RSVP <a href="http://bit.ly/1HMKcdb" target="_blank">http://bit.ly/1HMKcdb</a> BREAKING – “US can’t access NSA phone records in California terror case,” by AP’s Ted Bridis: “The U.S. government’s ability to review and analyze five years' worth of telephone records for the married couple blamed in the deadly shootings in California lapsed just four days earlier when the [NSA’s] controversial mass surveillance program was formally shut down.“Under a court order, those historical calling records at the NSA are now off-limits to agents running the FBI terrorism investigation even with a warrant. Instead, under the new USA Freedom Act, authorities were able to obtain roughly two years’ worth of calling records directly from the phone companies of the married couple blamed in the attack.” <a href="http://apne.ws/1NaD7zU" target="_blank">http://apne.ws/1NaD7zU</a>--WHITE HOUSE STATEMENT, 1:45 p.m.: “The President’s team ... as of yet uncovered no indication the killers were part of an organized group or formed part of a broader terrorist cell.”--POTUS, in his weekly address: “We are Americans. We will uphold our values—a free and open society. We are strong. And we are resilient. And we will not be terrorized.”--“Obama discusses gun control with [Gabby] Giffords [and Mark Kelly],” by Sarah Wheaton: “The White House meeting also included senior adviser Valerie Jarrett, who is overseeing the process of drafting possible executive actions to prevent gun violence. The meeting had been planned ahead of the shooting in San Bernardino ... It was not on the president’s public schedule.” <a href="http://politi.co/1O8tth6" target="_blank">http://politi.co/1O8tth6</a> **SUBSCRIBE to Playbook by email: <a href="http://politi.co/1M75UbX" target="_blank">http://politi.co/1M75UbX</a>INSIDE THE CAMPAIGNS – “Cruz aims to elbow out Ben Carson,” by Katie Glueck and Daniel Strauss in Cedar Rapids, Iowa: Carson “is now plummeting in national surveys after displaying extraordinary difficulty grasping foreign policy issues. And that was before a widely mocked performance Thursday at the Republican Jewish Coalition where Carson read a factoid-laced speech about the history of Israel and repeatedly mispronounced the names of key actors in the Middle East, including Hamas.” <a href="http://politi.co/1R1t6Lj" target="_blank">http://politi.co/1R1t6Lj</a>--“Bush is convincing donors the polls are wrong: His team is selling a Trump vs. Bush vision that relies on big-money backers ignoring public data,” by Eli Stokols and Marc Caputo: “His attempted attacks on rivals have fallen flat. His $30 million in TV ads have failed to move his numbers. … [H]e’s polling at a miserable 3 percent nationally. But there’s one significant success that is keeping his campaign alive: Jeb Bush has convinced major GOP donors and supporters that the polls are wrong.” <a href="http://politi.co/1TI93A5" target="_blank">http://politi.co/1TI93A5</a> DAILY TRUMP -- Sunday’s NYT, “95,000 Words, Many of Them Ominous, From Donald Trump’s Tongue,” by Patrick Healy and Maggie Haberman: “The New York Times analyzed every public utterance by Mr. Trump over the past week from rallies, speeches, interviews and news conferences to explore the leading candidate’s hold on the Republican electorate for the past five months. The transcriptions yielded 95,000 words and several powerful patterns, demonstrating how Mr. Trump has built one of the most surprising political movements in decades and, historians say, echoing the appeals of some demagogues of the past century. ... “The most striking hallmark was Mr. Trump’s constant repetition of divisive phrases, harsh words and violent imagery that American presidents rarely use ... He has a particular habit of saying ‘you’ and ‘we’ as he inveighs against a dangerous ‘them’ or unnamed other — usually outsiders.” <a href="http://nyti.ms/1YQwt9l" target="_blank">http://nyti.ms/1YQwt9l</a>N.Y.

Harding as the Republican presidential candidate.” <a href="http://nyti.ms/1Q7hiaj" target="_blank">http://nyti.ms/1Q7hiaj</a>--ERICK ERICKSON blasts his list, “I shot holes in the NY Times editorial.” With a gun.

TIMES QUOTATION OF THE DAY – David Bowdich, the F.B.I. assistant director in charge of the Los Angeles office, on the inquiry into the San Bernardino shooting rampage: “There’s a number of pieces of evidence which has essentially pushed us off the cliff to say we are considering this an act of terrorism.”** A message from JPMorgan Chase & Co.: After years of friendship and family ties brought them together, three proud women from Detroit decided to start a business together.

Be Ready to See How It Gets Made”: “A herd of video-camera toting and microphone-wielding journalists thundered through the home of the San Bernardino shooters ... pawing and photographing passports, credit cards, driver’s licenses, Social Security cards, documents, photos, clothing and other personal effects left in the modest two-floor apartment. ... Many journalists took to Twitter to criticize the networks for broadcasting unvetted, personal information.” <a href="http://politi.co/1NwbXad" target="_blank">http://politi.co/1NwbXad</a> --“MSNBC Apologizes for Showing Live Footage of ... Suspect’s Home” – Statement, via Hollywood Reporter: “MSNBC and other news organizations were invited into the home by the landlord after law enforcement officials had finished examining the site and returned control to the landlord ... Although MSNBC was not the first crew to enter the home, we did have the first live shots from inside. We regret that we briefly showed images of photographs and identification cards that should not have been aired without review.” <a href="http://bit.ly/1IvQkqg" target="_blank">http://bit.ly/1IvQkqg</a>THOUGHT LEADERS -- ROBERT GATES takes on TRUMP, without naming him – WashPost op-ed, “The kind of president we need”: “We need a president who is restrained. … Restrained in rhetoric, avoiding unrealistic promises, exaggerated claims of success and dire consequences if his or her initiatives are not adopted exactly as proposed. … Restrained from questioning the motives of those who disagree and treating them as enemies with no redeeming qualities.” <a href="http://wapo.st/1XHfNnM" target="_blank">http://wapo.st/1XHfNnM</a> --YOUSEF AL-OTAIBA, UAE Ambassador to the U.S., in Foreign Policy, “A Vision for a Moderate, Modern Muslim World: Creating an ideology of openness, optimism, and opportunity in the Gulf is a key component to defeating extremism”: “[S]uccess on the battlefield may be the easy part. … True victory can only come when the more powerful forces of tolerance and progress prevail.” <a href="http://atfp.co/1NMDEOe" target="_blank">http://atfp.co/1NMDEOe</a> MONEY HONEYS -- “Bush’s biggest donor [Mike Fernandez]: Trump a ‘bullyionaire,’” by Politico’s Marc Caputo: “Calling Donald Trump ‘a hater’ and a “narcissistic BULLYionaire,’ Jeb Bush’s biggest donor has decided on his own to take out full page ads trashing the Republican poll leader in newspapers in Miami, Las Vegas and Des Moines. Mike Fernandez, a billionaire who has contributed more than $3 million to elect Bush, … stopped just short of comparing Trump to a dictator, but the full-page ads he wants to run Dec. 14 make reference to the masses who were swayed in other countries by demagogues during tough times.“‘Look at Hitler in Germany, Mussolini in Italy and Peron in Argentina. When people lose hope, they are susceptible to those who offer to think for them. Today, in our midst, one “popular” man stands first in the polls,’ the ad says. ‘The more divisive and outrageous he is, the more he appeals to some people. I worry as I witness whipped-up crowds emboldening and encouraging forked-tongue hatefulness.’” <a href="http://politi.co/1N1UkO4" target="_blank">http://politi.co/1N1UkO4</a> ...

The TV buy is $846,750 and the radio buy is $177,747.” The TV ad <a href="http://bit.ly/1N90HNC" target="_blank">http://bit.ly/1N90HNC</a> ROB SALITERMAN INTERVIEW -- “Snapping Up Voters: Hitting the youth bloc where they live—on their phones,” by Sasha Issenberg on Harvard Business School’s alumni site: “When Rob Saliterman (MBA 2011) started selling online political ads at Google, they were almost all destined for people already seeking political content, placed either on specific networks or in response to user searches. Over nearly four years at the search giant, Saliterman—a 33-year-old veteran of the Bush White House and [RNC]—promoted new tools that permitted campaigns to run ads for a select group of voters before YouTube videos. “After moving to launch Snapchat’s first political advertising sales team this past spring, Saliterman returned to many of his former clients with a pitch for an entirely different type of online opportunity: a place to show campaign ads to people who probably don’t expect to ever see them.” <a href="http://hbs.me/1ODM60Z" target="_blank">http://hbs.me/1ODM60Z</a> PLAYBOOKERS’ SANDY BERGER MEMORIES -- Matthew Shay, president and CEO of National Retail Federation: “In the 1990’s and early 2000’s, I got to know Sandy when we were both part of the early-morning workout group at Tenley Sport & Health Club on Wisconsin Ave. ... One morning, Sandy got a message on his cellphone and was trying to return the call, but because the gym is located in the basement there was notoriously poor service. I remember him asking whether any of us had spare change so he could use the basement pay phone.”--Former Albright Stonebridge colleague Ben Chang: “More a sustained image than a single memory, Sandy took the time: time to mentor, time to coach, time to listen and counsel students, interns, his team, his colleagues. If you sought to sit with him for life and career advice, it was never a matter of if but solely of when he could make time. Time which seems increasingly rare these days. And each person with whom he sat is moved to pay it forward.”--Bill Antholis, director and CEO of the Miller Center at UVa, draws attention to a two-day interview with the Miller Center in 2005. “It is ... the closest thing he did to a memoir of his time in the Clinton Administration. He even talks about the fact that he did NOT write a memoir.” The 2005 interview <a href="http://bit.ly/1XMRFuE" target="_blank">http://bit.ly/1XMRFuE</a> --Lynne Weil, alum of Congress, State and the BBG: “Sandy was part of a group of DC-based foreign policy luminaries whom I recruited to Loudoun County, Va., to stump for Obama/Biden in 2008. He walked door-to-door with a clipboard in hand, going through the whole canvassing spiel with gusto like any regular guy.”--Dan Glickman of the Aspen Institute: “Sandy had a passionate commitment to ending world hunger, especially in the context of stabilizing regions of the world which had witnessed food shortages and food price spikes. In his leadership role at the World Food Program USA, he saw the relationship between feeding hungry people and resolving current and future humanitarian crises around the world.”--Lisa Caputo, former press secretary first lady to First Lady Hillary Clinton and deputy assistant to President Clinton: “Sandy was a caring and dedicated public servant, colleague and friend. I will miss him greatly, especially our family visits during summers on Martha’s Vineyard. Rest in peace, my friend.”--Former Ambassador Miriam Sapiro, now a principal at Summit Strategies and a non-resident senior fellow at Brookings: “When I joined the NSC in 1997 pregnant with my first child, Sandy said ‘Don’t worry, we’re a family kind of place.’ He meant it. To this day when I’m asked by new hires for advice about working at the WH, I tell them Sandy’s admonition that if the awe ever wears off, it’s time to do something different.”PLAYBOOK METRO SECTION -- “Glen’s Garden Market Opens in Shaw This Weekend With Double The Beer Garden,” by Washington City Paper’s Jessica Sidman: “There will soon be a new place to find D.C.-made chocolates, vinegars, beers, and more in Shaw. Glen’s Garden Market [owned and run by Joe Lieberman alum Danielle Vogel, Ken’s wife], which sources nearly everything within the Chesapeake Bay Watershed, [today opened] its second location at 1924 8th St. NW at noon.“The new location is less than half the size of its Dupont counterpart, but its beer garden will be twice as big. The outdoor space is getting an awning and will have heaters, fans, and lights so it can be used year-round.
