sources say the woman at the check-in desk asked to see his smile so the shooter obliged, allowing a surveillance camera to capture his face without a mask. sources say he arrived in new york november 24 on a bus that originated in atlanta. greyhound saying we are fully cooperating with authorities on this active investigation. police are investigating whether the shooter left the city on a bus after the killing. early wednesday morning the suspect was seen with a backpack exiting the subway near the hilton hotel. he stopped at starbucks to buy water and a snack and eventually police say he waited for thompson, approached him from behind and fired several shots striking his target in the back and leg. he fled on a bike seen in this video about 15 minutes after the shooting 30 blocks north without that backpack. police sources say shell casings had the words deny, defend and depose echoing a 2010 book delay deny defend why insurance companies don't pay claims and what you can do about it.

earlier this year activists protested united health care in minnesota, accusing the company of greed pointing out thompson's $10 million compensation. >> today value based care is the center piece of our growth strategy. >> reporter: thompson, seen here in a 2023 health united investigator conference had been living separately from his wife for years and recently divorced. he was the father of two teen boys. his former hometown teacher remembering thompson for his work ethic. >> he was going to be a band player. he was going to be the best band player. if he was going to be a golfer he was going to be one of the better golfers. i just think that work ethic and drive probably set a good example for a loft kids. >> with the clear image of the shooter's face now and the forensic evidence detectives have gathered, police say it's just a matter of time before he's identified and caught. even, george, if he's no longer in the city. >> george: that's the only image we have of his face. >> it is. they are looking for every scrap of video. they have a lot.

they have him all over the city focused on the ten day period from november 24th to the day of the shooting december 4th. he was in a taxi. he went to mcdonald's, starbucks and paid cash and made sure to keep his mask on leading police to believe he knew he was coming to the city to commit this murder. >> george: meticulously planned. >> sure seems like it. >> george: okay, thank you very much. whit? >> whit: millions under snow and wind alerts as a blast of arctic cold sweeps across the country from the great lakes to the northeast. alex perez is in cleveland, ohio, for us with more. alex, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, whit. this is what so many in the great lakes are waking up to, snow as far as the eye can see. in some areas vicious winds are making getting around nearly impossible. this morning millions of americans remain under snow and cold alerts as winter weather impacts the eastern half of the u.s. >> is anybody ever ready? no one's ever ready for this.

i'm happy to be bundled up right now. >> reporter: in new buffalo, michigan, images like this lake effect whiteout. doorbell camera in western michigan capturing the rare weather phenomenon known as thunder snow. in erie, pennsylvania, the winter conditions intense and dangerous, causing car crashes and this jack knifed semi, trees down and the whiteout conditions practically unrecognizable. dozens of people working in harbor creek township, pennsylvania, to prevent a roof from collapsing at a fire department. and not so great news, the lake effect snow and these bitterly cold temperatures will be sticking around for many. rebecca? >> rebecca: we can feel the cold right through the camera. okay, alex. get some warmth over there. thank you. we're going to go to ginger now for the forecast from here. >> ginger: that arctic blast is 2 to 4 inches in northeastern pennsylvania where we have video from that happening. but then lake effect streamers that are coming in behind it.

we get that arctic air, you push it against the lakes which are still quite warm, you're going to make more snow. traveling i-80 or 81 up to watertown, that's something to watch for travel, especially this morning. those warnings go through tomorrow morning. not just there where the cold stops. mild weather by next week early next week. we're back to the 50s here. >> george: we'll take that. you're also tracking this earthquake off the coast of northern california? >> ginger: yes. this was a big deal everybody. i have in-laws there. this strong quake originated about 200 miles north and west of the san francisco bay. that's 30 miles off the coast. as nearly three dozen after shocks swelled, half million phones buzzed with tsunami warnings, refrigerators slid

across kitchens. but thankfully, everybody is safe. this morning california under a state of emergency as a 7.0 magnitude earthquake rocked northern california thursday. the largest quake in three decades. within two hours at least 35 after shocks rolled through. >> look at the second floor. >> ginger: cabinets jolting open, ceilings collapsing, bottles dropping to the floor. >> guys there's an earthquake. look at the pool. >> ginger: pools overflowing. >> i feel it. owe my god. >> ginger: and roads cracking. this is one of the most active parts of california. the shaking lasting several seconds, with many receiving urgent phone alerts shortly before the quake. >> it scared all of us and then it all started happening. everything from the shelves fell down and the lights started going. people fell down. >> ginger: there are several types of earthquakes but this was called a strike slip, slipping across each other. doesn't usually result in a big tsunami but they were careful

and i think did a great job and were able to process and get ready for what inevitably will happen in the future. lot of people listened very carefully to the alerts. >> whit: thankfully it wasn't in a populated area. thank you, ginger. now the trump transition. president-elect speaking in new york as his pick for defense secretary faces a battle on capitol hill trying to win support from republican senators. our chief white house correspondent mary bruce has the latest. mary, good morning. >> reporter: hey, whit, good morning. the president-elect overnight making rare public remarks since his win. he talked up his transition even as this morning another one of his cabinet picks is in danger of not surviving the confirmation scrutiny. overnight donald trump celebrating his election victory with supporters in new york touting his transition. >> i think you have seen more happen in the last two weeks than you've seen in the last four years. we're not even there yet. >> reporter: trump accepting an

award for patriotism from fox news. notably not mentioning the network's former host, pete hegseth. his embattled pick to lead the pentagon. >> i don't answer to anyone in this group. none of you. not to that camera at all. i answer to president trump. we've learned trump has expressed those close to him that hegseth should have been more forth coming. he now fends off allegations of sexual misconduct, excessive drinking and financial mismanagement. >> i'm a different man than i was years ago. that's a redemption story that i think a lot of americans appreciate. >> reporter: hegseth can only afford to lose the support of three senate republicans and still get the job. behind the scenes trump's team watching closely to see if he can win over female senators given allegations and hegseth' insistence that women should n't serve in combat. so far just two of the nine female republicans are on his side, marcia blackburn of

tennessee and katie britt of alabama. support of iowa senator ernst will be critical. she's the first combat veteran and survivor of sexual assault in the senate. so far she's not convinced. >> i think for a number of our senators, they want to make sure that any allegations have been cleared and that's why we have to have a very thorough vetting process. >> reporter: also making the rounds on capitol hill, billionaire elon musk and vivek ramaswamy, tasked to lead his outside advisory group on government efficiency, briefing lawmakers on their proposal to cut $2 trillion from the federal budget in two years. a plan with few details. overnight new filings show musk spent over quarter billion dollars of his own money to help trump win the white house. now pete hegseth isn't trump's only cabinet pick facing serious push back. this morning nearly 100 former

national security and intelligence officials in a letter are voicing real concern about tulsi gabbard for national intelligence. they are citing her inexperience and urging senators to carefully consider whether she's equipped for the job. george? >> george: mary, inside the biden white house, discussion of preemptive pardons for possible targets of the trump team. >> reporter: yeah, george. look, members of the biden administration are deeply concerned that donald trump is promising to make good on his promises of retribution of his political opponents. we have learned the president's senior aides are weighing preemptive pardons for those who they fear may be targeted including liz cheney, adam schiff, general mark mille and dr. fauci. this is all in an effort to try and protect these people before they have even been charged with any crime. >> george: mary bruce, thank you very much. rebecca? >> rebecca: we go to the economy and the new jobs numbers. elizabeth schulze is here with those details.

good morning, elizabeth. >> reporter: this report is critical for anyone who's on the job. 227,000 jobs were added to the work force in november. that is more than expected. that would be a big rebound from the dismal 12,000 jobs in october. hurricanes milton and helene and the boeing strike were key reasons for that slowdown. with most impacted workers back on the job, we are expecting to see strong hiring in hospitalally, manufacturing. big picture here, the unemployment rate at 4.2% still near historic lows. but employers aren't hiring at the super fast pace they did at the start of the year so it's taking a little longer to land a job. >> rebecca: the other major headline is this bitcoin headline, now trading above $100,000 for the first time, elizabeth. >> it has been a meteoric rise. the price of a single bitcoin going from $68,000 on election day to just above $100,000. that is up 51%.

investors are optimistic that the trump administration will take a friendly approach to our crypto currency. the president elect helped launch his own crypto adventure and made it a crypto supporter to lead the sec which is wall street's top watch dog. keep in mind this is a volatile investment. just as fast as prices go up, they can come back down. >> rebecca: euphoria always can breed volatility. thank you, elizabeth. whit? >> whit: all right, rebecca. we turn to a new study finding another apparent health benefit from ozempic. eva pilgrim is here breaking down how this could be linked to lower risks for dementia. this is fascinating eva. good morning. >> reporter: new information this morning adding to the growing body of evidence about the possible added benefits of glp-1's, the very popular weight loss drugs for reducing your risk of dementia. researchers asking the question, do all diabetes drugs reduce the risk of dementia or do the glp1's offer an additional benefit? this was a big study. they looked at half million

adults with diabetes over 60. there were two groups. those given glp1's and those given other diabetes medications. they followed them for five years. what they found, those on a glp1 reduced likelihood of developing dementia by 23% to 44% depending on which medication they were on. this isn't the first study to find these glp1's reduce the risk of dementia but this is more information that helps build the case about the additional benefits of these medications, george. >> george: thank you very much. football time now. lions beat the packers setting a franchise record. big weekend is coming up. will reeve is tracking it. good morning, will. >> will: good morning george. good morning one and all. since dan campbell started as head coach of the lions in 2021, he's led a remarkable turn around. lions went from being terrible to now an elite team in the nfl defined much like the city they play in by their grit and tenacity. the theme for this utterly thrilling game against division rival and super bowl contender green bay was, to put it in morning tv friendly language,

guts. too many touchdowns, too little time. go straight to the final minute of the game tied at 31. normally on fourth down you punt or kick a field goal if you're close enough. lions went for it on fourth down five times in this game. they go for it here on the packers 21 yard line. just the second time in 45 years a team has gone for it on fourth down in the final minute of a tie game inside the opposing team's 25 yard line. >> whit: you already knew that. >> will: that is an obscure stat and a wild move. why not kick the field goal? because if you get it, you control the clock and kick the winner as time expires, which is what happened. the rookie, we talked about him before. this time last year he was a brick salesman in houston. >> rebecca: wow. >> will: here he is drilling the game winner. lions win 34-31 their 11th straight win. >> george: you had about five different conditions to set up

that stat. >> will: a long lead in to that. >> george: it was. big college football weekend. >> will: huge implications for the new college football playoff format. four so called power conferences. each conference championship games featured a first year member. first year member hasn't won the conference championship in 20 years. so we could see history. there's another stat for you, george. [ laughter ] abc is the place to be. big 12 championship, sec championship at 4, acc championship at 8. >> george: you got my friday off to a good start. [ laughter ] >> will: there you go. i got your saturday set for you, all that college football. i know you'll be watching. coming up, notre dame cathedral set to open five years after the fire. james longman is there live, and shows us what to expect at the ceremony. >> rebecca: the new fbi warning about texting between iphones and androids. >> whit: and the woman who allegedly stowed away on a flight is due back to court this afternoon. first back to ginger. >> ginger: as a michigander i can't help but say go lions.

it's been a rough 40 years or so. okay. let's do some weather. we've got drought issues still across parts of the nation. nearly 44% of the country is in drought. we've seen some areas with improvement. in the northeast, the update from yesterday morning didn't show much improvement from the couple we've had. the pattern shift is welcome when it comes to moisture and probably warmth, but it's got a very active jet. we've had a lot of rain across the southeast. we'll keep looking for that. in the next seven days, 2 to 3 inches from central mississippi into birmingham, alabama, south of atlanta there, up appalachian and eventually by early next week into the northeast. and again that comes as temperatures go back into the 50s. local weather in 30 seconds.

>> george: we are covering the end of an era this morning. of course, that's taylor swift and her final eras tour stop. we'll tell you what's next and how her fans are celebrating even if they do not have a ticket. we'll be right back.

the world's most famous cathedral has never looked better. sunday our lady of paris will welcome worshippers once again. this has been europe's biggest restoration project in a generation. 2,000 specialists from carpenters and stonemaking to artists and metal workers. earlier this year we got a glimpse of the gleaming new stone, freshly laid tiles and revamped paint work. i was given a tour of the progress and spoke to the head of restoration. can you give us an idea how much this has cost so far? >> 700 million euros. >> reporter: more than 2,000 statues and decorative features were restored including 52 famous statues. last month three new bells arrived. one of them ceremony rung by the

street. 6,000 police over this weekend. it's a big moment for france. >> george: big moment for france. kind of a turbulent time in france as well. what's the mood like over there? >> reporter: yeah, it's extraordinary the timing here. the government is on the brink of collapse. emanuel macron is fighting for his political life. politics might be polarizing, but this reopening is a moment of unity, something everyone can get behind. george? >> george: thank you, james. rebecca? >> rebecca: it is really something to see there. we're going to turn to the alleged stowaway who appeared from the u.s. to paris appearing in court charged with intentionally sneaking onto that flight. stephanie ramos is here. >> a 57-year-old has been charged in federal court in new york city with knowingly and intentionally stowing away on a flight from the u.s. to paris. she slipped on to the flight without a boarding pass. she managed to access the flight through the crew line, special area typically reserved for pilots and flight attendants. tsa said she bypassed the

document check but was screened with other passengers for prohibited items. the big question is how she slipped through that security gap. flight attendants only discovered her once the plane was air borne when they questioned her boarding pass and found it didn't match her name. a few days later in this tense moment when officials were getting ready to send her back to the u.s., she begged not to return. we don't know why. she was so unruly though they took her off that plane. this incident is raising serious concerns about security there at airports, especially during the busy holiday season. authorities are investigating how this could happen, as the holiday travel rush has airports packed. a judge has ordered dolly's detention until this afternoon while she works on her bail. but she has yet to enter a plea, guys. >> whit: still so many questions about this case. stephanie, thank you very much. coming up next, taylor swift's eras tour is wrapping up. fans aren't ready for it. we'll tell you how to watch if you can't be there, and surprises that she could unveil.

the inbound bus originated in atlanta but it's not immediately clear where the suspect boarded, somewhere on that i 95 corridor. the ten day period is the focus of investigative efforts now. police have collected a ton of video of the suspect all over the city. he's in the subway, cabs, starbucks, mcdonald's. each place he paid with cash and made sure to keep his mask on which indicates to detectives he knew that he was coming to the city to commit the murder. the suspect likely checked into the hostel, checked out, then checked back in november 30. it's not clear when the surveillance image was captured. but the check-in clerk asked the suspect to lower his mask so she could see his smile. the shooter obliged. but this was more than flirtatious. the desk clerk is required to match a guest's face with a photo i.d. the suspect checked in under a fake name, using a new jersey driver's license. but, guys, if it's not for this desk clerk, police may still not have such a clear image of the killer's face.

they also can develop more of an insomnia at the beginning of the night because they might be trying to go to bed earlier than their body wants. >> reporter: but it is possible to change your natural rhythm. >> you can train yourself to be a little more of a night person or a little more of a morning person. >> it's not your fault and it doesn't mean you're lazy. it doesn't mean that you can't succeed. it means you have to put in a little more effort to find a routine that works for you. >> so how can you alter your chronotype? experts say changing your regular waking, eating and exercise times and keeping them consistent is one way to shift your chronotype. but the doctor says do it gradually. you don't want the changes to be abrupt. kind of like you traveled over a few time zones. also, you can work with your chronotype. emily, our mom and teacher from the piece, says if she's out at night with friends, she tries not to be the driver because she gets sleepy. guys, remember the last time we
