a study in 2011, a suny study found 50 types of mold spores are on the tree, they contain snakes, rats, beetles. they get in your home. and for your family, with the dog running around, the dried needles that -- i love those -- the dog can choke on it and puncture their interesten. and you don't water it enough so it looks like this. >> laura: oh, no. well, the good -- the good news is. who needs a fireplace? well -- >> at least for one might. >> laura: i will say this, that it is a bit annoying that it's like unplug the tree, we have one -- i have one fake tree in my house this year. i have two real ones. and one fake one. i have given in. but i don't spend -- i don't spend any time in front of the fake tree. no time. only in front of the real tree. >> you're a tree snob. spray the pine scent and you don't know the difference. >> laura: again i win, real always wins out over fake. merry christmas. coming up, another story which is unbelievable. you won't believe this. two marines were accosted by these left wing antifa thugs. we're going to speak exclusively to one of the men who was

someone who spoke on your behalf, a professor at suny state. he said we're not about rap music up here where we're from. really? even if you're 84% white? go listen to the music your kids are listening to and your young adults. i bet you eight out of ten times it's going to be rap music. it seems like a race play, congressman. that's why i'm asking you. >> chris, i'm not responsible for things other people say. i'm only responsible for things that i say. and all i have said, and i've debated mr. delgado five or six times during this campaign. he's got a very radical left view on many issues. and so that's really where our distinction is. let me be clear, chris. i have said right from the get go, i don't want any vote from any person that would vote for me because they don't like mr. delgado's race. that is irrelevant to me. >> that's all that ad does, john. that's what the ad says, this guy is a homey. he's a rapper. forget about the rogue scholar, forget about harvard, he's not one of us. that's what the ad says. >> well, he just moved into th

outside looking in, based on experience number one the turks are competitors with saudis within the suny world, and we would literally stamp everything with this is designed to influence and inform. you need to be a bit skeptical about turkish information. but my sense is the body of data, what the turks have apparently presented, what it is we very likely know, and we would have launched the scar fleet here, scouts out in terms of the internal workings of the saudi government, my judgment is this does not happen without the knowledge and permission and direction of the crown prince. and so this is on him. and so what it is you owe the president is to not allow him to pretend that there is doubt or that it is not on the crown prince. he can decide what he wants, and it's a really ugly decision, but you cannot pretend that he doesn't have that really difficult decision. at some point you're going to say, mr. president, they did it, it was premeditated, we know he approved it, and if asked we are going to have to say so to other parts of the american government. >> and yet, steve hadly, sa

counter intelligence official tells cnn there's no evidence isis or any other suny terrorist groups are trying to get across the southern border. no evidence. no evidence of terrorist infiltration in the migrant caravan now making its way through mexico. zero, none. now we're saying it at the top of the broadcast and we'll keep coming back to it because simple facts matter and the quiet truth bears repeating. with just two weeks to go until mid term elections president trump was in texas tonight has chosen to fill the public arena with the exact opposite of a quiet truth or simple facts and he's doing it in a way that seems designed to scare people. the president of the united states is intentionally, it appears, trying to scare you. he's been out there loudly repeatedly unabashedly spreading falsehoods, and that is not the same as painting the political opposition in the worst light possible which all modern presidents, republicans and democrats have done. in the past some have exaggerated, some twisted words, some bent truths and some told lies. when asked about his nickname given hel

. >> st worth mentioning, of course, in response to your report late on suny mr. moonves released a statement. i want to read that in part. the untrue allegations of from decades ago are now being made against me that are not consistent with who i am. i am deeply sadenned to be aving the company. i wsh nothing but the best for the organization. i want to ask yoabout t cds response though, not to this story, ronan but the first one. back then they said there were no settle ams or claims ofat misconduct they gnaw about during mr. moonves' time with them, inhis report you talk about a criminal complaint that was filed by one woman last rdar. did the cbs bot know about that? >> we reported in this latestat article a portion of the cbs board knew about that dating back to late janua >> so they did, in fact, know about that onement but tell me t little bit athe investigation now. there are two law firms that ve been appointed to both conduct investigations, you've been talking to folks inside cbs. what do they make about how these investigations might turn out? >> you k

do you think he could tell you the origins of the suny shia schism. when he announced to move to the embassy i said there will be blood on his hands. not because he pulled the trigger but he destabilized the region without having any clue what he was doing, and that goes for jared kushner as well. >> you mentioned roger, one of the pastors who gave an indication today. he says you can't be saved by being a jew, and morminism is a here say from the pit of hell. and he said the same about islam. john haguey also giving an indication today. you think this really is an entirely domestic political management of the trump base? >> of course it is. it is an appalling disgrace that these two were allowed to open in prayer under the flag of the united states, an official u.s. government event given their mountains of bigotry, their anti-catholicism, anti-judaism, anti-islam. we don't talk about these people enough. they dress up as man of god but they are not. they are in business, and they are in politics. and the type of politics that they advocate is an ext

in new york before you became a congressman, you graduated from state university of new york albany, suny. >> or harvard on the hudson. >> you were the youngest attorney, 23 years old. served active duty, military officer, military magistrate while assigned to the elite 82nd airborne division in 2006. you were also deployed to iraq with infantry battalion in support of operation iraqi freedom. you are exactly the two men i want to talk to tonight. and let's start with you, congressman desantis. north korea. the president is about to have a summit in north korea, he moved considerable military assets off the peninsula of korea. several ships, submarines, and has put enormous pressure on korea as well as economic pressure. how do you think he's doing so far with respect to north korea? >> i think it's been great. kind of reminds me when reagan came in. we had the cold war, but throughout the 70s it was detente, all the smart people in washington, communism is here to stay and reagan is like no, we win, they lose, that's my policy. he upped the rhetoric. he was deploying missiles into europe

we hope it will do so now know that israel's relationship of this suny harrop countries is closer. we are poised for a breakthrough. thank you for joining poised for a breakthrough. thank you forjoining us. as we've been hearing, doubts remain about whether megan markle's father will attend his daughter's wedding to prince harry on saturday. the couple have appealed for "understanding and respect", following reports that thomas markle posed for papparazzi pictures. let's get moe on this from victoria howard. she's the editor of the crown chronicle and joins us by webcam. we still don't know who is right to walk meghan markle down the aisle. who would've thought this have happened? who would've thought this have happened ? the who would've thought this have happened? the palace will not have a contingency plan for this. it is a military operation in a royal wedding. but no one expects thomas to pull out in the last few days. we will see. i personally think it would be lovely to see meghan boss mike mother to walk down the. meghan and how am disposed to go in the car together to wint

you have a minority government dominating a suni-muslim nation. who is fighting on the ground a and allies helping us kill isis fighters. now the turks aiming to eliminate the state. the guards are there and -- the country is destroyed and has become the centerpiece of what is a civil and regional war. >> i'm going to spend tomorrow examining the questions you ask. is it a target list or strategy. thank you both. coming up, house speaker paul ryan announces his retirement. what was looming over ryan's political future, "the 11th h r hour" back after this. >>> that's why today i'm announcing that this year will be the last one as a member of the house. i am not resigning but intend to serve my full term but i will be retiring in january leaving this majority in good hands with a bright future. >> speaker paul ryan announcing hen won't seek re-election. >> ryan is walking away from donald trump and trillion dollar plus annual deficits that will bind congress's hands for years to come. >> national political correspondent, steve, your thoughts. >> he

stand with you against two threats, against iranian expansion and i stand with you against radical suni islam, opposite of what obama did. obama was seen as being more concerned about iran than the mideast. if we pull out of syria, it undercuts everything he told the arabs. syria in short order becomes a safe haven for hezbollah. iran and russia will dominate syria. it's a nightmare for israel. isis will come back and there will be new attacks launched against western interests from syria and north korea will look at trump and say this guy's all talk. >> paul: i guess the response to that would be, you know what, that's sort of a worst case scenario. but look, it's other people's responsibility to take care of that. israel can take care of itself. the saudis should ante up. why don't the french and germans and other people take care of the refugee problems. that's not what i believe in. that's the response you get from a lot of people. >> here's what i tell those folks, who takes care of america? are the israelis, the french and germans going to defend american interest. that argument f

. - [bill] suni, your camera is behind you. - [emily] and when spacecraft are sent on missions far away, sometimes they get lost as well. - anytime you have a spacecraft, things break. we just lost contact and it was gone. - join us as we look at how some spacecraft were lost and then remarkably recovered. (dramatic music) one of the most complex space missions ever attempted was when the european space agency sent a spacecraft on a journey to a comet as it neared the sun. their intention was to put this spacecraft in orbit around the comet, something that had never been done before. and while they were successful in their main goal,

looking at the a tally in economy ahead of sunday's general election and it's looking not too bad at suny actually italy's economy is on the road to recovery but there are some challenges on the way now there is the national debt level of one hundred thirty percent of g.d.p. there are banks struggling with bad loans and europe's largest number of people living in poverty is in italy so what to do italians expect from sunday's election let's take a look yes but i don't expect much i hope whoever wins will do more. people looking for peace all because i think something could change but it depends on which coalition wins i'm not sure if there will be a clear winner most likely they'll have to compromise and reach a broader agreement. will there be a clear winner could it take months for a new government to come together the italians are watching their smartphones the election is mostly being fought online all parties are promising more money some even proposing a universal basic income. but even the unions balk at that. frank i mean priority find the idea to introduce a universal basic incom

. >> evan, did democrats and republican lawmakers as you can imaginouon suny morning talk shows, let me play you what senator james longfd had to say and i will get your reaction to it on the back end. >> problem is not owning an ar-15 it is the person who owns it. it is not the how of what particular weapon is chosen, it is the why. i have individuals in my neighborhood that owns an ar-15. it doesn't make it a dangerous neighborhood, it is the individual himself, not the weapon they are holding. >> so the piece of legislation to work on the background check system we have in place which clearly failed on multiple occasions with many individuals. not just this. we can go through a long list of individuals. in this case make the argument, it is not the guns, it's the people. do you think that will hold up after what we just saw in florida. >> sni think it partially does. senator longford hits on that it is the people. we should expand background checks. but also further. i'm a second amendment believer. but also i support reasonable restrictions in access to guns. i was getting death

when he learned that a young prep chef named suni santana was undocumented, aaron said sunni could stay so long as he found a way to fix his undocumented status. thankfully sunni qualified for daca. he worked hard and thrived. in fact, he did so well that aaron offered to partner with him in opening his very own new restaurant in downtown phoenix. but then, cruelly and without warning, president trump terminated daca and stripped away sunni's status, throwing his entire life in limbo. democrats are fighting for dreamers like sunni. and for business owners like aaron who believe in them. we are also fighting for veterans like miguel perez from chicago. miguel has lived in this country since he was 8 years old. he served two tours in afghanistan and suffers from ptsd as a result of his service. unfortunately as is too often the case with us, this led to problems with addiction. miguel deserves our support. instead he's facing deportation. as i speak, miguel is currently sitting in an i.c.e. detention center in kenosha, wisconsin, which happens to be in the district of our speaker, paul ry

congratulations to 27-year-old suni strong. he plans to take care of his nephew and mom. >> i loved the kick when he jumped up. >>> we move on to the s.a.g. awards, where women took center stage. kristen bell was the show's first female host ever. the presenters were all women. abc's chris connelly was there. these awards usually give us a pretty good idea of oscar gold. is that the case? >> reporter: good morning, robin, and absolutely correct. yes, it's always a key step on the road to the oscars. last night's show gave us a fistful of favorites. on the acting side. a strong contender for best picture. and some forthright words from the women who won. as screen actors guild award host kristen bell set an upbeat tone. >> let's make sure that we're leading the charge with empathy and diligence. because fear and anger never win the race. >> and the actor goes to -- >> frances mcdormand. >> reporter: last night, best female actor frances mcdormand. >> i come out of the woods every few years. you invite me to the party. there's a
