. >> why the middleground voices aren't heard is a good d questi.ththere has been a lot of drama associated with the conflict. [gunfire] trying to live with a wolf is rathere complicated, than a story about don't kill the wolves or kill all the wolves. all you really read about in the newspapers i is what thehe mouthpieces s say to the media. i think it is a gross oversimplification of what is happening on the landscape. when dave and i for started ranching here, very soon after we got sheep, we lost a few two coyotes. at first, we did what everybody did. we called a government trapper and he snared one. it did not take us very long to look at each other and say, you know, if we have to exterminate all of the native species to live, that we probably shouldn't be ranching. part of what makes this special is not just the beautiful vieie, but the whole biological sysystm that makes this work.. anand we feel lilike it's our obligation to figure out how to coexist. people are very frustrated by the way the reintroduction occurred. and i in recent years c

. >> quickly, the president questi convened in his office. >> how do they describe him? >> he is clearly upset, but under control and processing information and not losing his cool. >> reporter: at 3:50, as handwriting, the battle ship has been attacked, heavy personnel casualties and then turned to his secretary, grace tully, to compose the message to the american people. >> she says he lit a cigarette, took a long drag, leaned back in his chair and said he dictated most of the speech without interruption, letting her know where the periods were. after he finished, she left the room, typed it backo him, and then fdr himself brought all the own editing in pencil to his own speech. >> and here it is, edited by roosevelt in his own hand. and this is our own treasured document. >> it began with one of the most famous lines in american history. >> he took the first sentence, history, strikes that, changes it to infamy, and transforms it into one that really resonates throughout the decades today. >> yesterday, december 7th, 1941, a date which will live in infamy, thenited st

. >>> here as i questiis a questi. is it possible for trump to tax u.s. companies that move jobs to mexico. the short answer is yes. but tariffs are used for products, not companies. trump could ask congress to do it or if he wants to avoid congress, he has to go through four steps. announce an investigation into the company for dumping cheaper products in the american market. wilbur ross would likely be approved. then the trade commission would have to prove the company is causing harm by dumping its goods on u.s. shores. that's never happened to a specific company. if trump did get that approval, he could slap a tariff on all goods coming into the u.s. bottom line here, slapping tariffs is possible, but it is complicated. a difficult thing to do. >> a lot easier to ask for congressional support which he doesn't have across the board. >> looks like it is easier to tweet. >>> up next, new developments in the oakland warehouse fire. why investigators had the building on the radar long before it went up in flames. >>> and a mistrial for a former police offi

when we first heard this news, the offense questibvious questi not in space, is it going crashing downth and it sort of did. is that a risk that happens often? >> it is if you're on the spaceship, but for those of us on the ground, it just burns up. that's the way they junk them when they're finished, they let them drop into the as not fear and burn up. small pieces might make it to the ground, but not dangerous. what do you make of the fact that this rocket lost contact with those trying to fly it? >> there is no question this is a troublesome failure for the supply line to the space station. this is the second russian failure in a couple years and two american cargo ships failed in the last 25 months as well. it indicates a continuing problem with the third stage of this rocket that once failed back in 2015. also causing the loss of a cargo ship, so they have to get to the bottom of their assembly line. >> is there any concern about whether or not they ugh supplies. >> most of the supplies are vital, and they said the ast astronauts are not in danger. and nasa will get up any high va

. >> is that a win for russia is that a fair way to answer the questi question? >> absolutely. >> and how does putin want this to play out, and right into his hands, and that is the fear, but there are so many people who insist that despite the ties that he is certainly qualified to do the job? >> well, i agree with that and i heard robert gates say that, and i have great respect for robert gates, but, you nknow, he has talked about the need for ending western sanctions, and so has trump. but i dont n't know if that is good thing at this time, because we will show that we will have a ha hard-line. >> and what is the takeaway here, and optimistic here because there are so many before president-elect takes office about his relationship with rush sharks and people believe that he has to respond in some way. what is your expectation or hope? >> well, i am not optimistic, and i believe that unless trump starts to take seriously -- >> and wouldn't he have to when he gets the security briefings and intelligence information. >> i would hope so. and he has come out more t
