Well have much more on that. It was a big deal and had to respond on twitte well is under way. A live look at chicagos Ohare Airport. Look at all those people. One of the busiest in the country today and just the scene moments ago in dallas after that evacuation. Everyone piling back into the airport and, amy, the worst thing you can hear at the airport you have to be rescreened. Oh, gosh. Millions more, of course, not just hitting the airways but roadways driving for the holiday. This is a live look at our traffic cam in new york city. Aaa says more than 97 Million People are hitting the road over the next week. Youll be doing that, driving and flying. Driving today and flying this weekend. 2. 7 million expected to fly and david kerley is at Dulles Airport outside washington, d. C. Starting us off on the tarmac. It looks like theyre putting you to work this morning. Reporter actually, some of the cargo is coming off this plane just came in from sao paulo. The terminal. Completely evacuated and folks going back n hour and a half delay in love field. Southwest, big airport and could ripple through the rest of the season on these very busy days. A look at flight aware that shows you what the situation is in the air right now. Doesnt look that busy because its just getting going. Look at yesterday to give you an example. Yesterday and today the two busy days of folks getting where they want to for the holidays. Now, so far cancellations not a problem. The weather still a threat but it hasnt been an issue. Now, here for united at Dulles Airport, today is their busiest day here, not only loading cargo but aircraft coming in and between today and new years, they will have nearly 5 Million People they will transport through these jetways onto the aircraft getting home for the holiday. So far, tom, things are working all right. That sounds great and we will watch that weather. You said yesterday and today are some what about after christmas, all those travelers returning home . Reporter well, heres the problem. As we spread this out over the last couple of days, yesterday and today folks getting to where they want to be for christmas but then as i get out of the way because theyre bringing in another cargo deal here, tuesday a lot of folks will want to get home and taking these two days, compacting it tuesday, it will be a busy day trying to get home tuesday. Pack some patience traveling that day. David kerley on the front lines of the great escape. Thank you. Weather has such an impact on travel and, ginger, i know, youve been watching the big storm moving across the country. Where is it and whats it going to do to everybody hitting the roadways and airwaves . Youre already seeing light freezing rain in bedford, pennsylvania, and snow in the northeast. Denver, colorado, the roads, thats what it looks like less than an inch. Spinoffs. That is sometimes worse. Storms possible dallas to memphis this morning. A couple of airports to watch. Boston tonight, if you have a flight there i would watch out for that. We stopped it at 7 00 p. M. Along the warm front, i90, 95 could be messy and rain saturday night but if you have a flight yet washington, d. C. To new york and boston, you could see rain and then snow. Hey, you want a White Christmas . Theres a shot of it for some folks. Ill tell you about it coming up. Very exciting. We move on to washington right now. Overnight congress avoiding a Government Shutdown for the moment but as the president heads to maralago this morning, the u. S. Is facing backlash over his decision to recognize jerusalem as the capital of israel. The u. N. Voting to condemn that move despite ambassador nikki haleys threat. Our Congressional Correspondent mary bruce has all the latest from the white house. Good morning, mary. Reporter good morning, amy. Well, in a collective rebuke, the unit overwhelmingly to condemn the president s decision to recognize jerusalem as the capital of israel. It came even after the president s u. N. Ambassador, nikki haley, issued a direct threat suggesting that the u. S. Would think twice about funding the u. N. If it went through with this, adding that the u. S. Will be, quote, taking name, but the u. N. Did it anyway and afterwards the former cia director john brennan called out the president directly tweeting, donald trump expects Blind Loyalty from everyone, qualities usually found in narcissistic, vengeful autocrats. All right, well, we know the president is planning to celebrate the holidays and is heading south . Reporter the president will shortly head to palm beach where he will spend the holiday with his family at maralago. Could be one of the longest stretches he is away from washington, not on official business, but, of course, the president is always president , and he is expected to be attended to official business while down there and im guessing you could probably expect a couple tweets, as well. Probably on tap. Mary, thanks. Tom. Quite a year in washington, lets bring in matthew dowd for a yearend review of the Trump Presidency breaking down what he promised and if hes delivered. Good morning to you. Lets start with the president s tax cut plan, a clear victory for the president , also getting rid of the Obamacare Mandate which penalized people for not Getting Health Insurance but a battle he hasnt won to fully repeal and replace obamacare. I think it is a clear legislative victory on the tax cut said and youre right to say on the obamacare side its not a clear victory but there is a huge difference between a legislative and political victory so put a lot of yards on the field and has a lot of first downs but for political purposes he hasnt accomplished that much. His signature issue on the campaign trail was the promise to build a pay for it. Thats still a promise he hasnt fully delivered on. I think itll be one very difficult to deliver on. All the compromises he has to do with Congress Related to the immigration issues and this one is tied up in it. One, with those compromises and, two, the fact that the budget now, hes got a 1. 5, 1. 1 trillion deficit that will come from the tax cuts and building that wall will cost billions and having covered the campaign, i think it will difficult for him to do in an Election Year thats already problematic. Yeah, hes going to have to find that funding. One of the next big challenges for the president. The midterm elections and new reports about a heated meeting between his staff and Corey Lewandowski who got into it with bill should be worried. Not a real staff problem but fundamental problem. All president s in their first midterms with very few exceptions have huge problems with their party. This president has the lowest Approval Rating and you know from the data, lowest Approval Rating a president has ended the first year at going into christmas than any president has ever had. That and the fact that his party is disliked much more than the democrats sets up for a huge wave for the democrats and big problem for the republicans in both the house and senate in 2018. Also shown hes willing to get out and campaign hard for candidates he does like and endorse. Matthew dowd for us, thanks so much. Merry christmas. Now to that urgent search for a possible serial shooter suspected in at least ten driveby shootings in california in the last month. Police say its a top priority to find whoever is responsible and matt gutman is in california with the very latest on gunman issing itting people when traffic is at its heaviest. Reporter thats right, amy. Police say this mystery shooter has been stalking passing vehicles during the morning and evening commutes. Now, just imagine being in a car like this when it is slammed by gunfire. Right now police say that its just pure luck that nobody has been killed yet. Someone just shot my boss. Somebody shot your boss . Reporter this morning authorities are desperately searching for a driver they say is terrorizing rural california. Ran domly firing guns at passing vehicles. We are working very hard to find you. We will hold you responsible. Reporter ten cars have been hit in the past month alone around the fresno area. This map shows the density of the attacks, all occurring within this 12squaremile area. If this keeps going it will be a matter of time before we have a murder investigation. Reporter it was nearly earlier this month one man calling 911 after his boss was struck in the chest with shrapnel while she was driveing. My boss here got shot through her window in the car. Can you send an ambulance . Did she get hit . Yes, shes bleeding. It is random, again, we only have one person so far that has been injured. Reporter police say there are two threads connecting them. Mostly happening near morning or evening rush hour and many of the motorists say the shots have been coming from a darkcolored pickup with oversized tires. A Common Thread in all the reports is that the victims say they heard loud bangs as another vehicle passed them going the opposite direction than the roadway. Reporter now the concern from police is not only a motorist might be shot but it might cause that vehicle to lose control. Police say they have very little to go on right now. That darkcolored pickup truck is the vehicle theyre looking for. Much less the identity of the person or people inside of it. Amy. Wow, so little to go on. So frightening. Thank you very much. In california an update for the millions affected by wildfires out there. All significant evacuation orders have now been lifted and the worst appears to be over for the thomas fire which has become the second largest wildfire in state history burning more than 400 square miles and forcing 100,000 people to leave their homes. Its now 65 contained, and most people can return home for the holidays. Certainly a gift. We are in the final days before christmas and amazon and walmart going headtohead battling for your dallas for lastminute gifts and our economicing correspondent Rebecca Jarvis is here with the deadlines you need to know. The deadline is obviously monday. Were basically there, amy, yes, good morning. It is that special time of year war to get our attention and money and nowhere more evident than walmart and amazon. Two of the most popular destinations for Online Shoppers and stepped them right up until the last minute, walmart, you have until december 23rd, 4 00 p. M. To order online and pick it up in store on Christmas Eve. With amazon if youre a prime customer you can sign up for a trial membership and have till Christmas Eve at 9 30 a. M. Thats right, because, you know, i think christmas is on a monday so people think ive got the weekend to get the gift, right . But thats going to be a little tough. Shortcuts for going online. If you are hitting the stores this weekend, amy, you have to expect malls to be packed. 53 of consumers, about 126 Million People plan to shop this is the last saturday before christmas so its a good idea going to the mall order online, pick it up in store and lastminute shortcuts, some things that never go out of stock, ebooks, order them electronically. Specify the date theyre delivered by email. Memberships and subscriptions, spotify, netflix, all can be purchased online and gift cards, you can send those and theres a list of gift cards up to 20 off. Big discounts on those and finally a number of retailers are doing something new. Target has a gift now option so you choose a gift on their site, its delivered by email to the recipient. They can adjust and exchange it before it ships so basically an email Christmas Morning with the gift but the actual item comes later. You just open your email instead of the gift. Isnt that wonderful . So 2017. Rebecca, thank you. This morning were switching gears and celebrating of a broadcasting legend. Dick enberg who covered sports for 60 years died at 82 years old. T. J.
