hello, everyone. i am anita bogle along with joe concha, lisa foods and tom shillue. welcome to the big weekend show . big story tonight, countdown to christmas, shoppers have just one day left to get the presents under the tree, hundreds of palestinian protesters targeting holiday shoppers on new york city s busy fifth avenue. there would be quote no business as usual but that is not stopping more than 100 million shoppers expected to make supercenter the second busiest shopping day of the year. fox news correspondent madison carpino is in a mall in atlanta tonight. mueller expected today to potentially be busier than black friday so if you haven t gotten the last items on your gift list, is better to go sooner rather than later today because at least in atlanta crowds are growing by the minute. multiple stores have lines outside the door and two days before christmas. this is the first time since 2017 since we have a super saturday right before christmas. i would say
see you. welcome to the beat. i m ari melber. i hope you stay with us. tonight we begin with developments that i think really offer a kind of a contrast in this period of legal reckoning and accountability we have been talking about together because we were thinking about this for tonight s show. if you look at all of the prosecutors and all the investigators and all of the probes that donald trump has faced, including squaring off against big-time experienced investigators like prosecutor and former fbi director mueller, there were crimes found. there were issues that ensnared donald trump s aides. but even as the now-two-year probe of a public insurrection and attempt the coup has grinded on and on and not reached donald trump or most of his top aides, there are more clear signs and steps that show one prosecutor on a different fact pattern, a different case, has proven able to legally get farthest against donald trump and make precedent. i m talking about the new yor
he has a little guy, they are adjusted for someone who seems like this. and i have spots. and it s the worst day to have spots, because today is a big day, this is a big show. kat, this is our two-year anniversary show! [cheers and applause] yeah, well, this marriage of the three of us is off to a great start with greg forgetting it s our anniversary and running off to germany to make art films like he is lord for quad. yes, look at that, you see it. yep! not my blue buttons! anyways, thanks for nothing, greg. no, but thank you, greg, kat, staff, team, and our amazing fans for making us number 1. [applause] and let s not forget jean who does all of the dancing and singing and annoying things. [applause] but we will not put the camera on him, not even for a second.

don t have more information whether there was hazardous material or not. the testing they have so far is that it would not be actual poison or threatening material but again, we just got this in moments ago. this is not the first threat of its kind this is a significant development. and while we are careful to note only tell what you law enforcement has said for example they re not saying a source or suspect, i can tell you as a factual matter we re reporting on this new threatening letter sent to the d.a. at the very time just yesterday we were reporting on a new filing by the same d.a. alvin bragg that cites as criminal evidence donald trump s public provocations to potential violence, him swinging a bat at this d.a and that filing, which we have more on later tonight, quotes from exactly these kind of threats, many without powder, many without anything physical attached poured into the office. the d.a. connected in general what he argues is donald trump s unlawful medd
