Credit: David Imel / Android Authority We don’t need to tell you 2020 was an unprecedented year. The coronavirus pandemic touched almost every aspect of life, down to the industry we all love to follow. With everything that has happened over the last 12 months, we asked you to tell us what you thought were the biggest missteps the industry made. Here are the results. What were the biggest smartphone fails of 2020? Results A total of 1,267 votes were cast as of the writing of this article, and two clear losers emerged. First, there was the Note 20, which captured 28.2% of the vote. The fact the Note 20 won the vote I think speaks to just how many people love the Note series. Any misstep by Samsung, no matter how minor, feels like a big deal. The fact the less expensive Galaxy S20 FE was a better phone in most respects likely made the sting worse for most people.

pakistan and the patriot act and on this biggest travel day, two storm systems make wreak havoc. i m luke russert. newt gingrich goes off script backing a kinder, gentler immigration policy and gets slammed by his rivals in return. the party that says it s the party of the family is going to adopt an immigration policy which destroys families that have been here a quarter of a century and i m prepared to take the heat for saying let s be humane in enforcing the law without giving them citizenship, but by finding a way to create legality. mark hurry is nbc s deputy political director. thanks for being on. interesting debate last night. gingrich seemed to take this stance of we won t have amnesty, does newt s ability to be a good debater kind of help him in this helm that he can maybe explain his position or is this very toxic? we re going to see and probably have an answer the next week or so on this. this was something that really tripped up rick perry. looked like his nomination to lose and he crashed along the some other poor debate performances. so we ll see on whether this newt gingrich has the same fate. it s also worth noting that john mccain was seriously wounded. talking about a humane path to citizenship, so this issue is really deadly for republicans in a primary and we ll see if newt gingrich is is able to avoid the fate that certainly seemed to trip up rick perry. now, newt is the front-runner in some of the new polls. neck and neck with willard mitt romney, if you will. mitt romney had a very interesting response to gingrich last night and it truly defined both of the front-runners. amnesty is a magnet. what we have had in the past, programs that have said people who have come here illegally are going to get to stay, that s only going to encourage more people to come here illegally. so romney s really going to the right of gingrich here. and it s a position where romney s pretty much been since 2007 and this is the position that you see most republican candidates, whether it s an r running for president, senate, governor, this is the terrain that you actually get republican votes for cht it is worth noting though that mitt romney in a 2006 interview, before he was running for president in 2007, actually appeared to support a pathway for citizenship for illegal immigrants, but that is gone and you hear more talk about no amnesty. it will be interesting to see if they accuse him. rick perry tried and didn t succeed. very interesting thing that happened last night, ron paul and newt gingrich got into it about the patriot act and we know paul s position, big government coming in on the citizenry. let s take a listen to that exchange. i think the patriot act is unpatriotic. i m concerned as everyone is about the terrorist attack. timothy mcveigh was a vicious terrorist. timothy mcveigh succeeded. that s the whole point. timothy mcveigh killed a lot of americans. i don t want a law that says after we lose a major american city, we re sure going to come and find you. i want to law that says you try to take out an american city, we re going to stop you. so, newt showing there that he is fairly hawkish. oh, yeah, and most of the republicans on the stage disagreed with ron paul there. but that exchange really does kind of show the conflict in the republican party, particularly has the tea party and libertarian streak in the tea party is gained whole. what ron paul is talking about, look, the government shouldn t be doing these things, but the conservative we saw in the bush years, we need strong security to prevent attacks. i thought it was interesting that after the answer on illegal immigration, that newt kind of went to the right there and became very hawkish on that point. now, two people that had a good little debate about pakistan, were michele bachmann and rick perry. michele bachmann really making use of her seat that speaker boehner gave to her. they ve showed us time after time that they can t be trusted. and until pakistan clearly shows that they have america s best interest in mind, i would not send them one penny. with all due respect to the governor, i think that s highly nieve because we have to recognize what s happening on the ground. we have to maintain an american presence. bachmann, who s often been krit sighed for saying things off the wall really did show her chops on the issue of pakistan and the intelligence gathering on the ground and the fear of a nuclear weapon being grabbed by islamic radicals. that was one of her best moments in all of the debates. most of the lines we ve seen from her have been red meat lines. even one about the aclu is running obama s cia. she s showing things she is certainly learning and it was a thing that got her a lot of credit. we ll see if it starts to help her gain some credibility more in this republican primary and we ll see if her polls go up. we have issues with named last night. wi willard mitt romney said his name has been mitt and herman cain referred to wolf blitzer as blitz. this is kind of a funny moment here. i m mitt romney and yes, wolf, that s also my first name. no, blitz, that s oversimplifying. i m sorry, blitz. i meant wolf, okay? blitz wolf. since we on a blitz debate, i apologize, wolf. now, cain s was sort of a funny moment, but mitt romney, there was some saying this guy can t even get his own first name right. how can he have a real concrete position as president? some might say that romney was half true on that statement. his technical first name is willard and then mitt romney. of course in our story, we refer to him as mitt romney. there was a lot of truth there, but his technical real first name is willard. i have a small inclination that will come back sometime in november in an ad. the death toll is rising in e egypt after five days of clashes from protesters. a human rights group says 38 people have been killed nationwide and protesters show no sign of being satisfied with the military s latest concessions. richard engel joins us on the phone from right here tahrir square. tell me about the street battle this morning. where are the protesters gathering? i read the military is still very popular in the country, just not there in tahrir square. first of all, let me tell you where i am. i m just a few blocks away from tahrir square. i am in the area where the clashes have been taking place in front of the interior ministry and there is a standoff underway right now. several thousand protesters have come here. the army is now moved in. they re wearing riot gear, black jackets. there are armored personnel carriers here. the army has set up a bare kid and showing restraint and trying to hold a line. trying to keep the protesters from advancing on the interior ministry. it is something of a no man s land that has been created. you have the protesters, several thousand of them, angry, shouting. then a line of soldiers, four armored personnel carriers and then maybe 30 feet behind them are the riot police, wearing shields. they are in front of protesters on the other, the army in the middle trying to convince people to disperse. and richard, those american students arrested, one who went to georgetown here in washington, d.c., what s the latest with them? we spoke to the embassy today and officials say those three mesh mesh americans are going to be questioned again by authorities. the american staff will also present during questioning yesterday. they have been in contact with the three students again today, so they are very much in contact and in touch with this situation. and those americans students taking part in these clashes, throwing molotov cocktails and the u.s. embassy is finding itself where i am now, trying to deescalate the situation. thanks so much for your report. have a safe thanksgiving aboard. we appreciate it. back here at home, millions of americans are heading to the roads, heading to grandma s house for turkey and football. we ve got all the congestion covered with mike taibbi in new york. what s the latest from laguardia airport? i hate to tell you, but there s no crazyness here although when i left this morning to do a report for the today show, i thought this was going to be ugly. rain was coming down in sheets. there was flooding. cars crawling through. got here and it was smooth sailing, if i can mix the metaphors a little bit. the word canceled does not appear anywhere. that s a good thing. the bad thing is if you don t have a flight, it s going to be easy to get one because the carriers have reduced the numbers of flight. people still flying out this afternoon and the general manager here points out that because the weather remains ify up and down the coast, there could be cancellations and delays as the day goes on. tsa has made things a little easier in some ways. children under 12 don t have to take off their shoes. on the other hand, if you re going to bring a cake or a snow globe, it s a little dicesy. the snow globe can t go through and they make unwrap the cake. ron, i m going to boston this afternoon. how am i going to do? if you re driving, it s going to be ify, up and down the coast. the east coast in particular. i-95 is going to be wet for most of the day and if you re traveling into northern new england, vermont, new hampshire, maine, they are getting snow. they re expecting up to a foot of snow across northern new england. there is another storm system in the pacific northwest affecting travel there basely on the i-5 from portland to seattle. those folks need to pack patience. one thing we should tell you, this year, triple-a estimatinin 42.5 million people. that s the biggest increase we ve seen in a while and experts say this may be a good sign for the economy to come. gas prices, while still higher than people would like to see, are down from a year ago. about 16 cents on average, so a few more dollars in the pockets of most americans who are traveling. 38.2 million of them will be traveling by road, so ten and two as they say. keep your hands on the wheel. these roads are going to be slick for folks on the east coast. up 4% from last year. that is good news. thanks to you both. we ll take another look at this busy day on the roads coming up later. we ll also have more debate highlights coming up. plus, what was going on behind the scenes of the super committee s super collapse? why the deal was pretty much doom frd the start and how did occupy wall street go to a global movement? how a group of protesters cap turred the world s attention. but first, a look at the president s schedule. the president will pardon two turkeys, appropriately named liberty and peace. that s at 10:30 a.m. do not go anywhere. let s go come with me, let s go come with me, let s go cruise like a norwegian and just let me be [ male announcer ] this is your moment. your ticket home [ male announcer ] this is zales, the diamond store. it s a great hd tv. shh. don t speak. i ll just leave you two alone. [ male announcer ] black friday s here. deals start thursday 10 pm. more electronics start at midnight. and we re open all day and night so you don t have to wait outside. walmart. members of the super committee say it was a missed opportunity, but new detail show success was probably a long shot from the start. the obstacles seemed to get larger as the deadline approached. andrew and jake are covering congress for politico and wrote a piece about the super committee. it never had a chance. never had a chance, right, guys? didn t look good from the start. jake, you had some amazing details in this piece about where both sides started the negotiations from. let s put that on the screen. republicans said in the first meeting about where they wanted to start with their wish list was repeal obamacare, cut more than 2% in spending. and 1 trillion in revenue. those are extreme starting positions. they spent a lot of time getting grounded on budget matters, learning what they would be delving into, kind of getting grounded with the budget. so somebody said let s put on the table where we re going to negotiate from. somebody said, okay, paul ryan s budget. let s put it on the table. but no democrats voted for it. no democrats probably support much of the budget. democrats wants obama s jobs plan. there was a huge gap. it just showed early on these two parties were so far from each other and that gap kind of remained. it narrowed a little bit, but remained for much of the three months they negotiated. you had some really interesting facts this this piece. there was a lot of consternation among folks on capitol hill. 535 members was then truncated down to 12 members cht you said at the end, it came down to two folks not elected. barry jackson and harry reid s chief of staff were negotiating for the super committee behind closed doors. they were trying to find any way forward. the super committee was at one point negotiating about a $3 trillion package. some deal that could put this country ton a fiscally sustainable path. what was negotiated was a plan that would cut about $643 billion over ten years between jackson and khrone in a closed door meeting. they tried to get a deal to stave off these cuts, but what came of it was nothing. jackson and krone could not get a deal. that was on friday. and eventually, this whole thing sort of blew up in the end. so everything we hear about the criticism of officials in back door rooms was really going on. that was the biggest concern from every member of congress. they were concerned these negotiations were happening in secret. no one really knew what was going on. there were lots of proposals that were being traded. many of which we never saw and many of the ones that were leaked to the press were to gain political positioning from each party to show that we re the ones being reasonable here. senator kerry had some interesting things so say. norquist, a lobbyist, got a bunch of people to sign a pledge that became more important than the pledge we take to faithfully execute our duties as senators and uphold the constitution and defend it against everybody. i believe that was the 13th member of this meeting, of this committee. jake, you talked to house gop guys. i see you in the speaker s lobby. how much of an effect does norquist have? it s a convenient talking point to see republicans won t raise taxes because of norquist. it s easy, a little lazy. republicans are not for tax increases. whether they would give on some revenue, which they did, i think is an open question. but norquist is not the driving point to get to a revenue number that democrats would like. most of the attention he gets is media outlets, news outlets, newspapers coming to him and talking to him about what he does. he s not out there beating that drum that much, so it s true he holds people to that plenl, but republicans also don t want to raise taxes. dana millbanks quoted an aide saying that jon kyl was walking nepalm. was he a real impediment? democrats are clearly going after him. remember, he was part of these biden negotiations, trying to figure out a way out of the debt ceiling. those blew up and these negotiations as well. there was one moment in which max baucus was laying out a $3 trillion plan in a closed door meeting for the first time the democrats really laid out what they thought was a compromise. kyl raised a series of objections largely because he was concerned about the $1.3 trillion in taxes the democrats were proposing. kyl has said and republicans said we were the ones that gave on this. it wasn t our fault there wasn t a negotiation. it was the democrats fault. they came out and did embrace about $250 in taxes. manu, jake, two real terminators on capitol hill that just get down everybody in their way held a job on this story. you guys did great. and a programming note. much more of the super committee and the fight over taxes coming up. grover norquist will be on with alex wagner. and can we look forward to a santa claus rally on wall street? our market rundown is next. and how bad will the travel trouble be for millions trying to get home for the holiday? plus, thanksgiving in iowa means the countdown to the caucuses is on. the race is heating up, but first, today s trivia question. in what year did america have two thanksgiving holidays? the first correct answer will get a fellow wednesday from us. the answer coming up. do not go anywhere. we re america s natural gas and here s what we did today: supported nearly 3 million steady jobs across our country. . scientists, technicians, engineers, machinists. . adding nearly 400 billion dollars to our economy. we re at work providing power to almost a quarter of our homes and businesses. . and giving us cleaner rides to work and school. and tomorrow, we could do even more. cleaner, domestic, abundant and creating jobs now. we re america s natural gas. the smarter power, today. learn more at anga.us. smal l bu learn more at anga.us. sinesses are the smal lifeblood of our communities. on november 26th you can make a huge impact by shopping small on small business saturday. one purchase. one purchase is all it takes. so, pick your favorite local business. and join the movement. i pledge to shop small at big top candy shop. allen s boots. at juno baby store. make the pledge to shop small. please. shop small on small business saturday. pickle pickle blue mocking bird pronto! mom s calling an audible. head to bedding. [ male announcer ] black friday s here. deals start thursday 10 pm. more electronics start at midnight. and we re open all day and night so you don t have to wait outside. walmart. countdown iowa. the nation s first contest is just weeks away and the republican pack is looking to make a dent in a very crowded, jumbled field. alex mow has been following all things from iowa for us. alex, how are things shaping up there in iowa, my friend? well, luke, it s pretty crowded out here. all six candidates out in iowa this past weekend at a thanksgiving forum and it seems they re really heated up headed into the holiday. the candidates are out in full force. the tv ads and mailers have started and that can only mean one thing in iowa. thanksgiving s sort of an artificial marker. there will be a brief pause over thanksgiving while families get together, but then i think from thanksgiving on, it s the home stretch. going into the home stretch, the race in the hawkeye state is far from decided. it s a wide open race. i ve never seen it this fluid this late in the process. i think the fact so many are still undecided tells you the stakes are going to be raised going into january 3rd. a big difference from the last presidential cycle. the 2012 race for the republican nomination here in iowa is a lot more volatile than it was even in 2008. one undecided voter blames this indecisiveness for a gop candidate on unhappiness with president obama. this year, i think the stakes are so high and the desire and the urgency to beat obama is making people take a long, hard look. a recent poll shows cain, paul, romney and gingrich in a dead heat. the candidates who frequent the state most are pulling much lower. gingrich has the opening right now. he really does and it will be, it s just a matter of whether or not gingrich can develop enough self-discipline to govern himself and then develop an organization in a very, very short period of time to try to capitalize on the support that appears to be drifting toward him. but no matter who is trending right now, there s still plenty of time to go. the campaigns get hot at the end. you want to finish with momentum going into january 3rd and i think that opportunity exists for candidates out there. with 41 days until the caucuses, voters have one thing to be happy about this thanksgiving. i m thankful it s almost over. the cycle here in iowa goes on forever. before we can head home, mitt romney is making his third stop in about a month in iowa will he will be endorsed by john thune. thanks for that and stay safe on the campaign trial. becky quick is here. we have holiday travel up 4%. maybe the economy s improving. what are you expecting today? a lot of people are trying to figure out the economy because that has been a key. what s happening in the united states economy versus what s happening in europe. those two conflicting forces have been driving markets for the last several weeks. no exception to that rule today. we got some bad news out of europe today. that s what s driving the market now. as you mentioned, the opening bell just ringing. looks like we re going to open down by about 90 pints or so. the dow has been seeing a lot of pressure this morning. german boons came up with a market less desirable. some call this the worst bond auction they ve seen in years. that s a concern because all the problems in europe have been coming from those southern european countries. if germany, which is the most powerful, is having problems raising money from people, then that s the huge concern. that s what started sending the ripples through here. but it s the u.s. economy that a lot of people are paying attention to and that s something we got good news out of. we got the jobless claims for the week. they were up by 2,000 but only to 393,000, and that s good news. it s below that key 400,000 level. so, we came off our worst level of the morning, but it looks like the market is opening under quite a bit of pressure. the daily rundown will be back in approximately 30 seconds. still a lot more to talk about. other stories making headlines, yemeni president is expected to if he goes through with it, he would lay out a plan pr new elections following nine months of anti government protests. a fund-raiser for rod blagojevich has been sentenced to ten and a half years in prison for pressuring businesses for millions in kick backs. the unusually stiff penalty for corruption for blagojevich when he is sentenced next month. the u.s. justice department is challenging the enforcement law. utah s law is modelled after arizona s, requiring the police check the immigration status of anyone they arrest. and all four judges based in penn state s home county have rekuzed themselves from jerry sandusky s case to avoid the appearance of a conflict of interest. the preliminary hearing is scheduled tr december 13th. roads around the country are already filling up with travelers. we re joined now by bill karins. bill? good morning to you, luke and everyone else. for this storm, the airports are doing amazingly well. only a 30-minute delay in philadelphia, but we can deal with that. i thought it would be worse than this and the rain is moving out quickly, too. the greenest of rain, the heaviest of it is exiting boston and cape cod. reports of many areas getting six inches of snow. we re still going to have showers in the forecast during the day and the snow will come to an end this afternoon. new york city, not bad. but the heavy rain is done. same for philadelphia. even down in d.c., maybe just a sprinkle or two. but that s it. the rain is exiting. middle of the country is great. the northwest is where another huge storm is coming on. not a pleasant drive on i-5 to portland. turkey day forecast, looking really nice. 90% of the country is going to see dry weather. the western coast northwards is where we re dealing with wet weather and rain. i know last night people couldn t get to their destinations, but today, people are going to play catch up. have a great thanksgiving. the price tag for democracy isn t cheech at a time when countries are strapped for cash, a new report shows that the occupy movement has cost taxpayers $13 million. now two months and counting, more than 134 have been arrested, protesters have clashed with police, but the movement still has a lot of steam. greg mitchell has been following the movement from the start and writing about it. he just released a new book. a little known fact that a lot of folks don t realize is that this movement actually started in canada. can you talk about that? yeah, it was launched by the anti corporate magazine named ad busters and they launched it via twitter hash tag back in july for proposing september 17th as the day of protests near wall street and a few other groups joined in and september 17th came and of course, the marchers were not allowed on wall street. they settled in a nearby park and basically the movement went on from there with that park as its home base. and interesting thing i found in your book is that the movement is sitting on a lot of cash cht it s been sort of touted as a loose, noncorporate movement. it seems they ve got a lot of donations. they have live stream camera operators. they publish their own newspapers. who s running the show and in charge of that money? the new york group. i think a lot of money, if you want to consider $400,000 a lot of money these days, they have parcelled that out to some groups around the country. it s very loosely organized. literal literally hundreds of sites around the country, maybe they re affiliated loosely, but there s no national organization. that s what makes this so interesting. it s quite different than anything that s come before. there s no national leaders, spokesman, no national office coordinating everything. it s very locally based. it makes it a challenge for the media, but the local people have joined in partly because it is so democratic and grass roots. one of the successes of the tea party is that it was eventually coopted by traditionalist republicans like dick armey and freedom works. is there any initiative to organize these people into a mass? im sure there are behind the scenes nicinitiatives, but the movement around the country has voiced their determination not to endorse candidates, not to get involved in the campaigns. they have not engaged in lobbying in congress. again, that makes it quite different. now, that may change. i m sure that many members will take part in campaigns eventually, but i don t see the movement per se actually joining in the process in that kind of a partisan way. they ve been super critical of democrats as well as republicans. that s one difference that the party, very much back republicans where this movement really has hit both parties. another interest fact is you mentioned there s sort of a constitution if you will, that the group is sort of written down a few ideals they want to strive for. can you talk about that? there s been demands from the media from the start that they issue a list of demands an of course, they haven t really done that. they point people to this list of basic core principles and people who care to look into what they have put out, what they say in their speeches and on their websites and so forth, it s pretty clear and it s been the same from the beginning. income inequality. the problems of obviously joblessness. health care for people. student loan crisis, corporate crime, no one being punished on wall street for you know, for the meltdown. so, there certainly are core principles. demands may emerge, there s a will the of talk about demands. there s a lot of talk about embracing certain things more clearly. but that really hasn t happened yet. thanks so much for joining us. i think you get the award for the first person to write a book about occupy wall street. up next, we ll break down the binners and loosers in last night s debate, plus another sign the establishment is lining up behind romney and what the super failure of the super committee means for the 2012 race. but first, the white house soup of the day. broccoli cheddar. as phil griffin like to say, get off the dairy, it keeps you thinner. i d race down that hill without a helmet. i took some steep risks in my teens. i d never ride without one now. and since my doctor prescribed lipitor, i won t go without it for my high cholesterol and my risk of heart attack. why kid myself?

we have to bring in our preturkey travel panel. a great mix of folks. guys, thanks so much for come. thanks for having us. i want to throw to an interesting bite. jon huntsman seen for the first time out of all these 11 debates to full-timely make a move and really garner a position for himself and this is on the issue of afghanistan. let s take a listen. now, the fact we have 100,000 troops nation building in afghanistan when this nation needs to be built when on the ground, we need intelligence gathering, no doubt about that. we need a strong special forces presence, a drone presence and some ongoing training of the afghan army, but we haven t done a good job of defining the end point in afghanistan. carol, can this gain some traction amongst the gop which has usually been hawkish, but on the economics of afghanistan don t like the debt? certainly the idea of nation building. that s very appealing to americans j general. i think it s interesting to see somebody finally go after romney in this way and certainly, the white house is appreciating the obama campaign, are appreciating that, that they don t have to do it on their own and finally some of the other republican candidates are taking him on and i think this is something that would resognate with the part of the gop electorate, but the general election issue, what he had to say would be something that voter rs interested in hearing. jamal, how would that play against a democrat like president obama, the position that he didn t do afghanistan correctly? the first question obama people would ask, funny you didn t say that on any of our conference calls. this is the fundamental problem with the campaign, he s running almost against his own record. he was a part of the president s foreign policy team, in china, he wasn t necessarily making decisions about pakistan and afghanistan, he still was a part of the team and if he had questions, he could have asked them while on the team. i think a lot of people have real suspicions about him, about really? you worked for this guy, now you re against him? one, that seemed a little bit odd as a personal matter, like how do you run against your boss, but then two, we hate obama. so we don t want to vote for anybody that has a stamp on. you spent some time in new hampshire. the most important part about that change was the fact that huntsman for the first time had romney a little bit on defense and the only path huntsman has to anything is by being able to stand up to romney. so far, we ve been through ten debates and huntsman has never gotten romney s attention and last night, we saw him a little annoyed by huntsman. in 2008, he was the one being accused of not being hawkish enough. he s trying to learn that lesson of losing to mccain on national security. now, he s trying to be the more hawkish one. when it comes down to romney s policy on afghanistan, is the obama policy. absolutely. consulting the generals on the ground, an easy thing to go to. huntsman perhaps gets some traction. an interesting moment also was herman cain and rick santorum talking about profiling and how they would approach airport security. let s take a look at that exchange. we should be trying to find the bomber, not the bomb. obviously, muslims would be someone you look at. radical muslims are the people committing these crimes. the terrorists have one objective that some people don t seem to get. they want to kill all of us so we should use every means to kill them first or identify them. jamal, an interesting thing from santorum and cain, sort of arguing over the profiling, if you could do it more in a sense. do you think that that position can help in a general election? it s a very straightforward, bold position. well, you know, i think there s a certain, most americans you know, wonder about grandmother being frisked at the airport. whether or not that s a good case to make. but this is still america. we re a country of laws. to start us down that path is something that s very risky and when people are hiring the president, i think they re hiring somebody who s got good judgment, they re going to apply things evenly and not going to be subject to the kind of mass passions that get us into trouble. that s what ultimately will hurt them on this point. they win some little percentages from people who agree, but the mass population. carol, quickly, could this put emphasis on romney having to take a position like this? it appeared quite popular to the folks in the room there? sure, but what i thought was interesting was how the candidates didn t really seem to agree on anything. just the number of divisions between them and in sense, it was sort of interesting to watch because when you watch them talk about economic issues, they re a little bit more in sync and they were so out of sync and the white house thinks this is a place where obama s strong. foreign policy is not the main issue in 2012. we asked in what year did america have two thanksgiving holidays. the answer, 1939. in the midst of the great depression, franklin ri inste of the last thursday of the month as a way to promote holiday shopping. americans were outraged and some governors ignored the proclamation, so depending on where you lived, you celebrated on november 23rd or 30th or both. we ll be right back with more from our panel. you re watching the daily rundown only on msnbc. just one phillips colon health probiotic cap a day helps defends against occasional constipation, diarrhea, gas and bloating. with three strains of good bacteria to help balance your colon. you had me at probiotic.
