Elizabeth moss broke through a decade ago as peggy olson on mad men. Now shes cleaning up the best actress awards for her leading role in the besttalked about drama the handmaids tale. You try to make an entertaining television show, you know. And sometimes thats all it is. But when you can do something that you also feel passionately about and also hits upon things that feel very personal to you, its that much more gratifying. A sunday sitdown with Elizabeth Moss. Plus, smith a bit later in the show. Lets begin this morning with a major winter storm bearing down on nearly 60 Million People from Washington State all the way across to maine and just in time for christmas. If youre traveling today or tomorrow, be prepared for big delays on the roads and in the skies. Dave price from wnbc here in new york is in for dylan this morning. What can we expect out there . A White Christmas comes at a cost. For everyone who waited to travel, now were going to pay that price, through the cass aids, and liolympic mountain rae and heavy snow rolling through the midwest and toward the northeast and new england right now. Lets put everything in motion and talk about it. This low pressure system is going to be the big problem as we head through the day and into tomorrow. Look what were expecting, as we head into the rest of the afternoon and into Christmas Eve itself. Snow is going to impact travel from the midwest all the way to the northeast while rain is going to move off the coastline. Youre going to want to watch it in chicago, at ohare, detroit, cleveland, rochester, even into jfk, were going to wind up seeing residual delays today, back through cincinnati. Then as we head into Christmas Day itself, heavy snow for new england in some areas of New Hampshire and maine, we could get upwards of a foot. Youre going to want to watch it on the roadways. 95, 90, 87. All these roads will be impacted with slippery conditions and places like erie and buffalo, lakeeffect snow as well. The rest of the country, the midsection will be pretty actually, frigidly cold temperatures and again the southwest looks good. Thats a look at your travel weather. Willie, well send it back to you. Maybe even more of a white winter than some people want to see. A federal judge partially lifted a Trump Administration ban on certain groups of refugees, ordering the government to process those refugees applications. And the Trump Administration pushing back strongly against an inflammatory New York Times report, claiming the president made extremely derogatory statements about immigrants behind closed doors. White house correspondent Kelly Odonnell is near the president s maralago estate in west palm beach. Good morning, kelly. Reporter good morning, willie. The president s opinions on immigration have been controversial and, at times, inflammatory. He is frustrated that his Campaign Promises have, so far, been blocked on immigration. But the white house says certain word as described to the president were not said. At the core is immigration. As a candidate and again this month, the president pushed for major changes to order security and migration law. We dont know who they are, where they come from. His frustration resonates with new reporting from the New York Times. That back in june a meeting turned heated. The New York Times described the president as using provocative and disparaging language, cited by only two of several unnamed sources. Who claimed that the haitians granted entry all have aids and that nigerians would not want to return to huts. Senior staff in the meeting deny these outrageous claims, saying the times chose to print the lies of Anonymous Sources anyway. But the president had a different target in mind. Its a shame what happened with the fbi. Reporter the president seemed excited by a highlevel move inside the bureau, tweeting saturday, wow, fbi lawyer james baker reassigned. And zeroed in on deputy fbi director andrew mccabe. I strongly believe that the russia investigation is adequately resourced. Reporter the president mocked mccabes future plans, racing the clock to retirebenef. Reporter and the Justice Department says james baker was moved out of the general counsels office of the fbi as part of a Senior Leadership change. Also says that mccabe has not announced his plans to refire but associates expect that he will do so come march. Weve seen how the president and some of his allies have been attacking the fbi broadly and individually as a part of their mission, if you will, to under cut the bureau as it works on the russia investigation. Willie . Kelly odonnell getting us started down in florida this morning. Merry christmas to you, kelly. Thanks so much. Kristenwelker is an nbc News White House correspondent also. And she joins me here in new york on set. Great to see you. Great to see you. Merry christmas. Merry christmas. The president retweeting something from fox news going after Deputy Director andrew mccabe. This comes after a long line of criticisms saying the fbi is tainted, he said its in tatters, questioning the leadership. Whats he laying the groundwork for here . Bottom line, we have seen his criticism amp up against the fbi in recent weeks. Its really an attempt, as kelly said, to try to undercut, i think, the special counsel. Weve seen it from the president. Weve seen it from his allies. Nothing gets under his skin more than the russia probe. He feels like it not only calls his election into question, but he also feels like its looming over his entire agenda so were starting to see him punch back with more force. Willie, thats a function of the fact that the special counsel investigation has gotten closer to his inner circle. Michael flynn, for example, is a great example of that. And i have been told definitively by his attorneys, he has no plans to fire special counsel robert mueller. I think this is his attempt to try to discredit him. I think were going to continue to see this into the new year if this probe does, in fact, get closer to the oval office. And he no plans to fire james comey, but he got to that point. Thats right. Lets talk about the big news in washington. The president on friday did get to sign the tax bill. Yes, he did. That he so desperately wanted to get through before the end of the year. The case that will be made to the white house is we got tax reform, we put gorsuch on the supreme court, we rolled back regulation. Within that tacks tax bill, we took care of the obama care individual mandate. The dow is up. Unemployment is down. Do they think they have a pretty good case to make after year one . They do. The president is ending this year on a high note. We saw him take a huge victory lap at the white house this past week after tax reform was passed. He was flanked by Republican Leaders from the house, from the senate. They were praising him. Willie, this comes after they were openly feuding after their failure to repeal and replace obamacare. So politically, they feel emboldened. The question, moving forward, is this going to be a longterm or shortterm victory . Democrats are calling this a tax cut for the wealthy. They point out that tax cuts for corporations are permanent and tax cuts for individuals are not, they will expire after eight years. The polls say the tax cut is unpopular. Now the hard work of selling it to the American People begins. The president said he he doesnt think hell have to sell it because in february people will see more money in their pockets. Well have to see how that shakes out. President trump turns the corner into 2018 feeling pretty good about himself right now. Whats the next big agenda on his item right now . Whats the next thing he wants to get done . Its so interesting because the white house has been talking about all of these different agenda items, everything from infrastructure reform, welfare reform, d. R. E. A. M. Ers, immigration. They want to see the wall go up, willie. On friday before the president left for maralago, he tweeted about infrastructure reform and talked about it in the oval office. I think thats a real sign thats where hes going to start the year. The democrats do want to get infrastructure reform done. They have huge differences over how to pay for it. I think the question is, are the democrats going to want to hand him a political victory heading into the midterms . I think its unlikely. A lot of people think if he started with infrastructure reform right now before health care, he would be on very different footing than starting with health care. He will do infrastructure, likely welfare and immigration. See if he can parlay the momentum into the beginning of the year and into next year. Kristen, thank you so much. Thank you. Kristen will stick around for the highs and lows of the week. Indeed. Be sure to tune in with chuck todd on meet the press. Some other headlines this morning, the department of Homeland Security is calling friday nights shooting spree in harrisburg, pennsylvania, a terror attack. Officials say 51yearold ahmed amin al lofti fired on several officers throughout the city before they fatally shot him. He was in the United States from egypt on a familybased immigration visa. The los angeles bomb squad was called in after some people sent a suspicious bomb package to the home of steve mnuchin. Officials say the nextdoor neighbor found the package and called 911. The package was wrapped in christmas paper and said it came from the American People. Sources now tell nbc news the package contained horse manure. Its unclear if secretary mnuchin was home at the time. And some big changes at the Miss America Organization after a week of scandal there. Ceo sam haskell resigned along with two other Top Organization officials saturday. Emails allegedly written by haskell, mocking and degrading contestants, were unveiled this week. A former contestant, the subject of one of those emails, is speaking out. Your new miss america is Miss North Dakota reporter in what is far from a crowning moment, the top leadership of the Miss America Organization stepping down just one day after dozens of former miss americas called for their ouster. Ceo sam haskell, president josh randall and chairman lynn widener all resigning, after Sweeping Change seems to show malignment of past winners. In leaked emails obtained by huffington post, haskell and the shows lead writer seemed to deride contestants over their weight, sex lives. Former miss america whose weight is criticized in the leaked emails. We really need everyone else who was involved and complicit to go as well. Kate shindle and Gretchen Carlson say they need to have a thorough cleaning of the board. Randall has apologized in a lapse in judgment saying he feels terrible. In a statement before his resignation haskell called the story unkind and untrue. Saturday the interim chairman of the board thanked haskell and widener for many years of tireless work and significant financial support. One of the main recipients of fundraising from the Miss America Organization, the childrens miracle network, is now considering cutting ties. The beauty pageant under an ugly cloud. I absolutely think that miss america will and can recover from this scandal. Those empowered, educated women just came together and created change. Reporter kristen dahlgren, nbc news, new york.

In the spirit of christmas, were doing all highs. Lets do it. The vigilant 5yearold in byron, mississippi, who alerted police to the plot that would have disrupted christmas. He grew concerned that the grinch would try to steal his christmas so he did the only responsible thing, he called 911. This is the byron Police Department. We have a 911 hang up from this number. I just want to tell you something. Watch for the grinch because the grinch is going to steal christmas, okay . My dads got to talk to you. This is 911 . 911. Its definitely been the most interesting thing that happened to me. An officer responded to the call in person. What are you going to do if he comes to steal your christmas . Come into my house and take him to jail. We can take him to jail if he tries to steal your christmas. The responding officer convinced him he would be safe. They set up an elaborate arrest of the grinch. He got to take the grinch from the back of a cruiser and lock him up for a minute. Once he believed the grinch had been rehabilitated the green grump was released on his own recognizance. In addition to being the best high ever, he now wants to be a police officer. Exactly. He was inspired by that rogue 911 call. I love that the Police Department rallied around him. Yeah. They did a good job. The student teacher danceoff at the Leadership Charter School in the bronx, new york. This is 13yearold amir wilson and his teacher billy cohen in an auditorium full of students. Lets go.

Coming up this morning on today in the bay, apple facing serious backlash. Hear from the teen who revealed it. That and the top stories and weather coming up at 11 00. Now, back to sunday today with willie geist. Elizabeth moss. The series is set in modern times where religious totalitarian government has seized control and women have been subjugated into a form of slavery. In september the handmades tale won outstanding series and lead actress for moss. In two weeks the show and moss very well may win the Golden Globes in those categories as well. Elizabeth and i got together for a sunday sitdown at t. J. Clarks here in new york city. Please, thats my daughter. No Elizabeth Moss is attracted to a certain kind of role. Anna i do look for characters that have something to overcome or a challenge or some sort of dramatic mark. If it was a character Walking Around having a great day for six hours, its boring. Boring is not a word anyone will apply to the dark world of the handmades tale. Since its premiere the series has become a cultural phenomenon. What do you think it is that caught fire . The show has an incredible relevance obviously. I never think of any one thing that makes the project good. Its the writing, the sets, the directors, the props, costumes. The handmades tale was a water cooler hit and a favorite with critics. The show cleaned up at this years emmys. Thank you so much for supporting our show. Some viewers and critics see a glimmer of modern reality in the shows themes. Did you see that right away or is that something thats happened after the fact in terms of some connection to the current climate . A bit of both. You know, i think we saw the parallels early and then obviously when the election happened it became really in your face. Since then has there been a lot of moments when we have felt you read an article and youre like, jesus, thats from the show. Its amazing how its become this cultural touch stone in such a short period of time. This show has prompted rights rights. Moss grew up in a Los Angeles Home with music. Her parents were professional musicians but she dreamed of being a ballet dancer. At the age of 12 moss moved to new york to study at the Lincoln Center school of ballet. This is my old haunt. The ballerina life is one of intense commitment, especially if you want to take it to this level. Oh, yes. Youve got to live and breathe it. Its something that you have to want 1,000 . Do you always feel like im going to be a performer of some kind . Yeah. For sure. For sure. It would have been weird to do anything different. My family would have been, why . What are you doing . Thats a lot of work. What happened to you . Yeah. No, they would have supported me regardless, im sure. Yeah, i grew up in a very artistic kind of household so it was always going to be Something Like that. You werent listening to like the pop music that most of us were listening to, i understand . Thats true. Little gershwin. Totally. When i was 12 like gershwin was everything to me. I was such a nerd in that way. While she was dancing moss also tried out acting and landed a role with bette midler in the movie gypsy. Be a full time actress. She was chosen for the role of the president s daughter on the long running hit series the west wing. Dad im starting college in a month. The west wing taught me what a set is supposed to be like. It was so professional, funny. Everything is always on a sense of humor. Who are you . Im peggy olsen, the new girl. Good morning, girls. But it was her next role that would make her a household name. She auditioned to play a secretary in the show called madmen. She never dreamed she would get the job. Everybody wanted to audition for it. Everybody wanted to be in it. I just remember doing the audition and loving that character right away. Just right away. My secretary doesnt respect me because i make 71 a week more than she does. Maybe we need to get you a cheaper secretary. Over seven seasons peggy olsen became a fan favorite as she blazed a path from secretary, copy girl to ad executive. There may be chaos, but theres family suppers at burger chef. Thats beautiful. I always wanted to approach it not as a girl in the 60s but i wanted women to identify with her regardless of what decade it was. You have become something of a feminist hero to a lot of people due to the characters youve played but also in your personal life, in real life. Is that a responsibility to you . I mean, because of the handmades tale and peggy do you feel that . Yeah, i think it is a responsibility but i dont mind it. I dont think its a bad thing. I feel very privileged. I would be a feminist regardless, so the fact that anyone cares and wants to hear what i have to say is very flattering. Moss is open about her career, but she keeps her personal life personal. She was married briefly to former sform j former saturday night live star fred armistan. Her faith has been a curiosity. She was a member of the scientology. She was raised in the controversial religion whose celebrity adherence has been the focus of criticism. Do you feel you have to explain your faith to people or is that something you would rather put to the side and keep private . Im always happy to have a personal conversation with somebody off the record, but but in this kind of scenario, no. Do you ever feel like youve been judged in hollywood . Obviously your career is going well, it hasnt hurt you much. Yeah, i feel like ive done okay. I feel like its all right. You dont feel that in hollywood . I mean, i honestly dont pay much attention to anything except what people think of my work. That work also happens now behind the camera. Elizabeth is a handson executive producer of the handmades tale. Every actor who has tried directing and producing says, i cant go back now. Now i had control and say. Yeah, yeah. Do you feel that way . Definitely. Definitely. Theyve created a monster. Weve got to get you in a romcom to take a deep breath. I know. Thats what i like to watch. Is that true . I love romcoms. Those are my favorite movies. You just dont like to be in them. Nobody wants me to be in them. Ive not said no. Its not like sandra bullocks called and i said no. No ones i would love to. Are you kidding . Lets get you in a romcom. Yeah, that would be awesome the handmades tale is available on hulu. The Second Season premiers in april.

When you slip on your warm christmas sweater tomorrow morning, you might take a peek at where it was made. One american Clothing Company is trying to compete with the big boys by making wool apparel in its backyard with the help of a productive flock of sheep. Harry smith takes us to beautiful montana for our sunday spotlight. Reporter there is a part of montana that has a name, but its not exactly on anyones beaten path. Its called the beaver head Deer Lodge National forest, and if you are a sheep and its summertime, this is your happy place. How happy are the sheep . Oh, theyre very happy. This is exactly what they would love to do. Its actually funny. When were down in the lower elevations, if you leave them alone theyll start coming up here on their own. Reporter really . Yeah, they love it. Green grass, mountain flowers and thats perfect for sheep. They love it. Reporter evan hellies family has run sheep in montana for 100 years or so. What does it feel to be doing the same kind of work that your fathers done, your fathers father, his father. Feels great. Carrying on the tradition is really important. What they saw back then is exactly what were seeing now. Were taking care of the land, and thats our job. Reporter the sheep graze on public land but are constantly moved to ensure against over grazing. We were mez msmerized and deligd by the dogs. Watching dogs work sheep across a meadow is a sight to behold. The border collies keep the sheep in order and the big dogs keep predators away. They help protect the sheep gets coyotes, wolves, bears. If they see one theyll bark at it and it turns around. Its a very symbiotic way to go about it. Reporter montana was once home to millions of heads of sheep. Now its down to a couple hundred thousand. The world clothing business went overseas but they see that as an opportunity. Their company, duckworth, raises the sheep, sheers the wool, looms it and shoews it. What we say is sheep to shelf. We always sold our wool into the commodities market. Once it goes into that market you never know where it goes and you dont see the finished product. Its been a dream of ours to see that finished product that we actually grew on our ranch. Reporter but buyer beware, their apparel isnt cheap. How much is that shirt . This is 65. Reporter 65. For most people in america thinking about buying a 65 tshirt is a decision or no decision.
