caitlin. i mean, it is remarkable what the fire chief said to jake tapper on cnn earlier today directly contradicting what mayor bass had said. mayor bass had said when she returned from her trip to ghana and gave a press conference. she said that the budget cuts to the fire department in los angeles did not affect their ability to fight this fire. the chief of the fire department contradicted her directly and said it did, and here's how so remains to be seen. what is going to happen there. but that's one thing to to watch in the days ahead. caitlin. yeah. >> i mean, and that's something that we were talking about tonight, anderson, as we were looking at the comments by chief crowley is, you know, yes, the mayor is contradicting her. and here's the mayor outlining what's in the budget and what they did differently with pay raises and where these cuts were. but, i mean, it's the chief herself who is who is saying this, who is just being straightforward and candid frankly about what her firefigh

caitlin. and we are starting to feel those winds pick up here, even just over the past couple of hours. we're starting to really notice it here in malibu. and you talk about that particularly dangerous situation, what they call the pds. that's only happened three times this fire season. and in those three times you got the eaton fire, you got the palisades fire. so those days have led to the massive fires that they are battling right now. and as we're feeling the winds pick up here, you've got we are within the palisades fire zone where we are in malibu. they are trying to protect areas that haven't burned where we are. you can see behind me complete devastation, but there is other parts of malibu here that have not burned down, and they're worried about the wind fanning the flames. obviously, that's the biggest concern with fires that have not been contained. this palisades fire right now is only as of right now. caitlin, about 14% contained. and a lot of that is because of what's behind the

now, caitlin. 16,000 acres. the last fire i covered here in the palisades, which at the time we thought was a big deal. that was 1000 acres. this is 16,000 acres. listen, we knew this was going to be bad. everybody knew this was going to be bad. with the santa ana winds, with the drought we've had for so long. no real rain since the spring. when those winds were forecast, we knew it was going to be bad. everyone got ready, but they were prepared for maybe 1 or 2 fires, as you say now. there were like six fires. how do you prioritize? how do you fight those flames? it is terrible. thankfully, the wind, as i say, is dropping, but it's not over. you know, the santa ana winds are going to pick up again in a couple of days. and just the devastation. and just as i say, you know, when you've got fires like this that are just they're just having to leave them to burn, that's going to set something else on fire. it's a chain reaction. i have never seen anything like downtown palisades. >> it's i mean, shocking to see to

caitlin, i was on the beach this morning at 8 a.m. having a swim. it was a beautiful california morning. by dusk, this 1200 acres have been chewed up by this fire. we knew this was coming. it's the santa ana winds. these warm winds that blow down and 1030 ignition. since then, 1200 acres have gone up. and we don't know how many homes have been lost. i mean, this is just one of them cars in that garage. a beautiful house on a beautiful little suburban street. gone. we have seen so many of these houses. the heat coming off this thing is intense right now. and look, if you can see these embers in the air, chris, can you show. so that's the problem. look at those embers on the wind that shows you how fast the wind is gusting. but every one of those embers could be another fire. i saw something just i don't know if you can see it just popped up behind that hedge just about five minutes ago. that's an ember, a spot fire. more up here. it is just never ending. and chris, down here, you see all this water on the street? caitlin. that's from the firefighters

caitlin raises a good question. who's even going to do this? because his whole team is coming with him to the administration. he'll find someone. but the lawyers do the oral argument. defendants usually do not attend those arguments. but, you know, six, eight months from now, maybe he'll choose to. >> we'll see. and, caitlin, you and i were just talking about covering trump at the white house. another person who was covering the white house with us was paula reid, who is sitting standing by. paula, your thoughts on what we just witnessed? pretty extraordinary stuff, not just the sentence of an unconditional release, which means he's not going to do any jail time. the fact that he is going to be going into the white house as a convicted felon. but the fact that he appeared virtually in those stunning images we just saw a few moments ago of him appearing in the courtroom on a flat screen in front of the judge, with his attorney by his side and the flags behind him. >> yeah, just zoom out here. big picture. six months ago, he faced four criminal c

>> well, caitlin todd blanche is now up.e's saying i very much disagree with much of what the government just said about this case. the idea of governing and the ability to govern with this label overhead, convicted felon is one that has gotten under the craw of the president elect. although there are arguments to be made that this case would not interfere with his ability to govern, given there would be no probation, presumably no jail time, or even a fine which would be virtually minimal. trump looking wild plant is speaking next to him, not reacting to what his attorney is saying, but the idea of governing. why is this continuing to be part of the discussion that the trump team will likely argue that they're unable to govern with that label of convicted felon? >> well, they're just arguing that essentially none of this should be happening, that they should not be here as part of the sentencing right now. this is what they argued against, not only delaying it. i mean, they wanted to delay it. in effect past january 20th, t

as caitlin said, greenland. not only has he been talking about it for some time, but a lot of people have been talking about it for some time. this idea of acquiring greenland for strategic purposes has happened, you know, for decades. and a close friend of trump's suggested it to him in his first term, ron lauder. it's never totally gone away, but trump is clearly in an expansionist mindset. he also keeps talking about canada as a 51st state that is clearly much more of a troll and sort of a dominance play. but in terms of trump talking about military action, or at least not ruling it out, as caitlin said, that caught a lot of people by surprise. it's not clear if that's actually something he's thinking about or something he said, because he was quite visibly in a pretty bad mood during this press conference. i think primarily because of the legal challenges that he's facing this week in the new york criminal case, and with the possibility of the jack smith report and the documents federal case getting released

caitlin, trump will take office in less than two weeks. what is he hoping to accomplish with this meeting? and could we hear directly from the president elect? >> well, wolf, he's got a lot that he wants to accomplish. >> the question is how republicans are going to get that done. >> and that is why the president right now is inside meeting with not only senate republican leadership, but all senate republicans in that meeting right now. >> we're told he entered the room to applause. he's there with top aides and the first lady, melania trump, the incoming first lady. i should note, and this is actually trump's first time inside the capitol since he won reelection in november. and so, really, the question coming out of this is what this is going to look like as far as a strategy, because right now, senate republicans and house republicans largely are divided on how to achieve what trump wants to get done legislatively. and he's got big things that he wants to get done, including relating to the tax cuts that he passed the first time he was

katein jenner -- caitlin general, we go back to caitlin jenner. as bruce general, competed in the olympics, won the decathlon. as caitlin jenner she stated that if she would have transitioned earlier, she would have won every gold medal. so clearly it's not fair. this does not respect the hard work, dedication, sacrifices made by female athletes. this was a commonsense bill. and there was a right way and wrong way to vote on it. in my view, as stated earlier, 99% of americans agree that men and boys should not be competing in women's and girls sports which is why my republican colleagues and i voted to pass this bill yesterday with with only two democrats voting along with with us. that's disturbing in itself. our republican congress will continue to stand with women throughout this congress and advocate for the protection of their rights. i yield back, mr. speaker. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman yields back. pursuant to clause 12-a of rule 1, the chair declares the house in recess until >> you can watch live coverage of the house when mem

caitlin. all right. stand by. joining me now is cnn senior legal analyst and former federal prosecutor elie honig. elie, what do you make of this response by jack smith? essentially, they're telling judge cannon down in florida to butt out of this january 6th case. what do you make of all this? >> well, jim, i think this is a perfectly fair and reasonable proposed solution by the justice department. first of all, with respect to the january 6th report in washington, dc, the justice department has the absolute right under law if they so choose to turn that over to congress to make it public. they should do that. and they've said that's what we intend to do. the legal dispute here really shouldn't have anything to do with the january 6th report. now, separately, we've got the report on the classified documents case in florida. and what the justice department has said is, okay, we understand there's two other defendants here other than trump. that's walt nauta and mr. de oliveira. they still have potentially live cas

caitlin, how are you feeling? how is your family coping? >> um, we are.ean, i'm in my bedroom right now, but i hear lots of laughter in the living room. the boys actually just got back from checking out the palisades and seeing seeing what's left. so they just spent some time there. so we're all getting updated, but i feel like we're all in the same boat and just happy. happy to all be together. quite a few of us in here, but we're happy to be together. >> well, i'm glad they're all safe. your family has lived in the palisades for almost a century. tell us about the community that you grew up in. >> the palisades. growing up there is like, your ideal situation. i mean, it's a small town in a big city. everybody knows each other. it is so close knit. i mean, my friends from elementary school are my friends now. our our parents are friends. everybody is, you know, it's just a very community driven area. and my family, they've lived there since the 1930s. so we know, you know, we know all the families. we know everyone getting affected, everybody's house tha

great to see you, caitlin. thank you so much for laying it all out for us. really appreciate it, sarah. >> all right. new this morning. at least five people have died. and that number is expected to rise as the winter storm that brought heavy snow and ice moves out. and brutal, dangerously cold temperatures move in. the storm caused chaos on the roads, shutting down highways and leaving drivers stranded, including at least 1700 drivers in missouri alone. the dc area, as we showed you yesterday, saw more than five inches of snow. its snowiest day in two years. but that's nothing compared to the record snowfall in kansas. the city of chapman saw more than 20in of snow. the storm's top. total crews across several states now racing to clear roads and restore power before the frigid temperatures set in, locking in snow and ice and creating dangerous conditions for people who don't have access to heat. cnn's derek van dam is joining me now with the very latest on the forecast. wow. it's going to get nasty again. >> yeah, the arctic invasion has already begun. in r

i mean, caitlin, you would, you would, you would, i guess, be able to expand on this. but donald trump sounded subdued. he he was saying the usual things, playing the greatest hits, but he wasn't so much ranting and raving. he sounded a little soft spoken. you know what it is. >> and i'm actually so glad you brought that up, because i was there for for several days of trump's trial in the courtroom, watching how he acted, where he would come out outside the courtroom in front of the cameras and go on a tirade against the judge, criticizing him, reading, quoting these legal scholars and then go into the courtroom. he was relatively subdued once he was actually in the room. that was actualla window into what that actually was like inside the courtroom. he's very different when obviously he's in front of the cameras. he knows people are watching how he's talking about this case, and then when he knows he's there in front of the judge and still in a courtroom, technically, even though he was appearing via zoom. and so it does give a window into what he's actually like when

you know, caitlin is right. we see videos, there are some members, you -- you have video why you voted yes on a bill. and you know bring congress to people, but i think we see because of how social media algorithm works not tip of content, we saw -- great example. with large omnibus or big continuesd resolution that had a lot of different smaller bills in it, some way social media is an opportunity, elon musk is right people should know in congress passes thousand page piece of legislation, people should know what is in it you see, lazy way of doingu it to have misinformation and lie about what is inor it and make things up, that is sad to watch, there is such great cases to improve trans p -- transparency. the platforms is stuff that is negative and voted no and just not true. >> i think another thing to know forka those who are still getting their news from local news outlets, more and more likely the coverage of a major bill passing congress will be ap story in "new york times" story, has been licensed to be

so the question is, caitlin, how much of this is donald trump being trying to negotiate and posturing and warning them? and how much do you really think he means it, particularly given the fact that a big part of his consistent campaign message for eight years has been, i'm going to get us out of wars. >> well, i mean, it was an extraordinary moment, one of the most extraordinary moments of that press conference where he was refusing to rule out using military force to retake the panama canal, something that he himself brought up. i should note in this press conference, when a reporter later asked, why are you bringing this up? obviously, it's a signature achievement of jimmy carter. he's about to be lying in state here in washington, trump said he was asked about it, but trump brought it up in his opening remarks. it's something that he's been quite fixated on behind the scenes, from what i've heard from from sources in the past few weeks on this issue, complaining about chinese influence. obviously, this was a signature achievement of jimmy carter's. he believed it improved relation

i'm here with caitlin and jamie as well. and caitlin, what do you make of trump deciding to slam jimmy carter over the panama canal treaty? on this day. >> well, you know, the panama canal specifically with jimmy carter. you know, when you look back at why he made that decision, there were a lot of people urging him not to to take that on. then they talked about how much political capital it was going to take for him to, to get that done. they brought a lot of senators, actually, and had them visit the panama canal. the canal at the time to try to help build support here on capitol hill. they actually felt like it worked. i watched a recent interview that jimmy carter's secretary of state did a few years ago. and just on that front, you know, but when jimmy carter pursued that as as many of his aides were urging him not to, he felt that it was important because he didn't know if he'd have two terms. a lot of people said, wait until your second term to try to get something like this done. but he felt that it was important bec

let me get caitlin and casey into this conversation.i'm sure you were as well, wolf. >> i wonder what you thought of jason carter's eulogy for his for his grandfather? because i just loved what he said. you know, i'm from the south southern grandparents, and we see them coming out now just over our shoulders, um, saying, all right, let's listen in for a minute. >> as they moved the coffin. >> and . asked and now the motorcade will leave the washington national cathedral and eventually head back to joint base andrews, just outside of washington, d.c., for the journey back to georgia to atlanta and plains georgia, where jimmy carter will be buried. >> and they just played hail to the chief wolf, a song that jimmy carter famously did not like and did not allow to be played. when he first took the white house, and then finally aides convinced him, you know, no, the american people like this, they like this part of the presidency and the majesty that comes with it in that sense. but he was just such a man of the people from his walk down pen

caitlin. >> good morning john. >> this is the final word from jack smith on that case against donald trump related to the january 6th attack, the 2020 election. >> and he does not mince words. he goes into quite a bit of depth about exactly what the prosecutors found as they were researching this case, as they were considering bringing charges, all of their thinking. and then he comes to the conclusion that he had come to, even after the supreme court gave quite a bit of immunity around the presidency and donald trump himself, that there were criminal actions that donald trump took after the 2020 election while he was still president, as a way to maintain power, to hold on to the american presidency. one of the things that he points out in many, many examples is how trump knew that the election was not stolen in 2020, that there was not widespread fraud that could have delivered him a victory, and that he continued to lie to his supporters, especially in one point of this report, smith goes into detail about how trump was speaking to mike pence, the vice president. pence called him d
