days. major league baseball happeneding out the mvp awards last night. no surprise. aaron judge is the american league mvp. he got 28 of 32 votes. the the cardinals paul gold schmidt taking home the national league award. he's the first to win his mvp after turning 35 years old. judge's a.l. record 62nd home run ball is heading to auction. he turned down $3 million for the ball and decided to send the ball to auction because, quote, it seems fair. in the sense it gives anyone who is interested and has the means the opportunity to own it. >> huh. i wonder -- >> yeah. >> i would have goon with the 3 million. a bird in the hand. do you think he can get more than 3 million for that? >> you know, i think he will.

i think he'll get somewhere between 3 and 4. hard times, you know, right now for a lot of people, christine. when it comes to the one of a kind memorabilia, you never know what it's going to go for. >> have a great weekend, andy. >> you, too. >> thank you. have a great week end. i'm christine romans. "cnn this morning" starts right now. wow, look at that in the wall, did you see that? good morning, i'm going to explain to you, everybody. good morning. it may not be happy friday for people in buffalo. >> going to be a cold friday. >> probably a snowy one. happening right now, a massive lake effect snowstorm is bearing down. it could bury western new york. millions of people are under snow alerts.

we're on the ground for you in buffalo. >> they made good on elon's ultimatum and quit. we'll tell you -- we'll ask where twitter goes from here. also overnight, north korea launching another missile. how close it landed to japan and why it sent vice president kamala harris and her aides scrambling. it is friday but a big news day. first to the monster snowstorm bearing down on western new york right now. this morning a state of new york is in effect in 11 up state counties, buffalo in particular could be paralyzed by the massive storm and buried by snowfall. normally snow in buffalo is not usually a headline but the mayor is telling residents, this time it is different. >> but i want to be very clear, this is not your normal snowfall in the city of buffalo or in the region. this is a snowstorm with

potentially deadly consequences if people do not do the right thing. >> so let me tell you where we stand at this hour with this storm. 6 million people will be impacted by the historic snowfall here. buffalo may see a month's worth of snow in a matter of hours. up to 5 feet in and around that city. the intense narrow snow bands would produce near zero visibility. meaning it would make it nearly impossible to travel. driving has already been banned to keep people off the roads. airlines cancelled flights into and out of buffalo and sunday's nfl game between the browns and bills have been moved to de detroit. the heavy lake effect snow forecast is going to continue throughout this weekend. i'm going to get to polo sandoval, in the thick of it now, live for us in buffalo. where do we stand right now? it is coming down. >> so, don, that snow band is south of here. that's the only reason you're

able to see, only about 15 feet separating the camera and i, last night the black out conditions basically led to zero visibility. right now a slight break. meteorologists expecting the worst to be ahead in the coming hours or so. if anyone knows how to do it, it's buffalo. basically they cleared this tram route. so we've seen a tram make its way up and down the clearing right here for those who have to go to work this morning to have a way to get to work. but officials here in buffalo and throughout western new york have been encouraging people to stay home. this should be a snow day for people able to make it a snow day. but have you ever heard thunder snow? that's what woke me out of bed. that's what meteorologists are warning some of the residents here. snow in buffalo typically not a headline but according to the governor katy hochul and the experts she's hearing from this is going to be a treacherous storm we are expected to see

many more feet in the coming hours in buffalo. >> you sound so clear because the snow is acting like a natural sound barrier because the only thing we can hear is your voice. a ton of snow on the ground and a ton more expected. be safe. the u.s. and allies are condemning north korea's latest launch of an intercontinental ballistic missile. disrupting an overseas trip by vice president kamala harris, causing her to call an emergency meeting on the sidelines of an economic summit in thailand. >> this conduct by north korea most recently is a brazen violation of multiple u.n. security resolutions. it destabilizes security in the region and unnecessarily raises tensions. we strongly condemn these actions and we again call for north korea to stop further unlawful, destabilizing acts.

according to south korea's military the missile flew some 620 miles splashing down in the sea west of japan. i want to bring in oren libberman. what's the united states saying about this missile launch? >> reporter: not the first from north korea, there was a short range one day earlier but certainly intercontinental ballistic missile launch is a much more prorock tour and escalatory action. it reached an altitude of nearly 4,000 miles and hitting mach 22 according to south korea. you see the progress that north korea is making in its own ballistic missile program. vice president kamala harris in the region convened an emergency meeting with allies to respond. we saw part of that coming from south korea, whose defense minister was at the pentagon not

long ago, launching fighter jets to carry out a low level raid, they did that with the u.s. you see the effort they were talking about here to have a quick response and a response that shows the u.s., south korea, japan and allies in the region are ready when north korea carries out these provocation actions. >> there's been silence between the obama admbiden administrati pyongyang. thank you. we are witnessing what could be an epic melt down in real time. twitter employees rejected elon musk's quote hard core ulmtimatm and there's a mass exodus going on this morning. as a result twitter closed all the offices, suspended badges,

leaving the company's future in uncertainty. this is the headquarters last night. someone took it upon themselves to troll the mogul with a number of messages. joining us now sarah fisher axios media reporter. you can sort of laugh at the jokes of throwing that up on the building. but the reality is, these are thousands of people's livelihoods, 3,700 have been let go, what happens to the rest. and a medium that's imperfect but that many people rely on for important news. >> and outside of the united states especially where freedom of the press and speech isn't a given. people around the world have been relying on twitter for the past decade plus to call out regimes or times they're trying to fight for democracy, that could be over if twitter shuts down. as of this morning what you're hearing from sources inside twitter is that the people responsible for keeping this app alive.

developers making sure you can sign into the app, address problems, they're gone. >> so what happens now? i'm sure people are checking their twitter to see if it's even up and running. >> the most concerning part if you log out of twitter sometimes it might be hard to get back in to twitter because of two factor authentication, the teams running that a lot of them are no longer there. elon musk said he's not worried. he said the best people there remain. sources inside twitter tell me, we should be worried. the critical response teams that manage the back end and front end code have been gutted. the trust and safety teams, people monitoring disinformation, they're gutted. even design teams working on elon musk's projects, most of them resigned. >> people can't get back in because of the two factor authentication is not working? >> for some people is not working. that's one of the biggest issues right now. if you have a critical problem, a friend of mine is a journalist

and her account has been hacked, no way to address the problems. >> no one is there. >> there's no safety response team. >> there's no communication team for journalists to ask questions. >> if you were on twitter last night like i was, people were tweeting their good-byes. is that realistic? are people getting ahead of themselves? what's your sense? >> these are inside engineers who believe that. i think it's realistic. one of the challenges, people who did click yes on elon musk's form saying i'm going to commit to the hard core twitter, they're not committing for long. sources tell me i hit yes, because we're headed into the holidays and i need health insurance and a job. there's no guarantee about the severance payments. people aren't getting emails from any hr department to explain what's going on. >> he sent the email say yes or no committed to hard core work,

and then closed the offices. >> there was no no. it was just a yes. you sign yes or don't do it. the reason he closed the offices we are hearing is because there's a sense of paranoia right now. he doesn't want twitter employees remaining against him to sabotage him? >> what would they do? shut the site down. >> shut the site down, mess with the code, the office. but that's the worst situation you can be in. of the 2,900 employees left going into this deadline yesterday, we heard that hundreds have decided they're leaving the company. many tweeted they're leaving the company with the emoji salute sign which is the sign i'm leaving twitter after many years. so it looks like chaos from here. >> i think about the fact, guys, this was -- when you're a public company you have more checks, right? you have a board of advisers and the board can oust an ineffective leader. that's gone. >> all that is gone, the board

is gutted, no accountability. and the people inside twitter are elon's close confidants. >> his friends. >> and they're great and smart people, a lot of former twitter people in the beginning who came in to do some of this work. i think the curious thing is who sticks with elon as they watch the ship move in this direction. do you want your reputation take on what looks like a mass destruction of the app? >> is this money, too much money, too many yems men? >> i think there's this mentality in silicone valley if you push fast, move fast and break things you're going to be more effective. but there is a tipping point and i think we have crossed that line at twitter. >> i think youfly too close to sun and what the airbnb ceo told us, it's like a nightclub and

the lights just came on. >> i remember that part. thank you, sarah. after a historic run as house speaker, nancy pelosi is stepping down and making way for a newer, younger generation of democratic leaders. >> one of the longest serving democratic leaders in the house received a standing ovation yesterday after she made her announcement setting off a rapid shift in the top ranks of democratic leadership. new york congressman, hakeem jeffries is the front runner to replace her. this decision was somewhat expected after she said in 2020 she wouldn't seek re-election for a leadership position. let's bring in jessica dean, who is live on capitol hill. jessica, i know yesterday people were looking at this, waiting to see what she was going to announce and it seemed to be a packed chamber in there as pelosi made this announcement. >> it certainly was. i'm right outside in the chamber where this position is right

here. this halls were packed yesterday. there was a sense truly of history being made. a real energy in this room and certainly on the house floor as people waited to see what house speaker nancy pelosi would say. she was certainly tipping her hat to the hitsry of it all in that speech as well. talking about how much changed since she first came to congress in 1987, of course wearing white, the color of suffragets. we saw various democrats wiping tears from their eyes. it was a very emotional moment. and then, of course, once that happens all eyes turn to the future and we saw a number of the top leaders the one, two, and three, all likely steny hoyer definitely not running for leadership. he's her number two. and then jim clyburn likely not to run as well. that makes way for a whole new next generation of leadership.

what was interesting, though, is publically, all of those starting with hakeem jeffries who i mentioned is likely to be the next speaker, publically were making it about speaker pelosi, privately a lot of machinations happening behind the scenes as democrats get ready for a next generation of leadership. a sea change here. >> i'm reminded of what she said in that speech announcing she would not remain in leadership. she said when i first came, there were 12 women now there are over 90 and we want more. what else can you tell us about the reaction on the hill? >> reporter: it was interesting to see, because again, poppy, she's been here for so long, since 1987, she's been in leadership for so long, this is the only leader that most house democrats know. so a lot of people looking to her to set the tone. and, of course, a lot has changed to her point in terms of women, people of color. we also had a lot of bipartisan support coming out.

senate minority leader, mitch mcconnell, putting out a statement, you guys, saying while they've disagreed frequently and forcefully over the years he's seen the depth and intensity of her commitment to public service. >> thank you very much. as jessica was noting, nancy pelosi spent two decades as one of the most dominant figures in her party. she didn't get started in congress until 47. she had been surrounded by politics her whole life. she met jfk in 1961 with her dad who was the mayor of baltimore. first elected to the house in 1987 after she beat a crowded field of candidates in a special election. >> never would i have thought that some day i would go from homemaker to house speaker. when i came to the congress in 1987, there were 12 democratic women. now there are over 90. and we want more.

>> while on capitol hill, pelosi was an outspoken critic of china's human rights abuses, visited beijing in 1991 where she stood alongside a banner that read quote to those who died for democracy in china. she climbed the ranks of democratic leadership in 2002 becoming the first and only speaker in 2007. after three years when she became speaker she was crucial in president obama's success in passing the affordable care act. >> we have to pass the bill so that you can find out what is in it. away from the fog of the controversy. >> pelosi had been criticized for those comments. then years later when former president trump was elected in 2016, democrats went into the minority. under pelosi's leadership, the democratic party gained 40 seats

in the 2018 midterms. that's when she retook the role of speaker in 2019 facing off against trump many times but one that stood out in the oval office. >> mr. president, please don't characterize the strength i bring to this meeting as the leader of the house democrats. >> the tension between those two only escalated from there. during trump's 2020 state of the union address she did this, ripping up trump's speech after he finished it. >> article i is adopted. >> pelosi and the democrats impeached trump for the first time in december 2019 over allegations he threatened to who would u.s. security assistance to ukraine unless the country investigated his political rivals. during the january 6th capitol attack she was one of the main targets of the rioters. she blamed trump even before the attack began for what happened.

>> i just want him to come, i'd punch him out. waiting for this. trespassing on the capitol grounds. i'm going to punch him out, go to jail and i'm going to be happy. >> of course it got much worse. that day resulting in trump's second impeachment while he was in office. it was just weeks ago when her husband was attacked by a man who broke into their san francisco home looking for pelosi. >> for me this is really the hard part because paul was not the target and he's the one who's paying the price. >> and now, after more than three decades in congress, she is passing the torch when it comes to leadership. >> for me the hour's come for a new generation to lead the democratic caucus that i so deeply respect. >> nancy pelosi there. so new this morning, the former president barack obama issuing a stark post midterm warning over

democracy while congratulating democrats on defeating a handful of election denying candidates. what do we hear from the former president, athena? >> thank you. >> reporter: former president barack obama delivering a stark warning. >> democratic ideas are currently under assault around the world. >> reporter: the 44th president citing russia's brutal war on ukraine and backsliding in well established democracies as threats to global stability. >> we see it in the escalating polarization and disinformation that's so evident in recent elections, whether in brazil, the philippines, italy, sweden, right here in the united states. >> reporter: obama stressing the need to detoxify political

discourse, and develop a more sustainable and inclusive system of capitalism. >> we need to create space while we uphold the principles of equality for all people. >> reporter: that coming as part of the obama foundation's forum in new york. the president also joining the daily show where he applauded the midterm defeat of a string of election deniers. they got thumped. they got beat. all this. >> reporter: all this a day after his predecessor held an event -- >> it's the long term consequences of freedom. >> reporter: forceful case for defending and promoting democracy as the best way to ensure peace, prosperity, and freedom. and arguing the u.s. must remain engaged. >> an isolated america makes the

world more dangerous. >> reporter: highlighting the fight for human rights in iran and national sovereignty in ukraine. saying u.s. support for the former soviet republic is essential. >> an unstable europe, a europe in which a tyrant is on the march is going to affect our national security. it's less likely the european nations will want to support ukraine if the u.s. does not. >> we've seen past presidents do it but a republican and a democrat, it's interesting. >> you've seen past presidents come together for things like a hurricane, while presidents bush and obama weren't on the same stage and the teams did not coordinate these events it was a coincidence. they were aligned in their messages. it's a sign of the growing concern across the political spectrum about the health of the world's democracies. >> tathena jones, thank you.

that mohammed bin salman approved the operation to kill him. he was a journalist for "the washington post." and in july president biden stunned the world when he went to saudi and there you see it, fist bumped the crown prince following a promise to make the kingdom a pariah on the world stage. remember this? >> i will make it clear we are not going to sell more weapons to them. we are going to, in fact, make them pay the price and mike them the pariah they are. >> alex, i got to tell you waking up to this headline and reading through this. i was stunned. can you explain to our viewers why this was the decision of the administration? >> reporter: the administration said this is long standing practice, international law that foreign heads of government are granted immunity from prosecution. normally the crown prince is not

a head of government, he is the son of the king. but a couple weeks ago the king gave his son the title of prime minister. now experts and activists i have spoken with said that was a ploy in order to get this immunity and now it has worked. he is technically the head of the saudi government and that's what the justice department pointed to in the filing late last night, in this case brought by jamal khashoggi's fiancee. this is what a state department spokesperson told me. this suggestion of immunity does not reflect an assessment on the merits of the case, speaks to nothing on broader policy or state of relations, this was a legal determination. there is an unbroken practice of the united states recognizing immunity for heads of government while they are in office. it's not because they believe he's innocent it's because of this unbroken practice. i did hear from jamal khashoggi's overnight calling it a devastating day, saying biden

betrayed his word, jamal, and history will not forget. >> you said it's an unbroken practice. was this a choice -- did the administration have a choice? >> you're right, don, this was a choice. it was not required. the filing was made at the invitation at the d.c. district court. the justice department had until yesterday, and they waited until the very last minute to make this filing. again, state department saying this is because of international law, not because of the merits of the case. you'll hear a lot of anger today already i heard immediately from a senior congressional aide, a democrat, saying this is another disappointing chapter in a series of failures. guys. >> alex, thank you. wnba start brittney griner has been moved to a women's penal colony in russia. one former inmate said you were forced to do things there no normal person should have to do.

♪ ♪ ♪ voltaren. the joy of movement. ♪

♪ welcome back. with a republican led state house in pennsylvania have week voted to impeach the democrat

attorney in philadelphia. kraz nor saying history will judge this effort to erase philly's votes. let's bring in michael smerconish. thanks very taking the time. when i think about what's going on here in philadelphia, i think about what robert jackson, former u.s. attorney general said back in the 40s about prosecutors. he said the prosecutor has more control over life, liberty and reputation than any person in america, and that power is often unchecked. but this is what larry crasner ran on, this is what voters voted him in for. >> i would never vote for him. i think he's soft on crime and bears some responsibility, not

all responsibility, some responsibility for the revolving door of perps let out and committing more crimes. having said that, i don't see the case for impeachment. because to your point, this is the way he ran for office. he received nearly 70% of the vote. he was then re-elected again with close to 70% of the vote. there's no corruption evident and there's this very vague standard in pennsylvania in the state constitution. the question being, did he misbehave? what does that mean? i read the case that republican state house members have assembled against him. i find merit in it. but i think misbehaving and impeachment is for corruption. so i have to say, it does seem like the overturning of the will of the people. you want to get rid of larry krazner, vote him out.

>> there's little room for nuance in our politics today, michael smerconish. you don't support him but you don't see they have a case. there's a similar narrative as you know playing out in new york city -- >> and san francisco. >> right. right on. so political, is this purely political? >> well, i think it's totally political. you're making reference to the fact that burdine was recalled, who was too progressive for san francisco. george gascon in los angeles narrowly was able to turn back what could have been an impeachment process there because of the way petitions were filed. it's part of a nationwide trend. you know george soros supported a number of progressive district attorneys. and i'm at odds with the approach. there's this glowing like eight-hour long pbs special about larry krazner, i watched the whole thing, it was intended
