he has revealed himself to be a total ideologue and i suspected he would become of that joe biden nominated him to provide a cover for the department of justice to be deeply politicized and even weaponized against the american people. >> shannon: a number of heated exchanges went down on capitol hill. plus tennessee senator marsha blackburn who asked the ag whether he would equate angry parents to the oklahoma city bomber. she joins us live to discuss. parents frustrated over another prominent democrat posting a picture inside without a mask while their kids are forced to mask up for hours a day in schools. this time it's new york governor kathy hochul mask less on broadway. not violating any laws or guidelines but a stirring backlash from parents who say they have had enough. americans irritated as more and more out of stock signs propping up in stores and online. one store owner has advice on how to save for your christmas. we begin with that senate judiciary committee hearing where amidst a slew of g.o.p., the ag stood by his memo warning of threats and intimidation and retaliation to the school board members. kevin corke is tracking the latest for us tonight. >> the ag merrick garland was subjected to the sort of grilling on capitol hill that is usually reserved for recalcitrant ceos and silk suited oil barons. the judge facing a withering onslaught of ridicule and recrimination after he issued that very controversial memo that had to do with parents and school boards. >> there is a difference between law and politics and you know the difference between law and politics. law is based on facts, it is impartial, it is not used as a tool for political retribution. this memo was not law. this memo was politics. >> texas senator ted cruz just one of several g.o.p. lawmakers to take to task the nation's chief law enforcement officer, going so far as to accuse the attorney general of engaging in political gamesmanship after he issued a memo instructing the doj to investigate parents who had "threatened a school board members." his october 4th memo was issued after the biden administration claimed it received a letter from the national school board association that suggested some parental behavior amounted to domestic terrorism. the ns b.a. has since issued an apology for that letter. >> thank god, you are not on the supreme court. you should resign in disgrace. >> he was also accused of targeting parents with opposing political views like scott smith, the father of a sexual assault dictum from loudoun county, virginia. >> you have weaponized the fbi and the department of justice ergo the u.s. attorneys are collecting and cataloging all the ways that might prosecute parents like mr. smith because they want to be involved in their children's education and they want to have a say in their elected officials. it's wrong, it is unprecedented to my knowledge in the history of this country and i calling you to resign. >> garland attempted to explain why the national security division of the doj was involved in the investigation and enforcement of framework of the directive, noting that forms of intimidation and harassment could rise to the level ergo but he also maintained that the memo itself was simply being mischaracterized. >> nothing in this memoranda or any memorandum is about parents expressing his agreements with school boards. >> and yet the doj has catalogued 13 federal crimes for which parents could be prosecuted for speaking out at the school board meetings and that is the crux of much of the discussion today on capitol hill. >> shannon: thank you very much. one of the g.o.p. senators questioning the attorney general today, republican marsha blackburn pressed garland about the justice department memo that's part of the controversy, what it was based on and who actually wrote it. >> would you really, honestly put parents in the same category as terry nichols or timothy mcveigh? >> my god, absolutely not. >> did you write that memo committed staff staff like the memo? what would have led you to do this west neck it is so over-the-top. >> this memo is about violence and threats of violence. >> shannon: senator blackburn joins us now talking about the answers she got and lawmakers have not gotten. welcome, senator. >> good to see you, it was quite a day. >> i want to play something from one of the top democrats, senator dick durbin describing the people that are supposed to be the subject of this memo, here is how he described them. >> these are not routine people incensed and angry, these are people who are acting out of their feelings in a violent manner over and over again. the same people we see on airplanes and other places, some of whom we saw on january 6th. >> shannon: what do you of that characterization? >> it is so inappropriate for them to categorize individuals, parents that are showing up at school board meetings and classify them as domestic terrorists. of course, attorney general garland was involved in the oklahoma city bombing, in that case. working through that process, that is why i brought up to him timothy mcveigh and terry nichols, because to say there is harassment, that there is intimidation, there is threats of violence but then to not be able to articulate any of those, it led to what we saw as being incomplete answers that frustrated attorney general's. someone who was confused, giving political answers instead of talking about the rule of law. >> shannon: i want to read something from esquire. republicans try to get merrick garland to admit he's sending fbi s.w.a.t. teams to bust pta bake sales. he characterized it this way, he said the cumulative effect of all this ranting and raving was to leave the unmistakable impression that republicans were defending the intimidation of inconvenient local officials. do you think it's important to have a distinction between parents who are angry and show up and are using their first amendment rights, and those who would actually threaten violence? it makes it look like republicans are actually saying that you should be able to intimidate local officials. >> we know that no one is in favor of violence but what we are protecting his freedom of speech and the right of parents to be involved in the education of their children, their right to petition their government, these are people who are elected to represent them on these local school boards. when parents have questions about curriculum, about mandates, about material that is in the library, about the safety of children in school, of course they should be at the school board. they should be asking questions of the school board members. this is their right and thank goodness parents are concerned they are showing up and they have these questions. i do hope they are holding school board members to account. but for the school board association which of course has apologized for their letter to coordinate with the white house and then to deliver a letter, a memo that is signed by the attorney general of the united states and it is done in a four day turnaround. i brought up to him that there are 45 senators that sent a letter to him in august asking for a status update on the durum investigation and asking for that report to be made public. we still do not have a response but he can turn around this memo and basically calling parents domestic terrorists, it is unprecedented and unbelievable. >> shannon: the memo that came into them was the one that used the words domestic terrorists, it wasn't used in the doj and a lot of people feel like it was embracing that idea. >> once they signed it, yes. >> shannon: i want to make sure to ask about vaccine mandates, there are a number things floating down on capitol hill. i want to read something by jonathan reiner from the uw school of medicine. marsha blackburn stinks essential workers should be exempt from the vaccine because they figure out how to protect themselves, what the senator doesn't seem to understand is the becks majority figured out how vaccines work. not all of them want to or think they need to, what is your legislation about briefly if you could tell us? >> the legislation is very simple. that said if you are an essential worker, you showed up and did your job during the covid-19 pandemic, you do not want to take this vaccine for medical or religious reasons. you should be exempt from the federal mandate. we think that's important, it will help to preserve the jobs of first responders, our front-line workers, law enforcement, airline workers, the trucking industry, we are facing a supply chain shortage. we are going into the holidays, shelves are empty in stores and this is going to make it worse because there are 10.4 million jobs that are unfilled in this country and if joe biden gets his way with the mandate, what you are going to see is more jobs, hundreds of thousands of people that are going to become unemployed. >> shannon: we are going to talk later in the show how that is impacting one city and the police force in a hungry way, we will talk about that. a democratic leader taking heat over mask mandates, new york governor kathy hochul her night out on broadway with the tweet showing her without mask. the picture is sparking a lot of backlash online, primarily from parents who are angry their children are required to mask up for hours a day in order to attend school here in new york. no end to the supply chain crisis insight, a holiday season of heavy demands fast approaching, consumers are looking for those holiday bargains, they may be out of luck with retailers out of stock. correspondent mike tobin is taking a look at for us tonight. >> i don't have good news for you, through the pandemic u.s. consumers hoarded up $2.3 trillion in savings but it looks like that is over, the supply just isn't there. you would be doing well to pay manufacturer suggested retail. the parking lot of the west coast is a fine visual for the backup in the supply chain which means perfect holiday gifts will be hard to come by and more expensive this year. "the wall street journal" reports a number of out of stock messages online is up 172% compared to last year. >> if you see it now and that's what the child wants and what the grown-up wants, i would buy it right then and there because it might be here today but it might not be there tomorrow. >> retailers are making up for years of rampant discount and inflation. you will probably not see holiday discounts, rather full price. small retailers don't have that kind of power, they are stuck behind the back log, shipping prices are up 400%, wait times for ocean freight have increased by almost half and sometimes orders just don't show up. toy makers promise there will be presence on the shelves and under the tree. >> it will take a little bit longer and it's a little more challenging this year but our products even know they might get in the stores a little bit later, the last minute gift when the shelves will otherwise be empty. >> if you're looking to go over the air to grandmother's house, bad news there too, the u.s. is getting ready to lift international travel restrictions were vaccinated passengers. to quote the chief of delta air lines, it's going to be sloppy at first. >> shannon: thank you very much. breaking tonight, the biggest guaranteed basic income program in the country is coming to los angeles with thousands of families in need, a thousand dollars in cash every month, no strings attached for a year. chief breaking news correspondent trace gallagher is on the case tonight from our west coast newsroom in l.a., good evening. >> we have known the pilot program was moving forward and now we have the details to back that up. instead of the original $6 million price tag, the city of los angeles will now spend some $40 million to give 3,200 families living below the poverty line $1,000 a month for 12 months, no strings attached. meaning you don't need to look for a job, and you can spend the money on anything. families can begin applying on friday ending january the selected families will be announced. gears l.a. mayor eric garcetti. >> we are showing our national government a national model of what we can do. i hope everybody here will pick up the phone today and call your representatives in washington. >> the phones in d.c. might not light up the way the mayor is hoping. turns out even though free money is popular, it does have opponents. here's a south los angeles resident. >> we've had a labor shortage for quite a while and with stuff like this that keep coming in, more handouts from the government, stuf like that, it gives people more reason to just keep the labor shortage going instead of just putting more people at work, getting the economy moving, with money actually move around a lot more how it should be. >> back in 2020 during the heart of the pandemic, pew research did a poll on universal basic income and 54% opposed it. 45% were in favor. the pole dug deeper and found republicans overwhelmingly opposed the plan with the democrats largely supporting it. a majority of black and hispanic residents were also in favor. we should note to push this across the finish line, the l.a. mayor had to break a few promises, he initially said the city would use federal dollars to pay for it, now it's up to city taxpayers. of the 40 million allocated, 11 million will come from cuts to the l.a. police budget that came during the defined police movement. the city coffers are a bit higher and is so is the crime rate. >> shannon: more on that coming up. next, thousands strong migrant caravan is making slow progress on its way north through mexico with fears growing inside the group of a possible crackdown by the mexican government or being preyed upon by dangerous drug cartels. griff jenkins reports on the ground in southern mexico tonight. >> chanting "liberty" the caravan charges through a checkpoint as the mexican national guard stands by washing stomach watching. they are being deceived by the organizers. >> they tell them let's go in the caravan, we will get to the u.s. and let them pass, it's not true. >> the warning isn't breaking the will of the migrants. >> is not stopping us, we have the power of god right next to us and -- >> is not going to stop us, we will be moving. >> some migrants are word officials will try to break the caravan. >> immigration is getting together to take a lot of people from here. >> attorney general merrick garland was asked about it in today's senate hearing. >> i would tell them not to come. >> organizers say the caravan is 4,000 strong now. 400 between the ages of 17 and 18, at least 100 babies under a year. 65 pregnant women are in the group, three of them are past eight months, the journey has taken a toll after just five days. >> there are a lot of children here, so we see a lot of families in this caravan. >> as for who is paying for this group, caravan leader and u.s. citizen denies financial support. >> it's a people of goodwill like the churches, it's not necessary, i don't know. >> here's the thing, regardless of where the money is coming from, they are going to need a lot more of its. at the rate this caravan is traveling, they aren't going to be in mexico city until mid-november. that is a far cry from two years ago in 2019. they can hitch rides on tractor-trailers and they cannot do that now because mexico has made it illegal to do so. they are walking and they've got a long way to go if they want to get to their final destination, the u.s. shannon? >> shannon: griff jenkins, thank you so much for your reporting.

congressional correspondent chad pergram shows us, a haunted house and the senate. he knows where the bodies are buried on capitol hill, take it away. >> you've heard about tales from the crypt, but how about tales from the congressional crypt? >> some politicians naturally have skeletons in their closets, but some real skeletons haunt capitol hill. the congressional cemetery is a spooky spot, visitors can wander the graveyard for nighttime tours. you will encounter the grave of robert slade, a carpenter who fell to his death in the capitol rotunda, and tobias lear, george washington's top aide who later shot himself. the congressional cemetery is the final resting place of many prominent americans and members of congress. once they yield fact the balance of their time, many still haunt the u.s. capital just a few blocks from here. >> any building with a 200 plus year history, especially as far to history as has been seen in the united states capital is bound to have some interesting intrigue and perhaps a little bit of history, it's d to explain. >> the voice of president john quincy adams is said to haunt statuary hall, he died in what was then the speaker's office. however, the legend of the demon cat is one of the most startling of all capital ghost stories. >> the demon cat prowls about the holes of the capital when things are quiet and empty and dark. before national emergencies, we heard about things before like that for the civil war, kennedys assassination. >> there even paw prints which may belong to the demon cat and the frightening feline signed his initials in an obscure senate stairwell. steve has worked on capitol hill for six decades. >> we see on the floor there on the senate side of the capital, it could not be the district of columbia, direct current? >> it could be any of those things but none of those things appear here in the capital with regularity like the demon cat does. there is good reason to believe that are the demon cats initials. >> you think congress get hostile press now? tribeca in 1890. actual blood from a congressman are impressed into the marble of a staircase. he hated reporters and the legend goes that his ghost sometimes trips the press corps as revenge. >> i have never tripped there go >> only reporters. >> only reporters. >> would this apply to reporters and other part of the building may be trying

working. i'm a historian and the wine facilitates what i do thinking about and communicating with the spirits that founded this country and that are embodied in this building. >> there is disagreement as to whether or not the capital is actually haunted or as stephen king says, sometimes we make up horrors to help us coat with the real ones. on capitol hill, chad pergram. fox news. >> shannon: kevin corke is joining us again, just watched chad's piece, a lot of people believe in spooky things like demon cats and ghosts and everything else, what do you think? >> i find it fascinating if nothing else, there's a part of it that is like i want nothing to do with anything like that. let me share this for you. this is a recent survey, 2,000 people aged 21 and over found that -- wait for it -- 63% believe in the paranormal in some form or another, 57% said they believe in ghosts. 39% believe in visitors from other planets, 27% said they believe in bigfoot. 44% of those surveyed reported having a personal experience with the paranormal and 55% of those surveyed said they believe that a full moon can make people act strangely. what do you think of the pole and do you believe in spirits? >> shannon: i think there's a lot of stuff we can't explain, people want to believe there is something else. you and i are both very spiritual people, i believe there are such things as angels and demons in that kind of stuff. i believe in spiritual warfare, i don't want to get too deep here. i think they sense at the. >> i agree 100% with you and that's like when somebody is like it do you want to do a ouija board, i'm like i'm good to. >> shannon: yeah, people watch scary movies and go to bed, you're tougher than i am. come back and we'll talk about good news. >> i have a really

>> i think that's terrible, i can't speak specifically to virginia and what is going on there but i can tell you as a guy who's fighting in education what is being taught, what people send me, letters and things like that -- i don't care what the label is, i don't know what districts are teaching and which aren't but i do know it's toxic and to say that it's much ado about nothing is totally ludicrous. >> shannon: it's something that keeps coming up. interesting message from the former president, what you saw is president biden use the name trump 22 times speaking there in that speech. the former president putting out a statement saying we love trump in arlington, virginia, thank you, see you soon. people wonder is he going to show up there? the glenn youngkin campaign haven't asked him to come, we have no reaction from them. matt walsh has this tweet. trump indicating he's going to virginia, this will not be helpful, mcauliffe has wanted to make it about trump, glenn youngkin doesn't need trump's help. if he injects himself now it can only hurt. the former president is really good at trolling people, at teases, what do you think this is about? >> i can't wait to see president trump come i hope he comes out. let's have him, he's got trump national, he's got trump wind their way here have him here because i think this is not just a virginia election, this is a national election in terms of its implications. we are six days away, we'd seen some great early vote numbers from democrats, that's an encouraging sign. three and a half times the early boats as we saw back in 2017 but there are critical issues on this ballot and i would love to see glenn youngkin campaign with president trump. i don't know why his campaign isn't pushing to have him join him because he is very popular with republicans in certain parts of that state. he can do a great job in terms of galvanizing the vote. >> shannon: the left has made this so much about republicans who are running here and there are only a couple of big off year elections. they will continue to link republicans to president trump for the controversies of januarg how does that play for republicans and how do they walk that fine line between being supportive of president trump and the supporters who believe they wanted to run again and making that separation of january 6th and associated with that? >> that's always an interesting thing to jockey when you're running. do i want the big name here, doesn't help? this is a different theme because trump had a weird effect whether you like it or not. we are at a point where it's baked in. the people who are radically anti-trump will come out and vote against him because they don't like this guy, link him to trump and enough people who love trump -- but what you really want to do is you want to win a close race, get to the middle and i don't think those people are tied to either one. you've got to reach those people with what is actually happening in your state and the locally and convince them you are the best person. >> shannon: it wasn't that long ago that we heard folks saying terry mcauliffe really didn't want to president biden there campaigning for him in virginia but they were together this week. >> they absolutely were, those are all handicappers on the race pick of the are pulling out all the stops as you point out, we had president obama on the campaign trail, stacey abrams, the vice president, democrats believe in campaigning together. we are not afraid to share the stage with anyone in the president's numbers are a little down in the commonwealth. that doesn't matter at the end of the day, democrats are big tent at we campaigned together and we are not afraid to have anyone on the campaign trail with us. neither he's making this political calculation that he doesn't want president trump on the campaign trail or he does and there's just not clarity as to what he wants six days out from the election. >> shannon: i haven't seen a ton of governor northam out there, he has had his own controversies and there has been some distancing from him so every party has to make those decisions about who they do and don't want to with them those stages. we'll watch it less than a week out to. kevin and charles, great to see you both. the understaffed seattle police department now begging for volunteers to cover patrol shifts and a city councilwoman who didn't seem interested in helping police when they asked her for helping in a murder investigation. the lightning round with only the stories he can bring us, that's next. never settle for 25%. always go for 100. bring out the bold™ >> shannon: first stop in tonight's real news roundup, disney-pixar releasing the trailer for the upcoming toy story spin-off light year, fans are curious as to why tim allen was replaced with marble star chris evans because allen has voiced a role for over 25 years. has also become well known for his outspoken conservative views while chris evans has supported democrats including fund-raising for kamala harris. no word on the change officially but the movie comes out next summer. the state department issues the first u.s. patent sport with a gender x marker now adding a third gender option, it's not available to all applicants but state department spokesperson says he will be offered next year after the forms are updated. the university of pittsburgh in including the words -- featuring a list of terms to avoid including "secretary" or "clerk" instead using administrator. and instead of mankind, using humankind. seattle facing severe police staffing shortages in the wake of the sidelines more than 100 officers university mandates. the city was already short of hundreds of officers from being fully staffed. let's bring in the journalist to keep breaking these stories, another important issue in the pacific northwest. always great to have you with us. you report every day there are emails going out asking for volunteers to cover patrol ships, what did you find? >> every single shift in every single precinct in the city of seattle is now borrowing officers from nonpatrol units so they can have enough cops to respond to 911 calls. they are basically saying general investigation detective, we need your help, could you step up? and they say yes which is good for public safety in the short-term but obviously when you are pulling a detective off of their normal shift, it means they are not working to crack cases, they are already overworked on. they are getting hit with so many cases and they can barely keep up. this is obviously causing a problem and to give you a sense of how bad it is in the future, they still say the third watch in the west precinct, this is the one that oversees the neighborhoods of seattle that have the most shootings in the most homelessness, they are short staffed every day for the month of november. there's no sign things are going to get better. >> shannon: you are warning about this, there was talk about what would happen if they couldn't come to some accommodations with these officers and this is the reality. this has to do with a city councilwoman who was asked by police to help out with the murder investigation, they said she was less than enthusiastic, what can you tell us? >> spokane city councilwoman betsy wilkerson, there was an execution-style murder that was very close to a business that she runs and an officer comes up and talks to her over the phone, it's all caught on body camera. >> shannon: wait one second, we'll play a little of that and we will explain with this conversation is about. >> i don't know how willing betsy is going to be, i'm not really too enthused to help you. >> she said that? >> shannon: what was that all about? >> apparently she wasn't very enthusiastic about sending over her surveillance video, she's running for reelection right now and i want to her website, she's about collaboration and trust and respect except apparently when it comes to cops. it's possible there was some context to a comment that i think most reasonable people would say that's shocking, it's an execution-style murder, when do you want to help solve it? if there's context, she's not willing to provide it's because i have asked several times, she has not responded to any of them although i'm told the office sent an angry email to the chief of police how this somehow came out. >> shannon: this was an execution-style murder, this was a mother waiting to pick up her children. you think any person of goodwill in the community would want to help out. we have an issue of anarchy raining in portland, that is the headline. the daily signals of the problem is the politicians govern the state in the local officials who have intentionally tied the hands of law enforcement, they are the reason why it's impossible to stop criminals and mobs from doing what they wish to the city and we may not be hearing about it every day, you probably are you reporting about it but this is still happening in a regular basis there. >> that's clearly not happening as much as it was last year but it still happens and thanks to democrats passing over a dozen so-called police reform bills, they actually have made it worse for residents. house bill 2928 is the one people are paying a lot of attention to, it stops officers from using nonlethal tools for crowd control. they can't use tear gas or rubber bullets except under very specific circumstances. what we saw on october 12th was a group of antifa thugs gathering at a park, tagging buildings with the message kill cops, riots work, they spent about 10 minutes destroying basically any property they could but cops were unable to intervene because of this particular law. got an editorial up right now at foxnews.com that gets into the language of these bills and why it is stopping police. >> shannon: we will check it out along with all of your other work. when i see your headlines come i'm like is this babylon be?
