Beautiful shot of New York City.

6 a.m. here in the East Coast. Good morning and welcome to a special holiday edition of Morning

with us. And of course, we thank all of

Also ahead, we'll go through the strong opposition from Republican senators to the sprawling

domestic package that House Republicans passed last week.

Plus, we'll bring you highlights from an incredible comeback last night in Indiana

as the New York Knicks suddenly have new life in the Eastern Conference finals.

With us, we have the host of way too early, Allie Vitale.

he goes on to criticize Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky, while blaming him, Zelensky, Putin,

and President Joe Biden for the war. Earlier in the day on the tarmac in New Jersey,

outside his golf club there in Bedminster, President Trump spoke about the situation to reporters.
