Lets get right to our chief White House Correspondent jon karl. Whats the latest on his condition, jon . Good morning. Reporter good morning, robin. Just days before the inauguration of the next president , americas oldest living president was rushed to the hospital with shortness of breath. The 41st president was rushed to houston Methodist Hospital this past saturday. The elder george bush was last seen in public a couple of weeks ago at a Houston Texans Football Game he attended with his son jeb. He famously went skydiving to celebrate his 90th birthday but george h. W. Bush has had several Health Scares in recent years. In 2015 he fractured a bone in his neck at the familys summer compound in kennebunkport, maine, and in 2012 he spent two months in intensive care for a bronchialrelated illness. He has a form of parkinsons disease and uses a motorized scooter to get around but despite the Health Challenges his spirit remains strong. Just over a week ago he visited his old friend astronaut jean cernan in the hospital just days before cernan died. The spokesperson for george h. W. Bush says he is resting comfortably right now. They hope that hell be released from the hospital within a couple of days. But he was already skipping this inauguration due to Health Concerns. That said, president bush was certainly to fan of donald trump, in fact, he was reportedly seen throwing his shoes at the Television Set during the republican primaries because he didnt like trumps attacks on his son jeb. George, michael, robin. We know he voted for hillary clinton. Thats what he said. Hope hes okay. We do hope hes okay. Absolutely. The latest now on the trump inaugural just two days away and kicked it off with a gala for foreign diplomats and Business Leaders last night as you see him with Vice President elect and protests too and cecilia vega has the details. Good morning. Reporter good morning, george. Protesters on the streets of d. C. And now the number of Congressional Democrats planning to protest his inauguration friday is growing. That number now up to 55 people who say they are staying home. Donald trump kicked off his inauguration festivities with the blacktie gala and his running mate overnight. The room packed with nearly 200 foreign diplomats. For many their first interaction with the man who is about to become president. We have Great Respect for your countries. We have Great Respect for our world. Reporter the president elect center stage but shining the spotlight on his secretary of state pick, exxonmobil Ceo Rex Tillerson fresh off his capitol hill confirmation grilling. We have a man that i wanted right from the beginning, rex tillerson. I think its tougher than he thought. He figured he led this charmed life. Goes into the country, takes the oil, goes into another country. Its tough dealing with these politicians, right . Hes going to be so incredible. Reporter but just blocks away there were protesters outside of the trump hotel including a man who attempted to light himself on fire. Now just hours away from taking the oath of office, this morning trump is taking aim at the growing number of Congressional Democrats planning to boycott his swearing in. One in four now say theyll skip the ceremony in protest. Thats okay because we need seats so badly. I hope they give me their tickets. Are they going to give us their tickets. Youre okay with them not going. Reporter also largely absent, alisters but americas first reality tv star turned president tells fox news, this inauguration is about the people, not celebrities. I read where some of them decided they told us theyre not going to sing. They were never asked to sing like who . All of these socalled celebrities were saying i dont want to go. One of them said, well, i have told them im not going to sing. They were never asked to sing. Many of the celebrities that are saying theyre not going, they were never invited. I dont want the celebrities. I want the people. And another declaration this morning in that interview from donald trump. He says, quote, i dont like tweeting. I have other things i could be doing. He says tweeting is a way to counteract the media, george, as you know, last year he said in an interview i love tweeting so hell still be tweeting as president if a lot of followers. More than 30 million followers. In that interview, you know, donald trump in a feud with the cia accusing them of nazilike tactics suggesting that the cia director john brennan leaked that controversial dossier on unsubstantiated claims and now hes trying to put this to rest. Reporter an awkward one at that. Donald trump is saying in this recent interview he accepts that john brennan was not behind the leak but says that the Intel Community should not have been behind that russian dossier, george, so this feud still ongoing, i think. Okay, cecilia vega, thanks very much. A fierce showdown on capitol hill today as four of his nominees go before congress. All eyes are on tom price, the nominee to lead the department of health and human services. Our Congressional Correspondent mary bruce has the latest on all that. Good morning, mary. Reporter good morning, robin. This is a big day here with some of trumps most controversial picks in the hot seat. Democrats are bracing for a showdown over hhs nominee tom price. If confirmed he would be the architect of trumps plan to repeal and replace obamacare, but this morning democrats are raising concerns about his finances. Theyre questioning whether price made improper Health Care Stock trades while also serving on a Key Health Care committee. Now, the Trump Transition Team has launched a fierce defense but expect there to be plenty of fireworks later today. Also the hearing for scott pruitt, his pick for epa. He sued the epa 14 times and our brian ross is reporting there are likely to be Big Questions today about health care excuse me, about donations from Big Energy Companies that came to groups with ties to pruitt just as he was suing that agency. Robin. Mary, trumps pick for education secretary was also facing a lot of tough questions well into the night. Reporter yeah, lots of questions about her qualifications. Betsy devos is known as a longtime Charter School advocate and refused to rule out whether she would divert funding from those private School Options to public School Options. Now, the biggest thing getting attention this morning, though, is this exchange on guns in schools that came with senator chris murphy from connecticut. Take a look. You cant say definitively today guns shouldnt be in schools . Well, i will refer back to senator enzi and the school that he was talking about in wyoming. I think probably there i would imagine that theres probably a gun in the school to protect from potential grizzlies. Reporter now that comment getting a lot of people and gun control advocates talking this morning. Robin. It certainly has, thank you. More on this from the Senior Adviser of the president elect, Kellyanne Conway. Good morning. Thanks for joining us. Democrats that hearing for betsy devos, democrats complain they only got five minutes to question her. They want to have another hearing before they go forward and now appears that some of these confirmation hearings are slowing down. Are you concerned youre not going to have a full cabinet in place when the president takes office . George, we certainly hope that president elect trump will have that cabinet in place the way president obama and president george w. Bush did. They had upwards of seven to nine confirmed on Inauguration Day so friday is coming quickly. We certainly hope and expect that well be able to have a peaceful transition of government which includes having a cabinet in place. Even george w. Bush who came into office on december 12th some five weeks after the actual election through a Supreme Court decision, there were a lot of people felt cheated, raw nerve, hurt feelings yet he had nine of his cabinet nominees confirmed in that week because the senate recognizes you need state and treasury and defense in place to keep us going. Yeah and i know there have been some issues with making sure all the fors are in. The president elect clearly not happy with that series of new polls showing that hell be the most unpopular president taking office in modern times. But the country clearly is divided so does he feel any need in this inaugural to reach out to those americans who dont support him . Well, we discussed the polls. He knows that the polls also show very important things to americans including your abc news poll like a majority saying that donald trump will have positive impact on the economy and jobs. They believe he will keep us safer. But more broadly outside of any one poll, if you look at this inaugural address and ive seen it, you do see a president who is making good on his promise from Election Night, george, to be the president of all americans and that includes the millions who did not vote for him. That theme will be carried over into his inaugural address. Its a beautiful, elegant, very strong, powerful message and, yes, it is America First, and, yes, he is a man of action but at the same time he recognizes that to move forward we need to come together. We hope that the democrats who say theyre not coming to the inauguration would reconsider. They are certainly invited. Thats how you show america were coming together to solve significant problems. Does the statement that he doesnt like tweeting mean that hell be tweeting less . Not necessarily. What he is saying is this is one of the only ways that he can actually connect and communicate directly with the american people. We are not treated fairly by many media outlets. Thank you for the platform here, george, as always, but this is the way that he goes around those who want to, i think, t toxify his message and distorlt his message. He is the most brilliant communicator i have ever met and saw with the diplomatic corps, a remarkable historic event to have 200 members all in a room, ambassadors, diplomats, ministers and to a person they were so excited to be included. You have president obama fancies himself some kind of globalist, never did an event like this. Donald trump coming in as the new president getting off on the right foot, cross religious, cross cultural, Cross National International Celebration lets talk about health care. President elect says he has the goal of insurance for everyone even those who cant pay for it. You said under mr. Trumps plan no one who has coverage will lose it, the Congressional Budget Office said the repeal could cost 18 Million People their insurance right away so how will President Trump guarantee everyone who now has coverage will keep their coverage . What were saying people who are relying on insurance currently will not go without coverage during the time of transition. He has made that clear. I think he said it at his press conference or sometime last week. Secondly its just a more patient centric free market system of buying and having health care. Why . Because youll have a Health Savings account with your name on it where you own it and you will be able to control spending. We will block grant medicaid to the states probably. So those who are closest to the people in need who know how to administer it will do so and, of course, the big one that you can buy Health Insurance across state line, your viewers know they buy goods and Services Across State Lines every day. Why in the most intimate purchase that you can make as an american for your health care would you not be able to do that . So he wants to make sure its truly affordable and accessible. There are americans who have been helped through the Affordable Care act. They will not be harmed but Many Americans feel they had great benefits and their premiums have skyrocketed. Their choice, their quality and their access has been diminished. We want to help those people. Kellyanne conway, thanks very much. Thank you, george. And tomorrow night our coverage will continue. Well have an inside look at americas new first family as the trumps head to washington, a special edition of 20 20 and friday, it begins at 7 00 a. M. On gma and continues all day through the inaugural parade. Now, george, to the president obama. His commuting of the 35year sentence of chelsea manning, the former Army Intelligence analyst who leaked hundreds of thousands of sensitive documents to wikileaks. Now, that founder, julian assange, saying he welcomes the decision and that manning is, quote, a hero whose bravery should be applauded. The president s decision provoking strong reaction on both sides of the aisle. Abcs chief Global Affairs correspondent, martha raddatz, has more. Joins us from washington. Good morning, martha. Good morning, robin. As you can imagine the strongest negative reaction coming from republicans, veterans, john mccain and tom cotton, both highly critical and speaker of the house, paul ryan calling it outrageous. Manning leaked 700,000 documents that revealed all kinds of american secrets. Manning has already served seven years of the 35year sentence, the longest sentence ever imposed in a leak case. She tried to commit suicide twice last year. One of her lawyers saying her release was a matter of life and death, robin. And also, martha, we saw the president pardoning a retired general and there were some other pardons that raised a few eyebrows. Tell us about those. Reporter exactly. Retired general james hosp kite was a key member of the National Security team, but last year cartwright pleaded guilty to lying to the fbi about conversations with journalists involving classified material. In explaining that pardon a white house official said that in those discussions with journalists, cartwright was actually trying to prevent publication of classified information, robin. All right, martha, thank you. All right, thank you, robin. Now to the major storm thats hitting the west and Neal Karlinsky is in portland, oregon, with that information. Good morning, neal. Reporter michael, good morning. Portland cant catch a break crushed by several heavy snowstorms and now this, this ice storm. Take a look at this video. Can you see a truck sliding out of control, one semi just narrowly misses it then another one cant stop or get out of the way in time. It smashes into that truck. The roads are so icy, i84 partially closed because of the ice. Major delays and cancellations at the airport here but the weather is now warming up. The rain is coming down. That ice is melting and the concern all up and down the west coast, in fact, now turns towards possible flooding. Guys. All right, neal, thank you very much. Were going to talk to ginger about that in a moment. Now amy has the mornings other top stories with earthquakes in italy. Three earthquake, robin, hit central italy with tremors felt in rome. The first a magnitude 5. 3, less than an hour later a slightly stronger quake hit followed by another aftershock. No reports of any serious damage so far. Quakes, though, you may remember in the same region last year killed nearly 300 people. Accused cop killer in orlando has been captured after a nineday manhunt. Police say Markeith Loyd was wearing body armor when they arrested him in a vacant house after tracing his text messages. He is wanted for the murder of Master Sergeant Debra Clayton in a walmart parking lot and for the shooting of his exgirlfriend. The secret service has settled a 24 million discrimination lawsuit. The case was brought by 100 black agents who claimed their less qualified white colleagues repeatedly received promotions. The secret service did not admit any wrongdoing in that settlement. Finally some things are just meant to go together. Bacon and eggs, Peanut Butter and jelly and beer and yoga. It is gaining popularity in europe. Fans say pairing yoga philosophies with drinking beer allow you to reach your highest level of consciousness. Im sure thats okay as long as you dont reach a level of unconsciousness. Thats probably not good but they say this is both are centuries old therapies for mind, body and soul. Okay. Youre not buying it. I can tell. Id give it a try. We had goat yoga the other day.

Traditionally the honor of singing the National Anthem at the inauguration has not gone to a big named celebrity.

Well, i have a lot of positivity from my framily and thats all that matters to me and all of my true fans have been there for me and supportive so thats all i need so im sticking to it. Our sister, as t. J. Said is transgender. This is a big week for her as well. Uhhuh. Yes. But she wont be at the inaugural. She wont be. She has personal things going on right now and i wish i could be there for her too and she wishes she was here for me but were there in spirit. You met donald trump when you were younger. What do you think about him . When i met him he was extremely polite, very nice and thankful for me to be there and perform for him so i mean, it was a great experience. Whats the hardest part about singing the National Anthem . Just kind of the pressure of the song itself. Its such a big, grand song and you really dont want to mess that up. We know you wont.

Jen ashton are here at the table for our first story and well start with that urgent warning about high intensity training. Three members, did you hear about this, the University Oregon Football Team hospitalized after what was described as a grueling workout and now their strength coach has been suspended. We hope that the players are recovering and doing well. But, jesse, just bring everybody up to speed. The Oregon Football Team got back from holidays and started their strength and Conditioning Program and have a brandnew head coach and apparently theyve been grueling compared to basic military training. Three student athletes were complaining of muscle fatigue. Showing symptoms of potential exercise related injuries. So the medical staff, they went with them, looked at the players, reported back to the Coaching Staff pursuant to their medical protocol. Since then those three players have been hospitalized with rabdo and willie tag gert has issued an apology on behalf of the Coaching Staff and university as well. What can you tell us about this condition . So take a look at this graphic. This animation, basically three step, muscle trauma or muscle injury that causes a leaking of the main protein in muscle to enter the bloodstream that travels to the kidneys and basically in effect causes among other things a clogging of the kidney filtration system could be mild, could be severe, could be lifethreatening. Awful us who played sports at some time have heard that phrase, no pain, no gain and doctors always cringe and we thought we kind of got away from that. You two guys, did you ever were you concerned about overtraining . Have you ever heard of this issue . Hes a quarterback, so absolutely not. Oh i was dusting off those tenpound dumbbells.

I walk into the studio every single morning and i make sure that i blow two kisses to my mom and dad and then i have this little box that has my dads name on it. You always have to touch it. Ive developed a superstition from hers. You also have that creepy little baby under the desk. Oh, no, thats not a real baby, everybody. Not a real baby. George, you need to phrase that right. A little baby that you got from the king cake. The king cake. Yeah, you do have that creepy little baby. If i see a penny, if that penny is hides up, you better watch out. I got to get it. My dad always gave them to me for diving as a sign of good luck so i cannot see a penny heads up and not pick it up. The question today, do you know where these superstitions come from . Got to throw out a couple. Why is it bad luck to walk under get to that in a second. Why is it bad luck to walk under a leaning ladder. Because somebody walked under one and somebody fell on top. A good guess. Incorrect. 5,000 years ago in and gent egypt they believed the triangle is sacred so if you walked through it you were desecrating the triangle. Did not know that. How about the salt one . The salt [ laughter ] the salt one makes perfect sense. Salt was very valuable. So if you spilled some you wanted to do something about it. Thats just also from ancient samarians so throw it over the shoulder and the word salt comes from salary which means money. This is great. Tell us another story. Okay. Is there a reason for the Left Shoulder because im superstitious about that too . Ill have to read that. I dont know. Triskaidekaphobia. Anybody know what that is. Fear of 3s. 13. Friday the 13th. Where does that come from . Anybody know. Im sure michael knows but hes not sharing anymore. Ill wait till i hear the answer. Norse mythology. 12 godded invited to valhalla crashed by loki, the 13th god of luck and evil. I love loki. Judas was the 13th at the last supper. Thank you, uncle george. But its amazing. I love that. But its amazing how long these things stay on. We often do a lot of these without knowing where they come from but continue to do. Once a week. Or just like some cool thing we all sort of take for granted. Do you step on a crack. Break your mommas back. No. You know, something cool that none of us take for granted is our special guest whos coming to the table. You know him as the manly man ron swanson from parks and recreation. Now hes got a new movie starring in the founder with Michael Keaton. Please welcome Nick Offerman. [ applause ] you look great. Thank you. Hi. I havent seen you in a long time. [ cheers and applause ] congrats on this movie. So fantastic. Thank you. Good morning. So happy right now. Yes. You know, you make us happy but someone else we know you make happy well try and keep you that way. Yes. Youve been married to your wife Megan Mullally for 14 years. Congratulations on that. Ah. [ applause ] but youre very impressionable guy. Im curious, what was her First Impression of you when you two met in that play back in the day . We met doing a play in the year 2000 and it was a big cast of 24 and she thought that they hadnt cast my part yet and the plumber friend was sitting in to read the first rehearsal and somewhere during the proceedings she was like, they should just use the plumber. Hes pretty funny. Made quite an impression. Dubious beginning. What was your First Impression of her . My First Impression of her was a sense of looking seven echelons up. I was like, wow, she lives on another planet. Shes gorgeous and so funny and it like it didnt even occur to me that she was out of my league. She was like in another species. I was like, wow. They tell me shes human but ill need some proof. The dynamic duo. What was it we had Michael Keaton here earlier this week and b. J. Last week. What was it like working with mr. Compete everybody. Oh, god, well, hes a hero for my whole life. I mean as somebody that i really look up to. [ applause ] and so he really made me a terrible actor because being in a room with him shooting lightning bowls out of his blue eyes at me, im sitting there thinking, oh, i see why youre a movie star. Youre amazing was my line. We beeped it out just in time. Dont worry. We were talking about First Impressions. He plays ray kroc from mcdonalds. You play one of the mcdonalds brothers and his character makes quite an impression on you when you first meet. Lets take a look. Ray, we have an interest in a milk shake that contains no milk. Why not add saw dust to the hamburgers. Frozen french fries. You dont want to save a bundle. Not like that. Were talking about the same great taste, while boosting the bottom line. Its called a milk shake. Ray. Real milk, now and forever. [ applause ] wait. Have you been familiar with mcdonalds story . I knew sort of the larger themes. I love eric schlossers fast food nation and michael poll lands omnivores dilemma and some of my family are Grain Farmers and im really interested in how fast food and industrial agriculture has sort of killed small farms. You werent a real mcdonalds fan . As i kid i was like anybody but then were all kind of as a society learning the dark underbelly of these institutions. But those brothers. But the personal stories of what happened to the brothers, i was astonished and thats to me the combination of Michael Keaton and this story that will blow your mind. Its like finding out the post office was run started by shrek. Youre just like what. I totally agree. How did no one know about this. Go in with no preconceived notions. Who knew . Crazy. You do a great job. Youre an amazing straight man but youre also quite an open book about your many, many talents. Let me just i heard a long list. Carrying luggage. Carrying luggage. Both washing and drying the dishes. Whoa, whoa, whoa. Im reading here not to brag. You can break dance. I can pop a little. [ cheers and applause ] you shouldnt have said that. I shouldnt have said that. Right . I love that. We can we werent expecting that at all. I can pop a little. Love this man. You know what, youre lucky. We have to wrap. We can finish in a little. [ cheers and applause ] whos the beatbox at this table . Michael. The gap. Too much wind. Gap. I tried. As a kid. Going to save all of us. Hits theaters nationwide friday.
