it's just ichigan. always cool to see the fans gearing up for the big game this saturday. >> andy scholes, i grew up in ann arbor. i with ent to michigan. i've got one thing to say. hail to the viktors. >> the babies are computer. >> they're way computer. andy scholes, thank you. thank you for joining us. i'm whitney wild. "cnn this morning" starts right now. it is a sad night for us in virginia, and it's going to be a really, really sad time tomorrow morning when people wake up and hear this sad news. >> when does it stop? that is the question. the sad news is that the nation

can't mourn one mass shooting before another. here's what happened. a gunman opening fire overnight inside a walmart in chesapeake, virginia. families preparing for thanksgiving now facing funerals instead. this is what we know at this hour. police confirm six people were killed last night inside the store, the shooter is also dead. >> it's not clear if there was any standoff or whether officers fired any shots when they arrived. the gunman's motive still not known at this time. >> a lot of questions remain this morning. we expect to learn hopefully more about the suspect, when police hold a news conference two hours from now. >> there have been 606 mass shootings this year alone. straight to brian todd at the scene for us in chesapeake, virginia. hello to you, what are you learning? >> just a short time ago we got word from the city of chesapeake

that a total of 7 people are dead in the shooting. including the shooter himself. our affiliate cites a hospital spokesman saying five people are being treated for injury in norfolk, virginia, an update on their conditions was not immediate available. wtkr also spoke to a relative of a survivor of the shooting. here what's they said. >> his wife received a phone call about 10:18 saying he had been shot. at the time, that's all that we knew, he had been shot. we didn't know how. and what was really strange to us is he clocks in at 10:00. so he hadn't even been there ten minutes. she was shot in the side. he is up talking, breathing. they don't have a lot of details right now. >> so again, at least six people

dead, the shooter is also dead. at least five people injured in the attack. we're told by a law enforcement source, this is cnn's john miller obtaining this information. that either a current or former employee walked into a break room where people worked and opened fire. that person then turned the gun on himself and isdeceased. what's what we know at this time. >> not much known. you got that information from john miller, do we know -- i know there's a press conference in the coming hours here, we'll carry that live for you. do you have any idea where this investigation is going? any idea of a motive, brian? >> reporter: that's what we've got to piece together and what officials have got to go through the evidence and try to find. we need to know who this person was. was it a disgruntled employee, a conflict at work? those are answers we hope to get in the coming hours. overnight it took them several hours just to comb through the store behind me.

it's a large walmart and police officials say they couldn't give us information on the number of people dead and injured for several hours because they had to go through the store row by row, rows of merchandise, counters, things like that to see if anyone was hiding to make sure they could account for everyone. they told us a short time ago, they rendered the building safe, but it took several hours to process the scene. the key question is motive. was there a conflict inside the walmart between employees or maybe a former employee. >> the shooting in virginia is coming days after five people were gunned down in colorado springs. the suspected shooter there is going to make an initial court appearance today as we're learning more about his troubled past. rosa flores is live in colorado springs for cnn this morning. i know we're getting a fuller

picture about the suspect. what have you learned? >> reporter: we know that he is waking up this morning in the jail that you see behind me. anderson lee aldrich, will be facing a judge at 11:30 local time. he is being held without bond. no formal charges have been filed. but the district attorney telling cnn that he is considering hate crime charges just based on the facts. here's what's going to happen at 11:30. we are expecting for the suspect to be informed of constitutional rights, then the charges will be read in open court. those charges could include five counts of first degree murder and five counts of hate crime. now in open court, the suspect will be addressed by the pronouns they and them, this is according to court documents which show that the suspect identifies as nonbinary. as you mentioned, this is, as we learn more about his chaotic

past, we know that their father was a porn star, an mma fighter, they were raised by their grandmother. while their mother was dealing with criminal situations in her own life. and so, there's a lot of other complications. there's bullying involved and also changing of names. we don't know exactly how all of that is going to be influencing what is happening in court today or how it's going to impact this case. but again, it's just a little bit more background on the suspect. kaitlan. >> a lot of questions still remain. our thoughts are with those families getting ready for thanksgiving without their loved ones. rosa, thank you for that update. we are also following a deadly escalation of violence in jerusalem, where police say a pair of explosions are expected to be a coordinated terror attack on jerusalem. we're live at the scene of one

of the explosion. what can you tell us? >> reporter: this is the scene of the first of two explosions. this is a busy bus station along one of the main arteries that takes you out of jerusalem and towards tel-aviv. police say just after 7:00 a.m. a bomb exploded at this bus station and 30 minutes later another explosion at a bus station just down the hill. police say one person was killed, a 16-year-old at this location. and more than 19 others have been injured. israeli police are calling this a coordinated terrorist attack. they said the bags were placed here and then detonated remotely. we've seen police collecting evidence. part of the evidence was what looked like nails and screws and ball bearings. you can see the impact of this blast. i'll show you here. this is one of the signs for the bus station, you can see all of those impact markings, police believe there were nails, ball bearings, and screws and what's

that emts have told us are part of the injuries they're seeing. this has been a deadly and violent year for israelis and palestinians but bombs like this have not been seen in jerusalem for years. and there's a big fear that these types of bombs we may be seeing more of them coming forward and there may be more copy cat explosions. so far no militant group has taken credit. we know the israeli police are still searching for the suspect. the israeli prime minister is at this moment holding a security assessment of the situation. >> devastating to see. hadas thank you for being there. watch this next video. a u.s. military plane forced to return to chicago's airport because of bird strikes. you can see this video, it captures a moment the plane

struck the birds in midair. the head of the national guard general daniel hockenson was on board the plane. the plane is part of a fleet that flies out of joint base andrews in maryland to support government missions worldwide. it landed safely at midway, no injuries were reported. it is the busiest travel day of the year. many of you may be waiting in line soon and long lines at airports. more than 50 million people ready to head out to the holiday destinations, the skies busier than ever, what about the roads, get to pete muntien. you're always at the airport but not today. you're in front of the interstate. >> reporter: so many more people drive for thanksgiving compared to fly. although we focus on flying because it's one of the busiest days there.

2.5 million people expected to pass through tsa checkpoints at airports nationwide. but today will likely be the busiest day for driving since covid hit. 48.7 million people anticipated to drive 50 miles or mer over the next ten days. today the busiest day not far from 2019 before the pandemic when triple a saw 49.9 million people hit the road. all of this as gas prices are the highest they have ever been for a thanksgiving rush. $3.61 is the national average, it was $3.40 this time last year. gas prices are going down but they are still up compared to a year ago. listen to drivers who tell us this is really not factoring in all that much of their decision and they're still wanting to get out for the holiday. >> people are traveling more. and they're tired of being at

home. but still again, it's the prices. the reason why a lot of people are deciding to stay at home. but that's not stopping a lot of people either. >> i know there's definitely that extra headache or stress added to being on the road during this time. i think it's a beautiful thing people are starting to get back out. >> reporter: the worst time to drive today, this is the news you can use part. between 11:00 a.m. and 8:00 p.m., according to triple a. if you can get an "early start," do it you may want to put it off until after dinner tonight, try to miss the peak time, atlanta, chicago, l.a., new york, congestion there, twice the norm during the peak times today. it's a sea of red on the traffic map here in d.c. last night. i can see 95 building up already traffic wise. we 'll see, the rush is just

beginning. >> long books on tape is what people need. >> reporter: that's right. one day, four different courtrooms for cases involving former president trump, show casing the legal challenges he's facing one week after announced he is going to be running for president in 2024. first, the maybe the biggest, the supreme court cleared the way for the irs to release trump's tax returns to a democratic house committee. trump fought for years to not release his irs tax returns breaking with the precedence. >> i'm under a routine audit and it'll be released. >> i've been audited i think for 15 straight years. when the audit is done, i'll release them. as soon as my routine audit is finished i'll release my returns. i'd be proud to. i would love to give them but i'm not going to do it while i'm under audit, it's simple.

>> democrats first sought his tax returns back in 2019. the irs under the trump administration, resisted turning them over. this is what trump's acting chief of staff at the time said. >> to be clear, you believe democrats will never see the president's tax returns. >> no, never. nor should they. that's an issue that was litigated during the election. voters knew the president could have given his tax returns, knew he didn't and elected him anyway. >> the courts have made a different decision and now the treasury department said it will comply. in new york a rare admission in the criminal fraud trial against trump's companies. the long-time account ant takin the stand. also in georgia senator lindsey graham did appear before that

grand jury that is investigating efforts to overturn the 2020 election. prosecutors there getting to the bottom of graham's calls to those election officials you'll remember in georgia, including to the georgia secretary of state. graham denied there was anything nefarious saying it was all legislatively related. but brad raffensperger said graham wanted to help trump by making those calls. listen. >> just an implication that look hard and see how many ballots you could throw it. finally in a second defeat for trump a panel of appeals court judges not buying trump's argument that the government violated his rights when they searched mar-a-lago for classified documents. they they agree that a special master is not necessary. paula reid has more on the supreme court's move on trump's taxes. paula, good morning. this is a long time coming, isn't it?

>> reporter: indeed. i've been covering the former president's legal problems for nearly a decade now. this is the biggest lost in recent memory and in just two sentences, the supreme court put an end to his years long effort to shield his tax returns from lawmakers. now the treasury department will hand over six years to the house ways and means committee immediately. ending a lengthy court battle that began three years ago when the committee began trying to get the records. they argued they needed the information in his tax returns to meaningful evaluate whether the irs is able to enforce the nation's tax laws against a president like trump who has complex business holdings. trump's attorneys argued that turning over the tax returns would be a breach of the separation of powers and said the request is politically motivated. and they have really fought to try to shield these documents. the supreme court was trump's last resort after he lost his

case at the lower courts. the appeals court was unanimous that the request for returns was constitutional. now the supreme court, which includes three trump appointees has cleared the way for the release of the records. and there were no public dissents. it's possible there was disagreement behind the scenes but nothing noted in the decision itself. it's unclear exactly when the committee will get these records but they are prevented by law from making them public. but as we know, the hill is one of the leakiest places in washington and it's possible they could get out. >> leaky and washington? >> that's an understatement. >> thank you very much. it's perhaps the biggest upset in the world cup history. we'll take you live to saudi arabia where a holiday has just been declared there. i'm sure, right? >> i'm sure. also why kevin mccarthy may have a major math problem in his race to be speaker.

this -- welcome back to "cnn this morning" -- a lot of celebrities and folks using a diabetes drug to lose weight and now there's a shortage of this. we around the table have been talking about this a lot. it seems like it works well and

fast for weight loss, but now there's not enough for it for what it's intended for. >> yeah. thanks for having me. so yeah, there's currently a shortage of both ozempic, it's a drug that the fda has approved for treating people with diabetes, but increasingly you're seeing people turn to it for the purpose of weight loss. so it's really fascinating. >> every time you see someone who has lost weight or whatever, i did the intermittent fasting and lost weight. people it's like a novelty now, are you on the shot? are you doing the shot? >> it's a shot in your stomach, right? >> it's a shot like you do a diabetes drug. so people automatically assume and think it's okay like going to the store and buying it. >> yeah. so it's an injectable medication. it can go in your stomach,

thigh, arm. and yeah it's become sort of increasingly popular. there's a lot of chatter about it on social media. you have celebrities saying they've used it. there was an interesting report in variety about essentially there are encrypted group chats of actors and people in hollywood talking about it. >> it's not unusual to use a drug if it's off label or not for explicit use, that happens with doctors a lot. but the problem with the shortage and having the celebrities use it and talk about it. the issue is if you have diabetes and you need access to the medication and you can't get it. so what's the solution there? >> well, i will say there are two issues. the shortage is definitely something that is really impacting people. but also the medication hasn't been studied in people beyond the groups that it's approved for. so for someone who doesn't meet

the bmi criteria or other fda criteria, we don't know if it's safe or not. there are side effects. this is not medication that i would consider taking super lightly. there are reports of people with extreme nausea, fatigue, vomiting. one doctor told me that patients get such intense constipation they go to the er. >> pan korea tie tis, right? >> yes. i do want to stress there are a number of issues surrounding this drug but the patients who need the medication and can't get it, the unfortunate truth is that medication shortages are not super rare in this country. the fda lists a dozen medications in shortage. so doctors and patients are doing their best and there's not really a one size fits all

solution. the manufacturers working on it. one doctor described it to me that she's in a hamster wheel trying to get her patients the care they need. >> there's the have and the have no nots. >> it's expensive if you don't have insurance. >> people of means are losing the drug to lose weight and in the meantime probably people struggling to afford their medication. >> it's like 800 bucks a shot, i think. >> 800 or a thousand. >> yeah. and i was also going to say, the thing about these drugs, they're not meant to be a quick fix. you're not supposed to inject yourself with these drugs for two weeks, lose 15 pounds, go off them and keep the weight. if you are having that expense and paying out of pocket for

these drugs what happens is you're supposed to stay on them long term, essentially indefinitely, otherwise you run the risk of gaining the weight back. a number of issues surrounding this. >> i don't feel good about this. >> thank you, dani, appreciate it. >> happy thanksgiving. >> thank you. also this morning, the road to 218 is proving to be a bumpy one for kevin mccarthy. we'll talk about what is complicating his path to the speakership and why it may get more complicated in the coming days. >> i read that wrong, the road to 2018? >> we're going back in time. look at this video showing a waitress holding onto the hood of a speeding car after a group of teenagers dine and dash. we'll explain what's behind this. >> wow.

first. >> if secretary mayor kas does not resign, house republicans will investigate every order, every action, and every failure to determine whether we can begin impeachment inquiry. >> we have a plan, we've been putting that forward. mccarthy has no plan. the republican party has no plan. they do nothing except do political stunts. >> we should note the dhs spokesman said mayorkas has no plan to resign. we've been looking at the numbers for kevin mccarthy wand it's not clear cut what the path looks lie. what's the conversation on capitol hill right now? >> reporter: it's all about the numbers game. you as you mentioned he needs 218 votes to be speaker but kevin mccarthy is predicting he

has 222 republicans total in the house. which doing the math he can only afford to lose four republicans in the speakers race. however a fifth republican came out and said he's going to oppose mccarthy on the floor vote in january. take a listen. >> a growing number of us who have lost faith that mccarthy can do the job. the speaker is the most important position at this time in this country. >> reporter: so what that means kaitlan is kevin mccarthy is going to have to convince one of those members to change their minds or convince to not show up to the vote which would lower the number he needs to be speaker and kevin mccarthy better hope there's not more republicans where those came from. >> we know there's an effort to put more republicans on the list. has mccarthy responded to this? anyone's name suggested to takeover if he doesn't secure the votes to be speaker?

>> no one would outright challenge him but steve scalise, jim banks. none of those people would challenge kevin mccarthy. kevin mccarthy himself has been meeting privately with some of his critics. he's been making phone calls. he has not cut any deals just yet. i expect those to come in the coming weeks. but he's trying to publically show his critics what sort of leader he would be. he was on the southern border yesterday threatening secretary mayorkas with impeachment. clearly those comments were designed to win over critics. >> it is going to be an interesting january. we have a few weeks ahead. >> you know who i think we should bring in talk about this? cnn political commentator and host of "smerconish" luckily his name is michael smerconish.

good morning, michael. what's going on with kevin mccarthy? does he have the votes and what he did at the border, is it a stunt? should they be talking more about practical, real solutions to the immigration crisis? >> don, i think it's all related. i think the reason he's on the border is because of this issue. his desire to be the next speaker of the house. i think that kevin mccarthy has the worst odds of being the next house speaker except for all the other republicans because you can't beat somebody with nobody. so when the question becomes if not kevin mccarthy, who? there's really no name you can fill in the blank that you'll be able to herd a sufficient number of cats to get to the 218 or whatever the number might be because they vote by surname, it could be 216. i don't see anyone who could deny him. >> you say he has the worst odds but think he's going to be speaker? >> it's my weak attempt at a

pun. he has the worst odds except for all the others because i don't see anybody with better odds than he does. >> okay. >> it's interesting. i want to talk about something that is fascinating to me. this is something that former secretary of state mike pompeo said yesterday. he was talking -- obviously he is someone considered to be potentially a 2024 candidate. and he was asked about who the most dangerous person in the world is is and michael he said the most dangerous person is randy winegarden, obviously he's referring to the covid practices put in place, she was criticized for that. is she the most dangerous person in the world? >> how about the guy who invaded ukraine or the one who keeps firing rockets in north korea? i thought it was confirmation of pompeo's strong desire to run

for the presidency. because what's he doing? he's appealing to the gop base on matters of parenting, education. look at glen youngkin's playbook in virginia two years ago. nothing fires up the base, maybe with the exception of the border, like the education issues. so a curious choice of randi weingarten, really? i had to go back and read the question, is it is most threatening person in the world and he had to say her. ridiculous. >> you have these people, why waste money and time and the american people's time. there's no path to the presidency for mike pompeo. >> we don't know that. >> come on. let's be real. michael? >> well, if it -- okay. no, i have a response. i always have a response. it's trump and desantis and then it's that whole stage full of individuals who showed up in las vegas last week. do any of them have breakout

potential? it's hard to say. it's hard to see at this moment because i get it, don. they're all kind of on that same playing surface. but if something is problematic for trump, an indictment or some other issue and desantis decides not to go, it could be any of them. >> michael, next time i want to talk to you about what pompeo said about bringing back schedule f, we're out of time but that's a big deal. michael, thank you. we'll all watch you saturday, 9:00 a.m. >> happy turkey to you, sir. >> see you, friend. >> bye-bye. back to just the terrible breaking news overnight and our coverage of another mass shooting in america. leaving six murdered at a virginia walmart. we're live on the scene and speaking to a state senator from virginia next. e the same. but there is one van equipped to handle them all.

he went in at 10:00 p.m. tonight and we received a phone call -- well, his wife received a phone call about 10:18 saying that he had been shot. what was really strange to us is that he clocks in at 10:00. so he hadn't even been there ten minutes. >> those are people affected by a shooting, this is "cnn this morning." for the second time in four days america sees another mass shooting a gunman opening fire last night inside a walmart in chesapeake, virginia. this is what we know at this hour. police confirm six people were killed, the shooter is also dead. >> it's not clear at this hour whether there was any sort of standoff or whether officers fired shots when they arrived and a motive is still not known. >> we'll hopefully learn more about that motive, the suspect, what happened inside walmart last night as police are set t
