is often a painful one. nice to see on a saturday. merry christmas. thank you. molly: already rough year for mark zuckerberg. why some companies could have even more private user data from the social media platform. and news from the capitol and the white house. on the partial government shutdown as lawmakers try to 60 votes in the senate. majority in the house, and president trump s signature. that is what s needed. that is what will end this regrettable episode. ow. and just like you, the further into winter we go, the heavier i get. and while your pants struggle to support the heavier you, your roof struggles to support the heavier me. [laughter] whoo. [crash] and your cut-rate insurance might not pay for this. so get allstate, you could save money and be better protected from mayhem like me. mayhem is everywhere.
the current contenders to replace general james mattis at the pentagon include general jack keane. a fox news contributor though he is already intimated he is not interested in the job. senator tom cotton, a former army captain who served in iraq and afghanistan. and is also opposed to pulling more troops out of syria. as well as patrick shanahan, currently the deputy and lone supporter of president trump s spirit which much of the pentagon we now mostly opposed. recent military times poll show that general medicine enjoys an 84 percent of approval rating among america s troops. noteworthy that keane was also vocal the past couple of days. thank you for letting us know what your sources say. about brett mcgurk. and a little bit more on the participants in this meeting at the white house with what the
