baldwin's hands ended up fatally shooting the cinematographer and wound being the director. this is what the founder >> we learned today and reported exclusively that the gun that alec baldwin used to tragically, accidentally shoot haylna hutchins had been used earlier in the day with target practice. there's a lot of down time on sets. you probably know this. there is this pastime that crew members flin -- plinking. they shoot at beer cans. this is live ammunitions. this is the day that haylna hutchins was killed. >> we have new information about dave hols, the assistant director. he was fired in 2019 after a crew member was injured in another gun safety incident. production of "rust" is on hold indefinitely and possibly it'll never see the light of day. chloe is with us now. some of the pieces are coming together, even as there are so many questions to be answered. >> to hear the report about these crew members out doing target practice, plinking as we talk about it. when we talk to rust productions, they point us to a statement saying safety has been their top priority and concern. they're doing an investigation into this. they still don't know the details as to what caused haylna's death. was it a projectile, a live round of ammunition? i want to listen to an interview with meg james. a prop master turned down an opportunity to work on this movie. take a listen. >> when he was talking to the production manager to try to iron out the logistics of his assignment, he felt like the producers were a little evasive. he thought that they were trying to do too much with too small of a budget. and the one thing that really bothered him was that when he asked for two aassistants, one o be in charge of the guns, another to help him with the props, they said, no, they wanted that to be filled with one person. the gun person would have to also help out with props. he found that that was a red flag. >> yeah. also, as you said, filming on this movie has halted completely. obviously, there is an internal investigation. there is also an investigation by the sheriff's office. will this movie see the light of day? it doesn't look likely. >> i have to say, if that gun, if it turns out the gun wasn't used for target practice, it increases the legal liability for a whole number of people, not to mention the people who shot the gun, the people who were supposed to oversee the gun, how it got off the set to begin with. a whole lot of questions there. there are also questions about the assistant director. what more can you tell us about that? >> dave hols, he worked on "freedom's path" in 2019. julia jones got some explosive reporting. the production company said he was fired because a gun accidentally misfired. it didn't physically injury someone, but one of the crew members, he had some hearing loss and some hearing issues because of that. he was terminated that day. now, dave hols did not respond to cnn's request for comment, neither did rust production. dave w dave was someone who shouldn't have been out there on productions. >> thank you very much. keep us posted. >> i will. this morning, we're getting show and tell from a hollywood expert on how gunfire is supposed to be simulated on a movie or tv set, how to do it safely. no one getting hurt, obviously, except the fictional bad guys. here is cnn's gary tuckman. >> two, one. [ gunshots ]. >> reporter: larry is a renown motion picture armer, a safety specialist in the entertainment industry. >> we have the white cups. this is going to make a lot of noise, but there will be no residue or cups knocked out because it is not a live bullet. >> it is a blank cartridge. >> okay. >> countdown, three, two, one. >> no residue. no cups. created the illusion you want in hollywood without a bullet coming out. >> correct. >> reporter: we're at a independent studio services prop house north of los angeles. props that include north america's largest private armory. safety in the industry starts with a lock box for weapons. >> the gun we're going to use is inside here. this is the single action revolver. you can see that, at the moment, it's empty. >> reporter: you turn it so we're sure it is empty? >> this particular one has six cylinders. i'll always click it over seven times, just to make sure we didn't miss anything and that you're comfortable with the fact that it is, in fact, an empty firearm. >> reporter: i'm comfortable. this is what a blank looks like. >> cartridge case. there is no projectile. >> no bullet or projectile. >> reporter: it has gun powder. >> it has a primer in it. this is a modern theatrical blank. >> reporter: what looks like a typical bullet is sometimes used, for example, to show a tight shot of a gun being loaded in a movie or tv show. under safety regulations, such a bullet -- >> it's a dumby cartridge. it can't go bang. there is a projectile on the end of it. >> reporter: bullet. >> there is a bb. i can rattle it next to your ear. >> reporter: no gun powder. >> can't go bang. >> reporter: there are other precautions. >> we have the single action revolver. i measured out 20 feet, the minimum safety distance on a film set. we have a target there. i'm going to load up the blank into the gun and announce the gun is hot. hot gun on set. >> reporter: it's a hot gun when something is in the gun, in the chambers that will go bang. >> correct. if the gun goes bang, it is a hot gun. if it is empty and can't go bang, it is a cold gun. three, two, one. [ gunshot ] i'm going to unload the gun now. presumably they've yelled cut. i make, as the armer, the announcement, "cold weapon on set. cold weapon on set." >> reporter: i ask, what if someone walks in front of a person firing a gun with a blank. could you be seriously hurt? >> as you'll see, there is smoke and flame coming out. you know, you might feel the effect of it a little bit. but there is no projectile. >> reporter: okay. good to know. >> counting down. three, two, one. [ gunshot ] >> reporter: gary tuckman, cnn, los angeles. >> based on all the experts we hear from in gary's piece and the ones we talk to, it never should have happened. never. there were multiple layers of security in place that should have been there to prevent that gun from ever being able to go off and kill somebody. >> there should be no bullets on set. also, there's a difference between a prop dgun and a gun that accepts bullets, right? there should be prop guns that don't even accept bullets into the chamber. >> what a tragedy. >> yeah. it is the biggest crisis in facebook's 17-year history. tens of thousands of pages of damning revelations leaked by whistleblower frances haugen, showing how facebook profits off false information and relies on an algorithm that pushes fake news. among the revelations that cnn unk uncovered so far, facebook misled the public about extremism linked to the 2020 election and insurrection, allowed the algorithm to promote q qanon conspiracy theories. did little to stop violence in places like ethiopia. hasn't fixed things on the site leading to human trafficking. also it may have misled its board. >> i've seen research that says the engagement-based ranking shows divisive, extreme listen ko -- content. anger and hate is the easiest way to grow on facebook. >> now, facebook ceo mark zuckerberg is striking a defensive tone. he is blaming the media during his company's quarterly earnings call on monday. >> criticism helps us get better, but my view is that what we are seeing is a coordinated effort to selectively use leaked documents to paint a false picture of our company. the reality is that we have an open culture, where we encourage discussion and research about our work so we can make progress on many complex issues that are not specific to just us. >> antonio sullivan is with us now. it reminds me, in a way, of spoiled food, right? like a worm in the food. it's someone saying, oh, but they're focused on the worm, not the food. well, the food is spoiled. >> i think he is taking a page out of the trump playbook there, right? >> yes. >> i think that is becoming the facebook strategy. go after the media now. shoot the messenger. last week, we saw a facebook spokesperson gave a response to the "washington post" about a legit story. it was an on the record statement from a facebook spokesperson. over the weekend, nick clegg warned the staff saying, we're going to see more, as he called them, bad headlines, and suggested this was because the media was jealous, essentially, of facebook's success. so they're no longer engaging on these issues when we're going through their own documents and research. they're, instead, attacking the media. >> coming from internal documents and testimony from people who worked at the company, including frances haugen. what else has she been saying, donie? >> yesterday, haugen pinpointed a very good point. facebook is available in 100 languages, more than that. centrally in 100 languages around the world. facebook does not have support staff, content moderators, who can look for hate speech and harassment, especially in countries like india,ethiopia, e there are conflicts and various issues. they're dropping the ball, and facebook's researchers are pointing that out to them. listen to what haugen had to say in london yesterday. >> good actors, good publishers are publishing all the content they can do, but bad actors have an incentive to play the algorithm. they figure out all the ways to optimize facebook. so the current system is biased toward bad actors and biased toward people who pushed people to the extreme. >> i think a really important point that haugen also made here is we'll often see numbers from facebook saying they catch 90%, 99% of this speech and that, and say they're all on top of everything. but she made the point to say, some people, their feeds, depending who you follow, depending where facebook brings you, it is covered in misinformation. they show that with a research project internally. they set up an account belonging to a north carolina mom. she liked trump's page, fox news. within three weeks, she was recommended qanon, but also the three percenter militia. the militia that took part in the insurrection. you wonder how radicalization, extremism is happening in this country? there is a 41-year-old mom in north carolina being recommended this after three weeks on facebook? it's not hard to see where the problem is. >> they end up with a feed entirely of that kind of information. now, they are in a siloed stream of information, cut off from other influences. that's just what happens to the brain. that's just what happens to the mind. so what is congress going to do about it? >> that's -- you know, when we go in the field and speak to trump supporters and folks who don't believe the election was legitimate, and believe qanon and all these other things, people say, i wonder, how does that happen? well, take a look at their facebook feed. they live in a totally different universe than the other half of the country who have it based in reality. a lot of that is down to facebook and these platforms. what is congress going to do about it? really good question. they're all making noise, but are they going to make regulation? that is going to be one of the great questions, i guess, of our time. today, youtube, tiktok, and snapchat are in front of the senate answering questions about their harms on children, what protections they have in place for kids. >> right now, it is noise. they're making noise. we'll see if they take action. >> that's right. >> donie, thank you for the report. it's so important. president biden refuses to block another batch of documents related to the capitol insurrection that donald trump is trying to keep private. the latest on this escalating showdown ahead. plus, democratic leaders racing to strike a compromise on the president's domestic agenda. the critical sticking points that remain, and the white house delaying the release of jfk's assassination records, citing national security concerns. what?

one of the reasons folks around trump say they're proceeding with the suit, i mean, the obviously is the donald trump suits, right? that's not surprising. but there is not a ton of case law on this. there is not a lot of precedent on this. what happens to the rights of a former president? their argument is, we are preserving rights for future presidents. however, because of the way in which they're doing this, because of the subject matter they're doing this, it is going to raise all kinds of questions about what they don't want people seeing. the fact that the biden white house is saying, we're not, you know, running cover on this, has been extraordinary, just in terms of watching one president deal with another. but it speaks to how the biden white house has seen january 6th and talked about it all along. >> we don't know what is going to happen. we don't. this is a gray area, as you say. the trump people, what are their contingency plans if the courts don't intervene? are there any? >> no. they're going to have to give up the documents. i don't think they plan on, as far as i know, defying a court order. some is the national archives, right? i don't believe the national archives is going to cede to what the former president and his folks are asking. then there is the separate question of things being asked to be turned over voluntarily. there is some cooperation. look, there's a lot of focus on steve bannon, who is defying the subpoena. you know, there are people who believe that steve bannon is enjoying every minute of this. i think that will depend on whether there actually is an effort to charge him criminally. we'll see if he enjoys it after that. but he made clear he is not cooperating. there is some level of cooperation from the other aides, and that is important to note. whether there is going to be an issue on what they're coming up with, it'll depend what material the committee get. >> trump is exploiting a misconception about privilege, that anything you say to anyone as president has to remain secret. this isn't supposed to protect wrongdoing, right? >> in the same way that, you know, this is not supposed to be something that allows you to have cover of darkness. but, you know, former president trump would not be the first president who has tried to use a rather expansive view of executive privilege, depending on what was happening. i don't think we've ever seen it quite this expansive. certainly, we've never seen it try to be extended to somebody who is not serving in government, which is what he is trying with steve bannon. >> isn't serving in government, with conversations he had with other people who weren't serving in government. that is an extraordinary claim right there. >> right. >> it is an extraordinary claim but, again, it is tested in the courts. we don't know where it'll come out. i think it is important. again, they may get ruled against, and there are a lot of lawyers who think that is the way it'll go, but who knows with the court. >> the biden administration is appointing the republican secretary of state of washington to an important cybersecurity position inside dhs. a republican appointee on election security matters in dhs. how do you read this? >> i read this as the biden administration trying to do a couple things here. number one, this is an incredibly important position that they're filling here. in the last election, it was filled by somebody who was very vocal that this was a safe and secure election. i believe said it was the most secure election in u.s. history. i think what the biden folks are trying to do is recognize there are going to be people they can never reach, to try to link the false claims from the former president and his supporters about widespread election fraud. they're going to a republican who was in charge of election systems to do the best they can to send the message that this isn't partisan. one of the things that has become frustrating for this white house has been how basic fact set, like how an election was run, has become now a partisan football. >> let's check out something we saw on the house floor, which is a republican member of congress wearing a mask that says, "let's go brandon." this is jeff duncan. for the uninitiated, this stems from a crowd at a nascar race yelling, "f joe biden," but it was during the speech of the winner, brandon brown. the commentator thought the crowd was saying, "let's go, brandon." this is a substitute for f joe biden. you have a member of the house wearing this on the floor. >> it is a natural evolution from where we've been going this past year, which is basically whatever comedy the biden folks hoped was going to be there in congress, you know, hoping the fever, quote, unquote, as they put it, was going to break after trump was not going to break. trump has die-hard supporters, and there are people who are not in congress to legislate. they're in congress to get attention and basically attack and not to do something that involves working with other lawmakers. that's what you see. i mean, this is not -- there's nothing serious about this. this is literally done so he will get attention. it's working. it's just that it involves being object h on the house floor, which once upon a time was a respected sp space, a space treated differently. as we saw on january 6th, plenty of people don't see it this way. >> you explained what "let's go, brandon" mean, but it is a mask saying f joe biden. that's from a u.s. congressman on the house floor. >> it's a huge breach of a norm -- i don't know how to describe this as a norm because this is just something i never would have even imagined somebody was going to be doing, was wearing a mask with that message. again, the goal is all about agitating. the goal is all about getting people upset. that's the point. i think there's that adam serwer column, cruelty is the point. trolling is the point. >> a south carolina congressman yelled at obama during the state of the union, and i ended up going down to south carolina to cover it. i just -- it strikes me, that would never happen today. how many south carolinas, how many moments could you go to? it'd be a huge thing back then. it isn't anymore. >> no. these changes don't take place overnight. the eroding of what is considered to be appropriate behavior, the eroding of norms took place over four years of a presidency and is now continuing out of office. it's just an important -- when i look at that mask, in addition to pretend cursing has never happened, but it is the fact it is on the house floor. the chants are at events that biden isn't even at. they're just popping up. that is the big difference. for people who thought it was going to end after january 6th, they were very maggie, thank yo. pfizer could be getting a green light from the fda by the end of today on its covid-19 vaccine for kids ages 5 to 11. plus, the moment that melted the hearts of millions of football fans. tom brady with a 9-year-old cancer survivor. >> he's crying. he got to meet tom brady. >> awesome.

because there are different steps to get to early november. >> yeah. absolutely. thank you so much for having me here today. so as you pointed out, the independent advisory committee for the fda will meet today to look at all the data that's been submitted for the vaccine for emergency authorization for 5 to 11-year-olds. you know, everything we've seen so far seems encouraging. so we'll -- i think parents and pediatricians are watching that carefully. you know, if the advisory committee recommends the vaccine, and the fda authorizes it, then next week, actually, the cdc will take a look at it with their independent advisory committee. at that point, then the cdc director will be able to make a recommendation about if the vaccine is recommended for children. >> and shots begin? >> well -- >> for 5 to 11 you think? >> absolutely. >> when in. >> assuming all goes well and all goes as we encourage -- or all go as we expect, then next week, after the meeting on november 2nd and 3rd, the vaccine should be ready to go. now, i think one thing that i've been sharing with parents and really talking to folks about is that this vaccine is a lower dose. it does come in a different vile because it is a lower dose. it is not going to be as quite as simple as using the supply that's already there. folks are working really hard to make sure that everything is teed up, so that if and when the vaccine is authorized, it will be available. but there may be a few days after the -- you know, after the vaccine is recommended before it's really fully in use and available. >> so do you go to the pediatrician to get it, or, for instance, i got my shot in a gym, right, in a basketball gym. will there be large events like that for children? how will parents be getting this? >> yeah, really all of the above. i think, you know, the plan has been really, i think, well thought out. it includes a lot of different sites, really recognizing where parents are most comfortable getting vaccines for their children. i think there's some families who know they want this and want it as soon as possible, there's going to be some sites where, you know, sort of these larger vaccination sites and/or retail fpharmacies where you can go ge your vaccine. they're making sure supply is getting out to pediatricians, children's hospitals, and other places where parents may feel a little more comfortable getting the vaccine for their children. especially if they have questions or things that they want to talk through with the pediatrician. >> so what do you make of this interim trial result from moderna? we were just talking about pfizer. this is moderna. interim trial results showing that vaccines are well tolerated by children, and that the moderna vaccine works for children. >> yeah. again, i think this is very encouraging. you know, it's hard to think about when we were looking at vaccines for adults. we went through the same process, right? each manufacturer, you know, the data was available at slightly different times. i think that's what we're seeing here. but it is really encouraging. i think the more availability, the more access, more options we have, the better. >> right. dr. lee savio beers, thank you so much. >> thank you for having me. the northeast is facing heavy rain and the threat of flash floods weeks after hurricane ida tore through the region. >> it messed up my hair bad on the way in. >> and shoes. plus, virginia in the balance. big, new developments in the governor's race that could tell us where the country is headed. ♪ ♪ there e are beautiful ideas that remain in the dark. but with our new multi-cloud experience, you have the flexibility you need to unveil them to the world. ♪ instantly clear everyday congestion with vicks sinex saline. for fast drug free relief vicks sinex. instantly clear everyday congestion. and try vicks sinex children's saline. safe and gentle relief for children's noses.

what is the state of the race right now? >> hey, prixianbrianna. thanks for having me. this was the race to watch in 2021 because virginia is a great bellwether for how voters are doing and feeling nationwide. in the last few weeks, this race has gotten really close. mcauliffe went from being five points ahead in september to really, like you said, a dead heat now. the most recent poll found that the candidates are in a virtual tie, 46% to 46% right now. youngkin doing better, actually, among independents, which is really the group that both the candidates are trying to turn out. >> so one democrat was telling us yesterday, he doesn't want to rule out terry mcauliffe, but this is such a squeaker of a race. you said it is a bellwether. what are you extrapolating from this race? >> i think, first of all, there was a big question about the role that former president donald trump would play in this race. i think democrats worked really hard to tie youngkin to donald trump. and he's managed to sort of straddle the line between, obviously, you know, staying vocally he supports former president trump and would support him again if he ran in 2024. also, he barely mentions his name, and the two never appeared together. i think that's been a test of the post-trump era and how democrats, you know, are going to have to message around that. certainly, the former president gave democrats a boost in the state, leading to two pretty successful elections for them. but it seems like glen youngkin managed to skirt around that issue. >> so what is the thing that has made this so close? if terry mcauliffe does not pull out a win here, will he and others look at what he said during the debate about parents' involvement in their children's education as the fatal mistake? >> i think certainly ly the youngkin campaign seized on that since the debate. parent involvement when it comes to what schools are teaching, specifically when it comes to race, it's become essentially his closing message and the thing they're most focused on. then he's kind of used that to talk about a lot of different education you shissues that ared and helped boost his numbers, particularly among suburban voters, especially women. that goes beyond parent involvement and library books, for example, to the presence of police in schools, school choice, and even, you know, policies around transgender students, which bathrooms they can use and what sports teams they can play in. that has sort of become, you know, the center of what he's talking about right now on the trail. >> it's really the new battleground in virginia, and perhaps very far beyond. mel leonor, thank you for being with us. >> thank you. how did a load ed gun wind p in the hands of alec baldwin moments before he tragically shot and killed his cinematographer?

what's going on here? >> yeah, good morning, guys. thanks. well, look, there is the possibility there's some information within these files that still needs protected. that was statutory language. so i'll give you one example. lee harvey oswald, the expected assassin, went to mexico city in september of 1963. we know he visited the soviet and the cuban embassies. we might have had, probably did, sources in those embassies, both human and technical, and protecting those sources, especially human, they could still be alive 58 years later. they could be in their 80s right now. but what is really at stake here is getting the white house and the agencies to identify, specifically, what the harm is, so that people understand and have trust in their government. >> and i have heard it told that there are people, i don't know if you're among that, that think it's the cia specifically that's slow walking this. >> there's no doubt. absolutely. most of these records are cia records. even though they have cited covid, which is completely understandable, all the freedom of information act lawsuits have been litigating for the last two and a half years and have been stymied by covid. we all get that. but these records have been processed for the last 25 years. the agencies have been supposedly going through these that entire time. so to just now all of a sudden say, well, covid required this extension is a little disin disingenuous. >> so there's not much the trump administration and biden administration agree on, but trump delayed the release of some of this stuff also. now biden is. so why does it seem to be happening with presidents of both parties who disagree on everything else? >> because it's intelligence methods. i mean, it really does emanate from the agencies. the cia in particular, as we've said, has pushed this and pushed this. look, a lot of the information actually doesn't depend or relate to what actually happened november 22nd. so there's no smoking gun in these documents. but there's a lot of information surrounding the event. cia activities in kcuba, castro the years before, and any other type of information that may relate to organized crime. who knows? it is all about getting the fuller picture so that we have a better understanding of everything. and what we really want is the -- this administration, as everyone before it, to comply with the statute. this was a congressional statute passed in 1992. in many ways, congress dropped the ball too because they haven't done much oversight on it. >> are we ever going to see this? >> eventually, we will. look, this order that president biden issued on friday actually has some good things in it too. now, we have to wait another year, and that's not good. but he's requiring that the national archives digitize all the records, a quarter million records. most of the records are publicly available, but you have to go to the national archives in college park, maryland, to see it. so hopefully, sometime within the next couple years, these records will be online so anyone around the world can access them and do their own research. >> i've gone deep into different rabbit hole on the conspiracies surrounding this, people have truly wacky ideas. i know you have contact with all kinds of people also. i want to ask one last time, you don't think in the end there will be any mind-blowing, smoking guns here? >> no, no, i don't. look, those records are long gone if they ever existed. every piece of information is helpful to have a better understanding. a lot of times, it's getting those documents out so people can see there is no consp conspiconsp conspiratorial aspect to it to better understand it. transparency, the best disinfectant. it's the best opportunity for people to understand and learn to trust the u.s. government again. that even relates to events that happened 58 years ago. >> we all deserve to know. mark zaid, thank you. i appreciate it. >> thank you. damning allegations against facebook and now ceo mark zuckerberg is firing back with a conspiracy theory of his own to explain all the bad press. plus, new comments from lightning rod comedian dave chappelle, who is now saying he won't bend to anybody's demands. the new sensodyne repair and protect with deep repair has the science to show that the toothpaste goes deep inside the exposed dentin to help repair sensitive teeth. my patients are able to have that quality of life back. i recommend sensodyne repair and protect with deep repair. when you're driving a lincoln, stress seems to evaporate into thin air. which leaves us to wonder, where does it go? does it get tangled up in knots? or fall victim to gravity? or maybe it winds up somewhere over the bermuda triangle. perhaps you'll come up with your own theory of where the stress goes. behind the wheel of a lincoln is a mighty fine place to start. there's a different way to treat hiv. it's once-monthly injectable cabenuva. cabenuva is the only once-a-month, complete hiv treatment for adults who are undetectable. cabenuva helps keep me undetectable. it's two injections, given by a healthcare provider once a month. hiv pills aren't on my mind. i love being able to pick up and go. don't receive cabenuva if you're allergic to its ingredients or taking certain medicines, which may interact with cabenuva. serious side effects include allergic reactions post-injection reactions, liver problems,...and depression. if you have a rash and other allergic reaction symptoms, stop cabenuva and get medical help right away. tell your doctor if you have liver problems or mental health concerns, and if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or considering pregnancy. some of the most common side effects include injection site reactions, fever, and tiredness. if you switch to cabenuva, attend all treatment appointments. with once-a-month cabenuva, i'm good to go. ask your doctor about once-monthly cabenuva. ♪ say it's all right ♪ ♪ say it's all right, it's all right ♪ ♪ have a good time 'cause it's all right ♪ ♪ now listen to the beat ♪ ♪ kinda pat your feet ♪ ♪ it's all right ♪ ♪ have a good time 'cause it's all right ♪ ♪ oh, it's all right ♪ hello, for the last few years, i've been a little obsessed with chasing the big idaho potato truck. but it's not like that's my only interest. i also love cooking with heart-healthy, idaho potatoes. always look for the grown in idaho seal. for the bucs fan who gave tom brady back the ball for his 600th career touchdown pass, man, he is getting this ridiculous haul in return. andy scholes here with the "bleacher report." >> good morning, john. some experts believe that 600 td ball was worth north of $500,000. but the fan, 29-year-old byron kennedy, very kind and gave it back. he is getting two signed jerseys and a helmet from brady, game worn cleats from evans, who caught the pass and gave him a ball. $1,000 credit at the team store. two season tickets for the rest of this season and all of next season. brady said he's also going to give him a bitcoin, as well, but he told peyton and eli during the "manning cast" that byron could have gotten much more. >> byron realized he lost all his leverage once he gave the ball away. he should have held it and got as much leverage as possible. >> amateur move, yeah. if he would have held it, he would have been in the tom brady suite for the rest of the season. amateur move on his part. >> as for monday night football, the saints and seahawks playing in a downpour in seattle. first quarter, geno smith fired it over to metcalf. go goes 84 yards for the touchdown. saints allowing seattle just 126 yards offense for the rest of the game. new orleans would win a low-scoring affair, 13-10. you have the world series game one tonight in houston. braves in the fall classic for the first time since 1999. astros, their third trip in 97.5 y -- five years. the astros are like the new england patriots of major league baseball, right? good comparison? >> yeah. they've won one world series? >> well, they haven't won as much but -- >> opposed to -- >> -- cheating, winning team. >> tom brady plays for the patriots. >> i like the comparison. jose altuve is with the astros. you may not like the comparison, but i'm going to go with it. >> single source approval. thank you very much for that.
