answers as attempts by federal officials to calm concerns are not working. >> plus, a new twist in the killing of the unitedhealthcare ceo, the insurance company now says the suspect, luigi mangione, wasn't actually insured by united. >> so why did he go after brian thompson? ahead, how this impacts the search for a motive and an admission 18 years too late. the woman who falsely accused duke lacrosse players of rape, igniting a national firestorm, is speaking out for the first time about her lies. we're following these major developing stories and many more, all coming in right here with cnn news central. >> the mystery widens today. >> people in the new york metro area are reporting a growing number of drone sightings in their communities following a wave of mysterious drone appearances in the skies over new jersey.

>> this is sparking significant concern among residents and local and state leaders. the white house and the fbi says there is no evidence that the drones pose a national security threat or have a foreign connection, but that's only adding to the confusion. so far, there are no explanations as to what they are or where they're coming from, or who is launching them. for weeks now, the drones have been spotted over homes, critical infrastructure and sensitive government sites. today, frustrated lawmakers have gone from asking questions to demanding answers new jersey can't become the wild west of drone activity. >> no state can become the wild west of drone activity. i've made this very clear to the fbi, to homeland security and the faa. the agency's chiefly responsible for monitoring drone activity. they must immediately disclose more information to the public. it's totally and completely unacceptable that you have all this drone activity going on that people are seeing with their own eyes. the fact that the federal agency is responsible for briefing the

public have not come forward in a clearer way is unacceptable. there has to be some explanation to the public for all this increased activity, and they must do so now. >> let's discuss these mysterious drones with former fbi supervisory special agent tom adams. he actually helped pioneer the fbi's counter drone program, used to respond to threats from unmanned aircraft. thank you so much for being with us, tom. first off, what do you think is behind these drones? do you think it's more likely to be some kind of concerted surveillance effort? an issue of misidentification or copycats? >> i thank you for having me. >> it's a pleasure to be here. i think we're looking at a few different things. >> first, i do believe that there are probably some legitimate visual drone sightings by alert residents and law enforcement in new jersey. now, what these drones may be doing if they're nefarious or not, we don't know. >> are they are they are not

following the rules and regulations. that's up for debate. >> i think we're probably seeing some copycat drones flying up in the air with all the media attention. >> so we're seeing a combination of that. >> and i do also agree with the doj or the fbi and dhs assessment that some of these blinking lights in the sky are actually crewed aircraft that are navigating the airspace during many operations that i was involved with, as well as investigations into suspected drone sightings at critical infrastructure, it was common for things like planets, believe it or not, low orbit or low earth orbit satellites and and crewed aircraft to to sometimes be misidentified. >> but i think the big point here that we're seeing is that the the vulnerability is being demonstrated, that current federal laws and regulations really limit the types of tools and technologies that owners and operators of critical infrastructure can deploy, as well as state and local law enforcement. >> and so we haven't had any meaningful counter-uas

legislation since 2018. >> so i think we're well past due for lawmakers in congress to to get to work and to shore up some of those vulnerabilities that we have. >> i want you to expand on that. but first, i'm curious about how officials can make the determination that there isn't a public safety threat if they don't actually know whether some of these drones may be nefarious or not, or conducting nefarious activity yeah. >> so you can't look at a drone or a blinking light in the sky and really determine whether it is or is not a threat. i think that some of these suspected sightings, when you look at some of the videos, they look like smaller drones or they potentially look like crewed aircraft that may be landing at nearby airports. i mean, that that area and corridor of the east coast is full of aircraft flying up and down the east coast to major airports and to europe and beyond. so, you know, aside from any specific threat information or. specific

identification of drones or where they may be coming from, i don't think you can really say that they're a threat. so i think there's still a lot of information gathering to be done so we can get some definitive answers. >> got it. so talk to us about these federal laws and regulations that are currently in place that make it more difficult that that hamper efforts to figure out what this is. what specifically do you think needs to change well, there's a couple of big things that need to change. >> there's a senate bill that came out a couple of years ago, senate bill 1631, and it was very promising. it was based on the biden national action plan for canada or us, or largely based on that. there's two big things that i think can really impact this is one is that owners and operators of critical infrastructure, as well as public safety agencies, should be able to start to use a wide variety of drone detection technologies, including some rf detection technologies that would otherwise be illegal for them to use so that they can gather relevant information from those signals to determine where the

pilot is, where the drone is. drone telemetry information, things like that. that's extremely important. the other piece that needs to happen is right now, state and local law enforcement don't have any authorities. when appropriate. and, um, you know, to use they don't have any ability to use any drone defeat technologies. and, you know, the dhs and doj have been deploying these types of technologies hundreds of times since 2018, very successfully. so it's time to start evolving our laws so that we can successfully protect our critical infrastructure. >> so i just want to clarify a point you just made. would you say that you agree with congressman gottheimer, josh gottheimer of new jersey? the soundbite that we just played, he was on cnn this morning talking about local officials being given the authority in certain circumstances to shoot drones out of the sky. would you say that you agree with him? >> i, i well, right now, current federal law. and when i'm speaking of current

federal law, i'm speaking of the preventing emerging threats act of 2018. that law specifically does not provide doj or dhs the authority to delegate that authority to any other entity. so right now, current federal laws are really handcuffing our federal agencies. so that's why we really need to expand our, um, our laws to allow for this type of activity under the right supervision and training tom adams, we have to leave the conversation there. >> thanks so much for the time thanks so much. >> i appreciate it. brianna. >> we do have some breaking news. former house speaker nancy pelosi has been admitted to a hospital in luxembourg after she sustained an injury during an official engagement. that is the announcement that we're being told about. this is according to a statement from her office. cnn's lauren fox is with us now on this story. what do we know about pelosi's condition here? >> yeah, this statement is long. it still does not include a lot of detail about what specifically happened. but in this statement, they say, quote, while traveling with a bipartisan congressional

delegation in luxembourg to mark the 80th anniversary of the battle of the bulge, speaker emerita nancy pelosi sustained an injury during an official engagement and was admitted to the hospital for evaluation. now, it goes on to say that she is continuing to work, and she regrets that she is unable to attend the remainder of the engagements. to honor the courage of our service members. during one of the greatest acts of american heroism in our nation's history. it goes on to say that she looks forward to returning home to the u.s. soon. now, pelosi and other members of congress often go abroad to sort of mark these very important occasions. they also go abroad and bipartisan groups to meet with foreign leaders. this is not an unusual action, but obviously she's continuing to recover. we are still waiting for more detail. and i will note that according to people who are with her, they are hoping that she recovers quickly and sending her their best wishes. >> brianna. certainly we are too. lauren fox, thank you so much. we appreciate the update.

inconsistencies in mangum's account of what happened ultimately led to the charges being dismissed. now, as part of a podcast interview, she's asking for forgiveness in her first public confession. >> i testified falsely against them by saying that they raped me when they didn't, and that was wrong. and i betrayed the trust of a lot of other people who believed in me. um and made up a story that wasn't true because i wanted validation from people and not from god. and that was wrong. when god already loved me for who i was uh, regardless. i didn't need to seek validation from him because i already had validation from him. i just didn't know it um and i heard

my brother's um. and i hope that they can forgive me. and i want them to know that i love them, and they didn't deserve that. and i hope they can forgive me um, and that, um, i hope that they can heal and trust god and know that god loves them and. that god is loving them through me. letting them know that they're valuable and that they didn't deserve that. >> cnn's jean casarez has reported extensively on this case and joins us now live. jean, this confession kind of came out of the blue. how did she finally acknowledge that all of this was a lie?

>> well, she's in prison right now on a murder conviction. and she said that she has turned to god and to the bible. and then this podcast came up and it just became a part of the podcast. but, you know, the reality is, in 2006, when she made these allegations and she was graphic in the allegations, she was specific in the allegations. i was down in durham and these three duke lacrosse players, right, were charged, but they were university students at at duke university and they were on the lacrosse team. and the team had a great future. they were going to have an excellent season and that was canceled. the coach was fired and they were charged with felonies that they could be in prison for the rest of their lives. and from my observation, being down there, everyone supported her. and if you supported innocent until proven guilty, even you didn't talk about it. you kept that

quiet. and so the support went to her. the outrage went to these young men, and that spread across the country and their names and their faces became recognizable everywhere you would call in finnerty, you knew that name. you knew, oh, that's one of the duke lacrosse players. well, a year later, the attorney general exonerated them. and at the time there was a statement, there was a press conference, but then there was a trial of the district attorney, mike nifong, and i was in the courtroom for that trial. and so were these three young men. they were in the courtroom also. and we really heard the truth during that trial. and it was one of the defense teams had a young attorney who had just graduated from law school. this was his first case, basically, and he would stay up at night and read all the forensic dna analysis that they had gotten from doing the tests on crystal mangum and what he found in a

small paragraph embedded within thousands of pages was that the dna of the three duke lacrosse players was not a match to any of the dna of all of the items that they tested, along with crystal mangum herself. and that's what exonerated them. but it was the defense team that found it. and mike nifong, the district attorney, was charged for criminal contempt and for losing his bar license. it was about a week long trial, and he was convicted and he lost his bar license. but the stigma they they so they truly now have an apology because she stuck to her story for all these years. >> and jeanne, what about any potential legal ramifications? could she face any charges for this? >> well, she was never even charged with perjury. number one, she is in prison, so i'm sure any monetary means would be sparse at this point. there were some civil actions of the three young men who are now men

against duke university, against durham, the city of durham, for what the prosecutor's office did, because that was brady material that they should have gotten, that the defense team found. so as far as where this will go at this point, i think this may be it. i don't see an action being filed again because they were exonerated based on that dna evidence, but it's something to watch. and this just came out of the blue. it's amazing. >> jean casarez, thank you so much for that update, brianna. >> now to a cnn exclusive. a former leader of the u.s. coast guard speaking out for the first time about why he withheld from congress an internal report that documented years of rapes and sexual assaults at the coast guard academy. former commandant carl schultz says although he stands by his decision, he kept the report from congress because he did not trust lawmakers to protect the privacy of victims. his comments are in response to the house oversight committee

releasing a memo thursday about the matter. cnn chief investigative correspondent anchor pamela brown has more. khalfan al-kaabi lactaid about sexual assault advocates is talking publicly about why he did it. >> carl schultz, who led the coast guard until 2022, buried an internal investigation known as operation fouled anchor. that secret investigation, which was revealed by cnn, showed dozens of rapes and other sexual abuse allegations had been mishandled by the coast guard. instead of releasing that report to the public and to congress, schultz made the decision to conceal it. but he now tells cnn in an exclusive interview off camera, he did so to protect victims and that he still stands by his decision. now, i want to note that cnn had been asking him for an interview for many months. he is only speaking after congress from the oversight committee released this memo detailing what he told the committee about

concealing this report. now, when cnn first reported on operation fouled anchor last year, it sent shockwaves through the military. dozens of credible allegations of rape were treated as minor misconduct by coast guard command. one of those victims came forward to talk to cnn last year. >> i you know, i often find myself wondering what my my future would have been like. time and time again, the academy and the. institution, the the policies that are in place don't protect their their people. and this is supposed to be a life saving service, but in reality, it it took my life away from me. so it did. it did nothing to save me. when i was asking for help. and it's devastating. >> well, multiple congressional committees and the coast guard investigated the coverup. and

now the house oversight committee released this highly critical memo detailing an interview that it did with schultz. the memo says schultz, quote, personally made the decision to withhold operation fouled anchor from congress. schultz stated, that was a decision by me. i own that exclusively and that schultz acknowledged that he, quote, missed an opportunity for transparency and wished he could have a mulligan. schultz claiming he was misrepresented in that interview. so i asked a member of the house oversight and intelligence committees, democrat representative raja krishnamoorthi of illinois, for his reaction to schultz withholding. >> i think that his reason for withholding that that report, i would say concealing that report from congress, uh, is equally absurd. he said he was trying to protect the victims of the persistent harassment and the rapes in the coast guard academy. i think he was trying to protect the perpetrators. that's what he

was trying to do. he was trying to basically prevent them from facing accountability. and i think he himself needs to be held accountable. >> schultz told cnn that his interview was taken out of context, and that he feared sharing the report would eventually reveal victims identities. >> our thanks to pamela brown for that report. coming up, building a case. detectives armed with search warrants now looking for key evidence against suspected unitedhealthcare killer luigi mangione. we're going to have the latest on the investigation just ahead. can't fool myself. >> it was the most exciting time in the world. >> his life had extremely joyful moments and some really difficult moments. >> you only come across an artist like luther vandross once in a lifetime. >> luther. never too much new year's day on cnn. >> i brought in ensure max protein with 30g of protein. those who tried me felt more energy in just two weeks. >> here, i'll take that. >> ensure max protein 30g

nor was his mother. as new york investigators try to learn why ceo brian thompson specifically was targeted. luigi mangione sits in a state prison in central pennsylvania inside a cell that's roughly 100ft÷. cnn's jason carroll reports that the 26 year old high school valedictorian is mostly keeping to himself. >> luigi mangione is fighting extradition to new york while that happens. >> this is the prison where he's being held. it's the state correctional institution at huntington, the oldest operating state prison in pennsylvania. mangione cell looks much like the one you see here. according to a law enforcement source, his actual cell is 15 by six feet. a department of corrections spokesperson says he's in a single cell and not in solitary confinement. he is not interacting with other inmates at this time. he has a bed, a sink, toilet and a desk with a seat. >> it's always interesting to see, you know, a prison in your

back yard that, , frankly, most people wouldn't be able to pick out of a map or wouldn't know the name of. and now everyone's interested in the type of food he's eating. you know, the cell block that he's in, meals at the facility are served three times a day. >> six, 15, 1040, and supper at 515 tonight on the menu. mangione has a choice between chicken parmesan and a dish called pizza beans. the department of corrections says mangione has taken his meals in his cell and is not interacting with other inmates, adding all inmates are afforded time outside their cells even if they are a higher custody level. mangione case has received a great deal of national attention, so perhaps no surprise he's already known to some inmates that type of notoriety is also an added security concern at a correctional facility. >> any prison, state or federal is a predatory environment, and there could be prisoners who are there for a long time, perhaps looking to get in the

media, get some attention. >> so he's got to learn to enjoy his own company in a little cell with a desk, with a toilet, with a little with a pen, to be able to write with a sink because he will not be around prisoners. as i see it for quite some time, the prison just can't risk it. >> huntington's inmates have made headlines before mangione. why did you do it? cosmo dinardo, who was convicted of murdering four men and burying them on his parents property, served part of his life sentence. there. nick yarris also served time there. yarris was wrongly convicted and sentenced to death in 1982 on rape and murder charges. his sentence overturned in 2003 due to dna evidence. he says his time at huntington are years he will never forget, because he decided to send me to huntington prison, the hardest prison in america at that time. >> what was he going to do before that? >> i don't know, but he made sure i went to a place that they broke. >> you mangione time there could be measured in weeks. as

prosecutors push to have him brought back to new york. >> our thanks to jason carroll for that report. coming up, growing concern from health officials about the risk of drinking raw milk. at least ten illnesses now tied to the product in california alone. we're going to dig into those safety concerns with a medical expert in just moments. >> welcome to times square. that's not in my life. >> cheers that was so embarrassing. >> new year's eve live with anderson and andy. live coverage starts at eight on cnn. streaming live on matte finish ultimate. engineered for the toughest conditions. dry, burnt on stains. old dishwashers, very hard water finish ultimate with cycle sync technology helps deliver the ultimate clean. >> at. are you ready for this? >> are you ready for this new alka-seltzer plus cold or flu

money reserve is one of the most dependable gold distributors in america. >> i'm elizabeth wagmeister in los angeles and this is cnn today, the california department of public health announcing that raw milk is to blame for at least 11 illnesses in the state. just last month, raw milk and cream products from a california based dairy called raw farm were recalled after samples tested positive for bird flu. the u.s.

department of agriculture has now announced that it will begin testing raw milk stored in dairy silos across the country. raw milk is milk that has not undergone pasteurization, which is the process of heating milk to remove disease causing germs, yeasts, molds and other harmful microbes, according to the cdc. joining me is yale associate professor of public health, doctor f perry wilson. doctor wilson, thanks for taking the time to talk with us about this topic that i think increasingly, people are really interested about. first off, just talk to us about the kinds of illnesses that we are seeing in this particular case. >> sure, absolutely. >> and thanks for having me, brianna. >> so, you know, milk inside a cow's udder is actually sterile, where these bacteria are coming from is from the skin of the cow, from the machines that take the milk away and store it from the environment that they're in, which is often not clean. and we see diseases like salmonella, e.coli,

campylobacter, all bacterial diseases that affect the gi tract and in people who are susceptible, like young children, older adults and people with immune compromising conditions. >> some of these can be fatal. >> yeah, i mean, that's pretty serious. i was surprised to learn that experts estimate before pasteurization was adopted, beginning 100 years ago, roughly 25% of all disease outbreaks in the u.s. were actually milk borne. just a staggering number. and yet recently, you're seeing the popularity of raw milk and raw dairy products surging. it's got high profile fans, including president elect trump's choice to lead the department of health and human services, rfk jr.. so what benefits of raw milk have people ignoring those risks that you outlined? >> i mean, to be honest, it's quite baffling. >> you know, pasteurization is one of the greatest public health advances of the past two centuries. >> it's it's probably on the order of benefit that we see

with like, sanitation of water supplies. you know, i mean, this is people were dying of tuberculosis from raw milk in large numbers prior to the advent of pasteurization. now, currently, the risk of infection is still relatively low. most people get away with drinking raw milk like most people get away, you know, driving without a seatbelt in their car. the problem is that sometimes you don't. and when you get in that accident, when you have that infected bottle of milk, you're going to wish it was pasteurized. you're going to wish you're wearing your seatbelt. in terms of benefits, scientifically, there really are none. there's no proven benefit. this seems to be driven a lot by hype, and what we often refer to as the naturalistic fallacy, the idea that because something is somehow more natural, more direct from nature, it is healthier. in this case, this is just really not true. >> so raw farm, for instance, which was the supplier i mentioned there of the milk that's been recalled touts on its website, quote, bioavailable vitamins,

minerals, enzymes, beneficial bacteria, naturally occurring cla and omega three fatty acids. and when people read that, it sounds pretty good. so what do you say to people who they have distrust in the food industry? and certainly there are examples that i think you might look at and say, okay, i understand why you may be a little skeptical, but these are folks who may be won over by a description like that. >> i mean, much of it is pseudoscientific nonsense for, for lack of a better phrase. the truth is milk, all kinds of milk is quite healthy. it does have vitamins and good fatty acids and things like that. the process of pasteurization, all it is, this is not this is not, you know, ultra processing of food and making, you know, nacho chips. this is heating milk to 161°f for 15 minutes. that's all it is. it's enough to kill the bacteria that's in there. you know, some people say, oh, but what about the good bacteria? well, first of all, as i mentioned, the milk that comes out of a cow is sterile. there aren't good

bacteria either. and if you want those probiotic bacteria, we've got great ways to get them. you can take pasteurized milk and people culture that using known bacteria. and they make things like yogurt and other forms of cultured milk products from pasteurized milk. and you get all the benefits of healthy milk plus these probiotics. so there are ways to do this. but, you know, i'm saying that pasteurization is doing anything to decrease the nutritional value of milk is really not based in science. >> so the usda getting involved like this, announcing that it's going to begin testing raw milk stored in dairy silos across the country. is that going to be enough? >> well, to my knowledge, their main focus is on the h5n1 virus, which has infected, you know, millions of cattle across the country. and we're all in the public health field sort of holding our breaths, waiting to see if this will actually cause significant disease in humans.

and so to the extent that humans are consuming raw milk that may be infected with h5n1, that could be a major public health concern. um, some raw milk companies report that they are testing their milk for bacteria, which is which is great if people want to look for that, but they are not required to. and not all farms do that. >> that's a very important note. doctor perry wilson, thanks for being with us. >> hey, tom boris. >> now to some of the other headlines we're watching this hour. a florida woman is accused of threatening her health insurance company using words linked to the killing of the unitedhealthcare ceo, according to an affidavit. brianna boston called blue cross blue shield about a denied claim. and at the end of the call, she said delay denied. oppose you people are next. the words delay denied, oppose were allegedly written on the shell casings found at the scene of brian thompson killing. boston is now charged with threats to conduct a mass shooting or an act of terrorism. she says she does

not own any guns and is not a real threat to anyone. also, dramatic video out of michigan showing a box truck slamming into a fire truck on an icy interstate. the truck hitting two other fire vehicles and a car before rolling over and skidded to a stop. you see it there again. amazingly, the truck driver only suffered minor injuries, and fortunately no one was hurt. and a world renowned cellist was forced to cancel a concert in toronto after canada's largest airline refused to give his priceless cello a seat on the plane. sheku kanneh-mason, famous for playing at prince harry and meghan markle's wedding, says air canada denied the $3 million antique instrument the seat that he purchased for it. he actually purchased a seat for it after nine hours at the airport, he says he had no choice but to call off the show. he says he's now working to reschedule for next year. coming up. 125 year old rivalry is about to see its next big

trash talk and bragging rights, and the pride of hoisting up that shiny commander in chief trophy. but what you also see on the field is a shared culture of hard work, sacrifice and grit. while navy and army face off on saturday, in the future they'll be working together to defend the united states. that bond underlines every part of the game. navy coach brian newberry has said, what you're seeing with us and army is a reflection of developmental programs with players that are selfless, play for each other, play for a team, play for a country. that's what he said to yahoo sports in an interview. and coy wire is with us now from northwest stadium in landover, maryland. and, coy, you played pro ball. what makes this rivalry so different and stand out in an almost mythical way? >> it's, you know, i played in nfl playoff games, played in the rose bowl. and brianna, there's nothing that can match the tradition, the pageantry. this game is all about honor

and respect. and these army and navy players, after the game, they're going to be hugging. they're going to be crying together because they know that they are brothers who have are willing to sacrifice everything for this nation. it's incredible bond. but, brianna, let me just say, on the field on game day, they will be going at it. this is one of the most passionate, heated rivalries in all of sports. and we asked the players and coaches about that. listen. >> i feel like it has something to do with our hatred for each other, you know, because and also the fact that this game is always so close, it's always it's always defined by 1 or 2 mistakes. when you go into service together, after you get to kind of hold that against them and, uh, you know, let them have it, you know, for the rest of your careers. um, for the rest of the jobs in your careers. you know, that really doesn't happen in any other college sports rivalry all right. >> dating back to 1890. brianna, i mentioned that

tradition and pageantry. one of those traditions is the running of the game ball. check this out west army, west point marathon team. they started this 300 mile journey in west point, new york. they were running through the night through the cold. they started on wednesday all the way here to the home of the nfl's washington commanders and landover, maryland and communities. all along the way. they come out, they support them, they cheer them on, and they finish that journey right here at midfield. just moments ago, handing the ball to colonel chad foster, deputy commandant. i asked them what makes this tradition, this game, one of the greatest rivalries in the world, coming in at the end, our captains let me carry the ball in, which was super special. >> so really appreciative for that moment. >> it's amazing to think about the distance that this team ran. you know, about 300 miles, you know, throughout the night across many states. and it's it's impressive. and to receive it down here and to be

the first one that gets to touch the ball here on the field, it's a it's a big deal. all the fire and police stations were stopping by. and the police escorts we have it's it's super inspirational. so we've got people cheering for us on the side of the road. it's it's just all those small moments, sir. they're really incredible. >> army and navy game it is. highlight some of the best brightest young leaders who've committed themselves to a lifetime of service. for all of us, it's a rivalry like no other. brianna. and i know you have a little bit of army ties. husband green beret. so to bring a little bit of balanced journalism to this report, i say go navy, but i know you're probably not wanting to hear all that. >> don't take sides against the family. coy. yeah, i mean, i'm wearing my my army black and gold. i'm ready for the game. i've got my jersey, but i think, you know, even when the teams are doing so. so the rivalry is strong. but let's just be clear about the

football this year. these are these teams are doing great yes. >> we just recently had the first ever overtime game. they always come down to like the final kick it seems. and it's incredible. no matter how good these teams are. army's ranked 22nd in the nation. their win totals on both sides are as high as they've been in quite some time. so this game is about to be off the charts packed, and it's going to be full of emotion. i can't wait to see what they have for us in store. kickoff tomorrow is set for 3 p.m. eastern. >> okay. and tell us a little bit about these jerseys. i'm actually holding up the army jersey. this is it here. okay. here's the camera. and this is the back of it. tell us about every year they do a very cool thing. so tell us what they have going on this year yeah. >> first of all, how did you get your hands on one of those? because we've been trying to get our hands on one of those. i think i know how you have some pretty good ties, but yes,

this is one of the coolest traditions. each year, these teams have custom handmade painted helmets. and and each of the uniforms, they reflect a certain era. and i'm looking for you because i didn't know we were going to do this, but army's. they honor the 101st airborne division. nearly 80 years ago, the screaming eagles, they raced into the town of bastogne and response to the nazi nazi offensive that became known as the battle of the bulge, of course. so they were encircled by nazi forces. they endured weeks of relentless attack in close combat, in the freezing cold weather. and so that's what those uniforms are about, those little flecks of snow that you see on there. it's incredible. and these players and the fans cheering them on, they are able to help that history, that strong history, the shoulders upon which this nation has been built. and honoring those even who've come long before them. it's a truly special army-navy game, one of the best that will ever see in all of sports. >> yeah, and i reluctantly

admit that the navy uniform is also pretty cool, but we're going to see tomorrow who wins. i think i know who it's going to be, but it can be a nail biter, so we'll see. but of course, coy, go army beat navy. we'll see tomorrow and we'll be right back. >> cnn sports coverage of army versus navy is brought to you by the holiday buffet at golden corral. >> man, this looks really delicious. i would just like to say yum yum yum yum yum yum yum yum yum yum yum yum. what is happening? yum yum yum yum yum yum yum yum yum yum yum yum yum yum yum yum. >> just make it stop. >> at fisher investments we may look like other money managers, but we're different. >> you can't be that different. >> we are. we have a team of specialists, not only in

investing, but also in financial and estate planning and more. >> your clients rely on you for all that. >> yes. and as a fiduciary, we always put their interests first. but you still sell commission based products, right? no. we have a simple management fee structured so we do better when our clients do better. huh. >> we're more different than i thought. >> at fisher investments, we're clearly different. are they really going to spend all day streaming college football on directv? >> can you blame them? they've got the biggest rivalries and bowl games. >> speaking of frank, run a slant to the bowl of chips. bobby buttonhook to the salsa. >> what are you going to do, coach prime? >> don't question your coach, man. >> dupixent helps people with asthma breathe better in as little as two weeks. so this is better that two dupixent is an add on treatment for specific types of moderate to severe asthma. it works with your asthma medicine to help improve lung function. dupixent is not for sudden breathing problems and doesn't replace a rescue inhaler. it's proven to help prevent asthma attacks. severe allergic reactions can occur. get help right away for face,
