I know oprah says she has no plans to run. Thats what she told bloomberg overnight. Not so farfetched. Well have much more backstage just ahead. Now to that travel nightmare affecting flights all over the world. The water main break shut down one of the terminals in new yorks Kennedy Airport and canceled and delayed flights creating more trouble after that monster storm stranded so many passengers. Look at the bags piled up. Our Senior Transportation correspondent david kerley is on the scene. Good morning, david. Reporter good morning, george. It is going to be another day of struggles here at jfk. The airport still hasnt recovered from the storm and that is unacceptable according to the head of the Port Authority and then the pipe breaks making it a true nightmare in the terminal behind me. Just when it seemed it couldnt get worse that water pipe at jfk burst apparently from the freezing cold. Three inches of water flooding part of the Main International terminal. Twothirds of overseas flights affected. Diverting jets to atlanta sending International Passengers through custom there is and fly to jfk as a domestic flight. But even before the water failed, jfk was a mess. Two days after the bomb cyclone an aviation source telling abc news that Many Airlines tried to recover from the canceled friday flights and run a regular schedule too. For some that meant doubling the number of flights and there just werent enough gates and everything slowed to a crawl. The bottom line is that the overall performance in terms of getting passengers to gate getting them unloaded in a timely fashion was completely unacceptable. Reporter thousands of bags attest to that as does Lilly Crawford who saw it all, the thursday storm, the slowdown and broken pipe and still waiting to fly to china. Nobody can tell me and no one wants to give me an answer because they know theyll be wrong. Reporter there are more than 100 airlines here and most other airports have a half dozen, a dozen but there was a problem in communication, george. Passengers will pay for that again today. Lilly says shell get on a flight later today. You can see the problems cascade. Thanks very much. All right, george as david just mentioned the deep freeze likely to blame for that water main break but there is good news. That relentless recordbraking cold finally coming to an end. Ginger, dont have to tell you 13 days of below freezing temperatures. Longest stretch since, what 1961. 1961 in a place like raleigh, North Carolina that you think would be above freezing has been subfreezing for almost 200 hours there shattering records there too and this morning a little price to pay for the thawout. We have snow and ice falling from parts of eastern ohio through western pennsylvania schools are closed just south of louisville thanks to the ice. There are plenty of accidents on the roads in northern alabama. Look at this video out of missouri. This is what it looked like when you hit the pink on the radar. Thats how i attribute when people say what do the colors mean . That means pink on radar when you slip around on rides like that and you have that large stretch of a Flash Flood Warning in louisiana and new orleans and then itll come here this afternoon and evening right before we warm up to freezing just look out in the evening commute from philadelphia up through new york city. Robin. Discuss what you said warm up to freezing. All right thank you. Robin, we switch gears and get the latest from the bombshell book about the white house, fire and fury. Number one bestseller on amazon already reprinted several types and now trumps former top strategist steve bannon is trying to walk back some of his most explosive comments in the book. Our chief White House Correspondent jon karl in washington with the story. Good morning jon. Reporter good morning, george. It took several days but now steve bannon is apologizing or at least sort of apologizing for some of the comments he made to the author Michael Wolff. First the president declared steve bannon had lost his mind. Now the white house is slamming him as angry and vindictive. It reads like an angry, vindictive person spouting off to a highly discredible author. Reporter he is finally expressing regret but only for what he said about the president s eldest son. Donald trump jr. Is both a patriot and a good man, bannon said in a written statement. He has been relentless in his advocacy for his father and the agenda that has helped turn our country around. A far cry from what he told Michael Wolff. Specifically about the trump tower meeting that jump junior set up with Jared Kushner and then Campaign Manager paul manafort. With a russian lawyer said to have dirt on hillary clinton. In the book he is quoted suggesting it was treasonous and that congressional investigators are, quote, going to crack don junior like an egg on national tv. Now bannon is saying he has regrets. He doesnt use the word sorry. He doesnt use the word apology but hes tried to walk things back trying to preserve his viability as a leader of the conservative movement. Reporter the sort of mea culpa comes after the president blasted wolff and his, quote, fake book and came up with a new nickname for bannon over the weekend. I guess sloppy steve brought him into the white house quite a bit and it was one of those things. Thats why sloppy steve is now looking for a job. Reporter the president is also responding suggestions in the book that even some of his own top advisers consider him dumb and crazy. The president tweeting quote, throughout my life my two greatest assets have been mental stability and being like really smart. Calling himself, quote, a genius and a very stable genius at that. Bannon doesnt specifically dispute anything in the book and he doesnt apologize for many of his other disparaging comments including calling the president s daughter ivanka quote, dumb as a brick. The quasiapology is not going to go very far at the white house where bannon was once such a major force but he is now seen as a traitor. He sure is. Okay jon, meantime, its not from the book but axios is reporting new insight into the president s schedule behind the scenes. Reporter they got a look at his private schedule thenot the one thats public and beginning it at 11 00 coming into the oval office and big blocks of time for what is called executive time not a lot of meetings at least not on the schedule. And, george the president does have a busy day and a long day today, however, he is going to nashville, hes going to atlanta where hell be attending the National College football championship game. Okay jon, thanks very much. For more on it from matthew dowd. Our chief legal analyst dan abrams. Matt, let me begin with you. Steve bannon paying a price for his comments to Michael Wolff but hes not the only one in the book with these revelations and what you read on the page there is what weve been hearing from behind the scenes for a long time. I have to say every time i hear stable genius i smile because it feels like its tom smith, the horse trainer from seabiscuit when you talk about a stable genius. I think its an unbelievable break weve seen in this. I think that we havent seen a breakup in this kind of celebrity thing probably since dean martin and jerry lewis, probably going to take years to fix. And i think the president is as you watched him, his behavior has only confirmed what all those people on the record and off the record said in the book. All these questions about the president s mental capacity and Michael Wolff said yesterday some of these aides talk about invoking the 25th amendment but thats pretty farfetched. As a legal matter the 25th amendment is a liberal pipe dream. It was enacted postjohn kennedy being shot and the fear was this could be a president who is in a coma, what are we going to do . Some are going to say this is the same okay as a procedural matter its harder than impeachment. You have to get a majority of the cabinet and twothirds. First you have to get the Vice President and majority of the cabinet. If the president then objects to that you have to get twothirds of the house and senate with impeachment you only need the majority of the house so if the president is going to be kicked out of office based on a constitutional principle, its going to be impeachment. Its not going to be the 25th amendment. Meantime, one of the things were seeing is new reporting out, Robert Mueller and his special counsel investigation focusing more on obstruction of justice, thats going to raise the question of is mueller going to ask the president for an interview. Will the president grant it . I think mueller is going to ask the president for an interview and i dont think the president is going to grant it. My guess is his lawyers will offer to submit some sort of written statement, something that assures them that he didnt do anything wrong. Thats not what mueller wants. Mueller doesnt want some statement from the president but sit across the table or have one of his investigators do it ask him questions, see what the responses are, follow up with additional questions and be able to ask about any topic that they want. In my view theres no way thats going to happen. Well see. Before we go i got to ask oprah 2020, all over twitter last night after that speech. She says shes not interested at all but if she were to get in the next day shed probably be leading the fight for the democratic nomination. Shed be leading the democratic ticket and ive learned in the last 18 months two years never to discount anybody. I think oprah has to decide where her power is president as a pastor of the country and has to make that decision. We will be watching. Thanks to you both very much. Robin. Okay george and now well move on because President Trump also is closely watching highstakes talking between north and south korea. Trump expressing hope something good will come out of the meet ago mid tensions over the norths nuclear program. Our chief Global Affairs reporter Martha Raddatz is in seoul, south korea, with more. Good morning martha. Reporter good morning, robin. These will be the first highlevel talks between the north and south this more than two years. The talks will be held at the socalled truce village on the borer between north and south korea. The topic of the meeting will be limited to the norths participation in the upcoming Olympic Games but it is an important step. On the face of it these talks have nothing to do with the Nuclear Standoff between the u. S. And north korea. But on saturday despite what he has said in the past President Trump said that he would be willing to talk by phone to kim jongun. A statement clarified by u. N. Ambassador nikki haley on this week with george . What he has basically said is yes, there could be a time where we talk to north korea but a lot of things have to happen before that actually takes place. They have to stop testing. They have to be willing to talk about banning their nuclear weapons. Reporter kim says they are not willing to do that but it is doubtful he will test a missile in the next few days since it would jeopardize the talks about the olympics but there is no telling what he will do once the talks are over. Robin. Theres always no telling what hes going to do. Would you allow me to switch gears for a minute. Who dat, who dat going to beat them saints. I have to do that. It was a heartpounding finish. The saints my beloved new Orleans Saints taking on the Carolina Panthers and carolina still had a chance with time running out but this sack sealed the deal and new orleans marching on to minnesota. Yes, they are going to face the vikings in the next round of the playoffs and like we need a reason to celebrate when youre part of what dat nation. Did i take to the streets in new york.

More to discussed we have beenng about didnt know what to expect. First awards season and first awards show of the season. What did you think . I thought they threaded the needle incredibly well. Most of these shows they can be selfabsorbed affair answer when the discussion came up and knew they would wear plaque i wasnt sure how it would work. It was done incredibly deftly and i thought the comments made were fantastic. Having the activists there to connect what is a very sort of hollywood event to the broader public and how this means something to you, very well done and that theme was i thought hammed very very smooth think through the show. Oprah, of course stole the show. I mean her level her degree tell a story where she set things out about being the linoleum on the floor in the apartment in milwaukee and citing recy taylor whose accusers were never brought to justice, incredibly powerful speech and people are joking about it. I think the 2020 president ial Campaign Began we elected a Reality Television star. Shes richer and better tv star and knows the american public. Im saying she as george alluded to shes consistently said thats not something is of interest to her, but, yes, all those things could change but even if she does not run for vement in this movement. Absolutely and she galvanized it. Again, with the level of detail and connecting it not just in hollyw to everybody out there to restaurant workers and Office Workers and people who work in bars or whatever she knew exactly who the audience was and knew they were watching say, how does this affect me and she told them how it affects her. How does this affect the oscars Going Forward . The board of directors board of governors thought maybe they had no idea what was going to happen when ousted Harvey Weinstein so quickly and then all of these other men who have now faced similar allegations and now they dont know what to do.

It will be interesting to sf the puo hear these kind of speeches two months from now. Will they do black of free things up fashionwise so that remains to be seen. But i dont think the really is worrying that much. There may be some individuals worried about the Harvey Weinstein thing and who is next but i dont think its a great concern to them. If someone has committed things akin to what Harvey Weinstein has ddemy will deal with them as inside baseball as well. Some people thought, oh with wearing black and all that it was going to be a occasion. That was not the case. Erycelebratory. It was veryiola davis said when you have purpose it makes all the difference . Operating at least fashion wise within that narrow band interesting. How do the oscars come back after this.

The biggest winner last night at the Golden Globes the me too and times up movement. Awards season kicking off with a major spotlight on Sexual Harassment and inequality. Stars using their platform to show their support and lahr what was backstage for it all. Hey there. Hey, robin. Youll notice today something missing. Sunday night it was not a about what color and why. Hollywoods biggest stars creating a blackout on the red carpet in solidarity using their power and their voices for change. As oprah said speech a new day is on the horizon. Message of the night was loud and clear. Hollywoods biggest stars speaking up about Sexual Harassment and assault in hollywood. Times up on Sexual Harassment, times up on homophobia on transphobia on racism, times up on all of it. Any kind of unfairness or people feeling unsafe or vulnerable is absolutely unacceptable. Sending a loud and clear message that gender inequality will no longer be tolerated. Trust me the women in this room tonight are not here for the food. We are here for the work. I do believe and i hope we can elicit change through the stories we tell and the way we tell them. Lets keep the conversation alive. Reporter Oprah Winfrey bringing down the house. As she spoke directly to the little girls watching at home. In my career what ive always tried my best to do, whether on television or through film is to Say Something about how men and women really behave to say how we experience shame, how we love and how we rage how we fail how we retreat, persevere and how we overcome. So i want all the girls watching here now to know that a new day is on the horizon. 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. Reporter with all of hollywood inspired by her words. There is a movement afoot back here oprah 2020. Im not kidding. I am all about oprah 2020. Honestly president winfrey is just sounds good. Sounds right. Just rolls off the tongue. How is the Immediate Reaction online . Just please run. Please. Pleaserun. Reporter even though the night tackled tough themes the stars still managed to relax backstage. Im just going to leave this and take the rose. You know what, i will take that too in okay great. Great. Cheers. The nights big winners sharing their acceptance speech hits and misses. I pulled out a piece of paper. You can see it. You forgot mom and dad, i forgot my amazing agent rhonda price who i really think is amazing. Hi, oprah. Wow. That moment going viral on twitter. I looked up and oprah was there and then i forgot everyone that i am supposed to say thank you to. What are you going to do . Its oprah . Thats what i mean. The female nomdominated cast of Big Little Lies speculating on whats next tore their show. Are we calling it Big Little Lies 2 or Big Little Lies again . Bigger little lies. Reporter more seriously on the future of hollywood. This show has been like nothing ive ever seen before. Ive never seen this show of solidarity from a group of women and the men who support them and encourage them. Great time backstage and Elisabeth Moss shared with us the dior gown are all being auctioned off for the times up Legal Defense fund. Organizers by the way have already raised nearly 16 million and counting on their go fund me page. Robin and george back to you from me in los angeles. Great job as always lara. Black was the color on the red carpet. The stars making that statement showing solidarity and here to talk about it is glamours magazine in chief and our good friend, cindi leive. Thank you. [ applause ] i got to say im loving were not doing who wore best and, you know, judging people by what any wore and all that. This is refreshing. 100 and i think that was part of the point of the times up movement to wear black. It took women i love the red carpet as much as the next person i edit a fashion magazine but theres always this vaguely competitive feeling for actresses that who wore it better. Top ten and bottom ten looks and i think this said, women are not here to compete with one another. We are standing together you know we are linked instead of being ranked and i think thats an incredibly powerful message. We saw that with the men as well because they would wear they had their black tuxes but wear black shirts. We saw that more so. Many did and the times up pips. And the pin too. We saw a lot of jumpsuits and pantsuits. Not an accident. I mean a couple of red carpet claire foy and alison brie both said when they were asked about their look well, im literally wearing the pants. Its a way of saying as far away from that traditional princess sort of cupcake you sometimes see on the red carpet as you can get. Women were here to Say Something and they were there to work. And we also saw act i haves that were there as guests. You know thatarana ted the me too movement more than a decade ago. Did you see her with tears in her eyes as oprah was speaking . I thought that was really beautiful to see the movement that she started become such an incredible thing around the world. How worn was it to have these activists there with everyone on the red carpet and there at the globes. I think it was really important because it forced a completely different conversation on the red carpet. I mean otherwise it could have been just a conversation about a black dress instead of a red dress, right . This really forced reporters to talk about the issues. It allowed women in hollywood who i think, you know feel sometimes embarrassed to be activists because there is occasionally this feeling of we know were so 3ri6edprivileged. Is it really right for us to talk about this. Theres a way for them to say were using the lifeght that is shone upon us. Going forward what, do you think well see . You know we have our awards shows coming up. I do not think this is going away. I dont think that means everybody will wear all black to every awards show. Who knows. I could be proven wrong but the s. A. G. Awards are two weeks from yesterday with all female presenters and it is on the oneyear anniversary of the womens march. So, my bet is that youre going to see a lot of significance on womens issues. And i think thats wonderful. This cant go away. We could talk about more than fashion with you, cindi. I love that. I love that. Fashion and. Fashion and. Fashion and. Yes. Fashion and. This wasnt an antifashion movement. They were taking fashion and putting it at the center. Very true. All right, cindi thank you. To ginger. Lets d maybe this will happen to you music riwhen that music starts baby elliot starts going for it. Look at this. Watch watch. Thats what were waiting for. Lets get a check closer to home. Reporter i love those moments. Storm tracker 6 live double scan, we are dry heading outside, were cold with temperatures in the 20s and low 20s upper teens right now. You can see clouds filter in a little bit. Ice on the river. The exclusive accuweather sevenday forecast shows a look out afternoon. We have a Winter Weather advisory after 1 00 p. M. That kicks in and goes until 9 00 p. M. Tonight. During that period we could see light rain that could turn out to be freezing rain and sleet. You have to be careful when its raining, because it could be icing. Pulling the curtain back with adults pretending to be students. I know you say youd never want to go back. Many wonder what would it be like to go to high school knowing what you know today as adults. Thats the premise of this experiment. Young adults revisiting their teen years undercover to find out what todays kids are dealing with. On the surface undercover high seems to be ripped from the pages of a hollywood movie. My name is josie. Reporter from drew barrymores never been kissed. Where you going. To high school. Reporter to 21 jump street. You are going in as Undercover High School students. Reporter but the 20 somethings undercover in this high school didnt committee it fight crime but here for an intimate inside look at the american teen discovering the challenges and complexities. You got a student walkout. Rebellion. Reporter both new and old. Theyre probably going to be a nude on facebook tonight. What was the idea behind it. We felt like Public Education in america wasnt being talked about. It was really how do you pierce the teen bubble. Reporter in the show the young adults ages 21 to 26 go back to school for a semester. You can sit anywhere. Reporter and make friends. Jordan. Whats your name . You can call me shawn. Reporter their true identities unknown to the faculty and even to each other. You were one of the fouad there ares to know what was really going on. Yes. Were you worried at any point this could blow up. Well i wont say worried but i will say aware. Reporter transforming wasnt easy for the young participants. When i was in high school i was bullied and it was because i was gay so my biggest fear coming into this project was reopening those doors that i had locked and put away so many years ago. Those wounds. Yes. What did you notice that was different right away from your experience i high school . The focus on who are you. Who are you on somebody . Was that the biggest change you guys noticed that social media has such a presence. It doesnt end at school. It continues, you know when you go home and its so youre basically being judged twice, twice as much and all day every day. Yet they say the experience allowed them to help some students throughout a difficult time in their lives. When i see a student that has potential, the pastor comes out and just wants to say, you got something. Like you have this thing. It was so hard to hold back who i really was. To not be an adult. To not be the adult. My friendships were all real. We were going into this to help them, to raise awareness, to make a difference in not just this school but all the schools in this country. Reporter for some of the students the experience though initially shocking when it was over i was a little mad just because like how close we were getting. Reporter helped them mature they say in ways they didnt expect. You want to go into education because you did this program. They really helped me a lot. I feel like a completely different person starting the show till now. Reporter many of the unsuspecting teens opened up during the period and young adults also came to terms with some of their former les, george steams everybody learned something in this project, of course, undercover high premieres tomorrow on a e. How did they do on the exams. Some said it was a little tough. By the way, one more thing, go dogs. I you had to get that in. Were coming back. Good morning 8 27 a. M.

Shes there in hotlanta at the stadium where the College National football championship will be. Hey there, amy. Hey, robin. I have with me basically a god here for georgia football. Former uga and nfl legend the one, the only Herschel Walker thank you for being with us and we just heard 1980, the last time uga took home a national title. You were on that team. So this has got to be an amazing moment for you then we know that bama has going for its second National Championship in three years so for people who are at home who might not be big football fans talk us through the key points of tonights game did well the key point is going to be youre going to see a prototype of each other. These two peoples are very similar. Very well coached. Very have a lot of athletic people on the team and so theyll see the same team because alabama and georgia, they play the same type of football, very physical and being in the s. E. C. I think people got excited to see. Its going to be such a game and the coach something such a big part. The mentee versus the mentor. Talk about that rivalry and how it might may out on the feel. The way itll play out. Youll see two defensive team these two teams got very very good defenses and i think one of the things is going to make the difference is i think georgia having to run a game that georgia got but at the same time alabama got such a great defensive front so may see something a little different on the georgia team. I would love to see them throw the ball to show everyone that fromm can throw. He can throw and you mentioned sony michel and nick chumm . Jalen hurts, seeing what he can do. People dont give him the credit he deserves so that alabama hes going to be somebody you watch out for and people are going to be surprised at the speed georgia has on their defense. Georgia got a lot of speed on defense and i told someone early on i think youll look at alabama, very strong, very big, but youre going to look at georgia thats very fast so you got speed answer strength and were going to see what will happen. From one uga legend to another i got to bring in this here this is uga, one of the most well he is the most wellknown mascot. Uga 10. You had uga 4 at the Heisman Trophy award with me so i was with uga 4. Herschel walker who is going to win tonight . Georgia. Of course you heard it here. Go, dogs. Herschel. Amy.

They beat auburn and auburn is the team that both georgia and alabama lost to so theyre starting a Little Campaign so to show you that little moment. Give them a little love. Well see whappe move on to las vegas where theyre host the super bowl the techn world. Electronics world starts tomorrow and rebecca w at what see in 2018 and d yes, this is one of the big new breaks they are at ces, the airband about the size of an apple watch and it can detect pollution and toxins in the environment realtime and i want to give you a sense of that. This is a bottle of ammonia. Many people in their household products will have ammonia in their household products.

Good morning, george. Quite the homecoming for jennifer, alex and i, really an amazing trip. They both told us they wanted to be here. The first time weve come down since the two devastating hurricanes. Both of them telling us yesterday they wanted to lend their voices to people that they feel have been forgotten. I stand here today in black doing the same from far away and its the same thing with here in puerto rico. We want to be treated equally. [ applause ] reporter as some of hollywoods brightest stars wore black in solidarity on the Golden Globes Jennifer Lopez joined in over 3,000 miles away in puerto rico. Accompanied by her boyfriend Alex Rodriguez. I could have been there but i wanted to be here. I chose to be here. I was look okay im here. I want you guys to know im dressed in black too even though im far away in puerto rico. Reporter the island ravaged by hurricanes irma and maria last september. The storm destroying countless homes, leaving Many Americans without power and running water. Even to this day. Im a little bit scared what im going to say. Reporter we flew to puerto rico 109 days after maria to see how its recovering. Everybody is busy. We all have tons of things were doing and whats important is to follow up and see with our own eyes. This is the first time you have both been back to the island since hurricane maria. When we flew in we saw all the blue tarps on the roofs, which is an indication that the roofs havent been fixed yet. We had high hopes that you know, it was going to be further along than it is. But theres still a lot of work to be done. Tonight here we are as one voice. Reporter back in october jennifer and other celebrities raising 25 million in a telethon on this trip allocating funds to some of the islands most devastated residents. I remember right when the hurricane happened and you guys were talking about the big efforts you wanted to do. I would wake up and she would be crying looking at social media and i know that you guys were looking for some family members and you sent security down here and thank god that you found them. But, look i mean one thing is to raise money, the other thing is to actually fly down here feel the warmth of the people see the beauty of this island. We just want to be treated equally. Were americans. Were here to kind of shine a light and let everybody know like he said were in our first inning. We have a long way to go. Hello. Reporter on the ground we visited a Womens Health center responsible for delivering hundreds of babies after maria. Equal Health Care Access a cause close to jennifer and alexs hearts. Its personal to me because i come from a single mother and i know how difficult it is to be a single mother with you know two siblings and she took care of all three of us. She had two jobs. I see jennifer who has probably i dont know ten jobs and is the best mother ive ever met. Reporter this home of an elderly man desperately needing a new roof. The home of this man till with a hole in the roof. We have one of blue fema tarps covering this. He has no front door. Its leaning right here on the wall of his home and theyve been without power in this home since hurricane maria. Overcome with emotion after learning some of the relief money will help replace that blue tarp. What does it feel like to feel like you can do that for him . You know its funny, you get you do what you can and you know you hope its going to help. Reporter through it all amidst the devastation, this morning, the island is resilient and many hopeful. So in one word whats your emotional state at the end of the day after meeting all these people and seeing what youve seen . I feel hopeful. I feel hopeful. I feel that they gave me hope. Reporter and theres that puerto rican spirit we know so well and, you know that was the kind of joy we saw all over the island yesterday. There was one woman in particular who really stuck with us. She hasnt had power since Hurricane Irma so since before hurricane maria. We traveled home with her last night. Her entire community is blank keted in darkness. All you hear there at night is this constant hum of generators and thats a pretty common thing across the island where roughly about half of the people still dont have power and a lot of the water is still undrinkable but one thing they dont lack here is resilience. Boy, that is so hard to hear right now with the shortage of power still. I know you had a chance to drive all over the island. What were the conditions like generally . You know i would say slowly coming back. One of the things that really struck stood out to us as we drove around we drove around one neighborhood where there was one working stoplight but the greenery is coming back which wasnt here right after the hurricane and one resident the way he put it to us was Mother Nature is recovering even a little faster than the Puerto Ricans on the island.
