>> reporter: the president-elect making official his announcement to nominate retired general james "mad dog" mattis to lead the department of defense. >> mad dog right? >> reporter: and hes and him to join with trump on stage as the crowd chanted mad dog. this as trump picked a new fight with an american company. trump tweeting, boeing is building a brand-new 747 air force one for future presidents, but costs are out of control. more than $4 billion. cancel order. then at trump tower, taking the fight to the airwaves. >> well, the plane is totally out of control. i think it's ridiculous. i think boeing is doing a little bit of a number. we want boeing to make a lot of money, but not that much money. >> reporter: bloomberg reporting boeing executives reached out to the trump transition team after the tweet, expressing the costs could be lowered if the government reduces its requirements, and trump announcing a new deal and taking

credit for a massive investment from japanese billionaire, masayoshi son. appearing with him at trump tower. >> he has pledged he is going to put $50 billion into the united states because of our victory. he wasn't investing in your country. $50 billion. 50,000 jobs. 50,000 jobs he's going to be investing in. he's a great guy. >> reporter: but so far, trump providing no details of when or where those jobs are going. now, we also want to mention that president-elect trump's national security adviser, general michael flynn, well, hs son has been asked to leave the transition team. this after he promoted a fake news story on twitter, implicating in that d.c. shooting at that pizzeria and told the call to get rid of flynn came all the way from the top, from the president-elect himself.

george. >> okay, tom, thanks very much. let's talk about it with matthew dowd, jon karl, matt, let me begin with you. so, it's pretty clear that the president-elect is signaling a new way of doing business with businesses naming and shaming them when he has to, embracing them when he can as well. what are the implications? >> well, i think first of all we have no idea what his broad economic policy is, but i think it's very interesting he's sort of been picking the winners and losers. much of what president obama was criticized by conservatives for. he seems like he's monty hall on "let's make a deal" figuring out which ones he wants and shaming those he thinks are doing bad and rewarding those he thinks are doing well. in the end, they have to be tested on truth or consequences. what he does and how it really impacts the economy. >> that's the end, jon karl. in the short-term, helping him? >> what voters see is see him doing these symbolic gestures, exactly along the lines of what he campaigned for, bringing jobs to america, fighting government waste with the -- >> the fine print backs it up. >> huge questions about all of these, but there's a new bloomberg poll out showing his

approval rating at the highest point ever throughout the entire campaign. he is now more popular. it's only 50%, low by the standards, of new presidents, but higher. but 55% of the country saying they're optimistic about a trump presidency. >> had president obama come in 2008 at about 78%. some concerning that poll about president-elect trump and his businesses. >> yes. the poll shows clearly two-thirds of the public says he has to choose between being president and being the head of his company. but the poll also shows that the public is optimistic he will do just that, and they know this is a very critical issue. that's a real vulnerability for trump. if he is seen as having conflict of interest, you will see big -- you'll see that approval number come way down and that's why he's divested. he says from all his public stock holdings and there will be a big announcement next week about his business. >> matthew dowd, how far does he go with that announcement next week of walling himself off from

the businesses? >> well, i think one of the questions is is how long are the conservatives and the republicans in congress going to give donald trump a pass? right now, they're giving him a lot of leeway to go in this direction that seems much like an obama-type economic policy than a republican economic policy on trade, on taxes, on businesses and all of that. that is the real fundamental question is, will conservatives keep giving him a pass on going against traditionally conservative policy. >> a lot of big questions ahead. thank you both very much. all right, george. we'll move onto those protests overnight at texas a&m. thousands upset over an apparent white nationalist leader. "nightline" anchor, juju chang spoke with the man at the center of the controversy and she joins us from college station, texas. good morning, juju. >> reporter: good morning to you, robin. tempers flared on campus with crowds chanting "say no the hate." in fact, the protesters far outweighed the few supporters of richard spencer's extreme racial views. he is the white nationalist who told us that it is donald trump who has catapulted his movement into the national spotlight. [ chanting ]

tensions running high overnight at texas a&m as thousands came out to protest this man. >> white people are ruling right now. white people have tremendous amount of power. >> reporter: richard spencer claims he's not a white supremacist. credited with coining the term alt-right, he is credited with the creation of an all-white ethno state. going viral last month after this video of him shouting, hail trump, hail victory. after his policy event gave the nazi salute. >> hail trump. >> reporter: spencer a racial extremist with controversy views of racial differences drowned out by protesters in college station, texas, the vast majority of his audience was there in protest. with multiple outbursts and clashes erupting during his speech. >> no fighting. >> reporter: security had to intervene to de-escalate several volatile exchanges. at one point, police in riot gear entered the student union,

but none of the hostility took spencer off message. >> what i find fascinating -- i see myself as mainstream. i want to be mainstream. i want to be part of an elite. >> reporter: are you trying to normalize racism? >> yes, i'm trying to normal racism as you call it, absolutely i'm trying to normalize my ideas. our ideas of the alt-right. i do not want the alt-right to be a fringe movement. i want the alt-right to be a dominant movement. >> reporter: texas a&m, you should know did not invite richard spencer, it was a former student who did that. even though they denounce his views they say once the room was booked they felt they had to adhere to his first amendment rights of freedom of speech. robin? >> i know you'll have more of your interview with richard spencer tonight on "nightline." can you give us a little more of a sense of what he talks about? >> reporter: we went back and forth on his controversial views. we talks about creating an all white ethno-state.

i asked if he is playing with fire when using the nazi salute, and he discredits it as ironic and fun. but there's a lot to dig into. >> many will be watching you tonight on "nightline." thank you, juju. >> that's some explanation. >> no doubt. let's turn to new orleans where a murder trial is under way for the person who shot former nfl star will smith in a road rage incident. abc's ryan smith is here with more and, ryan, it was pretty powerful to see a saints teammate show up in support. >> you're right, michael. it was incredible to see drew brees and others at the trial of cardell hayes. accused of guping down smigunni hayes in april. he is charged with second degree and attempted murder claiming that he feared for his life. he is pleading not guilty. this morning, the man accused of gunning down former nfl star and super bowl winner, will smith, in a deadly case of road rage, on trial. teammates of the former new orleans saint including star quarterback drew brees, running back deuce mcallister and roman

smith was a caring person. prosecutors are expected to call experts on traffic collisions sooner. if convicted of murder, hayes faces life in prison. >> tough case. >> thank you. moving on to the latest on that oakland warehouse fire. investigators say a refrigerator or another electrical appliance could have sparked the blaze. we're getting a new look inside the building before it burst into flames. abc's kayna whitworth is on the scene in oakland. >> reporter: this morning, officials are examining a refrigerator as well as other electrical items inside the warehouse as possible causes for the massive inferno. all but one of the 36 victims has been identified as we learn more details about those deplorable living conditions inside the ghost ship warehouse. >> it was a hell hole. it was a death trap. >> reporter: shelly mac says she lived there five months taking this video before the fire showing crumbling walls and endless clutter. and one of those staircases, dimly lit and difficult to navigate. the building was permitted for use only as a warehouse, not for housing.

the city had received at least six complaints about the property in the last two years. including a police raid this past october. >> reporter: property manager, derick almena, offering this -- an apology. >> what else do i have to say? >> reporter: refusing to say whether or not he should be held accountable. authorities feeling most of the victims died of smoke inhalat n inhalation. those trapped sending text messages to loved ones saying good-bye. >> we found a lot of victims in the wreckage here that were holding each other and caring for each other as they waited to die. >> reporter: so, officials were able to recover several cell phones from inside the warehouse the night of the fire. and they contain pictures and video that are helping investigators put together a timeline, and george, this loss so catastrophic, they are calling it a state of emergency. >> i bet they have. hearing about the techs is just

is behind bars, charged with manslaughter. >> two people engaged in bad behavior that day. >> reporter: the sheriff slamming those who criticized him for not immediately arresting gasser, who police say had admitted to shooting mcknight right away. >> we have a very forward leaning, stand your ground, self-defense justifiable homicide laws that creates for us, an obligation to make sure that we get it right. >> reporter: the sheriff arguing that the four-day wait for the arrest was for a reason, allowing investigators to question gasser without a lawyer present and giving other critical witnesses time to come forward. >> mr. gasser never did ask for an attorney. we have over ten hours of noncustodial interviews with him. if people don't think that we know what we're doing strategically, tough. i don't care. >> reporter: but some members of the community, not buying it. do you trust the sheriff? >> no, i don't.

no, i don't. and that's just going to show how divided we are. >> reporter: the sheriff saying the deadly confrontation wasn't about race but started when mcknight allegedly cut gasser off driving on a bridge and gasser then sets out after mcknight. the two drivers tailing each other for miles, and the surveillance video just a mile from the shooting scene, you can see the two vehicles matching the description of mcknight's silver suv and gasser's blue car speeding through a turn. minutes later, the two stopping at this light, and police say mcknight, boxing in gasser's car, both arguing through open windows until police say mcknight got out of his suv, leaning down toward gasser's passenger window. >> mr. gasser pulls his weapon and fires three shots at joe mcknight, killing him. >> reporter: police finding three shell casings and blood in gasser's car according to multiple sources. it was not the first time gasser had been involved in a road rage incident. abc news learning he was arrested ten years ago for

punching another driver at a gas station at this same intersection. charges were later dropped. the sheriff saying gasser claims mcknight threatened him while the two were arguing, but we're told that witnesses contradict parts of his statement. gasser has not entered a plea, george. >> thank you very much. let's bring in our legal team. dan abrams and nancy grace. and the sheriff facing some criticism, but firing right back. >> i don't know that the sheriff has done himself a lot of favors with his press conference, but with that said the end result here is probably the right one dealt in the right way meaning you don't necessarily want to charge someone from the moment you begin the investigation. that would then be used against them later, and the fact he is charging him with manslaughter versus murder, i think is also helpful. we have seen in a lot of these cases, the tendency to overcharge. >> here we go with overcharge. >> look at -- have you not seen it? >> well, you've been saying that for i know ten years that

doesn't make it so. i think is totally bass ackwards. you don't shoot somebody and then let them out of jail. that's not how it works, so i don't know where your theory is coming from. >> i'll tell you. it's called an investigation. that's how it works. >> he confessed on the scene. here's the thing and all this about stand your ground, he, gasser is the pursuer. he's the one that chased mcknight down, and another thing. he is in his vehicle. if you look at the injuries according to the autopsy, mcknight is shot in the left hand which is defensive, the right shoulder, it pierced his lung, his kidney, his liver. there's no injury to gasser. >> isn't he in the vehicle? >> gasser being in the car actually hips his case because under louisiana law, he's going to argue that, i was trying to prevent him from getting into my car. >> and doing what? he was unarmed. it goes down to self-defense. gasser is armed. mcknight is not armed. i can't start an argument with you, george, and we're having a verbal confrontation. >> sure, you can.

>> and you shoot me or i shoot you with an uzi. sticks and stones, dan. break your bones. words don't count. >> do you agree that in a case like this where it's clear there was a fight that -- >> verbal altercation. like we're having now. >> correct. >> ooh, let me get my m-16 out in there. >> that a manslaughter charge is appropriate in a case like this? >> no, i think that -- hold on. premeditation under the law can be formed in an instant. the time it takes you to reach in your console, get a gun and peel off three shots, that is time for premeditation under the law. whether anybody likes it or not. >> and i think -- >> three shots on an unarmed man. it is a murder charge. >> they could have, and i think they were smart instead of looking for an actual conviction as opposed to -- >> you go down to new orleans and you make that argument. >> media headlines saying we charged him with murder and having to go to the jury and saying, you know what, jurors, we prefer to get manslaughter and then potentially risk getting an acquittal. >> every jury trial is a potential risk for an acquittal. >> how much does the incident ten years ago count against gasser?

>> i think it will come in at trial, and all this about it being a race hate crime, maybe it was, but remember. his first victim was a white male. right there, the same crescent city connecter. it is so identical. >> we'll see if he testifies. if he doesn't testify -- >> it's coming in. >> isn't he going to have to testify? >> probably. >> probably. >> but, you know, i mean, look, it depends on -- we'll learn a little more about what happens based on the physical evidence and what the eyewitnesses said. >> those charges were dropped too in 2006, but a bad act doesn't have to be a conviction to come in. >> i'm sure we'll be coming back on this. to michael. what's coming up on the big board? coming up on our big board, more on donald trump's twitter battle over air force one and why it really costs billions. plus, prince harry is in some hot water for visiting his american girlfriend. we'll tell you why when we come back in two minutes. s american girlfriend. we'll tell you why when we come back in two minutes. american girlfriend. we'll tell you why when we come back in two minutes. s american girlfriend. we'll tell you why when we come back in two minutes. s american girlfriend. we'll tell you why when we come

$2.7 billion. that number could go up or down. no contract yet for a new air force one. >> still a lot of money. >> yeah, that's still a lot of money. why does it cost so much? >> all right. let's start with strahan airlines. you want to buy a 747. it's $380 million list price, okay? boeing probably is going to knock some off that because they'll build it from scratch so say they knock off $50 million, $80 million. $300 million just for the airframe, okay? now, you want your options, right? come on in. i got some things for you. so the secret service and the air force want an aircraft that has superior defense systems that can ward off missile attacks or rocket attacks and they also want to have shielded against electromagnetic, and nuclear attacks. they want secure communications, uplink, downlink, and have to be able to refuel in midflight, and they will build all these

things, test them and add to the cost. could it be $500 million? $600 million a plane? are we talking $2 billion? $3 billion? who knows. could it get to $4 billion? it is the government. >> yeah, that's right. >> that doesn't sound so bad. >> when you look at that. tell us about it. you've been on it. >> we get to do a lot of cool stuff, right? this one is up here. the first time you fly they give you a certificate that says that you flew on air force once. we sit in the back. we never see the president unless he comes back to see us. the seats are better than economy. they're a little bigger. it's not quite business class. the crew is nice. you get the m&ms with the presidential seal. personally i'm a hot sauce guy so i have my little hot sauce with the presidential seal that came from air force one. it's cool. i will say this. i was in seattle working when they built the two air force ones flying now and the boeing workers and executives very proud that the president is flying in their aircraft. >> they've been in service for quite a few years, decades, haven't they? >> reporter: you're getting -- i think it was 30 years ago, robin, when i was working in seattle that those planes have been flying. yeah. they're at the end of their life.

they'll need to be replaced and they want a four-engine aircraft. it's the only american four-engine aircraft. >> it was only three years ago, not 30, my friend. up next, prince harry is under fire for extending a vacation with meghan markle following his official caribbean tour. the prince is now back in london today after breaking palace protocol by mixing business with pleasure and lama hasan joins us live from buckingham palace. and lama, we have been waiting for him to find love. he found love, and he did this all in love, so what is the pushback he is facing right now? >> reporter: yeah. exactly. he was doing it for love, and good morning to you, michael. here's why prince william's little jaunt to toronto have some people up in arms about it. prince harry was on an official 15-day, seven-country tour of the caribbean, a grueling tour i hasten to add all on behalf of the queen, all on official business and all great. now, the royal reporters who were covering the prince's tour

we're told by the palace all along that as soon as the tour ended, he was going to head straight back to london because he has official business here, so you have to make it back in time. in fact, this morning, as you rightly said, he is at a couple of charity events. well, now we know that prince harry made a slight 1,700-mile detour to toronto, which is, of course, where his girlfriend, meghan markle lives. so the question this morning, did he break palace protocol? well, buckingham palace insists that it actively discourages members of the royal family from mixing official business with private matters, and of course, this is a private matter. so who pays for it? well, the palace says this is -- the cost is going to be settled privately, so sounds like he will pay for it. what happens to the security who pays for that? it is us, the taxpayers. those are the questions asked today. >> it's a private matter but they're becoming more public. even meghan is becoming more public about their relationship. tell us about that. >> reporter: oh, absolutely,

robin. yes. there's one picture that i think says it all. it was snapped in the last 48 hours, and it was only in the last 24 hours that royal watchers saw what was on the gold necklace. it shows meghan markle walking down the street wearing a necklace with "m" and "h." those are their initials. that is a sign that this relationship is pretty serious. >> all right. you know what, maybe we'll be making a trip over to you to see you for the royal wedding if it ever happens. >> i'm here. >> we could fly with david on air force one. >> i knew that was coming. >> wrap it all up, put it all together. >> a nice big bow, thank you to you both. and coming up in two minutes, the queen of comedy, dominating this year's grammy nominations. have they finally cracked that glass ceiling? come on back.

and we are back now with news about parents. all the salary and hourlied american workers, four months paid leave and rebecca jarvis has the details. hey, rebecca. >> hey, george. good morning. a number of companies have been following this trend but this new change goes above and beyond most of what's out there and could improve time with a new baby for thousands of employees. >> everyone should have a place to call home.

>> reporter: it's the superstore best known for its ready to assemble furniture. >> at ikea we believe that everything you need should be within reach. >> reporter: ikea u.s. announcing a new hands-on option for both its salaried and hourly employees at the company. offering up to four months of paid parental leave for both mothers and fathers and adoptive and foster parents to ensure co-workers have the opportunity to bond with their children and connect as a new family. based on their time at ikea, employees can receive eight weeks full pay and another eight for bonding with their new child at 50% pay. in the u.s., some workers are legally permitted to take up to 12 weeks of unpaid leave, but there's no federal mandatory paid leave policy. ikea now joining the list of companies often in business and tech worlds with generous and parental leaves like netflix offering unlimited paid parental leave for salaried employs for up to a year.

and basic of america entitled full and part-time employees up to 16 weeks off. now ikea says this is about work/life balance improving the culture but is going to help them retain employees. you give employees benefits like this, they are much more inclined to stick around. plus, they'll have a little extra time to make the crib -- to fill it for the kids. >> that's true. >> let's talk to ericka souter from mom.me about it. you can sign up at ikea soon. this is important. the united states is one of the only developed countries that doesn't have a paid parental leave policy. >> that's right. >> ikea is stepping in. does it go far enough? >> motherhood hasn't been respected enough in companies to warrant this kind of leave. it's not a priority for companies, and this is probably one of the best policies that we've ever seen. and it's amazing when you consider that most people in this country don't have paid paternal/maternal leave and only

12% actually -- only 12% of people have it. so it's really great when a big company like this does something like this. you're opening that it sets the new standard and people follow that lead. >> wonderful that they're recognizing that families look different. they are talking about, if you have the child yourself, if you adopt a child or foster children, that's wonderful. because that's what we're seeing in society now. >> right. >> when you look at this policy and knowing what it is going to do, there is a stigma, some workers feel that they're a parent in the workplace. will this help with that? >> the parenting penalty is real. a lot of moms tell me when they get back to work, they feel the perception of their work ethic has changed. their path to promotion has changed and a lot of men are feeling it too. so a policy like this goes a long way in helping everyone feel that making this life change is important and cared about in their company. >> you don't think this is a good policy to have? [ applause ] i can't believe we're talking about it. all right. thank you both very much.

good morning. check out the transition from frost this morning to rain late afternoon through the evening and chancing of rain >> all right.of rain michael, let's head on back to you. >> all right. thank you, ginger. and now to a revolutionary way to treat traumatic brain injuries. athletes teaming up with veterans to fight the effects of concussions and ptsd. and they're already seeing major results. they are some of america's strongest, pillars of strength on the gridiron and on the front lines. but their battles have left thousands of veterans and pro athletes with traumatic brain injury. >> so once my nfl career ended the transition for me was rough knowing that this was it. my brain, i just couldn't fathom like what do i do next and for me that's where my problem started. >> so, the eisenhower center

in michigan paired veterans with ex-athletes in treatment and the hopes of building a path to recovery together. >> you don't know how bad you feel until you feel good and it's not unmanly. it's not being a sissy. you're not weak. you're just damaged and a damaged vehicle can be fixed. you're not broken. >> reporter: after four years of study, amazing results. the athletes and vets in treatment together saw improvements in depression, anxiety, ptsd and even pain. now for the first time the after the impact fund will help these groups to get treatment in their own dedicated facility in jacksonville, florida, opening early next year. >> what we're trying to do is help people who need help. it comes down to that. >> all right, and joining us now are three board members of the after the impact fund, matt burke, a former 15-year veteran of the nfl, retired u.s. army brigadier general rich gross and my first head coach with the giants, dan reeves. [ applause ] >> glad to be here.

>> nice to see you. and, coach, i want to start with you. you've been around the nfl for over four decades, and we saw mike ditka, nfl hall of famer in that piece. why are so many nfl legends coming together to help with this cause? >> well, it's something we need to find help for these guys. i played back in the '60s. we had an awful lot of guys that are really struggling right now with these issues we're talking about and we've got a place they can go for help and it gives them hope things can be better. >> and, matt, why a treatment facility that's for military veterans and nfl veterans? what do they have in common? >> well, if you look at football and military, the cultures are very similar. all the guys are tough, they're team oriented. they're mission driven so we found the last four years with this pilot program is that the two -- there's a mutual respect that they can build upon and support and inspire and encourage each other and, therefore, they heal stronger and heal better. >> brigadier general gross,

the military operates without all the fanfare of the nfl. you know, in certain ways so different but does it help the soldiers to know that some of the nfl players, these stars that they watched on tv, that they're going through some of the things that they're going through? >> it's a tremendous help. what we've seen is when you pair two football players together for the treatment, they do fairly well. you pair two veterans together, they do fairly well. but when you take a veteran and a football player, put them together, they open up more. they respond to the treatment better, and we've seen much better results faster and stronger results and it's just been an incredible experiment over the last four years, so we think going forward this is going to be the way to treat these young veterans and also these football players who are struggling with traumatic brain injury, ptsd and other things. >> how many guys do you have in your program right now? >> well, the facility will be able to accommodate 27 impatient facility for extended stays, comprehensive. we have neurocognitive, behavioral, ortho, pain and

also offer services to their families. sometimes that's the forgotten component when the ex-veteran or football player is struggling the effect it has on his wife and kids. so it's going to be a -- it's a comprehensive model we're obviously very excited about. >> now, if you're a soldier or you're an nfl vet, how do you reach out to this program? >> aftertheimpactfund.org is our website. you can find out all the information there. >> all right. well, you know what, thank you all for bringing light to this and thank you all for doing the work you're doing to help so many military vets and nfl vets. everybody needs a little help sometimes, and you guys are getting it done, so thank you so much. you know what, you guys, stay right there because when we come back, "star wars rogue one's" ben mendelsohn is here live. ♪
