but trump could pursuade him to join his cabinet. at the very least, our governor may have sme say in who does get picked. he was an early and loyal supporter of trumps-- and led a group that raised 20-millin dollars to get him elected. if trump does ask him to serve as secretary of health-- it could be an appealing offer. scott's political because scott's political clear took off by attacking the affordable care act. have the opportunity to squeeze or undermine it from within. and notice how governor scott brought up healthcare just a few minutes ago in new york. >> i think he has specific goals to get done and he is going to surround himself with good people. i'm going to do everything i can to help him. it is all going to work out. we have to repeal obamacare. we have to get rid of the parts of government that don't work.

about. he said he wants to remain governor, but also has to realize that as a lame duck governor he could butt heads with the legislature. yes, the legislature is run by his own party, but the current leadership in tallahassee has very different priorities than governor scott. he could have trouble moving an agenda and could be presented with an interesting opportunity as early as today or tonight by the president-elect. >> the other news we are hearing today trump is also meeting with mitt romney to talk about a possible cabinet post. what do you make of that? >> it is fascinating. if you look at the media reports coming out of washington, trump is considering romney for secretary of state, not giuliani who is jock kiing for the job. this shows us that donald trump is trying to reach out to his critics and show he has an open mind and has moved beyond the

each other, romney did congratulate trump after the election and they are meeting this weekend. that has been confirmed by senator jeff sessions who is very close to donald trump. i think there may be a better chance than not, though, that this is an effort to reach out to -- for sources to indicate that a lot of people are being considered to show that trump hasn't keyed into exactly who he will pick. he said the picks will be named when he specifically names them. this day in berlin. he said that he hopes trump stands up to russia as president. he stresses that our nation has very significant differences with putin, but he also said that he will not advise people in the united states who are protesting trump's election to stay silent. he said it is very important for people to be involved, engaged and certainly to vote. that was his message today overseas. frustration and anger

>> i don't think it was fair. they didn't look at the data correctly. >> i think it is pitting one side of the school to the other. >>reporter: the plan will shuffle hundreds of students around, removing 500 from each school. some families who wouldn't be impacted have mixed feelings. >> there is a relief, but i'm sad at the outcome. >>reporter: a lot of parents continue to >> what is the rush? >>reporter: district spokesperson says holding off is unlikely and admits another redraw will probably be needed in about five years. >> we don't like having to do it, but it is a reality so we can keep our schools balanced ou. >>reporter: the plan still needs final approval from the superintendent and school board. some say they'll fight this as long as they can. >> it is a roller coaster ride and i don't know where i'm at. do i feel safe today walking out of here? no.

>>reporter: that roller coaster ride is going to continue because the superintendent is going to look at recommendations, possibly make adjustments and the school board will hold two public meetings. the first, december 20, the second january 27. during that meeting board members will make a final decision. tampa police are still looking for the driver in hit and run where he crashed into a bar and they have just released video of the crash. this was around 3:30 tuesday morning outside the bad monkey bar on seventh avenue. you see a group of guys get into a fight, pushing and shoving. then suddenly a black nissan j wum ps the curb and rams right into the group. one man was hit, pushed through the bar's front door. he wasn't seriously hurt, but there was $15,000 worth of damage to the car. the driver got out of the car and ran off. tampa police want to know who he is. there is a $3,000 reward.

phillips was handed a huge victory by the state supreme court. it ruled phillips' two death sentences should be set aside and he be given life in prison instead. phillips was convicted of killing two people during an armed robbery in 2009. the supreme court disagreed with the lower court which concluded the crime was premeditated. they also said the death penalty should be preserved for the most heinous crimes. this, the justices said, was the most was the fact that phillips was mentally handicapped. this spring the u.s. supreme rejected florida's rigid iq testing which determines if people should be protected from the death chamber if they are mentally handy cap. the high court said other factors must be looked at. >> his background, his history,

other factors as opposed to just his iq score. >> which is what our supreme court did and concluded phillips will die in prison, but not by lethal injection. >> the jury voted 8-4 for death, which could have raised another appeal. the supreme court just ruled a jury must be unanimous to receive a death penalty so certainly he would have won that appeal. a u.s. army veteran in brooksville just got a well renovated, mortgage free home. the sergeant and his wife received the home on weeping willow street today thanks to operation home front and jp morgan chase. he says he and his wife have never had a home of their own and are thankful for the gift. >> it is breathtaking. it relieves a lot of stress and is just a wonderful opportunity and look forward to taking advantage of it.

said was they needed the support from everyone around them. you hear a lot of stats about small businesses and how long they take to turn a profit, but it can take two to ten years for businesses to start putting money in the owner's pocket. it is unique for everyone but you have to keep that in mind and keep the commitment. when things stagnate and hit the bumps in the road, keep going. >> two years is one thing. ten years? that is. >> ten years you have to go back to the moonlighting thing and do both at once. what do you have for us tomorrow? >> we like to talk about working from home and achieving those dreams. tomorrow we are talking about if you want to be a blogger and how to actually monetize that. so if you have something to say, that is one thing. but getting free products and a paycheck, that is another thing. >> i have always been curious

tigers seem to be doing remarkably well considering they just traveled 2,000 miles on a truck just to get here. the conditions at their previous facility were completely inadequate and with winter approaching in colorado, they wanted to get them out and get them here as quickly as possible. >> just like domestic cats, they take a different amount of time to acclimate. >>reporter: it didn't take long for these tigers to take to their new homes in the sunshine state. >>reporter: five bengal tires arrived last night after a 30 hour road trip from colorado. rescuers were eager to get them here. >> the area of colorado gets exceptionally cold and the enclosures the cats had didn't offer a lot of protection from the elements. the different sanctuaries were scrambling to get them out before it got really cold.

after dumping millions of gallons of sewage into the bay during summer storms - saint . after gallons of sewage into the bay, saint pete has a plan to upgrade its failing sewage system, but as we learn, some leaders say it may not be soon enough. >> peter ortiz spends a lot of time fishing in bay waters near saint peters. and he is infuriated that the city dumped excess millions of waste water into the river.

are doing this to our environment? damn, guys. wake up. >>reporter: the city now has a $300 million five year plan to ungrade its sewage system by first being able to hold more sewage by adding tankses and then replacing a lot of leaky pipes throughout the city. >> it puts a smile on my face. >>reporter: good news for some, but there is a lot of concern that the city won't be able to make adequate improvements in time for next season. state leaders have questioned the city's decision not to reopen the plant which would have allowed an emergency tanker barge to hold waste in the event of severe weather. saint petersburg says it is not feasible from a cost or operational standpoint. >> whereas if we added a 45 million gallon tanker, once it is full it is one and done. >>reporter: most of the short term improvements won't be done until this time next year.

surgeon general today in a report on substance abuse. we have been looking into the report. how bad, joe, is america's addiction epidemic? >> it is very bad and it impacts one in three families. we all know someone who is fighting this battle. they said it is costing us $420 billion here in the u.s. there are 20.8 million people facing substance use disorder. that is fighting all cancers combined. only one in ten of these individuals gets treatment. what the surgeon general said was imagine if only 10% of cancer patients got treatment. that is what we are facing with this epidemic. they talked about the other behaviors they were seeing. some surveys said 66 million people admitted bing drinking just in the last month. a lot of really hard statistics in the report. >> did they talk about what a solution moving forward might be? >> they did.

there are things that are helping individuals. first of all, we need to change the way we look at substance abuse. for example, it is thought to be a character flaw. we need to think of it as a disease. when they look at brains they showed pet scans and there was a great video that they put together. i have a link on my twitter and facebook page if you want to watch it. when we look at recovery programs like this, for every dollar spent we sav healthcare expenses, $7 in the criminal justice system. but they also talk about prevention. prevention in children. they said if we can just keep these kids from drinking and using drugs for a few years when their brains are better developed, it decreases their chance or risk of them becoming addicted later on. over 400 pages in this report. too much to talk about right now. >> for our kids that is good to know.

come to my house after seeing my picture. >> it wasn't bad. >> oh my god -- >> that was a great selfie. >> my family teases me because i do such bad selfies because i have it down and they are like, no, put it up. i'm like, okay. >> i like her selfie. she invited jamal's entire family to come over for thanksgiving. >> anyone watching right now is invited to the house. >> you know what occurs to me is that my 80-year-old dad jt trying to learn the text and yesterday he calls me and says, "didn't you get my text?" i'm like, no. there is no telling who might be coming for thanksgiving. >> downloading some apps you didn't know existed. >> like, no, i don't know where they went. >> tell him to download the sky tower app. good stuff coming up. need some rain. this is a good time of year. sunset happened about ten minutes ago.

it is bright in the western sky. sunset about ten minutes ago. 78 degrees. beautiful day today. high temperature. back up to 80 so back in the red zone. we stay right into the weekend and then a big blue stretch early next week behind a cold front. almanac data today, 80 the high, 58 degrees was the morning low. delightful day. no precipitation today. the record high -- we saw that -- was last year. a whole bunch of record highs at the end happened due to the unusual warm end to 2015. clear skies and a north and northeast wind coming down the peninsula and the air mass is very dry. it is very pleasant, too. the sky today was really nice and blue. unlimited visibility. temperatures holding in the 70s and the dew points are low, so when the sun goes down tonight and the combination of clear skies and low dew points, temperatures are drop pretty quickly and then kind of settle

not a lot of wind, just a light north and northeast wind. right now we are 78 the dew point, down to 44 degrees. high pressure up by panama city will give us another good day tomorrow, but then we look to the west and this is the front that will eventually swing our way and go by probably saturday night. the winds will pick up saturday ahead of the front and they'll pick up behind the front on sunday. this front is producing snow. in fact, it is right now an it is snowing down i-70 out towards summit county and that snow continues overthe dakotas. 30 and snowing in denver. 78 in amarillo. dallas, 79. raleigh, 63. tonight we are clear and we are pleasant. lows down to 60. lots of sunshine coming up tomorrow. beautiful day. highs up to 80. the wind picks up on saturday. high, 78.

sunshine rolling up to 69. and then temperatures at night are back in the 40s. thanksgiving looks good with sunshine and temperatures at 77 degrees. >>reporter: reports that steven stamcos will miss three to four months. a little premature. the extent of his injuries are not known until doctors can get a look inside his damaged knee. there are two options facing the light lightening's -- he could miss most of the regular season. now, the upside of this injury is that the lightening have had to play without him a few times before. this is the third time in the last four seasons that he's suffered an injury that has kept him out for a while. another tough break for him who is off to a great start. he is third in the league right now, points six in goals. another positive for the

jonathan drewan back tonight. he's been out the last three weeks dealing with a concussion and has had to fill in for stamcos once before. bucks are up against the hottest team in the nfl this sunday. they have one 17 of their last 19 games and have done it quietly because the chiefs don't get the attention that dallas or the new england patriots get for their wins. few more starters return to practice this week on their offense. holly is back. unclear in they'll be ready winston will have shepherd and stocker back at practice as well. kansas city is on a roll, and the bucks have won the last four games against kc. in fact, the chiefs hadn't beaten the bucks since joe montana was under center for them in 1973. that is part due to the development of noah spence. >> i think what makes it more

a harness on all the time since his shoulder came out and he never really had any injuries in college. so sometimes young guys that have to face stuff like that where they have to wear a harness or brace of some sort, it has an adverse affect on their play and something that we wanted noah to become a better player against the run, that is one of the benefits of the injuries we have had is noah had to play more in defensive situations. you draft him because of his pass-rush ability, but i think he's improved his overall game. >>reporter: we have a fun sunday, starting with tailgate sunday live in kansas at 10:30. then the bucks and chiefs at 1:00. after the game, stick with us. we'll be live in the locker room with all your post game reaction coming up on sunday. we knew the rays would be playing on opening day for all

didn't know exactly what time they would be doing that. we do now. how about this? the rays will be the opening pitch for all of major league baseball. their opening day game against the yankees will start at 1:00 before the other two games get underway. someone on the rays could be the first strike out, first base hit, or first homer of the 2017 season. the other games are the giants at arizona and the world champs, the chicago cubs opening on the road in saint louis. >> opening on the road. >>reporter: biggest rival. game. >> that'd be nice. >>reporter: no respect. first time you win in 108 years

hey! is this enough? a little more... grandma! there you go... there's no more room. oh look who's here! i know i had one more...
