Bash in maralago all i can tell you is well do a good job. Reporter donald trump is ringing in 2017 with a twitter blitz. The president elect writing, north korea just stated it is in the final stages of developing a Nuclear Weapon capable of reaching parts of the u. S. It wont happen.

Just 17 days to go before inauguration, trump is promising Something Else on the calendar first. Big news on the russian hacks. I also know things that other people dont know. And so they cannot be sure of this situation. Like what . What do you know that other people dont know . Youll find out on tuesday or wednesday. Reporter hes still doubting evidence from 17 u. S. They have concrete proof of russias involvement. I want them to be sure. I think its unfir if they dont know. Reporter trump is back here in new york today. Meetings in trump tower. Including with mike pence. Everyone is waiting to see if today might be the day that he releases whatever this new information is that he says he has on those russian hackers. George . Now to the new congress. Smouch on its plate from repeal of obamacare, tax reform, confirming trump nominees. Lets bring in mary bruce. Before the official swearing in today, the house gop voted overnight to take away the power and independence of the congressional Ethics Office. Reporter george, this came as a huge surprise. Late last night, behind closed doors, they moved to gut their own watchdog. The independent Ethics Office. Meant to investigate allegations of their own wrong doing. Now republicans want to move the offi a saying it on will create a fairer process. Democrats are outraged. Its a sour note to kick off the first day of the new republicanled congress. A packed schedule. Including getting the trump cabinet nominees confirmed. Reporter democrats are ready to go to battle over the confirmation hearings. Theyre targeting eight of Donald Trumps picks. They want more personal financial records released. If they dont, get ready for a long, drawnout fight on capitol hill. George . Thank you, mar ay. Lets get more from Kellyanne Conway. Thanks for coming. Happy new year. Trump promised to drain the swamp in waugs. He wanted real reform. Is this what he had in mind . I havent discussed this with the president elect directly. But, lets make clear that youre going to have an office of complaint review. The republican majority. Its not independent. The full house will vote on it today. The democrats will have their say. Theres an ambitious agenda to push forward. The republicans have not given the theyve won over 1,000 state legislative seats under president obamas watch. Theres a mandate there for them to make significant change. But is this the way to start gutting the independent Ethics Office . Gutting it doesnt mean there wont be a mechanism. I dont want the viewers to think theres no way for complaints to be reviewed. Theres been an overzealousness in the situation over the years. We dont want people to be mired in years of ethical complaint reviews. North korea is signaling they may test an intercontinental missile. Does that mean president elect trump will order the military to shoot down a test . It doesnt mean anything. The next 17 days. At the same time, President Trump will be tough on those developing nuclear capability. Its been a big disappointment to many americans, including the president elect, that iran, for example, was imboldmboldened an increased their capabilities. Their program son hold. What about north korea . There are so few tools to stop them. What is the president elect suggesting hell do . Hes not stated that publicly. He wont before hes inaugurated. We do know saxs are possible. They have not always worked. I think china would have to have a significant role here as well. Hes putting north korea on notice through this tweet and other statements that this wont happen. He wants to stand between them and their missile capabilities, which experts say could be deployed to reach seattle almost immediately. Finally, on the russian hack. So many people were caught by mr. Trump over the weekend, saying he knows things that other people dont know about the russian hacking. What was he referring to . President s and president elects have to know things you and i dont know. E sure hope they do. Hes privy to Intelligence Briefings of all sorts. Today, hes the consensus of those Intelligence Briefings is that russia was behind it. But Julian Assange of wikileaks said just yesterday it was not a political party. Is that what mr. Trump is referring to . No, no. Hes not referring to that. Hes said hes receiving Intelligence Briefings from the top intelligence officials across the country here in new york early this week. He plans to do that. The reason hes doing that is he wants the information. Hes saying he already knew something on saturday that we dont know. Well, he does know things we dont know. We see a lot of blind quotes. There were cia operatives invited to testify before the house intelligence commute tee and refused to show up and are instead leaking to the press. This is not how we, as americans, want our politics to work. We believe politics should not interfere in our politics. If those officials come to the president elect today or tomorrow, whenever the briefing is, saying we know russia was behind it, will he accept it . He has to see all the evidence. Youre not saying it. Many people on tv try to c conflate any russian hacking with the election results. People are still trying too find a reason that Hillary Clinton lost. You cant deny it. Everyone makes a statement about the russian hacking today are saying, ahha, thats why Hillary Clinton lost. It was embarrassing to have the content of the to the country. They dont like that people were questioning Hillary Clintons judgment . Can she find her voice . It was a very uncomfortable situation for them. Thank you very much. We do expect that briefing today. We do know 17 days until the inauguration. We go amy now. A mishap on a flight . An investigation is under way after a baggage handler became trapped inside the cargo hold of a United Airlines flight from charlotte to washington. Airport workers realized what happened and called the faa. They worked to prove that the man was an employee. Its unclear how he got locked in the cargo hold in the first place. A federal judge says dylann roof is competent to represent himself during the sentencing phase of his trial that starts tomorrow. Theyll decide whether or not he gets the death penalty. California.

In sports, oklahoma beat auburn in the sugar bowl. But the game everyone is talk about is the rose bowl.

Reporter good morning, robin. Actresses with sharp minds just like their late sibling. Joely and tricia lee remember Carrie Fisher. Her warmth and wit drew them close. I think everybody wants to say how sorry they are for what you both have had to go through the last few days. How are you doing . I have been having an out of body experience. The world lost carrie and debbie, of course, and princess leia. We lost our hero. Our mirror. We had the coolest big sister in the world. She was a badass, body, guntoting princess. I mean who has that . Reporter while joely and tricia were raised by con nooe stevens, they shared a father, eddie fisher. I remember seeing her in a 40foot closeup and going, wow, thats my sister. On screen. Thats actually how i really knew about her. Was star wars. Reporter wt us did not . I think that she was more sensitive. She was secretly soft. She was extremely generous. You would walk in and she would just hand you something in her room. We laid on her floor one night and she said, i have these diaries. From star wars. And read them to me. That was a decade ago. I know she said she just found them. Shes she wasnt telling the truth. She read those to me. So i feel like i got be in on the joke. A little bit. And that is important to me. Reporter a final conversation. Via text, filled with talk of family and loved ones. I texted with carrie the night before she got on the plane. And it was um it was sort of out of the blue. We talked about age. Because she was floored that she had just turned 60. We talked about our children. Our frail mothers. And promised to christmas.

It was her mom. But she was handling it. Reporter what did you want your sister to know as you sat in that room with her . I remember just holding her hand. And telling her that we were there. That we would make sure that her daughter was whole. Which she will be. And, i she said she was prag for more time. She wanted more time. I knew that is if carrie wasnt going to survive this, debbie would not. You knew it. You could feel it. Cow could feel it in her tiny little beautiful body. You could see it in her face. She would not last without her on the planet. She wouldnt. And she didnt. Reporter Debbie Reynolds would die a day after carrie. That leaves joely and 2rish ya in sisterly grief and sweet remembrance. I felt cooler and more interesting by being near her. I felt special by having her as a sister. It made me special. Reporter when you want to conjure up the happiest memory you can of carrie, what does it look like . Its more like getting to have her one on one. And not share her. Thats what i thats what i miss. Is being able to just be with her. In her home. Or wherever. And have her to myself. Sorry. Reporter like the rest of us, these loving sisters so saddened that the singular voice of Carrie Fisher has been stilled. But comforted that her performances and her writings will endure. Guys . Oh, what an incredible family. Im glad you asked them both, chris. We have been wondering how the whole family has been. Its still, though some time has passed, its hard to believe. How is everybody out there in that area, that community, still dealing with this . Reporter you know, Carrie Fisher was such an inspiration for so many people. Especially women in the entertainment industry. Who found her as a role model and a powerful guide to succeed with here. Its an incalculable loss. Wickedly, brilliantly funny. Just so humble at the same time. But just knew how to just deliver the laughs. She had the whole studio and myself cracking up. I could barely continue conducting the interview. So free. She is. Her dog, gary, was by her side. He was funny. Now her two great loves, her daughter and her dog together. I saw it on social media. I got chills. We have to move on to the brazen new years eve robbery. While 1 Million People were 1e8 brating here. These people broke in. It went down in the neighborhood. Thousands of Police Officers in times square on new years eve. Those three men pulled off the huge burglary a few blocks away. It was all caught on tape. Happy new year reporter while millions rang in the new year in times square, flanked by about 7,000 Police Officers this is how three thieves kicked off 2017 just a few blocks away. The suspects waiting until the stroke of midnight to begin their meticulously planned heist. The utter distraction of what is going on a number of blocks away at times square, also, think, in their mind probably gave them some sort of kever. Reporter in this dramatic su valance video, you can see two of the men with a pry bar and hammer trying to gain entry. One of them looking straight into the camera. Inside, Officials Say the suspects removed jewelry from two saves. Sneaking off with approximately 6 million worth of juls.

Police say after the heist, the trio fled down the sixfloor stairwell of the investigators now wondering if this was an inside job.

Now in great tasting crystals. Were back now with the big board. Rebecca jarvis here at the table with us. We begin with a new worry for air travelers. Hackers stealing flight information and other information fromou oh, boy. The risk is on the rise. Lets bring in our aviation consultant steve ganyard. Every time you log into your reservation or you check in to print boarding passes, that sixtarget i. D. There contains lots of personal information. Your email, your address, your phone number. Its just one step away from all your credit card numbers. The problem was the systems were built in the 60s and 70s. The global reservation systems. Long before privacy was a concern. The systems are showing their vulnerabilitie vulnerabilities. Many of us have seen those numbers and thought nothing of it. Its scarier because hackers dont really need that. They can find out in other ways, too. They can take a picture. They can stand off and take a picture of your boarding pass. A picture of your baggage tag. Or go on instagram or social media and googleoa people like to put their boarding passes up there. Take a look at those pictures, you get all the personal information in an instant. Step one, dont goog put your boarding pass up on social media. What else can travelers do to protect themselves . First of all, these companies that do the global reservations need to tighten security protocols. Its a new year. We need to step back and one of the things we can do to protect ourselves is work on your pass words. Use strong pass words. One way to do that is create a fras. A couple of special characters. Get away from using your pets. We have all done that. Another thing that can be done is buy an app. So people saying, what should i use for a pass word . Apps can provide that help. This is just a number of the ways you can help yourself. Keep safe. And remember to take that flight. I used to leave it there. And then i remembered what you had said some time ago. I takt with me. Steve, thank you very much. All good suggestions there. Next up, that time of year again. Millions of us are going to lose weight. Join the gym. All of us. Many of us make mistakes when signing up for new memberships that can prove costly. Thats why youre here, rebecca j jarvis. 30 billion spent in 2016 in membership fees. A lot of it was wasted . Billions were wasted. We make the same mistakes over and over and over again. Everybody comes out in the new year ready to lose weight. A lot of people do go. January, the second week of january is the busiest week at the gym all year round. All those people, a lot of the newcomers, they fall off by february. I have seen a statistic that 80 of the people tha what kind on of waste are you talking about . If you dont go and you pay for it, youre wasting your money. Theres fees hidden here as well. In fact, initiation and registration fees. Those are things that a lot of people night not see. They see the big number. The pretty number up front that gets you involved and gets you interested. They dont know about the initiation fees. Second of all, paying up front. Gyms will say if you pay for the whole year, well give you a better deal. If the gym closes late nor the year, because some do. Or if they move locations, youre paying for something that youre not getting what you thought you were. Finally, breaking contracts.

The blame game heating up. The singers team saying they set her up to fail. T. J. Holmes is here on the war of words. Good morning. You see me over 24r, robin, hey. Over here. You talk about war of words. How about this. Direct quote from Mariah Careys manager, she should have walked off and thrown the mike at somebodys head. End quote. Theyre fuming about this. Were getting details. Hearing two very different stories. Mariah careys new years eve drama is heating up. I cant hear, but ill just go through the motions. Reporter the Pop Icons Team and the Production Company behind the megashow point the blame at each other for the now infamously disaster performance. We didnt have a check for this song, so well just say it went to number one. All right. Just for laughs, do the lift. Oh, oh, hey, hey, hey i want a holiday, too. Can i now have one . Im trying to be a good sport here . You got me feeling yeah yeah whatever that was amazing. Reporter Dick Clark Productions calls careys teams claims of sabotage outrageous. Adding that a investigation has indicated that Dick Clark Productions had no involvement with the challenges of the production. Her ear piece wasnt working but they put her on stage any way. Telling entertainment weekly, mariah says, i hear nothing in my ears. My ears are dead. The other stage manager says, lit work right when we go live. Were missing some of this. But it is what sit. Reporter a source close to the production tells abc news, that the fivetime grammy winner did not reverse, saying she showed up for sound check but she had a stand in and that carey was given another toupt to rehearse but chose not to. Careys team says, thats not true. That she did, in fact, rehearse at 3 00 p. M. Went through vocals and her team ran through sound. All was well at rehearsal. She was prompt for rehearsal and her performance. The stakes are incredibly high. This is live television. You want that get it sound check and a proper performance to work out the kinks. Bring the faeathers on. Yes it just dont get any better. Reporter okay. Now that were hearing both sides. Hearing the stories. We can only conclude. I dont know. I mean what do you do sni heard you all talking about the idea that they did this for ratings. Her manager said they asked the team, cut the west coast feed. Cut this out. You have an option to not let the west coast see this. They kept it any way. The argument is they wanted ratings, controversy, me two days in a row talking about this on gma. If they would have cut it, they would have been called for sensoring. What do they spill that in with . Its live testimony. George, will you stop being common sense . We bring in dan abrams. If legal action were to be taken, what would it starts referring to it as defamatory, that sounds like legal language. Defamation. Grounds for a lout. If they were to sue, it would be to demonstrate that what was said about them was both false and led to damages. But i dont think theyre going to end up suing. In a case like this. I think this is Dick Clark Productions way of saying, stop. Do not say this stuff anymore about us. Be quiet. Shut up. And if you dont, then maybe were going think about maybe legal language. But, using the word defamatory is definitely a sort of covert threat. A shot across the bow, so to speak. On her side, she says her ear piece didnt work. Weve all been in live settings. She says this does happen. She says maybe this is about the ratin ratings. She could sue for negligence. They had a duet toy to make sure she h you didnt do it. Ive had damages. With it hold up . I dont think it will happen either. I love being on for this segment. I dont think there will be legal action either way. Your last words. Always fun, dan, thank you very much. And coming up on gma, a major headline about Drinking Alcohol and your heart. As after a dvt blood clot,ital i sure had a lot to think about. What about the people i care about . Including this little girl. And what if this happened again . I was given warfarin in the hospital, but wondered, was this the best treatment for me . So i asked my doctor. And he recommended eliquis. Eliquis treats dvt and pe blood clots and reduces the risk of them happening again. Yes, eliquis treats dvt and pe blood clots. Eliquis also had significantly less major bleeding than the standard treatment. Both made me turn around my thinking. Dont stop eliquis unless your doctor tells you to. Eliquis can cause serious and in rare cases fatal bleeding. Dont take eliquis if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. If you had a spinal injection while on eliquis call your doctor right away if you have tingling, numbness, or muscle weakness. While taking eliquis, you may bruise more easily. And it may take longer than usual for bleeding to stop. Seek immediate medical care for sudden signs of bleeding, like unusual bruising. Eliquis may increase your bleeding risk if you take certain medicines. Tell your doctor about all planned medical or dental procedures. Eliquis treats dvt and pe blood clots. Plus had less major bleeding. Both made eliquis the right treatment for me. Ask your doctor if switching to eliquis is right for you. They are ridiculous when they first wake up.

Its important to point out. We talk about moderate Alcohol Consumption being good for your heart. Theres though go up that says, if you dont drink, start drinking. Most drinkers, when they hear this, they think, i must be a moderate drinker, ill have more to protect my heart. What is overconsumption . Dont shoot the messenger. Its vague. When were trained to get a alcohol histor were taught to ask openended questions. Tell me about how much alcohol you consume. People say, i drink socially. One serving of alcohol, if you talk about wine is this. Five ounces. This is what most people are drinking. So if you think oh, well, i drink seven, eight, nine glasses a week. You could be doubling that. By the way seven or less is moderate for wine or alcohol. You could easily be in a high level. And its different for men and women. Sit. For men, moderate is up to two drinks. Women, its one. The same thing you see there for wine holds for beer. Those big beers are two drinks. It holds for a cocktail, more than two drinks right there.
