this morning on "today's take" john cena is back. the wwe star turned movie star is our guest co-host, and then al takes chicago by storm for a behind-the-scenes look at tv's best shots and the best fixer-uppers chip and joanna gaines with some's upgrades coming up now. >> announcer: from nbc news, this is "today's take" with al roker, natalie morales, willie geist and tamron hall live from studio 1a in rockefeller plaza. welcome to "today." it's tuesday morning, december the 8th, 2015. a nice holiday season crowd

i'm willie along with tamron and natalie natalie. al had to leave early and john cena with "at last". >> and a young lady that i haven't seen in a while and after i talk to you guys, this is only song i dance to and i'm saving a dance for her. >> love in your life. >> hanks for letting me play it. >> every guy put on alert that this is what you're supposed to do. >> i miss her so. i'm looking forward to this being done and for all the right reasons. >> you won't tell us who the lucky lady is. >> if you don't know, it's my nicole, she's across town and been away from her for too long. >> she's so sweet. >> usually here when you co-host. such a sweet person, perfect match. >> when you do stuff like that the rest of us guys don't have a charges man.

>> what advice do you have for willie because he's going to leave here soon, too. >> honey, i miss you and here's a song. >> you can't play your song. >> try "thunderstruck" by ac/dc. >> sabotaging my relationship. there's the other side. >> eta james, ac/dc. one in the same. >> mice. >> we'll talk about your movie in a lot. can't wait to hear more about that. the big headline this morning comes from the political world. republican presidential front-runner donald trump has capped for what he says is a entering the united states. he shared more of his plan monday night at a rally on the uss "yorktown" in the mt. pleasant, south carolina. >> donald j. trump is calling for a total and complete shutdown of muslims entering the united states until our

figure out what the hell is [ applause ] >> we have no choice. you're going to have more world trade centers. it's going to get worse and worse, folks. yes, we have to look at mosques and we have to respect mosques, but, yes, we have to look at mosques. we have no choice. we have to see what's happening in there. man, there's anger. >> so his plan as he announced that he was actually reading his statement there and what the plan is to not let muslims in for what he says is a period of time. whatever that means. got a standing ovation inside the hall at that the real on the ship. did cause a lot of backlash from critics and also republicans run against him who now almost universally have come out against this idea. donald trump calleo my other job, the other show "morning joe" and my co-host joe scarborough tried to get specifics about the new proposal and donald trump was defiant. >> you should be afraid of the other side, not my side.

very difficult situation. >> all right, all right, donald. >> joe, one other thing. >> no, no, donald. >> you get to let us ask questions. you can't just talk. you're still talking. >> i'm not just talking. >> donald, donald, donald. >> joe, i'm not just talking. >> if you keep talking we will go to break. >> go to break then, joe. all i'm doing -- facts. >> we'll go to break and we'll be right back with more "morning joe." >> did go to break there on "morning joe" and took a brief break, two minutes and in that break we said if you want to answer the questions and let us ask them first and you're invited to come back on. donald to his credit came back on for 45 minutes and answered everything we asked him. we wanted to get more specifics about this plan. who is he talking about exactly? he said it does not apply to muslim-americans, u.s. citizens would be able to come back into the country. i wanted to know some more specifics though about practically how this would work. how do you keep the borders

>> donald, want to go back to what you called temporary unit .ed ho w does it work at border. let's say a man and his family. >> willie. >> what happens at customs? >> there's certainly going to be exceptions made, for instance, sporting events and other things, hopefully this wouldn't take very long, but you know what, by doing this what we really need help from are the muslims that do know what's going on. the neighbors of people that are they have to call the police. >> donald, i understand that, and you've made that point, but i want to know how it works. religion doesn't appear on 5%port. questioning at a border in europe before they got to the united states? would it happen here in america, how does it work? >> it could happen at the site, happen in many different forms, willie. it would have to be worked out and i don't think it would be for an an extended period of time. >> a customs agent would then

religion? >> that would be probably -- they would say are you a muslim? >> and if they said yes, they would not be allowed in the country. >> that's correct. >> so that's how he says it would work. other thing i wasn't quite clear on is how long this goes on. he says it's temporary until we i don't know what that means exactly or how would you know when the coast is clear for muslims to come into this country. >> i don't think he knows exactly what that means either, how long that period of time would be. >> and it remains to be seen how this impacts his presidential campaign. we know in the past that statements like this, inflammatory have not hurt him, in fact have helped him so we'll see about this time. >> i was going to say it's interesting that he said, you know, we need to rely on muslims to help us, but how do you get that trust and that relationship if you don't embrace them as shawn henry said earlier. know who is in our communities and we embrace people all around

ears and what's going upon in their neighborhood. >> what's interesting for people to note that remark got a standing ovation at that rally as if to say just because something gets a standing ovation that it is something that deserves this kind of attention it, and what i mean by that is there were segregationists, we know that in this country, people who didn't .. ng to be people who support not something that's just not popular but dick cheney even said in this case not american, not in line with our values, so just because you have some people in a rally who stand up and applaud it. >> right. >> that does not mean that it's in line with the values of this country. >> no, no. >> the only reason i point that out is to say this is appalling and who would ever support this. people who support donald trump do like what he says. >> i'm not speaking of you. in general. >> this is bold and this is brash, i'm with you. i don't know how it works out. the last time we did anything like this is in world war ii,

reprehensible acts by the united states of america. for you. down. a trump is being trump. there's no other way to say it. >> hate begets hate. >> and the constitution and what that says, what that document who many of those very people in that real, our american brothers and sisters who were in that real works say they want to protect the constitution and some would even call them like ted cruz constitutionists don't acknowledge that this is completely counter to our constitution. so, i mean, this is a conversation that could go on and on and on and may play a part in "time" magazine's person of the year. tomorrow on the "today" show "time" magazine will announce that individual who for better or worse has really had a major impact on the year's news cycle, again, for better or worse. they put out this short list that we've been talking about on this show and in the original

black lives activists, angela merkel, caitlyn johnson, travis kalanick, the founder of uber and abu bakr al baghdadi and vladimir putin and hassan rouhani the president of iran and i said vladimir putin just based on the news cycle of this year, the role that he has to play, not only in this coalition to defeat isis but role he has to play with negotiations with north korea and china. that doesn't mean he's necessarily all powerful but you cannot ignore the necessity of russia and vladimir putin. if anything to work against isis as he's now supporting bashar al assad. >> and the iran deal. >> and with the iran deal so it is across the board. john, your pick? >> i feel like somebody picking

i like the kolinick guy and names from rockefeller up to oppenheimer and to gates and jobs, that when they change the way we live as human beings, like this app has essentially made owning a car potentially obsolete. you just don't need to do it anymore so that's huge. >> it is. >> and it is getting bigger and bigger and more commonplace and i just any that's being overlooked. elon musk will be on the list next year for the tesla power wall because he's dealing with the way we deal with electricity. >> revolutionary. >> nat mo. >> i did pick trump. you know, for better or worse i think the change that we talk about with these changing the world, i think he's certainly changed the conversation for better or worse in this country and certainly he's pretty much hog all the headlines in this country, too. i think he's been a headline stealer. >> and i think he's been a headline around the country. this news yesterday reverberated all around the world, middle east and europe so i'm with you.

>> interesting to see tomorrow on the "today" show. we're going to reveal. >> all right. >> we have some fun now. can we have some fun? time for a little fun. okay. but we can get away from the heavy parted subjects and turn the corner. it is the holiday season and our friends at jibjab have created a special hole day hip-hop parody just for us. >> oh, gosh. >> parody of the classic "a christmas story." john, you're included in this. oh, my gosh. here we go. >> here we go. here's a little story i'd like to say about the single coolest forestest holiday i'm talking about christmas and i see it glowing in the window and i got to get this. i hope my parents try it i want a red rider rifle it will shoot your eye out dumb luck and kind of dumb

in reducing the risk of stroke. you know, i tried warfarin, but the blood testing and dietary restrictions... don't get me started on that. i didn't have to. we started on xarelto . nice pass. safety first. like all blood thinners, don't stop taking xarelto without talking to your doctor, as this may increase your risk of a blood clot or stroke. while taking, you may bruise more easily and it may take longer for xarelto may increase your risk of bleeding if you take certain medicines. xarelto can cause serious, and in rare cases, fatal bleeding. r get help right away for unexpected bleeding, unusual bruising, or tingling. 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 before starting xarelto , tell your doctor about any kidney, liver, or bleeding problems. you know xarelto is the #1 prescribed blood thinner in its class. that's a big win. it is for me. with xarelto there is no regular blood and no known dietary treatment with xarelto ...
