winter alerts impacting millions from arizona all the way east. heavy snow, rain, large hail and possible tornados. rob marciano timing it out. >>> the new travel warning from the faa with more than 1,500 flights canceled again today. what to expect in the coming days. >>> the champagne shortage heading into the final hours of 2021. why high-end champagne may be in short supply. >>> and celebrating the new year around the world. in the shadow of the pandemic, nations cheering the promise of hope for the future. >>> good evening. and thanks for joining us on this final night of the 2021. i'm whit johnson in for david. as millions prepare to usher in the new year, we begin tonight with breaking news, the death of beloved actress and comedienne betty white. she passed away in her home in los angeles just weeks ahead of what would have been her 100th birthday. celebrations were already in the works. she was ageless work generations of fan. her remarkable career spanning eight decades. her credits dating back to the 190s. former costars remembering her

. >> gop governor across the country lashing out here's how the arizona governor responded. court the president wants it both ways he demands governors resolve the pandemic because his administration can't yet he continues to push vaccine mandate on businesses with no thought to the consequences. rnc chair ronna mcdaniel joins me now. by and try to tout his covid plan for testing after his comments caught fire but the white house is the president on vacation and delaware of course will not be signing the contract for this 500 million at-home test until late next week. honestly that means they're not going to get in people's hands for several weeks. what you make of all of this? >> the biden administration has been caught flat-footed but let's not forget what joe biden ran on pretty ran on stopping the virus, getting rid of covid. this was the number one issue in his campaign for president and now he is saying we thought the federal government's fault it's at the state issue it is such a fillet in the testing failure. this is something a biden a ministration should have seen

taiwan to escape the geopolitical scenario of a chinese may meant seizure of taiwan, building plans, arizona in the united states, japan, korea and maybeun eventually korea, we continue to distribute and dissipate production to achieve greater systemic resilience, a fancy way of saying if one place stops something, you can get it from somewhere else and that is the world we need to build and the more we invest in this, the more we get toward that scenario and we are doing it all the time precisely because of the nature of geopolitics. it's not despite it, it's because of it. china billed these infrastructure for their own national interest to get it from as far as ukraine, ship things of the arctic and to europe. it benefits more than just china, it is dual use if you will so that's what i think is going on. the individual domain, the internet infrastructure and the share of the economy increasingly digital anyway, irrespective of whether or not a shipping container or tanker gets stuck in the canal, it doesn't stop the digital economy and we are not good at measuring digital economy and the

i visited tribal communities in arizona. there is a disconnect between what we do in washington and the needs of our travel community. this is an opportunity to make sure we have everybody's voice at the table but we need a white house to say yes now. last week, i sent a letter. we have 25 committee chairs in the house. all 25 committee chairs sent a letter to the president saying this is urgent, please do this white house conference. everybody from the chairman of the ad committee to the chairman of the intelligence committee to the chairman of the small business committee to the chairman of the farm relations committee. everybody is on board. we can't even agree about what to have for lunch in the capital but everybody is on board in the need for this conference. the final thing, i will go back to you in the private sector, i would say hundreds of political conditions. we have the money, the food, the resources, the knowledge, everything. we have not had the political will. i think maybe because it is spread out among diff

but arizona and new hampshire, where the situation is not as clear. at the end of the day, the republicans have their act together and they have some oomph behind them about people's feelings about the biden demonstration, and the need to check and balance. but the senate will be a close thing. >> anita: what about joe manchin? does he stay a democrat? >> i think he does. if he doesn't -- i should say this, i don't think he becomes republican. he could become an independent and caucus with the democrats, but i don't think given his family history, his father and his grandfather were both bigwigs and the democratic party in west virginia. i don't think he switches parties. i do think the democrats gave some gubernatorial seats, but they lose ground in the state legislative races. at the bottom of the pyramid they are not doing too well. >> gillian: we've got to leave it there. thanks so much for joining us today. we appreciate it. >> happy new year. >> gillian: happy new year. i hope it wears off or all of us. >> i agree with hillary clinton, weird. ve

rain across parts of arizona and new mexico, part of a disturbance that's going to drop today and tomorrow, start to bring snow. we just saw those fires in colorado, certainly putting out the fire, but now it's going to be incredibly cold for people who are digging through beginning that clean-up process. you're starting to see that snow make its way closer to the front range that's been incredibly dry. drought conditions across colorado. now we're going to get some snow along with this one later on today and into tomorrow. but eventually, we've got a pretty heavy snowstorm across the central part of the country, kansas, nebraska, iowa, chicago and over towards detroit. and then the southern side is where we have the severe weather threat and a flooding threat as well. that takes place today, later this afternoon to tonight in the overnight hours. mostly some strong winds, maybe some hail, and we couldn't rule out an isolated tornado today. we saw that severe weather is a couple weeks ago in places like mayfield, kentucky. again, areas that if you're going to get severe weather this time o

if someone from a border state, born and raised in arizona, and i figured the border. it is insulting for the people of the southwest for her to laugh it off and shrugged about coming to the border when there is a border crisis. there are people crossing the desert every single day, many of them winding up in hospitals because it is such a severe track, and as we saw, we have people massively congregating in a time of the pandemic. they did not have effective testing, they did not have isolation and quarantine, so no, it's a slap in the face to americans when you have her laughing when she is the one tasked with fixing the major problem. >> kayleigh: laurent, here's another moment. we had a bunch of them and we can only fit in so many. let's roll the tape. >> just a few days ago there were funds allocated to israel and it hurts my heart because ethnic. >> vice president harris: your voice, your perspective, it is not being oppressed. it must be heard. >> kayleigh: leaning into a narrative of ethnic genocide. >> lauren: i'm going to say this, i agree with the message th

host: arizona, democratic, anthony. what's your top news story up to thousand will do one? caller: happy new year and to the team members all over the world. my top news story would be art versus science. i have used that strongly because politics are like an art. science is a study, in-depth. i want to phrase it in for --four areas. recycle, recovery, regenerate and renew. we are in a recycle where we cannot figure out what we are doing, what's going on. we are in recovery will be start to realize what's going on. we are in a regenerate will we start to take action, and i spoke about change. there we are in a renewal when we recognize we don't want to go back to that situation before, that we can do better. and that's why i say that we have let science drive us for a long time. it has helped us through many wonderful things, and now people are saying don't trust the science. so now they are using art to say science doesn't work. host: james, north dakota, republican. caller: how are you doing? of course it's the january 6 brian -- write it. that -- the january 6 riot. they

stretched thin and infections soaring, the pentagon is deploying teams of military medical personnel to arizona, michigan and pennsylvania to support health care workers. the covid surge has many rethinking or revising their new year's eve plans. new year's city is scaling back its iconic celebrations in times square. >> it will be outdoors, vaccinations only, socially distanced. but we want to show that we're a little bit forward. >> reporter: boston will offer vaccines during its celebration. >> i am very excited we're able to bring it back in a way that continues makes our city safer, healthier and more prepared for the new year. >> reporter: but it is a bumpy start to the new year for air travel. delta expected to cancel 200 to 300 flights a kay through the weekend. and jet blue announcing over 1,200 cancellations over the next week. 88 vessels under close watch by the cdc. the agency issuing a new warning to avoid cruise travel regardless of vaccination status. >> i think cruises, any big -- any place where you are together with a whole lot of people over the next couple of months you can

really two-pronged, one, the weather, you are seeing winter storm frida hitting colorado, new mexico, arizona also in the midwest, iowa, nebraska. it will be making its way -- we're talking about winter wind chills, we're talking about snow and sleet. that is going to be hitting michigan and iowa today. it will be making its way to ohio and new york tomorrow, but also we're talking about omicron here. we're talking about these airliners who have been very direct in saying they frankly do not have the staffing because of shortages in order to maintain their airlines, noting that they canceled it. tsa has already tripled the number of its tsa agents over the last week that are out and in just the last hour the faa stating they are expecting further delays and cancellations because of their own staffing issues. yasmin? >> so we're talking about staff shortages on the airlines of course affecting travel across the board. tsa as well. priscilla, with that i want to go to you. you're looking at new york city obviously the center it seems for celebrations when it comes to new year's eve, right, para

host: arizona, democratic, anthony. what's your top news story up to thousand will do one? caller: happy new year and to the team members all over the world. my top news story would be art versus science. i have used that strongly because politics are like an art. science is a study, in-depth. i want to phrase it in for --four areas. recycle, recovery, regenerate and renew. we are in a recycle where we cannot figure out what we are doing, what's going on. we are in recovery will be start to realize what's going on. we are in a regenerate will we start to take action, and i spoke about change. there we are in a renewal when we recognize we don't want to go back to that situation before, that we can do better. and that's why i say that we have let science drive us for a long time. it has helped us through many wonderful things, and now people are saying don't trust the science. so now they are using art to say science doesn't work. host: james, north dakota, republican. caller: how are you doing? of course it's the january 6 brian -- write it. that -- the january 6 riot. they

homeland security to screen people. >> it is chaotic of a situation you are seeing what is happening in arizona right now they have limited manpower, border patrol agents are over worked underpaid under manned, and it is just a terrible situation, you are seeing what is happening in yuma, in arizona what happened in texas nine months ago going to see this continue o to spread because this administration isn't taking border security serious what is going to happen they are going get americans killed like they got americans killed in afghanistan months ago you are going to see americans killed in united states, if the administration doesn't absent shouldn't be a partisan issue. of the. >> my point about bringing somebody -- bringing specialists from homeland security bringing them to the border to dig into this maybe assist not many people that specialize in middle east come to southern border helpfying out if letting terrorists in our borders it is frightening, continue get me on whole covid thing obviously, the other big issue at border we are dealing with omicron in this country, then there is

rules, so yeah, i could blame princeton because these ideas are crazy but coming from a state school in arizona, i'm not surprised that these ivy leagues are crazy. i can't believe how complaint the students are. even how polite and nice and they are like i'm frustrated. i'm frustrated? i thought they had a diversity program there. where are the latinos losing their mind in that school. i can't believe that the student s are allowing this to happen. that they haven't protested. we saw women burning bras in the 60s over less than this. this is an absolute infringement on their freedom and i can't understand, actually what scares me is how complaint and submissive the students have been through what i think is a chinese-style surveillance system that has been imposed not just in princeton. i had a son at madison university of wisconsin madison last year and if you didn't have a covid test, you couldn't get into a building. if you were kids were turning each other in, they were encouraging kids to nixon each other if they weren't wearing masks or they were too close to somebody else. this is insan

in maricopa county, arizona, it's a republican-dominated county, but, again, it's the same phenomena. you're seeing the same thing. >> it is a sad state of affairs in our country when election officials who keep our elections operating are being threatened with their lives for simply doing their job. peter eisler from reuters, again, thank you for helping us to understand your excellent reporting along with your team. greatly appreciate it. >>> up next, will republicans be successful in their efforts to gerrymander congressional districts ahead of the 2020 election? there's new data on out and it may actually surprise you. stay with us. ith us i'm jonathan lawson here to tell you about life insurance through the colonial penn program. if you're age 50 to 85, and looking to buy life insurance on a fixed budget, remember the three ps. what are the three ps? the three ps of life insurance on a fixed budget are price, price, and price. a price you can afford, a price that can't increase, and a price that fits your budget. i'm 54, what's my price? you can get coverage for $9.95 a month. i'

the wisconsin state journal, cbs news, the arizona daily star as well among others. the piece methodically lays out all the evidence behind one of the biggest stories that we have been following this year. the coordinated effort by donald trump and his supporters to the republican party to clear the way for trump's next attempted insurrection or coup. all year long they have been working to convince republicans that the last election was stolen. and then to put into place the infrastructure to control the outcome of future elections despite with the voters may stay. as the ap describes, it in battleground states and beyond republicans are taking hold of the once overlooked machinery of elections. experts are sounding alarms, warning that the united states is witnessing a slow motion insurrection with the better chance of success than trump's failed power grab last year. the attack is happening of course on multiple fronts. people are infiltrating election boards or several candidates that denied the loss running for office and the key role in the election of the next

we will try again with arizona congressman and the biggs. you just heard what doctor macarey said about why we are not pushing these treatments, vaccine or else policy, what do you think is behind that? >> i think he is right for two reasons. when he talks about big pharma having other economic interests they got on a path and want to keep this past and these other therapeutics are not going to make them a lot of money but you have to look at the efficacy of big government, married to big pharma here and this power, this control, this move for that and that is what is going on in my opinion. >> what kind of control does big pharma have over congress do you think? how much control? >> if you look at the federal elections commission reports you will see pharma contributes to a lot of members of congress and they contribute a lot of money. they may be the biggest lobbyist organization there. they do have a lot of sway. some of it is necessary of course because we need that information but other parts of it makes you wonder and this epidemic of

this is the mayor of yuma arizona. mayor, this is outrageous. we have cartels that are funneling people and drugs into the country. they get into the border and the last leg of the mission is being executed by uber? >> that's a new development in yuma. the border patrol was so overwhelmed. they could not pick up people along the border that were waiting to get through the system and give them their paper work to stay in country for the next few years waiting for a court date. that's the process of what happened. some called 911 to try to get rides from the police department which we don't do. some took it into their own hands and called uber to get over to the border patrol station. and some took to foot. we had hundreds walking through our community. they have to go 10 miles to get to the border patrol station. they were walking into the community without any resources and not knowing where they were going. there was a mix of things that led me declaring a local proclamation of emergency. >> sean: when i get into anec uber, they make me wear a

so we're going to try again with arizona congressman andy biggs. congressman, you just heard what the doctor said about why we are not pushing these treatments, it's this vaccine or else policy. what do you think is behind that, congressman? >> thanks, lisa, good to be with you. i think he's right, two reasons. number one, when he talks about big pharma having other economic interests, they got on a path and they want to keep this path there and these other therapeutics aren't really going to make them a lot of money, so you've got to look at the money angle for short. but then you also have to look at the efficacy of big government married to big pharma here and what you see is kind of this power, this control, this move for that. that's also what's going on, in my opinion. >> lisa: what kind of controlled his big pharma have over congress do you think? how much control? >> well, lisa, if you look at the federal elections commission report, you're going to see that it contributes to a lot of members of congress and they contribute a lot of money.

noam chomsky joined us from his home in tucson, arizona, where he teaches at the university of arizona. we asked him about the state of the pandemic and why so many americans have refused to get vaccinated. >> it is overwhelmingly a far right phenomenon others have been drawn in. and i think there are many sources. one of them is probably social media, ich does circulate lots of dubious or even false information. and if people are dded to a particular part of it, that's what they'll be fed. but beyond that, there is skepticism, which has justification, about the role of government. happens to be misplaced in this case, but you can understand the origins of the skepticism. and it's not just the pandemic. much worse than that are the attitudes of skepticism about global warming. so one rather shocking fact that i learned recently is that during the trump years, among republicans, the belief that global warming is a serious problem -- not even an urgent problem, just a serious problem -- declined about 20%. that's very serious. here we're talking not just about the spread of a pandemic, b

in arizona. look at georgia. look at other states that were pivotal in the decision of the 2020 election last year. you are seeing political operatives, hacks, that have no election experience been the knee to the former president and are looking to take over secretary of state roles. jody has in georgia. i have serious concerns that if they are in the secretary of state role certifying elections in 2022 and 2024, we may not have the brad ratzenberger's and katie hobbs that actually upheld their constitutional duties the next time around. in fact, we may have a different outcome with political interference at the state level. david: chris, avery follow-up. democrats -- a brief follow-up. democrats in congress argue the situation is so serious in terms of election integrity and outcomes that we need new legislation to protect our elections. do you think that they are right? chris: don't just listen to democrats in congress, listen to ginsberg, a republican election law your who wrote a review in the national -- wh

similar measures coming in places like arizona, missouri, and florida. and i also just want to put school libraries on the radar for people because that's going to be an issue. it's not just about our schools and the classroom but really about anywhere that children could potentially learn about our country's fuller history and libraries have absolutely been a resource for countless children and their parents in helping to kind of fill in the gaps of what public education leaves out, which is why libraries are also now in the crosshairs. there's a bill out of oklahoma that i hope people have seen and i know that has been written about at msnbc that allows parents who believe their child's school is carrying a book that they don't like to submit a written request to remove that book, and once the school gets the request, they have 30 days to remove the book, and for every day that that book is not removed, there's a $10,000 fine for that school, and the parent can seek compensation for the attorneys fees and court costs. i mean, you know, this is somethin

deploying more medical personnel to help assist staff-depleted hospitals in pennsylvania, michigan, and arizona. in green bay, wisconsin, 23 naviy doctors, nurses, and other medical staff are providing relief to hospital workers there. meanwhile at the airports, another miserable day for travelers. more than a thousand flights have been canceled today alone. more are expected as pilots and flight attendants get sidelined by covid. jetblue tells nbc news it is proactively canceling more than 1,200 flights through january, heading off the wave of sickouts, all fueled by another record in new cases. the u.s. is now averaging nearly 300,000 new infections a day. but with home testing kits still in short supply and hours-long waits to get a pcr test, there is a consensus that that 300,000 number is well short of the true number of daily cases. yes, cases are spiking, at a dizzying rate. but, and this is a big "but," the caseload is not matching an equally dizzying hospitalization rate. new cases up 60% in the past week. new hospitalizations up 14%. and covid-related deaths are actually down, that's

joining me now, mark brnovich, arizona attorney general. welcome. >> thank you, mike, for having me on. >> mike: is president biden, vice president harris, or secretary mayorkas were to call you and say, how do we fix it, what would you tell them? >> it starts with recognizing the problem. second, it continues with following existing law. as you know, we have numerous losses. i'm going to be arguing a case in february at the u.s. supreme court about the biden administration incentivizing, monetizing people coming year. they won't even recognize as a problem. you mentioned kamala harris, she is involved in this. it shows the lack of seriousness that president biden. nothing is getting done. they want to acknowledge a problem. the border is the man-made disaster. it is not climate change or whatever aoc and her enablers want us to think in d.c. we are seeing a record amount of people coming into this country and a record amount of drugs like sentinel and methamphetamines, which are killing our sons and daughters, nieces and nephews, flooding

we learned that 65 more military medical personnel will deploy to arizona, michigan in the coming days to treat covid patients. the cdc is out with a new warning in the past hour telling all americans to avoid cruise ship travel no matter what their vaccination status is. that news comes as covid surges to record levels, more americans have tested positive for covid in the last week alone than they did in the entire first three months of the pandemic. the good news, right now cases are far outpacing hospitalizations. two-thirds of americans over the age of five are fully vaccinated, 68 million of those folks have received their booster shots. joining me now from greenwich hospital in connecticut is antonia hilton, gary grumbach is in the nation's capital and also joining us is dr. peter hotez, the director of texas children's hospital center for vaccine development. connecticut's governor announced the state would distribute 3 million test kits, 6 million n95 masks. how are they rolling all of that out and is it going to be enough? >> reporter: well, joe, frankly the rollout hasn't got

my concern or question relates to immigration, most recently from the texas and arizona border and the covid infection protocol was being implemented. i just have a feeling that it is very fragmented and i wonder if you could tell me if you have a high level of confidence that this is being done consistently, and if so, perhaps you could cite a specific example that would assure americans that these people that are coming in seeking asylum or who have been granted asylum or a being transported to different places in the united states have actually been vaccinated. thank you and good morning. guest: i haveguest: -- i don't have a lot of insight into the procedures being taken at the border to try to control the risk of infection coming across the border. i will say generally i have a low level of competence that we keep infection out of this country whether it is green -- being brought in by other countries illegally or people who are coming in through legal immigration or people who are just flying into the country for a visit. the idea that we could close our borders coming into the u

congressman andy biggs, republican from arizona joined me now. how are businesses in your state reacting to the hike in the minimum wage. >> this was done by voters through an initiative process that triggered the cpi so it is going to keep going up but a problem like this, i was thinking about this, talked to a couple restaurant tours in the past week or so and they can't keep help, they are paying well above the minimum wage and there are so many jobs available in arizona today, even above the minimum wage and a lot of this is because of the bonuses that were given, you have this massive shortage of labor. ashley: it is affecting everyone across the country. restaurants having to pay more and more to entice people to come and work. the next one, you just returned from a visit to the southern border. tell us what you see. >> probably as bad or worse than i had ever seen. i went to multiple gaps and every gap i went to, the first one, the cvp finish transporting a big group out of there. local law enforcement was all that was there at that gap. 4

my concern or question relates to immigration, most recently from the texas and arizona border and the covid infection protocol was being implemented. i just have a feeling that it is very fragmented and i wonder if you could tell me if you have a high level of confidence that this is being done consistently, and if so, perhaps you could cite a specific example that would assure americans that these people that are coming in seeking asylum or who have been granted asylum or a being transported to different places in the united states have actually been vaccinated. thank you and good morning. guest: i haveguest: -- i don't have a lot of insight into the procedures being taken at the border to try to control the risk of infection coming across the border. i will say generally i have a low level of competence that we keep infection out of this country whether it is green -- being brought in by other countries illegally or people who are coming in through legal immigration or people who are just flying into the country for a visit. the idea that we could close our borders coming into the u
