that means traveling from coast to coast are stranded. some of them forced to drive thousands of miles. >> we were at the airport at noontime on sunday, finally made the call at 10:30 p.m., that we could not afford to lose any more time if we were going to drive. >> i can't rely on southwest to get the family home, so we maid need to leave a little early to drive ourselves home. >> the kreismt on the blaming the travel disaster on schedule and outdated infrastructure. the ruling that keeps on -- tens of thousands migrants now bait in limbo. we'll go to el paso, texas in just a moment. let's begin with an absolute

nightmare for southwest airlines passengers. 0% of today's 2700 flight cancellations are from southwest. the company's ceo, bob jordan, said system upgrades are floes to avoid a repeat. >> the tools we use to recover from disruption service works well 90% of the time, but we need to double down on our existing plans to upgrade systems for these extreme circumstances so we never again face what's happening right now. cnn's adrienne broadus is live where a lot of the southwest flights connectors originalate. it's one of several airports impacted by they cancellations. i see a lot of bags behind you and people thinking to find their bags. what else are you seeing? >> reporter: we're seeing some progress. you're seeing crews working to remove the bags, not necessarily

passengers right now. there's a big of organization to the chaos here. you'll nose there are white tags. there's a tag over here, photographer jake, that says reno. they're grouping all of the bags by their original destination. so luggage or bags passing through midway will be scanned into the system, put back into the baggage handling system. when the bags will actually arrive where they were supposed to, it's unclear. as you can imagine, this has been frustrating for passengers. around this time yesterday there were people here waiting in like to get thar their bags. we haven't seen that today. listen in. >> this started out as this is our christmas present. this is what we're getting flopped of presents. we were supposed to flew out, but ended up driving 14 hours.

i'm tifred. there are three of us that can drive. it's been so tiring and exhausting, i just want to go home. >> reporter: one traveler handling it with a bit of grace, but extremely transparent. she's tired. they were supposed to come to chicago for a christmas that was their gift. their bags made it here, but their flight was canceled, so they drove all the way here from dallas, texas. what you see now behind us is a path people can actually walk through. the goal is to clear this area and get this baggage claim area back to normal. officers have been here throughout the night working in shifts to watch and look over the luggage. back to you. >> there's a lot of it there.

adr adrienne broaddus, thank you. leyla santiago is live in el paso, texas this morning. you've been talking to some migrants there. what are they telling you? >> jessica, a lot of folks waking up away having spent the night in the cold. this is a shelter, and here in the morning, you see there are folks coming in to help out, give them breakfast, a bit of a meal, still on the sidewalks you'll see children, toddlers, single men, older, younger, and now they're dealing with not only uncertainty, but also fear. they don't really know what to do next, given that title 42 will remain in place. again, this is one shelter run by the church here.

a lot of these individuals do have places to go femme they have been process the, but many of these have not been processed. so they don't want to get on a bus out of fear, worry that they may end up somewhere else that they don't want to go. that's sort of the mood of where things are. i want to share a conversation that i had with one mothers from venezuela. it took her months to get up here with her two children. here's what she said when i gave her the news of the decision from the supreme court yesterday. she said she wanted to come in legally, but because of the title 42, she feels she can't. she says, it feels bad. they were hoping for something else. she echos many of the sentiments

i have heard from many of the mothers who are desperate, who want what many moms want, the best for their children, but now feel stuck, given title 42, and where it stands for now. the mayor of el paso yesterday saying they are preparing for a potential surge. they have more than 20,000 migrants on the other side of the border. despite the fact that this announcement keeps what was happening already in place with title 42, they're still preparing for thousands of migrants to make their way into el paso. in fact they're working on prepare two vacant schools to become potential shelters, preparing for migrants that could come over the next few days, weeks, months. they don't know how this would play out. for the migrants themselves, when you talk to them, you will

hear anxiety in their voice, you will hear desperation, as well as uncertainty in what's to come. >> so much uncertainty. le leyla sanityiaingo, thank you had. carly hernandez is director of the facility in new mexico that's been accepting migrants from the el paso area. thank you for coming on with us. i know you're very involved with helping they migrants. how are they receiving this ruling? and what is their general state right now? >> you know, i think our migrants have been waiting for a very long time. there's a lot of uncertainty. this ruling has almost been lifted several times, and it can be disheartening. so we're really grateful we get to be a part of when people have been processed, when they're

able to move o. and we also req knees there's quite a few people just still in limbo at this point. >> and we are seeing this video, while we're talking to you, with rosa flores, and leyla santiago in el paso, we're seeing these families. tell us about who these people are. why are they trying to come to the united states and where are this is coming from. >> people are coming from all over the countries. they're fleeing violence, insecurity of all sorts, and they're seeking safety. most of the people that we receive, most of the people that are making their way to the united states, and to other countries around the world are seeking safety wherever they can find it, for themselves and their families. >> and a lot of the talk around this has been, well, what's the plan to fix an immigration system that is clearly broken? you're working with people and

in this space every day. what would you like to see happen? >> oh, goodness, that's a great question. i'm not sure -- i'm not sure i have the answer to that. i feel like it's a multifaceted question that, you know, the u.s. certainly needs to take a look at, and so does the world. you know, each country and the u.s. i think needs to starts looking at how do we comprehensively make a plan to help keep people safe, so people can make choices instead of having -- not really versus a choice to flee for their safety. >> your facility receives migrants directly from dhs with documents to travel to their u.s.-based sponsor, right? walk us through that situation and then with somebody who is undocumented or hasn't got through that process.

>> we're a part of a collaborative network in this region in el paso, new mexico, faith-based shelters. we have partnerships with the county appeared the city and the state. we receive people every single day who are being released by the department of homeland security that are documented. they are travel to go their final destination. we provide them with all their basic needs, their food and clothing, shelter. we help them with transportation arrangements to go to meet their sponsors and their final destination. people are with us for 24 to 48 hours, then they move on. for people who do not have documents, wee very fortunate in this region to have other locations that will receive and serve people in that capacity. >> and what are the biggest needs to the people that are coming through your facility at this moment?

>> we will never say no to undergarments, to clean clothes on. we have great partnerships with the american red cross that provide toiletries. that's amazing. you know, we can always use winter gear at this point, blank either are very helpful. >> blank either are very helpful, and these record cold temperatures at this moment, too. khari lenander, we appreciate your time. >> thank you. another batch of transcripts from the january 6th committee given new insight. what cassidy hutchinson said about her former boss. and the faith of kevin mccarthy's speakership is still in limbo. and snow is falling, and crews are clearing roads as emergency services begin to

the january 6th committee has dropped a new batch of witness transcripts. they give us new details with interview with his cassidy hutchinson, revealing what led to her ultimately switching lawyers and providing damning testimony about what she saw and heard at the white house. let's bring in senior legal affairs correspondent paula reed. great to see you. what new details are we learning from hutchinson? >> we thought we heard

everything, but in these transcripts, she lays out this pattern of alleged behavior by the former president's associates, where they appear to be trying to conceal their actions between the election and inauguration day. everything from trying to keep certain meetings off the books, burning documents, and then also pressuring high-profile witnesses. first of all, she says the former white house chief of staff mark meadows told people in meetings to keep some of the meetings off the books. that means, of course, keeping them off the official entries in the white house diary. that's a public record. she can't recall specifically what kind of information he might have been trying to conceal, but it's notable he was making an effort to keep some of these meetings off the books. and allegedly he was burning documents. she saw meadows burn documents in his office fireplace about a dozen times, about once or twice

a week. i've seen the fireplace in that hive, but she testified throughout the day, he would put more logs on the fireplace to keep it returning. i realize more than a dozen times when they was put more papers on it and more logs. and at least twice those burnings came from meeting with scott perry. and lastly, what i thought was interesting were the interaction with his her and her first attorney, trump-funded, p passantino. he sort of corrects already, interjects, there was discrepancy about her recollection, and the former president's reaction, and she got eventually a different lawyer, when they came in, they had to correct some things she

said. it's notable. this was someone who is funded by trump and appears to be a pattern of trying to conceal exactly what was happening. >> just the visual of them burning the documents and keeping thing off the books, you think you know it all -- >> we never do. >> paula reed, thank you so much. >> joining me to discuss is michael moore. good morning. thank you for being here. you suggest these transcripts are a lot of smoke and not much fire to pin directly on trump, but it does appear, as we were just talking with paula, cha the chief of staff could be in jeopardy. what do you think about where this puts him? >> i think it duran the h-- turs the heat up on him. >> it looks like you have a guilty conscience. remember, most of the time people involved in criminal

activity, especially this type of activity, get caught because of their efforts to cover things up. so it certainly is a visual that could paint a picture to a jury of a desperate chief of staff. again, i don't know that it gets to trump. i don't know that, again -- there may be smoke around him. >> you say this will come down ultimately to the courts, which is right. as you point out, they will have to decide if a politician can go to jail because others take criminal action after a speech. how does that change the landscape of free and protected speech, and see how it plays out? >> i think it ultimately goes to the courts s there's no question what he said on the lips was accounts datesful and that's

being generous. i can think of a lot of other words, but the question will be for the court whether or not the fact that a policy toys makes a speech and then some other group does some outrageous criminal conduct from it, tie it is back whether or not the speech giver is the one who's actually responsible. i wonder, because of the craziness that went on during the last administration we may overreact in what we do, as far as criminal charges and that type of thing. that's why i think we need to be looking and i hope the doj is looking for a very clean, narrow case if they decide to in fact charge trump, not something that says he must have been the mastermind, he must have done this, must have done that. that just leaves reasonable doubt in jurors' mind. to forward the case without a conviction in a case of this magnitude, to charge a president, would be a fatal

error. >> you're saying make it clear and very specific. i want to ask about the release of his tax returns. you told us it would prove to be one of the greatest backfires for democrats. walk us through what makes you think that. >> well, any time you have activities done on the way out the door, that become suspect in and of themselves, especially when you talk about something of this type of political activity. here you have a congressional committee that said we need the tax returns to decide if the i.r.s. is doing their jobs. now, three, four days before the committee is disbanded or the committees change, the leadership and makeup of the committees change, they now want to release six years or so of tax returns, showing the i.r.s. wasn't doing their job.

that's a warrickeak bridge to s on. it means the timing and reasoning for it at this point becomes suspect and gives the republicans a fairly decent argument that the move is political. again, he should have given us the tax returns early on, i agree with that totally. but we should have started earlier. we should have started immediately, and not tried, at the end of the day, to throw stuff in the congressional record. it begins to looks like a political reason. i don't want to see a crazy congress do something against a normal president. that's what i worry about. michael moore, thanks for joining us. >> great to be with you. thank you so much. the new year will bring big changes to capitol hill.

next week, republican congressman kevin mccarthy will face a vote on whether he will be the next house speaker.

a handful of house republicans have already signaled they will not vote for him. he's already made a number of promises to the hardline members of his party, it looks like the speaker vote could go to the second ballot for the first time in a very, very long time. my next guest is in the only-kevin camp, meaning he's their choice. congressman, good morning, you are one of only two house republicans who voted for impeach former president trump and still won reelection. you also have said you will support mccarthy for speaker, as i mentioned. right now the math is simply not adding up. are you concerned about any promises he might have to make to win the support of these hardliners demanding, cheever among them this could have a rule in place that allow them to call for a vote to out the

speaker at any moment. >> yeah, the rule they're push fog is a motion to vacate. the reality is we all have to vote on those. that will be part of a rules package that will be passed, but they have to negotiate with all the of us. so there's a lot of us out there, like myself, who have been very vocal and continue to be vocal. i'm a part of a group that's been putting out a lot of letters to our colleagues, even on social media, we'll support mccarthy, no matter what. >> it's been interesting to see that play out. obviously the small group has been very vocal public will you, but the last couple weeks leading into christmas, we saw people like yourself become more vocal externally, really trying to get that message out.

easily 85% of the -- they vote on a secret ballot. when can comes to the floor fight, you have moderates all the way to national republicans being very vocal, and i think the pressure false on those very, very few members of congress who are saying they're going to oppose him, no matter what. >> he's already said he will restore the committee assignments of marjorie taylor green. are you concerned he would give far-right members with leadership roles? >> you know, marjorie -- and i do speak once in a while -- she's been elected by her district. there might be some policy disagreements, even disagreements on how we handle ourselves. she was elected by her district. i think she has the right to represent her district on the floor. am i concerned with some of the things she says?

yes. i assume she's concerned with some of the things i do or say as well. even though we might disgreat on specific policies, on red rick, but the reality is there's no one who has worked harder, spent more time traveling around the districts to see what type of districts we represent. in my district and other districts around the country are totally different from one another. for me, cows, water and al months. we're farming districts. we focus on a lot of different issues. but we need mccarthy who has spent time traveling the country to work hard to build consensus among all republicans, but to get him to a point where we can start to negotiate. >> i hear you, yet he still may know get there. there may be multiple ballots.

i know people like you are supportive and prior pared for that. are you open to the idea. do you think it's possible that somebody like steve scalise, who for the record says he supports kevin mccarthy. >> steve scalise is a good friend of mine. i serve on his team currently, but he himself and many others have said they're supporting mccarthy and will continue to support mccarthy. again, there is no plan b here. the plan is to get him elected as speaker. at the end of the day we could be there two, three days. it doesn't really matter. the majority of the conference understands without him, we wouldn't even be having this debate. >> i want to talk about incoming congressman george desantos.

democrats have called for him to resign. at least one of your colleagues is calling for an ethics investigation. do you believe there could be an investigation. >> one, we don't have the ability to not seat one. i think that decision was made in the late '60s. any speaker doesn't have the ability to make that decision. ultimately every other member, some i may disagree with, especially one like himself, who has proven he's lied, which is absolutely wrong, but we don't have the ability to say no to him being seated. then what happens from there i think will be, just like what happened to my opponent that i ran against in 2020, he got in trouble himself. she was seated when he ran in '18, but lost in '20.

there are people who lie about themselves that get setted, ultimately the law will catch up with them. >> would you support an ethics committee investigation? i mean, cnn's reporting has found he didn't tell the truth about his grandparents being holocaust survivors. >> he's obviously not an honest person. he's admitted to lying, but as far as lying is one thing, but putting himself in a position -- the committee has to make that decision themselves. that does not fall on people like myself. we'll see what our colleagues decided to do from that pong. congressman valadao, thank you for joining us. thanks for having me. warmer weather is moving east toward some of the area hit hardest by the massive.

fell 4% month over month. this is the sixth monthly decline in a row. year over year, home sales were down by almost 38%. that is big. and as you can see, more rates have spiked, right? we saw mortgage rates go up above 7% for the first time in seven years. they still remain very high. more than twice as high as a year ago. that's a big deal, because the higher mortgage rates are the less home that people can afford, and we're seeing that play out in a big way. >> and then what about home prices? are they cooling off. >> some markets remain pretty hot. in miami, tampa, charlotte 15%, but when you zoom out and look at the national home price situation, that has cooled off. home prices in october up by a little over 9% year over year,

according to s&p's case-shiller. that's a big dip from the gains western seeing previously. that is the significant shift. it is important to remember that all of this is a feature, not a bug of fed policy, right? is the federal reserve is raptly raising borrowing costs, and that has driven up borrowing costs. we can see it playing out in a big way. >> matt egan breaking it down for us, thanks so much. from volcanic eruption to say deadly flooding and hurricanes, 2022 was the year where the changing climate washington on full display.. because it penetrates deep into the toothth to help actively repair acid-weakened enamel. i recommend pronamel repepair to my patients.
