He just glided up the stairs. I felt like it was gene kelly. Steve its thanksgiving week. Turn the camera around and show who else is here. Dan stand right there. Take your picture. There is joel right there with elizabeth. And then keep going. There is dave. Brian dave can you grab the camera from ted . Its a little complicated. Steve thats part of the crew here for one of the shortest workweeks of the calendar year of course thursday is thanksgiving and friday is the day we all go shopping. Brian let me just give us this is what ted looks like. There you go. Ainsley white page. Brian can you zoom in thats how i envision ted. Ainsley look at the monitor, you cant see anything. He looks like baby on him. Carrying a camera. Steve anyway, its great to have you. Ainsley we can have a lot of fun because it a holiday week. Brian until the news slips. In. Ainsley we have to do that . Cant just have all fun . Steve coming up, we will give you a guideline for how to handle complicated conversations arranged the turkey table this week. Right now talk about the news of the day, President Trump is sending a clear message to Senate Republicans on the tax reform bill. Dont disappoint the American People. Brian right. He did it through twitter. The white house vowing its really to make a deal to get the bill on the president s desk. Ainsley he wants it done fast. Griff jenkins is live in our Nations Capital with what is at stake for you and your family, griff . Griff good morning, guys. Look, this is what is at stake tax relief for millions of americans. Optimistic a bill will hit his desk before the end of the year. Not all senators are on board. Senator collins of maine says the repeal of the individual Obamacare Mandate which is not in the house bill is a Sticking Point for her. President trump was not my choice for the republican nominee for president. And i did not support him. I havent reached that conclusion yet because i think there are going to be further changes. But the biggest mistake was putting in a provision from the Affordable Care act into the senate bill thats not in the house bill. The white house says they are in favor of it but open to dropping it if it means the difference between passing it and collins is most critical because congress can only afford to lose two votes. Johnson says no. Corker and flake on the fence. Not to disappoint the American People he took aim at senator flake saying he will be a nor on tax reform and attacked this hot mike moment. Come the party of roy moore and donald trump, we are toast. Flakes Communications DirectorJason Samuels responding in a tweet quote for the record senator flake is still reviewing the tax reform bill on its merits. How he votes on it will have nothing to do with the president , but you will remember, guys, senator flake announced recently he is not running for reelection next year citing President Trump in that decision. To quote smoky and the bandit we have a long ways to go and a short time to get there. Brian thanks a lot. I appreciate it thats probably the only quote we can use from smoky and the bandit. Jackie gleason was great in that underrated he played the cop. Steve Burt Reynolds was the guy driving the car. Ainsley was it a series or a movie. Steve there were a couple of them. Brian they always went two or three too much. There was meatballs 2. Caddie shack 7. Ainsley what do meatballs and caddie shack have to do with smoky and the bandit. Brian same era. Porkys 9. Tax reform, ainsley, try not to get off track, im kidding. Im just saying on tax reform i think corker and flake and johnson. Those three in particular are not saying im not doing it they are like going in and trying to make it better. So they can get it so they are trying to dig in on it. Ainsley corker and flake dont care because they are not running for reflection. They are not supporting the president. Brian i think senator corker does care. Steve with jeff flake in that very embarrassing hot mike moment if the republicans become the party of trump and moore were toast, you know, so many republicans have already come out regarding roy moore. Keep in mind, donald trump is the leader of the republican party. So, if mr. Flake cant get on board with that, and given the fact that he wrote that antitrump book and suddenly shocked that he is taking on water, he shouldnt be. Brian on senator flake votes with the president on 95 of the time. And even on this. I look for him to take ainsley when i say he doesnt care. I dont mean he doesnt care about the country. I mean he doesnt care about reelection. Brian i happen to know he is actually working on it to make it better. Ainsley bottom line six people have concerns about it whether or not we can only the republicans can only stand to lose two votes. They have to negotiate with four people at least. Now, you wanted to tease Kellyanne Conway. Steve we just put up the big board, Kellyanne Conway is going to be with us less than an hour from right now and ask her all things regarding taxes. Brian elections talk about mexico and what happened in mexico. You have the radars got blown out by the new england patriots. But, before the first kick, there was international news.

Sits during the American National anthem, stands for the Mexican National anthem. Ainsley why would were they playing in mexico city . Brian they always do. Spread the nfl out to london on a regular basis and mexico city. Ainsley thats a question that a lot of people who dont follow the nfl like you do are asking out there. Steve ever since he returned from requirement to the radars he has sat down through every time they have done the National Anthem. So he sat through the starspangled banner yesterday in mexico. As soon as they started playing the Mexico National anthem he stood up. A lot of people are just not too happy. Ainsley reminds me what happened in the u. K. Whenever some of them didnt stand for the National Anthem. Steve exactly the same thing. Brian this is an international embarrassment. When you go overseas and pull this stuff after the league has been urging you not to. A lot of people are blaming the commissioner. I blame the Players Union. The Players Union has to crack down because its hurting the league. 9 the attends is down, ratings are down. Making themselves vulnerable while having a civil war between owners and comirg.

Urgent manhunt at this hour for serial killer in tampa. Ainsley four people are dead and the fbi is going doortodoor and desperately looking for clues. Steve former homicide detective and Fox News Contributor ted williams has been down in tampa. He has the latest from the area. Ted, i understand there is a big reward. But what is so perplexing for the cops down there is the randomness of the selection of these victims. Yeah. It is the randomness of the selection of the various individuals who have been killed here. Let me take you back to october 9th, right around that time and during the course of that month of october, they found three individuals who were shot. They believe that he was all three of these individuals were shot by the same individual. Now, lets pass now to november the 14th, on november 14th, a gentleman by the name of ron feltton, 60yearold black man. Exited at this bus stop here, started to walk across the street to a homeless shelter where he was going to help out during the day. And in the middle of the street here, he was shot and killed. The individual then took off and ran. The key is that all of these killerring have taken place within a one mile radius of each other, Law Enforcement now believes that all of these killings are connected. And when we look at these killings, one of the central things may very well be the bus stop because all of the killings took place by a bus stop. Now, when you look at october 9th, Law Enforcement has put out a video. On n. That video on october 9th you see a long tall lengthy man. And you can see in his right hand, that he is using a cell phone as hes walking. But then on november 14th, after the killing of fell ton, we find that there was another video that fit the same description. And when he came to fell ton, there has been a person of interest that theyre looking at, a black man about 6 feet tall. Ainsley so not random in the fact that its all within one mile vicinity. But random in the types of people or they are not connected, i guess . Whats interesting though, too, if you look at that street behind you, its very busy. I thought it would be like on a dark road, maybe in the middle of the night. But that looks like a busy area. Thank you so much ted williams for giving that information, the latest. My pleasure.
