phil. yeah, absolutely. >> chad myers, thanks so much.nwhile, out west, a different kind of weather problem. let's take you to utah, where a man triggered an avalanche and then proceeded to save his brother who got buried under the snow. according to authorities, the pair were snowmobiling on wednesday when it happened. the one brother who was further down the slope was swept under the snow and fully buried using a transceiver. the man managed to find his brother under the snow by spotting just a couple of his fingers and his gloved hand sticking out. he sustained only minor injuries in the end. well, you can follow the show on x at the lead cnn. if you ever miss an episode of the lead, you can listen to the show wherever you get your podcasts. the news continues now. cnn with wolf blitzer in the situation room.

phil. yeah, we'll definitely have to wait and see. steve contorno for us live. thanks so much. joined now by some fantastic reporters on this christmas eve semaphores. burgess everett, cnn's kayla tausche, and cnn's stephen collinson. i think the availability of great reporters might underscore the fact that at least three of us have young children and maybe just want some time out of the house on some level. i'm kidding. no kidding. >> no comment to my family watching at home. >> i love all of you. i love you all very much. merry christmas burgess, i want to start with you because the dynamics of the first 100 days, steve did a great job laying out, particularly on the executive order and executive action piece. the trump white house can handle that. the trump white house needs the republican senate and the republican house to handle a huge chunk of the agenda going forward. you write the senate budget committee may move a budget resolution in early to mid january that would keep congress on track for a trump signature on border funding by sometime in february, pending the ine

phil yeah, the default. so just a one hour ago. i'm fully on the not true yet it's. it's a bit of a logistical challenge here. because remember, some of these children called books without having to get real choice and then they have to bring through, i'm just a big crowd here for somebody to come and read them about people waving flags of people with balloons. and what's gonna happen is they're going to come through this door to the right. and then they'll be treated by these people. and they'll be taken through to begin that journey, say, with united states. and remember, these people are here because as part of that one's welding it's cumulative process for these children, the factual and here i taught them everywhere from 2 years old, all the way through to 17 years old who's been through the most hobbling operating experience is a 2 year old, who had a like somebody tons of, uh, 2 brothers who sold that says the guy who are here with a mother, one of them have to have his on up and take it. they've got to leave left, 4 year old brother be fine. and then now here

phil. yeah, absolutely. >> chad myers, thanks so much. meanwhile, out west, a different kind of weather problem. let's take you to utah, where a man triggered an avalanche and then proceeded to save his brother who got buried under the snow. according to authorities, the pair were snowmobiling on wednesday when it happened. the one brother who was further down the slope was swept under the snow and fully buried using a transceiver. the man managed to find his brother under the snow by spotting just a couple of his fingers and his gloved hand sticking out. he sustained only minor injuries in the end. well, you can follow the show on x at the lead cnn. if you ever miss an episode of the lead, you can listen to the show wherever you get your podcasts. the news continues now. cnn with wolf blitzer in the situation room. >> happening now, a new u.s. assessment that a russian air defense system may have downed a passenger plane in neighboring kazakhstan. >> stand by for an update on the deadly crash. as questions swirl about what went wrong and

brynn, take us through this video yeah. >> phil and brianna so we are only showing a few seconds of thisobtained obviously, because it is very alarming to watch. essentially what we see in that video is the ceo of unitedhealthcare, brian thompson walking toward the hotel here behind me and behind him comes the suspected gunman that police are still searching for. so you can see how he approaches thompson from the back before then where we freeze the video. he fires those shots at thompson. what you do not see from these five seconds, and i can tell you, is that we also see someone sort of running the opposite direction. so that is something, of course, that police are going to be looking into in this video, breaking it down frame by frame by frame to kind of figure out who might have witnessed this. witnesses, they of course, are going to want to talk to anyone who might have witnessed this again, it happens at the really front step of this entrance of this hotel. so there's possible some security there as well. and then of course, follow the path of that gunman as we already have learne

yeah, it's wonderful. phil mackie, bbc news, stratford—upon—avon. time for a look at the weather.r you can watch on iplayer. next, it's newsnight. the comeback kid. peter mandelson is to be our man in washington. can he do deals with the donald or will he be fired? the crime that shocked the world was committed against gisele pelicot.

yeah, it's wonderful. phil mackie, bbc news, stratford—upon—avon. time for a look at the weather. answer to that is probably not, because it will simply be too mild. but lots of whether to get through in the meantime, including a very windy weekend in store and some rain. a lot of that will be falling through the day tomorrow. but today, we are seeing some sunshine. it's been feeling cold with a north—westerly wind, but the area is set to turn milder as we had to tonight. there will be areas of cloud, outbreaks of rain putting down from the north—west, along with those milder conditions. so we will see the coldest air across parts of south—east england and eastern england into tomorrow morning, perhaps a touch of frost here, but milder further north and west. tomorrow, rain already across scotland towards the north—west and through northern ireland. all of that cloud and rain gradually tracks southwards and eastwards across england and wales through the afternoon. but some sunny spells behind and also some showers. already windy, and that is milder with those westerly winds. it st

yeah, it's wonderful. phil mackie, bbc news, stratford—upon—avon.ess today up next. hello there. some very blustery weather over the next few days and it is looking particularly windy wherever you are through the weekend. and a whole range of temperatures, too. milder again on friday and saturday, briefly colder on sunday, then temperatures are set to rise as we head into christmas itself — which is not looking white at all. but until then, a lot of weather to get through, including tonight. there is an approaching couple of weather fronts, bringing some outbreaks of rain and plenty of cloud. also, milder—feeling air as well, marked in yellow. so, rising temperatures for many for the rest of the night but still a chilly start across eastern areas of england. here, some early brightness but it's not set to last. it will cloud over as our fronts continue to push their way further southwards and eastwards into england and wales by the afternoon. blustery showers, brighter conditions following on behind but brisk westerly winds, particularly for western

phil spector. now your book's out there. yeah.t, how would you feel about your life story being turned into a film with someone playing you? i would be sort of embarrassed, but it's ok, you know? imean... why would you be embarrassed? i don't know why. i mean, because it's not me, really. but that's ok, you know? i mean, i did serpico, right? serpico, big picture — but, i mean, when it was on the stands to buy the book, and there was my picture on the cover, serpico. and i said, "but it's a book." and it's that... i'm not serpico — but i was a famous actor then. so, you know, how do you think he felt, you know? that'd be a heck of a thing, for someone to play al pacino. really? yeah. well, there's me, and then there's the roles i played. who do you view nowadays as being, like, say, three actors who could be the equivalent? oh, that's something good to think about. i have to... i would have to think about it. you know, there are actors i really like today, there are wonderful actors today. well, of course, there's leo. dicaprio. t

yeah. >> and phil, we also got a little glimpse as to how president carter was behind the scenes, how he was as a boss, and laura newman was telling us that he would question and challenge everybody here just to make sure that everybody was giving their best to make sure that the causes that they were fighting for really had 100% commitment. very telling the story that laura newman told us. phil, now back to you. >> such great personal stories from rafael romo. eva mckend. thanks so much with us. now, joey recker, he's a plains, georgia native and the mayor of plains. population, give or take 500 600 people. mr. mayor, i really appreciate your time. i think what's so striking? you just heard it from some of the personal stories from eva on the ground there. the world has lost a leader. it has lost a humanitarian. plains has lost a great neighbor, a farmer, a sunday school teacher. how are people in your town responding today well, we're we're we're sad, but we're but we're proud. >> we couldn't be more proud to have been his neighbor, his friend. >> you know, he's always the president of

yeah. >> so phil, you know, the federal constitution, which only applies to governmental actors. so the federal government, state governments, local governments has this very ambiguous, very vague phrase that says that states are required to provide the equal protection of the laws. and the supreme court has interpreted that historically to mean that when states when the federal government is going to treat people differently based upon sex or race or other, you know characteristics that the government has to have an especially good reason for doing so. and the question that the justices are resolving in this case is whether treating people differently because of transgender status is in line with those other characteristics, is deserving of that kind of heightened constitutional protection. you know, as you say, i think the the biggest top line takeaway from today's argument is it's hard to find five justices who seem inclined to rule that way is there a role for parental rights in these arguments, in the law, in what's being discussed right now inside the court you know, i woul

phil, i think of the question. >> yeah, commerce and philip bumped from the washington post.d sparring partner on house oversight beams had an interview today, he is one of the central people pushing for the impeachment of joe biden based on what hunter biden had done. and he said this, he was asked if he would hold the same standard for president trump, he said as long as president trump is transparent i think the american people will give him a pass on his business activity. but it if it ever comes out he has secret deals or whatever, that could potentially be a problem with the deal. i was curious what your thoughts on that word. >> well, if you take the emoluments clause, for example, it says that nobody in federal government, including the president, will accept an emolument of any kind whatsoever from a foreign state, king, or prince. and we know the donald trump when he was in office accepted at least $8 million from the chinese government, from the royal crown prince of saudi arabia, from the united arab emirates, from indonesia, and so on. whether he does that public

yeah. first of all, phil, thanks for having me here. >> look, i think there is concern, certainly, among publicealth officials both in and outside of government. um, we don't know the risk of this having sustained human to human transmission. that's what we worry about for causing a pandemic. but we know plenty to act. now. we know plenty to up our game on detection, to up our game, on testing to make sure we have enough vaccines for americans so that if the if the virus mutates further and starts spreading more easily, we can actually halt its spread and protect people. so we know plenty to act and predicting exactly what the virus is going to do three, six, 12 months down the road is very hard business, but preparing is not. and that's what we got to be doing. >> doctor shah, on an individual level is there. are there things people should be doing right now just to be careful to prevent contracting this? if it does end up transmitting human to human? >> yeah. so right now, because we have not seen sustained human to human transmission, the main ways people are getting it is from sick birds. s

yeah. phily was also a chinese american architect based in san francisco, and he was a historian and documented a lot of the chinatown buildings that we refer to in this study. so we owe a lot to that. so i guess i would celebrate that. great. thank you, commissioner. right. thank you. i want to echo the comments that my fellow commissioners have made and also just thank you for this amazing document. i agree with the suggestions for ways to continue to expand the information that will feed into this and just encourage you to continue with the planned meetings going forward and community outreach going forward and incorporate anything that that comes from that into this document. it's very rich. thank you. thank you, thank you. i really, really enjoyed reading this document. and i do have a few questions and comments, and i'm not sure if my first question is a loaded question or if it's just a naive question, but how come clement street is not a chinese cultural district? is that not a good ques

elect himself and his most senior aide saying they will, in fact, be pardoned. >> yeah, i mean, it's clear to people like phil grillo that they are going through this process and they have to in a way that respects it, respects the federal judges there before he did say at his sentencing hearing today that he wished he hadn't been there on january 6th when he joined that mob. but judge lamberth says that he needs to do his job as well. and he noted he was bound by his oath of office. and the president will do his job. it's as simple as that. >> katelyn polantz. thank you. i know you'll be following that as we get closer to january 20th and beyond. brianna. >> day four. in more than 16 hours of deliberations in the daniel penny trial and the jury appears deadlocked on one of the counts, the 26 year old ex-marine faces manslaughter and negligent homicide charges in the death of jordan neely, a homeless man he's accused of choking to death inside of a new york subway car. nealy's family is now speaking out, saying penny had a choice not to commit this alleged crime jordan neely didn't have to die that day. >> he

yeah. i mean that's so true. phil, i talked to somebody involved in the transition process this morning who said would not be surprised if more came out about pete hegseth and that could potentially sink his nomination. they're just they're going through the motions. they're hoping that they can save it for now. one other thing that i want to talk about and it's it's inside what you just mentioned, which is somebody was screaming a question to him about whether or not he is an alcohol problem. um and that is something that is part of donald trump's personal story his older brother, fred passed away his, uh alcoholism was a big part of donald trump's life he hasn't drank at all. the president elect does not drink at all. listen to what donald trump himself said about this in 2017, i had a brother, fred, great guy, best looking guy, best personality much better than mine but he had a problem. >> he had a problem with alcohol and he would tell me, don't drink, don't drink he'd also add don't smoke but he would say it ove

yeah, okay. well, this has been fun. appreciate it. nice to nice to have you, greg and phil. nice to meet you. and claudine. okay, so before we go, we want to let you know that we would love to hear from you. so send us >> i'm anna garcia right now on true crime news. a single mom found dead hanging from a mailbox by a pair of shoelaces. investigators say that she took her own life. her family says it's just not possible. was it all staged? >> this is not a suicide by hanging. >> then they came on true crime news, fighting for justice against a disgraced doctor. >> this man is a monster. >> my body knew something was wrong. >> doctor david farley, accused by more than 200 patients of sickening abuse and sued for a billion dollars. now, after our story aired, a major developmen. when 37 year old jessica johnson was found dead, investigators ruled it a suicide. but the single mom's body was discovered in such a bizarre position that her family is convinced that she was murdered and that the crime scene was staged, and they are determined to figure out what really happened to her. by all accounts, 37 year old

yeah. again, i know as much as you do, probably less,. >> phil, you want to jump in with another question?erybody is fixated on that right now, but, ed, i was just over in europe and the airports, as people are flying there, when you get there, the number of people you see from north america you can tell the americans are there in different cities. it's just astounding. do you expect that to slow down in any fashion in the next year? because it just -- it kind of blew me away compared to past times when i've been to europe? >> transatlantic travel has been by far the highest growth that we've seen of all of the forms of travel and it's all demographics. there's a secular move to travel and transatlantic has been the area we've seen the greatest growth in. we anticipate next year being another step up and it's not just transatlantic. it's asia, south america. only place in the world we haven't seen that is china. there tends to be not a lot of demand on either side between transit there. that's been a change. we've taken the planes and rerouted them to other areas. the transatlantic has bee

. >> yeah, well, but no reason for anybody to be really concerned. while phil murphy does nothing, other elected officials, they are demanding answers. the biden administration, they are pretty short on details. you decide. >> that was an amateur hour presentation where they told us nothing. when i got here today, i was concerned about what i could tell my constituents to ease their concerns. now i'm legitimately concerned. the colonel of state police told us that he had one of his helicopters hovering above one of these drones, but felt unsafe for the pilots. so he let the drone go and had them come land. we are not the state police, the department of homeland security, the fbi. they are not doing what they need to do to figure out what the issue is. there's their answer to us was they don't have any answers and they're not sure what's going on. >> since november the 18th. can't make it up now. new jersey congressman jeff van drew, he speculated that these drones are from the number one state sponsor of terror, iran, and do pose a very serious threat to our ho

phil matier was also part of that. shout out to the producer, kate ebb. she was really responsible for putting all this together and did a terrific job. so congratulations to her and everybody. >> yeahyou were up late. so another congratulations. >> congratulations. come here. yes. looks fun. i got a shout out from the stage specifically after these awards were mentioned. >> i got a and reggie aqui. you need to go to bed. why are you still here? it was from someone who doesn't even work at the station. i loved it. it was roberta. >> oh my gosh. she understands. she. she understands. she's done the show for many hours. shout out to roberta gonzalez. yeah, totally. i hate when people remind us you got to go to bed. i'm like, no, i know. and i left. yeah. like. thank you. i'll take my word and i'll go home. i really did. congrats. that's awesome. this morning we're looking live outside from our exploratorium camera. it's another warm afternoon. it's a pattern. we're going to repeat for several days ahead. so the accuweather headlines today and tomorrow. we're keeping that warm sunshine the dry conditions. temperatures remain about 5 to 10 degrees above average over the weekend. it'll l

phil the swamp. can you talk more about this and what you think the trump team is putting back together? >> yeah, we heard him talk a lot about corruption in the later days of his first election campaign, and even in his first presidency. not necessarily doing a lot about it, but it was an important slogan. he is not talking about that when he talks about corruption, when he talks about his people supposedly in the deep state going after him and persecuting him. we have seen a real shift in focus. and i think despite the claims of populism that get attached to trump, and maybe the reason people voted for him were populist reasons. he is putting in very powerful people in industry, lobbyist. and you are going to see in an administration that has policies to reflect that. >> barbara, i have not had an opportunity to talk to a lawyer in a long time, so the glasses are coming off, as usual. this is a legal question, but more so and administration doj question. one would want to believe that at some point the weaponization of the doj, if it does get to that, will garner some pushback internally, with

yeah, bret. >> this is a textbook example of why the public has such little trust in government. i mean, governor philion to give to his states' residents. you heard john kirby a lot of weaselly words a lot of spin but not a lot of answers. the pentagon press secretary gave us very little information. we don't know what agency or jurisdiction has control and can actually give some answers to the public over who is responsible for monitoring these drones. and, look, i think there is a very serious national security component to it, there was a report in the free press out tonight there is a concern former senior trump official said that china is behind this and perhaps other drones that we have seen off the coast in our country. so, there need to be answers and there needs to be a lot more transparency from the federal government. >> bret: speaking of transparency from the federal government, a look back at outgoing fbi director wray talking about january 6th and who was there as far as being tied to the fbi. >> i'm not going to get into where we have and have not used confidential human sources. i can

so as we move forward, phil, we will be hearing stories on a day to day basis about how jimmy carter was connected to the state of georgia. >> yeahno question about that. ryan young, for us in plains, i want to turn to the former anchor of this program, who used to be called judy woodruff's inside politics. she's now a special correspondent for the pbs newshour and has been covering jimmy carter since 1970, when he was the governor of georgia. this photo we're going to pull up right now, it's from february of 1976, when judy was questioning then presidential candidate jimmy carter. judy, thanks so much for coming back to inside politics. um, i want to start with kind of this moment. i'm always struck by the lead of an obituary, which sounds a little morbid, but it tells you a lot the length of it, which is jimmy carter's, isn't just that he was the 39th president or that he was a governor. it is about six, seven, eight clauses in one, which i think underscores the legacy that he left even after the white house. >> no question, phil, and i'm so glad to be with you today. this day after president carter's passing. remarkable. the l

yeah ♪ ask your eye doctor about prescription miebo. ♪ kevin: 50 minutes after the hour now. last week the robertson of duck dynasty fame revealed that their patriarch, philxpressing their -- expressing their gratitude for the support they've received. >> so the outpouring of love, of support, of prayer just has almost been overwhelming for me. kevin: overwhelming, indeed. our next guests are duck family treasure stars and sons of phil robertson, jace and jep. i'm so grad you guys are spending time with us this morning. obviously, merry christmas to you and yours. this is one of those topics that hits so many families across mesh. we love phil -- across america. we love phil, i hope you know that, and i'm hoping the support you receive of from around the world has been a renext of that, guys. -- reflection of that. >> we appreciate that. you know, we decided to go public a couple weeks ago about this, and and he actually had, has add had a blood disease for years that they've always managed, but it kind of just accelerated, and his body started breaking down. you know, he's had multiple fractures mainly in his vert bray, and he has two currently now that

phil matier and former san francisco mayor willie brown were featured speakers. abc seven news reporters lyanne melendez, stephanie sierra, luz pena and our own reggie aqui were among the winners. >> yeah for the award. i famously don't get awards for anything, so i'm breaking a record and that feels uncomfortable. >> uncomfortable? no way. you look so happy. yeah, so well rested. even though it took you into the night. >> but when your personality is based on losing awards, what's my personality now? a winner. >> you're a winner, reggie. accept it. >> that doesn't feel right. >> live in that moment. make space for it. do it all. up next, the seven things you need to know today. >> seriously, though, thanks for the award as we head to break at 655. and oh, they're not. they're a lot of the sea lions aren't there? and they're all on one floating dock. who knows? we'll be right back. if you're just joining us, here are the seven things to know. this morning. number one, we could have a verdict any day in the trial over the killing of cash app founder bob lee. the jury began deliberations yesterday, but did not reach a decision. >> number two, police in new york are searching for the pers

some complaints from phil murphy and others about that comment saying new jersey is a great place for martians to visit. >> great place, except for the taxes. okay. apparently. yeah send him to alabama, but our football team's not doing so well this year. but but honestly, on this and your point there about the pentagon is a good one because we heard from john kirby today. he used to be at the pentagon and he he said it appears that many of the reported sightings are actually manned aircraft that are being operated lawfully. but there is such a heightened sense of public concern that what we are hearing, and this has been going on for days now, it's not making anyone feel any better about it. >> yeah, well, maybe there's a sensitivity or an awareness factor for lights in the sky, especially after a year and a half of congressional testimony of people declaring that we're being visited. so if this gets people to look up, you know, i'll take it. as an astrophysicist, i might sign off to my podcast is keep looking up. and if looking up means you're more aware of what's in the sky and if that can be helpful to lawmakers to the pentagon, then then let's keep doing it.

yeah, it'll be fascinating to watch. in the initial days, weeks, potentially months as well. general mark hertling, thanks so much, sir. appreciate it. >> thanks, phil. >> well, coming up, a closer look at the soon to be second lady of the united states, who is usha vance and what will she do with the platform? she'll soon have? plus, it's still 2024, but you can bet some of the people you see on your screen right here, they're already having conversations about 2028. can't fool myself. >> it was the most exciting time in the world. >> his life has truly joyful moments and some really difficult moments. >> you only come across an artist like luther vandross once in a lifetime. >> luther. never too much new year's day on. >> i've got this. >> hey, susan. toothbrush. big interview, huh? nice new suit, new haircut, ancient bristle stick. make the sonicare switch. all right, now go knock em dead, boss. can i get the wi-fi? am i hang here? >> yeah. your worst nightmare. your car broke down. now you're worried if it's going to cost you a fortune in repair bills. unless you already call carshield the legit number one auto protection company in the country.

phil's tv show. >> did you hit your sister over the head with a baseball bat or a flashlight? >> absolutely not. >> if someone in your house did, do you think you would have heard it probably yeah. you know, everybody's got a theory. there's the burke group, the john group, the patsy group, the intruder group. and they all feel very passionately that they're right and everybody else is wrong. >> this isn't rocket science. >> do you think she was a disciplining the child? it got out of hand. >> my guess is, yeah, there was some sort of explosive encounter between mother and daughter that resulted in this child dead. to those of you who may want to ask, let me address very directly. i did not kill my daughter jonbenet. uh, there have also been innuendos that she has, has been or was sexually molested. they are totally false. >> i'm appalled that anyone would think that john or i would be involved in such a hideous, heinous crime. >> but let me assure you that i did not kill jonbenet. >> i think from the very start there was a sense that this case might just become a cold case, and it has become, you know, the mother of all cold cases. at this point, the prospect that we're ever g

phil murphy says the state is taking the drones, quote, deadly seriously. >> these are apparently very, as i understand it, very sophisticated. the minute you get eyes on them, they they go dark. >> so, yeah, they're sophisticated. and they're also big sean. witnesses described them as the size of small suvs or a dining room table. so tonight, still tons of questions. virtually no answers. speaking of governor murphy, he's going to host two separate briefings tomorrow morning, starting at 10:00 with new jersey mayors and other state leaders. we'll send it back to you. >> all right, nate foy, thank you. how we don't have a greater sense of urgency here is unreal. this could be a dry run. this could be a potential attack. they don't know a thing about it. here with more fox news contributor, drone expert brett velicovich is with us. and the mayor of one of the new jersey towns where the drones have been spotted. matthew morello is with us. mr. mayor, let's start with you. this is what your governor. i'm not too fond of him. he doesn't seem too bright. said. he said that these are very sophisticated. you just heard nate say we're talking about the size of a dining room, not a not a little dr

the phil phil, as you speak, we're seeing the footage of trump the immediate aftermath with the fist res, thank fight, fight fight. and you know the bandage on the air then at the republic. uh yeah, that's right. on the air or the republican convention, you know, he was graze bite the bullet, a few centimeters to the right or to the left. he could have been killed. what has he been saying about this? what other time you remember that he praised about shot that he was referring to? remember he turned to the side and said he'd have tons of the side of the time. then it would have killed him. he was supportive of the secret service. you know, he said that they would linebackers but came on to, to rescue him and even after the 2nd assassination attempt to support it of them. remember the, i think direct this lead tomorrow. log and see months later, that's after that 2nd assassination attempt. but he was also critical of the fact that he didn't feel he was being given the same level of protection as cho find. that was something that saw the current president lights that corrected and he was given the same protection as kind of the harris. i'm joe biden, but he's, it has been fully su

unclear, phil, how serious donald trump is about this, but there's no question that he's really trying to assert his assert, his authority and his dominance over some of these foreign leaders. >> yeahu're certainly seeing that. alayna treene. thanks so much. i'm joined now by some fantastic reporters, margaret talev of axios noted ohio state university graduate bloomberg's kayla gardner and cnn's isaac de vere would also note that with the exception of isaac, either current or former bloomberg white house correspondents here, yes, you feel a little left out. >> went to johns hopkins university. >> so that's yeah, we're all bloomberg. when he was mayor in some way, shape or form, i want to talk about the foreign policy aspects here, because i think when you see trump posting, you kind of have to go through a punch list of is he trolling? is he just being funny? and whether you like him or not, like he can be pretty funny. does this really matter or is he trying to distract from something? greenland, canada? panama canal. how do those slot into. >> how do you draw a circle around all those things? >> right. >> yeah, i do think it's been kind of a shortcut or shorthand to say that the

yeah. covered it for a >> covered it for a couple of years. >> the latest i have heard phil, they have notlder police were so completely incompetent they haven't used all the methods that are in use now and we actually might get an answer, supposedly, for who did that and using the dna. >> everyone would love it, if they can get answers. >> no kidding. we got to move on. but pop culture, we cover that, too. >>> >> just after 8:00 a.m. on the east coast and you are watching squawk box on cnbc. i'm here along with joe kernen. andrew is hosting the "new york times" conference but will join us for a preview it is a little bit. >>> among thai days top stories, a few earnings movies -- movers, lacquer missed profit expectations and that stock is down 17%, that is a big dip from what we saw earlier this morning. >>> shares of dollar tree are rising after the dollar store chain beat 3rd quarter top and bottom line . right now, you can see it is up by 6%. then food giant campbell's, company insider -- as new ceo. is going to be succeeding the current chief executive mark clouse on february 1st. he'
