the company suffered a series of missteps since the boeing 737 max airplane was grounded. it was suspended production of the max, a blow to the company and its suppliers. now, one of my sources telling me, the board was concerned about the feedback it was getting from customers and regulators about poor communications from muilenburg himself. the bottom line, the board says it boils down to a lack of confidence in muellerburg's leadership. the board asked him to step down. some people on the board were concerned about removing the ceo in the middle of trying to fix the problem with the 737 max. but ultimately, the board was on

the right track with regulators and now was a good time to make that change. big picture here -- boeing is one of the largest exporters and one of the largest manufacturers. it's an important part of the u.s. economy. and some analysts estimate a production halt that lasts through the first quarter can knock a half a percentage point off of gdp. the company is hopeful to get the 737 flying again in 2020. joe? alison? the security and exchanged commission is investigating bmw. a source familiar with the probe, reports how the s.e.c. says the automaker reports its sales in the u.s. bmw may have boosted its vehicles by having dealers register cars that had not been sold to customers yet. bmw is the not the first automaker to have its sales look into by the s.e.c.

the probability of a white christmas over the last 40 years or so, decent in the north, not so much in the south. this year, dreaming of a white christmas. well, that may be as close as you can get. meteorologist pedram javaheri has your yuletide forecast. >> you look at where the snow is on the ground, you have to be in the higher elevation or the northern tier of the country. that's about it. we've had christmas eves and christmas days when plenty of snowfall has shifted farther towards the south. but that won't be the case this go around. high pressure begins to build here. a low moving system on the coastline. we'll see a warming trend and a drying trend, as this departs off of the carolinas.

they all count the same if you win. rest up this week. a chance to play for something even bigger. and make people come to green bay. >> the packers could get home field advantage in the playoffs with a win next week and the seahawks win over the niners. the vikings are locked in the sixth seed in the nfc. the seahawks dipping into their past to help with the backfield. the team is signing marshawn lynch yesterday. the 33-year-old spent part of six seasons with the seahawks and was a big part of their two super bowl teams. lynch did not play at all this season, after spending the last two years as a raider. in the nba, the pacers beat the raptors. this is a half-court shot to win free chick-fil-a for a year. he nails it. his reaction is as priceless, hugging his brother there.

year's time, more or less. the building is still fragile, because of the scaffolding that is on the walls. >> reporter: that means this year, for the first time since the aftermath of the french revolution, there will be no christmas mass at notre dame. allison, the truth is, that it will take many more years before the faithful can hope to get back inside on days like today. the french president promised on the evening of the fire, he hoped to have it rebuilt in five years. given the delicacy and the work involved, it's looking unlikely that timetable will be met. >> we'll have to get used to notre dame being surrounded by scaffolding for the near future. melissa bell, thanks.

what does that mean? does that mean she'll import more impeachment managers if there's witnesses or less if they are or what? >> it's tough to know what the math is. this is the leverage she has right now. and she and mcconnell are well-matched opponents. they can be stubborn and counting the votes they have. whether mitch mcconnell has 51 votes in the senate to back him up and the white house's lawyers up. and it's better that witnesses aren't going through that again. sticking through the discovery that the house did. >> how does it play out? >> we don't know because there are new pieces coming forward. he's potentially a new thing coming up. he agrees to keep lawyers out of this. she can't hold on to the

articles forever and defend the impeachment she did. they are using the two weeks to get back and find the leverage basically, through new evidence that comes forward, by the pressure that puts on through republican senators and hope that shifts the pendulum in their favor. what the democrats define is fair. >> we see them trying to get democrat from don mcgahn and trying to impeach president trump a second time. what do you see is the upside to impeach him again during an election year. >> the upside would be to break the log jam on the former administration officials that have refused to testify because the white house told them not to. if he's forced to come forward, he will testify for john bolton. but impeachment is supposed to be the worst of the worst. do you ask the list of articles?

they decided no. maybe they felt they weren't there yet. once you're impeached to come back and say, let's impeach again, that much closer to november elections. it's a little bit, why don't you do that in the first place? and it's a harder argument to defend. when even in the first go around, you couldn't take the impeachment past 50% and make them stick. >> there's been a rudy giuliani eruption for lack of a better word. he knows love and igor. >> he's from miami. regular florida guys. another thing he said is, he made some references to george soros and him being jewish or not jewish enough. what do you make of the continued statements by this

person? not to have to remind the viewers but this is the personal attorney for the president of the united states. >> he is. and he keeps putting things on the fire. why did he go back to ukraine when the president was in the middle of scrutiny and do what he was being accused of? rudy giuliani marches to the beat of his own drum. do you play it safe? do you stop scrutiny or putting on a show and don't care because you think that you're unimpeachab unimpeachable. you can get away with anything and rudy giuliani is an example of that. he spokes in ways that don't necessarily ring that plausible for what he's doing in ways in a aren't offensive to other

people, as well. it shows he can act with impu impuni impunity. and the president seems to think that's working. i don't know where it stops, unless rudy giuliani causes a problem for the president. here, he has the senate dpgop behind him. >> in an effort to appeal to his base, we're seeing the president use climate in this election, going off on a rant over the weekend, about windmills. >> i never understood. i know windmills very much. i studied better than everybody. tremendous fumes, gases, are spewing into the atmosphere. you know we have a world, right? the world is tiny compared to the universe. a tremendous amount of fumes and everything.

you talk about the carbon footpri footprint. fumes are spewing. >> most of what he said there are not true. he's gone on on several issues. what's the strategy here? to appeal to his base and the nostalgia, versus the radical change that democrats are going for. >> right. democrats are going for the green new deal and saying that both corporations should change the way they act and behave in this regard, too. i think the president likes s ashoeing that. >> do you think it will work? >> i think when it comes to my grandmother's generation. but a lot of people who think about the president scratch their head about this one. there's people that are climate

change deniers. but people are in an agreement there's a problem there. and the economic incentives, too. things like that that the president fights against. this is a part of the rhetoric that appeals to a slight subset of his base. and that tries to tune out because the economy is going well or other things are going well that they appreciate about the presidency. >> ooh. >> i can't wait to see what else he pulls out of his hat. thanks for your time today. >> thank you. great to be here with you. ceo dennis muilenburg is leaving boeing after struggling to right the company in the wake of two, deadly crashes. the 737 max accidents killed 346 people. they revealed a culture that discounted safety concerns and treated regulators like rubber stamps. muilenburg had been there for 30 years. he had within praised for
