Speaker 2 (00:08):
President Trump says Netflix plan to buy Warner Brothers Discovery
could be a problem. Or from Tammy Treheo.
Speaker 3 (00:17):
Speaking Sunday at the Kennedy Center Honors in DC, Trump
said Netflix already had a huge market share, and if
it acquires Warner Brothers, it'll go up even more. Netflix
announced Friday it planned to buy the historic studio and
its streaming assets in a seventy two billion dollar deal
that will require federal approval. Trump said he met with
Netflix co CEO Ted Sarrondis, but didn't say if he
(00:39):
was in support of the deal. I'm Tammy Trio.
Speaker 2 (00:42):
A federal judge has blocked the Justice Department from accessing
evidence belonging to a former lawyer for ex FBI Director
James Comy Mark Mayfield with that story. Saturday's ruling by
a district court junction in Washington, d C. Came in
the form of a temporary restraining order. It prevents the
doj from getting information from the lawyer's personal electronic devices
(01:02):
without a warrant. Last month, the federal judge dismissed obstruction
charges against Komi after the court rule that President Trump's
handpicked prosecutor was invalid. I'm Mark Mayfield. Mother nature isn't
showing any mercy as more Arctic air is headed for
the Midwest and eastern US. Adrian Broadus is in Chicago.
Speaker 4 (01:22):
Residents digging out embracing for the winter season ahead. Temperatures
are expected to be below freezing here in Chicago through Tuesday.
Speaker 2 (01:31):
I don't think I'll be out too much. Temperatures could
be below zero this morning in parts of the Midwest,
while dropping into the teens in others. Light snow is possible,
and forecasters say heavier snow is possible but unlikely. Acting
legend Dick van Dyke turns one hundred years old on Saturday.
That's the same day director Steve Betcher is releasing the
(01:51):
film Dick Van Dyke one hundredth Celebration one hundred.
Speaker 5 (01:55):
Years been making you think about it and we interview
all the co stars worked with mister Van Dyke through
his career.
Speaker 2 (02:02):
You can see the film in theaters on Saturday and Sunday.
I'm Michael Kasner. Somber ceremonies were held around the nation
Sunday to mark the eighty fourth anniversary of the attack
on Pearl Harbor. More from Rory O'Neil.
Speaker 4 (02:15):
Today, there are only a dozen survivors of the Japanese
attack on the US naval base at Pearl Harbor that
happened on December seventh, nineteen forty one, the date that
will live in infamy. Each is over one hundred years
old and unable to attend Sunday services in Hawaii. Along
with speeches and relaying ceremonies, American flags were flown at
half staff to honor the more than twenty four hundred
(02:37):
service members and civilians who were killed in the attack
that led to America's entry into World War II. I'm
Rory O'Neil.
Speaker 2 (02:44):
Democrats in Congress will get the vote they were promised
on the Affordable Care Act tax credits. Later this week,
Scott Carr with the latest from Washington.
Speaker 5 (02:53):
The tax credits were the key issue that led to
the longest government shutdown in US history, which ended after
Aplaublican Senate majority leader John Thune promised Democrats would get
a vote on the issue. Since then, Republicans had met,
they've been struggling to craft legislation that would get enough
votes to fix the core issue of rising medical costs.
A vote in the Senate's expected on Thursday. It's unlikely
(03:16):
a proposal from Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer will get
enough Republican support, but it will force an uncomfortable vote
for the Senators. I'm Scott Carr in Washington. The National
Survey has found this year's worst Christmas gift. Rob Martyr
tells us what it is.
Speaker 1 (03:31):
The survey, commission by Bett MGM Casino, found the most
unwonted gift this year is the self help book. The
survey title the Great Christmas Debate, also found that only
twelve percent of Americans believe the best part of Christmas
is receiving or giving gifts. Another Christmas debate solved by
the survey found that over seven in ten Americans approve
(03:52):
of regifting Christmas presents.
Speaker 2 (03:54):
And the twelve team college football Playoff has been unveiled.
After winning the Big Ten championship, Indiana has jumped ahead
of Ohio State for the top spot in the rankings.
I'm Michael Cassner.
