Hoping to get all four but two of them got stuck. Their planes didnt take off so we got two of them. We got sparty, though. Go green, go white, that was from my dad. All right, but first we want to get to that recordbreaking flooding devastating the midwest. Mississippi river overflowing and more than 12 Million People are under flood warnings this morning. Rob marciano is in valley park, missouri, this morning and, rob, i know you have the latest for us. Reporter good morning, amy.

But traffic really the least of their worries. This morning, a recordbreaking flood drowning the midwest. Swallowing up neighborhoods, homes uprooted, some floating downstream. Bridges submerged littered with debris. Rising rivers making at least 200 roads impassable. The whole entire highway is shut down. Its unbelievable. Reporter interstate 44 and route 141 shut down tuesday. These traffic lights the only sign of a once busy roadway below. Theres supposed to be two major highways and a couple days ago it was full of cars and truck, now nothing but water.

Multiple flood warnings out. Take a look at this map. Drainage has to feed into that mighty river so its going to take several days, if not a couple of weeks into the new year. Meanwhile, flash flood watches still posted for the southeast from the panhandle up through the carolinas, theyll be slowly dropped from north to south but heavyyain across the gulf coast for new years eve. Mostly dry, i think, for tonight and chilly, seasonably cold and the good news here, dan, is that there is no forecast rain for at least a week here. A silver lining, indeed. Lets turn to new years eve and the security precautions around the world as we head into tonights big celebrations. The nypd deploying thousands of officers to protect times square amidst an overseas threat warning of possible attacks on three major cities including new york. Abcs phillip mena is on the story.

C. And los angeles ahead of events there. Concern over a potential terrorist attack prompted officials in paris and brussels to cancel holiday events, but here in times square the show will go on and we are expecting a Million People down here to celebrate and authorities believe that these extra precautions will help keep everyone here safe. Yeah, police said times square will be one of the safest places on earth tonight. Phillip mena, thank you. Dan, thank you. Now to breaking news in the socalled affluenza teen. Ethan couch, his mother tonya back on american soil arriving in los angeles just hours ago. From guadalajara, mexico. Reporter good morning, amy.

We know amy has a special we should say thank you, guys. The excitement kicks off at 4 eastern. What you need to know about the games coming up. It is a huge day in sports in america but amy, we start here with a big headline thats right. With bill cosby bombshell. The disgraced comedian once known as americas dad arrested and charged for the first time with indecent assault. We will talk to his attorney in just a moment. After we get the latest from abcs ryan smith outside the courthouse in philadelphia. Good morning, ryan. Reporter good morning, amy. He walked into this courthouse slowly cane in hand guided by his lawyers accused of aggravated indecent assault. That charge causing some of the dozens of women accusing him of drugging or Sexual Assault to claim vindication while his lawyers vowed to fight the charge. Its a day many thought would never come, bill cosby walking into c cminal court. This morning, cosby is out on 1 million bail. Assaulted Andrea Constand in 2004 after giving her pills and booze at his suburban philadelphia home. Mr. Cosby urged her to take pills that he provided to her and to drink wine. The effect of which rendered her unable to move and he committed aggravated indecent assault upon her. Reporter mr. Cosby, how do you respond to the charges . Appearing fray as he walked in, cane in hand, his lawyers guiding him to court. Cosby answered yes when asked if he understood the charge against him. Aggravate the indecent assault. Punishable if convicted by up to ten years in prison. He hasnt yet entered a plea. But cosbys lawyers released a statement saying,ake no mistake, we intend to mount a investigate ross defense against this unjustified charge and we expect that mr. Cosby will be exonerated by a court of law. Over 50 women have come out accusing the superstar comedian rape. Earlier this year, more than a dozen of those women spoke out in the a e documentary cosby the women speak. Barbara boman came forward after learning about constands allegations. I said thats enough. I will not sit in silence any longer and no one believed this woman and i did because i her story was my story. Reporter cosby addressing the allegations for the first time in this may interview with abc news linsey davis. I have been in this business for 52 years and i will ive never seen anything like this. Reporter the charge filed just weeks before the statute of limitations was set to run out and as cosbys Court Appearance ended yesterday the judge said to him good luck, sir to which he replayed thank you. His next Court Appearance, january 14th. Amy. Ryan smith with the latest we are now joined by bill cosbys attorney monique pressley. Good morning. Monique. Good morning. It was a stunning cover of the New York Daily News we all woke up, the headline, he said she said with 55he saids following. Part of the defense on the bill cosby case was he had never been charged with a crime. Now he has been charged with i acrime. Do you expect this to bring about more criminal charges for your client . Well, first of all, i didnt wake up to that cover. I just saw it a few minutes before we went on and its coming from that bastion of journalistic integrity so im not putting much stock into what any of their covers espouse to say about this case or any of the other cases, but as for my expectation, i expect that because the a. s office after 12 years has chosen to reignite crime and an unjustified charge after a prior District Attorney said publicly and privately that it should not be done and then led my client into a civil process where he testified because he believed that there was no thought whatsoever, no possibility of him being charged criminally since thats what they said, but i expect now that all of those things will get ferreted out in a court of law and i have faith in the justice system. Well, lets talk about that deposition. It was from back in 2005, a 10yearold deposition that bill cosby gave where he admitted that he gave drugs to women to have sex and that he knew Andrea Constand. With those words on the record, what will your Defense Strategy be . So, you just conflated about four decades worth of the testimony from that deposition, i cant talk specifically about anything thats in the deposition but your network and every other network in america right now has that deposition so you know that those two things very specific about what he said about this particular case and that he did admit to having available to him 40 years earlier the drug quaaludes which was at the time a legal drug and that he offered it to two women who took it consensually, did not sneak and give it to them, did not hide it and use it intentionally in order to incapacitate them. The two have nothing to do with each other and our defense where this is concerned will be clear but first before we even have to mount a defense well have to look at the game of political football that this Montgomery County d. A. s office has played with my clients life. If you look at the political campaigns that led to the former d. A. And the about to be d. A. Going headtohead and choosing to make this issue a focal point, what we have now is not the effect situation of justice but the fulfillment of a prosecutor who used this case and used the current climate about the allegations against my client in order to get into office and had to make good before the statute of limitations completely ran out on what he promised in order to get in that office. All right, miss presley, quickly, i wanted to ask about how mr. Cosby is doing. He looked very frail walking into that courtroom. Was he expecting these charges . Everyone says he looked frail. I dont really understand it. He is a tall man of sufficient girth. He is 78 years old and blind so he does use a cane so he can know whats coming in front of him and does require assistance because of that and thats who the d. A. s office has chosen to charge in this case. Thats his status now 12 years later but he is in good spirits and has confident in his legal teams ability to bring about justice for him in this case. Monique pressley, we appreciate your time this morning. Thanks for joining us. Thank you for having me. Coming up next teresa first timeince leaving prison. What is next for her and her family.

Oh, wait, thats sparty. The one thats not a tiger is sparty. Okay, okay, okay, wait. Thats amys. I got it and the ka the is dans. Now to president obamas new job title this morning. Comedian. Mr. Obama took a spin with Jerry Seinfeld to kick off the Season Opener of comedians in cars getting coffee and began with seinfeld creeping around in the bushes outside the oval office. You can get in trouble for that then knocking on the window to get the president s attention. Heres a sneak peek. Grow up loving the president. Would be the eight demographic. Oh, really. They love me partly because i think my ears are big and so i look a little like a a cartoon character. Right. And then little kids love saying my name. Right. But its all one big name, its barack obama. Weve been waiting for this. Time to make them work. Were talking dancing. Our College Football team mascots have been getting us hyped up all morning. Sparty and tiger or cat and their moves. Youll give it all you got, okay . Ready. Set, boop. Everybody that was a whip and nae nae. I saw it coming. Move your feet oh, that was the gap. Yeah.

And Michigan State facing off against alabama in the cotton bowl at 8 p. M. Next we have Jenny Mccarthy. She is dishing on new years rockin eve. Get a hammy, everybody. Welcome back to gma and happy new years eve. We have our mascots here, pumping us up this morning for the big College Playoff games on espn. A lot coming up including a big reveal of the new American Girl doll but first there she is hiding behind that mysterious scrim but for sara hours away from the famous dropping of the ball in times square. You have an up close look with Jenny Mccarthy. I sure did just a couple of blocks away the big times square ball will drop as we count down to 2016 and spent a little time up there with Jenny Mccarthy who is a handful. I love her and shes cohosting Dick Clarks Rockin new years eve with Ryan Seacrest. Had to do it. We had a ball. Nice. [ cheers and applause ] im here right now with one of the dynamic duo. Oh, and youre here, jenny, are you ready . I am. This is no doubt like one of my favorite types of the year. Ive been doing it six year, ryan has been doing it for 11. Has a little more on me. Its the one time that i get to be around 1 Million People who are unified and happy, collectively and it literally i get the chills and cry. I wish the world could be like this all the time. The weather has never been in your favor. I think in years past it was like 20 degrees. Its so cold, ryan. I cant hear you. Now this year its supposed to be 40. Yes. How are you going to stay away. Dick clark would say pray to Mother Nature and i think actually dick is looking down on us because the weather did get better. I usually use that cold weather to kind of stay alert but now i have my 13yearold son with me so that will help me. Youre kind of on mommy duty. Exactly. As well. What do you think the fans are most excited about. A good question. I think it depends on age group, might have beat everybody out. They always do. They do. Theyre so passionate so i think luke bryan and Carrie Underwood will get the loudest screams. You kiss your husband on new years but brought two strangers together in the past for a stranger kiss. Correct. Can we expect something as exciting this year. Were working on something just as exciting. I try to up the ante. Ryan wants to find someone to kiss at midnight. Will you help him. I tried. I almost got him to kiss taylor swift then i almost got him to kiss miley cyrus so hopefully this year maybe Carrie Underwood wouldnt mind cheating on her husband. Well, i like her style. Come on, jenny did, people. Thank you. Whats your new years resolution . Can you share . Mine is odd, i must say. Im kind of i borrowed this off Carrie Fisher. Not her resolution but in her recent kind of talk back to social media about her weight know, im tired of taking the high road sometimes. I feel like i want to be a little Carrie Fisher in the new year and would like to speak my mind a little bit more instead of taking the publicists high road. Good luck tonight. You too. Happy new year. Tune in. Dick clarks rockin new years eve with Ryan Seacrest kicks off on abc the 58 p. M. And spot if i play list featuring songs from our performers. Listen to it on goodmorningamerica. Com on yahoo ill send it back to amy. Sara, two of the nicest people in the business, hosting that and sara, youre included on that one. Another big event kicking off this afternoon, the College Football playoff whether youre a diehard fan or a newbie, who doesnt want to look clueless watching the games weve got you covered. I pause because that would maybe be dan. I thought thats what you were saying. Sage steele is here with a guide to all things gridiron with a people who might not know whats going on. Youre not clueless, are you . Im clueless about most thing. According to amy. What does he need to know. Second year of the playoff form. Were having them on new years eve. Football, partying, like you dont have to leave your couch. We got you covered on espn and abc with the ball drop but these matchups are actually really fun and very different programs. Alabama has won ten national championships, oklahoma has won seven. Michigan state, two. Clemson, one so its the haves and havenots and theyre facing off and theres actually a lot of good drama coming into this. We like drama. Always fun to root for the underdog. Oklahoma clemson matchup. What should we know there. Lingo. I memorized that. Clemson, its interesting actually sent home. Only one was a starter but disciplinary reasons and dabo they screwed up. Theyre out. He likes to dance. If they win look for dancing. Also, baker may feel the oklahoma quarterback great story went to texas tech, hurt himself, transferred. He went there as a walkon. Transferred and then went to oklahoma as a walkon. That doesnt happen so that means no scholarship. He walks in and now look at him. In the National Semifinal game. But this is a rematch because last season these two played in a bowl and clemson blew them out like 406 so again revenge is the little theme here. Underdog, Michigan State. I mean, tell me what their chances are. You know, i think it depends all on their quarterback connor cook. Is my dad going to have a good new years eve. All about your dad. Not anything else. I dont think it will be horrible but a really good game and hes a stud. Connor cook, their quarterback is an absolute stud breaking all the records at that school. Do you know the head coach at Michigan State, mark dan known joe used to coach under nick alabama head coach so a very small circle and all comes back. You have the Heisman Trophy winner with derekrick henry from alabama. Saban is tight. A competitor. Doesnt smile much. He might smile if he beats your Michigan State spartans . Well try to wipe that smile off his face, stage 1, thanks for being here. Enjoy, dan. Thank you, i will. And the College Football playoff semifinals kick off this afternoon on espn. Oklahoma taking on clemson, the orange bowl at 4 p. M. Eastern and Michigan State and alabama in the cotton bowl at 8 00. Sara.

We know kerry wore it beautifully at the emmys this year and saw it on kate middleton. Looks difficult. She has long hair actually so what i did was i took her hair and teased it and really good teasing brush and it gives the hair volume so i took large bobby pins and pinned it in places and let some fall in the front and on the sides. This is it like a bob is a longer version of a lob. A lob, okay. Yes, i learned something new today. The third trend is about the braids, theres Kerry Washington with the crown braid and then emma stone and Hayden Panettiere all sporting braids. Braid. Can you tell us how you did it.
