>> reporter: good morning. president obama's handling of the war against isis has set off a fierce political storm here at home, with former mayor rudy giuliani lashing out again overnight. challenging the president on both his approach and his patriotism. >> he apologizes for america, he criticizes america. >> reporter: rudy giuliani defiantly thursday. >> i'm right about this, i have no doubt about it. >> reporter: responding to criticism after he told republican donors i do not believe that the president loves america. he wasn't brought up the way you were brought up and i was brought up to love of this country. thursday morning giuliani appeared to dial it back a little. >> patriot i'm sure. i do hear him criticize america much more often than other american presidents. >> reporter: thursday night the former new york mayor doubled down, dredging up old campaign charges about the obama's former chicago minister reverend wright. even maligning the president's grandfather, a world war ii

veteran. >> you can fight in world war ii and you introduce someone to a communist. >> reporter: his blast unrelenting and personal. >> he has gone abroad and criticized us over and over. apologize usment it embarrasses me. >> reporter: earlier the white house fired back saying mr. giuliani test drove this during his fleeting 2007 run for the presidency. some republicans considering a run for the presidency in 2016 piled on. louisiana governor bobby jindal said the president has shown himself completely unable to speak the truth about the nature of the threat from these isis terrorist terrorists. and wisconsin's governor refused to disagree. >> the mayor can speak for himself. i'm not going to comment. he can speak for himself. i love america. >> and there is more. in an interview with new york times giuliani rejects suggestions that his criticism of the president is racist. saying that the president was

brought up, his words, by a white mother and grandfather and went to white schools and learned most of this from white people adding this isn't racism, it's socialism or anti-colonialism. the white house does not want to add fuel to this fire. others point out plenty of speeches where the president has praised america and criticized islamic terrorists. >> andrea mitchell in washington, thank you. let's turn to chuck todd. good morning. let's get to the substance of this issue. aside from the back and forth we heard about. this goes to the president's somewhat controversial stance not to use the words islamic terrorism or islamic extremism. what is his argument for that and what are opponents saying? there is a substantive issue here. >> there is. the president believes and he said it a couple of times this week at this summit on violent extremism, he believes if you call it islamic extremism it plays into isis' hands, that

what isis wants to do is say that the west and america have declared war on islam and that this will help them recruit, help them create sort of a holy war which is what isis wants. now, the president's critics are saying not as inelegantly as rudy giuliani but they are essentially saying that hey, you got to call this what it is. this is a radical strain of islam, that -- and if you don't call it that, then you're not putting the pressure on supposed moderate leaders, muslim leaders, to essentially weed out this extremism on their end. of course all of this you know, having what were turned into a cable news fight, all of this they are not dealing with the two bigger issues here, right, which is what are these some of these allies who aren't very much into freedoms, who have actually over the years quietly had people feed and fund some of these terrorist groups, think

about the gulf states or the fact that western europe has ghettoized muslims. so we're having this bizarre fight on the sidelines and not confronting the two reasons why you could argue isis has risen. >> there's a lot here to unpack. chuck todd, i know you'll do that sunday on "meet the press." thank you so much. >> natalie is here with a new push against isis. >> big developments, iraq now planning to launch a major offensive to retake the city of mosul from islamic state militants. according to a senior official the united states will back those evidents with air strikes and possibly ground troops, as many as 20,000 iraqi military and kurdish forces could be involved in the operation this spring and if the needed, u.s. ground forces including special operations, could be involved. president obama has said in recent weeks he would be willing to authorize such a move if necessary. >> new details on the super bug outbreak at ucla medical center

that has been linked to the death of two people. one of the victims was a 48-year-old transplant patient. doctors notified 200 patients about possible exposure to the bacteria cre after an investigation connected the bacterial infections to instruments used in a special kind of endoscopy. in a statement the maker of the scope says it is adding more education materials to its decontamination guidelines and it's monitoring concerns closely. >> we have good news on a story we told you about on thursday. seven dogs in a minivan when it was stolen from a chicago neighborhood have been found and all have been reunited with their owners. police say on wednesday a doggy daycare employee was using the van to take the dogs home when two men got in the van and took off. it was caught by a surveillance camera. at least one of the men allegedly had a gun. the search still on for the suspects. >> officials in india want to

set the record straight, they say the tree that president obama planted there three weeks ago is not dead, it happens to look dead. the tree was awash in leaves when the president planted it. now, though, it's just a single lonely stem. the lack of leaves has been giving officials sleepless nights. the reality they often lose their leaves this time of year. the tree, however, is in good health. >> sure about that? >> unique looking. i know a lot more about the trees now. >> natalie, thanks. back out to al in miami? >> that's right. it's 42 degrees here but nowhere near as cold as what you have. as we look at the "today" map we're seeing the beginning of that winter storm in the midsection of the country. we're looking at plenty of sunshine, out west along the west coast, with temperatures a lot more moderate and we expect to see the sunshine in the northeast but it is brutally cold. that's what's going on.

we're going to get to your local forecast coming up in the next 30 seconds. recast in the next 30 seconds. 7:0, happy friday. you made it to the end of the week. spectacular finish to the day but plenty of low clouds to start. warm sunshine between 12:00 and 3:00 and more of it for you today. temps will jump out of the 50s into the 70s if you're wondering about those weekend numbers, two different sides to the weekend. saturday into sunday temperatures are going to drop like a rock. we're also going to bring you more cloud cover, so if you're looking for sunshine and warmth

saturday is your day for outdoor plans, slight chance for showers monday, more in moments. guys i know 42 degrees doesn't seem cold but when you are in miami, you are expecting things just a little warmer. i'm not going to complain. >> no, no. it seems cold. it seems warm to us. thank you, al. >> i turned the heater on. willie has pangs of guilt after getting carson out in the cold weather. >> my man. >> the eggs are starting to freeze over. the breakfast item that did freeze is the iphone. this thing shutdown. it is saying iphone needs to -- it's too cold. >> the water is hanging in there. >> there it is. look at that. >> it is cold. look at these guys. >> you guys are hardy souls. >> it feels like negative 16.

>> first your local weather. hey nice game today. thanks. juicy fruit? sure i'll try a piec.... juicy fruit. so sweet you can't help but chew.

a very good friday morning to you. 7:26. i'm laura garcia-cannon. police say more arrests may be coming in the shooting death of a popular security guard in san jose. yesterday officers arested two men, one has a criminal history. last saturday manny zuniga and another security guard were working at a club in east san jose. they responded to a robbery at a nearby liquor store, someone opened fire, killing uniga. fire fight is overnight had o-to-use the jaws of life to open the doors of a bushing auto repair shop. it started around 2:00 a.m. crews managed to stop the fire before it spread to other areas. the fire damaged several vehicles. if you don't yet know, here's your wake-up call in a sense.

the 415 area code the new 628 area code overlays the same area of san francisco and marin. the 415s it means dialing 1, plus ten digits for the phone calls. if you dial the seven digits your call will not be reconnected. you have to retry and retry again. it will get into a habit, people have to get used to it. >> sure enough i'm sure they will. similar to the fog around the bay area. good morning to you. mt. hamily to be nice sunny sky above the cloud deck. it take a while for the low clouds to burn off. murky start here in san jose expecting the sun to shine here by 10:00 a.m. you have to wait until lunch time in the city. temperatures noticeably warmer later on today. 71 degrees in the tri valley 71 degrees today on the peninsula with the change coming your way. as get get into the weekend shower activity expected late sunday into monday better chances as we head throughout the end of next week. chris teena, it's friday but

we have heavy volume of traffic west 92 into some of the low cloud cover and fog potentially around the bay. i believe the crash over here south 880 at dakota toward the dumb barton bridge causes backups to 92. some folks might choose to avoid that and use the 92 crossing there just to get some of the backup. the crash at dakota is off to the shoulder out of lanes but a distraction. the south bay has a build for the northbound direction, fog los gatos hills no other drama. >> don't want the drama. another update in half an hour. we'll see you then.

long used babysitting to make a little walking around money, but a 15-year-old here in new york city is looking to make a lot more than that after starting her own venture in babysitting. in many ways no one minces like any other teenager girl. >> i still have a lot of homework, and go to sleepovers and go to movies. >> but this freshman also happens to have a lucrative business, matching nannies with families and babysitters. so lucrative, in fact the 15-year-old who started the business when she was 12 recently stepped aside hiring a 26-year-old ceo when she could no longer handle the demand and juggle school. >> at the end of eighth grade, i started to realize i wasn't doing the business justice by putting in so many hours because the hours weren't quality hours. >> i can't imagine what i was doing when i was 14/15, but once you meet her and talk to her, it

felt like i was talking to someone a lot older. >> noah began by giving her own mom guidance when their family's babysitter wasn't a good match. she started getting the same kid perspectives to family friends in search of sinners. and nannies by noa took off. >> as a divorced father of two children, i had problems getting a babysitter. knowing the needs of nannies and babysitters of children in new york city it's sort of like a perfect fit. >> n tooa charges 15% of a gross salary ranging from $50,000 to $80,000. >> from a young age, i worked at a lemonade stand for me. go big or go home. this is probably my most successful venture yet. >> and noa is joining us here in studio now. good to see you. >> thank you for having me. >> so tell me how this was born. you don't like your babysitter and say, mom, i need someone new. she says you go frigid her and you did. >> i did. i realized agencies didn't understood what that real new

york nanny was. it is not a qualification. it is not something you can see in a personality. it is really a vibe you get and i knew what that vibe was, so i helped my mom and family friends who had bragging rights. >> what kind of reactions do you get? we talked to people whether are satisfied and like your service. they say they talk to you on the monoand you sound like a businesswoman and they go what? you're 15 years old. >> people who met me i always assure people i'm a businesswoman. i noknow what i'm doing and learned a lot. i think people trust me and it vouched for how we have been, they have been pleased with our nannies. >> if i'm a parent at home and hope to get a babysitter for $10 an hour how do we come to you instead? >> we do an extensive screening, more so than other agencies and none of the other agencies are run by a kid or the vision didn't come from a kid. we also look at the nanny and

take into account the nanny vibe in new york. so we take that into consideration. and i also think that i know what kids want not just what the parents want but i think it is important we focus on the kids, too. >> a final quick question i have a 5-year-old and 7-year-old, how soon can someone be over tonight? >> for a one-time job, three hours. >> see you tonight. >> thank you. >> noa, congratulations. >> thank you. and coming up giada is live with italian favorites to whip up tonight. she and al are having fun, but first this is "today" on nbc.

the wife knows the husband is cheating in some states she can actually sue for damages? she can get money? >> i mean imagine that. >> let's move. >> you're going to do that move to north carolina. there's a law that you can -- something call alienation of affection which is a very lady like way of saying what we're really talking about. you stole my spouse and i want money. >> who do you sue? the person who seduced? >> the seductress. >> the slut! let's call it what it is. >> that's not really a legal term. >> judge judy says it is. >> defer to judge judy. this involves caring for an elderly parent. my mother is in another state in a nursing home. one of my siblings has power of attorney and refuses to allow my mother to visit me out of spite. is my only recourse a lawsuit? >> you know that's a tough situation. something called a power of

attorney is a piece of paper you ought to have your parents think about. you ought to think about it. give someone permission to take good care of you. i use it with my own mother help her with banking. in this case listen to the question. the person is saying my mother is not allowed to go out of state from a nursing home to visit me. maybe it's spite. maybe it's not really safe or healthy for the mom to travel out of state. but in almost all cases the sibling with the power of attorney really does get the final vote. going to court to change that you really need to see like abuse or neglect, something really serious. >> can they the power of attorney keep that person from coming to her state and visiting her? >> i don't know what the amount of power is here but doesn't that sound like a fairer compromise? >> yeah. remember we saw the whole thing with casey casem's family where they wouldn't let the kids -- the stepmother wouldn't let the real children visit. >> that was a vicious court battle. it is expensive and in the end just a tragic -- nobody wins. you can go to court. doesn't mean you should. >> the next question this

involves a small business. my neighbor friend has a business for which i hired them to power wash my house. they damaged my vinyl siding by not properly rinsing the cleaner and they used it and caused lightened streaks on my tan siding. i paid $125 but ima he not able to resolve this with them. >> three words. small claims court. every state, exactly for things like this. you can sue for up to a couple thousand dollars. she should go to her state's website, check out the details and have someone read the paperwork first to make sure the claim is good. but one more suggestion. the power of yelp. if she goes to her neighbor and says i'm contemplating a one-star yelp review but perhaps we can negotiate a deal that will personally have me refrain refraining from saying something negative online. it is a threat but it is the beginning of a negotiation. it is not even in court. it is just another way to communicate with someone without having to sue. >> but it might be enough. who wants to go through that. >> i want to ask more but we don't have time!
