grady trimble takes us through it. go ahead, grady.ter: so taylor swift mentioned last week in her tweet about her contract dispute that the private equity, the carlyle group, is involved. that group put up money so scooter braun's company could buy swift's old record label. she says she can't perform some of her old songs because of that. this apparently caught elizabeth warren's attention. the senator tweeting this, unfortunately, taylor swift is one of many whose work has been threatened by a private equity firm. they are gobbling up more and more of our economy, costing jobs and crushing entire industries. it's time to rein in private equity firms. alexandria ocasio-cortez also weighing in, saying private equity firms are predatory, hurting millions of americans and claiming leveraged buyouts have cost more than a million jobs, referring there to the retail industry, i suppose. the carlyle group has no comment but a source familiar with that deal says they have a minority stake in this so it's not like they're calling the shots beh

brian: grady trimble from our sister network fox business is live at o'hare airport with a first-handntry on any given day. today it is even busier. the airlines are expecting 32 million people to get on planes during the 12-day thanksgiving holiday travel period that would be a record. it would be up 3.7% compared to last year. this comes at a time when airlines are growing, offering more flights, more seats and and as a result 93,000 more passengers each day are expected to get on airplanes compared to last year. two things to keep in mind as you get ready to travel by plane. the first is the weather. we're expecting a wicked winter storm moving from the west to the midwest. that could cause delays. none here right now. i'm seeing a lot of them out of denver this morning. another thing you might see, hundreds of subcontracted airline catering workers protesting at 17 airports across the country. they're protesting for better pay and benefits including health insurance. they say tear purpose isn't to disrupt holiday travel. they want to call attention to those demands. one thing to k

so that is exactly where we send grady trimble from fox business. he is in the rush. n the highway not too bad. a few miles up the road we saw pretty bad traffic down there. aaa estimates 49 million americans will be on the road this is holiday season that is up 2.8%, compared to the same time last year. part of the reason people are out on the road this is holiday, because the gas prices are low. economy is good. the national average right now is 2.59 per gallon. so not bad, the most expensive place as you could guess to get gas is california. the cheapest place to get gas is louisiana, mississippi, and texas. as far as worst times to hit the road, the worst times for chicago area, 4:15 to 6:15. for you guys in new york, 5:15 to 7:15. basically rush hour. one thing a lot of people across the west and midwest will hit as they're driving or flying today is some pretty rough weather on the roads, guys. back to you. steve: grady, thank you very much. we see grady's face, what he is looking at out the window. brian: the problem, grady, you're not in traffic. steve: that is

grady trimble is live in chicago with more on a that. >> reporter: mcdonald's conducted an investigatione relationship with a current employee and that violated company policy. the company says that easterbrook demonstrated poor judgment by having that relationship but when we asked for further details about what the relationship was, they declined to comment. an attorney for easterbrook also declined to comment any further on the relationship, only offering this statement. mr. easterbrook acknowledges his error in judgment and supports the company's decision. he will not be commenting further at this time. it's important to note, shares doubled under easterbrook since he took over as ceo, back in 2015, so it's been a decent five years for mcdonald's but the past few months have shown some signs of trouble, most recently shares dropped as much as 10% in the third quarter, mcdonald's reported earnings that were far less than what analysts had expected. and when they announced the resignation and the departure of easterbrook, mcdonald's also quickly announced his replacement, chris kamshin
