kate snow. "nbc news daily" starts right now. >> today, thursday, january 23rd, 2025. new fires erupt. yet another fast-moving california wildfire forces tens of thousands from their homes. is there relief ahead in the forecast? >> drawing the line. president trump takes his first steps towards rolling out his mass deportation plan. who the white house is empowering to remove undocumented migrants. >> shell-shock. egg prices are soaring once again, and gas prices too. what's behind the latest surges and what you can do to save. >> and the plot thickens. the oscar nominations are officially out. the surprises, the snubs, and the drama already unfolding over one of the biggest categories. >> there's so many movies where still need to watch. >> it's time to get a list. that's what i feel like i'm doing. did i watch it? >> get your pen and paper ready.

we'll get to that lalater. we're going to start with those unrelenting winds fueling new fires in southern california. >> yeah, crews there trying to contain the growing laguna fire in ventura county which just started burning today. the brush fire has scorched 50 acres so far. the hughes fire over near santa clara has emerged as the biggest threat, burning more than 10,000 acres since it erupted yesterday. that fire forced evacuations like this one at this high school in castaic. schools in the district are closed today as a precaution. >> and looking at the biggest fires right now, the palisades and eden fires are each more than 70% contained according to cal fire. however, the new hughes fire is nbc news meteorologist bill karins is tracking the weather conditions but let's start with correspondent dana griffin in valencia, california. dana, how are crews battling these newest fires here? >> reporter: yeah, zinhle, they're ing them from the

air, from the ground, and they have done a pretty good job. behi me, this is the burn scar from the hughes fire. you can kind of see it on that hillside. this is how close it got to this community. and firefighters, as you can see, have put out all of the flames. we did see a sliver of smoke going by that was being pushed by this wind, but there's none right now. we're still feeling the wind gusts and that red flag warning is in effect until tomorrow morning. so we're not out of the woods yet. but fire crews are battling this by being predeployed across this region. they're able to get on these fires a lot quicker than we have seen in years past. that's because unfortunately, those deadly wildfires that we had two weeks ago, a lot of the crews have stayed here and just moments ago, governor gavin newsom was here getting a briefing. i spoke to one of the local representatives that was also in the briefing. he said we learned that essentially, firefighters saved castaic. so that's such a great -- that's such great news.

behind us, we have crews loading up some boxes, so this is just kind of the scene here. people are still -- there's still a massive presence at this command post. people are not going anywhere until california feels safe. zinhle, ellison. >> the laguna fire has prompted a new round of evacuations. that is something that's become routine in southern california for weeks now. homeowners and first responders, they must be exhausted. can you tell us more about that, dana? >> reporter: they're exhausted but i think someone said this yesterday, that we learned a valuable lesson two weeks ago during the deadly palisades and eaton fires. you were here. some people, they did not evacuate. whether they couldn't physically or they were trying to protect their homes, and official said that some of those people were the ones that got severely burned, and unfortunately died. so what we're seeing is people, they're a little more on edge. when new fires pop up and evacuation orders are issued,

people are leaving, getting out of harm's way because we know what these wildfires can do and the hope is that with this incoming rain, maybe it can give us a little reprieve. ladies. >> dana, thanks so much. bill, let's bring you in here. what are the biggest threats and will folks there see relief anytime soon? >> dana mentioned it, rain. everyone is excited about it. the only exception being people who live near those burn scars because heavy rain could have issues with that. 10 million people under red flag warnings. the highest wind gusts are in the mountains pretty much north of sherman oaks. near the hughes fire, the winds have been coming down over the last hour. last night, they were gusting pretty high. the boots on the ground, the bulldozers, also all the air assets, they did an amazing job of containing and stopping this fire right here from getting towards interstate 5 and getting towards castaic. they were doing structure protection and yeah, it worked. now all the flames are pretty much out. as we go throughout this evening, the winds are in the 20 to 30-mile-per-hour range.

by the time we get to the early morning hours they should be lower than that. tomorrow, not as windy. we're expecting humidity to come up, and we're happy to say by the time we get toward the weekend, moisture returns. the first storm in a long time, some areas it will be their first rain since may of last year. and we're thinking possibly as much as an inch of rain. we may get isolated thunderstorms. if that happens over a burn scar area, that would be a concern for mudslides. but this is so welcomed, and even in the mounts we'll get some of the first snow of the season in southern california. this is much, much welcomed rain. we have been waiting for this for so long. this would definitely help for a least a week or two after the rain is done. >> definitely could use that help. thank you both. we're following breaking news from the white house. where president trump is expected to sign a new executive order. >> it comes as we're also foowing breaking news out of seattle. a federal judge has temporarily blocked president trump's order

attempting to end birthright citizenship. that means anyone born in the united states is automatically a citizen regardless of their parents' immigration status. >> joining us is gabe gutierrez, and nbc news homeland security correspondent julia ainsley. julia, let's stat with you on this. what did we hear from the judge today about their decision? >> reporter: this judge was very quick and firm in his decision. this is an 85-year-old conservative judge appointed by ronald reagan who said that ever his four decades on the bench, this is the most blatantly unconstitutional executive order he has ever seen. of course, he was speaking of president trump's executive order that he issued just hours after taking office to end birthright citizenship so any child born to a mother who is not legally inside the united states or even if they're legally here but on a temporary visa, that that child would not be given u.s. citizenship unless the father of that child was a u.s. citizen or here legally and

permanently as well. that really was something that we heard from 22 states and from pregnant mothers as well as aclu, a slew of lawsuits across the country. and they argue that that, of course, is in violation of the 14th amendment. something that has been on the u.s. constitution since the 1800s. was ratified by congress again in 1952. and the judge very quickly agreed with them and issued a temporary restraining order so that executive order cannot go into effect on february 19th. but this is not the end. we can expect the trump administration to appeal. and likely, this battle will go all the way to the supreme court. >> yeah, not the end. could impact a lot in the future, but looking back a bit, julia, what does today's ruling mean for people who already are living in the country through birthright citizenship? >> well, it was never going to take away anyone who was already here through birthright citizenship. if you had been born in this country before february 19th, you would be considered a u.s. citizen. there are only some exceptions

if you're the child of a diplomat. but because of this temporary restraining order, now even going forward, new babies who are born, they will still be considered u.s. citizens unless, of course, that gets overturned by a higher court. so they were always looking at fuching babies being born, not looking back. but look, the arguments here today said it would also be a real mess because if people were born inside this country and not considered u.s. citizens they could essentially be stateless. >> gabe, let's bring you in here because there are other actions related to immigration that we should talk about as well. the trump administration expanded some law enforcement agencies being able to be a authority to deport people other than i.c.e. talk to us about what's going on there? >> reporter: that comes from one of president trump's top adviser, stephen miller, who confirmed overnight in an interview that this time around, that other agencies, including the fbi and atf, will be able to help with mass deportations. of course, this comes as

immigration round-ups have already started under the trump administration, but we should point out that they were also ongoing during the biden administration. and earlier this week, trump's border czar, tom homan, said that i.c.e. had made more than 300 arrests nationwide. that is just a little bit more than we saw last september, an average of 282 arrests during the biden administration. so i.c.e. as it faces a massive budget shortfall has been facing a personnel shortfall as well. so in addition to those other agencies now helping, as you mentioned, president trump will be sending 1500 active duty troops to the u.s. southern border as well. >> we're also expecting president trump to sign some executive orders later today. do we have any sense of what that might involve? >> no, we don't at this point. as you also mentioned, there has been a slew of executive orders he has signed over the last few days. an unprecedented number so early on in the administration. so as the white house would likely say, stay tuned.

>> all right, gabe gutierrez, julie ainsley, thank you both. let's talk money. ford is recalling more than 200,000 vehicles. >> how would like to buy a pint of snow? seema modi joins us with the cnbc money minute. >> let's start with that automotive news. ford is recalling more than 270,000 vehicles over concerns their battery could fail, according to federal regulators, the 12-volt batteries some 2021 to 2023 bronco sports and 2022 to 2023 mavericks could degrade potentially causing loss of power. >> in other news, las vegas hotel workers ending their longest strike in decades after reaching a new contract with virgin hotels. the culinary workers union said on x that members unanimously voted for the new five-year contract covering about 700 employees at the hotel. the deal ends a 69-day strike that began in november over payment disagreements.

>> and to commemorate the philadelphia eagles' win in the divisional round of the playoffs this past sunday, the team partnered with memorabilia marketplace the realist to sell, get this, 100 pints of commemorative snow, which the team said was carefully preserved and authenticated. the pienlt sold out in two hours after going on sale on wednesday for $50, which does represent the total points, of course, scored in that game. >> did you say 5-0, $50? >> yeah. 5-0. for snow. >> don't forget to store it in a cool, dry, cold place. >> you paid for the case. you paid $50 for a green and white ice cream jar. all right. seema modi, thank you. >> thank you. coming up, a major move from the family behind purdue pharma that could impact thousands of court cases involvingopeioids. >> plus, the suspect in the idaho college murders is back in court today. the key dna evidence against him that he's trying to get thrown

the man accused of murdering four university of idaho students is back in court today for a kitical hearing. >> bryan kohberger's lawyers are asking a judge to dismiss key evident in the case. that issue is how his dna was obtained. they used public ancestry sites to build a list of suspects which led them to kohberger. the defense says that process violates his constitutional

rights. he's scheduled to go on trial this summer. >> legal analyst danny cevallos joins us now on set with more. you are a defense attorney. not bryan kohbger's defense attorney, but help us understand what his attorneys are seeing here and why they think this argument could work. >> this is an attempt to try anything you can, put it on the record, and hope for the best, knowing that this motion is likely to fail. while investigative genetic genealogy is a relatively new science, an effort to try to suppress it as violating your constitutional rights is likely to fail for a couple reasons. number one, crime scenes are not your personal space you can say the police shouldn't have gone there without a warrant. in addition, when your relatives provide their dna to these websites, that's not violating your fourth amendment, your expectation of privacy. so the key is, there a reasonable expectation of privacy, and likely, he doesn't have one either in the crime scene or in the genetic material that his relatives, distant relatives may have given to a website. >> you're saying this is

unlikely. let's say the judge does decide to toss out this dna evidence. how might that impact the prosecution's case? >> it would be a pretty big deal. a huge win for the defense. don't get me wrong, the prosecution still has a lot of other good evidence, for example, there is at least one eyewitness from that night itself. and it is still not certain whether that witness will get into court and say, that's who i ran into in the hallway. that's one example that could keep the case alive. of course, dna evidence is so helpful, especially with modern juries who were raised on csi and other shows. they don't just look for dna evidence. they expect it. if it isn't in there, they may punish the prosecution. >> danny, thank you. a terrifying scene in san antonio last night. seven police officers were shot outside an apartment complex. >> the officers were responding to what's described as a suicide in progress call from a family member of the suspect when it all happened. according to authorities, the shooter barricaded himself

inside a first floor apartment leading to a standoff that lasts several hours. when they went inside, officers found the suspected gunman dead. >> let's get to priya sridhar in san antonio. what more do we know about exactly what happened here? >> reporter: hey, guys. that's right, it was a very scary night for the folks who live in this apartment complex. you can still see the crime scene tape behind me. there's still several police officers there thatare combing through the scene trying to collect any evidence they can. as you mentioned, this all unfolded shortly after 8:30 last night. san antonio police officers arrived at this apartment complex responding to what they had heard was a suicide call, when they approached the apartment on the first floor of this complex. that's when the gunfire was shot from the suspect who was inside of the apartment. seven police officers were shot. the s.w.a.t. team was then called in. for several hours, there was a standoff as the suspect was barricaded inside that apartment. i got a chance to speak to some of the residents in this complex who told me that tear gas was

used and the police chief here said that they attempted for several hours to have negotiations, and they wanted this to all be resolved peacefully. but let's take a listen to what the san antonio police chief had to say about how this all ended. >> at the end of the event, the suspect was found to be deceased. we don't know if he was shot by self-inflicted wound or whether or not shot by s.w.a.t. officers. >> reporter: now, the suspect has been identified as 46-year-old brandon pules, we do know he was arrested over the weekend and charged with three counts of assault, a violation of a protective order, and driving while intoxicated. he was released on bond on sunday. and the good news here is that we know that six of the seven police officers were just released from the hospital. and that final police officer is expected to make a full recovery. guys. >> priya, thank you. still ahead, burger king serves up a whopper of an

the history not only in our community, you know, across the united states. farm workers became recognized. and with everything happening right now, with the raids happening at the at the farms, it is it is an honor that the teetee half moon bay continues to think about honoring our farm workers. at the same time, the advocacy group las ayudando, a latino slauson gia, continues to push farm worker housing. the shooting at those two mushroom farms exposed the unsafe and unsanitary conditions in which so many farm workers live. one surviving farm worker, in fact, whose brother was killed, sued the mushroom farm owners, accusing them of failing to protect tenants even after a prior shooting and for providing housing that was little more than a shipping container with no insulation, running water or way to cook food in a sanitary way. and a la spokesperson says that there is progress toward

livable housing at one site. but now some of the people who were in favor two years ago are second guessing. a second site for senior farm workers. we're seeing that there is a pushback from the community coming forward saying, hey, we don't want them in our downtown space. we want housing for farm workers, but not here. and the sentiment that, you know, the community is being elevated and having more power, which is what they deserve. they work so hard. what the power is housing. you know, everyone has a right to humane housing and dignified housing. it's a human right. in a statement, congressman sam liccardo said, let's recommit to supporting those families and the entire community to heal. we can do so by supporting housing for the farm workers who lived in such desperate, deplorable conditions, including the project currently under development on kelly avenue. the congressman goes on to say we can also honor their loss with

action to reduce gun violence. the community will have another chan to see the proposed memorial designs between 3 and 4 this afternoon. and then at 6:00, people are invited to gather for a vigil, as they have over the last couple of years. meantime, the community is still waiting for justice. the accused gunman's trial hasn't even been set for a date yet, and it may not be set until the end of april. back to you. okay. thank you. chris. we are going to switch gears now and talk about our weather. we could see some sprinkles and the wind blowing this weekend, but there will be sunshine today. here's cinthia pimentel with what we can expect. we're going to celebrate this friday with lots of sunshine and warm temperatures. low 70s from los gatos over on into gilroy upper 60s for parts of the tri-valley and dublin. and that will continue up into napa, san francisco as well. 69 degrees into santa rosa this afternoon. we're going to notice some cloud cover coming in as early as friday morning, with

under the terms of the deal, the company, purdue pharma, would be spun out and there would be a board, and then that board would be appointed by the parties of the settlement. so 14 states involved including the state of new york. let's take a listen to what the attorney general had to say in a press conference announcing this deal earlier today. >> the sackler family and their company, purdue, who helped spark the opioid crisis decades ago, have for years avoided accountability for the immense cause that they have caused. all of the victims, all of the loved ones who have died. all of those who are in the throes of addiction right now. but that ends today. >> you can hear the emotion in her voice. to give you a sense of how they're going to be dividing this money. $7.4 billion in total. 14 states. new york state will receive $250 million of those funds earmarked

for opioid recovery programs. >> wow. >> have we heard anything from the company yet, and in terms of the previous deal, any other big differences we should know about that one verses this and the supreme court struck that down. could that happen again? >> first, let's pull up a statement. we did hear from purdue pharma today saying, quote, we're extremely pleased that a new agreement has been reached that will deliver billions of dollars to compensate victims, abate the opioid crisis, and deliver treatment and overdose rescue medicines that will save lives. we have worked intensely with our creditors for months in mediation and we're focused on finalizing the details. as i mentioned, back in june, the supreme court overturned the ruling. the original ruling included a provision that would shield the family from any future liability. the supreme court striking that down. now, this time, this agreement includes $800 million earmarked to a sort of legal defense fund for the sackler family in the case of any future litigation, that $800 million included in

the $7.4 billion. >> erin mclaughlin, thank you. let's talk about the price you pay, specifically for two things a lot of us buy regularly. eggs and gasoline. >> new numbers show both of the prices of those things, they have recently skyrocketed. christine romans joins us now with more. talk to us about gas prices first, because they are higher today than they were a year ago. what is going on there? >> yeah, they have been creeping up in recent weeks. gas prices rose again overnight. they're up a nickel from last year. of course, all last year, we kept saying gas prices are lower than a year ago. in recent weeks, they have been rising. they have risen about a dime over the past month. a couple things happening here. there are concerns or talk of more sanctions against russia for its war in ukraine. that is something that lifts prices in the global market. and also, concerns and talk about tariffs. president trump's tariffs, were he to put tariffs on imports from canada and mexico, there's

canadian crude that comes into the united states. could there be a trade war that would engulf some of these really important commodities that are crossing borders and of course all of that global markets are anticipatory, so this is why you're seeing an upward drift in energy prices and gas prices. >> and i have to talk eggs because i have a bone to pick about the price of these eggs and how difficult they can be to find. every time i go to the store, yep, it looks like that. what's behind it all, and why are the costs creeping up? >> well, let's crack the case, shall we? it is because there was a lot of demand for eggs over the holidays. consumers spent a lot of money. at the same time, we're two years into a bird flu crisis where millions of these laying hens have been infected by the bird flu, and so they're not laying eggs. you're not using those eggs so we have a splay time at the same time we had a big burst in demand. the average price is something like $4.15 this week, $4.15 for a grade a dozen, but a lot of you out there have been telling

me especially on the coast you're paying $7, $8. sometimes you're finding like specialty eggs, that's the only thing on the shelf. you don't even really get to pick and choose what you want to buy. in some cases you're seeing empty store shelves. this has been something that has been started getting serious before the holidays and still, there are still higher prices and scattered shortages ththere. maybe later this year that will get better but again, this is -- this is a bird flu crisis, and that is ecting those flocks. >> thank you. now to an update on the breaking news we brought you at the top of the hour. >> president trump moments ago signing multiple new executive orders. >> let's get right to it with senior white house correspondent gabe gutierrez back with us. we understand the president just signed a number of orders. what are the big takeaways here? >> that's right. we are just getting this information because while there were cameras in the room when he signed them, it has not been played back jest yet.

we're relying on notes from reporters in the room. the president did sign five executive orders. the first one was concerning artificial intelligence. and he wants to move the u.s. to the forefront of artificial intelligence. we're still waiting for more information on that. the second order he signed was about cryptocurrency and designed to make america the cryptocurrency capital of the world. the third established a presidential council of science and technology. the fourth recognizing native american tribe in north carolina. the fifth was the pardon of some anti-abortion protesters. he also signed an order unclassifying records related to the assassination of jfk, martin luther king, and robert f. kennedy. now, he did answer, as he often does, a wide ranging list of questions from reporters. he was asked what he wanted the military to do at the u.s. southern border. and he responded that he wanted the military to keep -- make

sure the border was safe and secure and that criminals are not coming in. now, earlier in the day, he was also asked what he wanted to do about the war in ukraine. and this time, he also responded that he wanted to meet president vladimir putin immediately to discuss an end to the war in ukraine. >> all right, gabe gutierrez with that late-breaking news of the new executive orders signed by president trump. thank you. we're just a few weeks into the new year, and if one of your resolutions is to be more eco friendly, our next guest has you covered. >> you might know him from naturally danny ceo or from his book, do just one thing, 365 ideas for a better you, life, and planet. he's a sustainable expert and he's here with five easy adjustments we can all make to live a greener liefrl. thank you for being with us. >> good to be here with more lighthearted fun things. >> we need it. >> so let's start with drinks, because i think one of the

basics that almost everyone knows, carry around a reusable water bottle. >> when you're at the store and you have a choice between something in a plastic bottle, a glass bottle, or aluminum can, what do you think is more sustainable? >> i thought aluminum. >> we know plastic isn't the answer. >> i also want to say aluminum. >> correct. plastic is not the answer. obviously, i brought an aluminum can as if you didn't know what one would look like. the reason we choose aluminum cans. 60 days from actual purchase to the shelf, it takes 60 days from consumption, recycling, to back to the shelf as a new aluminum can. it only takes two month. glass is a more difficult material to recycle in most communities. >> it's worth reminding because you're right, even bringing the example, you forget a lot of water is in aluminum cans. sometimes i forget to double check whether it's soda or a

water. >> or cocktails too. >> let's talk about food. because a lot of people think, okay, ini want to help the environment, i heard i have to go vegan. >> going vegan actually would be 50% less co2 emissions. but a lot of people are like, i want to still have other things. beef flexitarian, you can choose things. what we believe is there great things where you can make easy vegan swaps. so the big one is cheese. so plant-based cheeses, maybe about five years ago, not so great. they tasted like fake cheese. >> yeah. >> they're really good now. there are a few brands that we love. they're getting to the point where they're formulated with calcium. >> you're getting some nutritional benefit. >> it's not just the taste, but you're also getting plant-based calcium, nutritional value. so many kids and people are lactose intolerant that this is good. >> are you also? >> very much so. >> i'm obsessed with this one. >> i love that. i know another challenge can be food waste. a lot of us will buy this

healthy food thinking we're going to cook it and then it spoils. >> there is food that doesn't expire. when you look in your pantry, there are things like soy sauce, vinegars. the big thing is maple syrup and honey actually never expire. scientists discovered like thousands- thousands-year-old honey and it was edible. so if you see honey and maple syrup that looks cloudy and not so great, it's fine to eat. >> all right, so we understand there's a change that we can make when we're outside that has to do with bug zappers. >> i know, it's so funny because i walk here and it's zero degrees. actually, it's a good thing when low temperatures kill invasive species. but avoid chemical sprays. avoid bug zappers. bug zappers can't tell the difference between the good ones and bad ones. instead, just get a fan to blow everything away. the key other bonus tip is that when you're washing with soap,

choose things that are 100% fragrance free. because you will smell like a flower to those biting insects. >> all right. >> the more you know. >> danny, thank you so much. >> the more you know. >> love that. up next, this year's oscar nominations officially out. the history already being made. stay with us. you're watchin"nbc news g (vo) with fargo, your virtual assistant from wells fargo, you can pick up the tab, even when you forget your wallet.

you hear the music. it's oscar season, baby. officially. the nominations for this year's ceremony were announced this morning after being delayed twice due to the wildfires. >> amelia perez leads the pack with 13 nominations. it's a movie about a lawyer who helped a mexican cartel boss transition into a woman. the brutalist and wicked are tied for second with ten nominations each followed by conclave and a complete unknown. joining us now, dave carker. thanks so much for being here. >> my pleasure. >> we have to start best picture. there are ten nominees this year that includes all of the movies we just mentioned. what do you think of the top contenders? >> what i love is it's the great equalizer. you have wicked and dune part two, alongside movies like honora, which we were talking about which ellison and i love.

>> i have to watch. >> and some of the smaller movies that really could use the boost of big ticket oscar nominations to encourage people to go see them. the brutalist, same thing. the brutalist, a lot of people are scared of it because it's 3 1/2 hours long and you have to go to the movie theater to see it. but it's worth it. section off a whole afternoon, go see it. it's worth your time. that's what i love about this group of ten. that you have every possible type of movi you have even a horror movie like the substance getting five big nominations and might even win for best actress for demi moore. i love this list. obviously, every year there's a couple things that don't make the cut but it's really exciting what the academy did this year. >> talk to us about the best actress category because some history is being made there, right? >> yeah, there's a couple things. first of all, with car law sophia casecon, being nominated, she becomes the first trans performer nominated for an acting oscar. that's historic. besides that, it's a wonderful

performance she gives. she plays the character as a trans woman and also as a cis gender man at the beginning of the movie. fernanda torres who was also nominated, a surprise nominee for the brazilian film, i'm still here, she becomes the second actress ever to be nomited from brazil for an oscar, and the first one was her mom. who starred in a movie directed by the same man who directed the movie that she's in. >> i love that. >> a real kind of mother/daughter moment. but best actress is almost more notable this year for the actresses who didn't get nominated. nicole kidman for baby girl, angelina jolie for aria. the best actress race has been more crowded and led to more sad omissions than even the best actor. >> we have to hit best actor on that note. >> sure. adrian brody is the front runner for the brutalist. it's a great performance and the movie has so much screen time that he as a lot of great stuff.

i'm also partial to timothee chalamet, getting his second best acting nomination before hitting the age of 30. >> people are hot on him. >> he's great. and ralph fiennes getting his nomination for conclive, a movie that did well overall, and a lot of people will vote for him as kind of a career acknowledgment. i think adrian brody is in the lead. >> you touched on some of the snubs in the best actress category. big picture, what was a surprise, what was a snub in your book? >> i think speaking of conclave, the fact the director didn't get nominated was a bit of a surprise, especially because the movie did so well. i think they gave it instead of the french director of the substance, and that's a movie, talk about surprises. it surprised me. when i saw it, i thought it was well done, very entertaining. didn't strike me as an academy awards film. didn't seem like the kind of movie they would go for because it's a body horror movie.

but demi moore gives such a body and soul bearing performance and she's become something of a favorite on the awards season this year. she gave a beautiful speech at the golden globes. she's kind of a sentimentsal favorite and could even win for this movie which would be insane. >> okay, so as we wrap up, just like look at the crystal ball briefly. what are your predictions in the landscape, crowded actress, a.i. controversy. there's so much. >> right now, i think the brutalist, which is the subject of the a.i. controversy, is actually going to be the big winner. my predictions right now is that the brutalist could win picture, director, and actor. >> okay, time will tell. dave, thank you so much. stay with us. there's more news ahead. you are watching "nbc news daily." you'll find them in cities, towns and suburbs all across america. millions of americans who have medicare and medicaid, but may be missing benefits they could really use. extra benefits they may be
