because she is off and we have a lot to catch up. we'll start with the five things cnn wants you know about this morning. six years of former president trump's taxes are set to be released. the democratic house ways and means committee says it will release trump's tax returns in the last couple of days, which ends a nearly four-year legal battle democrats waged against the president after they took control of the house in 2019. >> also, the taliban has suspended all education for women. women can no longer work in most places and they are ordered to cover their faces when in public. >> and musk says he will step down as soon as he find someone foolish enough to take the job. >> and much of the country

preparing for a brutal arctic blast. winter alerts for snow and ice are in effect in more than 25 states covering more than 90 million of us. the south could see a life threatening cold but midwest could see blizzard conditions and the heaviest snow is expected on thursday into friday, which could affect what is expected to be two of the busiest travel days of the year. >> and a 6.4 magnitude earthquake hit the northern part of california. officials are checking to make sure all pipes and houses are structurally sound. >> president zelenskyy is set to meet with president biden in just a matter of hours. earlier he was seen arriving in poland before getting on a plane

for washington. u.s. officials say an american military aircraft was involved in bringing him to the u.s. it is his first trip outside of ukraine since russia first invaded months ago. lauren fox is on capitol hill and m.j. joins us. what was involved in getting president zelenskyy to the united states? >> reporter: that's right. keep in mind this was a visit that was kept tightly under wraps until the very last minute. what we learned from a senior administration official overnight is that the planning has been under way for about the last ten days or so, that a potential visit was first raised on a phone call between president biden and president zelenskyy on december 11th. once president zelenskyy accepted the invitation, then the work really started to make sure that certain security parameters were met. you can imagine how high the security risks are given that he is of course a wartime

president. and my colleague and i can now report this morning that a u.s. military aircraft was involved in bringing president zelenskyy to washington and that the u.s. was very closely involved just in general in bringing him here and will be involved in getting him out of the u.s. and he is not going to be staying long, kaitlan. he will be here at the white house in the afternoon and then goes to capitol hill to address members of congress and right after we're told he is going to be leaving the country. i should mention this new ukraine aid package the president is going to be unveiling that amounts to some $1.8 billion. this includes that important patriot surface-to-air missile system, it is one of the most s sophisticated long-range missiles. setting up the day for a very, very important day here at the white house.

>> and speaker of the house pelosi had to call members back today. >> the speaker of the house looked forward to this moment. she alerted members yesterday that this was coming but one thing to keep in mind is lawmakers are not really up here on capitol hill. they'll have to vote on the that m must-pass vote. she said "the fight for ukraine is the fight for democracy itself. we look forward to hearing your inspiring message of unity, resilience and determination." we should know this comes at a critical moment in the house of representatives because they are slated to vote on that huge spending package, which includes

nearly $45 billion in assistance for ukraine. of course a lot of republicans who are going to be in the chamber are being asked to vote against that by their leadership, so it just shows you is anything that zelenskyy says tonight going the change the minds of some of those republicans in the audience about that vote? >> lauren fox, m.j. lee, thank you both. >> zelenskyy will final ly get the patriot missile package that he wanted. >> reporter: good morning, don. patriot missiles are a long-range system. they will sit almost on tom of the dome, the medium range systems have proven very effective in taking out some of

the threats. but the patriots are a much longer range system that will enhance and will disrupt the constant attacks. but it comes with complications. these are complex systems that will take ukraine some time to learn how to operate, sustain and maintain them. it takes about 20 weeks to learn how a team of dozens operates a patriot missile systems. this is one more system, a crucial system they'll have to learn as quickly as possible. >> warren lieberman joining us from the pentagon this morning. thank you, warren. >> and joining us is john kirby. good morning, john. thanks for joining us. tell me about why it's important

for president zelenskyy to visit washington, visit the white house now. >> there's a lot going on in the war in ukraine obviously. and we are in a new phase, if you will. the winter is coming, air defense capabilities are now the most important capability that ukraine needs and must have to help defend itself. so the president believed as we approach winter, as we enter clearly and have been in sort of a new phase in this war, mr. putin's aggression, that he believed this was a good time for the two leaders to sit down and talk face to face and talk about now just what the u.s. is doing now but how we work towards what president zelenskyy has called a just peace. >> you do think the two leaders will be discussing what the end of this could look like. >> i have no doubt they'll talk about president zelenskyy's

notion of a just peace and what that looks like, what are the components of that and how do we help zelenskyy to get to that. putin is interested in killing more ukrainian citizens and knocking out the lights and the heat. we have to stay focused on the security assistance ukraine will need going forward. >> what kind of risk asse assessment did the u.s. do -- >> i'm not going to talk about that but we were working in lock step with him. and we have to make sure he can make that trip safely coming to the united states and going back and we'll continue to support his travel requirements as best we can. >> does this mean president

biden will be rushing and visiting to ukraine any time soon? >> reporter: i don't have any travel to report. we're focusing on this visit by zelenskyy and reaffirming his defense. >> when did you expect patriot missiles will be in ukraine and operational? >> i don't want to get ahead of the president's comments. the payment is about air defense, it is a defensive system. it is fairly sophisticated and advanced. it takes a long time for our troops to get trained on how to operate them. we'll have to factor all that in going forward. >> but in order to send those to ukraine, have you received assurances from ukrainians that they won't use them for targets inside of russia? >> again, i'm not going to get

ahead of decisions and announcements that the president is going to talk about later today. writ large everything that we have sent to ukraine has really been designed to help them defend themselves, defensive systems so they can eat ither g back their territory or gain territory they have liberated from russia. where, whether they use the systems, that's up for them to decide. how they use these systems, that's really up to them. >> since we are in what you are saying a if you phase of this war, do you expect that president zelenskyy will say to president biden today that he needs more than just the patriot missile defense systems? > . >> reporter: i'll let president zelenskyy talk to himself. certainly the united states stands ready to have discussions with the ukrainians going

forward about capabilities they'll require going forward. the capabilities that we've been providing have evolved over time. we used to talk about the javelin anti-tank system and now we're talking about join air defense systems. the war has changed. air defenses of a prime importance right now. we'll see where this goes going forward. the president has said we're going to support ukraine for as long as it takes and he meant every word of that. >> will he announce any new sanctions today? >> i'm not going to get ahead of the praesz discussions with zelenskyy ski. there will be some moun p announcements but i'll let him do that. >> john kirky, thank you for joining us. >> this is suppose to be a surprise and obviously the media got ahold of it last night because of security concerns and -- >> you can't keep a secret in washington. i called a law maker last night

after they saw this was going to happen and they say when you tell lawmakers and they say there's a special session on democracy, i think everybody drew the conclusion. >> what is going on, what's happening. this morning a cnn exclusive. u.s. capitol police chief tom manger is speaking out for the first time since paul pelosi was attacked. he said they neff reassessed security since nancy pelosi returned. what does the manager say capitol police will do differently going forward? >> i think it's fair to say a lot, right? the chief, who came on to the job last year, said lessons have been learned since the paul pelosi attack in later october, including doing more frequent assessments on the home, unlike what was done for speaker pelosi in the four yiears before the

attack. >> i'm told by house aides for speaker pelosi, there hadn't been a security assessment at her residence in san francisco since 2018. is that true? >> yes. as each person assumes a leadership position, it's important for us to do another assessment to make sure that we've got the latest information and we've, you know, if we've got additional recommendations, if we've got additional technology that we can employ to keep a member safer, we need to make sure that that gets done. >> so after she became speaker, was there a security assessment done? >> the last one that was done that i'm aware of was in '18. we since have done another one -- >> reporter: since the attack in. >> yes. i think 2018 was the last one that was done. >> reporter: so will you now as a lesson learn do more frequent

assessments of leadership? >> yes. if someone assumes a leadership position, we'll make sure that we do an updated assessment for them and if, you know, one of the things that we've tried to to do to reach out to all the members is make sure they're aware that these assessments are available to them. some or a thlot of members take advantage of it, some don't. we're trying to remind everybody, if you want a security assessment of your home, we will come out and do it. >> what do you say to those who have come out his the paul pelosi attack who have questioned the competence and vigilance of capitol police? what to you say to them? >> i want to try to manage

expectations. when i spoke earlier about our security posture on the legislative branch is different than what's done in the executive and judicial branch for the supreme court justices and judges around the country. and so i think that we've got to make sure that they understand what our capabilities are, what we're staffed-to-do and if their expectations are different than what we can meet, then we've got to find a way to meet their expectations. this is one of the reasons that i am trying to seek additional resources in the budget so this we can in fact meet their expectations about how we protect the members, house of representatives we protect their staff, their families, their homes, that sort of things. >> and on that note, the senate spending bill includes $132 million for capitol police for a total of $735 million. chafe manger said there has

never been a more dangerous time to be an elected official in america. the threats against them are moe are serious, they are increasing. speaker pelosi alone had more than 6% of the threats overseen by capitol police pu chief manger says his agency is doing everything to protect the lawmakers and what he calls a no-fail mission. back to you. >> that's concerns are very clear and evident. pamela brown, thanks very much for that interview. >> no suspect, no motive more than a month after those four i idaho students were murdered and now people are wondering if law enforcement is capable of solving this. >> and a long line of migrants have been waiting to get into the u.s. and a big change that is giving some renewed hope. we'll explain it to you coming

this this morning homeland security confirming its agents have moved more than 9,000 migrants from el paso, texas in the last week. meantime, the biden administration is asking the supreme court to keep title 42 in place until tuesday. right now that policy is on a temporary hold. let's get to the border now. david culver is in mexico. good morning to you. what are you hearing from migrants there? look at the line behind you, by the way. >> you see that, don. a big change in just the past few hours, too. a lot of these migrants were where we were about 24 hours ago where we showed the barricade situation going into place at that very popular crossing in

texas. about a mile from where we are now, that is a place where migrants are no longer going. it seems there is differing, if not conflicting decisions being made from the different u.s. law law enforcement agencies. let me show you video that was captured by one of our colleagues here. those were the migrants coming toward the direction where we are now. border control had redirected them to another gate to start being processed nap is where we are. we'll show you this long line where you see about a dozen camp fires being burned. they have crossed the rio grande. even if they're going to enter

on this side here, little by little, in groups of five or at the people being allowed in for a period of time, they're allowed to start the asylum process but it does not guarantee they are going to be allowed to stay in the u.s. for a period of time. >> it appear yesterday there were more members of the national guard than migrants out there. what happened? >> it is very interesting. you see this tension almost between the two hadn't agencies perhaps at a 'tis tans. you are and engaging and interacting with the migrants whereas the texas national guard and border patrol is trying to facilitate some of this process to keep the buildup on what is

still the u.s. side of the borlder and to have people camping out in these temperatures and conditions, it perhaps is that the border patrol is redirecting some of those migrants to a space where you don't have texas national guard and state troopers and we're hearing they may not even have jurisdiction to this point. so this is where the border patrol is saying we're going to take this under our hands right now and start the processing at this hour. >> they're playing this all by ear, right, because this happened suddenly. if it isn't lifted in the next week or so? what happens? >> reporter: and that's been the big focus. they all thought it was going to be today. a lot of these migrants have traveled for several months m, thinking the 21st in mind that it will be lifted. if it's not lifted in the next few days, they're hoping it will

be progress and they will be able to enare not knowing if they'll be able to get through with title 42 still in effect. >> david culver on the border for us. thank you very much on the mexico side. we'll be joined by el paso's mayor coming up. >> and one of the families in the university of i'd owe murders is questioning whether or not the loam police department in the small town of moscow should be leading this investigation. it has been more than five weeks since five students were stabbed to death in their home. what are we hearing from this family and their attorney about what they want to see happen differently? >> reporter: caitlin, good morning. because it's been more than five weeks without a resolution, theattorney representing it is

fair to ask whether or not they should be doing this investigation he says on the day to day the moscow police is great but is questioning whether they have the had not recorded a murder since 2015, but despite all of that, the chief of police in mao could you responding,cying that he is in charge that is correct who saying that combined the team has more than 90 years of experience and also pointed to the help that they're getting from the state police and from the fbi. in fact, more fbi and look behind the scenes be, it is possible the fbi and state police are leading the strategy here. experts say this is not a cold

case despite the time that has passed. >> thank you so much. >> elon musk says he going to resign as twitter's chief executive. but not right away. oliver we're going to break down "the big money deal" next. er? create something new? our r dell technologies advisors can provide you with the tools and expertrtise you need to bring out the innovator in you. peaceful state. full plate. wait, are you my blind date? dancing crew. trip for two. nail the final interview. buy or lease? masterpie. inside joke. artichoke. game witdoug. brand new mug. come here, kid. gimme a hug. have you gotten your updated covid-19 booster?

morning." we are just learning that president zelenskyy will be addressing congress today. it's part of his whirl wind visit to washington today. the supreme court says it does want to end title 42 border tree str st restrictions but not just yet. plus, it is going to get really, really cold this week. could it be the coldest christmas in history? it could be. >> we'll start with elon musk. the twitter ceo does say he'll be leaving his post as ceo but only after he finds someone to take his place. it all started with the twitter poll over the weekend where more than 50% who voted said he should resign as head of the company. he tweeted, i will resign as ceo as soon as i find someone

foolish enough to take the job. musk has faced criticism for a number of the decisions he's made since the takeover. some of those include abruptly suspending the accounts of those who cover him, laying off the marriage of his staff and releasing internal communications. so for perspective on all of this, let's bring in our senior media reporter oliver darcy. wow. lots going on. do you think he has someone in mind to take over? >> i'm not sure. it is impossible to get into his head. i don't think this is super surprising given that he said last month he is going to want to step down and appoint someone else to run twitter. he's looking be probably at those tesla shares and they have slid about 30% since he took over twitter. that's far worse than other car companies have performed. i think tesla investors want him

to focus on that company and he knows his wealth is tied to tesla shares. if this continues, it's not going to be good. and it's unclear how long will it take to find a new head of twitter he said there's no one really in line. >> he's been running it and look at all of the back and forth. donna is asking this question about are there other sites people are going to. given just tweeting these days you have a risk if you're a reporter of getting banned and these policy changes that happened on a whim. >> he banned the other day other people going to other sites. i think he was trying to lock the exit doors as others try to -- i think the bottom line is

there is no twitter replacement at the moment. who's to say whether other sites could get more funding and improve user experience. >> where is everybody else going to go. ba monte jones is here. >> the question i have for everybody, stay for what? journalists what are we getting positive as the twitter experience, what it has evolved into over the last five, six year. like we have to go find another hell hole? no, no. >> have i told you lately that i love you? >> the oo the only one who likes twitter at this table. >> i think there is an important place for twitter in the world but it has become a cesspool.

>> we don't need all this access to each other and our thoughts. and they end up being at best benign and at worst damaging. >> and we're here to talk about robert sarner has agreed to sell his teams for $4 billion according to multiple reports. that's a new record for an nba franchise. he began seeking buyers for the phoenix suns and phoenix mercury after he was suspended for years and who is tifl work place behavior. a group is set to purchase a controlling stake between the two teams. it should part of the school's national championship team in 2000 and bamanti, the question

is selling the team for a record $4 billion, is that really much of a punishment? >> well, it's less of a punishment than the trade you have to make to get it out of the league. the team is his. you can't just confiscate somebody's stuff. this is the same thing that happened with donald starling. if it wasn't a punishment, the dude would have sold the team already. he could have got the $4 billion at a certain point but he didn't do that. making people do things, it just so happens he going to get $4 billion on the back end of it. you're in the going to put a lot of consequences on rich people that they actually feel momentarily. >> when you said donald sterling, 20, 18 years ago? ? they found he repeatedly used the "n" word and engaged in

increditable comments. >> well, baxter is has been at the forefront of reporting this week. after the word had gotten out that they because if we're saying this is a larger cultural issue, it doesn't just go away because the owner goes away. it was put in place in the agreement that in order for them to be removed, it would have to be something in writing from safrer to say it was okay for them, presumably because those guys knows where the body is a lot of people that apparently were still responsible for the sorts of behaviors still going on with this team. that's why it's a t-shirt. does that allow the kid to

celine slate in. the french federation system is facing criticism. it's not new but seeing them condemn it and ask others to condemn it is important for people to do that. it is on this world stage kind of point. >> well, i have another question when this happens and this gets in line with the hell hole that we were talking about. how many of these people who are sending these things are actually people? right? like when you wade through and start figuring out who are the bots and who are the trolls. how many are actually people? ets so easy to amplify the idea of the and i mouth a and then we come around and they say all

it's like where if i look at everybody, and the ones with fake pictures, it's four people. it's been so manipulated to the point where i can't tell people are people. they have big broad problem, it's all the people come down like, hey, we con denl racism. it's racism that's making those people risist. >> armani jones, appreciate the early part. >> early we do. >> this. >> it kicks off on hbo max on january 20th. >> the department of homeland security has moved more than 9,000 migrants out of el pass

so the biden administration has told the supreme court that

they should let title 42 end. the white house wants the justices to reject an emergency bid from several gop-led states to keep the trump era immigration policy in place while legal challenges play out. the white house had been preparing for the end of the program, which officials say would have led to a surge in e migrant crossing. we're so glad you could join us here on "cnn this morning." thank you so much. you made the decision to call a state of emergency over the weekend. why is that, sir? >> well, it was very important that as the temperatures were starting to drop and increases in crossings that the visitors to our country, the asylum seekers and that the citizens of el paso would be safe. it was evident with temperatures

near 20 degrees, we needed to call a state of emergency. it was important to me because i can tell you that i've had a lot of people tell me it needed to be at a right time when resources were needed and this was the perfect time to do that at this point. >> i'm wondering if you're seeing it obviously, you're seeing it first hand, our dana culver is there. they are building camp fires trying to stay warm. 9,000 migrants moved out of el paso. your your community sustain that many migrants? >> whether title 42 gets lifted or not, we'll make sure we have the proper resources. can we sustain this over a long-term period, absolutely not. but our community is working together, whether it's the

sounty, the and we've got the two empty schools. so yesterday we starred a contract with our public schools to be able to and and so we are prepared whether title 42 is lifted or not. we're working on the county judge is doing a really good job of doing his resources so we can combine our resources to. >> p. >> reporter: well, like i said, we do know that we do have a broken imbrags process. right now as a community, we're working really hard to have the

re. as you said a minute ago, it's something this we cannot sustain. snoo i had the arkansas governor on. he says while the buck does stop with the administration, he does believe the onus is on congress to act. he believes it's a band-aid as well. do you think there's room for bipartisanship in washington? it's not an el paso problems. to be able to come up with a program that becomes humanitarian for everyone. >> mayor, thank you for your time and best of luck to you.

looking at these pictures and it's going to get worse. a fast approaching holiday storm which is being called a winter bomb cyclone a set to bring dangerously cold temperatures to millions of americans across the country from the northeast to the rockies. harry enten is here. harry, we don't like being cold. >> bomb cyclone this time last year. >> we've had a number of bomb cyclones. >> why did it go from 23 my age to 21? what happened? >> let's talk about this morning's number. what is it? this morning's number is 21. new york city's christmas eve high temperature forecast. the temperature changed, the high temperature forecast went from 23 down to 21, the new forecast, so even colder for christmas eve. after a high temp of 54 degrees on friday. so we're going to see a 23 degree temperature drop. i want to put this in some historical perspective. christmas eve weather and expand it out to just more than new york city to give you an idea of how far reaching these cold temperatures are. so we've got 21 in new york, 27 in atlanta, 9 in chicago.

all right. it was 81 years ago tomorrow that winston churchill visited washington as the world was in the throes of world war ii. pearl harbor had been hit by japanese forces in an attack that killed more than 2,400 americans and drew the u.s. into the war. president roosevelt after declaring december 7th a day of infamy had expressed concern

about the prime minister sailing across the atlantic, but churchill did so anyway to fortify his nation's most important alliance. it was during that visit that churchill addressed a joint session of congress the day after christmas, rallying the american people with these words a and steeling them for what was to come. >> what kind of a people do they think we are? is it possible they do not realize that we shall never cease to persevere against them, until they have been taught a lesson which they and the world will never forget. >> churchill that day became only the second foreign leader to speak before a joint session of congress in american history. today president zelenskyy is going to do the same. that trip is -- i'm a historical nerd of course but he was there for three weeks staying at the white house. >> if my memory serves me well i think it was one of a number, i think three speeches that he gave, but that one was the main

was, right, speaking in front of congress. everyone is going to be watching this moment today, i think all cameras, all eyes will be on zelenskyy. it reminded me of the moment, you were there covering it, do you remember when -- when boris johnson went to kyiv and they were calling that sort of a churchill moment because they were walking around the capital as the war was raging around them and i think kyiv had just been -- ukraine had just taken back kyiv from the russians, so we will see what these moments play out, how they look with the current president of the united states meeting with zelenskyy. >> yeah, just the historical parallels. they say history doesn't repeat itself but it rhymes, but to see a u.s. president concerned about him coming across to address congress and now zelenskyy is doing the same. >> the security that this visit -- >> yeah. >> that's going to be a study and a big story that we are going to talk b thanks, everybody, for joining us, we appreciate it. >> we have a busy day -- >> we forgot. special guest. >> we replaced anderson cooper
