There was a number of people in a motorcade, several families traveling to another community and not very far out, their family come under attack and there was a number of vehicles, three of them in particular, that were shot and one of them was set fire. My understanding is that there was some children that was able to escape out of the vehicles unharmed.

President trump in ruby red kentucky overnight, spurring on his supporters the white house strategy, stonewall subpoenas, with at least four administration officials, including Energy Secretary rick perry, expected to be noshows on capitol hill this week. House democrats leading the impeachment inquiry unmoved. We are not going to delay our work that would merely allow these witnesses and the white house to succeed with their goal, which is to delay, deny, obstruct. Reporter the investigation into why the president held up military aid to ukraine while pushing for political help now inching into a new more public phase with the release of two key Interview Transcripts expected today two others shared monday in one, the ousted u. S. Ambassador to ukraine said she believed she was the target of a Smear Campaign by the president s allies, felt threatened by the president s comments about her, and was told by another u. S.

C. , even brought up as the president brought in baseballs world champions, embracing the Washington Nationals with a nod to the topic top of mind for him. America fell in love with the nats baseball. They just fell in love with nats baseball thats all they wanted to talk about, that and impeachment. I like nats baseball much more reporter looking ahead to what else is on the docket, former National Security adviser john bolton has been asked to talk to house investigators after he raised his own concerns about how ukraine was being dealt with that testimony could be explosive but at this point we do not expect bolton to show up, at least not right now thank you very much with the impeachment as the backdrop, we are exactly one year out from election day in the 2020 president ial race the president s Campaign Strategy on full display last night in kentucky, play to the base and rip democrats over impeachment. The democrats outrageous conduct has created an angry majority that will vote the donothing democrats the hell out of office soon and a new poll in the talk of the political world this morning, it shows headtohead matchups between President Trump and three democratic frontrunners in key battleground states. The president keeping it competitive, thats the bottom line here to break it down, nbcs Political Correspondent steve kornacki, and Claire Mccaskill nice to see you both lets talk about the poll numbers. Joe biden does the best against trump, thats the upshot, when you look at these six battleground states, followed by sanders. When you look at warren, she struggled and in only one of these battleground states does she prevail in this headtohead matchup. Why are the battleground states so important if democrats are going to win back the presidency, they probably need to win three of these. Youve got biden leading in four of them, sanders in three, warren in one. The big difference between them right there is White Working Class voters the Common Thread between the six states, they have an abundance of White Working Class voters, especially in the rust belt states, pennsylvania, michigan, wisconsin that we have talked so much about simply put, in that polling right now, biden is doing better with White Working Class voters particularly than elizabeth warren. Youre our polling guru, a lot of people feel like they have been seeing these polls, they see Approval Ratings of donald trump they see National Polls that show him behind many of these frontrunners, and then you get these battleground polls that tell a much different story. Why does it matter 2016 i think was a similar story. Everybody was looking at the National Polls, and trump never led the National Polls one reason there was so much confidence Hillary Clinton was going to win, if you looked at pennsylvania, wisconsin, michigan, you saw Something Different but nationally it was telling a different story. Let me turn to senator mccaskill whos listening to this as a former democratic senator. Is this a wakeup call for democrats . Do you think theres been some overconfidence here . Absolutely. I think that Everyone Needs to remember that the way we win the presidency is not a National Poll it is state by state by state. And the voters who voted for barack obama and donald trump, thats who they should be focused on those crossover voters and theyre in abundance in these states and they have not made up their mind yet they are a little worried about the extreme positions taken by the primary candidates. Thats what i was going to ask you. Your background is a moderate. You won in a red state in missouri, but the kind of battle for the heart and soul thats happening in the primary has to do with progressive candidates versus more centrist candidates or moderate candidates what does that poll have to say on that issue . It says that we have got to remember that theres nothing evil about the middle of america, geographically or in terms of ideology, and weve got to focus on the practical things that matter to peoples families they are not as worried about whether or not theyre going to have a medicare for all, as they are whether or not they can afford their medicine. I think these candidates and frankly were a little distracted by the impeachment. These candidates need to get back to the Kitchen Table issues for American Families and reassure them that they can make change happen. Not just pie in the sky ideas that are unrealistic, but stuff that can get across the finish line. Lets talk about one thing that comes clear in this poll that were talking about, steve, which is in 2018, trump voters who voted democrat in the midterm tell these pollsters, were sticking with trump for 2020 a lot of democrats felt pretty confident because of 2018s rushed in a tide of democrats in the house, but those folks are saying were still with trump. Twothirds of them say they are ready to vote for donald trump again even after going for democrats in the congressional elections. This is one of the great mysteries, we saw it with barack obama, terrible midterm, the voters came back in 2012 we saw it with clinton, terrible midterm, the voters came back. This is a warning sign for democrats, the same thing could be preparing to happen with donald trump were just getting started, the starting gun, one year out, thank you so much, steve kornacki, senator mccaskill, appreciate it. Were going to have much more in our next half hour including an interesting conversation with voters who supported the president in 2016. How they feel about his time in office, the impeachment investigation and the race this time around. Hoda, over to you. Craig joins the table, overnight details in a story that was a close call. To say the least. The fbi has stopped a plot to blow up a synagogue in colorado, arresting a 27yearold man they say is a white supremacist as he tried to put his plan into motion nbc National Correspondent Miguel Almaguer has the latest on this. Miguel, good morning to you. Reporter craig, good morning, investigators say the suspect who lives in colorado used to be a member of the kkk and describes himself as a skin head his plans say federal agents was to blow up a synagogue but he never knew he was communicating with undercover agents all along. Federal agents say this was 27yearold richard holzers target the temple emmanuel, a small synagogue in pueblo, colorado. The alleged white supremacist arrested after a sting operation when he was given what he thought were real bombs. The fbi says holzer told undercover investigators he was planning to blow up the s synagogue with dynamite and pipe bombs. He indicated he wanted to let jewish people know they were not welcome. Reporter the fbi says they covertly contacted holzer in late september through facebook where he spewed hate writing i wish the holocaust really did happen, they need to die he referred to his planned attack on Temple Emanuel as my mountain and to jews in the synagogue as a cancer to the community. Im ready to start crying, and i probably will. This is the most horrible thing i could imagine. Reporter before meeting with undercover agents, the fbi says holzer sent a video of himself walking the exterior of the synagogue. Over the phone, investigators say he wanted to demolish the building, adding phase three would be outside of pueblo and bigger and better. You feel like youre a target, youre susceptible if someone hates enough, theyre going to find a way to be provocative. Reporter with holzer taken into custody friday, the fbi told Congress Last week, acts of domestic terrorism like the attacks in pittsburgh and poway, mostly come at the hands of white supremacists. He could have come on sunday, and just blown up dreams of entire families. Reporter this morning, tragedy averted, amid what federal agents call the face of hatred the fbi says holzer wanted to bomb the synagogue overnight when nobody was inside hell be back in federal court on thursday.

Morgan radford sat down with a group of diverse supporters who all backed the president in 2016, to find out where they stand now. Morgan joins us now. Good morning reporter thats right, when it comes to impeachment, a lot of democrats are citing polls that show support for the president s removal has grown. If you ask the people who voted for the president , especially in states that are key to winning in 2020, a very different picture emerges. Mr. Trumps base says the impeachment inquiry is making them Even Stronger as a voting bloc and they support him now more than ever its one year until the election, and the president is counting on his base now more than ever. The democrats outrageous conduct has created an angry majority that will vote the do nothing democrats the hell out of office soon. Reporter new polls show 49 of americans say the president should be impeached and removed from office, up 6 in the last month. But that same poll shows that 9 in 10 republicans oppose his removal. Here in the battleground state of florida, its these voters the president will need to keep him in the white house show of hands, how many of you voted for the president back in 2016 and how many of you plan to vote for him again in 2020 . All of you youre raising both hands. These are members of club 45, the largest Grass Roots Club of Trump Supporters in the country. Would you say your support for the president now is more or less than when you first voted for him. More. A lot more reporter and has the impeachment inquiry changed anything what inquiry . Its galvanized our support reporter so you support him more now. Gallop polls show an average of 86 of republicans have supported the president throughout his time in office. A number that never dropped below 79 . And even since House Democrats launched an impeachment investigation, the president s favorability has barely wavered. Reporter have you all ever felt this level of passion for another president. Oh, no. No. Reporter what is it that you like about the president as a jewish woman in america who previously voted liberal, he has just astounded me in every way. I mean, we have been waiting 15 years for the embassy to be changed to jerusalem and i think that that shows that hes not afraid to make the right choice. Reporter President Trump is the first time you have voted for a republican. Yes. Reporter and what about you. He made a statement at a conference one time to black america. What the hell do you have to lose and that stood out to me. Unemployment for black america is way down. And insurance cost is reasonable, and hes done all his promises to me reporter so you feel like your life has gotten better since the election. Oh, definitely. Reporter when it comes to the impeachment inquiry, does that affect your perception of the president . No, it doesnt, and i think that the democrats are going to find Anything Possible to impeach the president. Reporter here in the president s backyard of palm beach where he just declared his florida residency, some voters say an attack on the president is an attack on them he believes in the family unit, which i think the Democrats Party wants to destroy. They always accuse us of racism, being homophobic and its the furthest thing from the truth. Reporter so you think the president has done anything that would warrant that label i dont see it. Reporter support the president hopes to ride to victory one more time. He has been fighting for us this whole time. Were going to fight for him theyre sticking with the president. What are the issues theyre concerned about . Several of the people we spoke to said they feel like President Trump has made the court system friendlier to evangelical christians, others as you saw cited support for israel but every Single Person we spoke to said they like the man. They appreciated that he was not a traditional politician and he spoke to them directly okay. Thank you, morgan lets switch gears, go over to mr. Roker, get a check of the weather.

So you can too. Talker. This morning, a new report released by the Pediatrics Organization with concerns concerning news about the effects of screen time and what its having on the Brain Development of young kids. Nbcs senior National Correspondent kate snow is here with more. Hey, kate, good morning. Good morning and apologies for my voice, but do we all have our phones right now yes, we do. So screen time for adults has exploded but also for our kids, and researchers are scrambling to figure out what impact its having this new study is the first to show that little kids watching youtube, cartoons, games on screens, may actually be reshaping their brains doctors at cincinnati Childrens Hospital studied screen use including phones, tablets and tvs and its impact on preschoolers ages 3 to 5 47 healthy kids underwent special mri scans to map their brains and sat for language and literacy tests their parents completed a survey on how much their child watches screens and the kind of contact they interact with the results on scans with kids who reported more screen time than one hour a day showed lower levels of development in the white matter in their brains thats the area that connects brain cells to the rest of the nervous system and is associated with how quickly nerve impulses fire, particularly in key parts of the brain where language, literacy, and cognitive skills develop. Kids with more screen time were also more likely to struggle with words and took longer naming objects in written tests. Its alarming news for parents of young kids like julie stam. Julies 3yearold son jack spends as much as two hours a day looking at screens, and hes not alone. American kids typically spend anywhere from two to four hours on screens each day. Its terrifying, everything that you do as a parent, and i think we worry about everything that we do for our children. The study doesnt prove the screens cause the brain changes, and the authors say more research is needed julie says shes responsible with monitoring jacks screen time, and doesnt consider giving him any less. Hopefully well find out its not as bad as they say. The researchers say, sorry, whats also unclear is whether screens are to blame for developmental changes or whether its were taking all this time away from other things, right, like interacting with parents or reading or doing things you could be doing when youre not watching a screen. Kate you may be excused. Sorry just a cold. Honey and lemon, you poor thing. The doctor is in the house. Weve got a doctor here dr. Torres, good morning. Good morning. This is really disturbing a lot of us have young kids, we let them watch some screen there is kind of a bright line rule for how much is okay and how much is really not okay . There are rules, the American Academy of pediatrics came out with standards for children. The main message is not that media devices, screen times are bad, its just they need to be used appropriately and one expert put it eloquently, its like automobiles, automobiles are not bad, but you dont want to give it to a 3 to 5yearold at all same thing here, you want to make sure they get the parental time lets go over the screen times that the American Academy of pediatrics say is important. Zero to 18 months should have no Digital Media except for video chatting with relatives. 18 to 24 months, high quality but that should be watched with the child. Whats high quality. Like sesame street and things like that, because they learn things if they learn the letter c, at dinner, you can go over c, name things that begin with c 2 to 5yearolds, one hour per day is the maximum they should have oh, boy. It should be with somebody watching it with them. Should be but not necessarily, and one thing you want to do is avoid fast paced violent programs get the media out of their rooms, thats a big thing, and dont use it to soothe the child. It should not be an electronic babysitter. Some people do at restaurants because you want an hour break if your kid has been watching too much of it, is there something you can do to unring the bell if your child has been watching a lot of media, the damage is done, and theres nothing you can do, its essentially, you can start getting them involved with different things, and here are the tips that can really help a lot, getting your childs brain developed and the things we know that help. Read together, its extremely important to sit down and read together theyre going to have tons of questions like kids always do. Youre there to answer the questions. Talk, sing, cuddle, things you love to do with your child, it helps with their Brain Development. Make sure they have unstructured play time, and we have all bought gifts with the kids, they play with the box and get frustrated let them play with the box its their imagination and physical activity, extremely important that they do things like that, because that helps not only develop their body. Get outside and play. Get off the tv and get outside. I see my 7yearold like this watching youtube its so close to her face. Is there any damage to like their eyeballs over time we think there might be some issue with that. Do the 20 20 rule, every 20 minutes, take a 20 second break and look away. Go ahead and stretch their eyes out a little bit, and if they are doing that, remind them, bring the screen away from them. They dont need it that close. In terms of Brain Development and what this study found, is there a difference between say watching tv, cartoons and whatever you might see on a screen or is it any screen any screen time interferes with parent time or time best of my memory themselves, but the other thing is that they found that violent, fastpaced action content was the one that seemed to cause the most issues thats the one theyre saying, especially young children, avoid that, watch with them, and make sure its the Quality Program were talking about. Makes sense thank you, kate go check in with the doctor. Mr. Roker. No gifting tom and jerry to any kids. Lets take a look and show you what weve got going on. Below average temperatures today. Jetstream dips to the south. Bismarck, marquette, chicago, 10 to 20 degrees below average. For tomorrow, weve got the cold air stretching from the plains all the way to the midwest, and then as we move into thursday, look at this, buffalo, 11 degrees below average, dallas 7 degrees cooler than usual, denver 38, 8 degrees cooler. This weekend weve got chilly air. Friday, 44 in new york city, warms up to 50 by sunday 62 by sunday, even st. Louis, 39 degrees, warming up to about 50 by saturday. Thats whats going on around good morning, im kari hall, a lot of sunshine in the south bay, but we have seen fog drifting across the peninsula. All of that clears out today, were going to warm it up, along the coast in San Francisco, staying in the upper 60s for our high, going into the next several days, the weather will stay on repeat. Dont forget if youre heading out the door, siriusxm, channel 108. The today radio channel on siriusxm how about pop start. Move over jennifer aniston, Matthew Mcconaughey is the newest celebrity to join instagram. He decided its time to join the photo sharing network. So far he has one post its a video, and its him revealing his slight jitters about joining social media this is my First Venture into sharing myself and my views with the world and im a little bit nervous about it because quite frankly, i know i want to have a monologue, im not sure i want to have the dialogue there you go. Appreciate the honesty. Michael treated followers to an Instagram Story which is really about mcconaughey as a it gets all right, instagram, lets do this lets get some howdying going. Howdy. Ill have what hes having. Thats like one of those lincoln ads. But a lot better. Im going to enjoy that. Next up, matt damon stopped by conan where they were talking about the bourn movieing and all the stunt work that went into them that led matt damon to share a story about something he had with tom cruise, how he was able to fall off the wire work on the outside of the tallest building of the year just two years ago he really wanted to talk about it he said i have been dreaming of this shot for fifteen years, this sequence, and finally i had a chance to do it. And how did it come to pass. Okay, so i go to the safety guy, i tell him this is what im going to do, im going to explain the whole gag to him the safety guy says you cant do that he goes, thats too dangerous. And im like, uhhuh, uhhuh and he goes, so i get another safety guy that is hilarious makes you wonder how many safety guys tom cruise had to go through to finally get the permission the one that said yes. Olympian shawn johnson, the expectant mother shared this photo on instagram showing off her olympic leotard, still sort of fits and now were happy to report shawn and her husband andrew east have welcomed a baby girl into the world, writing on instagram, you are our everything johnson has been very open about her pregnancy journey, revealing that she suffered a miscarriage, they havent revealed the name of the little girl but we could not be happier for them both and finally, seth myers has a new netflix special out today called lobby baby, if you havent heard the story about the title, dont worry you will. And you see seth venturing out from behind the late night desk and onto the stage which some may find jarring i know it might be a little weird to see me in this environment, most of you are probably used to me wearing a suit, sitting behind a desk. See me doing standup in casua clothes, it can be jarring to see someone out of context, like when a kid sees a mall santa getting into his ford festiva. It might be weird to even be seeing my legs right now like that time kermit rode a bike it was fun but you were like, are those weightbearing legs. And look whos here how are you no legs this morning. I know. I cant believe this is your first standup special yeah. Its insane. It was a delight to do it it was a good time to do it. Why now. Its about my family and kids and the ages they are now. It felt like, stuff im happy to talk about and get it now out forever. Then you have to explain lobby baby. For those of you who dont know the story. My wife gave birth to our second in the lobby of our Apartment Building and i always say to her, you gave me something even better than that son, you gave me ten minutes of content. Our first son was almost born in an uber, so yeah, we would definitely just get an apartment in a hospital if we had another one. No one in your family is apparently safe. Your wife, sisterinlaw, your dad. No, they all you know, thats the thing i try to pick up dinner when we all go out in return, i get to use them in the special. You dont do politics, your family, your wife is a former prosecutor, what does she have to say about it. Because my wife is a lawyer, shooengsd you have to present both sides, i try very hard to get her perspective into the special as well. You do cool things because a lot of late night comics are doing politics so there is Something Special that you have that you are not grooving on politics, theres a way to jump past that section. I had this idea and the engineers at netflix were kind enough to build a button where you can click skip politics, the way you would skip an intro. This is presented as something that if you actually do it, you will see something else, not to give too much away. I heard the skip politics button worked. It does work. The first line when you skip it. Just try it and see theres a button there. So when you first went to netflix with this, were they like, cant do this, did you have get a safety guy like tom cruise. Writers are these whimsical people that dont realize the work that has to go into the idea, and they said hey, this is harder to do than you think. And so then i recorded the special in a way to show them how it would work if they were kind enough to do it, and then they said, oh, we see what the joke is now. How much content do you skip. I think its about seven minutes. Like the closer looks, the deep dives, the politics, how much work goes into those . You know, you would have to ask the writers. I will say, they seem tired. There were two people, their sole job is painting out the brand on your pencils. Well, that was a while back no, no. Wait, what . I walked by and they were for real . This was years ago. Yesterday no, nobody is painting. They are. Seth, as god is my witness it was a yellow pencil, painting the brand off the pencil. This is a bummer because i had a deal with that pencil company. I made a promise to them. There were about three dozen pencils, and theyre like were painting seths pencils. By the way, if you got the news that you were getting a job in tv. Thats what you ended up with. Now when people ask you that question, when did you know you had made it, when they started branding pencils for me. When the brand name on my pencils was so valuable, they had to paint it out. Did you have to run, you talk about your special again, did you have to run the jokes by your wife . Yeah. Only my wife did your wife say that ones out, this is no good. You cant go there she never said anything was out. In fact, theres one joke in it that she said if there was one that you would take out, i would like it to be this one, and i said im going to keep it in, but i appreciate that you feel that way. You have been sleeping in the basement ever since. Youre like, your feedback is important. Very good. Thank you, seth, dont forget late night with seth myers, airs weeknights, 12 30, 11 30 central. Im doing the little watch fifth hour straight ahead, you guys, from hamilton, leslie odom jr. , hes going to tell us all about his role, his new album, and hes going to perform live right after this good morning to you.

Now its 26. Welcome aboard. Ocean skyride. Mini golf. Relax relax relax you take this man to be your husband . I do. Married. No time for basketball. Pool. Carnival. Choose fun. This morning on today food, we are thinking about thanksgiving, so with us all the way from floridas amelia island, chef gary gooch, the executive chef at the ritzcarlton resort, he oversees five restaurants, including a fantastic spot including salt, where they feature salt. Chef gary is here to whip up side dishes that go great with turkey these are dishes you could make on a random tuesday night. I want to start with salt, you have cool salts here walk me through. What we have here is a citrus salt that can be paired great with any kind of appetizer salad, light fish. Next you have a truffle, truffle parmesan salt, you know, perfect for fries or anything along that, and we have a black garlic salt and at the end a nice spicy ghost pepper salt. You want to be very little on that moderation is important on that one. How salty, i mean, how peppery. Its peppery. There you go. Just a little bit is perfect for it thats good youre right, that does have a little bite. You can use salt to really spruce up a dish. Give you a whole other flavor component profile to go along with it. That is, wow, youre right. Lets start with this. What we have here is something thats a staple, its a Butternut Squash soup that i love to do anytime it starts to get fall, get a Butternut Squash, cut in half, scoop it out with a spoon, ice cream scoop, get the seeds out, so you can get it in the oven, roast it and season it up. For cutting the squash, i find that to be very difficult. Big sharp knife sometimes i like to cut the bottom off, so it wont roll on you. Awesome what i like to do is take the butter, throw it in the middle thats a pro tip. As it starts to melt you get the nice component, sprinkle salt. Of course. Cinnamon. Just regular salt. This one i like to do regular salt, were not trying to pull from other flavors. Why do you put the butter in there . As it melts down, it absorbs in it. Because you can. Because you can, there you go its not a lot of butter, i try to keep it healthy there vanilla bean, a little bit of honey over the top of it. This is next level. Its going to absorb those flavors and makes it very flavorful. So we throw that in the oven at what temperature. I do about 350 until its about tender, 35, 40 minutes until you get it tender enough that you can be able to get your finished product here. So what i like to do is you get this juice, the butter and everything, how it stays in the middle make sure you throw that inside here, and get all the Butternut Squash inside. What were we simmering in this pot before the squash we have vidalia onions, granny smith apples that i peeled in. The crowd goes wild you get a nice little caramelization on it, you want it translucent, i like to deglaze with apple cider i know its time to make this when i go into the Grocery Store and see it on sale i make it three or four times a year at my house. Can you make this and freeze it i do, actually. I made it last week, and i make a big batch and kind of like, save it. Could you make it for us, and well freeze it. Ill get it right up here for you. Weve got about 90 seconds left. Vegetable stock, come over, add your cream, seasoning to taste. And you can swap out the cream. But dont make it the right away. Come on. B hit the button. Nice boom, and then there you are. And you present it in these nice little pumpkins, half pumpkins. I like to do it, its a fun way to spice up the different dish youre going to do. Seems like you roasted the pumpkin. I did. Take out the seeds, the same way you do the Butternut Squash. A little oil, butter. Quickly, you wrap with a beet sauce. I like to use red wine vinegar with the red beets, it helps intensify the flavor, and its also a little trick i like. You peel the beets and cut them, oil, thyme, vinegar. Once you go to the salad, youre just adding olive oil and have a dressing on top of there a nice little thin sliced beet careful of that mandolin. You want to be careful so you do it nice and thin, and overlap your beet. Why do you peel after its easier to appeal after once you cook it nice and tender use a paper towel, keeps your hands from staining. You have the finished product. Whats the verdict. Unbelievable. Thank you. Thank you so much appreciate it that was wonderful. Im going to try this beet salad now. If you want the full recipes, its today. Com food.
