And later a sunday sitdown with one of the biggest moguls in hollywood. Tyler perry. Writer, producer, director, actor, whose beloved characters and Business Savvy have taken him from a childhood poverty to media empire. Work is a drug. I love it. I love every minute of it. I love every time im doing it. A sunday sitdown with tyler perry later in the show. Lets begin with the mad dash home before the start of the work week. Today is one of the busiest travel days of the year. Nearly 50 Million People will be traveling by plane, train or automobile. Nbcs Kerry Sanders is at the nations Busiest Airport for us in atlanta. Kerry, good morning. Reporter good morning, willie. Yes, it has begun. That chore that is associated with all thanksgiving holidays, travel. Lets take a look at the flight aware map right now. These are the flights that are airborne over the United States. Right now 49 flights delayed, one canceled and of course those numbers will fluctuate throughout the day. Now if you think back just a few days ago, willie, when you were heading wherever you were going for thanksgiving, on a plane you might have complained that the seat felt a little uncomfortable, a little small. Well, now add to the calculation too many plates of turkey, mashed potatoes and pie and add it all back up when you got on the plane youre likely to think you and everyone around you has a smaller seat now. This morning its already busy, but with mostly good weather so far most flights are on time. If only you had left 12 hours earlier. This was fourth myers. La gaud yeah the same. With airfares their lowest in years and 4 Million People flying this week, the airlines are encouraging passengers to check in online, check luggage even though it may cost extra and get to the airport two hours early. On wednesday that was critical. I got here with enough time. Reporter on the roads the earlier you leave, the lighter the traffic. Some 45. 5 Million People will be on the roads and by noon in most parts of the country it will feel like rush hour. You might want to check if your flight is on time because i just got an email that i have a flight later today and it is now delayed by five hours, willie. Oh, my gosh. Reporter definitely check. That flight aware map is staggering. Hard to believe all those planes can be in the sky at the same time. Kerry, good luck. President trump will be among those heading home traveling back to washington where he has a busy week ahead of him. Overnight the president got into another twitter fight with cnn. That comes on the eve of an anticipated vote on tax reform and a battle over who will control the Consumer Financial protection agency. Kelly odonnell is near the president s maralago estate in west palm beach, florida. Kelly, good morning. Reporter good morning, willie. President trump winds down his time in palm beach later this afternoon. This has been his first visit back to maralago in seven months. Perhaps hes rested, recharged, ready for multiple fights heading back to washington where he has a very busy end of year todo list. President trump is making use of twitters new expanded message size to magnify his fight with a frequent media critic, cnn. The president expounded last night. Fox news is much more important in the United States than cnn, but outside of the u. S. Cnn international is still a major source of fake news and they represent our nation to the world very poorly. The outside world does not see the truth from them. Cnn engaged. Its Public Relations team fired back. Its not cnns job to represent the u. S. To the world. Thats yours. Our job is to report the news. More than words, this comes days after the president S Justice Department filed suit to block the merger of cnns Parent Company time warner and at t. Today President Trump goes back to washington after a power play over whos in charge at the Consumer Financial protection bureau, an independent agency created during the obama years by elizabeth warren. This is a big test for donald trump. He said on the campaign trail that he would stand up to wall street. Reporter overnight the department of justice declared in an eightpage memo, we conclude that the president may designate an acting director. A sudden vacancy came when obama appointee richard cordre resigned and named his temporary predecessor as prescribed by law but the white house said the president gets to decide and named a fierce critic of the bureau, mick mulvaney. Who knows better than how to protect the people of ohio. Reporter President Trump trashed the cfpb. A total disaster claiming Financial Institutions have been devastated. Republicans object to its regulation while democrats argue its been good for consumers. The tug of war as the president continues to deliver on a promise. Now were working on tax cuts, big, fat beautiful tax cuts. Reporter and on tuesday President Trump heads to capitol hill where he will meet with Senate Republicans just days in advance of their vote on those tax cuts and theres work to do. There are not enough votes yet to pass it and he needs to make some new in roads to sell this package to the American People as well. Will he deliver on his promise . Willie . Kelly odonnell traveling with the president as always. Kelly, thank you very much. Chuck todd is nbcs political director and moderator of meet the press. Good morning. Good to see you. Im going back and starting with the twitter war if i can. Today cnn, the other day it was time magazine. He went back to the nfl. Earlier in the week it was with lavar ball, the father of three basketball players who the president deemed not grateful enough for his work getting one of his sons out of china after he was arrested for shoplifting. We know the rhythm of these. They serve as a distraction. No substantive purpose. Reporter its a distraction from everything. Hes distracting from the focus possibly from back on the issue of this Sexual Harassment allegations that are basically impacting the politics of both Political Parties right now so it, of course, brings back those allegations against him. They dont have a major accomplishment to tout. You throw all of these in there. Every issue you just mentioned is just red meat for the base. Hes throwing them something to do and to chew over over the Holiday Weekend so they dont chew over other things. Thats what the president does. But, look, this is going to be a crazy last three or four weeks of this year. Obviously to say that in this first year of this presidency is an understatement, but when you look at everything thats come in, theyre trying to rush this tax bill. The roy moore distraction. I think the anvil of Sexual Harassment that is hanging over the head of many members of congress over the next three weeks where more allegations are likely to come out. I think were headed for more chaos politically, willie. Lets zero in on one of those. The tax bill. We stalk we talked about it last week. Whether the senate can pass a bill like the house did. The president s going up to rally the troops and try to whip up some support. There will be some dissenters. Ron johnson, Susan Collins said shes going to wait to see whats in the bill. Two republicans. Do you think at the end of the day he gets what he wants . If the president doesnt get through tax reform and hes standing there on new years eve without any major legislative achievement to show for his first year in office, what does that mean to him . Its that last issue frankly that a whole bunch of republicans on capitol hill are worried about dealing with. Ending this year going into next year with no major accomplishment for unified control of government. I think that urgency, willie, is why this bill is going to pass. I have to tell you, they still have a political problem even if they pass this bill. The perception of this bill is already in the negative, not the positive for them. People do not believe the benefits that the president is saying are going to come to them. They only believe the benefits that are going to the corporations. That in itself is politically a problem, never mind all of the other issues that make Congress Look inept at this point in time as well. This tax bill is not polling well. Chuck, well be watching on meet the press. If you beat clemson next week, youre still in. Youre still in the playoff. Well be watching meet the press when chuck is joined by House Minority leader nancy pelosi, anita hill about Sexual Misconduct in the workplace and republican senator rob portman.

Auburn upset its top ranked rival alabama in the annual iron bowl knocking off the undefeated crimson tide, 2614. Alabama will now have to wait anxiously to see if it will make the four Team College Football Playoff for a fourth consecutive year.

First high goes to a homeless man named johnny and to the woman rallying the world to repay his generosity. 27yearold kate mcclure ran out of gas on interstate 95 outside of philadelphia. Johnny said it wasnt safe to leave her car so he offered to do it. Since kate didnt have a nickel with her, johnny also offered to pay have the very last of the money he had. Kate stopped again later to see johnny several times in the days that followed giving him a jacket, hat, gloves, socks, food, a few bucks but she wanted to do more so kate set up a go fund me page and told the story trying to raise 10,000 for johnny to get an apartment and some Living Expenses as the cold winter rolls in. Well, as of this morning, the page has raised, are you ready for this, dylan, 364,000. Goodness. With donations big and small coming from around the world. Now johnny told kate he doesnt want to take advantage of all of that generosity and will take the amount he needs to find a place and then donate the rest to charity. Wow. Now im hearing that story. If im an employer and i hear that guy i want him to work for my company. Now lets get him a job. The whole story is incredible that people watching this are saying, i also want to help this guy. Everybodys generosity. A lot of good people doing the right thing. First logos to the atlanta city bus that pulls into the stop just in time to block the view of one camera blocking the live spectacular demolition of the georgia dome football stadium. [ bleep ]. Bus. The 25yearold stadium thats hosted super bowls, final fours, the 1996 olympics collapsed into itself with the help of controlled explosives but you sure wouldnt have known it watching that angle on the weather channel. The stadium was there as the marta bus pulled up but after it pulled away 12 seconds later, just a giant dust cloud. The cameramans audible frustration, where you heard the beeps, made it all the more amusing for the internet. The memes came early and often. Here is the marta bus sliding in to block the moon landing and heres the marta bus rolling into the picture just as barry bonds breaks the alltime home run record in 2001. Nicely done, internet. You never disappoint. Ironic if that bus was never on time. Our next high goes to the newfoundland spirit on display during an airport delay in toronto. The gate area is a tense, unpleasant place typically. The good folks heading home to newfoundland were tense nor unpleasant, and they had instruments. Thats during a delay. Business traveller pulled out her camera, recorded the scene as musicians Shawn Sullivan and Sheldon Thornhill whipped out an accordion. They sang and danced through the delay. When the Group Finally got the boarding call the instruments were packed away. The passengers learned it would be 30 more minutes. They pulled out the instruments again and started dancing. That is the spirit of a great people in newfoundland. I mean, they ive been up there. Happy, good people. Very friendly. If youve never seen the broadway show come from away you know the spirit of these people. Look it up. Final low comes from the level of pressure at black friday sales outside the United States. Here in america shoppers bolt their shanks giving tables to get the right to stampede through department and Electronics Stores for black friday deals. This year the annual pushing, shoving all out m
