so, i'm glad to be a part of where it's going and the future of #metoo, time's up. so, yeah -- >> yeah. i'm in. i'm in. >> that's all for this edition of "dateline." i'm craig melvin. thank you for watching. melvin thank you for watching good morning, i'm dara brown in new york at msnbc world headquarters. it is 6:00 in the east. 3:00 out west. here's what's happening. the calendar gets crowded in the impeachment inquiry. dramatic steps in washington ahead of new hearings this week. on the road again, a democratic candidate opens up about whether there should be infight eight among the candidates. a new round of storms about to hit the east and west. mus, the early holiday shopping numbers and why so many skipped the lines to seek out online deals. we start with day 69 of the

impeachment inquiry and after a long holiday weekend, congress is getting ready for what's shaping up to be another busy week in its investigation. overnight, the house intelligence committee announcing it will vote tuesday on chairman adam schiff's impeachment report, which will make the case for the removal of president trump. committee members will be able to see a draft of that report as soon as mon. after tuesday's vote, the impeachment spotlight turns to the committee scheduling its hearing on wednesday. chairman jerry nadler, giving him two deadlines to participate in these hearings. he has until tonight to decide whether he has a lawyer to wait until friday to see if he wants to call his own witness, all this including how democrats have no intention of slowing down the pace of their investigation. the washington post reporting, tuesday's meeting keeps the house on a trajectory to possibly approve articles of

impeachment before christmas. setting up a senate trial for trump's removal early in the year. >> impeachment fatigue is real and if it continues to drag on, we could get hurt. the country can get hurt. >> joining me now is scott long, senior staff writer covering house leadership for the hill. good morning to you, scott. the house intelligence committee will be handling the impeachment vote 24 hours later. is this a quick turn around or will the vote mostly be a formality? >> no, things are moving at an extremely fast pace. if you think about it, the nixon impeachment lasted for about a year or longer. we have condensed, excuse me, this impeachment process into about two month, if it's into december or christmas, it will only be three or four months. so things have been condensed into a very quick pace. we're looking forward to a jam packed week, monday, as you

know, as you mentioned, the report will be the first opportunity that intelligence committee members will be able to see this report that has been compiled from all of the testimony that we heard over recent weeks and then tuesday they vote on it and we'll forward that to jerry nadler. that's essentially the handoff from the intelligence committee to the judiciary committee. which is kicking off its own set of hearings this week. >> scott, will there be anything in this report that's new to members? >> i don't think so. i mean i think at least for the membership, they have heard hours and hours of closed-door testimony in the skiff then these moved into the public televised hearings we all saw over the last couple weeks and i don't think there will be anything new. although, you know, there has been some new developments in the news reports, so there may be some mentions to recent

articles that have come out. i don't think by march there will be anything major substantively that will be in this report that will be new. >> and president trump is tweeting about this saying last night, i will be representing our country in london at nato, while the democrats are holding the most ridiculous impeachment hearings in history. read the transcripts. nothing was done or said wrong! the radical left is underconduct our country. hearings scheduled on same days as nato. scott, what is your reaction to that? >> well, "the washington post" had a great article the other day how the president has been striving during this impeachment process to look busy, to look presidential, to sort of act as if it's business as usual in the white house, obviously, going over to afghanistan, serving turkey to the troops, honoring the fallen soldiers at dover, now he will be pivoting to the nato trip in london.

however, behind all of that, the president has continued to tweet about what he sees as a witch hunt or a scam process in terms of impeachment and i expect as we saw during the last two weeks of hearings in intelligence committee that the president will be paying attention closely as things shift to the judiciary committee and i think we can probably expect the president will be tweeting some of his thoughts and comments during the judiciary committee hearings. >> and on that point, do you think president trump will decide to involve coup sell or call witnesses for the judiciary hearings by those two upcoming deadlines, they have been set by congressman jerry fad ler? >> yeah, that's clearly up in the air. the white house has been debating whether sending counsel or representatives to make a defence for the president to, you know, object to some of the

things the democrats are raising to perhaps call their own witnesses in these judiciary hearings. this is something that's still being debated in the white house. the concern, of course, that by doing so, that could validate the democrat's impeachment process. and so, right now, we don't know whether we will see any sort of representation. they could simply say that the republicans on the committee will be sufficient enough representatives for the president. >> so much to digest on this sunday morning. thank you for joining us. >> reporter: thank you. let's bring in our two lawyers. both are msnbc legal analysts. glenn, let's start with you. what do you expect to see in this report from chairman schiff? >> well, i expect we'll see a summary of the testimony of the 12 witnesses that were presented and that testified and i'm

hopeful we won't necessarily see a party line vote coming out of the house intel committee as they're handing it off to chairman nadler and the judiciary committee. i fear that we probably will see a party line vote. i do hope people will take a moment to reflect on each vote they cast and think about what kind of a government we want moving forward and do we want to be able to self police our government officials when they engage in what can only be described as misconduct. >> katie, to you, from what we've seen and read from the intelligence committee hearings, do you think they have enough solid everyday for this report? >> i think they have beyond and to the exclusion of every reasonable doubt. but, okay, there is no applicable standard that has to be done when it comes to this process. i think this was a really crucial part of the procedure. we're really focusing heavily on how that occurs and really the distillation of several

witnesses into one report. i don't expect it will be mueller-report style. it won't be 400-plus pages. it will be an opportunity for the american public, those people that didn't have the benefit of the opportunity to be able to watch the public testimony to be able to read the substance of what was set forth and i think it ends up being compelling reading. but again, we are a you know very visual american public. we like to see things. that's why those public hearings were so amazing, must-watch tv kind of stuff so i think you take this evidence, you distill it into one report and you see schiff passing the baton over to chairman nadler to then begin the next part of the process, which is the house judiciary committee's drafth of articles of impeachment. assuming that they vote to impeach that way. >> it is certainly going to be a busy woke ahead. we will be back to talk about how the judiciary committee ones will be different from the ones

the intelligence committee just held. we have breaking news this morning. winter storm sweeps across the country on one of the busiest travel days in the year. several inches fell on the roads saturday. and parts-of-south dakota were hit with more than a foot of snow. now the northeast the bracing for winter weather as millions travel home after the thanksgiving weekend. nbc's janessa webb is with us. how much snow could we see and how long? >> location is key heir. we have this major storm system that continues to flow through the northeast, with several million under a winter weather alerts and concerns. a busy travel day. people are traveling back from a winter break. we are getting reports over an hour for o'hare, delays. and that's going to continue for at least the next 24-to-36 hours. even minneapolis seeing widespread snow. now we seen already about 30 inches in some spots to the west

and some fatalities in south dakota, where they've seen over a foot. now, this storm system will continue to track to the northeast. it will transition into rain, predominantly from philly, washington, boston this morning before we see a dividing line of a little bit of freezing rain and then that's when things start to get dicey. it transition more into major snow event into your monday. so expect delays from new york to boston accumulation. we are look at totals for interior new york up to a foot. there we could see a good coating for new york city and this will be our first official snowfall. >> oh, so not ready for it. even though it is december 1st. nbc's janessa webb. . new details on the london bridge. british media is identifying one of the victims killed on friday as a 25-year-old graduate of the university of cambridge. merritt's father described him as a beautiful spirit who took

the side of the underdog. merritt helped to organize the prisoner reform conference where the stabbings began. police have declined to confirm his identity, saying they are rating a coroner's report and forensic teams are still collecting the evidence from the scene. we are learn tag president trump has called prime minister boris johnson. what more you can tell us about that? >> reporter: yeah that phone call happened in the wake of the london bridge attack. meanwhile, you know, there is political fallout here in the uk from what unfolded at the london bridge earlier in the week. keep in mind that the general election here is just 12 days away and the attack has quickly become political. at issue, the fact that the convicted terrorist of a suspect at the heart of the attack was out of prison only serving half

his sentence between after he had been previously convicted of plotting to bomb a number of targets, including the one on the new york stock exchange at the us embassy, today, prime minister boris johnson taking tough questions on the bbc sunday show. he conceded that con should not have been out of prison and vowed if he is reelected, there would be tougher sentence for serious offenders, take a listen. >> we were told he was under strict conditions when he was let out. what strict conditions were they? >> well, there were a number of conditions attached. >> which ones? >> license, i'm not going through the details. he had strict conditions, i do, i've seen them. let's be frank, they were not nothing being capable of being done could have really changed the way he behaved, could have changed the way he behaved. the problem was that this individual should have been in prison and he -- there was no question -- >> since he was let out, under the conservatives, this is the

conservative decision. >> it changes the law. >> they have been in parliament for ten years. >> reporter: in that interview, he noted there are over 70 other convicted criminal was have been allowed out on early release and acknowledgeed that that's a concern. >> thank you so much for that report live from london for us. next up on the 2020 trail, joe biden on a bus. can his barn storming through iowa reverse his fortunes in the hawkeye state? and later, black friday sales figures are released. early indications how generous americans might be this holiday season. are signs of joint erosion. humira can help stop the clock. prescribed for 15 years, humira targets and blocks a source of inflammation that contributes to joint pain and irreversible damage.

we have breaking news out of new orleans where police say ten people have been shot on canal street in the french quarter. no word on their condition. police detained someone near the scene of the shooting, but it is unclear if that person has anything to do with the shooting. we will keep you informed if anything develops. we are 20 day ace way from early voting. democratic candidates continue to make a final push there and in other early voting states. kamela harris is at a house party in des moines, she addressed an article whether we should fight among the candidates. >> of course we're going to fight. we were a nation that was born out of a fight.

there is nothing we have achieved in our nation that has been about progress, social justice, civil rights, your ongoing fight for equality. nothing we have achieved has been about progress in our nation came without a fight. yelz yeelizabeth warren was chicago. and amy klobuchar made a stop to north carolina. joe biden kicked off an eight-day bus tour in iowa. we will be following him on that trip. >> reporter: well, one day down, seven more to go in the no malarkey joe biden bus tour. this is an opportunity the biden campaign says for him to really hone in on voters as they're beginning to really decide their final choice for the iowa caucus. a big crowd of candidates, families gather around the kitchen table. they're beginning to make that decision the purpose is fewer

podium speeches, no joe biden on the teleprompter. he will be leading voters where they are in small communities like he did saturday in council bluffs, like three events on sunday. the purpose here while joe bind may not be the front runner anymore. many show pete buttigieg with them. they believe the football one issue is who can beat donald trump. as we heard dr. jill bind on this bus tour say just on saturday that beating donald trump starts here and there is only one candidate in this race who can win pennsylvania works can win michigan, who can win florida. that's the ball game. that's what voters say is the most important for them and what joe biden wants to do over the course of the next eight days. >> thanks. we will have more as he travels along with joe biden's campaign. joining me now is a reporter from from yahoo news. what do you think about this no malarkey bus tour? >> reporter: here's the thing as

we already heard already that biden is suffering in iowa, really that's because of the surge that pete buttigieg has been seeing can vapsing around there, while he has been there, he is paying attention at this part of the contest. she doing well in south carolina in super tuesday states. overall, we can't forgive he hasn't been dropping below 26% when it comes to support across the nation for his candidacy so while he is suffering in iowa, this bus tour really shows he has the potential to gain more there than he has in the past. >> but his campaign is saying it's not worried about falling behind in the iowa polls. how much do you think the bus tour will tell a different story? >> the whole tour is going to really put his name out there in front of those people who are paying attention at this point and as we appear around the holiday season, we're being inundated by the impeachment inquiry he has to keep his name forefront in most of these

voters minds. so this bus tour is going to mean a lot for his candidacy, keeping his name out there as much as possible as he is going to be facing surges from other candidates like warren, like cappe sanders and pete buttigieg. >> kamela harris, what do you make of the headline, is her candidacy still in trouble? >> reporter: from the harris campaign we've seen what has been a huge flop given that she has a rising start beginning early this year and did a wonderful performance during the first democratic debates. however, we seen her polling dropped significantly. she's addressed the infighting that the democrats are going to take on to basically show that they can beat trump. but we also have to address the infighting that's going on in her own campaign. there are many leadership issues we are hearing about, financial troubles, right now what the harris campaign is trying to figure out is how do they real e really represent themselves

among voters, whether they make that message clear, whether that's too late in the game where we see we have a few months ahead of us where voters are going to the polls to decide who they want to be the nominee? >> so how does she pick up the momentum she had early on? >> as we see, she is going on tours, talking in living rooms, at cafe, trying to get up close to people to get to know her as a politician career long but as a person, her campaign said in many reports they're going to let her be kamela harris, that's being the personable person she is, coming across as a warm leader instead of a politician who is kind of split between california and all the places she's been on the east coast and mid-west. >> katie, as i mentioned before, elizabeth warren was in chicago. she took a jab at mayor pete buttigieg when asked on his idea of free college tuition. let's listen. >> look, if there are people running for president who think

it's more important to protect the 2 cents of the millionaires and billionaires, i'm ready to have that fight. >> so this plays right into what we heard kamela harris article fighting amongst democratic candidates. so do you think this fighting is a real problem? >> reporter: it might be considering that most voters at this stage are really focused on who can beat trump, not necessarily who is going up again each other in their own party. i think what warren is trying to say is she is trying to keep her footing against the most progressive candidate out there with the most forceful ambitious policy. when it comes to candidates more moderate or conservative especially at the top of the polls, she's trying to make sure she's a different candidate from the candidates put forth next to her. >> thanks for breaking it down for us this sunday morning. well, mayor pete buttigieg

pa kathy park at new york's laguardia airport. this week president trump enters a new phase on chairman schiff's report laying out a case for impeachment. the investigation will move to the judiciary committee with the first picked lick hearing scheduled for wednesday. with me legal analysts. katie, what do you think these hearings are going to look like? how different will this be from the intelligence committee hearing? >> reporter: so these are going to be public hearings. the first one will be on wednesday beginning at 10:00 a.m. during the course of these public hearings for the first time there will be the invitation, which has been extended by chairman nadler to donald trump to attend with or without his counsel. we already know that donald trump tweeted he will be doing work at nato on wednesday. if i'm donald trump and my bottom line is, will i be impeached and eventually convicted and removed from officer, i would certainly send counsel to actually watch,

observe and participate in the process, nadler has invited trump to have counsel appear to present witnesses and to question witness. in terms of actually i want to clarify, not present witnesses on behalf of trump. the gop, the republicans can suggest witnesses that nadler can approve. ultimately the goal of the house judiciary committee is to conduct these hearings so they can vote on whether they can proceed with impeachment and, if so, what are the particular articles of impeachment that will be drafted. >> reporter: jerry nadler is giving the president an opportunity to participate in these hearings. do you think it's a good idea to send lawyers or call his own witnesses? >> it depending on whether he has a legitimate defense to these allegations. so if your conduct is defensible, then i think you absolutely have your lawyers go, participate and lay out your defense. if your conduct is not defensible, then i think you

probably sit on the side lines and hide behind your cell phone and send tweet bombs throughout the proceedings. now, the president will be signature on that bench on the side lines. he's been invited to step onto the playing field and actually defend himself. let's see if like the ambassador yovanovitch's and the dr. fiona hill, whether he is going to woman up and send his lawyers to defend him or if he's going to sit on the side line, hide behind his cell phone and send tweet bombs about the ill legitimacy of the proceedings. if i had to bet a dollar of my own money, i will bet he will remain on the sidelines. >> katie, what is the republican's best defense right now? >> so far the only thing we've heard and remember the goal posts keep on moving, originally there was no quo to the quid pro

quo. then there is a witch hunt. there is no "there" there. trump tweeted yesterday it is still the perfect calm. it's not a real defense. if i'm trump, it is an opportunity to preview my defense by being able to planned those seeds of doubt in the public. fundamentally, you are going to see not a railroading. it's not going to be a kangaroo court or anything like that. in fact, heavily what will occur on wednesday is an education provided to the american public as to what do the framers mean when they say high crimes and misdemeanors. we will hear from four scholars. they will explain what the impeachment concept is that predates somebody like donald trump and why did the framers intend on putting that remedy there to be able remove somebody like a corrupt president like donald trump. so i think if you have the opportunity to watch and listen. if you are a member of the american public, not only will members of congress get that in

house judiciary, people will learn and understand this is a political process. it's not a criminal one. but it's meant to lead the dictator in the oval office like donald trump. >> real quick, what is the democrat's best legal argument, katie? sorry. i wanted to follow up on that, what's for the democrats their best legal argument? >> their best legal argument is that the united states constitution allows for impeachment for treason, which doesn't apply here and bribery and high crimes and misdemeanor, the abuse of power which was something brought effectively during the nixon investigation and procedure and process is something that more than adequately applies to donald trump so the democrats can rely on objective, hard facts. this is not spin. this is not the politicization of the facts. glen would agree with me based on that presentation, there will be an inescapable articles of

impeachment for a minimum abuse of power. >> you were talking about the tweet bombs, he tweeted this article last night, where senator tim scott says trump is innocent and no way they convict. senators are supposed to be impartial jurors in this potential trial. what do you make of that? >> you know it would be nice as jurors in a criminal trial are told that you are not permitted to make any determination until all of the evidence is presented to you and you retoo irto glen i begin your deliberations, unfortunately, it doesn't look like our politicians are up to the task of being fair and impartial jurors. so we'll have to wait to see how that plays out. >> glen, if the house draws articles of impeachment and president trump is acquitted by the senate, could he still be in legal trouble? >> he certainly could, once he leaves office, he could be indicted for any criminal conduct he committed while in office. of course that horrific aoc memo

says you couldn't indict a president while in office. hopefully, that is one of the many reforms we will take up in a post-trump era. but after he leaves officer, if there is enough evidence to charge him for either federal crimes or new york state trooims crimes, you bet he can be indicted. >> always great to have you here on this morning. thanks so much for your time. >> thanks, dara. well, next, early numbers on friday shopping. is it still the busiest shopping day of the year? y of the year? it'll ruin your house. so get allstate and be better protected from mayhem, like meow. janie, come here. check this out. let me see. she looks... kind of like me. yeah. that's because it's your grandma when she was your age.

the first big weekend of the holiday shopping season wraps up today. the early numbers show more people are skipping the lines and seeking out online deals. friday sales fell by 6.2% compared to the same time last yearment that decline came with a spike in online shopping, where shoppers spent $7.4 billion to hit an all time record for today. a reporter for yahoo fngs joins us, even considering these numbers, black friday is still the busiest shopping day of the year s. that status becoming outdated? >> no, we're still seeing record sales on black friday. but online. so $7.4 billion in online sales on black friday. when it comes to sales if physical stores, we're seeing a significant drop so it's down 6.2% compared to last year. people did head out of their

houses on thanksgiving day, put down the turkey a little bit. we did see a spike if sales in physical stores. it went up 2.3%. by black friday, that i chose to stay at ohio we saw a surge if online sales. >> in recent years, it's been extended. most box stores on thanksgiving day. some move door buster deals to wednesday. so has this contributed to the decline in the big black friday rush? >> reporter: it might contributed to a decline in going to stores, not online. a lot of retailers have been worried us a there is less days between thanksgiving and christmas. so they have been advertising the black friday/cyber monday sales and they have been handsomely rewarded. when it comes to physical sales, we seen those drop, stores like macy's, kohl's, foot locker have

been struggling in getting consumers to show up at the stores. those retailers are focused on ecommerce and online sales have significantly benefitted from that. some of the winners are from walmart, target and amazon. >> interesting, black friday, if it becomes less important, how does this affect department stores? many already are struggling to stay athroat? >> when it comes to these department stores, that i have to double down on delivery. when you see retailers that have been successful, walmart, target and amazon, they've invested in hiring a lot more workers and also offering delivery services that are stand out for consumers, walmart promising to deliver goods directly to your fridge, amazon and target trying to get it to you as quickly as possible within an hour so that's where the game is at. retailers who don't understand that, they're being left behind.

>> thank you so much. now we're all going to have to go shopping again. thank you so much. >> cyber monday is coming tomorrow. that will be a big one. >> we'll be there. we'll be online remembers turning now to presidential candidate kamela harris, she is speaking out for the first time since reports of her campaign are in disarray. she talks about the elephant in the room. does that address the issue? that's coming up next. and now more on that breaking news out of new orleans where police say ten people have been shot. it occurred on canal street in the french quarter. we are told there are no fatalities. two people are critically wound. police have obtained a person of interest in that shooting. the mome and taking ibrance. ibrance with an aromatase inhibitor is for postmenopausal women or for men with hr+/her2- metastatic breast cancer, as the first hormonal based therapy.

the elephant in the room. details of infighting within her campaign were all revealed last week in multiple reports, which ultimately question the california's senator's electability. joining me is a political commentator and talk show host. rashad, good to have you here this morning. >> thank you. >> she seemed to question her success and convincing voters to elect her as president. do you think she has a winning message? >> well, her campaign is crumbling. that's the problem. remember in june she was actually at 15% nationally. she's the only candidate to experience such an extreme bump and then an extreme decline so when we talk about the argument of electability, where a whole lot of people in the united states thought she was quite sh capitalized on the moment. she then dropped to 4.3%. you know who is at roughly 4.3%?

bloomberg. and bloomberg is mr. stop and frisk, a white male billionaire running in a democratic primary. that is a problem and i don't think it's all connected to the argument of electability. i think there have been some real missteps in her campaign and i do not believe she has really capitalized on the messaging of her campaign to connect with the core base of voters moving into the early caucus and primary states. >> let's talk about those missteps. what are your thoughts on the criticism she's facing and how can she bounce back from there in iowa? >> some of the criticism comes because there's infighting not only with the campaign, but also with family members. according to reports, her sister, maya, who is chair of the campaign, has been in some type of disagreement with rodriguez who is the campaign manager, rodriguez as you know had to lay off a lot of workers due to overspending and targeting and that caused a lot of friction. at the end of the day even supporters of senator harris are saying, well, she is the head of

the campaign, regardless of what's happening with other staff members, she can bounce back. there is room to do so. some of the early primary states i think she will do better, but remember, places like iowa in all due respect to iowa it is the whitest primary in this whole contest. so she's not going to do stellar in places like iowa, but look for her to make up ground as she stays in the campaign in places like south carolina, georgia, florida and alabama. >> and, rashad, let's switch gears to former vice president joe biden, he's making three separate stops today in his no malarkey iowa bus tour. biden is trying to draw sharper contrasts between him and the president. watch what he had to say yesterday. >> we are running a no malarkey tour meaning we're telling the truth, we are not going to lie. i'm going to be straight with you tonight. donald trump in my view has done real and lasting damage to

communities like this one and all across america. >> what is biden's political strategy behind this iowa bus tour? >> he's going to rural iowa because there are a lot of farmers in iowa who have been adversely affected by the tariffs that trump decided to implement without really consulting with members of his own team before doing so. this is a good strategy for joe biden moving into the election and really this was one of the big weaknesses of the democratic party last time. they did not talk to working class individuals or rural individuals in the same way, i think biden wants to make sure this mistake does not happen again. he doesn't have to win iowa, iowa has 49 delegates, 41 of them are pledged which also means they have to earn those delegates. he just has to do well in iowa moving into other states after that where he is favored to be the top runner. so iowa, not a must win, but definitely a place where he must

do well. >> now to mayor pete buttigieg because he's going to be coming to the former state naacp president reverend william barber's church in north carolina today to compete for votes within the african-american community. so what does he need to do to connect with that voting block? >> well, mayor pete has to continue to develop relationships. a lot of his issue with the african-american community is the fact that people don't know him and he has not built a relationship with individuals who are gatekeepers in the african-american community. he's trying to do that now. i'm not sure if he has a lane here, to be quite honest, because people really like biden within the black community and also booker and harris, they're continuing to lobby for those votes as well. mayor pete is making a good effort. he made an early effort when he first started running with reverend al sharpton, i thought that was a good look, but this is part of his weakness as a campaign and every campaign has

a weakness so he's doing what he needs to do to try to overcome that. >> and there are also headlines criticizing buttigieg's relationship with the latino hispanic community. how can he increase his reach out to these minorities? >> well, he needs to message. he needs to articulate a message that connects to the core group. if he doesn't articulate a message that really connects with this group, he is out in the cold for sure and i think mayor pete is trying his absolute best to say, hey, not only am i blog sieve on these issues but i understand these issues. he is the only candidate who came out with a plan for black america, one of the minority groups he needs to win this democratic primary but it was criticized because the actual plan lacked investment from the community he says he wants this plan to serve. >> interesting. rashad richey, great to have you in breaking this down for us this morning. thanks so much for being here. >> thank you. don't miss my colleague david gura's interview today with reverend william barber. they will be talking about

buttigieg's visit to his church. that is aup happening on "up" with david gura at 8:00 a.m. eastern. how a massive storm system could snarl travel plans for people trying to get home after the thanksgiving weekend. for people trying to get home after the thanksgiving weekend all the time.
