good morning. i'm jose diaz-balart. the supreme court has temporarily halted the end of a pandemic era health policy at the border. but the humanitarian crisis is already putting a strain on shelters struggling to keep up with with the thousands of families arriving ever day. we'll take you live to both

sides of the southern border. tomorrow the january 6 theth committee will release its highly anticipated final report after approing criminal referrals against form president trump for his role in the deadly attack on the capitol. we'll preview what connect we can expect. major pharmacy change, limiting how much children's medicine families can buy amid a tripledemic just before the holidays. and right now, fans flood the steets to celebrate arkansas gent too tee na's world cup victory as the champions return home. we begin the hour with a very latest on the growing humanitarian crisis at the southern border. the u.s. supreme court has moved to keep title 42 in place at least for now. chief roberts put a temporary hold on the ruling that would

end the health policy that turned away asylum seekers at the border. the high court gave the biden administration and groups challenging the policy until 5:00 p.m. eastern today to respond. 19 states led by arizona and louisiana asked the justices to keep the policy in place arguing that lifting title 42 would create create yos at the border. as this plays out, migrants coming across the border to text try to find a place to stay warm. our team filmed this video of men, women and children sleeping on the floor of the airport. this is just last night. and with shelters overwhelmed, some migrants resorted to sleeping on the streets of el paso in temperatures below freezing. telemundo captured this image of a migrant praying on the mexico side of the border. he was trying to cross but was unable to because mexican

authorities put up a wire fence around it. with us now to start off our coverage this hour is juan vanegas and morgan chesky. what's going on in el paso this morning as the future of title 42 is up in the air? >> reporter: good morning. the sun rose not that long ago. it's still early. some of the migrants are still sleeping here on the street. this is an area where a lot of of them have come to find help, food, clothing. it's eaier for them to get here and find some of the transportation. there's already transportation in place to take a lot of the migrants here to cities like chicago, new york, that's so they have that option. but many of them have relatives or friends in other ciies where they are trying to get to. you can see a lot of them are sleeping. there's a group over here that just woke up. this is very cold and this is where they have been sleeping.

i'm asking him how it was. they are a little shy. i'm asking if they have gotten any help since they declared the state of emergency. they have been to shelters. they are told the shelters are full. they are not sure because they can't see that. they have just been turned away. they are trying to get to san francisco. and this is just one of the areas, as said, this is an area downtown that these buildings have been shut down with construction going on i'm going

to walk over this direction. the images that we recorded over the last few days, a lot of them have been here. but they continue sleeping on the sidewalk. as you can see, this entire block over here on the right side, there's piles of clothing. this is cloting that volunteers have brought. they will walk up and grab what they need. it's so cold that some of them will just layer up with what they can get from here. this is also the area where people will come drop off waters. they bring food. yesterday we did see police officers from the city of el paso coordinating traffic. so what happens as local authoriies have told us, because people are released after they are processed, you see large groups come by in different parts of el paso. they will get some help and then some will get on buss. some will go to the airport and go to other parts of the country, which is their intention. so during the day, you can see hundreds of people and then the numbers go down. there's also an al al lee down

here, there's some people still sleeping on the fwround. ground. that was full of people when we arrived. that was the first day when it was really cold. we seen even saw people using boxes to keep warm. i saw a person using a card board box that tvs come in that are long, he was using that to stay warm. so this has been the scene here in downtown el paso. you showed some food here being offered. there's a lot of bread. you saw what the airport was like. i should also say other parts of the city, like outside of money wiring locations, there's lines of people waiting for money that's going to get wired from friends. a lot of pieces moving here in el paso as some of the migrants continue ep sleeping on the street. >> and this is before title 42 is lifted. i'm just wondering, you're talking about people and organizations coming to help. what i don't see is some organization on a federal level. i don't see where the asylum

processing centers are and what the government is doing about this. but morgan, you're on the other side at a tent city in mexico just across the border. what are you seeing there? >> reporter: good morning. certainly, a chilly morning here. nothing like in l pa so, but this is a group of tents that's been put together that's existed for some time they tell me it's quadrupled in size over the last year here. they now have more than 4,000 men, women, and children for the most part, these are folks from nicaragua and haiti who are gathering here. some of whom, like others along the border, have been waiting to cross and claim asylum when title 42 expired. now they find themselves in a bit of a legal limbo. right in the middle of this

political battle. the tents are sturdy. they are from where they have an outdoor kitchen set up. they were cooking early this morning. we do know a lot of people waking up ask getting breakfast and coffee here we have tents right here that have a food handout area. any snacks anyone would need. basically, the timeline is a big unknown. for as many people as you see here and as many tents that are here, i think one really important factor here is that there is a waiting list of thousands of people just trying to not get across the border per se, but to get in here for the food, for the shelter. but most importantly, for the safety. in fact, this entire camp, as you can see behind me s surrounded by reenforced wall on some areas it has barbed wire on top. we are really as we were showing

the stunning images of people just sleeping outside with little to no protection, not just from the elements but from potentially other who is height want to do them harm, this is for all intents and purposes for some of those we have spoken to as an ideal a situation when it comes to the holding pattern that people find themselves in here with with the title 42 now being put really in potential in flux with the lack of a decision on it. we are looking to see what the biden administration how they respond by 5:00 eastern time today. but until then, these folks here will do as they have been doing for days, weeks and months and getting a little food, a little water, some coffee hopefully and waiting to see what happens. >> and what's been going on there, as you well mentioned, it's not something brand new. that's been going on there for months. so that's the reality there. morgan chesky and gauad, thank

you. with us to continue our conversation is the deputy director of the aclu immigrant rights project and a leader on the title 42 legislation. it's good to see you. i want your thoughts on what are you and part of that aclu team going to be responding to today to this supreme court? >> we're going to tell the court that title 42 cannot remain in place. whatever you may think about the asylum process currently in the united states and maybe reasonable peopleed to revise it to some extent, you cannot leave title 42. title 42 was specifically intended as a temporary measure to deal with public health. to one, especially at the states trying to get title 42 kept in place believe that the country any longer needs these types of

restrictions, especially when it means sending migrants to back to torture, rape and death. this was a public health measure, not an immigration measure. it cannot be misused. it's very dangerous for the country to use the laws. we need to talk about whether we want the to change our asylum processes. but also the pictures you showed, you're right to characterize it as a humanitarian crisis. it's not a national security crisis. it's a short-term issue. if you block the border for so long, of course, there are going to be people ready to come in and backed up. but it's a short-term price. the united states government has more than enough resources. ngos are standing be by to help. so we asked the court to lift the stay. let title 42 end, as i think most people agree there's no longer a public health justification for it. and the centers for disease control has specific scli said

there's no longer a justification for sending migrants back based on public health. >> it's just the fact that we're seeing that essentially the government is utilizing a restriction that was created only for health reasons, as law. i just wonder what happens when title 42, which is apparently one of the few things that this government is using to deal with the humanitarian crisis, what happens when that is no longer in their possibility? >> you're exactly right. they are not doling with order management it and they are just relying on a public health law as a crutch. what they need to do is surge resources to process oom. we have more than enough resources. whenever we want to deport people quickly, we surge

resources at the border. so it's clear we have enough resources when we wanted to. that went smoothly. but the united states government needs to do stop looking for easy solutions like title 42. put in a plan, which now they have, but finally surge the resources. i think you'll see if title 42 ends, the united states government has those resources. we need to send asylum officers and other processing agents to the border and start processing people. we just finally need to get rid of title 42, not use it as a crutch and engage in rossing. >> i just can't stop thinking about those men, women, and children and that picture that they had from telemundo.

the risks they took for the opportunity to request asylum. these are men, women and children who are here already and having to sleep in the streets, in the airports, in empty card board boxes. how is it we can have this humanitarian crisis and it seems like there's no urgency to help these people. >> you're exactly right. what i think is happening is the human dimension is being lost in abstract policy. and not only are they really dangerous conditions in mexico, but if they are sent back to other countries, they will be purse cuted. this final note, which you hit on, thot everyone will ultimately give title to asylum. we have to give them hearings. after world war ii, we said we

would never send people back without giving them a hearing. title 42 people need to understand is not give you any hearing on asylum whatsoever. we have to give people hearings. if they succeed in their asylum hearings, they will be allowed to stay. if not, they will be sent back. but we're sending people back to danger without giving them a hearing. that's what title 42 does. we must give people a hearing. >> thank you very much for being with us this morning. i appreciate your time. >> thank you for having me. the house ways and means committee will be meeting to discuss former president trump's tax returns and is expected to vote on whether to publicly release them after a year's long court battle, the committee obtained six years of trump's taxes. he broke with precedent by not making his tax returns public. joining us now is jake sherman, co-tound founder of punch bowl news. what are you watching for during this meeting on trump's taxes?

>> it's a fore gone conclusion that they are going to release them. the democrats have the majority. they are going to go into executive session. they are going to vote. because evident the majority, they are going to release them. the question is when, whether that's today or tomorrow, but i feel, and i hate to say this, i feel like this should be getting -- i thought this would get more attention because of the clambering for so long for these tax returns. the public is finally going to see the tax returns that they clambered for. now the argument from the trump team is that this has no legislative purpose. this was the argument they made in court. and it would be improper for the committee to have them. he lost on that. now the democratic ways and means committee is going to release it. >> so meanwhile, overnight negotiators unveiled a $1.7 trillion deal to fund the government and avert a shutdown. this is cr.

but what do we know about what's in this huge proposal and how likely is it to pass? >> it's going to pass. it's $1.66 trillion. it funds the government through the end of september of 2023. so this pushes off any government funding threat at least thl kind of the end of the summer, early september of next year, given how congress always deals with these things the last minute. one of the top line pieces of information, a big increase in defense spending this is something republicans sought for. $40 billion in aid to ukraine, something that the new incoming house republican majority was a little skeptical of. and there are some big increases on the domestic spending side. obviously, the defense number is the big story here. also a ban on government employees having tiktok on their government phone. this is something that nancy pelosi had you shalled for after josh hawley got this bull through the senate. this is just one of the many

provisions. this came out in the wee hours of the morning. 4,000 pages, it needs to pass by friday. it's tuesday. this is no way to run a railroad, is the only saying. yet it's how the largest and most important country on the planet funds itself every year. >> odds are that all the legislators are going to read every single one of the words on those pages. >> i have a bridge to sell you 23 you believe that. >> thanks. it's great seeing you. we're also following breaking news. tens of thousands of people are without power after 6.4 hag any tud earthquake rocked california. the u.s. geological survey says a quake hit at 10 miles just after 2:30 a.m. local time. there have been no reports of injuries, but humboldt county has reports of widespread damage to roads and home ps take a look

22 past the hour. tomorrow the january 6th committee will release its final report wrapping up 18 months investigation into the attacken the capitol. the committee approved criminal referrals against donald trump to the justice department for what they see as his role in inciting the unsur recollection. we should note the referrals carry no legal weight. the former president slammed the panel in a social heed ya post painting the referrals as an effort to undercut his 2024 presidential bid. joining us now with more is capitol hill correspondent ali vitali and paul butler,

professor and former prosecutor. he's also an msnbc legal analyst. you have been close wit live watching and following the work of this committee. what does the outline tell you about what to expect tomorrow? >> reporter: so major take aways from the hearing and the outline, specifically when it goes to the criminal referrals that were levelled against the former president and against one of his lawyers john eastman. and what they are going to do with the republican lawmakers who defied their subpoenas, but it's also possible that we vice president haven't seen the biggest bomb shells because we have not read that eight-chapter report and all the transcripts and other pieces of evidence that go along with it. we'll be look agent key pieces with when the chairman was saying the referrals, he was referral trump and others. those words are doing a lot. it's a real cliff hanger for the other people who may may think were involved in the conspiracy and obstruction charges.

that's something that raskin told me is going to be in the final report. so certainly, that's one of the key things we're looking for. there's also the open question of peel who may have been dishonest with them. people who may have saud they couldn't recall things they could have recalled. all that is likely to come out when we can read the transcripts ourselves. that's not something that prosecutors, and i'm sure paul will say this too, that's not something that prosecutors are thrilled about because a at doj they love to do this in the shroud of set skret sit. because of the way the committee has both done public hearings and also now the public release of the report, that could make their job harder. but for us, it provides a blueprint now that the public work is done for us to have a better sense of what could be happening behind the scenes at doj. the other key pieces, there were conversations around campaign finance violations, people who fled the fifth, all that is going to be interesting to see if there's more this this report, which we know there is.

>> so let's take it from what ali was talking about. what does the doj do with the referrals? >> so the report has two purposes. the first is for history. the january 6th report will serve as the official record of the worst attack on the capitol since 1812. the second purpose is what the chairman called a road map to justice for the former president. when i was a restaurant, i got the lots of referrals, but never did i get one with these kinds of receipt. so prosecutors will scour the wealth of evidence that the house has gahered, including the hundreds of thousands of documents, text messages and e-mails and the statements of more than 1,000 witnesses. >> what will you be be looking for tomorrow with? >> i will be looking just like ali said for system of the specific details to see who

other than the president is implicated. the committee was laser focused on the form president, but we know from the fake elector scheme that people like john eastman and mark meadows and rudy giuliani helped the former president, but the committee says was a systemic pressure campaign to get state and local election officials, the department of justice and the former vice president to overturn the election. >> thank you so much for being with us. appreciate it. movie mogul harvey weinstein has been found fwlt of rape and sexual assault in his second sex crimes trial. he was found guilty on three of seven charges against him. the jury in los angeles acquitted weinstein on the account of sexual battery and was hung on three other counts. he's serving a 23-year prison sentence in new york, where he was convict of rape and sexual acts. he pleaded not guilty and denies

illnesses in children is fueling record high demand. joining us now with more is gabe gutierrez. is this because there's a shortage or just to prevent one? >> reporter: good morning. it's a little bit of both. many pharmacies across the country, as you mentioned, are struggling to keep up with demand for medications like churn's tylenol and motrin. now some members of congress want the fda to investigate what's behind the shortages. growing concern in the cold and flu aisle, pharmacy sheves stripped bare of the medications that sick kids need the most. as respiratory illnesses in children keep spiking, sales of pain and fever maryland indications have more than doubled from last year. to make sure more people have access, cvs is now restricting purchases of pain relief products to just two at a time, both online and in person. walgreens opposing a purchase limit of six for fever meds blaming increased demand.

the limit only applies toen line purchases, not in store. while the fda says it's not seen widespread shortages of these product, johnson and johnson says it's working to maximize production capacity. but some in congress say more needs to be done. with two sick kids at home, this mom has had to pay her pharmacist extra to compound a special dose of children's ibuprofen. >> the bottle cost $30, which was a lot of money compared to how much a bottle is usually around $13. i did that in the interim, but it's not a sustainable thing for us. >> reporter: doctors say if your kids usual cold and flu meds are sold out, consider buying generic brands. you may be able to give older children adult versions of certain medications, but check with your pharmacist first. if your child has a fever, medication may only be necessary if they are experiencing pain or

discomfort. otherwise use home remedies like cold drinks and a cool towel to the fore head. they can help bring the temperature down. >> i tell parents don't freak out about the actual fever. if the kid is doing well, this is no reason to give them medication. >> reporter: the exception to that is babies under 2 months old if thaef fever, take them to the doctor immediately. and as for the dwindling supply of cold and through medication, the fda is working with manufacturers to better handle those surges in demand. >> gabe gutierrez, thank you. up next, a closer look at what's driving migrants to make the dangerous journey to the united states. a former commander of the southern command joins us next. you're watching "jose diaz-balart reports." -balt arre. n so much, she wished there was a way to make it last longer. say hello to your fairy godmother, alice. and, long lasting gain scent beads.

as we a wait the decision on title 42, we want to take a clers look at what is driving so many people to make the dangerous jour thee to the u.s. to try to request asylum.ney too try to request asylum. they come from four countries. countries dealing with extremeport poverty, hunger, gang violence, dictatorships, among other things with us now is retirelessed admiral, a former nato commander and also who led the u.s. southern command, which overseas operations in central and south america. ed a must recall, it's a pleasure to see you. this is a discussion that i have been looking forward to having with you. we know that nothing happens this a vacuum. there's so many factors in lay when we're looking at this latest movement of folks leaving

their countries. how do you start to tackle the root causes of why people are forced to leave their country and migrate. >> you and i are both from south florida. when i was commander, i lived there ask got to know your family, by the way. all of us from that part of the nation have been watching this very closely. perhaps more so than anywhere else, other than our texas border. so as you correctly point out, the four countries that are really pushing migrants forward have a few things in common, but they are all slightly different. let's do cuba first. i know your family is originally from cuba. you understand that deep political repression there, which have generated a terrible economy. in haiti, kind of in the caribbean as well, you have a witch's brew of disease,

poverty, and gang violence that is currently driving those folks. then you go to venezuela, and here you see political repression, a combination of cuba and haiti. massive refugee crisis, 5 million venezuelans driven out of the country. and you mentioned nicaragua. it's the entire central american area. here it's drugs more than anything else and the gangs that come along with it. so very violent, high level of poverty, disease, particularly in haiti, awful. so the bottom line is what do we do about it? i think there it's complicatd. you have to begin with working with the nations themselves. you have to look at the transit zones and where you can intercede. and finally, you have to have the capability to monitor and

control your borders both from the sea and along that rio river. this is a big complicated problem not getting enough attention. >> and i'm just thinking, how do you negotiate or talk to a country that has a dictatorship in place that uses its own people as lit call pawns. they are the ones who decide to allow out and in. they charge them and work with another country. how do you negotiate with a regime that don't care for their people, but to use their people as political pawns. and then you have a situation like haiti, that you know so well. i know you were involved in humanitarian missions. we have seen a disastrous how military intervention can cause more problems than it solves. >> think let's starlet with haiti very quickly. yes, there have been military

interventions going back 150 years. including many by the united states, by the way. but a successful intervention there was the most recent united nations peace keeping force in place for about 15 years. no troops essentially from the united states that came from brazil, from chully, from jordan, under 10,000 troops. they really stabilized haiti when they withdrew, that's when the complete collapse came. so i think haiti reremains a candidate for another united nations effort. the other nations you mentioned, those you have to negotiate with a repressive regime. the way to do that is with both carrots and sticks. you put in place significant sanctions. we have tried that in all three of those places. but at some point, you have to

think about what are the inisn'tives that can bring that dictator, what can bring him to the table. perhaps some ability to harness the vast energy reserves of nicaragua. so it's got to be done in a sophisticated way. you have to get the organization of american states together. this can't just be the united states. it needs to be regional. >> thank you for your perspective. i appreciate it. it's good to see you. >> thank you. up next, stung revelations from a study on the death among new mother asks what's being done about it. you're watching "georgetown jose diaz-balart reports." watching e diaz-balart reports. what will you change? ♪ will you make something better? ♪ will you create something entirely new?

without power, and that's something you can see from the 10th floor right here. a couple months ago before russia started deliberately targeting ukrainian civilian energy infrastructure, you could see lights for miles and miles all over the capital city. now it's almost completely dark. most ukrainian homes are heated by gas, but electricity is essential, still, for keeping the lights on and for running a lot of the energy infrastructure that will heat ukrainian homes, and that's going to be a major problem, because, josé, it's really cold. this is a problem that is going to continue as long as the russians continue to pummel energy infrastructure, which is what they have been deliberately targeting over the past several weeks, especially since it looks like, according to president zelenskyy and ukrainian intelligence, they got a new fresh shipment of drones from iran, and they are using those drones, those self imploding drones to target energy

infrastructure. the main fighting is on the eastern part of the country, and as you mentioned we heard president zelenskyy -- we saw pictures of him visiting that area and visiting with soldiers just today, and that's a big step, and it's the fiercest fighting and the president in the middle of it, and we saw president vladimir putin with the rare ignition that there is fierce fighting and things are complicated in the four regions that the russians illegally annexed earlier this year, and it looks like even as winter sets in neither side is going to be willing to let up for this new -- this new really cold weather, josé. >> matt bradley in kyiv. take care. thank you so much. it's a national holiday in argentina today to celebrate the world cup champions. thousands of people are packed
