harvey weinstein. now telling her story for the first time and putting hollywood on notice. she's live this morning only on "gma." and tom brady on defense. the superstar quarterback cutting short an interview after a radio host goes after his young daughter. what he told our reporterover night as he gets ready to go for his sixth super bowl ring. and we do say good morning, america. we have a lot to get to. a very busy tuesday morning. live at the capitol where president trump will deliver his first state of the union address just hours from now. >> and politicians and guests will be there for the president's speech, but they may want to double-check those tickets. take a look at what was printed on some of the ticket, state of the uniom. >> uniom. >> not union. they reprinted the tickets.

if you don't have uniom, you really do have a fake ticket. >> got a lot of news to get to including striking new developments in the russia investigation. house republicans voted to release a classified memo targeting the fbi for its handling of the russia investigation. a move president trump's own justice department has called extremely reckless just hours after the fbi director moved up his retirement. pierre thomas is tracking all the latest from washington. good morning, pierre. >> reporter: george, good morning. republicans say they're just exposing what they believe is questionable conduct by justice department and fbi officials in launching the russia probe. but democrats are calling it a hatchet job aimed at protecting the president. the classified republican memo alleging fbi and justice department wrongdoing in the russia investigation is now at the white house where president trump has five days to decide whether to actually declassify it. it arrived at the white house after the house intelligence committee voted along party lines to publicly release the

document. republicans saying it's all about transparency. >> if there's wrongdoing in any federal agency, we have a responsibility to expose that and take the appropriate action. >> reporter: but the justice department has called the potential release of the report without time to address security concerns reckless for the potential risk of harm to national security and ongoing investigations and democrats are crying foul saying the release is designed to shift attention away from the special counsel's russia probe. >> this committee voted to put the president's personal interests, perhaps their own political interests above the national interests. >> reporter: last night's vote came on the heels of deputy fbi director andrew mccabe stepping down five weeks before his anticipated retirement. mccabe the subject of months of searing criticism from congressional republicans and president trump. this after the president fired former fbi director james comey. at issue, mccabe's wife had been a virginia political candidate as a democrat.

receiving a campaign donation from a hillary clinton ally. republicans criticizing mccabe for not recusing himself from the clinton e-mail probe when he became deputy director and president trump repeatedly bashing him in tweets. why didn't a.g. sessions replace acting fbi director andrew mccabe, a comey friend who was in charge of clinton investigation but got big dollars, $700,000 for his wife's political run from hillary clinton. but monday president trump refused to comment about mccabe. >> thank you all. >> thank you. thank you. >> no comment yesterday but sources tell abc news in private trump has been openly disdainful of mccabe. >> no comment from the president but we have heard from the former fbi director james overnight. >> reporter: george, comey did tweet writing special agent andrew mccabe stood tall over the last eight months when small people were trying to tear down an institution we all depend on.

he served with distinction for two decades. i wish andy well. i also wish continued strength for the rest of the fbi. america needs you. george. >> okay, pierre thomas, thanks very much. we have more on the president's first state of the union address and expected to focus on the economy, immigration and national security and our senior white house correspondent cecilia vega has more on how it's coming together behind the scenes. good morning, cecilia. >> reporter: hey, robin. busy day at the white house. the white house says it will be must see tv. we all know it's a president who excels in primetime. behind the scenes exactly what president trump will say tonight remains a bit of a mystery, i've got to say even those among his inner circle, very few have seen the entirety of the speech he's going to give tonight, unlike that american carnage speech that the president gave during his inaugural address, this one, i'm told, will be -- the key phrase for it will be optimism and the president gave specific

direction he wanted to see it as a positive and uplifting speech. for months he's been sending, passing along phrases and key lines he wants to see in his speech tonight but really the primary speech writer is stephen miller, a hard-liner on immigration. i'm told the president did spend the weekend editing it and did a full practice run here in the white house map room yesterday and he'll be spending the day doing preps for the speech today. last-minute prep, robin,s about as you know the white house says the entire first family will be here from the first lady to all the president's children but barron is not going. it is a school night. >> what can you tell us about the special guests that will be there tonight? >> reporter: these guest also give us a sense of what the president is going to talk about. let's take a look at a few. a family that benefits from the president's tax plan. parents of two daughters killed by the ms-13 gang and small

business owners. democrat, a number of them, are protesting the speech and won't be there tonight. >> thank you. we'll get analysis from our newest political contributor here at abc, chris christie, joining us here on "gma." special report. welcome. >> happy to be here. >> let's start with the state of the union. you ran against president trump in the republican primaries but you've been his friend and adviser for a long time. what is his biggest challenge tonight? what should he do? >> it's to turn the page to things that the american people really care about as we heard from the opening of the show this morning, there's so many things that are going on that don't really necessarily affect the everyday lives of americans. and i think he needs to get back to being the president who is speaking to their concerns. >> so the elephant in the room, the russia investigation, don't mention it? >> no. i don't think there's anything he can say that makes any sense and i think if he gets in and gets down that rabbit hole he tends to get angry about it and that's not the person you want to see tonight. >> you probably aren't going to see that on the teleprompter. he tweeted a lot including

andrew mccabe, we just had that story about the deputy director of the fbi. now you've got three people in the justice department fired by president trump. several others who have been pressured to leave. how do you respond to people like james comey who says these are attacks by small people on an institution america needs. >> first off i don't think we should make a mistake about who is making some of these decisions. it's pretty clear that chris wray has made the decision. >> the president was pretty publicly tweeting about him. >> he's been doing that for months. >> he was your lawyer in private practice. >> he was and chris and i have known each other and i worked for him when i was in the justice department back in the bush administration so i know him very well. i think this is chris wray methodically putting his team in place. remember, whether you agree with jim comey or don't, chris wray has the right to have his own team in place and i think the direction he thinks it needs to go in. director wray will make those decisions himself.

>> he's also weighed in on the other decision the president is facing, the house intelligence committee wants to release this classified memo targeting the fbi and wray made it clear he doesn't think it should happen and the rest of the justice department says it would be extremely reckless. what do you think the president should do? >> i don't think it matters. he's going to release it. >> you think it's a mistake. >> you've got to be careful to go down this road because once you do, you know, the worm can turn on you too and so i think this is something the president should really carefully consider. i'm sure he probably has. my guess is that he's going to release it. because that gets to his underlying premise, the entire russia investigation shouldn't be happening in the first place, but, listen, when i was in the justice department we made these decisions in a careful way. >> you see the president and so many house republicans waging a war against the fbi. this seems to be a flip of the script. >> it does and i also think it's a long-term problem for our party if we continue this. not only for our party but for the country.

listen, mistakes are made at the fbi and have been made over the years and documented them over time and they need to be held to account for that. but, you know, in a way that's not so political. we need to let this new fbi director, because, let's face it, jim comey and i are friends, but he made some pretty big mistakes in 2016 with both parties that i think were wrong for the director to do. let's give the new director the chance to do it the right way. >> you know president trump. you know robert mueller. what does the president have to fear from robert mueller? >> robert mueller is not someone to be trifled with and he's not someone who takes lightly the words of anybody who he's looking at and so what i've said all along is that in an investigation like this there's lots of things -- nothing you can do to make it shorter. lots of things you can do to make it longer. >> should the president sit down with him face-to-face? >> no. >> why not? >> i don't think there's been

any allegation, credible allegations against the president and i don't think the president should be sitting across from the special counsel. the presidency is different. i don't think they should do that and i think the administration has been cooperative in other ways and lots of people have gone to meet him. >> you don't think the president has questions to answer about possible obstruction of justice? >> no, i don't think he does but the fact is that's a high standard to meet and we've all gone through it before and i don't think we've met that standard as to president trump but we've got to continue to watch it because the one thing i can tell you for sure and what i loved about being a prosecutor only i knew what i knew. only bob mueller knows what he knows and we won't know for awhile. they're throwing darts at the wall with a blindfold on. >> chris christie, thanks for joining us and you'll be joining us tonight as well and the rest of the political team for live coverage of the president's address at 9:00 eastern. michael. now to the new warning about the flu.

the cdc says it could be the deadliest ever for kids. at least 37 children have died. the latest possible victim, a 7-year-old boy in virginia. some dramatic new information this morning about the flu and adrienne bankert is here to bring that to us. good morning, adrienne in good morning, to you, michael. take a look at this. kinsa uses realtime thermometer and colors changing showing a big rise of symptoms from october to january. the data suggests 5% of the country might be sick with the flu right now. one of the flu's latest apparent victim, that 7-year-old boy in virginia. these would be some of the last words samantha baynes would hear from her 7-year-old. >> mommy, mommy, i don't feel good so i cuddled him. >> reporter: kevin baynes the latest to die in a season expected to break records. when he was admitted he wouldn't walk.

he could barely talk. he tested positive for the flu and strep throat then was sent home with medication. but just 30 hours later his sister went to his bed and noticed he wasn't breathing. >> i never imagined it could kill him. >> reporter: cities around the country are taking drastic measures to protect children. among the most vulnerable. new york governor andrew cuomo with an emergency declaration authorized pharmacists to give flu shots to kids. miami-dade schools accepting thousands of robocalls raf a spike in absence. >> health officials recommend getting the flu vaccine. it is not too late. >> reporter: grady memorial hospital in atlanta has seen a 25% jump in flu cases. to help handle more patients they hired the nation's only mobile unit with 14 beds and an operating room. >> we've had at least two days this month over 500 visits in the same day and we've not had that in the 15 years that i've been here.

>> reporter: well, as or that 7-year-old who died the family is waiting for final results from the medical examiner. >> we keep hearing you take your kids to the hospital, they're released and take a turn for the worst. what are the symptoms you should look out for? >> you want to watch for shortness of breath or labored breathing. a really big sign from the cdc and watch for dehydration in kids and if their skin looks blue you need to get back to the doctor right away is there thank you so much, adrienne. appreciate it. now we're going to shift to the latest on the u.s. gymnastics sexual abuse scandal. abc's linsey davis has details. >> reporter: this is a rarity. legislation that both sides of the aisle seem to agree on. the house passed it monday and today it goes to the senate to prevent future predators to hurt athletes. they are to immediately report allegations of sexual abuse to

law enforcement and it would limit one-on-one interactions between mon evacuainors and dul comes a week after the sentencing of larry nassar who was convicted of sexually abusing more than 150 women and girls. seems like this is going to be a no-brainer and pass although three people abstained. >> three abstained from that? >> yes. >> thank you. to you to the super bowl. just five days away, the teams arriving in minnesota for the big game and patriots quarterback tom brady's facing a challenge off the field. a radio host criticizing his young daughter but now brady's responding. eva pilgrim spoke with him and joins us now from minneapolis. good morning to you, eva. >> reporter: good morning, michael. tom brady rejaacting like many parents would. he's used to being criticized on the field but talking about his kids is going too far. >> the afc champion, new england

patriots. >> reporter: the kickoff to super bowl week drew super fans and superstars to minneapolis overnight but tom brady making headlines this morning for playing a different position, dad. going on the defensive after a boston radio show host made a derogatory comment about his 5-year-old daughter. >> your kids are off-limits. >> i think any 5-year-old is off limits at the end of the day. i think everyone would probably feel the same way about their kids. >> reporter: weei radio host alex reimer making the remark about his daughter after she was featured in his docu-series "tom vs. time." >> i thought the first scene was so staged where brady's like in the kitchen. his kid's being an annoying little [ bleep ]. >> reporter: hearing about it he cut short his interview with the station. >> you know, it's very

disappointing when you hear that certainly with my daughter or any child, you know, they certainly don't deserve that. >> reporter: the radio station responding by suspending reimer saying, we are disappointed and embarrassed by alex reimer's on-air comments made last thursday evening. his remarks were utterly indefensible. mr. reimer remains suspended indefinitely from all weei platforms. this morning brady not sure if he will be on the show again, but showing reimer some compassion. >> i'd certainly hope the guy is not fired. that's -- i would hate for that to happen. >> reporter: and he's still deciding if he'll do the show in the future. he said last night that right now his focus is on the big game, michael. >> and, ill, everybody else's focus is on his hand. how is his hand? the gloves. we know he was asked questions about it. how did he respond to that. >> reporter: he was definitely asked questions about the hand. that all-important throwing hand. he told us he got the stitches out and you referenced that red glove.

a couple of weeks ago he wore it to a press conference. last night, get this, he showed up with two black gloves on, not sure what that means but if -- how he played last time is any indication i think they'll be just fine. >> and you are wearing two gloves yourself so maybe it's a fashion trend. >> might just be cold out. >> that's what he played it on too. >> over to ginger. >> going to be really cold where she is by sunday. yes, sussex county long island where were we start. coastal storm six icks up to here massachusetts i-95 with that clipper coming through another shot of snow and really cold behind all of that. tuesday trivia brought to you by downey.

handlers to hand him the victims from starting with the agents and managers and ending up and one of the things people don't understand about the hotel room specifically is people think it's like you open the door and there is a bed. these are people with the entire presidential suite. that means it's the entire top floor of a hotel. usually three offices so and it was not unusual, i've auditioned in many hotel rooms, the director comes and sits and that's how it goes. >> you talk about that fateful meeting and wrote about it and talked about when you were leaving the room and this is what you said when you walked out, you said i feel a hand on my back and pushes me farther into the tiny incredibly hot room, everything at this point happened so quickly and yet so slowly. i'm confused as to why i'm in this room and then you go on to say, rose, it all happened so fast, my clothes are getting peeled off me and only gets worse. only gets worse from there in what you wrote. foezen. helpless. what were you feeling? >> a lot of victims and

survivors will say they detach, you know, and you really do. you float up above your body because you're trying to figure out -- my brain was literally when he grabbed me i was thinking, oh, i hope i still have lipstick on for the camera so your brain is in another place and awe of a sudden your body is like what, what, what and this is not what i expected at 10:00 in the morning, you know. and my then manager got a job with had imfor seven years after that. you do the math. >> you do talk about all the people around him and in hollywood and enablers and that and something about when you left there, okay, this happens to you, that fateful meeting. you still have events to do. your co-star is ben affleck and wrote about this in the book. had you to go to an event with him after. did you say anything to him? did he say anything, ben affleck. >> i looked at him an i must have had tears in my eyes because i remember shaking and i said i just came from a meeting

with him and i said his name and he goes, that's when he said, goddamnn it i told him to stop doing that. it's like you file it away for a later date to pick through but you analyze every single move that happened and the complicity machine and i started hammering that word three years ago. i came -- three years ago i was like, okay, let's go. let's get smarter 10%. i wonder if i can change the world by 10%. that was my goal. >> 10%. >> 10%. >> ben affleck did not -- we tried to reach him for comment but he has -- he has supported you. in the past in his comments and supporting you but we did reach out to him but we did not get a response. >> everybody knew. >> you really believe that. >> i know that. i was there. you know, people kind of think like i don't know these people that i'm on the outside like they are looking in. huh-uh. someone asked me who i would be

if i was a character in "oz," "the wizard of oz." i would be the curtain. i would be the one that saw both sides that no one noticed that was pretty to be used and discarded when done. i was the curtain and absorbed from both sides how to sell to the audience and how to be sold. >> and you're pulling back that curtain. >> why not? you know, nobody talks but to me, the truth isn't revolutionary. it's just the truth and i figure if other people -- i'm not that unique. so if i'm thinking it i'm pretty sure other people are thinking it but a lot of people are like maybe this isn't real because there's such gas lighting in this culture. there's such -- it's blue outside today. the sky is blue and you're thinking, no, it's gray. and you have to fight to keep that voice with everything coming at you that tells you, you're wrong and you're bad and you're dirty because people would come up to me on the streets of hollywood, hey, did you get any good blah, blah,

[ cheers and applause ] that's what it was. yeah. yeah. i read it cover to cover. and your take on hollywood and

it goes beyond that. you said this book and your story is bigger than hollywood. explain. >> it's bigger than hollywood and i wanted to cover that in the documentary "citizen rose" as well. it's airing tonight actually. it's the other part of the book and then also i have an album that is the other part of the book. it's a three-pronged approach. three years ago i started this project of i wanted to see if i could make people societally including myself 10% more awesome, really, so rose -- the broad hermesage is about thought and about like looking at things. there are no lobbyists for critical thinking and no lobbyists for bravery. you know, this country has a big no fear -- i've seen the bumper stickers everywhere but i say be brave, do it even if your ankles shake because they will and that's what we talked about. >> we were talking about it because when you say you're brave, it doesn't mean that you're not scared. it just means you do the scary

thing anyway. >> because there's no other choice in there's no other choice. >> the other choice leads to i think lying to yourself and a collective lie really and i think the thing is i grew up in a very unusual way to most people but when i came out of that cult, you if you will, i s the same language in hollywood. they were doing the same exact thing that they did in the cult and i thought, well, god, they're really spreading misinformation. they call you guys the flyover states. >> in hollywood. >> flyover states like -- all the suspicions will hollywood that a lot of people have, they're true. i wish it weren't so. i wish everybody was super awesome but sometimes you got to clean house a little bit and the world and it's not just hollywood it's just a systemic thing and it's for men and women and. >> everyone. >> just be free. >> when i was reading your book and you opened my eyes to some things and one thing you said

it's like many of us when we're not -- i'm not in hollywood. it doesn't affect me and you said, whoa, whoa, you don't realize how hollywood affects so many of us. >> yeah. there was a 2-year-old by that i saw on facebook and his mom posted it saying isn't this cute and it was cute. this little boy was along with rambo or like doing every single thing this man was doing timed to a tee and i thought you've just stolen that boy. you just told him what a white male is. there's a lot of thievery that goes on with image and a lot of it is because, you know, if you have one perspective and it's a narrow perspective and it's the same people over and over carrying that all of our voices are not being heard and i do you recognize yourself, women, in movies? do you see yourself? do you see yourself? because i don't see it. >> and that -- >> if i'm not seeing it others aren't seeing it but they don't know. they think it was entertain many. i was the thing sent out to make

you nervous. if a girl went to the movies, don't you want to be like me meant to turn him on so there are messages and everything counts. i believe every detail counts and that's why i say in the beginning of "brave," thank you. i take it very seriously that my words will rest in your brain. i really considered that, you know, i really with my work, with the movie "dawn" which i directed which is so for young women, cautionary tale and anybody about people that are telling you you're not seeing what you're seeing. >> when i looked at the cover of your book and we -- you know, it's beautiful. >> thank you. >> and that image right there was your hair, you talked about it early on in the book and that's one of the things also, the perception that we have how a woman should look and such. it was important for you to have the cover like that. >> it was very important for me to have the cover like that and

give people privacy. would wants my stupid face smiling on the cover. not me. you know, but it was also just, you know, someone at the publishing company said what if people think you have cancer and i said, so. like they're brave people. i dent know. i think the story is universal. i don't -- what if, okay, but people are so used to doing the what if. how do you know what people think. if i like it, i know i'm not that unique so maybe someone else will like it too. >> yeah, and because when you were talking about the hair -- because that's also part of it and i had forgotten when we were showing the setup east and from "charmed" and seeing you with the long hair. >> isn't it weird? >> and different -- yeah, but that was part of -- >> it was like doing drag as a woman for me and there were so many things and wrong in my life in that life, i couldn't pinpoint -- i thought it was

micro things. i thought it was smaller things that were wrong and, in fact, i the entire system that's wrong. oh, okay. got it. i can be free. and that was, you know, and i talk about it in the book and i say so many people -- mostly women who can be super misogynistic too, trust, and it's bred into them and i think you're working against your own interests. >> what do you say to some people who say you're angry, why did you stay in hollywood? why didn't you leave? how do you respond? >> yeah, because famous people can go out and get a job anywhere, right? because someone would hire me for what? i did it since i was 14 years old. what other skill set -- this was my job. it wasn't my passion. i happen to be very good at it and also good at tying my show. >> and you have rose army. that has to mean a lot to you. you're giving them a voice to be able to share their story in yeah. >> how do you day to people because you have this platform and there's twitter and social media and quickly how you can

own your voice and your story. >> don't be afraid to talk to the people in charge. i tweeted at jeff bezos and i'm sure most would wait five years to get a meeting. let me tell you a couple of things. it's people have a voice, everybody has a voice and the voice is add it up. what's wrong with being angry? if you're angry, anger covers pain. i don't know if you can truly deal with bane -- like why if they have stages of grief that we all know about anger, sadn s sadness, why is it not the same after a sexual assault? because part of you dies. but we can live, but we don't have to and that's not fair. that's what i'm talking about. you know, in health class they taught me to submit so i wouldn't get killed and i submit get men free of what they're supposed to be because they don't know how to process emotions. nobody -- who's doing that here? just be free. just feel it. it's okay.
