"nbc news daily" starts right now. ♪ today tuesday, january 21,

2025. off and running. president trump is making quick work of his first full day in the oval office. we'll walk you through the major moves he has made. fire and ice o dangerous winds spark new wildfires in southern california as a bitter arctic blast grips much of the kareem. we are tracking the threats from coast to coast. hot off the press. prince harry's high stakes trial against the british tabloids hits a snag. why it could be over before it gets started. buckeye blitz. the ohio state takes down notre dame to win the college football national championship. how the buckeyes are celebrating their first title in more than a decade. thank you for being with us. we hope you had a restful mlk and inauguration day. we begin with the first full day of the second trump administration with the president already busy at work. he assigned dozens of executive orders and actions since returning to the oval office. here are just a few.

pardoning and commuting the sentences of 1,500 people charged in connection to the january 6th attack on the capitol. ordering the federal government to recognize two genders, male and female, asking the justice department not to enforce a ban on tiktok for 75 days, and declaring a national energy emergency to boost fossil fuel production. he fired the head of the coast guard, linda fagan. the first known senior military officer to be let go joining us nbc news senior white house correspondent garrett haake from outside the white house. garrett, let's start with january 6th. the first defendants have been released if jail. the pardons also cover people who were charged with violent crimes. that's despite prior push back from his own party on that. president trump. help us understand how significant that move is. >> reporter: the trump white house feels like it was a promise made and kept to go big on pardons for folks involved in the january 6th riot. there has been swift

condemnation from democrats, capitol police officers involved in defending the capitol that day and testifying afterwards. even from some congressional republicans like maine sneer susan collins, who in a statement lumped these pardons from president trump and president den's 11th hour pardons of family members together in one statement, calling it a terrible week for the department of justice. but the trump team feels this is something they previewed during the campaign. people shouldn't be surprised by it and they think the reaction and the rest of the country will be muted compared to here in washington where january 6th is still much more of an active presence in people's thinking about the city than it is in the rest of the country. >> and garrett, we know the president also took several executive actions on health, energy and climate. which one stood out to you. >> reporter: more than 30 executive orders all told with lots still to parse through here. the president's actions on the border could be some of the most far reaching here, mass

deportations, returning the remain in mexico policy in place, canceling the cbp app, people applying for asylum into the country. we don't know how far reaching his emergency actions on energy will be. the u.s. already producing more oil and gas than any nation at any time in history. still donald trump says numbers can be juiced still further. and then a little bit of a remaking of the federal government and how it does it's work, ordering federal workers back in the office full time, a hiring freeze in place, changing how federal employees have to refer to themselves inside the system by recognizing only two genders, male and female going forward. zinhle. >> a lot of changes. garrett haake, thank you. we know president trump ran in part on making major changes to america's immigration system and he is wasting no time on that front. here is some of what he did in the past 24 hours. he issued an executive order ending birthright citizenship and declared a national emergency at the border. he also designated cartels and

migrant gangs and foreign terrorist organizations. president trump is halting refugee admissions into the country and restricting funding for sanctuary cities. nbc news homeland security correspondent julia ainsley. another major change the administration made in the first hours was shutting down the cbp one app. that was a tool for people to apply to legally enter the country. now we have seep some video of folks completely distraught finding out their appointments are now canceled. talk to us about the impact these executive actions are having on the ground. >> reporter: yeah, zinhle, you can see the anguish there playing out at the border because for these people they followed the legal pathway. this is the one door that biden left open at the border for people to be able to schedule appointments to come across the southern border and claim asylum. so when that appointment gets canceled, they feel they have no other route. now, what could happen is

cartels could advertise and say, look, the way to get in now is to be smuggled in. you tried the legal way. you were shut down. i know a lot of people are worried about that ramification. there is also label challenges. it could be that there is some way later for people to claim asylum. the aclu and other immigrant rights groups filed for an emergency hearing in federal court in d.c. to say to a judge look at this now because there is no way for people to claim asylum here and they argue that's an international obligation that u.s. has to uphold. >> and we know president trump also promised to carry out mass deportations in his first days in office. when might those begin? >> reporter: that's a good question, zinhle. i just talked to thomas homan, the appointed border zarelli. there were some plans to start that as early as inauguration day. we saw other plans that started at 3:00 a.m. today. so far no news of any major operation out of the norm.

he has put more resources, manpower towards to arrest people and do deportations. but it's not clear they will deviate from normal operations and try to change targets that would have otherwise not been there. >> and julia, we also saw action on immigration by the senate in the first day of president trump's term. they passed the laken riley act named after a woman who was murdered by an undocumented immigrant from venezuela. what exactly does that bill do? >> reporter: well, basically says i.c.e. has to detain everyone, which is what people call an unfunded mandate. says they can't let immigrants on to the streets. that really could actually end up being a huge challenge for trump if he tries to increase deportations and tries to arrest more people with criminal backgrounds, suddenly everyone undocumented has to be detained, could run out of space very quickly. >> julia ainsley with the latest. thank you. and we are tracking two big

weather stories this hour. both with serious consequences. in the south millions are people are experiencing something they rarely see and that's snow. parts of florida, louisiana and texas are facing their first blizzard warnings ever. on the west coast coast, windy and dry conditions sparked small fires in southern california. they are still reeling from the devastating wildfires. let's start with dana griffin in los angeles. dana, what can you tell us about these new fires and what conditions are like just across the region there? >> yeah, zinhle, conditions are improving, but there is still a concern out there. so these two new fires popped up overnight in san diego and that's when a lot of people are sleeping. so, obviously, a concern because some of those evacuation orders had to be issued overnight. you are seeing video of the two fires that were burning. so luckily crews attacked these fires from the air, putting out

the fire. it is now 100% contained much they say they have stopped forward progression on the lilac fire. that's the one that has burned some 80 acres, and we are told that some 1,500 people have been affected by the evacuation orders. now, this is, obviously, very concerning because of the deadly fires that have been burning the last would weeks. we just had the red flag warning that expired. a lot of people are on edge. because that red flag warning has expired, there is still a fire weather watch through thursday just because of the dry conditions and the wind gusts that are going to be a little less impactful as what we've seen over the last couple of weeks. obviously, very concerning situation here in southern california. >> yeah, absolutel so, bill, let's turn to you now. how long is this fire danger going to stick around and what else are you tracking across the country? >> zinhle, look like on friday we get that onshore flow and that will knock down the fire threat.

we immediate made it through la. we have gusts around 56 miles per hour in the higher elevations coming through some of the canyons. throughout this evening we expect the winds to kai off. 25 to 45-mile-per-hour range. that's why our santa ana wind threat and fire threat is lower. tomorrow night into thursday morning we expect once again 40 to 70-mile-per-hour gusts. that's the next chance of critical fire weather conditions, tomorrow in the mountains and sections away from the big cities. as far as the snow goes, this is an incredible day with houston getting 4 inches. new orleans you are probably close to 6 inches. last report in the french quarter 4 inches. once in a generation, some cases once in a lifetime stuff. all of the blue shows snow here. now it's snowing hard in areas of western florida. florida is going to break their all-time state record today. only 4 inches. someone will get 6 to 8 by the time it's done. the state kal of tallahassee expecting 3 to 5 inches.

would double the most ever in their city's history. zinhle, pretty historic stuff in the south. the snow, you know, in florida is almost like the equivalent of being in los angeles. it just doesn't happen. >> bill karins, thank you. let's head to today's cnbc money minute. the fda improved a treatment for depression and hands free software under investigation. hi, angelica. >> hey, potential new hope for people with treatment resistant depression. a nasal spray was approved as the first stand alone therapy for the disease. it's related to ketamine and each use is monitored by a health care professional. treatment resistant depression is patients who don't respond to two other treatments. safety regulators are upgrading a probe into ford's hands free driving technology in 129,000 vehicles. it was launched last year after it received notices of two fatal

crashes involving the mustang with blue cruise. the upgrade is the last step before a recall can be issued. and wine sales continue to shifl up. according to industry group data, sales fell about 6% from 2023 to 2024. experts say shifting demographics and economic factors such as inflation are behind the deklain. it's not just wine. champagne makers said shipments were down nearly 10% last year. zinhle. >> wow. are you more on team bubbly or wine? >> i'm team bub little. i am in the minority here. what about you? >> i am a liquor girl. we keep it pg over here. it's dry january. stick being water. thank you. and up ahead, a mother and her 6-month-old baby are safe after their car careens into an icy pond. the escue coming up. plus, the actions the white house is taking that it says y l bring down the pricesou pay every day. you're watching "nbc news daily." from allergies? new claritin liquid provides powerful,

here. what is he accused of and what is asap rocky saying? >> he is accused of threatening a friend of his by the name of asap rally in november of 2021, threatening to kill him, pointing a gun at him and firing three to four rounds, one of those bullets allegedly grazed his friend's hand. they had been, you know, professional partners together. they were in the same group together that is -- the reason it's called asap rocky and asap rally, the group always strive and prosper. this is a group of guys that came together that had, you though, similar musical interests and creative ambitions and sadly they both fell out. but asap rocky is claiming that he never fired the gun and that that's not him in the video. there is surveillance footage from that night. police never found the shell casings. asap rally actually brought those into the police station, you know, the following tay or a few days later. look, a jury had have to decide if asap rocky was the one who ho

fired the gun that night. these are very serious charges. there are going to be cameras throughout the three-week trial in the courtroom so people can watch it all over the world. like you said, he faces decades in prison, 24 years. he has a lot of projects. he is known for music, fashion. he is the co-chair of the met gala this spring. he has a movie coming out with denzel washington. he has two little babies, two sons at home with his long time partner rihanna. so unclear which way this will go, if he will take the stand to testify, will rihahanna be ther? we heard she won't be there because she doesn't swant to distract from everything. you might see her depending how things are going. this is just one of those situations where you have a very, very high-powered celebrity who is going to be in the courtroom and all eyes will be on him the next couple of weeks. >> yeah, you will stay on it the

chloe millas, thank you. >> thank you. as president trump marks his first full day in the white house he is looking at a different economy than when he left office four years ago and he is already acting on some economic promises. president trump officially signed an order creating the department of government efficiency and is ordering all federal agencies to consider how they will cut costs. he is also calling for more drilling in alaska in an effort to boost energy production and bring down gas and grocery prices. joining us nbc news s seor business correspondent christine romans. how does president trump's economic situation this time ompared to the one in his first term. >> day one and he has been here before. the end of the first term inflation was 1.4%, zinhle. the economy was a huge, biggest in the world $22 trillion. today you have inflation higher than that. one of the reasons why he was elected president. 2.9%. the economy bigger, $30 trillion.

that is a huge big growing economy. he has promised aggressive tariff tax cuts, deportations, deregulation. he didn't announce any tariffs yesterday. a framework that should come sometime down the road we are told. >> of course, a lot of the trump's election was the economy and what is -- what are the first 100 days set to look like? >> sure. we got a lot f indication of that yesterday. you know, emergency at the border, emergency for energy, a lot of energy unleashing energy resources, and then these are really the four cornerstones of what he promised for the next administration. what would that look like? let's talk about tariffs. aggressive tariffs that did not announce them yet, but that framework for tariffs for china, mexico and canada could lead to inflation. many economists say it could mean job cuts. there will be a tax policy fight that is coming up here. no question. it could raise the deficit many

economists say. it costs money to cut taxes and the middle class tax cuts from his 2017 tax law, those expire at the end of the year. deportations, housing market, construction market, a labor shorta, higher prices remains to be seen. deregulation. this is something that he did in the first term that, wow, the market likes, business likes. he is promising, zinhle, even a lot more of that here as we go forward. just quickly i want to show you something. step back, these are the big job cuts that happened because of covid. this is the job market recovering under joe biden. >> all right. chriinronsthk yoste ma, anu. up ahead, a deadly fire rips through a popular ski resort. t . but this... ...is a not flash. for moderate to severe vasomotor symptoms due to menopause... ...veozah is the first and only prescription treatment that directly blocks a source of hot flashes and night sweats. with 100% hormone-free veozah... ...you can have fewer hot flashes and more not flashes.

district of columbia and san francisco city and county, in filing suit against the trump administration. he says this is to protect the 20,000 babies to be born in california in the next year. and he also invoked his own mother. people like my own mom, who was born and raised in the philippines, who had me in the philippines and came here lawfully with me in tow at two months old, when she feared the rise of a dictator and martial law in her home country, which were both around the corner, who lived here legally with a green card for many years and eventually became a citizen so she could vote for me in her. in my first election. protesters in san jose gathered to decry those ten executive orders related to immigration. and while the president said there would be major immigration action in the country's largest cities, he did not say when. and my biggest fear is losing my parents. i can't imagine losing my parents.

it's difficult to even think about. i don't even want to think about it, because if i were to lose my parents due to deportation, my whole world would fall apart. the only way that we will collaborate with ice is if there's a criminal threat to our community, or if there's any type of criminal charges. but aside from that, we will not be cooperating wit ice. california senator alex padilla says that we can all agree that we need a secure and orderly border. however, these executive actions only further complicate that effort, and he goes on to say many of them violate the rights guaranteed by our constitution. so make no mistake, it won't be long before a policy of chaos costs the american people. attorney general bonta pointed out that ending birthright citizenship could deliver crippling costs to california, because without social security numbers, babies wouldn't be able to qualify for federal aid or insurance, health insurance, and later they wouldn't be able to work legally or vote. back to you. thank you. chris. the south bay is working to provide some relief for the

homeless. city of san jose and valley water leaders are at cherry avenue right now. together, they are breaking ground for the city's newest housing project. they are building an interim housing site for 136 homeless people. it's near sanchez drive, 85 and almaden expressway. san jose's mayor says the goal of this project is to help unhoused people living nearby. the first homeless neighbors to be offered housing at this site will be folks already encamped in the surrounding area. after offering housing to everyone in the area multiple times, we will decommission those encampments. mayor mehan says this year, the city will open an additional 1000 interim housing units for the homeless. lots of sunshine across the bay area today. here's meteorologist vianey arana with the details. after a cold start, we've got a lovely afternoon expected across the bay area. look how stunning the skies are. we've got clear conditions and that sunshine

a statement from her family says she was diagnosed with brain cancer in 2023. former presidents obama and biden and former secretary of state hillary clinton all released statements lauding richards for her impact on women's health. cecile richards was 67 years old. we are following breaking news on capitol hill. senators have received an affidavit which contains allegations against president trump's pick for secretary of defense pete hegseth. yesterday the armed services committee voted along party lines and sent his nomination to the full senate for confirmation. of course, that was before these new details emerged against hegseth, a former fox news host and military veteran. joing us julia louise dreyfus who has new reporting on this. tell us more about these allegations. here. >> reporter: the allegations so far are in this affidavit that are being viewed by senators. they detail potential abuse that samantha hegseth experienced at

the hands of pete hegseth. we were in contact with samantha, of course the second wife of pete hegseth, his ex-wife, who said she is not experienced physical abuse at the hands of her ex-husband who is now days away potentially from being confirmed by the senate to be trump's secretary of defense. it's a major position. there were questions before these allegations came to light. we have been working on this for weeks. in the confirmation hearing last tuesday there was a moment in which the republican chairman entered into the record a document from his divorce with samantha hegseth in which both of them signed that they were not victims of any domestic abuse. and in this case now, with the signed affidavit by samantha hegseth and pete hegseth's former former sister-in-law danielle, she says samantha told her pete hegseth would act in a way that would make h fear for her safety. this is so fast developing, i want to tell you, reed, a top democratic in the armed services

committee handling his nomination, sent a letter to danielle hegseth over the weekend asking her to detail any instances of abuse or any hreatening behavior that she experienced. she says, by the way, in the signed affidavit, currently being reviewed by senators, she knows of some of these allegations to be true because of her personal interactions with pete hegseth who she describes as aggressive. zinhle. >> and what sort of reaction, you mentioned reed, what kind of reaction are we hearing from senators? >> reporter: republicans who are viewing the fact the affidavit, five have viewed the document in a closed door private setting. there are two version. one is unredacted. that's what senators are able to review. five of those senators who viewed it, there are questions whether they will go forward in supporting pete hegseth's nomination because of these allegations. remember when we were hearing, anonymous smears from hegseth, his lawyer, saying the

allegations are untrue because they were anonymous. she was a confidant of samantha. i spoke to leader schumer, the top democrat in the senate. he said he had a chance to talk to somebody directly who walked him through all of the allegations laid out in the affidavit. he says that these allegations are disturbing. jack reed gave a statement exclusively this morning saying they are so disturbing that he wants them to take a break, take a pause, try to see first of all why none of this information made it into the fbi background check. we know that the fbi interviewed danielle hegseth. we reported last week none of this information or anything having do with his ex-wives was in the report provided by trump transition officials to senators considering his nomination. these are questions that democrats are asking. republicans are asking, too, and of course that is key because republicans control the chamber here. >> and we know that republicans

still control the senate. we also know that hegseth's initial performance in his public confirmation hearing was well received. to that end, how might that impact things. >> reporter: yesterday they reported his nomination on party line votes 14-13. now it's out of the hands of the committee that held that hearing that you are referring to. now it goes to the full senate floor for a vote that. vote could happen as early as thursday. in the meeting yesterday democrats tried to hit pause asking for a week to consider these allegations swirling around. republican chairman roger whitaker said no. they moved forward with the vote. as it stands, the vote could happen as soon as thursday and then if a majority of republican senators vote to confirm him, he will be trump's secretary of defense. >> thank you. in the middle east sunday's start of the ceasefire between israel and hamas brought the first pause in fighting between the two sides in more than a

year. within hours three hostages were released into israel and 90 palestinian prisoners released into the west bank. the first of several hostage for prisoner swaps set to take place the next six weeks. joining us is raf sanchez in tel aviv. so far the ceasefire is holding. what's the latest there right now? >> reporter: zinhle, i think the phrase so far, so good. today we have seen hundreds of trucks of badly needed humanitarian aid crossing that gaza. some 900 trucks made it through yesterday. that is multiple times what we have seen in recent months. hamas is saying it will uphold its end of the bargain, release the next batch of israeli hostages on saturday. that's of course after those sunday.omen were released on and israeli forces and hamas even though they are in relatively close proximity to each other, inside of the gaza strip they do not seem to be

exchanging fire. palestinian civilians are returning to areas that they were forced out of. they are finding in some cases the ruins of their homes and israelis are hoping for more scenes like those emotional reunions we saw on sunday. now, prime minister -- excuse me, president trump has said he is not confident that this ceasefire will hold, but as i said, so far, so good. zinhle. >> raf sanchez, thank you. and we are following dramatic developments in a london courtroom after last-minute settlement stalks stalled prince harry's high stakes trial against the british tabloids. he is suing news group newspapers owned by rupert murdoch. he alleges the journalists and investigators used unlawful tactics to gather information about him and his family. the company denied any wrongdoing. joining us halla in london. get us up to speed. there is a strong incentive for

prince harry to settle, especially under english law, right? >> reporter: there is. and other celebrities have settled with news group newspapers in the past when it became apparent that if their claims were not successful in court, that they could be liable for the legal costs of both parties, which would run into the millions. but prince harry has always said that he wanted to see this go to court, that he wanted to testify. in fact, he testified in another case against the mirror group newspaper. a group that owns another tabld, claiming that they also used unlawful news gathering information, and was awarded a significant settlement. in this case, there is a co-claimant, a british politician, tom watson. he might be inclined to settle because if he ends up in a situation where he has to cover his own legal costs as well as

the legal costs of the russianert murdoch owned entity, that could be financially disastrous. so we are waiting because there have been many delays in court today and the request for an adjournment. this comes as the judge himself in the case said that this case has been delayed enough and we are waiting to see if in the next few hours there is a settlement between the two sides, zinhle. >> and halla, as we wait, prince harry has previously said he would not fold and settle because he said this trial to him is about accountability. so how does that factor in? >> reporter: it's an interesting question. is he right now performing a u-turn? is there some sort o of sense o the prince harry side that settling would be more advantageous, that getting a big settlement would be a win in a way? if he does testify, by the way, it would happen in february, according to a source who has spoken about this to nbc news. the trial would last eight to

ten weeks. there would be high-profile witnesses as well in the case. but we are waiting to see. it seems as though the delay is pointing in the direction of a possible settlement. in fact, one of the lawyers in court today, zinhle, said that one of the issues that needed to be addressed was a time difference question, meaning potentially that prince harry being in california, there is a, let me calculate, eight-hour time difference between london and where he resides in california. it could mean he needed to be involved in an important discussion and that needed to -- a little bit more time than they had in court today. zinhle. >> time will tell. thank you. here in the u.s. ohio state fans are rejoicing today after the buckeyes clinched their first national college football title in ten years. they arrived in columbia after beating notre dame 334-23. the thrilling run taps off an historic year for the expanded

about the arctic blast with temperatures plummeting 20 to 40 degrees below average. these areas like texas and northern florida rarely see such extreme cold weather. officials are urging people to stay safe and stockham. joining us an instructor of medicine at ucla health. doctor, good to see you. so a lot of people may not be used to this kind of cold weather. even if you are, it can still be dangerous, right? what are your tips for people who have to deal with the extreme cold weather right now? >> it can, zinhle. that's an excellent point about the people affected right now aren't necessarily those who know how to handle it or dealt about it in previous year. the cdc, centers for disease control, has a really good resource for this about how to prepare yourself and your home for these severe sort of cold winter storms. to go through some of the things, make sure you have at

least a month's supply of medication, blood pressure medications, blood thinners if you are on them, enough food and water for you and your loved one and pets. 30 prepare for potential power outages. the heat could go out. have warm blankets. don't use your stove to heat the house. that bridges me to the next point, make sure you have a carbon monoxide detector because that's a poisonous gas. if it builds up from the wrong source of heat, could be deadly. the last thing, a fraction of what you can do. it's to make sure you check on those over 65 and babies or newborns can be more vulnerable to the affects of the cold weather. >> we know frostbite and hypothermia can n occur en the body is exposed to extremely cold temperatures. what are signs to be aware of and how can people appropriately gear up for the cold? >> right. and so for those who don't know, hypothermia is a low core body temperature. normal temperature is 98 degrees or so. that's when the temperature

drops too low. frostbite is when parts of your skin start to freeze and can die off if not treated properly. the signs to watch for with hypothermia, are you shivering? that tends to be the first sign for most people. are you shivering relentlessly, not remitting. do you get confusion and memory loss. some of that, if your body is too low, can affect the brain. you see the symptoms there. for infants who can't communicate as well, watch for low energy or bright red cold skin. >> great tips. i want to shift to another medical story we are following. yesterday marks five years since the first confirmed case of coronavirus here in the united states. and while covid does not appear to be going away, cases are not as high as they once were. so where do we stand when it comes to coronavirus? >> yeah, they are not as high as they once were, particularly we saw a large summer wave this year. we talked about that a few months ago in the summer.

for whwhatever reason, maybe because of prebuilt immunity from that, we are not seeing as much right now as we are in previous years. but in talking to my colleagues across the country at northwestern, nyu, they are seeing a lot of what i'm seeing, flu. the flu seasonas a little bit late this year. i am seeing a number of cases here at ucla and i know my colleagues are as well. even though covid is lower, you watch want to watch out for the flu. there is an over the counter test. >> sounds like whether it's cold temperatures or covid symptoms, particular it seriously and stay safe out there. thank you. thanks for being with us. we have a lot more news ahead. you are watching "nbc news daily." what the... is it your constipation with belly pain again? relax, i'm future you future me? our doctor figured it out. the symptoms keep coming back because it's ibs-c. he said linzess could help you get ahead of it. c'mon, kenny! whatta you say? yess! get ahead of your ibs-c with linzezess. linzess is not a laxative.
