and he's back. the rocket man returning overnight, and we're not talking about michael strahan. elton john rocking out on stage after a two-year hiatus. good morning, america. he is back. a sold-out show in new orleans overnight. >> you looked at me. i'm, like, yeah, i've been back. >> the one time we're not playing the song for you. >> thank you, i love it. we do have a lot of news to get to including that breaking news from overnight on capitol hill. george, you will speak with the vice president live in just a few minutes. >> she is standing by after a late night on the floor and a big setback, the voting rights bill blocked again. his stalled agenda, ukraine, so much more at his marathon press conference and will follow up with the vice president this morning. millions waking up to dangerous icy conditions as the

northeast braces for snow and ice this morning. ginger is tracking it all. good morning, ginger. >> reporter: michael, we've made the switch from rain to snow. things will get slicker on the roads behind me and beyond just like in colorado. see those pictures. that was a freezing drizzle situation. parts of the dooep south have to look out for this. first, look at arkansas, one to three inches of snow there. now we'll see what happens this morning. places like philadelphia, new york city or boston will see snow. it is followed by serious artic air. that's fueling that southern part of the storm. it's all kind of connected along the same front. that front brings in serious numbers. feels like 25 in greenville. 21 below in minneapolis. an ice storm warning that includes myrtle beach.

cecelia? >> all right, ginger, i know you'll be tracking it all for us. we turn to the breaking news overnight out of washington, senate democrats failing to overcome republicans who block voting rights legislation just hours, of course, after president biden's marathon press conference. our congressional correspondent rachel scott on capitol hill all night long, rachel, good morning to you. >> reporter: good morning. it was a very late night here on capitol hill and it ended in a blistering defeat for president biden just one year into office. voting rights legislation failing once again in the senate. every republican senator voting against it, calling it a power grab, a federal takeover of the election system. the measure would have made election day a federal holiday. it would have expanded mail-in voting, early voting. every democrat supported this and tried a last-ditch effort to change the senate rules to pass it without any republican support. that was blocked by two members of the president's own party, senator joe manchin and senator kyrsten sinema. take a look moments after that vote failed.

republicans lining up one by one to thank senator kyrsten sinema. senator mitt romney patting her on the back. overnight the president released a statement saying he is disappointed but he is not deterred. he even suggested this legislation could be broken up into smaller pieces. the reality is, after a year of pressing forward with trying to get this passed, democrats have failed five times. george? >> rachel scott, thanks very much. of course, the president defended his record in a marathon press conference before the vote which covered all the major issues facing the white house. vice president kamala harris will join us live after these highlights from senior white house correspondent mary bruce. good morning, mary. >> reporter: good morning, george. well, for over an hour and a half the president was grilled on his first year in office. he touted his accomplishments, but with his top legislative priorities stalled on the hill and his poll numbers lagging,

the president also forced to play defense and admit he is going to have to make some changes. this morning, president biden conceding he has to break up his sweeping agenda if he hopes to get anything done. >> yes. >> do you need to be more realistic and scale down these priorities north to get something passed? >> no. i don't think so. i'm not asking for castles in the sky. i'm asking for practical things the american people have been asking for for a long time. >> so far that strategy isn't working. is there anything that you are confident you can get signed into law before the midterm elections? >> yes, i'm confident we can get pieces, big chunks of the build back better law signed into law. >> reporter: the president eventually acknowledging he will have to settle for smaller victories and push for parts of his massive social spending bill. >> i think we can break the package up, get as much as we can now, come back and fight for the rest later. own party standing in the way of his push for voting rights, the president says that may have to be done piecemeal too. >> i think we will be able to get significant pieces of the legislation if we don't get it all now.

>> reporter: one year ago biden came to office promising he could cut deals with republicans. he insists he didn't overpromise but says he was caught off guard. >> i did not anticipate that there would be such a stalwart effort to make sure that the most important thing was that president biden didn't get anything done. think about this. what are republicans for? what are they for? name me one thing they're for. >> reporter: on the pandemic he touted his response so far but also admitted a misstep. >> the idea that on testing we've done -- we should have done it quicker but we've done remarkable since then. i don't view that as somehow a mark of incompetence. >> reporter: as tensions with russia rise, the president making news predicting vladimir putin will the u.s. and european allies will respond. >> russia will be held table it

depends on what it does. it's one thing if it's a minor incursion and end up with a fight on what to do but if they actually do what they're capable of doing with the forces amassed on the border, it will be a disaster for russia. >> reporter: the white house later clarifying any movement of russian forces across the ukrainian border will be met with a swift, severe and united response from the united states and our allies. now, the president also outlined what we can expect in year two, admitting they've had some communication challenginchallen. he said he will spend less time in washington and more out in the country speaking directly with voters. looking ahead to the midterm elections, the president says he will be deeply involved out there making the case for democrats. and as for 2024, george, the president setting the record straight, yes, he is going to run again and he says, yes, kamala harris will be his running mate. george? >> mary bruce, thanks very much. the vice president joins us now. kamala harris, thank you for joining us this morning. congratulations on the anniversary.

i want to begin with ukraine and an adviser to the president told abc news this morning there is a lot of shock and dismay about the president's comments on ukraine. he's facing criticism for appearing to give a green light to a minor russian incursion into ukraine. what did the president mean by minor incursion and what would be the u.s. response? >> good morning, george. pdb, the presidential daily brief, which as you know contains classified information about threats to our national security and hot spots around the world. i am often in the situation room with the president, with the leaders of our military and intelligence community and what i can tell you is that the president has been very clear that if russia takes aggressive action, it will be met with serious, severe and a unified response and consequences and that position that we have taken is grounded in a number of

values that we hold dear including the importance of respecting the sovereignty and territorial integrity in this case of ukraine and we have not wavered from that perspective. we have been very clear with our partners and allies and with vladimir putin through various levels of discussions over a period of several weeks if not months. >> so any movement of russian forces into ukraine, even if it's not a full-scale invasion of kiev, will be met by severe sanction and perhaps a military response? >> we will interpret any violation of ukraine's sovereignty and territorial integrity by russia and vladimir putin as an aggressive action and it will be met with costs, severe and certain. >> let's talk about voting rights. you said after the vote last night you were presiding in the senate chamber that the administration is not going to give up on the issue. what does that mean exactly? are there executive actions the president could take that would accomplish the same goals?

>> well, first, i appreciate you raising this issue because it is just foundational to our democracy and i was there last night because there are two bills before the united states senate, the john lewis voting rights act and freedom to vote act. they were designed -- i'm going to tell you why they were designed because this is the reason we won't give up on it. they were designed to push back against the blatant and purposeful attempt by many state ness our country to make it more difficult for all americans to vote. there are laws that have been passed in our country that will reduce or eliminate drop boxes. why is that important? if you're a single parent, you got three kids in the backseat of the car, you don't have the ability to stand in line for hours to vote but you want to vote so you could fill out a ballot and then drive by a drop box and drop it off. if you are an american with a disability and it is extremely difficult for you to go to where the polling place is, you can vote by mail but there are restrictions being placed on vote by mail. when we look at laws that have been passed, that make it illegal to give people who are

standing in line to vote food and water. we know this is a violation of the spirit that we hold dear about our democracy in terms of the importance of everyone's right to vote and every eligible american's right to vote. >> you believe it's important. i see that. there's no question about that. the president is saying that. what are you going to do now? it's not getting through the senate. >> we won't give up on legislation because ultimately that's one of the most important aspects of what we must do to correct the actions happening in various states, but there are other actions. for example, the department of justice has initiated investigations and actions, civil action as it relates to various laws that are a violation of our constitution, letter and spirit. there is work that we will continue to do that is about convening folks around the country to uplift the message and to include what we need to do to expand the ability of all americans to understand what's at stake because, george, i'll

tell you -- this is why i'm glad we're having this conversation. you would probably not be surprised to know how many people in the midst of the everyday burden of life are unaware of what's happening and so part of our mission is to ensure that folks know what is happening to their neighbor, what is happening in their neighboring states and ultimately what will contribute to a weakening of our democracy. we started the conversation on foreign policy. i have met with presidents and prime ministers who are leaders of our partner and ally countries and i will tell you, it frequently comes up they ask, well, what about the issue of voting in america because you hold yourself out to be a role model of what it means to be a democracy. this is one of the most important pillars of a democracy and it appears there is an erosion in america. well, that is an issue we should take seriously in terms of our ability to argue for the strength of democracies versus autocracies and there is a direct connection between this and what we need to do in terms of securing our national security and securing our standing in the world. all these issues are related.

>> madam vice president, final question, you were sworn in one year ago today. reflect on that. how has this experience changed you? >> that's a great question. you know what, i will tell you one of the ways is that there's no question that we came in office during a confluence of crises and to the extent that i've been able to travel, i have met some of the most extraordinary people, americans in our country. i mean, we are, in fact, announcing today $100 million going to health care workers. let's remember from the beginning of the pandemic to today, these are folks who are the heroes among us who at the beginning even when we didn't have vaccines went to work every day taking risks in terms of their own health and well-being, in service of people who are perfect strangers to them. i've met small business owners who have kept the payroll going, even though they were at the very end of what they could do financially but they knew they

had to keep the business open for the sake of their community and their employees. i've met teachers who are committed to going to school and working each day, even though their resources are so few but their mission is so important. and so there is a lot about a crisis that really does reveal the heroes among us and in that way, i feel very inspired. i think we all should. >> madam vice president, thank you for your time this morning. >> thank you. good to be with you. >> michael? >> george, thank you. as you said, president biden's comments on ukraine raised a lot of questions. the reaction overnight was immediate. our senior foreign correspondent ian pannell is there on the ground. good morning, ian. >> reporter: yeah, good morning, michael. that's right. an adviser to ukrainian president zelensky telling abc news the shock and dismay about biden's comments that seemed to suggest a green light to a minor russian invasion. i think that reflects a wider mood of concern. one senior ukrainian military source saying it is so frustrating and, of course, all of this making secretary of state blinken's job in berlin

today all the harder where he is meeting other european foreign ministers trying to forge unity and a strong message to moscow. this, as russian brings more forces and equipment amassing around ukraine's borders. this coming from the baltic states with american approval. not only anti-tank missiles but the lithuanian defense ministry telling abc news that american made surface-to-air missiles will be delivered to kiev. this is going to be a major red flag to moscow and really risks souring relations further. secretary of state blinken meeting the russian foreign minister friday as the time for diplomacy seems to be running out. the ukrainians are worried washington and europe are being played by putin into taking up a vice. the ukrainian minister of defense saying the civilized

world is still playing chess with russia but russia is playing poker with you. george? >> stakes are high, ian pannell, thanks very much. we turn to the breaking news from the supreme court rejecting donald trump's claims of executive privilege to clear the way for the release of hundreds of records from the trump white house to the congressional committee investigating the january 6th insurrection. chief washington correspondent jon karl has the story. good morning, jon. >> reporter: good morning, george. this is a big deal. this is going to give the january 6th committee access to records that would normally have been kept under seal for years, in some cases even decades. they will have access to visitor logs, phone logs, to communications between top white house officials. the committee had also requested photographs and video records, those would be turned over, as well. this has the potential to open up an entirely new window into what was going on at the white house as the capitol was under attack and in the days before that. and, george, on another note, this is a major defeat for donald trump. he fought mightily to keep these records secret and the supreme court resoundingly rejected that request including all three justices that he nominated.

he will be infuriated by this. >> no question. jon karl, thanksmuch. a lot more coming up on "gma." including bob saget's widow kelly rizzo speaking about his final days. the new warning about the qr codes. first back to ginger. >> reporter: you don't often see winter alerts in corpus christi or austin, but they've got it. look what happens when the same front develops the ice and snow. we're talking south carolina all the way up to north carolina, even virginia beach. i'm concerned about more than a quarter inch of ice along the coast. let's get the snowy cities now sponsored by amazon.

out of the pandemic and sports science shows that shorter, more frequent workouts of less than 15 minutes can produce similar health gains. >> the number one reason people give for not committing to regular exercise is time, the aggregate of small bouts of movement throughout the day, five minutes here, ten minutes there, at the end of the day it all adds up. >> reporter: the most impactful option is high intensity interval training or hiit. 10 to 15 minutes taking your heart way up has been shown to improve cardiovascular health, blood sugar stability and blood pressure levels but what's really new in the mindset around shorter workouts comes from strength training, body weight exercises and yoga classes all facilitated online. >> at least a five-minute bout of resistance exercise has been shown to contribute to muscular strength, muscular endurance, psychological benefits. >> reporter: recent studies show

positive effects are achieved whether resistance training is done in long session or shorter bouts. >> we don't need a special outfit, special shoe, special equipment. wherever you are, whatever you're doing, you can do something physical. >> reporter: in ten minutes you don't get super sweaty so i can just go back to what i was doing before. but with a sense of accomplishment that i broke up my day with a few little workout snacks. now, experts advise setting an alarm that goes off a couple types a day signaling a workout break. you can plan them in advance, maybe arms and then core or legs, and because there isn't a big warm-up period, you do have to listen to your body if you feel a muscle twinge or any pain that's not just fatigue. but, guys, when i think of these workouts like a snack, none of my normal excuses work. >> you answered our question. we were like how do you manage this with a shower. you don't get that sweaty. workout snacks is the way to go. ginger, over to you.

in 30 minutes. you can find the latest on our app and abc7news.com. the news continues now with "good morning america." ♪ just a good vibration ♪ ♪ it's a sweet sensation ♪ it's a rainy thursday morning here in times square and we say welcome back to "gma" and the winter olympics in beijing is kicking off in two weeks and this morning, we're excited to have four-time olympian and only snowboarder ever to have won three gold medals, shaun white, joining us. shaun, great to have you back on "gma" this morning, my friend. >> yeah, thanks for having me. >> it's great to see you. now we'll start off a little throwback thursday because you posted this photo of you on a podium as a kid reflecting back on your 23-year career. so what does it mean to be heading to your fifth olympics? >> gosh, it's incredible.

you know, to be atop a sport like this for this long i feel so honored to be doing that. and it's so wild because when i look around, everybody in the area are all people i used to compete with, you know, they're coaches now, they got their kids on their shoulders and i'm still at it. i'm still going but i'm so honored to make the team is just incredible and i get to be an olympian again, you know, get to run out of the tunnel with team usa and it's so exciting. >> you're not just there, you're crushing it by the way. have you decided -- have you decided that this will be your last one? >> yes, i did. you know, that was something that just kind of -- you know, you look for those little signs and i was having, you know, little knee injury here, a little ankle injury there, just these little things and i remember my back hurting one day and my buddies were like, what happened and i was like, nothing, it just hurts. [ laughter ]

those little things, so, yeah, this will be my last run and i'm pretty excited about it because i've got this last dance sort of glow to it. >> that's the exciting part and so unusual because it's taking place during the pandemic. what kind of precautions are you taking? >> you know, we've been trying to keep in our little bubble. you know, just to select friends and family, physical therapist i have with me, but it's been difficult. you are know, everybody is testing, doing the best they can and i think that's all you can do is just try to keep everybody safe and i know that going over to china, i mean, we are testing every other day right now. it's pretty intense and but it's nice they're taking those precautions. >> good to take them. it will look and feel different, beijing, i know you know this. there's not going to be friends and fans and family in the stands and out there watching like normal. how does that impact you?

how does that impact the other athletes, do you think? >> you know, it's intense. i look back on my career and my first olympics and i'll never forget winning and sliding down and seeing my whole family and they're just crying and tears of joy and, you know, the whole crowd and that feeling you get so it's going to be different, but honestly i salute them for putting this on in such a challenging time. if they keep postponing it in hopes that things get a little better, i might not be able to compete, other athletes might not be able to compete. so i think it's great that they're doing it and i think we'll just do our best. i do know we do feed off the crowd so that's going to be difficult. >> yeah, that energy definitely does help. and you won your first olympic gold in 2006 when you were 19. well, now you're 35. >> uh-huh. >> so how do you prepare differently now than you did back then?

>> well, i had longer hair back then so it's a little easier routine these days. no, i don't know. i think every single time i go to the olympics it's just a different process. i mean, and i always kind of, you know, think that, what got me to this point in my career won't necessarily take me the rest of the way so not only have i been focusing a lot on my physical health, but just like the mental health of it all, staying positive and staying motivated and like the people that are around me, but, you know, i think it's more calculated practice sessions. i would say it's more like a power window than i used to be up there all day long like, okay, i don't have that much energy as i used to. i'm not, you know, an old guy by any means b. you, you know, at the last competition one of my competitors was like 15, i was like, oh, my goodness. so i'm definitely like pacing it out a bit more and take a lot more time to recover so i'll take my off days and it's definitely more calculated now.

>> shaun, we got to ask back in 2018 you had that amazing final run. you nailed it. you did those two jumps spinning around four times in the air, 1440 if i got that right, how are you going to top that? >> yeah, yep. goodness. you know, it's going to be an incredible competition. there's talk of triple corks now, these triple flips that are happening. a lot of the japanese riders have been attempting those. there's talks of doing a 16 which is 180 past the 1440 but it'll be incredible. i don't want to give anything away but working on some new moves and i'm hoping that everything really peaks once i get to the competition. you know, once i see the start gate and competitors and get to drop in. >> what else are you working on besides the olympics? >> my goodness. great question.

you know, it's so funny because as one door closes with my competitive career, another one opens and i started a snowboarding company with my brother. oh, it's right behind me. a little product placement. but it's so much fun. you know, all my experience over the course of my career, you know, i get to put that into a new product and a new brand and all my focus and attention and just been such a rewarding thing to work with family and i keep getting this like idea in my head where, you know, i was 7 when i first got my -- actually first got a snowboard from jake burton who unfortunately passed away recently, but, you know, he gave me that start and i keep thinking, like, wow, if i could be that for the next generation, some young boy or girl or whoever is starting up and has that spark and excitement for the sport and i could be there to support with my wisdom and experiences. >> well, you're definitely an inspiration, shaun. congratulations on heading out to the olympics. good luck going for your fourth gold.

we will be rooting for you, my friend. all right. take care, man. >> thank you so much. >> definitely, our pleasure. we'll be rooting for you for sure. we have the intense documentary taking you inside the front lines of the pandemic.
