Hey, you want a White Christmas . Theres a shot of it for some folks. Ill tell you about it coming up. Very exciting. We move on to washington right now. Overnight congress avoiding Government Shutdown for the moment but as the president ago this morning, the u. S. Is facing backlash over his decision to recognize jerusalem as the capital of israel. The u. N. Voting to condemn that move despite ambassador nikki haleys threat. Our Congressional Correspondent mary bruce has all the latest from the white house. Good morning, mary. Reporter good morning, amy. Well in a collective rebuke the United Nations voted overwhelmingly to condemn the president s decision to recognize jerusalem as the capital of israel. It came even after the president s u. N. Ambassador nikki haley, issued a direct threat suggesting that the u. S. Would think twice about funding the u. N. If it went through with this, adding that the u. S. Will be quote, taking name but the u. N. Did it anyway and afterwards the former cia director john brennan called out the president directly tweeting donald trump expects Blind Loyalty from everyone qualities usually found in narcissistic vengeful autocrats. All right, well we know the president is planning celebrate the holidays heading south . Reporter the president will shortly head to palm beach where he will spend the holiday with his family at maralago. Could be one of the longest stretches he is away from washington not on official business but, of course the president is always president , and he is expected to be attended to official business while down there and im guessing you could probably expect a couple tweets as well. Probably on tap. Ry thanks. Tom. Quite a year in washington lets bring in matthew dowd for a yearend review of the presidency breaking down what he promised and if hes delivered. Good morning to you. Lets start with the president s tax cut plan a clear victory for the president , also getting rid of the Obamacare Mandate which penalized people for not Getting Health Insurance but a battle he hasnt won to fully obamacare. I legislative victory on the tax cut said and youre right to say on the obamacare side its not a clear victory but there is a huge difference between a legislative and political victory so put a lot of yards on the field and has a lot of first downs but for political purposes he hasnt accomplished that much. His signature issue on the campaign trail was the promise a wall and have mexico pay for it. Thats still a promise he hasnt fully delivered on. I think itll be one very difficult to deliver on. All the compromises he has to do with Congress Related to the immigration issues and this one is tied up in it. One, with those compromises and, two, the fact that the budget now, hes got a 1. 5, 1. 1 trillion deficit that will come from the tax cuts and building that wall will cost billions and having covered the campaign, i think it will difficult for him to do in an Election Year thats already problematic. Yeah hes going to have to find that funding. One of the next big challengepresident. The midterm elections and new reports about a heated staff and Corey Lewandowski who got into it with bill stepien. I think hes worried and he should be worried. Not a real staff problem but fundamental problem. All president s in their first midterms with very few exceptions have huge problems with their party. This president has the lowest Approval Rating and you know from the data lowest Approval Rating a president has ended the first year at going into christmas than any president has ever had. That and the fact that his party is disliked much more than the democrats sets up for a huge wave for the democrats and big problem for the republicans in both the house and senate in 2018. Also shown hes willing to get out and campaign hard for candidates he does like and endorse. Matthew dowd for us thanks so much. Merry christmas. Now to that urgent search for a possible serial shooter suspected in at least ten driveby shootings in california in the last month. Police say its a top priority to find whoever is responsible and matt gutman is in california with the very latest on this investigation and, matt this gunman issing itting people when traffic is at its heaviest. Reporter thats right, amy. Police say this mystery shooter has been stalking passing vehicles during the morning and evening commutes. Now, just imagine being in a car like this when it is slammed by gunfire. Right now police say that its just pure luck that nobody has been killed yet. Someone just shot my boss. Somebody shot your boss . Reporter this morning authorities are desperately searching for a driver they say is terrorizing rural california. Ran domly firing guns at passing vehicles. We are working very hard to find you. We will hold you responsible. Reporter ten cars have been hit in the past month alone around the fresno area. This map shows the density of the attacks, all occurring within this 12squaremile area. If this keeps going it will be a matter of time before we have a murder reporter it was nearly that. Earlier this month one man calling 911 after his boss was struck in the chest with shrapnel while she was driveing. My bosst through her window in the car. Send an ambulance . Did she get hit . Shes bleeding. It is random, again, we only have one person sot has been injured. Reporter police say there are two threads connecting them. Mostly happening near morning or evening rush hour and many of the motorists say the shots have been coming from a darkcolored pickup with oversized tires. A Common Thread in all the reports is t victims say they heard bangs as another vehicle passed them going the opposite direction than the reporter concern from police is not only a motorist might be shot but it might cause that vehicle to lose control. Police say they have very little to go on right now. Theyre not even certain that that darkcolored pickup truck is the vehicle theyre looking for. Much less the identity of the person or people inside of it. Amy. Wow, so little to go on. So frightening. Thank you very much. In california an update for the millions affected by wildfires out there. All significant evacuation orders have now been lifted and the worst appears to be over for the thomas fire which has become the second largest wildfire in state history burning more than 400 square miles and forcing 100,000 people to leave their homes. Its now 65 contained, and most people can return home for the holidays. Certainly a gift. We are in the final days before christmas and amazon and walmart going headtohead battling for your dallas for lastminute gifts and our economicing correspondent Rebecca Jarvis is here with the deadlines you need to know. The deadline is obviously monday. Were basically there, amy, yes, good morning. It is that special time of year where retailers wage an allout war to get our attention and money and nowhere more evident than walmart and amazon. Two of the most popular destinations for Online Shoppers and stepped them right up until the last minute walmart you have until december 23rd, 4 00 p. M. To order online and pick up in store on Christmas Eve. With amazon if youre a prime customer you can sign up for a trial membership and have till Christmas Eve at 9 30 a. M. Thats right, because, you know i think christmas is on a monday so people think ive got the weekend to get the gift right . But thats going to be a little tough. Shortcuts for going online. If you are hitting the stores this weekend amy, you have to expect malls to be packed. 53 of consumers, about 126 Million People plan to shop this weekend on Super Saturday which is the last saturday before christmas so its a good idea going to the mall order online pick it up in store and lastminute shortcuts, some things that never go out of stock, ebooks, order them electronically. Specify the date theyre delivered by email. Memberships and subscriptions, spotify, netflix, all can be purchased online and gift cards, you can send those and theres a list of gift cards up to 20 off. Big discounts on those and finally a number of retailers are doing something new. Target has a gift now option so you choose a gift on their site its delivered by email to the recipient. They can adjust and exchange it before it ships so basically an istmas morning with the gift but the actual item comes later. You just open your email instead of the gift. Isnt that wonderful .
