and thank you for joining us this saturday. i'm s. christmas deep freeze. extreme cold and whiteou conditions, leading to - multiple deaths.

we have live reports first straight ahead also key takeaways from th january six committees intensive 800 plus-page report -- and we're gonna take you liv to ukraine, where there are ne taxes -- as president zelenskyy returns from his first trip to the united states since russia wag war. but, let's start this hour for you with the severe weathe across the country looking like less of a winte wonderland and you probabl guessed, it more like nightmare for many the dangerous storm has caused nearly 20 deaths across te states more than 1 million people are without power this christmas eve, from north carolina t maine. the big concern right now, freezing temperatures, not allowing snow and ice to mel away, to get off those roads that you see right there check out what it looks like i buffalo, new york, all of this you can imagine leading to bad news that airports, not only o the roads getting from a to b.

passengers remaining strande after thousands of cancellations and delays a airports all across th country. angie glassman has the lates forecast will it start with nbc's emily -- when shakir, traveling, it's clearly warmer inside the car. benton harbors all the way o that side of the hand. -- >> it is cold so we did come inside, but the more dangerous thing we were dealing with was the combination of the snow in the win. that's when you saw most of th problems yesterday the wind is starting to tape off a little bit, it's still there but it's starting to taper off. take a look at the roa conditions we are facing right now. you see the roads are still lot of work to be done on them here at one point, this was highway that was partially shu off. you had michigan state polic saying do not take this road but at another point it wa

because of a pileup, cars pile up here. the problem is the visibilit changes as a moments notice. you see right now, you can see the car in front of me, bu with the winds that we wer experiencing earlier, much o the day yesterday, you had complete white out conditions. visibility was zero on some of these roads. that was a concern that yo were seeing. but really the focus is what you're seeing in buffalo areas in the northeast right now where they are dealing wit what we are seeing a couple of days ago or a day ago at thi point. that's when you're having thos whiteout conditions. buffalo is expecting 3 to feet of snow they're dealing with a historic blizzard, according t a meteorologists are telling us officials are telling people t stay inside, emergency vehicle are getting stuck in som areas. there are also power outages a a system continues to make its way across the country more than 1 million people without power as we are lookin

at it right now. definitely still tough conditions, even though th snow may be stopping for certain people, still be concerned about frigid temperatures and of course the wind that continues to whip up even the snow that's on th ground already richard >> we can see right beside you on the window on the left. let's go over to emily we've been talking t frustrated travelers, with weather like that we, folks ar not getting to where they want to go. >> yes, the christmas weeken getting off to a not-so-mary start. getting out for the holidays i proving difficult in some part of the country, treacherous. especially if that trip home involves the flight. we've got one of those departures screens, there's 27 flights listed, on nine of the 27 flights are experiencin some kind of disruptions, delay or cancellation. on thursday and friday we sa

more than 8000 fligh cancellations. today, just part of the wa through the day, we are alread seeing more than 2000 flight cancellations. another 5000 flight delays the buffalo airport we're just learning from new york's governor will be closed throug monday around 11 a.m.. on the ground here i philadelphia, frustrations are running high as so man travelers are racing to reac loved ones in time for christmas. take a listen. >> not very optimistic i'm thinking possibly tomorrow we are hoping for either later today or tomorrow. >> when did you find out tha your flight was canceled >> like an hour before departure. so, very last minute >> frustrating >> yes, very frustrating very tired >> i don't care what time i ge there today adjustments th migrants on. >> and the travel nightmar extends from the runways to th roadways, roughly nine in te

americans traveling this holiday week will be getting behind the wheel, but you won' find much released their especially in the upper u.s. o great lakes region another day in certain pockets of zero visibility in other parts of the country, lingering and residual threa is black ice make sure you are exercising caution as soon as you step ou your door. if you're getting behind the wheel. keep in mind richard, th severe weather is not just impacting travelers, but shipping carriers that incredible time. -- up to 15% of last-minute deliveries today could b delayed richer >> - angie, a very hairy christmas, right? because the weather is harry out there. i'm looking at the map by your side at the moment, and in bot places that chacon emily irat, it doesn't look like it's gonn be warm. >> it definitely won't

it will take a couple of day to rebound from the easter half of the country. anywhere east of the rockies i gonna take a few days to rebound to those more normal values, and then we will dow the line and up to be warmer than normal for this time of year but we still have a lot to dea with with the system we've bee tracking for days. the good news is, it is on its way out. it is moving north and east. now into parts of canada we're not gonna be worryin about it for that much longer. but we have another day or so, where some locations like th one emeline shacker in are still gonna be dealing with couple of these leftover impacts. one of the ones i mentioned is lake effect snow that is happening in places like buffalo. already treacherous conditions they've been dealing with fo more than a day. they will continue to see thes lake effect snow bands set u shop -- you've heard us reports of the buffalo airport will be closed until monday here's why we're still dealing with not just the lake effect snow, but also the blowing winds, th

strong wind gusts leavin visibility really difficult fo anyone to get out. that's gonna be something will watch. not to mention behind the winds, we're still dealing with tha arctic air richer. >> all right angie, thank yo so much two more days shaq an emily, that's what we gott look forward to. i appreciate all three of you. it's been two days since the january six committee released its final report it continues to reach more material pointing out more transcripts from witness interviews such as bill barr pat cipollone, katie mcenany hope hicks, and ivanka trump just to name a few josh, walk us through this were two days after th transcripts. what is standing up to now >> in a lot of respects, wha we are seeing from these transcripts are really the details that underpin the broa themes that the january si committee laid out, both i those televised hearings tha

we'll watch, and of course i their final report as you could see, these ar some of the individuals who ar the closest to president trump and his inner circle in th days on and around january 6th this is really filling in a lo of the color for what exactl some of those moments were like we are hearing both from som of the witnesses here, who are people like hope hicks, an aid who's been close to th president since the very beginning. talking about, speaking with the president, in the wake o january six and what are conversations with him wer like we also heard from cayle mcenany, the former white hous press secretary who also talks about getting a text message she believes from donald trump following january six. she said she didn't respond to and then we hear from sydney powell, the attorney tha became so notorious due to her

work try to convince people an courts about allegations o election fraud what i find so interesting i some of these transcripts, needs to see the minute by minute negotiations over wha they're gonna say in wha they're refusing to tell the committee. some of these people, like sydney, tyler peering unde subpoena -- the others are speakin voluntarily. -- refusing to answer any questions that have to do what he and the president trump spoke about individually he believes that should be covered by president trump's assertion of executive privilege. all of the biden white house insisted there was no executiv privilege covering any of thes discussions. and everyone saw with the note of congress richer >> thanks so much for that overview josh lederman at the white house.

joining us now to talk mor about this is university o michigan law professor barbara mcquade. -- david, i want to get to what josh was just reporting on in second but we do have some breaking news out of arizona. a judge today ruled agains republican kari lake's bid t overturn arizona's 202 election kari lake says she will appeal this ruling. and he surprised about the ruling and what might be next? >> no. this was part two of the big lie. she lost by a sound amount there were recounts an examinations and yet she's out ther claiming she won by half 1 million votes. this is a donald trump playboo that began on election night i 2020 and before election night. they just think they can gaslight the country that's the thing about the report, having read all 80 pages. the amount of mendacity, the

amount of lying and falsehoods from donald trump and all thes other people around him during the months after the electio and the last two years is so one nance. we live through it day by day. but when you see it piled up i the report, it becom staggering that this is what's happening within our political culture. it led directly to kari lake trying to pull off with donald trump could not, her own littl clue in arizona. >> - when you look at it, wha stands out to you now? >> well, one thing i think tha gives me some hope for the justice department, in terms o criminal prosecution, is we sa so many of these wetness u

stonewalling the committee, ye there was still able to tell a very compelling story. the justice department wil have additional tools they can use to bring to bear to make them talk. i think the committee likely was very reluctant to immunize any of these witnesses they didn't immunized any of them i think that's the lesson we learned during the iran contra hearings, when oliver nort received immunity, and his later prosecution wa overturned because the prosecutors were unable to say that they had untainted by anything that it come out of those very public hearings i think rather than get th testimony, now they preserve the ability for the justic department to decide who t prosecute who'd immunized down the road they took what they can get. and they got a lot but with those tools available to them, the justice departmen now can selectively gran immunity to compel witnesses when you give someone immunity they lose their fifth amendmen right to testify against

themselves, and that could mea they can be forced to fill i the remaining gaps >> looking at the shift of the justice does departmental, suppress the prosecutor. those pieces of informatio that will make their way tha way. the question might be, those 1 legislative recommendations, will those happen because they don't have control over do necessarily right? >> they don't have control ove the doj. the house republicans coming into power in a couple of week are part of the big lie, conspiracy, several of them ar named within the report for no cooperating. they were part of variou conspiracies to overturn the election they're not gonna do anything, they're gonna run away and try to recover from this barbara's right, things no shifts to the justic department what issue we have with that i the justice department operate in secrecy

it's supposed to to reserve people's privac rights to maintain the integrity of investigations. what they fine, when they're giving immunity or getting mor information from these witnesses who wouldn't cal operate with the january six committee, we may never know unless the information is used in an indictment and crimina case, the justice department may not bring it out the special counsel may have the right and they want to write his own report that will expand on what we've got but now it goes into this blac box. we as a country, trying to mak sense of the ethics to overthrow the election of what happened on january six, we ar left with the report which is very strong foundation o reaching international consensus on what happened >> barbara, if you wer critical of what you fret so far in the report, if you look at the wall street journal, an editorial board saying the

truth they don't stress enough is the u.s. institutions hel is their headline from the editorial board. how would you react to wha they're saying >> that's great. that's all well and good, bu that doesn't mean a crim wasn't committed i would suggest that a littl bit of a misdirection. it's wonderful tha institutions helped, maybe nex time they won't, maybe nex time when coups, failed or i often a follow-up to tha succeeds i think we need to examine our institutions to look at wher those fault lines are in tryin to make improvements, like the electoral count act, the thing that donald trump tried to drive a truck through. make sure nobody can do it again. make sure there's no ambiguity whatsoever what the committee has done is very important if i were to criticize them of i would say the singular focus on donald trump may be to th detriment of the country no doubt they want to tell compelling narrative they don'

want to victims blame with law enforcement who is very much a victim of this attack, but tha doesn't mean the campy prove mince their. and they talked about that i the dependencies the rise in violent extremism. the failure of the intelligenc community to communicate thi threat the failure of law enforcement to be ready on that day. those are all very for criticisms that should require some self reflection and som improvements to make sur doesn't happen again >> barbara mcquade, david coren, thank you both so much for you time coming up, we're just a week away from the new year, just a few weeks away from a ne congress with this new class of legislators would look like an whether kevin mccarthy can wit the speakers gavel later, journalists who had their counsel spend it o twitter still have not had the reinstated why the washington post says that is.

117th congress went out with a bang, passing a 101.7 trillion dollar spending bill -- negotiated by top democrats an republicans, including mitch mcconnell. while house minority leade kevin mccarthy blasted the deal, calling it a monstrosity despite that, mcconnell says h is pulling for mccarthy as speaker, as republicans gear u to take over the house majorit after two years of democrati

control. let's turn to julie -- what's the reaction right now? >> kevin mccarthy actually visited with senate republican this week in a last-ditc effort to try to get them in line, and try to get them to hold the line in opposin passage of this 1.7 trillion dollar bill. he was on the floor yesterda when the house was considering passage of this he only spoke for 2 minutes. when he tried to obstruc passage of build back better he cast a record breaking eigh hour speech on the floor for keep making for keeping that from happening -- kevin mccarthy, who is vying for be speakership gather, has an uphill battle, to appeal to president trump's bigges allies in congress who do no want him to be elected to that

post -- i think he was hoping not to according to sources i was talking to now getting into the new congress, his message to republicans in the senate this week was to hold the line, t stick together next, year when it comes to spending a appropriations especially. he pointed out on the floo yesterday the fact that ther was no money for border fundin in there, there is n immigration reform, obviousl that will be a big thing tha house republicans who are gonn be focused on next year. there's a lot of good in thi bill most of it is not somethin americans would feel necessarily unless congres didn't pass this bill to fun the government through september 30th of next year. some other things you see, republicans were able to kee united in the senate because o how much defense spending wa in the bill. more defense spending, - 's nine republicans ended up joining the democrats to pass,

it but seven of those nine not showing up next year >> how is the tone of mccarthy 's eight minutes or ten minute characterized? because we have to look forwar to the next congress right and how he will be conducting speaker the majority in th house. >> he stood on the floor on th floor yesterday, he called thi a monstrosity, an enormously terrible bill. in conversations with senate republicans, he told m afterwards, it was all about unity. he wants to keep republicans together as the public sees there's a lot of infighting going on among republicans. his goal was to have as -- both ends of the house in th senate are on the same page. it's gonna be a big -- >> all right, julie tsirkin, thank you so much. for more now, i want to brin

in democratic -- as we look at what we saw at the end of this week looking for the next congress, is th tone are we gonna see any shift is there any indication of the way he feels he will need to govern the majority in the house? it's the tone that we hear this past week is an indication, we're not gonna ge too much different than what w saw on the last two years. >> i tend to agree with that all that i can think of is the next two years, full o retaliate tory strikes against democrats, trying to find a wa to match the january six committee hearings, trying t figure out how to matt's impeachment against donald trump in a way that using th gavel, republicans think the might be able to roll out

narrative, a stronger narrativ than democrats laid out over the last couple of years successfully i might add my sense is you're going to se a lot of attempts that retaliation. i think, you're gonna see a lo of chaos within the republican party. that's why it's so incredibl important that jeffries wa elected the next minorit leader, it was done unanimously, to show that there was consensus for his candidac candidacy, and for democrats policymaking going forward i don't think you will get tha on the republican side david, looking back to on that omnibus bill that you followed nine republicans voted for seven which are not coming bac to the next congress, to our t leaves, what do you see? >> i think it is an exercise and gop unity.

in a typical environment, 30 o 40 republicans would've vote for him. they're in the middle of a heart family conversation. i don't think kevin mccarthy will be the next speaker of th house. he has more votes than anybody but he doesn't have enough under the rules of the house it's not about being defeate by being another candidate it's about whether we can crus the threshold of 218 votes, he can only lose 45 look at the 90 lost on thi budget vote alone. seven of those will be leaving we already know there are five hard nosed against kevin mccarthy this will be republicans i disarray, as basil points out. i don't think they'll be a legislative agenda whomeve leads the republican caucus fo the next two years, we can expect significant investigations - the investigations are about beating joe biden in 2024 an reelecting donald trump.

that is their agenda for the next two years >> the wonderment u2 will have in the next couple of weeks, wondering what it will be like in the next congress let's look back. there was an interesting article written by lis mosquero and her headline is congress's word of chaos and in achievement i don't know, there's not many headlines like that that we've seen out there -- chuck schumer is comparing thi past session to lbj an franklin roosevelt's administration do you feel that -- >> that's a tough question t answer >> that's an easy swing righ there. i'm saying that to the democra here >> i wouldn't compare to lg lb or fdr, the sweeping polic

packages that really left of the country out of difficult and economic times, and time of racial tension and animus right, frankly i think wha democrats in the senate have done, they've shown th american people how to govern. coming out of a time o incredible chaos that really i the important lesson there the fact that democrats were abl to get so many independents in this midterm election and th government vote for candidates it says a lot about th prospects going into this next congress for the ways in which democrats like chuck schumer - >> david quickly to you here one of the examples here is th rare moment -- the passage of the emmett till anti-lynching act. do you think this was a good -

>> common sense gun reform, yo can go down the list a lot to voices of adulation they're not minor battles. their new gingrich and joh boehner. new gingrich said don' underestimate joe biden in the success of the last two year with a democratic congress and then john -- saying nancy pelosi is a woman who knows how to be productive in the house and the senate. if republicans are saying, tha democrats have a lot to run on in two years >> evoking voices of christmases past there thank you. good conversation. coming up for, you the twitter files. while several journalist ellen have not had their twitter accounts restored. e than just a car.

journalists who are suspende from twitter for legit

violations have yet to get their accounts reinstate today. an article in the washington post said the journalists have not deleted the original tweet that drew elon musk's ire. -- angelo, where do you want to start? right before christmas i'm curious about the new ceo, no new ceo he took the vote, he says no they're bots >> yes, i think it's inevitabl that he may find some of the - ultimately, when you think about a ceo role, who is the ultimate decision-maker? he doesn't care about the titl of ceo he's talked about this befor it multiple conferences. he's gonna be th decision-maker that's not going to change so we may see an improvement he may bring in somebody who could be a better manager, but ultimately it could still be subject to his winds and policies and his decisions

that is what really what matters most to the users on the future of the platform >> he is a hands on manager. we saw that with his other two companies historically he's still gonna be right in the middle right >> exactly that's right he really sees this as a avatar for his own ideology an its own interests. it doesn't really matter who has the title of ceo it's gonna be an extension o him and his worldview. >> just for today, is a long mosque getting too close to th flame? the atlantic reporting tha musk is quote, lightin billions of dollars on fire. if you look at some of the charts that i was looking at insurance of market value an compared to the s&p that are right in front of us versus th -- everything should say he is no lighting billions of dollars o fire, but he is, what is happening? >> he is

he's in a bit of a bind here this drama played out ever since he made the original offer. but when he made the origina offer, it actually wasn' something he could sustain what he was hoping to do i brute force his way in and convince a bunch of othe people to invest in his ventur so he wasn't responsibility fo the entire or not. the reason why he didn't d that, is the way he's paying for all of, this is that he' borrowing against test liu stock, against his own stock he's not really a lot to bal out more than a few dollars on the value of his stop. so every time the value of the stock goes down, he is susceptible to what he's taken now they can say hey, pay, u give us back the capitol you took or give us more stock it's he's really not able to borrow very much money without putting almost all of his to on the line. -- a lot of it is already rar leverage further deals he's in a bind when he took over twitter, h drove away all their revenue

twitter was already losing a couple of hundred millio dollars a year he's basically multiply that b ten now. these entire advertising faces walked away from the platform. they've done that, not because of him personally, but basically because of all the things he's done, specifically around brands safety the ruling on that back. >> he's moved forward. the question is has he jumpe the shark here and gone too far? when you look at all three o this companies, the exposure we're, getting the information in terms of the way he makes his bread, people are not gonn like this either of these three? >> that's exactly right. ultimately, he is somebody tha was truly -- that is the view he sees the world ultimately, that ideolog splashing with reality the real fulcrum here is tesla that is where he gets an derives not most of his revenu from than most of his influence,

because he's that a rule t leverage that revenue, that, money that stock - but that's not a lock deal he only has about 13% of tha company. they could kick him out. there's a limit to how much he can sell he just had a shareholders recently, that he wasn't gonna sell any more stop that's gonna put him in a bind moving forward he probably have to back awa from that promise. because he won't be able t bring in new revenues. here's what this means he's hoping for one thing. he's hoping that if he - reconvert force his way into a alternative revenue model. if you can just get over thi crisis, he can roll out some new products and new promises, some new way that actually brings and investors that gets in the lifeline, or that flips the tide on revenue an convinces everyone tha convinces everyone tha ultimately this is gonna be sustainable business it's gonna get a lot hotter, a lot, worse over the next two
