decide it was -- when jeff bezos, mark zuckerberg, those people were giving money to joe biden in the last administration, was that the subject of a cartoon? it was not. it was not. this is an idealogical problem. >> meghan. >> "post" deserves it. >> i don't want to sound dra mate dramatic about state- run media. musk is putting things out on x. we're getting it close to it not being objective. everyone is going to say it's always been left, more democratic leaning, but when we start censoring these things, this is where we get in trouble with our democracy. >> we talked a lot in this election about suburban moms and voting democratic groups. none are talking about editorial car cartoons. remember that. this is a d.c. conversation. >> it goes more than editorial cartoons and goes into the coverage. when you have all these people leaving and going to different publy lications and elon musk doing things on x, we're running into a place where there is a censorship piece. the argument is that it is always to the left. i see what republicans say. we're running dangerously

close. >> running up against 7:00 a.m. thank you for being here. thanks to all of you at home for joining us, as well. stay safe in the snow, if that's where you are. i'm kasie hunt. don't go anywhere. it is snowing and snowing and knowing. millions under the warning of a winter storm. today, hundreds of supporters attack the capitol, rioting over the loss. this morning, the house speaker says there will be no delay in certifying trump's win. last night was substance and style. emotional wins and some awkward moments at the golden globes. we have them all for you. i'm sara with kate

bolduan and john berman. the team is back. this is "cnn news central. " happening now, tens of millions of americans are against a crippling winter storm. snow and ice emergencies declared across several states. the worst of it about to hit washington, d.c. even a small dusting can shut things down, and this is more than a small dusting. 3 inches of snow could fall each hour. unclear if it'll slow down the count of the electoral college votes. it is, after all, january 6th. congress has work to do. washington could get 16 inches of snow by the time it'sit's done, which would be nearly double the snowfall from 2023 and 2024 kban combined. trucks are jackknifed everywhere. thousands of flights delayed or canceled. it is a mess.

let's get right to meteorologist derek van dam to find out how things look at this moment, derek. >> john, even the national weather service warns the primary roads could be impassable with the snowfall rates expected in and around washington, d.c. this is coming out of kansas city, missouri. the ice part of the storm, then snow fell on top of this. it slid cars off the highways. it jackknifed 18-wheelers. this is an intense, very powerful storm as people return home from their holidays and are left with this mess. the storm spans about 800 miles from st. louis all the way to the nation's capital. i want you to see the winter weather alerts that are in place for millions of americans. as i stands this morning, waking up on monday morning, it'll be difficult travel conditions. i promise you, this is the lincoln memorial here. way in the distance in d.c. it's shrouded this cloud and snow that's currently falling in and around d.c. 28 degrees right now around the nation's capital. i do want you to see

the heaviest band of snow. it's setting up south of washington, so that's something to consider. there is drier air settling in. another round of snow will impact not only the evening chute commute in d.c. but overnight. if they see over a foot of snow, this will ellipse the snow z zilla, which was the term given to the last major snowstorm over a foot in d.c. with the latest radar trends, it looks like the heaviest snow will be just south of the city into southern maryland and southern sections of delaware and the spine of the appalachians. we'll pick up a good foot of snow in some locations. can't forget about the ice potential. this is going to create very slick roadways, especially interstate 70. i- 95 corridor traveling north and south. with the ice accumulating on the, well, let's say the tree limbs and the electrical wires, this is taking down some power in locations. 250,000 customers without power

as it stands. there is a secondary band of snowfall behind the walloping of snow in d.c. as we get the lull in the midday, parts of the afternoon, plan ahead. heading home from work in and around the nation's capital, another round of snow will greet you just in time for the evening rush. john, something to consider. >> yeah, and if this beats the snow zilla, i wonder if it'll be a mothra. obscure creature reference for viewers. the cold will be a serious issue for millions of people. >> coldest air of the season developing behind it. there will be days where we don't see the thermometer climb above 32 degrees across parts of the midwest and into the plain states. frigid temperatures, plan ahead. this is going to be the big story going forward after the storm system depart, and then we look forward to the potential of yet another snowstorm. this time, in the deep south by the weekend. john. >> you're watching this very closely, derek van dam. we'll come back to you.

friends in d.c. , we're thinking about you. we know you don't handle snow so well. kate. today is january 6th, a day that's more than just a date on the calendar. now, a reminder of an ugly chapter in american history, when a protest of donald trump's supporters turned into an attack on the u.s. capitol. now, four years and another presidential election later, congress will clear the way for donald trump to be sworn in as president again. at 1:00 p.m. this afternoon, as dictated by the constitution, lawmakers will begin counting the electoral votes to certify donald trump's november victory, which also means vice president kamala harris will be the one presiding over the certification and presiding over her election loss. lauren fox has it all for us. it'll be an important day. it always is an important day. one that takes on so much more significance now. what are you expecting, lauren? what are you hearing? >> traditionally, viewers at home maybe would have been paying minimal attention to the certification of the

election on capitol hill. in part because it was not traditionally that transformative of a day in washington. it was really an opportunity to simply count the votes that had already been cast. obviously, that changed four years ago. today, what we expect is a return, hopefully, to normalcy. what we know is the president of the senate, who in this case is vice president kamala harris, she will preside over a joint session of congress. at the same time, what she will do is she will open each state's envelope. then she'll hand them to four tellers. that's the top republican and the top democrat in both the house and the senate, who are going to be counting the votes today. those are the top democrats and republicans on the administrative committees. but then that's it. if no one challenges the election, which we don't expect democrats to challenge any of these results, then they basically go through that and it could be over in just under

an hour. obviously, kate, that is very different than what we saw last year. even after the historic attack on the capitol, there were several republicans who challenged the results of the election as they were trying to count and certify. kate. >> yes, exactly. and then after what should be an unmomentous hour today, republicans are talking a lot now about their priorities and what they want to do when they get back to work. >> yeah. i mean, what we have seen over the last several days is republicans really cementing around a different strategy than they'd cemented around in december, which is that house republicans, the speaker, in particular, are pushing for one large package, using a process known as reconciliation, which essentially just means that it is something they can pass with just 51 votes. a simply majority in the united states senate. here's why that's a little bit different than what they'd been talking about before. previously, they'd thought of doing two separate bills.

john thune, the incoming majority leader in the senate, he had been arguing for trying to pass something in the first 100 days, dealing specifically with border security. his hope is that you could create some kind of momentum around passing something quickly for the new president, donald trump. now that strategy is shifting. they want to do a larger tax and border bill in one. the challenge, kate, is you have narrow majorities in the house and the senate. that's a lot to pack in in one single bill. you heard the speaker yesterday setting out a very ambitious deadline, saying he's hoping to finish it by the end of april. that doesn't give them much time. kate. >> absolutely not. great to see you. thanks so much, lauren. see what happens today. sara. breaking overnight, canadian prime minister justin trudeau is expected to resign this week. the new cnn reporting about why he's expected to step down after nine years in power. meta glasses, trips abroad, and visits to new

breaking news this morning. canadian prime minister justin trudeau is expected to announce as soon as today that he's stepping down as leader of canada's ruling liberal party, according to canadian media outlets. calls for his resignation

has grown louder amid of plummeting polling ahead of canada's general election supposed to happen later this year. trudeau is facing mounting crisis, including terror threats by donald trump and the resignations of key allies. paula newton is in ottawa for us. if trudeau resigns as he is expected to, what are some of the things that would have prompted this resignation? >> reporter: yeah, sara, look, beyond the fact he's been in power for more than nine years, the inflation coming out of the pandemic is key here. canadians are feeling it. but they are blaming the trudeau government for why they're feeling it. a lot of it has to do withwith immigration, the legal kind. it has put so much pressure on things like housing and public services. canadians feel it's been mismanaged. also, finances not in great shape. a record deficit coming out of the books in the last

few weeks. key here, though, imagine it, sara, his key deputy, the finance minister resigned just a few weeks ago. you can say in a huff. it was a blunt resignation letter. she blamed him for costly political gimmicks and said that, instead, canada should be pushing back on trump's america first policy. should have, you know, really their finances in order before they do that. look, there is a lot of turmoil here in canada right now. polls have showed that the conservative party now beating the liberal party by more than 20% on most polling averages. a lot of that has to do with the carbon tax, as well. sara, many canadians feeling this government is way past its due date, literally based on the economy, first and foremost. a conservative leader, pierre, has gotten a boost from the maga base, going viral in many instances on things like fighting that carbon tax, which canadians are also saying many, especially out west, saying they're fed up with. i do want to say, though, right

now, everything remains in flux. we have a cabinet meeting later this afternoon. trudeau has not indicated exactly when or if he'd resign. i can tell you that in the last few weeks, he was not thinking that he'd have to resign. the polls are showing otherwise right now. sara, stop me when this sounds familiar. we are in uncharted territory in canada. there must be an election later this year. there is no succession plan in place as of yet. we could, in canada, in the next few weeks have an interim prime minister, something that has never happened. >> well, uncharted territory does sound quite familiar here in america. thank you so much, paula newton, there in ottawa for us. investigators revealed new details into the planning of the new orleans ter torre ror attack. the attacker used glasses to survey the area. president- elect trump is

set to undo years of work on rioters.

into the planning of the deadly new orleans attack on bourbon street. the man that carried out the attack that killed 14 people visited new orleans twice in the months before new year's day and wore a and you're seeing it there, of smart glasses to film the french quarter and plan out what he would do. he also wore those same glasses during the attack, though they had not been activated. cnn senior law enforcement act list, former fbi director andrew mccabe got up early for us this morning. appreciate you coming on.

investigators also found he traveled to egypt and canada. would they be looking into who he met in those places to see ifif there are further links to isis? >> definitely. sara, i can tell you that 100%. in fact, of all the things we learned in the press conference questioned, to me, this was by far the most significant. the reason is, this is the only lead, investigative lead that we are aware of right now that could really bring the government, particularly law enforcement and intelligence communities, closer to preventing other attacks. if this attacker, jabbar, met with individuals who are in any way related to his attack in new orleans, in helping him think about it, helping him plan it, helping him pick a target, providing him any sort of training, financial support, whatever that might be, this is the opportunity for the government to identify a potential terrorist node

that could lead them to identifying other operatives who have attacks planned here in the united states or other countries. this is a crucial detail. i'm sure they're working closely with colleagues in egypt and canada to follow up exactly where he went and what he did while he was there. >> i do want to think about how the fbi couched this, saying initially, it is believed to be isis inspired. you're basically saying, this could change all that, if there was some meeting between him and others in either of these countries. >> that's exactly right. so i think it was certainly reasonable to conclude with our initial information that this, this attacker was inspired by isis. that's based predominantly on the videos that he created during his drive to new orleans. but if you listen to the choice of words, he actually says in one of the videos, "i joined isis. " it is an odd thing for someone to say who has only been following them online

and consuming their propaganda. the use of "i joined" suggests to me that he actually had some contact with someone in isis. now, that's a stretch. we don't have any evidence to back that up yet, but if i were running this investigation, that's the direction i'd be looking. >> let's talk about some of the other detail. you say some of the new details, like the fact he had visited new orleans a couple of times in the months prior to the attack and reserved that rental truck that he used six weeks ago, that it sort of changed your assessment of the attacker. why is that? >> it really did. you know, initially -- and, again, in the immediate aftermath of the attack, you know very little. you're looking at a small sliver of the facts that you'll have eventually. but in the immediate aftermath, we knew that he had traveled to the attack site literally hours before, right, within the day preceding the attack. that suggests a certain, like, hastiness in terms of

maybe target selection and methods and things like that. what we know now is he has been planning this for months. not one, but two trips to new orleans in the lead- up to the attack. conducted extensive surveillance with those meta glasses that have been talked about a lot since the press conference. the simple fact that he was riding around surveilling the area, creating videos that he could look at later as he was actually sketching out the details of his plan, very significant there. then, of course, the rental truck. he knew at least six weeks in advance exactly what type of vehicle he was looking for to do this attack. it all shows a very high level of organizational capability. he's the type of guy that could do this sort of disciplined approach. of course, the amount of time he has been thinking about it is pretty significant. >> really chilling to see the view from his own eyes as he is looking around before the attack, as he is planning this terrorist attack. it is super disturbing.

andrew mcccabe, thank you for walking us through this this morning. appreciate it, kate. coming up, tens of millions of americans are facing rough and extreme winter weather today. some spots preparing for up to 16 inches of snow. and i'll see you in two weeks. the vikings head coach, that's what he is saying, already preparing for a rematch after last night's late- night loss to the detroit lions.

back now live. live look at washington, d.c. u.s. capitol. those are snowplows right there. squint really closely. this morning, d.c. is facing a snow emergency. emergency is in effect right now. just about everything in the city is shut down. d.c. notoriously struggles when even a dusting of snow falls to the ground. all shut down except capitol hill, as congress is preparing to certify the 2024 election. but a record amount of snow could be coming to them. up to 16 inches possible. of course, we have to send cnn's gabe cohen out into it to help help us understand what is going on. gabe, what are you seeing? >> reporter: kate, i will say, this is not exactly a dusting. we have seen pretty consistent snowfall throughout the morning. if you look, you can see, there's already several inches accumulated here on the ground. expecting maybe 6 to 10 inches in d.c. by the end of the night. it's shaping up to be the biggest storm to hit the nation's capital in at least three years. that's why there is a

snow warning in effect until late tonight. emergency declarations here in washington and at least six states right now. schools are shut down across this entire region. federal government offices are also closed today. it's possible this could extend, kate, into tomorrow. maybe into the rest of the week. as you mention, d.c. sometimes has a little trouble getting back on its feet when we experience snowfall like this, especially potential record snowfall. it's happening right now on this critical day as we're waiting for the election to be certified here at the capitol. you can see this line of police cars going in right now to the capitol. we've seen dozens, kate, maybe even hundreds this morning. it is a fortified center right now. you can see the fencing that's gone up around the building there. mpd, the local police department, as well as federal law enforcement really on high alert right now, not just because of happened january 6th four years ago, but what happened in new orleans a couple weeks ago. we know that the local police department fully

activated today. every officer on the street working 12- hour shifts, kate. that's going to continue through the rest of the week. the question for them is, how does this storm affect things? they're hoping it's going to mean less security concerns, that people stay home. we'll see, kate, as the snow continues coming down. it's going to keep coming down into the night. >> absolutely. gabe, thank you so much. you are seeing a lot of police vehicles heading in toward the capitol right now, showing the security presence. >> i want to see more of gabe's red pants there, which i fully support. a brand-new op-ed from president biden in "the washington post" this morning on the significance of january 6th. the past, present, and the future on this day when, as gabe said, congress will count the electoral votes. the president writes, "we should be proud our democracy withstood this assault four years ago, and we should be glad we will not see such a shameful attack again this year. but we should not forget. " let's get right to the white house.

arlette is there this morning. >> reporter: president biden has long held january 6th as a personal day. in "the washington post" op- ed this morning, he argued that there is an obligation for americans to remember the truth of what happened in order to not have a repeat of that down the road. now, the president wrote in this op-ed that he believes there are efforts to erase and rewrite history, trying to explain that january 6th insurrection as simply a protest out of hand. but the president argued that the truth should not be lost. he wrote, quote, we should commit to remembering january 6th, 2021, every year, to remember it as a day when our democracy was put to the test and prevailed. to remember that democracy, even in america, is never guaranteed. now, president biden made defending democracy a central piece of his re- election bid. he has long argued that

president-elect donald trump posed a direct threat to democracy and that his actions on january 6th were proof of that. now, yesterday, after the president spoke here at the white house at a bill signing, he was asked by reporters whether he still believes trump does pose that threat to democracy. take a listen. >> do you still believe he is a threat to democracy? >> i think what he did was a genuine threat to democracy. i'm hopeful that we're beyond that. >> reporter: now, vice president kamala harris will preside over the senate as they are certifying the results of this election, an election that she lost and donald trump won. president biden has argued that they are trying to give to trump what was not afforded to biden four years ago, a peaceful transfer of power, which is set to happen in two weeks from today. >> the president has an agenda today, as well, arlette. he is headed to new orleans. what are the plans there? >> reporter: yeah, president biden and first lady jill biden

will spend about 1/2 hours on the ground in new orleans, meeting with officials and also with victims of the new year's day terror attack. biden spoke by phone with families last week, but this will give him an opportunity to meet face-to- face, hear their concerns, and mourn with them at this time, as well. the president will attend an interfaith prayer service in new orleans, marking the new year's day attack. this could be one of the final moments we see president biden step into that role of consoler in chief. a role that he stepped into time and time again amid senseless tragedies, and he is hoping today to offer some solace to the family members who lost their loved ones on new year's day. >> arlette sainz for us at a snowy white house, thank you so much. sara. >> thank you, john. donald trump's return to the white house is already upending hundreds of pending prosecutions against his supporters who attacked the capitol four years ago today. federal prosecutors and the justice department are feeling the pressure as defendants talk

of trump pardoning them and are not eager to cut plea deals. the vast majority of january 6th cases have been resolved with plea deals. 80% of all the cases prosecuted so far have ended with defendants pleading guilty. cnn's shall cohen has much more on the story. what are you learning of the impact of donald trump's presidential win here? >> sasara, it's been a long four years. the justice department and fbi are still investigating the attack on the u.s. capitol. they're still running down new leads, making new arrests, and they are actively prosecuting about 300 pending cases in court. federal law enforcement source told cnn that trump's election has already upended the ongoing efforts to hold the rioters accountable. a big reason for that is because prosecutors, like you said, were hoping to resolve most of those cases with plea deals. but with trump taking office in two weeks, sources say many of these defendants are in no mood to negotiate. many of the plea talks

have simply broken down. yes, it's been four years, but arrests are still trickling in. the fbi recently nabbed a member of the proud boys from new york and a man from alabama who allegedly stabbed police with a flagpole. this investigation four years later is very much ongoing, but a source says that after the november election, the fbi issued new guidance, telling agents to prioritize felony cases instead of misdemeanor cases. with limited time and limited resources, investigators are focusing on rioters suspected of assaulting police or using weapons. that means many of the trump supporters who breached the capitol but didn't contribute to the violence will likely never face justice if they haven't been charged yet. sara, morale has tanked inside the doj division working these cases. one official told me, quote, that sometimes it feels like rearranging deck chairs on the titanic, and you can understand why.

they just spent the last four years of their lives hunting down and prosecuting more than 1,500 rioters, and president- elect trump might wipe that all away when he takes office just two weeks from today. sa va. >> marshall cohen, thank you for your reporting. joining us now is former congressman from pennsylvania, charlie dent. charlie, great to see you. i just want to jump off of marshall's reporting right there. i mean, even st one bit. roughly 300 federal cases are still active and unresolved. trump's win is essentially frozen all plea negotiations ongoing, as per some of the reporting. what is the real impact if trump's justice department completely stops progress with these cases and if trump makes good on his promise to pardon a lot of these people? >> well, if doj doesn't proceed, i think a lot of folks are going to look at this and say, boy, justice has not been done.

there's no accountability. if donald trump does, in fact, pardon everybody associated with january 6th, including those who were very violent that day, again, i think that will be a big problem for donald trump going forward because most americans, i believe, still think people should be held accountable for their actions. i think it'd bode very poorly for the incoming administration if they were to start pardoning so many of these people who behaved so disgracefully on that day four years ago. >> charlie,let charlie, let's talk about the day fuhr four years ago. arlette was talking about biden's op-ed. let me read one bit of the president's opinion piece. saying, "an unrelenting effort has been under way to rewrite, erase the history that day, saying we didn't see what we saw with our own eyes, to dismiss concerns about it as some partisan obsession, to explain it away as a protest

that just got out of hand. this is not what happened," he says. "we cannot allow the truth to be lost." what do you think of the fact that, four years after that horrible day, donald trump's election win is about to be certified, sending him back to the white house a second time? >> well, in many respects, it shows our system does work. donald trump won this election fair and square, just as joe biden won fair and square four years ago. we are about to witness in a few hours the peaceful transfer of power, the certifications will be accepted from the states. that will set up the peaceful transfer and the inauguration, you know, a week and a half later. in many respects, i can make a case that our system held, it's strong, but that does not change the fact that what happened four years ago, that it was shameful that the president- elect behaved the way he did to deny the fact that he lost an election. but the system is work.

you know, good for joe biden for standing up and being big about everything. i hope the democrats certify just as they have promised they would. >> broadly, more broadly, though, i mean, right after the insurrection, there were some republicans calling on trump to be impeached, or at the very least saying he needs to be held accountable for the attack on the capitol, and blaming him for what happened. what do you think it says about the country that -- i mean, i'll just say it doesn't matter now or didn't matter in this election? >>. >> well, it's clear that donald trump doesn't appear he'll be held accountable for his actions on that day. it seems much of the country has moved on. clearly, january 6th was not the issue that motivated most voters. they were motivated by inflation and the border and other issues that played more to the republican's benefit. i think the country has moved on. that said, it doesn't appear that president- elect trump is going to be held accountable.

we'll see what the judge up in new york does with his sentencing decision coming shortly. right now, if you're looking for accountability for the former president, you're probably not going to get it. >> you retired from congress in 2018. i was curious, when you were watching the speaker's fight play out on friday, wondering what you think that might be foreshadowing for what's going to happen with this very slim republican majority now. >> well, with this slim majority, house republicans are going to have a very difficult time doing much of anything. we had a little mini or micro drama on friday. now, republicans want to take up the reconciliation process, which means you need simply over 50 votes to pass a bill in the senate or 51. it strikes me right now that the republicans will be wise, and donald trump would be wise, to listen to senator john thune about how they should proceed. with a narrow margin,

they're probably going to need to do something like the border bill first. it's easier to do politically. there's some talk between johnson and trump that they put all this stuff into one, big bill. i have news for them. the more stuff you put in the bill, the harder it is to pass it. they're talking about putting, say, a debt ceiling into this reconciliation process, which to me means, you know, he has a group of house republicans who will never vote for a debt ceiling. i can tell you a whole bunch of reasons why, with this narrow majority, trying to jam everything into , big bill will make things more difficult. we'll see what they do. they don't have the margin for error. certainly, johnson will need to keep hakeem jefferys' cell phone on speed dial because he'll need him to fund the government, passing appropriations bills and continuing resolution. expect republicans to need a big lift from democrats on major issues of governance. >> yeah, what the priority is and the desire is and what the reality is can smack you pretty hard in the face when

you're heading to capitol hill for this new congress. good to see you, charlie. thank you so much. john. all right. this morning, bloodshot eyes and history in detroit. the detroit lions have been playing football for forever. overnight, for the very first time, they locked up the number one seed in the nfc heading into the playoffs. again, for the first time. cnn's coy wire has all the action. >> 272 games were played until the 2024 season. it took every one of them to decide which team would take the number one seed in the nfc headed into the playoffs. the finale between the lions and vikings in detroit started as a defensive slugfest. 10- 9 midway through the third. then the lions' jameer gibbs scored three touchdowns in the second half and a franchise record-tying four tds on the night. aaron glen's defense keeping minnesota's top five passing offense out of the end zone, as detroit rolls 31- 9 in the

win. back-to- back nfc north titles. a first round playoff bye. home field advantage throughout. stop what you're doing and watch this. chicago fooled the state of wisconsin and the green bay packers. made it look as if the guy on the bottom of the screen was fielding a punt. it's a stealthy blackwell who fielded the ball. the punt team can't see where it is going. they look for the returner. it's a 94 yard punt return for a touchdown. and the final play of their season, the bears would beat their long- time foes for the first time in six years. game- winning field goal for a 24-22 win. here's a look at the playoff matchups. the chargers and texans get wild card weekend started on saturday, followed by steelers/ravens. a triple- header on sunday with the bills hosting the broncos. the packers taking on the eagles in philly. the commanders going to tampa to face the bucs. the action wraps up monday

night with the vikings flying west to play the rams. now, the patriots, they were all set to land the number one overall pick in the next nfl draft after an abysmal season. sorry, john berman. but they beat their division rivals, buffalo, who sat a lot of their starters, losing the top pick. afterwards, new england firing head coach mayo after just one season. now, the four- win titans secure the number one overall pick. there will likely be more coach firings in the coming hours, as today in the nfl is known as black monday. >> i don't know why coy wire apologized to our john berman. this he has won more freaking football championships than any of us here. but anyway, he's yelling back there. georgia is bidding a final farewell to its native son. in the next 24 hours, former president jimmy carter's body will be taken from his home state to the nation's capitol, where he will lie in

state there. an emotional wins, history- making firsts, and wicked snubs at the golden globes. host and comedian nikki glaser roasted hollywood's finest. >> welcome to the 82nd golden globes. ozempic's biggest night. the bear, the penguin, baby reindeer, these are not just things found in rfk's freezer. these are tv shows nominated tonight.

today marks the final day former president jimmy carter will lie in repose at his presidential library. over the weekend, crowds of people paid their respects to the 39th president before his body travels to washington ahead of a state travel. we go to the carter center this morning. what have you been seeing and hearing from people as they come to pay their respects? >> reporter: good morning to you, sara. it's slowed down a bit as it is raining here in atlanta, but people are still saying their final good-byes. president carter, of course, so intimately connected to the city of atlanta. it is home of the carter center. but this is also the city

where he served as governor before he ultimately ascended to the presidency. and post presidency, of course, he spent a lot of time in atlanta, out and about in the community, attending his beloved atlanta braves' games. ns got to know him well in that capacity. now, it was much different in his small hometown of plains, where we have been the last several days. much different than here in atlanta. but, of course, his legacy looms so large in his hometown. we were at the church, and it has the first female pastor. president carter broke with southern baptists over the issue of women being able to ascend to leadership positions in the church. take a listen to how the pastor is thinking about jimmy carter's life and legacy. >> in this country, where

to speak bluntly, we still live in a patriarchial nation. we still live in a place where white men are often -- their voices are often elevated and listened to and believed more strongly than a woman, and so to have a president of the united states who realized within his lifetime the importance of speaking out to the harm that's been done, i am just incredibly grateful for the legacy and the work that we have to continue to do. women are still not equal. we have a long way to go. but his voice was one of power that was used for good. >> reporter: sara, when you hear stories like this one, it really puts it into context, right? we talk about his remarkable legacy as a humanitarian or even the work that he did at the carter center in terms of

protecting democracy or preventing disease. but when you hear about this one pastor in his small hometown of plains, of a few hundred people that is able to be in that position now, because of his own advocacy, i think it really speaks volumes. so people will be able to pay their respects up until 6:00 a.m. here tomorrow. there will be another ceremony in the 9:00 a.m. hour tomorrow, here in atlanta, before ultimately president carter's remains move to washington, d.c. , and then to plains, his final resting place on thursday. sara. >> you talk about that pastor, and then you have the thousands of people who have homes because of habitat for humanity, which he created. he has an incredible legacy. thank you so much for that reporting. a strike by ski patrol at one of north america's largest ski resorts has shut down the majority of the park city's

" "wicked" got a little something, maybe not the top prize it was hoping for. this morning, host nick see key nikki glaser is getting pretty good reviews, which is something after the post hosts. >> welcome to the 82nd golden globes, ozempic's biggest night. the bear, the penguin, baby reindeer, these are not just things found in rfk's freezer. these are tv shows nominated tonight. and challengers, girl, oh, my god, it was so good. that was more sexually charged than diddy's credit card,

seriously. >> all right. let's get right to cnn's elizabeth wagmeister. more laughs than cringes, which at the golden globes is a victory. you had a chance to talk to her. >> i did, yes. nikki glaser killed it. i not only sat down with her days before the show, john, where she told me that she was just going to lightly roast the stars but not make them cringe or sweat. she delivered on that. but i also was in the room last night for the show. i have to tell you, the room loved her. as you said, the reviews for her are great. she told me before the globes that she hopes to return. she would love to host again and again. i could see that happening. we'll wait to see next year. but she wasn't the only big winner of the night, john. of course, there were big winners for both film and tv. on the film side, "amelia perez" and "the brutalist" were the
