there's no better board game to describe the risk? of a strategy that puts our battleships into trouble? sorry. >> that's the daily show's take on tuesday night's republican debate. donald trump, also making headlines for touting president eisenhower's 1950s deportation program to prove he can do the same. but does trump really want to be like ike? plus, threatening behavior. police make an arrest connected to the online warnings that caused panic at the university of missouri. and severe weather tears across the midwest. nearly a dozen tornadoes in one state. bill karins is tracking where the storm is headed next. it's 5:30 on the east coast, 2:30 out west, and this is "way too early."

good morning it's thursday, november 12th, i'm jonathan capehart. we'll have all those stories plus we're going to check in on actor shia labeouf who is holding a marathon viewing of his own movies. the video is from a livestream you can watch online of him watching movies of himself. right now they're watching cinematic classic "i robot." but first let's start with politics after taking up a sizable portion of tuesday night's debate, immigration continued to dominate the republican race for the white house. yesterday, after donald trump's appearance on "morning joe." >> tell me the how, are you going to have a massive deportation force? >> you're going to have a deportation force. and you're going to do it humanely -- >> how are you going to pay for this? >> very inexpensively -- >> are they going to get ripped out of their homes? >> they're going back where they came. if they came from a certain country they're going to be brought back to that country. that's the way it's supposed to

be. now they can come back but they have to come back legally. >> trump's comments about a deportation force drew strong reaction including from hillary clinton. she tweeted that quote the idea of tracking down and deporting 11 million people is absurd, inhumane and un-american, quote, no trump. trump also referred to what he says is a precedent for a mass deportation program. >> dwight eisenhower sent millions of people, 1.5 million at a half people out. let them go, they came back. let them go, they came back. let them go a third time, they came back. the fourth time he moved them all the way south. they didn't come back again. >> do you know what the program was called? >> i do, but i wouldn't use the term. i don't like the term. >> no, no -- >> the name of that program includes a racial slur against mexicans, which today many would find offensive. the operation which began in june of 1954 aimed to crack down on an estimated 3 million

laborers who had crossed into the country undocumented through mexico. now, according to a 2006 christian science monitor report eisenhower installed a west point classmate at the head of the immigration and naturalization service. the operation took tens of thousands into custody in six states, while hundreds of thousands reportedly left voluntarily. according to studies reviewed by "the washington post" some were left stranded without the resources to survive, with 88 dying of heatstroke during one transfer, and crammed -- cramped deportation boats resembling an 18th century slave ship. trump reacted to the accounts of this operation this way. >> eisenhower's 1952 deportation, that was at times anything but humane. they would drop immigrants off in the middle of the desert. 80 died of heatstroke. others were shipped off on cargo ships under hellish conditions. how would your plan be different? >> very humanely done. >> how? >> very important.

well it's a whole management thing. good management practices. >> but believe me when i tell you, mr. trump, that was brutal what they did to those people to kick them back. i mean, the stuff they did -- >> well -- >> -- was really brutal. it could never happen today. >> i've heard it both ways. i've heard -- >> no, no, you know me. >> i've heard good reports. i've heard bad reports. we would do it in a very humane way. let me tell you, truman also sent 3.5 million people out. so you have to check on that. truman before ike sent 3.5 million people out. >> now, on that truman claim, a 2010 fact check was unable to corroborate a chain e-mail claiming truman deported 2 million undocumented immigrants after world war ii. which experts said was unlikely. jeb bush picked up a high profile endorsement yesterday from former senate majority leader and republican presidential candidate bob dole. the 92-year-old dole has multiple ties to the political dynasties involved in the 2016

race. he ran against george h.w. bush for the gop nomination, not once, but twice. in 1980, and in 1988. and in 1996, when he finally became the republican nominee, bob dole ran against bill clinton in the general election. and yesterday, at the veterans days ceremonies at the world war ii memorial here in washington, dole explained his decision to endorse the son of his former rival. >> well, i endorse jeb bush today at the veterans day. i think he's the most qualified. and we need somebody with experience, and there are a lot of good candidates. i like nearly all of them. >> so great to see bob dole. bush meanwhile was back in iowa yesterday following the fourth republican debate. and at one point shared a chest bump with the man who said he was abandoning his role as a county co-chair for ted cruz and supporting bush instead. in between events bush

acknowledged his onstage performance in the debates has room for improvement. >> how did you feel about last night's performance? >> i'll do better. i thought it was fine. i did well. talked about issues that are important to people. we need to start thinking about how -- who's the person that can beat hillary clinton, rather than trying to get in to small differences between each campaign. >> and one of bush's main selling points seems to be that he can beat hillary clinton in a general election. here's how he responded to a question about marco rubio's chances against the democratic front-runner. >> can senator rubio beat secretary clinton? >> i'm a better bet. >> why? >> because i got a proven record. and i campaigned in a way that is -- that's based on that record and based on the ideas that i have. that are about the future. and i've been vetted. i've been tested. i'm an open book.

>> meanwhile, carly fiorina responded to hillary clinton laughing off a veteran's joke about the republican presidential candidate. the man told the story about working under fiorina at hewlett-packard that ended by suggesting he'd like to strangle the former ceo. >> i get laid off, there's 20,000 of us, we get laid off, right? she told us it was for cost-cutting. couple of months after we get laid off, 20,000 people, she bought two jets to fly executives around the country, instead of using commercial aircraft and she says she's a great ceo. every time i see her on tv i want to reach through and strangle her. you know, i know that doesn't sound very nice. >> i wouldn't mess with you. >> i can understand why someone who is laid off might feel badly about it. it was a very tough time. i think he has his facts wrong about the two corporate jets, but i understand that he might

be frustrated by that. it was a very tough time. and we had to make some tough calls to save 80,000 jobs. i think, you know, i don't take up garage with him. i don't even take umbrage with mrs. clinton. i do take umbrage with a clear double standard that exists in the media. if this had happened with a conservative candidate the liberal media would be all over us to correct him, to apologize and all the rest of it. >> it happened -- >> now to iraq and the fight against isis. this morning, kurdish forces have launched a new effort to retake the western town of sinjar. backed by u.s. air power kurdish officials say some 7500 peshmerga fighters are moving in hoping to cut off a major route that isis uses to move supplies between iraq and syria. the islamic state captured the city in august 2014, and an attempt to retake it stalled four months later. two college students in missouri have been arrested accused of making threats over social media. hunter park is facing charges after being accused of threatening black students and faculty at the university of

missouri. and in a separate incident a student at northwest missouri state university was also arrested after allegedly making threats against black people over social media. in the wake of all this, one yoort of missouri pro-facer dale brigham came under fire for e-mailing students saying they still have to go to class for an exam. he wrote, quote, if you give in to bullies, they win. brigham submitted the letter of resignation following an uproar over his e-mail. according to the local affiliate his resignation was not accepted. this fall racially charged incidents gave way to a hunger strike, protests, and the resignation of the school system's president and chancellor. and according to "the new york times." black students say even before this semester, quote, racial tensions were already woven into the fabric of everyday life. this morning the federal aviation administration is investigating several cases of lasers being pointed at planes and helicopters. just last night in new york city, two helicopter pilots reported seeing a green laser.

one belonged to a local news affiliate. the other the nypd. police did make an arrest but the faa says across the country there's been a dramatic increase in the number of laser strikes over the last ten years. being struck by a laser can cause a pilot to go temporarily blind. >> talking about a helicopter here that weighs almost two tons. imagine that coming down on your house because the pilot's vision is impaired. even more serious is if it was a jetliner. >> just last night in the dallas area, pilots of three different planes reported being hit by a laser beam. a similar situation also happened in san diego this week when a united airlines pilot reported seeing green lasers while trying to land. now, still ahead on "way too early," wigging out. donald trump says of course his hair is real. but wait until you hear what he says about hillary clinton's. plus -- >> it is vital to our national security interests that this

meeting proceed without incident. unfortunately we have intel that forces outside our control could strike. >> what is it, general? chechen separatists? isil? >> worse. wig. >> deleted scenes. . a look at the trump skit that was left on "snl's" cutting room floor. >> plus a check on the nasty storm that forecasters have dubbed the quote witch of november. when "way too early" comes right back. who wants to try? before earning enough cash back from bank of america to stir up the holidays,

where microsoft plans to offer european customers the option to store their data much closer to home. the u.s. based company will partner with deutsche telekom to offer cloud services from two german data centers starting next year. cnbc's steve sedgwick joins us live from london. now, steve, tell us more about this. >> well, jonathan, previously the data for european companies could have gone across the atlantic and been used by authorities over there and there are concerns, of course, following the edward snowden issues, at the national security agency and others are using european data so now businesses, in the financial and healthcare sector, businesses will have cloud centers in germany as you say in association with deutsche telekom to safeguard that data going overseas. elsewhere, apple, really kind of tanked so to speak on paypal and they're going to launch a peer-to-peer, person-to-person payment system and that's going to go right up against paypal. paypal shares were down 2%. of course apple pay is already having a nationwide and global

rollout. they've got a very big deal in the brewing sector for you jonathan. i don't know if you drink stella but they're going to be under the same stable, a $108 billion deal, ab inbeef and anheuser-busch buying sabmiller. they've overcome one by selling sabmiller stake in millercoors to coors brewery. >> i'm more of a stoli guy. steve sedgwick live from london. time now for sports and we begin with nba action out on the west coast. the clippers, d'andre jordan in his first visit to dallas since last summer's free agency fiasco that saw jordan re-sign with los angeles after already agreeing to join the mavericks. dallas fans booed jordan when he stepped onto the court, and some took time to express their displeasure. but the real attraction of the nature was the dirk nowitzki who put up a season high 31 points in the game. wesley matthews added 25 and the

mavericks beat the clippers 118-108 in orlando the lakers and the magic were all tied up with less than two seconds to play. >> everybody's on their feet in the amway center. vuckovich with the catch, he'll turn, fire! oh! >> he scores! >> magic! >> orlando's nick la vuckovich beats the buzzer with a turnaround jumper for a 101-99 magic win over the lakers. and a quick update on oklahoma -- oklahoma -- oklahoma city. the thunder star will miss the next seven to ten days after exiting tuesday's game against the wizards with a strained left hamstring. durant, who only appeared in 27 games last season because of multiple surgeries to repair a broken foot will be re-evaluated after the initial absence. and finally, to the nfl defensive lineman ndamukong

sioux is one of the league's highest paid and most intimidating players. but he also has a reputation for playing dirty. whether he's sacking the quarterback or stomping on an opposing player ooze also largely unapologetic. but after audio of him using profane language was heard on the telecast during sunday's game, suh has finally said he's sorry. >> i will apologize to my mother. i owe my mother apology for swearing on tv and in public. so i'm sorry, mother. >> did you hear from her about it? >> i did hear from her about it. >> moms always catch you. let's get a check on weather now with nbc meteorologist bill karins. >> good morning to you, jonathan. you see all these pictures out of the midwest yesterday from tornadoes to the snow that came out of the rockies into the plains and the blizzard conditions. very rough weather. and these were some pictures that were from areas of iowa all the way through chicago last night. we had some really nasty thunderstorms with some high winds. and that was really the big story was the winds, and you could see that semi just blowing right over. still at this hour some portions

of of interstate 80 through southern wyoming because of the blowing snow are still closed. let's get into the weather map. yesterday we had ten tornadoes. that's pretty impressive for november standard. thankfully a lot of them are the weaker time of tornadoes. we didn't have any of the big massive ones that take out a town. we didn't have any reports of any injuries or deaths. that's great. a lot of wind damage reports in the blue. about 126 wind damage reports so there's going to be some cleanup to be done. we're not done with the damage yet. the thunderstorm threat is over with. those have weakened. but the storm is now moving over lake michigan and the winds are howling. there's a lot of people on social media reporting from the des moines area through chicago that they just heard the wind all night long. just beating on their houses. it's like a tropical storm has been moving through. that's how strong the winds have been. we still have high wind warnings from mancato, from grand rapids to south bend, detroit, toledo, cleveland, buffalo, all cities with high wind warnings. that means major airport delays and cancellations. then we have advisories from the dakotas to new york. when you get advisories that means you get some strong gusts.

look at these current wind gusts, 49-mile-per-hour gusts in chicago. that's enough problem for some minor power outages. but jonathan, that's really the big story today. there's not a lot of other bad weather out there just the winds are howling in the great lakes. you can picture what that's doing to the morning commute. >> bill karins, thanks very much. still ahead, why watch a movie when you can watch the star of the movie watch his own movie? not one, but all of them. in reverse order. it's happening right now and the only question i have is, why shia, why? opportunity has no slow season. no off-days, or downtime. opportunity is everything you make of it. this winter, take advantage of our season's best offers on the latest generation of cadillacs. the 2016 cadillac srx. get this low-mileage lease from around $339 per month, or purchase with 0% apr financing.

time for a check on the morning's other headlines. for that we head to the control room with louis burgdorf. >> good morning, jonathan. let's begin with politics and prominent conservatives have a very serious question for hillary clinton, is that a wig? that's right the hair on the democratic presidential front-runner is a top story on the conservative website the drudge report. matt drudge, the site's creator and editor posted a series of tweets raising the conspiracy theory, including this one, asking human or synthetic? the topic also came in yesterday and radio host mark levin's interview with donald trump. >> hillary clinton, honestly, i don't know what her appeal is at all. do you? >> well, she has a new hairdo. did you notice that today? >> that's called a wig. >> is that a wig? >> i think it's a wig. nothing personal. look, i'm not against wigs. people can wear whatever they want. >> it's okay.

but you know, i tell you what, it really was shocking to see it. because, you're right, it must be -- it was massive. you know, her hair became massive. >> you know you're going to get in trouble now. >> i don't care. >> okay. >> but i don't care. >> clinton's hair stylist is laughing off the claims telling "people" magazine, quote, she has the most amazing hair in the world. and since we're on the topic of hair we haven't seen the last of donald trump on "saturday night live." because "snl" has just released a hilarious skit that was cut from the show for time. in scalp team 6 a secret ops unit is tasked with protecting a national vital security interest, president trump's coif during a meeting with vladimir putin. >> he's completely exposed out there. so we're sending you in to where we need it most. donald trump's hair. prepare to shrink.

>> shrunk to microscopic size, an elite team of super soldiers are responsible for protecting our nation's most valuable asset, donald trump's hair. they are scalp team 6. >> it's getting a little breezy out here, i'm not liking it. >> we're making our approach. >> big landing. >> okay, team. take the scalp. >> go, go, go, go. >> we've got to stimulate the perimeter. everybody grab a hair. now the wind is too strong. >> how we doing with that hair spray mccormick? >> not good. this is just medium hold. >> no one's heard from putin. i've got to tell you this is really windy. it's getting very, very uncomfortable. >> it's time for the last resort. >> what are we going to do? >> detonate this. >> what is that? dynamite? >> no.

it's l.a. look's hair gel. >> jonathan, you always need that l.a. looks hair gel. it comes in handy just when you need it. now finally, if you're looking for shia labeouf this morning he's easy to find. the actor is sitting in new york's angelica theater watching every movie he's ever appeared in in reverse chronological order while a camera attached to the seat in front of him broadcasts his reactions live on the internet. as of this very moment labeouf has been at this for about 37 hours and 55 minutes. he's watching "i robot" here. but he's going back to his role in even steven's movie. later this morning, jonathan, it just begs the question, why? >> yeah, why? >> why, shia, why? >> why do you do this? >> i guess it could be interesting to see an actor reacting to his performances. >> yeah, i mean, i robot was not a bad movie. but those others i've never heard of them and maybe one of the feelings he has is embarrassment. >> we'll see. we'll see how it goes. i'm going to go online right

after this and see what he's up to. >> right. all right, louis. that does it for me and louis and "way too early." coming up on "morning joe," donald trump is touting a controversial 1950s program as an immigration solution. but is it something we would -- we would put in place now? and ben carson warns students at liberty university about secular progressives, while also defending his foreign policy. that and much more coming up next on "morning joe." at ally bank no branches equals great rates. it's a fact. kind of like mute buttons equal danger.

...that sound good? not being on this phone call sounds good. it's not muted. was that you jason? it was geoffrey! it was jason. it could've been brenda. it's how i try to live... how i stay active. so i need nutrition... that won't weigh me down. for the nutrition you want without the calories you don't... introducing boost 100 calories. each delicious snack size drink gives you... 25 vitamins and minerals and 10 grams of protein. so it's big in nutrition and small in calories. i'm not about to swim in the slow lane. stay strong. stay active with boost®. this holiday, i can count on my going off list.again, and knowing right when my packages arrive.
