experts to try to see how this new temporary restraining order would potentially affect that one, the hb 17, but we do know is governor elect roy cooper is still expected to take the oath of office at 12:01, just one minute into the new year. polo, i understand cooper is also cleaning house a bit with his new staff. tell us about that. absolutely. a source within his administration told me they have begun sending out dismissal letters to a few of the political appointees under the outgoing administration. of course we ve seen before, this is typically standard procedure when we have a changing of guard. however, given the significance of what s played out in raleigh, this could be bruising for the outgoing governor. it s certainly putting roy cooper on the map. polo sandoval, thank you. the whole world will be watching so what is being done to keep times square and other places across the country safe for new year s eve? that is next.
