we want to welcome wabc's chief meteorologist lee goldberg. who is tracking all of the extreme weather for us. lee, good morning, sir. >> good morning. and that ice is getting real old. now that arctic assault is starting to make its way east. that's why we're seeing the snow, ice, and rain blossom across parts of the tennessee and ohio valley. you have icing in nashville, london, kentucky. there's some snow in charleston, west virginia, at this point. throughout the day, the icing along the piedmont. it will be worse along i-81 in virginia, places like roanoke. it's a quick hit of snow for places like d.c., philly, up to new york city. maybe a couple of inches before you see a changeover to freezing rain and eventually rain. the monday morning commute that is probably icy. allow extra time for that. meanwhile, even though the storminess has left the south, the cold is locked in. we're below freezing in dallas. with a freezing fog advisory. it will be awhile until they thaw out. we'll tell you the timing on the thaw, the western chill, the eas

as the hole grows in size, so does goldberg's anxiety.er biggest fear is the exposed gas lines. >> we have all the gas company people out there to start shutting off gas lines around the area. you break a water line you get water. you break an electric thing you might get a live wire down. but gas explodes. so we got the gas turned off pretty darn quickly. that's why there were no explosions in the surrounding area. >> the neighboring streets are shut down to traffic. about 70 patients are evacuated from a nearby hospital. although people in the area are inconvenienced, no one is injured or killed. city and state investigations conclude that the sink hole is caused by the water main break, but there's still debate about whether it was caused by corrosion of the aging main or triggered by subway construction. >> it was a broken main. not just the pipe but the main. and that water had been coming in for some time before it was detected. >> crews repair the water main, fill the hole with concrete and repair the road. hollywood boulevard beco

goldberg.t do we know about this. >> the first thing we know, bill is that cns a division of the media research center. that's the conservative watchdog group that exposes liberal bias in the news. this may be an example conservative bias in the news. cns the other day as you said reported that 41% of the new jobs are government jobs. as you also said and this is important, rush limbaugh picked it up and other web sites picked it up so it was out there. it was all over the place. except that it isn't that 41% of the new jobs were government jobs. these were old government jobs. these were people who had worked for the government for a year, for five years, maybe for 30 years that were going back to work after they were furloughed because of the government shutdown. so they were not new government jobs. they were old government jobs. people simply going back. if you take that into account, the number isn't 41% it's 3.5%. that is a huge difference. the reason this is important is because there ar

over to wabc's lee goldberg.res from albany, i mean, one of the higher tolls around the northeast. it was snowing at 10 degrees. so a pottery snow when it's that cold and dry and piles up in a hurry. that storm is now leaving the albany area. boston, a half foot of snowfall, now ending as rain so it's a bit of a slush fest from new york city to boston. now we'll talk about additional amounts in northern new england. upwards of a foot of snow and then that storm leaves the scene. there are your pictures from boston right now. cloudy skies and six inches of snow ending as some rainfall. so, now, behind the storm, we talk about the cold blast. and this will mean a refreeze for tomorrow morning. i think we're going to drop and bottom out as we go through the first couple of days this week then start to recover. but we recover ahead of a front that drops another hit of snow from the midwest into the northeast and that could actually be a few inches of snowfall. meanwhile, across the country, you have that cold. you wa

michelle goldberg writes for the nation. let's be sophisticated about this.ese states are so conservative that probably the most conservative will win no matter what. south carolina, mississippi. i'm trying to think of the other one. maybe wyoming. there's no way a republican loses the general election unless they're a witch or a nut. so basically there's no danger here. but in four of these seven races reasonably close to the states. so there is some danger there of creating a situation where whoever wins the primary is so far drawn to the right incumbent or challenger they have lost a chance of winning a state which is really safe for the rs. >> i'd agree with that, chris. i would take south carolina out of that first bucket of guaranteed conservative win come next fall if, you know, you have the wrong candidate there. south carolina as we've seen with north carolina, georgia, and elsewhere in the south has a very sophisticated general electorate. and so the party has to be, i think, cognizant of these changes certainly at the grassroots level. more broadly

thank you, michael steele and michelle goldberg. >>> up next, rush limbaugh attacks the pope.ncis a marxist because he cares about the poor? i think jesus focused a lot on the poor. this is "hardball," the place for politics. she loves a lot of the same things you do. it's what you love about her. but your erectile dysfunction - that could be a question of blood flow. cialis tadalafil for daily use helps you be ready anytime the moment's right. you can be more confident in your ability to be ready. and the same cialis is the only daily ed tablet approved to treat ed and symptoms of bph, like needing to go frequently or urgently. tell your doctor about all your medical conditions and medications, and ask if your heart is healthy enough for sexual activity. do not take cialis if you take nitrates for chest pain, as this may cause an unsafe drop in blood pressure. do not drink alcohol in excess with cialis. side effects may include headache, upset stomach, delayed backache or muscle ache. to avoid long-term injury, seek immediate medical help for an erection lasting more than 4 h

i didn't turn so i turned to my friend max goldberg for answers. what is gmo? >> gmo stands for genetically modified organism. what it is is food made in a laboratory. up until the last 20 or 30 years, this is food that never existed before. it's made in a laboratory and more often than not they are inserting viruses or bacteria into these plants. >> why do they do that? >> because gmos were designed to sell more chemicals. so when they spray chemicals on the plants, they don't want it to kill the plants. they want it to kill everything around, whether it's weeds or pests. >> so gmos are bug-resistant? >> exactly. the plants are resistant to the chemicals. >> okay. so why are they so bad for our o alth?really seem point? >> no long-term studies have been done on humans but when done on animals, it's pretty appalling. the third generation of hamsters were not able to produce babies. the real issue in our country is that genetically modified foods are not labeled so people do not know that they are eating genetically modified foods. over 60 countries around the w

our friends on the extremist libertarian right and the hard-money goldbergs think this is fabulous. >> let me open this up to our folks in new york. david, rand paul running monetary policy is like -- we think the senate is apocalyptic now. that's the true apocalypse. >> there's a secret code here that justin just referred to when you talk about goldbergs and libertarians. you go from ron paul to rand paul. they've both targeted the fed because they don't like paper money. their followers have conspiracy theories about the fed. some go off the rails. they've played up to this paranoia, which is a component of the tea party right. so rand paul comes and says, i just want to audit the fed. you know, he's not waging a war on christmas. he has been waging a war on the fed. this is just a clever way of doing it and trying to hold the senate hostage to basically satisfy the paranoia he and his dad have been addressing for years. >> the thing i don't understand, maggie, is rand paul, he's been positioning himself for a 2016 run in recent months. let's give him that. reminding everybody of hi

and our friend jeffrey goldberg of the atlantic and bloomberg news. let's start first on iran thing. what do you take from what the iranian foreign minister told liz palmer this morning. >> not much, bob. the fact is that the iranians aren't in these negotiations by accident or tourism. the foreign minister and the new president to power. six men were allowed to run they were called, their names were mr. black, mr. black, mr. black, mr. black, mr. black, mr. light black. it turns out that 61% of the iranians all rushed to the guy who is just a little more moderate than anybody else. actually the word is there were 64% of the government just take this to 51%. what they were saying, tired of sanction, tired of being disconnected from the world. the iranians are in these negotiations for regime survival and the situation. fact that we sent them a little signal early on which is don't think that because we're going to six-month negotiations that it's now green light or yellow light for companies to come back and start. they will be back. they're not there

i said give it to goldberg because we have an obligation to be fair. fox news channel slogan is fair and balanced now, they're usually pretty good at the research center. this one wasn't close. >> yes. this could be just terrible economic analysis. or it could be a -- >> they should explain. cnn should explain. all right. hillary clinton what she's doing now is going around the country ask raising money for other people. this is what potential presidential contenders do. the reason they do it is because they call in favors she'll and they'll come in and pledge aleej yens to hillary clinton. i expect media to give her a good ride >> easy ride? >> yes. a pretty easy ride. >> yes. yes. i they will treat her the way they treat barack obama when he ran for president the reason for that is, in barack obama's case journalists wanted to help shape history because barack obama was a historical figure. hillary clinton is, also. he was the first black president, she may be the first woman president. >> most reporters in the so called >> she's running for presiden

with me now is max goldberg.again for coming back and talking about organic food. >> great to be here. >> you heard what i said. my boyfriend said organic seedless grapes and i kept thinking he didn't understand what organic meant. i didn't get it because we're used to seeing organic seedless grapes when, in fact, seedless is not found in nature. >> when you are talking about organic, that's a standard that was put at the beginning of 2002. there are clear rules and regulations around organic. >> what are they? >> you cannot use genetically modified orgisms and none of those synthetic chemicals or fertilizers so organic uses the natural ecosystem to grow food and to send off against pests. >> that gives rise to two questions. one is seedless is not found in nature, so how is that natural or part of the ecosystem if you have to hybrid to get seedless products? >> well, hybridization is allowed in organic. that's not -- what genetically engineered food is not allowed in nature. >> the difference is what? >> genetic
