Retired general john kelly up first and mary bruce on capitol hill for all of it. Reporter good morning, george. This is a big moment for the new administration and the start of these marathon confirmations, ten hearings over just three days with eight nominees. First up as you mentioned senator Jeff Sessions for attorney general. You can expect his record on immigration and civil rights to take center stage. 31 years ago before the same Panel Sessions was rejected for a federal judgeship over concerns he made racist remarks charges he has passionately denied and now sessions will have his fellow senators testifying on his behalf. But in an unprecedented move, democratic lawmakers will be testifying against him. Senator cory booker says he has to speak out because sessions comments are a call to conscience but despite democrats concerns they dont have the power to block any of trumps nominees and the president elect is confident they will all be confirmed. Theyre going great. Confirmations are going great. Theres some concern about Jeff Sessions in particular. I tnk high quality man. Thank you. Reporter also today for the first time fbi director james comey will be here on the hill answering questions for the First Time Since that bombshell announcement about his investigation into clintons emails right before the election. Comey will be testifying before lawmakers about russian intelligence activities just four days after he briefed the president elect on russias interference in the u. S. Election. George. He will get a lot of tough questions. Thanks very much. Lets go over to robin. Donald trump also announcing a big role for his soninlaw naming his daughter ivankas husband as a senior white house adviser. Abcs cecilia vega is here with the details and never a dull moment. No, and i think its going to go this way for probably four more years so, look, this news is coming on Jared Kushners 36th birthday. This was a close confidant for donald trump. Behind the scenes in the campaign and now hes going in as the Senior Adviser to the president there in the west wing. He wont be taking a salary when in there. White house has turned into a family affair. Jfk, of course, we know appointed his brother as attorney general. We remember Hillary Clinton on those health care panels, she was there during her husbands administration. This time ethics experts are split on whether this kushner appointment might be violating federal antinepotism laws. There are also questions about potential conflicts of interest. He runs his familys part of his familys real estate empire. Hell be stepping down from that and hes also the owner of the new york observer, he will be stepping down from that as well and also were told be divesting substantial assets but, you know, democrats are calling on at least some of them the doj to investigate his new role in the white house. They will take a look but we have seen something similar like this before so not surprising in that regard and its pretty much been very firm about she does not want a role with the white house, ivanka. A lot thought she would go into the white house given her role as a confidante for her father. Sources are telling us point she will not immediately have a formal role in the white house. That hes instead going to be concentrating on settling her family into d. C. , they have that big move coming up. And big inauguration coming up and donald trump feeling it could very well be a record setter. But he went so far as to say dresses are sold out there. Some are saying youre being sworn in and youre talking about the stock of inaugural ball gowns. What are you doing . I know you were curious. We called around. A lot of dress stores, there is no shortage of ball gowns in the Nations Capital so, ladies, youre good to go. Thank you for that. George. Okay, lets talk to jon karl and Martha Raddatz. Jon karl with me and lets begin with this Jared Kushner, the appointment of Jared Kushner. Going to be in the white house. Not taking the salary. What youve got now, though, are four very powerful people around donald trump with equivalent roles, Jared Kushner, you have kellyanne conway, steve ban none as chief strategist, Reince Priebus as chief of staff. You have a team of rivals basically right outside the oval office Reince Priebus is the chief of staff but steven ban none is the chief strategist a role we havent seen before and Jared Kushner is more powerful than all of those and also the one he cant fire so, but, look, this will be an interesting thing because their views are different. I mean priebus is an establishment republican, chairman of the party. Stephen bannon led the rebellion against the Party Leaders and if you look at Jared Kushners background he was known as a new york city liberal democrat. Except it appears he struck an alliance with bannon during the campaign. He did. This will test that alliance. To Martha Raddatz right now. You have hearings beginning today, martha. The attorney general but the big ones begin on National Security, general james mattis. Rex tillerson, theead of exxonmobil, former head of exxonmobil and lets talk about that first. He had good meetings with senators but will face real questions not only about russia but what subsidiaries dealings with iran. Reporter thats exactly right, george. I think thats where the questions will be toughest. He was considered a good friend of vladimir putin, rex tillerson, of course, he was in the role of ceo of exxon and i think thats the kind of case he will try to make. It was a very different deal there when he was a businessman. Now americas chief diplomat he will be and dealings with iran, as well. There were sanctions in place at the time again i think hell make the case that he was a businessman then. Meanwhile, general james mattis defense secretary, kelly homeland security, Michael Flynn as National Security adviser who is outranked by the two generals in the cabinet. Reporter this is all very unusual, george but picking generals gives you instant creditability and the American People hold them in high regard despite some of his rhetoric. He said last month, i like generals. I think theyre terrific. They go through schools and sort of end up at the top of the pyramid and pass the test of life. That is true. They have enormous experience and now how to lead and the price of war and have in one way or another stared down the enemy, what will be interesting to watch is how the interaction with the President Trump will play out. Meantime, jon, more pressure building in the congress in the senate to delay this repeal of obamacare. This is the big thing for the republican congress. This was to be an agenda item number one, repeal obamacare and spend much of the rest of the year trying to figure out how to replace it. Now you have five republican senators signing on to a measure that would say, lets push this vote off for about another month or so until we can figure out what we want to replace obamacare with. This was not the plan for house republicans. Whats interesting, this seems to be exactly what president elect donald trump wants. He wants to be sure theres we have fullblown repeal. See if he gets his way, thanks very much. Lots of big events coming up. Abc news covers it all and president obamas farewell address at 9 00 eastern and president elect trumps First Press Conference tomorrow. Check out these pictures of the horrible flooding out west and rob marciano is in the middle of it all in san jose, california. Rob, whats going on out there . Hey, michael.

Com and hasnt even rained that much today. Rugged terrain and this sandstone which is brittle stuff plus a foot of rain, its going to come crashing down. In gardena, two women pulled from the surging san gabriel river. And in colorado heavy winds causing dangerous driving conditions. Dust and debris blowing across the highway causing near blackout conditions. Semi truck after semi truck falling over like dominos. Lifting right off the road. These storms are certainly packing a punch with the wind as well but most concerned about the water now we have two more that are rolling in and ginger zee is tracking all that back in studio. Good morning, ginger. Thank you very much for showing us all that. Those storms, the first from the weekend made its way into the midwest and great lakes moving through with Winter Weather but the storm thats coming in this afternoon and evening, for the west coast is the next one were most concerned about, the high sierra and wind gusts up to 60 Miles Per Hour and flood watches up to half a foot of rain on what has fallen so see the Russian River in the heart of Sonoma County could go to 37 1 2 feet.

Special Operations Force conducted a ground raid in syria sergeanting isis leadership and the pentagon is refuting claims from a Human Rights Group that 25 fighters died. A man described as a midlevel killed in the firefight. New details about a chairlift crash at a colorado ski resort. Kelly huber was killed and her two daughters injured when their chair slammed into a support tower throwing them to the ground. Investigators blame a mechanical problem with the electric drive control which caused that ski lift to jolt forward. Police released images of the moment a boy was nearly abducted at a wrestling tournament searching for the man in these pictures. He picked up the 8yearold but then let go when the boy started kicking and screaming. And finally a driver in michigan got a ticket from police without ever leaving his driveway. He was warming up his car, went back into the house for a couple of minutes, he said seven minutes, that ticket now cost him 128.

Even if its freezing. Even if its freezing. They say you can do the remote start but its locked but cannot leave the keys in the car. Didnt we do a story on this a few weeks ago. We did.

No tweets yet from donald trump this morning but there is new fallout from that showdown between him and meryl streep and david wright has all the details. Good morning, david. Reporter good morning, george. Donald trump is clearly still fuping over that speech and meryl streep is in good company. Trump almost seems to be at war with hollywood these days and the question now, will they pay a price . After all theyve made an enemy of the man whos about to be president. When the powerful use their position to bully other, we all lose. Reporter meryl streep took trump to task among other things for mocking a New York Times reporter with a disability. Trump denies he did it but judge for yourself. You got to see this guy. Oh, i dont know what i said. Oh, i dont remb it broke my heart when i saw it and i still cant get it out of my head because it wasnt a movie. It was real life. You have perhaps the most highly regarded actress of her generation making an outright plea to people in hollywood to remain vigilant and to defy. Reporter donald trump may dismiss streep now as one of the most overrated actresses in hollywood, but just two years ago he called her work excellent. Its only prompted her fans to make this hashtag trend. Things trump thinks are overrated. Emmy rossum tweeted, tax, audio recordings, factual information, spelling. Another listed, hamilton, jon stewart, jerry seinfeld, megyn kelly. This week tweeted the best tweet, wow, what a great, smart tweet. Reporter hes called snl unwatchable and yet he cant seem to stop watching. Trump even took to task the new star of his old show, mocking arnolds on apprentice. Schwarzenegger tweeted back i hope youll work for all the American People as aggressively as you worked for your ratings. Trump is almost a member of this elite hollywood club. He once did a song and dance number at the emmy awards. Green acres is the place to be reporter hes done dozens of cameos over the years from fresh prince of belair. Another 50 grand i cut the grass for you every saturday. Reporter to home alone 2 . Down the hall to the left. Reporter even as hes about to take the most powerful job celebs dont seem to be all that intimidated for now. The same may not be true of their bosses. The Hollywood Studios have a lot to lose under a President Trump. I think thats why youre seeing the studio heads quiet on this issue or even coming out and being a little bit more gracious towards the new administration. Reporter plenty of folks s belong at awards shows, that its liberal hollywood doing what they do, but by engaging its trump who risks coming across as petty. In 2015 the Hollywood Reporter asked donald trump his favorite actresses he named Julia Roberts and guess who, meryl streep. Meryl streep. Okay, david wright, thanks very much. Joining us Larry Hackett former editor of People Magazine and abc news political contributor Kristen Soltis anderson. Larry, let me begin with you. Donald trump kind of has a hate love relationship with hollywood. Did seem like this one got to him. It did. First of all, i want to say it was riveting television. The idea people dont want to see this kind of thick, i think thats debatable. I dont think people want to hear speeches thanking their agent and family so i think it was great stuff. I think he derives energy from this, right . He knows the entire nation is watching. He engages in debate now. Now were still talking about it. He derives kind of Political Energy from these kind of things and let me point out, back in june, meryl streep appeared at fundraiser for the Public Theater in new york. Not a lot of people wearing it wearing a fat suit and wig about donald trump. I think that is part of the reason might have remembered that, as well. Kristen soltis anderson, larry is correct. That the president elect gets some energy from all this. Clearly had that energy yesterday when he was tweeting but digs himself somewhat of a hole when he reminds everybody of that moment where he was mocking the New York Times reporter. Of course, he denies it but gives everybody an opportunity to show the tape again. Sure, in Meryl Streeps speech she sort of implies that part of Donald Trumps appeal was when he does things like insults reporters, mocks other people. I dont think thats why most people voted for donald trump. I think in some cases they voted for him in spite of the fact he had done those things. But certainly donald trump was able to survive the whole campaign with those kind of criticisms coming his way so its unlikely that meryl streep in her speech to the folks at the Golden Globes was changing a lot of mights about donald trump. I dont think she was trying to change minds but my question is, is donald trump helping himself when he gets up well, he loves a good conflict. He loves fighting against any sort of elite establishment that he feels he hasnt been sufficiently allowed to be a part of, whether thats the media, whether thats hollywood. He i agree that he derives a lot of energy and that hes never lost, i think, in picking these sorts of fights because it energizes people that like him and puts him on the side of a debate where most americans tend to not pick the big elite, tend to not pick hollywood or the media. If its donald trump and football versus meryl streep and hollywood, i think i know which side is probably going to win that argument. Its interesting, a paradox. I think by making that Streep Meryl Streep was saying lets not normalize his behavior. Trump tweets again and we become inured to the idea he tweets about these things and that normalizes that behavior. Larry hackett and Kristen Soltis anderson, thanks so much. Michael. We have a big board coming up in two Major Medical headlines. Huge debate raging about mammograms and a big, new question about h we have both of the doctors in so you know its a big, big board when we come back in two minutes. Has anyone seen the new intern . We sent him on a coffee run. Alright. Ive got your latte. Large coffee with cream. And your favorite, mocha. Oh, where do you guys get your coffee . You gave me way too much money. Hes good. Make a mccafe run instead. For a limited time get any size coffee, freshly brewed every 30 minutes, for one dollar. Or a delicious small mocha, latte or hot chocolate for two dollars. Wake up and win the day. Fotheres a seriousy boomers virus out there thats been almost forgotten. Its hepatitis c. One in 30 boomers has hep c, yet most dont even know it. Because it can hide in your body for years without symptoms, and its not tested for in routine blood work. The cdc recommends all baby boomers get tested. If you have hep c, it can be cured. The simple blood test. Its the only way to know for sure. [bullfighting music] [burke] billygoat ruffians. Seen it. Covered it. We know a thing or two because weve seen a thing or two. We are farmers. Bumpadum, bumbumbumbum back with a special edition of our big board. Dr. Ashton and dr. Besser are here at the table with us. Book ends. Were ready. Ready to go. Well start with that new study sparking a big mammogram debate. Researchers in denmark found that one in three breast tumors discovered through the exam may be overdiagnosed and that means theyre identified as more lifethreatening than they really are leading to unnecessary treatment. That is what the study is saying. Im getting the side eye right now from jen. Whats your take . I think the headline has been boiled down to early screening doesnt work. No such thing as early screening in Breast Cancer. Its screening. The point is to save lives. It did not look at but started enrollment in 1980 when the technology from it was not what it is today but talks about the concept does every cancer need treatment and that is going to be a hard pill to swallow for doctors and patients to tell a woman, you have cancer, but were not going to treat it because its never going to kill you. Thats the dcis realm which is called that stage zero. You know, when you talk about treating all cancers, you have to talk about the downside of that, as well. What this study found was that by doing screening, they looked at half the country started screaming and half didnt, the Screening Program didnt cut down on the number of women who ended up having aggressive Breast Cancer and the reason that matters is that if a lot of these cancers that are being picked up never would have caused a problem, then you have all of these women who are suffering the side effects of treatment which could be future cancers, which is not a small thing, the side effects of damage of chemotherapy and other things to the body and the goal of up early and make a difference and save lives. If youre not saving lives then you have to say, what are we doing here in putting all of these women through this treatment. Theres so much controversy here and i can feel the passion coming from you two. What needs to be done to fick the screening issues . I think theres a couple of things. First thing we need better Screening Tests. You need a Screening Test that will be able to say to a person we found this lump here. But this one we can tell isnt going to cause any problems and were not there yet then we have to be able to say, okay, who are the right women to screen at what ages . Are there certain things we can tell based on their genetics and family history, you need to screen starting at age 40, you can wait till 50. I agree with most of that. The controversy and what gets me hot under the collar is that media and the medical community alike always boils these studies down to one line, mammograms dont work. Mammograms are bad. Mammograms dont save l a, i disagree with that as a Womans Health specialist. B, until we provide an alternative to bash them is tant mount to a war on women. That is what gets me upset. I remember where there was a debate about selfexams. Hello, thats how i found my lump by selfexam. A mammogram did not detect the tumor. An ultrasound did. Its not one size fits all. No. I dont see this as a war on women. I think what the goal here is to make sure that women arent getting overtreated and i think, you know, men are getting overtreated with for Prostate Cancer and there are a lot of women getting overtreated. We need to do more to make it work for them. With an alternative. We have another medical question for you two even though bring it on. How about this, botox for millennials. Theres a new book out called botox nation saying younger women are aggressively targeted in hopes theyll be lifetime customers of the botox rich, dont you think it should start in the delivery why wait . As a pediatrician. Baby botox. Its a strategy and why go after people who dont even have wrinkles. Its one word, money. It is about money. It is about changing the perception of whats normal and youre talking you know, lets start with women in their 20s so that they wont go on to develop wrinkles. I like my wrinkles. I smile a lot. I get a lot of wrinkles here. I dont want to lose them. When im watching an actor on tv i want to know are they happy or are they sad . Look at the faces and its like, i have no clue. Dont you think we have more pressing problems in medicine than to talk about botox and is someone getting it and are they not getting it . Do people understand botox, thoughy. I think theyre judgmental about it. Look, anything in moderation, i think could be fine. For example, im actually 94 years old but ive had good botox and i think i look remarkably well preserved. I mean, look, i agree with rich. If you cant show facial expression, my kids cant tell im cowing at them, going to be a problem. I think it changes the social norm. If who people are seeing on tv, everyone is botoxed then theres pressure that im not going to do well in the workplace unless i have botox. For a lot of money its 300 bucks out of pocket.

I got to say congratulations to both of you and the rest of your team on an epic win. One second left in the game. You did it in such dramatic fashion so how does it feel for both of you to be National Champions when you came so close last year . Its pretty ridiculous. Im not going to say. I mean just this whole season we went through the adversity, this offense believed in itself and i just want to say i mean we ended it with a fairy tale ending i want to say almost. Its been pretty special. As a kid you dream of playing College Football and then to reach the top of the mountain, so to speak, at that dream, its just unbelievable. Your teammate ben boulware, he gave an incredibly emotional speech after the game. What kind of message do you both want to send out there to the rest of the Clemson Tiger nation. Just to this team this year we set the bar said its for those games that came before us and built the foundation and were just age to capitalize and make the most of it. 35 years since they won a National Championship and it feels good to be National Champions again and just going forward, i mean like i said we set the bar high so future Clemson Tigers can go out and defend the title and hopefully it wont be 35 years before we are back for another National Championship. I know ben is hoping its not 35 years. Ben hopes that next year actually and also, maverick, as well. You have the mascot next to you. You have cheerleaders behind you. Everybody is so quiet, you are National Champions, forget about that. Everybody, make some noise and get excited about this. [ cheers and applause ] thats what im talking about.

The other star of the game, tell us about him. Yeah, michael, i didnt go to sleep either so here i am. There wasnt another big star on the field yesterday. But this star was wearing white and black stripes. It was referee mike defee. And he became an overnight internet sensation. Check out why.

There were people writing in things like forget the players, i want guns like the referee in the National Championship game and where do i get a workout like that . How can i find airports like this . I just at this guys arms. Defee says his main workout is trying to do his referee job to the best of his abilities but also kind of hands out free advice which apparently i could use with these scrawny quarterback arms, guys. This was my favorite move right here. I like this one. Whenever a play led to this. Whatever this move means. There are no buttons on that shirt because they would have flown off. Jesse, what was it like being at the game last night, jesse . It was unbelievable, robin. The energy was electric. I think what the coolest part about that game, two great fan bases in alabama and clemson. Awesome energy. The entire time at the end clemson deserving to win.

We are back now with that new exercise study revealing how much we really need to exercise, we need to do to see a benefit and dr. Jennifer ashton is back with us and, doctor, everybody is waiting for this. Tell us about this study. I feel like its the Academy Awards and here is the winner. This is the actual study so let me set this up for you. Its long been recommended we need to do 150 minutes of moderate intensity exercise or 75 minutes of vigorous intensity exercise a week to stay healthy which means to avoid certain untoward Health Outcomes that were all trying to avoid like death, which, you know, no one gets out of life alive but death, cancer, heart disease, this study right here actually looked at the weekend Warrior Group and those to five ties a week and good news for the weekend warrior, michael. Theyre hanging in there. Everyone saw a benefit in what we call all cause mortality so that means death from everything from cancer to heart disease, even if you just get your sweat on on the weekends, so weekend warriors, rejoice. I always wonder am i working out too much. Am i not working out enough . Is there an exact you to get these guns . Well, you know. [ laughter ] you made me blush. You cant see it at home but i really am blushing right now but how so you can be a weekend workout warrior so go during the week, maybe 30 minutes during the week and weekend you go hard ir. This is so difficult for so many people because so many people hate exercising because, a, they might not see a benefit or result as quickly as they would like. We have to remember there are other reasons to exercise. Some people, i mean for me its like i would know, bad things if i didnt get my stress release from exercise like walking . It could be walking vigorously and by the way you dont have to get all that time in in one session like you mentioned. You can get it in in various parts of the day or week but, look, ill temper the good news with this here because in my medical opinion, just, again, mind and body, more is better. Yeah. I really do believe that. I always say your body needs three things every day, it needs fuel, it needs rest and it needs to move and that newtons law a body in rest stays in rest a body stays in motion stays in motion. Why want to stay mo motion. Its hard for a lot to get started. Do you agree, its one of the hardest things to do. Do you have any suggestions . Heres my tip. Okay, number one, you have to like it, right . If you dont like it its never going to be sustainable. Find something you actually like doing. If it involves any kind of movement, youre going to be getting some benefit and Group Fitness classes, theyre so hot right now for a reason. Misery loves company. So youre all suffering together.

[ laughter ] if you guys are not hip to it download it right now. It will change your life. It will. All right. So go ahead. I want to say something. Sometimes there are songs you hear and remind you something. When im cooking i put on this song and think of george and ali. Talk about moving remember this. Remember way back when you told me that this was that this was on one of our first dates. I liked it too. She thought it was the cheesiest thing in the world. But she still married me. I know but every time i hear that song, i think of george and ali. I havent heard it in a long time. Dan it is ray goody. From now on ill think about george and ali. Im not talking about moving in thats one of those songs, im not talking about and i dont want to change your life. The stars are out and i just really want to see you tonight. All right. See you later, girl. All right, lets change topics. Quickly. So, do you guys find it hard to say no when youre your friends kids try to sell you cookies or wrapping paper or your friends have makeup lines or skin care lines . Does it happen to you guys where you get invited . I am one of the people i just feel badly. I buy the Girl Scout Cookies and sit in my cabinet until i have a weak moment. But theres an article that we want to share with you guys where an etiquette expert talked about darn it. Where is it . I was so organized. This expert talks about what do you do . Whats the right thing to do and the answer is you do not have to feel obligated. You do not. Look somebody in the eye and say no, i dont want it. No. Come on. Thats i know. But even though its not feeling obligated. You want to help out. How many of us have felt obligated afternoon bought the cookies. Oh, yeah. [ applause ] i look for those kids. Im like round them up.

Bring it on, kids. I dont know. Its one of those social sort of conundrums. How do you get out of it . What you do if you really dont like the product that your friends are selling like i mean a lot of women do to make extra money sell skin care or makeup. If you dont need it or dont want it but feel uncomfortable the suggestion is a, you know, can i make a donation and, you know, to just offer which ill take a skin care product then. If im going to shell out the money help the business. I know. Thats why i said to my producer there are no real answers here and she said, no, but its good food for thought so there you have it.

Were back now with our new series be a vet for your pet. This morning were making your pets diet healthier. We have dr. Jeff werber, a spokesperson for our sponsor iams. Thanks for being here. We want our animals to eat healthy. What should we be looking for on the labels of their food . First of all, dogs and cats need balanced nutrition to be healthy. And so you are looking for diets that are 100 nutritionally complete. One of the key ingredients usually the first, second and third should be protein. Iams found protein from animal sources is really the best way to get that protein. Good for immune system, good for heart, lungs, et cetera. Good for energy, vitality. Exercise and with cats, by the way, cats since they are carnivore, cats need to eat meat so, therefore, its very important to sourced protein, beef, chicken, eggs, fish with in the case of cats and 70 of the protein should come from these animal sources. All right. Another thing, good food is good but too much could lead to obesity, so, of course, be careful. Just like humans so were debunking common myths and well get our audience involved. We have lots of pet lovers in the audience. [ cheers and applause ] so we asked you to hold up paddles for us. True or false, human food is bad for your pet. Is that true or false . I love the fact that we have both because there is first of all its very difficult when you think of the 40 plus nutrients that go into a balanced diet, to make that at home is very tough. Plus, there are certain things here, i just have to show. Raw onions and garlic potentially toxic, grapes and raisins, toxic, avocados too much fat and Peanut Butter uses a natural sweetener thats callcal called xylotol in the sugar also kind is dangerous. Sugarless Peanut Butter, anything with that, sugarless mints or gum are dangerous for our pets. Treats quickly. February is pet dental health month so we have to be careful. Ideally the best way to control is brush pets teeth. Doesnt always happen, trust me, it doesnt. I have a lot of them. I dont even do it so look for treats like dentasticks or greaneys, cat treats, as well. Iams has one for cats too. Dental treats for our pets. These are available at the Humane Society of new york. And well be right back. Rex tillerson put exxons interests before americas. Im not here to represent the us governments interest. Instead, tillerson sided with putin.
