he did a very good job of tying obama to alison grimes.ard the end she exacerbated all her comments on whether she voted for obama. she wouldn't say. but he did a very good job -- he made obama and obamacare, which has been a success in kentucky, he made them key issues in the race. >> senator mcconnell is 72 and alison grimes was 35. without overstating it, mitch mcconnell is not a matinee idol. she is a smart, attractive -- what does it say in the age of television that he not only be -- beat her but beat her badly? >> she was never able to define herself. people who are watching this race -- it was not exactly clear what she stood for, what she believed. she didn't come across as an authentic candidate. she was very cautious, very disciplined, and tried hard to distance herself from the president and make the race all about attacking mcconnell. everything was about mcconnell being in washington for too long, the guardian of gridlock, all the things mcconnell didn't like about mcconnell -- she was going hard on that. but if you do that,

alison kosik is live with the gas price trend not seen in five years. alison, that's great news. >> how about this for a good christmas present? good timing sooz many people are traveling for the holidays. so missouri happens to be the first state in five years to have the average gas price below $2. $1.98 per gallon to be exact. one station is at $1.75 a gallon. this is below the national average of $2.32. why? well, oil prices continue their plunge. you look at where they are, they're 50% from their highest level this year. now you are seeing a bit of pressure on oil happen today because of some unrest in libya, but that's not expected to affect oil prices that much. you can expect to enjoy those lower gas prices for much longer time. but we are seeing some pressure on oil momentarily not by much, though, randi. >> alison kosik, thank you very much. appreciate. that gamers are hoping to get back online soon after hackers launched a christmas day attack on sony's playstation and xbox networks. a group calling itself lizard squad is claiming responsibil

alison asked them about the money. i asked them about being drugged. them had pretty similar stories. but it was a very heavy mood in the studio. and i noticed when i walked in the studio, we had the monitors with bill cosby's picture up in the studio. and i said to the producers, probably shouldn't turn this on. so they walked in and we turned the monitors on. and each lady looked at the monitor and went, i can't look at that! so they sat there and i said, do you mind if we have it up for the show? and they say, yes, we'll be fine. but one of the most interesting things to me was, i said, what do you want to happen to bill cosby? some said they wanted him to talk. others said, i don't really care what he has to say. but pretty much they said, joan said what i want to happen to bill cosby is what's happening to him right now, that someone of his stature, to have this sort of press, this sort of thing going on is a fate worse than death for him. she said she doesn't want anything else. she wanted her story to be told and in her estimation, for it to be

this time around, alison williams kind of flying around here and there, 9 million viewers only. a lot, tracy. so does nbc continue to go with these live things, or when you cut those numbers in half, is it time to finish out with the live musical? >> i think 18 million people that watched the sound of music was sorely disappointed. you'll get half of that if you go further with this. it didn't work. it's okay. >> why didn't it work, what do you think, chris? >> i don't think it worked because alison williams doesn't have the star power that carrie underwood. if you have taylor swift, call her agent, 30 million viewing that. i think carrie underwood that alison doesn't. >> i think chris had suggested taylor swift doing grease. i'd watch that. what do you think, does nbc get props for taking a flying leap. although 9 million viewers is decent here. >> i didn't see it. why don't you and david start singing the closin"closing bell." i know you can carry it well. i don't know about david. >> i had to turn off -- i saw it. liz: it was that bad. chris, tracy byrnes, peter. we will not

alison grimes has not ruled it out. do you think there will be a contested democratic armory in kentucky? >> i am not sure where that will go. i think the filing deadline is late january. so we will have a clear picture of the field at that point for certain. but i think that democrats in kentucky have a real good story to share. governor beshear led that. from that perspective, we do not have real divisive primaries. we want to make sure we have a strong candidate coming out of there. >> about 2016, you guys are going to be competing with incumbents in red states. how do you compete in a state like north carolina? how do you field a good candidate there? >> i think you field a good candidate by first looking, are they going to be focusing on the state, moving the state forward? i know there has been a lot of discussion about another attorney general, roy cooper down in north carolina. general cooper spent a good amount of time in the legislature. i think he has done a great job as attorney general. at the end of the da

let's ask our alison kosick. you know, i've heard this, alison, they're concerned about this. they really be worried? >> they really shouldn't be worried. they should relax, grab the popcorn, watch the movie if you want to watch it. chances are just because you're streaming the movie you're not going to get hacked either during the movie or after. i mean the reality is, yes, sony was easy to hack into, but it doesn't mean that the movie itself has that malware or that malicious software attached to it. now it doesn't mean that hackers won't try. and if they do, a cyber experts still say you would be safe but there are a couple ways they could try and ruin your viewing experience. for one, they could try to block the movie. they could try to flood google or microsoft with a lot of internet traffic, kind of like jamming too much garbage into a traffic chute. many cyber experts say good luke luc -- good luck with that. secondly, hackers could also try to lace on-line ads with malware, but that's pretty rare. even if they would try once again, you know, you see google and microsof

cnn business correspondent alison kosik joins me now. alison? >> reporter: the movie, "the interview," getting plenty of attention. it's the kind of publicity sony can't buy but when it comes to recouping what it spent to market and make the comedy, it's skeptical that sony will end up ahead. according to a hollywood website, marketing in the u.s. ran up the tab another $35 million and add in another $10 million for overseas and we talk about $90 million invested. the movie is hitting the big screen at a limited number of independent theaters. 300 theaters to be exact. fewer than 2,000 to 3,000 screens the movie was supposed to premiere on and you can stream the movie at home including google play and youtube for less than the cost of a single ticket. $5.99 to rent. 14.99 to buy. so far there's interest in seeing the film. almost all christmas day screenings have sold out in texas and showings here in new york city have also sold out. on google and youtube, "the interview" is the number one watched movie. but where does all this leave sony? with

cnn money correspondent alison kosik is live at the new york stock exchange. alison, another day, another day of bad news. why do the markets keep falling? >> reporter: it's all about oil, jake. plunging oil prices taking a toll on investors today yet again. oil falling almost 4%, settling below 58 a barrel. the international energy agency saying global demand for oil is going to fall next year as supply is growing. what's rattling wall street is the question of what's really behind this drop in oil prices? the concern is because economies in europe and asia are slowing down. and you look at the plunge in oil over the past six months. it's happened really fast making investors very nervous. if you drive, you love the lower gas prices. in oklahoma city, you can fill up for $1.89 a gallon. that's just one city across the country that's enjoying these lower gas prices. it's like a tax cut putting an extra $100 a month into your pocket. and that extra money is going towards spending because retail sales numbers for november came in better than expected. but wall s

at the end of the ad it says, i am alison grimes and i support this message. the candidate ultimately has responsibility. >> here is another one. 30 seconds of david perdue, who ran in georgia against michelle nunn. >> michelle nunn's own plans -- she has funded organizations linked to terrorists. she is for amnesty, while experts say our border breakdown could provide an entry for groups like isis. >> if our country cannot protect its borders, what can it protect? to me, the answer is crystal clear. secure our borders, enforce our laws, and once and for all forget amnesty. i am david purdue, i approve this message. >> anything wrong with that? >> the main aspect i fact checked was the thing at the very beginning, which talked about, her own campaign plan said she funded terrorists. what was bizarre about that, is that her campaign plan, which was somehow leaked -- ordinarily, a campaign plan does not come out. it has a section there that said, these are the bogus attacks that republicans will launch against you. one of the things they listed as a bogus attack

that's it for my friend alison and myself. i'm brooke baldwin. thank you for watching. let's go to washington. "the lead" with jake tapper starts right now. >>> a mother speaks out as another family's fate and another questionable and fatal police shooting is left in the hands of a grand jury. i'm jake tapper, this is "the lead." the national lead, police shot and killed her 12-year-old son, all caught on video. she spoke about it publicly today for the first time. but with the grand jury convening to decide if they will send tamir rice's shooter to trial, an ex-cop questions whether justice is possible in these kinds of cases. >>> athletes and controversy, michael jordan once explained his refuse saal to endorse a democrat by saying, hey, republicans buy sneakers, too. but after ferguson and eric garner, some athletes say they won't keep quiet any longer about their views on some controversial topics. >>> plus, the world lead, two hostages held by al qaeda in yemen are dead after a u.s. special forces team failed to get them out in time. one was hours from being freed.

the question now is how to get more widespread use. >> alison kosik is joining me now.just heard that last person in your piece says it's economical. even though it seems like a high price. >> cost is a reality. the reality is that these carriers operate on thin margins, not so anxious to jump in and put these satellite communications services on the planes. also there's got to be political will. i'm talking from the faa. they don't seem so fast to jump on the band wagon to get this kind of communication on to the airplanes. i spoke with a person from the faa today saying look there are the black box. she told me they work. many don't know this there are satellite communication services on these planes that have instant e-mail communication to and from the control towers. reality is something like that it needs turned on. in the case of the missing malaysia flight that particular service communication was not on. with missing airasia flight 8501 we're not sure what happened there. >> interesting to know the technology is there, though. we know many planes depend on auto

alison is among 17 who have now claimed that bill cosby sexually assaulted them.uestion looming over the scandal is whether bill cosby will do anything about it? will he fight the allegations that are being made against him? he's barely saying a word otherwise. joining me to talk about cosby's legal options is cnn legal analyst, sunny hostin. why wouldn't bill cosby sue all 17 for defamation, if he's innocent? >> that's been the question a lot of people have been asking. but to show defamation, to prove defamation, you have to prove that the allegations are false. so truth is on your side. the question is, what is the truth? are all 17 women defaming him? are all of them lying about him? that's a pretty big hurdle. i have to tell you, when you have a defamation case with one voice, a soloist, that's one thing. when you have a defamation with a choir, with a chorus of voices, that's another thing. so i suspect that's why we're not hearing from bill cosby. but i along with others have said, if these allegations are false, as your attorney has allud alluded, sue for

cnn business correspondent alison kosik joining me to talk more about this. good morning to you. >> good morning to you, randi. this is an epic exchange day, you can exchange, return and regift those gifts that you got that you don't want, but this is still the second busiest shopping day at least in terms of traffic compared to super saturday, which is actually edged out black friday because black friday is stretched into a week-long event. so far retailers are doing pretty well. retailers are expected to have their biggest sales growth in three years, up 4.1% this year compared to 3.1% in sales. as you said, randi, it did start kind of slow. black friday was kind of quiet. lower gas prices seem to have helped giving consumers a little extra money in their pockets, also deep discounts at a lot of stores especially walmart and target in competition with amazon trying to compete with the online retallers. also consumers are getting more thrifty, comparing prices more, a lot of apps that help them compare prices. they're expected to get out there in droves toda

alison kosik is at the new york stock exchange, good morning. >> good morning, carol. are still front and center despite global markets in recovery mode. european markets are higher at the moment. the reasons stocks are in the red, the same issues that weighed on stocks yesterday are still here, specifically economies in the eurozone and china are slowing down. there's some of our biggest trading partners and after recovering yesterday oil prices falling down 2.5%. what changed things today is that opec's monthly oil report came out and that group really influences the price of oil and what they said was that they're forecasting less demand for oil next year, and that's really, carol, been a big part of why we've seep stocks become so volatile lately. i mean, you know, as we're enjoying the lower gas prices, i love to fill up under $3 a gallon when i fill up my car. these are prices we haven't seen in years. the problem is, at least how wall street sees it is it's wreaking havoc on energy companies that rely on high oil prices to make a profit. you're seeing investors

>> alison kosik, thank you so much.ning me now to discuss this, one of the theater owners screening "the interview" today. paul brown, owner of terrace theater. thank you for being with us here on this christmas day. how is it looking there today? i can imagine there are big crowds. i want to show a picture. this just shows how jam packed the lobby is. are all of these people going to see "the interview" today? >> yeah. we opened our doors at quarter to 12:00 and there were people here from 10:00 on outside which we never have that. we don't open these type of movies in the sense we don't open "harry potter" or "hunger games" or any of that stuff. it was quite something. we've sold out every screening except our late show still has seats left. >> really interesting in light of the fact that people could have stayed home and watched it online but they wanted to go to see the movie in theaters and as a lot of people said take a stand for free speech. i wonder what went into the decision making here for you? were you conce

alison kosik, it's crazy. >> i know i just looked before i got on the set. oil now below $53.t's fallen almost 50% since july. that's down from $100 a barrel. part of the reason the u.s. is becoming a major oil producer economies in china and asia are slowing down and opec says you know what? we're going to sit this out, we won't cut production see where the chips fall. and here's where the chips are falling. who's winning, consumers. we are enjoying low gas prices, no doubt about it. airlines are enjoying these lower fuel costs, getting more profit. i don't know if they're passing it along to you and me. construction firms also enjoying it because if they transport goods back and forth they're saving money on that gas as well. guess who's losing? oil companies are losing. >> oh no. >> it's jobs because you think about halliburton and b.p. they're already hinting about job cuts. >> when you say losing how much are they losing? >> well not talking about money just yet, talking about jobs and that's really what many are focusing on and where president obama, the obama administra

alison kosik, the dow is surging? stocks got hammered yesterday. the dow surging 159 spoints. we do still see oil falling, more than half a percent, now $60.50. we're keeping an eye on oil. oil prices dropping. they were the catalyst to the huge selloff we saw yesterday where the dow lost more than 200 points. this is really -- with oil, it's one of those supply and demand 101 issues. if there's more supply and less demand, prices will fall. that is the exact equation that's going on right now with oil. but what investors are really worried about when it comes to oil is what it means for the global economy when you see oil fall so much. more than 40% over the past six months. investors are worried what's behind the decline in oil prices. is it because of more supply? or is the reason because of less demand in economies including in asia and in europe? the worry there is their economic slowdown can move on over to the u.s. and affect companies here. in the meantime, you can celebrate the dow in the green once again, up

cnn's alison kosik joins me now to talk more about this.really was a great year, especially for investors. >> it really was. if you're invested in the market, here's how you most likely are doing, or you track how you're doing. the dow is up 8.8% for the year. the s&p 500 up 12.6% for the year. the s&p 500 is most likely what your investments track, if you have a 401k, or you have an investment fund. it's a broader measure of how the stock market is doing. so everybody wants to know what's going to happen in 2015. what's going to move the market higher? strong earnings from companies. we want companies to do well. they're doing well now. as they're doing well, we want them to hire more. also we want the economy to remain strong. we did see definitely the economy gaining momentum, especially in the third quarter. over the summer, gdp grew at a 5% rate of growth. the reality is it's probably not going to be the kind of growth we see in the fourth quarter. as we turn the corner to 2015, the reality is volatility will pick up because all is not

i want to pause at this juncture to give appreciation to a former u of m graduate, alison. she wrote a senior thesis, and excellent senior thesis, on the history of the memory of the celia case. allison transcribed the trial record, the manuscript material, and it is her transcriptions we will look at over the next few minutes. you all will appreciate allison, i know, as we wrestle with transcribing the letters of sarah douglas. allison spent a year, first transcribing and then analyzing this material and she continues today to work on the celia case, as a jd phd student at yale. what we have in the record are some testimonies prior to the trial, some of the inquest, some of the figures, local farmers who have come to the newsom farm, have talked to celia, have talked to the family, have talked to george. they have provided sworn statements to the inquest body on whether or not celia should be indicted for murder. so, here, william powell, who we know is a local farmer, tells us something of what we know about this, i think, important, but again, hard to figure out figure,
