Fired up. Alert and ready. 2017 going to be a great challenge but an exciting time. As you wake up in the west 115th congress will soon be sworn in at the u. S. Capital. Republican control the house and senate when president elect Trump Takes Office it will be the first time in a decade the gop is in charge of congress and white house. House republicans made ethics oversight their first piece of business. They voted to put the independent watch dog under the control of a republicanled committee. Nancy has details of last nights controversial vote. Republicans say they were simply responding to complaints from some lawmakers who say they were unfairly targeted. Democrats called the surprise move crippling and said it will make it more difficult for congress to police itself. The measure was proposed by chairman bob good lat. It reins in a watch dog put in place in 2008 after an investigation of republican lobbiests led to his conviction and exposed a ring of corruption. Democratic leader nancy pelosi released a statement saying republicans claim they want to drain the swamp but the amendment republicans approve tonight would destroy his office. Even House Speaker paul ryan spoke out against the measure which would rename the office of congressional ethics the office of congressional Complaint Review barring it from investigating anonymous tips and giving a separate Ethics Committee the power to end any investigation of the colleagues. Republicans are moving ahead with plans to dismantle obama care holding votes this week on a bill to make it easier to repeal the entire Health Care Law within the next month or so. Georgia congressman what we have seen so much with obama care is what has happened is what sounded good turned out to be a disaster. Democrats say the disaster will be if millions of americans lose their insurance. Its never been reasonable to repeal it without a plan to replace it. Republicans are looking to quickly roll back other obama initiatives like the doddfrank wall street reform package put in place after the financial crisis and various energy, environmental and labor regulations. Act today, a bill making it easier to sweep away a bundle of new regulations all at once. Were just simply saying youre not going to be able to do this in the under cover of agencies with people not having the input and knowing what happened. 34 senators and the entire house of representatives will be sworn in today. Democrats made slight gains in both changes in novembers election. But they are still outnumbered, charlie, by a few seats in the senate. And by nearly 50 seats in the house. Thanks, nancy. Republican strategist and cbs news contributor frank luntz is also on capitol hill. Frank, good to have you. Thank you. So, tell me what you think republicans are about in terms of reining in the Ethics Committee . What i dont understand is why the first thing they would do would in any way undermine the perception of accountability which is the number one value that American People want to see in congress. They should be talking about health care. They should be talking about taxes. Having a discussion that we are right now on ethics is not good for anybody. The reason why theyre doing it is the poison that exists here. The feeling that members of congress can be accused of anything and they dont have due process. What is to say about the pow power and not get side tracked. You have spoken with members of both parties. What is the mood on both sides . Serious questioning. No one knows what to do. On the republican side are they going to come together and complete the agenda that they ran on . They made an awful lot of promises that they have to deliver. On the democratic side the question is whether to fight recollect compromise or do some of both . Turning to democrats what are they going to do in terms of trying to approve or stop nominees of the president elect . On the senate side they have had a number of conversations in the last 24 hours. You have about ten democrats that are willing to work with President Trump not just on the nominees but on other issues. They are nervous that they are going to be attacked by the base, that they are going to be attacked by Bernie Sanders and his supporters. So if i were advising them i would tell them to pick one or two of the trump nominees to focus on and dont just simply pose because the American People wont appreciate it when you are elected president you get to have your cabinet but if there are one or two people who arent qualified or capable we have conflicts of interest hold them accountable and not the entire cabinet nominee. Is that likely to be rex tillerson. Unions want to take on the secretary of labor nominee. Different people want to take on different individuals. In the end i predict that all of them will pass. But i think you will see three or four that will have a very rough time over the next four to six weeks. Talk about obama care. The president elect has promised to repeal obama care yet data from the wall street journal indicates that a lot of people supported donald trump also depend on obama care. Doesnt that create problems for him . The challenge here and this is the number one issue where the republicans voted for donald trump to repeal it and independents want parts of it to remain and the two parts that matter most are able to stay on their parents plan until they are 26. The question is if you repeal it have you done what conservative republicans want you to do by changing the Health Care Law . New year, new beard. Is this a new you . And for norra i wore a very plain boring jacket. Im trying. I dont want boring. I just want matching. I love it. Thanks. Great to see you. Got it. Travelers returning from overseas vacations face long lines and frustrations that major airports across the country last night. A computer failure forced arriving passengers to wait hours. The line at Miami International airport backed up through the terminal. The outage effected at least seven u. S. Airports including jfk international. An update, good morning to you. Good morning. Things are back to normal here at International Arrivals at jfk. Officials trying to figure out what went wrong. This we do know. For passengers traveling home from holiday trips overseas this was not a good start to the new year. This was the scene at hard hit Miami International airport. Passengers who had just spent hours in the air stood for hours more in crowded lines all because of a computer shutdown which delayed their processing by customs. It was insane like a line of a thousand people or more. It was absolutely despicable. Reporter passenger John Phillips posted videos of the chaos to twitter prompting a response by the Miami International airport. Thanks for your patience. Customs and Border Protection is aware of the situation and handling. Phillips responded hardly. No information, no regulation, no water. Shameful. Around 10 00 p. M. Eastern time Miami International tweeted this, system up and running will take time for passengers to be processed. Many airports aeffected tonight. Among those others experiencing similar delays were airports in atlanta, boston, los angeles and here in new york city where passengers say they were stuck in the airport for hours. It was a nightmare. Officers continue to process International Travelers using alternative procedures it issued a statement there is no indication the Service Disruption was malicious in nature. In miami one passenger said she had no idea what was waiting for her when she landed. They told us that we would have been prepared. There is no indication that this was the result of attack. Customs and Border Protection insists it had access to all of its National Security databases and that all passengers were screened according to procedures. Thanks. Expect more Severe Weather after a deadly storm system. Violent weather left a trail of damage and flooding and knocked out power to tens of thousands of people. At least five people were killed in alabama and florida. The National Weather service has reports of about a dozen tornadoes. Fast moving systems swept across gulf coast states. Four people died in alabama and the damage is widespread. Reporter good morning. This storm packed quite a punch and proved deadly to the family behind me. There is a lot of tall trees in the area.

Volunteers helped clean up broken glass and boarded up windows at this Subway Sandwich shop. Like Something Like that. Reporter in another part of the city strong winds ripped a pair of trees from the ground. Hit the second tree. And the whole house shook. The Alabama Gulf Coast Zoo had to evacuate its animals after the force of the storm tore the enclosures apart. About 30 feet of that is protected down and it disappeared and gone away. In mount olive mississippi semi trucks were toppled. I am definitely not going out in this one. Pounding rain in the Florida Panhandle was dangerous lighting knocking out trees and one person drowned. Schools in the area are closed today and many people are going to spend the day cleaning up.
