In california. Emergency crews jumping in for swift water rescues. 000s bracing for mudslides and flash flooding. And a super showdown is set. The afc champions are the new england patriots. The patriots breaking a record heading back to the super bowl for the ninth time led by tom brady and his three touchdowns as the highflying falcons pummel Aaron Rodgers and the packers. The Atlanta Falcons. Nfc champions. On to super bowl li. Now aiming for their first title ever. Tom brady and matt ryan set for the ultimate quarterback clash. The countdown to super bowl li starts now. Welcome to my house we can take control now we do say good morning, america. Ooh, i like this matchup. This coming from a saints fan. Those dirty birds, the falcons and the patriots. What a matchup. Tom brady obviously making a lot of headlines with his touchdown on the field but look at this jacket. Take a look at this jacket that he was wearing on the sidelines. What is that . It keeps you nice and toasty and warm, george. You know, he looks like a marshmallow on the bench but once he takes it off he is superman. Big victory for such a young man. In football terms hes an old man. I know that. We got a lot coming up. What a weekend in washington, d. C. Take a look at the scene there saturday. Hundreds of thousands coming out for those marches, those protest marches, at the same time the White House PressBriefing Room, the site of some confrontation. The press secretary called out for going to the room and making false statements about the inauguration. Did not take questions then. He will for the first time today likely to be a confrontation and the president has a packed day ahead as well and week. Hell sign executive orders in the oval this morning, meet with House Speaker paul ryan tonight and head to philadelphia for a gop retreat on thursday and british Prime Minister theresa may will visit the white house on friday. Abcs cecilia vega at the white house. No surprise, the president also taking to twitter this morning. Reporter what a way to start the week. Why not start on twitter. Thats what he just did. He just tweeted from his account busy week planned with the heavy focus on jobs and national security. Now if he makes good on his Campaign Promises he will sign some executive orders that will begin to roll back some policies of president barack obama on everything from trade to immigration. This morning, President Trump potentially headed for a new legal battle. A liberal Watchdog Group planning to sue the president alleging he is violating the constitution by allowing his businesses like his new hotel in washington, d. C. To accept payments from foreign governments. Over the weekend the president swearing in his senior staff from omarosa to Jared Kushner but the first order of business, a fight over facts. No questions allowed during press Secretary Sean Spicers First White House briefing. Instead, he ripped into reporters for coverage of the inauguration crowd size. This was the largest audience to ever witness an inauguration, period. Both in person and around the globe. Reporter the problem is, thats not true. Theres no official crowd count but there are photos. On the left, president obama 2009 inauguration, on the right, President Trumps. The images taken at the exact same location two minutes apart. Spicer also claimed there were more d. C. Metro riders for President Trumps inauguration than president obamas but transit Officials Say there were actually more than 200,000 fewer riders friday than the 2013 swearing in. When pressed counselor to the president Kellyanne Conway said spicer offered, quote, alternative facts. He had hundreds of thousands of people here. Theres no question. I mean i was on the platform where the president was. We saw crowds as far as the eye can see. Reporter now some crowd experts telling the New York Times there may have been as many as three types more people at the womens march in washington than at trumps inauguration. It was that speech by the president himself at the cia that launched the debate. It went all the way back to the Washington Monument and we caught them in a beauty. I think theyll pay a big price. Reporter snl pouncing. If youre going live dont make it so obvious. See you have friends with lebron, not that you are lebron james. Reporter that visit by President Trump to the cia took it took place in front of the agencys Memorial Wall to Fallen Heroes and the president spent much of his time bashing the media and rehashing his election win. That did not sit well with the former cia director who through aides said it was a despicable display of selfaggrandizement. Kellyanne conway told me she thought brennan acted like a partisan political hack. Youll see a real confrontation today around 1 30. Reporter after what many say was a bizarre display by press Secretary Sean Spicer. Hell have his first on camera briefing starting today, monday, where this time he is expected to take questions, george, and you can imagine hell get a lot of them. No question about it. One of them likely to come from jon karl in the White House Briefing room right now and, jon, weve talked about this before. You covered ten president s, ten White House Press seconds. What were dealing with in that Briefing Room is unlike anything weve ever seen before. Reporter yeah, never anything remotely like that especially on the first appearance in the Briefing Room of a new White House Press secretary to come in and deliver a tongue lashing at the press and state some things that simply were not true and not take questions. I expect well see a reset here. Sean spicer is somebody who is considered, you know, a pro, somebody who has long relationships, longtime relationships with a lot of reporters here and theres a lot to talk about. President trump has a packed schedule. Hes meeting with Business Leaders, labor leaders, congressional leaders. He is signing executive orders. Were not even sure which ones today. There are a lot of unanswered questions, questions far beyond the size of the crowd at the inauguration. Youre right. There is a lot happening. Thats why we have Martha Raddatz here, as well. Two key cabinet nominees are up for votes today. Cia director and secretary of state, will they be confirmed and will that help settle things down if they are. I think youll see a confirmation of Rex Tillerson for state and mike pompeo for cia and i do think that will calm things down especially at the cia. That appearance by donald trump didnt go over well with some people. It was fine with others. I think they know he has a learning curve. Hes their number one customer. They want to please their number one customer and i think many were happy he appeared at the cia. It didnt go as planned. They thought it was a little awkward. They thought they didnt like him in front of the wall talking about the media and crowd size but i think having a cia director confirmed will calm things down. It has to and one former cia director told me, look, Going Forward, well have a reset. Going forward. First full week in office, first major lawsuit filed against the president. Dan abrams here to talk about that. This is being filed by these ethics experts this, mo. What are its chances. This particular lawsuit probably not great and the reason for that is whats called standing. Theyre suing under the emoluments clause. Not conflicts of interest. Its important to separate out from the conflict of interest laws that a lot of people talk about thats not what this is about. This is about the u. S. Constitution, basically saying in effect if trump is able to gain something from foreign leaders staying at his hotels or doing deals with his golf course, et cetera, that thats a violation of the constitution. What they really want is tax returns. Thats what theyre hoping to get is part of this process. The problem is, that in order to file a lawsuit you have to be able to show im the right person to file it. Well, its calling standing. I suffered as a result of this. And this organizations argument there is a tough one but expect to see additional lawsuits throughout this administration. The reason once it goes to discovery they want to get the tax returns perhaps to find out if there are other sources of foreign funding into the president s businesses. Exactly. To determine this question on the emoluments clause and so even if this lawsuit doesnt move forward, theyre going to be other ones. This hell be a hotel person who works next door to trumps hotel an something where tell say we do have standing and as a result we should be able to sue. Kellyanne made it clear they do not theyre not going do it. This may be a way to see those. Back to saturday, jon karl, and getting the white houses reaction to what we saw not only in this country but around the world. The massive amount of people, men and women, who came out for the womens march. What has been the white house reaction . Reporter well, a tremendous event and as you mentioned a global event and also cities all across the united states. The white house reaction, you can really see two different sides of it in as you can imagine two tweets from donald trump. First, yesterday morning he said, watched protests yesterday but was under the impression that we just had an election. Why didnt niece people vote . Celebs hurt cause badly but then somewhat of an olive branch a couple of hours later from donald trump when he tweeted, peaceful protests are the hallmark of our democracy. Even if i dont always agree i recognize the right of people to express their views. Robin, i get the sense that the white house knows that they need to reach out to those that did not support donald trump but youre going to see a little bit of yin and yang. A real pattern with the president s tweets. Two very distinct kinds of tweets. Some that seem to be a little more personal and visceral, some to be more strategic. And a little time to think about it and come back with a second one. All right, thank you all. To michael. Thank you, robin. Now to dangerous storms stretching across the southeast, dozens of tornadoes, heavy rain and hail leaving a path of destruction and gio benitez is in hard hit albany, georgia, with the latest on that. Good morning, gio. Reporter michael, good morning to you. Truly devastating here. I want to show you this. This is a gas station and thats a gas pump completely ripped out of the ground mangled metal just hanging there. I want you to walk with me to what was the Convenience Store here in albany. We can tell you that at least four people were killed just in this area alone. Crews are out there right now searching for survivors. Take a look. You can see the twisted metal here. The destruction in this area simply surreal. Dude, i think thats a tornado. Reporter overnight thousands taking cover as this deadly tornado barreled through south georgia at 70 Miles Per Hour. I got to move. Yeah, get us out of here. Reporter the storm slicing everything in its path from trees to brick walls, take a look at this Mobile Home Park in adel, georgia, flattened to the ground. Residents say all this damage happened in a matter of minutes. We covered each other and we just laid there and we prayed. Lord, please let it pass over, let it pass over. Reporter at least 16 People Killed over the weekend. More than 40 injured. Jenny bullard injured her arm but she says shes lucky to be alive. The whole fall fell in on me. I crawled out from under it and then our back door came by and hit me and knocked me down this. Reporter this morning search and rescue operations still under way. It looks like a nuclear bomb went off. Reporter georgias governor declaring a state of emergency in seven counties. We do have crews out there clearing the roadways, but the neighborhoods are damaged so severely that its going to take a while. Reporter the storm system also striking mississippi over the weekend. In this drone video of hattiesburg, you can see the path of destruction residents now have to clean up. And back out here live in albany, i want to show you our other camera. That is a live look at a massive tractor trailer just a block from here completely on its side. It just shows you how strong this was and i got to tell you i met with a resident yesterday who said his whole family survived but he opened up his door and looked outside and he saw his entire neighborhood just gone. Robin. Those images hurt your heart. Were thinking about everyone in the storms path. A major storm moving into the northeast bringing wind, rain and snow and rob marciano is on the jersey shore with much more on that. Good morning, rob. Good morning, robin. This is the same storm that brought tornadoes to the south and east and ear the winds and waves are picking up. Low tide now but when the tide comes in later and the front comes in there will be coastal flooding. Manmade dwellings, see if they hold and some new Jersey Schools have been closed. Hurricane storm force warnings or Wind Warnings are off shore to 60 miles an hour here on the beach and i95, new york, long island, eastern new england tonight and tomorrow will feel the bankrupt of this storm.

Its now set, new england patriots, Atlanta Falcons in houston for the super bowl, jesse palmer has all the details for us, good morning, jesse. Thats right, the patriots not only sealed the super bowl trip last night but broke a record doing so becoming the First Organization to head there nine times but will face stiff competition from a falcons quarterback who wants his first super bowl win. Tom brady and Bill Belichick have done it again heading to their seventh super bowl, a new record for a quarterback and a coach. Back to 19. Reporter brady putting on a passing clinic throwing for 384 yards including three touchdowns. Back to him again. The fleaflicker. Brady to the end zone.

This is a picture of he and his wife cheering on their son benjamin who is at his hockey game.
