quickly, i wanted to look at how much snow is going to fall. inland, 4 to 8 inches, central new york, up in parts of vermont and new hampshire, 8 plus. and then quick, quick, quick, i want to look at the west coast. this is a big deal. i think this is a bigger deal than the east by far. next four days going to be messy from northwest to southeast. 70-mile-an-hour winds. rain over a foot in some places. i'll be talking much more about this coming up. >> a lot more to get. okay, thanks, ginger, very much. and turn now to the top secret torture report set for release this morning. it will detail the cia's harsh interrogation techniques after 9/11. fearing a backlash, american military bases and embassies are on high alert around the world right now. martha raddatz has new information about this report. >> reporter: yes, good morning, george. it is the very graphic descriptions of the so-called enhanced interrogations that will stand out in this report. and one section in particular that a person familiar with it says goes beyond even waterboarding.

that interrogation method that simulates drowning. this section, they say, will describe methods that are sexually demeaning. but at the heart of the release today is the conclusion from majority democrats on the senate intelligence committee that the interrogations did not make the country safer. and that the cia misled the bush administration about the program, george. >> as, you know, martha, a number of former cia directors set to rebut the report. and we have seen former vice president dick cheney come out. >> reporter: as to the allegations that the program was some sort of rogue operation, vice president cheney told "the new york times" i think that's all a bunch of hooey. the program was authorized. and to charges that president bush was misled by the cia, he says that is a crock. but u.s. officials remain very concerned about the reaction to this report around the world. >> yeah, this is a highly charged issue. all right, martha, thank you

very much. we're going to turn to president obama. he's not expected to speak about the report today. but he appeared in a pair of revealing interviews last night. jon karl has that. >> reporter: these were two very different interviews. in one, the president soberly reflected on race relations. in the other, he played barack obama, comedian. >> you didn't start this. >> reporter: on b.e.t., president obama talked about meeting with some of the young people leading the protests in ferguson, and how he can personally relate to their frustrations. >> my mind went back to what it was like for me when i was 17, 18, 20. part of the reason i got into politics was to figure out, how can i bridge some of those gaps? >> reporter: and for his daughters and future children, he offered hope. >> i want my grandsons to be treated like anybody else's grandsons. but i don't want them to be subjected to the kind of

constant bias that makes them feel as if this is not their home. >> reporter: changing his tone on comedy central, he turned the tables on stephen colbert. >> i was about to do the word, sir. >> reporter: poking fun at healthcare.gov's rocky launch. >> remember the original healthcare.gov website, i think that's where disney got the idea for "frozen." >> reporter: colbert joked about the many leadership changes at the pentagon. >> i'll give it to you. you have employed a lot of people. >> we have. >> mostly as secretary of defense. >> reporter: colbert also poked the president on his immigration executive order calling it emperor barackus maximus the first. and asked him when he decided he wants to burn the constitution. the president takes a more serious look that today, heading to nashville to talk to an
