look at the time. that is our broadcast this week. thank you for being with us and good night from our nbc news headquarters here in new york. the supreme court blocks the white house from seeking president trump's records and the latest own the ouster spencer. spencer. make a private deal with the white house, but spencer is defending his conduct.

good tuesday morning, everybody. it is november 26th, i'm yasmin vossoughian, alongside nbc news white house correspondent jeff bennet, we begin with a court ruling that took a hammer to the argument that the president is using to stone wall the impeachment investigation a federal court judge has rejected the white house argument of absolute immunity. ruling that former white house counsel don mcgahn must testify in the impeachment investigation. now, the house judiciary committee subpoenaed mcgahn earlier this year for testimony on possible obstruction of justice on the mueller investigation. when the white house blocked his appearance, the committee sued and yesterday a federal judge sided with congress writing in her opinion, quote, this, stated simply, the primary take-away from the past 250 years of recorded american history is that presidents are not kings. this means that they do not have subjects, bound by loyalty or blood, whose destiny they are entitled to control.

>> the judiciary committee chairman jerry nadler says mcgahn should quote appear promptly before the committee but an official tells nbc news that the justice department will seek a stay to stop the ruling from taking immediate effect. the white house said in a statement says, the decision contradicts longstanding legal precedent established by administrations of both political parties. we will appeal and are confident that the important constitutional principle advanced by the administration will be vindicated. while the ruling only compels mcgahn's testimony, the trump administration has used the now rejected absolute immunity claim to defy congressional subpoenas for vice president mike pence, secretary of state mike pompeo, and acting chief of staff mick mulvaney. former national security adviser john bolton has not been subpoenaed, but people familiar with his views tell the "washington post" that he would testify if cleared by a federal court. >> let's get some clarity on some of this. msnbc legal analyst danny cevallos is joining us now in

the studio. thanks for joining us on this. this is major breaking news over the last 24 hours and it is interesting because so much has transpired on the washington landscape since the mueller probe was completed and released and they sought the testimony of don mcgahn, and here we have some resolution on that, basically saying that he cannot defy the subpoena, so what do you make of it? where do we go from here? does don mcgahn now have to appear? >> if the d.o.j. does not seek a stay from a higher court, here the appellate court, then yes, he does have to testify. but the d.o.j. will certainly appeal this, and ask for a stay. which is asking a higher court to pause the lower court proceedings, until they can be heard on their issues. so that's where this goes from here. >> and danny, my read on this whole thing is this. don mcgahn isn't really a central figure to the impeachment probe. but this ruling could open the door to people like john bolton, because john bolton's attorneys have told us previously that if he was subpoenaed, we appear, but he wanted really the cover

of a court order. well, now he has it. so it looks to me like the ball is entirely in john bolton's court. >> only if an appellate court doesn't stay the issue. because this is the strangest logjam of legal power of congress to subpoena individuals, because this exact issue was decided conclusively in almost identical facts back in 2007, the court, the same court, held that the, that there is no absolute immunity, that instead, someone would have to appear and assert executive privilege on a question by question basis, but the idea that you can completely ignore a congressional subpoena if you're a member of the executive branch is just blown out of the water here. but we've known this since at least 2007, because a court held the same thing back then. it is just that on appeal back then, in 2007, the issue was left sort of unresolved because the parties resolved it outside of court, so to speak.

>> put it simply for us here, danny, if you are a current member of the trump administration, or a former member of the trump administration, and you are aware that your testimony is incredibly important, especially during this current sort of ukraine situation that is unfolding and the impeachment inquiry, where do you stand, knowing that that subpoena could be coming down for you, especially with mick mulvaney, for instance. >> that's right, so what this court tells us today is that there is no absolute immunity. there may still be executive privilege as to specific questions for example, but you cannot just say i'm a member of the executive branch, i'm a high level presidential aide and therefore i do not need to listen to your subpoena. a i'm completely outside the scope of congress's subpoena power. that idea is being exploded. it was exploded back in 2007. and now when push comes to shove and the courts are required to actually decide the issue

conclusively, it isn't a surprise that longstanding precedent overrules what the d.o.j. says is really just its internal conclusions and decisions. >> danny cevallos, thank you. appreciate it. we will talk to you again in a little bit, danny, thanks. a federal judge yesterday issued a preliminary injunction ordering the department of defense and the white house office of management and budget to release records relating to trump administration's hold on military assistance to ukraine that is at the heart of the house impeachment inquiry. now, according to axios, the decision follows a lawsuit by the nonprofit journalism organization, center for public integrity, over a freedom of information act request, for more than 200 pages of records that include communications between the pentagon, the pentagon comptroller, and the white house budget office. now, the judge ordered the release of half of the documents by december 12th. and the rest by december 20th. >> and mark esper is weighing in on the firing of richard spencer following a controversial war

crimes case. speaking to reporters yesterday, esper explained that he was quote flabbergasted to learn that suspense her tried to make a secret deal with the white house concerning embattled navy seal edsy gallagher. he can demanded his resignation after learning about secretly approaching the white house. espersua esper, said monday, that direct gave him a direct order to drop the allegations against gallagher. in the first tv interview since being fired, he told nbc news, that he spoke to the white house counsel and said malone called back the same day to decline the offer, saying the president would be involved. spencer acknowledged not telling esper about the proposal. watch this. >> i will take the bat on me for not letting him knowdy this but he was completely informed on this because as chief of staff briefed ton. >> a spokesman for the pentagon

disputed the statement telling the "washington post" that no one on esper's staff was aware of spencer's proposed deal. in the same interview, spencer also argued that he was trying to head off an order from the president which he said he could not in good conscience obey. >> what do i stand for as secretary of the navy? good order and discipline of the united states navy. that's a prime tenet this. in fact erodes that. >> what's wrong with following a lawful order from the commander in chief. >> nothing. everyone should follow a lawful order. that is good order and discipline. i could not in my conscience do this. >> president trump is defending his involvement in the war crimes case telling reporters yesterday that he needed to quote protect our war fighters. look at this. >> i have to protect my war fighters. i've got an lot of people, a lot of people have, a lot of war fighters and people in the military have thanked us very much. with eddie gallagher, you know that story very well, they wanted to take his pin away and i said no you're not going to

take it away, he was a great fighter, he was one of the ultimate fighters. tough guy. these are not weak people. these are tough people. and we're going to protect our war fighters. >> former navy secretary richard spencer hit back at the president's comments. >> i don't think he really understands the full definition of a war fighter. war fight ser a profession of arms and a profession of arms has standards that they have to be held to and they hold themselves to. >> joining us now from washington political reporter for the washington examiner emily larsen. gnk good morning to you. thanks for joining us on this. let's stick with this for a moment with spencer an esper here. how might president trump's order for the u.s. navy to keep the status of embattled navy seal eddie gallagher, how might it denigrate the military's rank of command going forward? >> this has certainly already become a campaign issue for trump's 2020 re-election bid. with democratic rival pete

buttigieg speaking out against this last night, saying that president trump doesn't understand military service, and honor and process, and people buttigieg of course, is himself an afternoon veteran, and so those words might have a little bit more weight coming from him. but the reaction i've seen in reporting from, reactions from navy seals, has been a bit mixed, and i think mostly they're very much just wanting all of this increased attention to kind of go away. they find it distracting and they kind of just want to get back to their jobs. but there are certainly people who are not pleased with how this has been handled and not pleased with president trump's kind of subverting what was sort of expected in an instance like in in military discipline. on the other hand, there are other people who just would like the whole thing to go away so they can get back to doing their

job. >> emily, as you reported earlier, you have a federal judge basically ordering the department of defense and the white house budget office to hand over emails connected to the ukraine impeachment inquiry. the time line for this, though, apparently they have to hand them over by december. and a good portion of the impeachment inquiry might be done by then. so what do you think is the ultimate impact of this judge's order? >> well, i think it's to be determined. there's always the chance that the impeachment inquiry could extend further. i know that congress would like to get this wrapped up by hopefully christmas. and so that the potential summit trial could begin in january or february. but it is also unclear exactly what the impact the emails will have on the inquiry itself. what democrats are really looking for is more confirmation of kind of quid pro quo here. according to reporting i've read, there were some emails between omb and other agencies, trying to justify withholding this aid, but the legal

justification or trying to find the legal justification came after trump made a decision to withhold the aid. and so regardless of whether there are more, this full surge democrat quid pro quo-type things that they're looking for, it could certainly be embarrassing for the administration, and not something that they would like to come out. regardless of whether it backs the actual facts of the inquiry or not. >> it is interesting as we're talking about politicizing the military, we are getting reports that the president is looking to get eddie gallagher on the campaign trail with him, which i think speaks to that immensely. emily larsen, thank you so much. we will talk to you again in just a little bit. still ahead, intel committee chair adam schiff details the next steps in the house impeachment probe as gop lawmakers prepare a rebuttal defending president trump's behavior. >> plus, how things will play out in the upper chamber as mitch mcconnell says he has no choice but to take up an impeachment trial in the senate. those stories and a check on the

esper says. in the letter to democratic lawmakers, house intelligence committee chairman adam sif said that the committee is preparing to send a report to the judiciary committee once congress returns from thanksgiving recess next week. schiff wrote in part that after two weeks of public hearing, quote, the evidence of wrongdoing and misconduct by the president that we have gathered to date is clear and hardly in dispute. he noted that it is now time for lawmakers to decide whether president trump's behavior warrants impeachment. schiff also added that the report will include instances of noncompliance with the committee's subpoena as an example of obstruction by the trump white house, writing, quote, such obstruction was the basis of the third article of impeachment against president trump richard nixon. beyond that, the chairman did not rule out additional depositions from witnesses,

saying that the committee is prepared to hear from them. hours after adam schiff said his committee is preparing to deliver a report on the impeachment inquiry next week, as jeff just laid out, the house minority leader kevin mccarthy announced that republicans are planning to release their own rebuttal to the probe. >> schiff just came forward with a letter saying he will send a report to the judiciary, when we get back next week. now, the republicans in the minority will have a report as well to go forward. >> senate majority leader mitch mcconnell answered questions about a senate trial for impeachment and says the ummppe chamber will take up the trial because they have no choice. take a look at this. >> any idea how long the trial will last? >> there is really no way to know. there is no set time. we'll just have to turn to it when we get it, and work the way forward. >> how long we're on it will be

determined by the majority of the senate. >> do you think the president acted appropriately on his handling on ukraine? >> what? >> do you think he acted appropriately by asking for an investigation? >> do as i said, we will handle matter as it comes from the house, as we are supposed to under the rules. >> the chief justice, can you explain that. >> he presides over the trial. he is in the chair, the chief justice, he rules on all of the motions that are made. and one thing that will be good therapy for senators, they're actually not allowed to speak. they will have to sit there and listen. >> well, it seems a storm is brewing over washington, d.c. >> do you like that? >> you're feeling it today. >> that's what happens when i'm by myself here. >> kind of get punchy here. >> i told you, jeff, you should be up here. >> that's probably why he left. >> let's get a check of your

weather with nbc meteorologist bill karins. >> let's talk about what weather we're not going to ex experience in the next few days. no heat and no hurricane. >> everything sells on the table. a wildfire outside of sbrsanta a this morning. and a possible travel weather that we're dealing with, areas of i--25, heavy snow in denver spreading out to the plains. in all, we have two big storms. the first storm is here. that is the plains, up to minneapolis later on today, and then the second storm, this is the really strong one coming into the west coast, northern california and oregon later today, in all 22 million people are under a winter weather alert. and the heaviest snow today, some of it is already falling in colorado. and spreads through nebraska, and omaha is on the edge of it, but in sioux city, you will get nailed, and minneapolis, a possibility of six inches of snow for you and northern wisconsin and the upper peninsula of michigan, nine to 12 inches on the table. so that will make things

difficult. as i mentioned, this storm was strong enough to produce isolated severe weather. not widespread but in the memphis area, little rock, st. louis, all of missouri for the most part and northern louisiana, a little sliver of mississippi, damaging wind is possible and isolated tornado and of course, airport plans, and the line of storm goes through, big delays, in little rock to memphis. let's talk about the possible delays. obviously with the snowstorm ongoing right now in denver, the possibility of significant delays, later tonight, in minneapolis, saint paul, the airport, we could have big delay, and of cause, with the thunderstorms from chicago, to st. louis, the worst driving conditions, interstate 80 through nebraska, is going to be a mess today and hopefully it won't get closed but 35, you're going to go from rain in kansas city, to snowy weather in minneapolis, and then tomorrow, if there is any good news with any of these storms, the northeast does not look to get hit that hard. the rain will be brief when it comes through on wednesday. northern new england will be a little bit worse. now, because of the windy conditions and the volume, i still have new york city in the

red. but i don't think it will be horrendous. detroit and chicago, same for you. with the windy conditions out there. and you know, a lot of people are concerned yasmin, with the parade forecast, and right now it is still very iffy, winds cannot be over 34 miles an hour gusts, and the forecast calls for 35 to 40 mile-an-hour gusts. so jeff, you know, the kids want it see the balloon, and you know, the millions of people come to the city, and they are going to have a really tough decision to make. >> i hear you. yesterday, you were telling us about rain, and now it's snow in parts of the country, bill. >> it is a little bit of everything. and i'm going to talk more about that huge west coast storm coming up, i don't know if you have been to flagstaff, arizona, it could be the biggest snowstorm in almost 40 years. >> wow. >> all right. well, still ahead, we have new details about how the top republican on the house intelligence committee devin nunes may be involved in the very plot his committee is investigating regarding ukraine. we're back in a moment. class kid who made good. but mike bloomberg became the guy who did good.

yeah, and he wanted someone to help out with chores. so, we got jean-pierre. but one thing we could both agree on was getting geico to help with renters insurance. ♪ yeah, geico did make it easy to switch and save. ♪ oh no. there's a wall there now. that's too bad. visit geico.com and see how easy saving on renters insurance can be.

campaign, but when nunes' staff reportedly realized that going to ukraine themselves meant alerting schiff to their plans they had parnas set up the meetings over phone and skype. and nunes travelled to ukraine last year to meet with viktor shokin, the top prosecutor in ukraine, about investigating former vice president joe biden and his son hunter biden. senator lindsey graham is responding to former vice president joe biden's comments that he felt personally betrayed after the republican south carolina senator requested documents on hunter biden's involved part with ukraine. >> it's not going to work. i like joe biden. you know, all i can say is that joe didn't pull any punches when he ran against mccain. that's the way the system works. i like him fine. but we're not going to have two systems where you just look at the republicans, and you get a pass. we're going to ask questions, what was your son doing on that

board, why was he receiving $50,000 a month, and my conscience is clear, i love joe biden as a person, he is a really decent man, he's had a lot of tragedy in his life, but i have a conscience very clear right now and i have a duty, the house is going to shut it down, the senate is going to pick it up. >> now, although there is no evidence of wrong doing on the part of hunter biden, on thursday, graham sent a letter to secretary of state mike pompeo, asking to hand over documents on biden, his son hunter and obama administration officials and former ukrainian president, as a response to the impeachment hearings against president trump, happening in the house. all right, still ahead, the supreme court hands president trump a small victory by blocking house democrats from receiving his financial records, but it might not be for long. >> plus, former new york city mayor michael bloomberg makes his first presidential campaign stop. and explains why he is running for the white house. we're back in a moment.

welcome back, everybody. i'm yasmin vossoughian, alongside nbc news white house correspondent jeff bennet. house democrats will have to wait longer, to potentially see president trump's financial record, after the supreme court ruled to temporarily block them from being released. the top court's order gave no reasons behind the move, as well as no noted dissents among the justices. the decision to halt the records release follows an appeals court

earlier ruling requiring trump's accounting firm to immediately hand over the documents to house investigators as part of the impeachment inquiry. the president's legal team will have until december 5th to file a petition for the supreme court to take up the case, which could happen by the end of the court's june 2020 term. if the justices decline, the lower court's ruling to release the documents will stand. and house speaker nancy pelosi is speaking out on yesterday's court decision, requiring don mcgahn, the former white house counsel, to comply with the house subpoena, after a federal court ruled that quote no one is above the law. she said this is in a statement. the courts have been clear. the president's insistence that he is above the law is an offense to our constitution and to every american. today's district court decision in the mcgahn case is yet another resounding ruling that the administration's lame of absolute immunity from congress' subpoenas has no basis in the law or our democracy, and must

immediately cease. federal prosecutors in new york issued subpoenas to people with ties to president trump's personal lawyer, rudy giuliani. as part of a very broad federal investigation into possible money laundering. the obstruction of justice, and campaign finance violations. people familiar with the matter telling the "the wall street journal," prosecutors are seeking documents and correspondence with giuliani, his consulting firm, or quote any related person or entity, as well as documents, quote, related to any actual or potential payments or agreements with the former mayor. a senior law enforcement official telling nbc news that the subpoenas which were sent out around the time of the case becoming public represented the starting point of the investigation. giuliani's attorney, robert costello, issued a statement to nbc news, saying in part, this, mr. giuliani has not received any requests from the southern district of new york. if they ask for something, we will gladly comply in order to put this speculation to rest. mr. giuliani has done nothing

wrong. as far as other people receiving subpoenas, we do not know who they are or what they have been asked but we are unconcerned because mr. giuliani has done nothing wrong. yesterday, the president was asked about giuliani's recent comments that he has a quote insurance policy to prevent the president from turning on him. take a look at this. >> have you talked to president trump in the last week or two, have you met with him, are you still his counsel? >> i do not discuss my conversations with my client. you can assume that i talk to him early and often. yes. and have a very, very good relationship with him. and all of these comments, which are totally insulting, i mean i'd say things written like he is going to three me under the bus, when they say things like that, he isn't but i have insurance. >> what do you make of rudy giuliani saying he has insurance? >> i don't know, rudy is a great guy. he covered that himself, you know that. rudy is the best mayor in the history of new york, in my opinion, the strongest mayor,

the best mayor, rudy is a great crime fighter, corruption fighter, probably the best in 50 years, when he was here and also at the u.s. attorney in southern district. he was phenomenal. rudy is a great person. and i think that maybe the press isn't treating rudy very well and i think that sun fair, but rudy was a great mayor, and a great crime fighter. >> and back with us now our friend danny cevallos, nbc legal analyst, let's talk about president trump's taxes because on one day it seems like the public is going to see them and the next day there is some sort of injunction and offered , and sudden it feels like the public won't see them. is there anything house democrats can do now to ensure the lower court's ruling to release the president's tax returns will ultimately stand. >> absolutely. democrats are still in the game. in fact, they're the heavy favorites if you're into sports betting. as it is now, all the supreme court has done is issue a stay

and all that is saying is hey, let's just pause these proceedings while the trump side has the chance to brief the issue for the supreme court. it's not even a grant of what we call certiorari. it is not even a decision by the supreme court to take on the case. in fact, if they, they may deny certiorari, they acknowledged that in their very short order, and if they do, then the stay automatically disappearance. so this is hardly a win. the heavy favorites are still the democrats in this battle. >> let's talk about rudy giuliani here, being a part of this broader federal investigation. and we're hearing now this news about the subpoenas being issued to people connected to rudy giuliani and the president subsequently as well, seeing that rudy giuliani is the personal lawyer now of the president. giuliani's attorneys basically saying they have not received any requests. they do not know of these requests or who they were issued to. what does this mean for the former mayor? and also for someone who used to

work for the southern district of new york and was known as a very hardened dedicated prosecutor. >> it doesn't bode well. and i'm not that surprised that rudy himself has not received subpoenas. this is a government prosecutor or investigation 101. subpoena all the people around the person that you may be targeting, because those folks may not have any criminal liability and they don't want to argue with the government, they don't want any trouble, they're not going to put up a fit and they're going to hand over documents, where as if you go after your target, your subject, then that person may fight back, and they may assert privilege, they may assert the fifth amendment, they play do all kinds of different things. i'm just saying hypothetically here. but if you are someone, and you find that the government is subpoenaing a bunch of other people in your circle, and not you directly, that is cause to be concerned. >> let's just review what he is possibly facing here, possibly money laundering, obstruction of justice and campaign finance

violations. not necessarily something that you can make you feel good if you're rudy giuliani right now with what is going on around you. >> no, not at all. >> danny cevallos, appreciate it. still ahead the race for president, a four-way race in one early voting state and the key advantage held by bernie sanders. >> plus elizabeth warren finally has a democratic rival that she is willing to attack directly, that is michael bloomberg. the first look at "morning joe" is back in a bit. sundown vitamins are all non-gmo, made with naturally sourced colors and flavors and are gluten & dairy free. they're all clean. all the time. even if sometimes we're not. sundown vitamins. all clean. all the time.

up. biden is the next closest in that regard, with 37%. and back with us this morning, is political reporter for the washington examiner, emily larsen. and emily, let's get into your new reporting on elizabeth warren and how she didn't attack any candidates directly until michael bloomberg entered the race, and that seems to have changed her calculus entirely. >> yes, certainly, elizabeth warren when asked about other candidates on the campaign trail and even during democratic debate, she would basically say that she is running her own campaign, maybe indirectly referenced them when talking about policies, but she has sort of made herself the enemy of the billionaires in her campaign. she has run ads calling out specific billionaires for things that she thinks they did wrong. she takes pride in, she says on the campaign trail, billionaires crying about her proposed wealth tax on ultra millionaires and billionaires. and she is even selling a billionaire cheers mug in her

campaign shop. so in one sense it is no surprise that she is attacking michael bloomberg directly, but she is going after him pretty personally. and accusing him of trying to by the election. to which bloomberg has refuted saying he has spent his entire life trying to fight for causes that he believes in. and so i think that bloomberg is going to have a tough time trying to get his message out, beng a billionaire, when you have people like elizabeth warren and bernie sanders and a whom lot of other candidates, with the late entry of the campaign. >> >> nothing like monetizing with a mug when attacking a billionaire. >> and as we nudge closer and closer to the country's first primary, i understand elizabeth warren has floated the possibility of an all woman ticket, talk to us about this. >> yes, certainly, elizabeth warren was in iowa, yesterday, and when asked about whether she would nominate a woman to be her

vice presidential pick, she said that that was presumptuous, but wouldn't she, and a little bit of a change from what she heard before and has remained open to the idea before and said in the past she would not make the best person for a job and maybe a shift and maybe a hint that she is looking at some women to be her vice presidential picks and this is something we have seen from other candidates as well. joe biden recently floated some idea that he would nominate a woman, and cory booker has pledged to nominate a woman as his vice presidential pick. and so i think gender, the politics there, is going to be very important for the democratic ticket. and i would expect, i'm expecting we're probably going to see at least one ticket, woman on the democratic ticket, whether it is top of ticket or vice presidential pick, if things keep going the way they're going. >> any names from warren, emily? >> no names from warren. she said it was presumptuous of her to float that.

but joe biden did indirectly reference some people, two senators from new hampshire, and also sally yates. so that would be pretty interesting that he would directly name these people. >> incredibly interesting. emily larsen, thank you so much. appreciate it. let's take a turn now and get a check on your weather once again with nbc meteorologist bill kairns. >> let's address storm two. and you know it is serious when they're telling people in southern organize to get to their destinations by noon today in oregon or you risk getting stranded on the roads and asking people not to travel until wednesday afternoon. so a 24-hour period, they're telling people this storm will have a huge impact. all of the bright white is the clouds. we can't show you the radar because the radar only shoots off the coast about 100, 200 miles here. one of the strongest storms in a while. it moves onshore today. the blue here is snow. code cold enough for significant snow at the lower elevations so

all of the passes are extremely difficult. and snow chains probably required. and road closures probably out of this. the winds strong at the coast, 70 miles an hour and we expect power outages, too. so that's not what you want to deal with as you're heading into the holiday, either. and some of the waves at the coast would be up to 30-foot waves. how crazy is that? so san francisco, the rain for you, late today, and in portland, it looks like maybe a little bit of rain and a lot of them, the majority of the storm though is going to hit south of you and wednesday, this whole thing kicks down through southern california and airport problems, early in the day in san francisco. and los angeles, it looks like a line of showers and storms going through, a possibility of delays and also there in las vegas. and as far as the roads go, of course, driving on 80, we have to see if this is going to be open, when the heaviest of snow goes through and then even though the grapevine here, on a, it could have some snow in the lower elevations. this is the snow map and yasmin loves to ski so she likes this map but everyone where you see the red is a foot of snow.

telluride is getting nailed. flagstaff is getting nailed. southern cascades, friends around yellowstone and jackson hole. just about every ski resort is, you know, you just have to get there. >> i was going to say, thanksgiving weekend is usually the weekend a lot of resorts are opening up their mountains. >> they don't count on it being a big ski weekend but this year, yes. another record day on wall street. the stories driving your business day, coming up next. ut and are gluten & dairy free. they're all clean. all the time. even if sometimes we're not. sundown vitamins. all clean. all the time. - [woman] with my shark, i deep clean messes like this, this, and even this. but i don't have to clean this, because the self-cleaning brush roll removes hair while i clean. - [announcer] shark, the vacuum that deep cleans now cleans itself. i am all about living joyfully.

advertising community. >> joumanna, it looked like there had been some demand. did they pon up y up the money the ad? >> neither side had comment and no contract has been signed, but the sports journal reported last week that the trump re-election campaign has been in contact with fox and they have agreed on, quote, the broad terms to air an ad during the game in the is unprecedented, never in the history of super bowl has there been a political ad aired during the game, especially in a year of the campaign and the re-election year as well. >> thanks as well have some. >> thanks. coming up, we have a look at this morning's one big thing. and coming up on "morning joe," a major win for congress as it fits the efforts to stonewall the impeachment investigation. we'll dig into the ruling that challenged the president's claim of what he called absolute immunity and why it may be

welcome back, everybody. joining us from washington, we look at axios a.m. political reporter for axios, alexi. talk to us about axios one big thing today. >> in case you missed, there are now officially three billionaires running for president in the 2020 cycle. that includes tom steyer, michael bloomberg who is the latest to get into the race, and donald trump. and all three of those billionaire candidates have collectively spent two-thirds of all ad dollars spent in the cycle so far. that die nam take this we're watching play out in realtime matters for someone like senator elizabeth warren on bernie sapdesap sanders, the ones who have sworn off and distancing themselves from the super wealthy and using small dollars to fund their campaigns in this psych.

>> let's talk about mayor pete because he's always punched above his weight when it comes to raising money. you have potential fundraising opportunities for buttigieg. what can you tell us about that? >> he's raised large sums of money, to the surprise of many. but one thing that's about to change is this lucky break that he finds himself facing. we talk a lot about pete as a presidential candidate. we don't talk with about his time as mayor. at the end of the january his term will come to an end that and allows him to receive funding from financial institutions who right now they are barred to donating to city elected officials because it looks like they're in a pay to play scheme of sorts. that will open up different avenues for him to get funding.

he's shown great strength in fund raising and he might not need that support. but when his term ends adds mayor he'll have an opportunity to get money from those folks. >> there's been this slow walk of climate change emerging as a key issue in 2020 and now we are here and it very much is. what is axios reporting about the impact it has on the presidential race? >> what's fascinating is when we think become to past presidential election cycles we wouldn't talk a lot about climate change on the national debate stage. certainly things like the green new deal were not in the political discourse at that time. but now we cannot have a presidential debate without those folks talking about climate change. but it's more than just them talking about climate change on the stage. they're recognizing it as a crisis. other refer to it as the existential threat of our time. you cannot look at a candidate's policy platform without seeing a
