border and about prices, grocery prices and the prices we pay. but some of his other policies, including the border and tariffs, could actually raise prices in other parts of the economy. it's a fascinating sort of changeover and handover. you're seeing some numbers we're showing that show in normal times the strength, underlying strength of the american economy but the american psych y the american confidence about the economy has been lacking for some time. >> kristen romans, as always, you do a good job explaining these things to us. we appreciate it. that does it for us. we'll see you tomorrow. you can catch our show online around the clock on youtube and other platforms. thanks so much for joining us. o. thanks so much for joining us. good morning. it is 11:00 a.m.
8:01 am
eastern and we are following a rapidly growing wildfire in malibu with officials expecting to give an update this hour. we will bring you the latest details on this rapidly developing story as soon as we have them. but now we turn to the profile emerging of the man charged overnight with murder in the fatal shooting of the unitedhealthcare ceo brian thompson. the suspect is 26-year-old luigi mangione, an ivy league graduate, a valedictorian that is all boys to school and according to the charging documents the officers who took him into custody found a fake new jersey drivers license and a 3-d printed gun and assignments are similar to the one used in the december for shooting. you can see this apparently false drivers license and weapon with multiple law enforcement officials telling
8:02 am
nbc news that a manifesto was found referencing the healthcare industry and read in part these parasites had it coming and the arrest comes after a five day multistate manhunt that ended when the suspect was spotted in pennsylvania. >> a guy came in the door. i didn't really look at him. i think everybody was kidding around the one guy said that looks like the shooter from new york. >> joining us now is our law enforcement and intelligence expert and a former assistant director of counterintelligence at the fbi. what is the latest on this? authorities have already made a stream of things public but what are we learning so far today?'s
8:03 am
>> there is some that is public and some that is not but as far as the public information, we are getting new images from the pennsylvania state police that show this individual who has been taken into custody and this person and images they are putting out today is a big effort to track his most recent travels which is one of the reasons you are looking here at a photograph taken and provided by the department of corrections in an effort to find out where he has been over the past several days appearing to crisscross the state of pennsylvania at least perhaps on one occasion. as far as information not been made public but we have had three law enforcement officials described to us these writings that have been included apparently or on his person at the time he was taken into custody. i will read you two specific quotes to the feds and i will keep this short because i respect what you do for our
8:04 am
country and to save you a lengthy investigation a state plainly i wasn't working with anyone. and a quick note, josi, authorities have said there is no indication that luigi mangione was working with anybody and they haven't ruled out. the second quote is i do apologize for strife or trauma but it had to be done. frankly, these parasites had it coming simply. we could kind of characterize these writings, and by the way, they talked about three pages but there are only approximately 300 words there in length. we can characterize it by having criticized the broader healthcare industry in the let -- united states and more broadly unitedhealthcare. one thing that bears mentioning is there is concern in the law enforcement community and this is universal and this was a specific crime and as you have seen and we have talked about, there is a portion of the community that we have seen online that his -- has championed the efforts and it's
8:05 am
important to point out that as a result of this, a father is dead and husband is dead and his funeral was held yesterday. i think there is a real concern in the law enforcement community that folks may feel like they are compelled to act out similarly in the future and i think that is a reason you won't hear as much information about this individual again but definitely concern about that. as far as a specific motive, that will be something that comes from prosecutors at some point or law enforcement. >> so many questions, tom. i know if anybody knows anything about this, it is you, tom, but a lot of information still to gather from this. so they did say they found the backpack in central park, remember, the backpack that at the time they said looked like the backpack the shooter was wearing when he shot him and
8:06 am
that is one thing. so that when he was detained and that mcdonald's in pennsylvania, there was, apparently, another backpack he had. what are officials saying was in that backpack other than these 300 words and three pages? this is the one i am talking about. this was the one that authorities back then said they found and said they believed had some monopoly money and it, et cetera? >> reporter: yes. this is the one that appears to be seen on the surveillance video that we have seen so many times with the alleged homicide so that is something that we have focused on before and reported over the weekend and broke that that monopoly money was found and we don't know yet what the connection was or that was about but there was frantic searches and we talked about it through the weekend throughout central park. i shouldn't say frantic but a
8:07 am
concerted and urgent effort but well coordinated using drones and officers on the ground and later they put the scuba divers into the pounds and in the water of central park and by the way that could be at some point murky and you can't see so they have to feel around for any objects in the water to see if they could find that gone and they didn't but now we have learned from authorities that they alleged he had the weapon used in this or at least a weapon on his person which was described to us as a ghost gun. >> come back as soon as you get some updates and i appreciate it but let's talk about this gun apparently found with this luigi mangione in pennsylvania mcdonald's. here is a picture. you tell us. it looks like it is a reproduction of a glock. they did talk about nine millimeter rounds found at the
8:08 am
scene of the crime. what does this tell you? it isn't clearly a glock and what could it be? >> it is a ghost gun and police have told us it is and we know that. in many commercially manufactured firearms you see this which is a polymer and even from it comes like that for manufacturers and it is lightweight and strong and same with the ghost gun and what they do is they affix the metal slide in a barrel it is a real barrel on the top to manufacture the gun and it is legal per se. but they are regulated like a regular firearm is an each state prohibits them but they are not federally prohibited but they are if you are in the business of selling them or dispensing them are trying to manufacture them for profit and
8:09 am
you need licenses and it gets complicated. so silencers on the other hand you can't make that if it is a ghost silencer unless they approve it before you make it so you have to send your information and fingerprints in and it's probably a ghost gun and some of the reasons it was jamming because it was a homemade pistol basically whether he made it her got it from somebody. >> what does the evidence so far tell you about this suspects mindset or motive?'s >> the puzzle pieces are starting to come together but still so many questions here and we have a very bright young man who would have had a bright future but also disturbed and his social media postings are indicative of some real delving into dark places including aligning himself with some of
8:10 am
the ideology of the unabomber and he read his manifesto fairly recently and reviewed it and even concluded there are times ethically when you can murder somebody and still be moral particularly around corporate greed so we can see that and we see references in some of his social media to mental illness treatment but no evidence that that is about him necessarily and we do see he read a book or about to read a book about back pain and the theme being you will get strung along by the medical system if you have chronic back pain. that could be the connection but we are still looking for that direct connection to unitedhealthcare. am certain that corporate security at unitedhealthcare is poring over files to see if they ever ensured him or decline the claim from him and we will wait to hear that but this is somebody you had a cause and he didn't have a personal passion about somebody but rather he has a large ideology against corporate and particularly in the healthcare industry. >> and i am just thinking that
8:11 am
you were so involved in the unabomber case. what are some of those things that you were able to glean back then as to the human nature involved then as somebody -- the unabomber apparently really smart and prepared but what about these people that take some from becoming obsessed about, upset about, the general picture, as you said, to going to carrying out an active deaths? -- and act -- and act of death. >> the unabomber was also brilliant and attended harvard at 16 and published this lengthy manifesto which our
8:12 am
killer has read but everybody was ready to apprehend him and excited about an interview and get the cause and reason and he looks at the agent and said i was really upset with the airplanes flying over my cabin in montana and that's the result of the bombing of american executives. it may make sense to him but it may make no sense to us and we have to be prepared for that. >> i do think you both so very much and we really appreciate it and i want to go right now to malibu in california where officials are currently holding a press conference about the franklin wildfire. >> this is regarding evacuations and a little after midnight we started multiple evacuation orders and warnings in between the canyon and the west to topanga canyon boulevard and everything south
8:13 am
of the highway to pacific coast highway. there are approximately 18,000 people and 8100 structures in the affected area and of the 8100 structures, 2043 structures are under evacuation orders and 6046 are under evacuation warnings. i want to throw something out to our residents that is critical. i can't tell you how much we appreciate when a deputy or another official comes to the door and you get a notification that there is a warning or specifically an order that you need to evacuate. it does save lives and impacts the lives of our first responders because if they have to come into save a life they put their own lives at risk which we are willing to do but please the residents are doing an amazing job this morning and
8:14 am
i wanted to say thank you to all of them. and with the evacuations continuing, pepperdine and the university has a shelter in place order for 800 students. fires can be very unpredictable. we highly encourage residence in these areas to be prepared and he'd evacuation warnings, gather important items like documents, medications, and in case you need to leave your residence immediately. it is very important in the safety of our community and the members of our community is our number one priority. we continue to assist all impacted residents as they wake up this morning and whether they are in need of any kind of assistance or even direction. we are here to help you. >> to help, indeed, is what officials say is necessary and between evacuation orders and warnings, more than 8000 structures on the people who
8:15 am
live in them are being asked to immediately or in case of a warning be ready to evacuate and they want to bring in dana griffin and malibu. this thing really blew up essentially overnight and we are talking now about a fire that is still not under control. >> when i got the call from my boss this morning at 1:00, the fire is at 300 acres and it is now at 2200. talk about explosive. we don't see any active flames right now but i want to walk and show you the area we were in overnight to show you what it looks like right now. it is a smoky almost apocalyptic view. this is the coastline of malibu and the beach is within i shot but it is smoky and hazy and you see several homes still standing and we see one that is burned to the ground up in the hills and you mentioned
8:16 am
pepperdine which is a little further north of us right now and the students are still sheltering in place. we have seen several posting videos showing what it was like as they watch from the window of a library with that orange glow that came up to the campus. you could see some equipment rolling through and you see several fire trucks and it looks like some sort of bulldozer and they are trying to mop up the fire actively burning and probably a little further inland to try to put out these claims. we do know for that shelter in place, that was imperative so they didn't have students panicking and running into places and they have a fortified campus. they have a lot of infrastructures that are pretty fire resistant.
8:17 am
that is why they kept those students on campus and some left because they were nervous but most of them stayed on campus and right now there is zero containment with fire crews still working to put out the fire. the scope of the damages yet to be realized because it is just now daylight and we are trying to figure out how much damage has been caused and we want an answer pretty soon. >> thank you, dana and we do appreciate what you're doing and keep us up to speed on exactly what is happening. we appreciate that. why israel is launching airstrikes across syria as the regime falls. we will go live to syria. >> when you are a leader asked to clean up restoration how do you make like it never even happened happen?

8:22 am
it is 21 past the hour and the syrian rebels who toppled the syrian dictator toppled this in the government but as a new government comes together after more than 50 years of the rule israel continues to strike syria carrying out more than 300 airstrikes targeting weapons facilities in military and research buildings according to the observatory for human rights and on the ground family members of those once held by the assad regime are searching for their now freed loved ones with many still missing and joining us now from damascus is our chief foreign correspondent. thank you for being with us and i know you visited this horrible prison where the political opponents were held and what did you see?
8:23 am
>> this was the most notorious prison in this country and a secret facility or was a secret facility on the outskirts of damascus so the prison is on a hilltop surrounded by barren mountains, rocky areas and isolated. it was a place of no return and when you went there you were never heard from again and people were locked up there and no visits or phone calls and also an execution facility in amnesty internationadescbed it as a human slaughterhouse and what we saw today was thousands of families going through this now abandoned facility searching for their loved ones and searching for evidence of their loved ones. and they were armed with pickaxes and there was a bulldozer on the scene and they
8:24 am
believe perhaps out of desperation that there could be subterranean tunnels in the labyrinth of hidden cells and the facilities and we saw there were no signs of life in it and we saw it was empty just thousands of family members going room to room and maybe evidence of being a hidden door somewhere and some people on their hands and knees looking at papers because they rummage through all of the documents and they are just lists of names handwritten and generally with fingerprints next to them and the registration documents sent to the prison or executed and transferred to other facilities so family members were trying to find the names of their loved ones and many of them and i spoke to a few people who said they had a son missing or both sons missing but many said they had not seen
8:25 am
15, 2030 relatives and they believed they were all taken at this facility 10 years ago, 11 years ago and generally right at the start of the syrian civil war when the uprising began and crush that he rounded up tens of thousands of people and locked them in this prison of no return. we saw torture rooms and it was a gruesome facility. one man came out carrying a handful of nooses, cheap plastic nylon nooses with one that still had blood on it and we saw a torture device that was barbaric a hydraulic press where prisoners would be put in compound and slowly have a tremendous amount of force
8:26 am
exerted on their bodies to crush them. it was a terrific torture dungeon. we didn't see anybody found or any evidence that relatives were still alive and the syrian human rights group released a statement a short while ago they believe of the 100,000 prisoners missing that most of them are probably dead. >> being in damascus, take us there today. what is it like? i have been thinking about how does a country emerge from 50 years of ruthless dictatorship into what? and i think, what you see there today?'s >> so every country is different and i saw a few rapid transitions of power. i was in egypt when that city
8:27 am
was overthrown and was in ukraine when that was overthrown and each experience of rapid dramatic often violent political changes different and in syria you had a dictatorship and power for about 50 years and just over half a century and the dictatorship turned particularly brutal when the civil war began and they began rounding up the oppositions and this was a state of terror for the last decade and people are relieved that the civil war is over and one side won and when we first got here tran one had just been overthrown and people were putting guns into the air and blowing kisses to the rebels and bringing families out to celebrate a victorious liberation and to celebrate the newfound freedom that they could say what they wanted now but today was peeling back the
8:28 am
curtain with people going into facilities that had been off phones and seeing the horrors of what the regime did to them and i would say a lot of trepidation and the group that took over this rebel coalition is led by hard-core islamists in the leader was the leader of al qaeda and led a faction of it and he said all the right things so far that he would be moderate and inclusive and once to inspect or respect all faiths and respect women's rights but there is trepidation on what kind of government it will be and whether israel will take more and more territories with israel already working to disarm this country not trusting the rebels and there was a kurdish faction in the north and concern about this country may not be able to have a new beginning that many here desperately hope for. >> thank you very much and we
8:29 am
appreciate that. >> joining us now is the executive director of the mccain institute and a supreme advisor in europe and thank you for being with us. just thinking about what he has been narrating and took the fall of a 50-year-old dictatorship to understand how inhumane that regime was and in a way it is a microcosm of its government and the prisons that exist there. is it that the world didn't care to look into that, or is it that regime was especially effective at staying in power no matter what? >> thank you for having me on and i would say the regime was effective but effective because it had support from iran and russia. but if you remember back when
8:30 am
the civil war broke out in 2011 or 2012, the syrian people rose up and the armed opposition started to take over cities like aleppo and pretty quickly the iranians said we will help you and they sent them to fight on the ground to fight tran one in the russians pretty much gave him that in bond innocent civilians and cities pretty much the same playbook we saw in 2022 that russia used against ukraine bombing cities to get citizens to submit, which of course in the case of syria they did and in the case of ukraine they did not. but because this time around the syrian military first of all is very weak and secondly the russians and iran and
8:31 am
hezbollah have been weekend and tran one didn't have the support he needed to stay in power but they simply said you are on your own and the opposition roles in and takes over so it is quite breathtaking how fragile actually and tenuous it was that they had that without the external powers they couldn't hold onto power. >> those powers specifically iran and russia have been for different reasons in different ways and weakened primarily by israel and thinking specifically about iran. and just over the last few hours israel has carried out more than 300 airstrikes to destroy syrian government military assets like chemical facilities and biological whatever they have and there and what you make of that scale of the strikes and israel's
8:32 am
response to the massacre which has included the degradation not only of hamas and hezbollah and what is going on in lebanon but very clearly iran as well? >> israel has been incredibly clever and operationally and strategically smart and when they said a different group striking from gaza into israel when they said we will join hamas in solidarity and strike from lebanon and israel in the north and the israelis struck back and we saw as you said this back and forth that included strikes and lebanon but also included the dramatic use of the exploding pagers which took out a lot of the leadership and operative of has belong and they continued to bomb where they have munitions. so with them out of the scene it made it harder and you have
8:33 am
to argue that you have to give them some credit because they have been weakening and the russians have pulled out a lot of forces. >> absolutely. >> it was a pleasure to speak with you and i thank you so much for being with us and i want to make sure that the light continues to shine on what that dictatorship meant for its people and the support of other governments in other countries like iran and the iranian regime like russia and others are what kept it alive and there are many prisons right here in our own hemisphere and many prisons like that in havana and other places and those remain to be a light shone on. i thank you for being with us. >> what new york's attorney general decided about the civil

8:38 am
8:39 am
lisa. what does this mean? >> his lawyers are trying to get the new york attorney general to set aside that case but as they said in the letter they are refusing to do so because that case which was a civil litigation is primarily an almost exclusively about his pre-presidential conduct in running the trump organization and as they say in their letter there are a dozen other defendants part of that $450 million plus civil fraud judgment and i do want to point out this is part of the strategy to extend that immunity argument from the opinion of the weekend and you can see them do that with the das office as well and they briefed in response to a motion to dismiss the new york hush money case where there is also a verdict expected later today and we should expect them also fighting back against the idea that the judgment has to be thrown out because trump will be president again. >> thank you, lisa.
8:40 am
>> we are keeping a close eye on capitol hill where the senate judiciary committee is holding a hearing on the impact of president trump's campaign pledge to launch the biggest deportation program nus history and one of the witnesses, a daca recipient came to the united states when she was seven and explained what it meant if >> if i were to be deported my wife would no longer play a critical role in her mother's life and my wife shouldn't have to choose between caring for her mother who is legally disabled and has a brain tumor and me and i am part of the fabric of my community and they are part of me and the federal government may not have fully recognized this yet but i long for the day when they do. >> also on capitol hill some of president-elect trump's controversial picks for the top administrative roles are meeting with the republican
8:41 am
senators and the picked to head the fbi and tulsi gabbard the director of national intelligence and pete hegseth for defense secretary are sitting down with key republican senators to shore up support for their nominations and joining us now is allie battalion capitol hill and the former republican from florida and what are you watching for in these meetings today? >> we are watching for reaction from senators as they leave these meetings and we do know specifically there was consternation especially last week around the pete hegseth nomination in the aftermath of more allegations including reporting from nbc news around his drinking and other pieces of mismanagement of veterans organizations and those allegations fell here on capitol hill but i do have to tell you this is a place that operates on the mood and the mood was that he couldn't possibly continue on and it seems there are glimmers that
8:42 am
they are little more receptive including senators like joni ernst tight lipped with her meeting last week with him but in the aftermath of their meeting today and at the end of last week it seems there has been a shift in tone and listen to the way he is responding to that mood shift from her. >> how practical was that statement? >> we are grateful she said she will support us in the process and it has been meaningful and her background is significant in all these issues and i welcome all the conversations. >> what do you expect from your meeting with the senator? >> that meeting with senator murkowski is another hurdle that they will have to clear on capitol hill and they have been skeptical and you have to
8:43 am
imagine that will be here in the room. >> this comes as they find themselves in a critical moment and you think it could have an impact on the bid bite tulsi gabbard? >> it reminds people of her secret visit to spend time with then-president aside and reminds people that she had operated in conflict with u.s. policy with regard to that and it will raise questions and a lot of people have forgotten much about syria and assad prior to eight or 10 days ago but her feelings or actions or opinions or views of syria and dictators like tran one will be front and center at this point. >> meanwhile the president- elect said he is opening --
8:44 am
open to protecting daca recipients but he did try to got the program and just listening to that dreamer testifying before congress. how big of a political issue is daca and how big of a political issue should be? it seems like daca recipients are forgotten many times. >> it is a big issue especially for swing voters and i know it is still two years away but a lot of members of congress in that building behind me are already thinking about 2026. donald trump and republicans are going on offense on immigration and if they bring it to the table the way the president did in kristen welker's interview, and by the way, it sounded like he did think about this and he does understand the nature of this population of daca and a lot of them are successful in small business owners, professionals. it does seem like they put a lot of thought into this and if they bring this to the table, it will force democrats to the
8:45 am
table and get them to perhaps deliver more votes than they would under normal circumstances especially coming off of an election or immigration was a very negative issue for them. i think we will see a lot of activity on this issue. at do think we may finally get a permanent solution for dreamers so they can live at peace in our country. >> that would be amazing. but that dream has been there for the longest of time and nothing that ends up being positive. and just wondering, to quote you, is there any mood on capitol hill going forward to deal with in a successful way the daca recipients? >> i do think many ears perked up on capitol hill for many parts of kristin volcker's interview with donald trump specifically around this idea of how the president-elect made deal with dreamers and it's something in past comprehensive immigration packages there have been attempts that but for
8:46 am
various reasons they have been scuttled and not taken across the finish line even as recently as last year which there was a comprehensive package that mostly dealt with border patrol and the border itself but that was something that trump himself ended up tossing aside and urging republican senators not to support. i think there is a fair degree of skepticism in the conversations we have been having and hallways about this issue but is something that the president-elect himself could lead on that would give political clout to many of these members whether they think about 2026 or an election beyond that but this is an issue that trump has held and owned. many of the people in his conference on both sides of this but especially in the senate would be eager to hear his plans and be able to fill in some of these gaps. >> kash patel is on the hill after chuck grassley sent a
8:47 am
letter to the current director christopher wray and asked him to step down and he is seven years into a 10 year term and where do things stand with him? >> under the law, put in place to avoid exactly this scenario we see right now, christopher wray doesn't have to step down for three more years and he can be fired for cause by the president and president elect trump has indicated to kristen welker that he is prepared to do that when he takes office on january 20. but it is possible that christopher wray doesn't force his hand and decide to see the writing on the wall and stepped down and we will see if kash patel gets confirmed. the president elect has made clear what he wants kash patel the ducati go after the so- called deep state and go after the enemies to investigate people that he believes wrongly targeted him particularly in law enforcement and you see president biden and his team talking about whether they have some link it pardon to protect people like liz cheney or
8:48 am
others on the receiving end over the last year or so and i think this is a fraud moment and it won't be caught up in politics but now you see it there on the hotspot. >> thank you all. i just want to say, if you're talking about how on capitol hill things go by the mood, if i could reflect my mood, it would bring i would bring a few marriott she bans in -- marriott she bans . you have just been named anchor beginning the sixth of january and you are not just the smartest always prepared but in my mind among the hippest but such a great person and i am so thrilled for you and i guess
8:49 am
budgetary we can't bring in that ban to capitol hill but if i could think in your mind we have them there to celebrate. >> so much my friend. >> thank you and we are looking forward to seeing you starting early next year, ali vitali. we will be right back as i look for the ban here in you are watching msnbc. you can do more than just slow bone loss. you can build new bone in 12 months with evenity®. evenity® is proven to significantly reduce spine fracture risk. she said the evenity® she's taking builds new bone. builds new bone! evenity® can increase risk of heart attack, stroke, or death from a heart problem. tell your doctor if you have had a heart attack or stroke. do not take evenity® if you have low blood calcium or are allergic to it, as serious events have occurred with evenity®. signs include rash, hives,
