service agent who was deputy chief of staff under trump, spoke to the committee yesterday. you may recall cassidy hutchinson testified that ornato told her trump became enraged after being told he couldn't join a crowd of supporters the day of the capitol attack. >> i looked at tony. he said, did you effing here what happened in the beast? tony proceeded to tell me the president said something to the effect of, "i'm the effing president, take me to the capitol now." the president reached towards the front of the vehicle to grab at the steering wheel and used his free hand to lung toward bobby engel. >> they probably want to hear

more about that. we've also learned the republican speaker of wisconsin state assembly robin voss is set to sit down with the committee today for a deposition. voss revealed that trump called him in july to push for the state's 2020 election results to be thrown out. >> when's the last time you talked to former president trump? >> within the last week. >> before or after he tweeted? >> before. >> what was that conversation like? >> it's very consistent. he makes his case, which i respect. he would like us to do something different in wisconsin. i explain it's not allowed under the constitution. he has a different opinion. then he put the tweet out. >> it is the top of the hour, 9:00 on the east coast, 6:00 a.m. out west. the justice department secured a major win when a federal jury convicted stewart rhodes and top lieutenant of the oath keepers kelly meggs of seditious

conspiracy in connection with the january 6th attack on the capitol. three other members of the group were acquitted on the charge of seditious conspiracy, but they were convicted of obstruction of an official proceeding. the charge carries a maximum charge of 20 years in prison. a sentencing date has not yet been set. attorneys for rhodes say they do plan to appeal. joining us former u.s. attorney barbara mcquade. what's your reaction to the verdict here? i think a lot of people who saw the evidence and heard the testimony thought this was the correct investigator. are you surprised, though? >> i'm not surprised but i'm, i guess, relieved just because i know all the ways a case can go sideways. i oversaw a prosecution under

the seditious conspiracy statue ten or so years ago which resulted in an acquittal. the system is built to favor defendants. the case has to be proven by guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. they tried to disrupt the peaceful transfer of presidential power. imagine if this case came out the other way. i think it would have bolstered anyone else out there who might have similar plans. >> the point's been made several times that this idea of vigilante justice, deputizing yourself to go in and fight what you say is tyranny won't stand in the country. there's more out there still, as you know. the proud boys on trial.

what do these verdicts tell you about future cases coming here? >> for all of those lined up facing seditious conspiracy charges already, i think they really have to look at this verdict. it really gives the justice department a stronger hand in negotiating any of those cases. if i've been charged with seditious conspiracy and i see those verdicts, i'm now thinking a plea deal might sound more attractive. maybe if there had been acquittals, i like my chances and i go to trial. now that i see juries are buying this story that you can't just rise up in vigilante justice and take what you think is right against your own government, i think it may be a more attractive alternative to provide information. it improves the justice department's hand in going after

the higher-ups. if there is any link between the violence with the oath keepers and the proud boys and president trump or his close advisors, there are people who know that. finding those people and talking with them and getting that information is critical to holding a president accountable for his role, if any, in planning the violence. >> you set me up with the segue. the election has come and gone, a special counsel has been appointed. the investigation into donald trump is ongoing. reading some tea leaves here, are there new members of the trump orbit that have given testimony to the doj that have appeared before grand juries? where do you think we're going next there? >> clearly the investigation is looking into the most inner circle of donald trump. they've been talking to people at high level, aides and white house counsel to see if there is a link between donald trump and

the violence that occurred at the capitol on january 6th. it may be there, it may not be there, but it does appear that merrick garland is true to his word that the justice department will hold accountable anyone involved in the attack on the capitol that day. now that we have jack smith taking charge of this, he will continue in that vain. i know there's talk of putting mike pence before the grand jury, which i think is an essential move, because if you're going to indict donald trump you need to know everything. it seems they are pursuing that case to its end. if they have that evidence to prove that case beyond a reasonable doubt given the very high standards in those cases, then i take merrick garland at his worded that the justice department will bring those charges. >> thank you for your analysis. former president trump is facing growing backlash from top

republicans following his dinner last week with a known white nationalist at mar-a-lago. garrett haake has the very latest. >> reporter: in just two weeks since announcing his 2024 campaign, donald trump already facing major criticism from gop party leaders, mitch mcconnell and kevin mccarthy over a pre-thanksgiving dinner at his mar-a-lago club with prominent white supremacist nick fuentes. >> anyone meeting with people advocating that point of view, in my judgment, are highly unlikely to ever be elected president of the united states. >> i don't think anybody should associate with nick fuentes. >> reporter: neither mentioned him by name. mccarthy, who mr. trump has supported in his effort to become house speaker next year, falsely claiming mr. trump condemned fuentes multiple times and mitch mcconnell dodging the question on whether he would

support trump should he win the gop nomination in 2024. >> that would apply to all the leaders in the party seeking offices. >> the former president in an interview with fox news attacking mcconnell as a loser, insisting he did not know fuentes, saying, quote i had no idea what his views are. fuentes, an outspoken anti-semite and holocaust denier arrived at mar-a-lago with kanye west. a long time trump advisor telling nbc news the master troll got trolled. according to another confident west told trump he would be running for president. trump described the west suggestion with an expletive, adding, he's crazy, he can't beat me.

but the backlash is still growing. >> president trump was wrong to give a white nationalist, an anti-semite and a holocaust denier a seat at the table. i think he should apologize for it. >> nbc's garrett haake with that report. joining us from capitol hill cofounder of punch bowl news jake sherman. jake, what do you make of how the republicans are handling this so far? i see a difference than other things that trump has done in the past, their reaction. >> there should be a difference and not only because of nick fuentes, who is a vile human being, but also it's not much better to accept a meeting with kanye west, who is also an anti-semite and has expressed very, very, very serious anti-semitic claims.

this is not a close call to me. this is disgusting. this is black and white to me. there's no gray here. this is disgusting. neither of these people given the views they've expressed should have no place in our society, period, the end, hard stop. now, mcconnell has been much more willing to criticize trump and his antics than kevin mccarthy, who is in a battle for speakership, where he has a four-vote majority. that's not an excuse. they both should have called out trump by name. they did not. now, yes, i do see a bit of a difference. i think people are sick of trump. i just do. but it's never enough, right? it's not going to be enough for the people who are anti-trump and want to see republicans

forcefully call him out. >> jake, you spoke of all the reasons that kevin mccarthy might just stick with donald trump for now because he wants to win the speakership. you know the count better than anyone. do you think that he actually is going to have the votes at the end of the day to win house speaker? >> open question. this is a very extremely difficult path to 218. remember, he could lose four people at 218. he's got 222. so he could convince people to vote present or otherwise show up. my guess sitting here today is he probably does get there in some way. they feel like, based on their own analysis and the people i talk to in mccarthy's office, feel they could limit their losses to four and get people to a place where they understand he's the only person that could get 218. this idea there's going to be a

democrat as speaker of a republican majority is a fever dream and is not going to happen. i think he does get there. i think it's very ugly. it could go multiple ballots. he's going to be a prisoner of the right. he's going to be an ugly two years for a speaker who comes in extraordinarily weak with very narrow support. >> let me ask you about this potential rail strike. the house is going to vote to try to block that rail strike. jonathan has been reporting this is a thorny issue for joe biden and the white house given its relationships and support for unions in the past. this is a fight over sick leave. how do you see this playing out? >> a lot of thoughts here. the white house came to the hill very late here and said you need to pass a bill by december 9th. getting congress to pass a bill in a week is like trying to get me to climb everest tomorrow.

it's very difficult. i think congress will be able to avert a rail strike. i think the underlying deal that hikes pay by 24% but only gives one day of paid sick leave is going to pass the house today and pass the senate in the next week or so. now, the larger question is around this ancillary package that increases sick days from one to seven paid leave days. that will pass the house, i would guess, based on my reporting. and then it goes to the senate, where republicans are surprisingly open to this. remember, they're going to need ten republicans to get this across the finish line. i don't know there are ten but there is this strain in the republican party that does want to increase paid sick leave to beyond one day. i think it's extraordinarily fluid right now. republicans are pretty angry this is being foisted upon them, but they know this is a political loser for them, shutting off railways in a fragile economy where we already have extremely difficult supply

chain issues is a nonstarter and a loser for republicans. >> hey, jake, good morning. it's jonathan. we got a glimpse of mitt romney's new beard yesterday. we like yours better. [ laughter ] we wanted to ask you about the leadership vote for the democrats, which is coming today. tell us about the new leaders and also a turning of the page, a new era for democrats on the hill. >> i appreciate senator romney following in my footsteps. it's amazing to me, john, that after 21 years nearly of nancy pelosi, the leadership is going to be basically swapped out without any drama. hakeem jeffries, catherine clark and pete aguilar are going to be voice voted essentially with no opposition. jim clyburn is sticking around as assistant democratic leader. he's not going to be voted on today. he's speaking at the funeral of one of the virginia football

players killed in that horrible attack in charlottesville. they are going to be in charge of a caucus in a very difficult political climate, to say the least, on capitol hill, number one. number two, none of them have really been at the top of the party before. it's not elevating the number two to number one. you're elevating the number four to number one. it's a watershed moment. this is the first black man to be the leader of any party on capitol hill. generational change is finally taking place. it's a watershed moment. they're going to have to work together on a whole host of issues over the next couple of years. >> i'm going to agree with

lemire. i think the beard is a good look. it works. >> thank you very much. >> cofounder of punch bowl news, jake sherman, thank you very much. joining us now democratic congresswoman katie porter of california. she's a member of the house committee on oversight and reform. she was recently overseas in rome, jordan, afghanistan and iraq and spent thanksgiving in kuwait serving meals to service members. i want to hear about all of that in just a moment. i'm just curious, politics of the day, though, what do you think with the dems in the minority is in the realm of possibility in terms of what you would like to accomplish moving forward? >> i think we're going to see a closely divided house, which is what we've had this congress and yet we've still been able to deliver things. i'm going into this congress with the same mindset i went in

when democrats were in charge, which is i want to get things done for the people of california. we have real challenges in our economy and overseas. what i've seen firsthand in my own committee that i chair is we are continuing to work together just like we did before even as we prepare to hand over the majority to republicans. i'm optimistic. my duty to do oversight doesn't change where democrats or republicans are in charge of congress. it's a commitment to the people i'm going to deliver on. >> also to ask you about iran, which obviously big win for team usa yesterday and a lot of concern for the iranian team as they've been facing threats, even their families as well for standing up for the women of iran who have been protesting across the country. what do you think our policy should be? any change, any tightening of sanctions? >> we definitely in the united

states need to find strategies to support the people of iran as they move hopefully toward a more free and democratic iran. the situation on the ground is extremely concerning. we've heard that from the iranian community, including in orange county which has one of the largest iranian communities in the country. the entire region is at risk as iran is destabilized by protests. the united states needs to figure out what are the tactics we can best use to support the people of iran, recognizing this regime has been brutal in its crackdown. >> you served dinner to american troops stationed in kuwait over the holidays. can you talk about the troops you visited with and what you learned about the mission still

today in iraq from our men and women serving there? >> this trip was led by chairman mark decottoe of the house veterans affairs committee. we have to understand what their experience is like when they serve, particularly in the most difficult posts in the most dangerous countries in the world including in iraq and jordan. we were able to talk with troops about why they came to serve our country, what they need from us on the back end, whether educational benefits, housing benefits, skills training, job opportunities. i personally was taken with the commitment to the mission, particularly the partnership that we are building in jordan and iraq. the united states has recently taken a somewhat different approach to how we train foreign security forces through something called the security force assistance brigade. i was very impressed with these

partnerships we were able to see both in iraq and jordan how we are using our skills to build skills in these security partners. it was an incredible trip. thank you to all the servicemen and women who dined with us and talked with us about their experience. >> i want to ask you about your election, which was just called less than two weeks ago, maybe tighter than you expected it to be given you're the incumbent. you outraised your republican opponent by about 10-1. what did you learn about the people in your district and nationally? >> i knew it would be a tough race. i had 70% new voters because of redistricting. any time you have new voters, you are more at risk of the general partisan wins as opposed to when you're a traditional incumbent, people know who you are, they've seen you deliver on your promises.

the community i currently represent irvine came through very strongly for me. people were questioning is she a biden democrat, what is she like? they didn't know my track record. i had been saying for a year plus that inflation is a real problem for families. it affects everyday decisions in the grocery store, with kids, with their planning. democrats have taken steps and we need to continue to push forward on that. we are the party that delivers a strong and stable economy for the working people of america and we need to make sure we do not lose that focus as we go into the next congress. >> congresswoman katie porter. thank you very much for being on this morning. still ahead on "morning joe," the latest on a murder mystery in idaho that continues to have a college community frightened and frustrated. plus, team usa moving onto the knockout round following a nail-biting win over iran.

we'll play for you part of a conversation earlier this morning with the team's captain tyler adams. "morning joe" will be right back. the u.s. beat iran 1-0 to advance to the next round of the world cup. yes! [ applause ] >> usa! i just hope this doesn't ruin our incredible friendship with iran.

pulisic scores! >> christian pulisic delivering the goal against iran yesterday, a 38th minute score that held up for a 1-0 win to clinch the united states a spot in the world cup knockout stage. team usa would play the second half without pulisic, who was sent to the hospital diagnosed with one of the great euphemisms in the history of sports, a pelvic contusion, after he crashed the groin area into the goalkeeper on that play. pulisic said after the match he will be ready on saturday when the u.s. takes on the netherlands with a chance to reach the quarterfinals for the first time in two decades. onto the knockout round for the americans. earlier on "morning joe," we spoke with u.s. men's national team captain tyler adams. >> tyler, thank you so much for being here. congratulations.

when i was a younger man, i would have wanted to talk about the game first, which i'm sure you want to talk about the game first. let me just say you made us so proud as americans in that press conference for not only talking about the greatness of america and how we are moving forward as a country even with our past and even with our mistakes, but also the grace that you showed and even apologizing to this guy who obviously was trying to set you off. i know it's not as exciting talking about a press conference as a world cup game, but we wanted to start by thanking you for that. tell us how it felt yesterday, how magical it was on the pitch. >> thank you so much for having me. it's great to see you both. yeah, listen, you know, first on the press conference, obviously it's part of the job and you have to deal with that, but it's

just important that everyone knows there's so much room for growth in our country, of course. just in general, as long as you're educating yourself and trying to make progress, that's the most important thing. that being said, it was an amazing feeling to get the win and the three points and qualify out of the group. it was definitely not an easy group, but how our young team navigated through that was unbelievable. >> tell us about christian. how is he doing? a lot of euphemisms being used for the injury he sustained. is he going to be okay? and roger's been talking about how much he hates the dutch. i don't know that that's diplomatic. >> it's not! >> will he be back in time to go against roger's arch nemesis? >> he will be ready 100%. christian is a warrior. he'd be playing on one leg if that's what it took. he'll be ready.

we're going to need him for sure. >> tell me about the match yesterday. what made the difference through, again, not just the first half when you guys were desperately trying to find that goal, but also the gutsiness, holding it together for 15 or 20 minutes that seemed to last forever? >> going into a game like that, it's great to know what you need to do. the only result we could get in order to advance was a win. so we had to show a little bit of that american grit and be ready to compete. that iranian team were unbelievable. they competed throughout 90 minutes and the 9 minutes of added time felt like an eternity. for a young group, we handled the pressure really well. >> tyler, this is willie geist. i want to echo what joe said and

what we said on the show yesterday, which is that your performance in that press conference because model for a lot of people and we'll be showing that to our kids about how to be smart and thoughtful and gracious in one moment and showing american pride while doing it. as far as our team goes, we were saying the narrative about you guys was that you're the youngest team in the world cup, kind of more built for 2026 when the world cup comes to the united states, but you're starting to look a lot like you were built for 2022. what do you expect out of the dutch? >> we know the dutch team has so much quality. we knew coming into this turn. where we were as a team. we've made a lot of progress in the past 3 1/2 years. we've grown as individuals and as a team. but we knew we were going to be underdogs in a lot of these games.

for u.s. soccer, we probably have more talent than ever. we knew we were going to have to have the right mentality and be focused. even looking forward to the game against holland on saturday, we're probably the underdogs, but we don't mind that narrative. we're going to go out with confidence and continue to be fearless. >> tyler adams, the captain of team usa. they're onto take on the netherlands in the round of 16. one direction to our earlier interview. i said team usa has the youngest team in the world cup. it's actually ghana. new york city takes imagine steps in addressing mental health and hopefully crime among the homeless. and the murder mystery in idaho as police struggle to find answers in the killings of four college students. we'll get a live report, next. cs we'll get a live report, next.

murders remain unsolved. morgan chesky is live with the latest. >> reporter: good morning. there is rising concern and in some cases outright fear over the lack of information that this investigation has produced so far, no suspect named, no murder weapon recovered. and now as the memorial for those four slain students grows, students across the state are gathering today to pay tribute to those young lives lost. outside the home that's now a crime scene, police towing away five snow-covered vehicles that haven't been driven in weeks. police say the cars are being moved to a secure location to continue processing evidence. while on campus, students say the unsolved murders are weighing heavy on their minds. >> i have an evening class that i go walk to in the dark and come home from in the dark and i have my roommates take me to that now. >> reporter: early morning

november 13th, the students were stabbed to death in their shared home. a mother who lives across the street says she was home, but didn't hear anything suspicious. >> i was actually breast-feeding but it was quiet and i was exhausted, so i could have very easily missed something. >> reporter: this evening, the victims' lives are being remembered with a candlelight vigil on campus. colleges and universities across the state are also coming together at the same time to support the victims and their loved ones, including the college of eastern idaho. >> it's so hard to see the struggle that they're going through and the pain they have. >> reporter: the shocking crime even rattling students at other schools. >> the main thing i'm hearing from students is they're remembering to lock their doors, they're remembering to a watch over their friends when they're traveling to and from campus. >> reporter: police have not made an arrest, nor found the

murder weapon, a frustrating dearth of information for the devastated families. >> they're kind of just telling me they can't tell me much, which is frustrating. >> reporter: investigators say they've conducted 150 interviews and processed more than 100 pieces of evidence, received more than a thousand tips, including that kayleigh might have had a stalker. >> we can't throw all of our cards on the table and tell everything that we have. >> reporter: a community in fear coming together to grieve the loss of four young lives. this morning, investigators are remaining tight lipped, but they are starting to rule out some suspects, saying the two surviving roommates in that house are not considered to be part of this crime in any way, shape or form. they also mentioned a male individual that apparently had phone calls early in those phone

calls on november 13th. they say he is not attached to this crime either. however, with the rising number of questions, the calls for answer only growing here in this small community. >> can you imagine being a college kid having to walk at night on campus knowing this is an unsolved brutal murder? i know police aren't saying much. are there any working theories here? >> reporter: investigators have said they're looking at every tip that comes in, interviewing dozens right now. they are not sharing any potential arrests as of this moment. that only leads to a sense of uneasiness here throughout this entire area. >> a terrible story for those kids, those families and that campus. morgan, thank you so much. mika? new york city mayor eric

adams is pushing a new policy that would remove people coping with mental illness from the city streets and subways. >> the very nature of their illnesses keeps them from realizing they need intervention and support. without that intervention, they remain lost and isolated from society, tormented by delusions and distorted thinking. >> the plan would allow police officers and first responders to assess an individual to determine if they pose a risk to themselves. if they conclude they do, officials could call for the person to be transported to a hospital with or without their consent. medical professionals would then assess the patient and make a determination to admit or not. under adams' new policy, hospitals would be required to hold patients until they are stable and a plan for ongoing care is in place.

mayor adams and governor kathy hochul have agreed to add 50 new psychiatric beds to assist in the effort. jonathan lemire, your thoughts on this? it's a pretty -- that's a big step to take, but something needs to be done. it certainly is putting in some constraints for people with mental illness to find a plan, to agree to a plan to get better, which seems to make sense. i think it's the actual execution that could be very difficult here. >> yeah. there's already been some pushback in new york city for some homeless advocates and left wing politicians who say police officers shouldn't be made to work as social workers. the mayor pointed to a string of high profile crimes involving homeless people in new york city. this is a problem that has

become a national topic of conversation. adams saying, look, we need to try something. he says this is what we will do. he believes this is an important step, only a step, but a step to make the city safer. tom petty and the heartbreakers had a legendary 20-night run at the fillmore. the late lead singer's daughter joins us next to talk about the band's new live album box set.

i've always had trouble falling asleep and staying asleep, you know, insomnia. but then, i found quviviq, an fda approved medication for adults with insomnia. and i'm glad i found it. you wouldn't believe some of the things people suggested to help me sleep. nature sounds? ahh, no thanks. my friend's white noise idea. nope. and i'm not counting sheep. not on the...carpet. insomnia can impact both my days and my nights. so i know how important a good night's sleep is. that's why i take quviviq nightly. quviviq could help you fall asleep faster and stay asleep longer; and more sleep at night may mean feeling less tired during the day. maybe i should tell them how it works, taye? quviviq works differently than medications you may have taken in the past. quviviq is thought to target one of the biological causes

of insomnia - overactive wake signals. do not take quviviq if you have narcolepsy. don't drink alcohol while taking quviviq or drive or operate heavy machinery until you feel fully alert. quviviq may cause temporary inability to move or talk or hallucinations while falling asleep or waking up. quviviq may cause sleepiness during the day. quviviq may lead to doing activities while not fully awake that you don't remember the next day like walking, driving and making or eating food. worsening depression including suicidal thoughts may occur. most common side effects are headaches and sleepiness. it's quviviq. ask your doctor if it's right for you. back with a look at the morning papers. in california, the "los angeles times" covers the skyrocketing number of opioid-related overdose deaths in that city. it increased by 1300% over the past five years. l.a. county has created a new

it was just a joyful -- it expanded the music enormously. >> what's this like for you putting this together and hearing this sort of feels like you're there again. does it make you in a way feel closer to your dad? or what are your feelings? it's got to be so poignant. >> it really is. it's such an honor to work to preserve this music for my dad growing up in this band, it's incredible to relive the ful mother. the relationship with dad and the band, it's mind blowing. it's a beautiful project. >> thank you so much for being here. this is such a gift, this box set. we were talking in the break how much joy your music has brought
