The epic ending earning a place in history on today, friday, december 4th, 2015. Announcer from nbc news, this is today with matt lauer and savannah guthrie, live from studio 1a in rockefeller plaza. And good morning, welcome to today on a friday morning. They are calling that football play the motown miracle, people in the motor city not waking up feeling that way. Theres a reason they do those hail mary passes because sometimes they work. Every once in a while. If you were sleeping well show you. Well begin with our top story. The shooting rampage in San Bernardino, california and officials trying to answer the question why was this terrorism . This morning investigators are following the trail of clues left behind by the attackers. But theres no clear motive. We have complete coverage with beginning with craig melvin. Od morning to you. Reporter good morning. Law enforcement officials here are looking very closely at this couples digital footprint, communications. Thursday night Law Enforcement officials revealele that the couple had amassed nothing short of an arsenal, 6,000 rounds of ammunition, 12 pipe bombs in the garage, materials to make more bombs. There are two central questions in this investigation right now. Had this couple become radicalized, and were they planning more attacks . We have at least 20 victims. Reporter one of the first officers to arriveve San Bernardino Police Lieutenant thursday night describing the horror of the mass shooting for the first time. It was extremely loud. The fire alarms were going off. There were people who were obviously injured and obviously in great amount of p pn and that was e edent in the moments and the wails we heard. Reporter a speed for which he said no amount of training could prepare him. The carnage that we were seeing. The number of people who were injured and, unfortunately, already dead. And the sheer panic on the face of those individuals that were safe. Reporter shortly after the Assault Police s s colleagues of Syed Rizwan Farook identified him to authorities. A male left out of the blue and then 20 minutes later shooting occurred. Reporter overright farookok brotherinlaw said he never saw any hints o violence. He was a good religious person, yes just like normal anybody would be. Butnothing, nothing that i can see that he could do that. Nothing that would fit the term radicalized as weve heard . No, not that i can take. Not the person i know. Reporter farhan khan saw farook a week ago. Drank tea and talked about every day things like work and trying to lose weight. Its always going to be a question why he did Something Like that. A normal person living with my family, why would he do Something Like that . Did somebody brainwash him . Something snap him . Did he have a fight at work . Im waiting to hear like whaha really happened. Reporter khan described farook as private and didnt know his wife very well but the couple seemed to be happy and loved their baby girl. You left your 6monthold daughter, you know, in this life. Some people cannot have kids. God give you a gift of a daughter. And you left that kid behind. I dont know what message. Brotherinlaw . Y, absolutely. Very angry. Very upsent a angry. And for leavivi his daughter . Yeah. Angry. Reporter and this morning we are leaeaing new details abobo possible terrorist ties, including fact that farook had interest the u. S. Authorities here in the Los Angeles Area and overseas. We can also tell you some of the evidence from here in San Bernardino has already been flown back to washington, d. C. For expert experiod indicted analysis were told. Craig melvin at the scene. Lets talk more about those possible ties to terrorism and bring in nbc justice correspondent petetwilliams. Pete, what can you tell us . Reporter matt, investigators hit something of a bump in the road as they try to figure out phone and computer left behind were intentionally damaged. Inside this house used by Syed Rizwan Farook and his wife in redland near San Bernardino investigators say they found some electronic footprints indicating that farook was in touch by phone and social media with people in the u. S. And overseas who showed an interest in radical jihad. But Officials Say farook and his wife tried to cover their electronic tracks just before the shooting, erasing emails and destroying computer hard drives and cell phones. U. S. Officials are also loooong at farooks overseas travel, twice to saudi arabia, where he met his wife, and to pakistan where she comes from. But from the president on down officials insist they have yet to know what toledo the shooting. It is p psible that this was terrorist related. But we dont know. Its also possible that this was workplace related. Reporter investigators say in advance stockpiling a dozen pipe bombs in that house and ammunition in addition to 1600 rounds of ammunition that the couple had in their suv car. Thats roughly 1600 in ammunition. Guns cost 1500. An explosive device left behind by farook and his wife at the shooting scene, three pipe bombs tied together with a Remote Control detonator. Inside the couple shot up suv sayyas the remote alcohol itselfit control. That same design was used by the tsarnaev brothers in the Boston Marathon bombing. Investigators are looking whether that same design was available some place else. At this point we do not have information, i do want to stress, we do not have information about what influenced either of these two individuals. Reporter investigators are also looking at whether farook those guns and explosives but so far Officials Say theres no sign that anyone else knew what they were up to. Pete, its understandable people want to label this. When it c ces to the word terrorism you hear a lotf people using it yet a lot of luchlt officials and government officials are reluctant to use it. Why . Reporter well, first of all, they have to know what the couple was up to. In other words, what did they want to do here before they can label it . People can call it tichl if he want but for the fbi theres a strict definition an act dangerous to human Life Intended to intimidate or coerce the civilian population or influence government policy. It may seem odd but under federal law for this requirement just going out and shooting a bunch of people doesnt make it an act of terrorism no matter what the persons own views may be. Important distinction. The director of the National Counterterrorism center. Michael, good morning to you. We just learned that the word terrorism is a term of art legally. But lets just talk about facts of the case as we understand them right now. Everyone is being very careful. But if you were to line up on a scale all the facts that were indicative of a terrorist motivated attack and those that looked like a workplace grievance wouldnt you have more facts to suggest terrorism than your typical disgruntled Workplace Violence . You do. You have contacts of peopleef concern. You have one of the ieds which links back to a terrorist organization potentially. So you have a lot of indicators there. As pete said ultimately its about what was in the individuals minds and what their motive was. But at least for now its leading in that direction. The president was right that motives mix together and deadly combination. You can be motivated by radical thoughts but t tget individuals becacae youelt alienated, you felt disenfranchised. Some of the circumstantial evidence, this idea that you are committed enough to creating carnage that you drove off your 6monthold daughter with a relative under false pretense. It seems hard for anybody to get their arms around. Youre exactly right. Thats what makes this case so hard for Law Enforcement officials. Because it doesnt make sense. The profile of thesewo individuals is so different from so many that have been radicalized so you start to think theres some other motivation there. At the same time you have conflicting indicators like the explosives devices. That mix is not only hard to under after the fact kts it also makes it that much harder for people to detect these sorts of terrorist or Workplace Violence isnt the woman the key here, michael . If youre analyzing these facts what woman leaves a 6monthold baby to go help you rectify your workplace grievance . I cant begin to understand what is going on in her mind but its extremely rare in terrorist circles and radicalization to see two individuals who are married go out and do this together. Weve seen examples of black widows, women becoming radicalized when their husbands are killed. But to go out there and do this together is an outliar. I think thats what left many in the Counterterrorism Community very, very concerned but still scratching their head. And that something happened at this Holiday Party isnt it more likely he went to that party to case the room, find out where the entrances were and the exits were, see if there was visible security, find out where the parking lot so they could get out of there . I think theres absolutely no doubt that there was significant planning before the fact. Theres no way that you gather these weapons, that you have this coordinated plan with the wife, that you have this improviced explosive device you bring in with a Remote Control all of that indicates a degree of planning and destruction of the social media indicates a degree of plan. That point, again, towards long term thought about this. It wasasery well hidden and the real potential for radicalization. Michael as always thanks very much. To hear the investigators say they have a whole section of their house dedicated to bomb making. Why do you wipe youou computer, what are you trying to erase emails and contacts. Those are questions that investigators are looking at. Front and center this whole story on the campaign trail. Its intensifying an already heated debate among candidates and voters over terrorism and Hallie Jackson is following that piece of the story for us. Reporter as this conversation happens particularly about National Security, many of the president ial candidates are not hesitating to call this shooting terrorism. Part of the political fallout after San Bernardino. Its becoming clearer that we are dealing with an act of terrorism. Reporter for hick a rare consensus with some republican rivals with more and more information coming out about the San Bernardino shooter. For some the rhetoric rising. It seems every time theres a they want strength. We have weak people. We have ineffective people. Radical islamic terrorism and ill tell you what. We have a president that refuses to use the term. He refuses to say it. Theres something going on with him that we dont know about. From the only republican making an early link to islam and terror. All of us are deeply concerned that this is another manifestation of terrorism. Radical islamic terrorism here at home. We need to come to grips with the idea that we are in the midst of the next world war. Talk terrorism. Im convinced it was a terrorist attack. Reporter democrats demand more gun control. We cant go on with losing the 90 people a day to gun violence. Reporter republicans pouncing. You think shooting in california is about gun control . Then you dont understand whats gog on in the world. Reporter grahams comments coming at a forum of jewish constituents. Trump the frontrunner booed for s response to whether jerusalem should be the capital ofs israel. I want to wait until i immediate with b. B. Short time. Reporter ben carson again seemed to struggle on Foreign Policy raising eyebrows with his mispronunciation of the Extremist Group hamas. The slit is fatah and hamas. They operate in a constant state of conflict. Reporter carson eventually corrected himself. Foreign policy and National Security increasingly important topics now in this president ial race. While the shooting has pushed gun control into the spotlight many republicans are doubling down on their positions on the campaign trail. Ted cruz, for example will go forward with Second Amendment event at a gun range today in iowa. We have a story that was breaking overnight. 16 people were killed, several others injured during a fire bomb attack on a nightclub in cairo. Police are still looking for two young men who carried this out. This happened during a staff and the men after denied entrance. They threw molotov cocktails into the club.

The Federal Reserve is signalling later this month for the first time in nearly a decade it is likely to raise Interest Rates. Worry among investors thursday. Dow closed down 250 points. What should we be doing right now ahead of a hike . Jim cramer is host of cnbcs mad money. First we heard this before. The fed has been threatening to raise Interest Rates and do you think its real this time we have decent job growth and worried about inflation in 2016. A few thing you can do right now . Number one you say lock in the mortgage if you got one of those floating rates. Ive been taking advantage of it. Is this most prudent thing to do. So its more expensive to have a 30 year fixed but you think in this case worth doing. More expensive but think about down the road. Next one you say this is probably the first thing we see affected car loan. Car, do it now. As soon as they raise the rates this goes up. The next one credit card rates. Again, you say refinance. How do you that if im holding a store credit card or Bank Credit Card you got pay it down. This is under the reckless category. This can go high. Not significantly like car loans. But dont take a chance. Pay it off if you can. If you cant try and get a home equity loan. They wont want to give it to you. Not all bad news because youre making me depressed. The savings can grow. The one plus side of an Interest Rate going higher. People have been taking risks to get more interest. Youll get a chance. Dont move immediately. You need a couple of hikes before you get a good bargain on a certificate deposit. Finally, fire sales. Everyone freaks out. Stocks plummet. A fire sale. Dont just go in and say its down a little bit lets buy. Youll get your chance if they move up rates quickly. They say they wont do that. Give us your pitch. If you see a day like yesterday where the dow drops and the market is freaking out over Interest Rates, you shouldnt get out of the market. No. This is a standard course of situation.

Lester holt sat down with farooks brotherinlaw. He was a good religious person. Just like a normal anybody would be. But nothing, nothing that i can see that he could do that. Nothing that would fit the term radicalized as we heard . No. Not that i can think. Not that person i know. He was not radical. Reporter the fbi says their investigation could take months. They may not have a motive for some time. Natalie. Miguel, thank you. I spoke this morning with ryan reyes whose partner of almost three years Daniel Kaufman was killed. Ryan said he was first led to believe that daniel because wounded but alive, and he didnt learn the truth until thursday morning nearly a full day later. It was very, very difficult having all of that hope just to short hours. Daniel kaufman worked at the coffee shop in the Regional Center training developmentally disabled clients for jobs in the outside world. One day after wednesdays tragedy, the senate voted on thursday against expanding background checks for private gun sales.

And miss piggy joined Michelle Obama to read twas the night before christmas. The tradition was started by president coolidge in 1923. Pretty tree but weve got a pretty tree. Not competitive at the holidays. Putting it out there. Thank you. For the second straight day unfortunately were spending a lot of time this morning talking about a mass shooting. And as i said unfortunately, talked a lot about this among ourselves as parents how do you talk to kids about whats going on. Sheinelle jones has been thinking about that. Good morning. Good morning. Its become nearly impossible to shield our children from these violent episodes, many schools now have lockdown drills on a regular basis. We went to the experts to find out the right way to sus skus it all with your family. Breaking news now. Police are responding to a possible act of shooting situation. Colorado springs Police Officers have been shot. Their condition we do not know at this point. Over 1,000 people gathered last night to remember the victims of Thursdays School shooting. Another shooting in america. Another community shattered. When bad guys try to come in we go in one specific spot in our classroom, my teacher close my door, locks it. Now, kids are learning about lockdowns in case somebody comes in with a gun. These unthinkable acts, relayed to the world through terrifying images, creating a ripple of fear. Makes you think that when you are some place is the person next to you safe . Or are they going to hurt you. There are kids whore able to get weapons into schools, they have metal detectors. If youre in a Shopping Mall they dont have metal detectors when you walk in. You cant be assured that you are definitely safe. And when the stuff of childhood nightmares becomes all too real, how do you comfort your kids . It makes me think about how people can be mean and hurt people around the world. Why are they doing it . Shouldnt do it. We have to think about the age, the timing, and what the questions the kids are asking before we put it all out there. If your kids are younger than 5, experts say they are probably too young to discuss it. He talks about shooting, killing, hurting. He tells me all of that stuff. All the time. But when kids are old enough to ask, they are ready for a conversation conversation. Keep your answers simple. The key here is really be mindful to not overtalk because you might give too much information which scares your kids so follow their lead. Take their questions. With teens make sure they have all of the facts go on line to discuss what they see on social media, the most common concern among parents how do i make sure my kids feel safe every day. Thats my biggest concern. I dont want my kids to live now in fear. I dont want my kids to go to school and wonder if somebodys going to come in with a gun. You may need to be the person that says hey, youre going to hear this is happening. Know wear doing our best to keep you safe. As hard as it may seem experts say be honest. Scared too. I dont think you should keep of eventually they will find out about these things and it will make them more sad about hearing them. If they are already exposed to like these things happening, then they can kind of cope with it more. Its clear an important take away this morning, if your kids have questions, you cant just blow it off. You have to address their concerns. And its interesting, obviously 3yearold twins and a 6yearold my sons school sent out a memo after the paris attacks how to talk to your kids. They talked about paris and here we go again. Its a tough time. I think you made good point. If you think your kids dont know about it, yours are maybe a little young, ours are older. If one of their friends hear they all hear about it. Important to address and talk about it. As the experts said. Sheinelle, thank you so much. Coming up next, getting in the christmas spirit.

We have an empty chair at the table because savannah is actually going to start us off with a debate over holiday decorations. This caught my eye because i lights on the tree the same way. You coil them around this way. Listen to what one design expert told today. Com. Look at this. He suggests that what you should do is hang them vertically, not horizontally. You start at the top, obviously not with the end that has a plug. Okay. And you weave them into the tree. That way the light go ahead. Thats the end with the plug. I know. This is what eggnog. So you just go like this, i guess. Does this look right . You have to stick it into the branches better. Whats the difference if you are only seeing the lit bulbs . You do it horizontally the light gets stuffed in there, too much. So its better i stuff the lights in on purpose to hide the cord. Do that starting at the top listen. Also i like when you push the lights in a little because it gives depth to the tree. You know what, take it up with francesca. You see the lights more brightly when they are more to the surface like that. This is easier. Usually you are like exactly. When i lit the rockefeller tree the other night i just went around. Like that . Up and down. What do you think . I kind of like that. Looks nice. I like that youre bigger than the tree. Its no tinsel. All right. Theres one debate. I think we can agree on this. Texting and walking, its a bad idea. In a recent poll overwhelming majority said they call it both annoying and a serious issue. 74 said actually other people engage in distracted walking, 29 owned up to it themselves saying they, yes, do it, savannah. And something doesnt add up. The numbers dont work. Its funny. People are saying yeah, were does it except not me. 100 . I do. Yes. You walk in a public place and text . I have. I dont make a habit of it. I have almost walked into the columns at Rockefeller Center. I did once and it was a disaster. Im using my microphone a lot more recently. Voice memo. They have that technology down pretty good. You got to keep your emails meet you for a drink in two hours from now. Heres a question. You think you guys were thinner when you were single . No. Yes. Okay. Well, so you might be the outlier, al. Most of the Research Suggests to be thinner and people married or lived together male or female had a higher body mass index. One theory is couples who live together are heavier because they are more likely to share meals, drink together. New science . Fresh out of the presses. The science box. I got it while i was texting. Reminds me of something mike said once. I said when we get married can we let it go and get fat . He said why wait . Finally we have this. A winner in the battlech the sexes when it comes to this. Who is better at assembling ikea women. We read the directions. Those are hard. A few years ago ikea president said women because they take time to read the instructions. So some scientists decided to fact check the claims. They are scientists and decided to fact check this. The conclusion, women do read but, men are better at actually assembling the furniture. All right. The small study of two people, a guy and a girl, guys were faster and more accurate and ended up with fewer leftover parts at the end. Brute force. Ikea instructions, it starts everything unassembled, then its half together, then its together. A lot of arrows. And that one wrench thing. Enjoys the ikea building process. She likes to do. Unbelievable. She does. She likes assembling. I love figuring out things like that too. Legos. Now the big time headlining the super bowl halftime show. Sophias beef with ellen. First up is coldplay.

Now to our ongoing series todays hassle free Holiday Season. Eating season is upon us. Its food and drinks galore. We have some exciting tips to help us get through without putting on massive poundage. Good morning. Good morning. Thats what its all about. Not putting on a lot of weight this season. Youre going to give us some tips in a minute. A lot of us think about holidays ill gain five pounds, ten most people actually only gain about one pound. However, we can bring out our new years noise makers just yet because the problem is that people end up losing that. If you dont gain any other weight but you gain that one pound every Holiday Season thats ten pounds in a decade and thats a big problem. It adds up. Here. Youre going to tell me we shouldnt drink this much. If youre a moderate wine drinker which for a woman is seven drinks a week. Thats a lot for a lot of people. If during the Holiday Season each week those four weeks of the holidays you up that by about four drinks thats going to be 1600 extra calories. Thats going to add to that extra pound. Okay. So my tip here is plan the night. Youre leaving the party in ten minutes. Dont go for that extra drink. Water or selzer. Selzer i find helps. In a stem blas makes it feel festive. This looks like a vegetable. So the side appetizers what i want people to do this Holiday Season is boycott. Because four of these spinach cheese things will be 260 calories. You go for some crudet. You got to give me Something Better than celery. Ill give you some shrimp. If you just do this one thing throughout the Holiday Season, just one thing, youll have some indulgences. Avoid that one pounding weight gain. The veggies will fill you up. Make a bee line for the pigs in the blanket. Leaner choice of protein is 124 calories. If you are truly hungry during that appetizer time, lean protein will satisfy you. Again these fit right into that fried appetizer category were going boycott. And have a little bite of something at home before you go to the party. I recommend that. I say ruin your appetite at home. With turkey or hard boiled egg. All vegetables are not created equal. Again go for the cleanest opening. When you sit down for that big meal people feel im filling my plate with vegetables but they are loaded with sugar and fat. This spinach is 260 calories versus the sauted spinach at 90 calories. Im about indulge. You want dessert. Choose them wisely. The pumpkin pie will be better at 270 calories versus the nut. I like nuts in general. Not in pie about 490 calories. This is about setting yourself up for success. Have you safe comfort foods. When its 3 00 a. M. And stressed out wrapping gifts. Have a safe comfort food Something Like a nut butter with an apple. You know thats your safe comfort food or something more savory portioned out pieces of cheese. Leftovers. You want to gift them to your guest. Get rid of them or use them in a fun way. Make Something Like a healthy pizza the next day with kids. Load up whatever extra veggies you have. Okay. You say work out. Thats good. Because actually Research Even shows youre less tempted by decadent foods. You feel good. Youre more motivated to stay on the straight and narrow. Why do you have this dress. When you wear something form fitting and feel fabulous youre less likely again to dive head first into any decadent treats. Thank you so much. If you want more tips head coming up next amanda peet. 8 40. Were back with one of our favorite people, amanda peet. Just in time for the holidays shes written a new childrens rachel rosenstein. Its so beautiful i cant believe it. Took them forever to put up the tree. Oh, tree. Dont worry about it. When i wrote it i didnt think it would work. Yeah. The tree didnt occur to me. Youre jewish, you grew up celebrating which holiday i did hanukkah and christmas. Why both . I had a very secular upbringing and my parents thought why not. But when i got married and had children we decided to dispense with christmas and my kids started asking me questions about why cant we have a tree, why cant we have santa. So my coauthor and i decided to write a book to deal with our feelings and their feelings about it. The reason i like it is its a Childrens Book so its good it resonates with kids. But also parents. Additions all the time and theres pressure when your kids come home. If you want to celebrate one or the other they say well why cant we do that. Tell me with rachel. I was truly flummoxed. I didnt know what to say when they asked me. We tried to write a book how wonderful hanukkah is over christmas. Which is better we wanted to beef up hanukkah. A competitive Childrens Book. Little insight into my personality. So rachel, we decided to talk about the feeling of being left out and the holidays are sorrow man tick and so pretty and all the lights every where. So she just feels left out. She not only wants santa to come visit her she wants the whole holiday to come visit her. She does. She doesnt get that. That was for us. Its a good time, its an age for kids to realize there are celebrating other things and we definitely wanted to bring that in. The great thing about our book is part of our proceeds are going to feed the peace which is a nonprofit organization, its a camp in maine where they incorporate israeli and palestinian teachers together at camp. Since its a Childrens Book and not a thriller, we can kind of give the ending a little bit. How does rachel figure it out at the end her mom says sometimes we thoof accept what is and she goes a Chinese Restaurant which a lot of us do, thats where we are on christmas. She runs into a lot of her classmates from school who she runs into of different faiths. And a bunch of other children christmas. You got a great resume. Is this now the writing bug. Has it bitten you . I dont know. I wanted to write the story. My coauthor wanted to. I hope well do more. Well see. Married to david and david is the, call him show runner . Game of thrones. Yes. Which is hugely popular. Next year you two combine for another Childrens Book, a very game of thrones christmas. There will be a lot of beheadings. We dont want that. I dont think it would be a good holiday fare. You still travel a lot for that show. We live in belfast for part of the year and we love it there and its been, a very great thing obviously. Always good to have you here. The book is called dear santa, love rachel rosenstein. Coming up a set of twins with a special bond on and off the football field and try to figure amanda out. Nbc.

Live from studio 1a in rockefeller plaza. Welcome to today on a friday morning in new york city. A nice big crowd getting ready for the weekend. Its friday, december 4th, 2015 inside studio 1a im willie tamron. Our focus is on San Bernardino. Were getting new information, new details and new accounts. Lets begin with the farook. He has now spoken out. Lester holt sat down with farhan khan and he says he has no idea what led to the massacre. Couple could leave behind a 6monthold daughter. You left your 6monthold life. Some people cannot have kids. God give you a gift of a daughter. And you left that kid behind. What did you achieve . I dont know what message they would learn. Are you angry at your brotherinlaw for doing this . Absolutely. Very angry. Very upset and angry. And for leaving his daughter . Yeah. It hurts me every few hours that makes me angry that what de. We talked about that yesterday, anyone who could leave behind a 6monthold daughter knowing that was the end that they were probably going to die that day or go jail for the rest of their lives thats something terrible in mind had they leave that child behind. One of the First Responders to arrive on the scene was San Bernardino Police Lieutenant mike madden on his way to lunch when he was alerted by dispatch Regional Center. He describes what unfolded as unspeakable. We entered, there was fresh gun powder and the smell of gun powder in the air. There were people who were obviously injured and obviously in great amounts of pain and that was evident in the moments room. It was unspeakable. The carnage that we were seeing. The number of people who were injured and, unfortunately, already dead. You talk about the chaos you First Encounter Sprinkler System had gone off. The room was filling with water. Alarms going off. Smell of gun powder. He had to make the agonizing decision to walk past the wounded who we knew needed help because he had to find the shooter and stop the carnage. Just so horrific and he was very emotional during that News Conference as well. Obviously, when we talk about these tragedies all too often you start to hear about the about what could have possibly bean motive. But so much of the time we want to focus on the victims and thats really where the focus should be and we are now learning more about the 14 victims of this tragic shooting. Friends and colleagues gathering at what was a Holiday Party a reason to celebrate and their ages range from 26 years old to 60 years old. One had just had a child, just 20 months old. One was a father of six. Another was planning her wedding. And another person was already sweetheart. So many stories of lives lost. Late thursday candlelight of hope for the community of San Bernardino. Arlan is the husband of benita one of 14 People Killed in wednesdays shooting rampage. She was a christian born in muslim iran fled to america at the age of 18 to escape islamic extremism. Life and Everything Else. From her. Irony.

So many families doing their best to cope. Beth was an intelligent, motivated and beautiful young woman who was full of life and loved by all who knew her. The family of robert adams our beloved robert will not be coming the home us. And he was loving son, brother, husband and daddy to savannah. So many names, michael, age 37. A Health Inspector and father of six. Damien, 58 a recent employee at San Bernardino county who coached p. E. And played santa in nguyen. I feel he was martyred and i just know hes in a better place and my faith is keeping me strong. 21 others were wounded. I didnt get that phone call that those other families got. I feel so fortunate. Lisa stevens 22yearold daughter jennifer was shot in the stomach but her recovery will be more than just physical. She just keeps saying i never seen a gun before, i didnt hear a gun. Carlos ortizs son was shot five times. Initial phone call you get your son calls you and tells you he loves you and not knowing he will make it. 14 dead, 21 wounded and sense of whats next. San bernardino, we may be down but were not out. God bless San Bernardino. So painful because we are hearing these stories all too often these days. And stories of, you know, young people, older people, lives cut at such a, you know, such a tragic way. Of course, its horrible at any time of year but at a Holiday Party. This is the time of year when were supposed to be celebrating joy and were not. So i want to make a little transition here and i think this will hopefully give you a little more spirit. There was a santa visiting kids at a mall in charlotte, north carolina. He comes across one little boy, braden who has autism. Great program, they shut down the mall and allow kids with autism and special needs who might be overwhelmed otherwise to come in. To sit on santas lap. So santa as santa does takes matters in his own hands. It was taken during the caring by Santa Program put on by autism speaks. That picture says it all. Thats a great santa too. Thats why we love santa. Well done. If that didnt consistent off the happy waterworks. Its about to come down over here. A shout out to the good people of tulsa, oklahoma. So, you know, its christmas. Everybody is putting up trees. What would make an entire community turn the Christmas Tree being into a halloween throw back . Well one special little girl, a 3yearold girl in tulsa, her neighborhood really showed up for her. Her name is molly turbin and not able to celebrate halloween she was in the hospital suffering from pneumonia. Spent 28 days. Worry was, which is very important, what happened to halloween did i miss it . Her mom posted on facebook she wanted to recreate the holiday for her daughter. 60 families came out to help molly trickortreat in the neighborhood. Like any good little girl she dressed as rapunzel. Rapunzer with a side of hello kitty. So they put a pause on yoim for a second and celebrated halloween. Thats a good neighbor. Is that so sweet. Answered the call. Theres a lot more light than darkness in the world. Well said. How is the weather . Lets show you whats going on. In got to tell you, you want something about holiday spirit check out these guys. They will be performing for us in a little bit. Very nice. Thats the look. Willie you and i need to rock this. Im telling you. I want that. Meantime oh, man, florida you are getting pounded. I mean so much rain. Last 48 hours, were talking so much rain. Normal december rainfall two inches. Since midnight 3. 48, over the last 48 hours so far miami has gotten two months worth of rain both december and january, and it aint over yet. Weak stationary front just slowly moving to the south, saw a front bringing rain and storms and five to eight more inches of rain possible through the weekend. What a mess. You look at the rainfall totals between now and sunday, were talking flash flood watches in effect for saturday, locally three inches and heavier Thunder Showers but as we said could be up to eight inches locally for morning, sunshine took over as High Pressure continues to build in across the viewing area. Fog will be a factor tonight, once again, as skies clear and the snow pack remains on the ground. This will yield patchy dense fog across the region with a mile. We will continue our warming trend across siouxland as we round out our work week, with temperatures expected to climb towards that 40 degree mark quickly with even warmer conditions by next week under mainly sunny skies. Thats your latest weather. Coming up next, joe johnas gets into this holiday spirit for some deserving kids and tamron caught up with the pop star to talk about that, his new music and his new hair.

One of many pieces in my life. So when my asthma symptoms kept coming back on my longterm control medicine, i talked to my doctor and found a missing piece in my asthma treatment. Oncedaily breo prevents asthma symptoms. Breo is for adults with asthma not well controlled on a longterm asthma control medicine, like an inhaled corticosteroid. Breo wont replace a rescue inhaler for sudden breathing problems. Breo opens up airways to help improve breathing for a full 24 hours. Breo contains a type of medicine that increases the risk of death from asthma problems and may increase the risk of hospitalization in children and adolescents. Breo is not for people whose asthma is well controlled on a longterm asthma control medicine, like an inhaled corticosteroid. Once your asthma is well controlled, your doctor will decide if you can stop breo and prescribe a different asthma control medicine, like an inhaled corticosteroid. Do not take breo more than prescribed. See your doctor if your asthma does not improve or gets worse. Could be a missing piece for you. See if youre eligible for 12 months free at mybreo. Com.

And thats no exception for joe johnas the singer has been giving back to some deserving families and i caught up with him. He answered that burning question what does kate by the ocean really mean . Joe jonas burst on the seen as a member of the jonas brothers. Now hes dancing his way up the charts with his new band and their hit single kate by the ocean. But despite his busy schedule this season still has given joe a chance to give back. We partnered up with j. C. Penney and hosted an amazing event with the boys and girls club where we invited kids from 11 cities to have a shopping spree. What shocked me they were getting gifts for each other. Sneak in a gift for yourself. To the dime they had their moms purse, brothers jacket. It was really beautiful thing to see them wanting to give back. Its hard when youre a kid. Absolutely. I remember when i was a kid and you want to spoil yourself but you see such kindness and joy and happiness and excited to give back themselves i think that was the most beautiful experience of it all. It certainly is a wonderful time of the year for joe who is currently on tour with his band. Tell me about denc. Year ago. We have been playing. We had a new cd come out a couple of weeks ago. Whats the deal with kate by the uocean. They kept ordering a drink kate by the ocean. We were having fun in the studio. We couldnt let him go elephant in the room.

A Little George clooney. The minute i saw you wow you a time . No but ill take it. Any interest in acting. Ive done a little acting. We had to ask him about the question how do you balance your personal life and music and youre super busy. Career first and its hard to be in a relationship. It takes time and luckily i have music where i can just put it all backo what im writing or performing. Music always inspires me. Does your music reflect where yeah, i definitely think so. Music has been a good diary for me. When you dont want to talk about certain things and you can put to it music and put it out there. Easier way to handle it. We should mention that joe is on facebook for j. C. Penney. You can catch joe and denc on tour playing the jingle ball and up next the band youll be seeing at the super bowl halftime show, the actors who will grace the final nude issue of playboy. Whats old is new my moderate to severe chronic plaque psoriasis made a simple trip to the Grocery Store anything but simple. So finally, i had an important conversation with my dermatologist about humira. He explained that humira works inside my body to target and help block a specific source of inflammation that contributes to my symptoms. In clinical trials, most adults saw 75 skin clearance. Humira can lower your ability to fight infections, including tuberculosis. Serious, sometimes fatal infections and cancers, including lymphoma, have happened; as have blood, liver, and nervous system problems, serious allergic reactions, and new or worsening heart failure. Before treatment, get tested for tb. Tell your doctor if youve been to areas where certain fungal infections are common, and if youve had tb, hepatitis b, are prone to infections, or have flulike symptoms or sores. Dont start humira if you have an infection. Ask your dermatologist about humira. Because with humira clearer skin is possible. Automated voice to file a claim, please state your name. Carnie wilson.
