we have lots of people joining us. maria theresa kumar president of vote latino.f different numbers to throw at you. right here, you see, this is the total number, the estimated number of undocumented people who are in this country, just south of 12 million. 11.7 million of them. lot of talk, we know in 2012, president obama took executive action to protect certain people who have come here as minors, basically there were strict rules in 2012 that applied to 1.2 million people brought here before the age of 16. they had to be under 30 years old when they applied. strict rules set in 2012. protected 1.2 million of them. the range of options for tonight, what to listen for in the president's speech. first of all, i think we're expecting the president is going to expand that, in terms of the number of minors that are covered, to expand to anybody who came here under the age of 16. they could be 40, 50, 60, if they were brought here under the age of 16, they're eligible. that would be approximately, these are estimations, 500,000 more who would be protected. couple ot

i'm here with a small business administration, administrator maria contrera sweet who will tell us more about why this day is so important. maria? >> we are here to make small business a really big deal. today's economy is so strong. we have now created over 10 million jobs in the last few years. two out of three new jobs are being created by small businesses. we've had 56 months of consecutive job growth. so, this is why we're celebrating small businesses, because they've created all this job growth. two out of three new jobs being created by small business? that's unbelievable. >> the time is now to get out and do some shopping. you mentioned to me that this is a fairly new concept. only about five years this has been going on. is that right? >> that's right. it's already organic. people just instinctively want to celebrate small. and so we created small business saturday to promote the idea that, yes, large box stores are important. america needs the big corporations to compete internationally. but we also want the local unique flavors, the special gifts out of a boutique that was ha

and maria is at the starting line to give us a sneak peek inside. >> hey, maria. >> reporter: good morning. good to see you. hello, everyone. we're here live for the macy's thanksgiving day parade at k9d a.m. eastern time right where we're standing. we're located at 77th and central park west in manhattan. the parade route will take you down 6th avenue to macy's harrold square. it will be a fun day out here. we'll have several new balloons and floats that are partaking in celebration. outside balloons and floats you'll have cheer leaders, dancers, singers, clowns going down the parade route and several marching bands. hundreds of thousand of people gathered last night to watch the balloons be filled with air. that's going to be fun as well. thankfully this year the weather conditions are pleasant across new york city. we're not looking at strong wind gusts. sometimes if you look at gusts that reach 34 miles per hour or greater you're looking at the balloons being pulled down. thankfully, of course, that's not a concern today. and it feels pretty mild. you're looking at windchill temperatur

our reporter maria lesser uses the humble butterfly to illustrate the importance of biodiversity, andlants, and humans depend on each other. >> up to 14 million species inhabit our planet. animals, plants, fungi, and microorganisms. but do we need them all? butterflies, for example. biologists have identified around 180,000 different species. they can be found here, and here, and here, too. they look very different, and are also different in terms of many of their genes. genetic diversity helps species to adapt to environmental change and survive. and that ensures the survival of species that rely on them. many birds, for example, feed on caterpillars. and cats feed on birds. the pyramid of dependence goes on and on. if the butterflies at the base of it go missing, then it can have a big impact on species diversity as a whole. and animal diversity can affect plant diversity. that's because butterflies feed on nectar from flowers, and in the process act as pollinators. without them, many flowering plants would be unable to propagate. by destroying natural habitats, human beings pose a

maria ines ferre joins us now with those stories. >> michael, the man who allegedly killed an university of virginia student pleaded not guilty today to an unrelated sexual assault charge. jesse matthews is accused of attacking a young woman in 2005. he also faced murder charges for the death of hanna graham. graham's remains were found in september after a month-long search, despite the best efforts of the government to stop it, the coal ash management commission met today. it was created in response to a huge duke energy spill of coal ash that coated 70 miles of a river. >> this commission will focus on science, safety, and economics. not politics. we report to the citizens of north carolina, not a government entity. >> the governor filed the lawsuit claiming the commission violates the state leaders oppose it. >> 18-year-old nola burke died today after collapsing at a fraternity party thursday. the suspension could last until the end of the semester. >>> two workers stuck 68 stories in the air when a cable loosened on their scaffold wednesday. it was a long hour before firefighters re

. >> maria, could republicans use immigration as an excuse to hold loretta lynch's nomination? >> i think the republicans are going to use any excuse to make sure everything that the president does fails. they've been doing it time and time again. he's been president now for over six years and they've made it very clear that as long as he fails, they feel they're succeeding. unfortunately it's at the cost of the american people and continuous gridlock. this past election showed that the folks -- that americans, they want their government to work. we'll give you control of congress, as long as you work with the administration. stop the gridlock. let's get something done. >> but, you know, clarence, the thing that's really, really crazy about republicans politicizing loretta lynch's nomination, is that the senate confirmed her twice to positions already. >> that's right. >> the daily beast wrote in the 2010, the senate approved lynch by voice vote. voice vote. meaning republicans didn't see her as controversial. i mean, she was approved by a voice vote in 2002. so why would her n

joining us maria carduena. welcome to both of you.oing to be fun. >> crystal, i want to start with you. senator rand paul had harsh words about the gop brand. according to the hill, paul said first he started with a question, you remember domino's pizza they admitted our crust sucks. the republican party brand sucks so people don't want to be a republican and for 80 years african-americans have had nothing to do with the republicans. crystal, does the gop brand suck? >> well, senator paul is correct. black americans have shied away from the party of lincoln for decades upon decades, and i've been critical of my own party and the brand, i don't know if the brand sucks, the brand needs -- is in disrepair. it needs some refurbishing. how about that, victor. really, what we have going for us and the reason you see us making this a tight race in the senate is the republican party as i've always said we have a great message, we don't change our message if you're black or you're a woman or you're a man. we don't engage in these false identit

us. >> thank you, maria. thank you very much. >> let's look at tomorrow when business gets back to usual. what do you want congress to prioritize in terms of getting things done beginning tomorrow? >> the main thing we have to do right now between now and december 11th is to make sure that we get all of the spending straightened out for the end of the fiscal year which is next september 30th. right now all authorization for spending expires on december 11th and i don't think it's good for congress or good for the republican party or good for the people for us to go bogged down in a budget debate between now and the end of the year and into next year with a republican house and republican senate, i want a clean slate to lay out our agenda and have real budget fights going into next year but not to be having them now when it's done under the gun and possible threat of a government shutdown and again we should wrap it up through september 30th and as of january 1st start fighting it out over what policies are an

us with that angle. good morning. >> good morning, maria. good morning, everyone. divided government reflects a divided people. but on tuesday, they largely spoke with one voice, throwing support behind republicans, but it was the fourth such switch in just the last eight years. take a look at this question. it's simple and direct. it says, had enough? a flyer from one candidate summing up the mood of many candidates across the country. friday's white house lunch of sea bass and also for the president a serving of crow showed few signs of a more positive mood with the president vowing to move ahead on his controversial executive order on immigration despite, as you heard from lindsay graham, strong republican opposition. take a look at this fox news poll taken before the election. only 40% of americans were satisfied with the way things were going. 59% said they were not satisfied. that sour move sent democratic incumbents packing. the newly elected members will try to turn the page and bring hopes to the nation's capital. like the first black republican woman elec

joining us from our sister network, fox business, maria bartiromo. the good news here is that this takes the president out of the awkward position of vetoing this. that's the good news. >> for now. >> so this will likely come up in january. the republicans will bring this back and i suspect this is something that most agree on. >> they might have enough votes to trump his veto. >> exactly. you have to look at the oil market as a global market because it is. when you look at the idea that more oil will be in the global market, you see the supply is increasing and you have to believe that will send gasoline prices lower. i think the other day when the president spoke about this, he missed the fact that this is a global market. he said, it's canadian oil coming into our land, being exported to other countries. and he said it would not impact gasoline prices. i think that's really misleading because you're not looking at the market as a global market because this market is global. not just on the supply side much things, but the demand side of things as

>> joining us now, maria bartiromo.m are upset, especially the libertarian wing. they've been saying that for a long time. will they do that now? >> i think there will be a lot more scrutiny on the federal reserve with the new congress. i don't know that it is going to be the top priority because i think right now they're looking at the excel pipeline, they're looking at tax reform, hoping to get something done. i don't think it will be number one on the agenda. however, i think at this point people are wondering why interest rates have been at such artificially low levels, why it is the banking sector has been scrutinized so much to the extent that they have to raise their capital levels and as a result they're not lending as much as they would. all of these issues, i think, are going to come up. the regulatory environment may very well be pulled back. the federal reserve rules, as well, as congress looks at this. but, again, i don't see this as the number one priority in the -- you know, in the early years. >> and you
