Up a suspected bomb at a facility near the austin airport. This comes after a fifth bomb exploded early this morning at a fedex facility an hour south of the city. One worker suffered minor injuries. This is the latest in that string of bombings that have occurred over the past few weeks. Two people have died as a result. Police believe the explosionings are likely connected, possibly the work of a serial bomber. Nbcs Gabe Gutierrez is in boston where he has been following these developments. What right now can you tell us about whats about to happen with that latest device . Hi there, chris, good afternoon. Well, police say they are looking at this potential bomb, at a fedex facility near the austin airport. Let me paint a picture for you whats going on. According to the source briefed on the investigation, there are three active scenes right now. What investigators are looking at. One is that schertz facility near san antonio where there was that explosion overnight. Investigators ar
Take us behind the scenes. Still negotiating going on, but the deadline was midnight. Midnight is here. Reporter thats exactly right. I think its important to note, don, that its very clear that the deadline itself is arbitrary in terms of whats actually hatching on t happening on the snoot floenate. There have been intense negotiations, negotiations at the leader level from Mitch Mcconnell and Chuck Schumer, walked off the floor together, were pitching different ideas back and forth for a potential resolution to this. At one point im told democrats pitched the idea of keeping the government funded through january 29th. Why does that matter . Well, the state of the union is on january 30th. That was considered a nonstarter by republicans. It was rejected. What youre watching right now on the floor, if you look at that group thats cloistered in the middle of the floor right now, it is almost entirely democrats with senator Lindsey Graham, a republican, sitting at the center of them. Don
Trump. The thing would pass with republicans and democrats alike on the senate floor. It would pass with a majority of the members of the house of representatives, but they need the allclear sign from donald trump. Previously he had said the terms that he would accept, he spelled them out. Thats what durbin and graham negotiated to try to satisfy. They did, and then donald trump moved the goal post. So democrats and republicans on the hill need to hear what his new metrics are for what kind of daca deal he will accept. Is he going to insist, as was rumored, on 20 billion for a border wall . That was the rumor of what he was demanding in the meeting where he rejected the bipartisan deal last week. If thats what he wants, he should come on television at the stroke of midnight when the government shuts down and make his case for that to the American People. I think hell have a hard time making that case because in the campaign he said that wall was going to be paid for by the Mexican Gove
This was going. They are very upset because mike pompeo, first in his class in west point and top at his class at harvard, a brilliant and great guy and someone i get a long with very well. They thought they had him stopped. The democrats are obstructionists. Theyre not approving them and taking them out to the maximum 30 hours. Thats a lot of times. 30 hours to interview people that will be approved. 30 hours and people will vote. It is a disgrace. Sandra it is a big day for President Trumps cabinet on capitol hill. Jeff sessions and epa chief scott pruitt going before congress in what are expected to be a series of contentious hearings. We have Fox Team Coverage for you this morning. Peter doocy following those hearings on capitol hill. Charlie hurt standing by for reaction. We begin with chief White House Correspondent john roberts reporting live from the north lawn this morning. When was this decision made . Good morning to you. It was during an Oval Office Meeting with the preside
Health care option theyre promoting for families in need. We start here. As he arrived in europe for the nato summit, President Trump came out swinging at a breakfast for alliance leaders. I think its very sad when germany makes a massive oil and gas deal with russia where youre supposed to be guarding against russia and germany goes out and pays billions and billions a year to russia. We or protecting germany, protecting france, protecting all thooz countries. Ive been complaining about this from the time i got in. It should never have been allowed to have happened. Germany is totally controlled by russia. Meanwhile, the president just a few moments ago calling for nato countries to actually increase their defense spending commitments from from 2 to 4 . Trumps comments have left some wondering whether this is typical trump bluster or perhaps part of a larger strategy of some sort maybe. Others are starting to actually wonder if the 70yearold alliance can survive. Nbcs Geoff Bennett is
