arkansas. still snowing. the snow on the north, severe on the south. that's what we expect and moving you ahead to tomorrow morning's rush hour. could be slow in some of the northeastern cities with some rain on the roadways. we do still have the winter storm warnings. this is going to be plowable snow. we're going to be talking about a foot of snow in some of these spots, maybe even more across parts of central nebraska and parts of minnesota and wisconsin. no breaking news it's going to snow in wisconsin. parts of the deep south and back out to the west, a little bit of light snow but for the next few days after this dry, d-r-y for california. >> that is some good news. chad myers. thanks for joining me. i'm christine romans. "cnn this morning" starts right now.

hello? >> hi, can i speak with debbie o'malley? >> she doesn't live here anymore. >> the public records says she owns it. do you know where she lives? >> that is very scary. >> talk about committing your crimes on camera. >> dumb criminals, but still frightening. good morning, poppy is off, it's just kaitlan and i today. we're reacting to that chilling surveillance video, an election denier who lost a race, he's caught on camera searching for democratic lawmakers not long before he allegedly sent gunmen to shoot up their homes. and the husband of a missing massachusetts mother has been charged with her murder. also this -- >> he hasn't committed a crime. he hasn't been indicted on anything at this point and in

this country you're innocent until proven guilty. so we're going to treat him like any other member and keep an eye on him. >> okay. his life story was fake, his resume chalked full of blatant and bizarre lies but that didn't stop republican leaders from putting george santos on two congressional committees. we begin with tragic news out ukraine, a helicopter crash in ukraine killing 18 people. among the dead, a member of president zelenskyy's cabinet. the chopper went down near a kindergarten and we're told the crash also killed children who were on the ground. straight to clarissa ward, who is live at the crash scene in ukraine. good morning to you, what are we seeing? what is the latest there? >> reporter: good morning, don. as if ukraine has not seen enough tragedy and horror this morning we are here outside this kindergarten. you can see there's an ongoing

effort to try to comb through the debris and the wreckage of this kindergarten to see if any other children or teachers may have been killed, may be injured, or beneath the rubble. basically what happens is that at 8:20 this morning, local time. a helicopter carrying nine officials, including the interior minister, his deputy, the secretary of state of the ministry of the interior and six others basically appeared to have lost control somehow of the helicopter and crashed into this kindergarten. and what we know now is that 18 people were killed, at least. that includes all nine people on board the helicopter. we saw earlier on at the scene at least four bodies covered with gold foil blankets. but they are concern there could be more who were killed. three children, tragically, have

also been killed. among those killed who were not on the helicopter, don, were people and children. they were coming here to drop their kids off to school and sadly this tragedy unfolded. we don't know yet exactly how this happened or why this happened. but the visibility was very bad this morning. we spoke to one neighbor who said the fog was so bad he could hear the crash but couldn't see it from his window. so now the race continues to try to get more information and try to make sure that there is nobody else potentially injured or killed inside that area, don. >> awful story out of ukraine that clarissa ward is following. we'll check back with you throughout the morning. thank you, clarissa. now to the disappearance of the massachusetts mother ana walshe who vanished on knenew year's day, her husband has been charged with her murder, he was already in jail on charges he misled investigators and now he's set to appear in court just

hours from now. investigators still have not found a body but the district attorney said they believe they have enough evidence to charge him with her murder. jason carroll is live in quincy, massachusetts. what are we expecting in a few hours from now? >> reporter: kaitlan, the district attorney's office has already indicated that we are expecting to hear additional details about what they've uncovered in their case when the arraignment gets under way later today. so what could that look like? perhaps what we'll get is more information about forensic evidence uncovered. remember that investigators found the hacksaw at the trash facility, a knife at the home, blood in the basement on the floor there. so perhaps we'll learn if any test results done on any of those items are linked to ana walshe. and again, prosecutors have already outlined a strange pat herb of behavior that walshe exhibited following his wife's disappearance, including buying

more than $450 of cleaning supplies at the home depot. and remember that internet search he did where he searched how to dispose of a 115 pound woman's body and how to dismember a body. during this arraignment we're expected to hear more about whatever additional evidence investigators uncovered throughout all of this. >> is the sense of your reporting we could learn more about a potential motive today at this hearing? >> reporter: that is a possibility. although it's not a requirement. as you know, here in massachusetts, prosecutors don't have to show motive. that is not something that's required as part of a murder case. they just have to show intent. they don't have to show there's a body. they do not have to show there's a motive. however, perhaps we will learn more about a motive here because that certainly is the question among so many people here on the ground, why did brian walshe do this alleged to his wife, the

mother of their three young children. kaitlan. >> we'll stay tuned thank you. salma pen ya visited the homes of two democratic leaders to protest his election loss before a conspiracy to target those homes with gun fire. this is ring doorbell footage capturing him visiting the home of debbie o'malley prior to the attack on her residence. good morning, to you. it is amazing that this was all caught on doorbell video camera. >> reporter: it's just wild, don. he didn't visit just one home and caught on ring camera once. it was twice. he went to commissioner o' o'malley's daughter's house and then her house. we don't have ring video for this but he went to another commissioner's house. this is all before the shootings began.

i spoke to both of these lawmakers and they say he was complaining that he lost the election. and i just need to point out that he lost by such a massive landslide that you could double the amount of votes he got and he still wouldn't have won. the arrest warrant said he was driven by election lies and we see it in his social media accounts. he tweeted on his candidacy website and account that, quote, trump just announced for 2024, i stand with him. he also said, i never conceded. in another tweet he said, mine was also rigged and i will fight it until the day i die. he does have his first court appearance later this morning, don. hope to learn more about the motivation behind this man. >> you said you spoke to debbie o'm o'malley, what did you learn? >> reporter: fascinating conversation. first of all, she showed us the bullet holes in her adobe wall.

i could stick my finger about half way through, that's how deep the bullet holes were. there were ten of them that i could count. a total of a dozen shots fired at her house. listen to how she described it. >> i was very angry. and i just -- just disgusted about the whole thing. >> these are significantly sized holes. >> they are. it was so loud. this happened when my husband and i were asleep. >> reporter: and she said she's obviously relieved, don. the other thing i find remarkable, she said she's not going to back down. she's not leaving her house. >> thank you for that. appreciate it. also marjorie taylor greene is officially an insider, though once shunned as a conspiracy theorist, she has landed a powerful pair of committee assignments. homeland security and oversight. the same woman who pushed 9/11

conspiracy theories does sit on the homeland security committee. that is just scratching the surface of what she said previously. >> so-called plane that crashed into the pentagon. odd there's never ever any evidence of a plane into the pentagon. there's an islamic invasion into our government owners. how do you get affidavit gun owners to give up their guns? maybe accomplish that by performing a mass shooting into a crowd. you make them scared, make them victims, and you change your mindset. kennedy getting killed in a plane crash, another clinton murder, right. according to him, many in our government are actively worshipping satan or they call molok, q is saying they participate in pedophilia and spirit cooking.

we saw there was an email out of the wikileaks email was it cheryl malls and she told hillary clinton in an elonmail was going to sacrifice a chicken in her back yard. there's a once in a lifetime opportunity to take this global cable of satan worshipping pedophiles out. >> the homeland security committee oversees the border, will likely play a role in the potential impeachment some are seeking of the homeland security secretary. and it's also going to put marjorie taylor greene in a position to investigate president biden. it's a lot of power for someone who was once stripped of her committee assignments two years ago because her extreme views, a lot of the ones you heard there. and a lot of power for someone who has repeatedly spread misinformation about the 2020 election, claiming it was

stolen, mass voter fraud tipped the scales and blaming the media in, quote, deep state for biden's win. and a lot of power for someone who speculated about space laser causing the deadly 2018 wildfires in california saying it wouldn't be a good look for the rothschild banking firm. she also spoke at a convention last year for white nati nationalists. by now kevin mccarthy and her are side by side. she's been pushing for kevin mccarthy and she's not the only person here who's been put on a committee that was in a controversial position and now has a powerful position on the hill. >> you read my mind i was thinking about george santos. let's talk about george santos,

the new york freshman known for more than his lies than policies now sitting on two lower level committees. here's how one member of the steering committee defended the choice. >> there are concerns about his past, why give him committee assignments? >> again, he -- he hasn't committed a crime, hasn't been indicted on anything in this point so in this country you're innocent until proven guilty. we're going to treat him like any other member and keep an eye on him. >> let's go to lauren fox live on capitol hill with more. lauren, good morning to you, the reaction on the hill from santos getting two committee assignments. is everyone saying let's see what happens from here? >> reporter: that is certainly the response you heard from republicans yesterday, coming out of the steering committee meeting. we should note the steering committee is often nicknamed the speaker's committee.

that is because it is full of his allies and it often reflects the speaker's wishes. so it's significant that george santos was seated not just by this committee but also because it reflects the fact that kevin mccarthy throughout the last several weeks has been arguing that george santos was elected. he was elected and represents a million people and therefore, while the ethics investigation plays out, he believes that george santos should be seated on committees. now he got two committees that are not known as a-list committees. they are not as high profile as financial services or foreign affairs committees he wanted to have. but he was placed on the small business committee and the science committee. it's going to be interesting to see what kind of player he is. remember, that when lawmakers are on these committees they sit in powerful hearings, they can question witnesses, they can pass legislation, and that all helps you when you go back home and run for re-election, make your case why you should be re-elected. >> you heard kaitlan talking

about merrickarjorie taylor gred then there's paul gosar, also after being kicked off last year. is this a sign how the house operates? if so that has repercussions for the american people. >> reporter: it certainly reflects that kevin mccarthy needed every vote for the speaker's race. marjorie taylor greene was with him at the beginning, advocating with him, which put her at odds in the freedom caucus but it's important she's seat on the homeland security committee. all of that is something that we should be watching for. it's also really interesting that paul gosar is returning to the natural resources committee. it's not necessarily as high profile as something like homeland security or oversight but what it does show you is that it gives an opportunity -- because he's from the state of arizona, to work on issues that matter for his state.

that helps you get re-elected. so kevin mccarthy and the steering committee doing these members a favor when they go back home and argue to constituents look what i'm doing for you. >> lauren, thank you. also this morning the white house council's office is struggling to answer question about biden's handling of classified documents. the administration has faced those documents when they first made it known to the public. there were a lot of questions on tuesday, but not a ton of answers behind what happened behind the scenes. mj lee is live at the white house. i know you were on the call with the rest of our white house team what questions were not answered by white house officials on this matter and why did they say they couldn't answer those questions? >> reporter: it's curious, remember over the weekend, the white house counsel's office said now there's a special investigation we'll refer all questions to the special

counsel's office. yesterday they convened a press call with reporters to try to defend their handling of this saying the president takes classified documents seriously, they have been cooperating from day one and will continue to do so. but after about 30 minutes of taking many questions from reporters we basically didn't learn any new facts and these are important questions still outstanding. questions like why did the white house wait to disclose the fact that there were classified documents discovered. why did biden lawyers who don't have security clearances proceed to look for classified documents after that initial discovery on november 2nd. the fact they had this call anyway, even though there were a lot of facts they cannot share. i think this shows the struggle that the white house is facing right now, feeling like it cannot address the facts of an investigation that is still ongoing. and also wanting to feel like they are showing that they are trying to answer to the criticisms of the lack of transparency right now. >> i saw the press secretary

said yesterday biden has full confidence in his team handling this, but there's been reporting from you and other colleagues at cnn that the president is frustrated behind the scenes. what is his take on how they handled this so far? >> as you said, there's been a lot of criticism, too. this is not just coming from republicans or the usual critics. it's democrats too and allies close to the president and they have really just focused on this issue of this narrative having become a drip drip drip narrative and they feel like that could have been avoided and when the white house press secretary was asked yesterday, does the president have confidence in his team's handling of all of this, she said, yes, he does. but as you said, we know that the president himself has grown frustrated this story consumed the white house when there are so many other things they would rather be foe cussed on. >> they have state of the union coming up, maybe a 2024

announcement. thank you. just hours from now we'll hear from president zelenskyy, all the world leaders have been gathering in davos. president zelenskyy will be addressing them on the world stage. will his plea for more weapons work? and "the daily show" has a new host. sort of. >> i'm going to tell you right now, this comfortable ass chair is mine! was hiring local talent. if i knew about upwork. i would haveve hired actually talented people from all over the world. instead of talentless people from all over my house. hi, susan. honey. yeah. i respect that. but that cough looks pretty bad. try this robitussin honey. the real honey you lov plus the powerful cough relief y need. mind if i root through your trash? robitussin. the only brand with real honeyand elderberry. when aspen dental told me that my dentus were ready, i was so excited. i love the confidence.

first, i would like to give a shout out to trevor noah. one of the things that moved me so much in his last show. he said if you want to truly learn about america, talk to black women. well, guess who's coming to dinner, baby! >> let me just say this. i love me some leslie jones. it's not perfect grammar but that's how i feel. >> remember how funny she was during the pandemic when she's watch the news and comment and record it and post it on twitter. >> there's a clip of her going don, don, to a number of shows i was doing. leslie jones, congratulations guest hosting the daily show for the first time last night. and in true "daily show" fashion she took on the big stories in d.c. >> classified material next to your corvette, what were you thinking? >> by the way, my corvette is in

a locked garage. so it's not like it's sitting out on the street. >> what? this is a national security emergency. okay. a man this old with access to a corvette! i don't know what's more scary biden losing the nuclear codes or biden going 85 on the highway. biden, please do not drive that corvette. your ass can't even ride a bike! >> okay, so the first guest host to fill in after trevor noah's departure. other guest hosts include wanda sy sykes, d.l. hughley. there are a bunch of people,

chelsea handler, roy wood jr. good morning, how are you? >> i'm good. >> i love your attire. >> i got my don lemon starter kit on. the bracelets, navy blue and white. real recognize real. this is great. >> enough about me. what do you think of me. kidding. i have not been asked to fill in yet -- >> okay. it's coming though. >> what did you think of leslie, good morning thank you for joining us. >> thank you for having me. >> it was great. first start. there were rough edges. anyone who's done television on a daily basis knows what she's doing on "saturday night live" is different. you can rehearse all week for one show. what are you going to do monday, tuesday, wednesday, thursday. you know this grind. i'm hoping as a guest host she

doesn't try to make us forget trevor she allows us to remember leslie. that's the key for all the guest host. i've guest hosted for "access holl hollywood", i can't make you remember billie bush but i can make you remember segun. >> what does she bring to the table that's different? we went from jon stewart to trevor noah. what does she have? >> it's the politics and news filtered through the lens of a strong black woman, who is unapologetically black in her humor. it's in your face. it's expressive. what trevor did was filter it through the lens of an immigrant. he's bi-racial from south africa. so his look had that lens. i think leslie brought in some of the -- you know, like the person on the street asking

white people about marlin luther king day and making a man do 37 push ups as reparations for not knowing anything more than i have a dream in the i have a dream speech. which should be mandatory, know the dr. king i have a dream speech. >> this isn't bad, don't -- my mom loves trevor noah. so i can't say anything bad about trevor. i love trevor. remember in the beginning, he had to grow into the role. he was standing up and then he sat down, he got compared to jon stewart and people were talking about his accent. so whoever fills his shoes, as you said, they have to be themselves and bring something new to the table. there are people who can do that. do you think, in this first episode, that she did that? i thought she was funny. i didn't think she was trying to be trevor in this first episode.

>> i'm glad she wasn't, she can't be. like trevor couldn't be jon. he had to find his stride, to your point, and are these guest hosts only going to get a week to find their stride. it's going to take longer if they haven't done it before. i'm interested about leslie because some of the other guest hosts they showed have done this before. it's hard for me not to remember wanda sykes or chelsea handler, their shows. >> speaking of chelsea. here's the thing people don't talk about. trevor is leaving because he wants to be on the road, he wants to relate to a live audience doing comedy. i know those hours, i wouldn't a comedian -- >> really, don lemon? >> those hours aren't -- they aren't easy. >> no. >> but if you are a standup comedian in that position, it ties you to the desk, an anchor desk than being out there. so every once in a while, every couple years you get to do a special.

when you think of wanda pssykes loves being on the road. chelsea handler had the late night show. are they going to want to be tied to a desk? >> they might if the money is right. if you pay them well enough, they're coming off the road. >> trevor is different. >> i think why trevor left, what was really smart about it is, if he stayed too long he becomes "the daily shows" trevor noah. leaving when he did, he's trevor noah who did the daily show. we don't associate the show with jon stewart anymore, he's his own entity. that's what noah is going for. these hosts are not as established anymore. i don't think comedians want to be on the road doing the shows the way they used to. there's a lot of things they

can't say anymore, especially r risque comments. only chappelle gets that leeway. >> it's a huge platform for them to build their brand further. >> segun thank you. >> it's my first time, hopefully not my last time. and don i'm dressed for it. >> don't try to steal my style. >> i'm trying to steal the gig. >> it was great. your first appearance and last. just kidding good to see you. up next this morning, why americans are starting to spend less. plus western allies need to quote step up military support to ukraine. that's from the european commissioner. up next the latest aid package being sent to ukrainian fighters. so we're hard at work

welcome back, everyone, to "cnn this morning." here's what's coming up. the new survey that suggests americans could spend less money this year. we'll discuss. plus why former president trump is calling out prominent evangelical leaders. and republicans wasting no time with investigations into the biden family. reporting straight ahead. it's a critical week for ukraine has president zelenskyy is set to address the world's political and business leaders who gathered in davos in a few hours. he's expected to raise his pleas for more advanced weapons as the war is stretching into a tough winter campaign with expectations for what could happen in the spring while most nato ally countries have poured billions into ukraine, new reporting suggests the united states and the united kingdom

could not be on the same page what to send. >> what we've seen in recent weeks not only from the united states and united kingdom but from many other countries is a continued commitment to make sure that the ukrainians do have what they need. >> really, all i can do, is find myself reinforcing the points that secretary blinken has made. >> joining us now is white house and national security correspondent for "the new york times," david sanger, also a cnn political and national security analyst. i think one big question is we are seeing world leaders like this gather together and ahead of these meetings with zelenskyy speaking there are questions what exactly to send ukraine. i wonder what your sense of your reporting is on how aligned the united states and the rest of the nato allies still are on what exactly to send. >> kaitlan, in a broad sense, it's remarkable that they are still all together nearly a year

into this war. putin's calculus had been divide, nato, and, in fact, we're seeing nato probably more unified on the general principle of pushing back on russia than they've ever been. and you've seen japan and germany make really remarkable shifts in their foreign policy, some of the biggest shifts they've made in decades to be far more aggressive to help with actual fighting equipment. but when you dig beneath the surface you see differences. the british secretary came to washington yesterday, had lunch with a number of us and made the case we only have weeks in order to get more equipment into the hands of the ukrainians and they're capable of winning a total victory. the american view is this is probably going to be a long slog

of many years and we have to be prepared to support ukraine for many years and that's going to require a different kind of support. and the germans are under pressure to ship tanks that they have. they have not agreed to go do that yet or agreed to allow countries that have tanks that are designed by germany to send them, poland and others. so there's a lot to work out. >> okay. so that's interesting. talk about the timeline later but let me ask you, you mentioned a number of different countries. explain the difference with each different country because they have to weigh their level of support, what they're going to send. that's a lot of coordination in doing that. >> that is. i think secretary blinken, defense secretary austin will tell you they spend most of their day trying to keep this group of nato allies together and synced up.

that's what that meeting in germany is all about on friday. but that said, don, i think it's fair to say that there are somewhat different assessments here about what level of risk to go take. now, when we saw the foreign minister of britain yesterday, he basically dismissed the threat that vladimir putin makes periodically to employ nuclear weapons or move them around saying the more they're under pressure, you're going to hear that. saying you have to dismiss it. there are a lot of people in the pentagon who think you could never dismiss vladimir putin discussing nuclear weapons. there isn't anyone seeing him do anything yet but there's an expectation he may do. and the germans are concerned that europe is not ready, more than seven decades after world

war ii, to see german tanks rolling across europe even in the defense of the ukrainians. there was a time german tanks went through ukraine in a different situation in 1940, '41. >> david, quickly before we let you go this morning. we know you have new reporting there's an ammunition stockpile in israel that you're reporting the pentagon is tapping into it, a it's little known, b we know that ukrainian needs ammunition, and c israel is concerned of what it looks like with their levels of support for fear of angering the russians. >> this is from my colleagues not from me. the u.s. keeps stockpiles of ammunition in israel so they can use it anywhere in the middle east. they've been quietly raiding that some to move ammunition quickly into the hands of the

ukrainians. now the israelis don't have any control over this. it's a u.s. stockpile. but the fact of the matter is that it's coming out of israeli territory. and as you point out, the israelis have not fully embraced ukraine by any means in recent times. they've been trying to keep the russians happy, because they need russia's help in syria. >> david sanger, have a great morning. thank you so much for joining us. we'll see you soon. a minnesota university that called one of its lecturer's actions islamaphobic is now walking back their r rebuke. what they're s saying.

so an adjunct art history professioner is suing hammond university in minnesota after they fired her for showing an image of a 14th century painting featuring the profit mo hammed n an art history class. one student objected and complained to administrators, now in a statement the university said in the interest of hearing from and supporting our muslim students language was used that does not reflect our statements on academic freedom based on that we have determined that our usage of the term islamophobic was therefore, flawed. interesting. john avlon our senior political analyst is here. what do you make -- this is an about face? what do you make of this? >> this is a big story when it comes to academic freedom. it's a small liberal arts college and they seem to have lost the idea of what this

means. art history class she went in saying she was going to show pictures of religious figures warned students at the outset, showing the image of a 14th century painting, painted by muslim artists at the time, one student complained and she was dismissed. the president of the university wrote, sensitivity to muslim students should have super ceded s academic freedom. which reminds us it's important to be sensitive to people of faith, but if you're doing the right thing and warning people that it might be offensive. >> we've seen it at small schools, the students have more leeway when they complain about

something like that. the former president was asked about prominent evangelical leaders not coming out and endorsing his 2024 bid so far. this is what trump said in response to that. >> such a sign of disloyalty. there's great doisloyalty in th world of olymppolitics. >> i talked to trump advisers after this because that was a d key block that helped deliver the white house to donald trump. they said they believe this is a self-defeating issue for trump. >> this is an own goal but i think he blurted out what he believes. remember loyalty with donald trump is a one-way street. but to your point, white evangelicals voted for donald trump that voted for george w. bush who is actually a

born-again christiane. -- born-again christian. for him to lash out saying they're disloyal, does he think they're his pets that can be called to heel? we have a problem in this country with the polarization, the polarization of religious faiths and this insult to the community saying they have to fall in line when he runs, reminds us of the importance of keeping elections separate from religion. >> he did the same thing with jewish americans. >> he did. questioning their loyalty because in that trump centric universe, it's all about what's good for donald trump and not actually the e sssence of reachg o out and getting converts. >> he was saying because of roe v. wade they didn't come out as much he believes in the midterms

after it was already overturned. >> religion and politics is complicated. he blamed the overturning of roe v. wade for the performance of 2022 now saying he wants credit for it. in 2020 i interviewed a series of religious leaders about the choices, biden being a person of faith. and was reminded the bible warns against the sin of lying over 116 times. so it seems to me those are factors you put in place overtime and the totality. but bottom line we have to breakdown the polarization of faith in american politics. >> needs to get out more. >> there's that too. >> thank you, john. straight ahead, why the coroner has deferred lisa marie's cause of death. our dr. sanjay gupta will explain.
