alyssa goard, nbc, bay area news. alyssa, thank you so much. okay, new developments when it comes to a looming ban of tiktok in the u.s. on the app's website right now. tiktok is warning that services will be unavailable as it faces a ban in the u.s. the notice tells users that it is working to restore service as soon as possible. this comes as president elect trump tells meet the press kristen welker that he will most likely give tiktok tiktok a 90 day reprieve, although he underscores he has not made a final decision. and we should note the browser and app are still up as of news time. tiktok's u.s. headquarters is in santa monica, and there are a couple of reports about when it could go offline, some indicating as early as tonight. either way, the company says the app will shut down on sunday. tiktok says it wanted guarantees from the white house that providers like apple or google won't be punished for carrying tiktok in their app stores. this comes after the supreme court upheld the looming ban that says u.s. app stores must remove it unle

what moves voters what alyssa talked about. you have to be talking about lowering grocery prices. vuf to talk about the cost of living. you have to talk about the things that every average american is talking about at their kitchen table and we lost focus of that. january 6th is a day that if i were to sit here and tell alyssa or anyone else that i want to go out and injure 140 police officers, i want to make sure that the president of the united states is down at the mall threatening democracy, and then, if kamala harris doesn't certify the elections, i want her hung. that would actually chill the backbone of people that heard me say that. that is what we went through. that is a day in our history. but going forward, democrats have to be about the party of tomorrow. donald trump is a very little man, as we just saw in that -- in his talking about how difficult it is. he's going to air those grievances, and that's fine. but democrats have to find some backbone and be a party about tomorrow, not necessarily about january 6th. >> david urban, the president- elect will obviously cont

alyssa goard, nbc, bay area news. alyssa, thanks. now, while law enforcement tells us the waymo car was not to blame for the accident, federal transportation records reveal that in a strange twist, this actually marks the first time in the u.s. that a truly autonomous vehicle with no one in the driver's seat has been involved in a deadly collision. right now in california, there are more than 30 companies permitted to test their driverless cars on the open road. most are still required to have safety drivers sitting in the front seat. you can take over when needed, but waymo remains the only fleet of robo taxis in california to move past the state's testing phase to now regularly offer paid rides to passengers. the federal government requires self-driving car companies like waymo to report each time their vehicles are involved in an accident, regardless of who is at fault. now, since reporting records began about five years ago, waymo's driverless vehicles have been involved in about 30 different crashes, resulting in some type of in

on the "barron's roundtable" ben levisohn, alyssa corum and al root. good to see you. jack: the market was meandering the weekend friday fell out of bed, what was going on. >> harder than expected december jobs report suspect investors. in unexpected pickup and payroll gains 256,000 in the unemployment rate fell to 1.4%, hotter than expected academy that means treasury yields already going crazy enough again after 4.77%, the tenure is significant because a break after a 14 month high. not looking good, the nasdaq fell 2.4% for the week. there was an attempt to close off close on friday. i'm trying to find the silver lining but ultimately feels like the market is hanging by a thread because investors are hyper focused on any and all economic data. >> i'll tell you the silver lining the payroll report as strong gobs are untrue jobs report, though an appointment, wages are not going up more than they should be, this is great news and will take a while for the market to realize but as long as economies growing, earnings are growing in stocks go up. >> i agree the backdrop

so what does it tell you, alyssa? mike turner clearly believes that it's donald trump and mar-a-lago that's keeping him from remaining as chair. what does it tell you, if he's right that donald trump doesn't want mike turner there? >> well, listen, mike turner voted with donald trump about 90% of the time in the first administration. so this is someone who is a deeply conservative member, somebody who's always been respected with the rank and file and the house gop. but he's someone who's acknowledged russia's interference in our elections and attempted to he's somebody who's been very skeptical of tiktok. and to your point, supports aid to ukraine. so on some of these top line issues that would come before the intel committee or that they may touch, he's not aligned with donald trump. and as lauren said, yes, the intel committee has largely remained above the political fray. not more recently, though, devin nunes was known for really politicizing the committee. adam schiff on the left, i think many would argue, polit

in san francisco, alyssa goard, nbc, bay area news. police are not only busy in the portola neighborhood, also investigating a shooting downtown tonight. the shootings were fired about 630 this evening near the corner of fifth and bryan streets. officers found a victim. paramedics rushed that person to the hospital with life threatening injuries. investigators have yet to release a suspect description or make an arrest. oakland police are investigating the department's first officer-involved shooting of the year. all started early this morning on macarthur boulevard near 66th avenue. police say a sergeant confronted a man firing a rifle. the man shot at the sergeant and missed and then took off running during a chase. the sergeant shot and hit the man who ran into a nearby apartment building, and that led to an hours long standoff. the suspect eventually surrendered. it's unclear how badly he was hit. we're told he is in the hospital and stable. reopened and ready for business. less than two weeks after a section of the santa cruz whar

but, alyssa, your thoughts on this? mean, could there be a jailbreak that we're going to see later today if other republicans get on board with thomas massie, this thing could get ugly. >> it could. listen, i've been through a lot of these speaker fights in my previous life on capitol hill, and a lot of it is about sending a signal. so i actually agree with the congressman you were interviewing before. there's a world in which mike johnson goes down on the first ballot, and a number of freedom caucus members, i'm watching who we call the gaetz eight, who last congress voted against kevin mccarthy on multiple ballots. where's lauren boebert? where's chip roy in this to register that they have some discontent but then ultimately come around on a second ballot. mike johnson has basically the two most powerful things he could have the donald trump endorsement and simply the math. the math does not math for anyone else. he is the most likely person to be able to get the votes necessary to be speaker. and i would add to that

and alyssa, i don't know.'t know what you were thinking, but i really personally was immensely touched by the relationship between gerald ford and jimmy carter. you know, they had a very bitter campaign. all these campaigns are bitter, right? obama, romney, whatever. they're always bitter. some more bitter than others. but gerald ford and jimmy carter actually legitimately becoming friends almost reluctantly after stuck on this plane together to and from the anwar funeral in 1981 and just really became very close. and it would be nice to think of that being possible again. >> well, it's a reminder that the presidency is bigger than any one man or woman who may someday hold it, and the stakes of the office, the things that they will encounter. >> it is this unique and small club that is different as barack obama and donald trump may seem, they've actually had to encounter some very similar things. obama the rise of i.s.i.s. when he was in office. donald trump dealing with essentially eliminating the i.s.i.s. ca

in san francisco, alyssa goard, nbc bay area news.at so much, so many people here in the bay area across the country really wanting to pitch in to help with what happened in la. and, you know, one of the things that sparked this was obviously the winds we get we're getting winds here as well. it's an interesting situation. you know, it's not what you would expect in january to have red flag warnings for multiple days. but we have kind of an unusual pattern that's affecting what's happening in southern california and also what's happening here in the bay area tonight, as you saw just a few minutes ago, we continue to see wind gusts in our local mountains from 40 to 60mph, but not so much in san jose. it's still pretty mild outside. it's 60. you got some north winds at times and some pret dry conditions, and you can see it especially out towards dublin. 19% humidity right now. north wind at 12mph. at 58 degrees. we're seeing less wind. humidity at 71% closer to san rafael. again, not really seeing too much in the way of north wind. and

alyssa goard, nbc, bay area news. yet another sign of the trump administration's crackdown on immigration. around 250 service members arrived in el paso, texas, near the southern border this afternoon. an initial batch of troops a arrived to the neary fort bliss on thursday. it comes after the pentagon announced 1500 troops were being sent to el paso and san diego to help crack down on immigration at the border. new at 11 the trump administration is reportedly hammering out a new deal for tiktok, and it involves tapping software companyracle. the deal was first reported by npr and later reuters. it would allow tiktok's china based owner, bytedance, to keep a minority stake in the company. but the app's algorithm, data collection and software updates would be managed by oracle. last weekend, tiktok was temporarily offline when a law saying the app must be sold to an american company on national security grounds or be banned took effect. mr. trump signed an executive order seeking to delay the law for 75 days. now, desp

well, i'mjoined by the captain, alyssa, thank you forjoining us. yes, ma'am.bit about the group. so the kilgore college rangerettes are a precision dance team. we were the first drill team ever, and so we were made in the 19a0s, and we've just been high kicking ever since. amazing. and we've been seeing some of the high kicking this morning. it's too early, in my opinion. but anyway, so, is this your first time performing at the parade? yes, this is my first time performing here at a london parade, but we have done the macy's day parade back in the states, and we do a bunch of local parades as well. so how does it feel to be here in london taking part in the new year's day parade? it is just amazing to be over here, just to see all the different cultures and be able to bring our red, white and blue over here to europe. well, we're very happy to have you here. so, just talk to us about what you've got in store. so you're starting at midday. how long will you be in the parade and just talk about the route? so the route, i believe, is about three miles. and so we

i'm going to vote for his confirmation. >> alyssa, what do you think? >> well, listen, i think pete hegseth is going to be confirmed by the senate. i don't anticipate any more no votes other than lisa murkowski and susan collins. it sounds like mitch mcconnell will likely be voting to confirm him. and listen, president trump is entitled to his cabinet picks and the senate has an advise and consent role to do. did they go far enough? it's hard to say. i mean, i think it was a massive strategic error by democrats in his confirmation hearing to focus so heavily on the more salacious allegations, sexual allegations of sexual misconduct or some of his past relationships with women in his life. rather than focus on what i think having worked at the pentagon for the previous secretary of defense, that he just lacks some basic qualifications. some know how to do the job on day one. and frankly, if i was still advising donald trump, which i certainly am not, i think he's entitled to somebody who wants to execute his agenda there, but also has the know how and th

. >> alyssa farah griffin is with us as well. alyssa, historically, the honeymoon doesn't necessarily last all that long. expectations for biden and obama, for that matter, were even higher just ahead of their first terms. how does trump navigate this? >> listen, i think trump is keenly aware that he's got about two years to really put his agenda in place ahead of the midterms. he comes into office with a lot better of an idea of how to enact policies, how he wants to get his agenda done than he did in 2016. i would expect we're going to see some executive orders on day one, probably related to immigration and the border. i think he's going to try to do as much as he can through executive action, knowing that even with a house of representatives and a senate that is favorable to him, things on capitol hill still take a lot of time, and he's going to want to clock some wins early. but let's be clear. you know, those of us who do follow it closely, there's already been plenty of drama. there will be. that's kind of the inevitabilit

alyssa goard. today in the bay. now to the southern california wildfires and the emotional return of families who were forced to evacuate their neighborhoods as crews continue to battle flames. as we approach two weeks throughout l.a. county, evacuation orders have been lifted in some areas that allowed people in the fire zone to see what's left of their properties. while some homes in the pacific palisad neighborhood and altadena were untouched by the fire. thousands of other homes have been reduced to piles of rubble and ash so far. firefighters reached 52% containment in the palisades and 81% for the eaton fire. they remain the two largest in a series of wildfires still raging in los angeles. meanwhile, president elect donald trump is expected to visit the fire ravaged areas this coming week. it would be his first trip outside the nation's capital following his inauguration tomorrow. this all comes as he's openly threatened to withhold or restrict relief funding. governor gavin newsom says he has an open invite f

but i know alyssa very well, and she's exactly right. and assad, it's. >> sort of. >> it does send a signal that maybe you're not qualified for the job, and certainly you don't have the proper judgment. but i would humbly submit, alex, that she's only the second craziest nominee behind rfk jr. but when you look at her past, look what she's done. look how she flip flops. look at the fact that she's, you know, she she never sees a camera she wants to run away from. so i think tulsi gabbard probably is the second worst choice we've seen in the trump pick so far. >> and we should note that rfk jr. he also has a confirmation hearing on thursday scheduled. let's go to trump's capitol riot pardons because before the election, trump said he'd consider pardoning january 6th convicts. i'm curious to your reaction when he followed through with pardons or clemency to 1500 plus defendants, including those convicted of brutally attacking police officers? >> you know, when you ask that question, it's very difficult because i saw the call records, you k

he's interviewed by alyssa court. afterwards is a weekly interview program with relevant ghost hosts interviewing top nonfiction authors about their latest work. i'm doing great, alyssa. it's so great to, uh, to finally meet you and talk to you. yeah, it's very, really great. i've always seen your byline, and. yeah, like, well, we're so much in common. in fact, you know, i wrote a book called bootstrapped. it's the only time you'll see it at this show. it's a book about the myth of pulling yourself up by your bootstraps and and the grind set narrative and how it harms people across this country. free americans for many years. and i realized reading your book, 99% perspiration, that we share so much. and i felt like i was reading the words of a mental twin. so what brought you to this topic about writing a book about fast food? this is your second book. i think. yes, this is my second book. so my first book was about sort of the history of america told through fast food and the postwar economy. and a lot of a lot of th
