Swv was good. The 90s are back apparently. Well get to that in the skinny. Back to the news. Im Adrienne Bankert in for diane. Good morning. Im kendis gibson. The story from the west coast is a major developing story at this hour. The forecasters are calling it the biggest storm of the season. If you can believe that after whats already been a rough winter, its already pounding the west coast with heavy wind and rain. As you look at the radar there, you can see it moving ashore right now which means its only going to get worse. Sandbaggers working to combat the most intense rainfall expected to swamp Southern California today and tomorrow with 8 to 10 inches in some spots. The emergency crews are closely watching an the mountains east of los angeles where this rock slide has triggered evacuations and school closings. Further north in washington state, a landslide shut down two lanes of interstate 5 for hours last night. One car was hit but nobody was injured. Northern county officials believe the damaged oroville dam will be able to be withstand the approaching storms. They say they drained the enough water from the lake behind the dam to a much safer dam. That is a landmark story there. Yeah, so a little bit of relief as far as the dam goes. Lets get a sense of the time line for the super soaker. Justin povick joins us now with details. Good morning, justin. Adrian, kendis, good morning to you. A major storm now making its move into the golden state of california. Extremely high impacts in the bay area but especially toward the l. A. Basin. As we go in closer here, we are expecting again several inches you. Of rain, higher amounts into the foothills could cause mudslides, rock slides and flash flooding. Big delays expected here along interstate 5. Adrian, kendis, back to you. Thanks to justin there. Now to the firestorm otherwise known as the press conference that took place yesterday, the first one for president since taking office. He was on the defensive for 77 minutes. Taking questions for 17 reporters. President trump was asked about a wide range of subjes Intelligence Leaks to recent provocations by russia. On many occasions his answers included attacks president of the united states. Reporter the president ial press conference, that august american tradition. Quiet, quiet, quiet. Reporter entered the era of trump. Its all fake news. Its all fake news. Reporter President Trump didnt so much confer with reporters. Where are you from . Bbc. Okay. Heres another beauty. Reporter its a good line. Impartial free and fair. Yeah, sure. Mr. President. Just like cnn, right . Reporter he made it Crystal Clear he views them with contempt. Tomorrow they will say donald trump rants and raves at the press. Im not ranting and raving. Im just telling you, youre dishonest people. But im not ranting and raving. I love this. Im having a good time doing it. Reporter trump took on the perception his administration is off to a rocky start and blamed the messenger. I tirn turn on the tv, open the newspapers and i see stories of chaos, chaos, yet, it is the exact opposite. This administration is running like a finetuned machine. Reporter if anyone doesnt believe that, its the news medias fault, not his, according to trump. The media is trying to attack our administration because they know we are following through on pledges that we made and theyre not happy about it for whatever reason. Reporter as for the National Security adviser trump fired this week after he was exposed misrepresenting a conversation he had had with Russian Ambassador and misleading mike pence about it, the president tried to have it both ways. Yes, jon. Thank you, mr. President. I want to get you to clarify because its a very important point. Can you say definitively that nobody on your campaign had any contacts with the russians during the campaign and on the leaks, is it fake news or are these real leak s . Well, the leaks are real. Youre the one that wrote about them and reported them. The leaks are real. You know what they said. You saw it, and the leaks are absolutely real. The news is fake. Because so much of the news is fake. Reporter trump insis the russians mike flynn is a fine person and i asked for his resignation. He respectfully gave it. Reporter but that he didnt tell the Vice President the truth about what was discussed. And he insisted the leaks that exposed flynns dishonesty are the real problem. What was wrong was the way that other people including yourselves in this room were given that information. Because that was classified information. It was given illegally. Thats the real problem. Reporter reporters had been summoned to the east room of the white house expecting to hear about trumps new pick for labor secretary replacing the fast food executive who withdrew in the wake of a scandal. The new nominee alexander acosta, professor and dean at the Florida InternationalUniversity Law school. He wasnt even in the room. I think hell be a tremendous secretary of labor. Reporter even if trump didnt manage to change the subject, at least he framed the subject in his own terms. Its unclear how it will play with the voters. As for the president s prediction tomorrow they will say, donald trump rants and raves at the press. Reporter the New York Post cover says it all. Im david wright in new york. That was david wright reporting. That News Conference also included a moment some are questioning. So it came when april ryan, who is a reporter with the american urban radio, touched on the administrations plans to help the nations inner circle. Ryan asked the president whether he intends to meet with the Congressional Black Caucus and heres the exchange. You want to include the cbc, mr. President , in your conversations with your inner city agenda as well am i going to include who . The Congressional Black Caucus. I would. I tell you what, do you want to set up the meeting . Are they friends of yours . Im just a reporter. I know some of them. Lets go set up a meeng i think its great. So the president s response left members of the caucus stunned. Abcs mary bruce caught up with missouri congressman emanuel cleaver. Because there was a black woman in the room the assumption was that is some way, somehow in spite of the fact she was a reporter, she had some kind of unique contact with the Congressional Black Caucus. You dont think he would have asked another reporter to set up a meeting like that . I dont think he would have asked you to set up the meeting with the Congressional Black Caucus. That meeting again toe address the inner cities. The caucus says it sent a letter to the president last month expressing hope that he and its members would be able to Work Together but never received a response. The white house is now working to set up a meeting there. If it were a white reporter, would he have asked the same thing . I think he would have. I really do. I think a lot of people would say he would have asked that question to any reporter because you can see, this is an conference. This has been an unprecedented campaign. The rules are off. And you know, weve got to get used to the new reality. I give him props. Listen, all week long and for 28 days weve been saying hes only taking questions from conservative outlets. He took questions from a lot of outlets that he doesnt necessarily like yesterday and it does seem as if he was having fun. He just stood out there. He seed as if he was having a lot of fun. April ryan, veteran reporter 20 years in the business she believes its because hes a novice and this is his first time in washington as the president of the united states. Yes, and she thinks he did not necessarily hear her say cbc the first time. Its not necessarily that he didnt know what the cbc was. Right. Well, everybodys got a take on it. Whats yours . Tweet us. Moving on to what appears to be mixed signals about the u. S. Approach to middle east peace. At the u. N. Yesterday, American AmbassadorNikki Haley Says the u. S. Supported the long established policy called the twostate solution following President Trumps statement on tuesday saying he could live with whatever the two sides like best, either a onestate solution or twostate solution. Also, Speaker Paul Ryan and the House Republican leader has given rank and file members an outline of their plan to replace obamacare including tax credits to finance individual tax insurance purchases.

As far as settlements id like to see you hold back on settlements for a little bit. Well try. Doesnt sound too optimistic. The evolving and eroding level of trust as a result of this situation and a series of other questionable instances is what led the president to ask for general flynns resignation.

You said today you had the biggest electoral margin since Ronald Reagan with 306 electoral votes. Im talking. George h. W. Bush 326. I was given that information.
