good day. live in miami. this hour, a bomb cyclone crawling east and bringing disastrous weather with it. freezing temperatutemperatures,g snow and windchill days before christmas. look at this whiteout in ohio. at least half a dozen states are under a state of emergency. there is more than 1 million power outages across the country. this historic winter storm is bringing holiday travel to a halt. we will talk to the mayor of

buffalo, new york. he is urging people to stay home. inside the select committee's final report. one of our guests says it reads like a horror novel. the detail on the scope of former president trump's pressure campaign to overturn the results of the election. will the people the committee blames for the attack face what they recommend? we start with the january 6 report. 845 pages of painstaking detail that all come to a single and in the committee's view inescapable conclusion. former president donald trump was the driving force behind the insurrection. in fact, one of the biggest takeaways is the committee's recommendation that congress come up with a way to ensure

trump is never president again. with the new congress in session, just 11 days from now, recommendations like that will not pass. the massive scope of the report shows the efforts to overturn the election went beyond donald trump, involving officials and aides who pushed fake electors and media personalities and a far right extremist who led the charge at the capitol. i want to bring in ryan nobles, who is on capitol hill for us, jake sherman and paul butler, law professor at georgetown and robert gibbs, obama's white house press secretary. he is an msnbc political analyst. thanks for joining us. it's been quite 24 hours or so. we were awaiting a drop of this report. it finally came late last night. we have been spending all night sifting through this. ryan, take us through the reaction we are hearing on the hill.

what do they think in washington is going to come from it? >> reporter: it's interesting you make that point about the timing of all of this. the legislative calendar coming to an end in the next few minutes after they vote on the omnibus package and the lawmakers are going to go home. the january 6 select committee last night issuing 11 recommendations that they would like to see enacted into law. i talked to congressman raskin, a member of the committee about that, about the fact that there isn't enough time to pass these recommendations. he believes over time, as this report starts to settle in and people start to look at the depth of the effort to try to overturn the election, that ultimately congress will come around to enacting many of the reforms. of course, there are the recommendations that were handed over to the justice department in terms of criminal referrals. he hopes the new special counsel will take a look at this information and take it seriously. then that that could lead to indictments and prosecutions. what's interesting is we're not

hearing a lot of feedback from republicans on capitol hill about this. they would like this issue to go away. democrats feel confident that this is the type of report that they were looking for after the 18 months of work this committee put in. even though the clock has run out, this will stand the test of time not only in terms of the reforms that had brings but also the way it is going to record this moment in history for generations to come. >> that really is a major question amidst this. i will ask adam schiff in a couple of minutes that exact question. will this stand the test of time, especially in the new republican-led term starting in january? thank you for joining us. jake, let's start with some of the analysis you were writing about this morning. much of what we read, as you point out in the final report, were things we knew. but it's stunning to see everything really in one place. right? you point out some really important stats. i want to read through it for

folks. in the two months between the november election and the january 6 insurrection, president trump or his inner circle engaged in at least 200 acts of public or private outreach pressure or condemnation targeting either state legislators or state or local election administrators to overturn state election results. in the course of four days, november 30th to december 3rd, they contacted or tried to contact nearly 200 state legislators to line up support for legislation challenging the election. this was such a massive effort, jake, on every level. the focus of this 850-page or so report seemed entirely on the former president of the united states. i'm wondering if you feel as if that strategy will take away the culpability towards these other individuals that were involved. >> i don't think so. i think the report addresses a

lot of them and a lot of the tactics that went into trying to overturn the election. this is putting a bow on the 18-month investigation into january 6. number two, it's a historical document. this document is going to go down in history as the record of the insurrection of the capitol, on the capitol, and the attempt to overthrow the election. number three, mitch mcconnell and i think he speaks for a lot of republicans when he says this, he said, we all know who was responsible for january 6. i think that is how a lot of republicans feel, although they will never say that publically. >> i mean, it's interesting you bring up mitch mcconnell. we will get into that. the sit-down with mitch mcconnell. there's always this cautiousness when it comes to rebukes like we are hearing now from mitch mcconnell. we heard things like that before and then when it seems as if former president gains traction

and popularity, once again, they seem to jump on board behind him once again. paul butler, talk to me about some of the names we heard in this report. chris ruddy, telling trump to force states to pick alternate electors, the list goes on and on. is there a sense that these people will and/or should be charged? >> absolutely. trump's enablers included the people you named and also mark meadows and especially rudy giuliani, who the committee really had a bad attitude about. the committee calls meadows and giuliani trump's co-conspirators. the report depicts giuliani on video and audio and even voicemail incriminating himself. the report includes a message he left for an election official in arizona talking about, we have to get things fixed up and how

awful this is for the republicans. yes, trump is definitely the target of the house committee, but the justice department will be looking at others as well. >> robert gibbs, there's something -- there's a conversation that we had heard before, a text message exchange we read about before. reading it again kind of crystallized things for me. it was an exchange between katrina pierson, one of the rally organized, and brad parscall, former trump campaign manager. they say this. the results of the events of that day were the result of a sitting president asking for a civil war and that this week -- this is they said -- i feel guilty for helping him win now that a woman is dead. she responded with, you realize this was going to happen.

yeah, if i was trump and knew my rhetoric killed someone. she said, it wasn't the rhetoric. he says, yes, it was. i'm confused as to why it seems as if pierson was so unapologetic about what took place that day saying, you knew this was going to happen. how would anybody know this type of thing was going to happen? what is your reaction to this exchange? >> i think we have seen throughout the course of this different people at different times understanding what they have helped unleash, either during a campaign in helping donald trump but particularly in the aftermath of that campaign. i think you have seen witnesses and heard testimony of those that tried to get trump to do something different. even that day trying to get him to calm the insurrection down as it was happening. i think what you are led to and what jake just said and where

mitch mcconnell is and where the report points is it really does point in the single direction of the former president as starting and aiding and abetting all of this. i think that's the conclusion clearly the committee wanted to put an exclamation around. i think that many have come to the conclusion of nearly two years after those deadly events. >> jake, what do you make of the lack of focus on the security breakdown? chairman thompson does address that. but then ultimately kind of does an aboutface but says the blame is on the former president. they could not have anticipated something like this would have come out of essentially a former president calling for this insurrection. no one could have imagined this would happen. what do you make of this strategy of kind of alleviating the blame from security? ultimately, there was a major

security breakdown at the capitol that day. >> republicans have harped on that as the shortcoming or shortfall of the committee. that is their criticism, their way to cut away at the legitimacy of the committee, which has been incredibly successful. number two, i kind of agree with what you are saying. i was here on january 6th. i'm not sure that any security protocol could have stopped the 100,000 or however many people that came into the capitol. i'm not sure short of -- i don't know what would have stopped that. it's a fair question to ask. i think republicans in the new majority are going to ask that question and are going to focus in on that. i get it. i think it's a legitimate question. if you have a limited amount of time and limited resources, as this committee pretty much did, you have to kind of bite off what you can chew in one

direction. that's what they chose to do. >> it's interesting because talking about kind of, you know, the fallout from the lack of security that day, it doesn't exonerate the former president. that narrative doesn't exonerate the former president as republicans would want it to do. but it's stating the obvious, the breakdown of security on that day. anybody that was outside the capitol on that day saw it happen in real time. paul, one last one to you. as you were reading through this whole thing, this final report, does it change your opinion in any way about the likelihood that trump is going to be facing charges? >> i think the big question for the justice department is whether to go with this case, that is the insurrection, or whether to go with the documents case at mar-a-lago. in this final report, really interesting evidence regarding incitement to insurrection. that's the most difficult to

prove of the crimes that the committee recommends trump be prosecuted for. in the middle of the insurrection, one of trump's aides texted, i'm sure potus is loving this. along the same lines, hope hicks testified before january 6th, trump refused to request that his supporters act peacefully. that could be key evidence of incitement. but it's also hearsay, which i judge might not admit in a criminal trial. one of the things federal prosecutors are doing right now is evaluating whether this really incriminating report can be translated to an indictment and prosecution of the former president. >> paul, one last one to you. you said it's one or the other. why? why could it not be both? >> it could be both. it doesn't have to be both. as a former prosecutor, i think you go with your best case. the hard decision for the justice department now, if they decide to prosecute, is what's their best case. >> jake, paul, robert, thank you

all. appreciate you. want to bring in adam schiff, a member of the january 6th committee. congressman, thanks for joining us. i know you are tired. you have had a long run. we appreciate you taking the time to speak with us. you wrote an essay in "the new york times" in which you said you don't want people to forget about the republican lawmakers who encouraged or aided the insurrection. are there members of congress you believe, in fact, should face charges when it comes to january 6th? >> the point of my essay in "the new york times" was to focus on the fact that even after the attack, republicans returned to the house floor and an overwhelming number, the vast majority votd to overturn the election, abdicated their oath of office, chose their allegiance to the president over their allegiance to the

constitution. that is really what put us additionally at grave risk. with all of the focus on the attack that day, let's not forget about the insurrectionists wearing suits and ties. in terms of whether any of them will face prosecution, i will leave that to justice department. i don't think they will face prosecution simply for their betrayal of their oath of office as serious of a matter as that is. to the degree that they may have been involved in the planning behind january 6th, we have to hope that the department of justice has additional evidence to what we provided to determine who was responsible, member of congress or other people held to the same standard. >> congressman, by putting the focus squarely on the former president, do you think it's going to be easier to let the others off the hook? >> no, i don't think so. we did identify others in addition to the president that we believe violated federal

laws. but we also made it very clear in our criminal referrals that this was not an exhaustive list of the individuals that may have committed crimes or of the crimes themselves that were committed. we recognize that we have one body of evidence, the justice department has another. they are overlapping. but we admit the possibility that with the better or additional information they have, there are other people that will face criminal exposure. >> congressman, was there a strategy -- i'm sure you heard part of my conversation. i'm wondering if there was a strategy to not talking more about the security breakdown on that day on january 6. by talking about that narrative, it only helps rebuild, right, be prepared for when and if something like this happens again. certainly, that narrative does not necessarily exonerate the former president. it's for the betterment of everybody all around. >> i agree completely.

in our report in the annex focusing on the intelligence issues, the law enforcement issues, we point out the very serious shortcomings. there was good intelligence, important intelligence before january 6 that an attack was being planned, the capitol was the target of that attack. the failure to assimilate that intelligence, the failure to act upon it, we set out in our conclusion left that capitol unprepared for the violence that ensued. so that's a very important conclusion. i think you are right, it doesn't detract from the central role that the instigator of this violence, donald trump, played in this whole scheme. >> it's interesting because even chair thompson said in this final report that the intelligence community could not have imagined a president of the

united states directing a mob to capitol hill, which could have contributed to the lack of preparedness for what happened on january 6. if you look back to the four years leading up to the january 6th insurrection and the intelligence pointing to what was going to happen on january 6th, the signs were all there, congressman. >> we do point out that there were very important pieces of intelligence that should have been acted upon to better protect the capitol. i think what we are trying to point out in the report is the fact that the president, in the midst of this melee, would add more fuel to the fire, would attack his own vice president even as they are building a gallows outside the capitol. that couldn't have been predicted, at least not with that specificity. but you are right, there was

enough intelligence beforehand to better safeguard the capitol and the people in it. as we point out in our conclusion on that section analyzing the law enforcement failures, the failure to act upon that intelligence, the failure to share it left those police officers far more exposed than they should have been. those are going to be -- those deficiencies need to be addressed. some have been addressed. that is also very important. >> congressman, one last quick one. how do you keep the focus on the work of the committee in the new congress? >> this is a great question. i raised this with my fellow committee members that there may be a role for us in the future, much as there was for the 9/11 commission. when the 9/11 commission finished their work, their recommendations had not been implemented. they spent the next year or two

barnstorming around the country, lobbying members of congress to make necessary reforms to protect us from another 9/11-type attack. that was successful. we have been spared that attack. similarly, we will need to spend the next couple years either the committee or others in combination with outside groups to make sure that the recommendations in this report don't lie fallow. they are acted upon to protect against another recurrence of this kind of tragedy. >> congressman schiff, thank you. appreciate it. coming up, life-threatening cold. mountains of snow. one of the busiest travel days of the year. straight ahead, an update on the path of this dangerous bomb cyclone sweeping across the country and the huge impact it is having on airports two days before christmas. if that wasn't enough to worry about during the holidays, the new cdc warning about a rise

welcome back. a historic winter storm, a bomb cyclone, pummeling the country this holiday season. more than 200 million people are under some weather warning or advisory. this is the scene in holland, michigan, where snow is barrelling down. a powerful arctic front sweeping

across the eastern third of the nation and bringing what could be widespread, record low maximum temperatures. two days before christmas. if you are traveling, you know or you have heard about the chaos. today, more than 2,000 flight delays, 3,000 cancellations. want to bring in maggie vespa. bill karins is tracking this storm for us. maggie, let me start with you. you are at the heart of this thing, chicago. that airport is packed. seeing i think 100 cancellations today. i'm sure that number is growing. take us there. >> reporter: it's growing. what you are pointing out, which is interesting, is a new intentional mitigation effort by the airlines to not have the video and images we saw over the summer. we saw last holiday season make

it on the airwaves and go viral on internet, people sleeping in the airport, on the ground waiting for a new flight after theirs was canceled. a lot of the cancellations were pre-emptive, hours or a day or more earlier. the goal was to keep people from showing up here and asking airline employees and airline staff to help them rebook in person. it seems to some degree that has worked. as you pointed out, hundreds of flights canceled here alone. 500 preemptively yesterday. that continues today here in chicago. we have a lot of people running around asking for help from employees, asking for help if their flight has been delayed or worried it's going to be canceled. my producer and i stayed near here last night because we were afraid we wouldn't be able to drive here in the morning. that was packed with people with all kinds of stories about canceled flights hoping to get out over the next couple of days. nationwide, this is what we are seeing. ice storm in seattle. alaska flights are being

grounded. ground stops from phoenix to milwaukee to memphis. this travel chaos continues. the ripple affect grows. we are less than 48 hours until christmas. plans are in serious peril. >> maggie, thank you. i will let you get back to it. appreciate you. let's talk about another issue. guad, you are in el paso. you have two major stories. you have this weather crisis along with a border crisis as well. you have people out there having to sleep outside. 20-degree temperatures. very unusual for that area. is there housing for them? are they getting any help? anywhere to stay? >> reporter: earlier today, we came out here as early as 5:00 a.m., and it was 19 degrees. the windchill report said 11. this is where they slept. you can see a lot of them have gotten up. this is what's happening every morning. they wake up and fold a lot of

the blankets. this wall, what you see, these are the multiple blankets that people have given them. they unfold them, they make beds here. all along the sidewalk is where they sleep as tight as they can to stay warm. this is the shelter that has been taking in women and children. they can only fit i think it's 160 to 180, no more than 200, that leaves a lot of the single men out here. people will bring food to help them. they bring hot drinks. one of the things a lot of them told me was that they got hot soup last night, but some of them had their food freeze before they could he's it because it got so cold. i will walk over in this direction. there's a bus that authorities brought. this bus was used to bring in people that just couldn't take the cold. some of them were freezing outside. they went in the bus overnight. authorities tell me they think will bring another bus. we know that local city and

county authorities in el paso did open up for shelters to offer places to sleep for a lot of the migrants that have the documents. the issue in el paso is that a lot of the migrants are not asylum seekers. they have not turned themselves in to border patrol. they don't have a document. they tell me it's difficult to find a shelter that will take them. the only shelters helping this particular group of migrants are the catholic churches. then again, there's a church that said, we can take you there. they didn't know if they could get on the bus. it's a communication issue. it's a weather issue. then, of course, you have status in the country because we have the ones that are seeking asylum, but you have undocumented migrants that from flooded into el paso. this is one of the cities at the border where this is happening. we expect the temperature to drop tonight into saturday. a lot of these people will stay on the street.

>> my gosh, here is hoping as many people can find shelter as possible. thank you for bringing us that. i will let you go. bill, take us through this. you got these crazy low temperatures in texas. two stories colliding. people sleeping on the street there. 19 degrees, feels like 11. you got chicago, thousands of cancellations across the country. these images coming out of just snow pummeling areas. now it's being called a bomb cyclone. right? what is the criteria to reach that level? >> it's a measure of the pressure. the stronger the storm, the lower the pressure. if it can do it quickly, get to a low pressure, it's called a bomb cyclone. it happens with nor'easters or other powerful storms in the middle of the country. rare for the gate lakes. when you get a storm that can be this intense, the biggest issues are wind and then that wind

drives the cold air to the south. more in areas that don't typically get it. this morning, we have had 1.5 million people without power. that's a lot of people dealing with these cold temperatures out there across the country. the highest winds in buffalo. 79 mile per hour gust. portland, maine, 64. in high elevations, one of the highest peaks, gusted into the 90 mile per hour range. the high winds will continue. the power outages will go up probably for another six to 12 hours. then people will get power back on as we go through the holiday weekend. that's like christmas eve and christmas. how about the power crews out there having to work all weekend to get power back on? in the northeast, a cold front went through washington, d.c., philly, heading to new york city. it will get to boston by the time we get to late afternoon. it will sweep up through northern new england. everyone east of the rockies will be in this arctic air mass. the temperatures, amazing, 53 in

northern vermont. it's negative 4 in cleveland. this is the last of the warm air. it's warmer in northern new england right now than in south texas and for that matter in some areas of florida. 172 million people, more than half of the population of our country, is feeling the brunt of the windchills. here it is. still at 11 in san antonio, in houston. tallahassee now below freezing. the cold air is heading to florida. where it's dangerous, where you can get frostbite in the northern plains and through the great lakes. we said going into this storm it was so far reaching. nashville had its coldest temperature since 1996. houston, second coldest since 1989. water rescues from coastal flooding in the queens area of new york city. it keeps going. so many aspects of the storm. everybody has a story. >> wow. incredible. bill, we appreciate you tracking

this for us. a lot of folks across the country obviously affected and keeping tune to what's happening. thank you. coming up, we will win. that is president zelenskyy's message to his people after returning to ukraine following his historic trip to washington, d.c. coming up, just how big of a difference will a u.s. patriot air defense system make to the war effort? you are watching msnbc. we will be right back.

welcome back. ukraine's president back home in kyiv after his trip to washington, d.c. in a video posted from his office today, he said, we are working for a victory. have a great day. we will win. the $1.7 trillion spending package that passed the senate yesterday, includes $45 billion in additional aid for ukraine. it now goes to the house for approval. joining me now is jeff mason and retired lieutenant general ben hodges. welcome to you both. thanks for joining us. general, let me start with you.

this pronouncement, promise to send the patriot air defense system to ukraine. talk to us about how that will help ukraine's efforts against moscow. >> this is an important contribution by the united states. the patriot is best in class for knocking down ballistic missiles and fixed-wing aircraft. it's not a weapon you would use against drones, but it's something useful against ballistic missiles. the capability is significant. the fact that they are so rare, so few of them, this represents a real commitment by the united states, which will inspire other countries to also provide capability. we have to be clear about what this means in terms of capacity. have reasonable expectations. one battery of patriot has about six launchers. if it's properly integrated into the existing network, that's enough to protect one big city like kyiv. it's not going to provide a shield over all of ukraine.

>> if you can fact check this for me. you have president putin saying, patriot defense system is dated -- outdated, less effective than russia's s-300. what's the truth on this? >> of course, he is wrong. it's interesting that the president of the russian federation would spend time trying to denigrate a weapon system that not only is being provided to ukraine but with so many other nations purchasing now because they want it because they have that capability. clearly, the kremlin is concerned about this capability for ukraine. also, we are all concerned that iran might beiles to russia. the patriot would be helpful against that. >> jeff, unpack something for me. there was a column in "the washington post" talking about president zelenskyy's trip to washington. he wrote, when a ukrainian reporter asked whether he would

give kyiv long distance missiles that could strike russia, biden answered that giving ukraine such potential attack weapons would have a prospect of breaking up nato. he said nato allies are not looking to go to war with russia. they are not looking for a third world war. if you can, unpack this moment for us. >> absolutely. when president biden said nato allies are not looking for a third world war, he includes the united states in that calculation. it's not just the allies in europe. it's also this country. that has been the sort of delicate dance the u.s. and nato generally have been dancing since the beginning of this war. certainly, nato and certainly the united states have been supportive of ukraine, sending money and ammunition and weapons. but they have not wanted to come -- they have not wanted to cross that line. that's what biden was referring

to there specifically in response to that question. >> there's this moment that david talks about in the distance between how this war ends. the view of how this war ends from president biden's perspective versus the view of how this war ends with president zelenskyy's viewpoint. at some point next year, the tension beneath the surface will have to be addressed. there will need to be greater clarity on what ukraine's success looks like short of absolute victory. at this point, we know the ukrainian army has been or was severely underestimated going into this conflict. they have outperformed over and over again. but how do they bridge that gap, these two leaders, as the united states and its allies continue to help ukraine? >> i think you are right to highlight that part of the column. he mentioned the difference,

which you were referencing as well, between president zelenskyy's reference to absolute victory and president biden's reference to a just peace. they are not the same. finding the difference between those two i think is what the columnist is suggesting is what the two leaders and two countries will need to find in the coming months, weeks, whatever the timetable is. the broader idea is, how do you get to peace? both sides want peace. when i say both sides, the united states and ukraine. the president of ukraine is making clear from his perspective, it's a total victory over russia. i think president biden probably without saying it just doesn't see that as completely realistic. >> jeff, thank you. general, thank you as well. straight ahead, a new warning from the cdc two days before christmas. doctors are now seeing this alarming spike in invasive strep
