Reporter mr. Trump denying his administration is in turmoil. The white house is running so smoothly, so smioothly. Reporter this team railing about an unidentified event in sweden.

Whats he been smoking. The officials not aware of any events and the embassy asking the state department to clarify mr. Trumps comments which he later did referring to a story on fox news, that report focusing on a blamed immigrants for terror in sweden. Meanwhile, new draft memos reveal how the president might crack down on undocumented immigrants in the u. S. Among the priorities detaining those captured at the boarders and deporting criminals.

President trump comes back to the white house tonight and hes likely to sign that new immigration executive order tomorrow. David cohen served as Department Director of the cia the last two years. Good morning. Good morning. No National Security advisor right now and many deputies have not been if there was an international incident, how equipped are we to handle that kind of incident . Were a month into this administration and the apparatus, the personnel that are necessary to handle not just the policy making, but also the response to potential crisis that may erupt, really isnt in place. Theres no National Security advisor. The team that Michael Flynn left behind in the National Security council is relatively weak. There are not nominees for most of the key positions in the agencies that support the National Security process. So i think theres a lot of work to get done by the president and his team to fill out that team and get the processes established. Well talk about some of the folks who might be filling those positions, but theres been talk of concern about these candidates about being able to put their ownst if the president would trust somebody enough to name them as National Security advisor, why wouldnt he trust them to make their own personnel decisions too . I think that the National Security advisor have the authority to put in place some of the people and replace am so of the people in place now so they have a team that they can trust. I think related to that is also this sort of strange organization in the white house now that is led by steve bannon that appears to be senior to the National Security council, the Strategic Initiatives group. Anyone coming in would want to understand they can put in place the team they need and how they relate to this steve bannon organization in the white house. Based on the generals that are being considered to replace Michael Flynn, what can we glean trumps National Security policy . Reporter well, President Trump seems to have an affinity for generals. The three individuals hes looking at are all senior retired military officers. He has senior retired military officers in other key positions in his administration right now. That seems to be what he feels comfortable with. I think a little bit of diversity of viewpoints could be useful, but each of those men have a good reputation. Former cia deputy director, thank you. As the president enters his second month in office, hes taking greater aim at the media. Our White House Correspondent mass th has that part of the story this morning. Reporter as a candidate President Trump often it was a way to fire up his political base, but now he finds its a tactic that still works. Over the weekend he fired up the rhetoric. As President Trump tries to reset the white house, hes lashing out against the media at a Campaign Style rally in florida. They have their own agenda and their agenda is not your agenda. Reporter the president criticized the press at least a half a dozen times escalating a fight. I want to speak to you without the filter of fake news. When the media lies to people, i will never, ever let them get away with it. Reporter the sharp barbs coming after mr. Trump set the stage in which the president called the press the enemy of t republican senator john mccain laid into the president. You have to have a free and many times adversarial press. Without it we would lose our freedom over time. Thats how dictators get started. We need to learn the lessons of history. Reporter some of the president s critics are raising alarm bells noting hes using similar language that president nixon used during the height of the watergate scandal. Never forget, the press is the enemy. The press is the enemy. Reporter at a press conference on thursday the president went after the media nine times blaming the press for badly treating his former National Security advisor Michael Flynn who trump fired last week. The strategy appears to be in full force with white house chief of staff Reince Priebus facing tough questions. Barack obama whined about fox news, but he never said we were the enemy of the people. Reporter the president repeating a line from the campaign trail claiming news organizations wont show off the size of his crowds despite doing so during the campaign and also his rally on live television.

Including this little girl. And what if this happened again . I was given warfarin in the hospital, but wondered, was this the best treatment for me . So i asked my doctor. And he recommended eliquis. Eliquis treats dvt and pe blood clots and reduces the risk of them happening again. Yes, eliquis treats dvt and pe blood clots. Eliquis also had significantly less major bleeding than the standard treatment. Both made me turn around my thinking. Dont stop eliquis unless your doctor tells you to. Eliquis can cause serious and in rare cases fatal bleeding. Dont take eliquis if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. If you had a spinal injection while on eliquis call your doctor right away if you have tingling, numbness, or muscle weakness. While taking eliquis, you may bruise more easily. And it may take longer than usual for bleeding to stop. Seek immediate medical care for sudden signs of bleeding, like unusual bruising. Eliquis may increase your bleeding risk if you take certain medicines. Tell your doctor about all planned medical or dental procedures. Eliquis treats dvt and pe blood clots.

Interesting stuff here. Reporter good morning. We did a joint investigation between nbc news and our stations across the country. We uncovered dozens of cases where Questionable Police Tactics were used on students, including elementaryaged children being placed in handcuffs. I like robotics. I really like science. Reporter a pretty smart kid. School usually isnt tough, but one day in second grade the bullies made it a night player. Reporter you were yelling at them to stop picking on them. Yeah. Reporter it was such a rough day, the teacher called his father. I walked in and my son is sitting like this and crying. My first thing is to try to get him to calm down. I was like why are you sitting like that. He goes like this. Reporter that was the first moment you saw the handcuffs. Yeah, like wow. Reporter according to an incident report the Security Officer says he was screaming and appeared to be out of control. Hurting himself. He was 7 years old and he reacted. Reporter his lawyer says it was an excessive use of force. Instead of trooying to talk him about what to do, he was put in handcuffs. Reporter when he put the handcuffs on, were you scared. I was scared, but i was mad. He was holding my hand tightly. That hurts reporter the incident is one of many we found where Grade School Kids end up in cuffs fueling the debate over the role of Security Officers in schools. Safety concerns have led 43 of schools to rely on security personnel, many of them police officers. Just a few miles down the road, officer with a gun and a vest. The last thing we want to do is handcuff or fight kids. We are here for safety. Reporter when theres a cop in school, students are more likely to be arrested and we found dozens of cases around the country of students facing juvenile charges for behavior that used to lead to detention or a note home. A child arrested for petty larceny over a carton of milk, a teen convicted of Disorderly Conduct for swearing. Children are being policed in hallways where theyre supposed to be learning. Reporter one senator worries about something called school to jail pipeline. If we are treating children children, way are we surprised when they start behaving the way we treat them. When kids play, what do they social the handcuffs with. The good guy wears the handcuffs and the good guy put the handcuffs on the bad guy. Reporter the data reveals another harsh truth. Students with disabilities are three times more likely to be reported and black students are three more times to be arrested then white students. Some kids get juvenile detention. Reporter getting this right is personal for dr. Mark bidel. Out of a family of eight, he was they ninth grade. He currently oversees calebs school, but wasnt in the job at the time of the incident. He believes School Police play a vital role, but their jobs need to be defined. Police officers have become the disciplinari disciplinarian. That shouldnt be the case. Reporter is it okay to handcuff a child . I have a 5yearold and i would lose my mind if she were to be handcuffed with something that could have been deescalated with trained school personnel. Reporter the child doesnt get handcuffed if the handcuffs arent in the school in the first place, correct . Correct. Its a conversation we need to have. Its something we have to do considering we cant afford to lose any more of these kids. We cant. Reporter the family is suing the School District for violating his constitutional rights. In court papers the district not violated and the incident was lawful. Regardless what we have learned is this is an issue that School Systems are struggling with around the country and there simple is no simple answer for it. I thought your question about having handcuffs in the school, its tough for a lot of folks to get their head around why you would need to handcuff a 6yearold. Reporter absolutely, but there are parents that are concerned after they see these shootings in school. Its a tough balance. We have more information on our website so head there.

This video mass been liked over 200,000 times on twitter. There was some concern for the rat online, but many were impressed with the girls skills. Eric said i would be lying if i said i didnt jump up with respect. You would think the rat learned its lesson . The story doesnt end there. Heres a message from the girls. We forget to put the trap away and the next morning we wake up, it literally came back in so it found the hole again and came back in and it was in the trap dead. It was the same rat or a different one, but were going to say it was the same girls said theyre not too thrilled about being known as the rat girls.

That must have made all of your friends just not trust you for like the next ten years. Wow. Yeah. Just classic. You actually say that writing comedy and horror, its not that big a jump from one to the other . Thats right.

This concept almost could have been a straight up comedy if you take the situation i was thinking in a reduced form, this would be a brilliant sketch that you might have written that just the idea of it and then it also works so well as a much more complex frightening movie. It does feel like you could change the music and get a full comedy out of it. If the characters could hear the music. Thats the big problem with horror movies. Any horror movie audience knows this. Any horror fan is like come on, get out the house. Call the cops. Get in a car. And go. And go. And go. Once people seem creepy, get out.

This m this morning a comfort casserole that kids and adultsd i hope so. We have an easy recipe and the secret ingredient is tator tots. This is my tator tot pie. It has veggies in it. Yes. This is a play on the way my mom made sheppards pie growing she put zucchini in there and ground turkey or lamb. Right here with olive oil we have beef and some paprika. If youre trying to season your beef properly, id say about a teaspoon of salt per pound of beef and it will get you in your zone. Youre going to cook that down for a few minutes until it looks like what kind of cheese is this. Havarriti cheese. Can you do other cheese. You can do sharp cheddar. Youre going to add some chicken or beef stock. It doesnt matter. When thats done, youll take it out of the pan and youll have a little fat left over. Here is the part my mom used to excel in which was getting the vegetables in. This is a freezer section buy i love. Its frozen peppers. Throws are already fired roasted in the freezer section. Its a store bought shortcut i love. You cook it down until its like this. Now here comes the fun part. Lets start layering. The ovens at 375 degrees. Get half the beef in. Just make a nice lower half layer. Then add a little bit of cheese. Like i said, it can be any cheese you want. You can do any version of the layers you want . Sn i like to use the cheese as spackle between the layers. It goes meat, cheese, cheese. Then go with the veggie layer. Then more cheese. Like a lasagna. Yeah. Usually with a sheppards pie we do mashed potatoes, but weve done enough cooking so these are tator tots. Cooked or not cooked. Not cooked. Put this in the oven . Yes, at 375.
