huge system that benefits from the pain of a lot of people in baltimore. >> thank you for joining us. you can find much more of our reporting, including extended interviews on our website at all in @msnbc.com. good night. after weeks of protest, discussion and debate, a draft is about to be released from the paris climate talks. will it be the break through that many are hoping for? under fire. organizers going ahead with a controversial drill just as students are taking final exams. the gloves are off. donald trump going after ted cruz on not one, but two fronts. what prompted the change in relations? if it feels like you're waiting forever for your holiday packages to arrive there's a reason for it.

good morning, everyone. welcome to "weekends with alex witt." here's what's happening. developing news out of paris this morning where world leaders have just released the latest draft of a potentially ground breaking plan to fight climate change. despite widespread protests. >> translator: they aren't mere climate definitions. this will serve major causes. food security and production. public health. combating poverty. essential rights and ultimately peace. >> well, msnbc national reporter is there for us. what is all in the new agreement. >> reporter: well, people are pouring through the report now. they'll vote in a matter of hours. they think they'll get a deal

done, but in the streets of paris not far from the arch protesters are gathering. they're rather celebratory, but angry. they don't think it goes enough to stave off catastrophic global warming. and after the terror attacks last month, they have been planning this in secret for days and we have some coverage from inside the planning. take a look. this is activism in the age of terror. in a city still traumatized by an isis gun spree last month. under a special three month state of emergency, even basic public demonstrations are against the law. the author and activist naomi klein calls it unprecedented. >> i have not seen anything like this it. even george bush did not ban protests after september 11th. >> reporter: a loose coalition plotted saturday's demonstrations in secrecy. sealing themselves for a police

reaction and guarding the place and time until a final moment. over my shoulder activists have taken over the abandoned building. they hope to open up 40 such squats over the next few weeks. but the police have cracked down. this is activism in what amounts to a state at war and the people inside have taken extraordinary precautions. they use burner phones and false papers, encrypted e-mail. when i took a tour, they locked my phone away in a bag and theirs in a microwave. >> we don't want a house arrest or detention or the police knowing what we're going to do in stopping this before it happens. >> reporter: ahmad guya is against the keystone pipeline and wall street largess, but he hasn't seen anything like paris today. >> this military police militarization to control demonstrations in mass numbers for basic marches is

unprecedented. >> reporter: another activist says his heart goes out to the victims of last month's terror attacks but the protests must go on. >> the fossil fuel industry that we're up against, they have money, power, and all that movements we have is people power. >> reporter: and as you can see there, a lot of careful preparation for this day and it seems so far that it's going to be peaceful. riot police are lining the route and local authorities gave the go ahead for this to happen. but they're taking precautions. they have block aided both ends of the street and if anyone moves out of the area, they will move in swiftly and they said they will not be friendly. >> so tony, we're having a little bit of trouble with your photo, your picture there. but i want to double-check. this is despite the protests the first time that all 190 countries in attendance are in agreement, right? it's first time because the kyoto accords back in '97 that

was only for wealthy countries. >> reporter: that's right. and we should be clear that this agreement has not yet been ratified. there's a vote in a few hours, a voice vote. the french foreign minister will stand before the countries of the world and he'll say do we have consensus? and if the room remains silent, if no one speaks then he'll ratify it, bang the gavel and the deal will be done. that will be a major, major historic moment. the first global agreement in the 25 years it's taken to get to this moment. but although the governments of the world seem happy ten miles from here, protesters in the streets here in paris are very upset because they don't think this agreement goes far enough. it continues to allow the countries of the world to burn oil, gas and coal and that contributes to the warming of the climate and that's the message here. system change, not climate change, alex. >> okay. glad you got your phone back too. thanks so much from paris. and for more on the paris talks and the devastating effects of climate change in the u.s. and across the world, you can go to msnbc.com. check out our in depth multimedia feature.

our old familiar globe is gone. new protests in chicago over the shooting death of 17-year-old laquan mcdonald by chicago police. last night, demonstrators called for the resignation of mayor rahm emanuel. the police dash cam was released in november and adam reese has more. i understand that laquan's family has spoken to the media and that was the first time they did that. that happened yesterday so what are they saying? >> reporter: good morning, alex. they say they're suffering but this they're grateful for the demonstrators who having coming out, calling for change at the police department, once again calling for anita alvarez to step down. in the hard hit neighborhood, they say where you see poverty you will see crime. also asking for a national summit on police brutality. >> the problem in the city of chicago, when an officer who is sworn to serve and to protect

can gun down a citizen for no other reason than that he was black, laquan mcdonald represents thousands of laquan mcdonalds. >> reporter: now, a group of about 20 community leaders keeping pressure on the mayor, circling city hall, seven times yesterday in a pro police rally that was planned for today here in chicago has been postponed. instead, organizers have said they want people to come out and thank officers on the beat. alex? >> adam, can i check in terms of largely peaceful, yes it's been loud, but have there been a lot of arrests or not? >> reporter: well, there have been very few arrests. there have been protests almost every day for the past two weeks since black friday when they marched down the magnificent mile. last night, there was a couple

scuffles between some civilians and some protesters. one civilian actually got out of his car and confronted one of the protesters. but the arrests have really been minimal. alex? >> okay. thank you so much. fbi investigators today will again send specialized divers into the san bernardino lake. they'll spend a third day looking for possible evidence linked to the killers which left 14 people dead. meanwhile, family members are can continuing to bury the people in the attack. morgan radford has the latest on the investigation. good morning, morgan. do authorities still think they'll find something in that lake? >> reporter: they do, alex, and they have. new questions and new details this morning as fbi investigators continue to comb through this lake right here behind me and today is entering the third day. now sources say that they have been able to recover some items from this lake.

although they would not specify exactly what. this lake has been searched for three days now and new questions circling around enrique marquez. he converted to islam and his mother and neighbor didn't know exactly what was happening. now, on the day of the attack, just moments after that attack, he posted an eerie moment on facebook where he said, quote, i'm sorry, guy, it was a pleasure. fbi investigators have been told that marquez planned a 2012 attack with syed farook, but for whatever reason he got cold feet. but even with all of those things happening new details also focusing on the 28, -- $28,500 transferred to syed farook's account before this attack. it was on the craigslist where on line borrowers and lenders can match up funds so now questions surrounding whether the fbi is asking if a terrorist

cell actually transferred the money to syed farook's account for the purposes of this attack. but even with these new detail, the questions and the thoughts and the prayers of this community remain with the victims. today there will be a service held for tin nguyen who was looking for a better life and education, but she was gunned down a year before she was set to be married. alex? >> okay. that money trail may prove to be significant. may i ask you, what was the nature of the relationship between farook and enrique? did they meet in school, neighbors? where did it all start? >> reporter: so it's interesting, i actually spoke to the neighbor who lived across the street from marquez. and she said that the two would spend hours in the front yard, just tinkering with old cars and remodeling new ones. that they acted like old friends, but something odd. she told me she -- that enrique marquez took her young son to

and from school in a car pool service, but she ran into him at the walmart seven months ago. he pretended like he didn't know who she was. a lot of questions surrounding this young man who local family members who said he was married to farook's family member. he reported this was a marriage that was just a sham so that she could have immigration. a lot has to be confirmed. even more questions surrounding marquez who was not officially named a suspect. >> yeah, definitely more to this story. authorities have determined a fire at a southern california mosque was intentionally set. that fire broke out yesterday afternoon. crews were able to contain to its the building's front lobby and prevent any injuries. state fire investigators and the

federal bureau of alcohol, tobacco and firearms are assists. they haven't said how it was set or if there are suspects. saudi arabia is making history. for first time, women are heading to the polls to cast their ballot and the first time they're allowed to run for office. about 130,000 thousand have registered to vote. this in fact is only the third time since 1960s that saudis have gone to the polls. let's go now to the weather. crews in the pacific northwest are working to clear roads and highways swamped by mudslides from this week's torrential rains. entire neighborhoods have been flooded in washington and oregon and rain is expected to continue in the region throughout the weekend. bringing more threats of flooding and mud slides. now for a look at the weather, let's go to the weather channel's reynolds wolf. good morning. >> alex, my friend, great weekend to you. unfortunately, not a great weekend for our friends in the southern plains. we have strong storms today, maybe some isolated tornados especially by this late afternoon.

another big story, not what you see, but what you feel. we're talking record ties across much of the east. including some 22 states back in the midwest and the plains. you've got the heat to deal with. now, out to the west, you have the snow, especially up in the higher elevation, rockies. could see several feet of snow. same deal in the pacific northwest. but as we get to tomorrow we see the snow beginning to emerge from the northern and central rockies into the plains. eventually by monday could see it moving into the twin cities. hey, look at this. the highest elevation could be really impressive out to idaho, but in the plains, near goodwin, eight to 12 inches of snow. out to the west in the high sierra could be impressive. rockies two feet in some locations including up near jackson hole. and a nice dusting of the snowfall. that's your story around the country. back to you, alex. >> thanks so much. a quick update now on one of the top stories. in just this past hour, world leaders in paris have released a draft of the potentially ground breaking plan to fight climate change.

right now, delegates are looking over the plan. they will officially vote on it in a few hours. meanwhile, several environmental and human rights groups are protesting around paris to coincide with the end of two weeks of climate talks. in signs the bromance between donald trump and ted cruz may be over and new questions about trump's campaign. is there a method to its madness? was new report says yep. thousands of people came out today to run the race for retirement. so we asked them... are you completely prepared for retirement? okay, mostly prepared? could you save 1% more of your income? it doesn't sound like much, but saving an additional 1% now, could make a big difference over time. i'm going to be even better about saving. you can do it, it helps in the long run. prudential bring your challenges

i tabut with my back paines, i couldn't sleep and get up in time. then i found aleve pm. aleve pm is the only one to combine a safe sleep aid plus the 12 hour pain relieving strength of aleve. i'm back. aleve pm for a better am. with toothpaste or plain water.an their dentures and even though their dentures look clean, in reality they're not. if a denture were to be put under a microscope, we can see all the bacteria that still exists on the denture, and that bacteria multiplies very rapidly. that's why dentists recommend cleaning with polident everyday. polident's unique micro clean formula works in just 3 minutes, killing 99.99% of odor causing bacteria. for a cleaner, fresher, brighter denture every day. at ally bank no branches equals great rates. it's a fact. kind of like ordering wine equals pretending to know wine. pinot noir, which means peanut of the night.

that's why i switched from u-verse to xfinity. now i can download my dvr recordings and take them anywhere. ready or not, here i come! (whispers) now hide-and-seek time can also be catch-up-on-my-shows time. here i come! can't find you anywhere! don't settle for u-verse. x1 from xfinity will change the way you experience tv. well, look he's from texas. to the best of my knowledge, there's a lot of oil in texas, right? so he gets a lot of money from the oil companies and he's totally against ethanol and everything else you're talking about.

and i'm not. i'm totally in favor. >> donald trump last night taking a jab at senator ted cruz in iowa for ties to big oil and his stance on bio fuels. trump also knocked cruz's religion, questioning his evangelical roots. trump is holding another rally today in south carolina. well, these rallies come as more polls show support for trump hitting a new high. "new york times"/cbs news poll puts the support at 35% followed by ted cruz and ben carson as you see there. joining me now, philip bump from "the washington post," good morning to you. okay, your latest article this is based off the polls. how many republicans say they're voting for trump, no matter what? >> so fascinatingly that 35% number you just showed, half of those supporters said they've made up their mind, far higher, more than twice the percentage of any other candidate has seen. so that essentially means according to the poll one out of every six republicans that's

planning on voting next year is voting for trump full stop. >> okay, i want to point out it's called it's not chaos, it's trump's campaign strategy. he's a disciplined and methodical candidate. how so? >> so the point that's made in the article is that trump is very specific about how he interacts with people. right? so he goes and does the big speeches. he'll try out jokes, he'll do riffs and make fun of people. if it doesn't work he won't do it anymore. if it does work he incorporates it in the regular routine. he's direct about slamming people all the time. he punches up and down and punches sideways. people enjoy it. he's fun to watch. fun to engage with. and he's very smart about how he's a social media to continue, even when he's on the stage, to continue doing that. people see that as truth telling and people see that as taking a bold stance. it's worked out well for him. >> so the other one from the article on friday, focus group shows why donald trump is not going anywhere.

what were the findings here? >> this is amazing. my colleague dave weighal attended this focus group by frank lutz. i think there were ten people who were strongly in favor of donald trump and they showed the negative stuff about donald trump and people were sort of remind oh, yeah, this is the guy that says whatever he wants and he kind of has fun with it. and after two hours of relentless attacks on donald trump, the support rose in the room. i think that says a lot about how he's gotten where he is. >> the broader electorate does not have the same enthusiasm for donald trump. 64% of voters said they'd be concerned or scared if he becomes president. so hillary clinton has to be using these numbers to some way. how is that happening? >> well, i think hillary and the

democrats on the whole are trying to be very specific about tying down donald trump and the rest of the republicans together as being this group of people that is against muslims, that is against immigrants. and as is general election strategy. so it will be important next year. so far it hasn't worked. another survey came out that people didn't see donald trump's statements about muslims is being reflective of the broader republican party. trump is so unique, not like any of the other republican candidates and for democrats trying to make him like that it's a disadvantage. >> what about the jabs that donald trump made at ted cruz last night? what's the attention from trump mean for ted cruz? wasn't ted cruz's father an evangelical pastor? >> yeah, he's a very religious person, he's very good at building inroads to the

evangelical community. the poll that just showed cruz moving into second place that's obviously a key part of it. but also there was this audio that was leaked into "the new york times" which was ted cruz sort of bad-mouthing trump at a private donor event which is the perfect way to tee off. he gets to tee offton guy who's starting to creep up on him in the polls. this is trump's strategy once again. he says he doesn't take the first punch at people. he does sometimes. this is because cruz is doing well. >> can i talk about the brokered convention? ben carson is weighing in on that saying he has trouble with the idea of one. what is behind this? >> if there aren't is a candidate who's gotten the majority of the delegates or even who even has gotten a majority of the delegates it may come down to the fight to get 50% plus one. people are starting to think, okay, we have the two candidates, ted cruz and donald trump that could be there. any number of other people that could split the vote enough this is a problem.

what this has done is this isn't likely at this point. it was just sort of a we need to be prepared for this sort of conversation. but it allows people like ben carson who are outsiders to say, look, the establishment is trying to rig who wins this thing. and it gives him something to actually push back against. which i think is a fairly smart strategy on his part. >> there will be some fire works in cleveland, how much do you bet? >> i will not take that back. a quick update on the president, he's heading to the pentagon to look for more ways to strike isis targets. he'll meet with the top military leaders on monday. if you plan on buying online, you better act quickly. why your holiday deliveries may not come on time. what super poligrip does for me is it keeps the food out. before those little pieces would get in between my dentures and my gum and it was uncomfortable. just a few dabs is clinically proven to seal out more food particles. super poligrip is part of my life now.

"black market millions" it's he zah is a hawthorne. the matter of interest. what news could play into the decision by the fed? >> this is interesting, retail sales went up 0.2%. that's the most it's been up in four months and consumer confidence is rising. so good news there. but here's the problem. investors heard that news. and it fuelled the speculation that fed is going to rise those short term interest rates. all right. so everyone freaked out on friday. the market reeled. the dow dropped almost 310 points. >> yeah. >> to close 2% lower than it has been all year round. so that -- so the good news fueled the bad news which is good news. the economy is doing well, but people don't want to hear that because it might cause interest rates. >> afb oftentimes it's emotional. what about wait times? >> you have the friends who swear by online shopping.

these people -- these people are saying they're not going out and shopping. they're thinking oh, i'll get the free shipping. come monday, shipping is going up 15%. so those people who have been waiting, they have to spend more -- more of a premium to get their presents delivered on time. if they wait until the 20th of december, it's going to go up even more. so monday, they're expected to do about $2 billion on sales online. but retail may not. people like you and me are going into the stores, 79% of those people are going to stores versus the 63% based on this research. fyi, you'll be dipping your card instead of swiping because we have the chip cards on our cards. >> right. absolutely. but are -- with all of the online shopping, the shipping companies, are they ready for this? >> so that's really interesting that you say that.

u.p.s., fedex and the united states postal service are having a hard time with this. because they can't deal with the volume of people wanting to buy all of their stuff online. so last year, fedex was shipping everything at a 97% on-time rate and now it's down to 93% and u.p.s. is having the same problem. same thing with u.p.s. they're expecting to ship around 1.5 billion packages which makes sense. you know, the crush is huge. but they should have had that together by now. everyone is shopping by the mobile devices and online. they should have had it together. >> yeah, that's true. okay. good to see you. >> good to see you. thanks for having me. well, searching for evidence and an answers in the deadly attack of san bernardino. what a friend of one of the shooters is revealing next. myst. what's in the trunk? nothing. romance. 18 inch alloys. you remembered. family fun. everybody squeeze in. don't block anyone. and non-stop action.

welcome back to "weekends with alex witt." it is now 32 minutes past the hour. time for your fast five headlines. the top story comes from the

climate summit in paris where the draft of the landmark agreement has been released. it's the first deal in which all countries are required to reduce green house gas emissions. the deal will be voted on later today and coinsides with protests around paris to call for the end to fossil fuels. and an attack near spain's embassy killed four police officers. the taliban is claiming responsibility. and another story we're following today, a mock mass shooting in austin, texas. it's happening later today near the university of texas and it's raising lots of concerns. we'll bring you a live report in a few minutes. look at this close call for a driver on the san jose, california, highway. look at that metal tray, it smashed right through the windshield. the driver miraculously escaped with a scratch to his right arm. wow. it's a day to remember old blue die days on what would have

been frank sinatra's 100th birthday. hoboken, new jersey, will honor him with a new black at the historical museum. well, the fbi dive team pulled at least two objects from the san bernardino massacre. and gadi schwartz has more on that, and plus more on the bombing massacre. >> reporter: good morning. federal investigators have been working overtime on the san bernardino attacks, now they have to divert some of the resources to this attack on a local mosque. so far, one person of interest already detained in that case. after nearly two days of searching below the surface a diver heads to shore while another agent waits with an evidence bag in hand. so far, we have seen two small objects recovered from the lake where terrorists couples syed farook and tashfeen malik are said to have visited the day of the shooting. >> this would be a place where

you could destroy some evidence. maybe a hard drive. >> reporter: the fbi not saying what they've recovered so far, but experts say if it is a hard drive, it could hold evidence on whether others knew about the attack. >> that magnetic disc even if damaged could yield some important information. >> reporter: the fbi is also focusing on enrique marquez, said to be cooperating with the fbi. marquez supplied the two assault rifles to farook and is now sharing details about another 2012 plot involving farook for an attack that was ultimately scuttled. meanwhile, every unusual twist in marquez's life is under scrutiny. we have learned he's married to a ukrainian woman, that his own mother said he didn't know about. at the bar where he worked his boss said he had no idea marquez was even a muslim. >> last time i checked this ain't a mosque, he never talked religion here. >> reporter: for this community, trying to heal, tensions remain high.

at least three funerals so far and two more scheduled for today. while 90 miles away in california's coachella valley a mosque is firebombed shortly before afternoon prayers. >> we're peaceful people. >> reporter: launching a separate investigation in what appears to be a crime of prejudice and hate. marquez has not been named a suspect in this case. he has not been charged with any crimes. meanwhile, the search of this lake continues at day break. alex, back to you. >> gadi schwartz, thank you. let's bring in malcolm nance, executive director of the terror asymmetrics project and he's the book of "defeating isis, who they are, and what they believe." so investigators in the san bernardino case, they're trying to determine where and when syed farook and tashfeen malik became radicalized. were they radicalized separately and then brought together by

ideologically? what do we know? >> we don't know a lot. but this occurred around the time of 2010, 2011. 2011 was a very dynamic time in the middle east. it was the rise of the arab spring and the start of the fall of dictators. the jihadist movement tends to fill in voids and vacuums when you have the large uprisings and there were a lot of atrolsties going on. it was the rise of isis from al qaeda in iraq. there was a lot of militancy happening in the world and they may have thought that this was the most islamicly perfect world that they wanted to go to. and became radicalized individually and met each other online and became like minded husband and wife later. >> and the husband and wife part is what i want to talk about because it seems as if this is the first case, certainly in the u.s. we have seen a husband and wife carry out the attack is this an isis tactic, is this something you discovered while researching your book? do they encourage married

couples to carry out jihadist attacks? >> no, heretofore it hadn't been an isis tactic. what we're seeing is a tactic they'll start to rely on in external operations. in parts of the world they absolutely do not allow women to operate any terrorist operations. they have two women control organizations. and they're designed for women to make sure that women, you know, are adhering to the islamic principles. not showing themselves. but al qaeda in iraq during the early 1980s did carry out the type of husband and wife suicide attacks and with the attack that was in paris where we had a female isis operative inside the bomb lab who was subsequently killed by french police, and in this one, we may see that it -- as a matter of trade craft and going to infiltrate into external countries, it may actually be to their benefit to allow women to take part as terrorist operatives.

>> so we have been talking about enrique marquez, this friend of farook's whom the fbi has been questioning certainly. he purchased the rifles that farook and malik used in the attack and authorities say he's been cooperative, not considered a suspect at this time. but "the new york times" reports that marquez would talk about terrorism and sleeper cells at a tavern where he worked. first of all, isis and sleeper cells, do they rely on sleeper cells to carry out their attacks? >> well, up to this point, no. what we have seen is like for example, the mission that occurred in paris, that was not a sleeper cell. that's what we call an operational cell. that's a group which is actually sent over, they're a planned mission, they're going to carry out the attack and they live covertly within those societies. a sleeper cell is sent over to remain under cover for a very long time until activate and then they go out and carry out the attack through a direction.

that's -- is it possible that that's what the fbi is looking for in these hard drives, that they may have recovered or telephones, a burner foe phone which may have given them the go ahead signal, that's possible. for marquez to have been talking about that, he ago an interesting character. i think he was mulling around the concept of terrorism. he's the type of guy isis would like to have on board because, you know, he may have a mental defect and he may just be the kind of person to carry out the attack at direction. >> yeah. i will say he's not considered a suspect, but he could yet be charged with what, providing material support? >> yeah. he quite literally -- the first thing they'll get him on is doing a straw sale of the firearms. california has very strict firearm laws, i'm sure they'll get him on that first. and then allow the investigation to progress to see if there's anything more significant. >> thank you. a new gallup poll shows

americans are worried about terrorist attacks and the government's ability to stop them. 55% said they have a great deal or fair amount of confidence that the government can stop the attacks. and 67% said it's more likely to happen in the next few weeks and that's up from 45% back in june. in a moment, who's behind today's mock mass shooting drill and the point it's supposed to make? 40% of the streetlights in detroit, at one point, did not work. you had some blocks and you had major thoroughfares and corr

that were just totally pitch black. those things had to change. we wanted to restore our lighting system in the city. you can have the greatest dreams in the world, but unless you can finance those dreams, it doesn't happen. at the time that the bankruptcy filing was done, the public lighting authority had a hard time of finding a bank. citi did not run away from the table like some other bankers did. citi had the strength to help us go to the credit markets and raise the money. it's a brighter day in detroit. people can see better when they're out doing their tasks, young people are moving back in town, the kids are feeling safer while they walk to school. and folks are making investments and the community is moving forward. 40% of the lights were out, but they're not out for long.they're coming back. you can't breathed. through your nose. suddenly, you're a mouthbreather.

the least likable and compassionate. in a few hours, gun rights activists will stage a mock mass shooting at the austin campus. it is coming less than two weeks after 14 people died in the attack in california. and the texas demonstration is drawing controversy even from supporters of gun rights. >> i'll be the first one to say that a person has the right to express themselves to, you know, talk about freedom and things of that nature and things that are wrong with our system. but i'm definitely 100% against, you know, them doing this particular event. i think it's irresponsible. i think it's just bad timing. and it's childish. >> nbc's charles hadlock is in austin today. a couple of questions today. what exactly is going to happen there today, what is the point of it and what is it with the cardboard cutouts of guns used? >> reporter: well, there's a demonstration that begins on the other side of the u.t. campus and will end here on the west

mall of the campus along what they call the drag. guadalupe street. they'll use a cardboard cutout of guns. what is this all about? well, earlier this year the texas legislature passed a bill allowing concealed handgun operators to carry their weapons on college campuses. that had been prohibited in the past. but each university has the choice of deciding exactly where the guns will be allowed. u.t. has a committee forum. they're considering exactly where it will be. but one thing is for sure. guns will likely be in the classroom. so some people are upset about this. this group wants to point out that universities, churches, shopping malls, government buildings, places that we have seen horrific shooting events are all what they call soft targets, where people aren't allowed to have guns.

they argue that the more people who have guns the lower the risk that there will be a mass shooting. however, this is taking place on the u.t. campus which was the site in august 1, 1966, of one of the worst mass shootings in modern times. 16 people were killed by a sniper, charles whitman, who climbed to the top of the u.t. tower and stayed there for hours shooting people here on the street and al -- also on the campus. even gun right advocates are saying this is inappropriate. but here's what the organizers have to say about this event. >> we started planning this about a month and half ago. long before the california shooting. but incidents like that shooting that happened recently are the reason that this point needs to get out there and people need to realize the reasons that they're happening in these places and the gun free zone is the epidemic that is happening in this country. the government politicians are providing shooting galleries for

these people that want to do harm. >> reporter: so about 80 protesters have signed up for this event. it could be more than that, organizers say, because of all the publicity they have had. but there's win caveat. it is expected to rain here today. they will be able to carry long rifles those are legal to carry on the street in texas. but not handguns. so the hand guns will actually be cardboard cutouts and they will use fake blood and actors to demonstrate what a mass shooting looks like. however, we have been all too familiar with exactly what they look like over the last few years. alex? >> do we need that re-enacted. a lot of the students are in final exams so let's hope it's not disruptive for them. charles hadlock. it's chicago ire in the streets. how will the protests over the shooting of laquan mcdonald produce real change? that's next. that can change thee for years to come. how can you help? by giving a little more, to yourself. i am running for my future.

people sometimes forget to help themselves. the cause is retirement, and today thousands of people came to race for retirement and pledge to save an additional one percent of their income. if we all do that we can all win. prudential bring your challenges® this holiday, i can count on my going off list.again, and knowing right when my packages arrive. so that's two things. introducing real time delivery notifications. sign up at myusps.com just serve classy snacks and bew a gracious host,iday party. no matter who shows up. do you like nuts? and we'll have to use like double! maybe more!! i'm going back to the store? yes you are. dish issues? get cascade platinum. one pac cleans tough food better than 6 pacs of the bargain brand combined.

terror ---yesterday two small objects were recovered. no word, though, on what they are. also today, funerals will be heldal for two more people killed in last week's attack. new protests on the votes of chicago last night. activists are calling for an expanded justice department and the resignation of mayor rahm emanuel. showing to the fatal shooting of la laquan mcdonald. >> the death of laquan was not to make people famous or anything like that. it stemmed from a problem that has been a problem in america ever since it's been in america and that is racism and hatred. racism and hatred. >> let's bring in steven green,

national youth and college director for the naacp. i wants to get your thoughts on what you heard there from pastor hunter. you describe all the calls for rahm emanuel and other city officials to resign, you think it's a bigger conversation than just that? >> i do believe it is a bigger problem in the city of chicago, because we have a culture of corruption that has been occurring for decades and really a generation in chicago. and young people and children of color have been growing up in a system of up presentation and a system of racism and abuse. that's why we have been calling on the entire justice department to do a thorough investigation of the pattern practices of the chicago police department and to expand that, also to include the entire city of chicago. with schools closing, with the culture of policing, with the body cameras that do not work. with the police task force that

does not seem to reflect the entire community. we have a culture of corruption that has been consistently demonizing and oppressing a people throughout the city of chicago. >> so so you are putting your words into action, because you were protesting last weekend, you in fact got arrested doing so, what did you see among those that were protesting with you? >> i was arrested with nine other colleagues at the university of chicago, university of chicago dominion school and the naacp and we were arrested in a diverse coalition. what's beautiful about the city of chicago is the sea of diversity of protests. we are really reenergizing. i prayed with my legs. and we're doing that in the city of chicago. we're willing as nonseminarians who are willing to go to the jail and risk arrest in front of city hall because we're tired of

t the corruption an we're no longer able to be silent. >> this video that was finally released by chicago, it enabled the public toal actually see what happened on that night back in 2014. the officer who shot la quan mcdonald is facing first-degree murder charge and if not for the demonstrations do you think that officer would have been charged? >> why did it take 400 days for someone to be charged? we're not asking for people to just are resign and not get those answers. and that singularly seems to be the issue. this is a media crisis, trying to play cover-up and trying to play catch up and save public face. but we wanted the true and authentic action and if that

means more public action and more public disobedience, we're willing to go that route. >> do you think it means more federal oversight? . >> i think what we really need to enact is the recommendations from the 20th century police task force which suggests community policing, it encour e encourages citizen -- so the investigation or place where you can go and hide and things of that sort, so wie're asking for an overall place in this country to really review and examine our culture of policing which reflects our community and is able to pursue justice by any means necessary. >> steven green. that's a wrap of this hour

of weekends with alex witt. next up, the backlash of donald trump's banning of muslims plan. and i'll be back at noon eastern, be sure to join me then. is see you then. taken a hit lately. mm hmm. just wanted to touch base. how did edward jones come to manage over $800 billion dollars in assets? huh. okay. here's our latest market outlook. two things that i'd like to point out... through face time when you really need it. so that's interesting, you know we had spoken about that before. it's how edward jones makes sense of investing. some of these experimentse're notmay not work.il. but a few might shape the future. like turning algae into biofuel... ...new technology for capturing co2 emissions...

...and cars twice as efficient as the average car today. ideas exxonmobil scientists are working on to make energy go further... ...no matter how many tries it takes. energy lives here. i accept i'm not the rower i used to be.. i even accept i have a higher risk of stroke due to afib, a type of irregular heartbeat not caused by a heart valve problem. but i won't accept is getting out there with less than my best. so if i can go for something better than warfarin, i will. eliquis. eliquis reduced the risk of stroke better than warfarin, plus it had significantly less major bleeding than warfarin. eliquis had both. that really mattered to me. don't stop taking eliquis unless your doctor tells you to, as stopping increases your risk of having a stroke. eliquis can cause serious and in rare cases fatal bleeding. don't take eliquis if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. while taking eliquis, you may bruise more easily

and it may take longer than usual for any bleeding to stop. seek immediate medical care for sudden signs of bleeding, like unusual bruising. eliquis may increase your bleeding risk if you take certain medicines. tell your doctor about all planned medical or dental procedures. i accept i don't have to set records. but i'm still going for my personal best. and for eliquis. reduced risk of stroke plus less major bleeding. ask your doctor if switching to eliquis is right for you. ♪ everything kids touch during cold and flu season sticks with them. make sure the germs they bring home don't stick around. use clorox disinfecting products. because no one kills germs better than clorox.
