11:01 am
it is good to be back with you for this second hour of "chris jansing reports." ahead this hour, the welcome surprise from the december jobs report showing the u.s. labor market closed out 2023 with a bang. plus, former blade runner, oscar pistorius out on parole after serving almost a decade in prison for murdering his girlfriend. how her family is responding. the latest from iowa where that horrific school shooting has rocked the community of perry. new reporting on how the school's principal acted to save his students. and house democrats and their push to get supreme court justice clarence thomas off the key 2024 ballot. our nbc news reporters are following all of the latest developments. we begin with that new jobs report. nbc senior business report
11:02 am
christine roman is with us. give us the big adnes. >> look, it was a sol i woul - solid end to the year, 216 new jobs in december. they eected the job market to keep slowing because of the fed rate increases, and the jobless rate steadying near this 50-year low level of 3.7%. you saw strong hiring in health care and the government, leisure and hospitality which has been a big driver over the past couple of years, and pretty important as well, you saw wages up 4.1%. what does that mean? that means the paycheck is growing faster than the grocery bill. you've got consumer inflation at 3.1% to end the year, maybe that's something that people can start to feel better about the economy into this new year because as you know, chris, these strong numbers on the economy this year have not been translating into most of the consumer sentiment polls, only recently have consumers said
11:03 am
they have been feeling better about things. nearly a decade after he was imprisoned more murder, the former olympian known as the blade runner, oscar pistorius is out on parole. ellison barber is following that story for us. what do we know about the conditions of his release? >> reporter: yeah, so the conditions for parole, they are pretty strict. oscar pistorius will be required to be confined to his home for certain hours every day, and all of these conditions for parole last until 2029. that is when his sentence would have ended. he served nine years of a 13-year sentence. in addition to having to be in his home during certain hours, he's not allowed to leave after 8:00 p.m. he's not allowed to drink. he's not allowed to use controlled substances. he's not allowed to give any media interviews, and he is required to have therapy. he is required to have courses around anger management, and also attend classes and
11:04 am
participate in a program related to gender-based violence. all of that is, again, going to last until 2029 in south africa, under south africa law, anyone who is an offender is eligible for parole after they have served half of their sentence. at the same time, that is not making the fact that he is out any easier for reeva steenkamp's family. in a statement today her mother said in part that while she, her family, loved ones knew that parole was possible, they understand this is the way the justice system in south africa works, and they support, she also said in her statement today that ultimately there is no justice when your loved one is gone. and she said that she, the survivors around reeva, her family, they are the ones that are serving a life sentence because of what happened here. chris. >> ellison barber, thank you. now to the shooting in iowa where we are just learning that the daughter of the school's principal says he tried to distract the shooter so the
11:05 am
students could run. nbc campaign is reporting outside mercy medical center, one of two hospitals that responded to the shooting. we know the principal was hurt. how is he doing, what else do we know about the people that were hurt in this shooting? >> reporter: what we know is that principal dan mar burger is in stable condition. he's the school administrator that was wounded in the attack alongside four other students and his daughter in a facebook post provided a little more details about his condition. she said he spent much of thursday in the operating room in surgery, but is now in stable condition. she laid out exactly what led up to the shooting. she said when the 17-year-old shooter opened fire in the school's cafeteria it was her father who approached him and attempted to deescalate the
11:06 am
situation to give others the opportunity to leave the cafeteria. mercy one medical center is one of two hospitals that responded to this incident. it's a level two trauma center. they saw two of the victims. the remaining three were transported about a mile away to unity point methodist medical center. that's a level one trauma center, so victims with more serious injuries were likely transported there. as of today, representatives from both hospitals say they are treating some victims, but it's unclear exactly how many. what is clear, though, chris, is that the community is still reel from an attack that in the words of governor kim reynolds has shaken the state to its core. there was a vigil held at wise park in perry, iowa, the location where many students were first reunited with their family. emotions were high when they gathered there last night. hundreds gathered. pastors delivered messages of hope and community in both english and spanish. nbc attended that candlelight vigil and spoke to some students
11:07 am
who say they were friends with one of their classmates who got shot. here's how they say they are processing this attack. >> i had a close friend that got shot. honestly, like hearing that scares me a lot. not knowing how he is right now, just knowing that he's in the hospital. when i found out, i was shaking. >> reporter: chris, schools in perry today were closed. they did offering counseling services that were in need of additional support. as far as the investigation into the gunman, investigators are working to determine a motive. some friends and classmates of the shooter told nbc that he was relentlessly bullied. authorities have not reached the conclusion that that was the motive behind the attack. >> thank you very much. now to calls from house
11:08 am
democrats who are urging clarence thomas to recuse himself from the trump colorado ballot case. ryan nobles is on capitol hill for us. who's leading this effort, and what are their arguments? >> well, the lead author of this letter to the supreme court and to clarence thomas specifically is hank johnson of georgia. he joins around a dozen other members of the house democratic caucus who are urging clarence thomas to step down from any case that has to do with donald trump being denied access to the ballot for the presidential election because of a violation of the 14th amendment. of course that section, section 3 of the 14th amendment says that you can not run for office in the united states if you participated in an insurrection, and of course we've seen these cases play out throughout the country. most cases have allowed trump to stay on the ballot. in colorado and maine, they said he needed to be removed.
11:09 am
these house democrats are saying that clarence thomas because of his close association with the former president and his movement, the conservative movement in general could not be a fair arbiter of this case, particularly the role that his wife, ginni thomas has played as it relates to questions regarding the 2020 election, and she stating publicly that she believes the race was stolen from donald trump, despite a lack of evidence. to be clear, chris, this is not going to go anywhere. the supreme court is a co-equal branch of government. they do not answer to members of congress as it relates to how they make their decision making process. so there is no chance that clarence thomas would recuse himself from these cases, and less chance they would recuse himself based on the recommendation from a group of house democrats. this is an effort to make it clear from their perspective they're watching how this decision making process plays itself out, and they expect clarence thomas to look at the law as it relates to the case,
11:10 am
and make a fair decision. we'll have to see if it comes to that point, if and when the supreme court hears the challenges. >> ryan nobles, thank you. coming up, president biden about to make a major speech on democracy. the historic stop he made along the way in 60 seconds. way in 60. but...he wasn't. gain flings with oxi boost and febreze.

11:11 am
president biden absorbing the history at valley forge before he delivers a pivotal speech nearby later this afternoon. he stopped to take part in a wreath laying ceremony at the national memorial arch, erected to commemorate general george washington's arrival at the site in 1777. the president is hoping the historic backdrop will drive home the central message of today's speech, that democracy is at stake now just as it was during the revolutionary war. douglas brinkley is a presidential historian, and he joins me now. it's good to see you, doug. president biden has been making
11:12 am
this argument for a while now. arguing that donald trump is a threat to democracy. how do you see him invoking history? and the backdrop of valley forge as a way to breakthrough to people that maybe he hasn't convinced yet. >> well, you know, chris, it's really the beyond me lies donald trump strategy and it's going to be the main theme of 2024 for joe biden. let's recall that on september 1st of 2022, he went to independence hall, also in the greater, you know, in philadelphia and eastern pennsylvania with the symbolism of it, and the democrats did well in the midterms. and so he's going to ride this theme that you may not like me, i may not be the perfect president, but your alternative's likely to be donald trump. and remember also joe biden follows a lot of what barack obama does, and people don't realize or remember, really,
11:13 am
obama's first inaugural ended with valley forge. in that great speech by obama, he talked about thomas payne's letter about the light of freedom, and, you know, how washington had payne's letter read to the troops another valley forge. so evoking valley forge has been part of the obama/biden, modus operandi for quite a while. >> the symbolism is understandable. these are pictures we're just getting in of the president and first lady, headquarters there. you know, george washington did unite americans during a tough winter of the revolutionary war. but i'm also reminded of a more recent presidential precedent, jimmy carter's famous or some may say infamous malaise speech where he said the erosion of confidence in the future is threatening to destroy the social and political fabric of america. now, i wonder if we're closer to that mood than what washington
11:14 am
faced in 1777? >> chris, what a great question, and i was thinking about that exact speech of carter's earlier. look, there is no path for reelection for joe biden without pennsylvania. so it makes perfect sense he's doing this at valley forge. he's then going to charleston for mother emanuel ame church. it helps energize black voters in south carolina and beyond, but i worry that he's not the happy warrior, you look at presidential history, and people like theodore roosevelt or fdr, john f. kennedy, ronald reagan, were always selling optimism, better days are here to come. the message of biden is like carter's, if you don't elect me, really bad things are going to happen to the country want, that we may become fascist, an authoritarian state, democracy could die. i don't know if that moves
11:15 am
voters as much as the economic message. you began your broadcast with the great jobs report. if i were biden's speech writer, i would plug in that the economy is really starting to rebound. we're not heading into a recession, and take that positive note, but january 3rd is here. it's the third-year anniversary, and he would be remiss if he wasn't talking about what a threat nativism is to our country. >> and obviously january 6th tomorrow was his first plan for this speech, which got moved to today because of the weather. this president, who is known to be a student of history, routinely meets with historians and others to discuss the big picture of his legacy, existential threats to the country. but when you're living through a period that arguably has no historical precedent, how does that help you? does it help you? >> it only reminds you that you have a lot of american flags behind you. you have the power of air force
11:16 am
one when you travel. you remind people that you're a president and part of a continuum of freedom fighters and democracy folks, but i worry that there's a lot going on, and i hope, you know, people are wondering, what is going on with israel and gaza, what is happening in iraq, why aren't we getting money to defend, you know, help ukraine thwart russia. what are you doing about climate change right now? i think that will all come in due time, but he wants to do this sort of patriotic backdrop today to just remind people. remember, the keystone state, this is a key constituency that he's getting great coverage in the philadelphia area, and history, tourism is big there, and valley forge is one of the most memorable moments in american history, like d-day or
11:17 am
selma or appmatics. i don't think you can go wrong by launching at valley forge like this, but it's going to be a one-day news story. it's not going to live in eternity what he says here. >> as you well know, it is rare. george washington was successful. abraham lincoln was successful. ronald reagan was successful, but it is rare to have a speech where it lives in history, right, where people can quote it they learn about it in their history class. this second we got some of the quotes from the speech, so i'm going to ask you to put your best selling author, your incredible writing skills to work here and let me know what you think of this. this is what the president is planning to say. the mob that attacked the capitol on january 6th, waving trump flags and confederate flags stormed right past the portrait, the image of george washington gave them no pause, but it should have.
11:18 am
the artist who painted the portrait memorialized this moment because he said it was one of the highest moral lessons ever given to the world. george washington was at the height of his power having just defeated the most powerful empire on earth. he could have held on to that power as long as he wanted but that wasn't the america he and the american troops of valley forge had fought for. what do you think of that? >> i think it's a very well written sentiment, and of course very true. i mean, we honor george washington for a lot of things, but one thing in particular is that he stepped down. i mean, they begged washington after two terms to serve a third term, and washington said it won't be a democracy. i'll be a tyrant if i keep clinging to power even if the people want me. so biden is reminding people of what happened on january 6th, and the way that donald trump behaved reprehensibly, that he encouraged a mob and an
11:19 am
insurrection. he's been, you know, it's a smart way and very well written of connecting why the washington tradition and peaceful transition from president to president matters. >> douglas brinkley, it's always a pleasure to have you on the program. thank you so much. i want to go now to nbc's mike memoli in blue bell, pennsylvania, near valley forge where the president will soon speak, and i see your with josh shapiro who has supported, stumping for president biden already. take it away. >> reporter: and the governor and i we were just in fact reading. so excerpts of the president's remarks here, and governor, as you were reading those excerpts, you remember the president was here talking about the economy. that's what most of his events have been out. why is now the time to talk about democracy? >> it's always the time to talk about democracy and freedom. we have been talking about that since valley forge, and in some
11:20 am
cases before that with william penn, and throughout generations, pennsylvanians have had a special relationship with freedom and democracy from franklin to cecil b. moore, and now to the electorate over the last couple of election cycles where pennsylvanians have shown up to defend democracy, defeat extremism. i think this is a natural conversation for the president to have. i'm glad he chose pennsylvania here in the valley forge area to have this conversation with the american people. >> reporter: we understand the president is going to be introduced by a local official, just won in a republican county. was the first democrat to win his office since the civil war. you yourself just won an election in 2022 against an election denier. is this a message that can win over swing voters and republican voters, given what we have seen about their views of january 6th? >> i get that people here in pennsylvania and the american people, they're worried about a lot of things right now. and i think that's what you're getting at in the heart of your
11:21 am
question, worried abdomen rising costs, they shouldn't have to also worry about their democracy and freedom. the fact is that is at the underpinning of everything we do. you've got to have a healthy democracy. you've got to have access to real freedom in order to make progress on those other issues. we've got to work on these issues, focus on these issues. i never hesitate to talk about real freedom and democracy. i'm glad the president is doing the same thing. we have seen people in pennsylvania rise up time and time again through multiple generations and talk directly about how we value and cherish our freedom and vote that way. >> reporter: it feels like the president is always in pennsylvania. we know this is an important battleground state. are you comfortable with how the campaign is proceeding, the pace it's proceeding, and should he be going to other swing states? >> there's no denying pennsylvania is the swingiest of all swing states, and i don't think it's a stretch to say as pennsylvania goes so will go the
11:22 am
outcome of this presidential election. don't know that for sure but history would suggest that. i'm glad he's spending time here, focused on freedom and democracy. i'll welcome the president back anytime. >> reporter: the governor talking about joe biden, used to be the third senator from pennsylvania, we'll see and hear from him in the next hour. thank you, governor, for joining us. >> mike memoli, governor josh shapiro, thank you both. we've got breaking news, the long time head of the nra, wayne lapierre, has just announced his resignation. the nra posted this statement, quote, i've been a card-carrying member of this organization for most of my adult life, and i will never stop supporting the nra and its fight to defend second amendment freedom. my passion for our cause burns as deeply as ever. the 74-year-old citing health reasons as his motivation for leaving. his resignation will take effect january 31st.
11:23 am
by my calculation, he has headed that powerful organization for 32 years. this resignation comes as he prepares to face trial in a corruption case brought by new york attorney general letitia james. ron desantis and nikki haley ramping up their attacks on donald trump, but with just ten days left until iowa votes, what can it accomplish really? that's next.

11:28 am
ron desantis and nikki haley are ratcheting up their attacks on donald trump in dueling town halls, the two republicans took what the "washington post" calls a departure from the overall dynamic of the race in iowa in which trump's rivals have largely been assailing each other. it sound like you're saying republican voters can't trust donald trump. >> what i'm saying is if you've run before, promised things, didn't deliver, and then you're running on the same things, wouldn't it be reasonable to say, well, gee, i don't know that i can take that to the bank going forward. so, yes, i think the fact that he's campaigning on something, that does not mean that he would actually follow through on it. >> i personally think president trump was the right president at the right time. i agree with a lot of his policies but the reality is rightly or wrongly, chaos follows him and we all know that's true. chaos follows him.
11:29 am
and we can't have a country in disarray, and a world on fire, and go through four more years of chaos. we won't survive it. >> nbc's vaughn hillyard is on the ground for us in iowa, mark mckinnon is a former adviser to george b. bush and john mccain. haley has been in the race, desantis, they're more forcefully going after trump. is it way too little, too late? >> the good news for candidates is iowa waits until the last moment to make up their minds, and moves quickly in big numbers. we have seen ted cruz surprised, mike huckabee surprised. iowa often has surprises. like i said, they really pay attention. and they don't make up their mind at the last midnight
11:30 am
. >> anybody who's been to an iowa caucus, it can get a little wild. vaughn, how is the trump team responding to all of this. >>. >> reporter: the allure of being the trump alternative is tantalizing for other republicans not named donald trump for eight years now. for donald trump and their team over the years, they have watched others consider presidential runs and ultimately choose not to. he watched his own vice president run against him, and drop out months ago. when it comes to nikki haley and ron desantis, he has gone on the offense against ron desantis consistently, but has really held off on nikki haley over the better course of the last year, callinger bird brain now and th. in the last couple of days, they have turned their attention toward her. i want to let you see a statement from trump adviser talking about ron desantis and nikki haley saying in part, quote, we will still smack ron around because why not. we don't really see her as a
11:31 am
threat. we understand that the donors are going to try and proffer up. back to the idea of being the trump alternative. for trump and his campaign, it would not be the worst thing in the world to have ron desantis come in second place, and nikki in and third, and both going to new hampshire, duking it out for second place. >> nikki haley has been struggling to find a way to get past a couple of guests. you never know what's going to stick with voters. there were her controversial comments on the civil war and slavery, and then another remark that has seemed to strike a nerve with iowa voters. let me play this. >> what you said about the primary process that while iowa goes first, new hampshire, quote, corrects it. >> oh, my gosh. >> ron desantis said that was incredibly disrespectful to iowans, and of course we are here in iowa. i'm just looking around at people's faces. okay. so is there anything else you would like to say. >> look, we have done 150 plus
11:32 am
town halls. you got to have some fun, too. keep in mind, i'm from an early state. we banter against each other on different things. new hampshire makes fun of iowa, iowa makes fun of south carolina. it's what we do. >> mark, you know how these things work. a candidate makes a controversial comment, the campaign hunkers down in the war room. they all try to figure out what's the best way to respond. on a scale of 1 to 10, how did she respond? >> that's a 3. not helpful. she's had a couple of tough moments in the last week, great momentum coming out of the debates. she's caught fire. killing it in new hampshire, trying to take advantage, and that blew back over to iowa. listen, you know, ron desantis is the guy that's got a place in iowa or he's cooked. so i mean, there's really three headlines out of iowa. trump crushes, i think the only mistake that trump has made is
11:33 am
elevated expectations. he lost iowa last time so he hasn't taken for granted. that's smart. desantis runs a smart second. which would not be a surprise really, because he spent the resources, been to all 99 counties or nikki haley runs second, which would be a surprise, and i think a big story for her coming. but those are the three stories that we're looking forward to. >> you didn't mention vivek ramaswamy, obviously way down in the polls, but he just sold $33 million in shares of his company to help fund his campaign. what's he going to buy with that? >> well, they say there's three tickets out of iowa, and i don't think that 33 million shares of any company that vivek owns is going to get him a ticket out. >> vaughn hillyard, mark mckinnon, something to look forward to ten days from now. we appreciate it, gentlemen. the mayor of new york is suing over migrants bussed in from texas, the nine-figure

join the millions of people taking back their privacy by downloading duckduckgo on all your devices today. a new front is opening in the war between new york city and texas over migrants. mayor eric adams announced his administration has sued 17 bus companies for carrying out texas governor greg abbott's plan to send tens of thousands of migrants to new york. the city is seeking more than $700 million in damages, roughly
11:39 am
the amount adam says new york has already spent caring for migrants. >> governor abbott's continued use of migrants as political pawns is not only chaotic and inhumane, but makes clear he puts politics over people. today's lawsuit should serve as a warning to all of those who break the law in this way. >> nbc's julia ainsley is following this story. also paul butler, former federal prosecutor, professor at georgetown law, and msnbc legal analyst. walk us through what this lawsuit says, julia and how governor abbott is responding. >> it might seem farfetched to go after the bus company rather than texas itself but this is just the latest in a string of actions that new york mayor eric adams is trying to take to be reimbursed. he's gone through the federal government to get more money. hasn't got as much as he says he needs. we know he signed an executive order saying where buses could
11:40 am
go and drop off migrants and how they needed a heads up on when they might be coming and they say texas has not complied with that. he's suing the bus companies, the charter buses paid for by texas. texas governor greg abbott completely dismissed this saying it was baseless. in a statement, here's what he had to say. th lawsuit is baseless. mayor adams says nothing about the commerce claus, if the mayor persists in the lawsuit he may be held accountable for his violations. strong words. he's now sent over 90,000 migrants to cities like new york, boston, chicago, l.a. and others. >> julia, thank you for that. okay, paul, governor abbott says, invokes the constitution, every migrant bussed or flown to new york did so voluntarily, and they have a constitutional right to travel. what does the law say?
11:41 am
>> chris, this is kind of a reach by mayor adams, he would love to sue governor abbott himself, but state officials have immunity from this kind of litigation. new york is relying on this old state law to go after the bus companies. the problem is that law has not been enforced since 1941. that's when the supreme court said people have a constitutional right to travel between the states. at the time, a lot of states had these laws that tried to prevent poor people from moving to their state to obtain welfare benefits, but now those laws are unconstitutional. anyway, the bus companies are dropping off the migrants in new jersey to evade those other regulations that julia mentioned. the bus companies will argue that even if the law is constitutional, it doesn't apply to them because they're not actually bringing people to the state of new york. >> well, they're not actually bringing people to the state of new york, and, i mean, do they
11:42 am
have any liability. let's say they did bring them to new york, they're being hired to bring people to drive them somewhere. that seems to a lot of folks to be maybe a step beyond what makes common sense. not that the law is always common sense. >> mayor adams is represented by a prestigious law firm that will make arguments like the one you mentioned. they might claim the constitutional right to travel doesn't apply to non-citizens. we'll have to see how a court decides that issue. i expect the suit will ultimately be dismissed. maybe on the ground that the law is unconstitutional or a court could find the law doesn't apply to bus companies because it's actually the governor who's responsible for bringing the migrants to new york. new york city is also under the court order requiring the city to provide shelter to anyone in
11:43 am
need. mayor adams is also trying to get that requirement lifted, chris, at the moment it still applies. >> it's a morass. paul butler, thank you. good to see you, my friend. still to come, israel unveils its next phase in the gaza war. the idf spokesperson sat down with my colleague raf sanchez. that's coming up live from tel aviv, next. aviv, next ♪♪ ♪♪ ♪♪ ♪♪ ♪♪ right now get a free footlong at subway. like the new deli heroes. buy one footlong in the app, get one free. it's a pretty big deal. kinda like me. order in the subway app today.
