Strategy so far that the president s legal team is taking when it comes to this book, fire and fury. Hallie, it is a battle and war that is escalating by the minute. Just moments ago, as you said, we have confirmed that President Trumps legal team sent a cease and desist order to that book and the publisher. I have it right here in my hands. Let me read you a little bit of it, hallie. In your upcoming book, fire and fury we are identifying false and baseless statements that youre making about mr. Trump. Theyre essentially trying to get the publisher and author to hold off on publishing this. This follows a cease and desist order that was sent to steve bannon overnight. You have breached the agreement by communicating with author Michael Wolff disclosing confidential information and making disparaging and, in some cases, outright defamatory statements to mr. Wolff about mr. Trump, his family members and the company. Of course, some of the most inflammatory statements cited in that book
Trumps lawyers strategize with how to deal with the exNational Security advisor. Race in america. Why the nations minorities feel so alienated by President Trump and how that could change in the future. And the cold countdown to the new year, how frigid temperatures are setting records across the country. We begin with the fallout over President Trumps impromptu interview with the New York Times. Lets start with nbcs Garrett Haake whos following the president in west palm beach, florida. Garrett, there are reports that trump aides were out of the loop on this. What are you hearing . Reporter out of the loop almost entirely. This was the president at his golf club at the restaurant there chatting with folks who he knows and was introduced to this New York Times reporter who he had met once before and the interview started just like that. No prep, no staff, no one there to corroborate or guide the discussion or cut it off if it went off the rails. Part of this is interesting beyond the p
Attempt. Secret service and Police Officers rushed to the scene. They cleared that area and began an investigation. At one point, they found the vehicle he was driving in a couple blocks away from the white house. They used a bomb squad to check out the vehicle to make sure there was no problem with that vehicle. We do know there was an alabama plate on that vehicle before it was ultimately removed. And to answer your question, we dont know a whole lot about this individual other than hes a man. Secret service has identified him but they have not released that identity untail they can identify his next of kin. Nobody in the white house was in danger although the shooting took place hundreds of feet away from the front door of the white house. Of course, there was a barrier between where this man is and the white house. A large fence and then a bike rack, but still, a very scary moment. The president and the first lady not in the white house at the time. They were in florida. They have
Borderline bar and grill. This all took place in the middle of the night in thousand oaks. That is just northwest of los angeles. 10 to 15 other people wounded at this hour, being treated in the hospital, badly hurt from the melee as investigators are scrambling to identify the gunman and figure out a motive.

Sergeant ron helus. He was shot himself. He died of his wounds at a hospital shortly after. Hes being called a hero this morning. Ron was a hardworking, dedicated sheriffs sergeant. He was totally committed. He gave his all. And tonight, as i told his wife, he died a hero because he went he went in to save lives, to save other people. He took an enormous risk and gave the ultimate sacrifice. The scene inside that club is horrific. And the gunman also dead. Nick, i know you have been tal
Puts our students in far more danger. Its concealed. So this crazy man who walked in wouldnt even know who it is that has it. Thats good. Thats not bad. Thats good. And a teacher would have shot the hell out of him before he knew what happened. Good morning. Welcome to am joy. The good guy with a gun. Its something we heard for years from the nra, members and politicians they purchased. You heard it again this week after a 19yearold gun mran shmranman shot and killed 17 students and teachers in parkland, florida. Weve heard public outcry, thoughts and prayers, brief silence from the right and a roaring defense of guns followed by inaction from politicians and silence again. By the washington posts count even after losing 1,077 americans to Mass Shootings since 1966, many of them children, weve not imposed adequate laws to prevent massacres like the one in parkland. Despite the fact that polls have shown the American Public overwhelmingly supports sensible gun regulations. The nra has s
