Hey, good morning, robin. I am standing on top of 17,000 tons of salt, part of 50,000 tons at the ready here in this city of philadelphia. By the way, new york city has nearly 300 tons of salt ready to go because its been a mild winter, they have plenty of leftovers and will need it with this storm that will come in during the overnight hours on a weekday, heaviest during the morning rush and we had a bitterly cold weekend so the road temperatures are near freezing. This snow will stick. Today theyve already pretreated the roads. Later on today theyll take sanitation trucks and convert them to plow and salt trucks and work 12hour shifts, department of transportation tells me that, you know, they havent had much of a winter so his guys are ready to go champing at the bit and enthusiasm, robin, needed if this cranks up like we think it will.

It is going to be a very difficult day to fly come tuesday if you want to try and get around the country. Now, of course, a lot of us will be driving and roads are going to be a problem from the midwest into the northeast and over the weekend as we watch a live picture from chicago. Crews here in the east coast were laying down treatment on the roads, michael, to help everybody prepare as the snow starts to move in. Its going to be a mess, michael. All right, david, thank you. Stay safe out there and, ginger, we have an idea of whats coming but when and where. There we go. This is the timing. The part Everybody Needs to pay close attention to because of the start time. Remember, its the two storms coming together. We showed you the chicago this morning. But that coastal storm, when that wraps up tonight, thats when washington, d. C. Starts to get into it. I95 corridor overnight so philadelphia to new york city between midnight and 00 a. M. , then the heaviest snow, rob mentioned it. That 8 30 in the morning. The closer you are to that rain snow line the more you could get, you could see 1 to 3inch snow totals per hour along some of these lines. Thats how it will add up quickly. Next question, when does it leave . Tomorrow night by 11 00 p. M. And even clear of boston still in vermont, New Hampshire and maine and heres what everybody wants to see, snow totals. We took the liberty of taking all the mods, seeing what we thought, new york city in the 10 to 15. 15 plus in that darker magenta area. Washington, d. C.

My flight tomorrow night for the winter games for Special Olympics is not going to happen. That doesnt look good. Hopefully on wednesday, all right, ginger, thank you. Turning now to President Trump facing new pressure to reveal evidence for those wiretapping allegations. Also facing new questions about why he chose to oust a highprofile u. S. Attorney. Our senior White House Correspondent cecilia vega has much more on all that. Good morning, cecilia. Reporter robin, good morning to you. The president is facing a number of showdowns this week. First up wiretapping. It has been nine days since he made that claim that president Obama Wiretapped him and now the calls for him to prove it are growing louder by the day. The white house has yet to offer any evidence to back up that bombshell accusation of wiretapping. Top lawmakers on the House Intelligence Committee have given the Justice Department until today to do just that. So far, many seem skeptical. From the top democrat on the panel. There are one of two possibilities, the president quite deliberately for some reason made it up or more disturbing the president really believes this. Reporter to a republican on the Senate Intelligence committee. George, i have not seen that evidence. Reporter senator john mccain callingen 0 the president to prove it. I have no reason to believe that the charge is true but i also believe that the president of the United States could clear this up in a minute. Reporter but the white house not backing down. Counselor to the president Kellyanne Conway on sunday suggesting surveillance may have been even broader than wiretapping. What i can say is there are many ways to surveil each other now unfortunately. Do you believe there was an article that talked about how you can surveil someone through their phones, through their certainly through their television sets, any number of different ways and microwaves that turn into cameras, et cetera, so we know that that is just a fact of modern life. Reporter that is far from the only controversy facing President Trump this morning. This weekend an abrupt changing of the guard at the Justice Department. The attorney general requesting resignation letters from 46 federal prosecutors, all holdovers from the obama administration. But one of the most prominent, new yorks Preet Bharara refused tweeting over the weekend, i didnt resign. Moments ago i was fired. A sharp shift from november when then president elect trump personally asked him to stay on the job. We had a good meeting. I said i would absolutely consider staying on. Reporter the white house calls it a routine housecleaning in a new administration. And another looming showdown, this one on health care. The Congressional Budget Office as early as today could release findings that show millions of people who now have health care under obamacare could lose it but, george, before these findings are even out the white house is already pushing back. Thanks, cecilia. Joined by white house counselor Kellyanne Conway. Welcome back to gma. Pretty explosive with the bergen record. Any evidence at all that the cia techniques revealed by wikileaks were used against trump tower . The president is just happy that the investigation now includes this aspect that the house select intelligence committees and the house and senate are going to have this as part of their very tattenuated russia campaign. The articles from this past week where it is revealed that one can be surveilled in any number of techniques through microwave, cameras, televisions. I wasnt talking about anything specific. Do you know whether the trump tower was wiretapped and you answered with that. Why would you make a suggestion like that without any evidence. I wasnt making a suggestion about trump tower. Thats what you were asked. About i answered him about surveilling generally. But you have no evidence that that kind of surveillance was used against trump tower. I have no evidence but thats why there is an investigation in congress. Thats particularly what investigations are for and i would note director comey asked the department of justice to make a comment. He hasnt made a comment and i noticed yesterday congressman schiff said he would ask comey about had. You say you have no evidence for these. I have no evidence for these and that answer has nothing to do with what the president said last week. Lets move on to health care. The president is promising insurance to everyone. Were what itting the cbo report and i know the white house has questions about it. You said back . January right here on gma that those who are relying on coverage will not lose it. That promise stands. Yes, it does, in fact, there are 20 Million People just last year who decided they didnt want to access obamacare, in fact, 6. 5 million of them paid a penalty and that ends under obamacare under the repeal and replace. People no longer pay the penalty, the taxes, the mandates. You had other people asking for an undue hardship waiver which i assume they were granted. Prompted they could keep their plan and doctor were told a big lie and premiums are spiraling out of control. Five states and 1,021 counties in this country where you can only access one insurance provider. Thats not a choice. And so and its actually in a downward spiral. Unsustainable and unaffordable. I think the people who receive health care through medicaid, people who receive it through employers which is many people in this country, theyll continue to have it as theyre used to it now but trying to equalize the tax treatment for the farmers and Small Business owners and mechanics who cannot pool together to Access Health insurance. You mentioned medicaid. There will be pretty big cutbacks, over 370 million in cutbacks under the president s bill in the tex ten years. Youll receive tax candidates f if youre on medicaid now. If you are on it you can expect to continue to receive your Health Insurance through medicaid and youll get tax credits that allow you to buy insurance that may be more customary for you. I dont think certain people are looking for Maternity Care of a certain age or gender, for example, so with more competition and more choices in the market which we currently just lack, you will have an opportunity to buy care that fits you. I was talking to republican senator tom cotton of arkansas yesterday on this week. Hes lobbying against this bill right now warning house members to the to walk the maplank sayi this theyll lose the house if im not thinking about the next election but the millions who dont have care and coverage and want to and need it and were expecting it through obamacare. The other thing i would note senator cotton also said that theres major carpentry work to be done so he was hopeful that something can pass and the president this entire last week, george, has been inviting people into the white house, working the phone, doing what leaders do, listening, negotiating, being a decision maker, being a deal maker and he is taking all those inputs. If people have ideas how to improve the bill he is listening to that, he and the Vice President are doing that i noted the Democratic Party comes up with no ideas. Its resist, obstruct, theyre not even coming up with anything that might be workable to try to they said theyre willing to fix obamacare if its not repealed. At least theyre admitting that it needs a major fix. How do you plug awe the shows and patchwork something thats not worked for many americans. Certainly there are people on the exchange that are happy and can continue doing that. The five principals he laid out, make sure there is a smooth transition for those already on the he can change but millions and millions of others, some of them have an insurance card and literally cant use it. Thats the worst of all possible outcomes youre told we checked the box with you, you have Health Insurance coverage but you dont have care because you cant afford the premiums and you cant afford the deductible. Kellyanne conway, thanks very much. Thanks. The white house on that Preet Bharara firing offering no explanation for the president s change of heart from november to today saying this was routine resignation of all u. S. Attorney. Nothing more than that. All right. Now to a frightening moment at the white house. A man accused of jumping a fence armed with pepper spray is due to appear in court this afternoon. The president praising the secret service but the incident is raising security questions. Abcs mary bruce is there at the white house. Has more for us. Good morning, mary. Reporter good morning, robin. The intruder said he wanted to meet the president but instead hes being held in federal custody without bail. It was just after midnight here on friday when 26yearold Jonathan Tran jumped the white house fence and approached the south portico door, not far from the first familys residence where the president was home at the time. When he was discovered, tran told officers he was a friend of the president s and he had an appointment. They discovered he was carrying a book by the president , a letter mentioning Russian Hackers and two cans of mace. Tran is now charged with illegal entry while carrying a dangerous weapon. His hearing set for later today. He could face up to ten years in prison. Robin. Mary, weve been seeing a series of these fence jumpers in recent years so what is being done to prevent this. Reporter there is a redesign here in the works. The plan in part raise the white house perimeter fence from its current eight feet up to 13 feet hoping they can once and for all put an end to fence jumpers. All right, mary, thank you.

Well, this is coming our way, right now live the snow in chicago already a dangerous commute there this morning and the northeast bracing for that blizzard, 60 Million People are on alert. Ginger and rob are covering it all for us and, ginger, you have more on the storms path. Thats exactly right. That with the coastal storm combined and this is it the map everybody wants to see from chicago to detroit, 5 to 10inch range but its really here where it wraps up with the coastal storm and see some of those 15 plus inch rates so, again, a very tight gradient on who gets rain, who gets snow but look at philadelphia right there. In that pink area, they have a 10 to 15inch snow total forecast and i know that means a lot for the roads so my teammate rob marciano is in philadelphia. Rob, less than 24 hours to go. How are they getting ready . They are ramping up for sure, ginger, the sun coming up but you can see my breath is still bitterly cold so temperatures not going to be an issue and the road temperatures certainly are cold enough for this to stick. I want to show you whats going on in chicago. Thats the first hit of this storm. The 3 to 6 inches expected there. The roads okay for now but pittsburgh, detroit, you are next and then philadelphia as we mentioned has 17,000 tons of this right now. This helps melt the snow, lower the freezing temperature of that snow but if were talking a foot or more this is going to be a hard press. The sanitation trucks once they get done with their routes will convert to salt and plow trucks and spread it across the roads and pretreated yesterday and do it again today but with the snowfall rates were about to see itll be a hopeful effort. Clearing the roads i think once the storm is done more than trying to keep them clear while its happening. You hear them backing up getting ready to go. Margarita, anyone . A lot of folks may be able to use it in a couple of days. Thanks for being there for us. To be as prepared as possible. That unrest in ferguson, missouri, its over a newly uncovered Surveillance Video that shows Michael Brown hours before he was fatally shot by a police officer. Some say it raised questions about whether he really robbed the Convenience Store on a later visit and Abcs Steve Osunsami has the story. Good morning, steve. Reporter good morning to you, george. The big question, of course, is why is this video just coming out now. And theres really no good answer for that. This new video may cast a different light this morning on the events that led to the Police Shooting death that started a movement. And overnight it had people protesting again with reports of shots fired. When Michael Brown was killed on the streets of ferguson, missouri, in 2014, this was the video police shared just days after the shooting. The shooting victim is seen with his hands around a shopkeepers neck as he makes off with a carton of cigarillos. Its going to be a black male in a white tshirt. Reporter Police Called what happened a strongarmed robbery and argued brown brought the same level of violence to his confrontation minutes later with the Ferguson Police officer who killed him. How can he shoot with his hands in the air . Reporter this new video from the same store suggests that brown had left the cigarillos at the corner store the night before and that people working there had exchanged the tobacco for drugs. Something that appears to be happening here. The filmmaker who discovered the video says it was recorded at 1 13 a. M. August 9th, nearly 11 hours before brown returned to the store. Were doing this for mike. Were not just doing it to uncover for ferguson. Reporter part of a documentary called stranger fruit that day debuted this weekend. It was an argument over getting back his things. They wanted us to think 3450ikle robbed the store because they needed us to think michael was aggressive with darren, the clerk, takes the cigarillos and hands the plastic bag over the counter to Michael Brown. Thats not stealing the store. Reporter browns uncle said police lied about his nephew. The picture they painted of my nephew was not right. That video dispels one of the lies they was telling. Reporter the store owner strongly deny this telling abc news to turn around and somehow blame folks that have nothing to do with this is shameful adding it just didnt happen. This morning, st. Louis county police tell us they cant confirm the authenticity of the video at this time. Legally this changes nothing. Police say officer Darren Wilson knew about the alleged robbery at the store but had no way of knowing brown was a suspect. Whether or not there was a misunderstanding at the store has little to do with the later argument and shooting. There is no video of the argument between brown and officer wilson and no video of the shooting. This just makes the story messier. A civil trial is expected to start next year. George. Okay, steve osunsami, thanks. Lets talk more about it with dan abrams. Also, former Dallas Police chief david brown an abc news contributor. Chief brown, let me begin with you and put the question right at the top why did it take so long to get out. Should the video have been released sooner . Yes, george, it should have been released sooner. This is not the way you communicate with your citizens in your community. It just lends itself to whether or not the department is holding back other types of evidence that may be have ago different narrative. Thats the question raised, dan abrams, but, remember, the officer who killed Michael Brown cleared by a county grand jury. Would this video have changed that. No, this is a compelling theory but lets remember, it wasnt just that a grand jury decided no the to indict. Its that the department of justice did a thorough investigation and we leased an 86page report based on the blood evidence and dna evidence and the eyewitnesses, based on the injury, all of that together they concluded supported Darren Wilsons account of what happened. Its also important to remember that many of the same supporters of Michael Brown initially said, well, whats the relevance of the first video . Meaning showing Michael Brown pushing the clerk and you know what they were right and i think that they would be right here which is the officer didnt even know he was a suspect. So what happened there while interesting and important in terms of sort of the big picture of what happened that evening isnt really relevant to what happened between Darren Wilson and Michael Brown. Do you agree with that, chief brown . Yes, but i think that one thing that were missing, transparency has everything to do with trust. People trusting that you do a thorough investigation lends itself to revealing everything you know about Michael Brown, about Darren Wilson so that the public can make their own assessment with all of the information rather than holding back some and not having explanation of why you didnt release it. A fair point. Does this impact the civil trial. Potentially could impact the civil trial because the question would be why did you release it and what chief brown is saying, its trust. If the jurors in the civil case dont trust the police, thats not helpful to their case but, again, it wont go to the fundamental question, the polices answer to this is they didnt think it was relevant to the investigation but i think chief browns absolutely right that when youre talking about trust, try and release as much as possible so no questions later. Dan abrams, chief brown, thanks very much. Coming up in just two minutes, criss angel speaking out about his brush with death just months after that other close call on stage.

Has those details. Good morning, matt. Its one heck of a way to make a living. Criss angel went unconscious in front of a packed house during one of his most dangerous stunts and had to stop the show. Paramedics removed him from the stage but overnight he said risking his life and doing the same thing the next day is just part of the job. Hes the magician known for his deathdefying stunts. This morning, criss angel is speaking out about a trick that sent him to a las vegas emergency room. What doesnt kill you makes you stronger and for me its always about pushing my envelope. Reporter the 49yearold illusionist performing a routine like this one, dangling upside down in a straitjacket friday night, something went dangerously wrong. Hes flailing his arms and his legs trying to do everything he can to wriggle free. Angel reportedly losing consciousness midair in front of a stunned audience. Once i started going up, i was told that i began my escape and thats all i remembered until i woke up and i was literally surrounded by paramedics and people putting things in my arm. Reporter and just 24 hours later, the mind freak live mastermind strapped into that straitjacket once again. Dangling in the air by his ankles to perform that very same stunt, this time successfully. Its not the first time the world famous magician has been caught this a performance gone wrong. In 2015 it was angel jumping to the rescue when fellow escape artist Spencer Horsman became trapped in a water torture cell during a rehearsal. What i saw was somebody losing the ability to be aware what was going on. Reporter this morning, angel says taking risk is all part of the act. I really take my life really at the mercy of whether or not something is going to work or not. Skeptics say fridays incident was part of the show. The illusion they say, angel insists it was not a publicity stunt and his doctors wanted him to sit out another day and that he had to sign himself out of the hospital. He says audience members were offered refunds for fridays show but he was apparently so confident he would pull it off again saturday he even had his 2yearold son in the audience. You got to really believe in yourself for that one. Yeah, thats one way of putting it. All right, matt, thanks so much. Michael. Thank you, robin.

Michael, michael, michael. Big board. Dr. Mike varshavski is here at the table for our first story. Looks like youll hit the rounds. I go to the hospital right after this. Im ready. You are our first story. Could your doctor be dangerously tire. A new rule sparking a debate allowing first year residents to work 24hour shifts in hospitals starting july 1st. And on the surface as a patient were like, oh, this is no, but, doctors actually believe that this is something a good thing, why. Sure. Accreditation counsel thats in charge of making this decision realized that through Evidence Based Research that prior to this patients were actually getting worse treatment in the hospital during the 16hour shifts. The reason for that is you have an extra eighthour shift that needs to be covered by another physician. Whenever you have that handoff of care to another doctor thats where the mistakes happen. When you have more handoffs you have more mistakes. Its not actually the hours that count. Wow. Never thought of it like that. Im tired of an eighthour day. You know what im saying. Dr. Mike, youre a third year medical resident, in summit, new jersey. Youve been through this. Youve worked 24hour shifts so how do you feel about this decision to actually make it possibly longer. Absolutely. Well, the late person may not know this but actually a 24hour shift is more favorable to residents themselves. Why is that . When you work a 16hour shift thats usually from 6 00 a. M. To 10 00 p. M. You work a couple extra hours to finish up now going into midnight. You still have to be back at 6 00 a. M. The next morning. Not so great. You work a 24hour shift the next day you have off to relax, catch up on sleep, catch up on work and that is crucial. Any downside. Sure, absolutely. I mean schlepp deprivation is key here. You want doctors to be safe. Thats why the impetus has been put on hospitals themselves to keep doctors and patients safe. If anyone notices one of the doctors to be sleep deprived making wrong decisions time to act and if they notice when theyre driving home that theres an issue, doctors can call the hospital and get a car to take them home to make sure theres no accidents. Do we need i. D. From him to make sure hes legit. Are you sure . Lets see some i. D. Here. Doing by houser is the nickname. Have to go through all those years. Look like youre still in high school, man. Thank, you dr. Mike. Next up, everybody, get those brackets ready. March madness, its finally here and last night the ncaa revealed which teams get a ticket to the big dance. And there was some big celebrations especially from the northwestern wildcats who are heading to their first tournament in School History and espns jay williams is joining us now and good morning to you, jay and, you know, jay, Julia Louisdreyfus whose son is on that Northwestern Team tweeted out were going to the dance, boys. Along with that video of her seinfeld character elaine dancing as you can see it right there. Whose hearts got broken because everybody is thought that happy. Whose hearts got broken and who is the team that is the hottest heading into the tournament . Mike, i would say the two teams are illinois state, theyre a smaller team and didnt have a chance to get as many big wins in their nonconference and syracuse headed by hall of famer jim boeheim, they got snubbed as well but the hottest story in College Basketball right now are the michigan wolverines. They had that plane crash, everybody, thank god, was okay, but this team was tied for fifth in the big ten. They go into the Big Ten Tournament and they win three games in three days, they were the highest seed to ever in the history of the Big Ten Tournament win three games and three days and they are by far the hottest team in the nation. Theres a karma behind them in the midwest region and how can you not ride with the michigan wolverines. They have everything going in their direction. I like your alma mater, duke. He likes them too. Trying to be fair like that. Last you were with us you were talking about ucla, one of your top picks. Yes, they are in there. And many feel that theyre going to go a long way. There is controversy there with the team. Yeah, you have alonzo ball one of the top players in the nation and probably go top three in the 2017 nba draft but his father lavar ball has started a branding Company Called triple bs. Big baller Brand Marketing their kids. He has three kids and committed to ucla and selling merchandise and saying the father is exploiting the kids. The father says ucl and ncaa are exploiting the kids but theyre creating a reality show thats probably going to be sold to b. E. T. This is the Kim Kardashians of College Basketball. They are the best reality show to watch right now. This is something we can argue about all day. I know. We wont even get into it but, jay, the table is set. Youre the man. Who is playing in the final four . Whats your prediction. I have duke, i have arizona, i have North Carolina and i have gonzaga and then in the finals in the championship game, i have duke versus North Carolina tobacco row rivalry. Old school. Duke has won two already and i have duke as my national championship. No bias here. Who you got, dr. Mike. I got duke. You go with jay. Whatever jay says. I will let the professionals decide in thank you both very much and the womens selection is tonight 7 00 on espn.

First to ginger for the latest on that monster storm that were getting prepared for thats already hitting parts of the country. Ginger thats right, robin. Lets start. Lake shore drive in chicago, i used to live right at the end of this and see this, look at those violent waves crashing thanks to the wind and nearly snowless in chicago until now. A good 6 inches plus with the lake effect. Winter weather advisories stretch from there through detroit and ohio and theyve taken over coastal connecticut, long island, new york city right down through coastal new jersey. Blizzard meaning you add wind so wind really strong winds up to even 70mileperhour gusts seeing in some of the forecasts so two storms coming together. That developing low along the coast timingwise it goes like this, start in d. C. Late tonight, baltimore too. And then overnight its philadelphia to new york city and right here new york city to boston, tomorrow morning the heart of the storm and you know what, miami teammate, rob marciano is all over this. He is in philadelphia this morning, rob, we got to go to you because youre doing the treating of the roads and, of course, the wind and waves. I tell you, ginger, even though the sun is up the battle is already on to try to keep these roads clear. They pretreated the roads with brine. Saw another truck come in here and theyll take the salt out and plows will be in full force and until wednesday in an effort to remove the snow once the snow stops come down. Thats a battle that can be eventually won but there are two things in weather that are nearly impossible to fight against. The wind and the water. You mentioned the blizzard watch, warnings now across the coast and were seeing forecasts for wins now that could very well be damaging along the new jersey coastline, the connecticut coastline and long island during the day tomorrow. 50 to 60mileanhour winds there easy enough to take down power lines and in boston by tomorrow night still blowing at over 65 miles an hour so that is damaging wind, also wind that will pile up the water. Coastal flooding and bigtime waves so no picnic along the coastline even though you may mix in with rain and snow. Could be a powerful storm across a huge area of highly populated cities.

Why would you make a suggestion like that without any evidence . I wasnt making a suggestion about trump tower. These are two thats what you were asked. I answered him about surveilling generally. You have no evidence that kind of surveillance was used against trump tower. I have no evidence but thats why theres an investigation in congress.

Right now we have sunshine looking at sky6 live hd. 22 degrees. The exclusive accuweather sevenday forecast, sunshine fades behind clouds, 36 is the high. The first snowflakes arrive late tonight. In philadelphia, around midnight. The heaviest snow noon to 3 00 p. M. The noreaster hits us tomorrow, 8 to 12 in philadelphia. More in the Lehigh Valley. From the bachelor finale and everybody back here is excited. Well find out who will get the final rose from nick. But we have our own nick, his name is nick watt. Hes in l. A. And he went oneonone with host Chris Harrison. Good morning, nick. Good morning, michael. Yes, it has all come down to this. Tonight theyre in finland getting cozy. Nick and his two potential brides and of course there can only be one, bizarre, brilliant, run out of words to describe this show. This is a sneak peek of tonights finale, nervous nick. Who will get his final rose and marriage . Ill just try not to be afraid. Reporter to my money, best season so far, tear, a lot of tears. Boy, can nick cry. And dont forget corinne. You go girl. Corinne is my spirit animal. Reporter heres the headline. Nick has been rejected twice already in previous bachelor cycles. Remember. Im sorry. Reporter and again. No . Oh, my god. My heart is just with somebody else. Im sorry. Reporter could it happen a third time . Will his chosen one accept his proposal . Could be a lot more nothing. Nick is a good guy but i completely understand the opposite of why people were thinking really, nick, hes your bachelor and thats part of the reason why we did it. Reporter hes unpredictable. If we can do this together we can do anything. Reporter we assume he will propose to one of his final two. Raven, fun, sweet and then hes got vanessa, who may or may not throw a vase at the wall. I think you narrowed her down perfectly. Reporter i cant wrap my head around the concept of the show. Since weve been doing this interview, you cant wrap your head around it. Hes smooching with multiple women at the same time. But what i find fascinating about the show is the capacity for people to love more than one person at a time. Reporter nick must choose between a mildly uptight canadian vanessa. I thought we were on the same page and he was falling in love with me. Im stunned vanessa made it this far. She is a brilliant woman and i think sometimes her brain just gets the best of her. Reporter and good time down home raven from arkansas. Good to see you. Shes apple pie. Hes narrowed it down to two incredible women but the insecurity of nick is that can i find happiness . He might get nothing. He might be left and be the first bachelor in the history of this entire franchise to be left at the end and believe me when i tell you he knows that. Someone will cry tonight, michael. Its really just a question of who and why. It just might be me, nick. You never know. And we do have former bachelorette Desiree Hartsock and her husband Krieg Siegfried joining us live and desiree and chris, were going to get straight to it. Who do you think nick should pick, vanessa or raven . Who do you think is going home with the final rose . Go for it. I think he has an undeniable connection with raven but i think ultimately itll come down to vanessa because he just have a deeper like canadian strong. Yeah. Canadian strong. And im curious. You two have been through this. What is it like these final hours leading up to the big decision . How nerveracking is it . You dont get much sleep and i imagine nick hasnt gotten sleep for about three years. Its definitely an emotional roller coaster and all coming to a head at like that moment and theres a lot of emotions going on so im excited to see how nick handles it and who he chooses. Wellers he was called nervous nick by nick watt in that piece. What if he doesnt find love. What do you recommend for his love life Going Forward . Bachelor in paradise, definitely bachelor in paradise. Lifelong career until he finds the one. Well i tell you what, he should take that advice and run with it. Thank you both very much. Congratulations on your baby, five months ole. Congratulations to you two. Thank you so much. Thank you very much. Stay right there, everybody. Well be right back.

Tuesday afternoon, the snow tapers off. Were expecting a good 8 to 12 inches in philadelphia. At the least 12 to 16 inches in the Lehigh Valley. In the Lehigh Valley we may bump the numbers up a little bit. You have less snow in south jersey and delaware, but you have more wind and concerns with beach erosion along the coast. Its a noreaster that impacts everybody. It starts late tonight into the overnight hours. The worst from 3 00 a. M. To noon. Coverage of the winter storm begins tomorrow on action news at 4 00 a. M.

But we have a fivesecond delay. Sometimes they think im funny but mostly no.

He becomes a harpsichord and she goings a credenza. Lets take a look. Ooh. Another cavity. Maestro, your wife is upstairs finding it harder and harder to stay awake. Shes counting on you to help us break this curse. Then i shall play through the pain. Maestro, play quietly, please. Oh, quietly. Of course. Are there any other tasteless demands you wish to make upon my artistry . No, thats it. [ applause ] i like that. How fun was that . Oh, my god. It was so much fun. We did that stuff obviously do it in the studio that wasnt really me as the harpsichord. Incredible. And but we were together all together for a week, Ewan Mcgregor and Emma Thompson all together for a week on set. I see josh gad on instagram tweeted his pictures.

Reporter thanks ginger, enjoy today while you can. It is cold, though, lots of sunshine, 23 degrees of the high 36 were dry today. The snow starts at midnight tonight in philadelphia. The heaviest from 3 00 a. M. To lunch time tomorrow, 34 degrees with the snow tomorrow. Robin, were coming up. Come on up. Bring them all in. We are here now with bestselling author and one of our favorite guests, danielle steel. Shes written 160 books. 160 and counting. Cant wait to read her latest called dangerous games and it is out now and it is great to have you back with us as always, my friend. I am so thrilled to be here. Robin is my favorite person in the world. When i was going through my Health Crisis she sent me books that werent even out yet. Usually its six books. Last time we saw you said you put out six books a year. Thats increased to seven. Seven. How do you do that . I dont know. I work all the time. Seven is interesting. Its sort of like jumping through flaming hoops but its exciting. How do you keep the characters all straight . Sometimes do you forget and put a character in only if im very, very tired. Its only happened a couple of types and suddenly there they are in the wrong book. Its like, oh, get them off titanic. I hear this one is a little different. Its like a political and international intrigue. I try and keep them all different and this one is a political thriller about corrupt politicians and International Oil deals and theres murder and also some excitement in it and it was very fun to write and there are always surprises in the book and i ended up calling my editor in the middle of the night when somebody kills somebody else and said youre never going to believe it. He just killed him. So, it surprised even me but it was a fun book and its very different. Well, theyre always a page turner and you have devoted super fans. We have a couple here that would sofia would like to ask a question. Whats your question . Other than your own what are some of your favorite books that you have read . I dont get enough time to read other peoples books. Unfortunately. [ applause ] its true. I enjoy, you know, sort of very popular fiction and things that i can just relax with and i read a lot of religious stuff which i enjoy. I love joel osteen. I love joel too. Hes fun. Very uplifting. And sometimes french novelists and stuff but most of the time i have to read me. Thats not a problem at all and, gray, you have a question as well. Yes, my question is, does your book perfect life my favorite one or any of our other books come from personal experiences . No, they sometimes come from something ive seen or not necessarily a personal experience, but i was intrigued in that book by the idea of sometimes famous lives look so perfect to the outside world and i mean youve seen that too and everybody thinks, oh, wow, but they dont realize the tragedies or the struggles that you have behind them so i like the idea of a woman with a big career who is, you know, frustrating to keep the career and who has personal challenge with a daughter who is sight impaired so it wasnt personal but its things i care about. Got you. But something that was very personal around christmastime, you started choking and your daughter saved your life. Very personal. And actually it was an interesting experience and it never happened to me before and i had a cold which i have again. But and i threw a vitamin c and went running off to do stuff and it got stuck but totally stuck, no air and it was the most panicky feeling and they say that mostly people run off and hide but instead i ran into the hallway where all my kids were home for christmas and pointed to my throat but there was absolutely no air going through. And all of them started there are grownups about 12 or 14 people and started to scream and say, oh, my god, shes choking. What do we do and nobody knew and the heimlich is a really important thing to know for a stranger or Family Member. And one of my daughters not knowing what else to do picked me up and banged me on the floor, i mean literally shes taller than i am and i was going no, no, no. But it worked. I mean she bonked me on the floor and it popped out. I put up choking signs for restaurants in our kitchen in both our homes, do you know how to do the heimlich . But it really it was a good lesson for all of us that nobody knew what to do but it worked. Were glad that it did. I am too. Im sure that you are. It really scared me. Now every time i take a vitamin i walk into someones room and say, i am taking a vitamin. So if i keel over they know why. Well, danielle, never enough time. Thank you so much. I love seeing you.
