The National Retail federation found that about 60 million americans will be shopping between today, saturday and sunday and about 72 million will wait to see if the deals are good enough to justify.

Im going to stay in and watch football. I want that drone to drop it in the hot oil. There could be trouble around the thanksgiving table last night inside the white house. In fact, maybe Vice President biden wasnt invited for thanksgiving dinner. A new report from from the Washington Times pointed out that joe biden was furious at the way defense secretary chuck hagel was sort of forced out. Not happy. They have been longterm senate friends, many years together. Apparently he was not happy about it. Seems there are signs of him running in 2016 so distancing himself perhaps . Weve got part of the article. It says the Vice President let it be known last week that he was, quote, ticked out the way the president forced out chuck hagel. Mr. Hagel was pushed out in less than two years by a white house that is accused of micro managing National Security policy. So is he legitimately very frustrated with president obama and the way that hes been having to follow orders . Or is this more of a political move that Vice President biden is feeling because he is a potential contender for the president ial election . It certainly is hurting Hillary Clintons chances. I think this is going to be harder and harder to tell. In the early times of the Obama Presidency hes going to be in line with
everything obama is thinking. Bull heading into 2016 with an but heading into 2016 with an unpopular president there you have to find some way to distance yourself and is that what this is all about. The president doesnt have to run for reelection so there are moves by the president , he is a lame duck president. Moving people out of Guantanamo Bay is making headlines this morning. Could this have been one of the reasons that chuck hagel was pushed snout that the white house was wanting according to reports chuck hagel to move faster on moving detainees out of Guantanamo Bay. He was being criticized for moving too slowly. Congress requires a signature from the secretary of defense to say that these detainees do not pose any threat to americas National Security, and hagel was reportedly going at a snails pace, according to the white house. Obviously president obama campaigned on this issue of closing it. Six years in, hasnt happened. Last week they released six
detainees, wanting to release more, but defense secretary hagel trying to be a little bit more cautious and possibly thinking as a defense secretary and obama not necessarily liking that. Because it is slowing the process of one of his major tenets he ran on. Is it in our best National Security interest right now to release these guys into the battle field when we know recruitment efforts on isis has been so strong. Do we want these guys on the field fighting us . Recidivism has been so high. They have joined the fight against the United States after we release them. Who is going to take over for chuck hagel . Its not been a good job to have, the defense secretary position. They seem to have been at loggerheads. Robert gates book was pretty damning of the president. Leon panetta pretty damning of the president. Do you want a job that you think im probably going to be forced out of
this and with some sense of shame possibly being forced out, not able to quit. Unless youre a total yes man which is what hes looking for. A former secret service was on happening now yesterday and has this to say. I think thats what you saw with secretary hagel. I think when they positioned secretary hagel in the job, they thought they had a perpetual yes man. In some respect they did, but in some of the more important respects they did not. There is a memo out there with the contents happened to be leaked. I think it points out secretary hagels position it does you no good to have a yes man that doesnt in fact say yes. I think he was clearly pushed out of the door. They are looking for more of a, i hate to say it, more of a jeh johnson type, department of Homeland Security secretary willing
to implement the president s policies no matter what. The white house is set to release another round of detainees from gitmo. Can anyone understand that . He brings up jeh johnson. That might be a good choice. He has carried the water on immigration for the white house. Hes gone to the border, echoed what the president has wanted him to say at the border a few months ago. You could be looking right there at the next secretary of defense. Well have more on this throughout the morning. After violence breaks out in ferguson, how can the Community Rebuild .

After nearly a week of protests it looks like things might be quieting done in ferguson, missouri. How can the community continue to recover following the grand jury
decision not to indict Police OfficerDarren Wilson in the Fatal Shooting of 18yearold Michael Brown . Our next guest has an interesting perspective as the first black ad man on madison avenue, spending 30 years in advertising. And hes also an Award Winning pianist. Roy eaton joins us. Thank you for being with us. With your unique perspective on being in advertising im sure you think what is your audience . What is your product . How do you target it on the audience. I think the first thing you have to resolve to do is to see things truthfully, to see things not just from the perspective that you as an individual have arrived at but rather from many different perspectives. And this is a matter of, well, willingness to do it. We have to be honest about where did this protest come from. How has this protest expanded. It is not just ferguson. It is the entire country that has risen up in shock and anger at what happened. The opportunity this is not just a disaster. It is an opportunity. For one thing, i think its an opportunity to look at our Justice System and see where are there flaws in this Justice System that causes us to see one population as being so negative. Where is it in our criminal Justice System that we have a flaw . And this flaw is evident in so many different ways. The simple fact that a grand jury was called rather than the indictment made directly by the
prosecuting attorney. And a grand jury, theres an undercurrent here that many people are not aware of. A grand jury is not a trial jury, and, therefore, the crossexamination and full examination of evidence is not possible. That is not the reason for grand jury. A full jury set up by a group of people set up to make critical judgment was not made. There are other aspects of our legal system brought into question. Real selfexamination and also examination of the Justice System. Roy, i apologize. Were out of time. But we thank you so much for coming in today and giving us your perspective.

The 81yearold underwent surgery after doctors found a blockage in one of her arteries. She is expected to return to the bench on monday. Thats a quick turnaround. A small dairy farmer in florida has been in business for 25 years, and she prides herself on telling her customers the truth. Now the government wants her to mislead them. So she is fighting back. Here to explain is mary lou wesselhof, Third Generation farmer and owner of the oh cheesy creamery. Thank you for joining us this morning. Let me try to explain this and see if i understand this. Youre talking about your skim milk. In skim milk, when you remove all of the cream off the top it doesnt generally have that much vitamin d in it. Is that correct . It doesnt have as much
vitamin a left in it. Vitamin a. Most places that sell skim milk with vitamin a in it, they add the vitamin a back in it as a fortified product; right . That is correct, they do add the vitamin a back in it. You guys have been doing this for 25 years without adding artificial or additives in it, just selling your skim milk. Now suddenly the Florida State regulations are wanting you to change your naming to this. Tell us about how this happened. We were selling our milk for three years. We just started bottling our milk five years ago. Before that we were part of a dairy cooperative. We had everything approved by the department of agriculture with the labeling. We were selling our skim milk and our customers were very happy. They couldnt believe it was skim milk. Then all of a sudden the state comes in and says you
may no longer sell your skim milk unless you put the vitamin a in it which is against our policy. We dont want to put any kind of additives in our milk. We want it to be just plain natural milk. You want a natural product. They said you could sell it but then you have to change the naming of it to something that gives all indications that it sounds artificial; is that right . Yes, sir, that is correct. I feel like putting nongrade a, allnatural vitamins removed would sort of confuse our customer and the base were targeting are people concerned about how the food is processed, where the food comes from, and it is very important to us to provide the best milk possible. For us, thats no vitamins added. Of course. So they want you to call it a milk product. A nongrade a milk product. If i hear milk product im thinking it is not really a
natural product. What you guys have been doing then, because you still sell the cream you skim off the top of it. Now youre having to dump that skim milk . Yes, we have to dump the skim milk. Thats very disheartening and its very disappointing that we have a Government Agency thaz that is working against us instead of working with us. They want us to confuse our customers and we d
