Speaking of painful to people who are apoplectic about whether beyonce lip synced talk to me after you got on the stage in front of the president of the United States and hundreds of thousands to sing the National Anthem in 40degree weather. That bomb is bursting in air on the ridiculist. Thanks for watching. Early start begins now. Americans are shivering. Deadly cold affecting millions this morning. Windchills dipping into the negative double digits. Mega brr. In just a few hours, Hillary Clintons long a wrwaited testiy on the attack that killed one of her ambassadors. The bombs bursting in air anthem gate. Was beyonces rendition prerecorded . Good morning and welcome to early start. Start. We are completely live this morning. It is wednesday, january 23rd, 5 00 a. M. In the east. Up first, bitter blistering freezing and deadly. Reporter s reports of at least four deaths in an arctic blast and the cold will not loosen its grip for a while. Jennifer is following the severe cold from atlanta. I know youre probably wondering when are we going to start to see some warmer temperatures. We are still dealing with the bitter cold out there and this is still going to be dangerous. Look at some of the windchills that have been reported over the last six hours. Minus 20 in oakland, pennsylvania. Look at the numbers for parts of the midwest. We have 7 degrees in minneapolis, certainly an improvement over the last couple days. But keep in mind we are still talking about wind out there and it that wind is whats providing that deadly windchill. We talked about this over the last couple days. Say if youre outside for roughly about ten minutes and minus 30 windchill, you could suffer frostbite. If you look across parts of the northeast, all that cold air has been spread over toward areas like pennsylvania as well as new york where we have a reading of 6 degrees right now in altoona, scranton, and you add in the wind, it feels like minus 6. For new york, i imagine going out to work this morning, it was mighty cold out there. My in us 1 feels like there. And for areas like portland, minus 14. So what is going to happen today . We still have this windchill advisory in place for parts of the upper midwest, the northern plain, we could still see the windchills dropping down to about minus 25. As we spread into areas like cleveland, up to buffalo, especially areas that are dealing with the lakeeffect snow, its going to feel like minus 10 to minus 120. So what this means is you really want to make sure you are putting on a lot of layers outside if you work out doors, maybe you can try to see if you can go to work maybe next week sometimes. Because you really need to avoid these conditions. Well talk more about the lake effect though coming up in about 20 minutes. Those numbers are eye popping. And from personal experience, it was really, really cold this morning. I know it was. A 22yearold man facing Assault Charges following tuesdays shooting on the campus of Lone Star College in houston. Three people were wounded, including a campus Maintenance Worker. Another person on the scene was treated for what appeared to be a heart attack. Students describe a scene of utter chaos on campus. Some people hiding under desks, others just simply ran for their lives. Even lavin dare rendera is liven houston. What happened and why . Reporter well, overnight, we have learned from authorities here in houston that they have charged 22yearold Carlton Berry with aggravated assault and hes still being treated for wounds that he suffered in the hospital, as well. Its not clear if other chances will be filed, but thats the latest that the authorities have released. As apparently mr. Berry and another man got into an altercation, an argument that according to witnesses just started escalating when the shots were fired. Multiple shots were fired that wounded the second person as well as that Maintenance Worker who was just standing nearby and was wounded in the leg. He is also being treated in the hospital, as well. So chaotic situation you can imagine for these students who were just going about their business on this campus. The the echos of all the different types of news stories that weve heard across the country frightened them tremendously as the shots were ringing out. One person charged. All of a sudden i heard backfiring and people started running in the hallways. Reporter were near the airport here in houston, so that was an airplane flying over as we were begin to go talk. But one of the witnesses talking yesterday said that it was bizarre how everything escalated so quickly and from the aller indications and some witnesses standing just a few feet away, they were trying to figure out how it could have escalated to something so serious when it didnt seem like it needed to get there. So thats one of the things that investigators will be looking at, as well. Lets talk about gun laws because i know theyre considering gun laws in texas that would allow swron to carry a concealed weapon on a campus. They cant do that now, right . Reporter its interesting. The texas legislators have gone through this debate several times. Many years ago they passed a conceal handgun law where you can hear a handgun and thats what was used in this incident. But there are places where even despite having that license you you cant carry a handgun. Churches and School Campuses are one of those. Ironically enough, there are lawmakers in austin that want to change that aspect of the concealed handgun law here in texas and allow students to carry guns on to campus. So well see how this plays out in that debate, as well. All right. Ed lavendera, thanks so much.

You gotta taste this soup. Did beyonce fake it at the inauguration . Conflicting reports still this morning. Lets give one more listen. And the rockets red glare the bombs bursting in air gave proof through the night marine corps band stirred up t controversy. Released this note, regarding her performance, no one in the marine band is in position to assess whether it was live or prerecorded. Still waiting for comment from beyonce. We did hear from reps for Kelly Clarkson and james taylor, they both confirmed those two artists did sing live. Lets bring in john murray. Do you think she was singing . Im more surprised that Kelly Clarkson and james taylor actually sang live. Its an epic historic event. Artists who air on the side of being perfect and caution in situations like this, you know, they want to give the best showing. People will be playing these tapes for years and years to on come. Most artists do prerecord vocals and she released photos of her prerecording. But most do just in case the elements prevent you from being at your best so im not surprised that she did lip sync if she confirms that she had. The marine band offering conflicting accounts. Earlier they said she lip siyn synced. They said it was determined that a Live Performance was ill advised. Each piece of music scheduled for performance in the inauguration is prerecorded for use in case of freezing temperatures, equipment failure, et cetera. You say its pretty standard. And then she pulled out her earpiece which suggests some sort of feedback. Some are saying was she singing to her own voice. We just dont know. It could have been her lips wouldnt have synced up. But shes in great company. Theyve all lip synced at major events and we know they all can deliver live. This is someone who clearly has i mean, her pipes are excellent. Anyone who has seen her life knows she can do the whole thing. Which is why i think some are saying it was just one song in front of the president. It wasnt 10 degrees out. It was 30 degrees. Why not just sing it. You know what nerves can do, but this is a singer who can sing live. Were not talking Britney Spears or paula abdul. She sings live for a living. We know beyonce can do that. So i give her a pass. And shes been critical of singers who lip siync on shows because there you should sing live. The conflicting reports make the story still live.

So his comments were a little surprising this morning. I would call that vintage jamie dimon, too. Okay. Lets ask
