last year the host of the "today" show grew them in support of movember. let us know what you think of jay carney's new look. i'm don lemon. thanks for watching, ac 360 starts right now. >> don, thanks. tonight, everyone. the deep freeze gets deeper, and you'll be feeling it even if you're some place warm right now. he says he's confident he was forced out of the nfl because he stood up for marriage equality. the always outspoken chris kluhy's first interview since leaving the nfl. we begin tonight with cold that can kill in minutes. a freeze for big parts of the

country. shipping traffic is caught in the ice in detroit and schools are closed. traditionally cold places are warm, because the weather pattern makes winter cold. they couldn't stay put. >> icy cold temperatures gripping the united states. the coldest in nearly 20 years. the cause a weather phenomenon known as a polar vortex. it makes temperatures plummet to record lows where you least expect it. today it was warmer in arrange rajs, alaska than in atlanta, georgia or nashville, tennessee. it hovered around double-digits but it felt like 40 below zero. it's not only one for the record books, but the zero degree chill is downright dangerous. >> about 10 to 15 minutes we're

looking at a potential for frostbite. it's extremely dangerous, and we don't want to put them in that situation. >> the cold temperatures forced the closing of schools. affecting more than 840,000 students. cities throughout the nation are making plans to bring homeless people off the street. snowy conditions prompted this snowball fight on sunday. in other parts of the midwest, poor visibility and snow packed roads became a challenge for drivers. a winter weather mix made a mess of airports. roughly the same number got cancelled on sunday. that's when this delta plane skidded off the runway. no one was hurt and the plane was towed with passengers on board back to the gate. as many as 140 million americans are feeling this freeze, which is expected to stick around for

at least a few more days. >> you're in minneapolis, how cold is it there right now? and how -- you look miserably cold. how cold is it expected to get over the next couple days. >> it is pretty miserable, that's true. it's negative 15 right now, you factor in the windchill, it is negative 39 they said right now, that's what it feels like, it's brutal with the wind around here, now, the relief is coming at the end of the week, by thursday, it should be one hole degree or three degrees. that i have to say sounds pretty good right now. >> i understand it's so cold there, you can throw hot water in the air and it turns to snow, is that true? >> i saw this last night for the first time, blew my mind. we have hot water right here, let's see if it works, live tv. >> it has to be really really hot, you get the mist out there.

>> i thought you were just clutching some warm coffee. i was going to make fun of you. that's incredible. >> it's all just for this trick. >> i don't know who you made mad for this assignment. i appreciate you staying with us. >> now to chad myers for a broader look on these wild temperature swings. and what to expect next. >> it's still going to be cold for a few more days. what you feel now is what you're going to have for a long time. even into the weekend. 38 below is what it feels like in minneapolis. big cities, tens of millions of people feeling this, also the pets are feeling it as well. make sure they are not left outside in this kind of weather. it's 34 in new york. it's nice and warm here. 2 in altoona, that weather is moving that way. new york city is down to 11. boston 54 today, down to 17

tonight. and 12 tomorrow morning as we work our way into wednesday. it does warm up a little bit by the end of the week, we start to see a little bit of an almost normal -- i guess that was what stephanie was getting to, up to three. at least we're positive. nashville 7, atlanta 16. everything frozen here, when i lived in d.c., it got down to 20. and all the apartment managers would say turn the water on, let it drip. otherwise it's going to get don do 7, it's not 20. we're so far below -- these are sub lime type temperatures. what you can do to try to help your pipes from freezing if you don't have pets or kids or chemicals under the sink, open the sink doors, at least some of the sink gwarm air gets in ther. when the pipes melt, all that water goes everywhere. there's our low tonight in atlanta, 7 degrees, schools are closed because they don't want kids to stand on the bus stop.

i completely understand that, they don't make clothes for atlanta like they do for minneapolis. just not that warm. >> by thursday, 42. that may feel like a day at the beach. >> what exactly is a polar vortex? >> i have that somewhere what we have on a normal day. there's the north right through there. you have the jet stream going around the north pole, keeping the cold air up here where it's supposed to be. when you get a dip in this vortex, in this low that goes all the way down to new orleans, all that cold air that's supposed to be making more sea ice is now down here making ice in the midwest and northeast. that's exactly how it happens. it's a big trough in the low pressure, a big trough right here in the jet stream. all that cold air goes straight south, right to us. >> unbelievable. chad, appreciate that, from weather to sports, football, punting giving up the attack for a while, that's not how chris plays the game. he used his foot as an offensive

weapon. he pushed loudly and frequently for marriage equality. too loudly, he says for his team which released him before the 2013 season. and now he's speaking out about that. in dead spin under the headline, i was an nfl player until i was fired by two cowards and a bigot. how uncomfortable management came with his views and the bigotry he encountered from one of the coaches. a little more than a month, i asked chris what was driving him to speak out. i'm wondering where you've been so outspoken on this issue? >> i've always been raised to treat other people the way i'd like to be treated. it's a simple philosophy. to me, it was the fact that

people are not being treated fairly. if i am free to marry my wife and raise my children, why are other people not free to do the same thing, that's what america's founded on, the freedom to live your own life. >> he joins us again tonight. he's the author of beautiful unique sparkle ponies and unique absurdities. it's good to have you on the program again. this article you wrote, one of the cowards you talk about is the head coach, the bigot is the special teams coordinatocoordin coach on the minnesota vikings, you say he said vocally to you, what you describe as homophobic comments. at one point he said, we should round up all the gays and send

them to an island and nuke it until it glows. did other teammates hear him say these things. >> yeah, there are witnesses to all the things i put in that piece on dead spin. i made sure i had witnesses. otherwise that's a defamation of character case. >> that scope, particularly the special teams coordinator he denies this, he says he has gay family members, what did you make of that? >> well, you know, it's not like he's going to come out and say, yeah, i said all those things, please end my career now, generally these things go through a certain legal process, i'm confident in everything that i related. really encouraged by the fact that the vikings are taking it seriously.

>> the thing about this investigation. they don't have subpoena powers, it's up to the players whether or not theyen watt to cooperate or whether they just want to say, well, i don't remember what this person may have said. are you confident players will step forward and back up your account? >> yeah, i'm confident, because it's the right thing to do, and also, one of the things that i'm going to push for and will absolutely demand, is the fact that there must be anonymity for these witnesses. being black balled in the nfl is a very real possibility. that's not something i'm willing to force my friends, my former teammates to submit to. if it means interviewing all members of the 2012 vikings to make sure no one is singled out, that's what it takes. >> i read your article that you wrote, and it is very detailed. have you been keeping notes all along about encounters you had with some of these coaches and

things they specifically said? >> i didn't start keeping notes until april like i said, in the article when they drafted a punter, and it was clear to me my job was done with the vikings, up until that point i was understand the impression i would still be playing for the vikings. i had no reason to think they were letting me go. no one ever said they were dissatisfied with my performance. i realized, i need to get all this stuff down now while it's fresh, and make sure i have it. >> the team has said, look, this was just about your performance on the football field. nothing about you speaking out. that the owner of the team at one point praised you for some of the things you were saying, and your coach according to you, seemed surprised by that, and said, i guess i've been overruled. to those who are hearing this at lomb and say, you're just -- you got fired and you're coming up with this, this is just sour grapes, what do you say? >> well, i would say that i

don't have anything against the vikings organization itself. i had eight wonderful years with the vikings. it was great to hear ziggy come up to me and proclaim his support. i had a problem with three individual people within the vikings. i did everything my coaches wanted me to do. no one told me i wasn't doing what i was supposed to do. the only thing that changed is i started speaking out on same sex rights. >> the coach of the team said to you, please stop doing this, and he quoted another coach who said, something to the effect a smart coach once told me, a player shouldn't talk about politics and religion. did -- was there at any point where you felt, you know what, maybe i should just stop speaking out? >> well, that was a decision i made very early on when i first committed to working with ming men ans for marriage equality.

whenever i do something, i'm going to do it to the utmost of my ability. if i commit, you're getting 100% of what i have. that meant if i was going to speak out in favor of same sex rights, then i wasn't going to back down. i'm going to take this all the way, which means treating people the right way, when it came to my head coach saying, you need to stop speaking out about this, i said, well, no, that's not the right thing to do. we are all american citizens, we all deserve the right to live our own lives free of oppression, this is something i think is important. >> is it possible that what they were annoyed about wasn't necessarily the topic you were speaking out on on same sex marriage, but on the fact that you were speaking out, that you were getting attention, that some -- maybe they felt it wasover shadowing what the team was doing, or overshadowing other players on the team? you don't see a lot of nfl players speaking out on a lot of issues. >> yeah, it's possible they felt, maybe we don't want our

punter to be known in the media, but again, like i said, i felt that this was a cause worth speaking out on, and i think for the people who like to make the -- you're causing a distraction argument, a lot of sports pundits picked the vikings to have no more than five wins that year, and we ended up going 10-6 and going to the playoffs, if that was a distraction, well, then, it obviously affected the team in a good way. >> would you consider some sort of legal action against the team if you feel you were fired unfairly? >> i'm hoping to avoid that, like i said, i really don't have any qualms with the vikings organization as a whole. this really is between me and three specific individuals, and i'm very encouraged by the vikings opening an independent investigation with these two individuals, because they have a good track record of getting to the truth and getting to it the right way. so, you know, legal option isn't off the table, but it's definitely an option i would prefer to avoid, i still have friends in that franchise, i know a lot of people there, and

i'm hoping to get this overwith as soon as possible. >> do you think you'll be able to play again somewhere else? i mean, it's one thing to speak out, it's another thing to write this article saying your former coach is a coward and the coordinating coach is a bigot? >> yeah, that pretty much threw the stick of dynamite on that bridge. i think my time in the nfl is done. i mean, you can't write and article like that and expect to play again. and really, that's also why i'm going to insist on anonymity for the players who witnessed this, it's very much this could affect their careers, if you become known as a player that ratted on another player or coach, that affects your future employment. the jonathan martin case is an excellent example of that, he may not play in the nfl again, from the fact that he broke the locker room code of silence, so to speak. >> listen, chris, i wish you the

best, and thank you for coming on tonight. >> thank you for having me on. >> follow me on twitte twitter @andersonkooper. tweet me. a young girl leaves the hospital with a death certificate. does medical signs have any hope to offer. just now learning why liz cheney dropped out of her senate race. hey linda!

there are new developments in a story that is heartbreaking. emotionally charged legal and medical battle over a 13-year-old who suffered severe complications after a tonsillectomy. the doctors and a judge have declared her brain dead. under california law, that means she's legally deceased. sunday she left the hospital, more on that from dan simon. >> she is out of the hospital now still attached to a ventilator, rolling down a dark highway in a private ambulance. her destination is still a secret. her future is just as certain as it was several weeks ago. she is medically dead according to doctors, only a machine can keep her heart from stopping. yet her family has refused to accept it, and even now speaks in optimistic tones.

>> i hope to have her come back home with 100% full recovery. >> her mother says she'll never let her go. >> she's not a corpse, she's a pretty 13-year-old girl i gave life to. >> together, she and her family's attorney secured a victory to get the teenager to a long term facility. where she's been taken they will not say, because this case has produced such volatile rhetoric. >> we've had people make threats around the country. we will not say where she is. >> we do know that a brain center in new york has publicly welcomed her. >> she's a true survivor, she's a strong little girl. eighth grade, 13 years old, she's in there, and she's fighting all the way. her heart's beating, strong.

the power of prayer, she can come through this. >> these kinds of statements are the problem. and does the family no favors. >> this is a tragedy of huge proportions. anyone who has lost a child, our sympathies have to go out to them. i think to be most sympathetic is not to perpetuate this intermediate state. >> chris dolan insists this is about parental choice, about who has the final say on pulling the plug. >> what the family wanted was a chance. and i think that's what real important to understand is what this legal action was really about. it was about this girl named jahai, but it's also about every parent in the united states that has the right to make that choice not a hospital. >> therein lies the problem

because she did die a month ago. it's a case that seems far from over. >> that's certainly true tonight. dan simon as you just saw. her parents believe there is hope for their daughter. whether or not their hope is justified, it's an agonizing place to be. as a practicing neurosurgeon, dr. sanjay gupta has been there. >>s what her prognosis at this point? >> she has been declared brain dead, and that's an irreversible condition. there's nothing to be said about

what may take place affecting her prognosis. that's the truth when it comes to brain death, we are talking about death. this is just another term for it. >> is brain death different than a persistent vegetative state or being in a coma? >> it is. i know you've done some reporting on this as well, people who have cox and seemingly recovered from comas, this is different. and terms matter here, people can be in a coma and still have brain activity. they can be? a persistent vegetative state. there is no brain activity. the higher brain functions as well as the lower brain functions which control your reflexes in terms of breathing, controlling your heart rate, all these base iic functions of the body. the only way you have those functions at all is artificially through these machines. >> her family says she responds to touch, is that possible with someone who's been pronournnced

brain dead? >> people can have movements that are more reflexive, a result of spinal activity as opposed to the brain. none of this is easy to talk about, i've had these conversations with families. the person who is brain dead is experiencing nothing. so it's not in response to touch, could it be coincidental in some way? perhaps. often times as you might expect, families see what they want to see, and that may be what's happening here as well. >> such a tragedy. i appreciate the update, thanks. >> you got it, thank you. >> so sad, as always, you can find more on this story and others at cnn.com. new details on why liz cheney pulled out of the race for u.s. senate seat in wyoming. we're following the money in colorado where the business business of pot is now legal. we'll take you inside.

new information on why liz cheney has dropped out of the race for senator in wyoming. polls showed mike enzi with a big lead. cheney's campaign was rocky to say the least. there was her public feud with her gay sister over same sex marriage. john king broke the story, he joins me now with some new details. john zm. >> the statement only cites serious family health issues as the reason for dropping out. do we know more? >> i do know more, from

conversations of several close friends of the cheney family. there's some cynics who say she was quitting because she was losing the race. she is dealing right now with two separate health issues and crisis with two of her daughters, and decided she needed to be a mom right now and not a candidate. all indications of the reporting is that these are serious challenges from the family. >> she was far behind in the polls, did she have a chance of winning? >> there were no media polls. there were some polls that showed her trailing 2 to 1 or more to mike enzi. her campaign was not off to a great. she never ran for public office before and that showed. if you look at the history in the last couple cyclesp these tea partiers who take on established candidates.

richard lugar was defeated by a tea party challenger, that race changed late. liz cheney was behind in the polls we could see, i would not say she didn't have a chance. often the race was about her early on. the race was about liz cheney. come primary day had she stayed in, it would have been more and more about the republican. >> she's a neo-con in terms of her foreign policy. not the tradition tea party candidate. >> exactly right. she was someone who came in and said mike enzi is too willing to go along. not tough enough on some issues

or at least she was tougher. this is part of the debate going on in the republican party. you have some who have taken a break from her dad's neo-con views. liz cheney is the opposite, very aggressive saying america has a strong foreign policy. this was an interesting race had it continued. >> even philosophical disagreements within her own family. if you had to wager a guess, you wouldn't rule out a future run? i would not rule out a future reason. and i would not rule out a political future. she's a person time candidate. part of the fact that she was losing early was part of the way too. cumulative effect, she decided

she needed to be a mom right now and liz chain in a wants to be active, most of her friends believe she will run again. she will be active, you can be sure of that. >> john king, thanks very much. there's a lot more happening, susan hendricks has a 360 bulletin. chicago's ban on gun sales is unconstitutional. the law was passed by the city council, the judge stayed his ruling to give city officials time to appeal. the u.s. supreme court has put same sex marriages on hold, while state officials appeal the decision. a federal district court struck down utah's ban on same sex marriage. mary kay letourneau who spent more than seven years in jail. she's accused of driving with a suspended license and arrested again today.

la tourney married her former student, they have two children. in a festival in costa rica, an 1100 pound bull charges and throws a woman right into the stands. there she goes, luckily she survived, she told a local tv station she was terrified at the moment, but now she can laugh about it. seeing that video is amazing. >> unbelievable. susan, thanks very much. just ahead, a lot of people are looking to cash in on colorado's new growth sector, marijuana. you may be surprised by who is looking to invest. we're going to check in on the rescue mission still underway in antarctica. we'll be right back. i have the flu,

i took medicine but i still have symptoms. [ sneeze ] [ male announcer ] truth is not all flu products treat all your symptoms. what? [ male announcer ] alka-seltzer plus severe cold and flu speeds relief to these eight symptoms. [ breath of relief ] thanks. [ male announcer ] you're welcome. ready? go.

colorado as you know, began the year as the first state where you can buy recreational pot. it's a story with huge implications and a lot of different facets. we're going to be focusing on a lot of the different angles, gone to pot. we commissioned 55% said they think marijuana should be legal, more than half. that's a big shift in support. it was 26% in 1996, just 18% in 1973. here's another measure, today, just 35% said smoking mayrijuan is morally wrong. we're going to look at why so many now support the use of marijuana and why so many are against it. many people are looking to cash in, including the state's treasury, randi kaye reports.

>> which one is this? >> hong kong -- >> at the grove in denver, it's hardly business as usual. this marijuana dispensary has gone from serving 25 to 50 customers a day, to about 400 people daily. now, that recreational pot is legal. >> we definitely did get in at the right time. we were able to get in on the bandwagon with the recreational. >> erin and her husband own the grove. before this, they were in the real estate business. when they opened their doors on january 1st, the first day pot was legal here for those 21 and older, they were swamped by customers. >> it was very, very busy. we had people lining up before the doors opened. throughout the day we pretty much had a three to three and a half hour wait. we had people coming in the door just stunned. they were all like kids in a

candy store. >> which is exactly why investment groups are sinking money into colorado. arc view's ceo believes canibus is the next great american industry and predicting 64% growth in the next year. sean phillips says dispensaries can use the money. >> most retailers spent between 50 and $200,000 to get their shops up and going. a large grow could be anywhere from 400,000 to a couple million depending on what they put in it. >> our bestseller is jack flash. it gives you all of the effects, it relaxes you, can put you to sleep. with some of the effects of a sativa which will keep you awake.

>> it's strong. >> it's very strong. >> they've sold about 20 pounds of marijuana every day. colorado residents can buy up to an ounce. >> let me give you an idea what an eighth of an ounce looks like. one of the reasons that they're setting their prices higher here, is that so they don't run out of supply. this is the learning process, the owners know they have to see how it goes, but they do expect prices to come down. >> i think this could be a very big year for us, and the company as a whole. i can't give you specific numbers, i think that we will do probably two or three times what we did last year based on the numbers we've seen so far this year. >> the national canibus industry is anticipating marijuana sales

will exceed $200 million handing the state $67 million in tax revenue. >> are store owners able to keep up with this high demand? >> what's crazy, some dispensaries have run out of their supply already. which is incredible, this is just the first week. here at this grow house, which belongs to sean and erin, they are in no danger of running out of their supply, even though they're open seven days a week. they have 20,000 square feet here filled with marijuana plants. >> the former governor of mon y montana fought to keep marijuana legal while he was in office. >> we passed it by initiative, nearly 70% of montana voted for it. since the bush administration

was enforcing federal law, very few people were willing to tread in that community. there were probably only 100 medical marijuana cards that were issued. the holder, attorney general's office issued the ogden memo telling states who had medical marijuana, if your procedures follow your state law, they were going to be hands off. so we states that had medical marijuana saw a marked increase in consumers and producers. we had 30,000 people who were card carrying marijuana users. main street businesses who invited county commissioners and police to come in, wanted to make sure they were following the letter of the law. we were in the middle of a legislative session. people were concerned that some of these people that got medical marijuana cards were just dudes

that wanted to smoke pot, so they got a doctor to give them a card. >> which is an issue. >> fair enough, we were working on legislation that would close this up a little bit. the legislature sent me a bill repealing. i said, wait a minute, 70% of montana voted for this we're in the middle of crafting this bill that works. the feds came in, arrested a bunch of these people that were the largest producers and put them in federal prison. >> while you were watching that piece, you would say be careful folks in colorado. the federal government still views this as illegal? >> i wouldn't trust them. they did it to us in montana. >> do you believe the legalization for recreational purposes should occur? >> i think colorado and washington is a pretty good experiment. the federal government ought to

let states decide, if a state doesn't want medical marijuana, don't have it. if the state wants it, let them regulation it. >> how much money do you think this could bring the states? >> it's interesting, colorado claims it's a 20% tax, some think it could bring them hundreds of millions of dollars, i don't think we know. >> to those who say, this is a slippery slope, you're going to encourage young people to start to use it, if it's recreational, what do you say? >> we regulate alcohol, and we're not supposed to be selling it to people that aren't old enough to buy it. we're not supposed to be using it when we drive on our highways. sometimes people do. i think probably every city in america, if you want to buy some pot, you can buy some pot from somebody. it's already out there. people have already made those decisions. some people smoke pot now and some will smoke after it's legal. i think we need to watch what

happens in colorado and washington, and if those other 48 states don't want to do that let those states make the decision. >> thank you for being here. >> good to be back. scientists and journalists are pulls from a ship trapped in the ice. ...you could be a victim of fraud. most people don't even know it. fraud could mean lower credit scores... ...and higher interest rates when you apply for a credit card. it's a problem waiting to happen. check your credit score, check your credit report, at experian.com. america's number one provider of online credit reports and scores. don't take chances. go to experian.com.

a new rescue mission is underway off the coast of antarcti antarctica. the good news after nine days trapped on the russian ship, 52 passengers were rescued, taken by helicopter by a chinese icebreaker to an australian

icebreaker. that's the good news, they're on the way. now the chinese ship is stuck, so is the russian ship, and a u.s. coast guard icebreaker is steaming their way to help. alec and lawrence are from britain's guardian paper. the last time i spoke to you guys it was new year's eve here, new year's day where you were. you were in jolly spirits, how are you now? >> we're doing very well. can we say a huge thanks for the captains and crew, everyone's been brilliant, it's fantastic to be heading home now. >> how did the rescue go, the video of it, it looks amazing. >> well, what happened was, we were ready for several days, we've been drilled to get our bags packed and a few hours, the helicopter would arrive, and we would be taken off to the shoot along the chinese icebreaker. it looked like the ship we were

on now, couldn't get to the area. a new plan came into action. the fact that we were there extra days, suddenly we're on board a new ship. we've been trying to get ourselves used to it the last few days. >> the teams are turning down 25 minutes, we got everyone off the ship, really incredibly well. everyone was very friendly. >> alec, i saw you tweeting about a patch of rough weather. the snowstorm in the southern ocean, that must have been tons of fun. >> i was looking at it from where i'm standing now, which is the back deck of the aurora, and it was absolutely beautiful for -- all the way -- both sides. it was a massive snow globe, and we're sort of sailing through open water, which is a novelty for us. we were stuck for about ten days, it was beautiful, rough and scary. >> very, very, very cold.

>> a moment ago, the ship just sort of turned really quite dramatically, there was a curve in the water, we're trying to work out why, we looked out and there were three beautiful whales swimming by the ship. >> that's awesome. >> i understand you're expected to make landfall tomorrow night, are you still on track for that? >> we'll be arriving in casey, i don't believe we'll be getting off the ship. a lot of logistical work to do. we'll be staying put and keeping busy on the ship while they get on with their important scientific research and stuff. >> there has been as you know, some coverage on websites on climate change skeptics who say, who point to the fact that this was a climate change expedition, and it got caught in the ice, they read into that something about climate change. can you explain where the ice came from? why this was an anomaly, why you got caught in the ice? >> yeah, absolutely, the key thing here was, this was

multiyear ice, this isn't a single year ice, we weren't frozen in as much, this was old ice that was remobilized by the weather, for some of it, that ice, which was incredibly thick got swept up. there does seem to be some confusion, the fact that it was -- it was a lot colder and we were frozen in, this wasn't the case, it was old ice. >> the professor's being very polite there, i have no such kpunks. there's vulgar stuff out there about this. this wasn't climate change, it was just a weather event, and the ice was old ice, it didn't form this year, so it makes no sense, the arguments make no sense that we're hearing from except ticks out there. >> terms -- obviously this has been a huge adventure, what happened, the fact that you're still out there, is there something you will miss the most
