urgency from people on the ground here at the philadelphi airport. as vehicles to christmas people are trying to fin last-minute options, different roadways to find a different flight you really feel for these so many stranded travelers who ar trying to race to reach thei loved ones a time fo christmas. i spoke with one woman who sadly broke down in tears as she described to me -- we watched her she went from airline to airline, trying to find flight which would get her hom or released with family to california she was just not having much luck and fortunately, there are a lot of people in a similar position on thursday and friday, we saw more than 8000 fligh cancellations. today, we are only part of the way through the day. we are already seeing more tha 2000 flight cancellations, another 5000 delays on top o that a bit more extreme i situations like the buffal airport. that's going to be close through at least monday. according to the new our governor, other airports are

still having to de-ice plane before takeoff from a runways to roadways t railways, officials also are warning that amtrak is experiencing a number of disrupted aligns we are speaking to travelers here about their frustrations. take a listen. >> i have nowhere to go. i'm stuck here i can see -- i've gone past every singl airline. we don't have enough money they won't refund us he ended up hooking the up last-minute, to seize on a flight, 7:30 in the mornin tomorrow not only that, he worked it ou with his family molly -- me and my boyfriend get hotel. we have food vouchers for when we come here, i'm actually really happy it's a christmas miracle >> she said it's a bit of christmas miracle. we checked in with julia

throughout the day, a very different mood or morale in th morning compared to now. it seems like she's going to enjoy part of christmas da with her family. we're very happy for her i that regard. if your flight was disrupted, few things to keep in mind try calling the airlines international hotline to avoid this traffic the key here is multi tasking. you want to call, saying the customer service line versus in? you can use the chat feature s you can increase your chance of getting to a representative as soon as possible. >> we have all been there an on that. we are calling we are chatting. i emilie ikeda, thank you so much the january six committee is working right up to the -- the tries to wrap up a year an a half investigating the capitol attack the panel put out dozens of ne witness transcripts late las night from several significant figures of trump's inner circle,

including his attorney general and his daughter nbc news's julie tsirkin is in washington for us on thi overview julie we are going to get more potentially. >> we are. up until the holiday weekend up until next week's holiday within months new year's eve they are going to keep releasing these transcript every single day you see some of those on you screen the committee released close yesterday, including the forme attorney general bill barr kayleigh mcenany, ivanka trump just to name a few the committee released their 800 plus-page report this week you have been hearing all da -- no bombshells, but the breadth of their work over the last 18 months, these transcripts just prove it all over 1000 witness interviews the committee managed to conduct, more than 1 million documents they received. i want to read you a part of hope hicks's transcript. she is a longtime aide to th former president she was working for him up

until the 11th hour. after november 7th - i was so struck by this when i was reading this she did not have much influenc over him anymore this one piece you are seein on your screen was a conversation she had with th former president on januar 11th, five days after th attack on the capitol. he, meaning trump, asked me if i thought it was really as bad as everyone was making it ou to be. my answer was yes. i thought it was she did not say that the forme president took that in any which way. he was more so surprised tha people were angry with him a they were for what happened on january 6th. on monday, the committee revealed that they held hi fully responsible. they said that one man and woman only world timidly responsible for what happene on january 6th without the former president that would not have happened take a listen to what jami raskin said last night o msnbc. i should note that he was on of the people who was tasked with bringing thes recommendations to the ful committee in terms of who to refer to the department of justice. watch. >> it's just impossible to

think of any of this happening without donald trump being the central instigator of the whol thing. if someone has a theory abou why it was really antifa tha did it, bring the evidence forward. this is not an agatha christ novel. we know exactly who did it >> the committee laying th blame squarely on the former president. it's now up to the departmen of justice if they wil prosecute him and what his closest allies are richard? >> julie, thank you so much. julie tsirkin on the over new. let's bring in >> -- also known as -- the author of branding america joe, we're going to get more we got a lot already when does this end >> it ends when there ar indictments is my hope when there are legislative changes. i think the report of th

committee makes clear that there are gaps in our laws which need to be fixed the electoral count act ha already been taken care of i the past legislation there is so much more that needs to be done lawyers need to be hel accountable as well for advice life, for example, the cassidy hutchinson advice. i don't remember, i don' recall i want everyone listening to know that when you tell someon to say that when they actually remember, that asking them t commit perjury that is a felony it's a felony for the witnesse who says it, it's a felony for the person who does that perjury, the layers involved it's something that richar nixon said during watergate. he said, oh, witnesses, you ca always say that you don' remember, i don't recall, even if you do. no, you cannot it's illegal >> noel, one of the things tha stood out was liz cheney she is clearly a voice who was getting progress down, bringin

in republicans as was just mentioned by jill to giv testimony. >> absolutely. let's trainee has been behin this effort along with ada kinzinger. what is going to be very interesting is when we have new congress going forward what is going to happen to that? one thing i will quickly say i the fact that due to wha happened in the midter elections when the majority of trump backed candidates did no make it through very well an mitch mcconnell even came ou and said that these candidates did not do very well, this might encourage people i congress to go ahead and strik their vote against trump the fear of ramifications is not going to be very severe as we have seen it played out i the midterm elections. >> jill, 11 legislativ recommendations. will those happen? do they carry weight will we see them actuall happen in congress >> well, in a divided congress

like we have, a lot of it is iffy they are all good proposals. they are all things that i think are essential and should be done. i hope that with the sli margin that exists in the house, there will be a few republican who will see the need for this legislation and who will joi in the democrat's in supportin it there is a majority of democrats in the center. because of the silly filibuste rules, they need additiona votes from publicans they are seeing the wrong-ness of donald trump and how bad he is for the republican party an the damage she is doing. they will support him fo political reasons. i don't care why they supporte as long as these things become a law and are investigated and

we move forward from there >> moving forward, noel, tha the question kevin mccarthy, will he get it we saw some of his tonality in his rejection of the 1.7 trillion josie? >> well, this is ver interesting and exportin republicans against each other because, if you look at th republican party platform, i will have to tell you that one of the biggest things that w pride ourselves on is the fact that we are very fiscall responsible. the fact that kevin mccarthy spoke out against the 1. trillion dollar ending deal, i think a lot of rubble kim's ar favorable about that that being said, i think tha they are also looking for mayb a change in leadership due t the fact that donald trump has been - a lot of people within the republican party are extremely fatigued with the donald trump sideshow >> we will see if that happens
