FOX6 News at 9 | Nov. 10, 2026

With stories that matter to you, this is Fox 6 News at 9. The 2026 National League Manager of the Year goes to Pat Murphy of the Milwaukee Brewers. Now at 9, collecting more hardware from a hospital bed. Brewers manager Pat Murphy makes history tonight by winning his third straight National League Manager of the Year award. Plus Woo-hoo! One of the women at the center of a viral video at Ole Miss leaves school after alleged racist taunts, what she's saying tonight through her communications team. This is not an easy time for any of us. The West Bend community is still mourning the deaths of four people over the weekend. They're coming together to support each other in this time of need. But first, we've got to start with our big story tonight at 9. There was never a doubt, was there? No. After winning the first World Series title in franchise history, the Brewers win some new hardware tonight. For the third year in a row, Pat Murphy has won National League Manager of the Year. Lily Zhao joins us in studio to break it all down. Hey, good evening guys. Yeah, not only did Pat Murphy win National League Manager of the Year for a third straight year, he made history doing so. The Brewer Skipper is the first manager ever to win this award three years in a row. And in true Pat Murphy fashion, like we talked about, he accepted the award from his hospital bed. He's in his hospital gown coming off of hip replacement surgery. And Murphy is still in good spirits to talk about doing something no other manager has ever done. Behind Murphy, the Brewers set a new franchise record with 103 regular season wins. And as we all know, Of course, they went on to win their first World Series title in franchise history. But it wasn't just what popped up on that stat sheet. Murphy's way of managing his players, knowing when and how to push the right buttons, is what made him and what makes him a great manager. For Murphy, though, he reflected on what this whole ride has meant to him. That was the most gratifying part, just to see our players just celebrate and just be so proud of their accomplishments. And it was all about doing it together. And that was that was the greatest part of all the other stuff is great and nice. And who doesn't like to, you know, get to go on Saturday Night Live or go down to Notre Dame and be recognized? Who doesn't like that? That's just icing on the cake. But those things that see how happy the players were and fulfilled the players were just, you know, it was great. Pat Murphy is now just the 10th manager in either league to win the award three or more times since it's been given out annually, and he accomplished all of this in just his third year as Milwaukee's skipper. Couldn't ask for anything more. Ben and Kim? What an incredible honor, but can we talk about him receiving this from his hospital bed? You wouldn't do it any other way, right? It's Pat Murphy in his element. Again, he had to have the surgery, but you'll love that he just did everything from his hospital bed and took it in stride. And a reminder, he did a lot of this season in pain. That hip has been bugging him, and you almost would never know it. He didn't want to talk about it. Yeah, this is a hip replacement surgery he was supposed to have back in the summer. He also had back surgery. He came back the next day to manage this team. So you're not going to keep him out of the game of baseball. You're not going to keep him out of talking about winning his third straight National League Manager of the Year award. Well-deserved, well-deserved. All right, Lily, thank you. Our other big story tonight, she was caught on camera making racist gestures and sounds outside the door of an apartment rented by black students. And now the Wisconsin native at the center of this viral video at the University of Mississippi has withdrawn from the school. Sam Kramer is joining us live in the newsroom. Sam, what else did we learn today? Hi there, Ben and Kim. Melana Kunitz hired an attorney and crisis communicator who shared an apology. With news outlets today, we'll get to that in a minute. They say other reporting that claims she withdrew because of harassment is not true. Now, this stems from video that was recorded Friday night on a doorbell camera in off-campus housing at the University of Mississippi. The first woman to make those gestures is Kunitz. She is the daughter of Scott Kunitz, the former chief operating officer, Wisconsin-based Kunitz Automotive Group. Her grandfather, Greg, still owns the company, which we've reported on before. An employee put the N-word on a customer's oil change sticker you just saw there in 2025. Now, Kunitz, she graduated from Elkhorn Area High School and was a freshman at Ole Miss this semester. Her decision to withdraw came after her attorney shared this apology today, which reads in full To the women I offended and to the Ole Miss community, I sincerely apologize. Before the incident on November 6th, I never met the women involved and was unaware of their race. However, I recognize my actions were insensitive, inappropriate, and deeply harmful. I would have never intentionally made those noises or gestures toward a person of color. I have apologized to the women, and I pray they will forgive me. I could never truly understand the pain I have caused them, and it was never my intention. These girls deserve to feel seen and understood, and what I did is not a reflection of who I am trying to become. Over the past several days, my family and I have received death threats and harassment. I am grateful for the authorities working to ensure our safety. As I intend to cooperate fully with the university's investigation, I ask for privacy for my family. She closes in saying, I understand the seriousness of the situation and remain committed to taking responsibility and learning from this embarrassing ordeal. Close quote. Now, we also spoke with the media relations staff at Ole Miss. Tonight, a spokesman says he could not comment on the status of the school's investigation or if it changes now that she has withdrawn. He also was not sure whether the other two students who are seen in that video are still enrolled at Ole Miss. Live in the newsroom, Sam Kramer, Fox 6 News. Sam, do we know anything about the other two women? No. Again, none of them have been publicly identified by reputable news outlets. Again, unsure if there's a Wisconsin connection for them or if they're just classmates and friends that they made there, again, in the Oxford, Mississippi area. But also, as we just said, unsure if they are both still enrolled as well. All right. That's been a fast-moving story. Sam Kramer, thanks for the updates there. Well, this just in. One of Milwaukee's alternative high schools closing at the end of the month. After 34 years, Asada High School says it will permanently close on November 30th. The school says declining enrollment made it increasingly harder to sustain the quality of education that students deserve. School officials say they will work with families to help students transition to new schools and transfer any necessary records. A 22-year-old man is now in custody, accused of brutally beating an MPS teacher to death. And today the case was described by the. The prosecution is horrific and violent. A witness says the suspect, 22-year-old Dalen Millard, punched the victim 20 to 30 times in the head before eventually dragging him by a lanyard. Mallard. Also appear to be in court for the first time today. He's facing a charge of first-degree intentional homicide. Witnesses say the victim was at a bus stop near 12th and Walnuts on November 5th when the brutal beating took place around 5.30 p.m. Mallard's accused of killing 56-year-old Harry Bruce. Bruce was an MPS special education teacher at Roosevelt Middle School. But the school says he worked for 13 years. Prosecutors say that when police arrived, they found him bleeding from the mouth and nose and lying unconscious. Police say surveillance video shows Mallard punching the suspect continuously, stopping and then jumping right back on top of him, even in his final moments. Witnesses say Bruce saved her life after the suspect threatened to hurt her next before she eventually ran for help. I would agree with the district attorney that this is a very violent, seems unprovoked attack on someone, looks like waiting for the bus. It's unclear exactly. Certainly there are citizen witnesses that witness all or if not part of this attack. He does have family that lives in the area. He has no previous criminal record. He is taking classes at MATC. He does have to take some medication. Today, Mallard's bond was set at $250,000 cash. As West Bend mourns the deaths of four people over the weekend, local businesses are stepping in to help. Abril Preciado joins us with the community's efforts. Abril. That's right. Heartbroken doesn't even begin to describe the emotions that are felt in West Bend. But as friends of victims tell me, they are turning the pain into help as a way to help cope during this difficult time. A lot of sadness, a lot of grief. I think the whole community, especially the people that knew them really close, are just heartbroken. It's a palpable feeling of despair in West Bend, as a community grieves the loss of four people found dead inside this home Saturday. You wouldn't, you know, picture something like this to happen, so it's just a surprise. Megan Hammond is a bartender at Al's Hideout. She says the suspect, David Slonikowski, and the adult woman whose identity hasn't been released were regulars here. They played darts on the Wednesday night dart team. Every Sunday you could catch them here. It's just still shocking. A painful tragedy, Hammond says the pub is taking action. We've got the tip jar out here that we're collecting donations from. Customers, regulars, anybody who wants to come in and drop anything off. Turning pain into a helpful way to cope for the victim's loved ones. They deserve every bit of help that this community is giving them. Pleasant Valley Pub is also doing their part. Anything they can do to help, donations, baskets, there's going to be raffles there, silent auctions, all proceeds that we make is going directly to the family. It's an effort both Annie Mayer and Kayla Connell say hits close to home. All of our families. My family hung out together. My kids are friends with her kids. Her kids watched my kids. We did holidays together, birthday parties. The community is hurting. They were staples in this community. It's hard. It's really hard. Fighting through the pain, they hope to turn into something good. I want the family to know that they have an entire community behind them. And through these efforts, the community is also hosting a big fundraiser that is taking place on November 29th at the Washington County Fairgrounds. Now, for details on that event or ways you can help, you can check out this story on our website or a Fox local app for those details. A real thank you. Such a difficult story. Let's turn to the weather now. Snow. No. Do I have your attention? Snow flakes are possible this week. I'm not sure we're going to get piles of snow, but we're talking about snow. Well, it's about that time. It's November, right? Yes. You know what? We actually probably have snow in the forecast now based off our Updated model. We've got the HRRR model that just updated actually. So that means we could see a snow mix, but it's the fact that we're using this word. We got a rain and snow mix that could move in Thursday morning, which I'll highlight more of that in the full forecast. But yes, I've got to feed off of what you guys were saying as far as those snow possibilities. Now, will this be where we have accumulation? No, it is going to melt fairly quickly considering that it's going to be mixed in with some rain. The main thing we'll have to focus on is the fact that it will be It's going to be windy as well as having wind chills in the 20s. So that's going to be happening on Thursday. But before we even get there, let's talk about how more of those clouds have started to move in here on our satellite and radar. And then we got this rain that's just off to the northwest. That is going to be making its way to our area by tomorrow morning. Looking at our temperatures here, you see that we've all started to fall to the 40s, 43 in Duluth, 34 there in Marquette, 46 here in Milwaukee. Closer to home, we are starting to see some 30s as well. Burlington is already at about 38, Watertown near that 40-degree mark. Everybody else in the 40s as well will continue to drop throughout the night and warm back up tomorrow, but not too much. We'll talk more about that, though, coming up next in the full forecast. Back to you at the desk. Molly, thanks. The NFL trade deadline has passed, and the Packers didn't make a trade. Such a Packers thing to do. There were hopes from some fans the team would either address the offensive line or trade for a running back after Josh Jacobs broke his finger. And their win over the Patriots. But no trade came to fruition. Now, one of the biggest trades of the day that may affect the Packers was made by the Minnesota Vikings. They made a deal with Las Vegas Raiders. They're bringing back quarterback Kirk Cousins. Cousins last played for the Vikings in 2023 before leaving to sign with the Falcons. And guess who's coming to town on Sunday. The Packers are taking on Kirk Cousins and the Minnesota Vikings Sunday at noon. We don't know if he's going to be the starting quarterback, but I'd put my money on it probably. You can see the game right here on Fox 6, and we're going to wrap up our coverage with the Fox 6 Sports Blitz. That's Sunday at 1030. There's always plenty to talk about on the Sports Blitz, isn't there? Always. We have a whole day. Well, today marks a somber anniversary. It has been 51 years since the Edmund Fitzgerald sank in Lake Superior, claiming the lives of all 29 crew members. The massive freighter went down November 10, 1975, during a powerful storm with the waves reaching 25 feet. More than five decades later, the ship's wreckage still rests about 530 feet below the surface of the lake. The exact cause of the wreckage is still unknown. It was immortalized by the Gordon Lightfoot song released a year after the tragedy. Earlier today, we spoke with the Edmund Fitzgerald documentarian and diver Rick Mixter on Fox 6 News. It was so tragic. I mean, we knew that there were 29 lives that had been lost. The question was, why did Lake Superior never give up any of its dead? We'd seen in 1958 when the Carl Bradley went down, two survivors made it, and most of the crew recovered in 66 when the Morrell broke. We had one survivor, Dennis Hale. But why was it in 75 that not one person, not one body was found? And then when we dove it in 1994 in July, it was the dive right after mine. And ironically, it was actually the tugboat owner who we were renting the tug from, the guy that put our expedition together, Fred Shannon, spent $80,000 of the money that was supposed to be his wife's dream home. And he spent that to put us, a documentary crew, on the Fitzgerald. And it was that dive race. right after mine that they found the missing crewman in it it took us from an all-time high of diving such a spectacular you know known shipwreck the most famous on the Great Lakes to that bottom where you realize this is 29 people lost their lives here Last year, Fox 6 looked back at the tragedy, the theories, and the lasting legacy of the legendary freighter. You can stream our documentary, Gales of November, The Final Voyage of the Edmund Fitzgerald, right now on Fox Local and the Fox 6 YouTube page. It's also streaming tonight at 11 on Fox Local. City of Milwaukee wants to build a new library. In an area that could really use a boost. Part of a larger development to not only get a new library, but to help revitalize the Midtown Center area. The new plans for an abandoned Walmart that are taking a big step forward tonight. Plus, Governor-elect, what do you want the legislature to do on day one? Governor-elect, well, he's not the governor yet, but he's already ducking. Our political reporter will tell you what the Democrats are promising as they get set to take over in Madison. We're back in 60 seconds for kids. You're watching Fox 6 News with Ben Handelman and Tim Murphy. Vacant since 2016, tonight there is progress in the redevelopment of what used to be the Midtown Center Walmart. Plans there include a public library. Christina Van Zeltz is in the newsroom with how the city's first listening session went. Hey. Hey Kim and Ben, this is the first time project leaders with the Milwaukee Public Library heard from the public about the vision for the Midtown Branch. That will replace the Capitol Branch Library, but that will stay open until this new location is complete. So this is the vacant Walmart and the library would sit in the front on the northwest corner. The Milwaukee Plan Commission approved a revised version of the project back in July. During tonight's listening In the listening session, people talked about what they hope to see, which includes seating spaces, Sound mitigation and seeing staff when you walk in the front door. Other topics like meeting rooms, teens and kids space, also layout were brought up. Now the library, it's not the only plan for that space inside the Walmart. The rest of that project includes affordable housing, community space and self-storage. There's also 200 units of housing that are going to be built in the former Walmart parking lot. That's going to probably take off within about a month or so, but that's going to be happening while we go through our process and then we'll be doing construction as well, so there'll be some overlap. Project leaders for the library say they are targeting a grand opening for late 2028 or early 2029. Again, this is still very early in the stages of that all. This is the first time the public and those project leaders were discussing the vision. In the newsroom, Christina Van Zeltz to Fox 6 News. All right, Christina, thank you. So much real estate that's just not being used right now. We wait to see what develops. All right, let's go to weather. And I don't want the snow to develop quite yet. Yes. It is November. Like, we got to, it's going to happen at some point. It is, but let's wait until December. I don't remember. Can we bargain? I mean, listen, you can try. Bye. Yeah. It's like, good luck with that. I mean, I'll say this, Kim. It could always have been worse. I mean, last year, look at this. We, last year, were talking about snow, where we had that huge lake effect snow event. Do you guys remember that? Racine and Kenosha, seeing over a foot of snow. That was all because we had warm lake water. And then on top of that, we had a, almost about a 42 degree difference in temperatures. So the lake, Lake Michigan here, 52 degrees. 5,000 feet above Lake Michigan, it was 10 degrees. And what did that do? That created this very strong and huge lake effect snow band that really was just off of the lake. But because we had that northeasterly flow of the wind, guess what it did? It pushed all of that snow in, and it dumped about a foot of snow in. Racine County as well as parts of Kenosha County. So listen, when we talk about snow, it could always be worse, folks. But that's getting a little bit of a snow mix coming to our area this week. I like to consider us pretty lucky, okay, because it could always be what we had last year. And we all remember how long that actually took to actually melt. It was so much snow. Looking at our almanac, too, though, we're actually warm today, 64 degrees. Our normal temperature is about 50 degrees. So we're about 14 degrees above our actual normal here, our average. Looking at the conditions now, we've dropped since then. So we are at 46 degrees. Our dew points are at 35. Wind is nice and calm. Looking at those temperatures across southeast Wisconsin, what you're noticing here is we're starting to see some 30s. So 37 in West Bend, 38 in Burlington, 40s. Everywhere else. So everybody, for the most part, is flirting with the 40s and looking at those temperatures and how they've changed over the last 24 hours. We now have everybody to be trending a bit cooler, except for, you know, about one degree warmer in their area. And as those temperatures trend throughout the night, we will continue to stay in the lower 40s, especially for the Milwaukee area. Some other areas could even get down to upper 30s tonight. We are quiet right now across the entire state. We do have more of those incoming clouds that are going to pretty much cover the entire state. Then we start checking that rain that you see just off to our northwest. Let's look here on our Sky Vision Plus. So going throughout the night, we will continue to have those clouds hanging around. We get a chance for a slight for some showers. Not everybody will see it all at once, but we will get some rain throughout the day. We also will have chances where it's going to be some dry time, especially in the afternoon and evening. It will be a little bit drier now come Thursday morning. Look at this. Start to see this. This is more of a rain to snow mix. Not necessarily going to have an accumulation. However, we could see some rain and even some flurries and it's going to be very windy. So those wind chills are going to be in the 20s come Thursday. So Thursday is going to be a pretty eventful day. Really Wednesday leading into Thursday is going to be an eventful day. But guess what? It gets better as we head over the weekend here. Temperatures will stay in the 40s. We'll warm back up as we head towards the beginning of the week where we'll see those 50s. Back to you, Ben. All right, Holly, thanks. We've got to get to some breaking news. This is on Milwaukee's northwest side. This is Hampton and Appleton. This is the discount gas station there, and it is surrounded in police tape, and we have seen, Kim, a lot of officers here. Our photographer there is on the scene, and as he pans down the street, there are a number of squads that are also responding to the scene. We can tell you that the medical examiner has not been called, but we do know that there is a heavy police presence as something is being investigated. That happened and it seems to be focused on this convenience store, which you said is near Hampton and Appleton. It's interesting because there's a lot of police squads as we pan over here. Hopefully we'll see some of this on Appleton. OK, so here you're going to see. So the gas station, obviously there's police tape there. But look at all of these squads. One, two, three, four. Five, at least a half dozen squads right there, all parked by the gas station. And there's a lot of focus on what's happening. So we don't have information. Obviously, police are really busy right now. But we did, again, reach out to the ME and they have not been called to the scene, which is good news there. And a good idea to avoid the area if you do have some business that takes you out this evening to the northwest side. Avoid the Hampton and Appleton area as there is this. Police investigation that's going on. We'll keep our eyes on that. All right, as it gets cooler outside, Fox 6 is helping keep kids warm.

And now another blow for the small business, the employee who's accused of using the store's Pokemon cards to settle outstanding debts. Just when a collectible store in Twin Lakes thought it was over, one of their own steals from them. In August, our Racine Kenosha County reporter, Ben Hanson, told us about a collectible store that was robbed for more than $300,000. And now, Ben has the details on how a trusted employee allegedly stole nearly $65,000 from that same collectible store. And another one not too far away. Basically lived a giant lie. Two weeks ago, the owner of Goldenrod City Collectibles in Twin Lakes, Eric Cabaz, figured out one of his employees was stealing from him. And did you think Alan would ever do something like this with the time that he worked here? Oh, God, no. Alan Aguilar was allegedly taking Pokemon cards and giving them away to cover debts and straight up not paying for other merchandise, totaling nearly $15,000. Not in a million years would we have expected it to be Alan, of all people. So Khabaz fired him. But not long after, Khabaz talked with the owner of BS Collectibles, a store in Silver Lake less than five miles away. That owner revealed this wasn't new for Aguilar. According to a criminal complaint, Aguilar stole over $50,000 from BS Collectibles over the course of a month back in 2024. He did this by taking money supposed to be used to buy merchandise and keeping it for himself. Alan was one of the He would always bring up like how stealing is bad and you know you never steal from your friends. But the owner of BS Collectibles didn't press charges. Instead he agreed to set up a contract with Aguilar where he would pay $200 back to the store weekly until the total was covered. But then last month Aguilar stopped paying and responding to messages. Saturday Twin Lakes police arrested Aguilar at his home and charged him with felony theft. Cabaz also plans to file charges still thinking about the betrayal. If it happens again then I'm gonna you know Probably closes and just do it on the side because there's too much to stress about. Having employees and best friends, I guess, steal from you. The owner of B.S. Collectibles declined an interview, but Aguilar didn't when we talked to him back in August about the break-in. Here he is talking about Khabaz. This guy is literally one of the greatest guys you could ever meet and talk to, like genuinely a good person. And I think that's what hurts the most is, you know, I don't think anybody deserves to be robbed, but having such a close relationship with Eric and having this happen to him is really kind of what hurts. Ben Hanson reporting. Twin Lakes Police didn't get back to us today to talk about the case Aguilar is expected to be in court on November 24th. Well, a man charged with shooting and killing three people is set to go to trial next week. Today, the man's cousin, who prosecutors say helped him the night of the murder, appeared in court. Bill Niston has a preview of the trial. Plus, Wisconsin Democrats prepare to take over Madison. The layout of their plan starting on day one. You're watching Fox 6 News with Ben Handelman and Tim Murphy. We're still following this scene. Appleton and Hampton, we got movement here at the gas station. Look, they have brought the canine unit out and the flashlights. We've seen a lot of officers with flashlights. As, again, we've said the focus has been this gas station, and now you're seeing it with your own eyes as they've brought this canine out to presumably look for some evidence. And more towards the edge of the property, not involving the store, it doesn't appear, or anything happening with the pumps. But we do see a large area that is now taped off near Hampton and Appleton at this gas station. I mean, it's very well lit, so we can see everything that is happening. But we don't know exactly what is happening, just that police are intently searching for something there. And that we know that there's at least half a dozen squads that are on the scene. And that the medical examiner has not been called. Yeah, look, you can see one. It looks like maybe a van there at the pumps. And officers just walking all around this property. Kim, you said it earlier. This is a very busy intersection. I mean, Appleton and Hampton, a lot of traffic there. And from what we can tell, I believe this is Appleton that all the officers are parked on. And they've shut that street down. So you do not want to go up and down Appleton. And really, I'm not sure if Hampton is open. As well, but they've got the whole area blocked off. But look at this. And then they've got this canine, which we don't always see when officers are looking, perhaps for evidence markers. If there have been shots fired, we often see them, you know, with the little cones, the markers that they then place on the pavement where they believe the casings, where they find the casings. We don't see any markers at all, but we do see this dog that appears to be searching for something. Those. Look, so they're going to point and have him sniff things. It's really interesting what these dogs are capable of doing. Obviously, drugs, one thing they're capable of finding, but also bullet casings, scents of clothing, if there's a specific scent that they're looking for. Okay. There just seems to be more processing of this scene, as you see a then-officer there with a camera. This is a different scene that, you know, sometimes we see big operations like this when there's been some kind of a chase and there's been some kind of a crash. But from what we're able to observe. Doesn't seem like it's centered on a vehicle at this point. Yeah, that's a lot of officers, though, and clearly they're still, and they'll work the perimeter with the dog. I mean, he'll go up and down, making sure there's no square inch of this scene that has not been looked at and investigated. And there they go, and they're off to a different, but look how many officers. There's some of the detectives. That's the forensic unit, I believe, the woman with the camera there. So, yeah, well, and there, they're going to go outside here. And we're going to just keep watching this because it's been interesting. No word yet from Milwaukee police. But again, we did reach out to the medical examiner who says they have not been called out to the scene right now. That's all we know. Another story. We're following the woman charged with helping her cousin who is set to go on trial for killing three people will now have her case before the same judge. Bill Miston breaks down the moving parts in this case. Thomas Zollicoffer's charge was shooting and killing three people within 30 minutes of each other in two different parts of the city this past August. He's set to go to trial on Monday, the same day a co-defendant who's charged with helping Zollicoffer is set to enter a plea in the case. Three months ago, a days-long manhunt ended when Milwaukee police arrested Thomas Zollicoffer Zollicoffer following a standoff near 84th and Feebrance. Zollicoffer was wanted for allegedly shooting and killing his ex-girlfriend, 26-year-old Vanessa de Herrera, and her friend, 29-year-old Scott Buchholz, at an apartment near 21st and Pierce on August 8th. Less than 30 minutes after that shooting, investigators say Zollicoffer shot and killed 39-year-old 9-year-old Shamarla Hair at a home near 39th and Townsend. It's actually to keep it. Short, the defendant executed three people in cold blood. In the days that followed, prosecutors charged Zollicoffer and two others with helping him. A friend. The state believes that this defendant directly aided his co-defendant in the killing of three people. This defendant drove him to... The place where two people were killed and then from there to the place where another person was killed. and Zollicoffer's cousin. Here, this defendant is hiding a man in her home whom she admits she knows killed multiple people. On Tuesday, prosecutors moved Alana Cole's case to Judge David Borowski's court, where the alleged getaway driver is expected to plea out Monday morning. Both are potential witnesses in Zollicoffer's trial, which is set to begin the same day. Zollicoffer is asking the court to suppress some or all of his statements to law enforcement, alleging violations of his constitutional rights and interrogation pressure. In the days that followed his arrest, Borowski revoked nearly all of Zollicoffer's jail communication privileges after prosecutors said Zollicoffer tried to tamper with or intimidate witnesses in the case. In Milwaukee, Bill Miston, Fox 6 News. Democrats, they're preparing to control the Capitol for the first time in 16 years. And today, they were tight-lipped about what exactly they would do first. Governor-elect, what do you want the legislature to do on day one? Governor-elect? What's your top priority for the first 100 days? Today, Governor-elect David Crowley met with Democratic lawmakers. The party just flipped control of the Senate and the Assembly, the Assembly, and the governor's office, they'll keep. Democrats wouldn't give specifics about what they plan to do first, but they said they would be tackling cost of living and at some point legalizing marijuana. A future Assembly speaker pointed to things like free meals for all students, boosting school funding and lowering property taxes. What issues do you hope to tackle in the first month? We of course want to address the affordability challenge that Wisconsinites are facing. We heard about this every single day on the campaign trail. We know that we need to deliver for the people of this state and we understand that we have a mandate to lower costs and help families make ends meet in the state of Wisconsin. We of course will also be focused on protecting our rights and freedoms and strengthening our democracy in Wisconsin. I'm not optimistic. I don't like their agenda. I think it's bad for the state. I'm hopeful that the Republicans will be a little more aggressive. I believe we have a lot of the right answers, and our platform is the best to pursue for prosperity. And today, Democrats picked their new leaders. The Assembly's next speaker will be Greta Neubauer, who will be the first woman to ever serve as Wisconsin Speaker. Democrats take the majority on January 4th. A sign that colder weather is coming. The Wisconsin DNR reminds hunters that the 2026 gun deer season is almost here. It opens November 21st. It runs through November 29th. All harvested deer must be registered electronically by 5 p.m. the day after the deer is recovered. Hunters need the unique harvest authorization number associated with each permit. The DNR reminds you to treat every gun as if it's loaded. Always point the muzzle in a safe direction. Be certain of your target and keep your finger outside the trigger guard until you are ready to shoot. Be safe out there. Get all your clothes, all the neon, the good orange, all that stuff. You know, when you said make sure the deer is recovered. Recovered? I'm thinking, like, as in alive? Like, you've picked it up. Not going to be recovering. Hunters at least hope not. Not that kind of recover. Do you hunt a lot? Nope. Oh, I couldn't tell at all. Okay, moving on. Well, a beloved holiday tradition is returning to the Marcus Performing Arts Center. Michael Pink's The Nutcracker is taking stage starting December 5th and will run through December 26th. The performance brings together both professional artists and student dancers from the ballet school and the academy for this production. They'll also hold their annual sensory-friendly performance on December 17th. Tickets for the show are now on sale. Well, that is a sign the holidays are over. And that can send some people down a depression, rabbit holes, and tips on handling the holiday blues when we come back. And we've got a lot to talk about, including the weather here. We have some snow that could possibly be on the way. I'll give you the details coming up. Well, both parties on Capitol Hill are now choosing their leadership. The Republicans have chosen U.S. Representative Jim Jordan of Ohio as their minority leader. He's a hardline conservative and top ally to President Trump. Senator John Thune of South Dakota will remain the Republican leader for senators. Meanwhile, decisions for the Democrats are unclear. Current Senate minority leader Chuck Schumer told reporters he's confident he'll be elected as majority leader for Democrats, although... More senators are asking for someone new. One senator who did not participate in today's vote was Republican Wisconsin Senator Ron Johnson. Yeah, he walked out. And then he put out the statement on X saying, I did not participate in today's Senate leadership election because a defeat of this magnitude demands serious reflection and change. Holding a rushed election ignores the message our voters sent. We must acknowledge where and why we failed and develop strategies to succeed. I hope our conference can unite, learn from this moment. And do a better job listening to the American people and addressing their concerns. A Texas man is facing federal murder charges after a woman was found beaten and strangled aboard a cruise ship outside of Galveston. Federal prosecutors say that 48-year-old Jason Leon Watford of Tyler was taken into custody. After a housekeeper found a woman dead inside a cabin of the MSC Seascape Sunday, according to the court documents, Watford admitted to arguing with the victim before striking and choking her until she became exhausted. He became exhausted. The ship was instructed to turn around and docked back in Galveston Monday morning so that authorities could investigate. Watford faces up to life in prison if convicted. A highly anticipated peace summit aimed at ending the war in Ukraine is underway in the Middle East. Three-way talks between Russia, Ukraine, and the United States opened today in Abu Dhabi. The meeting marks the first time that all three nations have met face-to-face in nearly a year, focusing on potential security guarantees and hopefully an end to the conflict. Tensions remain high as Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy says Washington is pushing him to give up parts of Ukraine's eastern region to Russia. Well, inflation continues to take a major toll on our pocketbooks. The Consumer Price Index rose 0.4% from September to October, higher than many economists had expected. So-called core prices, which don't include the volatile food and energy categories, rose 0.3% last month. No yearly inflation rate was reported because of the government's shutdown back in October of 2025. However, some analysts calculate that prices are likely up 4% from where they were last year. Well, I knew today was supposed to be the day to do my yard work. What happened? I went shopping other places instead. Oh, did you get something good? I got a light for, I'm remodeling my kitchen, so I need a light or something. Well, listen, shopping over yard work, I would do the shopping, okay? So I'm not even mad at you, Ben. I'm not even going to get on your case because, hey, shopping. Work out in the yard. Which one's gonna win? I think it's gonna be shopping. At least for me and I mean Ben too. And if you are that way, listen, we don't blame you. But you gotta get those leaves out of the yard. You may not do it over the next two days, but you got time over the weekend, especially since our weather's gonna be great. Today was actually a nice day for us. We got to 64 degrees for our high temperatures today. A normal temperature is 50 degrees. And this morning we were in the 40s. Imagine that as our high temperature, right? Well, if you can't imagine it, you're going to feel it by the time we make it to the end of the week and the weekend because our highs are going to be looking just like that. Our normal temperature, though, as far as those low temperatures... It's supposed to be around the 30s. So we'll get to the 30s for some areas tonight. As for Milwaukee, most likely leaning towards the lower 40s. We're at 46 right now. Dew points are at 35. Visibilities are nice and clear with a steady pressure. Looking at our temperatures across southeast Wisconsin, a couple places in the 30s, a handful there. So 39 in both Burlington and Watertown, 37 in West Bend. And looking at our areas just across southeast Wisconsin that are not in the 30s, they're in the 40s. We're ranging from lower 40s all the way to upper 40s. And look at old Sheboygan there, not even the coldest place. They usually are, though, 48 degrees in Sheboygan right now, along with what we're seeing at 48 degrees. And then you got Kenosha at 46, a little bit cooler inland. Now, those temperatures and how they look as far as a change over the last 24 hours, we're trending cooler at this point. 14 degrees cooler in West Bend, 11 degrees cooler in Boatburg. Burlington and Madison, no changes there in Juneau and then about a nine degree difference in Fond du Lac. As we look at temperatures and how they'll trend throughout tonight, specifically for Milwaukee. Now you see here we're going to be in the 40s. So by the time you wake up lower 40s, maybe even some upper 30s for some of our areas. Looking at our satellite and radar, we are nice and dry across the state. That's thanks to this high pressure, but not for long. You see what's coming to town. You got that rain. That rain is going to be moving into our area. As we head towards tomorrow morning right now, though, we're going to have those clouds continuing to increase and push through the area overnight. Then we'll have the rain tomorrow morning. And then guess what? The S word. We got a little bit of rain and snow mix. Let's talk about it here. Sky Vision Plus. So we go throughout tonight, you notice those clouds continue to kind of push through heading into early on Wednesday morning. Now this rain could start way before seven o'clock. Let's say five o'clock is when the most of this rain should kind of start. We'll pick up a little more as we head towards seven. Then going throughout the duration of the morning, that rain continues. We get a break in the afternoon, though. So about 1 to 2 o'clock, we start to see things break and kind of clear out a little bit more for us. Still having a chance for maybe some scattered showers or two heading throughout the rest of Wednesday going into Thursday. Thursday morning, more changes. This is 530. Start to see a little bit more of that lake effect snow that could take place. And you notice here it could be a rain and snow mix. That continues just for the morning. Then we start to dry out, and it's still going to stay cold. As we head into Thursday, no accumulation is expected either, and we're going to have wind chills in the 20s. We do continue to stay cool over the weekend, and we warm back up a little bit as we head towards Monday. Back to you at the desk, Ben. All right. Thanks, Holly. Thanksgiving and the rest of the quickly approaching holidays can often bring a range of emotions. Which is why social science experts have ways to prepare how to avoid the blues. Marianne Rafferty has more from L.A. As the holiday season nears, feelings of sadness may bubble up for some. Loss, family matters and economic woes can take their toll, especially around this time of year. It's why social science experts are issuing red flags about the holiday blues, citing how it's best to start preparing to acknowledge intense feelings now, before they develop. If you're feeling sad, there's a reason for that. Your body, your mind, your heart is telling you something. So pay attention to it. Dexter Voisin is a licensed psychotherapist. He says one way to help avoid a holiday slump is to focus on not overextending yourself. This can be done by simply saying no. So folks are asking you to come to holiday parties and reunite with family members but that you know you have historically strained relationships with. Say no, that's actually a kind and caring thing to do. Still, the pressure to accomplish lots of cooking and shopping on top of trying to make everything perfect can still trigger stress. Voisin recommends keeping everything in perspective. Realize that holidays are just one day. And sometimes folks get maddened with activity or expending around this one day. Meanwhile, experts say it's important to realize the holiday blues and depression are not the same. If folks find themselves not being able to sleep, loss of appetite, losing interest in things that normally bring them joy or happiness for two weeks or more, this might be a sign that you're experiencing depression and not the holiday blues. Voisin says seeking professional help is not a weakness, but actually a form of self-care. I'm Marianne Rafferty, Fox News. A viral social media joke brought hundreds of people out to Chicago's Millennium Park over the weekend. All right, look at this. Why would you do that? They're from Chicago. It was a wild attempt to push the bean. Seven inches to the left. Started with an online flyer asking people to meet at the sculpture on Sunday and push it to the left. The flyers stated the reason was a running internet joke. There's a man trapped inside the bean. So over the weekend, about 250 people, geniuses, did that. But they didn't push it. We're back after this. Well, both the president and his top diplomat are playing down chances of renewed attacks against Iran. The Iranians, however, are not making things easy for the administration. Like, as far as I know, Fox's Lucas Tomlinson has the story from the White House tonight. With American fighter jets in the area, and minutes after War Secretary Pete Hegseth finished his remarks at the Pentagon, Iran attacked another ship in the Strait of Hormuz, according to British authorities. It's the eighth attack this month, and adds to the two dozen ships struck last month, the largest monthly total of the war, according to U.S. Central Command. Meanwhile, Iranian oil has sat pier-side since July, when President Trump ordered the blockade reinstated. They're bleeding. They're bleeding economically. Secretary of State Marco Rubio in Paris for the G7 says a return to combat is not necessary for now. The pressure and the devastation. That our economic campaign is having on the Iranian regime is working so well that the president really doesn't have any need to conduct major combat operations. While the president seeks a diplomatic end to the war, a senior Iranian official says talks with the U.S. are imaginary. Tonight, a U.S. official says a new threat by Iran forced the U.S. Air Force to scramble KC-135 refueling planes from RAF Mildenhall in the U.K. It's the second time since September the Air Force has scrambled aircraft after B-1 bombers left another base in Britain. Vice President J.D. Vance says the Iran war was a major reason why the Republicans lost in the midterms. Do you agree? I agree. I respect the vice president greatly, and I'm certainly not going to exchange any finger pointing. I agree with what the president said when he said, hey, if I had to do this all over again, would we do it again? Absolutely. Central Command says a record amount of oil transited the Strait of Hormuz yesterday. Today, the national average for the price of a gallon of gasoline dipped below $4 for the first time since July. At the White House, Lucas Tomlinson, Fox News.
