2015. Weve got willie here this morning. Good to see everybody today. That video out of cleveland, lebron james all 68 250 of him diving into the front row falling into the wife of professional golfer jason day. She was taken to the hospital on a stretcher. Were told shes okay. Car son will have the full story. Didnt she just give birth abt a month ago . Well get to that but the first arrest in the San Bernardino terror attack. The neighbor and one of the friends of one of the shooters is facing a list of serious charges and were learning more about what police say was a dark history. Were following the story. Good morning. Reporter good morning. If convicted marquez faces 35 according to Court Documents he meat farook back in 2004, converted to islam shortly after and well before the attack became a radical. Marquez faced a federal judge charged with three criminal counts while prosecutors say theres no evidence he participated in the attack that left 14 dead this month. They say marquez conspired to plan two other terror plots with gunman farook, his long time friend. In late 2011 the affidavit says they wanted to attack the river Side CommunityCollege Library where they attended school. The duo also discussed throwing pipe bombs from a second floor area above a cafeteria, then shooting people as they fled. The pair also discussed a plot to terrorize a Southern California freeway. Marquez told investigators they chose a spot with no exit. The plan for farook to throw pipe bombs on to the freeway, marquez would fire from a hillside shooting police and first responders. What kind of guy was enrique . Hes what you seen on tv. Hes a dorky kid. He was paid 200 a month to marry farooks distant relative. Investigators say marquez bought and lied about the assault rifles for their aborted plot, the same ones used in the san bernardido massacre. He also purchased explosive material found at the shooting scene. He was involved in a terrorist conspiracy. After the attack he called 911. He said that expletive used my gun in the shooting. You said he used your gun . Yes, oh, my god. He threatened to kill himself. After drinking nine bottles of beer. Reporter marquez also had an odd facebook exchange. In it he wrote my life turned ridiculous, involved in terrorist plots, drugs and antisocial behavior. I could be going to prison. President obama will arrive here later on this week to meet with victims. Back to you. All right. Thank you very much. Lets turn to shaun henry, former assistant director for the fbi good morning. So rare that you get to actually hear from somebody so close oters and this is really a treasure troef of information for investigators. The two main conspirators here are dead and the fbi talking to marquez, it really is a key insight into how this really started, talking about how he became radicalized, who they were following and how they were inspired. Thigh had been planning ak 2011 four years ago and again in 2012 well before San Bernardino. Are there points where Law Enforcement might will stepped in and intercepted these guys . I dont know that theres any red flags that would have been shining lights to Law Enforcement, but it does show the progression that he was originally introduced to islam back in 2005 when he was 14 years old and then the slow radicalization, how he was provided with the jihadist rhetoric and talking about acquiring weapons, this was a long process and really is indicative of some of the challenges we have in identifying people who are becoming radicalized. He talked to them for Something Like eleven days. Is that going to help his case . Ultimately he still was charged but is that something that perhaps i dont know if it will save him from jail time but maybe a lesser sentence. Were talking about conspiracy to commit terrorism, 14 dead americans. I think its. Hes going to jail. All right. Thank you very much. There are some breaking news overnight in the president ial race. Bernie sanders is in trouble for accessing Hillary Clintons private campaign data. Kristen, what more can you tell us . Reporter according to the Democratic National committee, this breach happened on wednesday when a computer glitch allowed people in Bernie Sanders campaign to access a database of democratic voters for just a brief period. Still the allegations are serious and could hurt sanders whos already struggling to catch up with Hillary Clinton. The blow to Bernie Sanders president ial Campaign Comes on the eve of the next democratic debate and just a few weeks before the iowa caucuses. The Democratic National committee immediately suspending the campaigns access to critical voter information after accessing confidential data from Hillary Clintons campaign on wednesday. The Security Breach lasted for about a half hour on wednesday and believes at this point four people accessed the information. The Sanders Campaign blaming the Software Vendor for a glitch that temporarily allowed access to the information telling nbc news the dnc is relying on an incompetent vendor who on more than one occasion has dropped the fire wahl between the vary yaws Democratic Candidates data. The vendor called it an isolated incident and the staffer involved has been fired. The campaign maintains none of the information was downloaded or printed. And i want to underscore this one point. While the dnc says four people may have accessed the data at this point the Sanders Campaign is holding one person responsible telling me the behavior is unacceptable and that staffer was immediately fired. We reached out to the clinton no comment. And kristen, later today the president conducts his end of the Year Press Conference before going to San Bernardino and off to vacation in hawaii. What do we expect to hear . There is no larger threat than terrorism and the threat of isis. Expect that take center stage during the press conference where the president will try to reassure americans that theyre safe heading into the christmas holiday. The president will likely face pressing questions about whether he needs to change his isis strategy with his approval level at its lowest point since the midterm elections. He will face questions that his press secretary and of course hell be asked about the broader 2016 race. Finally, expect reporters to ask the president what he wants to accomplish during his last year in office. Officials here say his biggest able to get gun control passed. The president has also been signaling that he wants to go to cuba now that relations are normalized, so the question is will he actually make that trip . All that and more will be at the fore when the president takes our questions before he leaves for hawaii. Thanks. Nbc news will have live coverage of president obamas News Conference when it begins on most of these nbc stations.

Good morning. He has a habit of being accused of terrible things. The eccentric pharmaceutical executive now faces criminal charges for lying to investors and stealing from his own companies. If found guilty he could be sentenced to 20 years in prison. He was back in his manhattan apartment overnight released on bond, swarmed by the media and wearing sunglasses. Once again the object of public scorn. In september the baby faced pharmaceutical exec became an overnight sensation and not in a good way when he took a life saving drug that just cost 13. 50 and priced it at 750. For us to try to exist and maintain a profit i think its on thursday he was accused of creating an elaborate scheme stealing from his own company and lying to investors. He pled not guilty to the charges. He lied to them. He lied to the investors in both of the funds about how the investments were doing. He seemingly enjoys the attention posting hours and hours of live web cam sessions on youtube including this one from five days ago, nearly seven hours long. He alone in a hotel room the entire time. Christmas shopping. I dont christmas shop. Here he is Early Morning on thursday not long before he arrested by the feb admitting to being drunk. The 32yearold who became the poster boy forhigh drug prices. He spent millions of dollars on the only copy of wutangs latest to it. The way that hes flaunted his wealth really did not engender a lot of love for him in any community, let alone the hip hop community. Following his arrest on thursday the fbi said it hadnt seized anything from his home including the album. Triggering tweets like this. Did you listen, at least . Can you go back and get it . Overnight he sent out a single tweet saying he was glad to be back home. Hes expected back in court in january. Strange case when you have the fbi tweeting about wutang. Got to be a first. And now to major security changes coming to disney world and other theme parks today. How will it all impact your next family trip . Kerry sanders is on that story in orlando. Good morning. Reporter good morning. This is now a thing of the past. Kids will no longer be able to annoy their parents with a buzz toy gun. Disney stores, stores inside the theme park no longer selling any toy guns and kids cant even bring them in if they have them from home. Its one of the new security procedures now in full force. Movie goers at disney in orlando for the star wars premier thursday night and the force was definitely with them. The police force. Its what happens when fantasy land meets 21st century reality. I had to kind of improvise. Youre okay with that . Yeah. Because the security is . Security is important, i guess, make sure everyone is safe. Its the new normal at theme parks across the country. Metal dedeck torrs, bags being serged and dogs trained to sniff for explosives. I think its something that we as america have to come to this point. But im fully in agreement with it. Security experts say theme parks are soft targets, large now, low security. In the wake of San Bernardino at california theme parks heightened awareness. Theres so many offbalance people with offbalanced ideas that weve got to protect ourselves. At universal, theyve used metal detectors before. Now it will be more often. This is a natural progression as we study the best security practices for todays world. I agree that its a sign of the times. Things have changed and we need more security. You like this . Yes, i do. So with the new security you may have to wait in line at the entrance just to then go inside and wait in line to take a ride. All right. Sign of the times. Thank you. Now to that frightening scene we showed you earlier. Nba last night. Lebron james crashing into a fan as he chased for a loose ball. Scary stuff. Minutes left in the game and that fan who just happened to be a progolfers wife ended up leaving the arena on a stretcher. Scary moments between the oklahoma thunder and the Cleveland Cavaliers after lebron james, scrambling to get a loose ball in the Fourth Quarter leapt out of bounds. The all star crashing into a woman sitting court side. That woman is ellie day. Officials stopped the game while day who gave birth to her second child last month was placed in a neck brace and put on a stretcher. She was rushed to the hospital. Overnight lebron tweeted an apology. I hope youre doing okay. My apologies. Hope you guys come back to another team soon. While the team tweeted hope you feel better. Jason day was ranked number 2 day and his wife have recently attended several cavs games. She was released early this morning so thats good news there. Theres always a guy that dives in the front row in a game. Its hard to believe this doesnt happen more often. Now to this unusually warm weather across much of the country. Will it have you celebrating a white hot christmas . I guess thats the question. And its certainly possible. Its all because of el nino and besides spanish for the nino, its also spanish for the christ child. Thats what it refers to because the periodic warming we see down in the Pacific Ocean near south america is most prominent right around christmas time so thats where its got its name. So the el nino that were dealing with this year is one of the strongest ones weve seen since 1997. Here are the warm sea surface temperatures and its disrupting weather all across the world. In the United States weve been seeing record heat to the eastern half of the country and west. So this is comparable to the el nino in 1997, but it is still much warmer than it ever got in 1997. This is unprecedented long lasting warmth. Its never been this warm for this long of a period of time and according to noaa, this is one of the warmest septembers to novembers on record and december is setting up to be one of the warmest decembers on record. So thats why were not going to see a White Christmas but it is certainly going to be one of the warmest ones weve seen.

Coming up ultimate food gifts of this season. Ive already grazed by that table. A check of the top stories. Natalie over at her post. Good morning to you. Good morning. The friend of one of the San Bernardino shooters appeared in court. Hes facing terrorism charges. He and gunman syed farook had plotted several years ago to attack a College Library and a california freeway with bombs and guns. Hes also accused of unlawfully purchasing two assault rifles used in the San Bernardino attack that left 14 people dead and more than 20 injured. The Bernie SandersCampaign Says it has fired a staff member who improperly accessed voter information from the Hillary Clinton campaign. The voter file is maintained by the Democratic National committee. Each campaign can add sections with its own confidential data and the dnc says a brief computer glitch on wednesday allowed access to the clinton data. Its now told the Sanders Campaign it cannot use a system explanation. The Senate Armed Services committee will review defense secretarys ash carters use of private email. Committee chairman senator john mccain wants to make sure that Sensitive Information was not compromised. On thursday carter admitted relying on his personal email during his first month at pentagon. He continued using his email even after it was revealed that Hillary Clinton had exclusively used a personal email address as secretary of state. Former House SpeakerDennis Hastert has been hospitalized after suffering a stroke. Hasterts lawyer says the 73yearold was admitted six weeks ago, shortly after pleading guilty to evading banking laws. Hastert also had back surgery and had been treated for sepsis. The Illinois Republican was accused of making hush money payments to hide allegations of Sexual Misconduct when he was a High School Wrestling coach. Hes scheduled to be sentenced for that on february 29th. For the first time on sexual student owen la brie is talking about his decision of risking his fate with the jury instead of taking a plea deal. He was found guilty of using a computer to lure an underage girl into a sexual encounter. He was sentenced to a year in jail and probation and he told Newsweek Magazine if he had to do it all over again he would still reject the plea deal because, quote, it was the only thing that sustained me, knowing that i had told the truth. And facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg is sharing again. Hes posted a new photo of his 3weekold daughter max bundled in a jedi and with the light saber to keep the dark side at bay. The proud first time father captioned the photo, the force is strong with this one. With 2. 2 million likes already, it sure is. Little max is adorable. I did as well. And the manhunt for the socalled texas teen who used the affluencea defense to avoid a deadly drunk driving accident. Erica hill is here with us. Ethan couch apparently fled along with his mother to avoid a potential probation violation and this morning they are expanding the search for both of them. Ethan couch now presumed to be on the run after missing a mandatory meeting with his probation officer. The fbi and u. S. Marshals confirming to nbc news they are on the hunt. I mean, we welcome any assistance we can get at this point. Couch infamous known as affluenza teen was sentenced to ten years probation after killing four people and injuring nine while driving drunk near fort worth, texas in 2013. Couchs attorney argued the teen didnt understand the consequences of his actions because of his upbringing. Affluenza is not a recognized disease or disorder, a little bit of smoke and mirrors used by the reaction to the latest turn of events, swift and strong. And strong. Especially on social media. The county sheriff now says couch is his most wanted. Couch is not the first highprofile defendant whose familys wealth came under scrutiny. Alex kelly, also known as preppie rapist, fled to europe before his 1987 rape trial. With the financial help of his parents, kelly reportedly lived a luxurious life until he surrendered eight years later, ultimately serving ten years in prison. In 2009, robert h. Richards vi, an heir to the dupont fortune, was convicted of raining his toddler daughter but didnt serve time. Instead, the delaware judge gave richards probation. Often those more welltodo clients in the criminal Justice System do get better treatment, pay they can get the best defense, best experts money can buy. As for couch the search is ongoing. I wish i could say we were closer. I wish i could say we had a good lead, but we dont, and i still dont think were going to find him here locally. Couchs lawyers tell nbc news, quote, its our understanding that the court has issued a directive to apprehend, to have ethan detained because hes out of contact with his probation officer and went on to say we dont have any further information concerning this situation. As you mentioned, a lot of interest and especially online were seeing a huge reaction. A lot of outrage. Erica hill, thank you so much.

Brandy maloy is here with the perfect recipes. Good to see you. Good to see you. Lets start with ground rules. Whats important to have great tailgate. What do you have to do . The food has to be highly addictive and i love to smack talk any time im at a tailgate and i like to compare my food to some other bush league food. Talking trash with hors doeuvres. This is bacon crack, highly addictive. Starts with bacon, brown sugar, espresso, cayenne nutmeg, red chili flakes, puff pastry and black pepper. Okay. The first thing is we have our brown sugar. Ill add all the spices and ill have you dip our bacon, give it a little mix. There we go, and then were going to dip our bacon into the brown sugar. Okay. And if you want you can kind of do it with your hands but coat the bacon on every single creates an amazing flavor thats spicy and salty and hot and savory. This is like a sexy dish, willie. Really is. Im going to get off the excess and put it on to a bacon sheet and continue the rest and bake it at 350 for 30 minutes or until everything carmelizes. Take a bite that have. So good. Is this invention, your bacon crack . Candy bacon has been around a while and added the puff pastry which anchors it that al us to say. Crumble up the candy bacon the heat hon that bacon, the little cayenne. Has a nice little kick. I love that youre ready to really chow down over there, carson. Hes protecting that. Puff pastry is buttery and puffs up and what it does it kind of sucks all this bacon in, adding brown sugar so when we bake this again for 30 minutes. Its going to melt and carmelize and its going to become what everyone is eating over there. Youve already made the crack bacon and putting the crack bacon inside the dough right on top. And kind of gives it an extra added bounce. Okay. About to make a victory pretzel. The huge et pretzel youve ever seen and what we do, really easy. Using eggs, pizza dough, water, baking soda and a little bit of salt. I need your help because im 57 but weve got to get this log to six feet so you can either do this number. What if we pulled like a tugofwar. Double dutch. Youre a wild man. Willie, willie, willie, whoa. Lets protect the integrity of the ingredients. I dont know if were at 6 feet yet. Stretch and pull, keep going. Close enough. Make it into a u, give it a little twist and connect and got to push, make this guy big. Youll help me out with some egg wash this. Will get it nice and shiny. Yeah. What about the pretzel doe. Do you just buy that somewhere. I like to cut corners when i need to. This pretzel is going to taste delicious and i have to wait forever. Got to get on and root on the Arizona Cardinals. Youre a cardinals fan. Im from arizona. This is like the chefs secret to the pretzel. Youre going to brush it with baking soda and hot water, what kids it the really shiny exterior. That crunch. Right on top of the egg wash, go ahead. All right. And there we go, and you need that coarse, of course, you need coarse salt. With mustard, marina, ranch dressing. Take a look at this. Its a beauty. Why its so perfect for tailgating because everybody can taste a piece and dip it in there. My last one is amazing. These are actually Chocolate Chip Cookie dough footballs. So take a look at that. Its eggless cookie dough so no one has to worry about the egg. Shaped them in fooblts, dipped them in chocolate and added the laces. Hello. Where do you come up with this stuff . Bacon crack pizza over here. Really just love being an adult. Heres the pizza. Im hungry. Got the bacon crack and the victory pretzel and the chocolate chip footballs and whats great you can make everything ahead of time and pack it up and set up your tailgate and have your flags ready and paint your face. And drive right to the emergency room after you eat all this stuff, yeah. Its so good. Between the pretzel and i sample it all at once. The thing you did with the pretzel, my favorite part. Do this with george and lucy at home. Something to get the kids involved with. And i had fun with you. Make ahead and roll up to the game and all ready to go. Brandy maloy, thanks so much.

Our morning jam i wish it could be Christmas Every day. I like this one. By leona lewis. Had a great little party yesterday, the Holiday Party for the show. Had it at krall restaurant here in new york, and we had some fun. Lots of photos. Lots. To share with you all. This is a great photo booth, a little photo op. I wish i could caption what happened. Adam mill, tammy and kristine theres the real story yesterday. Tamron and i having some fun. Thats a caption contest. Natalie made me laugh and look at her face. Thats dark natalie. Im serious. Were going to put these online and caption these photos. Look at hoda. So fun. Original bird savannah. I like the nice family shot pand then reality sets in whats really going on. What was the name of the drink. The potion for purpose. Potion for purpose and i kept asking the girl whats in it and shes like dont worry about it. And mumbled off and walked away. Clearly the purpose was to get us in the photo booth like that. Thats such a fun day though. Love that. Did such a good job and get to hang out with the people you dont get to see every day. Who work behind the scenes in thats our party. The other party was inside theaters across the country. The force woke up, like this. Like this. Its amazing. So here by the numbers, variety magazine says the movies Opening Night 50 million and fandango has said its sold more tickets than any other film has sold during its entire theatrical run. Oh, my gosh. Thats called shutting down the thats right. Yeah. Jurassic world, the hunger games and the avengers, age of voltron all followups. New jersey store is using star wars to tell the nativity story calling it cosmic christmas, so the pastor is pastor lucas. Like the koss team. Delivers his sunday sermon delivered as han solo and he swapped out traditional nativity figure with star wars Action Figures and we have good versus evil. The story is all there. The wise men that come to save the day. Han solo and chewie and yoda. This sunday. Hallelujah. Thats a good way to bring them in, right . Exactly. The other photo, im obsessed with. Looked at this photo for probably ten minutes staring into the eyes of max zuckerberg. Mark zuckerbergs baby girl posted saying the force is strong with this one. And look at tiny light saber and little figurine and i love her expression. Shes intense. Looks like a yoda. So thoughtful. Thinking of the force. And shes like a month old, if that. Thinking about her Stock Options and facebook. And how shes going to route world some day. Also the daily beast posted, i love this, saw this last night. Roger eberts original review of the Star Wars Film in 1977. At the time he wrote every once in a while i have what i think of as an outofbody experience at a movie. When i use the phrase, i simply mean that my imagination has present in a Movie Theater and i think its up there on the screen. Thats amazing. That is what he said about the original story. So true. And it still holds to this day, that review. Not for some in the middle but thats cool to see. If youre on rotten tomatoes, i guess hes one of the first bloggers to post a negative review. Oh, boy. Lets just say the force is not with him. They are strongly against him, and pretty much is shut down but to each his own. You recall our little outing to go see the film. You fell asleep. Report thing, remember when i said we had a couple of glasses of wine before dinner and did the whole party before. I fell asleep a little bit, right .

The credits at the end were when lance bass is asking you to move. Can i get out of here, natalie, please. Youll see it again. The great thing i get to see it with my kids and it will be all new to me. Thats why they make snap chat, by the way, do the video and then it disappears. Youre very brave to share that. I love that. Were so glad you did. We had fun. Oh, my gosh. We going to go see it again . Ive got to take my kids again. We have to see it again. I remember because i was awake. But i want to see sisters though.
