DR. TORRES WILL JOIN US. >> FINALLY A LITTLE BIT OF GOOD NEWS. >> MORE DID NEWS. I'LL BE BACK AND AROUND. I'M JUST HELPING OUT. I WAS ON MATERNITY. I'M HAPPY TO BE BACK. >> SO IF YOU KNOW TO REUNITE WITH THE TEAM. >> I'M THRILLED TO BE UP. I'LL BE BACK. WE'LL BEGIN THIS MORNING WITH THE MAJOR ANNOUNCEMENT FROM THE SANTA FE DISTRICT ATTORNEY RECORDING THE 'RUST' MOVIE SHOOTING INVESTIGATION. >> ALEC BALDWIN WILL BE CHARGED IN INVOLUNTARY MANSLAUGHTER FOR THE KILLING OF THE HUT WOMAN. >> Reporter: THE PROSECUTOR CALLED IT CRIMINAL DISREGARD FOR SAFETY. IT IS A FIREARM ENHANCEMENT CHARGE IN HIS ROLE IN THE DEATH OF CINEMATOGRAPHER. THE DISTRICT ATTORNEY'S BOMBSHELL ANNOUNCEMENT, IF CONVICTED ON ALL CHARGES, THE FAMED ACTORS COULD FACE UP TO SIX AND A HALF YEARS IN PRISON. >> THE GUN WAS IN HIS HAND WHEN HE PULLED THE TRIGGER.
THAT WAS THE MAIN ACTION THAT KILLED THE WOMAN. >> Reporter: THEY SAY THAT HE HELD THE GUN THAT KILLED HER. THE AUTHORITIES DO NOT BALDWIN'S STATEMENT THAT IT MISFIRED. >> HE SAID THAT NEVER PULLED THE GUN. THAT GUN WOULD NOT HAVE FIRED WITHOUT AT TRIGGER BEING PULLED. >> Reporter: BALDWIN'S ATTORNEYS SAID WE WILL FIGHT THE CHARGES AND WE WILL WIN. >> DO YOU THINK SOMEONE SHOULD GO TO PRISON OVER ALL OF THE EVIDENCE THAT YOU'VE REVIEW ANSWERED. >> PRISON IS NOT NECESSARILY THE GOAL. WHAT I WANT IS JUSTICE FOR HER AND I WANT PEOPLE TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY AND ACCOUNTABILITY FOR WHAT THEIR ACTIONS OR INACTIONS WERE.
>> Reporter: IT INCLUDES BODY CAMERA FOOTAGE, POLICE INTERVIEWS AND FORENSIC TESTING OF THE GUN. THE DISTRICT ATTORNEY IS CHARGING THE ARMORER. >> THIS WAS MORE THAN MERE NEGLIGENCE. IT WAS PEOPLE ACTING RECKLESSLY AND NOT DOING THEIR JOB, VIOLATING ALL THE STANDARDS THAT WE HAVE TO FOLLOW IF WE HAVE A GUN IN OUR HANDS. >> Reporter: DAVE HALL, THE ASSISTANT DIRECTOR THAT LOOKED AT THE GUN BEFORE IT WAS GIVEN TO BALDWIN, CUT A PLEA DEAL WITH THE DISTRICT ATTORNEY FOR A LESSER CHARGE. GETTING PROBATION AFTER AGREEING TO TESTIFY AGAINST BALDWIN AND REED. >> HE'S GOING TO TESTIFY TO THE TRUTH. HE'S NOT OUT TO GET ANYONE. HE'S GOING TO TESTIFY TO THE TRUTH. >> Reporter: A MOVIE SET TRAGEDY AND NOW THE REAL LIFE CONSEQUENCES FOR THE ACTOR. THE ARMORER AND THE ASSISTANT DIRECT, WHO THE AUTHORITIES SHOULD HAVE ALL PREVENTED THE DEADLY SHOOTING. >> HER HUSBAND SAID THAT HE SPORTS THE CHARGES ADDING, NO ONE IS ABOVE THE LAW. >>> NBC NEWS LEGAL ANALYST WE GO TO BREAK THIS ALL DOWN.
WE TALKED ABOUT THIS ONE WHEN IT FIRST WENT DOWN. YOU'RE CRITICAL OF THE DISTRICT ATTORNEY'S DECISION. >> CAN WE STOP WITH NO ONE IS ABOVE THE LAW. IS THERE ANYBODY ON THE OTHER SIDE SAYING THERE ARE PEOPLE THAT ARE ABOVE THE LAW. THEY MAY ACT THAT WAY. YES, I'M CRITICAL OF THE PROSECUTION. AFTER HEARING THEIR INTERVIEWS YESTERDAY, I'M MORE CRITICAL THE THEORIES OF THE CASE. AND I THINK THEY HAVE PROBLEMS. NUMBER ONE, ONE OF THE THEORIES WHEN ASKED, ARE YOU GOING AFTER HIM AS A PRODUCER OR AS AN ACTOR? THEY SAID BOTH. THEY DON'T KNOW WHICH THEORY THEY'RE PROCEEDING WITH. THE ISSUE OF HOW THE LIVE ROUND THAT GOT ON THE SET IS A RED HERRING. THEY DON'T CARRY ABOUT THAT ONE. >> PROSECUTION DID NOT FIND OUT IF SOMEONE GOT THE LIVE ROUND ON THE SET.
THEY DIDN'T BOTHER TO FIND OUT. YOU NO WHY? THEY DON'T CARE. WHY? THEY HAD TUNNEL VISION FROM DAY ONE. THEY KNEW THAT THE TROPHY THEY WANTED AND IT WAS ALEC BALDWIN. LISTEN TO THEIR INTERVIEWS, THEY TALK ABOUT FANCY PANTS HOLLYWOOD TYPES, YOU'RE NOT ABOVE THE LAW. THEY'RE EVIDENCING TO ME THAT THEY HAVE A VENDETTA ALEC BALDWIN. DID HE BRING IT ON HIMSELF WITH THE PODCAST AND INTERVIEWS AND SAYING I INVESTIGATED THIS. THAT IS WHY PEOPLE LIKE I SAY, KEEP YOUR MOUTH SHOT. DO NOT GO ON THE TV SHOWS WHERE EVERYONE TALKS THEMSELVES INTO JAIL. HE BROKE THAT RULE. SHAME ON HIM. BUT THAT SHOULD NOT BE IT. >> THAT SOUNDS LIKE A CLOSING ARGUMENT. >> THE PROSECUTORS CAN, BY THE TIME THEY DO ENTER CLOSING ARGUMENTS HAVE DEVELOPED THAT? >> BUT THEY GAVE US THE PREVIEW. WE KNOW THE THEORY ON WHICH THEY ARE CHARGING ALEC BALDWIN. THEY TOLD US. IT WILL BE BORN OUT IN THEIR CHARGING DOCUMENTS. I DON'T THINK THEY'LL VARY TOO MUCH FROM THAT I KNOW THE SUBSECTIONS OF THE STATUE THAT THEY'RE TALKING ABOUT.
WHEN USING A FIREARM, THERE IS A PERMISSIVE SUBSECTION THAT SAID YOU NEED ORDINARY NEGLIGENCE. THAT IS NOT GOOD FOR BALDWIN. MY ARGUMENT FOR THAT IS THIS WAS NOT A FIREARM. ALEC BALDWIN DIDN'T BELIEVE HE WAS HOLDING A FIREARM. HE BELIEVED THAT HE WAS HOLDING SOMETHING ELSE. THIS IS NEW MEXICO. IT IS AN OPEN CARRY STATE. WILL THEY SAY, IF IT LOOKS LIKE A GUN, EVEN IF YOU'RE ON FILM SET, YOU SHOULD NOT POINT THAT AT ANYBODY, EVEN IF IT IS A BLOCK OF PLASTIC, NEVER PULL THE TRIGGER.
IF THAT THEORY WORKS FOR THE PROSECUTION, THEN MAYBE HE GETS CONVICTED. BUT I THINK THERE ARE TOO MANY HOLES. >> YOU MENTIONED SOMETHING THAT IS WHAT A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE WONDERING AND LOOKING AT THE DETAILS. LIKE WHAT YOU MENTIONED BEING CHARGED AS A PRODUCER OR ACTOR. WHAT YOU SAID IF IT IS PLASTIC THAT IS HIM AS AN ACTOR. I'VE DONE THIS MANY TIMES BEFORE. AS A PRODUCER, THE QUESTION IS, HOW DID THE LIVE ROUND GET ON SET. IF THEY WERE JUST FOCUSED ON THE PRODUCER ASPECT, SHOULD THERE HAVE BEEN MORE PEOPLE CHARGED? >> YES, THAT IS THE CHAIN OF COMMAND.
I THINK THE DEFENSE CAN FIGHT THIS. IF YOU'RE ARGUMENT IS ALEC BALDWIN WAS THE KING YOU HAVE THIS PRODUCTION AND THE GUY THAT OVERSAW EVERYTHING, MAYBE YOU HAVE A THEORY THAT WHY NOT CHARGE PEOPLE UNDER HIM IN THE CHAIN OF COMMAND? THE ANSWER WOULD BE, THAT IS WHY YOU HIRE AN ARMORER. IS SHE YOUNG AND EXPERIENCED? YES. BUT YOU RELY ON THE PROFESSIONALS THAT YOU HIRE THAT THEY WILL DO THEIR JOB. IS THAT AN ARGUMENT THAT WILL APPEAL TO 100% OF THE PEOPLE THAT YOU PUT TO? NO. PROBABLE CAUSE JUST GETS YOU TO A TRIAL. THEY SHOULD BELIEVE THEY CAN PROVE THEIR CASE TO BEYOND A REASONABLE DOUBT. IT IS NOT JUST PROBABLE CAUSE WHICH IS MORE LIKELY THAN NOT. THAT IS THEIR ETHICAL DUTY. THEY MUST BELIEVE THEY CAN PROVE THE CASE. >> WHAT ABOUT ALEC BALDWIN THAT HE DIDN'T PULL THE TRIGGER. AND THEY SAY THAT IS NO WAY IT COULD HAVE BEEN FIRED.
>> Reporter: I'M NOT SURE THAT HURTS ALEC BALDWIN THAT MUCH. HE STILL HAS THE FALL BACK ARGUE. I PULLED THE TRIGGER. BUT I BELIEVED THIS WAS A COLD GUN. THIS WILL BE A BATTLE OF THE EXPERTS. I'M NOT A FIREARMS EXPERT. I THINK THEY'LL BE ABLE TO FIND ONE FIREARM EXPERTS WITH THE OLDER MODEL SINGLE ACTION REVOLVERS, IT IS POSSIBLE IF THE HAMMER IS MAKING CONTACT WITH THE FIRING PIN WILL GO OFF IF IS IT JOSTLED. THEY WOULD LEAVE WANT CHAMBERS EMPTY BECAUSE THEY NEW THAT THE FIRING PIN WOULD BE REST THING AND THAT COULD CAUSE AN UNINTENTIONAL DISCHARGE. IF THEY CAN FIND ONE EXPERT, THAT PUTS REASONABLE DOUBT IN THEIR HEAD. TAKE TO TRIAL. >>> ONE OF THE BIGGEST BREECHES IN SUPREME COURT HISTORY AFTER A LENGTHEN INVESTIGATION, THE COURT IS UNABLE TO FIND THE PERSON THAT LEAKED A DRAFT OPINION INDICATING THAT THE COURT WAS ABOUT TO ROLL BACK ABORTION RIGHTS.
AND THEY SAY IT IS LIKELY THAT THE IT SYSTEMS WERE COMPROMISED. 97 COURT EMPLOYEES WERE INTERVIEWED AND ALL DENIED BEING THE LEAKER. THE HIGH COURT CALLED IT ONE OF THE WORST BETRAYALS OF TRUST IN HISTORY AND A GREAT ASSAULT ON THE JUDICIAL PROCESS. >>> AND NOW ALL THE WAY BACK TO MARCH 50 YEARS SINCE THE ROE V. WADE DECISION WAS BY THE SUPREME COURT ALLOWING WOMEN TO LEGALLY ACCESS ABORTIONS ACROSS THE COUNTRY. BUT THAT WAS OVERTURNED SEVEN MONTHS AGO. THOUSANDS ARE EXPECTED TO RALLY IN WASHINGTON TODAY AS MARCH FOR LIFE PROTEST.
ORGANIZERS ARE SETTING THE SIGHTS ON CONGRESS AS THE REPRODUCTIVE BATTLE. WHAT CAN WE EXPECT TO SEE FROM THE MARCH? WHAT DO YOU ANTICIPATE IN TERMS OF TURNOUT? >> Reporter: GOOD MORNING. SO WE SPOKE TO THE PRESIDENT FOR A MARCH FOR LIFE. SHE ECHOED HOW A LOT OF PEOPLE FEEL THAT ARE PARTICIPATING TODAY IS THAT JOB IS A CRITICAL MILESTONE. BUT IT IS NOT THE END OF THE FIGHT. THEY SAY THAT THE ABORTIONS ARE STILL HAPPENING AND SO IS THEIR MARCH. THEIR WHOLE ACTIVE IS TO SET UP BURGEES. HINT. ME, YOU CAN SEE THE CAPITOL. WHAT THEY'RE DOING TODAY IS THEY'RE CHANGING THE ROUTE. THEY'RE SETTING THEIR SIGHTS ON CONGRESS. THEY ARE WALKING PAST THE CAPITOL AND STOPPING IN FRONT OF IT BEFORE THEY MAKE THEIR WAY TO THE SUPREME COURT. AND FOR THE FIRST TIME, THEY'RE NOT GOING TO BE STOPPING AT THE SUPREME COURT.
THEY'RE GOING STOCK STOPPING IN BETWEEN THE CAPITOL AND THE SUPREME COURT. AGAIN, AS A NOD TO WHAT LIES AHEAD IN THEIR FIGHT AGAINST ABORTION. WHEN WE TALK ABOUT THE CHANGES THIS YEAR, ROW HAS BEEN OVERTURNED. THEY SAID THERE IS STILL MORE OF A FIGHT. THEY ARE TAKING THIS TO A STATE LEVEL. SINCE 2019, THEY HAVE BEEN TRYING TO EXPAND MARCHES ON A LOCAL LEVEL. THEY MOVED TO MORE THAN A DOZEN STATES. THEY EXPANDED MORE STATES THIS YEAR. THEY'RE TRYING TO CHANGE THE CULTURE NOW AND SHIFTING TO A CULTURAL CHANGE AND TRYING TO MAKE ABORTIONS UNTHINK ANAL. >> UNTHINKABLE. >> MANY HAVE ACCESS PLANNED THIS WEEK AND BIGGER THAN ROE EVENT WHAT DO WE KNOW ABOUT THOSE EVENTS? >> Reporter: YES, BIGGER THAN ROE. THEY ARE PUTTING ON LOCAL MARCHES ACROSS THE COUNTRY. THE WHOLE IDEA BEHIND THAT ROE WAS NEVER MEANT TO BE THE END. IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE THE BOTTOM LINE. THERE WERE CONCERNS AS ROE WAS PUT IN PLACE AND CONCERNS THAT REMAIN NOW THAT ROE IS OVERTURNED.
>> THERE IS IT A LOT OF CONFUSION WHAT IS SAFE AND WHAT IS NOT SAFE WHAT WE ARE ABLE TO DO, LEGALLY SAFE NOW THAT ABORTION IS BANNED. ABORTION IS SAFETY AND EFFECTIVE. THOSE ARE SEEKING PROVIDERS LIKE ME AND SUPPORTING PEOPLE THAT DO SO. >> Reporter: THE SUPPORTERS FOR ABORTION RIGHTS ARE FIGHTING FOR LEGAL AND SAFE OPTIONS FOR PEOPLE THAT NEED TO GET AN ABORTION. AND NOW THAT ROE IS OVERTURNED. THEY'RE TRYING TO SAY THAT ROE WAS NOT THE END. IT WAS THE BOTTOM LINE AND THE MINIMUM OF WHAT THEY'RE ASKING FOR. >>> CONGRESSMAN GEORGE SANTOS IS OPEN DENYING CLAIMS THAT HE PERFORMED DRY PERFORMS IN BRAZIL.
THAT IS AS HE STILL UNDER INTENSE SCRUTINY. THE ISSUE IS HE EXPRESSED SOME ANTI-LGBTQ VIEWS. >> ONE SECOND. WE'RE WORKING ON JULIE'S AUDIO. >> Reporter: SORRY FOR THAT. EVERY DAY WE HAVE NEW ALLEGATIONS OF GEORGE SANTOS. YOU MENTIONED A BIG ONE THAT WE HEARD ABOUT THIS WEEK, PERHAPS THE MOST OFFENSIVE. BUT HE'S RESPONDED TO IT. THOUGHT CAUGHT ME EYE BECAUSE HE IGNORED ALL THE ALLEGATIONS AGAINST HIM FROM CAMPAIGN FINANCE ALLEGATIONS AND LYING TO EVERYTHING IN HIS PAST. HE CHOSE TO ADDRESS THIS ONE A TWEET YESTERDAY, SAYING, THE MOST RECENT OBSESSION FROM THE MEDIA CLAIMING THAT I'M A DRAG QUEEN OR PERFORMED AS A DRAG QUEEN IS CATEGORIALLY FALSE. THEY MAKE OUTRAGEOUS CLAIMS. MY COLLEAGUE SPOKE TO TWO PEOPLE FROM BRAZIL, ONE FROM A DRAG PERFORMER THAT SHARED THE VIDEO ON THE SCREEN THAT HE KNEW GEORGE SANTOS WHEN THEY WERE IN BRAZIL WAS TRYING TO BE A PERFORMER, BUT HE DIDN'T HAVE WHAT IT TAKES.
THAT IS ACTUALLY SOMEONE THAT MY COLLEAGUE SPOKE TO AS WELL. HE REAFFIRMED THAT IS IN FACT, SANTOS IN BRAZIL IN HIS FIRST PRIDE MARCH AND TRYING TO PERFORM IN DRAG. YOU MENTION HOW THIS TIES INTO HIS ANTI-LGBTQ LEGISLATION. HE ALIGNED HIMSELF WITH THE DON'T SAY GOOD BILL IN FLORIDA. SAYING AS A PROUD GAY MAN, HE DOESN'T BELIEVE STUDENTS SHOULD BE TAUGHT SEX OR SEXUAL ORIENTATION IN SCHOOL. HE'S DEFINITELY ALIGNING HIMSELF WITH THE FAR RIGHT. HE'S PUSHING BACK THAT HE TOOK FUND FROM A VETERAN'S DYING DOG. WHAT MORE DO WE KNOW ABOUT THESE CLAIMS AND HOW HE'S RESPONDED? >> Reporter: THIS IS A STUNNING ALLEGATION.
AND THIS IS ONE THAT IS TRAGIC THIS VETERAN IS FROM NEW JERSEY. HE SAID THAT IN 2016, HE WAS LIVING ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WITH HIS DOG THAT WAS HELPING HIM GET AROUND. YOU SEE A PICTURE OF IT N ON YOUR SCREEN. THE DOG DEVELOPED A LIFE THREATENING TUMOR. AND HE TURNED TO A PET SHELTER AND HE TURNED TO HIM FOR HELP. SANTOS HELPED HIM RAISE MONEY. BUT HE, UNFORTUNATELY, SWINDLED HIM OUT OF $3,000. SANTOS RESPONDED TO THAT ALLEGATION SAYING THAT THE REPORT THAT I WOULD LET A DOG DIE IS SHOCKING. MY WORK WITH ANIMAL ADVOCACY, I RECEIVED PICTURES OF DOGS THAT I HELPED RESCUE OVER THE YEARS. I ASKED WHY THE DRAG COMMENT IS THE ONE THAT HE CHOSE TO RESPOND TO FIRST. AND WHY THEY'RE CHOOSING TO RESPOND TO EVERYTHING IN DRIPS AND DRABS.
AS YOU CAN SEE, HE CONTINUES TO DENY THE ALLEGATIONS. BUT MORE AND MORE ARE COMING OUT AGAINST HIM. >>> PRESIDENT BIDEN IS BACK IN WASHINGTON AFTER SURVEYING THE DAMAGE CAUSED BY THE SEVERE STORMS IN CALIFORNIA. IT CAUSE DEVASTATION. HE WARNED THAT CLIMATE CHANGE COULD CAUSE MORE EXTREME WEATHER. LET'S START WITH THIS TRIP TO CALIFORNIA WHAT KIND OF SUPPORT HE PLEDGING? >> Reporter: PRESIDENT BIDEN TOURED THE DEVASTATION CAUSED BY THE SERIES OF DEVASTATING STORMS IN CALIFORNIA. HE WENT TO A SMALL TOWN. IT HEAVILY RELIES ON TOURISM. HE WAS WITH THE ADMINISTRATOR AND THE GOVERNOR. PRESIDENT BIDEN MADE IT CLEAR THAT HE BELIEVES CLIMATE CHANGE IS TO BLAME FOR THE SEVERITY OF THE STORMS AND PLEDGED TO GIVE HIS FULL SUPPORT TO BE ABLE TO REBUILD AFTER THE STORMS. TAKE A LISTEN TO WHAT HE HAD TO SAY. THE PEOPLE IN CALIFORNIA, I STAY AGAIN, THE COUNTRY IS HERE FOR YOU AND WITH YOU.
WE'RE NOT LEAVING TILL THINGS ARE BUILT BACK. WE WILL RECOVER FROM THE STORM. WE'LL BE WITH YOU EVERY STEP OF THE WAY. I MEAN THAT SINCERELY, EVERY STEP. >> Reporter: THE PRESIDENT APPROVED A DISASTER DECLARATION TO HELP REBUILD. HOURS OF BEFORE HIS VISIT TO CALIFORNIA, HE UPPED THE NUMBER THAT HE WAS GIVING IN FEDERAL AID NOT ONLY AFTER THE STORMS BUT TO EQUIP THE INFRASTRUCTURE IN CALIFORNIA. >> WHAT DID HE HAVE TO SAY ABOUT THE CLASSIFIED DOCUMENTS AT HIS DELAWARE HOME AND OFFICE? >> Reporter: THIS GAMES AFTER DAYS OF THE PRESIDENT AND THE WHITE HOUSE IGNORING QUESTIONS IN THE WAKE OF THE DISCOVERY OF THESE CLASSIFIED DOCUMENTS. THE PRESIDENT TAKING ONE QUESTION ABOUT THIS CONCERNING HIS TRIP TO CALIFORNIA, DOWNPLAYING THE OUTCRY AND BACKLASH IN THE WAKE OF THIS DISCOVERY. HE SAID THERE IS NO THERE, THERE. HE SAID THAT HIS ADMINISTRATION AND LAWYERS ABOUT EVERYTHING RIGHT TO REPORTING THIS TO THE DOJ. >> WE'RE FULLY COOPERATING AND GETTING THIS RESOLVED QUICKLY. I THINK YOU'LL FIND THERE IS NOTHING THERE. I HAVE NO REGRETS. I'M FOLLOWING WHAT THE LAWYERS TOLD ME WHAT THEY WANT ME TO DO.
THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT WE'RE DOING. >> Reporter: THE PRESIDENT FINALLY COMMENTING ON THIS. BUT THERE ARE STILL MAJOR LOOMING QUESTIONS THAT REPORTER HAVE BEEN TRYING TO ASK THE WHITE HOUSE ABOUT THIS, LIKE WHAT LEVEL OF CLASSIFICATION ARE AND WHY THE WHITE HOUSE WAITED SO LONG TO ACKNOWLEDGE THEM. >> WE'RE HALFWAY POINT OF THE PRESIDENT BIDEN PRESIDENCY. HOW WILL WE REFLECT ON THIS? WHEN CAN WE EXPECT AN OFFICIAL ANNOUNCEMENT FOR A 2024 RUN? >> Reporter: WE EXPECT PRESIDENT BIDEN TO DELIVER REMARKED MARIA TODAY TO TALK ABOUT HIS LEGISLATIVE ACCOMPLISHMENTS AND THE PROMISES THAT HE DID FOR THE FIRST TWO YEARS AND THE ONES THAT HE PLANS TO ACHIEVE IN THE LAST TWO.
HE'LL PROBABLY TALK ABOUT WHAT HE AIMS TO DO IN THE NEXT TWO YEARS ON REPRODUCTIVE RIGHTS AND LOAN FORGIVENESS. THERE WAS SOME TALK IF HE WOULD OR WOULD NOT RUN BETWEEN 2024 BEFORE THE STATE OF THE UNION ON FEBRUARY 7th. AND THEN CAME THE DISCOVERY OF THE CLASSIFIED DOCUMENTS. AND NOW THEY'RE SAME THAT THE TIMING OF HIS USE ANNOUNCEMENT IS IN FLUX. BUT THEY SAY IT DEFINITELY WILL NOT BE COMING BEFORE THE STATE OF THE UNION. >> THANK YOU VERY MUCH. >>> STATES IN THE NORTHEAST AND NEW ENGLAND ARE STILL FEELING THE IMPACTS OF OUR CROSS COUNTRY STORM THIS MORNING AS THE TERRIBLE WEATHER FARM STORMED ACROSS THE UNITED STATES.
IT CAUSED A PILEUPS. A TORNADO WENT THROUGH ARKANSAS LEAVING THOUSANDS WITHOUT POWER ON WEDNESDAY. THEY PREDICT FOUR EIGHT INCHES OF SNOW IN VERMONT AND MAINE. AND THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE EXPECT COLD TEMPERATURES AND GUSTY WINDS AND SNOW ACROSS NEW ENGLAND. >>> TO GET MORE ON YOUR WEATHER, MICHELLE GROSSMAN JOINS US WITH THE LATEST. IT DOES NOT SOUND LIKE A GREAT WEEKEND FOR SOME. >> Reporter: WE'RE TRACKING THE LINGERING ELECTEDS OF THE COUNTRY STORM TODAY AND THEN WE HAVE ANOTHER STORM ON ITS HEELS. SO WE'RE STILL SEEING SNOW FALLING IN PORTIONS OF THE NORTHEAST AND THE INTERIOR PARTS OF THE NORTHEAST, MOSTLY NEW ENGLAND. YOU SEE THE SPIN ON THE RADAR. THE BLUE IS WHERE THE SNOW IS FALLING.
WE'RE SEEING A MIX. THAT IS THE PINKS AND THE PURPLES. THIS IS GOING TO BE THE LAST OF THE STORMS. WE'LL SEE IMPROVING CONDITIONS THROUGHOUT THIS EVENING. WE HAVE WINTER ALERTS. 8MILLION PEOPLE BY ADVISORIES OR WARNING. THAT IS IN THE PINK. THAT MUCH IS PORTLAND AND MANCHESTER. YOU ARE THE WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY. SO THIS IS WHAT WE EXPECT FOR THE REST OF TODAY. WE'LL SEE THE AREA OF LOW PRESSURE FINALLY LIFTING OUT OF HERE. AND WE'LL SAY GOOD-BYE TO THIS CROSS-COUNTRY STORM. AND REALLY GUSTY WINDS AND COLDER TEMPERATURES AND STILL MILD IN SOME PARTS OF THE MID- ATLANTIC. WE'LL SEE THE WIND GUSTING UP TO 35 MILES AN HOUR. LOOK AT TODAY, ANOTHER STORM SYSTEM. THE CLOUDS WILL GO OVER THE GULF OF MEXICO. TOMORROW YOU SEE THE OUTBREAK OF RAIN, HEAVY AT TIMES, THE BRIGHTER COLORS ALONG THE GULF COAST AND INTO PORTIONS OF FLORIDA P AND SUNDAY WILL BE A MISERABLE DAY FOR US ALONG THE WEST COAST WITH HEAVY RAIN AND SNOW ON THE INTERIOR PORTIONS IN THE NORTHEAST.

HEAD TO APPLE POD COST NOW TO SUBSCRIBE. >>> NATURE TOE DEFENSE LEADERS ARE MEETING IN GERMANY TO DISCUSS FUTURE WEAPON SUPPLIES TO UKRAINE AS THE WAR IN WAR WITH RUSSIA IS IT NOW APPROACHING ONE YEAR. WE GO TO KYIV. WHERE DO WE STAND ON THIS IDEA AND TANKS TO UKRAINE. WHY HAVE GERMANY AND THE U.S. BEEN RELUCTANT? >> Reporter: GERMANY TAKES A TANK CALLED THE LEOPARD. IT IS CONSIDERED THE TOP OF THE LINE VEHICLE.
IT IS USED BY A NUMBER OF ALLEY ACROSS EUROPE. SOME ARE EAGER TO SEND IT TO THE UKRAINIANS. THAT IS NOT A STEP THAT THE GERMANS ARE PREPARED TO ALLOW AT THE MOMENT. GERMANY HAS TO GIVE PERMISSION BEFORE THEY CAN DO THAT THE LEADER OF THE GERMANY AND IT IS UNDER PRESSURE FROM THE LEFT WING OF HIS PARTY NOT TO ESCALATE THIS SITUATION ANY FURTHER AND TWO, GERMANY IS MUCH MORE. THE U.S. WILL NOT SEND THE A1 ABRAM TANK BECAUSE IT REQUIRES SPECIALIZE MAINTENANCE AND IT IS A GAS GUSLER. IT CAN GO THROUGH A GALLON OF GASOLINE IN ONE MINUTE. THEY STAY NOT PRACTICAL FOR THE UKRAINIANS TO HAVE A TANK LIKE THAT. THE ALLIES NEED TO ACTED NOW BEFORE RUSSIA LAUNCHES WHAT UKRAINE FEELS WILL BE A RENEW OFFENSIVE IN THE COMING WEEKS. I WANT YOU TO TAKE A LISTEN TO WHAT THE SECRETARY LLOYD AUSTIN HAD TO SAY ABOUT THIS. THIS IS A CRUCIAL MOMENT.
RUSSIA IS REGROUPING, RECRUITING AND TRYING TO WIN. THIS IS NOT A MOMENT TO SLOW DOWN. IT IS A TIME TO DIG DEEPER. THE UKRAINIAN PEOPLE ARE WATCHING US.

HE OWNS A GALLERY ON THE STREET WHERE IT HAPPENED ISSUING THIS EXPLANATION THROUGH AN INTERCOM INSIDE OF HIS BUSINESS. >> THE WHOLE NEIGHBORHOOD IS A PART OF THIS SITUATION. THE POLICE FORCE IS A PART OF THE SITUATION. THE CITY AND SPECIAL SERVICES ARE PART OF SITUATION. THEY TAKE HER TO A SHELTER AND TURN HER LOSE IN TWO DAYS. >> IT IS INHUMANE. >> Reporter: THE OWNER SAID THAT THEY CONDEMNED THE BEHAVIOR THAT THEY'VE TRIED TO HELP THE WOMAN AND CALLED ON THE CITY TO DO MORE ABOUT THE ISSUE OF HOMELESSNESS. >> IT IS OUT OF CONTROL IN THE CITY.

>> EVEN AT THAT TIME, LAW ENFORCEMENT AND OTHERS USED WATER HOSES TO STOP PROTESTERS EMERGENCY ROOM ROOMS VISITS. IT IS THE TRIPLE FLEW AND RSV AND COVID, THE NUMBERS ARE FALLING NATIONWIDE. >> THAT IS GOOD NEWS. WE ARE JOINED BY DR. JOHN TORRES. THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR BEING WITH US HERE. TALK TO US ABOUT WHERE WE ARE RIGHT NOW. A LOT OF HEALTH EXPERTS THOUGHT THAT WE WOULD WE SURGE. >> WE HAD A MINI SURGE AFTER THE HOLIDAY. IT WASN'T AS MANY OF WHAT WE THOUGHT HAPPENED. THAT IS BECAUSE OF WHAT HAPPENED IN EARLY ON IN SEPTEMBER, OCTOBER, NOVEMBER AND DECEMBER.
IT HAPPENED EARLY ON AND AS HARD AS IT DID, THINGS ARE STARTING TO DECLINE NOW. AS WE KNOW, THINGS CAN CHANGE QUICKLY. >> SPECIFICALLY THE DECLINE AND THE HOSPITAL VISITS. EXPLAIN WHAT THAT MEANS IN THE DANGER AND WHAT PEOPLE SHOULD KEEP IN MIND. >> Reporter: A COUPLE OF THINGS, RSV, WE'RE KIND OF THROUGH RSV. IT LOOKS LIKE IT IS COMING DOWN. TRADITIONALLY, ONCE IT COMES DOWN, IT NORMALLY DOES NOT COME BACK UP. BUT THE FLU, THAT GETS PEOPLE IN THE HOSPITAL, PARTICULARLY THE ELDERLY AND CHILDREN. THE FLU, TYPE B HAS NOT HIT YET.

BUT IT DOES NOT SEEM TO PUT PEOPLE IN THE HOSPITAL OR HURT QUITE AS MONTH.
