breaking news at the top of the hour on msnbc. in new york city at msnbc world headquarters, going to central texas for you. a police officer has been shot and killed in downtown san antonio. police saying the officer was sitting in his patrol car outside police headquarters and then someone walked up to the driver's side window and opened fire. woa sixth live on the scene. zack, what do we know? >> reporter: well, richard, it's a tragic day for the san antonio police department. officers have released a description of the suspect. they are describing him as a
1:01 pm
black male about 5'7" wearing baggy clothing and has a beard. he fled the scene in a black vehicle. this all happened a little before noon on sunday. as you mentioned, the officer was in the process of writing a ticket in his patrol car. that's when a black car drove up behind the officer's patrol car. the driver got out and walked around to the passenger window. that suspect then reached in and fired, hitting the officer once in the head. he then reached in inside the vehicle once more and fired the gun again. after that, police say the suspect then walked back to his car, got in, and drove off through the parking lot which you can see over to the left, which is on the south side of public safety headquarters here downtown. again, this is still a developing scene. officers aren't quite sure on a motive just just yet, but it's
1:02 pm
something they're continuing to develop. right now a press conference is scheduled with chief mcmanus here at public safety headquarters at 3:30 local time here in san antonio. of course we'll continue to follow this and bring you the very latest. for now reporting live from downtown san antonio, zack hendrick. back to you. >> zack, what is the mood there? as we know, san antonio is a very diverse city. was there any lead-up to this that would give us any sense of why or why this happened? >> not for sure, not clear why right now. just speaking to people who have been walking by, we've had a couple people from houston who are visiting who were just shocked when they went over to walk to the alamo just from the hotel across the street. and also some folks from here in san antonio, just surprised and saddened at this news of the officer, a 20-year vet passing away. >> no doubt. tough for the community there.
1:03 pm
i can't thank you enough. zack hendrick, thanks. woai with the latest. we'll of course keep on watching what's happening there and out of san antonio. we'll get that to you on msnbc. also watching this at the moment as we go to politics. we're looking at this camera there in bedminister, new jersey. this as we have been watching who has been walking through. chris christie, governor of new jersey, just walked in the door. kelly o'donnell has been watching that for us. kelly? >> reporter: well, richard, it has been a very active day of potential job intervous and also the president-elect meeting with people who could offer ideas on a range of different subjects for his coming administration. we just saw the new jersey governor who has been a friend of the president-elect for more than a dozen years. i asked the president-elect if he sees a place for governor christie in his administration. he responded indirectly saying he is smart and tough, a great guy, that kind of a banter we've
1:04 pm
been seeing today with the president-elect. earlier i asked him about rudy giulia giuliani. i said to the president-elect, are you considering him for the department of state? he said yes, and other things. so that certainly opened some doors about a possible role for rudy giuliani, who was one of the most vocal and visible surrogates for donald trump during the campaign phase. will there be a job for him in the next administration. rudy giuliani has spoken publicly about his interest in the department of state. yesterday mitt romney was here. his name has been rumored in that mix as well. nothing firm from the trump team about which direction the president-elect may go for those kinds of appointments. however, we did get a big nod, kind of a lean in today that wilbur ross, the billionaire head of invesco, could be the choice for commerce. i asked president-elect about that. he said yes and commerce,
1:05 pm
meaning he is under consideration and advisers say we should keep an eye on wilbur ross. if you read between the lines there, that may be an indication if that's the way this is going. nothing is final until it's announced. richard, we also had a chance to talk to the president-elect about an issue that has bubbled up that is unusual for a coming first family. question of whether or not they'll live in the white house. i asked mr. trump if he intends to live in the white house. he said yes. i followed up and said mrs. trump and baron, will they live in the white house? he said yes, but after the school year. and so that would be unusual, so melania trump and son, baron, who's 10 years old, based on the president-elect's comments and talking to advisers, the expectation is they will remain in new york city while he finishes his school year and then relocate to the white house. a different sort of framework for how a first family would handle this. i'm also told by advisers that mrs. trump and the extended family are all very excited about their role and, you know,
1:06 pm
they recognize that there's an expectation that the first lady be involved and visible and they're figuring that all out. >> we've been talking about what's happening outside the door. any sense of all these meetings, how they go through them, any sense of the one, two, threes in the conversations that are happening behind that door? >> reporter: well, we've been talking to advisers and they're giving us some descriptions of what's been going on. we basically have been told that the president-elect and vice president president-elect are in the meetings. sometimes some senior advisers as well. there are conversations about given topic arias, usually whatever the portfolio of that notable person brought in on a topic area or perhaps consideration for a job they may be um for. but the sort of behind the scenes is staying behind the scenes. we can tell you texas governor -- former texas governor rick perry will be meeting with donald trump tomorrow in new york city when they take this sort of operation back to trump tower. richard?
1:07 pm
>> kelly, thank you so much for that. nbc's kelly o'donnell watching the notables walking through that door. and she'll continue to report for us throughout this afternoon. thank you, kelly. the trump transition team defending one of those individuals that will has had the opportunity to discuss their potentiality with this administration. attorney general nominee and alabama senator jeff sessions. sessions losing his chance at a federal judgeship. you might remember that 1986 after making racially charged comments including joking that the kkk, quote, was okay until i found out they found that they smoked pot, end quote. but trump's incoming chief of staff reince priebus believes that sessions has devoted his life to equality overall. take a listen. >> this is something that happened 30 years ago. look, twoef look at this man's life. he's an unbelievably honest, dignified man who started his career working against george wallace, who then spent 15 years
1:08 pm
in department of justice, u.s. attorney for 12, a.g. for two, filing desegregation lawsuits all over alabama. he's someone who voted for civil rights act. he voted for eric holder. he worked his heart out to give rosa parks a congressional medal. >> with us from washington, national reporter from "the new york times" and an msnbc political analyst and former spokesman for ted cruz's presidential campaign. rick, i'm looking at some of the individuals that were scheduled to walk through the door today, about 12. ari emmanuel, the super agent. crishririschris kovak, who's re working on this muslim registry discussed. rudy giuliani, chris christie, as kelly o'donnell told us. a real selection of different individuals. sitting on the outside but understanding that side of the aisle, what are you seeing? >> well, look, one of the
1:09 pm
initial vit schicriticisms of d trump is that he would draw from a shallow talent pool, and it's been anything what. he won and so people would like to work were the administration. republicans are obligated to work for the administration. they need to do the best they can to make mur ssure that he's successful. as the president said, if donald trump is successful then america will be successful. >> each and every person that walks up we have a shot of either donald trump and/or mike pence shaking hands or smiling. you've got individuals that were very critical of donald trump early on. you have old supporters like we rudy giuliani here walking up and going through the formality of this. when you look at all of the potential choices here, who do you think stands out as potentially being the most difficult? sessions? >> if the question is who might be most difficult to get confirmed i would think someone
1:10 pm
like jeff sessions would be very difficult because there have been a number of civil rights groups that have come out that have said he is not someone they support and he is someone they see as problematic. if we think about whether or not it will be difficult for them to work for the administration, the fact that mitt romney is talking to donald trump after what i think is really a very memorable press conference where he criticized him very pointedly and said he was not going to be voting for him, i think that tells me that's a very tough thing to now think that mitt romney would now go and work for this administration. those are two people i think of as difficult as you've asked it. >> rick, reflect on one of those and that might be mitt romney as a potential moderate choice as secretary of state. would that be helpful to you? >> absolutely. on the one side maybe flynn as defense secretary, a.j. and sessions which tells me he'll be tough on isis and strong on law
1:11 pm
and order. on the other side, mitt romney is very diplomatic. he knows a lot about world events. he's very educated in this area. and he's a steady handle. and i think if those two could work together it would be a remarkable turn of events and there is reconciliation. i hope it happens. >> yamiche, those on the left might also believe that, that that's hopeful. but the question is when will we know, right? because there's a lot of possibilities and they were saying yesterday, yes, we could get some announcements today. what are you hearing from your sources in terms of who is in the front of that list right now and when we might actually hear something? >> i think it's still a lot of it is still up in the air. i've talked to some republicans who have no insight on whether or not or when these appointments might be made. when i look at the images of donald trump parading people and posing for the cameras, i feel
1:12 pm
like he-in some ways he's in a real-life "apprentice"er, that he gets to have all these people come and kiss the ring and explain why they deserve to be in his administration because he's someone who felt pushed back by the republican party, someone who felt he had to come in and fight all the odds to make this happen. i think in some ways he's reveling in this moment as he should. he was someone who shocked his party and the democrats into getting where he is. i think in some ways we might hear from him soon but i think the other thing is to think he might also take his time and really enjoy this moment. >> take his time, enjoy the moment, and, rick, you know we're going to ask this question. let's talk about ted cruz, his name being tossed around as a potential supreme court nominee. >> well, ted cruz has said he didn't want a supreme court nomination, but look, when es it's offered it sometimes can change things. ted cruz thinks about things very deeply and so if he were
1:13 pm
made an offer i imagine that he's going to reflect on that. i would love to see him on the supreme court. but i think it is right that donald trump is enjoying his time interviewing these people who we're very critical of. no doubt about it. >> he's smiling, patting them on the back. something you would never ever see happen at least prior to november 8th. right now, everybody's together. yamiche alcindor, rick tyler, thanks for your time. >> appreciate it. next, america's changing workforce. what president-elect donald trump will have to do to keep his promise of helping the working class. i love my shop, but my back pain was making it hard to sleep and open up on time. then i found aleve pm. the only one to combine a sleep aid plus the 12 hour pain relieving strength of aleve. now i'm back. aleve pm for a better am. the medicare enrollment deadline is just a few weeks away. changes to medicare plans could impact your healthcare costs.

1:16 pm
it's been said this election pivoted on the working class and how they're doing not only in big cities but also in small ones all across the country.
1:17 pm
president-elect trump says he wants to help them out. and a new report from the national league of cities has some suggestions for him. but first concerns. almost half of jobs in two decades will be at risk because of advances in technology. up to a quarter of manufacturing, construction, maintenance, and agriculture tasks could be automated by 2025. while at the same time, freelance workers, they'll grow in number. now currently one out of every three. it may sound scary but here are what local leaders can do to prepare workers says this new report. first, invest in digital and physical infrastructure to help today's workers. second, rethink education and training. third, support entrepreneurs and start-up communities. and fourth, look into paid family leave, portable benefits and basic income. on all of that now, joining us to talk about it, seth harris the former acting secretary of labor under president obama. seth, what do you think of those details that came from the
1:18 pm
report? >> they moved the ball forward with this study. the diagnosis is exactly right. we've lost millions of middle wage, middle school jobs, the kind of job you could do with a high school diploma or a little college. a lat of those people have slipped out of the middle clas. we have to find a way to rebuild the middle class and help people prepare for the next wave of technology that will eliminate a lot of not just middle wage job but low-wage, and low-skill jobs. >> what's your thought here? how is workforce changing versus how it must change? >> well, technology has changed the way we work, where we work, and whether we're going to have a job. and government has a role in responding to that phenomenon. so we can train people to be prepared for the high-wage, high-skilled jobs of the future. we can create jobs in providing broadband to americans and
1:19 pm
addressing transportation infrastructure in our country. we can also make sure that the social compact that we've had around the workplace that provides workers with benefits and protections, is protected and extended to those who are independent contractors or temporary help work es or other workers whose job relationship with their employer has changed. >> it sounds like your thoughts are consistent with this report. i want to get some reflection on what was said by the incoming senate minority leader chuck schumer today. he was addressing the failures of his party, the democratic party, to speak to the workforce. take a listen to what he said. >> we shouldn't just say we'll change the trade laws a little bit. we need dramatic change in the trade laws. we should carry all of these loopho loopholes, carried interest and other things. many of these issues actually donald trump supported in the campaign. we're going to challenge him to work with us on those issues and not work -- go against them and
1:20 pm
break his promise to the blue-collar poeople. >> question, can local leaders across the country do what is needed to be done on their own? and how much help will they need from the federal government? >> there are some things they can do on their own. for example, they have the ability to work with local educational institutions and research institutions to get people the skills that they need and to help them create small businesses, you know, infuse entrepreneurship in their communities. there are some things they can do with local laws to protect workers. but at the end of the day they're going to need a partner in the federal government. and mr. trump ran as a different kind of republican, sort of a billionaire tribune of the working class, so we should measure him on whether or not he's actually helping working-class and middle-class americans get better. >> seth, i was speaking with the conference of county leaders on thursday, and they're very unsure, sort of reflecting that question you're asking right now, what will happen right after he takes office?
1:21 pm
but they were looking at the $1 trillion, that infrastructure proposal that's been talked about. if they were to have an ask of donald trump, what should they ask for as they think about innovation in their localities across the country? >> i think that that $1 trillion infrastructure commit suspect very, very important. the way in which mr. trump has proposed it unfortunately is to give tax breaks for existing infrastructure projects. that's not going to create jobs. that's not going to give us better bridges and roads. he needs to invest and get the republican party to join with democrats to invest in creating millions of construction jobs, broadband jobs, other kinds of jobs that are going to hem our economy to grow, and put people pack to work and at the end of the day leave was a better functioning economy. that's where the discussion has to be in washington to help cities and to help localities in order to do what they need to do with mass transit roads,
1:22 pm
bridges, other kinds of transportation in between cities. >> good stuff. thank you so much. a great start to the conversation here, seth. thank you for stopping by. seth harris, former acting secretary of labor under president obama. >> appreciate it. happening now, president obama and russia's vladimir putin face-to-face for perhaps the final time. next, a live report from the asia-pacific summit in lima, peru.

1:26 pm
what happened in that meeting? >> reporter: it was very brief. it was more of a casual encounter, not a formal meeting. these two have had a difficult relationship over the last number years and the issues on the agenda were ukraine and syria, especially syria. president obama has been dogged by the civil war there, the huge exodus of refugees, the hundreds of thousands of people who have been killed, and his inability to do much so stop all of that horrific carnage. he wanted to say to president putin one last time, let's try to solve the issue in the final two months he has in office. much of the summit has been abo about issues and goals with mexico, china, canada, represented in this asia-pacific summit. remember, president obama has tried to rebound american foreign policy to this part of

we'll continue to follow this. we may be getting updates there from law enforcement and we'll get that for you right here on msnbc. meanwhile, protests are continuing to play out in front of trump tower in new york this afternoon. pro trump and anti-trump protesters are standing opposite one another on "west side story" style if you will in a rather peaceful demonstration. nbc's tammy leitner is there at the moment for us. this is the east side, tammy. what's the dynamic between the two sides? >> reporter: yeah, you know, this is something we have not seen before. if you remember i was out here yesterday, there were several hundred anti-trump protesters but this is very different today. >> chris christie just coming out. let's listen in and see if they say anything. >> are you going to qualify mr. christie for a job? >> very good. it went very good. thank you. >> that's all we got was "very good, very good." chris christie again initially

1:34 pm
it was all very peaceful and they were making their voice heard. but one thing i want to point out, richard, it's about 40 degrees. it's rally cold. so we've got some very passionate people that have taken the time to show up on a cold new york day. >> very passionate and definitely believe in what they're protesting on. tammy leitner in front of trump tower. thanks for that. appreciate it. the president-elect's business dealings are in focus already raising eyebrows after a series of events with the appearance of conflict of interest, among them world from the trump organization he met with three indian business partners at trump tower last week, trump's team saying it was a courtesy call but one of several reminds it won't be easy for the trump family to separate business from government. jonathan o'connell and ron insana. jonathan, you reported this past week about another case of some blurred lines, some 100 foreign diplomats from around the world gathering at trump international hotel. when you were reporting on this,
1:35 pm
i understand some offered insight into how trump's presidency may mix with his business dealings. >> sure. many viewers i'm sure know opened a new hotel in downtown washington this fall, and already visitors to the hotel and foreign diplomats are feeling as though it might be a good idea for them to stay at his hotel if they would like to have a good relationship with the trump administration. i have not seen evidence that mr. trump or his company have pressured anyone in any way to stay there, but this is an unprecedented situation in which mr. trump's businesses around the country and the globe are going to begin interacting with his presidency and administration in ways that we just haven't seen before. and there's just myriad examples of situation where is regulators that mr. trump will be overseeing and policies that will affect his businesses will be under his purview and, you know, having foreign diplomats stay at his washington hotel or feel as though they should be staying at his hotel could
1:36 pm
affect his business there. >> ron, you know i've been talking about this for about six months now. where are we on this arc of blurred lines and questionable conduct if you will when it comes to business? >> well, i think i would agree, jonathan, we haven't seen this before, certainly in our lifetime. there's been no president who has either been wealthy enough or illiquid enough in a certain sense. donald trump owns stakes in companies that are -- properties that are not easily sold. instead of selling a stock portfolio, for instance, as a treasury secretary would and then just go to cash and go into a blind trust, this is a more delicate and intricate process. and, you know, given as was said that he has properties in which now some foreign diplomats may stay a couple blocks away from the white house, which effectively enriches the president as long as he's making money on that operation, that goes into his kids' pockets and ultimately into his own when he leaves. this is a highly unusual situation. >> getting more complex, more complex? >> far more complex. you look at his financial disclosure forms, he has 550 or
1:37 pm
so limited liabilities corporations. so if there's tax reform that goes through next year, which is going to benefit anyone who is the sole owner of an llc, his personal tax rates would go down as well. >> significantly. >> significantly. something i'll be writing about later this week. >> we'll be reading that. jonathan, i'd like your reaction to vice president elect mike pence. let's listen to what he said. >> in a recent e interview after the election, the president-elect summed up his view of his interest in his business life with two words. he said, who cares? and i can tell you sitting shoulder to shoulder with him through these interviews, watching him talk to world leaders on the phone one after another from hours after the election, the president-elect of the united states, donald trump, is completely focused on the people's business. >> so there's a lot of questions here, jonathan, as we move forward, been very consistent
1:38 pm
saying we will find out what we need to know. i was looking through the new yorker and they were mentioning a clause which say no, this shouldn't be. now, as the congress potentially changes in 2018, we'll just put this presidency, this administration, at risk of congress saying hey, hang on a second and perhaps bring up the idea or the discussion of impeachment processes. >> well, i mean, that's been far down the line. mr. trump and his children and associates have talked about the term blind trust and turned it around here and there. it's a specific thing to put your assets into a blind trust. a third person is named to operate your assets then and just telling -- having mr. trump say his kids will run his businesses is a very different thing from that. mr. trump personally will benefit if his hotel in washington, hotel in las vegas, his hotels around the country are doing well. there are myriad ways. i think we're the tip of the iceberg in terms of looking at the ways that being president
1:39 pm
could help enrich or benefit one's companies. i think the aspect of having foreign leaders stay at your hotel because they want to, you know, maybe get some advantage in terms of talking about the administration or, you know, corporations, lobbyists, there have been already a number of associations, you have policy issues in front of the federal government that have stayed or held events at mr. trump's hotel. and the majority owner of mr. trump's hotel is mr. trump. he has made no indication he'll put that into a blind trust or somehow separate himself from the possibility that his presence would benefit him other than letting his kids run it. >> ron, what are some of the compromise steps that trump could do here? >> i'm not sure there are. when you're a near 100% owner of a hotel, there's no compromise insofar as if you own any piece of it, you probably know there's no blind trust for an ownership in a hotel if you just have a trustee who's in charge of the hotel. the president would still know he owns the hotel and he would
1:40 pm
also potentially know who stays in it. the real way to do this is to liquidate your holdings, turn the cash holdings over to a trust trustee. you do not know what he does with the money. he is charged with, you know, keep safe, keeping the capital, then investing it in way he sees fit to maximize returns to the extent it's prudent. but it's hard to do that with hotel properties. mr. trump could to that with stock and bond holdings which were in a financial disclosure form. he could sell his apple stocks and bonds in there. any stock he owns could be liquidated immediately at market prices. hard to do with properties that are real estate oriented. so i don't know what the compromise is other than to liquida liquidate. even the "wall street journal" weemg's editorial board has called on him to liquidate those properties and go to cash. >> could be a year or months and months. >> could take a long time. ron insana and jonathan connell, thank you. still to come, the isis threat that has police in new york reinforcing security for this week's thanksgiving day

november is national family caregiver awareness month. over 35 million americans take care of family members without pay according to aarp. one of those was teenager kenneth shinozuka. his grandfather had alzheimer's and stayed with ken and his parents. he took the challenge to heart along the way and then created something to help his grandpa. it's called safe wander. it attached to his grandfather's sock and when his grandfather wandered it sent a short little warning to ken's smartphone so he would know what to do. giving practical peace of mind to ken and his family. joining me now to discuss his invention is kenneth and the vice president of the alzheimer's association. thanks for being here. ken -- thank you so much for having me. >> thank you for being with here with us. this story, your grandfather has since passed. but what inspired you --
1:45 pm
>> yes. >> -- as a family caregiver to step up and create this little ip vengs? >> absolutely. so my grandfather had alzheimer's for over 12 years actually, and as a result of that he frequently wandered out of bed at night. that gave a tremendous amount of stress to my aunt, who had the daily task of having to look after him day and night and that gave her a lot of fatigue. so i became very concerned about her well-being as well as my grandpa's safety since he was prone to falling whenever he got out of bed. so it was out of those perm desires i decided to invent safe wander. >> i'll put it on my lapel here. it's simple. it's a small little white sensor about the size of a quarter. you can put it anywhere on a robe, a bathrobe, on a sock, and it's since i evolved and i understand is doing quite well. was your grandfather able to ever reflect on how this may have helped him or he was not able to sense that he was being put on him and that it was helping him?

>> unfortunately by the time that my grandfather started using safe wander hi memory had declined to the extent that he really wasn't able to recognize us or his surroundings. but he definitely did benefit from safe wander in a very practical sense. the device is actually able to detect 100% of all the known cases of his wandering and definitely protected his safety while also giving my aunt huge peace of mind. >> beth, you know the stories well. and when you think of ken and what he decided to do as family caregiver, you have to kind of ask yourself, boy, where was i when i was that age? but tell us about what family caregivers like ken and others and how important they are to patients who have the disease like alzheimer's or other situations where they need to be family caregivers. >> yeah, richard. you know, the reality is there's 5 million people in this country today living with alzheimer's, and nearly 16 million caregivers, so family members like ken and his aunt take
1:47 pm
precautions as they can. it's different than other diseases because it goes on for a long time. ken talked about, mentioned his grandfather had it for 12 years and, you know, that's not uncommon. people can live up to 20 years. and as the disease progresses, people need more and more and more assistance. so those family members and those caregivers are the ones providing that, so when you think about all the activities of daily living, people eventually need help with all of those. >> as we are in again national family care giving wareness month and we look at the impoance of them, can you give us the headline on that for us, beth? how important are family caregivers? >> family caregivers are very important. you know, we know that 70% of people living with dementia are living in the home. and so -- and as the disease progresses as i mentioned, they
1:48 pm
need supervision, they need somebody taking care of them all day, every day. and so the alzheimer's association really stresses the importance of families becoming educated about the disease, learning about resources in their community, putting a plan in place so that they can get through those weeks and weeks and months and years of care giving. >> my father has alzheimer's. it's certainly been a process for our family. ken, you know, a device like this is very helpful because it is where are they, when are they getting up, did they fall, are they wandering outside of the home. ken, you've helped to answer some of those concerns. what's next for you, though? this is really quite something amazing you created as a teenager. >> well, thank you so much. as a result of beta testing my device at several different care facilities and receiving lots of inquiries from many caregivers across the nation and arnold the world, too, i've become
1:49 pm
cognizant of a lot of other problems dementia patients and elderly patients in general are suffering from. one of the benefits of safe wander is it's useful for preventing falls so it's applicable not just to dementia patients but all elderly who fall in general. i'm looking at other problems, too, the elderly suffer from and hoping to be able to solve those as well, for example, being able to detect the location of a patient in addition to whether or not he's gotten off the bed. >> halts off to you, beth and ken, for all you're doing. appreciate it. ? thank you so much. >> you bet. next, isis singles out the macy's thanksgiving parade as a good target for terrorists. the parade route not far from trump tower in new york city, for instance. how police can plan to keep everyone safe. mary buys a little lamb. one of millions of orders on this company's servers. accessible by thousands of suppliers and employees globally. but with cyber threats

1:53 pm
it is a festive time. dancers, bands, the thanksgiving parade day on manhattan. isis putting a shadow over it calling the event an excellent target. the terror groups english-language magazine is encouraging supporters to replicate a truck attack like this one in nice, france, that killed more than 86 and injured more than 200 this summer. police say they've heard of no credible or direct threat to the parade. they'll have concrete barriers to prevent a similar attack. what do you know about the seriousness of potential threats right now? >> as with the parade every year, new york security forces on high alert. they always pay attention -- in fact, when i was in office back in 2008 we had a significant threat that had been working. so everybody's kind of ramped up. it's all about coordination. it's all about the things you see and that you don't see, all
1:54 pm
about the cameras, the policemen there as a detern, the people in the crowd, paying attention, monitoring social media, taking a look at what's out there and trying to see whether or not there's a way you can kind of sense what's going on but also deter it. >> a couple different thins to talk about this year for the parade. we have a president-elect donald trump. there have been some mentions as a counteraction or a reaction to his statements about muslims and a muslim registry, potentially. we have lower manhattan where just months ago we had those pressure cooker bombs. what's different this year that you're watching? >> it's very dynamic threat environment because you're in a transition. you've got the history of the thanksgiving day holiday. you have this number of people concentrated in the city, which has been the target in the past. you have a president-elect, this is his home, these are the statements. you have a whole bunch of motivations. but that doesn't necessarily mean that anything's going to happen just because you have motivations.
1:55 pm
it's always about capabilities as well. we know that we have degraded the ability of al qaeda and isis to do operations overseas. the concern is always about those who are already here. and whether or not they decide to go and get in the game as it were. >> lone wolfs. >> lone wolfs, exactly. what we saw in chelsea, what we saw in san bernardino, what we saw in pulse nightclub, even the marathon bomber. so we know that "inspire" magazine says this is an excellent target, take it upon yourself do that. the only benefit is these guys don't normally have that type of training and their trade craft is pretty bad so they get picked up usually before anything happens. >> so you're looking for warning signs. what might those be that you get ahead of time that you can discuss? >> people looking at what is the intel saying, what are inform t informants telling you. who has noticed different things. you have to prep for this so you have to get munitions together. for example, there's a zazi case years ago, someone wanted to
1:56 pm
blow up the new york city subway system. he brought jars and jars of hydrogen peroxide. he's out there trying to make that type of bomb. are people assembling that. and the other thing you look at is what's in the crowd? what are the opportunities that could be presented? those are the things that they're focusing on right now. >> when you're looking at new york city and manhattan and the macy's thanksgiving parade. there are also parades across the country. manhattan certainly is a focus of concern. are there other spaces across the country that you've heard of and that you had discussions on that are of concern? >> well, we know that, you know, currently there's a lot of active investigations throughout the entire united states. there are people who have evidenced a desire to do something whether or not they are aspirational as opposed to operational, we don't know yet. what they're also looking sat who are their networks, what are they saying to other people. the big thing you're looking sat what is their timetable? do they want to attack on this day? is it this location? of course the question is what
1:57 pm
happens after that. >> michael balboni, thank you so much. safety concerns and procedures ongoing in manhattan for the macy's thanksgiving parade. moving from that to san antonio, where we're watching a news conference just about to begin or just beginning on the killing of an office tler. let's listen in. >> suspect parked his vehicle behind detective marconi's patrol car and approached him while he was zitting behind his wheel at his patrol vehicle. when the suspect reached the driver's side door, he fired a gunshot toward detective marconi, striking him in the head. the suspect then reached in through the open window and fired a second shot, which also struck the detective many the head. after shooting detective marconi, the suspect walked back to his vehicle and drove into the south parking lot of headquarters ultimately exiting on the west side of the building. witnesses called police and officers arrived shortly
1:58 pm
thereafter. detective marconi was transplanted by safd ems to samps sampson, where he was pronounced dead. so where does that leave us? the pictures you all have are what we believe to be the suspect vehicle. it is a black sedan with chrome rims and dark windows. witness reports indicate the suspect to be a dark come plekted male, slim build in his 20s or 30s. he was wearing gray pants and gray shirt at the time. we've had descriptions with and without facial hair. we are actively pursuing all leads and looking into all motives. all resources including from our federal enforcement partners, our federal law enforcement partners and state, local government are all being utilized. we consider this suspect to be extremely dangerous and a clear threat to law enforcement
1:59 pm
officers and the public. anyone with information is usualed to call 911 or crimestoppers at 224-stop. we will continue to update you with any new information as it develops. our hearts go out to detective marconi's family and to all of our sapd brothers and sisters for whom this has hit home hard. those families will be celebrating the holidays. sapd will be burying one of its own because of an ultimate act of cowardice by a suspect who will be caught and brought to justice. as we've always said, the community is our partner. we need our partners now to assist us with any information you may have no matter how insignificant you think it may be. and with that, i'll invite the mayor up to say a few words.
2:00 pm
>> good afternoon, everyone. this certainly is a somber day for our city. when i left church this morning i checked my phone and saw that there was an urgent message from the chief and i certainly was floored by what he told me. on behalf of our city council, several of whom are here today, and all the citizens of our great city, i'd like to extend my condolences to the family of detective benjamin marconi and also to his brother and sister officers in our san antonio police department. this type of senseless violence is unacceptable. i know that as the chief mentioned sapd and our other law enforcement agencies are working to quickly am rehend the perpetrator who is a danger to our community. of course as the chief mentioned, i ask all citizens to provide any information
