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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

can't say on television and then trying to backtrack and sort of switch the narrative from what he said about the blank holes over the weekend is fascinating but i found it tone deaf given it was martin luther king day. >> the president's ability to get his allies to go along with him on these stories. >> well, it's an amazing situation and i'll agree with meghan on all of this. this is a guy who had a victory within his grasp and then through a series of fumbles and personal fouls, he's put himself in a situation where he has to be like case keenum to throw a 61-yard pass to stefon diggs to win it when it was a victory he already had. the thing that's amazing to me the inability of the gop and congress to provide the checks and balances on this president who seemed to constantly go along with the crazy stuff he does. >> and, meghan, do you agree with what jon karl is reporting, this puts more pressure on republicans to get a deal on immigration? in yes, 100%, but this -- the

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

trump fired basically three campaign managers, one paul manafort is under multiple indictment, two campaign managers as i say were also fired are now going to testify on the hill related to whether or not there was russian coordination or russian collusion in the midst of this. this is uncharted territory, george that we have never seen in a president in the first year in office. >> matt dowd. >> yeah, no, i am fascinated to see whether bannon continues to turn in the hearings because he did with michael wolff. he's completely toothless. no funding from the mercers so this seems like a situation where he might turn and give us some of the information i think all of us are waiting to hear. >> we will be watching. thank you both very much. michael. >> thank you, george nths now to the dangerous and deadly flu. it's hitting nearly every state in the country hard and steve osunsami is at cdc headquarters in atlanta where they're holding an emergency meeting. good morning, steve. >> reporter: good morning, michael. this particular strain of flu we're seeing the most is hardest

on children and senior, already across the country the number of children hospitalized has doubled in the last two weeks which makes this meeting today here at the cdc especiallily timely. this morning, this 38-year-old father and picture of health needs machines to breathe after coming down with the flu. adam york is still hospitalized in birmingham. at one point in a medically induced coma. >> 24-hour period he went from talking to me on the phone to being in the bed on these machines struggling to live. 24 hours is fast. >> reporter: the cdc is calling an epidemic sweeping across nearly every state and there are 13 more weeks of the flu season still to go. >> this is just a problem bug. we hate it had this bug shows up. >> reporter: this year's most prevalent strain is also the most deadly, 20 children have already died and more than 60,000 americans have tested pod for the flu this season.

katie oxley thomas got sick and died within 47 hours and her family even believes she had already gotten the flu shot. >> we just thought she'd be back home in a couple of days and she wasn't. >> reporter: today the cdc's planned workshop on nuclear attack preparedness was scrapped at the last minute for the flu. they're sounding this alarm instead. here in atlanta the number of patients with the flu showing up at hospitals has more than downed. >> we've tested nearly twice as many patients as we have the year before and we're seeing about four types as much flu. >> reporter: another problem, hospitals need bags of i.v. fluid to treat the flu and there's a shortage after hurricane maria shut down a factory in puerto rico. at mass general in boston, they're having to give some patients gatorade through a stomach tube instead. they say it's still not too late to get a flu shot. if you do get one and get sick your illness won't be as rough. about that father who is hospitalized in a medically induced coma we're learning,

michael, his family doesn't have health insurance and they're raising money for his medical expenses online. michael. >> all right, thank you so much, steve. it doesn't seem to be letting up. >> no, not at all. switch gears an something happier. real anchorman down in the australian open. look who walked out to interview roger federer with john mcenroe. >> now, there is a rumor in the men's locker room that you love coming to play down here in melbourne and your secret to fitness you only eat whombat meat. is that true. >> that is untrue. >> have you ever tasted wombat meat? >> i have not. should i? >> it is delicious. the national food of australia. >> federer plays a good straight man. >> had his anchorman voice going there. he was a great sport. ate whole wheel of cheese my

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

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

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