>> yep, stop by, 48th and 6th avenue. take your picture with our free, it's beautiful. >> greenbriar owned by jim justice, the west virginia governor. another reason to watch. >> and justice for all. >> have a wonderful day. >> bill: good morning. there is a possible rail strike looming that could cripple our economy in time for the holidays. no bueno. high stakes negotiations underway. will the president step in? hope the turkey was good. i'm bill hemmer, back live in new york city with my partner. >> dana: i'm dana perino. this is "america's newsroom." you had a very activity-filled traditional thanksgiving. >> it was chock full. >> dana: how was the 10k turkey trot. >> i finished. >> dana: why is it 10k, not a

5k? >> bill: you would have to ask the runners that. cincinnati is hilly. the poinsettias we have on set are beautiful. hope you had a great thanksgiving. >> dana: i did. we'll give you the news now. multiple rail unions project -- rejected the deal. >> the treasury department says it will allow chevron to resume oil operations in venezuela. t republicans aren't buying it. >> just one more anti-american act by the biden administration. you know, texas doesn't have a dictatorship problem. north dakota doesn't have a dictate orship problem or west pennsylvania. why is it the place they select to buy more oil happens to have a dictatorship?

watch them with i ran and saudi arabia. you see the biden administration make decisions that hurt americans again and again. >> bill: the oil decision by edward lawrence. james freeman from the "wall street journal." we begin with mark meredith on the news of the day. this and more. >> good morning. the clock is ticking. deadline to avert the potential strike 11 days away. economic experts are warning if a strike occurs, it cove a devastating impact on american consumers and every industry in the country will feel it. it remains unclear how involved the president plans to be or is. reporters asked him about the efforts while on vacations last week in massachusetts. >> can you talk about the hold-up is mr. president >> harris: i can't. we're in the middle of negotiations. my team has been in touch with all parties and i have -- i have

not directly engaged yet. they are still talking. >> the president is under pressure to find a solution and so is congress. one republican congressman said it won't let a railroad strike hurt the u.s. economy and union negotiators who say they aren't eager to strike. >> we have no desire to strike or interrupt holidays. we want to be home on the holidays, too. this is not being used as leverage. >> the national retail federation says if a strike occurs the impact is devastating. american businesses and families are already facing increased prices because of inflation and a rail strike will create greater inflation and congress must intervene immediately to avoid a strike and catastrophic shutdown of the freight rail system. we aren't expecting to see president biden on camera. no economic events on his

schedule tomorrow and talking about the economy. >> bill: we don't need a strike. hope you had a good thanksgiving. >> dana: let's go to washington and the biden administrations decision to let one of america's biggest oil companies resume business in venezuela. edward lawrence is live at the white house. >> he turned to the dictator in venezuela maduro to bring more oil to the market. this is a zbochlt the u.s. does not even officially recognize. the treasury department has issued a generalizeens to chevron to start being able to pump oil out of venezuela. in anticipation of the criticism an administration spokesperson said this action will not be taken in response to energy prices. this is a limited license as we have said in the past, this is about regime taking steps needed

to support the restoration of democracy in venezuela. u.s. oil representatives shaking their heads. >> we wish that they would let up on some of these policies that are making it more difficult for the american producer and move forward with approving pipelines in the united states instead of trying to license operations in venezuela. >> republicans equally as disappointed that this administration is willing to work with non-allies. >> i don't know why we're going to communist dictatorships and begging opec plus to increase production when we have the energy here in america to get the job done. >> opec plus cut oil production at the last meeting. signaling another cut at the next meeting. the idea by this administration is to get as much oil on the market as possible to lower gas prices to a level where voters will continue to vote democrat with the goal of not changing the energy policy in the u.s. to

restrict and regulate u.s. energy and fossil fuels, thus forcing the transition that president biden wants to force by wind and solar into electricity. back to you. >> dana: thank you so much. >> bill: want to bring in james freeman from the "wall street journal." fox news contributor. hello to you. you don't have to go shopping in venezuela to find this stuff. >> this is a little puzzling. this consistent biden pattern of discouraging u.s. energy production and encouraging it about foreign dictatorships. this is happening again. is it ideological, a thirst on the part of the president to get foreign policy successes? to be clear there is no meaningful step venezuelan regime has taken to restore democracy. all they've done is agreed to talk some more, which they've done in the past to stall. your viewers remember maduro the

dictator stole the 2018 election. the whole world said that. the country's assembly said that. he remains in power. no meaningful move toward democracy and a lesson on what happens when democratic social lists take over a country sitting on the world's largest oil reserves and poverty, scare tee and misery and oil production far below what it used to be. >> dana: as you said, venezuela what is the meaningful step to democracy? i have not read about it. i try to read about. what happened last week before we went on the break? the administration, biden administration gave immunity to the leader of saudi arabia. so you have those two things and then your colleagues mary o'grady wrote this. call for number one. biden's dirty oil deal with venezuela. they get the sanctions reprieve while the u.s. vetoes a loan to

ghana and that drives them further to china. >> this is again you wonder is it ideological? we have this rare friend who wants to develop their oil resources. they are plentiful and the u.s. government not helping, not cooperating and not wanting to assist that development. meanwhile the dictator in venezuela, you know, by the way, if you read the constitution of venezuela, it reads a lot like a bernie sanders speech and you see where that leads to. but yeah, trying to find evidence of some meaningful step towards allowing opposition, allowing more of a free press, restoring democracy, it's very hard to find no matter how much you read. >> bill: it is almost as if this administration will do anything but admit the obvious. now, back in -- we've got that

going on with venezuela and chevron. it may take years before chevron moves the oil to market. it is symbolic the way the decision was made. the story of the rail strike. this is the wrong time to have this. i want to remind viewers back in mid september we thought we had a deal. we were given the impression we had a deal at the white house with the president then. >> president biden: together we reached an agreement that will keep our critical rail system working and avoid disruptions of our economy. it could avert significant damage that any shutdown would have brought. >> bill: the whole key line together we reached an agreement. apparently not. >> four of the unions said no, including the largest one. i think this is another question you do wonder was this a political effort to kick this problem past the mid-terms?

here we are in the most critical time. 30% of the nation's cargo moving by rail. if you were thinking that supply chain problems were a thing of the past, it may be inflation was moderating this would do nothing but inflame those problems once again and that's why you heard on this network over the weekend members of congress saying they don't want to allow that to happen. this is one industry where under the law they can basically prevent it. >> dana: the other thing that's interesting about this is on the political side of things, as a country go through a political realignment as the republican party starts to focus more on the working class, biden was working class joe but he just gave student loan forgiveness to liberal college elites. but in this situation who is going to be for the worker? i think it's very interesting. >> a good point. he has certainly presented himself that way. obviously the workers were not very happy with the deal he was

touting in september as a solution here. it is a tough situation because for those of us who like small government and don't like the idea of government saying okay, you have to keep negotiating or you can't strike, it is tough to do that in this scenario because we also have another lock on the jones act which impedes people from moving cargo by water. so there is not a great solution if there is a rail strike right in the weeks before christmas. >> bill: we have the clock running. see what happens over the next 12 days. thank you, james. nice to see you. >> dana: first guest out of the gate this morning. a small plane stuck for hours 100 feet in a power line tower knocked out electricity to tens of thousands. >> bill: kevin mccarthy threatening to impeach the homeland security secretary. the border crisis gets no better. so bad the administration is ordering federal air marshals to

go there and help. we're live on the border. >> dana: no suspect or murder weapon more than two weeks after the murders of four idaho college students. we do have somebody who was there, though. the latest on the investigation next. >> we are making progress in this case. that's kind of where we're at at this point of time. we're making progress and continuing to move forward. together we support immune function. supply fuel for immune cells and sustain tissue health. ensure with twenty-five vitamins and minerals, and ensure complete with thirty grams of protein. veteran homeowners: need cash? at newday you can borrow up to 100% of your home's value to pay down high rate credit cards, personal loans, even car loans. veterans get more at newday.

my a1c stayed here, it needed to be here. ray's a1c is down with rybelsus®. i'm down with rybelsus®. my a1c is down with rybelsus®. in a clinical study, once-daily rybelsus® significantly lowered a1c better than a leading branded pill. in the same study, people taking rybelsus® lost more weight. rybelsus® isn't for people with type 1 diabetes. don't take rybelsus® if you or your family ever had medullary thyroid cancer, or have multiple endocrine neoplasia syndrome type 2, or if allergic to it. stop rybelsus® and get medical help right away if you get a lump or swelling in your neck, severe stomach pain, or an allergic reaction.

serious side effects may include pancreatitis. gallbladder problems may occur. tell your provider about vision problems or changes. taking rybelsus® with a sulfonylurea or insulin increases low blood sugar risk. side effects like nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea may lead to dehydration, which may worsen kidney problems. need to get your a1c down? you may pay as little as $10 per prescription.

well, we fell in love through gaming. but now the internet lags and it throws the whole thing off. when did you first discover this lag? i signed us up for t- mobile home internet ugh! but, we found other interests. i guess we have.

>> dana: a dramatic rescue in maryland early this morning after a small plane crashed into a power line tower last night just outside baltimore and washington, d.c. the two people on board trapped 100 feet up and they were up there for several hours. rescuers had to cut power to the tower to some 85,000 customers to get those two people down.

>> what i do believe is faster than we expected was the ability to remove them from the aircraft. those people assisted us in their movement from the aircraft to the bucket of those power units. >> dana: the pilot and passenger taken to a hospital with serious injuries but expected to survive. school is canceled in the area this morning. >> we have said that we do not have a suspect and do not have a person of interest at this time. we are building again as you mentioned before, building a profile, building a picture. >> bill: it has been now two weeks since the brutal murders of four students in idaho. no suspect, no murder weapon, classes set to resume today after a thanksgiving break. it remains to be seen how many students show up for class there in moscow, idaho. dan springer is in the snow out there today. updates on what we think we

might know as of now. dan, hello. >> it will be interesting to see how many of the 11,000 university of idaho students return for in-person classes today. we'll have a better idea later on in the day. we know that dozens of investigators worked right through the long holiday weekend. there has been no reduction of resources on this case. they're making progress but as you heard from the pio they still do not have a suspect nor do they have a person of interest named. we saw investigators working well into the night at the moscow police department several nights. much of the effort now is taking all the analysis from the forensic evidence and piecing it together to come up with a suspect. we did see a little activity at the murder scene. the f.b.i.'s behavioral analysis unit showed up once in and around the house. whatever profile they've established on the killer they aren't sharing it with us. only with investigators. the big thing now is did they get any hit in any of the criminal database is from dna left in the house by the killer?

and what do they know from a possible footprint or a fingerprint left inside. we saw students returning to campus yesterday. after the break the university of idaho is giving students the option of finishing the semester at home and online if they don't feel comfortable coming back right now. those who do return will likely show up for a vigil for the victims wednesday. it was postponed because so many students left after the murders. this community is on edge, bill. we have been told by police that since the murders two weeks ago they received 78 calls from people in this community saying this they have unusual circumstances. that compares to 70 in all of october. people are seeing things, on edge and reporting things to police but still no resolution in this case. >> bill: on it goes. thank you dan springer in the snow in moscow, idaho. >> dana: let's bring in a

retired inspector. you were there with lawrence jones and from your perspective it's a new area for you. you work new york city for your career. what did you see there that gave you any sort of idea of what might have happened? >> the best way i can describe the atmosphere in town you have this very eyed ill i can, historic college town in the foothill of the rockies. the atmosphere is like evil has come to town. you can see it affecting the community as dan said. you see a lot of support, you see they're on edge. 911 calls and see support and signs every where to support the victims, etc. you also see all the flyers for moscow p.d. asking for help with the investigation. >> you were out there with lawrence jones. want to play a kip of this with aaron snell from the communications department in

idaho state. >> can you tell me who was targeted or whether multiple people that were targeted during that incident? >> we believe that this was targeted. we have not come out and said targeted to one person or multiple people. that's all part of that investigation that ultimately will come out but just right now it is pretty pertinent to our investigation. >> bill: what do you hear in that? >> targeted. what does it mean? a lot of focus on that. without having any inside information other what's public in my estimation lawrence and i walked with area and to be in that area where this house is you have to want to be there. it is not something that you happen upon. it is kind of remote. you have to go up this hill. the house is nestled against a hill and nested area. a lot of student housing around there. they jumble together on top of each other. it is not as wooded as it looks online. there is a lot of undergrowth

that could hide let's say where a murder weapon might be. there is no cameras. we canvassed the area for cameras. we don't see any lawrence and i. interesting some of the things we found out from the press office and from the moscow p.d. they did do a grid search. they deployed a dog in that area to look for the weapon and maybe an escape route by the perp. not all the dna is back. they may still be able to develop something off that. forensics are starting to come back. you see an updated timeline getting some of the stuff off kaylee's phone that they're into and have probably pulled the wifi logs. if you look online you can see one of kaylee's tiktok videos is still up. a wifi router in the background. so i assess the house likely had a wifi. you can get those logs relatively easily. right now i think it's for lack of a better term a battle of wills. you have this team of investigators going through the

minutia of these state yeah points and you have somebody out there who is a psychopath who thinks they can outlast them and he is not breaking. i think the good guys will be able to pull it off. you can't call it a cold case by any stretch at this point. >> dana: thanks for going out there with lawrence jones. [shouting] >> bill: watch this story now. stunning wave of protests throughout china against the communist government. covid lockdown policies with some chanting down with president xi. you do not hear that every day in china. also in portland, oregon the crime crisis so bad a store owner needs to close for good after a string of break-ins. that city is broken and the owner of that store is coming up live next.

[shouting] >> bill: this is communist china. calling for an end to the government's 0 covid lockdown policies. some even calling on the chinese president xi to step down after a deadly apartment fire about a week ago. protestors saying lockdown measures slowed first responders. the bbc says chinese police assaulted one of its reporters who was covering the protests in shanghai and held him for several hours before releasing him. this does not happen under communist china rule but happening right now. how long it goes. >> dana: how long the chinese let it go. gordon chang said this.

>> this is actually more dangerous than 1989. because then protestors really wanted to keep the communist party in place but just wanted to replace some hard line leaders. this is more like 1949 where the chinese people had just given up on the nationalist government and the communists came in. >> dana: we'll see. these people are very frustrated for a lot of reasons. the covid lockdowns have kept them from their lives and they're tired of it. >> bill: shanghai is hundreds of miles from beijing. beijing is hundreds of miles from what you see on your screen. there are millions and millions of people who live in each and every one of these chinese cities. is it coordinated? it could be. we're told the ccp is trying to lock down the internet to prevent people from seeing the videos we just showed you. we'll see what he does and how he acts. >> dana: the people protesting that happen to be watching us, we see you as well and keep

talking about it. also in new york convictions have fallen sharply under alvin bragg according to the "new york post" which also reports his office has downgraded 52% of this year''s felony cases to miss demeanors. only 29% were prosecuted. >> under manhattan's district attorney alvin brag the misdemeanor cases aren't being prosecuted with much success. using data found on the d.a.'s own website. when you compare this year in 2019 under then district attorney vance you will find that 52% of felony cases have been downgraded up from 39% in 2019. only 29% resulted in convictions. it dropped from a 53% conviction rate in 2019 and just 522

misdemeanor cases resulted in jail sentences. about five times lower than in 2019. now look, in a controversial day one memo d.a. bragg ordered his prosecutors to downgrade felonies and stop seeking prison sentences in many crimes. total crime is up city-wide 28% from last year. shooting incidents and shooting victims are down about 15%. in a statement bragg's office said this. the fact is we have prosecuted 459 more felonies this year compared to last and we have three times as many gun convictions so far this year compared to all of 2019. we'll continue prosecuting violence drivers and prioritizing safety and fairness in every case. bragg points to covid-19, a 2019 reform law that led to a lot of cases being dismissed because of technicalities and the state's new bail reform law that ends cash bail in most cases.

>> the policies that alvin bragg supports. how can he -- it's a double edged sword. how can he support all the progressive reforms and use them as an excuse to not do his job? >> >> dana: she makes a good point. >> bill: a clothing store in portland, oregon has had enough after being robbed for the 15th time in 18 months. they're closing their doors for good posting a statement saying our city is in peril and calling out officials for failing to prosecute criminals. the owner of that store is marcy and she is with me now. good morning to you. appreciate you getting up early in portland. i don't know what you are going through but this is no good. i want to read something that you wrote. our city is in peril, small businesses and large cannot sustain doing business in our city's current state. we have no protection or recourse against criminal

behavior that goes unpunished. i can't imagine what you are going through. your city is not working, marcy. >> right now you are correct. it is not working on a crime level. but that does not mean it's a lost cause. i still believe in this city and all the people here that are good, honest people. they are just not aware of the dire situation because it is not affecting them firsthand. i want the story to be out so people understand exactly what's going on. >> bill: what is your solution? you get broken into once, you come back and live to fight another day. it happens again you are like what's going on here. but 15 times? it doesn't make sense to people outside of portland. >> it doesn't make sense to people inside of portland, either. if i had the solution, that

means i would have a winning lottery ticket, right? there is many layers to this problem. why my story got picked up? i don't know. maybe my dumb luck but i'm hoping that to get it out there to all citizens in this city so that we can mobilize and try to make some change. >> bill: marcy, i don't know what the mayor has said, ted wheeler. but you have been reimbursed for some of the damage. but your point is you can pay for a glass window but that won't fix the problem because you are trying to sell expensive winter products. you say when they arrive in your store you feel they will be stolen that night or next day. what are you going to do? >> that is absolutely correct, bill and why i decided to close. it was a personal decision. i am an independent small

business owner. and it came down to not just the financial side but the safety of my employees and myself. so, you know, it is a difficult question but i just reached my breaking point because the reimbursement that i have gotten, that was for the first three break-ins. so beyond the city not having law enforcement and taking care of the criminal behavior that is running rampant, we have insurance companies that drop small businesses if and when you do make a claim. so we are stuck. we have to have insurance, by law, to operate our business. however, if we use that insurance, we are dropped. so we've got a lot of factors

playing against small businesses beyond just the city and local level. there are some larger problems going on that need to be solved. >> bill: how are you going to make money now? what are you going to do? >> well, i do still have another business and thankfully i'm able to keep that one open. it is separate from this one but we're hoping to focus on that and keep all my employees employed. >> bill: we'll stay in touch with you. we have been reporting on the problems in portland for three years it seems like. i hope you have a good alarm and good locks and best to you and the other businesses. good luck to you, marcy. >> thank you, sir. bye-bye. >> dana: iran calling for the u.s. to be kicked out of the world cup. what's that about? they showed support for protestors of the regime. we'll have the latest on the

>> bill: here we go again. early voting is underway in georgia. the runoff race for senate is a week away. herschel walker and raphael warnock hitting the trail today trying to drum up turn out. we're live in atlanta. all they do in georgia is vote. good morning. >> good morning, bill. seems like it. both candidates warnock and walker are out fighting this race out as early voting opens up statewide. you know here on the ground bill and dana you get a sense from voters that this race, runoff is still of great importance to folks in georgia. the numbers don't lie.

according to the georgia secretary of state's office, more than 157,000 folks cast ballots on the first sunday and saturday of early voting. more than 1 1/2 times the turnout compared to the first weekend of early voting during the general election. this is at least theoretically a win for democrats who fought and won in court to have saturday voting following thanksgiving after the secretary of state's office said it was against state law to have voting after a state holiday. that decision by the courts made way for more than two dozen counties to open up polling sites this weekend. at some locations lengthy lines formed creating waits as long as 2 to 3 hours. folks stuck it out to vote their convictions. >> the abortion issue. i believe women have the right to choose and mr. warnock represents that right. >> i really feel like i like a smaller government, not so many regulations and power at the

federal level. >> meantime both warnock and walker are out trying to deliver closing messages. they hope will energize more folks to get out and vote. warnock is trying to attract the democratic base but also looking to attract republicans who refuse to vote for walker. warnock campaign wants the race to be about character and the walker campaign is challenging them on that in this new attack ad out today. take a listen. >> character is what you do when nobody is watching. >> warnock thought no one was watching when his exwife called police to report his abuse. >> [inaudible] >> things seem to be moving pretty good with early voting right now. the georgia secretary of state's office says at least three counties are almost at 20% of

their vote total that they collected during the general election back in earlier this month. things seem to be moving pretty good, guys. >> bill: eight days and counting. thanks, charles, nice to see you in atlanta. >> dana: iran called for the u.s. to be kicked out of the world cup in qatar after the u.s. soccer federation showed the flag without the islamic. this is a journalist outspoken about the regime. the quote is we wanted to show our support for the women in iran with our graphic for 24 hours. it got noticed. how do you see that? >> i was very happy when i saw the flag was the flag of the islamic republic. let me be clear with you. now that i'm talking to you 10,000 people are watching me on my instagram live.

i am being inside with iranians. they don't see that the football team represents them. our football team. islamic republican football team. why i'm saying that before the members of the football team coming to qatar, they were actually meeting with a butcher in iran. most important than this half of the population in iran are not allowed to go to the stadium and watch football game. this is a gender apart hide regime and the team represents the dictatorship. they were celebrating the victory of england. people are now hoping that america beats the football team. >> bill: we'll see what happens tomorrow at 2:00. this has been going on for weeks. some suggest 15,000 have been arrested. unconfirmed. it is hard to get a final

number. the niece of iran's supreme leader went to youtube and said this doesn't happen now, right? she said the following. >> free people be with us and tell your governments to stop supporting this murderous regime. it does not know any laws or rules except for maintaining its power in any possible way. >> bill: how significant is it that she would go online with a statement like that? >> it is very significant that you see that the relative of the supreme leader doesn't believe in him and calling not only young people to take to the streets and protest. she was calling the western countries, the democratic countries, the leaders of g7 to take action. take action and do not allow khomeini to kill more people. we've seen thousands of people in prison and more than 200 members of parliament, they

asked for the execution of those who are in jail right now. right now i'm talking to you rapper is in prison. football player is in prison. there are many unknown activists that are in prison. even the family members of those killed are in prison. in bloody november 15, '00 people got killed. writ now i'm talking to you the mother of one of them, which was a symbol of iran protest, is in prison. why? because she said why did you kill my son? killing, torturing, taking hostage is in the dna of the islamic republic and why i get furious when we see people around the world saying the member of the national team didn't sing the national anthem. people are getting killed, are you kidding me? people are getting raped in iranian prison. it is not enough. we want fifa and the g7 kick out

and isolate the islamic public from every where. >> finally the united nations, 25 countries voted to have an investigation about the brutal response of the islamic public. finally they did. too late but it is a good step. another thing president macron recognized the uprising as it is, the revolution. he said that i'm happy to meet with the leaders of oppositions, which was a taboo for years and years. leaders of democratic countries don't want the talk about regime change. we are already talking about it. people in the streets already want to end the gender apartheid regime. all they want the g7 countries recognize the revolution, kick out the iranian officials and diplomats from the western countries. recall their ambassadors.

put the guards on the activity list, revolutionary guards are not only going after iranians they go after people in syria, yemen, in iraq and sending drones to putin to kill innocent ukrainians. >> dana: they have a good voice in you. thank you for coming on the show and keeping us informed and keeping those people there. >> thank you so much for having me. >> bill: elon musk might release information on twitter censorship of the hunter biden story. we're following the money on ftx, trying to. it is not easy. that's next. fecting that special place that you want to keep in the family... ...or passing down the family business... ...or giving back to the places that inspire you. no matter your purpose, at pnc private bank,

>> bill: court filings show 740 million in assets recovered so far, just a fraction of what could be billions of dollars missing from customer accounts after the ftx fallout.

kelly o'grady is tracking it today. what have we learned now? good morning. >> good morning. lawyers have their work cut out for them because this accusations of a pyramid scheme grow louder and questions on how customer money was used. lawyers are underscoring this. at last week's hearing they said there was substantial amounts of money spent on things that were not related to the business and organization that was run effectively as a personal five dome of sam bankman-fried. $3 hundred million of company funds was used to purchase real estate in the bahamas, homes and vacation properties for the company's senior staff. and so that's drawing questions what else the disgraced founder spent company funds on? we followed the money and found that ftx and affiliated companies funded 2 1/2 million to campaigns and boxed. with little to no record keeping the source of personal donations of 38.8 million are being

questioned and that's because company filings refeel the founder was the majority owner of dozens of companies. there was no auditing of these financial records. customer funds were not recorded on the balance sheet and that lack of controls allowing sam bankman-fried to essentially helm a slush fund deployed with little to no oversight. it will take months to nail down the digital paper trail and determine what money went where. bill, all while creditors wonder if they'll ever see a penny. >> bill: chances are getting smaller by the day. thank you. a story that seems to have no end in sight. thanks for that in l.a. >> dana: the biden administration accused of sacrificing safety in the sky pulling federal air marshals from aviation safety mission to help with the border crisis as the busy holiday travel season

gets underway. i'm dana perino. good morning. we did all right the first hour. >> bill: we're off and running again. takes a little bit to get sea legs under you. turkey was good? turkey trot was good. >> dana: harold ford junior also served ham. i appreciated it very much. i like a ham in addition to. best food i have had on thanksgiving dinner in a long time. >> bill: i like a drumstick. illegal immigration and border crisis might be the last thing on your mind heading home for the holidays and winter vacation for your family but security is telling air marshals to leave fewer undercover sky cops in the air. the head of the air marshal national council calling the move dangerous and reckless. >> i don't think the american people as they go to travel over the holiday season, i think they will all think the air marshals are on board their train
