The olympic Gold Medalists powerful message as that disgraced usa gymnastics doctor faces nearly 100 accusers in court this morning. And we do say good morning, america. Its another cold one out there. This is a live look at the roads in tennessee. Its starting to snow right now. Nashville, memphis, millions facing a messy commute this morning. Get a sense of it by looking at this map. You see so many parts of the country under storm alerts as that system moves its way east. East but some schools are even closed in the south from texas to georgia. Were going to go right to ginger whos tracking the latest. Good morning, ginger. Good morning. Its a good thing they are closed. We just got news parts of i20 westbound near shreveport closed down thanks to the snow flying and all the way to kentucky and ohio. Windchill warnings from montana to oklahoma and advisories here from Corpus Christi up to providence, rhode island. Overnight, wicked Winter Weather taking over the roads. From wisconsin to ohio, to missouri, snow sending cars sliding, semis jackknifing on the freeway leaving traffic backed up for miles. And look at this video out of kentucky. Black ice sending this car spinning before slamming into a police cruiser. In the northeast water was like 5 inches below the windowsill. Creating ice jams threatening entire towns. Water rushing downstreams spilling into nearby communities. In alabama, a state of emergency declared. And in texas, more than 660 flights delayed or canceled as fears grow that this storm could paralyze parts of the state. Our marcus moore was on the ground in dallas. This is some of the material that you would put down on the road. Crews working long hours to prevent ice from building up on bridges and overpasses. The Texas Department of transportation using nearly 200 pieces of equipment to pretreat some 10,000 miles of roads in dallas alone. But still dozens of schools closed this morning. Because we dont see a lot of this, its important that we tell drivers that, look, if you dont have to be out on the road then by all means stay home. So, if youre in College Station or houston this morning, its raining and transition to freezing rain and even new orleans in that Winter Weather advisory. The snowy parts sticks from virginia up to western virginia. Tomorrow morning is where the coastal low wraps in warm moisture and you could end up seeing 3 to 6 inches of snow in some of the coastal areas of new england. 2 to 4 closer to new york city here. Michael, it gets really cold and im talking real cold deep south. Ill talk about that in a bit. Thank you, ginger. My mom told me last night, stay in. Dont go anywhere but be safe. Good advice. We turn to that disturbing discovery in california. Two parents accused of abusing their children holding 13 of them captive in their own home. They were found after one of them escaped and got help. Our Senior National correspondent matt gutman is on the scene for us in perris, california. Good morning, matt. Reporter good morning, robin. This quint community with four cars in the driveway, the manicured lawns around here belie the horrors that police say were happening inside. They say those 13 children physically and psychologically abused perhaps for decades and when they got them out, they were so malnourished they looked like teenagers. This hid the darkest of secrets. In this exclusive video you see david and Louise Turpin handcuffed and led out of what police described as a house of horrors. Their 13 children, the youngest just 2 years old, living in dungeonlike conditions and police discovered this scene on sunday after one of the children, a 17yearold girl, grabbed a cell phone, escaped and dialed 911. Police units swarmed and inside police say they discovered the 12 remaining children shackled to their beds with chains and padlocks. Seven of the children they discovered were actually adults, ranging in age from 18 to 29. But they looked much younger, investigators say, because they were so malnourished. They were very, very pale skinned like almost like theyve never seen the sun. Reporter david turpins parents telling abc news overnight that he said he had so many children because god called on them to. David turpins parents saying the children were given strict homeschooling and according to public records, turpin was the principal of the Sand Castle Day School registered at the same address. Looking in her eyes and repeating after me, i, david. I, david. I take thee louise. I take thee louise. Reporter the couple renewing their vows at an elvis chapel with the boys and girls in identical haircuts and outfits. There were also pictures of what seemed like happy Family Vacations to disneyland but neighbors recall only seeing the children recently outside late at night rolling out sod on the lawn. Everybody was super skinny and not athletic skinny like malnourished. How old did she look . They seemed very young. Reporter both parents are under arrest for multiple counts of torture and child endangerment, theyre held on a 9 million bail each. Now, when i spoke to david turpins parents, they said they seemed like a happy family although the last time they did see the kids, they said, they did look thin. Now, they described that strict bible background in which those kids were taught to memorize large passages of the bible. Now, that 17yearold girl that we mentioned who escaped, police and neighbors told me she was so emaciated they mistook her for a 10yearold. All those kids now being evaluated at a hospital. Get the care they need. Just horrible. All right, matt. How could all those signs have gone unnoticed . Well move on to the white house and new fallout for President Trump over the vulgar and racially charged comments he made about africa and haiti in the oval office. Facing condemnation across the country and around the world, the president is doubling down with a new attack on the only democrat in the meeting. Jon karl has all the latest. Jon, all could increase the chances of a Government Shutdown friday. Reporter it sure looks grim, george, with all the namecalling and back and forth and distrust, the two sides seem to be miles apart from a deal and democrats have made it clear if they do not have protection for the d. R. E. A. M. Ers, they will not agree to extend government funding. What republicans are going to try to do now is, temporarily extend government funding and actually, george, i have talked to both democrats and republicans involved in the negotiations who believe that ultimately there will be a deal on this, in fact, its quite possible that the president s explosive comments have actually put more pressure on the republicans to make a deal. Put more pressure on republicans but it moves the democrats further away and learning more about that meeting, even the Washington Post reporting that the president after the meeting wasnt denying the comments at all. Calling his friends to see how it was playing. Reporter exactly, george. You know, i followed this in realtime, talked to people who were either briefed on the meeting or in the meeting. The white houses denials, the republican denials took days to actually happen. Theres no question that the president made explosive comments, whether or not they were precisely as first reported may be in question. Okay, well have more on this coming up. Jon, thanks very much. Its a busy day on capitol hill. The president s former chief strategist steve bannon on the hot seat answering questions in that russia investigation. In the wake, of course, of that bombshell book fire and fury. Our senior justice correspondent Pierre Thomas has more and, pierre, bannon is not the only one heading to the hill. Reporter robin, good morning. Two of President Trumps closest confidants are expected on capitol hill this week to testify about russia. Steve bannon being interviewed by the House Intelligence Committee right now, its anticipated that the new book by Michael Wolff continues to haunt the administration. Former white house chief strategist steve bannon arrived to be grilled by House Intelligence Committee investigators today behind closed doors. Obviously have a lot of questions based on his comments in the book. Reporter in Michael Wolffs book friar fire and fury now a bestseller he allegedly called don juniors meeting with russians treasonous and unpatriotic. The chance that don junior did not walk them up to his Fathers Office is zero. Whats the basis for his assertion that he met with the participants, the president s knowledge as well as his concerns over money laundering. Reporter bannon allegedly told wolff don junior would crack like an egg on national tv and wolff claims that bannon openly suggested to jared kushner, the president s soninlaw and former Campaign ChairmanPaul Manafort might have been involved in financial crimes. The white house denouncing wolffs book and the president saying in a statement that bannon had lost his mind. Bannon is expected to face hours of questions as these congressional hearings behind closed doors are often marathons. And with all this attention from the book and todays congressional appearance special counsel mueller might want to talk to him as well. Another former top Trump Campaign aide also heading to the hill. Reporter thats right. Corey lewandowski is expected before the same committee on thursday and, robin, manafort is due back in court today for a hearing to discuss his upcoming trial on allegations of money laundering. Another week of russia being front and center. Lets talk to matthew dowd and Meghan Mccain of the view. Meghan, lets begin with you. This new attack on senator durbin. It seems like whenever the white house gets a head of steam the president gets in the way. If theres one thing Trump Supporters and nonTrump Supporters can agree on, they want the president to stop tweeting. All of these wounds are selfinflicted and the fact he keeps saying things that are you know, things that i cant say on television and then trying to backtrack and sort of switch the narrative from what he said about the blank holes over the weekend is fascinating but i found it completely tone deaf given it was Martin Luther king day. The president s ability to get his allies to go along with him on these stories. Well, its an amazing situation and ill agree with meghan on all of this. This is a guy who had a victory within his grasp and then through a series of fumbles and personal fouls, hes put himself in a situation where he has to be like case keenum to throw a 61yard pass to stefon diggs to win it when it was a victory he already had. But its amazing to me the thing thats amang to me he congress to provide the checks and balances on this president who seemed to constantly go along with the crazy stuff he does. And, meghan, do you agree with what jon karl is reporting, this puts more pressure on republicans now to get a deal on immigration . Yes, 100 , but this the blank hole that i cant say on national television, i thought that was a siren song sort of signal tbae thf ose supporters. If you watch anything on cable news, everyone from Tucker Carlson to ann coulter was losing their minds at the idea of a daca deal actually being put forth and i think hes struggling with the fact that daca is immensely popular not just with republicans but with democrats as well, and its in the nations best interest in my opinion to continue on with the bill but at the same time when you run on mexicans are immigrants or rapists and cias and sort of have this siren song against the base i think that hes struginwi wthheerth weve heard in those first hours the president seemed to think it was playing okay for him before he came out with denials. Teigence committee, those comments he made about the russia investigation inflammatory in the fire and fury book. Ti is, will he stick by them under oath . Were in a fundamentally bizarre territory where donald trump fired basically three Campaign Managers, one paul manafo indictment, two Campaign Managers as i say were also fired are now going to testify on the hill related to whether or not theus ras si coordination or russian wre collusion in the midst of this. This is uncharted territory, george, that we have never seen in a president in the first year in office. M see whether bannon continues to turn in the hearings because he did with Michael Wolff. Hes completely toothless at this point. No funding from the mercers so this seems like a situation where he might turn and give us some of the information i think all of us are waiting to hear. We will be watching. Thank you both very much. Michael. Thank you, george. Now to the dangerous and deadly flu.
