>> this morning's "eye opener" is presented by toyota. let's go places. welcome to "cbs this morning." i think it's good, it's a bombardment of hugs at the table. notice anything different, john dickerson? >> yes, those glasses, gayle, they're lovely on you. >> ta-dah! norah has been in saudi arabia all week, we'll share that later on. >> i've gone from sand to snow. >> we're really glad you're back today. >> thank you. we'll begin with this weather, of course. march is still coming in like a lion in the northeast where the second big storm in five days is likely to cause more widespread damage, oh, no. heavy snow has started falling early this morning in washington, d.c. it's now spreading across the region. this developing nor'easter will bring snow and strong winds to many communities that were hit hard last weekend.

>> the storm could dump a foot or more of snow in parts of new york and new england, storm warnings are up in pennsylvania to maine. more than 100,000 people still without power because of last week's nor'easter could face new disruption. don dahler is in bala cynwyd in pennsylvania, northwest of philadelphia, which is still recovering from the last storm. don, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. this house in this philadelphia suburb was nearly split in half last week when a large tree hit it during the last nor'easter. there were people inside, thankfully they made it out safely, hoping they're somewhere warm and safe now. that illustrates the danger of this storm. this snow is incredibly heavy and wet. and it sits in these branches of these old massive trees, where the root system was weakened by the wind last week. and that is just a recipe for disaster. let me show you, this was the tree that hit this house here. you can see how incredibly massive and old it is. it couldn't stand up to those

winds. the highways and the roads are still littered with branches, fallen trees, as well as electrical lines. and these utility crews are out trying desperately to restore power to tens of thousands of houses in this area that are still without electricity. and those power lines are no joke. let me show you this video from new york city, where an electrical line fell next to some cops and some other cars. really a dangerous situation. whether this storm is going to be as intense as last week's is the wind. they're not expected to be quite as intense, quite as high. but they are going to gust up to maybe 60 miles an hour. buckle up. >> don, thanks. those trees are gargantuan. chief weather caster lonnie quinn of our new york station wcbs is here. good morning, lonnie. >> good morning, john, good

morning, everybody. i want to start off by looking at the nor'easter here on the east coast. the heavily traveled i-95 corridor through new jersey, we've gone rain out here. we believe this turns to snow later today when the knew nor'easter winds kick in. how much snow are we talking about? the major cities, we're talking philadelphia, new york, hartford, up and down the eastern seaboard, it's like this gray color, maybe like a nine-inch range, anywhere from six to 12, let's say nine inches. the bullseye is over the hudson river, 12 to 16-inch range. boston, not as much. cape cod islands, you're picking up rains. the winds will be the heaviest. the west coast, we see prescripti precipitation moving in early thursday morning over california and the pacific northwest. through thursday, it continues to push further inland. here you are friday morning, pretty good drenching along the coast. you start to see pockets of snow. some of that snow will start to

balloon up in the northern rockies as you get into the afternoon hours on friday. and then as you go through your weekend, there's another system wait for the end of the weekend on sunday. gayle, let's go back to you. that's how we see it right now, a nor'easter on the east coast. we're looking at rain and some mountain snows moving in for the weekend for you on the west coast. >> lonnie, thanks. now we got the picture. the storm is disrupting travel across the country, even impacting some of you in the west coast. amtrak has cancelled more than 50 trains. more than 2,105 flights are cancelled and 300 delayed. those numbers are expected to rise. kris van cleave is at new jersey's new york international airport, tracking the disruptions. kris, good morning to you. >> reporter: good morning. folks are getting out of town while they can here in the new york city area. and that's not so easy here at newark. you'll see a lot of cancelled, cancelled, canceled. in fact more than 20% of the flights have been canceled here

at newark. also at major hub airports across the northeast, baltimore, philadelphia, boston, new york city. we'll look for that impact on flights to spread across the country as the day goes on. as a result, airlines are waiving rebooking fees. the carriers try to cancel flights ahead of the storm. it keeps fliers and their planes from being stranded at airports. the idea is to limit the disruption as small an area as possible for the shortest time possible. the airlines will aim to restart service as the storm passes, and try to use tomorrow as a recovery day if conditions permit. already, nearly 200 flights have been canceled for tomorrow. and of course as the storm really gets here to the new york area, we expect the road conditions to deteriorate. the national weather service is urging people to stay off the roads. >> all right, stay home and enjoy the snow, okay. >> or go out sledding. >> yeah, or make snow men.

there's a wide variety of things available. thank you, kris, we're trying to look on the bright side here. not on the bright side is flooding, that's a big issue as the nor'easter spins up the coastline. warnings and advisories are posted along theed thr atlantic. demarco morgan is in duxbury, massachusetts, where some homeowners are getting ready to evacuate. demarco, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. the sea wall, which is not far from where we're standing here in duxbury, was actually compromised. it's missing huge chunks of concrete as a result of last week's nor'easter. it's causing that water to spill over into neighborhoods like this one, completely flooding areas. in and out race is now the race is on before the storm moves in. work continued through tuesday as crews scrambled to fortify sea walls ahead of the latest

nor'easter. >> we have massive destruction to our infrastructure here. >> reporter: residents, contractors, and public workers rushed to plug holes during low tide. their windows of opportunity painfully brief. >> not being able to get on the beach to assess the damage has been difficult, because the tide hasn't gone out far enough. >> reporter: crews are using drones to assess the sea walls that have stood for 70 years. the aging infrastructure is finally buckling. >> we haven't heard of any time that this has happened before. >> reporter: we rode through duxbury with fire captain bob reardon. >> this whole neighborhood will be underwater, 100%. >> reporter: homeowners are hoping repairs will prevent the worse. for robyn chiminello, the thought of losing her dream house is almost too much to bear. >> i worked my whole life for this, i worked really hard for it. it's gone in one day. it's devastating, you know. and there's nothing you can do.

that's, you know -- except hope for the best. >> reporter: voluntary evacuation has ended but many locals say they're getting out of here, many left last night. when it comes to the sea wall, it will take up to ten days before they can patch it up up and down the coast. that storm is moving in and it's moving in fast. >> heartbreaking for a lot of people there, demarco, thank you. the dow dropped more than 300 points at the open this morning in reaction to the resignation of the president's top economic adviser, gary cohn. the markets have since gained back some ground. cohn is one of more than 20 white house officials that have been fired or resigned under president trump. he disagreed with the president on tariffs on steel and aluminum imports. >> reporter: gary cohn had a rocky relationship with the president. he's the latest high profile aide to leave this administration.

as you mentioned, cohn did not agree with the president's plan to impose tariffs on steel or aluminum imports. now with his departure, it may clear the way for the president's plan to move forward. >> they want a piece of the west wing. >> reporter: president trump denied that morale in his white house was low. >> everybody wants to work in the white house. >> reporter: and claims he can fill any vacant position. >> i'll have a choice of the ten top people having to do with that position. >> reporter: less than two hours later, he was looking for a new chief economic adviser after gary cohn resigned. cohn sided with many republican leaders in arguing the president's newly proposed tariffs on metal imports could be a drag on this economy. >> this could metastasize into a larger trade war. >> reporter: during a meeting with the prime minister of sweden, the president seemed undeterred by the concerns. >> the trade war hurts them. it doesn't hurt us. >> reporter: in addition to concerns about white house staffing, the president was also

slapped with a civil lawsuit tuesday by adult film star stormy daniels. daniels alleges that a, quote, hush agreement she signed days before election day in 2016 which forbid her from discussing details of her personal relationship with mr. trump is not binding because mr. trump himself never signed it. the lawsuit says mr. trump used the alias "david dennison" for the nondisclosure agreement and that a consultant firm was created to process the payments to daniels as a way to further insulate mr. trump from later scrutiny. daniels alleges mr. trump purposely avoid signing the agreement himself so he could later disavow any knowledge of the nondisclosure agreement. president trump's lawyer michael cohen admitted to paying $130,000 to daniels before election day of 2016. daniels says she was given the payment to prevent her from coming forward with allegations

against the president. cohen has denied involvement of the trump organization and trump campaign. norah? >> engineer jericka duncan, tha. the departure of gary cohn will rattle the markets today. >> it's more than three times the departure rate from the obama administration, twice that from the reagan administration. the president says he can get any of the top ten people, that's an open question. specifically, the top ten people disagree with the policies he's putting forward. to norah's point about the markets, this president has held up the markets of how great his policies are. he's willing to risk that for these tariffs which gives you a sense of how much he cares about them. >> anding t the fact that gary has left the white house is making people very nervous. the president said there's no chaos here, just a lot of high energy going on. two hours later, gary cohn resigns. what that that say to you guys? >> that it's a place that's very

hard to work. cohn has suffered some embarrassment while he's been working there. people looking to come into the administration have to weigh the cost. the president says everybody wants a piece of the oval office. usually presidents speak in terms of their issues and their vision and why people would want to line up behind that. >> interesting to see how this all plays out. south korea's president said this morning it is too early to be optimistic about denuclearization talks with north korea. president trump calls the situation with north korea tenuous. but he believes pyongyang is sincere in its offer to discuss giving up its nuclear weapons. >> the statements coming out of south korea and north korea have been very positive. that would be a great thing for the world. great thing for the world. so we'll see how it all comes about. >> holly williams is in south korea just outside seoul. holly, good morning.

>> reporter: good morning. this is all coming from senior south korean official who made a rare visit to the north this week. they also say that north korea's leader kim jong-un has agreed to a summit meeting with the south korean president moon jae-in next month. the first meeting between the top leaders of the two koreas in over a decade. the response here in south korea and the u.s. has been a mix of very cautious optimism and downright skepticism because north korea has re negged on previous agreements. the fact that the north wants to talk at all is almost certainly due to economic sanctions biting the regime hard. the u.s. is keeping up its so-called maximum pressure strategy against north korea, announcing new sanctions why i would -- yesterday, gayle. >> thanks very much. norah is back this morning, she's been gone for a week on

assignment for "60 minutes." this morning we can share she was in saudi arabia where she had a big interview with the crown prince. people were stopping me on the street asking me where you were, norah, and i had to say i wasn't at liberty to say. >> saudi arabia has been a key ally of the united states. crown prince mohammed bin salman is heir to the saudi throne, an architect of major political and economic reforms under way there. in november he detained more than 200 princes, billionaires, and prominent saudi citizens in riyadh, part of an anticorruption crackdown. he's just 32 years old. the crown prince is one of the most powerful leaders of the middle east. this is his first interview and our conversation with him for "60 minutes" will be his first u.s. television interview. it's worth noting the last time

a saudi leader gave an interview to a u.s. television network was 2005. >> barbara walters. >> barbara walters spoke with former king abdullah. we had an hour and a half interview and additional conversations with the crown prince, at a time when the country is trying to catch up, reform, allow women to drive, et cetera. >> i'm curious what you experienced, i know you'll tell us about it, but how did you get it? >> i worked on it for two years. >> persistence pays off. >> it does pay off, and relationships based on trust pay off. i had spoken with the crown prince a year and a half ago in private about this, and it was a matter of timing before it worked out. but there's a lot going on too, especially what they're doing with women. this has been -- >> are women driving? >> they'll drive in june, they still cannot drive. they still cover their heads. we'll air portions of our interview with the crown prince

next wednesday here on "cbs this morning" and the full interview will air sunday, march 18th, on "60 minutes." the trump administration is going back on its promise to stop imports of african elephant trophies. ahead,

this suit but have not yet received a response. stormy daniels has a new attorney and he joins us at the table. michael, thank you for joining us this morning. >> good morning. >> first before we talk about the lawsuit, why does someone who had a consensual relationship, allegedly, with donald trump back in the day want to discuss it? most people who engage in an extramarital affair aren't out there saying i want to tell you what happened. why does she want to tell this story? >> i think at this point she wants to tell her story because there's so much misinformation out there and so much misinformation spread by mr. cohen and others in the last six weeks relating to what happened, the circumstances of the agreement, the circumstances of the payment. she wants to set the record straight. she wants to be heard, and she wants to tell the public the true facts of what happened. >> does she want to profit from selling her story? >> absolutely not. >> she will not be seeking money for her story in any way. >> i don't know if she will ultimately seek payment or not.

what i do know is she wants the public to know the truth. she wants to be free of these agreements. >> the name listed on nda or nondisclosure agreement is david dennison. that is an alias for president donald trump. >> yes. >> how do we know that? >> well, i know it and i'm making that assertion. if i'm false let mr. cohen or mr. trump come forward immediately and claim that, in fact, it's not an alias for donald trump. it most certainly is an alias for donald trump. to conclude otherwise, you would have to conclude that mr. cohen, who represented mr. trump at the time, who has admitted to $130,000 payment made the payment on behalf of some other party, some other individual that went by that alias. >> well, he says this was danger to the president -- excuse me, then candidate trump. he took care of it with his own money and that mr. trump knew nothing about it. >> i think it is completely uncredible to assert that, in fact, that happened.

you would have to conclude mr. cohen was operating on his own, mr. trump knew nothing about it and, in fact, the drafted agreement had a place for mr. trump to sign, multiple places. the idea that somehow mr. trump never knew anything about it strains credibility. >> help me understand, is this a publicity stunt or do you really think you can get this nda thrown out and why? >> this isn't a publicity stunt. i wouldn't what's my time or stake my reputation on it. we believe it will be thrown out. mr. trump never signed either document and therefore she's free to tell her story. >> doesn't nda say this, either david dennison, david dennison, which you say is donald trump, or his attorney has to sign it and the attorney did sign it, so that makes the nda valid? >> no. first of all, his attorney did not sign on his behalf. his attorney signed on behalf of the entity created in order to funnel the payment to miss daniels, first of all. second of all, mr. trump was obligated to sign the agreements in order for them to be legally

binding. >> this is no longer mr. trump, this is president trump. when a judge looks at this, they are going to weigh the damage done to your client versus the damage that could be done to a president. interrupting a president's time, also damaging the office a judge says to you, why is your client's desire to profit from her story more important than the country's business? >> first of all, my client does have a desire to profit from the story. you asked me before and i answered those questions, number one. number two, i don't think we're talking about interrupting the president of the united states. these are simple questions. design the agreement? did he know about the agreement, the payment, et cetera. it it doesn't take long to answer those questions. you can certainly answer them in less than 140 characters. >> why was she paid $130,000? why did she tell you she was paid for $130,000. >> i'm not going to get into details i've had with pi client because that's privileged, of course. i will tell you there was obviously a reason for the payment of $130,000. we assert it was an effort to

silence her. >> nda says prior to signing the agreement that daniels came into confidential information including but not limited to still images and/or text messages authored by or relating to dd, who you say is donald trump. does she have photos or text messages that prove the affair? >> we're not going to answer that question as of this morning. >> there is additional information that exists out there. >> certainly additional information relating to this nda, circumstances and their relationship i'm confident will be forthcoming. >> also, michael cohen said -- mr. trump's attorney said he paid that $130,000 out of his open pocket. do you have information to say that money came from somewhere else? >> we do but we're not in a position to disclose it yet. >> meaning that money was not from michael cohen's own source of funds, from someone else? >> i think i've commented enough on that as of this morning. >> have you heard from the white house or michael cohen himself? >> we have not heard yet.

again, this can be clarified pretty easily. did mr. trump, now president trump, sign these documents? did he know about the negotiation and the payment. it's very, very simple. >> was it a consensual relationship? can you say that? >> absolutely. >> thank you, michael. >> thank you. all right. ahead omar villafranca shows us how many oklahoma schools are using tofour-day week to recrui teachers and make up for better pay. >> can you get better teachers with a four-day school week. >> several years ago four openings and three applicants, now 15. >> why teachers may not go on strike. we invite you to subscribe to cbs podcast, get the news of the day, extended interviews and podcast originals. you can find them where, gayle? >> itunes and apple ipad cast,

being fooled? >> in the past the united states has lived up to our bargain where we've entered into bargains only to see them break their end of the bargain. so what this administration needs to continue do is apply maximum pressure as it has. continue to engage china and other countries around the world to enforce stricter standards and saengss to make sure the united nations puts pressure on them and go after the heinous slave labor practices of the north korean regime. to cut off even more dollars to go back to prop up kim junk un. there's plenty of action to be take and this administration needs to take every one of them. >> let me ask you. the south korean leader said he received a pledge from kim jong-un that he ould would halt testings during these negotiations. do you believe that? >> if they halt testing, that doesn't mean they halt their progress. they've reached the stage where

they can say, sure, we're not going to test, but in the meantime they can develop new timelines, technologies. it doesn't mean they can give up and completely halt their knew clear program. i think it goes back to what they've said they would do in the paste. they've said they would do more. this is one of their lesser promises they've made and so we must continue maximum pressure and not give up on our desire and demand for the complete verifiable denuclearization. >> how optimistic are you? are you feeling optimistic and what mistakes were you referring to in. >> again, the mistakes we have made in terms of believing the kim family, his father's grandfather was serious about the actions he was going to take. there's no doubt we have to have a resolution. again, i agree this is a positive development pt but will that positive development lead

to concrete results of denuclearization, and that's what we have to have. i am skeptical. this is a good thing. but we have to make sure we're not fooled twice. >> what do you make of the resignation? the president ha weeted there's no chaos here. >> i think it's different. i think this is probably somebody gary has thought about long and hard as gary has things. i look forward to sitting down and talking with him how we can continue to work with the administration that are fair to the american people but also don't punish the american people. >> but the precipitating event in this case was the president's steel tariffs. you are in charge of getting republicans elected. most republicans don't agree with those tariffs and paul ryan said those tariffs are going

walk back some of the gains from the tax cut. how do you sell republicans to the public when on the one hand it's helping them, whereas, in another case it's hurting them? >> there's not a surprise to anyone who was following the campaign that the president made this decision. i think he's right to say we need trade agreements, they're fair. where i disagree is that we need to impose a tariff that could hurt the american people. i represent a state that has a lot of great beer industries, farmers, who are worried about the impact steel and aluminum tariffs can have on them. let's make sure they're good and fair to the american people. but it could lead to higher costs on the american consumer. it could cost jobs instead of saving jobs. that's not the right step. i look forward to working with the white house to make sure we do the right thing and no one gets hurt. >> senator, thank you so much. ahead, christian ritter

>> they will lump me in with that maniac and they'll start pinning every unsolved crime on me because that's what they do. >> not that you have a chip on your shoulder. >> just fix this. >> don't snap at me. >> if she was smart she would not snap at you because we know you got super powers christian ritter. let's talk about the end of last season. you end up killing your tormenter, killing him in a very violent way. >> right to his face, his neck, as a last resort. >> how did that feel to you? now he'd been tormenting you all season. talk about what was that like for you to say, okay i got you. >> it was really exciting. it was an exciting moment for the character he was try umfanlt. it was her being strong. i remember when i got the episode script when that happened, i cheered. because it needed to happen. it was really a difficult journey for jessica to get to that point. she doesn't want to be a

murderer, but that was really the only option for her. >> but now she's dealing with the aftermath of that. >> yeah. >> i'm wondering if you have conflict about the powers that you have. >> jessica has a lot of contempt for the powers that she has. she is a girl that is marked by trauma. she struggles, she has ptsd, she drinks too much. she hardly gets by and the fact that she has this power -- has these powers and this attention on her goes against everything that she is. >> can i ask you about the purple man? your nemesis? >> yeah. >> he used to say smile, what did that mean? that was really powerful. >> it was really powerful and so interesting because around the time that we were making that show, remember, that video came out of the woman walking around manhattan and everyone being like, smile, smile and it was just such a way that it didn't make her feel great and then our show came out and used that message and it was like, you

know, how we recapped on consent and it took away her voice telling her to smile and so in the end in the final moment when she snaps his neck, she says to him, smile. >> it was a very powerful scene. you're known for your super powers so do people come up to you -- people come up to you and say, hit me, hit me, arm wrestle, arm wrestle. is that true? >> yes. >> men and women? >> just men. we go to conventions or in comic-con's things like that to float the show and a lot of men ask me to arm wrestle them or punch them. >> what do you do? >> i just go for it and give the fans what they want. my fans keep me employed. if they want me to punch them, fine. >> and do female viewers say, you know, that, that your character makes them feel better about some of the traumas -- >> i've had that happen a lot and it's been one of the most moving experiences of this whole

job. in addition to it being a great acting part, i've had women come up to me and say that they feel represented. it's made them feel better about what they've been through in their own lives and just simply seeing a bad ass female character like this has met a lot to women and men. so that's something that's been really exciting for me and it makes me want to work with even harder and throw my full self-in the role. >> is that why we all like comic book stories and super heroes? >> i think that what our show does and what marvel does well is they -- they kind of go underneath the super hero powers. pthe person underneath of all o that and you root for them, you know. you don't just talk about the guy in the suit, it's the guy under the suit and that's what jessica jones does specifically and it's such a personal story and we -- we really get into her psychological journey. >> that's why the back story are

so important. >> can we talk about the girl under your suit? >> sure. i'm much more fun than jessica. >> i love that you grew up on a farm in central pennsylvania. >> koryeah, northeastern pennsylvania, three and a half hours door to door. >> i love that you were discovered at the mall. >> yeah. >> what were you doing? >> the pretzel place was -- i may have been in front of annie's. >> somebody came up to you and said what? >> there was a scout from elite model management which i heard of, which was a real agency, and they came up to my mom and aske% if i ever thought about modeling. my mom and i looked at each other and were like, no. so that was -- sort of how i got my foot in the door as a teenager and then from there i lily padded into commercials and acting. >> you play a bad ass character, but gosh, you also knit. that's such a nana thing to me. >> i know, but i'm making it

cool. >> that's right. >> it's a great way for me to have balance especially when i'm playing a dark character like jessica jones, knitting on the weekends or at night when i can, it really helps me kind of shut it down and it's very meditative and i love creating something with my hands. >> who taught you? >> my grandmother taught me. >> i have to meet the dark character there christian ritter thanks. >> thank you very much. the second season of marvel's "jessica jones" begins streaming on netflix tomorrow. you can hear more on our podcast and apple's podcast app. today we talk with author steven pinker on his new book. you're watching "cbs this morning." e (man) racing has taken me all over the world.
