Their journey and his attorney suggesting that the runaway plan may have been the teenagers idea. Blockbuster opening. The last jedi, a force to be reckoned with at the box office. Fans packing theaters across the country showing their passion and paying tribute to a princess. Will it be the biggest weekend ever . Hey, good morning. Many of us here on set feeling somewhat culturally ignorant this morning because we havent yet seen the new star wars movie. I have tickets for tomorrow with my wife. Paula, i know youre going as well. Have you seen it, tony . No. Ronnie, have you seen it. No. Im going with dans wife too. A bit awkward. I didnt tell you about that. A whole different kind of show. Buy an extra ticket for ron. And some popcorn. He likes lots of butter on it. Much more on it coming from tony real really who is in for adrienne. And well start with a pair of quickmoving storms bringing frigid temperatures and some places getting over a foot. A lot of snow to shovel. Overnight the snow creating chaos in the northeast. Check out the low visibility at the empire state building. I promise you its somewhere in this picture. We have shots of a wedding picture in philadelphia. They got caught out in the elements. They look happy nonetheless. Its good luck if it rains on your wedding day. What if it snows. Even better. Its a form of rain. Its frozen. Where are these storms and whats showing off her meteorological expertise. Ill let meteorologist mike taylor show off his expertise. Hes in for rob this weekend. Mike, good morning to you. Hey, good morning. Happy to be here. You know, this system, i got to tell you, if you were in this last night, i hate to remind you, but we had rough stuff passing through the area. Take a look at the roads near philadelphia. Police had to really orchestrated traffic. The morning commute was fine but, man, the drive home, the snow could not have arrived at the worst possible time and one scenario. Erie, pennsylvania, not only trucks but cars sliding off the roads, and we had some snow squalls, reports of seeing some of that lightning as far as just convective snow bands flaring up. That system is starting to scoot off towards the east. Now were still seeing some snow squalls still passing through and its going to die down but one thing im going to mention to you, the colder air is really starting to push in. We still have Winter Weather advisories and lakeeffect snow warnings in effect and well go from slush to crush to check out the bitter cold moving in, northern minnesota, negative 13 degrees, very cold air is going to be pushing in. But thats not it. Well be talking about warmer conditions coming in. Ill have the details coming up in just a few. We want to welcome you to gma. We dont welcome that bitter cold weather. And well check in with you later. We want to move on to the major developments out of washington including the republicans who are on the cusp of passing a huge historic tax bill by the end of the year. If it passes, it will be the first major legislative victory for President Trump and the gop but it comes as there are new developments in the russia investigation. Matt dowd is standing by with analysis but lets start here with abcs david wright right there at the white house. David, good morning to you. Reporter good morning, dan and paula. The holiday rush looks a little different here in washington as republican lawmakers scramble to pass a tax break before they break for vacation themselves, and the pieces do seem to be falling into place. The president even pushing back his departure for palm beach hoping to sign that first big piece of legislation. Republican lawmakers believe they have the votes needed to pass the biggest tax overhaul in a generation. The house and Senate Compromise bill more than a thousand pages long. I know everyones lives will be better off under tax reform. Reporter republicans can afford to lose two votes in the senate and still have the measure pass with Vice President pence breaking the tie. Tennessees bob corker was the only republican to vote no on the initial senate bill insisting he couldnt support anything that adds to the deficit. Never never ever ever. Reporter now hes come around. So has Floridas Marco Rubio and Maines Susan Collins making it likely this measure will pass. The final bill is expected to add 1. 5 trillion to the deficit slashing the Corporate Tax rate nearly in half, but also doubling the standard deduction for those who dont itemize. The bill will still allow popular deductions for mortgage interest, Student Loans and state and local taxes but the caps on some of those deductions will be lower. The tax bill is one of two big items on the president s radar. Next week his lawyers are expected to meet facetoface with special Counsel Robert Mueller and his team, a rarity. The president s lawyers are hoping to hear that muellers probe into russian meddling and possible collusion by the Trump Campaign is nearing an end. Not clear mueller will oblige. There is absolutely no collusion. I didnt make a phone call to russia. I have nothing to do with russia. Everybody knows it. Reporter on friday Abcs Jonathan Karl and others pressed the president about whether hed consider pardoning his former National Security adviser who pled guilty to lying to the fbi and is now cooperating with the special counsel. Trump wouldnt rule it out. Would you consider a pardon for Michael Flynn . I dont want to talk about pardons for Michael Flynn yet. Well see what happens. Well see. Reporter getting back to the tax bill, the republicans say that for the average American Family earning 75,000 a year, itll mean an extra 2,000 in your pocket. But the democrats say that some of those lower and middle class tax cuts are like teaser rates on a mortgage. All of the individual tax cuts are set to expire in 2025. The Corporate Tax rates, the Corporate Tax cuts however remain. Yeah, theres a lot to be explained about the tax cut bill. Before we let you go, david, senator john mccain is receiving treatment for his cancer right now. Our thoughts go out to him. Is he expected to be back in time for the vote, and if not, what kind of impact could his absence have on getting it passed . Reporter senator mccain is in the hospital at the moment. He is, of course, battling brain cancer. His friends and family say they hope he will be back on the job very soon, but even if he doesnt make it back in time to vote on the tax bill, its likely that the republicans have the votes they need to pass it without him. Dan and paula. David, thank you. Were pulling for senator mccain this morning. Yeah, we are. Lets bring in abc news political consultant matthew dowd. Matt, good morning to you. Good morning. Lets just start here with general flynn. What are the political risks for donald trump if he pardons Michael Flynn . Well, not to use not to overuse a monopoly analogy, but hes taking a chance by presenting a get out of jail free card in the midst of this and i think its either, one, bob mueller is not a dumb guy and my guess is bob muellers gotten most of the information he needs from Michael Flynn if hes going to move any further on in that fear of a pardon of keeping the information, the fear of him getting a pardon so he wont cooperate i think is gone. I think it puts donald trump in an interesting position because youre basically holding out the promise of a guy that could be a witness against you that you might pardon them, so it is a question that somebody could ask, is there an obstruction of justice claim involved in just this promise of that possibly happening. And a conflict of interest. Okay, lets go back to the tax bill. Looks like this is going to pass. Could this be a huge victory . How big of a victory could this be for the gop and for trump . I think we have to separate a legislative victory, which would be a big legislative victory from a political victory which i dont think it will be. The republicans have fooled themselves to think that passing an unpopular tax bill pushed by an unpopular president through an unpopular congress is going to be helpful to them. If you take a look at the tax bill and look back at 2010 when the democrats passed obamacare which was no benefit to them, the lowest point of obamacare and the lowest point of president obama is higher than where trump is today and where this tax bill is today. I think its going to create another part of the wave next year but its a problem. I think its going to be a political problem for the you dont think it boosts the economy in some way that thats what theyre hoping for. I think whats gone on with the economy is theres a huge separation between what the Economic Indicators that weve all talked about and what the political indicators are. Right now Donald Trumps got a huge setting records on the stock market, unemployment is at 4 . Everything there seems to be going well, but twothirds of the country think were on the wrong track and 59 of the people disapprove of donald trump on the economy. So i dont think hes going to get any benefit on it. Thanks for your insight. Great to have you here. On set. A monopoly analogy today. Usually its a sports metaphor. Something i dont understand but i got that one. You got monopoly. Yeah, i did. I got it. You can do connect four. Absolutely. Tictactoe. Checkers, not chess. Thanks, matt. Thank you, matt. Appreciate it. We want to stick with politic and were about to show you a moment in Congress Going viral this morning. It involves one of President Trumps nominees for federal judge who gets grilled by a republican senator and he flounders through the questioning. Abcs Kenneth Moton is in washington with that story. Kenneth, good morning to you. Reporter good morning. Its definitely one of those did you see it moments. The republican majority has pushed through many of President Trumps judicial nominees, but after this weeks hearing, at least one top gop senator on the Judiciary Committee say he cant support Matthew Petersen. Id be struggling to remember. Reporter this morning the judicial nominees stumble scene across the country. Can you tell me what the daubert standard is . Senator kennedy, i dont have that readily at my disposal. Reporter Matthew Petersen grilled on capitol hill nominated for a lifetime federal judgeship by President Trump. Have you ever tried a jury trial . I have not. Civil . No. Criminal . No. Bench . No. State or federal court . I have not. Reporter but the lawyer who serves on the federal Elections Commission struggled to answer basic legal questions. Do you know what a motion in limine is . Yes, i havent im again, my background is not in litigation. Reporter video of the awkward moment now viral. Democratic senator Sheldon Whitehouse who sits on the Judiciary Committee tweeted the video with the caption, hooboy. The questioner, trump supporter republican senator john kennedy. You just cant walk into a federal courthouse for the very first time and say here i am. I think i want to be a judge. It just doesnt work that way. Reporter this week President Trump set a record, the most Appellate Court nominees many conservative confirmed in a president s first year. This is a president whose focus on making sure we havion judges in place that understand what their role is and thats not to create law, thats not to change laws, but its to be actually focused on the constitution. Reporter the white house is standing behind its nominee Matthew Petersen. A spokesman said the media and the president s political opponents are trying to distract from the Record Number of judicial confirmations. Dan and paula. Except the senator doing the questioning was a republican. Kenneth, thank you. We want to move on now to the new developments to tell you about in the case of a High School Soccer coach who ran away with a teenage student. Rian rodriguez and Caitlyn Frisina were at the center of a nationwide manhunt. He says it was the teenagers idea to run away in the first place. Reporter in an orange jumpsuit rian rodriguez stoic as he appears for the first time in federal court. The judge charging him with a second felony, Sexual Activity with a minor. Sir, did you understand what it was that i told you . Yes, your honor. Reporter according to the charging document, rodriguez engaged in sexual relations on multiple occasions with 17yearold Caitlyn Frisina. If you lie to me and i find out, i will hold that against you. Reporter the 27yearold former soccer coach vanishing with frisina on november 26 sending federal agents on a days long manhunt up the east coast. The two eventually detained in a traffic stop on december 1st in syracuse, new york, more than 1,000 miles from home. Do you have any comments . Reporter rodriguez arrested and extradited to florida. The latest charge upgraded to first degree felony because rodriguez was in a position of authority over the teen who was a student at the school where he worked. He was good friends with her parents. Weve known him for several years through the soccer and the school and everything. Reporter frisinas mother seen in court at the state prosecutors side arguing rodriguez knew what he was doing was wrong but still continued the relationship, but Defense Attorneys already foreshadowing their case saying it was the teen who masterminded the plan. Her own statement was that she did most of the planning. Reporter the two were caught under 200 miles from the border with canada.

Its important to teach giving, and a lot of churches and schools will have drives for maybe kids, where you can go out and buy a gift with your child to show them were going to give this season, but i like to take it a step further and one thing we like to do before the holiday is let our kids know you have to get rid of five used toys we can also donate to make room for the new ones that santa will bring you.
