Criminal investigation is moving forward. Meantime, the man who held the lease on that property is lashing out at claims that he allowed the residents or the warehouse to become an illegal residence and a fire trap. Heres the end of his emotional interview this morning on nbc. Id rather get on the floor and be trampled by the parents. Id rather let them tear my flesh than answer these ridiculous questions. Mr. I am sorry. Im incredibly sorry. What do you want me to say . Im not going to answer these questions. We will call this im just going to say that i am sorry. Then well end the interview. You have to hold my soul accountable. If you have to hold my soul accountable for believing in something. Our Stephanie Elam is there with the latest and, steph, youve been there obviously throughout the weekend reporting on this tragedy as the number of dead has grown and grown and grown. How far have they made it through the building at this point in time to try to recover everyone . Reporter right. Tragic story as the storys been unfolding here, poppy. We know that 36 people have been found. They now made their way through 70 of the building. They dont expect a huge number more of deceased to be found, but theyre not ruling out that they may still find some more people there. Then we also know that of the 36 people that have died, 32 of them have been positively or tentatively identified. So he this are working to notify the families in that regard as well, poppy. And, stephanie, what do we expect they might tell us at this press conference . Reporter what theyve been doing is theyve been updating us on these efforts to update the family. Also if they found more remains overnight, the progress that theyre making overnight, what theyve encountered. They brought in a crane they needed to gain access to the space and so they may update us further about any other difficulties or unsafety or safety concerns that may be inside there as well. So thats what were awaiting to hear. And they are beginning. Lets listen in. Im one of the Public Information officers for the Oakland Police department. We would like to provide you with an operational update. At this time i would like to turn it over to al will l aleme deputy modeste. Im one of the Public Information officers for alameda county. There has been no change overnight in the total number of victims located and recovered. The numbers have shifted within the 36 within the 36. At this time we have 26 families that have been notified. We have 9 tentative i. D. S and we still have one doe remaining that needs to be identified. Please allow me to introduce fire chief lipp. Good morning. So as you recall, yesterday we were forced to suspend recovery operations interior due to the instability of the structure. Working throughout the day yesterday and last night we were able to remove the parapit wall that was presenting the greatest danger and then we were also able to put in some shoring to stabilize some of the flooring areas. This morning at 2 20 we went back in and resumed recovery operations. At this time weve been able to search through the building and clear approximately 85 of the building right now. Well be continuing that throughout the day. Theres one corner that remains unstable and then thats another thing that were going to be doing throughout the day today, stabilizing that corner so that we can search that last question. Id like to update our citizens and our community regarding the pg e planned power outage. Currently the power is still off in this specific area. They are anticipating that the power will be returned by maybe 8 00 a. M. , but right now safety is paramount so the power will remain off while the crane and heavy equipment is here still processing the scene. I would also like to call in my partner, Public Information officer marco markez. Wed like to to provide some information to our community. We have a lot of very goodwilled citizens, community members, people outside of the city of oakland, outside of the state, even outside of the country who want to donate, and deservingly so donate. We are logistically it is challenging for us to take donations here so we have a system set up and we have information we would like to share for anyone who would like to donate. So please allow him to provide that information. Good morning, everyone. My name is marco marquez. One of the oak land Police DepartmentPublic Information officers. And the information i have to share with you is there is a web page set up on youcaring. Com and if you go on the search bar there and search oakland fire or victims of the oakland fire, you will see a link that is connected there that is set up by the city as well as the red cross. Now here at the site we are experiencing overwhelming amount of support. People coming in bringing food and asking how can they donate financially. And it is overwhelming here, and so it is set up online to where you can make those donations. Whether youre here or if youre across the nation or even international. As we all know the magnitude of the impact here on the families as well as our community and one way were asking those who want to give back is to give back through this website. It goes a long way. The funds will be appropriately distributed, and if you visit that site you can see how, but this is just an ask to the community. If you do feel we know youre praying. We know that your thoughts are with us, but if you feel like giving financially, please visit the website. Again, that is youcaring. Com and search up victims of the oakland fire. Thank you. Thank you, officer marquez. At this time im going to open up for questions. Im going to start on the right and work our way around. Theres still about 15 of the building to search. Can you talk about what the challenges are . Are there some specific challenges about that 15 remaining to search thats kind of holding that part up . Sure. Its primarily that bc corner. So as you face the corner, that left corner of the building, were not able to totally secure that yet. Were going to be putting in some bracing, exterior bracing today and then that will finalize that corner and then theres a very small section thats in the back that still needs to be processed with atf and our crews. Will the rain affect anything . You know, i havent really approached that with rain and tarps as of yet. The rain shouldnt adversely impact what were doing. Do you anticipate the number of [ inaudible ]. Based on the areas that remain unsearched, i dont anticipate it going up. Theres one section thats still in an area that has some potential but otherwise, no. On the website you mention mentioned [ inaudible ]. Yes, sir, that is correct. There also is an oakland as one that is set up as well that is next to it. Youll see. Those two are set up for this specific incident. Thank you. [ inaudible ]. Yeah. So the issue with that corner is its unsupported laterally as you move across so that load then gets shift along that left wall, what were calling the bravo wall. If we remove the parapit there then that can cause that wall to be unstable. We need to put bracing in to support that area. If we remove the parapit wall that raises the possibility that the b side wall can become unstable and we dont want to do that. [ inaudible ]. Update from officials there in oakland. Some of the main headlines here. No update on the number of casualties at this point in time. So 36 people who have perished in this tragic fire, but they are not completely through the building. They said theres still a corner area of this warehouse that they need to search. About 70 has been searched. They fear they could come back to more victims. Lets go back to Stephanie Elam live in oakland. Stephanie, what else stood out to you . Reporter i think whats interesting here is every time we have heard from a press conference theyve said the number of people who have lost their lives have gone up. Theyre saying they did not find anymore bodies throughout the night. Now that theyve made their way 85 through, theyre feeling theyre getting to the end of the recovery efforts. Taking their time methodically to go through that. Last we heard there were three people that they were not able to identify. Theyre now saying they have one person theyre not able to identify. Making some progress there as well. This one corner that is unstable is part of what has been slowing them down for the last couple of days on making their way through the building. Thats what we heard a lot about. This one corner that they dont want to make their way into because it could fall or could collapse. So thats why theyre taking their time but really learning more now about the fact that they have 26 of these people theyve been able to identify, nine as well. Between those numbers together youve got positively identifying and tentatively identifying. Theyre making their way through the 36. Theyre letting family members know theyre able to identify them. Absolutely heartbreaking. Stephanie, thank you so much. Live for us in oakland. Meantime also in california, los angeles this morning on high alert after a Terror Threat on the subway system there. The fbi confirming it did receive an overseas tip about a possible bombing at the Universal City stop that is right near universal studios. Officials calling the threat, quote, specific and imminent. Law enforcement ramping up security as they search for possible explosives. The mayor of los angeles, in the meantime, says he will ride that line, the red line today, in an effort to show that it is safe. We will continue, of course, to follow this story out of los angeles this morning as we learn more. Meantime president elect donald trump back on the road. Today he travels to North Carolina for the second leg of his thank you tour but first it is all about business. A busy day of meetings as trump weighs potential cabinet picks. Exxon ceo tiller son, Henry Kissinger and Laura Ingraham all on todays schedule to meet with the president elect. All of this as Michael Flynn continues to face a lot of heat. Lets bring in Jessica Snyder live for us outside of trump tower. Good morning. What is the elevator watch tell us . Reporter yeah, good morning, poppy. Another adrenalinefueled day for the president elect. The way donald trump likes it. Were expecting a number of meetings and then of course its onto the second stop in his thank you tour this time in fayetteville, North Carolina. This happens at 7 00. Before he hops on the plane, he will be meeting with an array of people who are drawing a lot of intrigue. Exxon ceo rex tillerson. It turns out that sources are telling us hes being potentially considered on that growing list of secretary of state names. Of course, sources say that it is a long shot but that donald trump is very intrigued by tillersons world view. Other notable names that will be at trump tower, d. C. Mayor Muriel Bowser as well as former secretary of state, Henry Kissinger, who just got back into the United States where he met with president xi. Laura ingraham has been floated out there for the possibility of press secretary. She talked about it this morning. Weve been friends for a long time and im looking forward to having a conversation. Theres no agenda. There really is no agenda. I think obviously my name has been bandied about for press secretary. A lot of considerations. But i talked to someone over the weekend who you all would know and i said, if this opportunity presented itself, and he said, sometimes its really good to change up your life a little bit. Give it a little jolt. Give it a couple of paddles on the side. Change things up a little bit. Sometimes if your country calls you, god opens that door, you have to really seriously consider it. Reporter so it is down to business here at trump tower with all of those meetings. Donald trump did get out on the town tonight making another stop to his favored 21 club in mid town manhattan. Its a new york institution. A former speak easy. Thats where donald trump was a few weeks ago when he dished the press pool and went there. You can see some of the pictures when donald trump walked into the restaurant. Some of the people there cheering for him. He did dine at the restaurant with his wife melania as well as his three eldest children. Donald jr. , ivanka and eric trump. So a little bit of fun before getting back down to business today. Then of course later tonight hitting the road for one of those rallies that his top advisor Kellyanne Conway called the oxygen for the president elect. Poppy . There you go. We saw him during the campaign and they continue in this period and perhaps into his presidency. Thank you, jessica. We appreciate it. Coming up, donald trump might be in talks with future appointees, but its one that he has already made. A decision hes already made about this man, general Michael Flynn, that is taking a lot of heat. Why dozens of activist groups have penned a letter saying flynn must go. Energy is a complex challenge. People want power. And power plants account for more than a third of energyrelated carbon emissions. The challenge is to capture the emissions before theyre released into the atmosphere. Exxonmobil is a leader in carbon capture. Our team is working to make this technology better, more affordable so it can reduce emissions around the world. Thats what were working on right now. Energy lives here. Alzheimers disease the fi is out there. Survive and the Alzheimers Association is going to make it happen by funding scientific breakthroughs, advancing public policy, and providing local support to those living with the disease and their caregivers. But we wont get there without you. Visit alz. Org to join the fight. President elect donald trump now facing increased pressure to rescind his offer to retired general Michael Flynn as his National Security advisor pick. More than 50 progressive organizations signing a letter arguing that flynn is, quote, unfit for the job. Among their concerns comments made by flynn that, quote, fear of muslims is rational and also concerns about his ties to foreign governments when he was advising. They write, his appointment will damage americas standing in the world and pose a threat to our National Security. It is really important to point out flynns position doesnt need senate confirmation. So this is pretty much a done deal. Lets discuss. Lynn sweet is a Washington Bureau chief. Errol lewis is here and heidi pryzbala. Welcome to you all. Lets first look at the Major Concerns are about things that hes tweeted and a lot of it about also not just the comments about muslims but about fake news. This is a tweet that he put out there in november but has left up, quote, you decide nypd blows whistle on new hillary emails, money laundering, sex crimes with children, et cetera, a must read. Now heres the issue. Theres no basis in fact for that, but weve just seen this week the real life impact that fake news can have when a man armed with an Assault Rifle went into the d. C. Pizzeria, fired shots because of a fake news story tying Hillary Clinton to a Conspiracy Theory that he wanted to, according to his own words, investigate for himself. Lynn, to you. You wrote in your column today that the Oxford Dictionarys word of 2016 is posttruth. This is a serious problem. How should flynn be addressing this . Well, i dont know because youre dealing with somebody in a new world here, somebody, a prominent public official going into a Public Administration who wants to push false news stories. This is somebody who comes out of the world of intelligence. He is somebody who has vast responsibilities to advise the administration on what is true and what is not in the world. Now you mentioned a moment ago that groups complained about him. Well, those are all Democratic Allied groups, poppy, so i dont think theyll have any sway at all on the situation. But i think, you know, errol, to you, when you look at the bigger concerns over fake news, those arent just among democrats. I would argue there are many conservatives that are concerned about things like that, especially seeing what played out in dc as a result of a fake news story. Well, sure. But lets be clear. The problem goes all the way to the top. Were talking about a president elect who launched his public career based on the lie of birtherism which he has never renounced. He did come out, as you know, near the end of the campaign. Said two sentences, the president was born here. Rather than make excuses for him, lets be clear. He spent years telling a lie over and over again that he has never renounced. Thats at the beginning of the campaign. At the end of the campaign he makes a claim about millions of false votes or sort of stolen votes and hes never renounced or clarified that either. So you cant really fault general flynn for doing what his boss, his future boss, has been doing to Great Success for a number of years now. And i think this letter as partisan as it is, lynn is correct, it wont hold a lot of political weight, this is not Something Congress has to approve, but i think it will at least signal to general flynn that he is being watched and that his performance has to really step up quite a bit from these kind of tweets that hes been putting out. There has also been, heidi, a lot of concern about his son in terms of what he has tweeted in the past. Very controversial things. But including what he just tweeted on sunday night. Lets read that because this is about the pizza gate issue, the fake news story that led that person with a gun into the restaurant. Until pizza gate is proven to be false. It will remain a story. Theyve forgotten poe des stay emails and the coincidences. This is his chief of staff and working for and employed by the trump transition team. You ask yourself, how can he possibly get away with tweeting this, and then standing by it and digging in. And i think this is basically at this point magnifying what is a really broader systemic problem of accountability here in washington. Now you talked about both parties being concerned about fake news. Thats probably true. The autopsies show that the overwhelming majority of the fake news structure is targeted at democrats. So that is why when you see leaders like paul ryan who are asked, for example, about donald trump himself tweeting out fake news about millions of illegal voters, which is completely unproven, and he does not push back, instead he says, well, he won so lets move on, that is where you see that you have a real problem that we are not in were in a we are in a post truth world if folks like paul ryan wont set the facts straight. Going back to 2008, for example, john mccain had a moment, the no man moment, where he was asked whether or he was a voter stated that the president is muslim and he said, no, maam. Were not seeing Republican Leaders step up like that on these issues. Thats a very interesting comparison. I remember that moment vividly. Before i let you guys go. A brand new tweet from donald trump this morning. Boeing is building a brand new 747 air force one for future president s but costs are out of control 4 billion. Cancel order. This is fascinating but errol, this is him talking about government waste and of course any president elect should be talking about what they deem to be government waste. Hes doing it in a unique way through twitter and he is taking on this company head on, not calling the ceo saying can we negotiate. His transition advisory team. It is just there are so many layers to this that fascinate me. Lynn, go ahead. The ceo is on his transition advisory team. He has total access to him. Right. So why put it out there like that, errol . This is what he did with carrier, too. He saved those jobs. You know, sooner or later this is going to end up in court, this kind of behavior if it continues, because there are procurement rules, there are things that you are and are not supposed to do to try to influence the outcome of a bid like this. Frankly, id start with the number that hes putting out there. That 4 billion claim sounds wildly out of whack compared with the actual cost of a plane, which apparently is from what i can tell from the aircraft website 370 million. Youve got to have two planes. Look at you doing your research on the fly. Then you add security enhancements and so forth. The expected life of 30 years. Frankly, it may not be that much. You know, its expensive to protect the most powerful man in the world. Quick thought, heidi. This is all about branding. Were continuing to see the president kind of brand himself as the populist just like he did with carrier even though the effects may be minimal, hes getting if you look at the polls, hes getting a lot of credit from the public by highlighting these things. Its fair to point out that this is something president obama didnt do, for example, with the bailout which was worth so much more in terms of jobs. Good point. Lynn, heidi, errol, nice to have you on. Thank you so much. Im sure the ceo of boeing and donald trump are probably talking right now. Quick note, Vice President elect mike pence will be live on the lead 4 00 p. M. With jake tapper. Donald trump doubling down on threat to u. S. Companies. Some gop leaders not buying in. Mr. Trump revowing on twitter that he will impose a 35 tariff on companies who move jobs overseas. Top republicans this morning raising major red flags. Cnns alisyn kosik is with me. We have a History Lesson here. The last time this was done in the 1930s it was disastrous for the economy. There is historical precedent. This is a very different situation but there are deep seeded concerns about, you know, if donald trump goes ahead and goes ahead and taxes these companies 35 for goods that they bring into the u. S. And a way to punish them for sending jobs overseas. There are a lot of concerns. For one, it would make goods here in the u. S. More expensive. It could hurt companies. It could ultimately cause a trade war and i think thats part of the reason why youre seeing a lot of the top gop leaders really not stand behind trump with this. Theyre coming out with very strong statements. One from House Speaker paul ryan saying this, i think we can get at the goal here, which is to keep american businesses american. Build things in america and sell them overseas. That can be properly addressed with comprehensive tax reform and yet another statement from House Majority leader Kevin Mccarthy saying i dont want to get into some type of trade war. I dont think government should be picking winners and losers. The idea here is lets think of Something Else to incentivize companies to keep jobs here, to stay here. The only way to do that, they say, is to redo the tax code. Which hasnt been done in a long, long, long time. Before i let you go, the market. The wild card is how would the market react if, indeed, these tariffs were instituted. He could find creative ways to do in the short term. He could. Youre not going to see the market react. Youre seeing the market open at a record high. 19th of the year. Youre seeing the market really react to a Trump Presidency for what the hope is that he can bring. Youre seeing low taxes, less regulation, you know, this pro growth theme that trump has ushered in. Everybody thought the market was going to tank when he came into office but if he was elected but were not seeing that. Were seeing this run up for stocks. Hes being handed a pretty remarkable economy. He is starting off on a strong foot. Thank you very much. Appreciate it. Up next, Donald Trumps thank you tour heads tonight to North Carolina.

Today prosecutors say the fight for justice is far from over after the murder trial of officer Michael Slager ends with a hung jury. Slager is a former Police Officer seen in the video, the cell phone camera video shooting walter scott in the back after he ran away. The shooting was captured by a witness on their cell phone back in 2015 when it happened. Now scotts family says theyre looking ahead to their next chance in court. Our nick valencia is live from charleston, South Carolina. Not the outcome i think that either side was expecting. No. Good morning, poppy. This lack of a decision, if you will, has caught a lot of people in this community off guard. More than five weeks of a trial, days of deliberation. It was monday nick, lets listen to the president elect donald trump just came out of the elevators to address the press. Everything fine . Got some great people coming in today. Youll see them. Mr. Trump, what are you talking about with mayor bowser from washington, d. C. , today . Were going to talk about a lot of things to a lot of people. We have a great group of people. Doing very well. Thank you all very much. You tweeted this morning canceling the contract for the new air force one. The plane is totally out of control. Its going to be over 4 billion for air force one program and i think its ridiculous. I think boeing is doing a little bit of a number. We want boeing to make a lot of money, but not that much money. Okay. Thank you. Well, that was fascinating. The president elect who is yet to hold a press conference coming out of the golden elevators addressing the press. Hes having meeting with henry kissing kissinger, Laura Ingraham, also meeting with Muriel Bowser from washington, d. C. He would not get into specifics about what they will speak about, but he was asked by a reporter about boeing and the tweet he just put out this morning saying the 4 billion cost for the next air force one is ridiculous, out of control, we should cancel the order. He said that the costs are totally out of control. He just said its ridiculous and he thinks that boeing is doing, quote, a little number. Seeming to mean on the american taxpayers. Well see where those conversations go from here. I believe we can get back to nick valencia. Is that right . Back to nick in South Carolina. Nick, lets begin again. Obviously it was a hung jury in the case of officer slager. Not, frankly, an outcome that either side was expecting. Reporter well, there was an indication there could be a mistrial on friday, but even still, this mistrial has caught a lot of people here off guard. It was five weeks of a trial, days of deliberation. Jurors on monday afternoon handing a note over to the judge saying that they regretted to inform the court they could not come to a unanimous decision. This was supposed to be a slam dunk for the state. It was anything but. We are unable to come to a unanimous decision. Reporter a mistrial in the case of Michael Slager. Video of the incident sparking outrage nationwide. Former patrolman slager charged with murder of 50yearold walter scott after firing eight gunshots as he ran away from him during a traffic stop last april. God is my strength and i know without a doubt that he is a just god. Injustice will not prevail. Reporter the South Carolina prosecutor vowing to immediately retry the case. Scott family attorneys confident theyll get a conviction. We dont need to scream or shout because we know that its coming. Its just been delayed. Reporter the jury deadlocked friday by one holdout who told the judge he could not in good conscience convince slager of murder. I cannot and will not change my mind. Reporter by monday a majority of the 11 white and 1 black juror were undecided. The shooting caught on video by a bystander, a key piece of evidence in the case slager shot scott repeatedly from approximately 18 feet away. On the stand slager argued selfdefense telling jurors the video doesnt show the full confrontation. He saw scott as a threat. It was total fear that mr. Scott didnt stop, continued to come towards me. Reporter scotts family hoping a conviction could help heal the wounds. In my heart, i will find the peace to forgive Michael Slager for doing that until my family can see justice, no, theres no forgiveness. Reporter scotts family attorney went on to say that this was a missed opportunity, a missed opportunity to heal some very deep wounds in the black Community Related to a series of Police Shootings throughout the country. 11 of the jurors were white, only one was black. The scott family chose not to focus on that during a press conference having a much more uplifting phone saying that they are convinced during the retrial they will get the conviction that they want. Poppy . Nick, do we know how many jurors were holdouts as of yesterday . On friday there was this one holdout juror and the rest were ready to convict. Did that change over the weekend . Reporter on friday we heard about this lone juror who said under good conscience morally he could not convict the former Police Officer with first degree murder. However, on monday morning the courtroom started with a series of questions being read outloud by judge clifton newman. He said a majority of the jurors were still undecided as of monday morning. How the jury voted, however, still has not been made public. Poppy. Nick valencia live in charleston. Thank you very much. Attorney Chris Stewart is with us live from atlanta. He represents the family of walter scott. Thank you very much for being with us. Hey, how are you, poppy . Im well, thank you. Take us into the minds of the scott family. Ive been listening to you speaking since this hung jury was announced. You sound very upbeat. Youre optimistic about a second trial and winning your case. How does the family feel . Well, the family is what made me upbeat. When the decision came out, im kind of a fiery person and can get upset. Mama scott reached forward and put her hand on my shoulder and said, gods got this. And that just calmed me down and calmed everybody down. She has been leading this entire thing. We just follow her lead, and you can see how shes handling it. As you heard nick valencia reporting, the jury on friday we know had this one holdout juror. By monday, according to the judge, it was a majority of the jurors that were undecided. What do you read into that . Do you believe that . And what does that mean for a second trial if this case is brought again, which i know is the intention . No, i think that jury well, the 11 members of the jury were just being extremely smart. What they heard on friday from the judge was that if it continued to be deadlocked, then it was over. So they came back, they wanted to come back to try to convince this lone juror to change his mind and they started off that morning by saying that they were undecided because they knew if they came back and said they were deadlocked, it was over. I think those 11 people really wanted to try and change his mind but he just refused to do so. The state had to prove what is called malace aforethought. The jurors came back and asked clarification on terminology on things like that, malace aforethought and also heat of passion. Does that show to you that thats an indication that the jury was considering both the murder and the manslaughter charge . Because they were offered both. All the way up to the end . Definitely. You know, im sure some of the jurors are going to be talking soon, but they were clearly thinking about murder. For all we know, it might have been 111 for murder but the guy who held out, as you heard nick say, you cannot do that. You cannot hold up a jury for moral reasons. You have to follow the law. You have to follow the judges instructions. And Michael Slager was guilty. So when you look at what is next, the prosecutor scarlet wilson said yesterday we will try Michael Slager again. Given this mistrial, do you believe that the prosecution, the state arguing this case, should try it differently a Second Time Around . I think miss wilson did a phenomenal job. I think the judge was phenomenal. You know, sometimes, and ive tried a lot of cases with a jury, sometimes you have a person that can just not listen to whats going on or the evidence, they make a decision based on their personal feelings and hold a verdict back. I mean, it happens. Thats why were upbeat. People are saying we would never get a verdict because there were so many white people on the jury. Well, you see that only one person stopped the jury. Doesnt matter what color you are. People saw what happened. All right. Obviously there is also the federal civil rights case that begins in january. A lot to get to. Well continue to follow this. Chris stewart, thank you for joining us this morning. Thank you. Still to come, as protesters prepare for a white supremacist to speak at a major american university, the man behind that event who brought him there to speak defends the movement.

A political activist who lives in texas says he doesnt agree with all of spencers views but he certainly does some of them. Do you think this is a white nation . I think it was at one time. I think the reaction of trump being elected and the reaction being with the alt right being popular is the reaction. Reporter he is sympathetic to the point of view of the socalled alt right, a relatively new term for what in the past were called white supremists. Why would i want to see america become less white . Only people with a Mental Illness want to be displaced. Reporter heres the thing, you and people like you have a hangup about the color of peoples skin. Ways the difference what people skin is .
