4:00 pm
three times next year, a little less than 50%, and that's why it could be a negative, for sure in december. liz: happy thanksgiving, ron. thank you so much and to all of you guys out there watching. you have no idea how thankful i am for you and my team. happy thanksgiving. melissa: all right. we've got a new record ahead of the holiday. there you go. we're trying. there we go. okay. the dow is falling into the red. so there's that. but along with the s&p 500, the new record close before the nasdaq. i'm melissa francis. david: i'm david asmand. happy thanksgiving a day early. more on the big market movers but first, even on the day before thanksgiving, we have a very busy hour for you so hang in there. lawmakers better enjoy their thanksgiving because there is a whole lot of work to be done once they're back in dc. the senate is up against a very tight deadline in order to give hard-working americans
4:01 pm
that big tax cut before christmas. and president trump may be at mar-a-lago, but the deal maker in chief is placing calls to key lawmakers trying to get everyone in place for that historic tax reform. also, the most wonderful time of year, we think, anyway, begins with travel nightmares all over across the country. how major cities are embracing now for impact and how new york city is stepping up security less than a month after the deadliest terror attacks since 9/11. among our guests this hour, steve forbes, forbes media chairman and howie kurtz, fox news media analyst. melissa. melissa: all right. back to the markets. ahead of the thanksgiving holiday. nicole petallides is on the floor of the new york stock exchange. nicole, what's the turkey talk down there? >> the turkey talk; right? you have a mixed bag here. you saw the nasdaq record high for the week we've had a win. we're watching the harlem
4:02 pm
globetrotters do some fun tricks here. but i will say that with the nasdaq, in particular, we saw names like bed bath & beyond, trip adviser helping to lead the way. we also have some big stories, broadcom is considering sweetening, and that was originally 103 billion. but now there's talks that they might pressure qualcomm for a little bit more. you see qualcomm up 2%. and then facebook. did you like something that may have been related to the elections. russians, in particular. well, if you were liking a page like that, they'll warn you that you may have liked a page that was in the alleged misinformation campaign around the u.s. presidential election. they want to let you know, and that's it. i love the cheers. you hear the cheers? melissa: oh, yeah. we hear the cheers. i guess i assumed it was for you. it's for you.
4:03 pm
>> yeah. all right. melissa: nicole, thank you. david: is a fun time of the year. in the meantime mounting pressure on senate republicans to get tax cuts. we have just 15 working days left in 2017 when the chamber returns from thanksgiving. so is there enough time for senate leaders to bring reluctant republicans onboard the tax cut train? here now is steve forbes, forbes media chairman. steve, a lot of people looking at that timeline saying gosh, you think of those five to eight republicans who have serious problems with the tax bill as it is now. can they get it done before christmas? >> the answer is, yes, because they know it's suicide if they don't. so concerns like senator johnson of wisconsin overpass through with tax rates with the llcs and the small businesses, they'll fix that and make it more liberal. they'll make sure everyone gets what they need, even if they have to hold their nose to get that bill through because they cannot have a repeat of what they did on health care. they know that's going to doom them all next year. they could lose the senate.
4:04 pm
they could lose the house. they like being in the majority. >> well, one thing that the senate finance committee put into the house bill that i kind of liked was this repeal of obamacare, at least the mandate for obamacare. is there any chance that that might survive this horse trading is going on on? >> i wouldn't count on it. and one of the things that my friend has said instead of calling the repeal of obamacare or the mandate, call it making it voluntarily for people. people like voluntarily. they like choice. so offer it up, and we'll give you a choice instead of repea repeal. david: i mean, there are people like susan collins who have problems with it. that might go away. >> it's sadly going to be a bargaining chip to give face to people like susan collins can say, well, i got that in her mind bad piece out, so i'll vote for this thing. so, yes, i think it's on the chopping block. the president's made it clear he's willing to give it up if it gets the bill through the
4:05 pm
senate. david: yeah, we heard that through his aids. even though it's a watered down tax version from what we originally hoped for, from what you and i originally hoped for, a lot of people out there hoped for. is it enough to really kick start the economy beyond that which we've seen in 2017? >> the answer is if they keep that 20% corporate tax rate and goose up that tax rate for small businesses, the answer is "yes." i just wish on the personal side, they would juice it up some more to make sure that politically and economically they get something that stimulates the economy. david: i'm sure, by the way, you saw goldman sachs this week came out with a very optimistic report about 2018. as good as it has been for the market since the election, 5,000-point gain in the dow. they say could do even better in 2018 if we get that tax cut. and they're just talking about the corporate tax cut as you just did coming down to 20%. do you think they're right on that? >> i think having a lower tax rate like that where you don't have to go through contortions
4:06 pm
to save money on taxes. yes, that will help june up earnings next year. david: they say, by the way, a 14% increase in earnings in 2018 if we get the tax cut. is that reasonable. >> that is reasonable. companies have their act together, and the economy is picking up 3 plus percent for the first time in a decade and deregulation is going ahead. so the answer is if they do something half decent on the tax side, including the personal side of 2018, borrowing a crisis overseas, should be a very nice year. david: by the way, they also say employment rate sometimes the market goes up and the economy is flat. in this case, the economy would be going up with the market, and we might have unemployment down at 3.5%, which we haven't seen since the 1960s, by the way. so that would be great. let me just ask one final request he. the president's been great about deregulation. one reason the market has been doing so well. but some people see this at&t deal putting the kibosh on the
4:07 pm
at&t time warner deal. is could not only stall that deal, but could stall other deals and could eventually stall the market and the economy as a result. what do you think? >> well, it brings politics into something that politics shouldn't be involved with. and i think the parties were quite willing to do any spin-off necessary to make that merger work, including cnn. but it has gotten caught up in the political scene. and so, yeah, that will be -- david: forgive me. it's a contradiction on their policy for net neutrality. there they say, look, if you have a pipeline, you should be able to control the stuff that goes into the pipeline. here, that's a pipeline for the internet, but it's the same for tv. here's a pipeline that at&t has. the biggest cable service. they want to provide content for that pipeline. but the government says, no, they say "yes" on net neutrality and "no" on this. >> well, i'm glad they're going ahead on the net neutrality and the fcc deserves a lot of credit for pushing that through and the
4:08 pm
white house not pulling the rug out from under them. but also on the at&t, that whole thing is politics pure and simple. so don't look for consistency where politics applies. and i hope this is just a one-off because of cnn and that they will -- and other cases deal with them on the merits, rather than a political score. david: never mix consistency with politics. that's a good line of thought. you can take that to the bank. steve, thank you. >> thank you. david: be sure to catch steve forbes and me every saturday, including this saturday coming up 11:00 a.m. eastern time on fox news. melissa: all right. amazon is trying to change whole foods' reputation of costing you your whole paycheck this thanksgiving. it is lowering prices on several turkey day staples in the hopes of attracting more customers and some amazon prime members. hillary vaughan is at a whole foods in playa vista, california. hillary. >> hey, melissa. well, 54 million people have amazon prime accounts. that's about half of all american households.
4:09 pm
so amazon wants to take advantage of that, so they're making their official rewards program for whole foods their annual prime membership, and they're hoping that that brings some of their customers online into their grocery stores. but they're also hoping that while you're shopping at their grocery stores, you're crossing a few items off of your christmas list while you're stocking up for thanksgiving dinners. so they're making a few big changes leading up to the holidays. i want to show you something that you don't normally see off the juice aisle. they have these displays set up with their popular devices, the echo, their new tablets, the fire, and they're hoping that some people will probably put these in their cart along with their turkey. but you're right. they've also made some of their favorite holiday foods cheaper across the board, slashing prices nationwide on holiday staples by about 20%. but there's even bigger savings on top of those reduced prices. now, the bigger idea behind amazon's $13.7 billion buyout
4:10 pm
was not just to get into the grocery store aisle but get brick and mortar locations across america. it's turning into the retail of amazon. but also doubling as a distribution center, melissa. and you're going to be seeing these amazon lockers. you can get your amazon deliveries delivered to your grocery store. you can pick it up while you also pick up your groceries or make returns there too. melissa. melissa: very interesting. i don't know. i love amazon. i love whole foods. they're both terrible at delivering groceries online, so i hope together they can figure it out, hillary. thank you. all right. let the price wars begin. retailers are taking some different approaches to win the retail race against amazon this thanksgiving day weekend. good luck to them. let's bring in the chief research officer of each squared research. it is tough to take on amazon online. i mean, you can get everything there. there's even price comparison. they have different sellers. i mean, how is anybody going
4:11 pm
to compete? >> well, one way that they can compete, melissa, of all things is going back to brick and mortar. so in the past, retailers have been told to pretty much market in the same way that every other retailer is marketing, you know, with signage and discounts and i think what you're seeing now is another -- another take on that dreaded word that i hate, omnichannel. but what they're really doing now is trying to kind of turn its head on marketing. they're trying to have more experiential marketing for these people that are coming in when you see the younger generations going shopping, they want cooking democraciesstrations. they want to feel like they're part of the stores. so for the groceries, you're seeing that, but you're going to start seeing stores almost like destinations to go to in hopes that people will just end up buying a bunch of stuff there. melissa: that's what it would have to be. i'm somebody who i never go into a store anymore because you just don't have the time. so it would have to be a pretty compelling proposition to go in. i don't know.
4:12 pm
at the same time -- so i read this stat. goldman sachs was saying -- where is it? that the holiday quarter accounted for almost 35% for annual revenue of retailers. isn't that bigger than normal? 35% seems like a huge chunk. >> it's usually around 25 to 35%. and i think especially now since i've been covering this for ten years. in the past, you know, when we first started doing this, when i first started doing this, it was right around the recession, and we saw a lot of retailers just trying to off-load their merchandise. they had overbought, and they -- we would see these fire sales going on just to get rid of that merchandise. now things that the economy is getting a little bit bigger, things are starting to equilibrate a little bit and people are going back to the regular discounted prices, the ones that have been baked into the price. melissa: so i also know that new york retail real estate is in a 17-year slump. i mean, you go down madison avenue and fifth avenue, and you see a lot of empty storefronts. and it used to be that, you know, they would put up with
4:13 pm
the price of real estate because they wanted that flagship store. is it like this in other cities? i mean, is it -- are they really leaving a lot of these storefronts? >> well, i'll give you a statistic, melissa. paypal did a study, and they said that 80% of people that are shopping during the holiday are doing this via mobile devices. so when you think about that -- and that's just for a holiday. this is a trend that's going to be going on for the next couple years. if not, couple decades, so that's where we're going towards. so it's not just the 5th avenues and the madison avenues that are getting rid of their storefront properties. but i was just in a mall earlier today, and i was talking to someone who had worked there and off the record, she was part of the administration there in the mall. she was saying that mall -- these big stores are going -- that they're releasing the rent at a record pace and more entertainment is coming in. melissa: yes. that is exactly what's happening. you're seetion the malls there become a destination for daytime entertainment. you can take your kids there.
4:14 pm
there are trampoline places, there are games. it's sort of a go there, and you park, and you do something. but you don't shop. i have no tolerance go into a store. thank you. we appreciate your time. you always love going to stores. david: i never love going to stores. i'm very happy with the online sales. meanwhile, uber facing backlash after it was revealed that a massive data breach was kept under raps for more than a year. ride sharing company even paying out a $100,000 ransom to keep the attacker quiet. imagine. deirdre bolton has the disturbing details. deirdre. >> yeah. david, so uber hacked in 2016, the then ceo travis, he found out a month later he still didn't tell authorities, such as the new york attorney general or the ftc which is what you're supposed to do. you just mention it, he actually just paid off the hackers. so they said they destroyed the data and, obviously, the news stayed out of the
4:15 pm
headlines for at least a year until this week. so travis, you know this. he was replaced this year for many reasons. those of which to be kind he lacked maturity for the ceo role. his critics say he does not have the same sense of ethics as the average person. the new ceo, he started two months ago. he has such a huge cleanup job ahead of him. he found out about the hack and the payoff. he did do what he was supposed to do. he called the fcc, he called the new york ag, he also put out this statement. none of this should have happened. i will not make excuses for it. we are changing the way we do business putting integrity at the core of every decision we make. so the new ceo, he fired the two people responsible for handling that breach. one was a lawyer. one was the head of security. in the meantime, david, just to review quickly what was taken, 50 million riders globally were affected. 7million drivers were hacked. so names, e-mail addresses,
4:16 pm
phone numbers, driver's licenses. they had about 6,000 breaches u.s. only. what was not hacked, according to uber, so we have to trust them on this. no social security cards, credit card information, or trip location details. but numerous ags, including eric schneiderman of new york are opening probes, including our congressman just a few hours ago. this is just the beginning, david. david: yeah. >> and really may hinder the company's prospects for going live. i mean, it's the largest startup in the u.s., with airbnb depending on the valuation, but it's not going to be easy. david: and they say they don't have credit cards, but you don't know if you can take them at their word at this point. >> exactly. david: thank you very much. melissa: exactly. you have no idea whether -- david: they can say one thing. i imagine they can take another. melissa: the travel nightmare begins. millions of americans are preparing to sit in traffic and stand in long security
4:17 pm
lines at the airport. david: fun. melissa: what you need to know before you hit the road. also against veteran journalist charlie rose. the latest fallout from an investigation at cbs news. next, fox news media analyst howie kurtz here to respond. melissa: plus, dramatic new video showing the movement -- showing the moment, pardon me a north korean soldier risked his life to flee to south korea. we are going to show you the heart-stopping moment
4:18 pm
4:19 pm
4:20 pm
melissa: three cbs employees stepping forward accusing charlie rose of inappropriate behavior. this coming after nine other women who worked with the veteran journalist at pbs accused him of sexual misconduct. here now is howard kurtz, media buzz host and fox news
4:21 pm
media analyst. so as the stories keep coming forward, the details are really embarrassing. i mean, they're just really -- i couldn't care is the only word, you know, that comes to mind, and i wonder, you know, what is the damage, what is the impact overall? >> well, yuck about sums it up. and after i read that extraordinary well-documented washington post story talking about the eight women about charlie rose unwanted groping or kissing, i knew he couldn't survive. i didn't know it would happen this quickly. but i think the importance here of these new allegations from the three who worked at cbs, have not been publicly identified is that it brings it into the present this was not years ago, and it brings it into the network that employed him as the morning show cohost, as the 60 minutes correspondent, not just what he did at his nightly pbs talk show. melissa: and that's significant because now as we get to this point in the
4:22 pm
discussion, and it's, you know, this is now become, it's in all industries, all networks. there's nobody that can sort of stand out there and say it's not happening where we are. so as this happens, you begin to ask the other questions of who knew? and what should they have done along the way? i dare say that charlie rose is someone that we heard about in this industry. not unlike a lot of the people who have been possibly accused. he's somebody that there were grumblings about. and even up to the accusations when they were writing the articles. they call the network repeatedly and say here's what to come. do you want to defend yourself? and i wonder in that time, what did cbs do? what was their responsibility? and what about the producer who these accusers claim they went to her repeatedly? >> well, yeah. it's a female producer and who has been in charge of charlie
4:23 pm
rose's 25-year-old talk show on pbs, and she says she failed. she didn't respond to these women's complaints. i don't know what cbs did while the washington post story was being prepared, but it does make you wonder at both networks how that everybody says, oh, women warned each other. it was a open secret how this never leaked out before, and i think part of it has to do with an environment -- changed environment in which some women now feel emboldened to go on the record with allegations because it's difficult to take on somebody who's such an icon in the business like charlie rose. melissa: and another thing that is going on right now that i'm certain that you know about. all journalists know about is this idea that we hear rumblings before it comes out of who reporters are calling around and trying to figure out, you know, who's next, that sort of thing. is that scary? is that right? how do we deal with that? i mean, you're the media reporter. what do you think? >> well, look, anybody who -- anybody man who has worked at any workplace has to reevaluate what he's done in the past. melissa: or woman. >> or woman.
4:24 pm
sure. i think it's important that we not -- that we stick to well-documented cases and not get into speculation about who might be next. and i also think it's important that we make distinctions as a difference between what harvey weinstein did, which is been accused by rape and sexual sault by numerous women, and what charlie rose did, which is inexcuse i believe and his apology didn't even come close to matching the gravity of the allegations. and some of these other allegations where while not excusing it one instance of groping or one-on-one years ago, is not in the same category. i think we need to make those distinctions. melissa: yeah, one thing is that it's easier to make your mind up about a situation when the accuser's willing to come forward and tell their story, and you can judge for yourself sort of how much you believe that person. but that's very hard. that's putting a huge burden on the person who has already been victimized to come forward and tell their story so people can judge. it's very complicated, howard. thank you for being here. we appreciate your time.
4:25 pm
>> good to see you. david: how the mighty have fallen. well, president trump may be in mar-a-lago for thanksgiving. but that does not mean he isn't working on his agenda. an update on the president next shield annuities from brighthouse financial, allow you to take advantage of growth opportunities. with a level of protection in down markets. so you can head into retirement with confidence. brighthouse financial established by metlife.
4:26 pm
4:27 pm
4:28 pm
david: doing hard work from the winter white house. president trump returning to mar-a-lago for thanksgiving with a busy day of meetings and phone calls. our own blake burman is live at the white house. why at the white house? >> i got left behind. it's a vermit's day in dc. happy thanksgiving to you, by the way. david: happy thanksgiving. >> here at the white house, they do like to call these working vacations whenever president trump goes down to mar-a-lago. to that end, the white house made it clear to us early in the morning that the president would be making phone calls on this day. they say to lawmakers to talk about taxes. in fact, the president even sent out a tweet today saying that he would be quote working
4:29 pm
the phones. apparently, there was some sort of movement on the tax front today. potentially, at least, and that is in the form of lisa murkowski, the senator from alaska. she wrote an op-ed in a hometown newspaper in which she says she is in favor of repealing the obamacare individual mandate. that, of course, is a staple of the senate tax plan. however, murkowski's office once again reiterated to us today that she has not officially decided which way she will vote on the senate tax bill. earlier today, the top tax legislature in the house, that, of course, being kevin brady told stuart varney that they feel they're still on the path to getting legislation to the president's desk by the end of the year. >> it all depends upon the senate next week. look, tax reform is not easy. there is a thin margin in the senate. i think they tackled this the right way. but at the end of the day, i don't want to be that senator who defends the status quo, blocks this from occurring. and essentially, keeps this
4:30 pm
economy and family shackled to this mess of a tax code. so i'm credentialed by the direction we're going. we're eager to get to work with the senate to find that common ground, get to the president's desk. >> back to the president here for a second. the white house announcing today that he will have a big meeting here at the white house when he returns next week with the big four. that being the top two leaders on the republican and democratic side. mitch mcconnell and paul ryan, nancy pelosi, and chuck schumer. david, as you know, they've got to figure out a government-spending package by december 8th. those four and the president have to figure out something soon and the white house says that meeting will take place in the oval office on tuesday when the president returns. david: not a lot of time. and, by the way, not a lot of time for you before the baby comes; right? melissa: we're so happy for him. good for you. a texas congressman is apologizing for graphic nude photo of himself. david: of him? melissa: yeah, that is circulating on the internet.
4:31 pm
republican joe admitting the lewd picture is real saying in a statement quote while separated from my second wife prior to the divorce, i had sexual relationships with other mature adult women. each was consensual. i am sorry i let my constituents down. the longtime congressman announced plans for reelection just three weeks ago but is now reconsidering his political future. this is according to the texas dritribune. david: i would think the reconsideration is in order. meanwhile, potential threats increased security in manhattan as the city readies for the macy's thanksgiving parade. how cities all over the u.s. are taking precautions ahead of the holiday weekend. plus, avoiding the headache of holiday driver. we're going to take you live to the center of the mayhem. we've got a live cam for what you need to know before you hit the road. that's next. your insurance company won't replace the full value of your totaled new car. the guy says, "you picked the wrong insurance plan."

4:33 pm

4:35 pm
melissa: turkey day travel, millions of americans heading off for food and family. but not before dealing with the nightmare that is holiday traffic. president trump tweeting just moments ago about the travel saying quote 51 million americans to travel this weekend. highest number in 12 years. aaa, so you know what his source is. traffic and airports are running very smoothly. here now from the road is jeff flock. jeff, is it running very smoothly?
4:36 pm
>> if the president says so, i'm sure it's so. actually, i will say that it is actually running pretty smoothly. the airports have been good. but most of the people, as you know, travel by car of that 51 million the president mentioned 45 million or so go on the roads, and that's up about 3%. it's about nine in ten people actually travel on the roads. so we had difficulty finding traffic jams out here. i think people have been spooling out their travel over longer period of time, so that's a positive. the other thing they're finding and even though the number of travelers is up, the fact is that gas prices are also up. hadn't exactly bothered them. i think the average price now is 2.50. but the most expensive gas in california -- oops. i'm going a little too fast there. right up on top of somebody. the most expensive gas in california, $3.20 a gallon. dc also bad and oregon. and then cheap gas down in the
4:37 pm
south. alabama, i think is your winner overall if you want cheap gas. we're on 2.94 here outside chicago. and i haven't crashed yet. melissa: yeah, that's good. focus on the driving. we love the reporting, but we don't want you to get hurt. looks nice, though. good for you. jeff flock, thank you. >> not a problem. david: we can't see the speedometer, so there's no evidence. david: yeah. david: well, on the eve, taking precaution against the continuing threat of terror attacks. of course, it's a particular concern here in new york. it's been a month since the worst terror attack since 9/11. retired nypd sergeant. so, sergeant, new york is in a unique position because of that awful deadly terror attack a couple of weeks ago and then, of course, isis has put on their website a notice that the thanksgiving day parade here, the macy's thanksgiving day parade would be a perfect target. so how are we preparing in
4:38 pm
new york for it? maybe as a lesson to those outside of new york. >> how are you? yes, i mean, new york city actually has to worry about three different threats; right? we saw what happened on the west side highway when a video-born device was being used. then we have the las vegas type of incident too where we have to be careful of all the hotel rooms and buildings that surround that area. so we're going to see counter snipers out there. you're going to see presidential-type security. and then you have to worry about the explosives like the pressure-cooker bombs. so i mean, this is something where this kind of planning keeps up the chief at night. but i believe they're prepared for it. they're going to have a lot of cops. they're going to see those huge trucks out there with the cement in it and the sand. and what have you to block the -- prevent those vehicle devices. and like i said, you're going to see a lot of security. there will be plain-clothed officers, canines, and they're not letting you bring in stuff. like new year's eve, they're going to have backpacks being
4:39 pm
searched. so security is going to be tight. david: now, since the terror attack, we've gone through a marathon, but that was a big event. this is 3 million people. they're expecting 3 million people along the parade route. but we did see when the marathon was there, i lived very close to where the marathon was run, and they do block of all of the side streets with these big cement trucks or sometimes dump trucks or whatever. that's a big help. that really quadrants off a particular area. >> yes. those garbage trucks out there are going to, you know, you're not going to be able to knock one of those things over. that's the plan there. you might even see spike strips out there on different locations where that could cause possibly enter the location. i think you're going to have a very difficult time if you live in the city to try to get around, so your best bet is either take a subway or walk because i think vehicle traffic is going to be shut down everywhere. it's going to be, like, gridlock times two. david: now, sergeant, as much as we might worry and some
4:40 pm
people complain about things here, i think it's worse overseas in places like belgium, for example, and germany. we now have these international travel warnings and certain countries overseas, including a lot of europe. would you advise against going overseas during the holidays? >> well, right now, i would be very cautious. yes, i mean, i know people have family, and they're going to travel right now. but, you know, we have the big oceans that protect us, so to speak, and, unfortunately, a lot of the guys are right on the doorstep. and we don't have that problem yet. this is a problem that we're trying to avoid. but, yes, you have to be very careful when you're traveling overseas now, and this is for any of the countries that you would normally not think twice of going to. david: and finally, this is something that has been a conflict here. a social conflict here, which is all of the organizations and the protesters against what they see as police violence. some people say it has caused police all over the nation to pull back a little bit because they're worried about a
4:41 pm
lawsuit or something worse happening to them. does that conflict with our ability to really protect the public? >> not necessarily in this aspect of it because of the fact that, you know, their lives are on the line at this point too. they have to be mindful of these truck attacks and the like. so, you know, ordinary police work i think is suffering. but at events like this, i think there's going to be top-notch security. david: well, happy thanksgiving to you and yours as well. we appreciate you coming in, sergeant. thanks a lot. melissa. melissa: breaking news. president trump just tweeting moments ago about the massive search-and-rescue operation to find the argentinean navy submarine that went missing days ago in the south atlantic saying quote i have long given the order to help argentina with the search-and-rescue mission of their missing submarine. 45 people aboard. not much time left. may god be with them and the people of argentina. david: that's worth a prayer as you to bed tonight. meanwhile, the danger escaping

viewers. fox news' benjamin hall is in london with the latest. >> this is incredible footage taken at the most heavily-fortified border in the world. tens of thousands of soldiers on both sides and this young 24-year-old making a mad dash to freedom. it starts just after 3:00 p.m. when a jeep races towards the border. it was once called the bridge of no return where prisoner exchanges once took place before getting stuck in a ditch. respond quickly emerging from various buildings in the jsa and sprint after him. they catch up to him at the border and fire 40 rounds at close range as he runs. he keeps going until he falls on the south korean side. some of the soldiers tried to follow him before quickly turning back. about 40 minutes later, two south korean soldiers crawl up to him and drag him to safety this was only the fourth defection across the dmz in three years. and the first cross-border shooting in more than three decades. and now the u.s. military says north korea's actions have
4:47 pm
violated the armistice agreement. both because they fired across, but also because one of the soldiers physically crossed the border in pursuit. doctors say the 24-year-old was shot five times, but he is awake and talking. he has a few more surgeries to go. but while operating on him, doctors made another discovery. he was riddled with parasites, unlike those they've ever seen before. and doctors say it is more evident of the terrible living conditions in north korea. his doctors say he is now enjoying american movies like transformers and even bruce almighty. one can only imagine how incredibly strange this new world must seen to this very lucky 24-year-old. back to you in new york. melissa: wow. benjamin hall, thank you. david: what a story. a search-and-rescue mission is underway for three people after u.s. navy cargo plane crashed into the pacific oceanside off the coast of japan. eight others have been rescued and are in good condition. we will bring you any developments as we get them here. melissa: a bombshell report

david: new details on that infamous antitrump d dossier paid for by hillary clinton's campaign. the daily caller confirmed that fusion gps made payments to three journalists between june 2016 and february 2017. now, this could be a breakthrough for the house intel committee working to decipher if a firm used the dossier to feed anti-trump
4:52 pm
stories to the media during and after the presidential campaign. here now with more, john decker, fox news radio white house correspondent. he is also an attorney. john, i must say that fox news, our producer pam brown and catherine herridge have also been looking into these details. they're going to come out with more details on all of this. but what we know now is that there were some payments. we don't know exactly which journalists were paid. that is redacted from what we've seen so far. but this is a bombshell, is it not? >> i think it is. i mean, we didn't know that journalists were being paid by fusion gps on exactly the issue that we're talking about. donald trump and russia. and if fusion gps would very much like to keep those redacted documents in that same place because they don't want to reveal the names of those journalists. in fact, they filed a restraining order with the federal district court judge richard leon to keep those names redacted. judge leon has a lot of experience. he's a former law professor of mine. he has a lot of experience on
4:53 pm
congressional investigations. he's former chief council in the iran contrahearings. so he's going to take this under advisement. but i think fusion gps has a high bar that it needs to reach in order to get that restraining order. the reason being they need to convince judge leon that there will be immediate irreparable harm to fusion gps if they don't release those names. i don't think they can do it. david: well, let's take the best, if there is one, best possible scenario for fusion. what could be the reason why they would be paying journalists? i mean, this is a political kind of a smear merchant. that's what they do for their clients. in this case, it was hillary clinton and the dnc. what would be a fair possible good explanation for why they were paying journalists? >> well, fusion gps claims that the reason that they were paying these three journalists was simply for research, and they say they have a commitment with these particular journalists that they will not use that
4:54 pm
research to rely any articles related to that research. but it seems as if these three journalists did just that. they wrote articles related to president trump and his possible alleged connections with russia, so they violated that alleged agreement that they may have had with fusion gps. david: exhume for interrupting, but the worst possible explanation was that fusion was paying journalists to come out with these salacious documents against president trump. so that maybe filled the dnc's motive of spreading back material on trump. but a lot of this came after the election when it looked like they were just trying to do everything they could to demolish the early stages of the presidency. >> that's right. so the payments took place from june of last year through february of this year. so the payments were still continuing after president trump took office. and this issue really took hold around that time in february. you may recall, of course, michael flynn, the former national security adviser
4:55 pm
fired in just the first 24 days since he was on the job. and, of course, he's been called up in this russia investigation. david: very quickly, john. there's also a question about -- fusion never registered as a russian agent. but a lot of people say there's suggestions that they may have been doing work for the russians through intermediaries. there are certain signs of that in these billing records. we see that organizations that were close to the russians, particularly pro putin russians were giving money to fusion as well. >> that's exactly right. and this is problematic for fusion gps. we know now based on these annual-released court documents that the house intel committee is looking into this. there are others going on, david. the senate intel committee and the special council. we don't know whether fusion gps is the target of either of those investigations just yet. david: fascinating stuff. stay tuned, everybody. as they say john decker. thank you. appreciate you being here.
