"usa today" says a texas judge blocked a rule that on would expand overtime pay and affects 4 million workers nationwide. the rule would require time and

it was due to start next month. 21 states are fighting to overturn the obama administration's rule. "the new york times" says that facebook has created a censorship tool to gain access to china's lucrative market. workers at facebook say the company has designed software to block posts from news appearing in people's newsfeed in geographic areas but so far not used. there is no indication that facebook has offered this software to authorities in china. reports on the perm nantz losing of a waterslide for a boy who was killed this past summer at schlitterbahn water park. the slide will be torn down when the investigation is complete. the son that died was a the son of a kansas lawmaker. a plane with mike pence was carrying him last month when it

york's laguardia. federal investigators say the plane floated nearly halfway down the runway before landing. no one was hurt. >> i remember he came here first that morning. he was right here. "the washington post" says that donald trump's charity admits to violating a ban on so-called self-dealing. the law says the charity's money cannot be used to benefit mr. trump or his family. it says tax filings in 2015 show the trump foundation checked yes when asked whether it transferred income or assets to a disqualified person and it it engaged in any acts of self-dealing in prior years. representatives from mr. trump did not respond to questions for comments about this. president-elect trump tells "the new york times" that government conflict of interest laws will not apply to him as president. he said under the law, he has no obligation to cut ties with his businesses. he also said the trump name, quote, is certainly a hotter brand than it was before. anna werner is outside of trump tower in new york city where the president-elect's outlook on his

good morning, anna. >> reporter: good morning. well, mr. trump, as we know, has business interests around the world. now the question is what will he do to separate his businesses from government? "the new york times" reporters quoted mr. trump as saying when it comes to conflicts of interest, the law favors him and that the president can't have a conflict of interest. but this law professor says that's not true. >> well, he is wrong because the president has an act in all things for america first in his words. >> reporter: brian quinn is from boston college. >> when there is the prospect, even the likelihood that his private business interests can affect his decision making, then it's hard for citizens to really believe in all things he is acting for america first and not for his own personal interests. >> reporter: donald trump's interests and businesses span 59 properties in at least 12 other

towers to golf courses to hotels. the organization has said management of his businesses will transfer to his children when he becomes president and on "60 minutes" he said his company is his priority. >> i don't think about hotel occupisy. >> reporter: but his transition activities have raised question. the president-elect was photographed at trump tower last week with three of his indian business partners while the trump camp later claimed it wasn't a exchange of hellos, it drew attention in india. >> it wasn't received much like the way it was here. >> reporter: an indian foreign policy expert with the brookings institution. >> it increased the visibility of the trump projects and eased indian partners within the india media. >> reporter: and ivanka trump's presence at the meeting with xi

they said that ivanka said hello to this man at the end of a call between the argentina leader and mr. trump last week. the trump team didn't return our request for a comment. "the new york times" reporters said mr. trump told them on tuesday if it were up to some people, i would never, ever see my daughter yvonivanka again. quinn says removing conflicts from mr. trump means separating himself from his businesses. >> merely turning over management of the businesses while he maintains a financial interest in all of them is not going to be sufficient to allay any sort of conflict. every dollar that gets invested or spent or raised by the business through sales is a dollar that goes into his pocket or some portion of it goes into his pocket even if his children are managing the business. >> reporter: now as we have said before, conflict of interest laws that affect other government employees do not apply to the president or vice president. that law professor says the constitution does set limits on

other compensation above his usual pay but the only people who can take action on that are members of congress through impeachment processes and in this case the members of congress as they control the congress. >> the most expensive destroyer ever built for the u.s. navy has broken down. the brand-new "uss zumwalt" reportedly lost propulsion yesterday in the panama canal panama. our david martin was on board that warship last month in maryland before it was put into service. the ship was headed to its home port in san diego when it broke down. the crew reportedly saw water intrusion in a mechanical system and some minor cosmetic damage. water intrusion on a boat? that is less than optimal. >> after paying $4.5 billion, you think it ought to work.

americans prepare for thanksgiving road trips, the federal lawmakers are demanding changes to vehicles safety regulations and calling for an investigation into carmakers. it's all of the result of an ongoing cbs news investigation into the strength of car seats. transportation correspondent kris van cleave has been exploring the concerns more than a year now. he found that seats can fail in rear-end crashes and lead to serious injuries, or death.

baby. >> reporter: three years later, hanna hastings still struggles to talk about the day she and her on eli were rear-ended in their 2002 escort. as this crash simulation shows the force of the collision caused hastings seat to collapse and launching her head-for the first time into her 15-month-old son. eli spent more than a month in the hospital suffering hearing loss and feeling on one side of his face. >> it's hard for a mom not knowing if you'll see your child ever again. >> reporter: our ongoing investigation has identified over 100 cases where seatback collapses resulted in serious injury or death, mostly to children in the back seat. the industry has long known their seats do not hold up in many rear-end collisions. so has the national highway

that caused a death or an injury. >> reporter: nhtsa tells "cbs this morning," it does not have the data to support changing the standard, while acknowledging the number of deaths caused by seat back collapse have likely been underestimated. it makes it a lot harder to say there is a problem if the carmakers are not reporting there is a problem. >> there is a huge regulatory black hole within the automotive industry is able to escape responsibility because they do not report these >> reporter: other accidents are not reported to nhtsa because automakers are not required to if the car involved is more than 10 years old. the ford eli was injured in was 11. >> if the seat did not collapse, he would not have suffered so much. he has to live with this for rest of his life. >> reporter: automakers can face stiff fines for not properly reporting accidents. the safest place for kids they say is the back seat. auto industry engineers have

backs could be on the order of a dollar or so. for "cbs this morning," kris van cleave, washington. >> our thanks to advikris van ce for doing this series and hopefully lead to changes. >> such important reporting. >> i didn't know it was possible the way the seats jerk back that way. >> the stunning thing, the carmakers did. astronauts in orbit will even celebrate thanksgiving. ahead the commander international space station previeth >> samantha: good wednesday morning to you. we're off to a dry start on this busiest travel day of the year. if you travel in our area through midday, i think you're just fine. driving towards indiana they have a lot of rain out that and in kentucky as well. here at home it is afternoon travel and evening travel where

two major storm systems will deliver everything from snow and ice to thunderstorms. one stretches across the middle of the country. the other is hitting the pacific northwest. >> more than 48 million people are expected to travel 50 miles or more this holiday weekend. of those, more than 3.5 million are likely to fly. >> many more people, nearly 90% are driving to their thanksgiving destinations. the country's highways and interstates will be busy today and sunday. aaa says 43.5 million people will be on thed. david begnaud is braving the traffic in miami and in south florida, more than 2 million people are expected to be driving for this holiday. david, good morning to you once again, my friend. >> reporter: good morning to you, sir, since we last saw you, about an hour ago, it's brighter and slower. moving at 8 miles an hour and five miles from miami and estimated travel time is 30 minutes.

this is the worst day of the year to travel and they cite increase in accidents and road hazards and traffic jams. more than 43 million americans are going to drive for this holiday. aaa expects to assist more than 370,000 motorists this thanksgiving. to the extent you can get a quick check of your car before heading out, it will help. improvements in the economy and gas prices being some of the lowest they have been in nearly a decade are partly why aaaay going to be road tripping it this weekend. here is a little bit of trivia for you. the state that is paying the most for gas right now, as of today, which one is it? hawaii. it would be nice to be there, wouldn't? the state paying the cheapest? oklahoma. gayle? happy thanksgiving. >> happy thanksgiving to you, david. are you in a self-driving car or do you have someone driving you around? how is that working? >> we are concerned. >> yes, we concerned.

ranoeu who is driving for thanksgiving and if i'm lucky he might cook. >> tell the camera to pan over. >> they want to see jack. can we get jack real quick? >> there he is! eyes on the road, jack! >> thank you very much. safe travels out. >> you bet. president-elect trump will name nikki haley to the u.s. ambassador to the united na last week and seemed to overcome their differences during the primary campaign. haley endorsed senator marco rubio and openly critical of some of donald trump's proposals. in march he tweeted the people of south carolina are embarrassed by nikki haley. >> some other reversals came to light yesterday when the president-elect met with "the new york times" reporters. mr. trump had said he would instruct his attorney general to get a special prosecutor to investigate hillary clinton. well, yesterday, he said he wants to move forward and

clintons. after promising to cancel the paris climate accords, mr. trump said, i quote, take a look at it. >> many of the nation's largest retailers are gearing up for black friday, one of the busiest shopping day of the year. dozens of stores are taking a stand against opening on thanksgiving day. here are the retailers not open on thanksgiving and target will open on thanksgiving at p.m. and first time ever offer 15% on nearly everything online and in stores on sunday through cyber monday. brian cornell is ceo of target. welcome to table. >> good to be back. >> tell us why some choose not to and why some choose not to stay open. >> we talk to the shoppers who come to target and we listen to them carefully and they say they

shoppers in our store and expect the same this year. >> 6:00 p.m. until when? >> open all night long. it's a big event. we see families turn out. we see brothers and sisters kind of reuniting in our stores so we try to meet their needs. >> other than high volume shopping and what that does to your bottom line, is it a time at thanksgiving to, in a sense, to test out new ideas to be able to see if you can penetrate the online market that amazon does so well? important to us and we have been investing for years to build out our capabilities. so it's a combination of a great historic experience and story experience to bring those together during the holiday is important to us. >> how important has cyber monday become? i know this new initiative is, in part, tied to what it's meant. >> it's a big event. and we have taken a different approach this year. we have combined both a store

15% off on basically our entire stock. to drive even more attention to both of our digital experience but also, josh, to get people in our stores. >> here is the thing they say about target. is it still okay to call it target? >> it is. >> you go into your store and i'm spending $25 and you walk out $200 or $300 later and spend more than you expect. don't you hate when that happens? >> i love when it happens. >> it happens a lot and you're now expanding your stores to downtownas campuses because? >> well, we are following the consumer and what we are seeing across the country is consumers moving back to city centers. whether it's here in new york or in philadelphia, boston, chicago. so we are just simply following the consumer. and as we have talked to them, they have said one of the things they would love to see is a target in their neighborhood and these are really neighborhood stores. we opened up here in try beck ka in manhattan. early in october, the store is an incredible success for us and it's people in the local

sometimes multiple times in a week. i was there two weeks ago and i talked to one of our guests and she said, since we opened, she had been there three times. we had only been open a couple of days. even coming back again and again. >> and again and again and again. >> isn't it a long uphill battle to compete online with amazon? >> charlie, we don't think it is. we think physical stores still matter. so as we sit here today we think about retailing in the u.s. 90% of the busin i done in a physical store. most consumers, they are starting with a smartphone in their hand. it's how they decide where to stop and where there is shopping lists are held. they still like the physical experience. so we need to do both. we need to make sure we got a very compelling reason to come to our stores and when you're there make it easy and make it inspiring. we also want to make sure you can shop online and pick up in one of our stores. that is where these smaller urban stores are really important. you can order online and conveniently pick up your

it. >> is there an advantage to shopping on thanksgiving as opposed to coming on friday? i'm thinking about your employees. we should say you're going to be working too? >> i will be. i'll be out there in stores. >> is there an advantage if you come thanksgiving day? do you get a better deal or the experience you're there on thanksgiving day? >> we have had some great deals for this big thanksgiving and black friday weekend. for the first time ever, we will offer a 50-inch 4k tv for under $250. >> 50 >> 5-0. 50 inches. >> made by whom? >> yes, a good question! made by whom? >> great quality, 4k. we want to add excitement and make sure that it's an exciting experience and people love to shop. they turn out. so i'll be out there. our leadership team will be out in stores. i really appreciate the fact our team members want to work on thanksgiving evening. >> what allowances are made for them? >> they get time and a half for those days. but, josh, they are excited to come out.

it's really when target is at its best. the holiday periods is when we really shine and why i'm so proud of the brand and the team. they get fired up and make sure to offer a great experience and we get great feedback from the customer. they keep shopping. >> some consumer reports make the argument that the bargains on black friday are not as big as they expect. >> charlie, they get better better. if you look at the offers we are bringing on apple products. >> do you know what i mean? >> we bring great volume. >> you're here saying what you are seeing on black friday are really significant bargains that you cannot find the week before or the week after? >> they are sensational deals. >> on everything in the? the 15% you're offering? >> both in store and online. as opposed to cyber monday we made it in the store and online.

>> anything. apple is nice. i wear size 10, 10 1/2 shoe. >> we can help you out. >> brian, have a great holiday. >> have a great holiday. thank you. >> he will be working at the store. good to see you. many families this thanksgiving will serve up the holiday staples with you, you could say, a sigh of anxiety. >> it's almost time to carve the turkey and dig into the mashed potatoes and maybe try a pumpkin are you ready for a heaping talk of politics this thanksgiving? coming up on "cbs this morning," find out how you can make it through the holiday if you're sitting at a politically divided dinner table. >> oh, no. i think that is going to happen tomorrow >> samantha: thanks so much, g gayle. it's a gorgeous, beautiful start outside. look to the west. we have rain coming through fort wayne, indianapolis, that system

there is some mixed precipitation on the radar. a lot is not mixing down to the ground quite yet but could change later this morning. with temperatures climbing into the low 40s this afternoon, i expect mainly rain in northeast charlie has got a good idea. listen up. >> go ahead, charlie. >> you have a contest and you say to somebody if you can find

extra 10% off of whatever you're purchasing. if they can find you at a target store, they get an extra 10% off and you'll have some identification you're the guy! do you agree to this? >> i think it's a great idea. >> find brian cornell! >> it was free! >> we should get a tight shot of brian's face so people know this is what he looks like! that is great! >> he'll be at a number of stores. >> i will be on thanksgiving day. >> thanks to you and your >> if your thanksgiving meal, is it a recipe for health problems? dr. david agus is in the toyota green room to explain how turkey with all of the trimmings and dessert and drink may all affect your body. our resident cartoonist liza o'donnell is here. she recently drew all of this. it's all ahead of the big day tomorrow.

liza's work and tap on the photos to listen to the stories behind these images. >> i like that idea. mastering irresistibly smooth. the lindor truffle ... from the lindt master chocolatiers. hard outer shell... smooth, luscious center. unwrap. unwind. with the lindor truffle. from the lindt master chocolatiers. i don't want to live with the uncertainties of hep c. or wonder whether i should seek treatment. i am ready. because today there's harvoni. a revolutionary treatment for the most common type of chronic hepatitis c. harvoni is proven to cure up to 99% of patients... ...who've had no prior treatment. it transformed treatment as the first cure that's...

for 12 weeks. certain patients... ...can be cured with just 8 weeks of harvoni. harvoni is a simple treatment regimen that's been prescribed to more than a quarter of a million patients. tell your doctor if you've had a liver transplant, other liver or kidney problems, hiv, or any other medical conditions, and about all the medicines you take including herbal supplements. taking amiodarone with harvoni may cause a serious slowing of your heart rate. common side effects of harvoni may include tiredness, headache and weakness. i am ready to put hep c behind me. to be cured. are you ready?

? ? as we prepare to chow down this thanksgiving, we are taking

and drinks and the trimmings. a typical holiday meal could top 4,500 calories! that is more than twice the average daily recommended total. the dinner could contain nearly 3 1/2 times the suggested fat and equals to three sticks of butter. our dr. david agus joins us to tell us about this downer. i think this is a thing of beauty. you're saying think about this before you indulge. >> gayle? >> so the science of overeating is pretty wild. something that makes u.s. hungry and leptin saying we are full. we eat more because of that. but that science is important because what happens is as your stomach gets sxanexpanded assit the stomach and it could push up and you can get acid reflux and indigestion and that is what you

>> a quarter of all that would be okay? >> yeah. i'm not here to say how much you should eat, charlie. >> how big is your stomach? >> your stomach is four cups. when you eat more and more your stomach gets expanded and the key is at some point to stop. within two hours of a meal, thanksgiving, 400% increase of heart attacks. you shunt blood elsewhere to the body and that restricts blood to the heart. >> you can't pick it up early which is to say fasting. laying off -- >> or saving room. >> yeah. no saving room. >> no. >> don't eat on wednesday so you can eat on thursday. >> a myth that doesn't work. eat breakfast. drink water before you eat and plan activity and running around at thanksgiving. don't do within an hour or two

or two to be degraded in your stomach. when you're eating a large meal you're talking five, six hours. when you exercise after that it shunts blood from your stomach and why you get nauseous. >> if you eat half of that, is that okay? what is so wrong with one day indulging? when you think about it. >> listen. the big scheme of things nothing is wrong as long as it's not too much. if you look at the data, our lowest weight in the country is in october. starting in at thanksgiving, there is a rise in weight until around january 1. then it takes five months on average for the country to get back to where they started! so if you practice a little bit of moderation these five weeks it will pay off significantly in the long run. >> what about if you eat half of that? >> we are looking for half! >> you have this half and you have this half.

you get sleepy after eating so much turkey. there is more of it in cheese -- >> david agus, thank you. >> thank you. >> you want to get diverted this holiday weekend? who doesn't? the overnight plane trouble that left passengers stuck on this snowy tarmac.

listerine? kills 99% of bad breath germs for a 100% fresh mouth. feeling 100% means you feel bold enough to... ...assist a magician... ...or dance. listerine?. bring out the bold? i love my shop, but my back pain was making it hard to sleep and open up on time. then i found aleve pm. the only one to combine a safe sleep aid plus the 12 hour pain relieving strength of aleve. now i'm back.

>> samantha: time is 8:26 on this wednesday morning. we have been dry all morning long. no rain in the immediate coverage area, but back in indiana and far western ohio there are quite a few showers, and on the front side of this, a little bit of wintery precipitation, and a lot is not making it down to the ground. as it moved air mass may get more moist facilitating the development of precipitation. we'll miss out on any big snow or sleet or anything like that, but as we start to get rain developing and moving in midday and into the early afternoon hours, a little bit of sleet could pop up initially. that's it. most of today is just rain, and it's mainly confined to the afternoon and evening hours, and

temperatures tonight stay right around the low 40s, and then we

? passengers relaxing on a long international flight got an unexpected surprise you could say when the jet suddenly made an emergency landing in snowy siber siberia. the 230 people on board have now been stuck there for hours. the pilot of the pacific flight was concerned about a possible fire, but the plane landed safely and no fire was found there. the flight was flying from london to hong kong. a replacement plane is on the way. one passenger on board told us he is trying to focus on his ultimate destination whether the fact he has been stuck in

don't you know, a good time to keep a close eye on your finances. there is david pogue in our toyota green room reading to mrs. pogue. hi there, mrs. pogu. he'll share advice saving money at starbucks and getting cash for gift cards you will not use. how to manage potential conflict over politics this thanksgiving dinner. up. time to show you some of the morning's headlines from around the globe. "usa today" reports that some electoral college members are pressured to change their vote. 28 states do not require electorals to back the winner of the state's popular vote. hillary clinton supporters want donald trump electorals to change sides but there are apparently no takers. they will meet on december 19th to make the election result official. >> "the washington post" says a

boxing match in florida. she was disqualified because she wanted to wear a shirt and hijab in the ring. >> "variety" reports that "the late late show with james corden" will host the grammy awards. he takes over who had a five-year run. >> i feel honored to go in his steps. the producers said we need another james who is cool. that the ladies love. >> applause, applause! >> corden has ridden some of the

karaoke." you can catch the grammy awards on cbs in january. >> very good choice. "the sacramento bee" reports on the rescue of a cat that spent 90 days on top of an electric pole. the cat needed food and water. the cat is named fat boy. i'm wondering why it took them nine days saying we better get fat boy. >> not so britain's "guardian" reports on a solid gold surprise. a man in france covered gold bar and coins in a house he inherited from a deceased relative. about 5,000 pieces of gold hidden from furniture to piles of linen. he recently sold the gold for $3.5 million! a lot of gold!

yahoo! finance columnist david pogue has to get our lives in line and not a day too soon. it's essential tips and shortcuts that no one bothers to tell you about beating the system. this is his third book and "the new york times" best selling series. he offers some 200 tips that could help all of us. david pogue, welcome. i want to get to the gift card tips. oftentimes a gift card and lovely gift but i m to use it but things to do with it? >> world's biggest scam. i give you a 50 dollar gift card and maybe it's a store you don't use so according to to consumer reports twenty of us never use it. websites are gift card exchanges called card cash.com and card pool.com where they will buy your unused gift card for ka cash so for maybe 70% of the face value. that is a.

cards can then go buy the cards that other people have turned in. so get hundred dollar itunes gift card for 85 bucks. >> you had gap, incumbent republic and old navy never pay full price. if you do, you're a sucker! you said a sucker! we do that all the time! >> they are openwned by the sam mothership company. usually tied to the holidays they mark the entire store off 40%! 40% is a lo also if you sign up for the credit card you get 20% off and you get $5 off for every hundred dollars you spend. if you look into the very basics of these things, especially look for the 40% sales every couple of months you'll find you'll never pay the markup price. >> you're not a fan of extended warranties either? >> no. consumer reports have been shown it's a waste of your money unless it's a mobile thing like a phone. but refrigerators and stuff, no. >> this time of year we think

to buy. there are things right now perhaps we should avoid? >> there are big deals coming up on black friday. my tip there is black friday.com. a round site that rounds up all of the story's offers for friday. >> it tells you where you can find them or evaluate them? >> just list them to help you prepare. which stores are going to stand in line for and which ones have deals. >> you said most americans have huge credit card debt but that is also something that we can take care of kind -- specific kind of credit card? >> if you have credit card debt. >> 9,600 you said? >> the average american is 9,600 in debt on your credit card. the main thing to know you can call the credit card company and ask them to lower on the rate. if you explain to them that you have a plan to pay it off, i'm getting a new job, i'm working harder. by september i'll have it taken care of, can you help me out? they will help you out.

>> what is great you said don't spend money on things, spend money on experiences. i think that is such a good note on this holiday weekend. >> that is what science says. the best use of your money is not on object which gives you a terry spike on happiness but on experiences you remember. >> like travel? >> travel, cooking class, things like that that you'll always remember and it's a part of you. >> is it fear as much as anything when we sit down to talk about fi and so we make bad decisions? >> i guess it depends on how afraid of you are of current situation. my point in the book is that we leave money on the table everywhere we go. people say time is money. mine is inspiration is money. if you know starbucks goes unlimited coffee and refills for 50 cents each all day long, you can ask for it. >> do not fall for the 99 cent trick?

>> another psychology thing. everything is priced at $49.99. that is $50. let's not kid ourselves. >> david poguee another winner. it's "basics money." thanksgiving can stress the strongest family bonds. >> what we don't want at this table is anyone building a wall of mashed potatoes to divide this family. >> absolutely. but we can agree to disagree on certain things. >> ahead, mo rocca's guide >> samantha: i find weather is a safe topic of conversation

outside, but most of is not mixing to the ground. temperatures are on the up and up and most of the rain is coming for us. that will move in through the

there a lot of tension out there right now. if you're planning a family get together a new service i think you should know about. >> using your phone you can use a professional moderator to manage your meals like wolf blitzer and megyn kelly. >> he should build a wall. they are coming across by the millions. >> hillary should be -- >> she won the popular vote. >> no one can get away with this! >> if we could just please get back to the original question. could someone please pass the salt?

that is funny. ellen degeneres with help from wolf blitzer. a record high 77% of america thinks the united states is divided on the most important values. some families are sure to find themselves split on different ends of the political spectrum. mo rocca found one of those famlies and talked with them about the election results in a dry run of a thanksgiving dinner. this should be good, mo. >> 42-year-old victor is from philadelphia and voted for hillary clinton. his mother, 66-year-old fran bauer, lives in ocean county, new jersey, and voted for donald trump. this family ordinarily does not talk about politics but this campaign and election were different and that is add ago whole other thick layer of stress to this thanksgiving. how are holiday meetinals for y family? >> particularly pretty calm because we avoid any

stressful. we are in an unusual situation which my wife and i tend to vote democrat and everybody that comes to my house votes republican. >> reporter: you're outnumbered. will you gloat a little bit? >> i won't do that. a verse in the bible says work at piece and edification and that is me. >> reporter: you're taking a very new testament approach? >> yes. >> reporter: but if you're pushed, you can go old testament on that? >> i can! listen. my husband and i have researched a lot about the clintons and hillary and no way were we going to invite -- vote for her. >> reporter: alex carter, columbia law professor and professional mediator joined us at the thanksgiving table to mediate. >> are you recommending that people eliminate politics from the conversation? >> mo, this is a very unusual

anybody set a blanket rule if it doesn't work for their family. >> victor, you have two children. >> we have two children. the other side of this is i worry about teaching them a bad lesson which is that, you know, we, as a family, can't get together and have a level-headed conversation about important topics without it going off the rails. >> reporter: so why don't we venture gingerly into a discussion about the election? >> sure. >> reporter: so i'll start. boy. that was kind of a trump took wisconsin! >> when trump took pennsylvania, i knew it was all over. >> my daughter, she is pro-trump. you know? she was very happy and i talked with her and i didn't talk to victor about it because i knew who he veted for and i didn't want to say, yea, trump won! >> well, that was very kind of you. >> fran, what is one thing you would like victor to know? >> well, that trump wasn't my first choice.

much before the election because we were so tired of hearing it. and, you know, the way he talks, trump, he comes across sometimes in a very arrogant way! but i knew i couldn't vote for hillary clinton so that is why i voted for trump. >> reporter: what do you want to say right now? >> she doesn't like listening to donald trump but now she has four years of listening to donald trump. >> i know. it's true. >> i would als my vote was a vote against donald trump. >> reporter: they share that then that they hate the other candidate? >> yes. the only thing i would say is i, as a christian, i'm praying that he surrounds himself with good advisers. >> she just brought religion into this now! we started with politics and she brought religion in. >> we are ready for the trifecta. i feel if somebody insults the food, we will have completed the mission. >> reporter: your response?

on the same page, actually. i just have a hard time connecting donald trump to anything referabling christianity. >> both of you have a strong christian faith in common. it's just where that faith leads you politically that is different. >> j>> reporter: back to politics. we asked fran and victor to try a conversation about an issue that dominate the campaign ai idea to build a wall between mexico and the united states? >> there needs to be better control in keeping illegal immigrants out. i'm not saying that the wall is the best way. but there does need to be something. >> it should come in legally as our ancestors did. >> i agree. >> and as your wife's parents did. >> my wife's parents were born in india. >> reporter: the immigration

for you also? >> we don't want at this table is anyone building a wall of mashed potatoes to divide this family. >> right, absolutely. but we can agree to disagree on certain things. >> reporter: seems like always an effort and comes naturally to find common ground. >> it does. it makes me wonder, mo, whether you all will be the mediators on thanksgiving. >> i think the real solution here is ban yourte dinner. we have established some ground rules so i think it's probably time to invite the rest of the family in. who is everyone voting for in 2020? according to our mediator, if you're in a house divided, make a game plan ahead of time and if things get heated, remember, we are family. blood is thicker than water. and it stains! you don't want to get it all over the table cloth! >> it does. they were pretty civil, considering what i expect will

many dinners. >> right. i know. fireworks. i think they were way too civilized but it's good for their live. >> i think it's good to set ground rules and really a smart thing to do. >> family dysfunction will be specific. ahead, the four-legged friends providing travelers with much-needed stress relief. you're watching "cbs this morning."

? under pressure ? >> syracuse international airport in new york is giving holiday travelers some canine comfort. they teamed up with a nonprofit organization this week to bring therapy pooches to stressed out passengers. the dogs are going to actually be back next month to help the rest of the holiday travel season. terrific stuff there. >> good idea. >> that is it it for us. tune into the "cbs evening news" with scott pelley tonight and we will see you tomorrow on "cbs this morning."

happy thanksgiving. >> happy thanksgiving eve.

>> samantha: good morning to you. it's 8:55 on this wednesday morning. a big travel day today and we have rain off to the west. i know this looks kind of crazy out here in northwestern ohio around toledo and down to the south. i do not have any reports of snow or anything like that. i do have some reports of mixed precipitation west of so as this stuff starts falling, it is starting as a little bit of sleet but mainly rain, you know. it's not super cold outside. we're actually going to warm into the 40s later. so when is this all going to move in? as we get closer to late morning, like 11:00, lunchtime, we start to see some showers in the western part of the forecast region. most of our rain into afternoon and tonight. rain will be pretty steady, especially over the lakeshore

overnight, and then tomorrow we get rid of our steady rain but
