then tell us what happened. >> yes, so we all gathered in the break room in order to just figure out what department we're all going to be in, what section we'll be working in basically and basically as soon as my team said, all right, we have a light night tonight, i looked up and my manager opened the door, and he just opened fire. he wasn't aiming at anybody specifically. he didn't -- yeah, he just literally started shooting throughout the entire break room. i watched multiple people just drop down to the floor, whether they were trying to duck for cover or they were hit. he just opened fire. he looked directly at me but he luckily missed my head by like an inch or two. >> oh, my goodness. was he saying anything? >> no, that's the weird thing. he didn't say a word. he didn't say anything at all. i literally hadn't seen him before that point. he just came around the corner and he just started shooting. the first person that was in his eyesight, he shot him down and the next thing you know he started going throughout the entire break room. he did not say a word, no, sir. >> what can you tell us about the manager? had he given any indication this might happen? >> i'm not going to lie. i've only been there two months.

when i first started, i did hear he was the manager to look out for because there was al something going on with him just having an issue with someone, but i never expected it to get to this level of an issue. like, i don't know of anything that had happened recently for him to just overflow with these emotions. but, yeah, he was the manager that everybody, you know, had something -- had something to say about pretty much. >> nothing like this? >> no, no, nothing at all. i would have never thought that he would do something like this, absolutely not. especially when like i said we were all literally just getting to our shifts. the night hadn't even started yet. we all clock in at 10:00 and by 10:12 they were calling the police saying he had started shooting. >> briana, i'm so sorry. thank you for sharing your story. our hearts are reaching out to everyone in your community. we're glad you're okay. thanks very much. >> thank you. no problem. thank you. >> goodness, all right, george, thank you.

reported a shocking 613% rise in hate speech against the lgbtq community. now, they're saying that is being parroted by politicians, social media influencers and they're concerned it will spur additional violence. robin? >> a lot of concern about that. thank you, matt. george? we turn to thanksgiving getaway. aaa predicts 55 million will travel to their destination for the holiday nearly equally pre-pandemic levels. transportation correspondent gio benitez is live at o'hare airport in chicago. good morning, gio. >> reporter: hey, george, good morning. you can see how packed it is here at o'hare. without a doubt, this is the busiest travel season in almost three years. let's take a look at what we are seeing at airports across this country from right here in chicago, of course, to new york, to minneapolis. about 5 million people traveling by air despite those ticket prices soaring 43% higher than last year. now, here in chicago we were able to go inside the united airlines command center where they are tracking every flight.

so far things are looking pretty smooth across the country because there's no severe weather affecting those major airlines, but if that changes, the people in this room go into overdrive and they start rerouting planes. now, we also spoke to their social media team. so many people, of course, they reach out for help on social media when they need something but tell us if you do have any problems, don't do that. the best thing you can do grab your phone, download that airline app in advance before your flight and use that to make any changes and reach out to someone. that's going to be the fastest way to reach someone. michael? >> all right, gio, thank you for that advice. we see it's very busy behind you at the airport. we'll go to the roads because today is expected to be the busiest travel day of the week by car and demarco morgan is there. >> reporter: michael, imagine the nightmare driving the busiest day of the season.

aaa saying 3.9 million travels in southern california will get to their destination by car. our affiliate helicopter hovering above looking at the roads. not even record-high gas prices are keeping people out of their vehicles. as of today the average price of gas in los angeles is $5.21. nationwide the average standing at $3.61. that's down 13 cents within the past week, but up more than 20 cents from a year ago. the best advice if you haven't walked out the door just yet, get out now. try to leave before 11:00. michael, back to you. ginger is now here to tell us about the weather when you get to your destination.

>> we looked back in maps because i said i don't think it's been this quiet in a long time. at least a decade. we have not seen it this quiet across the nation leading up to thanksgiving. so that's great news, right? that is something to take away. atlanta, georgia, this morning from our earth cam looks really nice. you will eventually see rain for black friday in the southeast which i'll get to. here's some trouble spots that will develop. we can't stay blemish-free the entire weekend. that wouldn't be possible. go from tyler, texas. that is thursday morning so thanksgiving in northeast texas could be a little wet. then the thunderstorms and some will be on the edge of severe. so right through, say, northern louisiana, shreveport over to jackson. new orleans gets it late thursday night into early friday and then there's that georgia part. by the time another low gets up to the northeast, we will have rain by sunday. so that return trip could be a little wet but nothing astounding. >> no. >> how rare do i say that? >> you look astounded as you say it. thank you, as always. we turn to the latest on the breaking news overnight. two explosions in jerusalem leaving one dead, 15 injured.

our chief foreign correspondent ian pannell is tracking the very latest on what we know and the urgent manhunt underway right now. good morning, ian. >> reporter: good morning, robin. israeli police are describing the two explosions as a suspected coordinated terror attack. both blasts happened near bus stops targeting morning rush hour commuters. hundreds of police and border guards are now working with security forces in a massive manhunt and also to check for further devices. tensions were already high in the area after months of raids in the occupied west bank. multiple attacks in israel targeting civilians. now, today these have been stabbings and shootings, but a bombing attack like this hasn't been seen in israel for more than ten years and marks a significant escalation by palestinian attackers and with the most right wing israeli government currently being formed under benjamin netanyahu there are real fears that the violence could escalate on both sides. robin? >> ian, thank you so much. george?

we'll get the latest now on donald trump. the supreme court rejected his request to keep his tax returns from congress clearing the way for their release after years of delays. senior national correspondent terry moran reports from the supreme court. good morning, terry. >> reporter: good morning, george. a big defeat for donald trump here at the supreme court. and it means that democrats in the house of representatives will finally get to scrutinize six years of trump's personal tax returns as well as the returns of some of his businesses, as well. the court finally bringing to an end this epic three-year legal battle between house democrats and trump. the court issuing an unsigned brief order with no public dissents from any of the justices, including the three appointed by trump himself. this case began when democrats in the house ways and means committee said they needed to see trump tax returns in order to make sure that the laws concerning irs audits of presidential returns were working properly. the supreme court says that's a legitimate legislative purpose and so trump must comply. but trump and republicans say this is nothing more than a

democratic fishing expedition. in social media posts trump said this is, quote, a fishing expedition, that it's ridiculous, and, quote, that it creates a terrible precedent for future presidents. the house ways and means committee should get these returns within a few days. it's possible some of what's in them will be made public, but the clock is tickings. republicans take over the house of representatives in just a few weeks and they have made clear they intend to conduct their own investigations into president biden. george? >> okay, terry, thanks very much. robin? and let's get now to the world cup, george. one of the biggest upsets ever at soccer's flagship event. this as the u.s. gets ready for its next match. will reeve is in doha with more for us. good morning, will. >> reporter: good morning, robin. tomorrow is thanksgiving in the u.s. but today is an unexpected holiday in saudi arabia after they pulled off one of the most shocking upsets in world cup history. they're ranked 51st in the world and they beat leo messi and

ranking number three, argentina, 2-1. the saudi players going wild in the locker room postgame. their fans at home and here in doha celebrating as well. the u.s. men's national team had a family barbecue last night. today and tomorrow all about preparing for that massive game against england friday. check out timothy weah scoring that tying goal. that's in that game against wales. none other than pele, congratulating him on instagram. a reported 12 million watched that first game in the states. that number is going to be way, way bigger on black friday against england. guys? >> you'll be right there. will, thank you. coming up, we have the latest from that college town in idaho that's on edge as police say they've received information that one of the victims may have had a stalker as they piece together new videos coming from the public. and the fbi now joining the investigation in the mysterious death of an american tourist at a mexican resort. first, let's go back to

ginger. >> as they clear the roads now we're seeing pictures like this. >> now you bring it to us. >> with the truck and has -- don't do that. don't drive around with that. that flies back and hits people. we wanted to mention you'll see some natural melting. we will see quite the warm-up into the 40s with those spots with five to six feet of snow and rain on top of that. friday 3:00 p.m. a lot of people trying to travel 80 or 90. that is going to be a little more messy, but really not terrible going into the end of thanksgiving weekend. let's get your local weather now in just 30 seconds.

♪ i think it's gonna be a long ♪ we're back on "gma" with the talented actor we know from "silicon valley," "the big sick."

kumail nanjiani is taking on the true story of male revue founder steve banerjee in "welcome to chippendales." it's fun and you say you had to do it? >> i had to do it because it's based on a true story. we all know what the chippendales are. people don't know the guy who founded it was an immigrant from india and the story behind it is wild. there are multiple murders. there's arson, a lot of wild stuff happened the first like ten years of chippendales. >> sometimes the truth, right, they say is stranger than fiction? >> if you wrote this, nobody would believe it. they'd be like it's too much. there are so many specific strange things that happened and i don't really get the chance to play people who are like bad guys, you know, so that's why i was like, i have to do it. >> we have to see it. everybody, here's a look. >> no, we are not doing it.

>> look, steve. >> no, you look. i am the boss. this is my club and you are my employee. you are all my employees. is that clear? is that clear? go. >> kumail, why so angry? >> it's very early in the morning to be yelling that much. you know, it's me and murray bartlett who plays nick de noia and he's the creative director of the place and i'm the money guy and i -- the conflict happens because we both think that we own chippendales and -- >> power struggle. >> power struggle and i don't want to spoil too much but everybody is dead. >> oh, okay. well, there you have it. [ laughter ] is it really true you had never seen -- i guess this doesn't totally shock me. you had never seen a chippendales show.

>> no, but now i've seen 500 performances because we shot so many of them and that energy, you know, because we have like these background extras and tell them don't make any sound. you can't make any sound but every time rip the pants off you'd hear, oh, a gasp. i'm like, you've seen this 40 times earlier today. why are you surprised every time? >> that's the move that's the crowd pleaser. >> every time they would yell "cut," the energy would explode. i see why it was such a hit. the energy was very intense every day. >> i love this. your energy about it is contagious. i cannot wait to dive in here. >> i love doing the show and got to work with the best actors i've ever worked with. murray bartlett, juliette lewis is in it. we had a great time making the story of a guy things. >> i want to do a throwback. ten years it's been since you guest starred on "veep." was that experience career

changing? >> it really was. you know, they were like, you have an audition for "veep," season 2. okay, i'll go audition. i walked in and julia louis-dreyfus is sitting there. hey, nice to meet you. we sort of improvised and then as soon as i walked out i was like, that went pretty well and they called me like within ten minutes, hey, come do -- do an episode of "veep" and changed my life and led me to doing "silicon valley" and i'm still friends with her and did a speech when she got the mark twain award. i did that, so it's just lovely when you meet someone who is like a genuine hero who turns out to be lovely. >> kind of like you. truly. truly. if you haven't seen him on "snl" go back and watch it. your monolo . you. you're very kind. >> thank you for being here. if everybody wants to check it out, i recommend it. it's called "welcome to chippendales" and you can see it on hulu. we'll take it to ginger.

♪ you know our next guest ♪ you know our next guest from movies like "the social network" and "zombieland." now jesse eisenberg is starring in a mini series "fleishman is in trouble." let's take a look at a clip. >> can i get instagram? everyone has it. >> we've answered this before. no social media until you're 13. >> everyone. >> hanna, you don't even have a phone.

it's not for goods and anxiety. your brain is still developing. >> let's not talk about it. >> excuse me. we already talked about. >> how about my anxiety that everybody is on it and leaving me out. >> she has a point. >> yeah? >> just can't win. jesse, good morning to you, my friend. >> good morning. >> thank you for being here, man. this is based off a novel of the same name. went on to become a "new york times" best-seller but i heard you almost didn't read it because of a misunderstanding. what was that? >> yeah, yeah, no, i heard the brilliant writer on these podcasts that i listen to talking about her book, this was like, you know, three years ago, two years ago and it sounded amazing so i bought the book then i heard some other, you know, review or something about it and it described the book as what i thought was like a book about celebrity culture. i misunderstood it. it's not about celebrity culture, but taffy is like the great chronicler of celebrities so i put the book down because i have a phobia of reading anything in my field based on irrational

insecurity so i put the book down and they said you should read this script. oh, i thought that was about -- no, you're wrong. stop being scared of everything and i read the script and read the book. >> stop being scared of everything. in the show you and claire danes, she's your co-star, you have a tumultuous complex relationship as a married couple but off set you bonded in a special way like dodgeball. >> we did an unusual rehearsal process playing a married couple married for 15 years and then go through this horrible divorce and so one of the kind of unusual things we did to kind of just get into the spirit of this, you know, tumultuous relationship was, yes, play a game of dodgeball. we have like a very contentious relationship but i did not want to have a contentious game of dodgeball because, you know, physical. it can hurt and can hurt. but it was kind of helpful like as an actor you do all sorts of like weird, you know, inexplicable things and

sometimes it can be helpful and some strange ways. >> you say you're most comfortable playing the anti-hero. >> yeah, it's interesting like this show, it starts off from my perspective. you think it's the story of this like put upon guy whose wife disappears in the show my wife, who claire danes play, disappears and drops the kids off and i can't find her and you think about this put upon sympathetic guy but you realize from her perspective he's not what the audience initially thinks of. yeah, i feel kind of most comfortable in that mode just because i don't know why. i guess, you know, as an actor it's more interesting to play the darker characters, but also i guess i have all this guilt around having such a nice cushy job i think maybe i offset some of that guilt by playing a character that no one likes. >> and in real life you're married, happily married in real life and heard your wife gave you some great advice when it comes to choosing which roles you should take.

>> yeah, especially like this with show my wife loved it. she's like, you know, in so many stories like men are seen as sympathetic and like pitiable for doing normal domestic things like you see a guy washing the dishes and you think what an amazing guy and my wife told me, like, that is absurd and you should push back against that. that's what the show does so well. you think that as an audience what an amazing guy just watching his kids for an hour which is not something you would ever think of if a woman was doing it. that's what the show pushes back on as well. >> i love that. i love her advice. >> yeah, yes, she was correct and, you know, she loves the show for that reason, you know, it really kind of in some ways like pulls the rug out from under the audience and shows the other perspective. >> the show is fantastic. you are fantastic. thank you for coming back.
