The pet did not survive the flight. And what the airline is now saying tonight. Good evening. And its great to have you with us here on a very busy tuesday night. That massive Storm Hitting at this hour, but first tonight, the storm swirling inside President Trumps cabinet. President Trump Firing Secretary Of State Rex Tillerson, and doing so in a tweet. The president firing tillerson, then calling him several hours later from air force one. The president naming cia director mike pompeo as the new secretary of state. And look at the wall tonight. At the top there, tillerson fired. He was not the only one fired at the State Department today. The undersecretary of state, steve goldstein, who tweeted that tillerson did not know the firing was coming, he was then fired, too. In addition to all of the vacancies that already exist at the top of the State Department. And so, we begin tonight with abcs chief White House Correspondent jonathan karl.

that voice to activate their machine. ainsley: that s true. they could still be sleeping some people fall asleep the night before watching shannon bream s show and the tv is still on in their bedroom and you just woke them up. brian: you are welcome. steve: today is the wednesday before christmas. that is why once again this year we are going to have timothy cardinal dollan the archbishop of the diocese of new york city join us in the 8:00 hour. if you have a question for the cardinal we would love you to ask us. email us on friends@foxnews.com or facebook. ainsley: he is going to answer your questions. brian: i will say this. i m not sure if i have a vote for this, but i would like to make him pope. i think he would be a great pope. steve: i think you have to be in the college of cardinals. brian: i will put in an application. steve: who is the mascot at
finally tonight, what happened five years ago today. it was five years ago today, pope francis chosen as the next pope. we remember that night, a limo waiting, but he instead chose the van, riding with the cardinals who had just named him pope. returning to the hotel he d be staying at to pay the bill himself. tonight, in a new documentary, pope francis addressing questions of inequality, war and peace. there are the more personal moments, visiting the sick, visiting the forgotten. celebrating mass. and speaking directly to the camera, he urges everyone to learn to listen. the people s pope showing his humor when it comes to families, he says there are those disagreements.
on the balcony. at the end he told his 114 electors, you know, god help you for what you have done. that is, electing him pope. this is a guy who is very humble. it was sweet when he came back on the balcony insisting people sheepishly thanking people for coming and saying, safe travels home and sleep well. i think he felt bad there were so many people out there. it was an amazing evening to be on the square. it s great to hear the small nuggets of what are now important moments in a man s life and are telling about who the new leader is. miguel marquez. thank you. i want to take us back right away to st. maarten. joining me on the phone is kris anderson on carnival cruise ship dream with his wife and sons.
the cardinals are now thinking about plan b. that s entirely possible. the thinking going into all of this, again, this is from all our people who work here year in and year out, that the thinking was that cardinal scola of milan might have been the leading candidate to become the pope and the thinking about the way these things worked in the past is they get together, the folks who want to vote for them. and the hope is they ll get to the 77 necessary to make him pope. but as it turned out, the 71-year-old, who was created cardinal by john f. kennedy pope john paul. they haven t had any communications with us since yesterday they closed the doors. so nobody really has any idea. it s possible that they don t get a pope today or tomorrow, that they could go in a completely different direction. brian: what about an american? yeah. possibility of two americans.
