we hope you had a great weekend. but what a night for hollywood. women and men taking the red carpet wearing black showing solidarity. passionately making a huge statement at the golden globes 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.

>> ladies and remaining gentlemen. >> reporter: seth meyers didn't miss a beat. >> it's 2018, marijuana is finally allowed and sexual 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 delive

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 a single woman director was nominate sfwld here a. >> 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

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 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

[ applause ] 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. 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

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 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

news. that relentless record-braking cold finally coming to an end. ginger, don't have to tell you 13 days of below freezing temperatures. 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

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 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

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 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

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 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 sc

scenes. >> reporter: they got a look at his private schedule, tnot the one that's public and beginning it at 11:00 coming into the oval office and big blocks of time 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

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 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

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 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 202 a

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 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

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 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

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 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 good for the fire, well, fires are out and you don't need one to two-inch rainfall rates. santa barbara county getting ready for the heavy rains. in the sierra know good to pack that in but all going to come overnight through tomorrow quickly.

fail, how we retreat, persevere and how we overcome. so i want all the girls watching here now to know that a new day is on the horizon. it will be because of a lot of magnificent women, many of whom are right here in this room tonight, and some pretty phenomenal men. fighting hard to make sure that they become the leaders who take us to the time when nobody ever has to say me too. . >> reporter: with all of hollywood inspired by her words. >> there is a movement afoot back here, oprah 2020. >> i'm not kidding. i am all about oprah 2020. >> honestly, president winfrey is just -- >> sounds good. sounds right. >> just rolls off the tongue.

sometimes embarrassed to be activists because there is occasionally this feeling of we know we're so 3ri6privileged. is it really right for us to talk about this. there's a way for them to say we're using the light that is shone upon us. >> going forward what, do you think we'll see? you know, we have our awards 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.

national football championship will be. hey there, amy. >> hey, robin. i have with me basically a god here for georgia football. former uga and nfl legend the one, the only herschel walker, thank you for being with us and we just heard 1980, the last time uga took home a national title. you were on that team. so this has got to be an amazing moment for you then we know that 'bama has going for its second national championship in three years so for people who are at home who might not be big football fans talk us through the key points of tonight's game did well, the key point is going to be you're going to see a prototype of each other. these two peoples are very similar. very well coached. very -- have a lot of athletic people on the team and so they'll see the same team because alabama and georgia, they play the same type of football, very physical and being in the s.e.c. i think people got excited to see. >> it's going to be such a game and the coach something such a

the mentee versus the mentor. talk about that rivalry and how it might may out on the feel. >> the way it'll play out. you'll see two defensive team, these two teams got very, very good defenses and i think one of the things is going to make the difference is i think georgia having to run a game that georgia got but at the same time alabama got such a great defensive front so may see something a little different on the georgia team. i would love to see them throw the ball to show everyone that fromm can throw. >> he can throw and you mentioned sony michel and nick chumm? >> jalen hurts, seeing what he can do. people don't give him the credit he deserves so that alabama -- he's going to be somebody you watch out for and people are going to be surprised at the speed georgia has on their defense. georgia got a lot of speed o

on i think you'll look at alabama, very strong, very big, but you're going to look at georgia that's very fast, so you got speed answer strength and we're going to see what will happen. >> from one uga legend to another i got to bring in this here this is uga, one of the most well -- he is the most well-known mascot. uga 10. you had -- >> uga 4 at the heisman trophy award with me so i was with uga 4. >> herschel walker, who is going to win tonight? >> georgia. >> of course! you heard it here. go, dogs. >> herschel. amy. >> since you mentioned the heisman, can he strike the heisman pose for us just one time? can he do the heist pane pose? >> i got to do it? we're going to do the heisman pose here but the real pose is this.

quite the homecoming for jennifer, alex and i, really an amazing trip. they both told us they wanted to be here. the first time we've come down since the two devastating hurricanes. both of them telling us yesterday they wanted to lend their voices to people that they feel have been forgotten. >> i stand here today in black doing the same from far away and it's the same thing with here in puerto rico. we want to be treated equally. [ applause ] >> reporter: as some of hollywood's brightest stars wore black in solidarity on the golden globes, jennifer lopez joined in over 3,000 miles away in puerto rico. accompanied by her boyfriend alex rodriguez. >> i could have been there but i wanted to be here. i chose to be here. i was look, okay, i'm here. i want you guys to know i'm dressed in black too even though i'm far away in puerto rico. >> reporter: the island ravaged by hurricanes irma and maria last september. the storm destroying countless homes, leaving many americans without power and running water. even to this day.

>> i'm a little bit scared what i'm going to say. >> reporter: we flew to puerto rico 109 days after maria to see how it's recovering. >> everybody is busy. we all have tons of things we're doing and what's important is to follow up and see with our own eyes. >> this is the first time you have both been back to the island since hurricane maria. >> when we flew in we saw all the blue tarps on the roofs, which is an indication that the roofs haven't been fixed yet. we had high hopes that, you know, it was going to be further along than it is. but there's still a lot of work to be done. >> tonight here we are as one voice. >> reporter: back in october jennifer and other celebrities raising $25 million in a telethon on this trip, allocating funds to some of the island's most devastated residents. >> i remember right when the hurricane happened and you guys were talking about the big efforts you wanted to do. >> i would wake up and she would be crying looking at social media and i know that you guys were looking for some family members and you sent security down here and t

found them. but, look, i mean, one thing is to raise money, the other thing is to actually fly down here, feel the warmth of the people, see the beauty of this island. >> we just want to be treated equally. we're americans. we're here to kind of shine a light and let everybody know, like he said, we're in our first inning. we have a long way to go. >> hello. >> reporter: on the ground we visited a women's health center responsible for delivering hundreds of babies after maria. equal health care access, a cause close to jennifer and alex's hearts. >> it's personal to me because i come from a single mother and i know how difficult it is to be a single mother with, you know, two siblings and she took care of all three of us. she had two jobs. i see jennifer who has probably, i don't know, ten jobs and is the best mother i've ever met. >> reporter: this home of an elderly man desperately needing a new roof. the home of this man till with a

we have one of blue fema tarps covering this. he has no front door. it's leaning right here on the wall of his home and they've been without power in this home since hurricane maria. overcome with emotion after learning some of the relief money will help replace that blue tarp. what does it feel like to feel like you can do that for him? >> you know, it's funny, you get -- you do what you can and you know -- you hope it's going to help. >> reporter: through it all amidst the devastation, this morning, the island is resilient and many hopeful. >> so in one word what's your emotional state at the end of the day after meeting all these people and seeing what you've seen? >> i feel hopeful. i feel hopeful. i feel that they gave me hope. >> reporter: and there's that puerto rican spirit we know so well and, you know, that was the kind of joy we saw all over the island yesterday. there was one woman in

us. she hasn't had power since hurricane irma so since before hurricane maria. we traveled home with her last night. her entire community is blank keted in darkness. all you hear there at night is this constant hum of generators and that's a pretty common thing across the island where roughly about half of the people still don't have power and a lot of the water is still undrinkable but one thing they don't lack here is resilience. >> boy, that is so hard to hear right now with the shortage of power still. i know you had a chance to drive all over the island. what were the conditions like generally? >> you know, i would say slowly coming back. one of the things that really struck -- stood out to us as we drove around we drove around one neighborhood where there was one working stoplight but the greenery is coming back which wasn't here right after the hurricane and one resident the way he put it to us was mother nature is recovering even a little faster than the puerto ricans on the island. >> thank goodness for that, lynda, thank you for that story. more on some of those incredible stories of survival and hope from puerto rico tonight on

back here, liam neeson is going to be here live. tone of the most pristine and beautiful parts -- of the world. but barbara comstock just voted to put it up for sale. why? to pay for tax cuts for billionaires and big corporations. comstock supported donald trump's tax scheme for the wealthy, adding $1.5 trillion to the debt and leaving us with the bill.

we won't stand for selling our wild lands to give billionaires a tax cut. jack and jill went up the hill to fetch a pail of water. all because of a burst water pipe in their house that ruined the hardwood floors in their kitchen. luckily the geico insurance agency had helped them with homeowners insurance and the inside of their house was repaired and floors replaced. jack and jill no longer have to fetch water. they now fetch sugar-free vanilla lattes

with almond milk. call geico and see how affordable homeowners insurance can be. ♪ good reason why they're applauding because we're back now with a guest who's known for keeping us on the edge of our seats, from "taken" to his new movie "the commuter" where he plays an ex-cop turns insurance salesman who gets caught on a deadly conspiracy on a train. please welcome liam neeson.

[ applause ] >> this has a little bit of a "taken" twist to it. i want to show a little bit. >> sure, sure. >> "the commuter." >>

little thing, something that's meaningless to you but could profoundly affect an individual on this train? >> why would i do it? >> because there would be a reward. >> uh-huh. so what's the reward? >> in the bathroom carriage 2. there is a package and inside that package is $25,000. >> ooh. [ applause ] >> see. >> more money. you know what i really enjoyed, you know i'm a huge admirer of your work. >> thank you. >> it's the thrilling aspect of it kind of like watching a hitchcock movie. >> well, he's a guy who's just -- he's an insurance salesman. he lost his job because he reached the age of 60. and he's mortgaged up to the hilt and has a kid that has to go to college and this beautiful wo

if you do this one thing thing there is a certain amount of money in the bathroom and $75,000 when you complete this so he finds himself involved in this criminal conspiracy that affects -- that will affect all the passengers on the train and his family and himself. so -- >> yeah. >> thrills and spills. >> always, always and this particular director you worked with you've worked with before in four times. >> we only have a few minutes left and i like many -- do you all have waze? [ applause ] you can get this man's voice now, right? can you give us a little taste, right? [ applause ] >> one of your crew told me what waze was in the back. when you're promoting a film you do all this stuff and you don't know half of what you're doing so waze is i'm giving people directions in the car. >> right. >> like don't turn left.
