good morning. 10:00 a.m. eastern, 7:00 a.m. pacific. cyber monday could mark the biggest online shopping day ever as consumers look to spend big on the web. meanwhile, a rare sight in china. massive protests erupt.

we'll explain why and bring you the very latest. and with just eight days until decision day in georgia, voters are headed to the polls as a senate runoff there intensifies. this morning, fresh fallout over former president trump dinner with a white supremacist at his florida were residence. two people rescued after a small plane slammed into a power transmission tower in maryland last night. and brazil takes on switzerland at the world cup without one of their key star players. we'll bring you the latest from qatar. we begin this busy hour with cyber monday. it could be the biggest online shopping day ever. consumers are expected to spend a record-breaking $11.2 billion

in online orders today. it comes after black friday sales toptd $9 billion, also a record. providing a much needed boost after an autumn slump in sales. joining us now is nbc news brian chung at an amazon facility in new jersey. brian, good morning. what can shoppers expect today? >> reporter: good morning, jose. shoppers can expect a continuation of the discounts we have seen through the weekend. adobe analytics saying discounts on computer, toys and apparel were among the steepest this weekend. again, cyber monday, as you mentioned, over $11 billion expected to be spent today. that would be more than the $9 billion spent on friday, which would make cyber monday a bigger deal than black friday, which is why we are here at this amazon facility in robbinsville, new jersey where plenty of packages just like this one are being moved across the many lines and

robots and hands that are working here at this facility. over 5,000 people working here for the peak holiday season to move packages just like these. underscoring how high the activity has been over this busy spending holiday. >> brian, what's the latest with the strikes at amazon? >> reporter: yeah. well, there were protests last friday. it was called the make amazon pay protest. these were workers arguing that amazon should pay higher real wages, should pay a fair share of income tax in europe and put cut back on carbon emissions. he said these groups representative a variety of interests. if you objectively look at what amazon is doing on these important matters, you will see we do take our role and impact very seriously. but not acting the scene out here in robbinsville, new jersey. >> brian, good to see you. thank you very much for being

with us this morning. now, to the extraordinary scenes of defiance playing out in cities across china. people taking to the streets, demanding freedom, along with an end to lockdowns. testing and other tough measures to contain covid. some holding blank sheets of paper to pro test censorship of the government. just a short time ago the white house weighed in staying, we have long said everyone has a right to peacefully protest. in the united states and around the world. this includes the people's republic of china. nbc's janis mackey frayer joins us from beijing. good morning. how extraordinary are these protests? >> reporter: well, what's been remarkable is that zero covid as a policy has created this common denominator among people in china. where in every corner of the country, people of all

backgrounds, all become brackets are all fed up in the same way. so we see these happening simultaneously in multiple cities was quite unprecedented. some dared to openly call for xi jinping to step down. that is unheard of in china. this swell of anger was triggered by a deadly apartment fire. fire crews three hours to put the flames out. we saw the videos emerging of candlelight vigils and the shows of frustration. because when we're talking about zero covid here, jose, we are talking about restrictions that control every aspect of daily life. there is this sprawling system of testing and quarantines and surveillance. and so people have this experience with the system. what they don't have is experience with the virus

itself. because the government hasn't scaled up vaccinations in the same way as they have scaled up this infrastructure for containing the virus. so we have what is an immunity gap here at a time when cases are now at a record high. the challenge of course is that there is no clear exit plan from zero covid. and now it will be difficult for the communist party to try to quell this unrest. if they crackdown on protests, it will infuriate people more. but if they ease restrictions and ease it, it is that the success is not what it is claimed to be. >> thank you so much. this morning a terrifying rescue 100 feet above the ground after a small plane crashed into high voltage power lines last night in maryland. take a look at it. it's up there.

the pilot and the passenger dangling above the ground. they turned off power. after seven hours they were able to rescue them. joining us from montgomery village, maryland is tom costello. what's the very latest? good to see you this morning. >> reporter: just an extraordinary rescue here in maryland, jose. i'm going to ask john, our photographer, to zoom in right now to the utility tower. you can see we've got utility crews that are right now working. they are shoring up that tower, that massive power tower, and also the lines, the utility lines. this happened 5:30 p.m. on sunday. the lights flickered across the county when this plane ran right into that tower and the rescue, as you said, took hours. danger and high drama more than 100 feet up. in the maryland suburbs outside of d.c., after a small plane crashed into high voltage power lines, leaving the pilot and the passenger hanging precariously

10 stories up. >> it's crazy. i've never seen anything like it. it looks like a scene out of a movie. >> reporter: emergency crews worked through the night, not only making sure the power was off but securing the plane so it did not fall during the rescue operation. >> number one priority is getting the bucket trucks up and getting the bonding and grounding secured and the plane secured. >> reporter: they managed to get them down after seven hours, took them to the hospital suffering from hypothermia. it departed from westchester county airport in new york sunday, before crashing into power lines near gaithersburg, maryland. it's not clear what caused the crash. but foggy conditions in the area hampered the rescue operation. >> i did see see the pilot waving his hand up and down to signal there is somebody in there that's alive. >> reporter: the pilot,

65-year-old patrick merkel and passenger pam williams. >> we are still in contact with the folks in the aircraft. >> reporter: it initially knocked out electricity to roughly 120,000 people. in the early morning hours, the plane lowered down from its precarious perch. investigators from the ntsb and faa will work together to try to determine what exactly caused this crash. it does appear this pilot was coming in too low. he should have been 300 feet off the ground when he was making his approach to the local airport. instead, he hit in about 100 feet off the ground. it was cold. they didn't have heat on, obviously. they couldn't grab anything inside the plane for fear they would tip the plane of. they were in a very precarious situation, getting colder by the minute, injured and waiting for

rescue which took, as we said, seven hours. back to you. >> unbelievable. tom costello, thank you so much. meanwhile in georgia, the senate runoff race between rafael warnock and republican herschel walker is heating up. with eight days until election day, more than 165,000 voters have already voted in person. joining us now is nbc news senior political editor mark murray and lisa rayem, host of morning edition of wabe radio in georgia. lisa, good morning. what are you hearing about how early voting is going so far? >> oh, my. i witnessed it firsthand. saturday 60,000 people flocked to the polls. and almost as many on sunday. there is a grand interest in this race still. this morning reverend rafael warnock granted us an interview. he said his game has changed.

he's on the ground more. he's knocking on doors. he's telling people this is the last time. their only chance to vote and have their say in this all-important race. so the interest is there. boy, you saw it at the polls this past weekend. yeah. mark, the ap characterized the state of the race as bitter noting the ads are getting permanent. what impact is this having on the race? >> well, jose, it was bitter in the general election. a lot of the ads haven't changed from them. most of the issues and the attacks we are seeing aren't on the issues themselves but at each man's character, what we are seeing. this really does all come down to turnout. what we end up seeing historically is turnout is less, significantly less sometimes than the general election. it is noted in 2021 when osoff

and warnock won the georgia runoff, the two twin senate runoffs, turnout was down just only slightly from the general election in 2020. and so, you know, the formula for democrats to be able to win is just to be sure to turn out their base more than republicans are. >> and so, mark, with 166,000 already voting, what does that tell you? >> well, it tells me these are the democratic votes that are coming in. jose, since the donald trump era, we have seen democrats are the ones voting in person or by mail. republicansing particularly the trump base voters, have been day of voters. and this is starting to be the democratic vote. it's why we are seeing rafael warnock, for example, do on a bus tour the next couple of days, particularly going to morehouse college to get students to vote, to start banking in the voters to be sure you get those votes and make

sure that you get as many democratic votes as possible. >> yeah. >> what are you watching the next eight days? >> well, we're watching the messaging, jose. because the messaging is changing. it's getting a little more intense. rafael warnock, ahead of the midterm elections, tried to stick to policy. this time around he's attacking herschel walker's character a little more, calling him flat-out a liar, saying he has no business in washington. that he isn't smart enough for the job. i asked this morning. we're not used to you using this kind of rhetoric. do you think this will backfire at you? and rafael warnock says no. i'm simply speaking the truth. and the voters will recognize this at the polls. we have extended an invitation to herschel walker to talk with us and the campaign seems to be laying a little lower than the warnock campaign. at least today, that is.

but, yeah, i'm watching the messaging. because the messaging is changing, particularly from the warnock campaign. >> and so the walker campaign continues to bring in republican heavy hitters? i know the former president obama will be in town for the senator. >> yeah. i mean, they have specialized in rallies featuring herschel walker. they're trying to push herschel walker to the forefront. one thing that is interesting to note, though, governor kemp released a television ad just this last week supporting herschel walker. we didn't see that ahead of the midterms when he was running for re-election. he kept his distance because of walker's tie with president trump. but this time around it seems like the republican party is really gelling and standing behind herschel walker. and we're seeing that specifically with governor brian

kemp stepping up, not only endorsing walker but doing a television ad. >> lisa and mark, great to see you both. thank you for being with us this morning. appreciate your time. coming up, what former president trump is now saying after coming under fire for having dinner with a white supremacist. you're watching "jose diaz-balart reports" on msnbc.

18 past the hour. in washington today, congress returns this week with a big to do list with same-sex marriage protections and funding the government. this as former president trump is under fire for hosting a pre-thanksgiving dinner at his mar-a-lago resort including rapper kanye west, known now as ye, and holocaust denier nick fuentes. he said on his social media site he did not know who nick fuentes was.

he faced condemnation from jewish groups, and some fellow republicans. >> i don't think it's a good idea for a leader that is setting an example for the country or the party to meet with a vowed racist or anti-semite. it is very troubling and it shouldn't happen. >> well, certainly needs better judgment in who he dines with. he said he didn't know who those people were. >> with us now to talk about this and other political headlines, nbc news congressional correspondent ryan nobles. peter baker, "new york times" chief white house correspondent. and msnbc analyst and co-author of "divider". and marc caputo, senior national political reporter for msnbc digital. what do they need to get done before the recess? >> reporter: well, jose, as it

goes here on capitol hill, why wait to do something if you have time to do it. that's exactly what congressional lawmakers seem to be ready to do. they have a long list of lame-duck priorities they need to get done before they leave for the christmas holiday and before republicans take control of the house. among them we have already mentioned codifying the same-sex marriage. they have to deal with the government spending bill, the debt limit, defense authorization act, funding for the military. there is a long list of things that have to get done. the question is can they marshall all the different factions here in congress to getting these things done. because if they wait to the new year, you have a divided congress. republicans taking control of the majority in the house. democrats still controlling the senate. you have a republican congress that is going to have a narrow majority and make it that much more difficult to take on the somewhat controversial issues a function of just keeping the

government open. the big question we'll have to see is whether or not when they deal with the government spending bill, as they have often done, punt it for a few months down the road, or if they come up with a preparations bill that lasts longer than a year so they don't have to have this political fight. in the short-term, jose, we expect the codifycation. the votes are there. that is one thing we point to that we believe congress will get done in this crucial lame-duck session. >> mark, you pro about the trump campaign's damage control efforts in the wake of his dinner. what do we know about the impact of this? >> that is one of the eternal trump questions. every time something blows up and could kill a regular person or candidate, he survives. what's different is normally you ask people, hey, how bad is this, oh, that is the media

hyping it. one of his advisers said it's an effing nightmare. they think this is a problem. when i talked to people who were at the dinner -- >> how big a dinner was? just the two of them and trump. >> trump, kanye west, nick fuentes, karen giorno, and a fourth guy named jamar, who apparently flew -- kanye west flew coach from los angeles to miami. wanted to fly spirit but flew united. but anyway. they show up, this motley crue. the discussion, among the many things that unfolded, is kanye west and nick fuentes saying you lost your way. you're not the 2016 trump that you were before. that feeds his paranoia and certainly will start to unsettle him. one thing that did make him angry is kanye west told trump, hey, i'm going to run for

president. you should be my running mate. didn't go over well. who is this fuentes character? >> if you pay attention to any anti-hate group they say he's a height nationalist, racist, bigot, anti-semite and holocaust denier. he said no, i'm not, they're just joking. according to trump, he didn't know who fuentes was. it sounds a little bit like a setup like they brought him in part to show trump how he lost his way. like this is really the base. these are the kind of voters you're losing. not sure he minds losing them. >> "the wall street journal" editorial board pulled no punching saying donald trump's presidential campaign is two

weeks old. already it has his trademark of bad company and bad judgment. the board went on to say trump isn't going to change in the next two years will inevitably feature many more damaging episodes. does the former president's behavior, including this set the stage for someone like, i don't know, ron desantis to step in? >> that's the question. for the sake of argument, say he didn't know who nick fuentes was. this is a line used all the time when he is caught associating with or accepting the support of radical extremist characters. i don't know who that person is. i just know they like me. say he didn't know who he was. what strikes you is there is no vetting, no process. there is no, you know, system around a former president of the united states to keep people like that out. he plays in this pool of fringe characters in order to appeal to their supporters. and he doesn't mind doing that.

it's not like he's exactly going out of his way to denounce what nick fuentes said or did since this dinner. just saying, well, i just didn't know. the things nick fuentes said are hateful and full of bile for people of color, for jewish americans, all sorts of americans. that is not something that troubles donald trump. what troubles donald trump is when people criticize him and say he's losing his way. >>, ma, what is the proet of vetting or clearly no vetting? >> reporter: i think it is no vetting, as you say. i have talked to mar-a-lago club members about this. if they're not list to get in and you're in this their car, they will call you in and you're in. apparently what happened here was kanye west was supposed to have dinner with donald trump. he decided to bring along nick fuentes and these other people, including karen giorno. ye brought her in.

well, she was driving. she picked him up at the airport with nick fuentes and the other guy and drove to mar-a-lago at the gate kanye was on the list. no one else was. she said i am who i am, they are who they are. here it is. after a few minutes they were waved through >> there is a difference between that club and trump's personal living area. or is there no separation? >> there is because there are different buildings. the mar-a-lago documents case. one of the things that the federal government has said about trump's possession of these documents marked classified and top secret is he wasn't supposed to have them. mar-a-lago was a place where people come and go. who knows who the hell is there. suddenly he's storing these sensitive documents. he's not doing it, according to the government, properly. lo and behold, a few months

later you have this, you know, a white supremacist and an anti-semitic rapper. >> what is the significance of the first state dinner being for france's president? >> reporter: well, remember there was this dust up between the pwaoeug at the beginning of last year about arms sale involving australia. the french were very out of sorts about the american handling of that. this is one way of saying, look, we are obviously on the same page. we are allies. particularly when the ukraine war requires western solidarity in the face of russian aggression. they want to make sure there is no reason for anybody to doubt that there are -- you know, that both sides stand together when it comes to supporting ukraine in this hour of need. so i think it will be interesting state dinner.

there have been a number of state dinners for leaders over the years that have been memorable. as a particular stress point i know for the residential staff because there is always extra pressure to perform for a french president of all thing. you have to make sure food is up to snuff. >> peter, mark, ryan, thank you for being with us this morning. it is something the labor secretary calls a catastrophe. how a breakdown in the immigration system is impacting america's economy. g america's economy. if advanced lung cancer has you searching for possibilities, discover a different first treatment. immunotherapies work with your immune system to attack cancer. but opdivo plus yervoy is the first combination of 2 immunotherapies for adults newly diagnosed with non-small cell lung cancer that has spread, tests positive for pd-l1, and does not have an abnormal egfr or alk gene. opdivo plus yervoy is not chemotherapy, it works differently.

cnbc steve lease man joins us. great to see you. what is going on with the shortage of foreign workers? >> some the first thing this is not the illegal or undocumented side. this is the legal side. this is the part that is supposed to work. every expert we talked to said it's inadequate, outdated and broken. >> the illegal side, how to secure the border from the millions of undocumented immigrants who enter the u.s. every year and how they should be treated once they arrive. but america has a massive legal immigration program, one with far-reaching consequences for the economy. experts say the antiquated system is broken, playing a big part of the nation's workers especially in the vital medical and technology sectors. it helps push up inflation. and experts say plays a role in making illegal immigration worse

>> we are talking about inflation. i think we will have a bigger catastrophe if we don't get more workers in. >> there is a falloff to immigration and the biggest gap between job openings and available workers in postwar history is one of the key reasons it is soaring. an increase in foreign-born workers could help to raise the price in wages. in rural communities, the lack of foreign health care workers has driven up wait times and plays a role in hospital closures and health outcomes. for the country, the crisis may be causing america to lose the contest for the best and the brightest around the world. it could lose its technological edge. bo cooper says he has seen skilled immigrants leave >> that is a loss to our economy. the legal immigration system is meant to serve the u.s. national interest by allowing us to import intellectual talent for

skill needs. >> how bad is the immigration season? 484,000 skilled workers from abroad under one visa program, the h-1b program for skilled employees. they were granted just 85,000 approvals. or 1 in every six applications. normally it's one in two or three. >> our immigration system is designed for an era in american history that does not exist anymore. a lot of the programs that were designed were created back in the '90s. >> that is especially true in the wake of the pandemic which saw an increase in retirees and others leaving the workforce. the result, a shortfall of 1.6 million legal immigrant workers in the nation. 10.7 million job openings and 6 million unemployed.

so a third of the gap, experts say, is the lack of foreign workers. >> foreign born are 12% of the population. they are roughly 40% to 50% of the s.t.e.m. labor force. so they contribute massively to this part of the economy. staying at this level will definitely jeopardize that for the u.s. >> jose, a lot of the shortfall comes from backlogs from the pandemic. the embassies overseas don't have enough to process all the visas. it will take years. they are still up against the quotas that date back decades. >> steve, thank you very much for bringing this up. appreciate it. a disturbing murder mystery near an idaho college campus now going into its third week. what police say they have been getting from the public. you're watching "jose diaz-balart reports." diaz-baralt reports. nicorette knows, quitting smoking is freaking hard. you get advice like:

the entire city of houston, texas is under a boil water notice affecting 2 million people. a power outage caused water pressure to suddenly drop below the regulatory limit forcing the notice. all schools in the city shut down today. the water company says it will begin testing samples this morning for any bacteria. turning to the university of idaho where classes resume today. but some students are opting to take classes online because they simply don't feel safe as a murder mystery remains unsolved after two weeks. they received hundreds of tips from the public, taken thousands of photographs, and conducted over 100 interviews. but they're no closer to solving the crime after four students were murdered in their rental home. gabe gutierrez is following the story. good morning, gabe. what's the latest? >> reporter: as you said, this

case is puzzling investigators at this point. and, yes, classes are resuming today at the university of idaho in moscow after the thanksgiving break. and some students say they're just too afraid to return to campus. now, as you said, it's been two weeks since the four university of idaho students were stabbed to death just blocks from campus. they were killed inside a rental house while two others who live there apparently slept through the attack. still, no suspect, no arrest. and now investigators say they've already processed more than 1,000 tips. but they're still trying to crowd source information from the local community. so far the fbi, which is assisting the investigation, says it's received more than 480 digital media submissions. and idaho's governor set aside up to a million dollars in state emergency funds. now, jose, there have been questions whether the murders could be linked to previous crimes in the region but there

does not appear to be any evidence to double stabbings in salem, oregon and the 1999 in pullman, washington. so many unanswered questions at this point in this case. organizers are planning a candlelight vigil later this week to honor the victims, jose. gabe gutierrez, thank you so much. you're a south florida guy, how important is rer versailles for us? >> reporter: i went home for thanksgiving. i was just there. it is huge. >> south florida, you must stop by the restaurant. >> you see, this is very miami, very south florida. gabe, thanks. we're mentioning that because here in miami the city is mourning the loss of app icon. felipe valls sr.

57 past the hour. we have breaking news from washington. nbc news has learned former white house counselor kellyanne conway is being deposed by the house january 6th committee. ryan nobles joins us now. what more do we know? >> well, jose, we know that this is the first time that kellyanne conway has appeared before the committee in a formal setting answering questions on the record. and her appearance is significant for a number of reasons. perhaps the most important being the timing. the january 6th select committee is about to come to a

conclusion. it is widely expected that when republicans take control of the house on january 3rd that the committee will be no more. so they're under a tight deadline right now to issue a final report. the fact that they're still deposing witnesses is significant, especially someone as high profile as kellyanne conway. and what we don't know is whether she was brought before the committee on her own or issued a subpoena. the committee did not publicly release a subpoena as it relates to kellyanne conway, but there have been a number of witnesses who they've subpoenaed quietly in an attempt to try and get them to participate and cooperate with the committee and not do so in a public way. the committee not commenting on whether or not conway appeared voluntarily before them today. conway is an interesting figure in all of this primarily because of her proximity to the former president trump. she is in his orbit and remains in his orbit, but she was also someone that had already left the white house by the time of

that -- that period of time the january 6th is focused on which is between the 2020 election and the january 6th riot. in fact, she left the white house in august of 2020 prior to the election even coming to a conclusion. she's not someone who would necessarily have insider information on a day-to-day basis as to what was going on. jose, we know she remains close to the president so there are obviously some questions that the january 6th select committee has for ms. conway. >> ryan nobles on capitol hill, thank you very much. that wraps up the hour for me, i'm jose diaz-balart. you can reach me on twitter and instagram. be sure to follow the show online. thank you for the privilege of your time. alex witt picks up with more news right now. good morning to you. i'm alex witt at msnbc headquarters in new york. we're following a lot of big stories this monday morning including the ramp up to the
