♪ donald p donald trump begins a week with a twitter storm of comments over three state recounts and claims that millions voted illegally but no evidence. and the death of fidel castro, what is next for the communist nation. one person dead, nine others injured in new orleans as police search for two shooters. >> this is an act of just brazen cowards who took these actions. these are their choices and now we have to make our choice to pursue them. >> today is cyber monday, but deep discounts have already led to hot black friday receipts. >> and domino's is training

reindeers to deliver pizza. "early today" starts right now. good to be with you on this monday morning. >> it was a long holiday weekend for everyone including president-elect donald trump who wakes up in new york having arrived from his holiday in mar-a-lago. and he's returned to his campaigned slow gap of a rigged election without providing any evidence to back up his climbs. in addition to winning the electoral college in a landslide, i won the popular vote if you deduct the millions who voted illegally. he writes serious voter fraud in virginia, new hampshire and california. so why isn't the media reporting on this? serious bias, big problem. >> now california secretary of state is responding directly to trump's allegations, posting this, his will up substantiated claims of voter fraud in california and elsewhere are absurd. his reckless tweets are inappropriate and unbecoming of

a president-elect. trump posted 13 tweets over 32 hours. jill stein amassed $6 million to finance and file recount motion in wisconsin. stein is also pursuing recounts in michigan and pennsylvania, as well. >> and now that the clinton team has said they're joining stein's wisconsin effort, trump is speaking out. hillary clinton conceded the reaction when she called me just prior to the victory speech and after the results were in. nothing will change. clinton's election lawyer responded to trump saying we are getting attacked for participating in a recount that we didn't ask for by the man who won an election but thinks there was massive fraud. meanwhile as trump looks to fill foreign policy posts in his cabinet, kellyanne conway pulled the prospects of mitt romney as head of state on the sunday shows. >> there was the never trump movement and then there was mitt romney. i'm all for party unity, but i'm

not sure that we are to pay for that with the secretary of state position. i'm reflecting what the grass roots are saying. they feel a bit betrayed to think that you can get a romney back in there after everything that he did. we don't even know if he voted for donald trump. >> and news outlets are reporti reporting conway's unusual push is part of a block and i had within the transition team against the 2012 presidential nominee as factions within trump's own staff begin to emerge. and there could be an all-out anarchy. >> if we're given the white house and both houses of congress and we don't deliver, i think there will be pitch forks and torches in the streets and i think quite rightly. >> that as the trump campaign reacted to fidel castro's death. the president-elect had a saturday phone call with president obama that stretched up to 45 minutes according to aides. while his transition team showed it is a united front on how the u.s. would work with a new cuba.

>> we have to have a better deal. we're not going to have a unilateral deal coming from cuba back to the united states without some changes. >> his criticism of what has happened last couple of years is very simple. it's that we got nothing in return, that by reopening diplomatic innovations with cuba, allowing commercial aircraft and the rest, that we really got nothing in return. to the extent that president trump can open up new conversations with cuba, it would have to be a very different cuba. >> cuba enters its third day of mourning for fidel castro and a familiar face is speaking out as elian gonzalez the boy at the center of the fay fuss custody battle now in his 20s says castro was like a father to him. in an interview, gonzalez says he wanted fidel to be proud of him saying i wanted to show him everything i achieved. the reaction from gonzalez is a very different one felt here in the united states where large enclaves of cuban-americans are celebrating castro's death while

they remain skeptical it would bring an end to the dictatorship that forced them to flee in the first place. for more on the reaction, jay gray. >> reporter: hid willen along this narrow street in old havana, inside this modest but well kept home, roger reflects on a new cuba without fidel castro. >> translator: the loss of fidel castro has two faces. one clear, one dark. >> reporter: but now with raul this power, he has renewed hope. >> translator: when that happened, i saw the salvation of the cuban revolution. >> reporter: a rev liolution no sparked. and with a renewed spirit of many here. dedicated to that prtity despite pressure from the u.s. and others for the cuban government

to change. >> translator: we're not returning to capitalism, we're going to perfect our social economic system. we're going to do socialism with new philosophies. >> reporter: new philosophies, deeply rooted in their past. >> that was nbc's jay gray reporting. right now police in new orleans are on the hunt for two suspects after a deadly shooting on the world famous bourbon street. a security camera captured the chaos as crowds ran away and police responded on horse back. police say they are searching for two men who started shooting at each other after arguing on the streets. >> i'm confident that we will track down those responsible for this crime. we will hold them accountable for their actions and make sure that they are brought to justice. >> reporter: ten people were shot including a 25-year-old who died from his wounds. after the four day shopping frep zi, retailers are hoping to catch in on cyber monday.

reindeer to pull sleds full of fresh pizza in japan. in case of heavy snow, the company thinks this is the best way to feed their hungry customers. using gps tracking, you can track the reindeer's location in real time. the service should be up and running by early december. >> i wonder if they still do the 30 minute guarantee with the reindeer delivery. just ahead, new developments on the today compadakota pipeli and whether they will forcibly remove demonstrators. and look at this tornado moving across the horizon in nebraska. no injuries reported this holiday weekend. and bill karins, you say 11 million americans are at risk of severe weather? >> a lot of wind damage and

xarelto can cause serious, and in rare cases fatal bleeding. get help right away for unexpected bleeding, unusual bruising or tingling. if you have had spinal anesthesia while on xarelto watch for back pain or any nerve or muscle related signs or symptoms. do not take xarelto if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. tell your doctor before all planned medical or dental procedures. before starting xarelto tell your doctor about any conditions, such as kidney, liver or bleeding problems. to help protect yourself from a stroke, ask your doctor about xarelto. there's more to know. xarelto. so dad slayed the problemt with puffs plus lotion, instead. with lotion to soothe and softness to please. a nose in need deserves puffs, indeed. it helps put some distance.. between you and temptation. clinically proven to help reduce hunger between meals.
