>> i think you were invited you just said no. don't ago like i'm so special. >> busting us. >> i know you know you were invited. so much of the country we've been looking at is cold here but so many people are bracing for winter weather. did you see the buffalo bills game sunday. take a look at what it was like in the stands. you couldn't see in front of you so as a player i would have just defended the run. they can't throw the ball. nobody can see it. >> hearty fans there. >> very hearty fans. they love the game. >> speaking of being on the field, the colts were trying hard to clear a path for their kicker. >> adam vinatieri. i think they had something like that in the past too. he's kind of used to that. losing the game, though. >> that's hard. more now on the snow. it's on the way. rob is here with all of that. good morning, rob. >> good morning, robin. your next system diving down into minneapolis. crashes across minneapolis and

travel advisories out by the department of transport. the cold air in place. frost advisory to lake okeechobee, sugar cane fields there and the northeast, this will bring a little snow and -- but really the cold air will be the main thing. tomorrow morning it will feel like minus two in chicago and by the time wednesday morning rolls along single digits in new york city, the coldest of the season. back to you. >> thank you, rob. we are also watching those wildfires out west. right now five are burning across california, the largest the thomas fire charring nearly 230,000 acres, an area larger than new york city and matt gutman is there in the middle of it all in santa barbara county. good morning to you, matt. >> reporter: hey, good morning, michael. you see those images you understand why firefighters say going up against this fire, the thomas fire, is like battling a hurricane and just this weekend

to see from our second camera the massive array of fire trucks behind me. hundreds of them here, hundreds more on the fire lines, 8500 firefighters in total from ten states. this morning, an out-of-control wildfire making history in southern california. >> we're facing a new reality in the state. >> reporter: the thomas fire is now the fifth largest to ever burn in the state. now surging from ventura to santa barbara county. >> it's really terrifying. >> reporter: the wildfire charring another 50,000 acres on sunday alone. leaping over painstakingly cut fire lines. watch this time-lapsed video showing a plume of smoke rising like a mushroom cloud over ventura county and santa barbara in just 30 minutes breaking out exactly a week ago engulfs tens of thousands of acres this a matter of hours. >> look at how big that did and how dangerous it is. >> reporter: over the past 24 hours the fire consuming an area about the size of was

move along this ridge all day long. now, the good news for firefighters is that the wind here has subsided but there is so much dry brush out there that fire keeps moving relentlessly. over 700 structures destroyed. some residents returning home this morning to homes reduced to a ashes. >> oh, my god. oh, my god. >> reporter: tens of thousands of residents still evacuated. authorizes evacuating 5,000 more people overnight. >> the fire burned down the entire backyard. so i'm ready to go. >> reporter: among them is actor rob lowe who lives in santa barbra streisa barbara. >> praying for the people in my area hope everybody is getting out safe like we are. >> reporter: oprah winfrey taking to twitter with a heartfelt message writing peace be still is my prayer tonight for all the fires raining through my community and beyond. containment had reached 15% but

fire lines causing containment to drop to 10%. now, one reason this fire has been so stubborn and relentless is because these areas have not burned in nearly 100 years. now there have been hundreds of millions of dollars in damage. power is out for 85,000 people in santa barbara county and more fallout. many schools are closed until the new year. guys. >> boy, it is going in so many different directions. >> it is. >> we'll move on to politics and that alabama senate race getting so much national attention. ahead of tomorrow's vote polls show a tight race between roy moore and doug jones and president trump weighing in for more. a host of national democrats for jones. our chief national correspondent tom llamas here with more. >> reporter: just when we thought it couldn't get any stranger it's taken another bizarre turn. in the weekend before voters head to the polls one candidate was all over alabama campaigning while it's unclear if the other may have left the state.

this morning in alabama a tale of two very different campaigns. roy moore disappearing from the trail, no public appearances with voters since last tuesday. but democrat doug jones tearing through the state campaigning all weekend. >> we're running a campaign that's going after votes across this state. they're not. they're in hiding and they've got a segment of the population and it's the only population they care about. >> reporter: moore still battling allegations of sexual misconduct including sexual assault on teenage girls appeared on local tv in a prerecorded interview that aired on sunday. >> these allegations are completely false. i did not date underage women. i did not molest anyone. >> reporter: moore's sabbatical from campaigning comes as president trump gave him a major push. first at a rally in nearby pensacola, florida. >> so, get out and vote for roy moore. do it. do

>> reporter: the president also recording this robo call obtained by abc news. >> hi, this is president donald trump and i need alabama to go vote for roy moore. it is so important. we're already making america great again. >> reporter: moore's name may be on the ballot but even his own campaign says a vote for moore is really a vote for trump. >> this is donald trump on trial in alabama. if the people of alabama vote for this liberal democrat, doug jones, then they're voting against the president who they put in office at the highest level. >> reporter: still, some republicans find moore toxic including the state's senior senator. >> i didn't vote for roy moore. i wouldn't vote for roy moore. i think that the republican party can do better. >> reporter: a democrat hasn't won a senate seat in alabama for 5 years and beating moore won't be easy. his core supporters along with staunch conservatives plan on voting for him

allegations. >> it's my belief that god put in that seat is according to god's will. >> reporter: in another sign moore is aligning himself with the president as much as he can tonight moore campaign campaigns with steve bannon. doug jones has three events throughout montgomery and birmingham leading into tomorrow's election. >> such a turnaround for the president and all his supporters. as you were alluding to moore out of state over the weekend? >> you know, george, it's strange and it's really unclear at this point. there are reports out there he may have been nearly a thousand miles away in philadelphia. we don't know for sure because the campaign won't comment. he did not attend his regular church service. reports say he planned on going to the army/navy football game in philadelphia. moore's a graduate of west point. the campaign tells me he definitely did not attend the game but when i asked if he traveled orb got caught up in the weather going to philadelphia i was told no comment by two campaign sources. >> interesting campaign strategy there. okay, thanks very much. the roy moore race and the me

on more than a dozen women who accused president trump of sexual misconduct. several expected to tell their stories on national television today and yesterday the president's u.n. ambassador nikki haley supported their right to be heard. >> women who accuse anyone should be heard. they should be heard and they should be dealt with and i think we heard from that prior to the election and i think any woman who has felt violated or felt mistreated in any way, they have every right to speak up. >> let's bring in cecilia vega for more on this and, cecilia, nikki haley not taking the white house line and it's not the first time. >> reporter: yeah, exactly. this certainly seems to be a pretty big departure from the white house line that they are liars. a few days ago in the briefing room sarah sanders said this was settled essentially during the campaign, voters spoke when they elected donald trump as the president of the united states. but, look, haley has publicly as you said parted ways with this president in the past. most notably over charlottesville, also over

election meddling. this issue right now is front and center for this white house. it's not just haley, today there are now three democratic senators who are suggesting president trump might want to resign as a result of these accusations, not to mention this conversation happening on a national level. these calls certainly growing louder. >> you have a new poll out showing 70% of the public believes these claims should be investigated. president trump should be investigated right there. is the white house feeling this pressure or just holding firm? >> reporter: you know, george, they're holding firm. not just that number there was another one that jumped out. 73% of americans in that poll say it's hypocritical for this president to abe accusing men -- criticizing men accused of sexual misconduct, george, so this isn't going away for this administration. >> okay, cecilia vega, thanks very much. let's bring in matthew dowd for more on this right now. you saw in tom's piece nationalizing strategy for the republicans right here making it about president trump, roy moore disappearing. is it going to work? >> well, the democrats did the

want to try to make it as local as possible. the republicans want to to make it national. the only strategy at this point in time for roy moore to win. he's slightly favored, george, in this race. but i think it's still a chance that the democrat can win in a deeply red state like alabama. but it's the only strategy he has which is stay out of the limelight and don't make any more errors. >> you've seen president trump coming out full-throated support and some of the senators softening their opposition to him but the big question if he wins, what do they do? does he become subject of an ethics investigation or creating a problem for republicans even with a victory? >> well, george, i think this is a no-win situation for the republicans. if they lose a race in alabama it's a huge problem because obviously they've lost a race in a deep red state but a win actually is a big loss. to me it's akin to going into the playoffs, a football team going into the playoffs which is 2018, the elections and getting most of your players penal

going into the playoffs. that's the problem they have if they win, it gets tied around their necks. >> okay, matthew dowd, thanks very much. boy, you know we're seeing this election right as more and more stories are coming about sexual harassment everywhere. >> everywhere. and it is not apparently not going to stop any time soon. to an apart serial shooter in detroit. police are trying to find a gunman terrorizing drivers on the highway after a fourth person came forward saying she was targeted. abc's adrienne bankert has the latest. >> reporter: an urgent manhunt to find the person responsible for shooting at random cars on two michigan freeways. >> people were hanging outside the vehicle shooting. >> reporter: at least four cars have been hit. >> individual says that he was driving down the road. heard some popping sound, pulled over to the sound of the freeway and saw bullet shoes in in his car. >> reporter: he pulls over bleeding as he limps inside for

help. >> can you call the police for me? i just got shot in my electric. i thought it was a rock. i'm on i-94. >> reporter: all within ten miles and roughly 20 minutes of each other. >> sounds like our caller's vehicle was struck. he's got a couple of flat tires and he has holes in his vehicle. >> reporter: three describe a silver car pulling alongside them and shots fired. police believe it is the work of one gunman. >> we don't rule out anything because we're at the very beginning of this investigation. >> reporter: now, we're here on that stretch of roadway where the man says that bullet hit his leg. none of the other drivers were hurt. but when you do the math, the gunman had to be traveling at speeds well over 80 plus miles per hour in order to be at all four shooting scenes. >> all right, adrienne, thanks for being there with us. robin, all this -- also this morning, a lot of eyes are on hollywood and the golden globe nominations. they are the first major awards coming on the heels of the me too movement. a lot of questions about how hollywood will handle it all an abc's c

men in the entertainment world forced an examination of the culture of hollywood. to make marys worse, no one was more identified with the politics of awards season than disgraced studio chief harvey weinstein. on january 7th the golden globes will be the first major awards show to face the challenge of put be/a celebratory cast in the wake of the me too revelation while honoring the excellent work. nominations expected for the love story at the heart of "call me by your name" the laughter of "the disaster artist" and a mother's quest for justice and three billboards in missouri and just maybe the glory of gal godot as "wonder woman." with 30 acting nom fakes the globes often serve as a first cut for the oscars, guys. >> you know, chris, so many great s out there. they range from love stories to

offensive drive being being taken out of the game for good. the founding ceo of the concussion legacy foundation tweeting disgusted that the houston texans allowed tom savage to return to the game after two plays after showing these horrifying concussion signs. is that a seizure after a head impact? bill o'brien saying an unaffiliated neurotrauma consultant cleared him to return to the game. >> the testing that they do, they try to make the best decision and weren't satisfied with the results of the second test so they decided to, you know, pull him then that's when he went to the looker room. >> reporter: the nfl says its chief medical officer initiated a review to understand what took place following the play. and the texans went on to lose that game against the 49ers but just one look at twitter last night showed the focus was very much on savage himself. so many hoping he's okay. >> yeah, i mean but when you shake like that, first of all, it's scary but, you know, as a player, why would he go back into the

all across new york, all across new jersey. they come to port authority. as you can imagine, so many people are here. police right now are trying to divert crowds from getting near port authority. trying to contain this. right now they say one person is in custody. only a few injuries but police do have video, they say, and are confident that this is contained right now, george. >> this is such a major hub, the largest bus terminal in the united states, busiest by volume. it's going to tie up traffic here in the new york/new jersey area for days and, of course, gio, this area always on such high alert. >> reporter: always on such high alert because we're so close to times square, george. you know that. we're just blocks away from times square and when you look at port authority. i'm looking at it right now. it's just this massive structure that just goes on for blocks and blocks so right now we have ambulances on the scene. so many ambulances, so many officers that just immediately dispatched here. clearly trying to get a hold -- a handle of this situation.

people sort of confused that are here trying to catch whatever train or bus they need to to get over to as they commute to work. >> okay, gio, thanks very much. >> port authority just a short distance from here and hearing the emergency personnel making their way that way. pierre thomas is in washington and what are you learning, pierre? >> reporter: well, we're working with our federal sources. they been alerted by nypd that this is ongoing. obviously there's great concern because mass transit has been something that law enforcement has long been concerned about. apparently based on gio's reporting that this is relatively contained but i can tell you this will send shock wave as cross washington because law enforcement as george said has already been on high alert looking for the potential of any kind of attack over the holiday season. >> serves 225,000 people every single day, 85 million people a year. port authority, major hub here in new york city for the entire region. the good news

particularly attacks that are aimed at first responders and that's something i know this police department does, you have to be worried about secondary attacks because anything like this is going to attract a lot of first responders as you can seen 0 television, lots of police officers, lots of firefighters there, so, yes, you have to be very careful examining the scene to make certain there is no other device or no other plan to attack first responders. >> yeah, that is a live look at the scene right now. people walking away from the port authority and, gio, you know, you can't know for sure but right now it appears the evacuation is going relatively calmly. >> reporter: that's right, george. we just learned from the nypd that the a, c and e lines are being evacuated. some of the biggest most important lines in new york city, the express line that take you up and down the west side, also take you to the east side of new york city so as you can imagine so many people get on those trains every single day.

filming. margot robbie and my friend steven rogers who wrote it met with her extensively but i saw her on the red carpet and almost started crying seeing her. she was crying. she was so overwhelmed and when i saw her i was speechless. i just wanted to hug her because she came up to me and said what a great job i did portraying her mother and i just felt -- made me really sad. >> you talk about that empathy. people forget what a villain she was. >> that's how she was portrayed, though. i think she was portrayed as one thing. it was the advent of the 24-hour news cycle and they put it out there that she was evil and nancy was the princess. >> it's like a story you can't make up. >> yeah but when you see it there is a lot more nuance to it and what she -- her life, her upbringing, you don't -- the movie doesn't completely exonerate her but makes you question what exactly her hand in all of that was and she had a lot of questionable characters in her life that you just have to see it.

>> you have a better understanding. >> yes, you do, yeah, and you think maybe i thought -- i misjudged her. i think she was misuped a bit. >> let's see a little bit. >> i am so sorry but there's no smoking on the ice. >> oh. i'll smoke it quietly. ♪ be ware the devil woman >> this is my daughter tonya. >> i told you on the phone -- >> i know what you told me though you've never seen her skate. >> i don't train beginners. >> all she does is talk about skating all day and night. can't shutter up about it so it's easier for me to put her on ice. >> how do you smoke quietly? [ applause ] >> yeah, exactly. >> years of training. >> years of training you smoke quietly. it's a very noisy activity and -- >> we know margot got to met tonya. you didn't get to meet --

>> velivona. >> would you have liked to. >> i would have loved to met her and had a gazillion questions about our upbringing and four husbands she had and i don't know -- at this point i don't think i want to meet her because it's already in the can. unless we do an "i, livona" movie. >> with the bird on the shoulder. >> my favorite hands down favorite animal co-star ever. and not at first. i was terrified -- i'm more of a dog and cat person and birds scare me. i don't know what -- you know, they kind of freak me out a little bit so i had to meet -- i auditioned three burs for that role. [ laughter ] i did. the bird lady was so lovely. she said, see which one, you know, you can connect with. the other two would crawl in my hair and just freaked me out and little man, his name is little man. >> little man. >> he just sat on my shoulder and hung out there and i was like, okay, yeah, this guy and

was just couldn't -- he was all in my ear and all over the place but he kind of fueled my performance a little bit because he got me a little worked up and irritated. as i was telling my story. >> livon had her unique style which you captured very well. this movie as robin said is raving about it. and everyone at home make sure you see it. it is "i, tonya," it's in theaters now. allison janney, everybody and when we come back, "black-ish" star anthony anderson is here live. we'll be right back. [ cheers and applause ]

we're back now with the man, the hilarious star of "black-ish," anthony anderson, everybody. >> hey. [ applause ] >> and we have some breaking news, something very big just happened. >> what? >> you just got not one, not two, but three golden globe nominations moments ago. >> oh, yes, yes, i did. >> can we take a look. >> best performance by an actor in a television series, musical or comedy. anthony anderson, "black-ish." [ cheers and applause ] >> all right. i didn't see that till just now. this is -- wow. congratulations to me. >> and you

nominated. >> the show got nominated. >> and a new movie "ferdinand" congratulations to everybody. >> you're here to talk about your show. you take on every issue. you're not afraid. so funny. you handle things so perfectly because you get us talking. >> yes. >> and make us smile. and this week's episode you're doing it again with something that's near and dear to your heart. >> diabetes. i'm a type 2 diabetic. been that way for 16 years now, so is my mother. i lost my father to complications of diabetes so i've teamed up with november ve novo nordis. and there's a lot of information that we share on that site and on the facebook page. >> how do you tackle a topic like diabetes in a comical way. >> you know, very, very easily. you know.

we talk about it. you know in our community we always talk about, you know, us having the sugars. you know. but unfortunately there's nothing sweet about being a type 2 diabetic so, you know, we talk about that on the show but you don't want to beat anybody over the head with a message so we feed it to them with no pun intended with a teaspoon of sugar. >> yeah. >> but at the end of the day, what's the take home? what do you want people to, a, know about diabetes, about what you're going through? >> we just want -- there's a lot of misinformation out there because people don't go to the doctors to get checked out. you know, we want them to know this is a serious issue that affects us all. and to get real about it. so go to our website, get real about diabetes.com and all the information that you need to know about the disease and what you can do before you get it and once you have it is all there. >> all right, let's get real about these golden globe nominations. >> tell everybody about "ferdinand." i lo

you brought it to life and really great way. >> the book has been around for 80 years and about anti-bullying. it's about believing in one's self so other people can believe in themselves. and just having faith and all that and it's a beautiful story about not judging a book by its cover. >> is that your character? >> i'm bones, yeah, i'm bones. i lost a lot of weight so they called me bones. >> how did you enjoy doing that. >> i loved it. i didn't know anything about the story. you know, even though it's been around for 80 years but my children knew about it and they were like, oh, dad, yeah, you should do that and then i read the story and i'm a part of this movie and it's -- i saw it yesterday for the first time. we had our premiere in lange and it's a very moving emotional feel good story for the entire family. >> check it out, everybody. have work. you have to write a speech. >> yes. >> hopefully, hopefully. i love this guy and everybody, can you see "black-ish," tuesday 9:00 p.m. right here on abc. congratulations. >> thank you, dear. >> we'll throw it to

such a great way to start the week. thank you again, sheryl. >> my pleasure. >> "the dreaming kind." >> ava mae? and a dream come true. we're with another golden globe nominee right here. allison janney for the role in "i, tonya" playing her mother then you find out just moments ago, golden globe nomination. >> it was pretty exciting and for margot robbie and the movie too. >> wonderful. have a great day, everybody. >> announcer: this is an abc news special report. now reporting, george stephanopoulos. and we want to bring you the latest right now on that explosion at the port authority here in new york. earlier at the height of rush

authority, that is a live look right now at the scene. the largest, the busiest bus terminal in the united states, according to police sources one man set off the explosion, he is now in custody badly injured. another person in the terminal also injured. the terminal has been closed right now but we want to go right to abc's gio benitez who is on the scene. gio. >> reporter: hey, george, i want you to look at this. you have all of these officers here. you have all of these ambulances and fire truck, the bomb squad is here on the scene. no doubt so many people were here so if only another person was injured and the suspect that is truly a miracle, george. because we're talking about so many people coming through this terminal not just for the buses but also for the subway system, we know that they were evacua evacuating the major subway lines here in new york city. now, the working theory right now, the suspicion is that this

detonated earlier than intended because it was underground going through this passageway where not too many people were and so that's the good news here is that this could have been so much worse had it detonated where it was supposed to, but right now that is just a suspicion that is just something they're working on, george, trying to confirm. no doubt so many people in this area right now police say that this seems to be contained. >> the information is just coming in. the suspect, what we know about the suspect, the suspect from bangladesh been in this country about seven years, was living in brooklyn. apparently wearing the pipe bomb on his person when it went off as gio seemed to indicate a little prematurely. a lot more to be learned right now and want to go to our senior justice correspondent pierre thomas for more on that. anyone claiming responsibility right now? any other information coming in to federal officials? >> reporter: no one has claimed responsibility, george. but i can tell you that attorney general homeland security officials a t

country have been briefed. they're awaiting additional information. george, there has been great concern can the upcoming holiday season that you could see an event like this. two officials that i spoke to are just so thankful, george, that so far it appears to be contained with limited injuries, george, but this has major implications for the upcoming holiday season, clearly someone was trying to hurt or kill as many people as they could. >> everyone will be on high alert. i want to bring in brad garrett for more on this. well, what may have been the saving grace here, brad, is that it was a relatively crude weapon. >> right, this is going to be amateur hour, george. he probably learned online how to build a pipe bomb. the tricky part obviously is the timer. that obviously didn't work out well for him. and it's interesting that he had it on his person. >> okay. well, that's what we have right now. an explosion at the port authority here in new york city at the height of rush hour. you can hear the emergency vehicles outside. we'll stay on this story all morning long here on "gma" and
