well, we still have a few days to go. the storm is moving east and by the time it wraps up will impact about 30 states. already started up dropping a bunch of snow on parts of the plains on christmas day. now storm is pushing into the upper midwest, and people who live in denver say snow is piled up on back roads making it nearly impossible to get around. >> it's just dangerous, slipping and sliding, running into cars and everything, cause accidents. >> there have been a number of road closures on major highways in kansas, the state highway patrol says a woman in her 80s died in a car crash because of the icy conditions and as far as air travel goes, some more trouble, too. flight delays and cancellations are a bit limited compared to the problems last year but still have seen hundreds of cancellations at both of chicago's airports because of this storm. now we are waiting for the heavy rain to push into the mid atlantic and northeast regions

in the days to come. rich. >> katie burn live in philly. thank you. jonathan. >> jonathan: rich, a major escalation in the red sea as the risk to u.s. troops grows by the day. u.s. forces intercepted a barrage of houthi drones and missiles in attack that lasted more than ten hours yesterday and learning a u.s. warship involved in that firefight shot down a ballistic missile, the first time that has ever happened in combat. hello, everyone. i'm jonathan hunt in los angeles. >> rich: rich edson in new york. john and sandra have the day of o. u.s. bases in the middle east remain on high alert after a drone attack injured three service members. biden administration said the strategy is aimed at preventing a widening war, but critics say it could get worse. >> my fear is one of these days we are going to wake up and one

of these missiles has actually gotten through and caused a catastrophic attack on one of our bases, or on one of our ships. and that is going to be squarely on joe biden's hands. r >> jonathan: the president is in the u.s. virgin islands for vacation. why won't the administration take a harder line against iran, funding and arming rebel groups all across the region? we'll ask former deputy national security adviser victoria coates. >> rich: lucas tomlinson is travelling with the president in st. croix. do we expect to hear from the president today? >> the white house called a lid, means you will not see him later today. he was asked a question about the southern border at andrews air force base about to take off for here, but he did not respond.

and of course this all comes one day after unprecedented attack in the red sea as you mentioned off the top. senator lindsey graham wants to see a more forceful response against the houthi rebels backed by iran in yemen. >> secretary austin and the biden administration is failing the troops in the field. i admire him, he's a patriot, but he's not doing a good job protecting the soldiers. is there a red line, would you tell our enemies publicly if you kill an american we are coming after you? >> again the first time in history of u.s. warship, any warship has shot down a ballistic missile in combat. it happened three times yesterday in the red sea, courtesy of a destroyer, and that's not all, a ten-hour battle began at 6:30 in the morning local time. and they have seen more combat than the seal teams.

each cost about $5 million. helping that destroyer shoot down the drones, fa-18 super hornets, and more history, guys, a u.s. navy super hornet like this from the u.s.s. dwight d. eisenhower scored an air to air kill, shooting down drones launched from yemen. first air to air kill for a super hornet back in 2017, shot down a fighter jet attacking u.s. forces in syria, and now they are under attack from nato ally turkey. >> whenever you are standing in front of a lawn that needs mowing, they will wait until you start talking and then they start mowing. thanks so much. >> every time. >> jonathan: very true, rich. very true indeed. victoria coates, former deputy national security adviser and heritage foundation vice president of foreign policy.

i want to start by looking at a "wall street journal" editorial, scathing one about president biden's reaction to the attacks on u.s. assets, said mr. biden's highest priority is avoiding escalation by iran or proxies. mr. biden is afraid, we use that word advisedly, of being involved in a larger conflict which might not be popular in an election year. about you that anxiety is now interfering with his core obligation to defend u.s. forces. president biden is afraid, victoria, that fair? >> well, jonathan, it's good to be with you. i think -- i think we need more than whispers out of the white house on this. and we have seen iran ratchet up its attack on u.s. personnel, u.s. interests, and it's not just in the red sea, although that is an exciting theater right now.

but it's in syria, it's in iraq, they are behind, they came out and publicly claimed agency behind the attack on israel on october 7th. so i think we need a complete overhaul of administration, iran policy, we can't be tip toeing around them, pick targets in yemen and push back, not escalation but make sure we will not stand for this. >> jonathan: david freeman believes we should strike iran, do you mean military targets in and around tehran, he said yes, the only way to send a message. you disagree with that, you think we should just go after the proxies at this point. >> well, not necessarily, david is a dear friend, and so i would want to discuss it with him directly to make sure i had his

meaning. i think if you had a strong president that was doing more than whispering in the white house, a track record to defend american interests and personnel, you could consider that type of activity. my problem with that strategy under our current leadership is i don't trust the biden administration to take the kind of decisive action that would send that clear message to tehran, that washington was not messing around. worried they would listen to secretary kerry recommendation, a pinpoint strike, something incredibly tiny against syria when barack obama did not enforce his red lines on syrian use of chemical weapons and that was a disaster. so, that's what we have to avoid now. i think targeting on yemen, which is the source of a lot of these attacks on our, particularly on our navy assets, would be a more manageable proposition for this crowd. >> jonathan: and we have all the naval assets in the

mediterranean and the red sea, 900 or so troops in syria, i think something like 2500 in iraq, so it's a target-rich environment for these proxies. and then we seem to fight back, it seems to me, victoria, by taking out a weapons cache, hitting a militant headquarters, but not really taking out the militants themselves, be they houthis or iran-backed proxies operating in iraq or in syria. we have the intel, nobody believes we can't see these people. why don't we just kill people who have carried out acts of war against our troops? >> well, it's the only thing they really understand, jonathan, and i would say the model for this would be the soleimani strike in january of 2020. you notice that they didn't -- iranians did not push back against this strike until after trump was out of the white house and biden was in and then

started additional attacks and plots. and i think your viewers need to be aware of going into next week when everyone is back in the office is none of what's happened over the last 24 hours has provided any confidence to the private shipping companies that rely so heavily on the red sea and the suez canal. and any disruption to the suez is an immediate snarl in international shipping supply chains, and so i think the administration just for our own self-preservation and well-being needs to be much more decisive and engaged on this, and i think the president in st. croix is unfortunately sending the absolutely opposite message. >> jonathan: very good point, victoria, that there are economic consequences as well as military ones in all this. victoria, wonderful to see you. >> rich: u.s. officials warn that americans living or travelling abroad are at risk of

arrest. u.s. citizens not going to countries where a quarter of the population. snatching. a tool for hostile governments. matt, when i see the story, the first thing i think of is russia. "wall street journal" reporter e e evan. >> he is approaching 300 days of being wrongfully detained in russia. the state department said it's made significant offers to russia to bring evan home, but the state department says russia has turned down those offers. and today the "wall street journal" has a lengthy report how americans are uncreasingly snatched abroad by hostile governments. biden administration has brought home at least 45 americans but roughly 30 other u.s. citizens are still being unjustly detained. includes a journalist born in

russia but has become a u.s. citizen. she was recently visiting her mother in russia when she was arrested for allegedly being a spy. she is the mother of two girls. she writes she's sharing a four person cell with five other people, it gets so cold her ink pen freezes. iran is considered so dangerous for americans, the u.s. state department warns citizens not to visit for any reason and if they do so, make a will before they leave. the "wall street journal" reports tens of thousands of americans disregard that warning annually. you may recall five americans regarded as political hostages were released in september as part of a controversial prisoner swap in which $6 billion was made available to iran. and the u.s. is designating nine nation high risk, including china, holding numerous americans in exit bans.

>> rich: good reason not to travel to those countries if you are american. thank you. we have some brand-new video into the newsroom, anti-israel protestors stopping traffic near new york's busy jfk airport. travelers trying to make it around the crowd on foot as demonstrators wave signs in support of palestinians. the protestors did not leave even after police arrived. instead, they began to chant from the river to the sea. we had a similar protest here in l.a. today, rich, outside lax. the protests are continuing everywhere and they are trying to disrupt ordinary folks travelling over the holiday week. they want to make an impact, obviously. >> rich: they do, and whether it's this issue, whether it's climate change, whatever the issues are when you have a group of protestors disrupting life like this, whether it helps or it actually hurts the point they are trying to push. moving on now, apple is at the center of a major international trade fight that could force the

company to pull the popular apple watch. a court ruling on that ban just came down. those details next. >> jonathan: plus, it's a trend reshaping the entire economy. rent forever, never buy. more and more people are doing it, and it's not just young americans and it's not all about affordability. we are sitting down with the big money show co-hosts, brian brenberg and jackie deangelis coming up next. at america's best, you can get two pairs of glasses and a free eye exam starting at just $79.95. and they don't even have to be identical! one pair can be practical and sturdy, while the other pair is super stylish and wildly good-looking. (♪)

>> jonathan: u.s. appeals court has agreed to block a ban blocking the import and sale of certain apple watches. it's a victory for apple but the fight is not over yet. steve is live with more, so, steve, can we still buy an apple watch in the u.s. or not?

>> in the u.s. and some places you can right now. buy them on amazon, might have a hard time finding them on the shelves of apple stores. that's because of a feature on the latest apple watches, series 9 and the ultra 2, a feature that measures the oxygen level in the block. the problem, a california tech company says apple stole its technology and hired away its workers. this is something the u.s. international trade commission agreed with, they put a ban on importing the latest apple watches in a fight that could be worth billions. and now just 24 hours later, that ban has been paused by an appeals court. >> this is a p.r. black eye more than a financial black eye for apple. but if they don't stop here, x it could expand and be a brush fire. >> apple is already working hard to tweak its design and hoping

for a favorable ruling from customs officials next month. jonathan, back to you. >> jonathan: steve, live in atlanta, thank you very much. >> rich: young americans all over social media explaining why it is impossible for them to buy homes. student loans, high mortgage rates, low salaries, but the "wall street journal" reports this trend is actually hitting far beyond generation z. a growing number of older americans who would buy homes are deciding to be long-term renters, having a huge impact on the economy. let's bring in the co-host of "the big money show," brian brenberg and jackie deangelis. >> jackie: a really interesting piece. we have been looking at mortgage rates, roughly 7%, you can't attain the american dream but that's not the case if you look regionally. so this article talks about what would happen if you tried to buy a home in scranton, at 7%, the average price is $179,000 so

mortgage payment is roughly $1,000 a month. that really is not that much, down payment would be 17,009 # hundred. but they actually prefer to rent in luxury buildings, average rents are $3,200 a month. so wait a minute, you are willing to pay 3200 to have a place to live, if you did the math there, and you say it's about the down payment, in eight months if you net out what your mortgage payment would be, you basically flushed your down payment money down the toilet. what is going on here? what it is, the different psychology. i want it now, i want it to be nice, i don't want the responsibility and they are sort of brainwashing americans not to build value through a home nest egg. >> if you are young and renting, you are putting your money in someone else's pocket. but if you discipline yourself to own, you put it in your own

pocket. it's a cultural -- it's not a financial thing. it's a cultural thing. it's this mood among younger generations, i want an experience, i want it now, i want to travel. >> have you seen these buildings? >> i get it it feels good, 30 years down the road, what happened to the money. >> you have a game room, some have dog washing stations, and rooftop views of the whole city, tough to compete with. >> when you are renting also, probably paying someone else's mortgage who is using that property as a nest egg and trying to build wealth. what i would say here in new york city, actually is cheaper to own if you do have the down payment. it all depends kind of regionally. the other thing i was thinking about you know, prices are not what they used to be, so our parents' generation would buy the home and maybe sell it for double or triple years down the line, you are not seeing those kinds of price increases, so thinking maybe that has something to do with it, they want to invest in stocks but the psychology, i want more and now

and leverage more. >> what about the idea of the money you have to put into a house, we have a construction project going. i've built this ring in my house, i take my life savings and put it in there and then light it on fire. >> the money pit. >> what about that effect, you look at the houses, buy a fixer-upper for this, or in this awesome building. >> let's be honest. it's very hard to buy a home right now, no question about that, because rates are high, because everybody with a home and a low mortgage does not want to sell. i'm not saying that young people have it easy. the problem is folks who could be in position or are in position to buy a home and they are saying i don't want to deal with the upkeep or the maintenance or the work, it's like if you don't put sweat equity into something you are not going to get anything out of it. so again, like this is basic financial management and somehow a generation has kinds of missed this and they are going to pay the price down the road and the sad thing is, they are going to want the government to come in on the back end and bail them out, that's where you have the

problem. >> i would just say this, you know, for me, it's about a sense of safety and security, too. just feeling like it's my own place, nobody can kick me out, can raise my rent, change it if you want to, you can do whatever you want. but at the end of the day, you want to make sure that you are sort of financially sound and also diversifying your investments. invest in the stock market, do it, but make sure you are diversified, housing and the market may not move in lock step. >> and interest deduction, the government is subsidizing for a time. >> you get some of the money back at the end of the year and if you are smart about it, you will not spend it but these kids today, rich. >> these kids today. >> these kids today. started out with the social media, too. did you notice that? >> contagion and tiktok, everybody wants to rent, don't listen to tiktok for financial advice, rule number one. >> brian, jackie, thank you for

breaking this down. jonathan. >> jonathan: i get all my financial advice from tiktok. meantime, campuses across the country continue to allow antisemitic rhetoric to go unpunished. now jewish students are looking to legal solutions to force college leaders to act. >> rich: a group of anti-israel protestors had planned to rally at the holocaust museum in question, but backlash, and pressure is mounting as idf pushes further into gaza. all of that coming up. they'd love to buy gold.me but because it's gold - they think it must be complicated. it isn't. not with rosland capital. with rosland... the entire process from start to finish is built on one concept... one... keep... it... simple. rosland capital - a trusted leader in helping people acquire precious metals. gold bullion, lady liberty gold and silver proofs,

>> jonathan: with less than three weeks to go until the iowa caucuses, the republican primary field is making final pushes. businessman vivek ramaswamy has eight events in iowa today, but his campaign is confirmed it has suspended all television advertising. nikki haley will host a rally

later tonight in new hampshire, where she's rising in the polls after getting the former governor's endorsement. but it remains to be seen whether any of the candidates can catch up to former president donald trump, who got some good news from the michigan supreme court. it ruled that he will remain on the ballot there. fox news legal editor kerri kupec urbahn weighing in on that last hour. >> kerri: from a political perspective, the cases against the former president as we have seen only seem to be helping him in the polls. seem to be increasing his numbers. not like trump, but they are very upset about what they are seeing in the justice system and this uneven application of the law. >> jonathan: it's certainly going to be an exciting and busy start to 2024. fox news will have you covered with iowa just 19 days away, followed by the first in the nation primary in new hampshire the following week.

rich. >> rich: critics say some of america's most prestigious universities refuse to talk about the antisemitism on campuses. jewish students are filing lawsuits accusing the schools of violating a federal civil rights law. lydia, could the lawsuits have significant financial impact on schools? >> there could be, the students are asking for the tuition to be refunded and attorney's fees associated with bringing lawsuits. in the short-term, keeping an eye on that. the lawyer says the suit is to protect students, university of pennsylvania, nyu, carnegie melon and berkeley, and violated title 6 of the civil rights act of 1964, prohibits any program receiving federal funding like a public or private university from excluding, denying or discriminating against a person based on race, color or national

origin. we spoke with one of the students suing the university of pennsylvania and he says the university fosters a hostile environment. >> when there is class happening on campus and there are people with bull horns chanting intifada, means an armed up rising throughout campus, that is not allowed. when this happened, for eight hours on a monday, it was during midterms. >> we reached out to the universities, they either declined to comment or have not replied to us. but the protests on college campuses are often defended as exercises of free speech. rich, the former assistant u.s. attorney, excuse me, former assistant u.s. secretary for education for civil rights says that claim of free speech is ironic. >> there are universities that have terrible reputation when it comes to free speech. they censor and punish people for saying things that are politically incorrect and yet

antisemitism, suddenly they discover the first amendment. >> in addition to the lawsuits by students, the department of education has launched several of its own title 6 investigations into colleges and universities. these investigations could potentially lead to the schools losing federal funding. lawyers say the information uncovered by the student lawsuits is important and could fuel the federal investigations, more of the big money impact you were asking about. >> rich: plenty to keep watching about. thank you. jonathan. >> jonathan: alarming show of antisemitism in washington, d.c., an anti-israel group planned to protest at the national holocaust memorial museum. organizers canceled the event after significant outcry on social media. with me here now in studio is israel bahar, counsel general to the pacific southwest. thank you for being here. it's hard to put into words, i

imagine, your outrage that any group would plan a protest outside the national holocaust memorial museum. what are these people thinking? >> i think these people are not only ignorant and don't understand historical facts about the jewish people, what the holocaust was about, the magnitude of the atrocities of the nazis what the hamas is trying to do to israel right now, and that's what it tried to do on october 7th. but really this rally is a rally for brutality. they do not understand they are actually supporting jihadistic extreme doctrine that calls for the elimination of israel. that's what they are supporting. it's not they are supporting piece initiatives or humanitarian initiative, they are threatening not only israel but the american people need to understand, they are threatening america. i think that they are using the american free society and free speech to support very dangerous radical ideas. so these same people are the

people that in new york city and in l.a. are tearing down the kidnapped signs of our hostages and i believe these people are tearing down these kidnap signs, eventually will tear down the american flag. >> jonathan: a lot of these protestors supposedly well-educated, coming out of our college system, and they are saying things and these are awkward things that they are saying but i want you to respond directly to this. one of the things i hear from the protestors, you see it on the social media pages, what about the 75 years of occupation before october 7th, what do you expect would happen? what's your answer to that? >> my answer is first of all -- historical blindness. israel tried so many times along the years to come to terms and to agreements, peace agreements with the palestinians in different ways, different american presidents put a lot of effort to come to terms and create a peace process between israel and the palestinians and

we tried and offered even land, 98% of samaria was offered, and rejected it, and rejected 75 years ago in the partition plan. so they need to get their historical facts and knowledge, not from tiktok, but real genuine historical books. >> jonathan: and what about the other thing that they say again and again and again, what about the proportionality. israel has killed, according to hamas, at least, 20,000 people in gaza. they say that that is not proportional. your answer to that. >> my answer, first of all, we did not start this war. two, they are using their own people as human shields. three, it's an urban warfare, very, very complicated, and fourth, war can be stopped tomorrow. hamas needs to surrender and then the war is over. and then gaza can continue with

their life but not allow or be accused of protecting ourself but bringing a message or an argument of proportionality. we are defending our lives. that's what we are doing, period. >> jonathan: you mentioned to me earlier this this obviously a time of national depression i think was the phrase you used. do you see any reasons for optimism or will we be sitting here in one years' time still in a time of national depression for israel and indeed for the world? >> think first of all, israel is very strong and the society is very strong but there is a sense of sadness for what happened which is understandable as human beings. there was a horrible atrocities, women and israeli civilians, but we do believe we are going to win this war, it's going to take some time and we need time. international aids need we need time to win the war. it's not a video game. it's a real war and it takes time. the vast terrorist network that

we found in gaza right now, which we didn't know before, it's unbelievable. think by lived in new york city before. think about the whole metro of new york city is filled with 30,000 terrorists that they have ammunition and all they want to do is to try to kill civilians. that's the scope and the magnitude of the task that we have. we need to neutralize the hamas and we will do it. so, israel is going to come victorious and we are strong and with all the pain we have right now we are going to overcome the pain and we know that we don't have any other choice, jonathan. in order to win or not to be able to live in israel as an independent country. >> jonathan: mr. consul general, nice to talk to you. >> rich: with the massive migrant caravan forming in mexico, all hands on deck in sanctuary cities. chicago struggling to take care of the migrants arriving by

train and bus, and the mayor is out with a major warning. that next. >> jonathan: and top biden officials meeting face-to-face with mexico's president. will these discussions do anything to stem the flow of the thousands of migrants coming across the southern border? national correspondent griff jenkins has been on the ground covering all of it. he's here live next.

>> jonathan: migrants are arriving in illinois by the bus load, and heading to chicago hotels that are becoming shelters to handle the influx. officials say these arrangements are now costing taxpayers in the windy city hundreds of millions of dollars. fox business correspondent is live in chicago outside a migrant shelter where more. so, kelly, can we put more precise figure on this? how much is it really going to cost taxpayers there? >> jonathan, the governor's office says this will be about $160 million set aside in the 2024 budget. the mayor of chicago saying that they need more funding from the federal government to make this happen. take a listen. >> i've said repeatedly we need

more resources and i've asked for $15 billion for the entire country, i know i have congressional delegation -- congressional delegation in illinois that has asked for $10 billion without significant federal support. this is not sustainable. >> the windy city has received over 30,000 migrants from texas seeking asylum as mayor brandon johnson says. chicago has been targeted for its sanctuary city status. nearly 15,000 migrants are spread out across the city's 27 shelters. we are in the fulton market neighborhood right now, a commercial building that is giving shelter to the migrants. the association telling us the city is doing it illegally and this is not zoned to be used for residential housing. back to you. >> jonathan: kelly, great to see you, thanks so much. rich. >> rich: right now, secretary of state antony blinken and homeland secretary mayorkas are

meeting with the mexico president to stop the flow of thousands of migrants crossing into the united states every day. it's all happening as a massive migrant caravan advances through mexico to the southern border. the largest group in more than a year. the next witness has witnessed it firsthand. griff, like a conversation in the d.c. bureau, have it on television now. >> griff: and the caravan you were just showing, it's in the town of wheatsla right now, northernmost city in the southernmost state, so they have gone from tapachula, so that's where the train starts. >> you've been in the caravans. >> the leader of the caravan is talking about the meeting in mexico city between mayorkas and blinken and president obrador

and said it's fools talking to fools, nothing will happen because obrador just wants money from the u.s. what's significant about the caravan, it's haitians, cubans and hondurans, and they are marching with a sign that says freedom from poverty, and poverty and getting a better life and a better job is not the threshold that you get asylum in the u.s., but yet here comes 15,000 strong, possibly, that are going to cross with expectation to be released in the u.s. >> another part of the country in mexico city, dhs secretary, secretary blinken, secretary of state, they are having conversations with mexico's president. what could possibly come out of this? >> griff: well, we'll find out. and i don't want to, you know, say anything that if they get a great take away, that would be awesome. cover the state department, you know how these things works. but blinken around october 3rd or four was in mexico to deal with the problem. that's when a new fiscal year

began. and since the fiscal year began, more than 730,000 migrants cross, and encountered. clearly whatever they did last time did not work. this is a complex problem and a lot of people don't know, but the 3,000 you saw with me a few weeks ago in december crossing in eagle pass, texas, those are mostly venezuelans, haitians, cubans, hondurans, coming up on the train. fairly poor migrants and not paying a lot of money. in lukeville, arizona, where melugin is doing great work, the migrants from african countries, iran, russia, they are largely paying tens of thousands of dollars to cartels, the migrants don't want to stay in mexico. that's why remain in mexico is effective. they want to go to the u.s. and he does not want the drain on mexico with the u.s..

i'll leave you with this. center for immigration studies put out a study last week that 59%, three in five households where an illegal immigrant is living, they are on welfare of some sort, taxpayers are paying for that. obrador knows that. he doesn't want them to deal with what we are dealing with here. >> rich: the conversation in the perspective of the u.s. goes as good as it possibly can. what power does the mexican president have here? does he have that much control over the situation if he even wanted to exert it? >> griff: great question and i talk and read the mexican press constantly so we know what's happening there, and the mexican press is saying for the better part of a month, the mexican version of their border patrol is broke, they have no money. so it's up in the air about what he could do if there was real pressure applied to him to get it under control.

he needs resources, i suspect that obrador will ask for money. meanwhile, obrador and mexico is losing money with ports of entry like the crossing in lukeville that's closed, so i don't know, one thing obrador said he wants, he wants the u.s. to have a better relationship with countries like cuba and haiti so we can have a repatriation to send them back. months ago mexico agreed to take the migrants we cannot send back to the countries, and sending a few back to venezuela but pales in comparison to the number crossing. see if that goes as well. >> rich: always great to talk to you. thanks so much. >> jonathan: rich, i'm jealous you get to hang out with the great griff jenkins. meantime, the "new york times" is suing microsoft and open a.i.

>> "the new york times" is suing microsoft and open ai over copyright infringement. the newspaper says it lost billions of dollars over that copyright infringement. grady trimble is live in washington with more. grady, this seems to be the first lawsuit of its kind.

is that right? >> it is, jonathan. because of that, this lawsuit could have wide-ranging impacts for both media and a.i. companies. "the new york times" is the first major u.s. media organization to sue open a.i. and microsoft, which of course are behind the popular chat gpt. the times claims millions of its articles were used to train chat bots that now compete with the publication as a news source. the suit doesn't include an exact dollar amount but says the company should be held responsible for "billions of dollars in statutory and actual damages." here's two key quotes from the lawsuit. defendants, the two companies, seek to free ride on the times massive investment in journalism by using it to build substitute of products without permission or payment. it goes on to say there's nothing transformative about using the times content without payment to create products that

substitute for the times and steal audiences away from it. other writers and content creators like comedian sarah silverman and john grisham have raised concerns and sued over a.i. companies using their work to make machine-learning programs smarter. jonathan, we reached out to both companies, open ai and microsoft. we have not heard back from them. jonathan? interesting one to watch. thanks, grady. >> sandra: . >> rich? >> before we go, there's this. las vegas is opening up a pop-up marriage license bureau in the airport. there's the sequence of 1-2-3, 1-2-3. a lot of couples want the special anniversary date. you can apply online and get your documents before heading to baggage claim. i didn't think if there was one
