christmas tree. could there be a shortage of some of the most popular firs just as you head out to buy your, why you may see sky high prices this year. ♪ good morning, america. and happy birthday, michael strahan. >> thank you. i made it another year. >> glad you're here because the holidays are just around the corner and a lot are heading out to buy their trees this weekend. >> a lot of people, there's concerns out there there could be a shortage and if so what it means about the price tag for your tree and tell you how you can get the best deal. we begin with those explosive allegations against charlie rose. the news anchor suspended by cbs and pbs after more than eight women accused him of making crude sexual advances. rose has now responded. abc's linsey davis has the latest. >> reporter: unso list tedded shoulder rubbing, showering in front of college, some of the accusations named against him. five of the women who came forward saying dating back to the '90s he grabbed their leg, an act they say they viewed as a test to gauge their reaction. >> as an actor you're constantly observing. >> reporter: a slew of sexual harassment and assault allegations lodged against journalist and tv host charlie rose. >> what you can do, what you can do. >> reporter: rose renowned for his probing questions on his iconic show. >> how important is it to have, you know, a full understanding of what it does for us. >> reporter: has sat down with guests ranging from presidents to pop stars. >> what is this talent? >> i don't know what it is. >> reporter: but now eight women tell "the washington post" the pbs staple, "cbs this morning" co-host and, "60 minutes" contributor made unwanted sexual advances toward them several saying he groped them and one tells the pain he was a sexual predator and i was his victim. >> one woman we spoke to who worked for him as an intern in the 1990s recalled him coming out of the shower naked. she confided in one person, you know, the next day a male producer came up to her laughing saying, oh, i heard you got the shower trick. >> reporter: one of rose's tippett in the mid-2000s tells the paper about at least a dozen instances where rose walked nude in front of her while she worked in one of his new york city homes and says he would repeatedly call her late at night to describe his fancies of her swimming naked and told yvette vega who said that's charily being charlie. she says now i should have stood up for them. >> most of these women we talked to were working with him at an early stage in their career. for them and trying to move forward and on from the show, i think that there would be a tremendous risk, you know, to speaking out against his behavior if you were possibly worried about getting a job in media. >> reporter: in response to the allegations rose says it is essential that these women know i hear them and that i deeply apologize for my inappropriate behavior. i have behaved insensitively at times and i accept responsibility for that. though i do not believe that all of these allegations are accurate. i always felt that i was pursuing shared feelings, even though i now realize i was mistaken. earlier this year rose was asked about former fox news anchor bill o'reilly after he was fired from the network following allegations of sexual harassment. >> all of the cases that raise the issue of sexual harassment which is a terrible thing have probably been not exposed enough, not enough in the sense of attention in the past so people were afraid to forward. i think people are coming forward now. >> reporter: pbs and bloomberg suspended distribution of "the charlie rose show" and cbs announced he is suspended. three additional women say they were harassed and "the washington post" reporter said more women have reached out to them and they plan to do additional reporting so maybe more to come. >> seems that way. all right. >> thanks, linsey. now those troubling new allegations of sexual misconduct affecting the senate. a second woman says senator al franken groped her. franken was a sitting senator at the time on this one. critics are calling for an investigation. abc's david wright is on capitol hill with that story for us. good morning, david. >> reporter: good morning, robin. senator franken tells us he has no plans to resign and welcomes an ethics investigation but as this institution like so many others grapples with the behavior of some of the men in its midst, it's a bipartisan issue. senator franken's second accuser, 33-year-old lindsay menz told kr cnn the senator grabbed her rear end when she posed with him at the minnesota state fair for this photo shared on social media. as my husband took the picture he put his hand full-fledged on my rear, she said. he totally grabbed my butt. franken tells abc news i take thousands of photos at the state fair surrounded by hundreds of people and i certainly don't remember taking this picture but adds i feel badly that ms. menz came away from our interaction feeling disrespected. these new allegations come just days after radio backstage during their 2006 uso tour. >> i was just disgusted. >> reporter: on the military flight home the uso photographer snapped this picture. the senator has been keeping a low profile holed up in his daughter's washington, d.c. home. he's issued a blanket apology saying he'll cooperate with the ethics investigation, quote, i respect women. i don't respect men who don't and the fact that my own actions have given people a good reason to doubt that makes me feel ashamed. in alabama no such mea culpa from republican roy moore. >> pressure does not cause me want to step down. it causes me to want to stand up. >> reporter: eight separate women have accused him of sexual misconduct. some of them say moore molested them when they were teenagers. that alabama special election takes place in early december. it's essentially become a referendum on those allegations, meanwhile, here in washington, senator franken is already feeling the heat. last night pbs edited him out of a kennedy center special honoring david letterman. george. >> the fallout continues. let's get more from our senior white house correspondent cecilia vega. and, cecilia, on this roy moore senate race we're seeing a real evolution in the white house position on roy moore as you and others in the white house briefing room press sarah sanders and others every single day. they're now inching towards some support of moore. let's listen. >> obviously the president wants people, both in the house and the senate, that support his agenda but as i've said and as the hatch act prohibits me from going further we think this is something the people of alabama should decide. >> reporter: yeah, so that had been the default answer of the white house, that it's up to alabama voters to decide but started with kellyanne conway here on the north lawn of the white house yesterday asked if alabamans now support roy moore in this race. her answer was she bashed his democratic opponent doug jones and offered what sounded very much like an endorsement of roy moore so right now this is the question for this white house and this president, is the official position that it would rather see a man accused of assaulting teenage girls in office than a democrat, george. >> well, they certainly seem to be getting towards that as they say they want someone who supports the president's agenda in that seat. in a lot of news overnight as well. a setback for the president's sanctuary city policy where he wanted to deny federal funding to them. >> reporter: like new york and los angeles, cities that limit cooperation with immigration authorities. the president wants to force them to assist in deportation of undocumented immigrants by cutting off funding to these places. so far no response from the white house on this judge's order but the justice department says this court exceeded its authority, george, they are saying they will fight back. >> at the same time, cecilia, the white house and the administration announcing they're going to send back haitians who came to the united states after that 2010 earthquake. >> reporter: yeah, haitians here who have this protected status will be allowed to stay in the country until july 2019. this came after john kelly, the now chief of staff, former homeland security director made a trip to the island earlier this year. he came back essentially saying that haiti has made considerable progress in the wake of that earthquake there and that this group can return home. here is the problem with this, though, george. these people have been in this country for nearly a decade. they own hopes and their children have been born here so sending them back to haiti will be a lot easier said than done for this administration. >> thanks very much. robin. >> all right, also this morning president trump is stepping up pressure on north korea over its nuclear program putting that regime back on the list of state sponsors of terrorism. the president says this action should have been taken a long time ago. and will have serious consequences. >> this designation will impose further sanctions and penalties on north korea and related persons and supports our maximum pressure campaign to isolate the murderous regime. >> for more our chief sfloebl affairs correspondent martha raddatz joins us from washington, d.c. good morning, martha. >> reporter: good morning, robin. north korea was taken off the terror list in 2008 by president bush as part of a deal he hoped would end north korea's nuclear desi desires. that clearly did not work and it is far from clear that putting north korea back on the list will have any effect either. north korea is already heavily sanctioned and still vows never to give up its nuclear weapons program. but this is a strong symbolic message to kim jong-un that the u.s. will keep up the pressure. president trump has, of course, been doing that with fiery language and increased military presence as you heard him say he calls this a maximum pressure campaign, robin. >> we'll see what the response will be. okay, martha, thank you. >> now we go to the holiday travel rush kicking off this morning. more than 50 million are expected to hit the roads and skies according to aaa. 45 million driving and gio benitez is there. how is it going out there? >> reporter: hey, michael, good morning. listen, right now we're seeing pretty good travel movement here. there's not much going on but over the next few hours, that's when we're going to see more and more traffic. those travelers will be mixing in with the work commuters. so many are still working. let's take a look at the worst travel times. this is according to waze, the worst traffic today across america between 3:00 and 6:00 p.m. and peaks at around 5:00 p.m. so that's why travel experts actually suggest you do your travel on thanksgiving morning. that's when you're going to see the least traffic on the roads, michael. >> what about when you're ready to come home. great to get there but after you are all full of turkey you have to get on the road and come home. >> reporter: the worst traffic is going to be on monday. two times, 7:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. on monday. sunday afternoon is going to be a little rough too but believe it or not the best time to get on the road to head back home is on black friday and that's because, guess what, so many people are shopping, michael. >> all right, thank you, gio. you just have to have it at your house. >> that's right, michael. i like how you think. as millions travel coast to coast we're closely watching new storms moving in. ginger, you're following a few trouble spots. >> yi, one would be western new york. up to ten inches of lake-effect snow already fell with the bands we were showing you. the roads very slick there in syracuse, new york, it was in the tug hill plateau where you saw some of those high snow totals come in. very normal for this time of year but, of course, that could stop you up especially as a cold front passes and northeast will get rain early tomorrow morning so if you are commuting or doing your holiday travel on wednesday morning and then back in interior new england lake-effect snow showers will kick up. a stationary front draped over northern and central florida and wet one in florida. the biggest issue, seattle to portland where you'll have heavy rains coming from these storms and you could see mudslides and debris flows in areas they had burn scars. back to you. >> we'll get the latest on the killing of a border patrol agent in texas. his partner injured on the scene and president trump speaking out on the incident and abc's marcus moore is in el paso with new reporting on where and how the agents were found. good morning, marcus. >> reporter: george, good morning. we just got an update from the hospital where that surviving agent was airlifted over the weekend. he is till in icu this morning listed in critical but stable condition and overnight law enforcement sources are telling abc news that the responding border protection agents when they arrived at the scene at about 11:20 at night they found these two men suffering from traumatic head injuries and broken bones. this at the bottom of a ravine. the border protection agent rogelio martinez passed away from his injuries and this morning what exactly happened is still a mystery. but sources close to this investigation are also telling abc news that these two agents were responding to a sensor which detects human activity at the border but says there is so little evidence they cannot rule out the possibility that they fell into this ravine accide accidentally. >> many more questions to come but the president and others calling this a brutal attack. >> reporter: yeah, that's right, george, in addition to the president and texas senator ted cruz, the governor here in texas, greg abbott, he is describing this as a murder and is offering a $20,000 reward for information and an arrest and also a conviction in this case, george. >> marcus, thanks very much. >> all right, thank you, george. now to the $85 billion showdown between the trump administration and at&t, the justice department has sued to block the company's bid to take over time warner and rebecca jarvis is here, rebecca, why is the justice department fighting this deal? >> good morning, happy birthday, michael. the doj is blocking it because it would mean higher monthly television bills and fewer options for consumers and say the combination of at&t which owns satellite service directv, the largest distributor of subscription television with time warner that owns cnn, hbo could make rivals less competitive. but what's surprising about the doj blocking it is historically deals like this where the companies are complimentary but they don't overlap get approved. many in the u.s. have publicly spoken out against the deal including president trump who was rallying against it on the campaign trail. >> at&t is buying time warner and thus cnn, a deal we will not approve in my administration because it's too much concentration of power in the hands of too few. >> reporter: now, the doj denied any political influence and their suit barely mentions cnn but at&t's ceo hinted that he's not so sure. he insisted his company would not part with cnn to secure approval for the deal. any agreement forfeiting cnn directly or nondirectly is a n nonstarter, he said. >> he's not backing down. he said really he's willing to sue. >> they expect to win, he is ready to sue. >> all right. we'll keep our eye on that, yeah. >> it does seem like there was some influence there. >> a big part of the trial. they'll try to discover whether there was any contact between the white house and the justice department. >> because they're not supposed to have any say in this. >> all right, rebecca, thank you. now to that desperate search for that submarine that disappeared six days ago with 44 members on board. linzie janis is in argentina as rescue crews race against time and, linzie, the navy now says what they thought were leads may have been false hope. >> reporter: good morning, robin. that's right. an argentine navy rescue ship said they detected sounds coming from under the water and that raised hopes here at the port where the "ara san juan" is based but the navy determining they were not coming from the missing submarine. as you can see it is finally a beautiful day and we spoke with naval command and conditions out in the search area are much better today. have a look at the treacherous conditions they've been dealing with several days. 25-foot seas, hampering this search. on board 44 crew members including argentina's first ever female submarine officer, ileana maria saying her dream is become the first submarine commander. the "ara san juan" has not been heard from in six days since it reported an electrical fault. the race is on to get to these submariners in case they are running out of oxygen. >> race against time. all right, linzie, thank you. back to ginger. >> oh, a serious holiday chill in the northern plains, minneapolis feels like 15 this morning but as as far south as dalton georgia it will be cold. nashville 26 the wind chill tomorrow morning. your local weather in 20 seconds. first the cold cities brought to you by burlington. >> really nice that that

adrienne. >> reporter: good morning to you. good morning, everyone. some of the most celebrated names in television now disgraced and forcing media companies to take action. this morning, as pbs and cbs suspend iconic interviewer charlie rose -- >> does it change you? or simply make you want to make yourself be as good as you can? >> reporter: following accusations from eight women who say the cbs morning show host sexually harassed them in a variety of ways including walking around naked in his bathrobe, groping them and making lewd phone calls. overnight more fallout. 21st century fox

mad at him. i wish i had more protection. i wish this stuff didn't happen. i can't explain it to you. yeah, i'm mad at him. >> reporter: fox announcing they will create the fox news workplace professionalism and inclusion council to ensure a safe workplace environment. >> when situations like that happen to women, you fear that it's going to be your fault, you're not going to be believed. you're going to lose your job. >> reporter: it has cost fox about 50 million over just the last year. that figure does not include the payout to ailes who before he died earlier this year received $40 million and o'reilly who received 25 million to leave the company and now "the new york times," the paper which exposed the multiple the allegations against o'reilly now faces allegations that one of its star reporters, glen fluthrush to co the trump administration engaged in unwanted sexual behavior towards four female journalists. they allege he attempted to kiss and touch them inappropriately. with recent revelations in hollywood and at the highest levels of media and now government, employees are also coming out to reveal a shameful workplace culture, michael. >> and this is far reaching, adrienne. we're seening a domino effect in state and local government as well. >> reporter: absolutely. in fact, nearly a dozen state capitols are embroiled in a accusations that a number of lawmakers have been engaging in suspected or suspicious activity. florida involved in a rash of issuers, an alleged sexual affair or extramarital affair, so this is not over yet. it may just be the beginning. >> every day seems to be some shocking news. >> joining us is our chief legal correspondent dan abrams and ronan farrow contributor with the "new yorker" magazine. where do we possibly begin? let's start with charlie rose. >> look, charlie rose was a person we all knew and interabilitied with. i think all of this table, these were rumors that were whispered that certainly i had heard about. that's not the same thing as having it reportable and spending a lot of time getting it right as "the washington post" did but i do think it illustrates it's close to home. this is not republicans or democrats or the media world. in all of our societies and cultures and workplace. >> any kind of legal exposure for charlie have. >> you got to separate out civil from criminal, right? so a civil would mean sexual harassment. triple could mean an unwanted touching. people forget that sometimes. that reaches to the level of criminality. based on what's in "the washington post" story. probably not based on the timing of it and based on what the actions were. but that doesn't mean that more people aren't going to come forward. so if you're charlie rose right now, what you're worried about is additional people coming forward, additional information that in particular could make him potentially responsible civilly and, again, when you think about how little it tays to cross the line into an unwanted touching, all you need to do is make insure you have get it within the statute of limitations. >> i'm anything of his co-hosts, gayle king and norah to have to address that which they did on their program today and the things that they said about being straightforward with it. but also when -- i mean that report was so detailed and so disturbing in some of the allegations and part of it, ronan, was that it seemed that so many people knew about this. not maybe the extent of it, but they were aware. >> and this is the pattern, look, there is a variety of factors that create a veil of silence around this issue in our society and for charlie rose it was sort of the collegial nature of our business, you know, kind of we talked about this in makeup rooms and rumors of it but didn't rise to the threshold. >> one of the things we did see, you saw in the charlie rose story his executive producer clearly knew about this, clearly had people -- that's a parallel with the harvey weinstein story is that at points it does take enablers inside. >> yeah, look, with the charlie rose story there was one particular person, right? there was an executive producer longtime of the show who apparently gotten a number of reports now expresses great regret for not having done more but it's never the case that these people can act alone, right? when you're -- we're talking a lot about people who do this se se serially and allegation after allegation after allegation and it's dangerous. >> a new one broke. one of the things you're cracking open, the harvey weinstein case are these n nondisclosure agreement, settlements that company often reach with the women who are leaving. >> the culture of silence isn't always just a culture. you know, from cosby to o'reilly and certainly in weinstein's case there were legal protections that allowed silence to continue. and what we have in this new story which is just going live now is that detailed rundown of the way in which harvey weinstein used nondisclosure agreements with huge payouts attached. sometimes up to a million dollars and with really draconian measures. >> to never talk about. >> never talk about it. in one case elaborate monitoring systems asking a woman to turn over social media password and every device to destroy all evidence of a crime. >> basic in any case. you see these all the time and a real movement now nationwide that's going after these kinds of agreements. >> and it's about who is paying for them as you point out. bob weinstein in a couple of cases and he is a guy who denied he knew anything about it, we have documented that, he, in fact, underwrote two of those settlements in the -- >> is there any way to outlaw these? >> you can do anything, right? yeah, sure, you could create legislation which says that it is no longer valid in terms of a deal -- >> that's pending in a couple of state. >> it's going to be very tough to get it to pass for a variety of reasons. >> you just keep peeling back the onion more and more. dan, ronan, always good to see you there. you can see ronan's full story on the new yorker website this morning. thank you for being here. coming up as you

people that are listening to you. this is inside southwest social media hub where they listen to you and try to solve problems with this very powerful tool. heading home, lines are longer. airlines

get something on her phone. >> reporter: in dallas southwest airlines calls this its listening center where you hear the sound of fingers tapping keyboards. >> so what did he say we fly -- >> with you all the time and today has been the worst day yet. >> reporter: from a father with three young children trying to get to cancun. we've seen those disturbing social media videos. the passenger dragged off a jet. passengers coming to blows and nasty tweets about missed flights, poor customer service. every day southwest is tagged 3,000 times on social media. airlines at first worried when social media burst onto the scene but now see this as a way to solve problems. >> to really see something is brewing and get on top of it a lot faster. >> he just responded. >> that's great. we started off with him being extremely frustrated and now he knows he's in a better spot. >> reporter: southwest has a team of 40 covering 24 hours a day. getting involved in about half of those 3,000 daily posts. >> things that you may not think were a big issue now can become a monster issue for you if you're not responding in an expedient manner. >> reporter: they're so fast they may be the first to tell the airline that something is wrong. >> we'll be able to take it to the mechanics or take it to the piles and they'll be able to hear about it for the first time. >> reporter: and that father with three young children made it to cancun. good news for him. a couple of tips for you if you want to use social media to talk to your airline. you can see on their screens actually the conversation just came down but they have on the left side that all the social media twitter and facebook and on the other side they listen to their operation center. if you are going to tweet, use the airlines' actual handle on twitter and that will get their attention. a couple of other things to do, be specific about what your problem is and don't forget, george, if you want to you can go private so even though you may start telling the world you're having a problem you don't have to solve it all with the airline on the greater twitterverse. >> some good advice, david, thanks very much. to michael. >> thank

are freezing their eggs but they may not be getting all the counseling and information they need about risks. our chief medical associate dr. jennifer ashton is here and seems like it would make sense. >> it is a multifactorial problem. when they go for egg freezing, the whole concept for something down the road maybe a year, maybe ten year, maybe more down the road so it's understandable if you just think right now in the present, you need to think long term because even if you're using a 25-year-old egg, if a 40-year-old woman is carrying that pregnancy we know that there are risks like preterm delivery, low birth weight. pre-eclamps pre-eclampsia. doesn't mean it's going to happen but you need to know about speaks to a larger issue here, robin. i think there is a m crisis in health literacy in general and specifically in women's health literacy so we all need to do better in the medical profession and lay public and need to educate them as much as possible. >> let's do it now

very well informed viewers and, of course, the correct answer is false, it doesn't. so it gives you better chances but it is not a guarantee and a lot of times in our celebrity culture we're seeing women in their 50s giving birth not realizing that many times they're using a donor egg and/or a surrogate so about managing those expectations. >> a couple more. male factors contribute to infertility in 10% of cases. our viewers said 50% -- 57% true, 43% false. >> that answer is false. male factor infertility is at play 40% of the time. it's almost an even split. it takes two. >> i knew you'd get that in. one more insurance never covers ivf. here's what our viewers said. survey says, 32% true. 68% false. >> that's false. sometimes it does and it's becoming more mainstream. more accessible. much better cost options. >> give us the top three in know your medical risk, manage expectations and ask about costs. there's a long list here but those are really the three top ones. >> all right. >> and let's get to your "gma" moment because anybody, hey, this is a great group around me here, anybody that has a toddler knows a toddler knows you really can't leave them alone for even
