7:02 am
calling for an end to harassment and gender inequality. >> the passion reached its peak with oprah. first black woman to get the lifetime achievement award at the globes. at the beginning of the night seth meyers joked about her running for president. after that so many on twitter endorsed idea oprah 2020, the meme of the night and, of course, it had the whole audience at the beverly hilton up on their feet. >> it truly was trending. you see common among those on their feet. there were so many incredible moments as the awards season finally kicked off. lara was there for it all and up bright and early this morning there in l.a. for us good morning, lara. >> good morning to you, robin. it really was an historic night. the men and women of hollywood coming together in solidarity saying time's up on inequal and abuse. take a look. >> ladies and remaining gentlemen. >> reporter: seth meyers didn't miss a beat. >> it's 2018 marijuana is finally allowed and sexual
7:03 am
harassment finally isn't. >> reporter: the golden globes host address the me too and time's up movements head on. >> for the male nominees in the room this is the first time in three months it won't be terrifying to hear your name read out loud. >> reporter: refusing to ignore the elephant in the room. harvey weinstein isn't here tonight but don't worry he'll be back in 20 years when he becomes the first person ever booed during the in memoriam. it'll sound like that. >> reporter: even setting himself up. >> you want a new one. >> reporter: for light-hearted jabs. >> i'll do it but i don't need your help. >> you do the punch line. >> oh is that how it works? you're explaining something i already know. >> reporter: in a night that delivered thought to be business as usual "lady bird" won best motion picture comedy. but its director greta gerwig was not even in the running for best director. natalie portman pointing out not
7:04 am
a single woman director was nominate sfwld here are. >> here's the all male nominees. >> nicole kidman. >> laura dern. >> reese, come here and get this. >> okay. >> time is up. we see you. we hear you. and we will tell your stories. thank you. >> reporter: it was also a night of historic wins. >> nominees for best actor in a tv series drama are -- railroad sterling k. brown, the first black actor to take home the honor in television drama. >> i'm being seen for who i am and it makes it that much more difficult to dismiss me or dismiss anybody who looks like me. so thank you. >> you're the first african-american man to win best actor in a drama in the history of the golden globes. >> crazy. >> congratulations. >> thank you very much. i appreciate that. >> that must mean a great deal you to. >> it does. i was blown away and now i'm just humbled. >> reporter: it was none other
7:05 am
than oprah winfrey accepting the cecil b. demille lifetime achievement award who may have summed up what the night was all about. >> speaking your truth is the most powerful tool we all have and i'm especially proud and inspired by all the women who have felt strong enough and empowered enough to speak up and share their personal stories. but it's not just a story affecting the entertainment industry it's one that transcends any culture, geography, race religion politics or workplace. for too long women have not been heard or believed if they dared to speak their truth to the power of those men. but their time is up. [ applause ]
7:06 am
their time is up. >> reporter: trending on twitter and overnight her long hype time partner stedman graham saying a presidential run is a possibility. telling the "l.a. times" and i quote, it's up to the people but she would absolutely do it. i can tell you both after that speech she had quite a few people in that room saying they sure did like the sound of president winfrey. george and robin, back to you in new york. >> just incredible. i know oprah says she has no plans to run. that's what she told bloomberg overnight. not so farfetched. >> we'll have much more backstage just ahead. now to that travel nightmare affecting flights all over the world. the water main break shut down one of the terminals in new york's kennedy airport and canceled and delayed flights creating more trouble after that monster storm stranded so many passengers. look at the bags piled up. our senior transportation correspondent david kerley is on the scene. good morning, david. >> reporter: good morning, george. it is going to be another day of struggles here at jfk.
7:07 am
the airport still hasn't recovered from the storm and that is unacceptable according to the head of the port authority and then the pipe breaks making it a true nightmare in the terminal behind me. just when it seemed it couldn't get worse that water pipe at jfk burst apparently from the freezing cold. three inches of water flooding part of the main international terminal. two-thirds of overseas flights affected. diverting jets to atlanta sending international passengers through custom there is and fly to jfk as a domestic flight. but even before the water failed, jfk was a mess. two days after the bomb cyclone an aviation source telling abc news that many airlines tried to recover from the canceled friday flights and run a regular schedule too. for some that meant doubling the number of flights and there just weren't enough gates and everything slowed to a crawl. >> the bottom line is that the
7:08 am
overall performance in terms of getting passengers to gate getting them unloaded in a timely fashion was completely unacceptable. >> reporter: thousands of bags attest to that as does lilly crawford who saw it all, the thursday storm, the slowdown and broken pipe and still waiting to fly to china. >> nobody can tell me and no one wants to give me an answer because they know they'll be wrong. . >> reporter: there are more than 100 airlines here and most other airports have a half dozen, a dozen but there was a problem in communication, george. passengers will pay for that again today. lilly says she'll get on a flight later today. >> you can see the problems cascade. thanks very much. all right, george as david just mentioned the deep freeze likely to blame for that water main break but there is good news. that relentless record-braking cold finally coming to an end. ginger, don't have to tell you 13 days of below freezing temperatures.
7:09 am
longest stretch since, what 1961. >> 1961 in a place like raleigh, north carolina that you think would be above freezing has been subfreezing for almost 200 hours there shattering records there too and this morning a little price to pay for the thawout. we have snow and ice falling from parts of eastern ohio through western pennsylvania schools are closed just south of louisville thanks to the ice. there are plenty of accidents on the roads in northern alabama. look at this video out of missouri. this is what it looked like when you hit the pink on the radar. that's how i attribute when people say what do the colors mean? that means pink on radar when you slip around on rides like that and you have that large stretch of a flash flood warning in louisiana and new orleans and then it'll come here this afternoon and evening right before we warm up to freezing just look out in the evening commute from philadelphia up through new york city. robin. >> discuss what you said warm up to freezing. all right thank you. robin, we switch gears and get the latest from the bombshell book about the white house, "fire and fury." number one best-seller on amazon already reprinted several types
7:10 am
and now trump's former top strategist steve bannon is trying to walk back some of his most explosive comments in the book. our chief white house correspondent jon karl in washington with the story. good morning jon. >> reporter: good morning, george. it took several days but now steve bannon is apologizing or at least sort of apologizing for some of the comments he made to the author michael wolff. first the president declared steve bannon had lost his mind. now the white house is slamming him as angry and vindictive. >> it reads like an angry, vindictive person spouting off to a highly discredible author. >> reporter: he is finally expressing regret but only for what he said about the president's eldest son. donald trump jr. is both a patriot and a good man, bannon said in a written statement. he has been relentless in his advocacy for his father and the agenda that has helped turn our
7:11 am
country around. a far cry from what he told michael wolff. specifically about the trump tower meeting that jump junior set up with jared kushner and then campaign manager paul manafort. with a russian lawyer said to have dirt on hillary clinton. in the book he is quoted suggesting it was treasonous and that congressional investigators are, quote, going to crack don junior like an egg on national tv. now bannon is saying he has regrets. >> he doesn't use the word sorry. he doesn't use the word apology but he's tried to walk things back trying to preserve his viability as a leader of the conservative movement. >> reporter: the sort of mea culpa comes after the president blasted wolff and his, quote, fake book and came up with a new nickname for bannon over the weekend. >> i guess sloppy steve brought him into the white house quite a bit and it was one of those things. that's why sloppy steve is now looking for a job. >> reporter: the president is also responding suggestions in the book that even some of his
7:12 am
own top advisers consider him dumb and crazy. the president tweeting quote, throughout my life my two greatest assets have been mental stability and being like really smart. calling himself, quote, a genius and a very stable genius at that. bannon doesn't specifically dispute anything in the book and he doesn't apologize for many of his other disparaging comments including calling the president's daughter ivanka quote, dumb as a brick. the quasi-apology is not going to go very far at the white house where bannon was once such a major force but he is now seen as a traitor. >> he sure is. okay jon, meantime, it's not from the book but axios is reporting new insight into the president's schedule behind the scenes. >> reporter: they got a look at his private schedule thenot the one that's public and beginning it at 11:00 coming into the oval office and big blocks of time
7:13 am
for what is called executive time not a lot of meetings at least not on the schedule. and, george the president does have a busy day and a long day today, however, he is going to nashville, he's going to atlanta where he'll be attending the national college football championship game. >> okay jon, thanks very much. for more on it from matthew dowd. our chief legal analyst dan abrams. matt, let me begin with you. steve bannon paying a price for his comments to michael wolff but he's not the only one in the book with these revelations and what you read on the page there is what we've been hearing from behind the scenes for a long time. >> i have to say every time i hear stable genius i smile because it feels like it's tom smith, the horse trainer from "seabiscuit" when you talk about a stable genius. i think it's an unbelievable break we've seen in this. i think that we haven't seen a breakup in this kind of celebrity thing probably since dean martin and jerry lewis, probably going to take years to fix. and i think the president is as
7:14 am
you watched him, his behavior has only confirmed what all those people on the record and off the record said in the book. >> all these questions about the president's mental capacity and michael wolff said yesterday some of these aides talk about invoking the 25th amendment but that's pretty farfetched. >> as a legal matter the 25th amendment is a liberal pipe dream. it was enacted post-john kennedy being shot and the fear was this could be a president who is in a coma, what are we going to do? some are going to say this is the same okay as a procedural matter it's harder than impeachment. >> you have to get a majority of the cabinet and two-thirds. >> first you have to get the vice president and majority of the cabinet. if the president then objects to that you have to get two-thirds of the house and senate with impeachment you only need the majority of the house so if the president is going to be kicked out of office based on a constitutional principle, it's going to be impeachment. it's not going to be the 25th
7:15 am
amendment. >> meantime, one of the things we're seeing is new reporting out, robert mueller and his special counsel investigation focusing more on obstruction of justice, that's going to raise the question of is mueller going to ask the president for an interview. will the president grant it? >> i think mueller is going to ask the president for an interview and i don't think the president is going to grant it. my guess is his lawyers will offer to submit some sort of written statement, something that assures them that he didn't do anything wrong. that's not what mueller wants. mueller doesn't want some statement from the president but sit across the table or have one of his investigators do it ask him questions, see what the responses are, follow up with additional questions and be able to ask about any topic that they want. in my view there's no way that's going to happen. we'll see. >> before we go i got to ask oprah 2020, all over twitter last night after that speech. she says she's not interested at all but if she were to get in the next day she'd probably be leading the fight for the democratic nomination. >> she'd be leading the democratic ticket and i've
7:16 am
learned in the last 18 months two years never to discount anybody. i think oprah has to decide where her power is president as a pastor of the country and has to make that decision. >> we will be watching. thanks to you both very much. robin. >> okay george and now we'll move on because president trump also is closely watching high-stakes talking between north and south korea. trump expressing hope something good will come out of the meet ago mid tensions over the north's nuclear program. our chief global affairs reporter martha raddatz is in seoul, south korea, with more. good morning martha. >> reporter: good morning, robin. these will be the first high-level talks between the north and south this more than two years. the talks will be held at the so-called truce village on the borer between north and south korea. the topic of the meeting will be limited to the north's participation in the upcoming olympic games but it is an important step. on the face of it these talks have nothing to do with the nuclear standoff between the u.s. and north korea. but on saturday despite what he
7:17 am
has said in the past president trump said that he would be willing to talk by phone to kim jong-un. a statement clarified by u.n. ambassador nikki haley on "this week" with george? what he has basically said is yes, there could be a time where we talk to north korea but a lot of things have to happen before that actually takes place. they have to stop testing. they have to be willing to talk about banning their nuclear weapons. >> reporter: kim says they are not willing to do that but it is doubtful he will test a missile in the next few days since it would jeopardize the talks about the olympics but there is no telling what he will do once the talks are over. robin. >> there's always no telling what he's going to do. would you allow me to switch gears for a minute. who dat, who dat going to beat them saints. i have to do that. it was a heart-pounding finish. the saints my beloved new orleans saints taking on the carolina panthers and carolina still had a chance with time running out but this sack sealed
7:18 am
the deal and new orleans marching on to minnesota. yes, they are going to face the vikings in the next round of the playoffs and like we need a reason to celebrate when you're part of what dat nation. >> did i take to the streets in new york. >> it's a little cold. >> major storm coming to california too. >> you'd think, maybe that sounds fires are out, you don't need one to two inch rainfall rates. that's what they are preparing for. is an in a -- santa barber county sandbagging. it will come in overnight. let's get to the select cities brought to you by downy.

8:19 am
shows coming up. >> i do not think this is going away. i don't think that means everybody will wear all black to every awards show. who knows. i could be proven wrong but the s.a.g. awards are two weeks from yesterday with all female presenters and it is on the one-year anniversary of the women's march. so, my bet is that you're going to see a lot of significance on women's issues. and i think that's wonderful. this can't go away. >> we could talk about more than fashion with you, cindi. i love that. i love that. >> fashion and. fashion and. fashion and. yes. >> fashion and. >> this wasn't an anti-fashion movement. they were taking fashion and putting it at the center. >> very true. all right, cindi thank you. to ginger. let's d maybe this will happen to you music riwhen that music starts baby elliot starts going for it. look at this.
