but first, maggie vespa is in snowy green bay, wisconsin, for us. hey, maggie. good morning. >> reporter: hey, hoda, savannah, good morning. as you can see, the snow is already starting to fall overnight, the wind picking up at times as well. that was a plow in the back ground. they're used to this. they're already out here on the roads. this system is widespread. severe warnings in colorado, iowa, nebraska and farther east, where the snow hasn't even begun to fall, states are on high alert after getting a preview of this storm's strength back out west. >> reporter: from blinding snow in the plains and midwest to a powerful tornado sweeping through the south, this morning winter weather is pummelling the nation. in colorado, a stunning 21-vehicle pileup after a semi truck jackknifed on an icy i-70 near aurora. among the wreckage, two people hurt. their injuries minor. stranded drivers forced to hunker down. >> we're all in limbo. these trucks out here, they have nowhere to go. >> we're going to camp out in denver.

we can't go forward. we're not going to move forward. >> reporter: at denver airport, a rush to de-ice planes with more than half of all flights delayed wednesday. farther west, an avalanche knocking out power to a town, that snow and debris 20 feet deep. cars slipping and sliding and snowplows in the storm's path struggling to keep up with the lines of cars stuck on roads as two feet of snow fell in nebraska paralyzing highways. from the central plains to new england, 31 million americans are waking up under winter weather alerts this morning with 5 million at risk for severe storms in ohio. that risk coming to fruition in an already tornado-battered south. the national weather service confirming an ef-1 twister touched down in waldo, arkansas, wednesday, packing 100 mile-an-hour winds. this morning, states farther east on high alert, fearing the stunning scenes out west are a preview of what's headed their

way. and speaking of out west, some might wonder if it is worth talking about snow in colorado, especially during january. the climate unit telling us that denver storms clocked out at 9.2 inches of snow. that is the biggest january storm in more than 30 years. since 1992. that's where the country gets more snow in march and april. another time of the storm. hoda, savannah? >> maggie, thank you. let's bring in al who has his eye on the storm, head of the climate unit here at nbc. >> thanks, guys. we are look at winter storm advisories, winter storm alerts and even some winter storm watches for 31 million people especially around the great lakes into the northeast as well. you can see this storm system now pushing in, bringing rain to the south, but snow around the great lakes. as the system moves east, rain, snow, and sleet develop into the northeast, and staying away from the i-95 corridor, but north and

west of that, damaging winds, possible tornadoes down through ohio, where we have a risk for that kind of activity. tomorrow the upper low will swing eastward and take out the colder air, but the accumulating snow, good news, it starts to die down as you get into new england. for friday, one to three inches in minneapolis. marquette, 8-12. alpena, 4-8 inches of snow. in the northeast, burlington, vermont, maybe four to eight. portland, six to eight. albany, one 20 two inches. higher rainfall amounts along the coast. guys? >> al, thank you so much. we'll check back with you. calls are growing louder for freshman congressman george santos to resign after the republican from new york admitted he embellished parts of his resume, and this morning, there are more potential lies about his past emerging. garrett haake has the latest. garrett, good morning. >> hoda, good morning to you. it seems like every day, we're learning something else about george santos's life that simply

isn't true. now he is being accused of stealing funds from a homeless veteran's dying dog and lying about his mother being a 9/11 survivor. the lies reaching such a boiling point that one fellow new york lawmaker has called for his passport to be revoked deeming santos a flight risk this. >> reporter: this morning, embattled new york congressman george santos caught in another lie. the freshman republican claiming on his campaign website that his mother survived the tragic events of september 11th from her office in the world trade center's south tower. even making her 9/11 story part of his campaign stump speech. >> i am a, you know, son of immigrants, the grandchild of holocaust survivors, and the son of a 9/11 survivor. >> reporter: immigration records provided to nbc news by a genealogical researcher shows that santos' mother, left the united states for brazil in 1999 and did not return until 2003. placing her more than 4,000 miles from ground zero on the day of the attack.

that revelation coming on the same day a disabled navy veteran accused santos of walking away with $3,000 in gofundme cash, raised to pay for life-saving surgery for his service dog sapphire. >> he was almost too nice. i knew there was something up with him. >> reporter: richard said he was connected with santos' charity friends of pets united in 2017 to help raise money for an operation he could not afford. when it came time for the surgery, he says, santos refused to hand over the money and he was forced to put sapphire down. >> i was so livid that this man is now a serving congressman. he doesn't deserve that job. it's horrendous that he could lie and steal and cheat his way through life. >> reporter: santos has not responded to questions from nbc news about either allegation. but he did tell the website

senafor, that the story was "fake." >> there are two allegations and many against santos, are any of these things moving needle as to where he stands in washington right now? >> let's go through it. caught lying about his religion and admitted lying about his job experience and about attending college. he told multiple different stories about how and when his mother died. and he is under investigation by at least five different entities that we know of, including investigations into how he funded his campaign. and that might be the biggest political danger to him. an indictment in the u.s. would likely force republicans to remove santos from his committee assignments at the very least. assignments he only received this week. hoda? >> garrett haake for us there in washington, thank you. now we head to the high stakes showdown over the debt ceiling of the government on the brink again of hitting its borrowing limit. it's prompting the treasury department to begin using, quote, extraordinary measures to continue paying the nation's bills. in the meantime, the republicans are demanding spending cuts before any deal can be reached. and of course, this all impacts you and your wallet.

here to walk us through it is brian chung, nbc's business reporter. brian, good morning. stop me if you've seen this movie before. let's go back to basics though. the debt ceiling, this is not about new spending. we're not writing a blank check here, to do a bunch of new spending. this is about spending that both parties have already done, and now it's time to pay the bills. >> yes, so important to make the distinction there, savannah, and good morning as well, hoda when we talk about the debt limit, what we are talking about is spending already done imagine you have spent a $1,000 on the credit card and authorized to use $800 to pay off that bill, how do you plug the gap? that's what the debt limit is all about. and the estimate is that today, we hit the limit for how much we can use. >> it is like your credit limit. >> like your credit limit. >> and you need to increase it. >> and the limit it is reached today and there are extraordinary measures to hobble the next few months and the estimates to get us through june. >> that is kind of like, they're just doing, moving money around to basically i'll pay this bill but not that bill.

>> one hand to the other >> for a few more months but what happens the chickens come home to roost in june, right and that's when it is do or die time, you either raise the debt ceiling or what? catastrophe? lay it out for us. >> that's the words that we've heard from those inside the treasury it would be a full-out catastrophe. but really what we're talking about here is just the consequences of potentially a lot of these social programs going bust because if the government cannot pay its bills on its government debt which is the u.s. treasury they will have to start making cuts in social security and not be able to make medicare payments and veterans payments and food stamp payments and catastrophic and also for the financial markets, as well the u.s. government is widely regarded as the best and safest thing to have your in your wallet type of thing, but if that all evaporates that leads to catastrophe but it is important to know that it hasn't happened since 1960, 78 times the government has moved to raise the debt ceiling. congress, we hope, will do the same. >> and everybody shrugs it off a little bit they always get it

is there any cost to the economy and the american consumer when you just have the threat of the debt limit not being raised? looming over us for a few months >> certainly, i mean, the stock market looks very close, in washington, d.c., to see whether or not this is going to get done or not it is mostly the case that it gets done. but 401(k)s are very much hinging on what is going to happen over the next few months. and people said, this is a little bit of a crazy dance that happens over and over and over again and proposals to make a permanent solution, like an automatic system that would just raise the debt limit and maybe you take the debate over spending to the spending bill as opposed to the debt limit and minting a $1 trillion coin, we won't get into the nuances of that these are different types of suggestions that maybe the debt limit exercise is something that is a bit separate from the spending bills, which maybe that's where the conversation should go. >> fight over what you should spend or wherever you can afford to cut taxes, that's not this argument >> the credit card >> brian, thank you so much.

breaking overnight, a surprise resignation and it's making worldwide headlines jacinda ardern made history when she became the prime minister of new zealand at the age of 37 but after holding the position for more than five years she now says it is her time to step down nbc's kelly cobiella has the story. good morning. >> surprising end, an emotional end from jacinda ardern overnight, she said she has given all she can for as long as she can. >> reporter: choking back tears, jacinda ardern said she is stepping down. >> i will not be seeking re-election. and in my term as prime minister, will conclude my time. i know what this job takes, and i know that i no longer have enough in the tank to do it justice. >> reporter: ardern was the world's youngest head of government at age 37 when she was elected in 2017 and only the second world leader to give

>> a lot of people will be wondering, are you two meeting just because, you know, you're similar in age, and you know, got a lot of, you know, common - >> because two women meet, it is not simply because of the gender >> reporter: ardern says she is looking forward to taking her daughter to school and finally marrying her partner as for a legacy -- >> i hope in return i leav behind a belief that you can be kind but strong. empathetic but decisive. that you can be your own kind of leader one that knows when it is time to go. >> wow well, kelly, she has obviously been admired worldwide throughout her political career but i was reading she was facing a bit of a decline in her popularity in new zealand. >> yes, hoda, she and her party won a landslide victory back in 2020 based on her response to the covid pandemic, and in the last few months, she has seen a rapid decline in her popularity and she and her party are in the

30s if not below, and that is because of concerns over the economy, concerns over crime, the cost of living, and she said that she told the bbc last year, that that is sort of the price that she and her party paid for keeping people safe from covid-19, and she said overnight, poll numbers are not the reason she is stepping down. she said she still believes her party can win in the fall. they simply need a fresh set of shoulders to carry them there. hoda >> she had a special touch kelly, thank you. we've got more to get to craig joins us good news about damar hamlin. >> savannah, hoda, good morning, always great to start with positive news. while damar hamlin continues to recover from the absolutely frightening collapse on the field, hamlin's coach says he has been spending time at the bills facility as the team gets ready for a rematch with the bengals in the second round of the nfl playoffs this weekend. emilie ikeda has more. >> good morning, the bills have a lot to celebrate this week

seen along community streets and in hamlin's social media posts, as the football star's stunning comeback continues >> it is awesome to see his face awesome to see him smiling again. >> the guy is in great spirits and that also helps with the recovery process for all of us as well. >> seeing him come back from that is a blessing from god. >> reporter: that blessing ahead of the bill's biggest matchup of the season >> buffalo bills take the field. >> reporter: hamlin's cardiac arrest on january 2nd rocked the football world, and beyond prompting the cancellation of the bills/bengals game in cincinnati >> this is the last thing you >> both teams now set to face off for the first time since the daunting day and even with the shot at the conference championship on the line, there's one player everyone is rooting for. >> to see damar, you know, getting healthier as time passes, and to see where it's ended up, i think there is always going to be a strong connection between the two organizations and that's a good thing. >> hamlin cheered on the bills from his home last weekend

we're back 7:30 thursday morning the 19th of january. a cold january morning so bonus points for everybody who came out on our plaza. we will hang on that shot one more second because we get it, you're all here. the headlines 7:30 on this thursday morning. ukrainian officials are still trying to figure out what caused a government helicopter to go down yesterday killing 14 people, including ukraine's interior minister and his top aide part of the aircraft slammed into a kindergarten. investigators are not ruling out anything, including pilot error,

technical malfunction, or a deliberate act president zelenskyy told world leaders at the world economic forum in davos that whatever the cause, because of the war, russia ultimately bears responsibility. the search is on this morning for five inmates who escaped from jail in farmington, missouri, on tuesday officials say the inmates got through the jail's rooftop by crawling through the vents and the pipes. later there was surveillance video that showed the men running in a gated area. then they stole a car from the jail's parking lot and drove off. all of the inmates were being held on felony warrants. authorities say anybody who spots any of these five fugitives should not approach them but instead should call 911. some bank of america customers woke up yesterday to find out there was money missing from their accounts. people flooded social media with complaints it turns out those who were impacted were customers who recently used the payment transfer service zelle bank of america issued a statement later in the day apologizing for the inconvenience and the bank says as of late afternoon, all of the

issues have been resolved. let's turn now to the latest developments in the idaho college murders. >> with a suspect being held without bail there are new court documents and they're revealing more about a still unfolding investigation. nbc's erin mclaughlin has more good morning. >> good morning, guys, we're learning new details about the case authorities are building against bryan kohberger. court documents outline the list of potential evidence recovered from the 28-year-old's apartment, searched more than six weeks after the murders. >> reporter: newly released court documents reveal the items seized from suspect bryan kohberger's washington state apartment. as authorities continue to search for a possible motive in murder weapon in the killing of university of idaho students, xana kernodle, ethan chapin, kaylee goncalves, and madison mogen, in the early morning hours of november 13th according to the document, the day of his arrest at his

family's home in pennsylvania, authorities were thousands of miles away, scouring the criminology student's apartment, combing for digital clues and dna evidence that search yielding a laundry list of items. including the chemical resistant black gloves, multiple hair strands including possible animal hair, cuttings from a pillow of a reddish brown stain and a dark red spot. they also seized electronics the potential evidence as kohberger's legal team is shaping his defense, after they asked to push his next preliminary hearing to june. kohberger has yet to enter a formal plea but tells his lawyer he believes he will be exonerated >> the defense is likely to start attacking all of those individual strands of evidence >> reporter: in the newly unsealed documents, prosecutors arguing it is probably that bryan kohberger went home after the murders knowing that the murder scene contained a

significant amount of blood from the victims, adding it is likely that he still had blood or other trace evidence on his person also noting that kaylee goncalves owned a dog which may explain why they were looking for animal hair in his apartment. according to the documents, authorities also applied to search his office at washington state university, he was a teaching assistant and pursuing his ph.d. in criminology. no items were listed as recovered from that scene. families are waiting months more for the next day in court. >> what we can focus on is this individual and finding every piece of evidence. it all has to come out it all has to be clear. >> these latest court documents potentially add to evidence investigators have already laid out, and in a previous charging document, they said they recovered dna at the scene that they had matched to kohberger, and video surveillance allegedly showing his hyundai elantra in the area that night. savannah >> erin, thank you you. joining us is senior legal correspondent laura jarrett. >> what is jumping out to you?

new evidence that they found in the case what you are keeping your eye on here >> a couple of things. number one is the digital tower. we all leave a digital footprint in this day and age. investigators want to comb through that, i'm sure they have by now, and they want to figure out what if any planning took place here because remember, for lawyers, prosecutors, the key is can they show intent and key for first-degree murder one of the charges he is facing the computer tower would be a particular area of interest. the other thing is this piece of possible animal hair why is that interesting? because we know one of the victims shared a dog with the boyfriend, we know that the dog was at the scene of the crime. if they can connect the animal hair to his home, where they executed the search warrant, that could be key. and the last and final one is the possible bloodstain that they found on the mattress covers, on the pillow cases. they want to know what if anything again is there, and we do not know the results of any of this, i should say, we know that they found it, but we do not know that this is actually

connected. >> it is interesting, too, because the search takes play december 30th, six weeks after the murders. i think around the same day that his arrest was conducted this is a criminology student, presumably he knows something about cleaning up after his tracks if he really is the suspect here >> and that is what you're going to hear prosecutors try to harp on that, and the thing is they're going to try to say, don't worry about the fact that we haven't found the murder weapon, right? that's the other missing thing here is they have the knife sheath which they believe was used, they have a piece of dna on it, but they don't actually have the knife the knife is obviously the thing that could link him if they could find it but it could be anywhere between washington and pennsylvania for all we know. >> is there any connection between him and the victims that police have been able to find? >> that's one of the huge things, one of the unanswered questions, one that is pressing for reporters to be reporting on and why the computer tower could be key because we need to understand, were they targeted, had he tried outreach and made some sort of overtures to them beforehand, and that is one of

the missing puzzle pieces we're still looking for. >> thank you >> craig, over to you. still ahead this morning, a story you really need to see if you're one of the folks struggling to land a job interview, exposing a glitch in the hiring process, causing millions of qualified candidates to be overlooked we will explain, and we will also show you what is being done to fix that problem. first though, fans from around the world are gathering at graceland for a final goodbye to lisa marie presley. we're there live this morning with an inside look at the tributes that are being planned. we'll do that right after this m. i'm so glad we did this. i'm so glad we did this. life is for living. let's partner for all of it. i'm so glad we did this. edward jones trelegy for copd. ♪birds flyin' high, you know how i feel.♪ ♪breeze driftin' on by...♪ ♪...you know how i feel.♪ you don't have to take...

breaking news. just moments ago the new mexico district attorney released a statement announcing it will file involuntary manslaughter charges against actor alec baldwin over the 2021 fatal film set shooting of cinematographer halyna hutchins. baldwin was holding the prop gun on the new mexico set of the western titled "rust" when the gun went off killing hutchins. miguel almaguer is covering the story from new mexico. what more can you tell us, miguel? >> reporter: lester, this decision a long time in the making. the sheriff's office reviewing and investigating the case over a year. and the d.a. office looking at that investigation over three months before officially making their decision today. as you know, alec baldwin will face involuntary manslaughter charges, and hannah gutierrez reid the prop worker in charge.

handed that gun yelled out safe to use struck a deal. a big investigation that's taken several agencies months to figure out. body camera footage was sorted through, texts, phone calls emails sorted through. the fbi ran ballistics test on the weapon used in the shooting. involving several agencies. this decision has been a long time coming and now we know alec baldwin and the problem master hannah gutierrez reid facing involuntary manslaughter charges. and danny, our legal analyst, what is the bar here for involuntary manslaughter. >> several different ways to get to conviction under involuntary manslaughter conviction in new mexico. only two could possibly apply to baldwin. one, a lawful act, this was, using a gun on a film set, done

in a criminally negligent manner. a bit of a misnomer, it means recklessness, conscious disregard of a known risk and other use of a firearm in a nearly negligent manner meaning fell below applicable standards. believe me, a ballots of the experts. stunt experts, armor experts. movie set experts. you're going to have all kinds of firearm experts as well. so that may be the option that the state uses because that negligence, mere negligence standard is so light. but as much as i believe that baldwin would be charged, i think it's a misstep for the state to charge him, because all of these statutes deal with a weapon that someone knows to be a weapon. as far as baldwin knew he was handling a block of wood or a piece of plastic. he was assured by other people, this is not a conventional gun. this may be one of the few cases in history of firearms cases where you could reasonably say

somebody looking at something that looked exactly like a gun could reasonably it wasn't a gun. so i think it's very difficult to the state to get to beyond a reasonable doubt and i anticipate this may result in an acquittal for baldwin. >> danny, ask you to stand by while i turn to nbc news senior legal correspondent laura jarrett. intent, does that come into play? >> reporter: yeah. a big question, danny pointed out. this will come to a battle of the experts, and, remember, all along baldwin has said i didn't even pull the trigger. his defense here hasn't been that he, he didn't know what was going on. his defense, this is not on me. he said he pulled back the hammer but didn't actually pull the trigger. now, prosecutors will push back on that obviously at work over a year since the crime took place and relied on a very thorough investigation from the local sheriff down there. obviously spent a lot of time investigaing all the facts they'll put together to figure

how to present this to a jury. what comes next? interesting to see a first appearance from baldwin. what, if anything, he says there. he's not under obligates to say anything. not under obligation to make a plea but maintains innocence all along. center will surprise he is facing this level of charges. a felony, including a firearms enhancement, requiring a mandatory five-year sentence as the prosecutor laid out here. >> and miguel almaguer standing by. it what do these charges bring in terms of potential sentence and when will they formally be filed? >> reporter: we know the d.a. says alec baldwin could face up to 18 months in prison and also a $5,000 fine. officials and some experts believe likely get probation but certainly faces serious jail time. also expect those charges to officially be charged in the coming days, and, lester, a key point not yet answered was, how

live ammunition ended up on that movie set in the first place. a major question during the process of this investigation. we still don't know the answer to that question, though we do obviously know that live ammunition ended up on a movie set when it should have never been there, lester. >> probably not as important a question, a point of curiosity. will they resume filming of the movie? >> reporter: yeah, lester. ate this point, told that as of this month the movie is set to continue to resume with alec baldwin in it. halyna hutchins, the director killed, is now an executive producer on that film. from all of our understanding the movie will continue. they plan to shoot that movie and wrap it and finish it sometime this year, lester. >> miguel almaguer in new mexico. thank you. that concludes our special report. much more on "nbc news daily" and on "nightly news." i'm lester holt. thank you for joining us. good day.

the last episode drop and ever since, fans have been waiting patiently on what is expected to be the show's final season which i'm not sure why >> why >> come on. >> so good apple announced yesterday it is set to return in the spring. we don't have any details. we don't know the premiere date. we don't know anything all we know is they did just put up the first new image of the new season which shows that, you might recall that rising tension with coach lasso and nick. no spoilers but things didn't exactly end on a high note for those two. looking forward to seeing more from the whole group >> that is one you want to milk for a long time. >> not cut it short. next up, kevin costner, around here, mr. john dutton, yesterday, the "yellowstone" actor celebrated his 68th birthday and he took to social media to share some words about aging don't. writing in the post, believe what they say about getting older.

companies across the country, many saying they cannot find enough qualified people to find -- fill job openings >> jacob looked into the job hiring system and found out that companies are missing out on literally millions of talented americans. good morning >> good morning. it is incredible just how many people are being left out i mean, this is supposed to be a moment when retirement and full innovation economy, should make it easier to find a career but for so many people in america there is a big invisible system standing in the way. >> reporter: it is called the paper ceiling. holding down millions of americans who have the skills for tech jobs but not the diploma. and that's because automated screening systems often filter out candidates who lack a college degree >> airport, concierge, security guard. >> reporter: it is not skills that held justice sanders back and it is certainly not the lack of grit. >> when i was doing these jobs, i was already doing something else i was reading my book. i was on coursera, doing online

courses. >> reporter: he couldn't afford college. and as he tried to find a way into the tech industry, he faced terrible choices >> in order to pay my bills, take care of my mother and also have the bandwidth to study -- >> you had to basically sacrifice rent in order to make that possible? >> exactly i did have to stay in my car for a little bit >> reporter: the world needs workers. even with recent headlines about big tech companies laying people off. >> there likely will be more layoffs across multiple industries. >> reporter: -- the world economic forum one out of three tech jobs are filled with someone with the right skills. and yet, because of degree requirements, millions of americans can't even get an interview. >> 50% of black americans, more than 60% of veterans, almost 70% of rural americans, are excluded. >> reporter: byron ogeese runs opportunity at work, a nonprofit that convinces tech companies to look for skills, not degrees >> you've got millions of people

and i know there are so many people who don't get chances like that. >> now, she leads a technology team, fighting to change hiring practices. >> at one point, i took my team's resumes and ran them through one these systems and came back saying, we wouldn't have interviewed anybody if we had used that system. >> nobody on your team would have been considered for a job. >> no. >> wow. >> i'm looking forward to it, sir. >> reporter: justice finally scored an internship with linkedin. >> i used some of that street resilience that i grew up with, combined it, and now we're here. >> two weeks before we sat down, he got a full time job there. >> let's just say the first time that i received my compensation, i was able to put a smile on my granny and mom's face. >> okay. that story is so enlightening. so if companies are not getting good candidates, why are they using this filtering system in the first place? >> i mean, i think it comes down to cost, right we've been taught over the years that somehow technology is going to be able to replace these sort of difficult human jobs and recruiting, if anyone has tried to do it, has found, it is a difficult thing to do. here is the thing. it turns out there are some reasons to continue using human,

right? to use new systems, that are not necessarily big tech and let's say i was just on the subway in san francisco the other day and a woman comes up to me and says i think i know you, that is justice sanders' you, that is justice mom. and just the love coming off this woman, the incredible excitement of pride she has in her son for doing this thing, you just remember, right, okay, there are some big situations in this world where we don't know the solution and this is a pretty easy fix. >> the grit, the ingenuity, the resourcefulness of candidate, who needs a college degree? college will never teach what some of these candidates have. >> these are all qualities that we say we want >> i challenge you to let google, with very successful people and find out how many people don't have a college degree and the number is unbelievable. >> if you stop that degree requirement, it excludes a huge segment of americans and turns out to be some of the most hard working grittiest of workers
