men's club and the woman put on more clothes. just saying. there would be some upset gentlemen. just a minute ago you said i lived in the bronx zoo or something! did you want etiquette? we don't have etiquette in that zoo! >> kayleigh: do you feel unleashed because wokeism lost an election? >> jimmy: it lost bad, that's the point. you can't offend the audiences in this country. believe me, i've tried everything. see to is so exciting, jimmy. everyone buy your tickets now. the tillis center is awesome. it'll be tape for fox nation for those of you that can't make it pay but we know most of you can. we are excited for you. thank you all for watching "outnumbered" today. when you can't watch this before, make sure to dvr. now here is "america reports." >> brian thompson, the 50-year-old male, on the sidewalk in front of the hilton

with gunshot wounds to his back and leg. >> every indication is that this was a premeditated, preplanned, targeted attack. the suspect was lying in wait for several minutes. many people past the suspect, but he appeared to wait for his intended target. >> the shooter appears to be a light-skinned male, wearing a light brown or cream colored jacket, a black face mask, black and white sneakers, and a very distinct of gray backpack. >> we will not rest until we identify and apprehend the shooter in this case. >> john: fox news alert, the manhunt underway new york city this hour after the parent targeted killing of unitedhealthcare ceo brian thompson him and to in midtownmanhattan. i'm john roberts in washington. this is a big mystery, center. looks like it might've been a targeted hit. >> sandra: absolutely crazy story. we are following every detail of it. good to be with you. i'm sandra smith to new york city. this is "america reports."

police say the suspect arrived about 5 minutes before the ceo arrived. he arrived in a suit and the shooter shot him from behind and killed him. the gunmen then fled on an e-bike. >> john: alexis mcadams has the latest. it was quite a news conference that they had a short time ago. >> hi, john. it was a lot more information than i thought we are going to get, but i'll start off with something new. i had a chance to look at some new surveillance video that was taken right outside this hilton where it all unfolded. it shows that suspect that walked up with a silencer on his gun. that's one of the things they asked about. in the video clip you can clearly tell there's a silencer on the gun. he walks up just within reach distance to the ceo, pulls it out, and shoots him in the back. then the guy falls to the ground, this poor man who is just in town for a business meeting, and he shoots him again. so that is just new surveillance video we are working to try and get and see if we can get that clip. but i saw it off a cell phone

here by someone who was out at the scene. i'm going to step out of the way so you can look at what's going on right now. we will move up a little bit and you can see what's going on with the surveillance area. they've got the nypd crime scene unit out here. you can see the loading signs on your left side. that is where the ceo was when he was shot and killed earlier. there is an all-out manhunt right now to look for the person who is wearing a mask and gloves and armed with a gun, who killed this executives, brian thompson. he was only 50 years old, ceo of unitedhealthcare. that's one of the nation's largest health insurers, and he was gunned down while visiting midtown manhattan for work. we just heard from the nypd a short time ago, they said he was waiting and waiting outside of that hotel. people walking by him, that gunmen, before he shot this man in the back and shot him in the leg. listen. >> what we know is that the shooter arrived at the location on foot about 5 minutes prior to the victim's arrival. we believe the victim was headed to the hilton hotel to attend

the unitedhealth group investors conference that was scheduled to start at 8:00 a.m. the motive for this murder is currently unknown, but based on the evidence we have so far, it does appear that the victim was specifically targeted. >> one of the things that has been in some reporting that's been coming out is that people have been reaching out, reporters and different groups can include fox news, reaching out to the family of the ceo to find out if there have been threats in the past few days as he was coming here for this unitedhealthcare conference. his wife was able to tell one of the reporters from nbc news that there have been different threats coming in. so who was he in town with? did he have security? back out here live we can tell you we do not have that information. they served a search warrant inside the nearby hotel where he was staying. he wasn't staying at the hilton where he was shot, he was just heading over there for work. also, in terms of this manhunt, this is the busiest time to be in new york city, so they're going to the rockefeller tree

lighting, shopping, and they're hearing there's a manhunt for a murderer who took off on a citibank wearing a. mask and wearing that backpack. they don't know where he went but they working citibank wearing a. with >> john: alexis, thank you. the seem to be a targeted shooting. the question is, was this a professional shooting or someone who had some sort of beef against the ceo? >> sandra: the top of "the new york post" is now reporting, per nbc news, that the wife is now speaking for the first time since this happened this morning, looking for her name -- paulette thompson said they had been some threats, that they were getting threats before he was gunned down this morning. she said, basically, "i don't

know," in response to why this happened and why this person chose to take her husband's l life. "i don't know, a lack of coverage?" she asked the question, john. see you in a lot of people clearly have beef against the health care industry for various reasons. we don't know if it was related to that or if it might be something else. an intriguing mystery and obviously throwing shock waves through the of new york on this day when tens of thousands of people will be gathering in rockefeller center for the tree lighting ceremony. >> sandra: i want to finish up here, per nbc news she said further, i can't give a thoughtful response right now. i just found this out and i'm trying to console my children. you can imagine how currently difficult time this is for that family, john. >> john: we will keep watching this for any new developments. this is probably going to move pretty quickly. we will have something for you momentarily. now this. >> to allow them to make a decision that will affect not only the entire course of the development physically, psychologically, and reproductively, is completely

ridiculous. and it's okay to allow your child to experience this discomfort, because it is normal to experience discomfort going through puberty. everybody goes through it. >> sandra: you probably recognize her by now. she's been outspoken. she is a detransitioner. her name is chloe cole. she spoke today from d.c. were a landmark case lands on the supreme court docket. the highest court hearing arguments on seating reassignment surgery's reminders, restrictions on puberty blockers and hormone therapy for children, and the tennessee law that bans those very treatments. the governor of tennessee sign that bill into law. first let's get to shannon bream, live outside of supreme court. hi, shannon. >> hi, sandra. i stepped out moments ago from the arguments as they wrapped up, slated for an hour, lit for two and a half. it shows you how much the justices are grappling with this very difficult controversial topic. there are hundreds of people out here demonstrating. they had been here for hours in

the cold one to make the thoughts known on both sides of the issue. most of the justices, the six who are republican appointees, we heard from five of them, and tough questions for both sides but also seemed to indicate they think this was in tennessee's preview. this was about radicalizing the medical profession, they said there's a state interest in making sure people are treated in a medically responsible manner. justice kavanaugh was among those who asked the question and cited a number of studies and decisions in europe there's been a pause on many of these treatments for minors. and questions on whether the risks and the benefits, which outweigh witch. that came out quite a bit today. the three democratically appointed justices had a lot of really tough questions and talked about, there are kids that come in for them, this may help them avoid suicide and depression and taking way that

option. the justices debated, it should be left to tennessee. half the states have similar laws as tennessee does, and others that are way more permissible with these treatments. many of the justices seemed to think this is left to the states. people are very passionate about that out here today. we will not wait. it could be weeks or months until we get to a decision. all we knew is it is due by the end of june. >> sandra: a lot of action on a chilly afternoon in washington, d.c. john? >> john: let's dig deeper on this by talking with the republican tennessee governor, bill lee. good to have you here come the governor. appreciate it. the country is pretty split on this, strongly favor or somewhat favor 33%, 40%. the pose or oppose, 90% and 32%. so the country is pretty evenly divided. why do you think it's important for this law to be upheld?

>> it's not political to me. it's not about right versus left. that it's reasonable versus radical, and at the very least reasonable versus real risk. we should not be performing life altering, permanent procedures on children that have such enormous applications for their life. we have seen countries across the world change their view on this and ban these procedures in europe in 20 states in america. so it really is about the protection of children, and the fundamental responsibility we have to protect kids. >> john: you brought up europe. proponents used to say, look at europe, there are way ahead of us on this and they know what

they doing. but as you pointed out, they have turned about face on this. a landmark report said in part, "the remains a diversity of opinion of how best to treat these children and young people. the evidence is weak and clinicians have told us they are unable to determine with any certainty which children and young people will go on to have an enduring trans identity." and is from the national health service in the u.k. "we have concluded there is not enough evidence to support the safety or clinical effectiveness of puberty suppressing hormones to make the treatment routinely available at this time." so europe is looking at the science and saying, put the brakes on it, we are going too fast. in america there are some people that say -- and we will talk to one of them next hour, whistle-blower statute says this is not about science. it's about advocacy and act activism. >> the evidence for benefit is very weak, and the evidence for

harm is increasingly becoming very real. we have seen that more and more with young people who have been through these procedures, and their families have deep regret for going through them. i think where we are, we are in a position in this country where the science is showing that this is not something there's no benefit that this is of benefit for kids. there's a reason why our attorney general presented the argument before the supreme court today and why we believe that states should have the deciding factor, that the people should be able to decide through their elected officials where they stand on this really important and very serious issue. >> john: so the opposition in this is really talking about this in terms of medical procedure.

they're talking about it in terms of constitutionality. and this being sex's coronation. here's what the aclu lawyer said about this. "this is a law that bans medical treatment only when it is prescribed and consistent with an individual's sex. our argument is that it treats people to file because of their sex and therefore the court has to treat it like all other forms of sex to summation and that's why it's unconstitutional." >> the argument is that this is not at all about discrimination based on sex. this is a law based on purpose. the purpose for these trea treatments. and the purpose is no different whether it is male or female. that was part of the argument today, that this is not an issue that should be decided by the court based on constitutionality, because it doesn't discriminate based on sex. this is an issue on purpose, and that is why it is an issue that should be determined by states

through the legislative process and not an issue for the supreme court to take up. that is why the sixth circuit upheld our law and then it was challenged to the supreme court. >> john: we will see what happens when the supreme court considers that it comes out with a decision. we won't know for a number we weeks. welcome to washington. i know you're heading back home to the great state of tennessee. >> i'll be back in tennessee soon. >> john: we have jamie reed pointing down at coming up. she was a whistle-blower who worked at a gender treatment clinic and says that this is what our activism has supplanted science, and people didn't consider the mental state of a lot of these patients before they went ahead and said let's go with the gender treatment. let's see what she has to say. >> sandra: safe to say this is a story so many americans were watching, and leading up to election day, something people tell very passionately about as they saw so many of the stories unfolding all over the country, john. >> john: what is really

interesting about this story on this issue is that it affects an infinitesimal percentage of the american population, but it garners emotional responses which are exponentially larger than the number of people involved here. it is such a radical treatment. >> sandra: very emotionally how she's told her story and we look forward to that whistle-blower from the clinic joining us shortly on this program. now this. >> there was another way this could have been done, but put yourself on that same subway car. the average person want some help. common citizens came en masse to assist people who didn't have the ability to protect themselves. speak to a jury is now weighing with a former marine daniel penny should be convicted in the choke hold death of a homeless man on a new york city

>> were on the subway, overhearing someone talking about hurting people, killing people. you have someone on the subway who was responding. doing what we should have done as a city and a state of having a better mental health facility. those passengers were afraid. >> john: new york city mayor eric adams defending daniel penny as jury

deliberations and his manslaughter trial continue for a second day. cb cotton live outside the courthouse with the latest for us. cb? >> hi, john. so far the jury has passed two significant notes, the latest of which asking three large video evidence which includes the widely circulated video taken by independent journalists -- an independent journalists from mexico who testified in court that he thought the encounter was out of the ordinary and should be documented. jurors also asked to see the nearly 30 minute video where he waived his miranda rights and didn't know jordan neely had died. they also asked for police body camera video which shows penny speaking with officers as first responders tried to resuscitate neely. yesterday jurors asked the judge to reread his instructions on how the law applies to the crime, and details on the justified use of force.

eyewitnesses say neely is hurling threats on the subway last year before penny placed him in the choke hold. prosecutors are arguing biden he took things too far and in closing reminded jurors they only have to decide whether penny acted recklessly. the defense in its closing said prosecutors haven't proven that penny's choke hold was the direct cause of neely's death and that several subway riders testified they were relieved when penny stepped in. oregon house representative elect to help disarm a terrorist on a train from amsterdam to paris in 2015, with his take. >> i try to restrain him so he could go to the police station or mental health care hospital, and he accidentally died for whatever reason. maybe it was the choke hold, maybe it was something else. i'm not going to speculate. regardless, this case should have never been brought. this is how anyone in his

situation would have and probably should have acted. >> so penny faces up to 15 years in prison if convicted on the most serious charge, second-degree manslaughter. john? >> john: we wait and see what the jury comes up with. cb cotton, thank you. >> sandra: congressman jared moskowitz now the latest to join the republican led caucus for the department of gupta, government efficiency, the agency led by elon musk and vivek ramaswamy, seeking to cut federal funding. the florida congressman joins us now. why is this a republican idea that you are on board with? >> well, a broken clock can be right twice a day. in all seriousness, does anyone think government is perfect? is there any american who says government is perfect, don't touch it? obviously there are ways you can make government more efficient. there's ways we can save money. the pentagon hasn't passed an audit and seven years. i think the department of

homeland security has become too big. we see issues within fema and secret service and i think a lot of that has to do with the giant bureaucracy over there. this is a conversation that's going to happen with or without democrats at the table. i think democrats should go have that conversation. what are we afraid of? we shouldn't just run to save space, we should run into the room and have this argument. it's going to be disagreements. i'm not going there because i'm going to agree with every idea they have, but where there is agreement, i think the american people express us to make them expect us to make the government more efficient and save taxpayer money. >> sandra: there are some who say this can't be done. that we see others go this way before, had big promises and big ideas and they just couldn't get it done. first, do you know if there any other democrats that are going to join the caucus? have you heard from any of them? >> there's going to be other democrats that join the caucus for the same reason i just highlighted. >> sandra: like to? >> i'm going to let them make their own announcements. when democrats had to

january 6th committee, republicans decided not to participate in that, and i think that turned out to be a strategic mistake. you don't leave vacuums anymore. donald trump has proven the way you communicate now is not to leave a vacuum. you go everywhere, you communicate everywhere. you don't let people tell their story for you. so i'm going to have the argument, the conversation, and where we disagree, if it's on social security or medicare, i'm going to push back. but if these agreements, we can find hundreds of billions of dollars to save the american people, we should make that a bipartisan issue. >> sandra: so we do know that some democrats have supported efforts to work on this. federal spending cuts, such as bernie sanders, ro khanna. i suppose, to your point, it's possible that others may follow suit. where do you know there is agreement right now across the aisle? >> i think everyone understands that you can't spend $7 trillion by taking in 5 trillion every year. the solution is they might be

discriminant somehow you get there. but we have to at least try and sit down and tackle the fact that we are spending $2 trillion more than we are taking in. that is not sustainable. we haven't had a balanced budget since bill clinton, so we have to figure out how we get back there. i think technology is another area that you can have agreement in. the federal government is not using anywhere near the level of technology that the private sector is using. i think you can bring in technology to make government more efficient. so there's definitely going to be ways in which you're going to see both parties come together on some ideas, and other areas, we are going to diverge. >> sandra: a couple things, this is joni ernst on how long this might take, d.o.g.e. listen. >> we are going to work on this for two years and then sunset the organization. so that means we have two get all these cuts down and identify waste within the federal government to make it more efficient. ct we've heard from lawmakers, now wall street. this is the bank of america ceo,

brian moynihan, on this cost-cutting mission. he said this. >> i'm confident they can get there but you have to do it in a rational fashion that ensures it sticks to the ribs. otherwise it'll come right back. you have to be more efficient, there's no question. you have to do it carefully so you don't disrupt service. i wouldn't worry about the economic impact is much as i'm worried about making sure the core services operate. that the regulatory authorities run properly. >> sandra: it feels like there's real momentum here. why shouldn't they be? you look at this d.o.g.e. post comparing taxpayer dollars, into a 23 alone illegal immigration costs to taxpayers $150 billion paid put that into context with what world war i cost. the apollo space program, the manhattan project, panama canal, hoover dam. it seems like it's going be a lot of public support for this. maybe you're on the right side of things. final thought?

>> i think he said it the best way, this can be done. it should be done but it's got to be done rationally. that's why i want to be in the room, because i think there is a rational way to get there. we're not going to all the sudden start illuminating services that americans depend on. can we save the money, can we do it more efficiently? i think the answer to that is yes. >> sandra: i appreciate you coming on. we will follow-up with you on that. thank you. >> you got it. >> i think republicans want to say it escapes from the lujan lab. i don't think we have the proof there. >> john: democrats still pushing back on the republican house select committee report that covid emerged from a laboratory leak. why are they so unwilling to entertain that theory? katie pavlich on deck to react coming right up. >> sandra: good to see katie. plus the fbi investigating mysterious drones hovering over new jersey including the county attempt president-elect trump's golf club. so what do we know about this right now? just ahead.

♪ ♪ >> sandra: president-elect trump's cabinet nominees seeking support again on capital l, hill. aishah hasnie is there live for us. hello, aishah. >> center, good to see you. all eyes on pete hegseth, creating quite a bit of commotion here on capitol hill as he takes meetings to try to gain more traction and support from the senators that are so critical for him to get confirmed. as of about 20 minutes ago, he told reporters that he is not withdrawing his name. he says he spoke with president-elect trump, and trump told him to keep fighting. watch. >> that's what donald trump asked me to do. "your job is to bring a war fighting ethos back to the pentagon. your job is to make sure it is lethality, lethality, lethality. everything else is gone." everything else that distracts from that shouldn't be happening. that's the message i'm hearing from senators and that advise

and consent process. >> that process continues today and it is a critical day for hegseth. he met with john thune, roger wicker, and he will also meet with senator joni ernst. she is a sexual assault survivor and a female combat veteran. he needs her support as he faces allegations of sexual assault, which he denies, and that women should not be in combat. meanwhile multiple sources are telling us that president-elect trump is considering replacing hegseth with florida governor ron desantis. we are told they actually spoke about it in person at a memorial service in florida yesterday. but again, see 18 pushing back on that saying that trump is with him. we are also expecting to see scott bessent on the hill today, the nominee for treasury secretary. he's meeting with the top two in the g.o.p., john thune and john barrasso. he's expected to have a fairly smooth confirmation, so we will keep you posted on how things develop. >> sandra: we know you will,

aishah. live on the hill for us. john? >> john: the republican led house select committee releasing their report on the origins of covid. it concluded that the virus came from a ladder leak. public health try to cover that up, and mandates for masks and social distancing were not backed by science. katie pavlich, fox news contributor and townhall.com editor, with us now. the report covers many things, but the overarching conclusion is the following. a lab related incident involving gain-ofgain of function researcy stomach most likely the origin of covid-19. this is incomplete, severely convoluted, and l lack global applicability. this is the final word? >> this will not be the final word given the extent of this. they spent 30 different hearings and meetings on this. this up to mike report's 500 pages long and there's a lack of accountability for the people who allowed this to happen. there's been a lack of

accountability for dr. anthony fauci because they don't want to make him liable for what happened even though he was granting taxpayer-funded money to eco-health, which was doing dangerous gain of function, frankensteining viruses in the wuhan lab. when the country was shutting down, that evidence of the intelligence community then, mike pompeo, for example, tom cotton, saying this likely came from a lab, and antennae thought she was saying we have to tamp down this narrative even though their emails showing from his own scientists inside of the nih that they thought it did come from the lab. of course that led to all kinds of different mandates and abuses of power, civil liberty violations. the list goes on and on, and of course the damage done to children. the stats on that are just outrageous. teenage girls ages 12-17, the suicide rate went up 51% as a result of the response to covid

under his leadership. >> john: yet here's what democrats are saying about this report. "there republican led select subcommittee on the coronavirus pandemic fueled extreme narratives, vilifying america's public health officials, scientists, and teachers instead of putting people over politics. select subcommittee republicans by semi prioritized probes over meaningful opportunities to prevent pandemics and save future lives." they've got the same mindset they had in the spring of 2020. despite so much evidence to the contrary. >> until republicans started looking into this, democrats had no interest in getting to the bottom of how covid-19 became a pandemic. there was no interest in holding the world health organization accountable for lying on behalf of the chinese communist party when they were warned by taiwan that this virus was coming. there's no accountability for the decisions that were made early on and then change. the mask mandate is a perfect example. they said masks don't work, publicly, and all of the sudden if you weren't wearing one on a plane or train or other mode of

public transportation, you and your family were thrown off of that transportation. it was illegal, essentially. the department of justice under joe biden, when a judge struck it down, continued to sue for the government to have that power. there's never any explanation from a number of these public health officials about why things change. people were just told to do what they wanted to without any accountability or real science behind their changes. not to mention the censorship that went on of other doctors. stanford doctors, the people inside the medical community, very legitimate, very credentialed, who were centered on facebook and big tech as a result of dr. fauci and his people inside these government agencies, demanding the censorship to save their own behinds. >> john: there is one democrat not running with the herd, and it happens to be rahm emanuel, who said, "in covid, the democrats put on the outside of the establishment. we are going to close schools, you're going to close these jobs.

you listen to the scientist and listen to the science. as both a child of a doctor and brother of a doctor, sometimes you need a second opinion." >> they were demanding people listen to the science while actually not following much of the science. we knew in june of 2020 that this disease affected the elderly. it was not a harm to children and the ways they scare them into thinking. we knew a lot of these mandates and lockdowns weren't working, including direct admissions by the governor of new york at the time. it was a big report and they're looking for accountability to prevent this kind of thing from happening again, both in a lab leak but also the response, which was just as damaging as the pandemic was. >> john: to make sure you get a big comfy chair and a nice cup of tea when you sit down to read it. it's going to take a while. great to see you. thank you so much. now this. >> you have to ask yourself, what is their intent? are they truly come here to realize the american dream or other bad actors mixed among them who have bad intent? >> sandra: migrant crime and

>> the motive for this merger currently is unknown, but based on the evidence we have so far, it does appear that the victim was specifically targeted. but at this point we do not know why. >> sandra: back to our top story, the manhunt underway and ongoing for a killer on the loose right here in new york city, last seen in central park. united health care ceo thompson

was shot dead on the street in midtown manhattan early this morning. the gunman is waiting for him. according to surveillance footage, for hours, outside of a hotel in what police he appears to be, as you just heard, a targeted attack. diabetic to gerry baker, we have been chatting away here. it's the story everyone is talking about. we basically awoke to the story this morning of a major health care ceo, one of the biggest health care companies in country, and we can't show it yet. we are working through the system right now to do so. but the surveillance camera of the actual crime is now out. you and i just watched it together. this appears to be -- i mean, you tell me in your own words what you saw there, but this was a critically targeted, deliberate, it appears, and the shooter appears to really know what he's doing in being calm

about it. >> it's a completely shocking cold-blooded murder. that's what it looks like. you and i talked about this, we live in new york city. we work right here in midtown manhattan, basically a couple blocks from where we work here in midtown manhattan. we are kind of use to it, unfortunately. crime has gotten worse here over the last two years. random acts, random criminal acts, random acts of violence. this looks like something differently. as you described that video very well, the guy walks up, shoots the ceo in the back in cold blood. a couple of times, seems to go over and say something or finish off the job. calmly walks away, and it's very shocking. >> sandra: these are some of the still images. after shooting the ceo in the back, that's part of the surveillance video that is a still image from it. just write out on the sidewalk, as the ceo is walking by, in a suit on his way to speak inside

that hotel at a conference today. the shooter walks up very calmly behind him and we are told that he was waiting for hours, which makes it the appearance of a very targeted. he shoots him and shoots again and again, then he walks up to him and we don't know because we can't hear, but either he shoots him again or he said something to him. he then walks and then runs across the street, and apparently gets on this bike and ride somewhere else in manhattan. and the manhunt is underway for him right now. this was the police chief in a news conference that happened a short time ago. he was asked a question by a reporter about, if the victim was traveling alone, and if he had any nonenemies. listen. >> was he accompanied by anybody? did he have any known enemies or anyone that you been able to find so far? >> we are reaching out to law enforcement in minnesota and we are also interviewing his coworkers and family members to see if there have been any

specific threats against him in the past. as far as who was he in the hotel with, we are doing a search warrant in his hotel room right now that might lead us to some more information. >> sandra: his wife has since spoken to nbc news and said she is aware of some threats that were made against her husband. she was asked if she knows of any reason why somebody would want to do this, and she said, "i don't know. lack of coverage?" she asked. then she said she needed to deal with her family as they are grieving. >> ceos are often subject to threats, some serious and some just kind of random crazy people who don't like what the company is doing. with health insurance you can imagine it is a particular issue because people are inevitably denied health coverage and that leads people to get very angry and to threaten. we have no idea, by the way, whether this is connected to that. i do think it is not part of the crime epidemic we have seen in new york, but it leads to that sense of insecurity that new yorkers feel. there is a real sense of -- that things are getting out of control in the city. after a long period when crime has been falling, the city has

been basically recovering, it's felt in the last few years that the law enforcement has not been very effective, partly because of prosecutors who don't prosecute certain types of crime. the entire climate here in the city, as with many american cities, in the last few years, has gotten notably worse. this creates that sense of really deepened insecurity and fear that people have. >> sandra: credible that we are reporting on this as these daniel penny deliberations are underway. we will see where that goes, and as we anticipate the rockefeller christmas tree lighting in that news conference. the police stepped up and said they are ramping up security and there will be lots of cops out on the street for the big tree lighting. gerry, great to see you. thank you so much. john? >> john: going to be a big event tonight. a billionaire democrat elected mayor of san francisco. how he plans to turn the tide on crime, drug use, and homelessness to head off a citywide doom loop.
