year let's start with the sever weather that is wreaking havoc across the country this holida weekend. in and on this christmas day msnbc correspondent jess curses here in new york city ready to update us on th winter storm and frigi temperatures and nbc news correspondent shemarri stone is in arlington virginia with the latest o holiday travel let's start with you first how does a look in what are yo seeing where you are at? >> so richard. it seems like it's warmed up a little bit here. from this really - it feels that way. maybe it's all mental for me a this point because of how brutal thes temperatures have felt one of the things i thought wa interesting. keep people the holiday spirit because obviously it i christmas day. we're asking people if the bitter cold made it harder towards -- for tourists to enjoy th sights and enjoy the - believer now, we met senator north carolina, someone from florida. both places that in theory could be warmer than new york. they said that the cold almost me to feel like this was mor

christmas eve for them take that as you will. no question, this is bee problematic weather. it has become unfortunatel deadly weather as well we are looking at reports from officials in multiple states more than 30 people dead those deaths all being blame on the winter weather we'v experience buffalo is getting pummeled by this weather the governor of new york i saying that this storm is goin to go down as the most devastating in the history o buffalo. for context, for people wh don't know, that part of new york state, western york i very familiar with bad weather we were there in november when they were getting this massive lake effect system right befor thanksgiving i can tell you concerned how much snow ice on the groun there. they were trying to move through it they had the plows out constantly then you were to dump snow t get off of the streets because they were expecting so much to keep on coming this is an area that were -- the governor of new york i saying this is going to be the

most devastating in the histor of that western york city. governor has doubled the deployment of national guard troops we're going to be seeing it go from 200 to 4 and a bi tomorrow that's the expectation i buffalo. we talked about the number o deaths death toll is expected t potentially keep climbing in that part of the new yor state. we still have some people with power outages. at one point, there were hundreds of thousands of peopl without power in the u.s. over this holiday weekend thankfully, those numbers ar starting to dwindle. obviously the other componen of this is travel headaches. we're gonna be hearing mor about that in a minute just from our own experience covering this over the las couple of days we've heard from people wh just flat out knew they were not going to make it home in time for the holiday other people holding out hop that they would with reboo flights. we also talked with a grou that said they gave up o flying altogether and road tri from florida to ohio and mad it home in time to be with their families on christma morning. people are trying to get hom in any number of different way

to be able to enjoy this holiday. no question. it has been a complicated on from a travel standpoint obviously, for first responder trying to rescue people becaus this isn't the kind of white christmas people dream about this is one that has been nuisance and frankly has bee quite dangerous for many americans this holiday weekend >> jesse, up against man different ways mostly negative certainly. you're at a very important travel hub how are folks getting out of what was yesterday where the didn't get on a plane but toda looks just as bad? >> richard, you had some peopl who are actually stuck here in d.c. reagan national airport. they actually had to go to nearby hotels in order to go t rebooked flights today there are approximately 4000 delays nationwide. 1600 cancellations due to this fierce winter storm. here at reagan nationa airport.

it's not too bad compared to other airports however, there are som cancellations here some people are going to ticke counters to try and re-boo their flights. with the holiday travel surg underway large crowds are flooding some airports and major cities such as d.c., chicago, seattle. with the holiday surge underway, these large crowds are floodin the airports and temperature are plunging bringing the coldest christmas on record to several citie here despite the lay, some people here at reagan national tell u they're relieved to have arrived or as others are upset over the cancellations >> christmas nightmare the >> what's it been like >> it's been long. they have switched som terminal terminal to terminal. they have switched flights and said it could be another hou and then another two hours we have just been stuck for

good 18 hours now. >> you're looking at a liv picture of reagan national worth mentioning that yesterday, alaska airlines canceled flights due to snowy and icy conditions on the roadways at denver's airport crew sto using compressed natural gas powered vehicles because those compressed natural gas vehicle don't fuel well in the extreme cold when talking to a lot of passengers here in dca, th best advice you can tell the is to have patients. take a deep breath because a lot of folks tell me that this is a really ba christmas day for them they're hoping to get home t their relatives. to enjoy christmas dinner. even if it's late tonight, richard. >> thank you so much - summary stein jesse kerr starting us out. appreciated. let's move to the ukrainia people christmas is always a festiv occasion but this year, it mean something a little bit different. and much more.

as residents have been force into makeshift livin situations and bomb shelters t celebrate the holiday. the ukrainian orthodox churc now allowing its congregations to celebrate christmas today instead of the church is a normal christmas day i january. this as an act of defiance against russia and solidarit with the west. joining us now, nbc's matt bradley in kyiv. matt, you are telling us thi yesterday. what are the lates deliberations, i guess if yo will if they're saying the church i saying yes please go ahead celebrate early. let's stand up against those who are attacking us >> [inaudible] >> looks like we're having som audio trouble, matt. if we can get you back shortly we will get you. matt bradley there in kyiv we're reporting on how ukrainians are celebrating christmas early in this becaus the orthodox church allowing

that plus on the heels of yet mor missile attacks recently fro russia we'll get back to matt bradley if we can solve that issue related to his audio on to other news right now january six committee's fina report making it clear former president donald trump shoul never hold public office again the panel also making the case that trump is squarely to blam for the attack on the capitol. the committees were conclude the quote central cause of january six was one man, forme president donald trump many others followed none of the events of januar six would've happened withou him. joining us now, a democratic pollster fernando mom. the and then former advisor to former house speaker paul ryan brendan buck both are msnbc political analysts good to see you. you had a couple of days i know this is all even doing. you've been going through each and every page three or four times over what have you seen in th report as you've looked at i two or three times i was just reading some of the

other correspondents coverin the road for to be found out they wer saying we've written out two or three times. we found something different >> first off, merry christmas. great to be here with you on christmas day with you on your viewers. look, i see in the report very much what i saw in the hearing that we saw throughout the committee. from the very beginning. it was clear that the hearings were putting the ful responsibility for the insurrection of january 6th on one man, president donald trum as the instigator. the mastermind that created th conditions that led to tha violent insurrection on th capitol on january 6th certainly in my reading of the report that is the absolut take away with those crimina referrals to the justice department i think there's one thing that maybe did surprise me a little bit. although they are mentioned to some extent. folks like collaborators o president trump. rudy giuliani, john eastman.

even those four members of congress that include ji jordan for possible ethics violations you wonder question could ther have been -- they have been a little bi more explicit and perhap naming some of those other collaborators if you will that were part and parcel of th effort that would open in thei discussions. especially when you sa revealed through mark meadows. the former presidents chief of staff text messages that suggested people way ginni thomas the wife of the supreme cour justice would exactly what - could there been more that - had there been greater cooperation with them. so i look at it as a very clea problem for donald trump whose legal exposure is goin to grow even more problemati as we go into 2023 >> as we go into 2023 here brendan, there is going to b no list cheney, no ada kinzinger. those were key characters, a you know, in this particular report what did you take away fro what this means for the future for them as well as the next

congress >> i think there's trump allie and maybe even targets of this report like jeffrey clark make some comments celebrating the end o the committee. because they won't exist in th republican congress. i think that celebration is little premature while this committee is undoing, this whole saga is now enterin a pretty dangerous point for donald trump because this is where doj take over obviously doj has been looking at this for a long time. i think the next big thing you're going to hear on this i action by the justic department potentially indictments. well the committee did its job ultimately, it's up to doj t finish it. congress is not a la enforcement body it's a political body. it did its job to do i think significan political damage to donald trump. i think he is obviously a much weaker candidate than he was

previously i think this committee has a lot to do with that. they also put a lot of political pressure on th department of justice. to take action to hear a lot of people talk about doj does its own thing it doesn't care. i think it's naive to thin there are in politics involved there are some serious political personality or t take some action against the president. >> let me move to th transcripts. so we look at the transcripts. one of the things that jus came out as a reading throug them's house senate minority leader mitch mcconnell had don according to kyle cheney reporting here i'm reading this out o politico and the national securit adviser robert o'brien t investigate rumors of potential attack on biden' inauguration that is one of the most detail you don't necessarily want t read but that's what's comin out of the transcripts right now. >> indeed. a stunning revelation. i think it speaks to what no only we saw in suspected tha mitch mcconnell was clearl much more concerned at the

time but i think if anything, withi detail calls into question i why mitch mcconnell when he ha the opportunity to vote to convict donald trump and maybe do some of the work that we're seeing come out of these committee reports. which we've -- why he didn't take advantage o that opportunity when th moment was there in th immediate aftermath of january 6th. i like to go back very quickly to a point for the made which think is for tickle goin forward. the republicans take control o the house representatives just after the new year they are anxious to show a new type of approach to governing. they're even talking of thei investigations to try and muddy the water s to speak if and when the department o justice indict former presiden trump. i believe that that is now coming that is going to escalate this and change as brandon said a political dynamic and make i illegal one that is going to hang over all of the activitie of the republican party in the house. and a call to question do they want to now fully and openly distance themselves from a

former president with historic indictment by the department of justice that remains to be seen >> something about k-12 here brendan. that's congressionally it or ship as we saw the end of the yea close here kevin mccarthy related to th omnibus bill a sense of his energy lisa the end of the year. how do you see him as we shift gears in 2023. being able to scare that leadership will he be able to >> i think he well in the. and this may be a rough road so january 3rd is coming up. that is the first day the ne congress the first thing they have to d is elect a speaker kevin mccarthy has a handful o people who have said that they won't vote for him enough to potentially block. him i think you have to look a everything can mccarthy's been doing over the last week or over the last couple of years. as an effort to shore up those votes. so he came out very strongly against the omnibus. i don't think that's particularly surprising. he needs to show that he's a fighter. he has never people questioned whether he is. there is a real chance that th

first vote fails that he doesn't become speaker on the first ballot. they'll be the first thing tha has happened in 100 years. we haven't seen that while anyone alive i do think that at the end h is a true the conference he represents everything tha the republican party stands fo today. in this trump era. i think ultimately, he'll ge their, just maybe a little ugl in the process >> third round potentially brendan buck, thank you, fernando - you both have a great holiday. we now are gonna go back t nbc's matt bradley from kyiv matt, i think we have figure out the -- our christmas gremlins, if you will in our audio you are just about to tell u how ukrainians, because th orthodox church saying g celebrate, west end up, let' be in -- in conjunction with what the west is doing when the celebrate christmas. >> that's right, richard

merry christmas day starting back sorry about all that i was going to tell you that the church behind me, st michaels cathedral, i hope you can hear me this time. this church is about 1000 year old. it was destroyed by the soviet and rebuilt just only a fe decades ago. just today was the first day they officially held a christmas math on december 25th we were there and it was fascinating because it is just 1000-year old orthodox christian. they were holding it o december 25th. a day when western questions hold their christmas mat this is something that it's no necessarily encouraged by th church but they're all movin away from the eastern orthodox or sort of the moscow patriarc timing which is january 7th. the idea is there's no theological difference there is no necessarily schism in terms of religious

views. it's just ukrainians decidin that they want to observ christmas the same time as western europeans do it's essentially saying that they are aligning themselves culturally and religiously spiritually with western europe i spoke with a family. they are, of course, havin their christmas dinner wit candlelight because there is blackouts for the city they were cooking their meal over camper stoves that ar fueled by gas. this is because of the russian bombardments that are cuttin out all sorts of electricity empower gas power. there specifically targeting civilian infrastructure. i asked them why for the first time are you celebrating christmas on december 25th along with the west. here is what they told me. >> after russian invasion, w all started getting to kno more about our deep culture. and also that we feel closer

culturally to the western worl than orthodox old-world. >> is this a rejection o russia >> it's partially. -- just this year we got more o this and we felt for ourselves that we want to move on >> it doesn't help,, richard that the russian orthodo patriarch in moscow who ha their own affiliates here. that they're essentially cheerleading the war they're close to vladimi putin. they provided sort of spiritua backing for russia's invasio of ukraine it's why a lot of folks here just don't want to be part o the moscow church anymore. they'd rather migrate west they want to just pitch thei tenth in the western camp is the time to do it. richard. >> great to see that the ope of the table to you. that they were able to - if you're a foodie, a very interested, what were they

surveying? what were they able to mak given that they had to coo using what you normally do whe you use -- you got camp or something. what was that table like what was on it >> ukrainian dumplings they had little pancakes very traditional ukrainian meals. soups, grilled fish, this is the kind of thing that they ea here it's not like a turkey or lawyer or doc. it's basically the can ukrainian food you would eat all year round the kind of thing that he woul associate with eastern europea food it's not necessarily a specifi thing. it really doesn't look a lot like christmas dinner or thanksgiving dinner in the west they are sticking to som traditions they just change the date. richard. >> nbc's matt bradley. covering the frontlines all th way to the holiday kitchen table. thank you so much, my friend matt bradley there coming up, did trump wake up only to find coal in his stocking we're going to talk to legal

expert joyce vance to brea down the trouble surrounding the former president plus it is charles's first christmas as king. well listen to some of what he had to say in his firs official christmas address (cecily) 'tis! (vo) this holiday season verizon gives you the new iphone 14 pro that's in stock now. plus apple watch se, ipad and beats fit pro. all on us. don't miss out. verizon. hey guys, detect this: living with hiv, i learned that i can stay undetectable with fewer medicines. that's why i switched to dovato. dovato is for some adults who are starting hiv-1 treatment or replacing their current hiv-1 regimen. detect this: no other complete hiv pill uses fewer medicines to help keep you undetectable than dovato. detect this: most hiv pills contain 3 or 4 medicines. dovato is as effective with just 2. research shows people who take hiv treatment as prescribed

and get to and stay undetectable can no longer transmit hiv through sex. don't take dovato if you're allergic to its ingredients, or if you take dofetilide. taking dovato with dofetilide can cause serious or life-threatening side effects. hepatitis b can become harder to treat while on dovato. don't stop dovato without talking to your doctor, as your hepatitis b may worsen or become life-threatening. serious or life-threatening side effects can occur, including allergic reactions, lactic acid buildup, and liver problems... if you have a rash or other allergic reaction symptoms, stop dovato and get medical help right away. tell your doctor if you have kidney or liver problems, or if you are, may be, or plan to be pregnant. dovato may harm your unborn baby. use effective birth control while on dovato. do not breastfeed while taking dovato. most common side effects are headache, nausea, diarrhea, trouble sleeping, tiredness, and anxiety. detect this: i stay undetectable with fewer medicines. ask your doctor about switching to dovato.

when people come, they say they've tried lots of diets, nothing's worked i stay undetectable with fewer medicines. or they've lost the same 10, 20, 50 pounds over and over again. they need a real solution. i've always fought with 5-10 pounds all the time. eating all these different things and nothing's ever working. i've done the diets, all the diets.

before golo, i was barely eating but the weight wasn't going anywhere. the secret to losing weight and keeping it off is managing insulin and glucose. golo takes a systematic approach to eating that focuses on optimizing insulin levels. we tackle the cause of weight gain,t just the. when you have good metabolic health, i always thought it would be so difficult to lose weight, but with golo, it wasn't. the weight just fell off. i have people come up to me all the time and ask me, "does it really work?" and all i have to say is, "here i am. it works." my advice for everyone is to go with golo. it will release your fat and it will release you. welcome back

former president trump's holiday is probably not goin to be what he had hoped it would be in addition to the fallout fro january 6th committee's fina report which fence or a sponso billet-y for the attac squarely on the former president. the house ways of mean committee last week voted to release trump's tax returns. so he paid no income taxes i its final year in office and suggests massive busines losses over the past years a well joining us now to this case numbers nb legal analyst and former u.s attorney joyce vance joyce, great to see you. happy holidays my friend what do you think now that you've been able to look through the transcripts, the report clearly, many times how buyer is for they're givin

to the doj and what will the doj most likely be able to d with it? >> happy holidays to you to, richard. it's great to see you. the report is fascinating. as most people know by now it's about 145 pages including very detaile citations and links to transcripts. i think that this is how i breaks down. doj will definitely be taking very hard look at the work tha congress has done. they won't be using at the committee's work to draw legal conclusions. i think it's unlikely that the will accept at face value. the committee's conclusion about what sorts of crimes should be indicted instead, they'll be looking at the role legal information the evidence, the witnes statements that the committee has amassed during their work. then doj will draw their own inferences based on thei understanding of the law, th

legal requirements doj before it invites people has to be confident that it ca both obtain a conviction that it can prove guilt beyond a reasonable doubt and that it can sustain that conviction on appeal the evidence congress provides very important here but doj' conclusions will be its own. >> again, all of these tha have been released there is no claw back. there is - new congress can do nothin with that which has been presented before the new congress actually is sworn in. >> that's right. that's one of the reasons. there was this race to the finish at the end. this information is now in the public domain. it's available for you t download as you're sitting a home at your home computer you can read it not just the committee's reports but th transcripts that are being released it's a lot of information. it's very have fall i think to have some guidance as we try t give here on msnbc for the context. for people to look at this it's equally important for

americans to digest as much of it as they can on their own. it's a remarkable historical document the report, it's reminiscent i many ways of the 9/1 commissions report wish re although the facts are true. they're true here. it really reads in many ways just like a gripping novel as you read ahead to see the facts. in this case, a lot of information contained in the appendices to the report i think it'll have some of the longest legs of any of the information being revealed i terms of the failure to ac inside of government to stop what many saw as inevitable in the face of th way trump was handling his los in the election. >> with your u.s. attorney head on here joyce as you've been discussing an msnbc. there is more to come. there's more transcripts to be released january 31st, excuse me, december 31st certainly is one of those headlines in front of us at the moment

do you think that you've gotte -- you four received that which has been released so far is the majority of the goo stuff, if you will, or do yo think there's a lot more t come on the transcript side? >> so it's hard to say there is undoubtedly still mor to come. one of the most importan distinction since you asked me to where my prosecutors had al do that is we know that th committee had difficulty many cases, and forcing it subpoenas. where it was able to convinc witnesses. to show up to testify. they on some occasions inserte privileges to avoid answering certain kinds of questions doj won't face the same source of restrains they have the ability to enforce their grand cherry subpoenas without exception. many of these witnesses are no relinquishing this sort of shoddy casting a privilege tha they used to block the committee from obtaining their testimony. doj ultimately will have far

more information to th committee was able to obtain they will have been guided b the solid work the committee did to jump-start this process >> the process that would be interesting. this was said on fox news this week here joyce. jim jordan from ohio the republican which those watching what happened over th last several years know hi well he said on fox news that h endorses the idea that they ma do a top to bottom investigation on the fbi potentially modeled on the church committee from th 1970s. what might they do as they g after justice. >> good luck with that if the goal here is to engag in some sort of a politica statement making process trying to tag the fbi with failures for whatever reason. whether that's claims of bia investigation. or claims of failure of an

action ahead of the january 6t insurrection certainly there will be issues as there always are. law enforcement can always learn. there are always after actio reports. that help us do our job better the next time. ultimately the american people i think have now been activate to appreciate the fact tha blame is the committee says fo what happened on january 6th rests with donald from but without him, none of thi would have happened. this happened because th former president was a sor loser. he was someone who couldn' accept what every othe american learns to accept in life that he failed an election that he didn't succeed rather than giving into th will of the voters as his oath of office required him to do he tried to stay in office for this new congress, this ne house led by republicans t come in and try to cast blam elsewhere. i think it's a strategy that may be a nuisance in the short

term and that will backfire on them in the long term because americans are smart and no that we have the information that we can use in front of us a majority of us will see th truth here >> joyce, well i got you quickly, i had to ask you this because the wall street journa editorial board wrote yesterda the day before that one thin that this committee didn't d is they did not take note of how the institutions o democracy held strong. that's the criticism the accolade is, again, your service to the justice department was showing it that the things worked. do you agree with what they're saying >> at the very outer edges o the margins, our institution held i'm not a historian but i thin the historians will have a lot to discuss about failures of institutions during the trum administration permission of policies tha were perhaps illegal o

inhumane like the family separation policy. here at the end, when we neede our institutions to hold, they did. and notably, in two places, th department of which refused to be politicized and then acting appointees the acting attorney general an acting attorney general at the justice department who refused to flinch when donald trum demanded their allegiance fo the departure from the agency. they too held firm we have a lot to think these people for it is a very slim margin for democracy. >> it is the season of thanks. we are thankful for you an always bringing all of thi great perspective. see some perspective for us. joyce vance thank you. coming up for you with the pope uses annual personal fo the call for an end to what he calls the senseless war in ukraine. tell you more about that let's be honest. the rent-a-car industry is the definition of boring.

was there. what would you say to that comment that was made yesterday? >> i have known liz cheney for many years well we do not agree o political policy and times are policy issues. i have nothing but the greates respect for her. and her father, quite frankly. the fact of the matter is that these are people who love ou country. that they believe in upholding the constitution they believe in the fundamenta principles of democracy. liz cheney was trying to protect our country. i was -- i'm not old but i'm sees and i was there in 2000. i was very close to the gore is while i had my own feelings of what may or may not have happened with the vote allegory knew the importance o a peaceful and smoot transition of government liz cheney - benny thompson to get th

facts. she loves this country - our democracy or so mattered most we have to recognize tha people are really -- even listening to some of th earlier broadcasts msnbc. trying to undermine people basic confidence i institutions in our democracy we cannot allow that to happen i think she played a ver critical role. i think every member of that committee played a critica role >> representative debbie dean. columns are we have to go shor a little bit today we can continue ou conversation after michiga wins on december 31st agains tcu. how about that >> go blue and i know that's what's going to happen. even though -- all be in -- >> love it thank you so much, representative at the top of the hour for you more on the wicked weather making its way across th country including thousands of canceled and delayed flights and drumroll please. we officially have trump's tax
