Of his visit given the rhetoric of his campaign. Nbcs Chris Jansing is on the campus there in columbus and joins us now. Chris, i know an Interfaith Service is expected later this hour. How are students reacting to the president elect coming . Are they in favor or objecting . Reporter you know, its a campus of 60,000 people but there are definitely some objecting. You mentioned theres a press conference, an interfaith press conference, and their concern is that donald trump is coming here to use it as a platform for what they consider to be his radical immigration views. He did make comments about whether that young man, 18 years old, a somali refugee, should have ever been allowed in the country at all. Students arent the only ones objecting thomas. Among those invited, a professor e emeritus, william clark. He said thanks but no thanks and i spoke to him about why he refused mr. Trumps invitation. Wasnt expecting that kind of event, especially so quickly. It came at 10 00 in the morning. I had until midday to make a decision. Reporter you decided no. Why . I was not 100 comfortable with what i think the purpose of it might be. You think its political. Well, it might be. Theres certainly been a track record and as i say, from the initial tweet that came out right after the event, there was clearly a very definite bias on the interpretation of the event. Reporter this event is being kept very low key. It is not open to the public. It is not open to the media. There is expected to be two meetings, one with those who were hurt in this attack, those who wanted to be there to meet with the president elect, and then a second meeting with First Responders, including emts and police. Thomas . Chris jansing live on the campus of the Ohio State University in columbus. Thank you very much. Even with the president elect on the road, his Transition Team hints more cabinet picks could be coming today. Trump reportedly tapping a fast food exec to lead the labor department. This after the president elect escalated a twitter war with Carrier Union leader chuck jones who told nbcs Hallie Jackson last hour that hes okay. Maybe i could have phrased it in a different manner,ut it is what it is, and i stand behind all my comments. Even calling him out on the numbers that he was using. Im not offended or anything else by his comments. Really dont faze me one way or another. Lets dig into this. Kristin welker and Hallie Jackson who spoke with jones last hour. I know you had a chance to speak with that union leader. What more did he have to say and does he consider himself fair game . Yeah, i think so, and he has no regrets. I think thats with one of the big takeaways. He said days will go donald trump lied his butt off. He was using more colorful language than that. He says i dont regret saying that. Donald trump said 1,100 jobs would be saved. The number even according to carrier is closer to 800. I acally also spoke with jones last night right after these eets started happening. Evers explaining that he was getting threats, people who said, hey, i know where your kids live, i know what kind of car you drive, you better watch out. But again, jones, brushing all of it off. Here is what he had to say to me just a little bit ago. A couple minutes ago at least that he had essentially no issues with what he said. He made and hed move ahead with trump if he saves jobs. The first thing out of his mouth was i want the people to know that i thank the president elect for saving these jobs. And lets go to kristin. The reports swirling about whether mitt romney is in or out. We know hes in new york for a paid speech. But could he be the next secretary of state . So break down what your sources are telling you about the latest on the cabinet suspension. Reporter well, first to the position of labor secretary, my sources are telling me that andy pudster is the frontrunner for that. Who is he . Hes the ceo of the Parent Company for carls jr. And hardee hardees. He wants to scale back regulations. Hes opposed to increasing the minimum wage. Let me read you something he said recently about the workforce and about machines. He said machines are always polite. They always up sell. They never take a vacation. They never show up late. Theres never a slip and fall or an age, sex, or race discrimination case. Those comments raising a lot of eyebrows on capitol hill and particularly among some of the very workers who helped to sweep president elect donald trump into the white house. Here is the reaction from chuck schumer. The labor secretary should be someone who wakes up every day thinking about how they can raise american wages and fight for american workers. Mr. Puz ders case shows exactly the opposite. This pick could get real opposition on capitol hill. You asked about mitt romney. We are watching him closely. He is in new york today, not to meet with president elect trump, but instead hes going to speak at an event a little bit later on today. Were tracking what he has to say very closely in terms of where he stands right now for that secretary of state position. We know that he was one of the top contenders. The sense is this decision is making taking quite a long time. So the search has expanded. Thats what we know. Has he fallen off of the radar . We dont know that for sure, but what we can say is that this search, the pool of people who the president elect is looking at has expanded. A former navy admiral was here to meet with president elect trump. Its not our sense hes really being looked at for that position but he is someone who initially was getting a lot of buzz. He was asked is he in contention to be secretary of state . He didnt really answer that question directly, so he zngt give us too much inside into what specifically he talked to the president elect about, but theres no doubt the president elect likely asked him about Foreign Policy, national security, all of those issues that he would be able to talk about. But again, transition officials insist the president elect is going to take his time with this appointment because it is one of the most important decisions that he will make, thomas. So the tower intrigue goes on. Were still waiting for donald trump to travel on to ohio and meanwhile we have democrats that are blasting the pick of scott pruitt who is oklahomas a. G. But tapped for trumps epa. Listen to this. With control of epa pruitt could do immense damage to the water that our children drink, the air they breathe. He will try to bring the epa into its knees. He will try to turn it into every polluters ally. Every polluters ally. Democrats did express hope the president elect would find a balance after his meetings with al gore, leonardo dicaprio. Is this a way to do Good Cop Bad Cop with pruitt . I dont know. Thats a good question. You look at what hes done, his record on Climate Change. Hes fought them. Hes been one of the key architects of trying to dismantle some of president obamas Climate Change moves. Theres no expectation that is would change if he does get confirmed to head the epa. Hes suing the agency hes tapped to run, and so i think you look at sort of the overall picture. Yes, donald trump in that interview with the New York Times a couple weeks ago said maybe he would be open, he would keep an open mind on the paris Climate Change accord. Now just like i think back to tom price, for example, his pick to head the department of health and human services. Price was a guy where we said almost that exact same phrase. He was the chief architect of trying to dismantle president obamas in that case Affordable Care act. Youre seeing a lot of change that is could be coming under president elect trump. You spent a lot of time knowing this campaign, and we have the pruitt pick, i tried to get sean spicer on the record yesterday about the conundrum between a pruitt pick and ivanka trump talking about want be to be an advocate yes, for Climate Change. Ivanka is going to win that battle. No matter who gets in the epa job. The first daughter is going to win on strategy, right . She has had an outsized role in her fathers decisionmaking process i think. Shes been somebody who has been obviously i dont want to say a surrogate because i think the family bristles. E gets o there and sfpeaks for her father when it comes to issues like child care and climate as well. He is making this pick to put in somebody as head of the epa that has a record on policy that goes against the current administrations plans. You put me in a bind on how to answer that question because if i was a predictress there could be conflict between sort of the two ideologies that the president elect will be hearing about. I think it plays into the ideology that donald trump will make republicans and democrats all mad because hes part of the surprise party. Hes going to surprise everybody with the moves he makes and we know the New York Times is reporting that the president elect likely will hand off his empire to his sons. One thing we can forward is ivanka is resigning her post within the trump organization. There was still the talk of her and her husband Jared Kushner moving to d. C. Whats the Newest Development on that . We get the formal announcement coming up on december the 15th. Reporter well, right, and the times also noting based on their reporting that the president elect is not going to completely divest from his business holdings. We pressed transition officials about that. We continue to try to get an answer from them. Theyre not weighing in. Theyre not going to weigh in until the president elect holds his News Conference and, of course, thats going to take place next week. They dont want to get ahead of him, but if youre reading between the lines, thomas, it could signify that some of those details, and, of course, the devil is in the details, some of those allimportant details are still being worked out. Kristin welker, Hallie Jackson, sorry to you put you in the conundrum box there, but thank you sketch. Well have a lot more riddles coming up. Weve been asking in todays microsoft pulse question, in the Trump Twitter wars, is going after union leader chuck jones fair game . Let us know what you think at pulse. Msnbc. Com. Weve got that breaking news out of georgia where Authorities Say the man wanted in a standoff turned deadly has killed himself. The manhunt now over as multiple s. W. A. T. Teams surrounded a house where Minquell Kennedy Lembrick was suspected of hiding a few hours ago and investigators briefing the media in just the last hour. As the first responding officers were getting there, they heard what sounded like a gunshot in the residence. When the s. W. A. T. Team made entry they found one suspect inside who was deceased from what appeared to be a selfinflicted gunshot wound. The suspect has been possibly identified as mr. Lembrick. All right. So we want to go to nbcs kerry sanders. Kerry is on the ground for us and was asking questions from that press conference. Kerry, what more did we learn . Reporter we understand that the authorities after they heard word of the gunshot, that there may be somebody in there who may have a gun and they werent sure what was going on. So rather than doing a dynamic entry and bursting through the front door, they decided they would use caution. They surrounded the home. They emptied the homes on either side of the occupants. One was an elderly woman they got out, and then this s. W. A. T. Team surrounding the area decided they would send in a robot. The robot went through the door, looked around, didnt see anything. They attempted to make contact with somebody inside to see if there was a need for negotiation. Again, nobody responded, and eventually they determined here at the end that it was a result of a selfinflicted gunshot wound that led to the death of the suspect here. Now, its interesting, the Georgia Bureau of investigation noted he has a very lengthy record, a convicted felon, somebody who should not have had a gun to begin with, and so while not passing judgment on the judicial system noting that this is somebody who probably was in the wrong place for a very long time, in and out with the authorities and now having a gun in his possession. There was a 70,000 reward, and there is somebody who is now in line to get that because it was the sheriff who got a call directly on his cell phone from somebody in the community saying, i think i know where this guy is holed up. I think i know where your suspect is, and so that person gave the tip to the sheriff, and it was the sheriff who then organized with the Police Department here to bring the s. W. A. T. Teams in and surround the house. The authorities at this point, as you know, have a whole other sadness on their hand. That is one officer who has died from the americus Police Department and then another officer who is at the hospital in macon, about an hour from here, who is in Critical Condition. The authorities from the georgia southwestern university, which is where officer smith, who was shot and is in Critical Condition, where he worked, they say that they dont even know whether he has been told that his best friend these two officers were best friends was shot and killed. Hes in Critical Condition. We dont even know whether he is conscious or not, but at this point so much sadness, but the conclusion at least into what is almost a 26hour manhunt for a cop killer. Kerry sanders reporting in georgia for us. Kerry, thank you very much. I appreciate it. Weve also been following this breaking news out of nevada. Authorities in reno just holding a News Conference updating the investigation in the policeinvolved shooting of a 14yearold High School Student. That teen now hospitalized. Weve got the very latest on the details and questions about did police use appropriate force. World ugly and messy. They are the natural born enemy of the way things are. Yes, ideas are scary, and messy and fragile. But under the proper care, they become something beautiful. With toothpaste or plain water. An their dentures and even though their dentures look clean, in reality theyre not. If a denture were to be put under a microscope, we can see all the bacteria that still exists on the denture, and that bacteria multiplies very rapidly. Thats why dentists recommend cleaning with polident everyday. Polidents unique micro clean formula works in just 3 minutes, killing 99. 99 of odor causing bacteria. For a cleaner, fresher, brighter denture every day. Lets just get a sandwich or something. Or something . You dont just graduate from medical school, or something. And we dont just pull smoked chicken, bake fresh foccacia and handslice avocado. Theres nothing or something about it. Zero really can be a hero. Lemonheads schoolhouse rock get zero down, zero deposit, zero due at signing, and zero first months payment on select volkswagen models. Right now at the volkswagen sign then drive event. Mother inlaw with a glad bag, full of trash. What happens next . Nothing. Only glad has febreze to neutralize odors for 5 days. Guaranteed. Even the most perceptive noses wont notice the trash. Be happy. Its glad. I would also like to thank our dedicated officers with the School DistrictPolice Department who acted swiftly to protect the safety of our students. Had it not been for their quick actions and professionalism, i truly believe that the outcome could have been much worse for our students. Okay. There we have authorities in neva speaking moments ago about the policeinvolved shooting of a High School Student. We want to warn you that the video of the incident that brought this teen down is disturbing. So take a look. Its a 14yearold who is now listed in Critical Condition because he lunged at students wielding large knives on the campus of his high school. Now, this is an armed police campus. There was an officer on duty there at Hug High School firing one shot at the teen while the other students watched. Now, there are questions over whether that officer made the proper move. Joining me here at 30 rock, msnbc Senior Editor cal perry. This has been a hot story online and certainly through social media. Do we have any wort of a motive . No, we dont. Police are saying the investigation is und way so they dont want to discuss what a potential motive could be because theyre still going through those witness interviews, and as we saw in that dramatic and as you said sometimes disturbing video, the student is obviously very animated and theres a threat there to all the students surrounding him. You see him there in the blue shirt. The investigation, we found out, is being carried out not only by reno police, but also the county Sheriffs Office and the fbi. The question is as the motive becomes more and more clear and weve heard it could have been a fight, it could have been a disturbed student, it could be any number of possibilities, what the use of force was from that police officer. The High School Student was shot one time by the officer, as you said in Critical Condition. The investigation is just getting under way, thomas. All right, cal. Thank you very much. Keep us posted. Our cal perry here at 30 rock. Hillary clinton heading to the hill. Speaking later today at a reception for the Outgoing Senate mi in ordnority leader ae he may be heading out, harry reid is not holding out when it comes to the president elect. Well show you why af
