To sit down and make that deal, i think we would be happy to get that done. The media is going nuclear, why . Because your president dared to stand up to the north korean dictator kim jong un who is threatening us. Its just classic trump. It is at another level because we are talking about nuclear war. Sitting in the hall of fame yeah and the worlds going to know your name yeah. Steve live in new york where its not the best day of the year so far, january 4th, 2018. Its a thursday. Welcome aboard. Brian weatherwise its not going to be the best day of the year it might be a day we always remember. We could always have a good day indoors. Ainsley lets make the best of it. Although its always sad when people live without their heat. Have you had deaths because people dont know how to deal with extreme weather in the south. Kids get out of school and they love the sledding. These are states that rarely see snow. Every now and then its nice when you have places like tallahassee florida or charleston, South Carolina. Steve they are waking up thinking what is that . Brian is every sled a flexible fire or do they have other brands . Ainsley im about to get to that stage when do i start sledding with hayden. Brian when you get a candle and wackets the blades. Steve in college we would take the cafeteria trays. Ainsley yes, we did that too. Steve go down the hill way too fast. Brian would you take them back, the trays . I dont think he is. Steve it was college, brian. Thanks for joining us on this thursday. And we start with a bulletin talking about the weather. A massive winter storm is actually hammering the east coast as we speak. Dumping snow and unleashing Hurricane Force winds. Winds above 75 Miles Per Hour. Forecast just got worse overnight for millions of people in the path of this big storm more than 3,000 flights have been cancelled or delayed nationwide. Number is expected to go up. The charleston airport in South Carolina shut down. Inches of snow and ice covered the runways. Brian always about ainsleys state. More than 25,000 feel living near the virginia coast. No power. The National Guard is there and ready to help. Over a dozen states now under a blizzard warning. Including florida for the first time in 35 years getting snow. Janice dean live on the plaza where the focus for the first time in a long time is not the new york giants. Its about the new york weather. Janice this is our super bowl. It might not be their super bowl, unfortunately. But go giants. All right. So the snow has started here in new york city. Yes, the snow totals have gone up. But we said that yesterday that if the storm moved a little bit more to the west, we would be dealing with higher snowfall totals. Thats exactly what happened overnight. So 48 inches here in the city, parts of long island, eastern long island could get upwards of 18 inches. Up towards boston and new england. Then, of course, the winds, this storm system is very strong. Very strong wind field. Already 49 mileperhour winds. This storm hasnt even gotten its act together and we are already seeing at least Tropical Storm force winds. As you mentioned blizzard warnings have been posted coastal North Carolina up towards delmarva, parts of new jersey, long island, up towards boston and maine. So blizzard warning, meaning the conditions are deteriorating. Were going to see visibility less than a quarter of a mile. And wind gusts in excess of 35 Miles Per Hour for the duration of at least three hours. This storm is going to be with us throughout the day today. So thats why nonessential workers need to stay home. People need to stay off the roads. Were going to see a lot of snow and a lot of wind really for the next six to 12 to 18 hours. Even witwhen the storm is done e are going to be dealing with the potential for very strong winds. Look at these snow totals. Really up the forecast here for places Atlantic City, long island. Boston could see a foot or more i also want to make mention, guys, once this storm is over, temperatures are going to drop like a rock. As we head into the weekend, say new york city, mine news one as the low. So if you are without power along the coast with Hurricane Force winds thats very possible. You need to know what to do to get warm because we are going to be dealing with extreme cold as we head into the weekend. Back to you. Steve indeed. Like we started this program today not the best day of the year weatherwise. Janice, thank you very much. Janice you got it. Steve live reports throughout the morning. Brian first story from really inside the white house, plus 200 plus days that was what michael wolfs position was. A reporter he has written a few other books out there. He won the he got the president s interest originally when he came out against the New York Times when the New York Times in michael wolfs mind and of course President Trumps mind was being unfair to him, he did give an interview to the president fire fewer i didnt book. For the most he seems to be in the white house quite often. Releasereleased this book inside the trump house fire and fury on 200 interviews. Most of those interviews were in and around steve bannon and his views of the world. Steve bannon evidently was picking up the phone, urging people to cooperate with michael wolf. Ainsley in that book the left is having a hay day with this. Steve bannon who was there fired from the white house, no longer works there with the president s administration. In that book he was talking about that meeting that Jared Kushner had with the russian lawyer at trump tower. Bannon in the book allegedly he says that was treasonous and unpatriotic. Steve the white house reaction from Sarah Huckabee sanders yesterday, she called it trashy tabloid fiction filled with false and misleading accounts. She also said that the president of the United States when he found out about it was furious. Of course, the question is whether or not it is accurate. Its interesting, john who is writing on the payments of the New York Post this morning talks about mr. Wolf, who wrote the book, and says that he is a solid reporter and he weaves solid reporting with errant speculation and its impossible to tell whats true from whats too good to be true. For instance, he does cite the time in the book where apparently donald trump didnt know reportedly who john boehner was, which was crazy because he spoke to him and tweeted about him all the time and even played golf with him. So some are wondering whether or not a lot of these sources who have been at the white house have actions taxaxes to grind. Ainsley in the book it talks about how melania cried not tears of joy when he won. Steve bad about everybody. Ainsley the president is steamed about this. He says steve bannon has nothing to do with me or my presidency. When he was fired, he not only lost his job, he lost his mind. Steve was a staff who worked for me after i had already won the nomination by defeating 17 candidates. Steve doesnt represent my base. He is only in it for himself. Brian everyone was just stunned by this. Because most people did not know what to make of steve bannon when he came onto the scene nationally. And then they heard he was this trump whisperer and he really had the mind set of the president. And then he was really marginalized in the white house and his exit was eminent for the longest time. Then they finally parted ways. For the most part has been backing the president and backing loser candidates like senator roy moore and led the president down a couple pathways that didnt benefit the party or him. Steve bannon last night after being basically characterized by the president as unserious candidate, engaged in this effort mainly of his own ego said this on his own radio show to a caller who called up about the book. The president of the United States is a great man. I support him day in day out. Given the trump miracle speech or on the show or on the web sites. I appreciate the kind words. Steve what explains out kind words . Abc had a news bulletin last night where they said that mr. Bannon was served with papers last night from mr. Trumps attorneys that said cease and desist. Reminded him that when he worked for the candidate, and the campaign, everybody on the campaign signed a nondisclosure agreement and nondisparagement agreement. And this would count as that they went on to say that apparently legal action is imminent. Here is Mike Huckabee who tries to put it all in to perspective. Well, its disappointing. In part, because just a few days ago steve bannon was considered by the press to be the unhinged, he is crazy. Hes a wild man. Suddenly, this guy, michael wolf quotes him in a book saying terrible things about President Trump and now hes a hero. Bottom line is this. There are two things you give to someone when you are hired in a political context. You give them loyalty and you give them confidentiality. Those are the two virtues that are more important than anything else you can bring. There have been a number of people who came out and they didnt go out and trash the president or the other people they worked with at the white house. Steve i should point out i talked to steve bannon last night and asked him if he would like to come on the program he declined. Brian did he say anything interesting to move this story forward . Steve off the record, not really. Didnt confirm any of that stuff. 6 10 in new york city. We have lots to talk about this morning. Jillian joins us with headlines. Jillian good morning to you. Get you caught up with the headlines. Starts with the bonechilling Winter Weather sweeping much much the nation responsible for derailing amtrak train carrying 300 people overnight. Frozen switch caused three cars to slip off the tracks while pulling into a savanna train station. The train was able to continue on to new york city. The coast guard searching for a plane that mysteriously vanished over the gulf of mexico. The single engine plane took off from airport in Oklahoma City bound for another small airports near austin. It never played it this y flight path shows the plane heading past where it was supposed to land in texas and straight over the water. Thats when pilot stopped responding to air traffic control. Firefighters rushing to the home of bill and Hillary Clinton. A small fire breaking out second floor of secret Service Facility on their property chappaqua, new york north of manhattan. The structure is not attached to their house and the clintons were not home at the time. The cause of the fire is still unclear. No one was hurt. The Powerball Jackpot surging overnight to more than half a billion dollars. No one won last night, so you still have a chance. Grand prize jumping to 550 million. The 8th largest lottery prize ever. The next drawing is saturday. 418milliondollar Mega Millions drawing is tomorrow combined the jackpots are a recordsetting 968 million. Ainsley exciting. Steve if you missed out on bit coin you could still get rich. Brian President Trump putting north korea on notice but thats not okay. Hes not merely beginning cavalier with a threat about nuclear war. Is he being cavalier in a way that makes him seem demented and deranged. None of this normal or acceptable none of this frankly stable behavior. Brian what is so wrong with standing up to a dictator all of the suddennen . House intelligence member will herd live in studio or else he wouldnt be behind our set. Steve they think violence is necessary, why is one of the top guys of the dnc promoting the antifa moment. We will tell you his story coming up. Should americans be concerned about the president s Mental Fitness that he appears to be speak so lightly about threats regarding nuclear button. Is he not merely being cavalier with a threat about nuclear war, he is being threat in a i think that makes him seem demeant would and deranged. None of this acceptable behavior. Should be medicine caughted and hospitalized at this point or he is just going to kill all of us, and, you know, my feeling is probably they are getting closer to him in the Mueller Investigation. And thats what this is about. A lot of it. Brian why she still on television . Here to react to the media outrage is g. O. P. Congressman former cia officer will herd he sits on the Intel Committee and weighs in. President going directly at kim jong un who is clearly unstable and American Media commentators and socalled journalists are going at our president. Is that unhealthy . Heres one of the things i have learned as an undercover officer in the cia i was one of the guys in the back alley 4 00 in the morning. Be nice with nice guys and tough with tough guys. We have to look at what is actually happening. The fact that north korea picked up the phone and called south korea to start a dialogue, thats a big deal. Thats a good thing in order to resolve this escalation of tension with diplomacy. The fact that the north koreans are talking about joining the olympics and pank in the olympics is a big deal. The fact that we have china working with us on sanctions against north korea, a year ago nobody thought that was possible. So, you may not like the tactics, but the actions and what those tactics are producing and we got to say its been successful. Brian find reports that the Army Officers on the north side are allowed to leave their post to hunt for food. When we see defectors come in under northbounded and full of bacteria, it shows there is a suffering on the inside that might force something to happen. Kim jong un is interested in one thing and one thing only and thats staying in power. He will do anything to do that. He has already proven he is willing to kill his own people. He has already proven that he is willing to assassinate his own family members. He is the person that may not be fit for office. Brian something thats catching the iranian government by surprise and maybe our intelligence agencies is this uprising in iran. Its happening in the rural areas among young people not in the major cities. What stands out for you and what should the American People know about this . American people should know in is is iranian people saying they are sick and tired of their government. One of the things i wish was happening is more folks in the media covering the president s tweets on this topic. The fact that he is standing up with and standing side by side with the iranian people and not the iranian government. What makes this a little bit different than 2009 is more places in the country of iran, it started in some of the rural areas, what you are seeing getting reports that Security Officials are starting to join the protesters. This is what happened in 1989 when nicholai was opposed in two weeks when the Security Forces start working with the people can you see some change happen. Brian expossibly of the budget how much money going to terror and not this to them want stand up for human rights and quality of life. European get involved instead they are sitting on the sidelines. I wish our friends in u. K. , france, and germany would follow President Trumps lead. I wish they would follow Vice President s pences lead and talk about how they are standing up for the iranian people. We need to amplify the message of the iranian people. Iranian government is trying to crack down on the internet. Trying to prevent them getting out whats really happening in that country, all of us in the rest of the world need to be broadcasting back in what they cant broadcast themselves in iran. Thats an Important Initiative and thats why im glad that h. R. Mcmaster and Vice President pence went on board to tell the American People. Brian ultimately the american president will be judged by results. Thats how we want it. Good to see you. Good to see you. Brian good luck braving the weather in new york. Speaking of protests in iran women taking to the streets to fight for freedom. Tommy larnl wants to know where all the women here are in the u. S.
