Down the government again . The pop culture lead. Bill cosbys netflix special canceled scrapped as a supermodel adds her name to the growing list of women publicly accusing one of the nations bestloved comedians of drugging bestloved comedians of drugging and raping her. Captions by vitac www. Vitac. Com hello, everyone. Welcome to the lead. Six people dead in one of the worst snowstorms to ever hit buffalo, new york, and its suburbs, an area that knows of snow. Crews found one mans body, he was inside his car buried under snow. Three other people had heart attacks while shoveling snow and another person died in a car accident in these very dangerous conditions. To give you an idea of how much snow fell here, thats about 5,000 tons of snow. Plows are working to clear roads that are impassable right now, people are trapped inside their homes because huge mounds of snow are blocking their doors. This weather system has dropped more than six feet of snow in western new york. That is usually the total for the year. Instead, all of that snow came in just 24 hours and guess what . More is on the way. Lets bring in cnn correspondent, martin savidge. Hes in buffalo right in the thick of this. Martin, getting around there must be tricky. Absolutely, jake. They had hay bit of a respite, but as you can see, the snow has started falling again. Were outside of a fire station which explains why the streets look as good as they do, that said, theyre still getting around here, the fire officials and police on the backs of snow mobiles. It is truly a challenge that this city is facing and its only going to continue to get worse. As buffalo tries to dig out from an avalanche of snow, even more is on the way. The lakeeffect blizzard hammered southern areas of the city tuesday dropping nearly six feet. Yes, feet. I believe when all is said and done this snowfall may break all sorts of records. Reporter of the 42 square miles that make up buffalo, only ten were impacted, but theyre overwhelmed with snow the likes of which theyve never seen before. The impact was so specific to South Buffalo, even the airport just three miles away got only 6 1 2 inches. A break in the weather wednesday allowed emergency crews to start the big dig. More snow is expected wednesday night into friday which could add a couple more feet on top of what they already have. Please, do not be fooled by the beautiful sun shine. There is still tremendous amounts of snow on the ground in South Buffalo. If you dont have to drive, if you dont have to go out to work in other parts of the city, as well, stay home. Reporter driving bans are still in effect in South Buffalo where snow left many stranded on the thruway including the niagara Womens Basketball team. That team was finally rescued, but calls kept coming in from those still stranded and in many cases, rescues like this one were carried out on foot. This morning since 6 00 a. M. We had 12 new calls and those people should be okay, but officers last night were responding on foot. Reporter ems and firefighters have been depending on volunteers with snow mobiles to be in the hardesthit areas and the death toll from this brutal storm has climbed to six so far. Some from cardiac arrest shoveling and others trapped in the snow. Sadly, we have to announce, we found an individual today, 46yearold male in the town of ald alden. The car was buried under approximately 12 to 15 feet of snow and he was found deceased. One of the biggest struggles, simply clearing streets and plows arent enough. They need frontend loaders hauling the snow away using hundreds of dump trucks. Rescuers from as far away as nevada has contacted buffalo for help, and its most urgent need is for anything that can dig up and haul away the seemingly unending mountain of snow. Reporter jake, we were able to get into the hardest hit southern buffalo area. Really, you cannot wrap around how much snow there is. It has altered the landscape, even people who have spent their whole life there, do not recognize it, buried under so much white. Martin savidge, thank you so much. Stay warm, my friend. The piles are half the concern right now, believe it or not. More snow is on the way and the region will get a warm up, but that could cause flooding. Time lapse video shows you just how massive the first wave of the sorm was. Thvrs the view from downtown buffalo just yesterday. You can see the clouds moving over lake erie and now lets show you what was left behind. Jennifer gray has been climbing snow mounds all day. Jennifer, whats the story where you are . Reporter you know, jake, martin was talking about moving this snow out. These bulldozers have been pushing the snow on to the corners of streets and then putting it into big dump trucks and taking it off and when you push that snow, 40, 50, 60 inches of snow into the corner of a street, this is what you get. We are standing on top of a mound that is probably 13 feet high and you have these all over the city. The problem now is, though, its a race against time. We only have about 45 minutes of daylight left and the snow has just started to come down again in the last hour. This isnt even the main event. The lakeeffect snow will set up later tonight and it will run through friday morning. We could possibly see two to three additional feet of snow and so that is going to mean even bigger problems for the folks here in buffalo. We were talking to locals all day and they say never in their entire lives have seen this much snow in this amount of time. The lakeeffect snow in effect tonight through tomorrow morning. Take a look at this. I want to show you the stadium where the Buffalo Bills play. They are offering for volunteers to clear the stands before sunday nights game with the jets. Theyre offering to pay volunteers 10 an hour to help clear the stands. Of course, temperatures by saturday, though, will be around 60 degrees. So this will melt very, very fast and cause probably a lot of flooding concerns. 10 an hour doesnt sound like very much. Jennifer gray, live for us in buffalo. The Womens Basketball team from Niagara University is getting welldeserved rest after spending 30 hours stuck in the snow as martin mentioned earlier. They were headed back from a game when the storm hit and brought their bus to a halt. The associate head coach of the team joins us to talk about the experience. Corinne, to make matters worse your team had lost the game and everyone is ready to go home after a long day. This was supposed to be a fourhour trip. When did you first realize there was going to be a problem . Yeah. I would say right as we were about five miles away from my car in west seneca, and we slowed down to a complete stop. I was pretty sure we werent going to make it that next five miles and lo and behold, we did not. So it was a complete standstill. It was a whiteout. We really couldnt see anything around us. We could see the fedex truck in front of us and i knew at that point it was time to take a nap. So the first few hours pass, the bus is going the whole time . Yeah. The bus was idle the whole time, so it was on. We had heat. We had a working bathroom. We had outlets so we could charge our phones and really get all over social media and tell our story and get some help. And then, at some point i presume you start worrying about food and water . Right. We did. As the Leftover Pizza kind of went away and our players were saying things like i never thought i would eat veggie pizza in my life and they finished the whole box, we started to get a little concerned that there were only granola bars left and then we have some water left. We were actually making water out of snow. Thats the few times we went out bus was to get snow in cups so we would have water because we werent quite sure when we would be done with this journey and then when it started turning dark out like 5 00 p. M. Last night our staff started to get a little stressed and a little anxious. We have 15 young women who are all children and have parents that are worried about them and at that point we thought, what next . How are we going get out of here . Whether it be the bus or ourselves getting out through another responder and what not. So i think at that point at dark last night we started to get a little stressed. At what point did you know that help was on the way . That the state troopers were going to find you . Yeah. We had a couple of Police Officers early on in the daylight yesterday that had stopped by to kind of check in, and you know, make sure we were good. That was great and then at about i would say 1 00 a. M. We had started to get some phone calls from, you know, new York State Troopers and the thruway authority, so we knew at that point when the phone calls started to come in that we would probably meet up with a First Responder or state trooper soon and the First Responders came first which was amazing because they brought hawaiian punch and mountain dew and i dont know, pretzels and all different kinds of candies and chocolate, i think, was a great thing for them to bring. So seeing other humans that werent on our team was a nice feeling for us. Were you guys scared . We were i would say a bit nervous and anxious. Like i said, as it started to turn dark and the night, you know, we saw another night and we were about to see another sunrise as our players would say, we were a little nervous. Again, because what is the light at the end of the tunnel . We really didnt of course what that meant. The snow just kept on coming and it wasnt stopping. I know that traditionally there is a lot of snow in that part of the country, but have you ever seen a storm quite like this one . No. You know, it came a little bit close. I had drove a player home to cleveland a few years ago when i had started on the niagara staff and the snow was really bad at that point, but it was never to a point where i had to stop my car, but this was really the worst ive seen in that area. Im from new england so i know what a noreaster is and thats what i felt like there was. When i was home in massachusetts as a kid i couldnt get out of my house. We couldnt get out of the bus and it felt like a noreaster to me. Im glad youre okay and i know you have a team against the university of buffalo. Best of luck for that and thank you for your time and stay warm. Get out of the cold. Thank you. Id like to get back in that car quickly and back home. Thanks. Now for our politics lead, a different kind of storm. President obama today ignoring republican calls to hold off announcing he will take executive action on immigration. The republican, they have metaphors. Hes waving a red flag in front of a bull with republican mcconnell and he might get burned, says speaker john boehner. What will he now actually do .

Welcome back to the lead, im jake tapper. President obama digging in his heels over immigration despite disapproval and warnings for republicans in both the house and senate. President obama has the executive authority for overhauling the, quote, broken immigration system and hell announce the controversial changes in a prime time address to the American People tomorrow night. The actions are expected to give reprieve to as many as 3. 5 Million People in the United States illegally. The senate, of course, passed the comprehensive immigration bill last year, but House Republicans have yet to vote on that bill, and president obama says House Republicans are impeding any sort of agreement. One of those congressmen, Republican Congressmen, steve king of iowa is live at the capital. The president says washington has allowed the problem to fester for too long and does he not have a point . Congress has to do what the president tells us to do. No, he doesnt have a point and he doesnt have the Constitutional Authority to Tell Congress what to do. If you remember him give the state of the Union Address and at that point Justice Alito decided im not going to listen to this. We have our own duty and there has been an election. The president has said to us, win an election and the elections have consequences. Well, there is a majority in the house of representatives. There is a new majority coming into the senate that looks to me that the president has decided that he is going to create a controversy between the congress and the American People are going to be with us on this. They want to have a border security. They want the president to help his own oath to the constitution and protect the rule of law and i would remind the president that there are 535 of us who serve in this building that also take an old to uphold the constitution. We have an obligation to do so regardless of the consequence peps. What measures are republicans prepared to take to stop the president. Would you go so far as shutting down the government over this issue . Jake, the first thing we need to do is review the documents that identify this policy thats going to unfold tomorrow night and im confident that its going to be unconstitutional and the reason i say that is because the president would have acted by now if hed had executive way to do what he wants to do. So if we first stipulate that it will be unconstitutional and then the house can do first this, a resolution of disapproval that would stipulate the constitutional violations and the limitations of the powers of the president. We can announce that were prepared to cut off any funding that would implement or enforce his unconstitutional act presuming that stipulation is unconstitutional. That would be the first thing we can do and a resolution of disapproval and i would start with that. I want to do the minimum to put the president back into the constitutional guardrails. The second thing might be a more serious and severe act that could be an act of a censure, but this may warrant it and the third thing would be fund it and we generally have agreements to Fund Everything else and to the dollar amount and it would be the president that would potentially shut the government down and saying to america, i insist on my right to vile eight the constitution and to take Article One Authority over the United States congress. I dont think that stand, jake. The president did use his executive authority to push over some sort of Immigration Reform and republicans need to consider impeachment. I dont think i actually said the word because ive been pretty studious about avoiding that and nobody wants to go down that route. If that should happen and heres what i wont do. There are no boots there will be no boots on the ground statement. We have Constitutional Authority to do a string of things. That would be the very last option, but i would not rule it out, jake. Youve used pretty inflammatory language in the past about Illegal Immigrants. Has anyone asked you to tone down your language now that the debate is reheating . Not at all. I was describing drug smugglers in the case that you were referring to. Nobody in the leadership and nobody in the Republican Congress and no democrats have come up to me and said tone this down. This is serious, Serious Business and i want to keep us on target here and lets do the minimum and we must defend this constitution and we must defend the separation of powers. That is what we come down to. When the president potentially violates his. Congressman steve king, thank you so much. Well talk again after the president announce whaes hes suggesting doing. Two senators and the democrats think they can get something done despite the distinction in washington. Will anyone listen to them . The grand jury could make a decision in the shooting death of Michael Brown as early as friday, but it could be kept a secret for days. Well explain coming up. You know how fast you were going .
