it holds. [closing bell rings] a new all-time record for the dow jones. there goes the dow. i will throw had hot potato to melissa. melissa: we'll take it. major averages off the low for the session, the company revealed 737 max should return to commercial service in january. we're watching it here, the dow fighting for gains. looks like it will close up about 11 points. that is going back and forth settling out in the final minutes. any gain in the index would mark a new record close. melissa francis, happy monday. connell: happy veterans day. i'm connell mcshane. welcome to "after the bell." we'll give it a minute. s&p and nasdaq still in the red. still hovering near record territory. here is what is new at this hour.

honoring the brave men and women who served our country in the armed forces, president trump becoming the first american president to attend new york city's veterans day parade. how the white house and businesses across the country are working to give back to our nation's heroes. anger and rage on the streets of hong kong. a pro-democracy protester shot at close range by police. a counterprotester was set on fire. the latest response what is an escalating crisis. the force is officially entering the streaming wars. what you need to know ahead of the launch of disney plus which comes our way tomorrow. melissa: jackie deangelis on the floor. new york stock exchange, blake burman at white house and greg palkot in london. susan li is in the newsroom. wow, that is lot of firepower. we'll start with jackie. >> appears another record for the dow jones, finishing up

12,693. dow started out in the red this morning but a turnaround from boeing definitely helped. shares up almost 5% during the session today. the company saying the 737 max jet will be back in the area in january. now remember, its last earnings it said it was expecting regulators to give that approval in the fourth quarter, presumably the faa. but that 737 has been grounded since the spring. the company is focusing not only on safety, but of course on getting this back is up in the air for profitability as well. while commercial duties could resume in january, deliveries could start resuming in december. the company is saying that production could rise for the 737 max jet from 42 to 57 by the end of 2020. so that is above expectations. meantime, take a look at shares of southwest because "the wall street journal" is reporting that the company is flying 38 jets lack final safety verification. the stock just over the flat line but in the red a little

while ago and some of these are boeing 737s, not the max jet, old 737s much because of those fatal crashes, safety regulations having the proper paperwork in place, this is a very sensitive issue right now. investors will be watching it. finally i want to finish with shares of walgreen's, much higher on the day as well. reports that kkr is approaching walgreens boots about a deal to go private. bloomberg reporting that a final offer has been made but that is never a guarranty when it comes to a deal like this. baron's said it would be a difficult transaction aft large amount of equity would be needed. it may take 75 to $80 a share to get approval. you see the stock is $62 a share. back to you. connell: thank you, jackie. a police officer firing at a pro-democracy protester while a

man was set on fire. fox's greg palkot haas been to hong kong number of times to cover these protests. he is live in the london newsroom with the latest today. greg? reporter: connell, you're right we've been watching this on the ground throughout this year. it has been nasty in hong kong but according to some accounts it has never been worse today, the violence, the trouble, the unrest. one incident as you mentioned a policeman wrestled with a protester, when another approached him, he shot in the stomach, point-blank range. this man is in critical condition. another incident, a man reportedly got angry with the protesters who then doused him with some kind of a flammable fluid, they set him on fire. he is also in serious condition. all as part of a new wave of clashes across hong kong. this pitting pro-democracy protesters against the police. molotov cocktails, tear gas, pepper spray being used on this work day in hong kong. a young man in a protest last week who fell and injured

himself died and, that triggered these protests today. but again it just got worse and worse, connell. for her part the embattled beijing backed hong kong chief executive carrie lamb said she would not give in to the demands of protesters, that officials would spare no expense to sop the protest. planned for hong kong later this month a planned local election that was seen as a move towards democracy that might help ease tensions there. there is talk they might have to be canceled out. that means, connell, more trouble. back to you. connell: all right, greg. melissa: apple card under fire for possible gender discrimination. let's go to kristina partsinevelos for the details on this one. gender discrimination, huh, kristine? >> they're debating whether this credit card, the one on your screen could be sexist. that started with a well-known entrepreneur, tech guru, david hannson. what he dade, he went on and he

talked about the fact both he and his wife applied for this credit card but he received a credit limit 20 times higher than his wife. cofounder of apple, steve wozniak himself, tweet out same thing, happened to us. i got 10 times the credit limit. we have no separate bank accounts or separate assets. hard to get a human for a correction. this is big tech in 2019. what he means by big tech in 2019. the algorithms becoming more prevail lent or trend with a lot of large corporations. they're arguing that algorithms are discriminating against gender. that would be a female gender in this case. goldman sachs does the mechanics of card, apple markets the card, it's a goldman sachs mastercard. they said, they are only evaluating applicants independently. that is according to income worthiness. i even texted a apple tex. they said same thing.

credit history, income, credit score. they're taking this matter serious enough because new york regulators are now investigating. they reached out to goldman sachs to investigate the matter to see if these algorithms are actually disdiscriminating against gender. just a week ago, just a week ago, regulators are looking into united health because potentially the algorithms could be biased against race. so this is something that we need to consider going forward as more and more companies cut costs in order to, and start using algorithms to make big decisions coming to hiring, health care and financial services in this case. to bring it full circle, david hannson's wife got a higher credit limit. guys. melissa: kristina. connell: thank you. connell: interesting. next step here, the chinese e-commerce giant alibaba revealing the sales for its annual singles' day the world's largest 24 hour shopping event. they broke another world record. susan li in the newsroom for

details. >> seems easy. 24 hours, selling $38 billion. alibaba bringing in celebrities. taylor swift was performing in china. kim kardashian doing live stream of the products that she had on offer. at the end of it, after 24 hours, $38 billion in sales. compared to prime day, 7.1 billion this year. that was over two days, mind you. alibaba telling us iconic american brands did very well in the 24 hours. that includes the likes of apple, nike, l'oreal as well. some beauty brands selling a lot of goods in 24 hours. there was a bit of concern heading into singles' day. we're in the midst after u.s. china trade war and some thought there would be a boycott of american brands. not the case. but we do have a slowing chinese economy. that is not hurting the consumer as you saw with record numbers of sales.

we we saw the worst sales, gdp growth in china 38 years. there is still a lot to spend in chinese wallets. guys? melissa: thank you. the latest on the democratic impeachment inquiry of president trump. blake. reporter: as the first public hearings will take place here in couple days time. on the guest list that will be up on capitol hill includes bill taylor. currently the top diplomat for the u.s. in ukraine. also george kent, currently with the state department. they will be testifying before the cameras on wednesday. taylor has already gone on record saying that ukraine's security assistance was tied to announcement from ukraine on corruption investigations which would have included burisma, a natural gas company which hunter biden sat on the board. his public hearing will be one closely watched. on friday the public hearing begins for the former u.s. ambassador to ukraine, marie

yovanovitch. three of those this week. over the week republicans submitted a list who they would like to question as part of the inquiry and that includes hunter biden and the whistleblower. house intelligence committee chairman adam schiff signaled neither will happen. the opinions who will testify is largely falling down party lines. >> i'm curious how someone who down have any experience in ukraine, nor experience in a natural gas company becomes on board after natural gas company in ukraine. >> we want to stay focused on the ukraine call. having hunter biden come in is unrelated to the ukraine call. that becomes irrelevant. reporter: as it relates to president trump, that the president is up by you guys. you will speak before the new york economic club. melissa: we'll look forward to it, blake, thank you. connell: an explosive report out of the united nations we'll talk

about. nuclear watchdog is taking major steps on the threat to enrich uranium. what will this be for stability in the middle east? how might the u.s. respond? it is all coming up. melissa: plus the ceo of america's biggest bank is making a bold prediction about the state of the economy. we'll talk to former arkansas governor mike huckabee, what this means for president trump's 2020 chances. that is next. connell: preparing for a deep freeze. tens of millions of americans bracing forage arctic blast forecasters say has the potential to break more than 300 records. melissa: wow. connell: we've counted them. we'll be right back. ♪.

melissa: new record close for the dow. it is the third in a row and jamie dimon is confident in the strength of the economy. take a listen. >> the consumer which is 70% of the u.s. economy is quite strong. confidence is very high, their balance sheet is in great shape. the strength of the american consumer driving the american economy and global economy. this is the most prosperous economy the world has ever seen. it will be a very prosperous economy for the next 100 years. melissa: here is mike huckabee, former arkansas governor. he is also a fox news contributor t was interesting to hear jamie dimon talk about how strong the consumer is, how strong the balance sheet is,

number one, he is a democrat. number two, he has a bird's-eye view into all of our bank accounts. he knows what you have in your bank account, what your mortgage payment is, what your credit card balance is. he knows. >> he e-mailed to me detailed account of your particular bank account. you're in food shape, melissa. melissa: thank you,. >> he said we have nothing to worry about. i'm glad he said we don't have anything to worry about for 100 years. gives me comfort, 90, however long i last we should. this is great news for the president and people can impeach, people go vote, they ask themselves am i better off than four years ago, the answer will be resounding yes. most families have four to $5000 more money because of the tax cuts and because of the economic policies than they had before

this president took office. it is hard to argue with that. melissa: he is someone who has no motivation to be helpful to the president at all. >> no. not at all. melissa: in the sense he is a democrat. also the president took major shots at him. they highlighted this in the interview but when he said, you know, he had thought very briefly about thinking about running, and when that was he said i can win, tougher, whatever it was that he said, trump tweeted back at him, and smacked him down. for other people they have become enemies with the president after they said that if anything, he is not a friend of the president, so he wouldn't be talking up the economy if it weren't true, don't you think? or do you see something i don't? >> no i think you have hit it on the head but he is a smart guy. jamie dimon didn't get where he is by being stupid. maybe going after trump was not the smartest thing he had done, if he looked around that doesn't end well for anybody.

the bottom line, he is looking at this a fair, objective observer of the economy. he is as good as it is looking at the economy for many reasons you cited earlier. if he is going to be honest to his customers and to his investors which he has to do -- >> by law. >> what else can he say? melissa: yeah. >> i think that is important. melissa: that is a great point, some people talking about the economy, they're talking politics for him. he will get in legal trouble if he says something that isn't a accurately reflected. >> yep. melissa: let me bring this to you. he was touching on the wage gap in america. here is what he said on that front. >> i think it's a huge problem. i think the wealthier have gained too much in many way. >> executive pay, last year you were paid $31 million. too high? >> the board sets mine. i have nothing to do with it. >> well you could return some of it? >> i could. is that going to solve any of those problems? >> i don't know. melissa: i loved those answers. i loved those answers. he wasn't going to back down. he said, first of all he is

responsible for so much job creation, wealth creation, you know, to compare his salary to the workers, the way she was doing, you know, it is kind of apples and oranges. look, i didn't have anything to do with it. the board pays me. why would i give it back, what would that help. what do you think? >> a lot like when some of the billionaire are asked about the tax situation, they say we ought to pay more, my answer, hey, write a check. there is nothing in the law that says you can't pay more than you're currently paying. if jamie dimon wants to give back some of his salary. if he wants to spread it out to employees he can certainly do that. a little disingenuous to act like i'm a moral giant, i think pay gap is too big, on the other hand say i'm part of the pay gap but i'm not doing anything about it. it comes down to governance of the many corporations. there is too much cross-pollination between boards. he put as buddy on his board. he gets on his buddy's board. they make sure they take good

care of each other. to the extent they don't look after rewarding employees that made them that rich in the first place. i have great admiration for companies with a great water, great year, they give some of that to the employees. what great incentive for employees to do it again and what a smart way to run a company. melissa: he has a lot of people that want to work there and he is the only guy still standing as head of one of the banks that went through the financial crisis. so he must be doing something right vis-a-vis his employees? >> if he feels really guilty how much he makes i will give him my personal address and wiring instructions. he can send it to me. i won't feel guilty at all for what he sends. melissa: reason why they got into the conversation of course because elizabeth warren, you know, pointed him out and talked about the wealth gap and talked about people being paid way too much and he was saying, i don't think that vilifying rich people doesn't get us anywhere.

i mean there is something to the argument that someone who has worked hard, has a amass ad fortune that is what we aspire too. you don't want to take away theirs, you want to grow yours. >> exactly. how much he makes affects me none whatsoever. the bigger issue we need to make sure that we don't buy this nonsense we want the government to start limiting people's paychecks. >> yes. >> boy, oh, boy, would that be a mistake. that is what elizabeth warren and bernie sanders some of the democrats want to do. they want the government to step in to start regulating how much a company can pay. if company ultimately overpays customers, employees, they will do their own damage to the company. the smart play, as i said before, when a company shares its wealth with the employees, for that matter even with the customers, that is a good way to stay in business for the long term, to continue to be profitable. i say it again, please, dear god, don't let the government start regulating how much

companies pay their people. melissa: we don't want them involved. governor huckabee, thank you. >> good to talk to you, melissa. thanks. connell: good discussion. celebrating those that served our country, we're taking you to fox square in a moment outside of our studios here in new york, showcasing some of the biggest veteran-owned businesses in america. certainly stay tuned for that. money can't buy happiness but certainly can't buy one election. how amazon's big spending on seattle's city council race backfired. ♪.be because your investments deserve the full story. t. rowe price invest with confidence.

connell: drawing national attention. we talked about it before the election. turns out a socialist, one of amazon's biggest critics declared victory in the seattle city council election. now the reason it became a story is amazon spent nearly 1 1/2 million dollars in an attempt to influence the results. looks like that spending backfired. adam lashinsky, fortune

executive editor joins us now. what message does this send, adam, if any? >> the country is becoming more urban and our cities are becoming more left-wing. it is happening over and over. i don't know if left-wing is right way of putting out or anti-corporate is best way of putting it. this happened in seattle. amazon in long island city, new york. toronto objected to google plan running an experiment in their city. san francisco, we just elected this last week, an even more left-wing district attorney than we had before. connell: a perfect segue in many ways, adam, talking about something amazon related, whether or not mike bloomberg runs for president. there are reports that jeff bezos called him up some time ago asked him if he would consider running. if you have to your point, not only cities, as you put it anti-corporate, but a democratic electorate and primary electorate anti-corporate, what

chance would mike bloomberg have, if you think? >> mike bloomberg is the dream choice of moderates everywhere, rich moderates, less rich moderates, this competent pro-business liberal person. i guess the cup half full way of answering it, connell, the country and states don't necessarily behave the way cities do in these relatively small elections which is what we saw in seattle and in san francisco. connell: wonder if you could make any kind of a mark though, you've been watching politics for a long time, skipping those early states? it seems like a tough thing to do. he may not get in. we'll see. >> he has never seen that before. the easiest retort we never saw someone like donald trump before. literally never saw someone like him before. so who knows. connell: everybody says, if you want to wave someone off, it will never happen, everybody

said it would never happen last time. >> we saw it happen. connell: we'll see. let me talk to you a little bit something big tomorrow. a lot of people are talking about disney plus. it officially goes live tomorrow. now ahead of that, there is a new study out. it projects the five major streams services will have a total of 529 million subscribers by the year 2025. netflix, according to this study will lead the way. it will double the subscriber amount of disney plus. so how would you look at this, if you're disney plus? say this is right. this is from something called digital tv research, that, it is good news for disney plus, another win, they have 100 million plus subscribers by 2025. or it is a loss, 130 million behind netflix? what is the goal of all of this? >> first of all you want to dig into the methodology of that study to understand what guesses they're making f disney in particular could only be

100 million behind netflix, if that is what you said that would be great news for disney. they have so many other ways making money on the entertainment assets. it has the theme parks, toys that it sells, movies. if they have got that, number two in very large market that would be quite good for disney. what you don't want to be is number four or number seven. connell: in this particular study may be a lot of guessing involved. there would be three. amazon would be there at 130, 135. but again, 100 million subscribers, i agree that would be a big, a big number for disney. are you, are you optimistic not that they necessarily can hit the number, but are you optimistic in general about disney plus? >> i am because, you're almost seeing a master class, or a case study in, in leveraged marketing the way they're bringing every property to bear. i will make a radical observation here. the worst off might be netflix.

amazon has so many other things to sell. disney has some other thinks to sell. netflix has one thing to sell. connell: right. the other thing is the, these other companies that are involved, are hbo, apple, the reason they were so far the down the line, they're projected to give away so many subscriptions for free. people won't pay for them all. we'll see you. adam lashinsky. >> yep. melissa: iran at it again, a dangerous new step. the regime is taking towards nuclear capability. that's next. plus the big chill, jeff flock is on the snow-covered ground for us with details after record breaking storm about to hit large parts of the country. melissa: get a job influencer. instagram will rid public likes. they will see how many like but the followers won't. the instagram is saying

nuclear watchdog that iran is taking on uranium enrichment in their underground facility. james care fawn know joins us now. i -- carafano. i think the iaea, uranium of man made origin was discovered in a location in iran not declared by the agency. this is the first time they acknowledged in a report in writing that the allegations made by the u.s. and israel against iran were true. in other words, they were cheating and they were enriching uranium at another site that they lied about. >> yeah. there is an overwhelming amount of evidence that the iranians have been always cheating this goes back to the fundamental problem with the iran deal. if you look at the preamble of the deal, iran basically says there, we were never interested in interested in getting a nuclear weapon. we deny we were ever interested in getting a nuclear weapon. we have demonstrable evidence they lied. they lied before the deal. there is mounting evidence they

cheated during the deal. i don't know why anybody is surprised they have not been honoring the deal from day one. melissa: if you talk to the democrats, the situation currently going on is the president's fault and they always say there was never any evidence that iran didn't abide by the deal. we have marie harf on from the state department, she will say again and again, there is no evidence anywhere that they ever violated it. does this now having the iaea say that they found man made uranium of a man-made origin discovered at a location in iran not declared to the agency, that is the exact phrasing from the report, does that finally lay to rest the argument that the iaea said they were abiding by the deal? >> obviously not since we already had evidence they were violating the deal. the iranians came out said they were enriching beyond the allowed level yet people continued to claim that iranians

were not this is interesting situation because any member of the u.n. security council could go back to the u.n. security council ask for a vote. and that could not be stopped. it could not be vetoed by the russians or chinese. essentially it would require the u.n. to snap back on sanctions that would be devastating on top of what the united states has already done. i think it will happen at some point. melissa: you do? >> bound to. the british would have already done with brexit. brexit is such a distraction for them, this conservative already joined the u.s. in going after the iranians. i think brexit is the only thing slowing them down. melissa: that is an interesting point. turkey deporting captured u.s. isis fighters including a u.s. national to their home countries. james, what do you think about this? >> this is the right thing to do. we can't let the folks sit around forever in the middle east in mass numbers. sending them back to their country is the right thing.

different countries have different criteria if they are tried or detain. if you know they're coming you know who they are. that is far better situation than having them run around in the region. there are literally thousands of these people. over time we have to figure out what to do with the population. we can't leave them sitting there. melissa: that is one of the biggest criticisms of president trump and what happened in syria, the pullout in syria. part as what he explained got him to the point, this idea you had all of these isis fighters sitting in camps which our own reporters have been too to, what are you going to do with them? the countries they came from for the most part doesn't want them back. >> right. melissa: the kurds are guarding them, to hang on to the territory. what is, if you don't have a political dog in the fight, what is the solution for those prisoners? what do you do with them? >> at some point they have to be, if they're foreign fighters i think they have to be sent back to their home countries.

you just can't leave them languishing in detention forever, even if you're, even if you're paying other people to detain them. the problem, that is a potential population that can be radicalized. here is the deal, if they're going to leave the country because, you know, the caliphate is falling apart, they will go back to the home country, you want them to go back on your terms, not on their terms, right? you don't want them sneaking back into the country hooking up with other people. you want to know they're coming back. so you can look after public safety and security in your own country. an organized retrograde of these people to their country makes a lot more sense. everybody is the same. we have different situations of the a lot of these guys came from tunisia and libya. if we dump thousands of foreign fighters in tunisia and libya that could be destablizing. to the u.s. and other countries, i think that would be fine. >> james, thank you. >> thanks for having me. connell: "fox business alert." i don't think we were expecting

any transcripts to be released today but moments ago the house did release the testimony of pentagon official laura cooper as part of the impeachment inquiry to president trump. hillary vaughn joins us from capitol hill with any breaking details. what do we have so far in this? >> we're learning cooper had a lot of concerns both at dod but also people in ukraine, apparently had knowledge, according to her, this military aid was being held up for some reason. she did detail that when it was first announced that congress was releasing this $250 million to ukraine, as planned, they did get questions directed about the from it whews about who approved this money. what the money entailed. they then answered those questions. then months later, there was this speculation that military aid was being held up. both from, officials in ukraine who seemed to have the, way she put it, quote acutely aware that this aid was being held up with

conditions. now she had no first-hand knowledge at least from pouring through these transcripts that the president put political terms on this aid. essentially held it for ransom. she says there were other concerns within her team about why this aid was being withheld. one of those came straight from ukraine. one question and answer period she says, the conversation with many a ambassador volcker because it related to security assistance needing to be lifted, the importance of that, he was relating conversations he had with ukrainian officials. could have been my inference, very strong inference there was knowledge on part of ukrainians was being held up for political purposes. connell? connell: hillary vaughn with new information for us from capitol hill. thanks, hillary. melissa: giving back to our nation's heroes. we're taking you back to a business fair for veterans made

♪. melissa: invested in our heroes. fox holding a veterans business fair at fox square today, right outside of our new york city headquarters. there are more than 3 million businesses started by veterans

in america. fox news's abby hornacek is in, on the scene with all of the details. abby? reporter: yeah, melissa. it has been a great veterans day here on fox square. actually veteran-owned businesses draw in $1.1 trillion of sales every single year. one of those companies aiding in that is savannah soft company. i tried some of these. they are truly incredible. we're here with tracy and mike. you served in the army. thank you for your service. >> thank you for your support. reporter: you talk about social responsibility with the business. how do you feel the time in the service helps what you generate in your company now? >> i believe as corporate citizens we have to give back to the communities in which we serve. we're trying to do that by helping to build and furnish and supply tiny homes in the community. reporter: mike, tell me a little bit about the sauce company. how many sauces do you have? >> we roughly have 20 sauces up

to date, but that fluctuates from week to week, depending if we're inspired to go into the kitchen and create some. reporter: which one's your favorite? >> my favorite would be the frog jam. it does not contain real frogs. reporter: dang it. >> big raspberries, oranges and ginger, hence the name prog. reporter: what inspired you to start the company? >> i don't know. it was totally by accident. something we fell into, and we love doing it. reporter: we appreciate your service. less than 1 1/2 of 1% of americans volunteer to be in the service so we really appreciate it. i will save you some, melissa. melissa:s absolutely. you're doing a great job out there today. i'm surprised how many people came by. abby, very cool. thank you for that. connell: here with a little more for us on the intersection of veterans and business is steve jones. he is the ceo of allied universal which is a security company. that company hired more than

33,000 veterans in recent years and, i'm sure, steve, the reasons, some people could guess the reasons why. in other cases maybe not as much. tell us what you see generally from the veterans you hire, why it is such a good decision for you in a physical security company? >> first of all the men and women that are in the u.s. military today are either trained in security. that is one of the things that they do. second of all, they're highly dependable, highly reliable. we find them incredibly adaptable. last but not least they're incredibly disciplined. so, the men and women, that represent our country each and every day, they make fantastic future employees of organizations. we, that is why, at allied universal we seek out to hire them and want them on our team. connell: those traits all make a lot of sense. i was reading a piece you wrote where you list other reasons. some skills i would not have thought off the top of my head.

then they started to make sense as well. one was talent that veterans have for technology. we do stories about robotics or could be something to do with video, biometric, all these things. the military is usually ahead of the game. because they come in experienced? they know what to do? >> yeah they come in with hands on experience, right? again the u.s. military is probably one of the most technologically advanced organizations in the world. so we get battlefield tested, hands on experience, employees, that you know, not only understand conceptually how the technology works but they have used it in real live situations. that is really an asset for us. connell: absolutely. that last point on our little board, there was no decoder needed military to civilian. similar language, right? >> absolutely, absolutely. they have used it each and every day in the field. so it is, they know exactly how

it works, what it can do. connell: the unemployment rate for those in the military, been in the military is actually lower. unemployment rate is lower, 3.2%, october 2019 than other folks. you're showing us why, taking advantage of that. continued success steve, thanks for coming on veterans day. we appreciate it. >> thanks for having me. happy veterans day. connell: absolutely. melissa: for more hiring our heroes, let's bring in our own david asman. what have you coming up on the show? do you have a salute to vets? >> we focus on businesses you have to learn how people do things, how they start businesses, grow businesses. this particular business is down in hampton, virginia. two women, one is a navy vet. the other is a wife of a vet. they got together to start a coffee company. it is a terrific pairing of people, because as much as we owe the vets, the we owe family of the vets, particularly the wives and husbands of people who go off into service.

they have patience, the patience of jobe. just imagine how much patience you need to be married to somebody who is in military service, particularly when they're on deployments. you apply the same patience to a business that you run, particularly new business, with all the complications, trying to get enough money to run things, trying to deal with all the new employees, trying to deal with food that goes bad, in the restaurant business. these ladies will tell us how they do it, what they brought from their service, whether the spouse of a service or something actually in the service, how they brought that to bear on the new business. i think we'll learn a thing or two. melissa: that is very cool, david. i have been talking to a lot of vets. one thing they have a hard time finding the same purpose that you have. >> that's true. melissa: such a calling to be in the military. you're serving really such a good, when you come back, hard to feel like the work you're doing afterwards is as worthwhile? >> it is. you don't have time to worry

about things. if you're not working or working for somebody else, you have spare time you can harp on the bad things or not doing as much as you thought you should be doing but when you have a business of your own, it is 24/7. you will find out from these ladies. >> that is true. can't wait to watch. see you at the top of the hour. connell: if you need another reason to stay inside during this week's record-breaking cold, you can take look at a video of a plane in chicago. melissa: oh. connell: we'll have details for you next. ♪. we made usaa insurance for members like martin.

tell your doctor about any changes in medicines you're taking. the most common side effects are swelling of the arms and legs and confusion. we spoke up and it made all the difference. ask your parkinson's specialist about nuplazid. fidelity has zero commissions for online u.s. equity trades and etfs, plus zero minimums to open a brokerage account. with value like this, there are zero reasons to invest anywhere else. fidelity. melissa: preparing for an arctic blast, millions are bracing for record low temperatures across the u.s., jeff flock in gary indiana with more. >> on michigan lake shore, typically temperatures about 50 degrees for a high right now.
