legacy so he can walk out of 1600 pennsylvania avenue by saying this, is what i did. i stand by it. i can look myself in the mirror by saying that this is something i think is very important, not only for the country, but also for my legacy. >> and i agree with robert. i think on the latter point, this is obama's attempt to try to recreate and redefine his legacy. he in the last stages of this administration at a time when the world is fairly uncertain. >> but don't you think he teed up on an opportunity here, coming out even with his own tweet, saying, great move on delay. i always new he was very smart. >> you're talking about trump vis-a-vis putin. i think it could be said about obama, handed putin an extraordinary touchdown. i mean, putin is a master at judo. that's one of his practices. and in judo, you take the energy from the opponent and you turn it against them. and so by putin not responding to the expulsion of their diplomats by sending out ours, i think he's masterfully manipulated the news media as well as public opinion in a way i don't think the obama people expected. >

president-elect. >> do you think he could have won in michigan, pennsylvania and wisconsin? >> i think he could have. he saved the automobile industry. he helped create almost close to a million jobs. the message is there and he is a campaigner in chief when he is it there a i believe he would have made the point, i believe so. >> jennifer, i will pull you in here because i'm sure you have a different perspective whether you think president obama could have won a third term, if he were able to. >> i tend to agree this was a change election. i also think it was an almost cruel thing to say. hillary clinton ran the best campaign she could have and she did win the popular vote. it was an unnecessary statement by the president. i would say, i think two of the most lasting contributions that he made, which will not be affected by donald trump, first, the economic recovery begun by george bush, both t.a.r.p. and the beginnings of the saving of the auto industry were we gun. to his credit, president obama stuck with that. growth is not what we want and equality is not what we want and h

and pennsylvania and upstate new york. what is happening at the moment, light lake-effect snow, coming into michigan, syracuse, watertown, not as bad as it could be. looking at this fast moving clipper system over the great lakes, it will bring just a little bit of additional light snow. so i know that's not what you want to hear, but we are getting a littleit of it. unfortately we have stormy weather to talk about. look what is happening in baton rouge, in new orleans, the rain really coming through jackson, mississippi, central alabama. this will cause problems with flooding. we have a flash flood watch in effect starting tonight, straight through monday for much of the region. as well as the threat for thunderstorms. this is on new year's day. tomorrow, we could see damaging winds with large hail, all the way from texas. all the way to louisiana. just be careful out there, that's what we're looking at in terms of the threat for severe weather. the heavier downpours, where theed the flooding may occur, looks stormy for the start of the year. on a positive note, new year's ee eve, tim

ihes of snow. substantial snow in massachusetts, pennsylvania, and new york. right now, we're getting lake-effect snow coming into toronto and buffalo. little bit towards syracuse and watertown. these will be light accumulations, it is a fast moving clipper system coming through and that's why they're called a clip, they clip on through quickly. light accumulations, maybe an inch at most, maybe two. we're watching for rain unfortunately, if you're traveling this busy weekend, for new year's, wet weather from houston to new orleans, all the way to mobile, alabama, flash flood watches in place starting tonight, going straight through new year's day, a dangeus situation because we could see 2 to 5 inches of rain accumulate along the coast, so areas that are low lying, that tend to flood, we may have flash flooding. we'll be watching that very closely. how about times square, saw the excitement already early this hour. when the ball drops, the weather looks great. mostly cloudy, a cool breeze at 41. i've seen a lot worse for new year's eve, temperatures are much colder. i think 41 is pret

an answer on that. joining me now, republican from pennsylvania in response to these sanctions imposed by president obama. now you have donald trump and he just said in the last move on delay. what's your reaction to the president-elect. the bottom line is i think we should step this up, we should be sending anxious tank weapons to the government in ukraine. that will certainly get the russians's attention. they would respect that kind of power. we should expose the wealth of vladimir putin and olegarks. they would like to be aware of how wealthy they have become. the obama administration has taken a step and we should do more and president-elect trump should take a lesser approach to vladimir putin. he is in the opposite direction of what you described. saying great move by putin and saying hey, folks have just got to move beyond this talk about the election involvement by the russians. wouldn't it be great if he had a better relationship? that's the track he is going on. they want to unravel the union and the power and influence. they have their interest and we have ours. pre

the full scope of these actions. joining us now from pennsylvania, brendan boyle, i want to hear what he had so say and for our viewers, what does this all mean. where do you put this sanction grade, was it a plus or everything else needs to be done? >> i would give it an a and this is the beginning of a process of responding. i am heartened of the fact and of the response of mccain and lyndsey graham and a number of us in a bipartisan bases recognize that this is an attack and not republicans or democrats but as americs. lets face it, this is essentially the 21st century equivalent of water gate. one is getting dirt in order to embarrass the democratic party. this was a virtual break in and they succeeded and getting information that damaged the democratic candidate. >> congress, let me push you, this was allegedly criminal conduct, it was certainly bad. when you compare to water gate, the difference there is, the criminal conduct was by the candidate in question of the american in candidate. this is distinct and this is a foreign actor because you are not alleging that the cand

pennsylvania on up to vermont and maine in as much as two feet of snow in some parts. tens of thousands are without power in maine right now. that nasty nor'easter also bringing an icy mix and dangerous winds as well. people in maine, new hampshire, and vermont all being told by officials to stay off those treacherous roads. >>> meanwhile, police here in new york city as well as cities around the world and they've all ramped up security for new year's eve celebration, the stepped up efforts are in response to terror attacks in berlin. and in nice this past summer. nbc's stephanie gosk is live where millions usher in the new year and watch the ball drop. how was the nypd increasing security this year, steph? >> reporter: well, you mentioned berlin and nice and if you look behind me right now, you'll see that the security barricades going in, craig, but they'll take very important steps over the next 24 hours in response to those vehicle attacks in berlin and nice, learning lessons from those attacks. deadly attacks. and that includes blockading these streets off, not just with barricades and

talking new york, pennsylvania, vermont and maine, bringing with it a mix of ice and dangerous winds. morgan joins us live from concord, new hampshire. a winter wonderland there, but it seems to have let up at least for now. >> reporter: that's right, take a look at this. this is how much snow we had in concord, already seeing 9, 10 inches here. that's as millions of people are waking up under this winter weather advisory. really trying to recoup in parts of new england after the northeaster slammed this region. parts of new hampshire saw up to 17 inches. parts of maine saw up to 25 inches. still more than 100,000 people there waking up with no power. one of the interesting things i heard from a lot of people in this region. look, this is actually the wintry mix we're needing this year. some parts of the state here in new hampshire in the ski resource especially, they took a pretty big hit last winter. they saw only up to 4 inches of snow. this year in december alone, they got up to 17 inches and overnight with that foot and a half, this is really kind of helping the people, especial

manufacturing jobs to the states that won in the election. pennsylvania, ohio, wisconsin, michigan, he told voters in those states that he was going to bring back the jobs. and that's kind of what george will's getting at, there. >> yeah, and it is a delusion. but, you know, he's doing his best to paper over it with the symbolic measures. so the carrier instance, for instance. he's not saving every job at carrier. half of the jobs are still probably going to be exported and a lot of those jobs will end up in automation, anyway. but we do remember that intervention, because it was so dramatic, he went to the plant, and he took credit for saving the company. or saving that factory, i should say. so, you know, trump, he does have an uncanny ability to be a showman, and that might get him through this. i don't think -- but he's not going to be able to reverse historical trends. let's be honest about this. the exportation of jobs was happening well before barack obama or even nafta, this is a multi-decade-long process here. so of one hand, he has these sky-high expectations that george will

into erie, pennsylvania. this lake effect snow event is one of a couple we're going to be seeing this week. let's talk about maine right now. your winter storm warning continues. so we're still watching out for dangerous conditions. travel not advised for northern vermont and northern new hampshire and snow totals are still coming in. we've already seen 20 inches in some parts of maine, just mind boggling. early snow and then the lake effect snow comes in and those bands will be intense, so we could see several inches plus as it comes through. then by tomorrow the new clip is coming in over the great lakes and that will bring light snowfall accumulation, but on top of what we're already seeing. over the west, rain for california, los angeles getting wet, san diego, and arizona, plenty of moisture for phoenix and tucson. we'll watch for that and mountain snow at the higher elevations. what you can expect, not too much in l.a., quarter inch, but further inland, half inch of rain. keep in mind we're looking at more heavy amounts around arizona, especially northeast of phoenix. speaking o

or private companies over serious hacks going back to 2013. he faces a indictment in pennsylvania, 14 counts there, and he was stealing money for electronic fund transfers and taking them from numerous victims' bank accounts. these are two individuals that are well known to federal law enforcement. they've been on the fbi's most wanted list and they're two people named for their role in the election hacks. bogachev is believed to be in russia. we have no extradition agreement with russia, so it would be tough to get him back in the best of circumstances let alone the circumstances we're now in with our relationship with russia. so this is going to be difficult for either of these two individuals to be brought back to the u.s. to face charges that they've already been charged or indicted with, and obviously now they're implicated in a major hack involvement in the u.s. election. >> i think you're right. good luck getting them back if they are in russia. >>> time now for a quick check of the headlines at the half hour. recapping our top story, the obama administration imposing sanctions

. he was indicted of the case out in the western district of pennsylvania in 2014, 14 counts. he was tied to a fishing scheme and obviously, we are not talking about fishing that you would do at the lake. were talking about fishing you would do with e-mails. this person was identified as one of the hackers that was involved of what we see with the election and john podesta and whether he was tied to podesta's hack, we don't know and we don't have that information at this point. it is not worthy to show that it was that scheme he was indicted for 2014. in addition, hefrs char was chaa case of omaha, nebraska of a criminal complaint involving a scheme to defraud according to the documents and a scheme to defraud 12 u.s. banks. so this person has been on the fbi's radar. >> for quite sometime. >> that activity went back to 2009. this individual we know for certain that he was named today obviously and he's on law enforcement radar for some sometime and more computer type crimes and that type of thing. this is somebody that knows what he's doing and been doing it for some time. we believ

russian officials responsible for this hack and leak operation. >> ron allen at 1600 pennsylvania for us, thank you. let's turn to west palm beach, florida. that's where we find hallie jackson who is covering the trump transition team. hallie, what is the the president-elect saying about these sanctions against russia? >> reporter: he was directly asked about it, craig, during a brief q and a sessions in south florida last night and his response, essentially, was get over it. listen. >> i think we ought to get on with our lives. i think the computers have complicated or lives greatly. the age of computer has made it where nobody knows exactly what's going on. we have speed, we have a lot of other things but not sure you have the kind of security you need. >> reporter: so not a direct answer there from l president-elect trump but the obama administration is working quickly to try to get these sanctions in place now so they're not able to be rolled back when donald trump takes office on january 20th. as you know, he is a very different relationship with vladimir putin and russia than the c

everyone know that's possible. we're already getting snow across parts of pennsylvania. let's look at where the advisories are right now. we can see we've got quite a few winter storm warnings. a lot of this will go into effect throughout the morning. let's look at the pattern of this storm. rain will develop along the front in the south. low pressure developing across the mid-atlantic, eventually moving to the east, bringing heavy rain for long island into connecticut and then snow will be coming in heavy and hard as we go through much of the afternoon and evening hours, particularly into interior new england. and the wind are actually going to pick up as well. low pressure is going to deepen and strengthen. when that happens, the winds will really crank up. so we're expecting the strong winds to come in as well. heavy snow right through here into new hampshire and maine. that's where some of the heaviest accumulation will be. by friday, that low is pushing well up further up to the north into canada, but as it moves to the northeast, we're looking at the wind coming in from the n

margins were in wisconsin, pennsylvania, michigan, that jim comey was the deciding factor. >> they do. they will also say that, okay, we could have done a thousand things differently. we could make one tweet here. put bernie sanders on the ticket. spend two more days in wisconsin or two days at all in wisconsin. >> i'm not saying they're right. this is what they believe. >> you are right. they deeply kind of have internalized this and there is very much a sense of we're talking about how the president feels about this. the clinton campaign very much believed that donald trump's election would be apocalyptic for the country, the democratic party, and there was from the very beginning when it became clear that he was going to be the nominee, a sense that they better not mess it up. if they did, consequences were going to be much different than if, say, they were running against jeb bush. the reality is mistakes were made and they lost. there's been a lot of grappling with what role the campaign may have played in that. i'm not sure. they seem to have settled on comey as the reason. i

highlighted case of a pennsylvania family that lost their home because of a relative dealing drugs. and "the wall street journal" has come out against what they call policing for profit and say sessions needs to reverse his old position. >>> yes, the president-elect is in florida, but security remains super tight in trump tower in new york city, where a suspicious package on tuesday sent tourists scrambling. the nypdomb squad had to be calledn after someone spotted an tended bag in the skyscraper's lobby, which is open to the public. it turned out to be a bag of children's toys. the incoming white house secretary tweeted, back to work here at trump tower after a false alarm. thanks, nypd. then a spokesman for mayor bill de blasio responded, "no problem. we'll send you the bill." well, that prompted donald trump's newly named white house social media director to label philip's quote an embarrassment. philips played off the remarks as not very nice while trying to continue the conversation about the price tag for security. city hall has been openly grumbling about the cost of protect

pennsylvania. hillary clinton playing barack obama wasn't going to win. >> very quickly, i want to talk about this poll. there's a new poll out from pew research that shows that president obama will end his presidency really on a high note. 45% of people surveyed say he will be remembered as an outstanding or above-average president. you think those numbers, howard, are going to help the democratic party going forward at all? >> yeah, i think they will. i think the biggest help to the democrats going forward is trump is going to be unbelievably erratic and scare the hell out of a lot of people who voted for him. and they already are. if a lot of those folks in kentucky and west virginia lose their health insurance, which is absolutely going to happen, because those are the two states that are most dependent on obamacare, there's going to be hell to pay for the republican party. if they go and try to privatize medicare, there's going to be hell to pay for the republican party. and there are going to be some smart republicans who aren't going to want to take that risk. but there's going t

. when i went on the campaign trail and talked to people in rural pennsylvania or ohio, thank not just talking about the economies and bringing jobs back, but a lot about tpp and feeling as though the trust of president obama was eroded because of that alliance. that was definitely something to go back to the point that you made about the idea that he was talking about demonizing people different from us, he was in some ways talking directly to donald trump. a lot of people and not the people who voted for him, but his campaign was about demonizing people who are different. muslims or people of different nationalities or cultures. president obama there is hoping that his words might i some ways hope and motivate donald trump. >> this was a historic set of remarks and a moment not just because it was the president speaking with the prime minister of japan, but because this was one of the last times they could see this president speaking publicly. likely his last private meeting with a foreign leader before he leaves power on january 20th. what struck you as we witnessed this unique day

relatable. >> when i look at the struggles hillary clinton had in pennsylvania and michigan and wisconsin where democrats usually win and they usually vote democratic and they went for trump this year, was that a problem with hillary clinton as the messenger? >> i don't think you can pin it on one person. we need to do a better job of talking about the values that pull us together. we allowed whole kgs of values. take freedom, for example. we allowed libertarians to own the conversation about freedom. we have to be taking about fairness. in a twisted way, donald trump is exactly right when he said there was unfairness. obviously not in the ways he was talking about. who can look at an election in a jerry mandered district? we can't be the party saying no, the system is just fine. we have to be the party saying we know there is a lot of issues in the system and here's why our ideas are better. unless we talk about the individual conditionedidates, the less they are talking about yourself. the more we are talking about the people that are hired to serve. the more likely we are to

in arizona, in georgia, in nebraska, not enough money in michigan, in pennsylvania. that's the opposite of playing it safe. hillary clinton was playing to win, a very aggressive 45-state campaign, 40-state campaign. i think the president was being a little unfair to her. he did note her historically troubled relationship with the press, which was there. but i don't think she played it safe. i think she ran into a unique political environment where americans -- remember the movie from 1994, the robert redford movie, americans went into their sound booths and heard what they wanted to hear and didn't hear the other side and trump had more people in his booth. >> he didn't have more people. he just didn't have -- we didn't have the people -- >> you're right, you're right. >> in milwaukee. he did not have more people. i want to articulate that. >> more people in the right states. >> exactly. >> i want to play something. this is something that the future white house press secretary and communications director as well, at least right now, sean spicer said. this is what he said in a l

presidents have walked in the crowd on the trip down pennsylvania avenue, so maybe that's what he'll be doing. a few days ago, trump said he instructed his attorney to begin the process of closing the trump foundation, quote, to avoid even the appearance of any conflict with my role as president. but they cannot shut down until the ag's probe into improper donations is finished. last night trump tweeted, i gave millions of dollars to the donald j. trump foundation, raised or received millions more, all of which is given to charity, and media won't report. continuing, the trump foundation like, unlike many foundations, never paid fees, rent, salaries, or any expenses. 100% of the money goes to wonderful charities. but "the washington post's" david fahrenthold has been following all of this now for a year or more and reported that the trump foundation's largest-ever gift, about $265,000, was used to renovate a fountain outside the windows of trump's plaza hotel. fahrenthold also reported that according to tax records, the last time trump wrote a check to his own foundation was in 2008. si

pennsylvania at this time. but overall these showers will be pushing out so you are going to see improvements in the the forecast, which is really good news. we'll start to see some major improvements going forward. let's talk about what's next. lake-effect snow behind the system. the rain moving out later this morning. the lake-effect snow we're forecasting should be light. we're looking at maybe a dusting to 1 inch, possibly 2 inches in spots. overall this isn't going to be a major lake-effect snow event. i'm sure we'll have many in the winter to come. looking at the precipitation across much of the northwest, the showers are continuing for asset, through portland, and into medford. it's really the snow that's a big newsmaker. we're looking at rain amounts that will be heavy at times. be careful out there if you're driving because in idaho we're expecting downpours. check out the snowfall totals that are coming in for the higher elevations. some of us will get over 2 feet. in the cascades, mt. ranier, and further east looking at substantial snow into montana and into idaho from

this is a different part of the country, upstate new york into central pennsylvania and well into northern new england, we could see snow tonight developing and watch out icy area. the snow is piling on heavy and hard all the way through wednesday, parts of the cascades could see two or three feet of snow at the higher elevation. a wintry week ahead. some locations, area to the south, we have warm conditions and temperatures have been unseasonably mild and we see record breaking numbers. look for more records to be shattered with unseasonably warm temperatures throughout the south and definitely not feeling so much like late december, that'll change as we go into january. >> bonnie, all of that is good for skiing and sleighing and not so good for traveling. thank you very much, bonnie schneider. >> republicans opposed president obama nearly every term will democrats play the same play book for president-elect trump. we'll discuss, coming up next. ♪ glad forceflex. extra strong to avoid rips and tears. be happy, it's glad. >>> i am confident in this vision because i am confident

northeast and into pennsylvania and great lakes, look at this. we're watching out for freezing rain on top of all the snow in the plains. freezing rain for harrisburg, scranton, syracuse, western mass. then if you start heading into the mountains of vermont up towards maine, light snow. be careful if you're driving tonight. even just a little trace of ice can make a difference. wet weather in the northwest. gusty winds and a lot of snow. this is going to be big, big snow for the cascades. some areas will actually see up to 3 feet. some pockets here you can see. i guess that's great news for skiers. for those traveling this could be a problem. be careful, snow will be heavy. this is a vigorous storm we'll be talking about straight through wednesday. craig. >> all right. bonnie schneider at the weather map friday. bonnie, thank you. millions hitting not just roads and airports not necessarily to shop. this time they are returning. that's a big bust for retailers. last year americans returned more than $260 billion in merchandise. nbc's morgan radford outside of walmart in new jersey. she

nasty weather. the rain coming in to pennsylvania, parts of upstate new york, we could see that change over to ice at times, so be careful driving. the winds will also pick up in this area. it's going to be a little treacherous for traveler. another spot that will be troublesome will be the pacific northwest. another system coming in from the pacific will bring rain and snow. very gusty winds, especially in bellingham, the winds to gust high, maybe up to 50 miles per hour later on today and tonight, and for the cascadcascades, thid be 2 to 3 feet of fresh snow. the blizzard we were speaking about to the north, the tail end of the front, will trigger the storms through the south and even heavy downpours like in memphis later on today. if you're driving through the midsouth, were rr likely to encounter those. along with the front, watch for gusty wind and rain all the way towards atlanta and into the carolinas. with the jet stream all the way to the north, it has been so mild. i know last christmas we were talking about how warm it was. this one as well, we saw records shattered i

with the american people. you look and saw pennsylvania, wisconsin, michigan, states that hadn't gone red since 1980s. i think one of the things that people have to remember is that donald trump is speaking to something that most people haven't gotten. he understands the frustration and anger and concerns that many americans haven't been able to voice in decades. >> let's talk about the tweet yesterday. obviously causing a lot of concern in the foreign policy community about nuclear weapons. there seemed to be a bit of a clarification that came out later on that you're not talking about expanding the nuclear arsenal. donald trump was talking about that but modernizing the nuclear arsenal. >> there's another piece of this. other countries need to understand this president will act if they expand their nuclear capabilities. there's a few countries around the globe, russia being one of them, china, others that have talked about increasing their nuclear capabilities. the president-elect's point is unless these guys come to their senses and recognize that this is not a smart move increasin
