dr. ben carson says an announcement is fort coming about how he's going to help out america's inner cities. that seems to indicate he could be taking over the department of housing and urban development. trump has said he's strongly considering ben carson for the role. dr. carson told neil cavuto yesterday trump offered him the gig, but he said he had multiple offers in the president-elect's cabinet. dr. carson does not have a background in housing but is qualified because of his childhood in detroit and his experience treating inner city patients. donald trump did nominate south carolina governor nikki haley to be the ambassador to top united nations. but trump called nikki haley a great leader. the two of them did repeatedly clash over remarks that they made. trump once said governor haley had embarrassed south carolina

after she criticized him for not releasing his tax returns. during the primary, governor haley supported trump's rivals in truss. she did not end up voting for donald trump during the general election -- she did end up voting for donald trump, but during the campaign she said she was not a fun. donald trump also announced he's naming betsy devos as his education secretary. she's a long-time republican donor. "the washington post" reports devos gave money to carly fiorina during the primaries as well as jeb bush. she later supported marco rubio. she later told the newspaper she considered donald trump, an interloafer who doesn't represent the republican party. peter doocy is live in palm beach, florida, where donald trump is spending thanksgiving with his family. peter, trump and governor haley seem to have buried the hatchet,

huh? >> reporter: it seem that is way, john. we are told by members of the transitions team that mr. trump and governor haley have a lot of chemistry, so it was an easy selection to nominate the position for the president-elect. she said she'll do well because she's a deal maker. meanwhile, governor haley says she's stay in the statehouse in columbia until the confirmation wraps up. despite everything happening in the past, when the president believes you have a major contribution to make to the welfare of our nation and to our nation's standing in the world, that is a calling important to heed. as for dr. ben carson, we got word that he was planning to take advantage of down time over thanksgiving to think about the new job. but now he's dropping hints he's made up his mind writing on facebook about the hud division that, quote, after serious discussions with the trump transition team, i feel that i can make a significant

contribution, particularly to making our inner cities great for everyone. something else notable about a trump appointment today, the education nominee betsy devos, even jeb bush, the bitter rival of donald trump, said he thinks it was a good pick. >> peter doocy in palm beach, thanks. breaking news now and an update on the tennessee school bus crash. five young lives lost when a school bus with 37 elementary school students were on board crashing in chattanooga on monday. three of the children who died were in fourth grade, one in first and another in kindergarten. police are giving an update. let's listen. >> -- the families were impacted by this horrible crash. i'll provide you with an update on the investigation and take a few questions at the end. currently, the chattanooga police department has obtained warrants for the data devices on the bus. the investigative scene is reviewing video from the bus. some of the video we have showed

views from the front, back and sides. those are currently being examined as i said. we're also interviewing witnesses. we have not started speaking to the children involve in the crash yet, but we will in the future. that's also a very important part of our investigation. in interviewing the children, it's important that they have been impacted by traumatic incident that is we do that in cooperation with individuals who are trying in these matters as well as the parents. and we are working on coordinating those efforts. i would also like to mention that no one was ejected from the bus during or after the crash the media is reporting claims that the driver asked the children on the bus if they were prepared to die. i want to be very clear on this, no witness we have spoken with has that information or provided it directly to our

investigators. but we have also not interviewed our witnesses yet. if anyone has that information, we would request that you provide that to the chattanooga police department and investigators assigned to the case by calling the police department and speaking with one of them. as it relates to the blood draw, we received toxicology reports back today from the tennessee bureau of investigation that shows no trace of alcohol or drugs in the driver's system. the driver's driving history did include a minor wreck in september of this year investigated by our agency. and it is also part of the investigation. as for the patients, at this time hospital officials tell us six children remain hospitalized out of respect and privacy for the families impacted by this tragedy, we will not be providing you with any conditional updates. again, the chattanooga police

department's priority is helping the families heal. part of that healing process is reassuring them that our department investigators are commended to a complete, thorough and fair investigation. i'll take a couple questions. [ inaudible ] >> currently that is being examined by the investigator. that is currently part of the investigation. >> you said that the driver did not have alcohol in his system but -- [ inaudible ] >> that is part of the investigation.

the blood draw went to chattanooga international. that is part of the investigation. thank you. >> so there you have it. the investigation continues into the actions of the man on the right of the screen there, johnthony walker, the driver of the bus that crashed killing five students. police say they have found no evidence of alcohol or drugs in the blood samples. however, they have not continued or completed the investigation. they are getting warrants to search the black boxes and the information they contain. the school buses throughout the country contain black boxes very much like the kinds that are contained on commercial aircraft. they are data recorders that will tell investigators how fast

the bus was going and some other information in the moments before it crashed. mercedes colwyn is the fox news legal analyst that will join us shortly. four of the five killed in that crash were girls. it is believed that the crash took place at a high rate of speed, well in excess of the posted 30-mile-an-hour speed limit. you also heard the police chief there shoot down, at least partially shoot down, one of the claims that has become public in the last 24 hours or so. some parents said that johnthony walker on the screen was asking the children on board his bus if they were prepared to die. now, the police chief said that no one, that they have spoken to yet, can confirm that report. however, he also said they have not spoken to all of the witnesses that they want to speak with. so again, just a horrific scene in chattanooga, tennessee.

the entire town very much in mourning after this bus crash that took the lives of five children from an elementary school there. we'll be back with more in just a moment. see me. see me. don't stare at me. see me. see me. see me to know that psoriasis is just something that i have. i'm not contagious. see me to know that... ...i won't stop until i find what works. discover cosentyx, a different kind of medicine for moderate to severe plaque psoriasis. proven to help the majority of people find clear or almost clear skin. 8 out of 10 people saw 75% skin clearance at 3 months. while the majority saw 90% clearance. do not use if you are allergic to cosentyx. before starting, you should be tested for tuberculosis. an increased risk of infections and lowered ability to fight them may occur... ...tell your doctor if you have an infection or symptoms... ...such as fever, sweats, chills, muscle aches or cough. or if you have received a vaccine or plan to. if you have inflammatory bowel disease,

tell your doctor if symptoms develop or worsen. serious allergic reactions may occur. see me. see me. see me. on my way. find clear skin... and a clearer path forward. for a different kind of medicine, ask your dermatologist about cosentyx. [and her new business: i do, to jeanetgo. jean people. but had trouble getting paid. not a good time, jeanette. even worse. now i'm uncomfortable. but here's the good news, jeanette got quickbooks.

send that invoice, jeanette. looks like they viewed it. and, ta-da! paid twice as fast. oh, she's an efficient officiant. way to grow, jeanette. get paid twice as fast. visit quickbooks-dot-com. the cabinet for president-elect trump is taking

place. as nikki haley has been named as well as betsy devos as education secretary. josh is here from the associated press. a lot of people are surprised that nikki haley who was a vocal critic of donald trump during the campaign are winding up with posts in his administration. what do you make of it? >> reporter: that's right. one of the things donald trump has not indicated is a prere prerequisite to his cabinet was always agreeing with him. betsy devos and nikki haley criticized donald trump during the campaign and now will be on his team. we have seen this tendency among trump officials to have sort of a team of rivals, have competing power centers in his

administration, like reince priebus who spent a lot of time with the rnc to see if someone else can be the nominee. now on board as his chief of staff. we don't know how that is going to play once they are in the administration. for instance, if nikki haley is serving as ambassador and chief and takes a position, and then we see president trump say that's not how i feel, we'll see how chaotic that will be for the future trump administration. >> she has governed south carolina where there are a lot of international businesses that have moved in, michelin being one of them, bmw, others like that, but she doesn't have a great deal of international diplomatic experience. clearly she is a chief executive and that must be what he's looking for. >> reporter: right. that type of experience going and talking with businesses about potentially investing in the state is something that governors typically do, but it

is not foreign policy experience. one thing we are seeing is the trump cabinet shaping up to be a cabinet of novices. you have people who don't have a whole lot of experience, ben carson is being considered for housing and urban development. betsy devos is known to people in the education circles but not someone who served in a government capacity before. at the same time, donald trump said for months that he has little experience in politics and he was going to be able to win anyway. and he was right about that. so whether he's able to bring in some new energy by bringing in people who haven't been in government for decades and decades could possibly be a good thing. it's something we'll have to wait and see. >> is he in some ways imitating president obama who famously offered his secretary of state position to hillary clinton, his former rival? >> well, that is certainly a dynamic there. hillary clinton, of course, had a lot of foreign policy experience having been first lady and traveled extensively to other countries on behalf of the u.s. and also as a long-serving

senator. but certainly there is a dynamic there where he's bringing in people who were previously rivals or foes and trying to see whether their combined energy putting everyone on the same page within the republican party might be a good way to move forward. and also to have a diverse and vigorous administration not just comprised of people from one small sliver. that seems to be the approach that trump is trying to take. >> and what about, real quickly, the secretary of state post? will it be mitt romney? >> reporter: well, it is certainly interesting how mitt romney and others have been paraded in front of the media in trump tower, this procession of candidates in and out interviewing with him. it's created a lot of speculation where we are able to evaluate as the media and public the candidates in realtime. but mitt romney gave a major speech during the election. the entire purpose of the speech was to say donald trump cannot be our president, should not be our president. so it would take quite a bit of

an about-face by mitt romney to serve as one of the highest officials in trump's administration. >> some turn of events there in washington. josh letterman who covers the white house for the a.p., thank you. >> thanks. president-elect trump says he might be able to keep running his businesses while also running the country. he told "the new york times," quote, the law is totally on my side. the president can't have a conflict of interest. more on that coming up. my name is pam. i'm 51 years old. when i was diagnosed with pneumococcal pneumonia, it was huge for everybody. she just started to decline rapidly. i was rushed to the hospital... my symptoms were devastating. the doctor said, "pam! if you'd have waited two more days, you would've died." if i'd have known that a vaccine could have helped prevent this, i would have asked my doctor or pharmacist about it.

there are a lot of questions in washington right now. president-elect donald trump told "the new york times," the law is totally on my side. the president can't have a conflict of interest. the president-elect also says he's in the process of handing over the keys to his kingdom to

his three older children, donald jr., eric and ivanka, but with all three on the transition team, some say that is also a conflict of interest. one lawyer says he is considering putting his business in the blind trust meaning his children cannot talk to him about what is going on with the company, but by law blind trusts are overseen by an independent manager, not family members, and especially not children with a close relationship to their father. the former presidents have used this in the past to avoid the conflict of issue, but it only has involved assets like stocks and bonds, not a business empire that requires active daily management. sarah westwood is joining us now as a white house correspondent for the washington examiner. the president-elect says there's never been a case like this before, is he right? >> he's absolutely right. there's not been a president

who's had so many assets flung across the world. and his real estate holdings are difficult to offload. he can't call up his bank and have those stocks or bonds moved overnight into treasury bills or blind trusts like former presidents have. it would involve selling off hotels and properties. and that is something that can take years. so president-elect trump has to find a different solution that former presidents haven't used in the past. and it looks like he's leaning towards, like you mentioned, putting his children in charge of the business that has red flags among government ethics watchdogs who say that isn't enough insulation between the president and the day-to-day operations of his business. >> that quote in "the new york times" that i mentioned a moment ago, the law's totally on my side. the president can't have a conflict of interest. there is some support for that. >> right. it's tradition that politicians divest themselves of with holdings to pose a conflict of issue when it comes to

policymaking, but it is not the law. the conflict of interest applies to federal employees and don't extend to the president and vice president. there's a clause in the constitution that prevents federal officials from profiting personally off federal government. but that is not in the case of the presidency. donald trump is right that the law is on his side, but politically it's a tote dlimall different story. it would be extremely hard to run his business from the white house. he would be exposed to criticism because his business is so expansive, there are 100 different ways policies could be interpreted as benefiting his business even if it was inadvertent. >> if he gives control of the organization to his children, at least that's what he promised to do during the campaign, is that sufficient? is that enough of a wall between what he does as president and his business interests? >> some people who are watching this say it could be enough if

he couples it with the memorandum of understanding that he signed, promising not to discuss business operations with his children. but if you remember, an mou is what hillary clinton signed when she came secretary of state and her husband and daughter became involved with the clinton foundation. she said she wouldn't discuss or be involved with them in the operation of the clinton foundation or donor management required of that charity. as you know, that mou was not followed. her staff consistently violated it throughout her tenure at the state department and came back to haunt her, costing her the white house. some people wonder if donald trump pursues a similar past in regards to his business while president, if that can open him up to the same kinds of ethical pitfalls that tripped up hillary clinton. >> he's got hotels all over the world. one of them in dubai, for instance. so if the administration, if someone came to him and said, hey, we recommend a total economic blockade on the united

arab emirates, and that is where his hotel is, you can see where the conflicts might come up. >> exactly. and other politicians who are in this situation might be in a position to reuse themselves from that sort of situation. if they were in congress, for example, but the president cannot relose himself from any situation. so donald trump, if he leaves in place the perception that he could somehow be influenced by what would be best for his business, then he would leave himself open to all kinds of criticism. he would give his critics the exact fodder they want to paint him as the same type of politician he ran against. so he has to formalize the wall between himself and his company. he can't assure the public he won't be involved but leave his children deeply connected, both to his company and to his white house, because keep in mind, he has to make a formal show of making that firewall something that is written in stone. >> we'll see what the

president-elect decides. sarah westwood, washington examiner, thanks. so president-elect donald trump's policy platform continues to evolve. and changes dramatically as he prepares to be sworn in office. his critics say it's difficult to know where he stands on many of the issues, but the transition team says trump is just being trump. listen. >> i think you're going to have a very unconventional presidency in donald trump because he's unconventional. many in the press are still in campaign mode scratching their heads figuring out how to stop this guy from becoming president or from forming a cabinet in his likeness who are doing things and the flurry of activity in the first 100 days, which may, in fact, undo some of the legacy of their favorite president, president obama. and they need to get over that. to do the best for your pet, you should know more about the food you choose. with beyond, you have a natural pet food that goes beyond telling ingredients to showing where they come from.

imy moderate to severeng crohn's disease. i didn't think there was anything else to talk about. but then i realized there was.

so, i finally broke the about what i was experiencing. he said humira is for people like me who have tried other medications but still experience the symptoms of moderate to severe crohn's disease. in clinical studies, the majority of patients on humira saw significant symptom relief. and many achieved remission. humira can lower your ability to fight infections, including tuberculosis. serious, sometimes fatal infections and cancers, including lymphoma, have happened; as have blood, liver, and nervous system problems, serious allergic reactions, and new or worsening heart failure. before treatment, get tested for tb. tell your doctor if you've been to areas where certain fungal infections are common, and if you've had tb, hepatitis b, are prone to infections, or have flu-like symptoms or sores. don't start humira if you have an infection. if you're still just managing your symptoms, talk with your gastroenterologist about humira. with humira, remission is possible. well, donald trump seems to

be back tracking on his campaign promises. he told "the new york times" he doesn't feel strongly about trying to prosecute hillary clinton. he says it would be divisive for the country. during his campaign he said he would approach a special prosecutor to investigate clinton and threaten to put her in jail. but trump told "the times" he's not taking a possible investigation off the table completely. he's also keeping an open mind about climate change, which he used to call a hoax. in other interviews trump said he might accept a fence instead of a wall in some spots along the border with mexico. and he said he's open to keeping parts of obamacare instead of repealing the whole thing. let's look at this from both sides of the aisle. this is a democratic member of the ohio state senate. and kristin hill is an author of the book "government gone wild." kristin, are you disappointed what you're hearing from the president-elect? >> a little bit but not too much. i suspect that a lot of the

toned down rhetoric is an effort to bring opponents into the fold. trump is not a king. he can't do -- he can't take a lot of actions alone. he's got to work with other people. and as a results and action-oriented guy, i think he understands that. we've also got to keep in mind that the country is very divided right now. and trump is no longer a candidate, he's the president-elect. so a lot of what he's doing is probably an effort to unite the country and not infuriate his opponents more than they already are. >> are you surprised, capri, at some of the positions he's taking? >> i'm not surprised. donald trump throughout the entire process of the campaign, you know, obviously said a lot of very strong things, like build a wall or lock her up. but that was very much a campaign. trump is a pragmatist. the fact that he's being pragmatic about the fact that we just said, i mean, he's president-elect of the united states. he's going to have to find a way to govern. and i think he's moderating some of his ways because he's

recognizing that some of them may not be able to be implemented as easy as trump thought. >> we shouldn't make a mistake, he will be a man of action and he has to prioritize. the slogan of his campaign was make america great again. and we're going to do that by focusing on terrorism, on jobs, on the border. as much as i and his other supporters would love to see hillary clinton be held accountable, locking hillary up is not going to really go towards making america great again. so he's got to think about what he should spend his time doing. and right now that's focusing on the issues and stacking his cabinet. >> and it's also true that americans want to see things get done. and under the president's polarized atmosphere in washington, there's not a whole lot getting done. >> no, and we have not seen any action really for years, which frankly i think is the main contributing factor to current president obama's overoutlization of executive

order. we'll see what happens come january 21st when we have a fully controlled republican federal government and how much action they actually do take and how much then president trump will utilize executive order to do things that he wants to do that maybe members of the united states may not share his views on. >> but when this president comes into office, he's going to get leerily looks from both sides of the aisle. there are a lot of republicans who do not necessarily trust him just as much as democrats. >> that might be a good thing. trump is going to be held accountable. this could be one of the most hated men in america that is really loved by his supporters, but the media sure doesn't like him and that could be a good thing. that will hold him accountable. he'll deliver on a lot of promises. and this is all about action. the one thing i will say as a trump supporter, i was a bit disappointed in his announcement about hillary clinton. if the doj thinks there is something to investigate there, they aught to be allowed to do that. >> he can't do that unilaterally anyway. it's not up to him. if the law enforcement officials

ultimately do come to a conclusion, for example, that the clinton foundation -- it's incumbent on them to take action. but donald trump himself is not going to be the person that will have to drive that tray. he's the president, not the attorney general. >> right. i think this is all about narrative and bringing the country together. but the reason a lot of his supporters are a little bit disappointed right now is because nobody should be above the law, including hillary clinton. justice should be blind. justice doesn't know your last name, it doesn't know if you ran for president. and i don't think he should have completely closed the door on the whole hillary investigation. >> but it is, i mean, will be country sort of wants to be in the middle, somewhere in between democratic liberalism and republican conservativism. the country kind of wants that middle road, doesn't it? >> sure. i mean, more than anything else, i think that the american people want a constructive dialogue between democrats and republicans, between east coast, west coast and the midwest. this is the time that we need to be able to come together,

because it's been so divisive over the last year to 18 months through the 2016 presidential election. people want to see a government of action, and i think they want to see substantive policy discussions, not a witchhunt trial that might be going on, for example, through congressional hearings on hillary clinton. >> ohio went for donald trump. >> indeed, by 11 points. >> capri and kristen, thank you. get ready for crowded roads and airports. more people are traveling for this thanksgiving than in the last decade according to aaa, which predicts almost 49 million americans will travel 50 miles or more compared to last year. that's a million more people on the move. katherine herridge is live at union station in d.c. now. >> reporter: john, for amtrak, this is really like game day. this is the busiest weekend of the entire year. and the peak days are tuesday, today and sunday. and they are expecting in excess of 750,000 passengers. here at union station, there is

a very highly visible security presence. and many of the passengers told us that this is simply not an issue. >> i guess i am kind of neutral to it. it makes me feel more safe. >> i just feel like it's less of a target. so generally speaking it makes me feel safer. >> if you're traveling this weekend, you should expect to see a lot of the canine teams that are really good at clearing passenger expressways and efficiency. earlier this week an amtrak spokesperson told reporters that their security posture is really unchanged over last year. >> amtrak police are increasing their presence along with local state and federal partners as well as increasing canines throughout the station and on the right-of-way.

that is typical of a holiday, we would a boost our efforts security-wise. >> reporter: it's the same advice whether you're taking the trains or you're flying this holiday weekend. they really want you to pack conservatively and leave a lot of extra time for the pick-up as well as to drop off. >> and they have special crisis teams ready to go, huh? if needed? >> reporter: well, that's right. there's a rule here for homeland security as well as tsa. they have special crisis response teams and they have a surge capability that can deal with terrorism as well as criminal activity. >> we will have our viper teams out, those are the visible response teams, agents that work closely with local law enforcement. so you'll see more of that. and they will be running more of a real-safe operation where there is visible presence in stations and terminals. >> reporter: as you travel

through the stations this holiday weekend, pay close attention as you may see a scanner like you're seeing here. it uses a soundwave that is able to scan an entire crowd to pick up suspect devices. what we also were told by the homeland security secretary recently is that the global press picture remains high but essentially unchanged. >> our basic assessment of the global threat environment has not changed. we remain concerned about home grown violent extremists that could strike the homeland with little or no notice. >> reporter: if there is a difference, it's with the outside visuals.

>> katherine herridge, thank you. take a look at all the planes in the skies right now. more than 3.5 million people will fly between today and sunday. that's a little more than last year. the tsa is keeping an eye on security lines at big airports and there are extra k9 teams on hand as well. jonathan hunt is live at los angeles international airport. how are things moving there, jonathan? >> reporter: i have to say, john, that as of now it's all moving pretty smoothly here at lax. and as far as we hear, pretty much the same story across the country. the check-in lines at the terminals we have been at near los angeles international are pretty much the same as you would expect on any given wednesday. the same with the security lines. tsa is processing people pretty quickly, so no major problems. even though lax is expected to be one of the three busiest

airports in the country over this thanksgiving holiday, along with atlanta and chicago. officials refer to this as the 11-day travel period. some 27 million americans are expected to fly. 2.3 million, one in ten of them passing here through lax. but so far as they say, john, it is moving pretty well. john? >> what about security, is that an issue? >> reporter: well, security is always an issue at every airport right across this country. and obviously security is stepped up to some extent on the holidays like this one, which would prove to be attractive targets for would-be terrorists. so there are extra tsa agents on duty, not just to keep the lines moving, but to provide for everyone's safety. the lax police department also tells us they are ready for anything. listen here. >> we're constantly checking intelligence sources. we have great relationships with

our federal partners here. we're looking for threats, we're doing training virtually every week on whatever might be coming our way. so we're ready and we have great people here. and so people should be comforted by that. >> reporter: and as you take a live look at denver international airport, it seems to tell the same story that we're seeing right across the country at airports everywhere, john. that those screening processes coupled with relatively calm weather everywhere means there are no significant delays right now. everybody seems to be having, for the moment, a happy thanksgiving travel experience. john? >> let's hope that keeps up right through the weekend. jonathan hunt, thank you. coming up, investigators have just given an update on the terrible bus crash in tennessee. as we learn that the man behind the bus, driving the bus i should say, has a you believe two -- troubled history behind the

>> a toxicologist test found no alcohol or drugs in the blood work from the bus driver that crashed in chattanooga. johnthony walker is being charged with manslaughter. walker is accused of speeding on a winding road before flipping the bus and slamming it into a tree. the police chief did not confirm reports claiming that walker asked the children if they were ready to die before the crash. the chief says no witnesses have told investigators that. joining us now is fox news analyst mercedes coleman. we always want to know why, if

there are no traces of drugs or alcohol in the system, why? where do you go? >> the first thing you do is was he inebriated or in an altered state. because this is such a catastrophic event. then you move into, did he drive recklessly? and what you are left with is he drove over the speed limit. there was a 30-mile-per-hour speed limit limit in that particularly area. it was a windy road and he probably took it too fast. but the experts have to come in to look at the tire tracks, whether he slammed on the brakes, what did he do? you'll get the experts to say if he was speeding and what level he was speeding at. >> i was surprised to learn that investigators need an arrest warrant to get the cameras and the black box from the bus. you need and search warrant for that? >> there's a presumption of innocence. he's been arrested and charged with the crime, but he hasn't been convicted of a crime. you need the search warrant to get the material and evidence.

and it is obviously critical evidence to show his behavior within the bus. and especially if he was actually taunting the children as he's accused of taunting them and saying, are you ready to die? we'll hear that from the recorder. >> he only got his bus driver's license back in april. and he already had one accident where apparently he was taking a curve, maybe too high at a rate of speed, he crossed over the center line and an on coming car clipped the side of the bus. or the bus clipped the side of the car, not sure which, but does that kind of record suggest that he's going to, perhaps face -- i mean, can it give him additional penalties for what happened in this particular case? >> great question. if he has some pre-existing act that shows the forceability of his conduct, that could come in undoubtedly. if he has a record of doing this in the past. criminally? it will be up to the judge. criminally they may decide it is

too prejudicial, we won't let it go forward. there was no person or injury. there were no sirens that went off in anyone's head. they say this is going to lead to a much worse accident in the future. so probably not. it won't come in as criminal. >> talking about civil cases, durham school services ran the bus line. it doesn't sound as though that is the school drichblgt but tis. >> how tragic with five little lives lost. plus an additional six children are in the hospital with varying degrees of injury. in the final amount, there are going to be at least 11 lawsuits. >> five children dead as of now, but there could be others. four of them little girls. it is just an atrocious story. mercedes, thank you. >> good to see you. more ahead from the f news desk on this thanksgiving eve. this year instead of eating turkey, how about tater tots.
