Horizontal. That powerful message from oprah winfr winfrey. This morning the big question in politics, is there a political run in her future. Groerood morning. If you were asleep during the Golden Globes well get you caught up. This is about me too. Wearing black as you are this morning. Im dave briggs. We have reporters in the the white house. A water main break at jfk airport, peace talks and college game at atlanta. The president himself forced to defend his mental state. The release of a book full of n unflattering anecdotes sparking an uncomfortable interview. Many anecdotes coming from steve bannon. Senior policy adviser Stephen Miller slashed him as vindictive. One of the other traj des of this grotesque work of fiction is the portrayal of the president. The reality is the president is a political genius. All these socalled geniuses in washington the only one thats called himself a genius in the past which happens for a true statement. Im sure hes watching and happy you said that. Can you be condescending im not the president s tweets reaffirm the plain spoken truth. Here are the tweets that imil you are was talking about. He slammed democrats for taking out the bold Ronald Reagan play book. Being like really smart. Capped off a list of his achievements saying i think that would qualify as not smart but genius and a very stable genius at that. And trump went before the cameras to defend his mental state again. I went to the best colleges, or college. I went to a i had a situation where i was a very excellent student, came out and made billions of dollars, became one of the top business people. With dont television and for ten years was a tremendous success, as you probably have heard. Ran for president one time and won. And its worth noting that a private citizen trump questioned president obama as sanity for allowing planes to fly from the u. S. Some saying it is not right to be questioning the commander in chiefs intelligence or sanity. Its not seemly. The president himself has done that to a sitting commander in chief. Steve bannon, the man behind the most damming ontherecord accusations in that book now refuting some. He said he regrets no the responding sooner to comment the attributed to him. Comment the scathingly critical of donald trump jr. Cnn has not confirmed after of the claims in the book. There is no question that bannon quotes drove a deeper wedge between the president and the man he now calls sloppy steve. More from boris sanchez. Reporter its now been days since we got the excerpts that were questioning the president s mental state and relationship with some of his closest advisors including steve bannon, who, on sunday, for the first time, directly addressed some of the quotations that are attributed to him in that book. Saying some of the reporting in that book is inrack rat and specifically taking exception to a portion where hes quoted as saying that june, 2016 meeting at trump tower was treasoness and unpatriotic. Bannon says quote my comments were aimed at Paul Manafort. He should have known theyre duplicitous, cunning and not our friends. To reiterate those comments were not aimed at don jr. , though we should point out according to a trail of emails it was donald trump jr. Who not only brokered the meeting but then looped in Paul Manafort and Donald Trumps soninl soninlaw. The president has been making phone calls to allies and friends to tell them they either stand with him or with steve bannon. When you consider all of that, certainly seems with the statement steve bannon is feeling his influence waning and trying to salvage what he can of his political career. Another very busy weekend for boris at the white house. Thank you. Awards largely took a back seat at the global awards. This was the first major awards show since hollywood really began addressing the epidemic in the fall. Oprah winfrey accepted the award with a message to young girls watching at home. I value the press more than ever before as we try to navigate these complicated times, which brings me to this. What i know for sure is that speaking your truth is the most powerful tool we all have. And im especially proud and inspired by all the women who have felt Strong Enough and em powered enough to speak up and share their personal stories. For too long women have not been heard or believed if they dared to speak their truth to the power of those men. But their time is up. So i want all the girls watching here now to know that a new day is on the horizontal. And when that new day finally dawns, it will be because of a lot of magnificent women, many of who are right here in this room tonight, and some pretty phenomenal men fighting hard to make sure that they become the leaders who take us to the time when nobody ever has to say me too again. Well done. A lot of people this morning wondering if oprahs speech to be the start of a political run.

First officials here were dealing with the aftermath of thursdays wicked Winter Weather that led to a cascading series of issues and yesterday an actual cascade of water that filled a portion of terminal 4 here, all caused by that pipe that burst sunday afternoon. It prompted the shutdown of International Flights coming in to terminal 4. Some flights having to be rerouted. Domest domestic flights continued as planned. Main focus trying to get to the bottom of what caused this pipe to burst. After thursdays wicked weather, they have been dealing with everything from froze enequipment, baggage handling complication, even a shortage in staffing as well. Theyre hoping today with potentially warmer temperatures will become another opportunity to get operations here at one of the most busiest airports back to normal. That was something. The whether set to warm up this weaning. Meteorologist pedram javaheri. My pipes froze. Whats funny is a lot of people think its at freezing process. Its the thawing process that leads to problems because you have the water runthrough and it doesnt that you uniformly. Parts get clogged up and pressure builds there. We were watching this because big time cold air. Almost 40 records set on sunday alon alone. One of the low spots 5 degrees out of jfk, breaking the record of 6 which was exactly a year ago. The next front thats beginning to push through going to be a problematic one, put this together, talking over 80 million americans generally across part the of the midwest, ohio valley and parts of the south even under a Winter Weather advisory. You can see that in the pink and freezing rain and snow just to the north of there. You put this together, i think cleveland, columbus, cincinnati, this is the best bet for any sort of ice accumulation, less than a quart inch. Theres snowfall amounts to get in the white indicative of two or four inches. A few spot could see lake enhanced snow showers. But it is all with this over the next couple days. We see this begin to relief a little bit. See the temperatures go up to say friday and saturday. Then sunday into monday another blast of cold air. Definitely not a break here. All right.

I wonder what she has to say about it. Well see perhaps on cbs. It is 31 minutes past the hour. Its begin with top aides and President Trump himself defending his mental state. The release of a book sparking an uncomfortable interview and a series of bizarre tweets. Many anecdotes coming from steve bannon. On cnns state of the union, Stephen Miller smashed ban non as an angry person and the book as poorly written garbage. One of the other tragedies of this grotesque work of fiction is its portrayal of the president. The reality is the president is a political genius. The all these so called political geniuses in washington, whether it about the big lobbying firms or the only person whos called himself a genius in the last week is the president. Which happens to be a true statement. A self im sure hes watching and happy you said that. Jake, you can be condescending. Im not being a lot of im get to go the issue. The president s tweets absolutely reaffirm the plain spoken truth. Wow. Hear the tweets miller was talking about on saturday morning. He slammed democrats for quote taking out the old Ronald Reagan play book. He touted his own quote mental stability in being like really smart. Capped off a list of his achievements saying i think that would qualify as not smart but genius in a very stable genius at that. Then trump went before the cameras to defend his mental state again. I went to the best colleges college. I went to a i had a situation where i was a very excellent student. Came out and made billions of dollar, went to television and for ten years was a tremendous success as you probably have heard. Ran for president one time and won. Its worth noting as a private citizen he questioned president obamas sanity. For example in 2014 for allowing planes to fly to the u. S. From countries affected by the ebola outbreak. There have been those who have said tz just unseemly to question the fitness, the Mental Fitness of an acting sitting commander in chief, and hashtag, theres a tweet for that. Steve bannon the man behind the most damning on the record accusations in the wolff book now refuting some of them. Bannon said he regrets not responding sooner to comments scathingly critical of donald trump jr. Theres no question the bannon quotes drove a deeper wedge between the president and the man he now calls sloppy steve, a source saying es an calling say they must choose between him and bon non. Meanwhile the Golden Globes largely took the back seat. It focused more on he empowering women and addressing sexual harassment. This was the first major awards show since hollywood really began addressing the epidemic. Some of the most powell words from oprah winfrey. I value the press more than ever before. As we try to navigate these complicated times, which brings me to this. What i know for sure is that speaking your truth is the most powerful tool we all have. And im especially proud and inspired by all the women who have felt Strong Enough and em poured enough to speak up and share their personal stories. For too long women have not been heard or believed if they cared to speak their truth to the power of those men. But their time is up. So i want all the girls watching here now to know that a new day is on the horizontal. And when that new day finally dawns, it will be because of a lot of magnificent women, many of whom are right here in this room tonight, and some pretty phenomenal men fighting hard to make sure that they become the leaders who take us to the time when nobody ever has to say me too again. Lot of people this morning wondering if oprahs speech there could be a start of a political run. Obviously a very friendly awed yuns b yens.

The first asian to win the best actor. A whole new world. These arent all network broadcasts. Just shows you some say its a golden age of toelevision right now because theres so many places making amazing content. If youre a female director do you like what she said or do you want it to be nominated because your work stands for itself. Shes talking about the exintereextra hurdles for women. Sure. Shes well known in her skepticism about fairness in hollywood and shes not new to this discussion. Just your thoughts.

Heres what congressman adam schiff said sunday about the fbis probe of corruption allegations. You dont have to be genius to see this and you dont have to be a sin nick to see this. The Justice Department is taking action as a direct result of this lobbying campaign by the white house, and i think i would be derelict as the republicans are if i wasnt calling this out and sounding the alarm. And official tells cnn the fbi and federal prosecutors are looking into whether Foundation Donors were improperly promise the policy favors or special access to Hillary Clinton while she was secretary of state and whether tax exempt funds were misused.
