>> reporter: it was taking immediate action to address the technology disruption, adding it was working to process travelers as quickly as possible while maintaining the highest levels of security. >> they told us to just be patient and get back in line. >> reporter: this morning, many questioning what caused the outage creating a nightmare for frustrated travelers coast to coast. and back out here live at jfk, we should tell you that at this point, customs believe this is was just a technical problem, not a malicious take, george. >> thank goodness. meantime, how did they -- you said they maintained security. how did they make sure the people on the no-fly list didn't get in? >> reporter: no doubt, a concern, george. customs says the national security database, that part of it, was

winds and rising floodwaters created havoc on the roads. emergency workers racing to the scene after this massive tree fell on a home, hitting two cars and blocking streets. winds in mississippi overturned tractors and knocked through houses. in florida, a 70-year-old man was killed by fast-moving flood wather. more than 11 inches of rain fell in crestview. one of many communities where rising rivers and overworked drainage systems made road ways impassabl impassable. the national weather service has yet to come out and survey some of this damage to confirm whether or not it was, indeed, a tornado. either way, the kleinup begins. >> thank you. we go ginger with more on the storms and where they're moving this morning. >> throughout the early morning hours, we were seeing tornado warnings popping up. the strong storms through florida, into georgia, north carolina, south carolina. even virginia this morning. that's where the action is later morning, early afternoon.

iraq and syria we can expect more attacks like this here in turkey and beyond. we have the latest on the trump transition. 17 days until the inauguration. and the president-elect is back to business and back on twitter. we're going hear from his senior adviser, kellyanne conway in a moment. first, cecilia vega is at trump tower here in new york. good morning. >> reporter: robin, good morning to you. a new year, a new tweet storm. donald trump may be just days away from his swearing in. on twitter, he's looking backward to november. and that big win. taking another victory lap. fresh off his new year's eve bash in mar-a-lago -- >> all i can tell you is we'll 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 won't happen. and a jab at chicago's mayor on the murder rate. if major can't do it, he must ask for federal help. trump writing it used the worst cover photo of me on a new book. 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 don't know. and so they cannot be sure of this situation. >> like what? what do you know that other people don't know? >> you'll find out on tuesday or wednesday. >> reporter: he's still doubting evidence from 17 u.s. intelligence agencies that say they have concrete proof of russia's involvement. >> i want them to be sure. i think it's unfir if they don't 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. let's 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 office and their own control. saying it on will create a fairer process. democrats are outraged. it's a sour note to kick off the first day of the new republican-led congress. >> a packed schedule. including getting the trump cabinet nominees confirmed. >> reporter: democrats are ready to go to battle over the confirmation hearings. they're targeting eight of donald trump's picks. they want more personal financial records released. if they don't, get ready for a long, drawn-out fight on capitol hill. george? >> thank you, mar ay. let's 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 haven't discussed this with the president-elect directly. but, let's make clear that you're going to have an office of complaint review. >> but it's under oversight of the republican majority. it's not independent. >> the full house will vote on it today. the democrats will have their say. there's an ambitious agenda to push forward. the republicans have not given the -- they've won over 1,000 state legislative seats under president obama's watch. there's a mandate there for them to make significant change. >> but is this the way to start gutting the independent ethics office? >> gutting it doesn't mean there won't be a mechanism. i don't want the viewers to think there's no way for complaints to be reviewed. there's been an overzealousness in the situation over the years. we don't 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 doesn't mean anything. we still have a president for the next 17 days. at the same time, president trump will be tough on those developing nuclear capability. it's 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 he'll do? >> he's not stated that publicly. he won't before he's 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. he's putting north korea on notice through this tweet and other statements that this won't 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 surprise by those comments by mr. trump over the weekend, saying he knows things that other people don't know about the russian hacking. what was he referring to? >> presidents and president-elects have to know things you and i don't know. e sure hope they do. he's privy to intelligence briefings of all sorts. today, he's -- >> 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. he's not referring to that. he's said he's 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 he's doing that is he wants the information. >> he's saying he already knew something on saturday that we don't know. >> well, he does know things we don't know. we see a lot of blind quotes. unsourced information. 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. you're 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 can't deny it. everyone makes a statement about the russian hacking today are saying, ah-ha, that's why hillary clinton lost. it was embarrassing to have the content of the e-mails revealed to the country. they don't like that people were questioning hillary clinton's 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. it's 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. they'll decide whether or not he gets the death penalty. a dramatic crash in california. an suv stalled on this freeway with no lights on. you see what happened. it was hit at full speed. a news photographer was there, ran to pull the driver out of the burning vehicle. dragging him away to safety. neither man, thankfully, was seriously injured. and in hawaii, officials at the volcano national park hope to have a new viewing area opening today. the previous viewing area was abandoned over the weekend because this massive section of lava crumbled into the ocean. some visitors were removed with just moments to spare. in sports, oklahoma beat auburn in the sugar bowl. but the game everyone is talk about is the rose bowl. usc scored 17 unanswered points, including the game-winning field goal to beat, sorry, lara, penn state, 52-49. >> did you see lara earlier this morning. she was just like -- >> it was a tough night for lara. >> it was quite a game. >> we'll be kind in "pop news." how about a little love on the tennis court. a judge hit. the ball that struck her was going at 126 miles an hour. jack sock rubbing her head. giving her a little kiss. she's okay. she staid on the court. after all, it was his fault. it ended with love. is it too early for puns? should i save that for 8:00? maybe. >> you have the audience. >> they loved it. >> we do, too. >> you were laughing on the inside. ginger, no laughing matter out west with the snow and cold. >> not at all. this is bay area snow. two

>> first of all, these companies that do the global reservations need to tighten security protocols. it's 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 boarding pass with you off the 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. that's why you're 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 that sign you had in january are gone by february. >> what kind on of waste are you talking about?
