Thats a lot of particulars youre taking away. Fair enough. Iconic ringling brothers Barnum Bailey sir cultural gone forever. Players and spectators stampeded for the doors. All that the white van overturned. A group of people came together to flip it upright. Its unclear what caused the crash. The steelers come into kansas and beat them on the road. And all that matters people talk when we went on vacation, people were like, spending taxpayer money no, no. I pay for all of it. We buy our own toilet paper in the white house. Its not free.

Omar villafranca is in oklahoma which is covered in ice. Omar, good morning. Reporter good morning. That storm rolled across texas and into oklahoma and brought with it freezing rain that coated power lines and trees like this one behind me. It looks like its a tree made of glass, but let me show you what were dealing with. Its actually ice, about a half inch up to an inch thick. This storm basically crippled the area and left millions at a standstill. Overnight storms pounded texas bringing heavy rains, flooding, and tornadoes. Whoa. Reporter two touched down south of dallas. Heavy winds near one damaged a hangar at the Grand Prairie airport. Further north, ice more than an inch thick in some places crippled parts of the great plains in the midwest, crushing trees, cracking power lines, and disabling cars. It covered up my pickup, come covered up our car, neighbors van. Been digging ever since. Reporter battered by freezing rain and snow, leaving thousands of people without power.

Gayle . Hope youre right. Thank you very much. Meteorologist jamie davis of our fort dallas station katv is tracking the storm. Good morning. Good morning. We have several states under Winter Weather alerts including an ice storm warning across kansas, iowa, and nebraska. We could see a quarter to a half an inch on top of what weve already seen. Of course, thats going to cause more slick roads, power out angs and many travel disruptions. Many officials are telling folks to stay inside and stay put if you can. In addition to the ice, snow is going to be the big story especially over parts of colorado and western kansas where we expect some areas to pick up 3 to 6 inches of snow. Charlie . Jeff jamison, thank you. At least 37 people were killed. The turn eric cargo plane was flying from hong kong to istanbul. It was about to make a planned stop when it crashed just outside ma is in airport. Most of those kill wrd on the ground. The cause of the crash isnt known, but the jet was trying to land in heavy fog. President elect trump is in an angry dispute with a legend in the civil rights area on this Martin Luther king jr. Day. Lewis and other House Democrats plan to skip fridays inauguration, and yesterday mr. Trump hit back at cia director john brennan tweeting that the agency couldnt do much worse and asking was the leaker of fake news. Major garrett is covering the trump transition with four days to go. Good morning. Good morning. Mr. Trump was responding. The head of the spy agency also refused to confirm or deny if the cia had any evidence about contacts between the president elects campaign and the russians pointing instead to the fbi. I very much hope that our relationship with russia improves in the coming administration. Reporter on sunday john brennan warned the president elect about temper and judgment. Therefore, when he speaks or when he reacts, he has to make sure he understands the implications could be profound. Mr. Trump had for weeks doubted reports on russia tampering, cyber and otherwise, in the 2016 election. As far as hacking, i think it was russia. Before reversing course during his News Conference last week. I dont see the president elect as a legitimate president. Its led people like john lewis to question his legitimacy. I think the russians participated in helping this man get elected, and they helped destroy the candidacy of hillary clinton. Lewis said he will boycott the inauguration. On saturday trump turned to twitter. John lewis should spend time helping his district which is in horrible shape and falling apart not to mention crime infested. All talk. Talk, talk. No action or results. Sad. Lewis represents a district with wealth and prestige. It includes atlantas hartsfieldjackson airport, the centers for Disease Control and prevention, and the Georgia Institute of technology. Donald trump won this election fair and square. On face the nation mike pence tried to soften mr. Trumps tone. It was deeply disappointing to me and also to hear he was not going to attend the inauguration this friday. I hope he reconsiders both statements. Pence also said none of the conversations that Michael Flynn had with the ambassador to the u. S. Were related to the sanctions tied to an election on hacking. Gayle, it is unclear if mr. Trump will maintain those sanctions. All right. Thank you very much, major. In his final interview, president obama says hell have to get the Intelligence Community to trust him. Steve kroft asked the president about mr. Trumps criticism. Were in this transition period and one of the first things that he has done in this transition period is to pick a fight with the intelligence agency. Do you think that thats a smart move . Youre not going to be able to make good decisions without building some relationship of trust between yourself and that community. Do you see that happening . Not yet, but, you know, again, he hasnt gotten sworn in office yet. President obama also said he believes the Affordable Care act will be one of his lasting legacies. President elect trump says he plans to present a better alternative to obamacare soon. He didnt offer specifics to the Washington Post. He said the republican plan was in the final strokes and said, quote, were going to have insurance for everybody. Mr. Trump said the replacement plan, there was a philosophy in some circles if you cant pay for it, you dont get it. Thats not going happen with us. He warned the pharmaceutical companies, theyre politically protected but not anymore. Senators Bernie Sanders and Chuck Schumer told a crowd in warren they would fight the repeal of the law that protects 20 million americans. John, good morning. Good morning, charlie. Thanks for having me. How do we define exactly what the president elect wants to do. Is it universal health care . Heres what he told scott pelley. Im going to take care of everybody. I dont care if it costs me votes or not. Theyll be taken care of much better than theyre taken care of now. I think his goal is to make sure everybodys got health care but one of the beauties of having a president like donald trump, he knows,000 create deals. More people are going to have access to health care under the obamacare plan . I think not only are they going have greater access but greater choice. Theyre going have more plans an more doctors available, something theyre not having now. You see in market after market people who at one point had two, three plans to choose from are now being told the only plan available is this one and no other competition is available. What hes going to do is reinstill a sense of competition and choice in the marketplace, allow greater competition to drive down costs, give consumers more options. Why havent we heard the details yet, sean . Because hes not president yet. I get that youre excited about what hes going to do. But weve got four days to go. Hes got plans on a lot of things that are going make this country move in the right direction, whether its how were going help our veterans and create better options. Sean, thats a big promise, insurance for everybody. What does that look like . Does that mean government pays for it or government mandates that businesses pay for it . Well, again, norah, i think the goal as the president elect stated in the Washington Post article, his goal is to make sure everyones covered but he wants to do so in a way that brings all entities to the table. So theres a pharmaceutical component to this, theres a competition and a marketplace access issue meaning right now the plans cannot compete across state lines which limits competition. So there are ways to deal with the price side that drive the price down and give consumers greater choice. Let me ask you about john lewis and john brennan. Was that necessary on behalf of the president notwithstanding what john lewis had said. Look. I think john lewis is an icon on this Martin Luther king jr. s anniversary. Exactly. Hes been a stalwart for that. Thats why i think his comments were disappointing. John lewis more than anybody understands the need to enfranchise people, to get them out to vote, and when he makes a comment about the ill le legitimacy of an election, i think it ubds mines what hes done. Hes been such a champion, working to get more people to vote and the legitimacy and apparatus of systems. To see him make a comment like that, i think, was disappointing. The president elect doesnt have to respond to every criticism. I understand that. But when someone of john lewiss stature goes out and attacks the legitimacy of an election and his legitimacy as president , there is something when someone of that huge stature and iconic nature attacks him. The president elect has a right as hes done over and over again of fighting back and making sure that hi shows hes not going to sit back and take attacks without responding. Thank you so much for joining us. Susan page is usa todays Washington Bureau chief. Good morning. Good morning. Insurance for everybody. Who pays for it. It sounds like a great idea. People who have worked on health care for decades dont understand how thats going to work. Its what weve struggled with as a nation for a long time. Now, i may be talking about universal access to insurance. Thats something Speaker Paul Ryan has talked about. Thats something more different and limited than universal coverage. Access is a big deal. It would be a big deal, protecting the people with preexisting issues. That would be a big deal. And trump has said hes inclined to do that. Thats right. But you do have to pay for it. A lot of russian news ore the weekend. We heard the cia director say donald trump does not have a full appreciation of russian capabilities and the president elect saying he could do away with some of these russian sanctions. And he was a leaker. And we heard that nato is obsolete. So these are things that you know, trump has been a disrupter in many ways on health care and russia as well. The idea that he may actually move to lift the sanctions just imposed by president obama for meddling in our election, these are things that have gotten everybodys attention. This would be a fundamental shift in the approach that american president s in general and particularly republican president ele president s have take en. What does Vladimir Putin have to do to get trump to lift the sanctions . Maybe theyll have to invite them back to the talks. What do you make of his squabble now with john lewis . There are very strong feelings on both sides of this dice putte . Theres nothing that seems to get the president elects attention more than questioning hiss legitimacy. Thats when it comes to russia or comey or the fact that he lost the popular vote to hillary clinton. These are things that really get his attention. Hes insensitive perhaps to some of the racial aspects including the offense that john lewis and othering took when he questioned the legitimacy of Barack Obamas presidency. Four days to go. He says hes going to unite the country. Leets hope that happens. Yes. Cbs news will have full coverage. It begin us with us on friday on cbs.
