"hidden figures," "moonlight." and "fences" looking to erase the memories of last year. even "deadpool" trying to crash the party. the oscar nominations live right here on "gma." we do say good

there they are. looks like they were very relaxed as they head to sir richard branson's island. >> good to be ex-president. not bad. >> could you imagine the stress relief when you're out of office. >> new president hard at work. packed first monday in office. our political team is covering every angle from his battles with the press to his first executive actions. let's start with cecilia vega at the white house. at that congressional meeting overnight the president repeated false claims about the election. >> reporter: yeah, george, he says that he lost the popular vote because of all the millions of illegal votes that were cast, george. this is a claim that has been flatly debunked. the cameras were rolling for president trump's first official white house meeting with congressional >> mr. president. >> reporter: but they weren't there when he repeated a false claim. sources telling abc news the president said he lost the popular vote to hillary clinton because millions of illegal ballots were cast. president trump has made the claim before and fact checkers have roundly debunked it. as trump settles into his new role so too does his staff. >> it's just remarkable what got down in the first day. >> press secretary sean spicer facing the cameras again after his much criticized first performance this weekend. >> this was the largest audience to ever witness an inauguration, period. >> reporter: this time a different tune to abc's jonathan karl. >> is it your intention to always tell the truth from that podium and will you pledge never to knowingly say something that is not factual. >> it is. it's an honor to do this and, yes, i believe that we have to be honest with the american people. i think sometimes we can disagree with the facts. there are certain things that we understand when we come out but our intention is never to lie to you, jonathan. >> reporter: kicking off his first full week with a packed schedule. >> we'll sign three memorandums right now. >> reporter: starting by signing a flurry of new orders from a federal government employee hiring freeze to a ban on foreign aid to groups who provide abortion services, a policy first imposed by ronald reagan that has been reinstituted by every republican president since. and making good on a campaign promise to pull out of a major trade deal with asia, the transpacific partnership. >> great thing for the american worker, what we just did. >> reporter: now so far no comment from the white house on those false election claims but this is not the first time donald trump has raised this issue right after his win. he tweeted, millions of people voted illegally, again, that is about the popular vote. he is saying why he lost it. again, another big day at the white house. president trump meets with auto american jobs this morning, robin. >> all right, cecilia and there are new developments for president trump's cabinet nominees. more pushback expected today as tom price heads back to the hot seat. overnight another one of trump's candidates was confirmed. mike pompeo. mary bruce joins us from the capitol. good morning, mary. >> reporter: good morning, day five of the trump administration and the president has just three confirmed cabinet secretaries. the latest overnight congressman pompeo for cia director, they are picking up the pace but there is still a logjam here on capitol hill as democrats raise ethical concerns about many of trump's nominees and that is expected to continue today as they take aim at nick mulvaney, the president's pick for budget director now under fire for his own finances after he failed to pay taxes on his nanny's income. this is the kind of thing that's taken down nominees in the past but this morning the question is just what kind of impact does it compliement. robin. >> mary, there does seem to be good news for the administration concerning the president's selection for secretary of state. seems like he has cleared a hurdle there. >> reporter: yeah, rex tillerson, the former exxon ceo has cleared a major hurdle now that republican senator marco rubio is finally on board. rubio had raised concerns about tillerson's ties to russia. he says he still has reservations but didn't want to create an unwarranted political controversy by blocking him. tillerson could now be confirmed as soon as next week, robin. >> we'll see if that happens. thank you. >> more on this from jon karl. jon, you were pretty tough, pretty direct questions to sean spicer yesterday. what you got back is kind of a mix of concessions and combativeness. >> reporter: yeah, but it was a clear reset. sean spicer went into this briefing room over the weekend because president trump was upset and wanted him to come out here and deliver a tongue lashing at the press. he did that. it did not go over well. he refused to so when he came out here yesterday for his first official briefing, there was a little bit of humor and there were critically some concessions and did acknowledge some of the information he gave over the weekend was not correct. he said it wasn't intentional and that he would always as you heard do his best to tell the truth from the podium. >> and you mentioned it right there. we know that president trump was upset saturday. that's why sean spicer came into the briefing room keeping a close eye on all this. some reports he wasn't very happy after spicer's briefing on saturday. >> reporter: yeah, it was like worst of both worlds for the press secretary. certainly he didn't make any or build presses with the press and president trump was not happy with the performance, some aides thought it shouldn't have been done to begin with but what we hear about yesterday's performance is that the president was quite happy with it. >> on the confirmation front it appears that the president is closing in on a supreme court nominee. >> reporter: that's right. what i am told there is one leading contender, neal a circuit court judge, 10th circuit, only 49 years old, would be actually, george, the youngest supreme court nominee in about 25 years, very -- somebody who's popular with conservatives and was confirmed for his current job unanimously by the senate back in 2006. >> that could be -- >> reporter: i'm told that could come next week. >> the key he was confirmed unanimously last time because you're hearing some talk from the democratic leader shuck schumer of filibustering whoever the president puts up. that would mean they would have to get democratic votes to get it through. >> reporter: the white house believes it would be hard to filibuster gorsuch. he's just not that controversial. but there are a lot of bruised feelings by the fact that, of course, barack obama's last nominee didn't even get a hearing. >> okay, jon karl, thanks very much. tomorrow night david muir will have the first interview with president trump since the inauguration. that will air right here on abc at 10:00 p.m. michael. >> all right, george, and now to that massive nor'easter that's hitting right now bringing rain, wind and we're going to take a live look at this flooded road in seabright,

>> reporter: streeting flooding along the new jersey coast. >> the first nor'easter of this season but the reality is and in a post-sandy world extreme weather is a lot more common and it's something that we're constantly mindful of. >> reporter: certainly easy to be mindful when it's in your face and you have to get to work. coastal flooding and over 12,000 in the area without power. you can expect that to rise and in interior sections snow and sleet is piling up so school is closed and difficult to get around pretty much anywhere in new england or across the northeast if you do have to

>> that job is a lot tougher. >> happy to be here. >> this one pays a little better. >> a little better. it is a real balancing act because you have to hold your ground and be forceful but have to be respectful. >> well, add one more thing, one of the reasons sean got in trouble he was saying things that weren't true. you have got to do everything you can -- you're not always going to be right but you have to do everything you can to try to tell -- be accurate and tell the truth. that's why the question jon karl asked important. is it your intention to always tell the truth from the podium. >> not only for us but the american public can trust what's coming out. >> that's right. >> you look just the same. >> not a change. >> not a bit. coming up a dramatic rescue. and what to do if you get stuck in your car. come on back. deal with high... and low blood sugar. januvia (sitagliptin) is a once-daily pill that, along with diet and exercise, helps lower blood sugar. januvia works when your blood sugar is high and works less when your blood sugar is low, because it works by enhancing your body's own ability to lower blood sugar. plus januvia, by itself, is not likely to cause weight gain or low blood sugar (hypoglycemia). januvia should not be used in patients with type 1 diabetes or diabetic ketoacidosis. tell your doctor if you have a history of pancreatitis. serious side effects can happen, including pancreatitis which may be severe and lead to death. stop taking januvia and call your doctor right away if y be pancreatitis. tell your doctor right away and stop taking januvia if you have an allergic reaction that causes swelling of the face, lips, tongue, or throat, or affects your breathing or causes rash or hives. kidney problems sometimes requiring dialysis have been reported. some people may develop severe joint pain. call your doctor if this happens. using januvia with a sulfonylurea or insulin may cause low blood sugar. to reduce the risk, your doctor may prescribe a lower dose of the sulfonylurea or insulin. your doctor may do blood tests before and during treatment to check your kidneys. if you have kidney problems a lower dose may be prescribed. side effects may include upper respiratory tract infection, stuffy or runny nose, sore throat, and headache. for help lowering your blood sugar talk to your doctor about januvia. you totanobody's hurt, new car. but there will still be pain. it comes when your insurance company says they'll only pay three-quarters of what it takes to replace it. drive three-quarters of a car?

>> and that's important. let me read to you the federal so federally child abuse is any recent act or failure to act on the part of a parent which results in death, serious physical or emotional harm, sexual abuse or exploitation but doesn't define specifically what that all means. my rule of thumb as a mom, as a former prosecutor, what you can't do to a vulnerable adult you can't do to a child. had they done this to an adult, it certainly is a felony. >> emotional trauma. that's what this case is, 100%. sunny, thank you very much. >> thank you, sunny. and next up, the stage is set for major super bowl showdown. i'm not talking about the patriots and the falcons but tom brady and roger goodell could face off for the first time since brady was suspended for four games after the deflategate scandal and stephen a. smith is joining us live. stephen, in a radio interview brady was asked what he might say to the nfl commissioner if they were to meet face-to-face and he responded, maybe tell you after. so what's going on? how heated is the feud between these two? >> well, brady is going to try to underplay it but he's furious. he's been furious. he thinks his name is raked through the coals and he holes roger goodell responsible for that you got to remember the folks in foxborough, massachusetts, they love themselves some tom brady and even during this afc championship game that just took place a couple of days ago you had people chanting roger, roger, holding up big signs for roger goodell asking where was he because he was in atlanta for the nfc championship game when he knows good and well he should have and could have been in foxborough but he hasn't been back there since the afc championship game of 2015 two years ago when the patriots shellacked the indianapolis colts 45-7 and outscored them 28-0 in the second half because roger goodell doesn't want that kind of just acrimony, the to be criticism and all aimed at his direction. knows the folks in foxborough and patriots fans the world over are coming for him. that's why he was so relieved when the denver broncos beat the new england patriots in the afc championship game last year. this is one of those situations brady knows he can't do but so much until he wins. if he wins roger goodell will have to present them that lombardi trophy which you know all about, michael strahan but if he doesn't win he doesn't have to deal with tom brady. he's not going to see roger goodell. >> well, i tell you right now, brady's motivated to be the first quarterback to win five super bowls and i think this deflategate has added to that and thank you, stephen a. sunny, thank you very much. coming up, the oscar nominations. see who's been nominated. well, when you have copd, it can be hard to breathe. it can be hard to get air out, which can make it hard to get air in. so i talked to my doctor. she said... symbicort could help you breathe better, symbicort doesn't replace a rescue inhaler for sudden symptoms. symbicort helps provide significant improvement of your lung function. symbicort is for copd, including chronic bronchitis and emphysema. it should not be taken more than twice a day. symbicort contains formoterol. medicines like formoterol increase the risk of death from asthma problems. symbicort may increase your risk of lung infections, osteoporosis, and some eye problems. you should tell your doctor if you have a heart condition or high blood pressure before taking it. symbicort could mean a day with better breathing. watch out, piggies!

trump is apparently still sounding off about losing the popular vote to hillary clinton. cecilia vega has all the details. >> reporter: good morning to you. this controversy came during donald trump's first official meeting here in the white house with congressional leaders. now, in that meeting sources tell abc news the president said he lost the popular vote to hillary clinton because millions of illegal ballots were cast. this is, of course, a false claim. he has made it before and it has been fact checked, fact checkers have roundly debunked it. no comment so far from the white house, but some in the room say the comment was made in jest. now, the president is kicking off his first full week with a packed schedule including with a flurry of new orders from a federal government employee hiring freeze to a ban on foreign aid to groups who provide abortion services and he's also making good a major trade deal with asia. that, of course, is the transpacific partnership and today another busy day in the white house. president trump is meeting with auto industry executives to talk about american jobs. amy. >> all right, cecilia, thank you. and abc news has learned president trump has narrowed down his choices to fill the vacancy on the supreme court. sources say federal judge neal gorsuch is the leading contender. he's 49 years old and his nomination could come next week.

than 35,000 customers. toppled trees on to homes and swamped train stations from pennsylvania to new england and turned deadly when a sign from a car lot struck a man in philadelphia. on the west coast a state of emergency has been declared for 50 counties in california slammed by winter storms that triggered mudslides and in utah an avalanche was caught on camera, tons of snow racing down a mountain and onto that road. look at that. fortuna fortunately, the road had already been closed. the phone is ringing off the hook at a deli this washington but the callers aren't looking for

been flooded about complaints from everything about cabinet nominees to obamacare but the advantage inviting callers to drop in and they got a shoutout to a few more million people on "good morning america." >> doesn't hurt. you got that right. thank you. we turn to an important health warning. the cdc is reporting a spike in flu cases across the country. our chief health and medical editor dr. richard besser will break it down. >> flu season peaks between january and march and we are right in the middle of it going on for the past few weeks spreading around the country. if you take a look at the map. there is a lot of flu activity in the midwest. those are the states in red with high activity. it hasn't reached epidemic levels so there's still more to come. >> this has hit home for you. >> it has. it has. you know, people wonder whether vaccinations are the way to go. it is the best way to reduce your risk but just last night my son who goes to wash u. was diagnosed with the flu and he had his shot back in november. so reduces your risk but if you're in the high risk group, elderly, young, pregnant women definitely worth getting it. it will take two weeks to kick in. >> he's doing well. if you get flu symptoms good to get in for treatment early. get treatment within 48 hours, tamiflu can reduce the length. >> not as severe. you know, we live in a very competitive world and some people -- you don't go to work, you don't get paid so they soldier through. >> that's right. >> and go to work. when do you know -- you got to stay home. >> you got to do the right thing. you're contagious from the day before you have symptoms and then for another week or so after that. but if you have fever you should stay home and then for another 4 hours to make sure it's not coming back. if you don't have energy or your kids don't have energy don't send them to school and kids should stay home a little longer because they're so good at sharing germs with each other. it drives me nuts when kids get attendance awards because it encourages them to go to school when they're sick instead of staying home. do the right thing. it helps everybody else out. >> you got to keep everybody in mind. putting other people at risk. >> protect those around you. >> if you're at home you can watch the oscar nominations coming up. first we have "pop news." >> can you escort me over. >> yes. >>

who do you tell first? >> you know what, it's so funny. i'm at a hotel right now waiting for my room so i'm really standing out on the sidewalk pacing around. have you gone to the front desk -- >> you'll get a better room that way. >> yeah. >> maybe a view. >> i think i could go back in. >> so you haven't -- >> yeah, i haven't had a chance to talk to any of my family yet or anything being so far away. >> but i tell you what i'm pretty sure they'll be extremely happy to get this news. as happy as you are and it's well deserved and we hope you get checked into that room really soon. and a good room, a good room at that and we'll be looking out for you at the oscars and wish you luck, my friend. >> thank you very much. appreciate it. >> all right. yeah. >> that's one nominee we know was not in pajamas. every other nominee i assume is in sleepwear because it's so early in hollywood this time of day. >> i can only imagine the feeling when you get this call especially i'm pretty sure for some they say i'm not going to pay attention. i'm going to sleep in. i'm just -- if i get a phone call in the middle of the morning, i'm pretty sure that's what it is and for them it's got to be very exciting when >> try to tell yourself i'm just happy with the nomination. don't have to worry about the rest. >> he was surprised so i mean, i don't think he had a lot of expectations, you know what i mean so it was especially sweet for him. although i'd say michael shannon is probably the least excitable oscar nomination. >> i want to ask chris connelly your opinion. mel gibson, is this the completion of the comeback. >> i guess it is. i guess he's -- i guess this is -- this was the spare slot in best director and i think people felt that "hacksaw ridge" was an outstanding movie and he got the nomination. >> also andrew garfield got the nod and the film, as well, correct. >> fine work, as well and to finish off a story that we've all been talking about three of the best picture nominees all about the african-american experience, seven actors of color nominated so we turned the page there for a year at least. >> yeah. >> i love "hidden figures." >> yes. >> the performances in the movie very deserving. >> great flips and great performances from mahershala ali, he's been somebody that's been eyeing this a couple types and hopefully we'll hear from him in a little bit and talked about "moonlight" and it was like the little film that could. >> absolutely. >> and what is it about it, do you think, that's resonated with folks. >> i think it's a coming of age tale. >> yeah. >> just really well told and so no matter -- >> artistic. >> artistic but any good coming of age tale that's well told is universal. and it's strange to say because this kid's life was so extraordinary and unrelatable to a lot of people but it was so well done that no matter who you are, you can identify with the story. >> naomie harris, you usually see her all glam and for her to take the role it was something because she didn't want to fit that stereotype and said because of barry jenkins, the -- it's his story and she bought into it and said it is just so beautifully done and people haven't seen it should take the time to. >> he also will probably win. support supporting categories are a lot for viola. >> really. >> jess cagle said it. there you go.
