gas prices up 6 cents according to the lindbergh survey a lot of that to do with the opec deal on supply of course. but feel some pity for the poor people of san diego. they have the highest prices to deal with at $2.86 while those in texas paying just $1.99 in el paso. so it looks like elon musk is going to take on the traffic problem. he tweeted out saturday that he is thinking about starting a company called the boring company. maybe he'll want to create tunnels to deal with that congestion. i think that's something we would all welcome. u.s. postal service. 611 million items set to ship today. 750 million items likely to be delivered over the holiday season, which would be a new record. >> some of those will be mine i got to head to the post office later today and get the mail. >> get those under the tree. >>> coming up the white house staff play as holiday prank on the president. >>> and christmas came early on "saturday night live." your. wll un-stop right there! i'm about to pop a cap of "mmm fresh" in that washer with unstopables in-wash scent boosters by downy. and if you want,

he had the most celebrated ticker-tape parade in new york ever since charles lindbergh or the end of world war ii. he didn't want to be viewed as a guy cashing in on his nasa celebrity. he waited a while asking for further flight assignments. he asked the boss at johnson for his next ride and never got an answer. he couldn't get a flight assignment. i think after some disappointment and hesitation he decided to put his chips into the political world and pursue a chip there. he had a bathroom accident that knocked him out of his first campaign with a hospitalization. it wasn't until '7 that he became a senator. it was great to have a guy in the senate who new space policy backwards and forwards. he was a great advocate for human space exploration. i think that's where his value was most appreciated by all the astronauts. >> rusty, let me ask you about the training for that mission when he was a much older man. did he say it was particularly difficult for him to go through that rigorous training before he went up in space? >> uma, i can't speak to that directly but tom can. perhaps, to

because radio was the high-tech cool buzz word at the time, and also lindbergh had crossed the atlantic, so the two words, radio and flyer, were really exciting, cool words he put on the wagon, but it had nothing to do with the product. i became the president of the company in 1997. and my dad was an incredibly generous and gracious dad and let me make a lot of mistakes. one of the first things he said to me is my dad let me make a lot of mistakes. you're going to make a lot of mistakes. just don't go out of business making them. 90% of consumer products that are launched fail. and so inherent in coming out with new products, there's going to be failure. you talk about a thing called intelligent fail. . basically, it's that we don't want to bet the farm on any one product. we want to take a lot of different shots with different products. we want to get them to market as quickly as possible. because we have learned that we never know what's really going to sell until we get it in consumers' hands in a real form. on the shelf or online for sale. when i came into the business in the 1990s,

the first one in 1927 was charles lindbergh. a few hours over the atlantic but he did dominate the news. 1936, i give you 20 guesses. you won't guess who it was. wa wa wallace simpson. it's a good choice by them. "time" on some years has thrown up its hands. it wasn't dominated by someone. in 1982, it was the computer. in 1966, it was americans under 26. in 2006, they put a mirror on the cover. the person of the year was you. it was a tribute to our nar is a s six, i guess. >> one has to imagine hillary clinton agrees. she might decide the people who were most decisive in the election was james comey and putin and assange. in 1972, nixon won, they put a paper ma chez of his head. it wasn't the most flattering image. what do you make of this headline, president of the divided states of america? >> well, donald trump loves being named person of the year. it's a big deal to him. he felt it was snarky. >> was he right? >> is it in the copy in the story is about basically -- it's not flattering, per se. there's a lot of criticism wov

second only to charles lindbergh. he deserves it. he was insanely courageous. not just a fighter pilot in the second world war and the korean war. a test pilot in the '50s in the supersonic and space age where life expectancy was quite short for those pilots. but here he is the first man to go into orbit. imagine this. when you are ready to go -- it was postponed i think 11 times. your colleagues, co-workers strap you in, shut the door, they go down and they drive three miles, not one mile, not two, because of the fireball that's about -- >> you are at the top of the firecracker all by yourself. >> all by yourself. your best pals, your colleagues are in a bunker three miles away. that tells you how insanely courageous they were. you do remember, in the early '60s, we were having launch explosions with unmanned flights. that's why it was such a chance. it seems safe now. it wasn't. >> i do remember it got scrubbed. that was the word they used scrubbed over and over again because of bad weather on the cape. finally it took off. john glenn, godspeed. thank you, ch

no crime here because he was not killed here so that naacp turns to the fbi because we now have the lindbergh law that if you cross federal lines is a federal offense and j edgar hoover said there was no ransom required, no crime. so, seeing what this kind of violence on the blackbody has done. we saw the civil rights movement deploy the politics of respectability as a way to make visible that the only way, the only reason that you are seeing mrs. amelia boynton yanked onto the concrete in selma, it's because she's black. this can't be anything but racism, so it was a way to say you had a criminal record and so this is why you see this deployed. the politics of respectability does have some good pieces in it. i'm not one of those who's justt pops it off as some kind of victorian thing because being sober is not a bad thing. we know alcohol and drugs destroy families. of being sober is not a bad thing. education is a good thing, but what it doesn't do is protecttet black bodies from white violence , so i look one of the things about charleston. charleston drove me to thisch because i look at t

he returned to a hero's welcome people hadn't seen since lindbergh. >> john glenn was a political consultant in a campan and he made a point and i think jay barberry also made the point. he was missing the one thing a killer politician needs. he struggled to go negative. that was not something he was comfortable doing. that's who he is. by the way, it's what makes him iconic. it's a shame the politics is in a case where a guy like john glenn who had the right stuff to lead this country. essentially the rules of the game are so dirty he wasn't willing to do it. there are a lot of john glenns out there that may not try to run for office. thankfully john glenn did. you look at what succeeds and what doesn't and you say, boy, if you have john glenn's moral compass, it is a good attribute, but you may not have the tools to win a cut throat fight for the presidency. that's too bad. >> but he was a great senator. a great public servant. >> right. >> that's what's great. public servant, whether it was in the space program or in the united states senate. >> world war ii or korea. thank you very much.
