"chris jansing reports" starts right now. good day. i'm chris jansing live at msnbc headquarters in new york city. decisions, decisions. so many developments unfolding in all four of donald trump's criminal cases that come thursday he'll have to choose which courtroom to be in. we'll dig into what all of that means for voters and this critical question, will there be a verdict in any of those cases

before people head to the polls in november? plus, a rare display of defiance against trump, by senators helping pass a foreign aid package he doesn't like. the problem is, house republicans are showing no sign they're willing to follow suit. so, what now? and the warning signs were everywhere. neighbors and family members of the houston shooter described her as dangerous and violent. so why did she still have access to a gun or to her son who was critically wounded after she dragged him into the middle of a fire fight inside joel osteen's lakewood church? we have more on that later in the show. but we start today with major developments in all four of donald trump's criminal cases. so many things happening simultaneously that the former president will likely end up attending just as many court hearings as campaign events by the time the week is over. he was in florida monday, of course, for day one of a multiday hearing on classified

documents. and we now know he plans to be in new york on thursday for a pretrial hearing in his hush money case. but there is also a hearing that day in georgia, involving d.a. fani willis and whether her relationship with a colleague could get her removed from trump's election interference case. and on top of all that, trump is asking the supreme court to weigh in on the question of immunity, raised in the fourth criminal case. the court this morning told a special counsel to respond by next tuesday. bottom line, the next ten days or so could bring a lot more clarity on where all of these cases stand, and whether any of them could be tried before november. barbara mcquaid is a former u.s. attorney, and msnbc legal analyst. carol lenig, national investigative reporter and msnbc contributor. and msnbc legal correspondent lisa rubin is here with me on set. barbara, we talked about this

for people to keep track of all of these cases, out of all of them, what is the one you think people should be focused on this week? >> well, all of them are important and all of them have interesting things going on this week. i think the one that is most likely to bring news this week is the new york criminal case, the hush money case. and that's because the judge is holding an omnibus hearing on thursday. at that hearing he's going to talk about pending motions, talk about jury selection, and most importantly he's going to talk about whether that march 25th date is a go. so i think for that reason that's the one to bring us news. i also think one of the questions that could come up there that he may answer is whether he's been in communication with any of the other judges in the other cases. so it may provide clarity as to what the trial schedule is going to look like, not only the new york case, but some of the other cases. >> clarity is what we have been look for. so, lisa, politico said this

we'll will mark a clarifying inflection point for the cases. do you agree with that? is this when a schedule starts to gel? >> i think it is possibly true. first of all, now we know today that the supreme court has asked for a response by jack smith's team to trump's motion with respect to the immunity appeal by next tuesday. so we're not going to have an answer on whether the supreme court is going to even take that case this week. on the other hand, i totally agree with barb that thursday is likely to be extremely clarifying in the new york case and the judge has a task ahead of him that i don't think he expected. i really do think when he set that hearing for february 15th, he thought there would be clarity on whether and if both the federal election interference case before judge chutkan and the classified records case before judge canon would move forward. unfortunately, neither one of those cases offers clarity. judge canon says on march 1st she'll hold a hearing to determine a trial date in that case and whether her may 20th

date is going to budge. judge chutkan said her march 4th date can't stick, but how much more time she would grant the parties if and when the case comes back to her will depend on the supreme court's timing. and so the judge has a choice to make. do i go forward on march 25th or not? my guess is he does because nothing else will fill that space and there could be lots of competition later in the calendar to get a trial on the schedule. >> okay. so, maybe a little bit of clarity, but not full clarity for sure. barbara, i want to ask you more about something that lisa just brought up, the supreme court case, to pause a lower court's ruling on immunity. so, as she said, the court is now asking for the special counsel's response next week. can we infer anything about the court's timing from that request, because i heard analysts both say it shows they're fast tracking this and dragging their feet. i trust you implicitly, which is it? >> yeah, a whole week seems like

a long time. my guess is they thought this was a reasonable amount of time for the special counsel to respond and for the court to look at it, in light of the fact that monday is presidents' day and a long weekend. but i think the special counsel could answer this in a day. the fact that they gave him a week, maybe suggests there is a lack of urgency here. the special counsel filed a petition earlier with its view on this. it seems that getting its ducks in a row in a couple of days would have been reasonable. so for those who are wanting to move this case along and care about the public's interest in a speedy trial, a week seems like a bit of an eternity. i suppose in court time, it is not -- >> okay, carol, as we said, two court hearings for trump this week. two campaign events, south carolina, michigan, is there any indication that his campaign figured out a strategy to balance the two or is that the wrong question to ask if the

campaign figured everything out because it is really just donald trump and his gut? >> i think it is evidently the latter and has been many a time in a campaign, right? there were times during the unmedicated portion of the pandemic which nobody had vaccines and people were worried about, you know, infecting their family, and putting immunocompromised people in danger and donald trump was telling campaign advisers we're going out on the road despite many people warning him not to do that. he felt strongly he needed to connect with his base. here, again, he, while complaining in some forums he wants to put off hearings because of various personal commitments or his campaign, he is using the courthouse steps and the courthouse foyers as campaign moments as well. he is repeatedly choosing to go places he's not required to be,

as in florida and as, again, in new york. you know. yesterday was the first time he got to meet with judge canon one on one or be in her presence. and he didn't have to be there. but he chose it where he could make a presentation and also give his claim that once again, he's being persecuted. that is the refrain over and over again, chris. >> a witch-hunt, that's what we keep hearing. let's talk about georgia. we're going to see a hearing where fani willis could be disqualified from the case she brought against donald trump. what are you watching for there? >> i think any live testimony is what would be very interesting. fani willis' office has taken the position that now that you have affidavits, now that we acknowledged the relationship and said it didn't start until after this case, there is no reason for any removal from office. but the judge pushed back on that a little bit and said, let's see, i want to know more facts. if there is live testimony under

oath, we could learn some things that are new here. nonetheless, unless fani willis lied to the court, that would be something that could be a deal breaker for them. there is some conflict, some accusation of that by the trump -- the team aligned with donald trump. but unless that's the case, it is hard to imagine how this results in a removal for fani willis because there is no conflict of interest as to the rights of donald trump or any of its co-defendants. if there is a conflict of interest here, it is with fani willis' management of her own office and so she may have ethical issues with regard to how she's spending money or failing to disclose relationships. there is nothing about that that affects the fair trial rights of these defendants. it is hard to see how this results in a recusal unless the court finds there was some dishonesty here. >> even if willis was disqualified and that's a big if here, right, what would happen? the case doesn't go away, does it? what would that mean?

>> it would be removed not only from her hands, chris, but those of her entire office. there is some case law in georgia that suggests when a district attorney is disqualified, the office is disqualified with that person because they are all seen as instruments of the office holder. >> so the stakes are huge here. >> stakes are huge and in that case, it would go to a counsel of georgia prosecutors who would then appoint someone else to continue the case. something sort of similar happened with respect to burt jones who would have been or could have been a subject of the investigation and could have been a defendant here, but for the fact that fani willis was disqualified from investigating him because she went to a fund-raiser for his democratic opponent. since she's been disqualified from continuing to investigate burt jones, that prosecuting counsel hasn't appointed anyone else yet. so, it is not just that the case would continue and live on in other hands, but that prosecuting counsel has the

ability to stay that case in a very meaningful way. >> so, carol, you called the situation in georgia a mess. we know trump has been trying to discredit every prosecutor in every case against him. so, give us your take on what we're seeing there and what we're likely to see. >> i have to emphasize something that barbara said about the standard for disqualification, right? you know, is fani willis' mismanagement, if true of how she appointed various people, hired various people, really a factor that prejudices donald trump, the answer is likely no. however, if this new claim from mike roman, an attorney associated with him, is true, and that she was not forth coming about a relationship with the person she hired, earlier than when she hired him, if there is any wiggle in which she was not forth coming about that, remember, there was an affidavit

submitted to the court by mr. wade, but really ultimately it was under her signature. she was submitting his affidavit. if there is any daylight between what actually happened, and what she said, i think that is going to be a huge problem for her and it will cause the judge in this case to really reassess whether or not it is appropriate for her to proceed. not because that's the hard course standard, but any mislead ing is an enormous problem. >> by any standard, a big week for donald trump and his trials. thank you. lisa rubin, congratulations on your new appointment as a legal correspondent for us because most people might say, we see her all the time, but this is a big deal and we're happy to have you on board, thank you. in 60 seconds, new divisions within the gop as the senate works overnight to pass $95

billion in critical foreign aid. so, what happens next? plus, a revealing look inside one ukrainian town still under siege, two years into the war. stay with us. years into the war. stay with us from pain caused by migraine, nurtec odt may help. it's the only medication that can treat a migraine when it strikes and prevent migraine attacks. treat and prevent, all in one. don't take if allergic to nurtec. allergic reactions can occur, even days after using. most common side effects were nausea, indigestion, and stomach pain. relief is possible. talk to a doctor about nurtec odt. you know, when i take the bike out like this, all my stresses just melt away. i hear that. this bad boy can fix anything. yep, tough day at work, nice cruise will sort you right out. when i'm riding, i'm not even thinking about my painful cavity. well, you shouldn't ignore that. and every time i get stressed about having to pay my bills, i just hop on the bike, man. oh, come on, man, you got to pay your bills. you don't have to worry about anything when you're protected by america's number-one motorcycle insurer.

well, you definitely do. those things aren't related, so... ah, yee! oh, that is a vibrating pain. just moments from now, president biden is expected to speak about the major showdown over foreign aid on capitol hill. senators pulled an all nighter, they passed a $95 billion package very early this morning, around 5:00 a.m., to send critical aid to ukraine, israel and taiwan. bitter republican divisions were on display with 22 gop senators voting in favor of the legislation, despite donald trump's opposition. the bill, which was stripped of border provisions, now faces an uncertain fate in the house, where republican leaders are still demanding tougher border measures. nbc's ryan nobles is on the hill for us. susan del percio is a republican

strategist and msnbc political analyst. i apologize to both of you in advance if i have to interrupt you, if the president shows up. but in the meantime, ryan, what did it take to get the bill out of the senate and what does it look like next? >> reporter: it wasn't easy and it required chuck schumer and his counterpart mitch mcconnell finding the sweet spot in this legislation that would bring enough republicans into the fold to get the bill over the finish line. remember it needed 60 votes. that needed a modicum of republican support. it also meant bringing in more than ten they would normally require because some democrats were unhappy with the legislation because the aid to israel went unconditioned. at the end of the day, it was really these republicans who were insistent that the national security component, the aid package to ukraine and israel, was vital to the u.s. national security interests and that won the day over the objections from the former president donald trump.

listen to how these republicans talked about the division within their party and why some decided to support this package. >> are our priorities as a nation the borders of ukraine, the borders of the united states? >> how can we be so focused on an invasion of another country, and do nothing about the invasion of ours? >> i know the shock jocks and online instigators riled up in the far reaches of my party. but if your position is being cheered by vladimir putin, it is time to reconsider your position. >> reporter: now, of course, the argument that some of those republican senators were making was that there was no border component, a domestic border component policy change to this package, where the democrats and republicans voted for the package would argue that was originally part of the negotiations and it was republicans that backed away once the border negotiations were part of this process. the sum total of all this is that this package has passed the

senate, it now heads to the house where its future is a lot more uncertain as the speaker mike johnson already expressed a degree of skepticism that he'll put the package on the floor. >> and in that vein, listen to chuck schumer's message to the house today. >> i will say to speaker johnson, i am confident that there is a large majority in the house who will vote for this bill. i am confident there are many republicans in his caucus, i know i've spoken to a whole bunch of them, who feel strongly we ought to pass this bill. and i will urge speaker johnson to step up to the moment and do the right thing. >> so, susan, will the earth stop spinning on its axis and figure out how to pass a bill that donald trump doesn't like? >> it is unlikely. i guess the one hope that there is for this bill passing is a

discharge petition by the democrats that would need republican support. is it possible? yes. is it probable? no. but there are some republicans in the house conference, not the loud mouths and the clowns, but serious people who want to govern, who recognize that this is our national security. we don't want to have american soldiers abroad fighting russia. we want to have the ukrainians do it. there is some economic news when it comes to the billions that we're talking about. that is to replenish what the united states already has in its armory. so, basically creating more jobs, more economic development, and producing more ammunition. >> and in addition to this, susan, house republicans will try again tonight to impeach secretary alejandro mayorkas. they think they have the votes because steve scalise is back.

if it passes, it is dead on arrival in the senate. if it fails, it is a bigger embarrassment arguably for the house. so what are they doing here? >> that's a really good question. right now it looks like they could have the votes, but we know from what happened last week is that the majority -- the speaker does not know how to count. that's why it went down. but i actually think bringing down mayorkas will show how ridiculous the house is acting. they're trying to impeach someone who is trying improve our border security. we can disagree by the means, but there was a bipartisan deal on the table. and republican members of the house, some of them said, no, we don't think that this is, you know, worth our time. so, now they're trying to impeach mayorkas, which is just ridiculous. >> susan del percio and ryan nobles, thank you. i know you'll follow all the developments for us. meantime, ukraine is anxiously

watching what happens with that foreign aid bill, of course. it includes $60 billion in military support. that country remains under siege. just over the weekend, a russian drone struck in kharkiv and killed seven people including three children. richard engle is reporting from ukraine for us. where are you and what are people there telling you about what life is like? it is hard to believe it has been almost two years since this war started. >> reporter: so, i'm in the city of mykolaiv, in southern ukraine, it is very near to the city of kherson. now, we were in kherson earlier today, about an hour's drive from here. and kherson is right on the front line. you got russian troops a few hundred yards away from the center of the city. while we were in kherson, there was incoming russian fire. mostly russian artillery from the opposite bank of the river, a river that runs through the center of kherson. and this area also gets

attacked, but not with the same kind of frequency that kherson does. occasionally there are drone strikes or missile strikes from russia into the city of mykolaiv. but there is a degree of normal life, people are out on the streets, there are shops open here, but in kherson, 70% of the people have left. there are constant russian attacks, about 30 of them in the last 24 hours alone. 90% of the businesses are closed down. so it feels very much like a ghost town. and this is just one city along the front line area, there are many parts of ukraine that are now being bombarded by russian troops, that are now almost inaccessible because of land mines laid by russian forces, and talking to people here in mykolaiv, in kherson, and in other parts of the country, you get a real sense of dread. people here are -- do not have the same sort of optimism that

they did at the -- in the early days of the war, a year and a half ago or even a year ago. the counteroffensive that began more or less a year ago has not succeeded. the front lines are entrenched, not moving. and that has been favoring russian forces because they have more men, they have more equipment, their army is bigger. in a slow war of attrition, russia is emerging, i don't want to say victorious, but emerging as a stronger power here. just in kherson, to go back to that example, and in other front line areas, the rate of russian fire is now five to one. so, five times as many artillery shells being fired from russia as ukraine is firing back. in some parts it is 10 to 1 on the front line. so people are very concerned that unless the situation changes, they get a massive influx of weapons, that they're going to be outmanned and

outgunned. and then there is the whole political dynamic. they are watching here perhaps more closely than the other country in the world what is going on in washington because they are so dependent on washington, on washington's goodwill, washington's continued ability and willingness to supply weapons, which ukrainians say has nothing to do with goodwill, it is an absolutely in the west's interest to keep the forces of oppression, forces of vladimir putin at bay and not let them loose all across europe. but people here are very nervous about what they have seen from donald trump's supporters so far, what they have heard candidate trump saying and they're worried that they have an enemy who seems to be getting -- that seems to be getting more and more powerful and ally that seems to be getting less and less reliable. >> yeah, and those major concerns are all over that region, including in the baltics. we'll have more on that in our next hour.

that ensures we use community safety cameras to catch repeat offenders and hold them accountable. vote yes on e. crime is reportedly on the decline in san francisco. we are seeing progress in san francisco. but there is more we must do to address crime and public drug use. law enforcement needs 21st century tools to be more effective in preventing and solving crimes. allow public safety cameras to discourage crime, catch criminals and increase prosecutions.

and end excessive paperwork to move officers back to the streets. let's keep san francisco moving in the right direction. yes on prop e. so we're announcing for the first time the terrifying moments inside joel osteen's

megachurch, causing parishioners to duck and cover when they heard shots coming from the hallway. we're also now learning that before that shooting, red flags were everywhere. the neighbors of the shooter, genesse moreno, say they have been afraid of her for years, that she targeted them, harassed them, threatened them, displayed firearms, and made them fear being outside their homes. >> nobody should have died. nobody should have been hurt. this should have been handled years ago. >> we cannot do anything more than what we did. we tried to stop this. we tried to help her. we tried to help us. and we tried to help the public. >> and our nbc station in houston reviewed her divorce records where, quote, her ex-husband told the judge that moreno would physically attack him and on multiple occasions chased him out of the house with knives. all of that raising questions about why she had her 7-year-old son, who remains in critical

condition, and shot by security officers who stopped moreno from entering the church. joining me now, former public safety director for dekalb county, georgia, msnbc senior law enforcement analyst cedric alexander, also with me is nbc's tom winter. tom, what is the latest on the shooting? >> they're going to be investigating a couple of different things here. they'll be focused on the motive went from you've got antisemitic writings that are found at the scene, palestine that is written on the gun and you're thinking, oh, boy, is this something tied to what happened in october 7th and what is going on in the middle east? and then you look at this individual who we heard now from neighbors, who we have court documents from the ex-husband, that makes it very clear this person had a deep and well documented, houston police talked about it yesterday, well documented history of mental illness. and there appears to be no nexus or tie to this particular church. then you've got our reporting yesterday, the fact that some chemicals were found at the house that police are trying to determine whether or not those could have been used to make a

bomb. who are we actually talking about here? and i think they're going to have to -- they have some time because this individual is deceased, not going to be a prosecution, to go through this and really examine what happened here, should have additional steps been made and what was this person really up to? >> a 7-year-old child's grandmother calling the shooting completely preventable horror in a statement on facebook. she also defended the police officers who shot her grandchild, she blames the state's lack of red flag laws and child protective services for not doing enough. what do you make of both the grandmother and the neighbor saying that this could have been prevented? >> well, i think the grandmother and the neighbors certainly do make a good case looking at the history, the psychological history of this particular person, miss moreno, who died in this event. it is clearly evident that something should have been done.

the problem becomes over time disconnects in information takes place. because we have to recall, she also was able to secure a weapon, if i understand, legally. and the question is how did that happen. so, there is some disconnects, i think, over the years that may have taken place, but there is clearly a great deal of evidence that suggests that this person was disturbed, and there should have been some better intervention. >> and, you know, we all kind of gasp a little bit at the press conference yesterday, cedric, we learned that the security officers who clearly prevented what could have been a much more deadly situation shot the 7-year-old, while they were trying to stop his mother. in this sort of situation, does an officer have any choice but to shoot even when a child is there? >> well, in this particular situation the mother put that child at risk the moment she raised that rifle, ar-15, a

velocity of over 3,000 feet per second. everybody is in an extremely threatening environment. the officers did what they are trained to do. i'm sure they attempted to maintain sights on that shooter. however, during that melee, where they are being shot at because there was a return of gunfire on both sides, somewhere near this child was hit who she was -- who that child -- it could have been police, it could have been shrapnel from rounds that was fired, a lot of that is still yet to be determined. the circumstance in which this happened, it was this mother that put that child in danger and police officers did what they were trained to do, focus on that target which was her and unfortunately that child was there on the scene as a result of that mother's failure to do what was properly necessary to protect that child.

>> it struck me in the press conference yesterday was during the show and that at least one of the officials said, asked for prayers for those two officers who had to confront this woman and the child was with her, there will be mental health support, they are getting mental health support right now. the statistics show the vast majority of police around the country never fire their gun in the line of duty, let alone when a child is there. what kind of impact does this have on the officers and is there, do you think, throughout the country, are there enough protocols to help them in these kinds of situations? >> well, certainly the mental health well-being of police officers and willingness of police officers are becoming more and more of great concern to the departments across the country. and many departments today at this very moment have in house mental health support that is in place for police officers who are involved in traumatic events such as this. in the movies they may shoot

someone and walk away and have a cup of coffee. in real life, we all have emotional distress now that we have to deal with any time we're involved in such a traumatic event. but there is a lot of officers out there, inside their agency, and in my heart and prayers, certainly do go out to everyone involved in this, particularly that child, we're going to continue to pray for that child, a release from the hospital. but our hearts go out to those public servants who stood there and stood in that fight to protect others inside that church, who were worshipping, hundreds of people were worshipping and they were the difference between life and death and our hats are off to those officers. >> and we're out of time, but isn't it every time it seems like we get a mass shooting, there are calls, we need more mental health systems, support, money, and yet again and again and again not always but often we see there were, as in this

case, the neighbors said it, the families said it, we knew something like this could happen. >> we saw where family members were involved, they went to police, it is a question of laws and what people are lawfully allowed to do. there is a very vocal contingent in this country that says these emergency detention orders, these red flag orders are not what we want, we don't want to take guns away from individuals or prohibit individuals from getting guns and so those people have a voice too. they're also at the table and politicians need to make those decisions and other big thing i talk about law enforcement people all the time, there is no real place to put somebody, like genesse moreno. is there a place to say that person needs help, they have an illness, it is like taking somebody who broke their foot and saying, hey, take a couple of aspirin and good luck. we would never do that. but with mental health, it is kind of a situation where we don't take somebody in and somebody who doesn't have the faculties to handle themselves, there are some thorny issues that come with that as well and

civil liberties and what people have a right to live. i think these are issues that really need to be studied and there are no quick fixes, that's for sure. >> when small children are involved, again, as family members have said, you -- reasonably ask how could this happen. thank you, both, very much. right now, a picturesque scene in new york city, but 46 million people are blanketed by snow in the northeast. we got the latest on conditions and the forecast coming up from lady liberty. no, not really. from lady liberty no, not really fizer's abrysvo... ...a vaccine to prevent lower respiratory disease from rsv in people 60 years and older. it's not for everyone and may not protect all who receive it. don't get abrysvo if you've had an allergic reaction to its ingredients. a weakened immune system may decrease your response. most common side effects are tiredness, headache, injection-site pain and muscle pain. ask your pharmacist or doctor about abrysvo today. when moderate to severe ulcerative colitis takes you off course. put it in check with rinvoq, a once-daily pill.

heavy dangerous snow has frozen a large swath of the country, with ground stops at major airports, cancellations across more than 200 school districts, and power outages now affecting more than 170,000 households. the scene in new york city now where we have gotten one inch an hour snow rates has tries and sidewalks blanketed in white. looks beautiful, but that beauty could be misleading because this type of thick snow can even be deadly. experts across the east coast are urging people today to avoid shoveling, if you can, and stretch and drink lots of water if you have to. they're often referred to as heart attack snow. officials warn against excess travel on icy roads, major highways across pennsylvania have been restricted, including

stretches of interstate near south hampton township. erin mclaughlin is here in new york city and i'm joined by nbc meteorologist bill karins. so, what is it like out there, erin? >> reporter: well, looks like we may be at the end of this storm. for the most part out here in central park, the snowfall has stopped, you can see the sun begin to peek through some of the cloud cover. central park has been transformed into a winter wonderland. speaking to folks out here, tourists, they're thrilled by this -- what has been a surprise storm with the weather forecast really shifting at the last minute. this is the first time in at least two years that new york city has had to deploy the snowplows, 2 inches of snow required for that. we have seen the snowplows here in the park out in force. it is not all good news. while the tourists are enjoying this, local businesses are

suffering. remember, tomorrow is valentine's day. i was speaking to a local florist here on the upper west side, and she was trying to put a positive spin on the situation, but she was worried this is going to impact the flower sales. take a listen. >> this is your super bowl. >> it is. >> and it is snowing. >> i know. not great. not the best. two days ago it was, like, in the 60s. >> and now it is snowing and it is going to potentially impact business, yeah? >> hopefully not. maybe with walk-ins a little bit. people are sort of scared away a little bit of the snow. >> reporter: now, there is a ground stop currently in place at jfk international airport. that's expected to last until 2:00 p.m., about 1500 flights across the northeast, canceled due to this storm. and we're also seeing some power outages in pennsylvania. over 136,000 households there knocked out of power.

so some more impacts along the other states along the northeast. so far, no major impacts acording to emergency officials that i was speaking to here in new york state. >> thank you for that. bill, do we expect more from this storm? obviously in new york city it seems to have gone away. what are we looking at here? >> over in new york, philly and d.c. and most of connecticut is over with too. we got nailed. west hartford, connecticut, 15 inches of snow. and also about over 100,000 power outages in pennsylvania. it wasn't just one isolated area. . what we're left with is heavy snow in areas, southern portions of cape cod, martha's vineyard, nantucket, long island. winter storm warning dropped in new york city and hartford. now down to 9 million people. as far as the radar and snow goes, you see it quickly heading out here. we'll be done with it shortly. here is the future cast that predicts what it will look like

at 3:00 p.m. a little snow twin forks. snow from the midcape to the outer arm here and wind gusts higher. by 6:00 p.m., it is over, done, the storm is gone, racing out. we're only expecting maybe another inch or two out of the cape. the winds, this hasn't been a classic nor'easter with high wind gusts. look at new york city, 7 miles per hour. gusty in atlantic city. cape cod scenario, different storm for them. it is much stronger now, it almost feels like blizzard conditions. and high tide is happening right now. the water is up very high. we got large waves crashing on shore. and that's why we have flood warnings in effect from boston out through the cape and for the jersey shore too with high tide cycle going on right now. chris, this storm has delivered in a few spots, biggest storm in a long time in isolated areas away from i-95, the big cities did not get as much as the inland areas did. >> i almost forgot what winter is like. this is sort of kind of little

negotiations for a comprehensive border bill are all be dead on capitol hill, halting billions of dollars to secure the southern border.

now, border officials are telling nbc news the increase in migration, they can't even maintain the status quo. julia, what have you got for us? >> when is senate decided to remove border provisions, it's not just that dhs is not going to get money they could have gotten. there will actually be a diminishing of some of the things they're already doing. in fact, we heard from a dhs spokeswoman who said they're going to have to start reallocating a lot of the funds, pulling from areas like officers to adjudicate the claims of people coming to the u.s. legally and applying for green cards. they'll have to pull some of those officers. they'll also have to look at other areas. whether that's i.c.e enforce. . deportation flights.

they doubled them from 2022 to 2023. now they'll have the cut back. they're also worried about other areas like cvp as they are already up against a really hard road to try to hire more men and women to patrol the u.s. border. they're also worried about investments in technology. that might sound trivial, but when they're talking about being able to monitor the border and detection of fentanyl coming through cars, they think they'll have to ramp down on some of the investments they made that were supposed to improve their technology to be able to screen for illegal migration and fentanyl. they say it's really a net loss for the department. right now, they're looking at a continuing resolution that could pass in the next few weeks probably around early to mid march but if they keep at those funding levels, dhs is going to have to make some really serious decisions about how they reprogram funding and it looks like there's some places where

really, they're just overtapped. they've pulled from places like fema and the coast guard. those places might not have a lot left to give. we think as the numbers of migrants come up in the spring, dhs could be in a real bind and republicans have refused to fund this agency because they say they want biden to do something different at the border, but the more they pull back on funds, the more the chaos ensues. >> thank you for that. let me bring in david, who's in san diego. that's one of the border points that's seeing significant increases in migrant crossings. what are you seeing there, david? >> reporter: just to quickly set the scene. here in san diego, there's been a substantial rise in the number of crossings. a couple hundred feet behind this fence, there's another one that looks exactly like it and that area they've been using as a detention site for the large

numbers of migrants who have been arriving. there was a group here this morning for several hours before they went to the processed. the numbers have been high for several months to the point where you have volunteer groups who have set up these semipermanent tent installations where you can see in there they have supplies like food, hot drinks, water, information. packets of legal advice they give migrants in terms of what to expect from the process. now, i spoke to several of the migrants here this morning from many countries. colombia, ecuador, some as far away as west africa. one of the questions i was asking them is what have you heard about u.s. border politics and policy and how has it affected your decisions? i had an interesting con ver conversation with a group of jamaican migrants who heard on

tiktok there was going to be a shutdown at the border. you know, in some cases, it actually motivated some of these migrants to cross the border sooner than they would have otherwise. it pushed them to take the risk and cross now before this supposed shutdown that you and i both know never happened. that just shows you how what happens in d.c. works its way down to here on the ground on the border in ways that are unpredictable and difficult to pin down. >> and counterproductive most likely. thank you for your terrific reporting. still ahead, the surprising new data on consumer prices and the big reaction on wall street. that's coming up at the top of our next hour. treet. that's coming up at the top of our next hour. with nurtec odt, i can treat a migraine when it strikes and prevent migraine attacks, all in one. don't take if allergic to nurtec. allergic reactions can occur, even days after using. most common side effects were nausea, indigestion, and stomach pain. ask about nurtec odt.
