what's happening? >> teachers want bigger paychecks, 23% raise over three years and smaller class sizes. they are also asking for more time for planning and more special education teachers. this first-ever strike in portland public schools has kept about 45,000 students out of the classroom for the entire month of november so far, and with the thanksgiving holiday coming up, depending on how the negotiations go, it's possible kids won't set foot in school for the rest of the month either. >> the potential impacts of this strike on student learning is really great and we will -- we don't want to see that increase those impacts increase anymore. >> in andover, massachusetts, students are back in the classroom after a five-day teacher strike. the union there was charged $50,000 fine because it's illegal in massachusetts for

teachers to walk off the job. and not even the teachers' unions are immune from being struck against. 48 field employees with the national education association voted this week to authorize a strike. over at the other major teachers' union, american federation of teachers president posted on x, formerly twitter, article with the headline "what's behind the increase in home schooling." she says it's because of gun violence, bullying and a lack of services for special needs students. but a lot of people in the comments pointed out also because of powerful teachers' unions pushing for school closures during the pandemic and pushing for progressive curriculum. so, i guess school's out for november over there in portland. >> sandra: oh, man, we'll be watching that. thank you. right now by the way, as we top a brand-new hour here, president biden sitting down with xi

jinping the first time in a year, and a lot of catching up to go. >> live shot of the balloon going down. it has been taken down, now falling from the sky there over surfside beach, south carolina. >> they sent a surveillance balloon into sovereign u.s. air space. >> china has been trying to achieve intelligence gathering capabilities in cuba. >> threat to the national security, innovation than the chinese government. >> sandra: we kick off "america reports" hour two with that high stakes summit, i'm sandra smith in new york. we know the president has arrived on the west coast, john. >> john: john roberts in washington. when you see the sound bites back-to-back, reminds you of what the president is up against here. infamous spy balloon, china's hold on tiktok and american farmland, just some of the

issues straining relations between the two nations. 0 military communications with beijing, even as the pentagon reports china is growing its nuclear arsenal. >> sandra: relations so bad, china even took back its pandas. president biden says time and time again, he knows xi, he's >> i met many times with xi jinping and candid and clear across the board. >> i met more with xi jinping than over any world leader has over ten years. 91 hours of one-on-one conversations, 68 hours. i was asked by xi jinping years ago could i define america, and i said one word, possibilities. >> sandra: in moments, speak with mark warner on what he wants to see come out of this high stakes meeting. >> john: but first, peter doocy is travelling with the president in northern california. why does president biden think

he has leverage over xi in this meeting? >> president biden thinks the u.s. economy is performing so much better than the chinese economy at the moment. and last night in san francisco, president biden told a group of wealthy donors, contributing to his campaign the following. president xi is another example of how reestablishing american leadership in the world is taking hold. they've got real problems, folks. and the white house officials are elaborating on that today. >> it is a fact that president xi has domestic economic challenges. how he deals with that is up to president xi. >> a group of republican senators is writing the you state should not throw any sort of economic lifeline to xi jinping after the mess he has made of the chinese economy. these two are expected to officially restore a hotline between the u.s. and chinese military, and keep a.i. out of

nuclear weapons system and try to figure out how to crack down on fentanyl's precursor ingredients made in china. >> we made clear the most important thing we want to accomplish tomorrow when the two leaders meet. >> and that meeting is going to happen here at faloli, a 40-minute drive outside downtown san francisco, historic home and gardens that usually is rented out for weddings but today reserved by the world's two most powerful men. john. >> john: well, let's hope they have a marriage of some sort or a meeting of the minds. peter, thank you. sandra. >> sandra: virginia democratic senator mark warner. thanks very much for joining us. does president biden have the leverage he thinks he has? >> well, listen, in china we have a competitor unlike anyone we have had in the past.

russia, soviet union was a military threat, ideological threat but china is investing at almost the rates we used to in advanced technology, quantum computing, artificial intelligence, 5g and beyond, and interest to establish mill to mill communications, god forbid we have another shoot down incident, someone has to pick up the phone. they have to understand that fentanyl is killing 100,000 americans and be held accountable. >> will the president say that to xi? >> i think he will. any american leader would say that to xi, and a.i., not a very high bar but something obtained as well. because candidly, a.i. is moving faster than policy makers in the united states or china are moving at all. >> as peter doocy reported

heading into this, president biden thinks he has all this leverage because the american economy is thriving. that is obviously his perception of the economy. we continue to get reports, latest oust of the university of michigan, consumer sentiment has dropped 5%. people are souring, because of the interest rates are 22-year high to tame inflation. the economy is not polling well as you know, senator. >> sandra, let me take that on. in china, you have economic circumstances they have so overheated their economy, they're tearing down fully built apartment buildings, nobody to live in them. secondly, china has stopped reporting on youth unemployment. any time a country stops giving out data, you know it's not a good sign. inflation still too high in america, absolutely.

but yesterday, dropped at a level beyond what the experts expected. the fed has got high interest rates but i think you may be seeing what nobody would have predicted and i know you are not keen on biden, but you know, you might have to give the fed a little credit, they may get a soft landing here. >> i don't know who you guys is, but i'll challenge you with this. senator, this is john kirby on american businesses, ok, a big part of the presidential debate that has been happening in this country, brought up by some of the candidates, on american businesses investing in china. i want to ask you a question, listen. >> many american ceos are looking to diversify investments, so in multiple countries, including china, of course. we have been clear about some investments in china we believe are injurious to our national security and so we don't support that. >> sandra: i guess a few ways to look at that.

if things are so bad in china, why are the top american ceos looking to invest in china and two, should we allow that? >> let me try to answer the question. one, there have been years of investment in china, and frankly, they do it for lower prices. starting in 2017 on a bipartisan basis, i've been meeting with business sector to sound the alarm in a classified setting about chinese $500 billion of intellectual property theft, the fact they are out investing in some key technologies and some parts of american business would not even meet with us. american private equity precovid would not hear because they were involved in bite dance, other things, chinese tech companies. point now is we are seeing -- let me finish the answer, ma'am. >> i'm asking if they should be allowed to. >> i'm trying to be polite and answer. do i think we will go through a complete decoupling between china and the united states, no.

continue to put particularly in advance technology, the kind of sanctions on shifting advance technology to china, yes. do i think we should put additional pressure on great american iconic companies like apple to actually move some of that operation out of china, and should we go ahead, which we passed, i'm proud with john cornyn, the two key authors of the chips deal that says you know, to be competitive we have to build semiconductors back in this country. we have $52 billion, doing that, we ought to be bringing those jobs, not just back from china, but frankly, we don't make any advanced chips in this country. they are all made in taiwan. that is a national security concern and finally point out the last point, which is -- >> sandra: now it's my turn. >> some folks don't appear to understand, when you give an authoritarian a green light, whether it's president xi or when it's iran, or vladimir

putin -- one leads to success for all. >> sandra: some saying this deal shouldn't have been made unless russia was involved. >> what deal are you talking about? >> sandra: what we are seeing from the president and the deal heading into the meeting. by the way, these are live -- >> the president of the united states should not meet with the president of china without putin in the room? the artificial intelligence arms deal. the president, some are saying, has handed china a big win with this military deal. some are saying it's an incredibly poor decision. phil seigel, told our fox news digital the agreement at hand is necessary, though he argues that other major powers such as russia should be involve in the pact as well. the deal that china has

apparently struck limit the use of artificial intelligence in nuclear weapons. do you agree with that? >> we need a deal with a.i. on china, europe, all nuclear powers. i don't trust communist party of china for that matter president xi, i don't trust a war criminal in vladimir putin who is continuing to needlessly not only invade ukraine but not operate by any rules of engagement and the fact some want to walk away from that commitment to ukraine would be a historic mistake. >> sandra: we'll see. this is about to happen. we have the live pictures up, woodside, california and senator, mark warner, appreciate your time. thank you for joining us. >> somebody saw an israel birthright sticker on my laptop, they looked at me and said free

palestine. >> to see the unfortunate consequences of being a jew in america. >> john: jewish students describing the wave of antisemitic incidents on their college campuses in recent weeks. lawmakers are holding a hearing to investigate whether schools are doing enough to protect the billions of dollars as well as the billions flowing to the schools from arab countries. >> sandra: standing by to join us in moments, live. but first, mike emmanuel is standing by on who are we expecting to hear from at this hearing, what should we expect? >> sandra, good afternoon. the hearing is just underway and the ways and means committee, the primary tack writing panel in the house will dig into antisemitism on college campuses and some finances of tax exempt charities and funding groups like hamas. lawmakers will hear from an

israeli actress and activist, and hear from the anti-defamation league. this comes a day after the massive march for israel here in washington with some students telling us the hurt being felt after hamas's attack on israel. >> israelis are completely and utterly shocked by how the rest of the world has reacted to the situation because they just don't -- you know, in israel, this war is a battle between good and evil. hamas is pure evil. >> some people what wanted to attend the march did not make it. 300 people from detroit were stuck on the tarmac, bus drivers walked off the job forcing the folks to miss out on the march. >> it's hard to always feel empowered to voice your opinion about israel, especially when you are supporting the jewish people and when antisemitism has

been rising to drastically the past month and yeah, it's -- it's upsetting. >> back to the congressional hearing under way, lawmakers are looking into what they describe as a lackluster response to rising antisemitism from many universities. sandra. >> sandra: mike, thank you. live in washington. john. >> john: a powerful moment in washington when tens of thousands of people showed up to show their solidarity with israel. the march even brought republicans and democrats together in a rare show of bipartisanship and couldn't have come at a better time as we see a surge in antisemitic incidents across the country. the jerusalem post editor and chief was also at the rally yesterday. good to see you, avi. the last time we saw each other we were in jerusalem. >> nice seeing you across the atlantic. >> welcome to a respite from the

war. and we may have interrupt to see presidents biden and xi meet. this picture, a rare show of bipartisanship in washington, speaker of the house, senate majority leader, minority loader and joni ernst, raising their hands in solidarity. >> inspiring and what we needed at this time. speaking not only as an israeli but also as an american jew, many feel scared, disempowered and quite fearful in light of the rise of antisemitic attacks across america and around the world. this is a moment for the community to come together, jews and nonjews, democrats and republicans from across the country, gathered together to show their solidarity with israel, to express their condemnation of antisemitism and call for the release of the 240 hostages held by hamas in gaza.

>> we have not had official estimates, but you put the number close to 300,000 people. >> if you read it in the jerusalem post, must be true. estimates are about 290,000. largest pro israel gathering in the history of the united states. >> john: a very powerful moment when debra messing called for a moment of silence -- just a moment, we need to pause for a second. president biden is walking out as xi jinping arrives. watch this moment and take it in.

there, sandra, one we have not seen in a year as the two presidents greet each other look like warmly and also their poker faces on, now a game of three dimensional chess here as they try to work through some of the thorny issues that are really sticking in the side of the united states. everything from fentanyl to china's military build-up to the spy balloon and so many other things as well. >> sandra: and against the backdrop of increasing tensions

between the two countries, john, i mean -- what a remarkable moment to see him here on u.s. soil meeting with the u.s. president. we are left to wonder what the conversation will look like as it is reported they are signing the deal to keep a.i. out of control systems for nuclear weapons. so, we'll see what we learn here shortly, john. >> john: the whole skynet thing, you want to make sure it does not happen but as you were pointing out with senator warner, if you are talking about that, that russia should probably be involved as well. but you know, there are a lot of people who are saying this potential deal that they have as we look inside now, the room where the two sides will be meeting, that they have on fentanyl since china is the main supplier of precursors of fentanyl to countries like mexico, and some people would say it's in china's -- in china's interest to keep the u.s. population addicted to fentanyl and the instability that that creates.

why would china ever make good on that deal. so, i don't want to say there is trust, there is a lot of mistrust as well. >> sandra: when you think about how high stakes the meeting is, a brief shot inside the room, hear more from the meeting with xi but opposing sides in the ukraine con flibt. you have the war between israel and hamas happening, beijing criticized the conflict in gaza, there is so much at stake and so much on the plate. we'll see what happens in that room, john. >> john: and overarching all of this, what china plans to do about taiwan, it has stated it wants to bring taiwan back into the fold and what the u.s. would do if that ever happened. we'll keep on watching that and the latest on that. meantime, avi mayer, jerusalem post editor and chief in

attendance yesterday, and the screen, when the president came out. poignant moment, a moment of silence, held up posters of people kidnapped in hamas custody, stands in sharp contrast to what we have seen with the people ripping down posters that were put up. how do you think that moment was taken in israel? >> extremely poignant. this is a country traumatizeed and wrought with anxiety over the fate of the 240 hostages, most of whom we don't know where they are at. they don't know what their well-being might be, whether they are still alive. family members are wrought with anxiety for such a long time now and that moment of solidarity was i think extremely, extremely powerful. in light of that, this ugly phenomenon that is taking place, people are tearing down the photographs of hostages, including a 9-month-old baby and a holocaust survivor.

it's an act of dehumanization and what we saw yesterday was a celebration of humanity, of life and a confidence that we will indeed bring hostages home. >> john: irony, you came from a war zone to be here in w, d.c., and tweeted this. my american friends have told me to stay safe in the war in israel. as i made my way to d.c., my israeli friends told me to stay safe due at antisemitism. the rally was designated as a level 1 event, secured for massive events targets for terrorism like the super bowl. >> it's astounding. what we are seeing on social media and across world is horrifying. i was at my alma mater the other day. >> university of maryland

outside of d.c. and when i was a student there 20 years ago it was a quiet, apolitical campus and it is being torn apart by what's going on right now. jewish students are fearful of demonstrating their solidarity with israel, they are doing it anyway, which i think is a huge testament to their braverly, not only maryland but a climate of intimidation. and we have to fight back. >> john: our gillian turner went to columbia, and she said you could never imagine the campus right now. joe biden and kamala harris, bipartisanship and people coming together, the biggest rally against antisemitism that i believe has ever occurred in the united states, neither one of them was there. now, biden was making his way to san francisco, but he had four hours of down time. could he have delayed his departure to show face at the rally. what did you make of the fact

neither one of them showed? >> i wouldn't read too much into it. i think the president and the administration have been hugely supportive of israel during this time. israel and israelis are extremely grateful to the president for his leadership, for his support for israel as right to defend itself. and what we saw on stage was a tremendous bipartisanship, speaker of the house and chuck schumer and joni ernst up there, and i think that and of itself is extremely powerful. this is a period in which america is torn apart in partisan ways, and democrats and republicans do come together. >> john: as you head back to jerusalem, stay safe over there. back inside the room in woodside, california, the shot is back up. you see the chinese and american delegations sitting down at the table. president biden is talking here. >> and united states is a great

honor and a pleasure, particularly as regards to our summit today. and for the apec leaders meeting this week. look, this time of year, about a year and a day ago we met in bali on the sidelines of the g20. since then key members of our teams have had important discussions on issues ab matters to our nations and the world. as always, no substitute to face-to-face discussions. always found our discussions straightforward and frank and i've always appreciated it. mr. president, we have known each other for a long time. we have not always agreed, not a surprise to anyone, but our meetings have always been candid, straightforward and useful. i've never doubted what you told me in terms of your candid mate you are in which you speak. i value our conversation because i think it's paramount that you and i understand each other

clearly, leader to leader, with no misconceptions or miscommunication. we have to ensure competition does not veer into conflict. and we also have to manage it responsibly with competition. that's what the united states wants and what we intend to do. i also believe it's what the world wants for both of us. candidate exchange. we also have responsibility to our people and the work -- and the world to work together when we see it in our interest to do so, and critical goal we face from climate change to narcotics to artificial intelligence demand our joint efforts. so i look forward to begin the discussion and i welcome you and the floor is yours, mr. president. and again, welcome back.

>> voice of translator: mr. president, good morning. coming here i thought of -- i think of your trip to china when i was the vice president of china. we had a meeting. it was 12 years ago. i still remember our interactions very vividly and always gives me a lot of thoughts. last time we met in bali you said it was a year and a day ago. a lot has happened since then. the world has emerged from the covid pandemic but is still under its tremendous impacts. the global economy is

recovering, but it's momentum remains sluggish. industrial and supply chains are still under the threat of interruption and protectionism is rising. all these are grave problems. the china-u.s. relationship, which is the most important bilateral relationship in the world should be perceived and envisioned in a broad context of the accel brating global transformations in a century. develop in a way that benefits our two peoples and fulfills our responsibility for human progress. chinese u.s. relationship has never been smooth sailing over the past 50 years or more and always faces problems of one kind or another yet it has moved forward with twists and turns. with two countries like china and united states, it's up to remodel the other and

confrontation has unbearable consequences for both sides. i'm still of the view that major competition is not the major trends of current times and cannot solve the problems facing china and the united states or the world at large. planet earth is big enough for the two countries to succeed. one country's success is an opportunity for the other. it is an objective fact china and united states are different in social and development path. however, as long as they respect each other, and pursue cooperation they will be fully capable of raising above differences and finding the right way for the two major countries to get along with each other. i firmly believe in the promising future of the bilateral relationship. mr. president, you and i are at the helm of china-u.s. relations. we shoulder heavy responsibilities for the two peoples for the world and for

history. i look forward to having an in-depth exchange of views and reach new understandings with you on strategic and overarching issues critical to relations and major issues affecting world peace and development. i wish to thank you for your thoughtful arrangements fr our meeting today and participation at the apec meeting. thank you. >> thanks, press. time to go, time to go. everyone is heading out.

thank you so much, everyone has to head out. everyone has to head out. everyone is heading out this way. out that way, guys. pick it up, head out that way. picking up and head out that way. thank you so much. everyone is heading out this way. thank you so much. everyone is moving out. thank you, thank you. everyone has to head out, everyone has to head out, everyone has to head out. >> john: hang in to the bitter end to see if the president will answer questions asked of him and we hear the white house stuff and the apec summit staff say everybody has to get out now, the camera is lingering longer than it usually does but boot it any second now. we heard from the president and president xi, xi said over the last 50 years relations between the united states and china have never been smooth sailing,

problems abounded at every turn and yet they move forward. >> no substitute for face-to-face discussions, obviously the president saying that it was good for them to be meeting face-to-face. one thing on the reports about the deal the president said he hopes they can work together on artificial intelligence and climate. so, that meeting is now underway. bring in 2024 presidential candidate chris christie. thank you very much for being with us today. you were obviously listening to that. what did you take away from what you heard from the two world leaders there? >> not much. what's going to happen in public is going to be significantly different, at least i hope than what's going to hand behind closed. do the initial first statements that are mostly courteous and pretty empty of any specifics and hopefully behind closed doors talk about the things that should be discussed and i hope that the president brings up the role that china is playing to

foment violence around the world, and that's what they are doing. by funding the russians in the war against ukraine, all of them working together to support hamas, these are things that i hope the president brings up and ask president xi to account himself for. >> john: so governor, we understand there are maybe 2 or 3 deliverables, an agreement to renew military to military context, potential deal on a.i. when it comes to certain technologies and nuclear weapons, and as well, a deal on fentanyl. can we trust that china is going to live up to whatever terms of the deal there might be? it's the prime supplier of fentanyl precursors to mexico. the cross border business in fentanyl is huge as we know. and it's kind of in china's interest to keep the cycle of addiction going in this country. >> well, the answer is no. we can't trust them.

but, as ronald reagan said in his day, trust but verify. and so ok, i would rather have us talking and having a deal with china and now we have to have stringent ways to verify whether they are actually keeping up. and frankly, given our intelligence capability to and verify, what they are doing is another method of waging war against us, john. sending the stuff they know will come over to the united states. last year, killed 110,000 of our citizens. this is war against the u.s. that's done through an intermediary in mexico in the drug cartels. i'm ok with speaking to them and coming to agreements but we have to use intelligence capability to verify they are keeping up. >> sandra: everything we are talking about makes the upcoming election more and more important as our tensions with china rise. john spoke with ronna mcdaniel

about the republican infighting and asked her about this as you this morning took shots at some of your republican colleagues and candidates. listen. >> republicans are really sick of this in-fighting. we saw it with the speakers race. so sick of us hitting each other and not focusing on the issues and focusing on the democrats. >> sandra: do you worry the in-fighting will eventually damage your party? >> no, it's called a primary. we are going to be critical of each other and we should be. but, what unites us is much greater than what divides us and an appropriate nominee for president, i'm sure you will see them unite to defeat joe biden and kamala harris. we did not have a primary in 2020 because we had an incumbent president. but plenty of infighting going on. i don't mind arguing with folks

as long as we are arguing towards an end that will be productive for the party and for the country, and certainly what i've, what i did today hudson institute and other places, raise issues and differences of opinion. >> john: the email we got from your campaign accused the other candidates, one a sitting governor, former governor and former u.s. ambassador to the united nations, then a businessman from ohio, as being not serious candidates. how can you say they are not serious? >> we are saying their statements are not serious. when you say we are going to shoot them stone cold dead at the border, most people know that's not going to happen. desantis said he's going to build the wall in mexico and they are going to pay for it.

and in the end, don't deliver. war in ukraine, the attack on israel, we need people who are going to talk about this stuff in a serious way, make promises that can be kept based both upon what they are saying and their history. >> sandra: shows that former donald trump at 58.1%, desantis 14.8, haley 9.1, so based on all of that, obviously noting senator scott out, are what is -- what do you do now, what is your strategy? >> geez, i guess from that i should drop out. real clear politics average is not worth anything. we don't have a national primary. and if you look at what's going on in new hampshire, i'm in double digits.

as is ambassador haley. and donald trump is well below 50% in those places. and so look, we don't have a national primary, i don't know why you guys continue to put up the real clear politics average of national polls>> sandra: where do you think you are? >> i don't care where i am in national polling. it doesn't matter, we don't have a national primary, sandra. if we had a national primary i would be in desperate horrible straits but we don't. in iowa, i'm at 6% in iowa, by the way, i have not spent one hour in iowa since the beginning of this campaign. eight years ago i got 2%. so, you know, the fact is that this is going to be run state by state. i am solidly in every poll in either second or third place in new hampshire, both instances ahead of governor desantis, in some ahead of governor haley, some behind her. the problem, sandra, this is all a play for second place if you

don't go after donald trump and nikki haley said the other night he's the right president for the right time. well, i don't know that somebody got indicted four times based on conflict in office was the right president for the right time. and you know, i look at the way they cuddle up to donald trump. well, good if you are content with second place then don't take on the front-runner. i've been taking on the front-runner from the beginning i want to win the race. >> john: drill down state by state and further down in new hampshire. that is a bright spot, you are in third place, 8.3%, but 38 points behind trump. and you know, of the white mountains of new hampshire, a very tall one to climb. >> we do, no doubt. but the only way t climb it is go after it and climb the mountain. get there, be on the ground, i'll be in new hampshire again

tomorrow and to take on donald trump. and ok, the point -- a better chance of catching him because she won't take him on. you can't have it both ways. can't have it both ways. >> sandra: i know you reached the donor threshold, have you qualified for the fourth debate? >> yes, we are qualified for the fourth debate. we will be there in tuscaloosa, alabama, and i fear the own ones telling the truth about donald trump and look, just remember something, sandra. super tuesday, the day before he's going on trial. the number one witness against him is going to be mark meadows, not some rogue democratic prosecutor or product of the two-tiered system of justice, it's his former chief of staff he called the next james baker, will say donald trump knew he was lying on election night when

the election was stolen, they told him it wasn't, and everything for illegal acts to block the certification of the election and overturn it. if he's convicted, and he will be based on the testimony, anything else discussed from late april to november other than the fact that donald trump is a convicted federal felon? we are going to lose this election to joe biden if we nominate him, we have to get smart about it now. >> john: no question, a lot of variables out there. i remember one very prominent variable in the fall of 2016 and you managed to overcome that and still win. and by the way, john. happy birthday. >> john: did you bring a cupcake, too? >> no, just my love, john. >> john: thank you, appreciate it, governor. good to see you. >> sandra: president biden and chinese president xi holding talks as north korea takes new steps to bolster nuclear capabilities. can the u.s. and china come

together on a plan for pyongyang. those who tried me felt more energy in just two weeks. -ahh, -here, i'll take that. woo hoo! ensure max protein 30 grams protein, one gram sugar, 25 vitamins and minerals, and nutrients for immune health.

>> sandra: foreign policy issues are high on the agenda for president joe biden as he is meeting right now behind closed doors with china's xi. the two leaders expected to discuss beijing's influence with iran and its alliance with russia amid ongoing wards. and cooperation could also be coming up after pyongyang tested a new engine for intermediate range missiles. greg palkot is live in london. what do we expect of the summit? >> it's a high stakes meeting, absolutely. we heard from president biden and chinese president xi a short time ago, they were very careful, very polite, setting out their stalls, set out the

parameters of this. they noted they had not seen each other for a year and a day, and xi met with trump in 2017, a lot of bad water under the bridge, both on the foreign affairs side and the domestic side. we know there will be agreement for renewable energy sources, commitment to deal with the trafficking of the opioid fentanyl but no real specifics or break throughs on economic or trade issues. a dinner between business executives and president xi later tonight. as for geopolitics, a move to reestablish military to military communications, a.i. use and around taiwan, no progress expected there. north korea we know that china, beijing, president xi is the number one ally to chairman kim, behind him all along, and revealing of yet another range of missiles.

intermediate range of missiles from chairman kim and from north korea. yes, president biden will press president xi on this. it's not clear how much room he will give because he's competing with president putin, actually, russian president putin is involved in north korea as well. but foreign policy, domestic issues, all on the plate and all happening right now. >> sandra: it is happening right now indeed, greg palkot, thank you. >> thank you.

wireless that works for you. it's not just possible, it's happening. >> john: new video from the idf from their targeted operation inside the al shifa hospital where in the mri room they uncovered a cache of weapons including grenades, bulletproof

vests. this is on the surface where they found out cache of weapons. there you can see it laid out by the idf. one thing that they haven't done yet is go underground to what is supposed to be a vast underground network of tunnels and rooms that hamas is using as its headquarters. one person that knows about tunnels that are being dug by foes of israel, senator steve daines. senator, good to be with you. you were in israel on august 28. you were taken through a tunnel dug by hezbollah. what to you believe based on what you saw here that the idf is up against in gaza? >> take a look at the hamas and the tunnels in gaza. it was not being talked enough about, the tunnels dug by hezbollah. another iranian terror group. these are at the lebanon border, 80 feet in the ground.

that's video i shot on my own phone, john. on the side of the tunnel doug by hand, spray painted in arabic it says on our way to jerusalem. the plan was thousands of hezbollah terrorists flooding through the tunnels in to israel for another targeted terror attack sponsored by iran. the concern we have is this expands to the northern border. hezbollah is a more sophisticated adversary than hamas. they have over 130,000 rockets embedded in hospitals, mosques and schools. because they use human shields. they don't care about life, john. they care about destroying israel. >> john: as we pointed out, senator, the al shifa hospital, at some point they need to get underground to root out hamas. it's believed by the united states and israel that hamas han been using it for military

services. how does israel in your mind complete this operation without igniting such a firestorm of condemnation from the international community that they can't keep going? >> it starts with leaders of the united states of america. we have to have a president standing strongly with israel. we have to give israel, the space and time that they need to destroy hamas. who suffers are also the palestinians under hamas rule. so we have to give them the time to do what they need to do, push back against world opinion. that starts at the top with the president of the united states. he's talking about cease fires and so forth. that is dangerous. a cease fire allows them to regroup and reposition. >> right now the president is talking about u.s.-china relations with xi jinping. you said he would have been better off to go to the border and skipped this meeting. >> he should have said let's go to the southern border. it's almost been a year since

he's been on the southern border. vice president harris hasn't been down there for 1 1/2 years, this is a national security crisis. he needs to go to the border as his higher priority. eight million coming across the border, the terrorists. instead, he's in san francisco meeting with xi jinping projecting american weakness. look who is at that meeting? it's janel yellen and john kerry sitting next to president biden talking to xi jinping. it's about their climate agenda. janet yellen went to beijing not long ago and kowtowed to the chinese. one more example of president biden being weak and emboldens the chinese and russians. >> 46,000 got-aways got in the country during the month of october. it's something else to chew on. great to see you. thanks.

appreciate it. sandra? >> sandra: john, i realized next weekend is thanksgiving. we're now looking at the primary dates. they're quickly approaching. it will come after the holidays in new hampshire. secretary of state has just announced presidential primary date of january 23. this comes despite the president's efforts to overhaul the election calendar. this will be the date. my, are these days quickly approaching. the new hampshire presidential primary set january 23. all right. a suspect leads police in washington on a wild chase after carjacking an amazon delivery driver at gun point. minutes after a previous car theft. it comes as motor theft is ticking up. a staggering 98% in our nation's capitol leave manage people feeling helpless. mark meredith is joining us live from washington. i'm hearing stories about strategies to avoid this happening to them, mark. >> you're right. i tell my wife, please be careful. we're worried about carjackings ourself.

usually we think about the expensive cars and mercedes. one show chose to steal and amazon delivery truck and led police on an hour-long chase. fox5 captures the video from the air. police say the suspect carjacked a delivery driver before crashing the car near a convenience store. the suspect fled on foot but he was captured a short time later. >> i see the amazon truck and sparks behind it. behind it, i see 20 police car. i'm like what in the world is going on? >> perhaps most shocking is how crimes like this are happening every day. violent crime in this city, up 39% over the last year. motor vehicle theft, up a staggering 98%. some people stealing police cars at this point. police in d.c. are looking for this man who they're calling a person of interest in stealing a market police car and then going shopping, picking up paper

towels and laundry detergent. the guy walking out right there from a police car and going shopping getting the paper towels. sandra? >> sandra: thanks, mark. something to watch there. thank you. john? >> john: all right. you just realized that thanksgiving is next week, right? the anticipated holiday travel rush almost here. nearly 56 million people are expected to travel for thanksgiving from the 22nd to the 26th. it's the third highest amounted of travelers since 2000. of course, sandra, probably didn't make any travel plans. c.b. cotton joins us live at la guardia in new york city. what does it look like where you are? not bad right now, i guess. >> not bad, not bad. i can tell you experts tell us remote work has simplified holiday travel. people are no longer con trained by vacation days. some people will be heading to their destination as early as this week. according to aaa, most people prefer to travel by car.

that breaks down to 49.1 million getting behind the wheel. 47 million hopping on the plane and 1.5 traveling by cruise, bus or train. the bottom line is you have to leave your house early. >> give yourself time to go through security. remember, if your flight is leaving at a certain time, it's not two hours ahead that you need to think about leaving your house. the doors close of the airplane before that take off time. >> and john, another good reminder is to make sure you check your flight status before you head out to the airport. back to you. >> john: remember, they close the doors before they take off. a good thing. thanks, c.b. sandra, an early heads up. 5 1/2 weeks until christmas. mark it down. >> sandra: oh, no. this is happening too fast. john, great to be with you. thanks for joining us. happy birthday, john. >> john: thank you. appreciate it. i'm john roberts. "the story" with martha starts right now. >> martha: thanks very much, bjorn and sandra. good afternoon. i'm
