>> good morning. it's a good thing they are closed. we just got news parts of i-20 westbound near shreveport closed down thanks to the snow flying and all the way to kentucky and ohio. windchill warnings from montana to oklahoma and advisories here from corpus christi up to providence, rhode island. overnight, wicked winter weather taking over the roads. from wisconsin to ohio, to missouri, snow sending cars sliding, semis jackknifing on the freeway leaving traffic backed up for miles. and look at this video out of kentucky. black ice sending this car spinning before slamming into a police cruiser. in the northeast -- >> water was like 5 inches below the windowsill. >> creating ice jams threatening entire towns. water rushing downstreams spilling into nearby communities. in alabama, a state of emergency declared. and in texas, more than 660 flights delayed or canceled as fears grow that this storm could paralyze parts of the state. our marcus moore was on the ground in dallas.

>> this is some of the material that you would put down on the road. >> crews working long hours to prevent ice from building up on bridges and overpasses. the texas department of transportation using nearly 200 pieces of equipment to pretreat some 10,000 miles of roads in dallas alone. but still dozens of schools closed this morning. >> because we don't see a lot of this, it's important that we tell drivers that, look, if you don't have to be out on the road then by all means stay home. >> so, if you're in college station or houston this morning, it's raining and transition to freezing rain and even new orleans in that winter weather advisory. the snowy parts sticks from virginia up to western virginia. tomorrow morning is where the coastal low wraps in warm moisture and you could end up seeing 3 to 6 inches of snow in some of the coastal areas of new england. 2 to 4 closer to new york city here. michael, it gets really cold and i'm talking real cold deep south. i'll talk about that in a bit. >> thank you, ginger.

my mom told me last night, stay in. don't go anywhere but be safe. >> good advice. we turn to that disturbing discovery in california. two parents accused of abusing their children holding 13 of them captive in their own home. they were found after one of them escaped and got help. our senior national correspondent matt gutman is on the scene for us in perris, california. good morning, matt. >> reporter: good morning, robin. this quint community with four cars in the driveway, the manicured lawns around here belie the horrors that police say were happening inside. they say those 13 children physically and psychologically abused perhaps for decades and when they got them out, they were so malnourished they looked like teenagers. this hid the darkest of secrets. in this exclusive video you see david and louise turpin

handcuffed and led out of what police described as a house of horrors. their 13 children, the youngest just 2 years old, living in dungeonlike conditions and police discovered this scene on sunday after one of the children, a 17-year-old girl, grabbed a cell phone, escaped and dialed 911. police units swarmed and inside police say they discovered the 12 remaining children shackled to their beds with chains and padlocks. seven of the children they discovered were actually adults, ranging in age from 18 to 29. but they looked much younger, investigators say, because they were so malnourished. >> they were very, very pale skinned like almost like they've never seen the sun. >> reporter: david turpin's parents telling abc news overnight that he said he had so many children because god called on them to. david turpin's parents saying the children were given strict homeschooling and according to

public records, turpin was the principal of the sand castle day school registered at the same address. >> looking in her eyes and repeating after me, i, david. >> i, david. >> i take thee louise. >> i take thee louise. >> reporter: the couple renewing their vows at an elvis chapel with the boys and girls in identical haircuts and outfits. there were also pictures of what seemed like happy family vacations to disneyland but neighbors recall only seeing the children recently outside late at night rolling out sod on the lawn. >> everybody was super skinny and not athletic skinny like malnourished. >> how old did she look? >> they seemed very young. >> reporter: both parents are under arrest for multiple counts of torture and child endangerment, they're held on a $9 million bail each. now, when i spoke to david turpin's parents, they said they

seemed like a happy family although the last time they did see the kids, they said, they did look thin. now, they described that strict bible background in which those kids were taught to memorize large passages of the bible. now, that 17-year-old girl that we mentioned who escaped, police and neighbors told me she was so emaciated they mistook her for a 10-year-old. all those kids now being evaluated at a hospital. >> get the care they need. just horrible. all right, matt. >> how could all those signs have gone unnoticed? we'll move on to the white house and new fallout for president trump over the vulgar and racially charged comments he made about africa and haiti in the oval office. facing condemnation across the country and around the world, the president is doubling down with a new attack on the only democrat in the meeting. jon karl has all the latest. jon, all could increase the chances of a government shutdown friday. >> reporter: it sure looks grim, george, with all the name-calling and back and forth and distrust, the two sides seem

to be miles apart from a deal and democrats have made it clear if they do not have protection for the d.r.e.a.m.ers, they will not agree to extend government funding. what republicans are going to try to do now is, temporarily extend government funding and actually, george, i have talked to both democrats and republicans involved in the negotiations who believe that ultimately there will be a deal on this, in fact, it's quite possible that the president's explosive comments have actually put more pressure on the republicans to make a deal. >> put more pressure on republicans but it moves the democrats further away and learning more about that meeting, even "the washington post" reporting that the president after the meeting wasn't denying the comments at all. calling his friends to see how it was playing. >> reporter: exactly, george. you know, i followed this in realtime, talked to people who were either briefed on the meeting or in the meeting. the white house's denials, the republican denials took days to

actually happen. there's no question that the president made explosive comments, whether or not they were precisely as first reported may be in question. >> okay, we'll have more on this coming up. jon, thanks very much. it's a busy day on capitol hill. the president's former chief strategist steve bannon on the hot seat answering questions in that russia investigation. in the wake, of course, of that bombshell book "fire and fury." our senior justice correspondent pierre thomas has more and, pierre, bannon is not the only one heading to the hill. >> reporter: robin, good morning. two of president trump's closest confidants are expected on capitol hill this week to testify about russia. steve bannon being interviewed by the house intelligence committee right now, it's anticipated that the new book by michael wolff continues to haunt the administration. former white house chief

strategist steve bannon arrived to be grilled by house intelligence committee investigators today behind closed doors. >> obviously have a lot of questions based on his comments in the book. >> reporter: in michael wolff's book friar "fire and fury" now a best-seller he allegedly called don junior's meeting with russians treasonous and unpatriotic. the chance that don junior did not walk them up to his father's office is zero. >> what's the basis for his assertion that he met with the participants, the president's knowledge as well as his concerns over money laundering. >> reporter: bannon allegedly told wolff don junior would crack like an egg on national tv and wolff claims that bannon openly suggested to jared kushner, the president's son-in-law and former campaign chairman paul manafort might have been involved in financial crimes. the white house denouncing wolff's book and the president saying in a statement that bannon had lost his mind. bannon is expected to face hours of questions as these

congressional hearings behind closed doors are often marathons. and with all this attention from the book and today's congressional appearance special counsel mueller might want to talk to him as well. >> another former top trump campaign aide also heading to the hill. >> reporter: that's right. corey lewandowski is expected before the same committee on thursday and, robin, manafort is due back in court today for a hearing to discuss his upcoming trial on allegations of money laundering. another week of russia being front and center. let's talk to matthew dowd and meghan mccain of "the view." meghan, let's begin with you. this new attack on senator durbin. it seems like whenever the white house gets a head of steam the president gets in the way. >> if there's one thing trump supporters and non-trump supporters can agree on, they want the president to stop tweeting. all of these wounds are self-inflicted and the fact he

keeps saying things that are -- you know, things that i can't say on television and then trying to backtrack and sort of switch the narrative from what he said about the blank holes over the weekend is fascinating but i found it completely tone deaf given it was martin luther king day. >> the president's ability to get his allies to go along with him on these stories. >> well, it's an amazing situation and i'll agree with meghan on all of this. this is a guy who had a victory within his grasp and then through a series of fumbles and personal fouls, he's put himself in a situation where he has to be like case keenum to throw a 61-yard pass to stefon diggs to win it when it was a victory he already had. but it's amazing to me -- the thing that's amang to me he congress to provide the checks and balances on this president who seemed to constantly go along with the crazy stuff he does. >> and, meghan, do you agree with what jon karl is reporting, this puts more pressure on republicans now to get a deal on immigration?

>> yes, 100%, but this -- the blank hole that i can't say on national television, i thought that was a siren song sort of signal tbae thf ose supporters. if you watch anything on cable news, everyone from tucker carlson to ann coulter was losing their minds at the idea of a daca deal actually being put forth and i think he's struggling with the fact that daca is immensely popular not just with republicans but with democrats as well, and it's in the nation's best interest in my opinion to continue on with the bill but at the same time when you run on mexicans are immigrants or rapists and cias and sort of have this siren song against the base i think that he's struginwi wthheerth >> we've heard in those first hours the president seemed to think it was playing okay for him before he came out with denials.teigence committee, those comments he made about the russia investigation inflammatory in the "fire and fury" book.ti is, will he stick by them under oath? >> we're in a fundamentally bizarre territory where donald

trump fired basically three campaign managers, one paul manafo indictment, two campaign managers as i say were also fired are now going to testify on the hill related to whether or not theus ras si coordination or russian wre collusion in the midst of this. this is uncharted territory, george, that we have never seen in a president in the first year in office. m>> see whether bannon continues to turn in the hearings because he did with michael wolff. he's completely toothless at this point. no funding from the mercers so this seems like a situation where he might turn and give us some of the information i think all of us are waiting to hear. >> we will be watching. thank you both very much. michael. >> thank you, george. now to the dangerous and deadly flu. it h's nngtirl in the country hard and abc's steve osunsami is at cdc headquarters in in odnistatlanta >> rerepwhorter:

michael. this particular strain of flu we're seeing the most is hardest on children and senior, already over the past couple of weeks, the number of children hospitalized across the country has doubled. which makes this meeting today here at the cdc especially timely. this morning, this 38-year-old father and picture of health needs machines to breathe after con th t >> 24-howiurow pmier diod nghe talking to me on the phone to being in the bed on these machines struggling to live. 24 hours is fast >> reporter: the cdc is calling it an epidemic sweeping across nearly every state and there are 13 more weeks of the flu season still to go. >> this is just a problem bug. we hate it when this big shows up. >> reporter: this year's most prevalent strain is also the most deadly, 20 children have already died and more than

60,000 americans have tested positive for the flu this season. died within 47 hours and her family even believes she had already gotten the flu shot. a n ijust thought she'd be back >> reporter: today, the cdc's planned workshop on nuclear attack preparedness was scrapped at the last minute for the flu. they're sounding this alarm instead. here in atlanta, the number of patients with the flu showing up at hospitals has more than doubled. >> we've tested nearly twice as many patients as we have the year before and we're seeing about four times as much flu. >> reporter: another problem, hospitals need bags of i.v. fluid to treat the flu and there's a shortage after hurricane maria shut down a factory in puerto rico. at mass general in boston, they're having to give some stomach tube instead. they say it's still not too late to get a flu shot.

something. >> reporter: his depression which he refers to as mr. d has never left him and drove him to a place last year where he once again thought about ending it all. did it scare you? >> at first it did, yeah. you know, it's weird. you kind of become acclimatized, it becomes almost like a fend and, yeah, a way 0 get away from the pain. >> why did you decide not to do it. >> i worked my way through it. which i've always done. >> do you have suicidal thoughts a lot? >> my god, yeah, but it's part of my makeup. >> how do you explain it to your children? you have two boys. >> they see the darkness in me. you know, none of them go, what, they see it. you know, and i've been very open with them. >> what do you think it would do to your family? >> oh, it would devastate them at the really dark moment, that is a non-issue. >> you're not thinking about that. >> no. >> you're not thinking about your family. >> you think they'll get through

it and they will because we're human beings and we deal with stuff. >> what are you thinking about? >> just getting out. when it gets to that point that the pain is pretty intolerable. >> you have legions of fans but they're baffled as to why you would feel the way that you do when you have accomplished so much. >> accomplishment is nothing. it doesn't change who you are. that's the big belief. fame and success and money do not heal. >> reporter: he copes through meditation and medication. he channels most of his depression into his writing and music. >> pick up a guitar or start writing, that's what i do wit. i don't know where i'd be if i didn't have that outlet. >> reporter: the rocker now hoping his story can help the many battling this disease. what do you want people to cull from your story. >> i want them to have hope and know that the moment will pass. i mean, i'm an example of the moment passing because i've been there a couple of times and

haven't, you know -- for want of a better phrase pulled the trigger. >> that will pass but his depression he says will never go away and he doesn't know where he would be without his music but it's not just one thing, it's meditation, it's medication when it gets really bad for him and hugging his dog being grateful and it's channeling all of those feelings into his music. >> thank you for sharing that with us, paula. appreciate it. ginger and i will have a conversation with jen about it and, of course, you've been very open in your new book about depression. >> much like him for that exact reason and it's been surreal to hear the number of people who are dealing with it right now as we're talking this morning. >> yeah so what is the number? >> when you talk about the who, guys, 19 million americans, that includes children and teenagers and adults. this is the estimation and when you talk about who, listen, depression does not discriminate. this affects the ole, the young, the rich, the poor, famous, all ethnic groups. if you ask someone what the

typical person with depression looks like it looks like any of us and it looks like rick springfield >> that's the hardest thing is knowing the signs and i think that's what family members have reach out and asked me what do i look for? for me self-harm and depression came along with isolation. that was the first thing, when i pulled back and became anti-social, when i really kept myself alone, what are the some of the other -- >> there is a very long list, some are up here on this graphic. but, you know, signs of feeling empty, lack of interest, a change in your eating feeling tearful. you need to know these signs and symptoms, not just for yourself but to recognize them in other people because if you ask someone are you depressed they're not going to be offended by that you're not make a social judgment but a potentially life-saving decision. >> talk about the difference here. many of us experience sadness.

it goes far beyond that and people want to know how it can be treated. >> listen, the good news is there are more treatment options than ever before when you talk about the depression. you know, therapy and counseling are really important. medications can be life saving. brain stimulation, supments, clinical trial, tlement fry therapies and the key is asking for help or approaching someone else struggling and we have to be crystal clear. the analogy i like to give to patients is think of a flower being deprived of water. maybe it'll just result in some dry roots or maybe it will kill the plant. this is a medical condition that can have a range of severity. it can be mild that people live with every single day or it can be fatal. >> how have you dealt with it. >> for me it's people around me that have asked me are you going to hurt yourself. so it's gone that deep and then for me it took hospitalization. it really took committing to therapy and honesty with myself because there was a long time where i couldn't be honest with

myself and when i did that that's when things changed. it sounds like he found it in his music and he's talking about it so that alone, you've healed. >> in dropping that stigma. >> and dropping the stigma and you help do that and rick is doing that too. why are we so -- because if you have cancer anything else you talk about that. >> high blood pressure, you would treat it. this is no different. >> thank you, jen. michael. >> all right, i got to say we appreciate your honesty. we will rely do. we'll move on to the fight against the deadly flu. health officials say this season could be the worst in years and many think gloves and scarves help you stay healthy, right? but it could make you more sick. t.j., you have it all. >> people put their gloves on and you want to keep your hands warm. some use it as a protective layer. you don't want to touch your bare hand to the subway bar or the front door. what do you do with your glove, you wipe your nose, take it off with your hand. that's nasty and it also defeats

the purpose. bundling up protecting you from feeling cold but what about getting one? do you think it helps you at all when you're out to have your gloves on instead of touching things with your bare hands? >> yes. >> yes. >> yeah. >> if you don't bundle up enough, you increase your chance of catching the flu. >> totally false. >> totally false? >> yeah, i go out to the gym in a t-shirt and shorts. it's a block away but i don't get a cold. >> reporter: this woman would only speak to me through her scarve. >> probably. >> reporter: so when is right? previously becky worley checked people's gloves including "gma" staffers for bacteria and environments. >> how often do you watch your gloves. >> never. i never think about it. >> reporter: the results while most are harmless, nine of those tested positive for bacterial like staff and mercy which could be dangerous. one sample with the coronavirus which doctors say is one of the causes of the common cold, we showed the segment to dr. karen

lattimore a family physician in new jersey asking this time about the flu virus and gloves. >> one of the reasons that we get the coal and the flu in the wintertime is because our nasal passages are colder and the viruses that like the colder environments will then be able to live and thrive in your nasal passages. >> reporter: do those gloves really protect you? is there they can give us a false sense of security. the virus is on your gloves is the same if you didn't have gloves on at all if you touch your face. you touch a surface that has the flu virus on it with gloves or without gloves then you touch your face end result will be the same. >> reporter: as for other cold weather gear. >> i would advise about hats and scarves, you don't share them during cold and flu season. more that it would get you sick, if you were sick it would get somebody else sick. >> keep that in mind. scar scarf no medical evidence it will keep you safe.

versace's mansion. what was that like? was it eerie? was it helpful. >> i think it was helpful for everyone, not only the cast but everyone involved because we could -- we started there actually we started with the destination, that was the first scene so it really helped us to get all the energy and, listen, we showed on those steps shall the steps where he was killed, i mean right there so the energy was there but there was a moment that we were shooting maybe four scenes at the same time and then i remember that at the end of the day we were all, you know like regrouping and then realized that that house was built for creativity and for people to realize their creative dreams and then in a way i think we were able to bring for a moment to bring back that creativity to that house so it was kind of like a celebration of, you know, dreams and

creative thinking, it was beautiful. i mean and we wanted to see it that way. >> i tell you what, a lot of people can't wait to see this.
