"when we started having discussions about the possibility that rep. jorgensen was going to retire, the first name that came to mind for me was jacob bossman." jorgensen was first elected to the house in 2010. he says bossman would be a "great replacement and representative of this area." oddly, but comfortably mild for december. here's ben with weather. << << after a mild monday,we'll see very similar temperatures today with a bit more cloud cover overhead which could squeeze out a few sprinkles if not an isolated shower. highs in the you know families today are so stretched... ...they're working two jobs; they're working extra hours, but paychecks have barely budged. raising family incomes is the defining economic challenge of our time... i have a plan that will put raising incomes right at the center of our economy again. we've got to get back to making it possible... ...for anybody in america to go as far as their hard work will take them. that will be my mission as president. i'm

our hampton pierson live at reagan national airport in d.c. what's the update?ur friends at flightaware.com, right now, as of about 15 minutes ago, nationwide, about 600 delays, a little shy of two dozen cancellations. that's in a universe of on any given day, 21,000 flights nationwide. most of the problems are primarily at the atlanta hub but also in new york, chicago, and even some. a few minor delays in d.c. being reported. far below normal and a far better christmas eve getaway travel day. think back to the christmas of 2012 when we had those huge back to back storms in the northeast. there were something like 4300 flight cancellations. fast forward to the here and now. not only the incredibly mild win tir but, lower gas prices for the airlines in particular. they have a lot to celebrate this season. >> it is warm this winter. there is not a lot of snow on the ground, not a lot of ice. the airlines are largely on time. it is one of the best winter seasons from a holiday travel perspective. oil prices are at recent lows. this is going to be a really terrific

katrina pierson -- >> you agree it happened, right?thousands and thousands of muslims were not celebrating after 9/11, no, that did not happen. thanks for being with me this morning. i appreciate it. >> thanks, carol. >>> let's move on to chicago now. outrage in chicago. superintendent out and now protesters say rahm emanuel could be next. >> show us your hands! show us your hands! >> protesters claiming a cover-up accusing rahm emanuel of protecting police during his run for re-election. here's chi-raq director, spike lee. >> who made the decision why this tape was held so long and who saw the tape? so the day before the judge orders the tape be released, the officer gets indicted. shenanigans to me. >> mccarthy's dismissal following angry protests over the police killing of a black teenager shot 16 times last year. now the department of justice is being asked to step in. ryan young is in chicago with more for you. good morning. >> reporter: good morning, carol. tough times here in chicago in fact, a small number of protesters went to

. >>> "outfront" now, donald trump campaign spokesperson, katrina pierson and david brock. david, you heard donald trump. he said hillary clinton should stop using the quote/unquote woman's card in part given her husband's past. fair point? >> no. not at all. this has nothing to do with bill or hillary clinton. politically, this is a strategy by trump to feed red meat to the base because cruz is beating him in iowa. he can't go to the right of cruz on immigration because they both have such a draconian position. he thinks this is going to work with the base that may want to go back and relitigate something from 20 years ago but the public rejected it then, as donald trump did a few years ago. and what he's really trying to avoid here is taking hillary clinton out on the issues where she's got real differences on how to fight isis, where she wants to double down on special forces and have a no-fly zone and he wants to make an alliance with a criminal, a murderer, putin. or let's talk about, quote, woman card. hillary clinton for reproductive choice. trump says no. hillary cl

this, on the news this morning that chairman and ceo michael pierson has taken an indefinite medical leave. the reason, severe pneumonia, at least according to the company. this, from his family, we believe, telling why he has been hospitalized. a group of executives at the company will take over on an interim basis to run the company while mr. pearson is unable to do so. unclear at what point they expect him to return though. they do say interim certainly. valeant, no stranger to controversy. the activist investor. value act also a large shareholder as well. that's not been where the controversy has been. it's been related more to its strategy which has included cutting r & d at many of the companies it requires, using of course a very low tax rate to enable it to have particularly strong numbers when it does acquire companies that have higher tax rates. and also raising the prices of many of the drugs that it brings on board. at least that is some of the criticism. also extending to a unique relationship it did have for some time with a specialty pharmacy which it sold some of its

mike pierson is linked to the strategy there. folks don't know what the succession plan is going to be. they worry if this is something very serious it spells trouble for valeant. >> sam eisley, a top rated fund manager. sam, thank you very much for your time. we understand that you do have a small position in valiant. what's your take on this news? >> i think we take it at face value. i think the man is ill. pneumonia is sort of a critical usually very short-term disorder, disease, and expect him to get pumped up with antibiotics and get out of there. but sometimes it can get more difficult. i have no idea of the specifics of his infection. but usually it's something that's treatable, you go back to work and all is well. >> without casting any aspersions, you don't think there's the possible connection to the stress of what's going on with the company? >> there's a lot of speculation in science about whether or not stress causes disease, but i think there's nothing beyond that. i think the man has pneumonia. >> let's move on to

donald trump's campaign spokesperson, katrina pierson, is "outfront." katrina, let me start with you. you just heard donald trump there and it comes on the same night that we are hearing that ted cruz raised $20 million in one quarter. that's doubling what he raised in one year. second now only to donald trump. it sounds like trump is worried. >> no, not at all. everyone is gearing up to get people out to the caucus and encourage voters and this is a really important election, erin. of course donald trump will be out there. every candidate should be. >> chris, what do you think? is it possible that donald trump -- you look at him in the national polls, consistently the front-runner. is it possible that he doesn't win any of these key early states, iowa, new hampshire, south carolina? >> it's very possible, erin. when you look at primary voters that are polled, they say they are going to do one thing, say they are supporting donald trump and may come to the ballot box and not vote it for him because when national security issues become more and more rele
