some fines he has to pay for that unreported income, jose. >> tom winter in new york city, i thank you very much. >> a bit of good news to leave you with. buffalo bills safety damar hamlin is now recovering in a buffalo hospital from his cardiac arrest. he was flown there from a hospital in ohio yesterday, just one week after his stunning collapse on the field. cincinnati doctors say they're ecstatic about his remarkable recovery. they see he's walking and eating and even jumping up and down when his team scored a touchdown during sunday's opening kickoff. and that wraps up the hour for me. i'm jose diaz-balart. you can always reach me on twitter and instagram. please follow the show online at jd balart msnbc. thank you for the privilege of your time. lindsey reiser picks up with more news right now. >> good tuesday morning. i'm lindsey reiser at msnbc headquarters in new york. right now, we're watching an
8:01 am
urgent weather emergency out west. mandatory evacuations and emergency rescues are under way in california. as an unrelenting series of storms batters the state, triggering mudslides, flash floods, and opening massive sink holes. 90% of california is under flood watches or warnings right now. >> it caught people who have been here 50 years, caught them unprepared. >> how quickly was the water rising? >> you could watch it. you could see it rising. >> it was rising quick. in my experience, the fastest i have seen it rise. >> at least a dozen people have lost their lives to these storms and authorities are frantically searching for a 5-year-old boy who was swept away by floodwaters. adding to the urgency, forecasters say another dangerous storm system is moving in. we're going to get an update in moments. and i'm speak with the mayor of santa barbara where mandatory evacuation orders are in effect in some areas. >> also, the high stakes three
8:02 am
amigos summit between the u.s., mexico, and canada. president biden is expected to meet with justin trudeau before all three leaders try to tackle big issues that have divided the continent from immigration to trade to climate change. why things have already gotten off to a bumpy start. and a new political headache for president biden. a small number of documents with classified markings were found at an office he used after leaving the obama white house. ahead, how the white house is responding and why despite some comparisons drawn by republicans this is a different scenario from the documents found at mar-a-lago. we start with the urgent emergency in california. as more heavy rain is moving through the state. nbc's marissa parra is in felton, california, santa cruz countier one of the areas seeing significant flooding. also with us, meteorologist michelle grossman. describe what you're seeing and what are officials telling people to do? >> yeah, so you have to keep in mind that as we're hearing that more rain is on the way,
8:03 am
everyone kind of feels like they can't catch a break here. this is what one of the residential streets looks like in felton. it is a muddy mess. i saw one guy trying to walk his dog through this. they haven't had power in quite some time. 220,000 californians still don't have power, and that number seems to climb. i want to show you something because the water is clearly since receded. this is the water line. so at one point, this was up to my chest. we did see rescuers on jet skis yesterday, those images were so compelling. and so in terms of where california stands right now, it really depends on where you are. california is such a big state, there are times right now clearly no rain falling hereering but times where it will be dry in one part of the state and another part of the state is getting slammed. between the wind and rain, the state really cannot catch a break because one thing that we were talking about that's so important to mention here is how those previous wildfires have really caused even more of a problem here. because you have vegetation that was wiped out from those
8:04 am
wildfires so then you have watts called burn scars which means those are areas of land that are very vulnerable to this amount of precipitation. when you have all of this rainfall, then you see landslides and mudslides like what we're seeing here. you're probably seeing images on your screen of some of the landslides. some have caused highways to be shut down as a result. we know these can pose a very serious danger to people not only as they're driving but trying to make their way around. in terms of what we're seeing across the state, it depends on where you are, but it's catastrophic. we know governor newsom issued a state of emergency. we do know he will be making his way around the state to survey damage. i mean, when all is said and done, the damage could be in the billions. but in terms of what officials are asking people to do, pay attention to what they're saying. heed your local orders. if they're asking you to evacuate, they're asking you to do so in order to save yourself and their lives so they're not putting themselves at risk.
8:05 am
>> we know some areas have seen a foot of rain in 48 hours and more is on the way in some places. take us through what you're tracking. >> yeah, hi there. unfortunately, we're stuck in this pattern. we have been stuck in this pattern since late december. we're seeing a conveyer belt of storms coming through. one today, one tomorrow, and another one on thursday. we had one yesterday, too. it's day after day. we're looking at the chance for more mudslides, landslides, the grounds are so saturated, the creeks are high, the rivers are high. and we're looking at a very dangerous situation if not life threatening. let's show you what's happening right now because heavy rain continues to come down. where you see the brighter colors, the yellows, the reds, the oranges, that's where we're seeing the heaviest rabe falling. where you see the swirl is the energetic powerful storm moving onshore once again. we're concerned about the rainfall and snowfall. 32 million people at risk once again today. where you see the green, that is a flood watch. because we're seeing that heavy
8:06 am
rain at an inch an hour, could see up to a foot of rain once again in some spots on top of the really saturated ground. there's another risk for major river flooding, also some road flooding. we're seeing roads being broken apart, people being cut off, sheltering in their homes and not able to get there because of some of the infrastructure being destroyed. winter alerts stretching from california all the way to portions of the central rockies. the pink is a winter storm warning. and we will be measuring this snow in feet. you could see up to six feet of snow, so that is a lot of precipitation that is falling. in addition to that, we have winds gusting. we had a wind gust of 109 miles per hour yesterday. winds are gusting once again today. the problem with that is it's bringing down the trees. the ground is so saturated, think of sacramento with all those beautiful trees, they're coming down, bringing down the power, and we're going to add to those power outages as we go throughout the day. lastly, we're looking at the chance for severe weather. we had a tornado warning earlier
8:07 am
today. that's really rare for this part of the country so we're concerned about that as well. >> michelle, thank you. our thanks to marissa as well. i want to ring in the mayor of santa barbara. i'm sorry for what you and your fellow citizens are going through. >> thank you. actually, we're not getting hit as bad as up in northern california, but we have had a legacy of disasters in the last few years. wildfires and of course our famous debris flow in montecito. we were very well prepared, as prepared as we could be. the national weather service out of oxnard has been fabulous in tracking the storm and pretty accurate on when it would hit and the volume it would hit. but we have had tremendous cooperation between all of our counties, city, and state public service agencies. an evacuation plan has been in place. we activated our emergency operations center last night, which takes all of us over to
8:08 am
station one to coordinate all these things. so we have done well. we have not fortunately had fatalities or serious injuries so far that we're aware of. and we have had some flooding. and the creek beds have breached their limits in a couple spots. but the damage has been relatively light. we're going to be doing -- we're not looking for rescues at the moment. we're looking to do surveys and damage assessments until about over 100 cars that have stalled in water areas. >> given that, mayor, what is your most urgent concern right now? >> our most urgent concern is at this point in time, cleaning up and preparing for the next wave coming in probably saturday. we're due for a couple more bands today. but saturday is apparently when there's going to be another storm of intensity. we did have over a foot of rain up on san marcos pass, directly above the city.
8:09 am
so that is the most that had been recorded in terms of record keeping. and then just, you know, people have been evacuated from the montecito area. i'm sure they're going to be able to return, not sure what the exact update on that is, but once again, our channels and our creek beds and what not were very well prepared and we handled as much as we could, at least up to capacity. at some point, we could not handle as much water that came down as you saw in northern california as well. >> santa barbara, california, mayor, thank you for your time, and obviously, good luck as you continue to survey, clean up, and prepare for saturday's storm. >> this morning we're learning more about the documents with classified markings found at an office tied to president biden. now being reviewed by the justice department. the documents from the obama/biden administration were found at biden's former office at the penn biden center in d.c., which he used between his time as vice president and his return to the white house. a source familiar tells nbc news
8:10 am
that the president only bekale aware of the classified documents when he was informed by his lawyers immediately after they found them. a white house statement sheds more light, saying they were found when his personal lawyers were packing files in a locked closet. the white house counsel's office notified the national archives on november 2nd, the same day they were found. the white house says the president has been cooperating with the doj and national archives. i want to bring in nbc news justice correspondent ken dilanian, and peter baker. the doj is reviewing the documents. marek carland has asked the u.s. attorney for the northern district of illinois, who is a trump appointee, to look into all this. what more do we know? if they were found in november, why did it take so long for the public to find out? >> that's a great question, your second one, and one the white house has to answer and have not yet answered. clearly, a lot of people in the white house knew about this for a long time and didn't say anything. in terms of what the justice department is doing, we're told
8:11 am
merrick garland intentionally steered this to a trump appointed u.s. attorney in chicago to make sure that the perception of independence was maintained. and that that office in conjunction with the fbi is conducting a preliminary review to determine whether a criminal investigation needs to be opened. if that happens, if there is a need for a criminal investigation, presumably a special counsel would be appointed. we're a long way from that. there's been no determinations either way in the investigation and the review as far as we know is ongoing. >> ken, do we know if they're checking for any more documents in any other locations affiliated with biden? >> we believe that they are, and we don't know the results of that search, but it stands to reason that the biden folks upon discovery of these classified documents, the next question would be, do we have any others anywhere else? if so, where are they? and how do we find them? one question that remains unanswered in my mind is why two years into the presidency they
8:12 am
discovered these documents. they were packing the boxes in the former think tank used by the then vice president before he began running for president. so many questions here that only the white house can answer. >> peter this is obviously drawing comparisons to the probe of former president trump's handling of classified documents. republican are seizing on this, but you and your colleague write in the times that unlike trump, biden was not under review for his handling of documents, nor did he refuse to turn them over, according to the white house statement. by promptly revealing the discovery and returning them within a day, biden made no known effort to resist the proper disposition of the papers. how else is this a different scenario from the documents found at mar-a-lago? >> yeah, this is a significantly different scenario. you understand why, of course, for partisans, this is going to be helpful ammunition for former president trump and his allies to say see, everybody does it, there's no difference. they're just coming to persecute former president trump. but the truth it it's
8:13 am
substantially different. there's a long process in which the archives was trying to get papers back from former president trump, and he was resisting along the way to the point where there's even a subpoena that he failed to respond fully to and that ended up resulting in the search that the fbi conducted there. and there are hundreds of documents that were found in the former president's residence. now, in this situation, we don't know exactly how many documents were found in president biden -- former vice president biden's office, they say a small number. people are using terms like around ten. that's a substantially smaller number, at least so far, whaument we know of how they handled it is exactly what you're supposed to do in this circumstance if you find classified documents you're not supposed to have, you immediately report it and turn it over. there are questions that haven't been answered. why did they wait for two months to tell the public? why didn't they tell the public if it was on november 2nd, which happened to be a few days before
8:14 am
the midterm elections which would have been politically damaging. they chose not to do it and that's a question the white house has not responded to yet. >> peter, we know this is going to be a political headache for the president for the reasons you laid out. we know republicans have the house right now. we know the investigations they have already promised. what can we expect to see moving forward? >> we already see that incoming chairman of the house oversight committee, the republican chairman comer saying he's planning to issue letters demanding information within 48 hours. he's making the comparison to the trump investigation and suggesting that there's a double standard here. they will obviously use this to deflect criticism of president trump, former president trump, especially if there were to be an indictment by jack smith, the special counsel. it makes it more complicated for the justice department if they want to pursue a prosecution of former president trump because they have an inquiry of some sort into the current president in terms of his handling, at least in terms of his office's
8:15 am
handling of this. >> ken and peter, thank you. >> and coming up in just a few minutes, we expect to see president biden sit down in mexico city with canadian prime minister justin trudeau. what we expect from that meeting and the rest of his mexico trip. >> plus, one of the biggest priorities of the new republican house. investigating the federal government. the new select committee that could get the green light today. and a community demanding answers after a middle schooler was shot and killed. i'll talk to a member of the d.c. city council who wants to know why the shooter hasn't been arrested. playing detective. but the real mystery was her irritated skin. so, we switched to tide pods free & gentle. it cleans better, and doesn't leave behind irritating residues. and it's gentle on her skin. case, closed! it's gotta be tide.
8:16 am
next on behind the series... let me tell you about the greatest roster ever assembled. the monster, the outlaw... and you can't forget about the boss. it wasn't just a roster. it was a menu. the subway series. the greatest menu of all time. moderate-to-severe eczema. it doesn't care if you have a date, a day off, or a double shift. make your move and get out in front of eczema with steroid-free cibinqo. not an injection, cibinqo is a once-daily pill for adults who didn't respond to previous treatments. and it's proven to help provide clearer skin and relieve itch fast. cibinqo continuously treats eczema whether you're flaring or not. cibinqo can lower your ability to fight infections,

(cecily) what's up, einstein? (einstein) my network has gone kaput! (cecily) you tried to save a buck on it? (einstein) not so smart. (cecily) well, there is a smarter way to save. (einstein) oh?!

8:18 am
including nonsurgical treatments.
8:19 am
this hour we're expecting to see president biden meet with canadian prime minister justin trudeau in mexico. it's day two of the so-called three amigos summit, and already, there's been some tension with mexico's president, who in his meeting with president biden yesterday challenged the u.s. to end what he calls an attitude of, quote,
8:20 am
abandonment and disdain in latin america and the caribbean. monica alba is in mexico city, also, julian castro who served as secretary of urban development in the obama administration. monica, president biden is slated to meet with trudeau this hour before all three leaders sit down. what are the big issues on the agenda and what are the stakes for president biden? >> high stakes certainly. you said it, this is known as the three amigos summit, but sometimes there can be sharp or testy exchanges between world leaders, as is entirely common at these kinds of summits. it was the mexican president, amlow, who did start off his remarks yesterday by asking the united states to do more when it comes to foreign aid specifically. he told president biden, you hold the keys in your hand to helping this part of the world. and it was something where there was this language that was a little bit more intense,
8:21 am
perhaps, than usual. but president biden very quickly stepped in and defended his administration, particularly the billions in help that has gone to this hemisphere. take a listen to how he laid that out. >> the united states provides more foreign aid than every other country just about combined in the world. to not just the hemisphere but around the world. i wish we could just have one focus and only one focus. we have multiple focuses so that's what we have to work on, and i'm confident we can do a great deal more in tandem with one another. >> so that's an area where they can agree to disagree, but there are plenty other areas where they have agreed to cooperate, especially when it comes to mass migration and border policy. the mexican government is key in some of the new proposals the president laid out in terms of expelling migrants from some countries to this country. that's where the mexican officials have to help in terms of processing them and
8:22 am
continuing that program as well as opening up some new legal pathways, and then when it comes to drug trafficking, cracking down on cartels, eliminating fentanyl to the degree it's possible. all of that the leaders agreed to work on. and when you're talking about justin trudeau, there's plenty of discussion when it comes to trade disputes, particularly with some dairy farmers, with auto making, and remember, it was just last year actually that the president's electric vehicle tax credits were amended to include north american manufacturers, something that canada was very relieved to see happen. so all of that is a backdrop to this discussion, when the president is meeting with the prime minister one-on-one and the three leaders will be together for a larger portion of the rest of today here in mexico city. >> and julian, when it comes to the issue of migration, you're tromtexas. we're seeing a humanitarian crisis at the border. mexico's president said he would consider accepting more migrants
8:23 am
than previously announced. what more should president biden ask of mexico? >> this is a great start. look, these are two countries that need each other on a whole host of issues related to migration, the united states, of course, is pressing on the issue of fentanyl that's getting across the border, but also on how migrants right now are treated. and for mexico to have a process in place to be able to insure that people are treated humanity and compassionately, but that influx into the united states is also controlled. the biden administration has been very clear with mexico over the years, other administrations before this were clear about the need for that cooperation. and so it will be fascinating to see what level of cooperation the mexican president is willing to engage in. you know, early signs indicate at least that there may be enhanced cooperation, which would be good. this also comes at a moment for the biden administration where
8:24 am
the supreme court is about to address title 42 on march 1st. the administration just announced a whole set of new policies to try to handle the influx of migrants. this will be crucial to the success of those new policies. >> another priority they'll talk about is dependence on china for some goods. it's hard not to imagine the war in ukraine thousands of miles away and europe's pulling back from russian energy sort of having us exam what's happening in our own back yard. why is reducing dependence on china good for the americas, julian? >> well, what's interesting is that 30 years ago, you know, 40 years ago, that mexico and latin america were once the place where a lot of american companies went to do trade, to invest in factories there in mexico, and then in the decades since then, asia has gotten more and more successful getting american investment, plants and
8:25 am
manufacturing, and so what the mexican president said, i think yesterday in his remarks, was that more of that trade should happen among mexico, canada, and the united states. and that's what mexico and probably canada as well are pressing for. of course, during the trump administration, there was also a rearrangement of nafta, and i'm sure they're discussing issues related to that. that is an ongoing conversation. the united states has always been pressed by mexico because the country has an interest in more american companies setting up shop there, producing more employment there, and economic activity. >> monica and julian, thank you both for your time. up next, critics are calling it the maga grievance committee. what we know about the new republican house majority's plan to investigate the federal government. plus, one of the thousands of supporters of former brazilian president have been detained after they stormed
8:26 am
brazil's congress. the charges they face and the potential consequences for bolsonaro. e's cleaning the tras. oh, boy. meeting a new young homeowner for the first time is a unique challenge. -so you think you can help? -i can try. hey, what you doing? oh, just cleaning my trash cans. wow. it's important to build trust. see you put your address and phone number on here. well, you can never be too safe. with trash? progressive can't protect you from becoming your parents, but we can protect your home and auto -when you bundle with us. -don't look at the hedges. -they're a mess. -no one's looking at the hedges. (cecily) what's up, einstein? (einstein) bundle with us. my network has gone kaput! (cecily) you tried to save a buck on it? (einstein) not so smart. (cecily) well, there is a smarter way to save. (einstein) oh?! (cecily) switch to verizon! (vo) that's right. for a limited time get verizon unlimited for just $25 a line, guaranteed for 3 years. (einstein) brilliant! (vo) only on verizon.

8:30 am
porter just announced she's running for u.s. senate in california. porter is currently in her third term and posted this message online. >> california needs a warrior in washington. to win these fights, it's time for new leadership in the u.s. senate. >> incumbent democratic senator dianne feinstein who is 89 has not yet said if she's running for re-election. >> we expect to see the new republican majority flex its legislative muscle. they're expected to vote today to establish a new select committee to investigate the, quote, weaponization of the federal government. language to create the panel was tucked into that ruled package that just passed yesterday. a source familiar says congressman jim jordan is expected to chair that committee. jordan has said he intends to use the panel to probe the fbi and big tech companies. nbc news senior capitol hill correspondent garrett haake joins me for more on what to expect and i'm also joined by
8:31 am
michael steele, former republican national committee chairman and msnbc political analyst. what more can you tell us about how republicans plan to use the committee and what else should we know about the rules package? >> the rules stuff is basic xs and os of how the congress will function. how long it takes to go through votes to things that the republicans have talked about for quite some time, like getting rid of some of the pandemic precautions put in place in 2020. no more proxy voting, for example, no more virtual hearings. also in the rules package are some of the concessions kevin mccarthy had to make to his right flank to secure the speakership. that includes language around how they're going to deal with the debt ceiling, the motion to vacate the chair, the idea of getting rid of the speaker set at one member who can call for that vote, and it includes the creation of this subcommittee. this committee is designed to probe basically everything the justice department has been doing. you heard jim jordan talk about investigations, the fbi, big
8:32 am
tech. it puts the republicans on a collision course with doj, because they want to be peering into active investigations, which is something that the doj usually bristles at. democrats already calling -- kind of making fun of the committee, calling it the tin foil hat committee, but pete aguilar said they will seat seats on it pause they don't want republicans to have the opportunity like they had on the january 6th committee to do their own thing unfettered and unchallenged as they proceed through whatever investigatory steps they choose to take once they get this thing up and running. >> i want to read a quote from a democratic aide on the judiciary committee about this government weaponization committee. they said, this thing is so f'ing broad, it's benghazi on steroids. it's crazy. what does this signal, michael, about priorities in the house right now under a republican majority and also how powerful does this make jim jordan? >> jim jordan is powerful by the virtue of the fact a significant
8:33 am
number of folks in the caucus wanted him to be the speaker. so there's no doubt there about his relevance in all of this. he's been an animating, driving force behind a lot of these narratives. the investigative piece is about retribution, not investigation, because there's been some offense. there's been some criminal potential criminal activity. this is about trying to create exposure. very much like benghazi, 11 hours with hillary clinton, you know, all of that led to nothing. this will lead to nothing. but that's not the point. the point is that they create a political maelstrom. i find it interesting on two fronts. one, they want to talk about the weaponization of the government. well, a large amount of that weaponization occurred under trump's administration. so i mean, biden's been in office 18 months. how much weaponization took place in the last 18 months? this thing is so crazy. but here's the other thing. gutting the ethics committee, so
8:34 am
you're going to gut the committee, the independent body that governs the ethics of the congress. what signal does that send? it says you're not serious. it says within your own ranks there's rot and problems. i give you george santos, just the tip of that iceberg. so there's a lot going on here. this is all about retribution politics. there's nothing substantive that's going to come out of this. poor garrett, that's all i can say. poor garrett. >> yeah, you got an eyebrow raise from him there, michael. since you mentioned this ethics change, let's talk about that. another one of those house rules that you just outlined create eight-year term limits for members of the office of congressional ethics. essentially it would have the effect of removing all but one democrat from the board at a time when it's considering whether to launch an inquiry into certain republican congressmen over their conduct
8:35 am
related to january 6th. you mentioned george santos here. what do the changes essentially signal here to the electorate about holding their own accountable? >> they're not. they're not. i mean, when have they? when have they in the last seven years held anyone accountable for the craziness that we have seen? the problems that the party finds itself in? this is not about self-accountability. this is not about taking control of rogue members who have said and behaved in a way, acted in a way that have crossed the line. this is making sure that there's a level of protection around them. george santos was seated in the face of all the evidence that he's a bold faced liar. and that he's a false congressman. and yet, he's still there. there will be no ethics if this
8:36 am
group has their say. there are no ethics complaints charges going to take him out of that seat or diminish his role in the congress. because he serves another purpose. and they don't need any blowback from investigating their own from a base that wants them to do exactly what they are doing. >> so garrett, pick up on that. we have a development here. new york democrats hand delivering an ethics complaint against santos. walk us through that development and whether that will go anywhere. >> yeah, a little bit of a troll by two of george santos' fellow members of the new york delegation delivering their copy of the ethics complaint to his office while he was present. that complaint will go to the ethics committee, which is different from the office of congressional ethicses. side bar on that little topic here, but the ethics committee is evenly divided between democrats and republicans. it will look into george santos' behavior but it's unlikely to
8:37 am
issue any meaningful ruling or punishment as is often the case here. santos' bigger challenges probably come from the various criminal challenges at the state and federal level, an fec investigation, none of which he's commented on. his office has been asked repeatedly on those. it's in the house republican rules if he gets indicted he'll lose his committee seats and perhaps if there's an indictment, you might see more pressure from inside the republican party to push him aside. for now, he's more of a social pariah within the republican conference, who otherwise need him and his vote to continue moving forward with their agenda. >> garrett haake and michael steele, thank you both. we're following new developments after this weekend's attack on government buildings in brazil by thousands of supporters of right wing former president jair bolsonaro. thousands of demonstrators rallied in the streets of brazil last night demanding the prosecution of the estimated 1500 people detained in
8:38 am
connection to those riots. here in the u.s., president biden is facing intensifying pressure to extradite bolsonaro. he's believed to have flown to florida just days before his term ended. nbc's guad venegas is in miami following the fallout. where does the investigation stand in brazil and what more can you tell us about the calls to extradite bolsonaro? >> the justice minister in brazil says they have detained hundreds of people. he says anyone who violated any type of law will be prosecuted. the military disbanded a camp a few miles away from the federal buildings that were damaged. this was a camp of bolsonaro supporters. that's where most of the people detained came from, as they informed. what the investigation, they want to know who could have possibly been behind these riots. president da silva indicated perhaps there was a group of individuals who financed and
8:39 am
bussed individuals who came to protest or fed them or gave them water. these are things being looked into. when it comes to the talk about an extradition, here's what we know. we know that bolsonaro left brazil before his term ended. he came to florida. we know he's been in orlando. there were videos on social media where he took photos with supporters in orlando. yesterday, we also learned he checked into a hospital because he has issued with his stomach. there was a stabbing, he was stabbed in 2018, that caused other issues, and he himself put a photo on twitter and shared information saying that because of that stabbing, he's gone through multiple surgeries and he's now dealing with intestinal adhesions. meanwhile, in brazil, the justice minister did make it clear that there is no criminal investigation in brazil that includes bolsonaro, therefore, there wouldn't be elements to try to extradite him back to brazil, but krn krn brazil informs they spoke to bolsonaro
8:40 am
in the hospital and he told them he wants to return to brazil sooner than anticipated to see the doctors that have been treating him in the past. so a lot of pieces moving here. that investigation continues as bolsonaro remains in a hospital in the orlando area. >> still to come, jerome powell has a rare public speaking engagement this morning. we'll look at the reaction from wall street and what it could mean for you. first, longtime trump cfo allen weisselberg could be headed to jail as soon as this afternoon. what to expect at his sentencing later today.

8:44 am
blue-emu, it works fast and you won't stink. subway keeps upping their game with the subway series. an all-star menu of delicious subs. like #4 supreme meats. the predis speaking in mexico city right now. let's listen in. >> the north american leader summit. today we're going to go over and see our counterpart, the president of mexico. but i think what we should be doing, and we are doing, is demonstrating the unlimited economic potential that we have when we work together. and in the hem fear and to help the entire hemisphere. and there's a lot we're going to be talking about, including clean energy. we should be the clean energy powerhouse of the world. that's not hyperbole, i generally mean that. we're also in a situation where
8:45 am
we're in the process, and you are as well, strengthening our supply chains so that no one can arbitrarily hold us up or pandemic in asia cause us to not have access to critical elements we need to do everything from build automobiles to so many other things. and together, i think we're achieving some really significant things. today, we're going to discuss how we can try to help stabilize haiti, how we can deal with migration, and at the same time bolster our national security. so i want to thank you again. you have always been there whenever i have called, you have picked up the phone, obviously the same here. i don't think we have, as i told one foreign leader who was with a different perspective than you and i have on world peace, i said to him, well, i'm lucky. i got canada north and mexico to the south, and two oceans on
8:46 am
either side. you have a different circumstance, and he looked at me like, but it's true. we have to make the most of it. so thank you for everything. >> thank you, joe. it's so good to be able to spend a little time with you here on some more local issues. you and i have been working so closely on significant global issues, whether it's the pressures of china and russia and russia's illegal invasion of ukraine and the need to continue to stand up strong for democracy, for the rule of law, for opportunities and inclusive growth around the world. but as you say, there are tremendous things we can build on here at home. north america is the largest free trading bloc in the world. larger even than the european union. we have a tremendous amount to contribute to the world in goods and services and also in technologies and solutions that the world really needs.
8:47 am
and our capacity to work together has brought us to places of extraordinary success. but at a time of disruption around the world, a time of very real challenges, we can and must be doing even more. i'm really pleased with all of the work our folks have been doing over the past many months and years on aligning and coordinating so that we're leading the way on the net zero transition we all have to do while at the same time insuring that individual canadians and americans and mexicans and others around the world can see themselves in the future, in an optimistic way. and understand that, yes, we're in a time of challenges and strife, but you're right, there's a lot of reasons to be optimistic, especially for those of us in our countries. but it's going to take a lot of work. something that neither you nor i nor our citizens have been afraid of. rolling up our sleeves and building a better future is essential, so as we talk about
8:48 am
issues, whether it's haiti, whether it's some of the challenges in south america, whether we talk about critical minerals and energy and how we're going to continue to move forward to create those efficient and resilient supply chains we need, there's a lot we're able to do together. [ speaking non-english ] >> every time you end like that, i think to myself, i should have spent more time when i was in college. i took french for years.
8:49 am
>> we are still going to be listening in here, but back with me is monica alba from mexico city. they talked about the unlimited economic potential for the americas, migration, climate, trade obviously. how do you rank the importance of some of the issues they're hagging out today? >> yeah, these are incredibly complex issues and i think we should note that as reporters, we're trying to leave the room for that meeting. some in the press pool it seems did try to shout to president biden to see if he wanted to comment at all or react to the new information we got yesterday about these classified documents that were found in this private educational academic office in washington, d.c. that had been
8:50 am
from when the president now was vice president. it didn't appear that he responded to those. that is a question that he ignored yesterday as well. so that's something that continues to be an important thing for the president to acknowledge and discuss. we know the white house is fully cooperating with that inquiry, but that's just one thing separate in terms of domestic politics, but in terms of what's happening here globally, the focus, yes, between these two long-lasting allies, you saw the very warm, friendly relationship with prime minister trudeau calling president biden joe, speaking about the deep, deep ties between these two countries. but the very many thorny issues, so i think at the top of the list for u.s. and canada in terms of this discussion is the issue of trade. there are some trade disputes and there is disputes, and there is, of course, migration, which affects the entire continent. that's will be a big part of the discussion when they go to the
8:51 am
palace. >> thank you so much. our team will be monitoring this to bring you any important updates. fed chair jerome powell addressed the unpopularity of measures to tackle inflation during a conference in stockholm. he stressed the need for the fed to be free of political influence when it comes to making those decisions. while giving no signals about future plans for hikes. >> price stability is the bedrock of a healthy economy. but restoring price stability when inflation is high can require measures that are not popular in the short term as we raise interest rates to slow the economy. >> joining me now is morgan brennan. what more can you tell us about powell's comments and any indication of the outlook for the economy for the coming year? >> that's the key question. i think if there is one big headline from powell's speech, it's we are staying the course. it had been a steady drumbeat
8:52 am
for days and weeks saying inflation is too high. we will keep raising interest rates. we will keep interest rates at higher levels for longer. while we didn't get any direct clues about how that plays out in the coming months from the fed chair in that speech this morning, he also didn't veer away from that. anything to tamp down inflation. >> morgan, thank you for that update. turning to the gun violence epidemic. officials are revealing new information about the teacher shot by a 6-year-old. >> she asked me, do you know how my students are? she was worried about them. >> the bullet went through her
8:53 am
hand and into her upper chest. she ushered students to safety. investigators say the firearm came from the child's home and was legally purchased by his mother. the child is under a temporary detention order and is receiving treatment at a medical facility. officials say they can't speak to why the 6-year-old opened fire. this morning, residents and elected officials in one community in northern washington, d.c. are demanding answers after the shooting of a 13-year-old boy this weekend. so far, the man accused of opening fire has not been charged or arrested. the boy has been identified. he died early saturday morning, according to police. according to our nbc station in washington, an investigation has revealed that a man at a home in the area heard noises and saw someone who appeared to be, quote, hampering with a vehicle. the man stepped outside. after an interaction with blake, the man opened fire.
8:54 am
neighbors said they heard four to five gunshots during the incident. according to "the washington post," authorities say the man cooperated with investigators, has a permit for his firearm and was performing cpr on the youth when police arrived. according to police, blake was transported to the hospital where he later died. police have not identified the man who opened fire. joining me now is a d.c. council member who represents the area where it happened. thanks for being with us. >> thank you for having me. >> police haven't released a lot of information publically about this. the deputy mayor for public safety just released a statement saying, the district is committed to being as open and transparent as possible in all matters. what are you hearing from authorities about this so far? why the man who opened fire has not been identified or charged? >> again, thank you for having
8:55 am
me. frankly, we are not hearing enough. i'm in touch with the family. i'm hearing tons of questions from community members and neighbors who are concerned about, one, the perpetrator not being identified, but, two, him not being apprehended on the scene after having killed blake. i trust they have a job to do, but so do i. tonight, i'm hosting a community meeting where i'm calling on them to answer questions. >> we know there's a community meeting tonight. what are you hearing from people there in the area? >> again, there's an unease and people are unnerved not knowing who the neighbor in question is that actually took karon's life, not knowing if this is a one-off incident. many are questioning why the circumstances surrounding this case are different than many other previous cases. i can assure you if anyone --
8:56 am
whether or not they had a legal firearm or not -- took the life of someone, they would be detained. the legal process would play out. right now, while i'm not trying to interfere with the integrity of the case and the investigation, i am calling on them to be more transparent to share details with the family and community and to honor the process of the legal system by apprehending the perpetrator that took karon's life. >> i have to be quick on this. you told "the washington post" based on the facts shared, it does seem reasonable to expect that the gunman will be charged. can you elaborate on that? >> again, whether or not one has a legal firearm, karon blake is no longer with us. it's important that we allow this process to play out. with the facts shared, it seems as though charges could be pending. >> thank you for joining us on this. that does it for me this
