Our top story is the fire bombing of the california mosque. 90 miles from the San Bernardino massacre. Nbcs Gadi Schwartz is in San Bernardino this morning. Gadi, good morning. Reporter good morning. Federal investigators are the San Bernardino attacks. Now they are using resources to investigate the fire bomb of the mosque. In one case, that person has already been detained. Two weeks after the San Bernardino attacks, what appears to be retaliation at a mosque, less than 100 miles away. Someone fire bombing the house of worship in the cochella valley before the afternoon prthayers. We are peaceful people. Reporter state investigators are looking into the fire bombing and urging anyone to come forward with information. While in San Bernardino, divers back at it today searching for evidence. So far, we have seen two small objects recovered from the lake where the terrorist couple Syed Rizwan Farook and Tashfeen Malik are said to have visited the day of the shooting. This could be the place where you destroy evidence. Maybe a hard drive. Reporter the fbi not saying what they recovered so far, if it is a hard drive, it could that could yield important information. Reporter the fbi focusing the investigation on the farooks friend enrique marquez. Sources telling nbc news that marquez supplied the two assault rifles to farook and shared news over an attack that was scuttled in 2012. We learned marquez is married to a ukrainian woman that his mother said she did not know about. And his boss said he had no idea marquez was a muslim. Last time i noticed this was not a mosque. Reporter and for a community trying to heal, tensions remain high. Two more funerals scheduled for today. Marquez has not been charged with a crime or named a suspect. Meantime, the search of the lake thank you, gadi. Meanwhile, president obama is set to give update on the radical extremists when he makes a rare trip to the pentagon on monday. We have Kristen Welker with more. Reporter he is aiming to step up the fight against isis as he meets on monday at pentagon. This comes in the wake of paris and San Bernardino and as the president has come under criticism for not being tough enough against isis. The National Security council with secretary of state and secretary of defense will update mr. Obama. The president spent 100 Additional Special ops forces in syria. The defense secretary ash carter indicated this week the u. S. Will be building more abilities on friday, josh earnest was asked if mondays meeting is a indication of strategy is changing. He says we will see what the meeting reveals. The president is set to make remarks after the meeting. Kristen welker, thank you. And to the race for the president. Donald trump is campaigning in new york city at the plaza hotel. Later in the day, he traveled to iowa for a rally where he took on a surging competitor, ted cruz. Everything i say, he agrees with me. No matter what i say. I was going to do one really wild, but he agrees. With the ethanol, he has to come a long way. Oil pays for him a lot money. Applause. Who are the people who want to see donald trump as the next president . We sent katy tur to the rally to fichnd out. We will build a wall. Reporter first things first, Trump Supporters like one thing. I like how he tells it how it is. If you are full of crap, you are full of crap. I heard he is like fifth grade vocabulary. You understand what he is saying. Reporter they say they are angry, fed up and trump is their only answer. Im tired of the republicans and democrats. I hope he can turn around. Reporter polling done shows most supporters are older, white, male with a High School Degree or less. About onethird are evangelicals. Few identify as conservative and many say the American Dream they know is gone. Are regular folks. You figure you are part of the crazy frenzy in the country . No. Regular person. Really boring. Reporter not all of donald Trump Supporters agree with everything he says, but they do believe and this is in south carolina, in new hampshire, in iowa, arizona, alabama, you name it, they say they dont have to agree with him because they trust him. They believe in Donald Trumps own words that hell make this country great again. For today, katy tur, nbc news, des moines, iowa. Lawrence odonnell is host of the last word on msnbc. Good to have you with us this morning. Good to be here. Ro we heard from the supporters with katy tur. What would you say is the overriding reason for his success . More of the politics of fear we talked about or the fact he is simply saying things whether they be wildly outlandish or remember he rose in the polls before any of this new environment of fear that we have been living in for the last month. It is because the republican field is weak. If there is a dominate ing candidate in the republican field, this could not happen. If you look at the democratic side, there is a dominant candidate. Hillary clinton. She is so dominant, she scared away others like the vice president. There is no dominant field here. That is the table he needed to see. That is what he needed to see before he jump in. That is now talk of a brokered convention. It comes around. It is usually fantasy. This time it is serious. It is . It is a serious possibility when you look at the mathematics of this. If you start to go into the voting booths now, it is unlikely anyone in the field would end up with the necessary you know, that is how it was in 1976 for the republicans. That is the last time it happened. You know, i got to say, as someone who sits through conventions and goes to them and covers them, i would not mind a brokered convention once in a while. For the excitement . They are the most boring things that happen in political theater, conventions. Networks cut back coverage because they are so boring. Networks would increase if you go in without a nominee. What is a bigger concern for the Republican Party this morning . Donald trump as independent or as a republican nominee . A zero possibility of donald trump as an independent. He is proud of the notion that 70 of his followers would join him as independent. That means 70 of his followers represent about 6 of the vote. Remember, republicans are not 50 of america. They are 28 of america. Of 28 , that is not a big number. You are getting something smaller if you go as independent. If he runs as independent, every day, the republicans are saying, a vote for donald trump is a vote for hillary clinton. They would use that ralph nader model in which that turned out to be true. I will shift gear. You came became from malaysia. This is something i have been doing. It is called kids in need of desks. We raised over 9 million. We bring desks to african schools where kids and teachers have never seen desks. This wasnt my idea. I asked teachers what they need. Every one of them said desks and chairs. We need a more serious education environment in the classrooms. That is what we are doing. We provide scholarships for girls. Graduation rate as it is for bok ys. That is all part of the Michelle Obama with the worldwide idea of supporting girls education. I appreciate you being here this morning. Lawrence odonnell, you can see on msnbc. Com.

Regardless, many say this is not the time given recent events nor the place for the group to make its point. This morning, organizers with a mock shooting adjacent to the university of texas. After ut called it potential criminal trespass. It is not a university or student event. The pro gun event organizers goal is to education people on the dangers of socalled gun schools. We hope to get the point across these gun free zones are target rich environments. Reporter at the time of real shootings, San Bernardino and paris, are strong wounds.

Do you have a dream of riding off in the sunset of the end of your career . For most of us, it happens at the ages of 65. One couple is walking away at the ripe old age of 33. An incredible story and begs two questions. How did they do it . And can the rest of us do it too . As the saying goes, some live to work. Others work to live. But nick and liz in their late 20s, are working toward retirement. The Software Engineer and Communications Specialist time at the 9 00 to 5 00 than enjoying their lives. We realized if we did not change things, we would blink and we would be 50. So they crafted an ambitious plan to retire early. Really early. We planned at age 33 to never our life. To do it, they became self described frugal weirdos. You think of the three items. Housing, transportation and food. We look at every line item. No spending is safe. They socked away 71 of the take home salary in 2014. They are on track to save more this year. How . No splurging on fancy meals. We went out to dinner twice. And we cook at home. Bought a piece of clothing . Oh, 17 months ago. Trips to the salon. Never. Let me tell you the first time she said you give me a haircut. I thought oh, man. He thought this was going to be the end. They do enjoy traveling, but figured out how to do that frugally. We look for where it is cheapest to fly. They own their boston townhouse with hand me downs. Nick bikes to work. It is not just for fashion. They only need one family car. Its the same one liz learned to drive 19 years ago and has 206,000 miles on it. We see no reason to buy a new car when we have a car that works perfectly fine. Let me tell you, it is so affordable to insure. A new expense. Liz is expecting any day. I have a 17 month old. I had no idea before we were having a child. Everyone has baby clothes they are looking to get out of their basement. Wonderful. And we have hand me downs for every part of her nursery. If all goes as planned, they will have plenty of time to read and play. For liz, it is not just about saving aggressively to retire early, but it is about the kind of life they want to live. Buying things and consuming is not fulfilling. We dont derive happiness from material possessions. And the big congrats to the couple. They had a little girl here about a month ago. Congratulations to them. Yeah. Let me tell you, they make it look easier than it is. Yeah. If i could go halfway, do you know what i mean . We may not go all the way. We can learn something. They are so disciplined. They have been for a long time. He talked about how cheap he was in college. Going out to eat so much. I really like to go out to eat.

A risk of strong storms in the middle of the country and record warm temperatures. Temperatures running about 15 to nearly 30 degrees above average. Chicago should make it to 60 today. Here is through the middle of the country where we could have a slight risk of stronger storms and large hail. Also the possibility of isolated tornadoes through oklahoma and most of central texas. Especially later on tonight. Now in the Pacific Northwest, it has been day after day of storms streaming off the pacific. We are looking at the chance of 5 to 7 inches of rain. In the mountains, we are looking at up to 1 foot or more of snow. Muchneeded snow. We could see snow in denver today. Sunshine and clouds throughout the afternoon. Todays High Temperature 63. No sign of december, no sign of winter either. Get out and enjoy temperatures about 20 degrees above average. Maybe some drizzle by tomorrow afternoon. Still mild, though, on monday. Turning now to the extreme weather we have been experiencing this winter. It is a tale of two coasts. Warm and dry on the east. Cold and snowy in the west. Who better to explain that than dylan. Could it be more opposite than last year . A total role reversal here. While the unseasonably warm weather takes its toll on the northeast. Skiers out west are getting an early Christmas Present with some resorts getting 24 inches of fresh powder in 24 hours. It was one for the record books. By this time last year, buffalo was already buried under snow. Up to 6 feet of snow fell in parts of western new york. Most of that falling in a 24hour period. New england . 3 feet. Its not just me. Even hardy new englanders say the storm hit way too early and they are right. Throughout the northeast, ski resorts ahead of schedule. This is day two of the snow and ice here in forest lake, mitennesota. Fast forward to this year. It is like weather whiplash. Buffalo without a trace. Breaking a 116yearold record for lack of snow this late in the season. Temperatures in the eastern 2 3 of the country, above average. Ski resorts seeing green. And not the good kind. Change or become more seasonal so we can get a product out and the facility open. You know it is bad when im anxious for the snow and cold. I have a closet full of winter coats and it is too warm to wear them. While on the west coast, it is a completely different story. Last year, folk were begging for snow. We have been praying for snow. The strangest season i have ever experienced. Look at all the dirt on the slopes. There are hardly any skiers. And now . So much powder its like white gold. I think it is over 60 inches at mammoth. That is onethird the amount of all of last year. If we keep this up, we will have an amazing season. We could use snow on the east coast. You say that now, but be careful what you wish for. Everyone wants to know are we going to get slammed in january and february . January and february always arent pretty. It will not be that bad through december. For the west coast, continuing the pattern they are in and for us, continuing our pattern. And the end of january and february is when the pattern shifts. By then, we can see spring. Spring is in sight. Last year, i was traveling five months. I checked off two months now. I can handle three months. No one is happier than dylan dreyer.
