or more inches in central park.
|
| 00:00:02 | Just to give you a quick update
as well.
|
| 00:00:06 | Airports call ahead if you're
flying out of any of them today,
LaGUARDIA, KENNEDY OR NEWARK.
|
| 00:00:12 | Both newark and kennedy plan to
reopen this morning.
|
| 00:00:15 | So I could call if you're
planning on traveling in and out
of new york today.
|
| 00:00:19 | , for
you folks working for any
federal agencies there today,
you need to know that those will
be open but under a two-hour
delayed arrival this morning.
|
| 00:00:28 | People will have the option for
unscheduled leave or unscheduled
telework today.
|
| 00:00:33 | So that san option.
|
| 00:00:34 | Sounds like a pretty good one.
|
| 00:00:35 | Again, a two-hour delay.
|
| 00:00:37 | And also we have about 400,000
households without power in that
area as well.
|
| 00:00:44 | >> So let's get you updated,
snow emergencies along the east
coast this morning.
|
| 00:00:50 | Here's a look at the weather map
right now.
|
| 00:00:53 | It is coming down in some areas
they're expecting over a foot of
snow in new york and boston.
|
| 00:01:00 | Since december 15th it ha
snowed eight times in the
new york city area.
|
| 00:01:05 | The city has seen 36 inches so
far.
|
| 00:01:09 | Which is 15 inches which i
believe rob said they're
breaking january records for
snow totals.
|
| 00:01:14 | >> And if you folks are
traveling, having a loved one
today, keep a close eye.
|
| 00:01:24 | Check the faa went site.
|
| 00:01:25 | The times are moving around.
|
| 00:01:27 | NEWARK, LaGUARDIA, JFK, THEY'RE
All going to have delays.
|
| 00:01:30 | Some of them closed right now.
|
| 00:01:32 | Again, they're scheduled to
reopen for the most part this
morning.
|
| 00:01:35 | Jfk and newark at least.
|
| 00:01:37 | LaGUARDIA IS REPORTING THAT THEY
Are open and dealing with
15-minute delays.
|
| 00:01:41 | Don't know how true that is.
|
| 00:01:43 | But we know there are at least a
thousand flights canceled so
far.
|
| 00:01:49 | You really need to check online
with anything having to do with
travel in and out of the
northeast.
|
| 00:01:54 | >> All of the snow crushing the
snow removal budgets on the east
coast as well.
|
| 00:01:58 | Here in new york city, they've
spent the entire thing already.
|
| 00:02:01 | We're talking about just the end
of january.
|
| 00:02:03 | $38 Million.
|
| 00:02:04 | That's how much it costs.
|
| 00:02:06 | I believe mayor bloomberg was
talking about using more than
200,000 pounds of rock salt
already and counting.
|
| 00:02:12 | Just north in boston, they've
already reportedly burned
through 66% of their $16 million
snow removal budget.
|
| 00:02:19 | >>> I want to turn to
right now, the
new house speaker john boehner
says he wants to change things.
|
| 00:02:25 | He wants to change the way
congress is run.
|
| 00:02:29 | He's revealing some of his plans
to our kathleen parker, take a
listen.
|
| 00:02:35 | >> You have an idea what the
house needs to be.
|
| 00:02:37 | I know you wanted to restore
honor to the house as you see
it.
|
| 00:02:41 | Tell us about that.
|
| 00:02:42 | >> Well, the congress is broken.
|
| 00:02:44 | And I think most americans
realize that congress is broken.
|
| 00:02:47 | We need to open up the house.
|
| 00:02:48 | We need to let all members from
both parties participate in the
debate, offer their ideas,
represent their constituents and
let the house work its will.
|
| 00:02:59 | The house should not be coerced
to produce legislation that fits
my needs or to fit anyone else's
needs.
|
| 00:03:10 | And I do believe that if we open
up the house it will drive more
power back to the committees
where members are going to have
to begin to work together again.
|
| 00:03:18 | And I think the result of this
is we'll have better
legislation.
|
| 00:03:22 | We'll have more bipartisan
legislation, and we will begin
to melt the scar tissue that is
built up between the two
political parties.
|
| 00:03:29 | >> Well, congressman dennis
kucinich of ohio is, meantime,
suing a congressional cafeteria.
|
| 00:03:37 | The ohio congressman said he
bought a sandwich three years
ago, while eating it bit into a
an olive pit.
|
| 00:03:45 | He's suing three companies for
$145,000.
|
| 00:03:48 | According to the lawsuit,
kucinich sustained multiple
injuries requiring multiple
surgical and dental procedures
and has sustained other damage
as well, including pain,
suffering and loss of enjoyment.
|

|
| 00:04:09 | It's grainy there.
|
| 00:04:12 | Can you clearly see people.
|
| 00:04:14 | What exactly are they doing?
|
| 00:04:20 | They're using a catapult to
shoot marijuana across the

were seized and the suspect, i
do believe, were taken into
custody.

their way around the crackdowns.
|
| 00:04:43 | >>> Well, she drew national
attention flying around the dome
of the library of congress'
reading room.
|
| 00:04:51 | There she is.
|
| 00:04:52 | The hawk apparently got into an
air vent and couldn't get out.
|
| 00:04:55 | Now the hawk has been grounded.
|
| 00:04:57 | She was safely captured
yesterday.
|
| 00:04:59 | They used a pair olings as
bait.
|
| 00:05:04 | The hawk was taken to a
rehabilitation center in
virginia.
|
| 00:05:08 | >>> And take a look at this
creature as well.
|
| 00:05:11 | What do you think that is?
|
| 00:05:12 | At first sight, you may think
you're looking at an alligator.
|
| 00:05:17 | It is a lizard.
|
| 00:05:18 | Something called a monitor
lizard.
|
| 00:05:20 | It was captured in riverside,
california.
|
| 00:05:24 | But this sucker is five feet
long.
|
| 00:05:26 | It was found just walking
around.
|
| 00:05:28 | Animal control did get this
thing.
|

somebody's pet.
|
| 00:05:33 | We'll see if someone shows up to
claim it.

minutes past the hour.
|

at least 1,000 people have been
arrested this week in
anti-government protests are
demanding an end to the
president, his 30-year reign
there.
|
| 00:09:25 | >> Cnn's zain verjee has details
on that and other international
stories this morning, live in
london, hi there, zain.
|
| 00:09:33 | >> Hey, guys.
|
| 00:09:34 | >>> You know, we have not seen
this kind of public rage in
egypt in 30 years that president
hosni mubarak has been ruling
the place.
|
| 00:09:44 | The situation there is very
tense.
|
| 00:09:46 | People are bracing for a third
day of protests.
|
| 00:09:49 | Now, police have cracked down
pretty hard on protesters out on
the street.
|
| 00:09:54 | Four people have died.
|
| 00:09:56 | Protesters are coming back, not
backing down.
|
| 00:09:59 | They basically want president
mubarak to go.
|
| 00:10:02 | They're mad about things like
unemployment, lack of freedoms
that they say they don't have,
increase in the cost of living
in the country and corruption
there.
|
| 00:10:10 | Analysts that I've spoken to
today say what we've got to do
is wait and see what happens in
the next 48 hours, whether these
protests are going to spread.
|
| 00:10:19 | , kiran, friday and
saturday is the weekend in the
arab world.
|
| 00:10:22 | Let's see what happens.
|
| 00:10:24 | It could get ugly.
|
| 00:10:26 | >> Zain, are they really
attributing what is happening in
egypt right now to what is
happening in nearby tunisia?
|
| 00:10:33 | >> Yes, in part, they are.
|
| 00:10:35 | They think that what happened in
tunisia has really spurred
people on and this situation has
moved far swifter than anyone
ever thought that would be the
case.
|
| 00:10:43 | But you know what, the issues
are the same.
|
| 00:10:46 | People have been frustrated with
presubarak's rule.
|
| 00:10:56 | About 40% live below the poverty
line.
|
| 00:10:57 | When you look at the pictures of
the people on the streets, it's
important that you can see, it's
a secular group there.
|
| 00:11:04 | You've got muslims.
|
| 00:11:05 | You've got christians.
|
| 00:11:07 | You've got rich people.
|
| 00:11:09 | You've got business people,
you've got factory workers.
|
| 00:11:12 | So it's galvanized so many
people.
|
| 00:11:15 | And they're using social media
to get out on the streets, faik
and twitter.
|
| 00:11:20 | To twitter has been saying
they've been totally blocked and
facebook has limited access.
|
| 00:11:25 | The government is denying it but
that's playing a key role.
|
| 00:11:30 | >> That's a tough thing for the
united states, egypt considered
an ally, but the white house is
sort of walking a fine line
because they can't ignore the
will of the people as well.
|
| 00:11:40 | What's going on with that, in
terms of diplomatically?
|
| 00:11:44 | >> You know, on the one hands
is supporting the
freedom in the arab world, but
on the other world, it's been a
long ally of the united states,
egypt has been a friend of
israel, being the first arab
country to recognize the jewish
state.
|
| 00:12:00 | So I think they're looking on
with this situation with nerves.
|
| 00:12:05 | The secretary of state hillary
clinton has said that there
should be reforms that support
the legitimate needs and
requirements of the people.

that was interesting at the
state department yesterday, the
spokesman was asked, do you
support hosni mubarak?
|

our ally, egypt.

this but not a tremendous
amount-temperatures are not
drastically colder, but cold
enough to keep the temperatures
where it is.

event.
|

|
| 00:34:46 | >> Reporter: Yeah, I'm telling
you what, we're in boston's back
bay where the snow has really
begun to taper off a bit.
|
| 00:34:54 | What you're seeing for the time
being is the wind.
|
| 00:34:56 | The wind's actually moving
through the high buildings.
|
| 00:34:59 | It accelerates a little bit.
|
| 00:35:00 | So when it getshere about 40
miles per hour.
|
| 00:35:04 | So visibility for drivers could
be kind of poor to sate least.
|
| 00:35:07 | The bottom line is if you don't
need to get out on the roadways,
by all means don't.
|
| 00:35:13 | In terms of travel, things are
tough not only for the runways
but the airports.

| 00:36:25 | It is unbelievable.
|
| 00:36:26 | Do you have any look ahead in
terms of february?
|
| 00:36:29 | Is this supposed to be tapering
off or are we looking at round
after round?

april's a long way away, isn't
it.
|

for opening day, when the sox
take over at fenway park.
|

see a few more snowfalls.
|
| 00:36:47 | No question about it.
|
| 00:36:48 | But I'm telling you it seems
like a long winter.
|
| 00:36:51 | The rest of february to go
through, march and april.

think outside of bun.
|
| 00:39:21 | But this morning, many people
wondering what's inside of the
tacos.
|
| 00:39:24 | We're talking about this lawsuit
filed by a consumer group that
claims that, quote, beef is
actually a meat mixture that
doesn't even have 50% meat.
|
| 00:39:35 | Our stephanie elam is "minding
your business" this morning.
|
| 00:39:39 | >> A meat mixture does not at
all sound good.

haven't had the beef since high
school.
|
| 00:39:48 | Junior high, probably.
|
| 00:39:49 | But, this is a big deal for a
lot of people, this whole story
here about what's going on with
taco bell.
|
| 00:39:55 | It reminds me of an older
"
because that's at the heart of
this conversation here.
|
| 00:40:03 | What this consumer is claiming a
woman in california who started
this class action suit.
|
| 00:40:07 | She's saying that there is just
not enough beef.
|
| 00:40:09 | Take a look at this graph here.
|
| 00:40:11 | They're saying, their claim is
taco bell's beef is 65% of
fiber, additives, flavors and
coloring and only 35% beef.
|
| 00:40:19 | Now, to taco bell's point,
they're saying that this lawsuit
is completely bogus, that that
is not the case.
|
| 00:40:25 | And they say, hey, our beef is
88% beef.
|
| 00:40:29 | Does that make you feel better?
|
| 00:40:31 | What the heck is 88%?
|
| 00:40:34 | Well, they're saying that the
reason for this difference is
because there's also seasonings
and spices and water and all the
other ingredients that you put
in there like your mama's
meatloaf.
|
| 00:40:46 | Here's the statement they put
out saying they basically cook
with a proprietary recipe to
give our beef with texture just
like you cook at home.
|
| 00:40:59 | The reason this claim came up,
too, because if you look at the
packages that the meat arrives
in, it does say taco meat
filling on the packaging.
|
| 00:41:09 | >> Meat filling.
|
| 00:41:10 | >> That's with they're saying
this isn't real.
|
| 00:41:14 | But they're saying they have
spices in there.
|
| 00:41:17 | >> Yeah, but it's to fill the
taco.
|
| 00:41:19 | It's the taco filling.
|
| 00:41:22 | >> That's what they're saying.
|
| 00:41:24 | >> I did love t-bell growing up.

details in now, t.j.
|
| 00:43:45 | What we know, this happened at a
hotel called the post hotel
morisani.
|
| 00:43:52 | It's one of the bigger hotels, a
hotel where a lot of people from
davos stay.
|
| 00:43:58 | It's also the base for the swiss
government during this forum as
well.
|
| 00:44:03 | It's about half a mile from the
conference center specifically.
|
| 00:44:05 | And what we now know, near the
back entrance of the hotel there
was an explosion.
|
| 00:44:09 | It was described as a small
detonation.
|
| 00:44:13 | It blew out one of the windows.
|
| 00:44:15 | There was no confirmed injury as
a result of this.
|
| 00:44:18 | For some time, it was unclear
whether this was either a
criminal activity or not.
|
| 00:44:22 | , that
there was in fact an e-mail sent
by an organization that is an
anti-world economic forum
organization, sent an e-mail to
the folks around the hotel,
threatening some sort of attack
on the hotel.
|
| 00:44:35 | That e-mail came in before this
explosion.
|
| 00:44:37 | So that's what we're sort of
gathering now.
|
| 00:44:39 | I will tell you as well, that
this particular hotel is home to
lots of different events,
including a party.
|
| 00:44:46 | A reception tonight, by the
coca-cola company with special
guest, bill clinton, the former
president.
|
| 00:44:53 | That was expected to happen
tonight.
|
| 00:44:54 | We don't know if that's still
going to occur or not.
|
| 00:44:57 | I thinthough details are still
being worked out.
|
| 00:44:59 | Again, a small explosion.
|
| 00:45:01 | Major hotel for a lot of forum
attendees here, t.j.
|
| 00:45:04 | A lot of the people trying to
figure out exactly what's going
on.
|
| 00:45:08 | >> Sanjay, you just mentioned
the former president bill
clinton there.
|
| 00:45:12 | Give us an idea how many people
actually attend the conference
and just what kind of names you
do have running around there,
THE KIND OF VIPs?
|
| 00:45:19 | >> Yeah, let me give you a
little context.
|
| 00:45:22 | You have about 2,500 people
overall.
|
| 00:45:25 | But they're a veritable who's
who in the financial world, the
golf world prp you have more
than 30 heads of state,
including former president
clinton, david cameron, the
russian president was here
yesterday.
|
| 00:45:39 | And it sort of is meant for an
opportunity for a private
collaboration that's not
official, not formal.
|
| 00:45:48 | But gathers a lot of people.
|
| 00:45:50 | , i
should tell you it's a small
remote town.
|
| 00:45:55 | It's only one road in, one road
out.
|
| 00:45:59 | 13,000 People actually live
here.
|
| 00:46:00 | But 2,500 come and attend the
conference.
|
| 00:46:03 | I was literally walking down the
street when I heard police
starting to whisper about the
hotel and started to get details
as a result of that.
|
| 00:46:11 | So it's a small community.
|
| 00:46:12 | Again, when something like this
happens, you can see a buzz of
activity surrounding something
like this.
|
| 00:46:17 | >> Sanjay, we appreciate you
this morning.
|
| 00:46:19 | If you get any nor details, by
all means, let us know, we'll
chat with you again.
|
| 00:46:24 | Thanks so much.
|
| 00:46:25 | >>> Meanwhile, another update
for you, nor headaches for your
commute because of this winter
storm.
|
| 00:46:32 | We're getting an update from
amtrak right now.
|
| 00:46:35 | Their media relations saying
they have now suspended service
from new york to boston.
|
| 00:46:41 | They've also suspended service
from new haven to springfield,
connecticut.
|
| 00:46:45 | Also, the empire service, this
is what services new york city
to albany, they say this is
operating now on a reduced
schedule and that they're also
reduced and limited
cancellations between washington
and new york.
|
| 00:46:58 | Obviously a popular commuter
corridor there.
|
| 00:47:03 | They say call 1-800-usa rail.
|
| 00:47:09 | Service from new haven to
springfield, connecticut, also
suspended.
|
| 00:47:14 | >>> Meanwhile, one of the arab's
closest allies clashing with
demonstrators in egypt.
|
| 00:47:24 | They want president mubarak out.
|
| 00:47:26 | And they're being silenced
online as well with some of the
social media blocked.
|
| 00:47:31 | Seems to be having a domino
effect in the middle east right
now, with recent clashes in wife
other arab nations.
|
| 00:47:39 | Ben wedeman is live in cairo
this morning with the latest.
|
| 00:47:43 | What is the latest, ben?
|
| 00:47:47 | >> Reporter: Yes, kiran, we're
hearing reports of clashes
between police and protesters on
the town on the su ed canal.
|
| 00:47:58 | Our crew is on the suez canal,
where the population is seething
with rage.
|
| 00:48:06 | Three protesters were killed.
|
| 00:48:08 | Last night, the protesters sort
of went on a rampage in suez.
|
| 00:48:13 | Fire bombing the police station
there.
|
| 00:48:16 | Police obviously very nervous.
|
| 00:48:17 | Here in cairo, the situation
seems to be calmer than it was
yesterday.
|
| 00:48:22 | But it's still earlier in the
day.
|
| 00:48:24 | Usually the protests really pick
00 in the
afternoon, when people get out
of university.
|
| 00:48:29 | Get out of work.
|
| 00:48:31 | We're hearing of also a
gathering of striking workers in
the town south of cairo.
|
| 00:48:37 | So all of this is really just
building up to tomorrow.
|
| 00:48:41 | The opposition parties and the
protest movement are all calling
for 1 million people to come out
into the streets of cairo and
other egyptian cities, after
friday prayer.
|
| 00:48:51 | So the government is bracing for
this thing to really go even
bigger than it already has gone.
|
| 00:48:59 | Kiran.
|
| 00:48:59 | >> Ben wedeman for us in egypt.
|
| 00:49:02 | Thanks so much.
|
| 00:49:02 | >>> Well, when is a party a
party?
|
| 00:49:05 | Well, the brand-new senate tea
party caucus having its first
meeting today.
|
| 00:49:09 | But exactly how many people will
show up.
|
| 00:49:11 | We'll talk to one of the
founding members.
|
| 00:49:14 | >>> Also, beware of a slumbering
super volcano.
|
| 00:49:19 | That's right, it's sitting
underneath yellowstone national
park.
|
| 00:49:22 | It's been there for centuries.
|
| 00:49:24 | But scientists say there is a
possibility it could erupt.
|
| 00:49:27 | What would happen?
|
| 00:49:29 | We'll talk about it up canning
up.
|
| 00:49:31 | 20 Minutes past the hour.
|
| 00:49:36 | --Captions by VITAC--."RR4U &J[Fé(ZPMé$w."
>>> Well, at 21 minutes past the
hour now, we are going to see a
first on capitol hill today.
|
| 00:51:02 | The first ever meeting of the
new senate tea party caucus.
|
| 00:51:06 | One of the founding members is
with us this morning.
|
| 00:51:09 | Senator mike lee of utah,
republican, joining us now.
|
| 00:51:13 | You're a founding member of this
thing.
|
| 00:51:15 | How many members do you have,
sir?
|
| 00:51:17 | >> We have three members so far.
|
| 00:51:19 | And we're looking forward to our
meeting this morning.
|
| 00:51:21 | >> Now, three members, that
doesn't sound like much of a
party this morning.
|
| 00:51:27 | >> No, no, it's a relatively
small group at this point.
|
| 00:51:30 | And I don't think it necessarily
needs to be big.
|
| 00:51:32 | We're not intending this to be a
full-blown influential caucus.
|
| 00:51:36 | We're intending this could be a
conduit for information to pass
between individuals who
sympathize with the tea party
movement in the united states
senate.
|
| 00:51:47 | >> Now, you said you don't want
it to be a full-blown and
influential caucus.
|
| 00:51:53 | If not influential, then what?
|
| 00:51:54 | >> No, my point is simply to
say, this caucus exists, first
and foremost to be a conduit of
information between tea party
sympathizers and the u.s.
|
| 00:52:08 | Senate.
|
| 00:52:09 | We've invited every member of
the senate, regardless of which
party they belong to, hopefully
to get more.
|
| 00:52:14 | If not, we'll get into
discussions.
|
| 00:52:20 | >> You hope you'll get more.
|
| 00:52:22 | Do you have an idea how many
you'd like to at least sound
successful or relevant.
|
| 00:52:26 | I understand you're saying
three, but it just sounds small
in some ways, maybe even
insignificant?
|
| 00:52:32 | >> No, my point is, as far as
I'm concerned, even if it stays
at three, it will fullfy its
purpose of allowing people to
simple that pies with the that
he party movement to communicate
their ideas to the u.s. senate.
|
| 00:52:46 | >> Wow like senator marco rubio,
he, of course, got all kind of
tea party support.
|
| 00:52:54 | But so far, he's refused to
join?
|
| 00:52:55 | >> Yeah, look, we'd love to have
marco.
|
| 00:53:00 | We'd love marco and lots of
other members of the senate to
join.
|
| 00:53:03 | I'd love every member of the
senate to join with us.
|
| 00:53:07 | If anyone chooses to join, we
welcome them, if not, we'll wait
for them next time.
|
| 00:53:11 | We'll see what happens.
|
| 00:53:12 | >> Do you think that will come
across as some kind of a
rejection, or even betrayal,
given how much support he did
receive from the tea party?
|
| 00:53:20 | >> Absolutely not.
|
| 00:53:21 | Absolutely not.
|
| 00:53:22 | Look, this is a voluntary thing.
|
| 00:53:25 | Again, we'd love to have him.
|
| 00:53:28 | We'd love to have any other
member of the senate.
|
| 00:53:31 | Hopefully, we'll get him to some
of the meetings.
|
| 00:53:34 | >> Michele bachmann, also a
republican tea party supporter.
|
| 00:53:39 | They gave the tea party response
to the state of the union the
other night.
|
| 00:53:43 | If you had your way and if
americans had only listened to
one response to the state of the
union, would you have preferred
for them to hear the official
gop response or the tea party
response?
|
| 00:53:54 | >> Well, look, I've never
supported any effort to have the
tea party become a party.
|
| 00:54:00 | And so, anytime you have a
member of the tea party
speaking, I think that's a good
thing but I don't think it's
there to try to replace any
republican response.
|
| 00:54:09 | It's certainly not there to
replace the republican party.
|
| 00:54:13 | So that's not a closed question.
|
| 00:54:15 | >> Do you think it certainly was
a different tone from the
official gop response?
|
| 00:54:19 | And was that the point?
|
| 00:54:21 | >> I think that the message of
the tea party is one of limited
government and that's an idea
that's in lockstep with the
republican party.
|
| 00:54:29 | That's why I've never seen the
tea party as anything that would
replace the party.
|
| 00:54:33 | It's simply a grassroots
political phenomenon that's
sweeps across the country, as
americans have realized that
their federal government has
grown too big and too expensive.
|
| 00:54:42 | >> One of the concerns of
senator rubio, at least, was
that this was supposed to be a
grassroots, leaderless movement.
|
| 00:54:49 | And by having a senate tea party
caucus, you are here now as a
founding member, at least a face
of the tea party caucus.
|
| 00:55:00 | Do you have that concern as
well.
|
| 00:55:02 | That maybe this will become and
you will become a face of the
party that is supposed to be
leaderless?
|
| 00:55:09 | >> No, that risk is not present
here.
|
| 00:55:12 | What I meant initially when i
was describing to you the
purpose of this.
|
| 00:55:16 | The purpose of it isn't to speak
for the senate or to speak for
any one group within the senate.
|
| 00:55:22 | The purpose is, rather, to
provide an open forum in which
members of the tea party
sympathizers out there that come
and discuss with some united
states senators their concerns.
|
| 00:55:33 | That's all it is.
|
| 00:55:34 | And it remains a leaderless
movement.
|
| 00:55:38 | One out of our way to
make sure that neither this
caucus, nor the movement
generally changes in its forum
to being a simply spontaneous
grassroots phenomenon.
|
| 00:55:52 | >> I know you that along with
senator DeMint and senator paul
are founding members.
|
| 00:56:01 | What are you suspecting at the
meeting?
|
| 00:56:03 | >> I suspect we could have 200
or 300 people there.
|
| 00:56:06 | We're looking forward to it.
|
| 00:56:08 | >> Senator lee, good luck.
|
| 00:56:10 | We appreciate you spending time
with us today.
|
| 00:56:14 | First ever meeting of the senate
tea party caucus.
|

everyone's on the roads in
boston this morning because
schools are closed.
|
| 00:59:25 | But I guess people have to get
to work this morning.
|
| 00:59:28 | It's quite a mess this morning
as this nor'easter moves up
dropped about 10 to 12 inches in
boston.
|
| 00:59:35 | A foot or more in many parts of
new york.
|
| 00:59:38 | Welcome once again, a major
nor'easter.
|
| 00:59:40 | Good morning to you.
|
| 00:59:41 | I'm kiran chetry.
|
| 00:59:43 | >> Hello to you all, I'm t.j.
|
| 00:59:46 | Holmes.
|
| 00:59:47 | But the person you really ought
to be talking to is rob
marciano.
|
| 00:59:54 | If you are flying, if you have a
loved one flying you need to
make sure you get online to the
faa website or the websites for
the airports and find out
exactly what's going on,
because, rob, this is kind of an
evolving situation.
|
| 01:00:05 | These times are kind of moving
around as well.
|
| 01:00:08 | So people, you need to check.
|
| 01:00:10 | >> You would think by the time
we get to this storm, after all
, we'd
have it down as far as getting
the places up and running.
|
| 01:00:22 | But there's so much tarmac to
deal with, move people around
the gates, just to get the
flights out.
|
| 01:00:27 | So it's an even bigger project
than you can imagine.
|
| 01:00:30 | Couple that with a foot, foot
and a half snow in some spots,
it's a bit of a tough go.
|
| 01:00:36 | All right.
|
| 01:00:37 | We're starting to see the light
at the end of the tunnel and
it's not another train.
|
| 01:00:41 | This snow is beginning to wind
down.
|
| 01:00:42 | There's not a whole lot of cold
air behind us.
|
| 01:00:46 | But the temperature is sticking
around.
|
| 01:00:48 | At least on the streets, we'll
see a little melting but it's
not going to melt away anytime
soon.
|
| 01:00:54 | The snow will stick around and
refrigerator the air tonight.
|
| 01:01:00 | And 15.4 inches.
|
| 01:01:02 | 2, norwalk at
17.0.
|
| 01:01:10 | The snow totals may climb up
even though the snow for the
most part has stopped.
|
| 01:01:17 | Newark and jfk shut down for the
moment.
|
| 01:01:21 | They're working feverishly to
open those up.
|
| 01:01:25 | Boston, going to have
cancellations, if not serious
delay.
|
| 01:01:30 | , their snow
has stopped there.
|
| 01:01:33 | This is the next system.
|
| 01:01:34 | How much snow is that going to
bring towards the northeast?
|
| 01:01:37 | Probably just an inch or two.
|
| 01:01:38 | But we've already broken a
and kiran, as far
as the month of january is
concerned over 32 inches of snow
in new york city, that's the
most they've ever had since
keeping records.
|
| 01:01:48 | >> Wow, breaking records,
certainly feels like it to know
we're at an historic high.
|
| 01:01:53 | Pretty crazy.
|
| 01:01:54 | Thanks.

through it, at least knowing you

|
| 01:08:25 | >>> There's good news for
gabrielle giffords who suffered
a gunshot wound to the head.
|
| 01:08:31 | Doctors are saying that she's
progressing, quote, at lightning
speed and she's beginning a fuel
full series in houston.
|
| 01:08:49 | Good francesco is here.
|
| 01:08:51 | >> Thank you for having me here.
|
| 01:08:52 | >> We talked about lightning
speed.
|
| 01:08:55 | That's a quote from the doctors.
|
| 01:08:56 | Can you give us an idea of how
she's doing and how she's
progresses that has surprised
and pleased her doctors so much?
|
| 01:09:02 | >> Well, it's only been a few
weeks since this happened and
she's been tolerating our
aggressive therapy program.
|
| 01:09:08 | We actually started this therapy
program the moment she arrived
in houston.
|
| 01:09:13 | And we've been upgrading it as
she tolerates the therapies.
|
| 01:09:17 | >> A couple of things, there was
some talk that she could perhaps
begin speaking.
|
| 01:09:23 | That her speech function is
improving and she's undergoing
speech therapy.
|
| 01:09:27 | Has she been able to speak?
|
| 01:09:29 | >> In the next few days we're
going to assess her further
progress in all domains.
|
| 01:09:34 | Her ability to speak.
|
| 01:09:35 | Her ability to move more.
|
| 01:09:37 | So it's something that we will
be monitoring closely.
|
| 01:09:40 | >> There are no more concerns,
though, about the fluid on the
brain?
|
| 01:09:42 | That's resolved?
|
| 01:09:45 | >> Well, according to the
neurosurgeons in our team, it
has been stable, but we are
going to monitor that, as we
would the other potential
problems that may occur after a
brain injury.
|
| 01:09:56 | >> And when they talk about her,
you know, recovering.
|
| 01:09:59 | I know that it's a long road
ahead.
|
| 01:10:01 | People say this is more like a
marathon than a sprint.
|
| 01:10:05 | But what is the potential best
case scenario life going to be
like for her, one the rehab is
over?
|
| 01:10:12 | >> Following a brain injury,
practically all aspects or
all -- well, I shouldn't say
all, but some functioning may be
affected, depending on what part
of the brain has been damaged.
|
| 01:10:26 | And rehabilitation.
|
| 01:10:28 | We watched closely the progress
of our patients.
|
| 01:10:30 | And we modified the therapy
program.
|
| 01:10:32 | In order to address these
individual impairments and
deficits so that we can bring
people to their maximum
potential.
|
| 01:10:40 | >> What is the most surprising
optimistic sign that you see so
far with gabrielle giffords?
|
| 01:10:46 | >> I believe it's just the speed
of her recovery.
|
| 01:10:50 | Of the fact that when I see her
every day, there is something
new.
|
| 01:10:54 | So that's been quite challenging
to us.
|
| 01:10:56 | Which is great, because now we
will have an opportunity to
challenge her as well.
|
| 01:11:01 | >> Well, it's certainly been
amazing, remarkable progress for
somebody that we said less than
three weeks ago suffered this
type of injury.
|
| 01:11:13 | gerald francesco, thank you
so much.
|
| 01:11:19 | >> Thank you.

friends.

they missed out on all of this
gain back.

thinking, yeah, but are we back

sleeping giant.
|
| 01:23:11 | If you're sitting next to an
80-pound gorilla, you want to
hear every snore of this gorilla
because when it explodes, it
will destroy the united states
as we know it.
|
| 01:23:23 | >> I want to show people what we
are talking about here when we
talk about this super volcano.
|
| 01:23:33 | It is beneath yellowstone and
been there as we know.
|
| 01:23:36 | 1
million years.
|
| 01:23:40 | What they are worried about they
say the ground has started to
swell in levels they have not
seen before.
|
| 01:23:46 | Ten inches in some places in the
past year.
|
| 01:23:48 | What does that tell us?
|
| 01:23:50 | >> It tells us there is active
in the super volcano which
erupts roughly every 600 million
years.
|
| 01:23:57 | The last eruption was 600,040
years ago.
|
| 01:24:13 | Every single burp, murmur
including the rise of the sea
level has to be watched very
carefully.
|
| 01:24:21 | >> So when we talk about this,
we have pictures.
|
| 01:24:24 | We have pictures of mt.
|
| 01:24:26 | St. helen erupting in 1980.
|
| 01:24:28 | You say an explosion with this
super volcano under yellowstone
and would be a thousand times
bigger than this.
|
| 01:24:36 | What type of damage are we
talking about here?
|
| 01:24:38 | >> We are talking about
immediate damage up to a hundred
miles from the site that is
total devastation and wiping
everything in sight.
|
| 01:24:47 | The real damage goes to 500
miles if you include volcanic
ash, death of wildlife and
vegetation.
|
| 01:24:56 | That is a ring about a thousand
miles across.
|
| 01:24:59 | That is the heart line of
america.
|
| 01:25:02 | >> It would pretty much wipe out
earth as we know it.
|
| 01:25:04 | >> It would be wipe out the
united states as we know it.
|
| 01:25:07 | We don't to panic anybody.
|
| 01:25:10 | It could happen tomorrow or a
hundred thousand years from now.
|
| 01:25:13 | It's black magic trying to
predict exactly when it's going
to blow, but we do know one
thing.
|
| 01:25:18 | One day, it will blow.
|
| 01:25:19 | >> You say that something on
this scale is what wiped out the
dinosaurs?
|
| 01:25:25 | >> 65 Million years ago another
super volcano coincided with a
meteor that hit mexico and we
think a whammy that knocked out
the dinosaurs.
|
| 01:25:35 | Something we take seriously but
the cycle time is measured on a
scale of a hundred thousand a
years.
|
| 01:25:41 | >> Would there be anything to
prepare or get people out?
|
| 01:25:44 | How much of a warning might we
get with this eruption?
|
| 01:25:47 | >> All you can do it run.
|
| 01:25:49 | You don't get much warning.
|
| 01:25:51 | The ground starts to rise and
more and more earthquakes take
place and more ash and volcanic
gases start to unleash.
|
| 01:26:00 | The only warning we have.
|
| 01:26:01 | We do not have a good way to
predict volcanic eruptions.
|
| 01:26:06 | >> Are we getting a better way
to do it or at the mercy of
mother nature?
|
| 01:26:10 | >> We are still clueless looking
for the warning size.
|
| 01:26:13 | That is why the sudden rise in
the earth even though is not
immediately dangerous is looked
at very carefully because we
have no experience with super
volcanoes.
|
| 01:26:23 | helen's but
a super volcano erupting in our
lifetime we have no
understanding of the scope of
that thing.
|
| 01:26:30 | We see the evidence of previous
eruptions.
|
| 01:26:32 | >> You're saying it could be
tomorrow or a hundred thousand
years but it's under there.
|
| 01:26:36 | >> It's there and it will
happen.
|
| 01:26:38 | At one point it will destroy
north america as we know it.

now.
|

gupta.
|
| 01:29:48 | Meetings were taking place and
now told about a little
explosion.
|
| 01:29:52 | Do we know yet if this thing was
set by someone?
|
| 01:29:56 | Was it a criminal act or could
have this have possibly been an
accident?
|
| 01:30:02 | >> We're just getting some more
information along those lines,
t.j.
|
| 01:30:06 | Pretty convincing there was some
sort of criminal activity here
because e-mails were sent prior
to this detonation device, as
it's being called.
|
| 01:30:14 | E-mails were sent to people
affiliated with the hotel and
then to an organization that is
part of a swiss media
organization.
|
| 01:30:22 | So they threatened specifically
to attack this hotel.
|
| 01:30:27 | The e-mails seem to have come
from an anti-world economic
forum group, they are
threatening this exact thing.
|
| 01:30:36 | It was called a small detonation
device.
|
| 01:30:38 | It was in the back entrance of a
large hotel very close to where
all of the meetings are taking
place called the post hotel.
|
| 01:30:46 | You couldn't tell if it was
thrown into the back entrance or
the detonation device was
already there.
|
| 01:30:50 | It blew out a window.
|
| 01:30:52 | We are not hearing of any
injuries.
|
| 01:30:54 | This is an important hotel.
|
| 01:30:56 | A lot of the base of the swiss
government stays at this hotel
during this world economic forum
here in davos.

| 01:31:05 | Tonight a party planned with the
special guest former president
bill clinton and scheduled for
6:30 this evening.
|
| 01:31:13 | We think it's still going to go
on.
|
| 01:31:15 | It gives you the context of how
important it is.
|
| 01:31:18 | We are at the specific congress
center where the meetings are
being held.
|
| 01:31:20 | The hotel is a half a mile away
from here.
|
| 01:31:23 | I was walking down the street
and heard police in the area.
|
| 01:31:25 | The small town of 13,000, police
started to talk about the post
hotel when this first happened
and we got a sense that
something was happening.
|
| 01:31:33 | Each over the last half an hour
or so, you see evidence of
increasing security now above
some of the hotels now
immediately adjacent to the
congress center.
|
| 01:31:42 | You're seeing people on top of
the roofs much these hotels,
increasing security presence.
|
| 01:31:48 | No injuries but it seemed to be
, to
your point.
|
| 01:31:52 | >> All right.
|
| 01:31:53 | Sanjay, appreciate the update
and continue to update our
viewers on that story.
|
| 01:31:56 | Thanks to our sanjay gupta
covering that for us.
|
| 01:31:59 | Criminal activity but, again, it
looks like there was no injury
associated with it.
|
| 01:32:03 | >>> Turn to the weather
situation right now.
|
| 01:32:05 | It is a situation.
|
| 01:32:06 | The roads are a mess.
|
| 01:32:08 | The sky is going to be a mess
for while today as well.
|
| 01:32:11 | You see this video.
|
| 01:32:12 | Folks trying to dig out and
still trying to get around.
|
| 01:32:15 | Several cities right now have at
least a foot of snow.
|
| 01:32:18 | We can tell you that the schools
, philly, new
york, boston today.
|
| 01:32:23 | The federal government is going
to be opening two hours late in
and the major airports in
the northeast right now are
struggling to get up and running
today.
|
| 01:32:32 | >>> We announced a snow
emergency.
|
| 01:32:34 | That means they need to get cars
off the road in new york and
boston so the plows can get
through.
|
| 01:32:38 | They have closed schools in all
of those cities.
|
| 01:32:41 | Since mid december, it has
actually snowed eight times in
the new york city area, about
once every five days.
|
| 01:32:47 | In boston, they have gotten 50
inches and counting so far this
season.
|
| 01:32:52 | Gobbling through their snow
removal budgets.
|
| 01:32:54 | Reynolds wolf is standing by
this morning.
|
| 01:32:56 | One other note.
|
| 01:32:58 | We got word from amtrak they
have suspended their new york to
boston service as well because
of the weather.
|
| 01:33:05 | >> No surprise.
|
| 01:33:06 | I mean, we have seen some very
heavy snow as you mentioned
around the region.
|
| 01:33:10 | 5 inches of
snowfall and standstill at the
airport.
|
| 01:33:14 | They have had over 300 flights
canceled or coming in or
departing.
|
| 01:33:18 | One mode of transportation has
been working pretty well at
00 last night is
due to the cleaners that we have
on the sidewalks.
|
| 01:33:25 | Take a look at something.
|
| 01:33:27 | Bob?
|
| 01:33:27 | Bob crowley is our cnn photo
journalists.
|
| 01:33:31 | Let's show them the condition of
the sidewalks.
|
| 01:33:33 | They have this down to a
science.
|
| 01:33:35 | Got a little bit of salt they
put down but also cleaning this
stuff off and as clean as can
be.
|
| 01:33:39 | Something else they have been
working on have been the
streets.
|
| 01:33:42 | Let's hop out over here and give
you an idea of what we got.
|
| 01:33:45 | Some places where the plows have
been coming through stacking up
in a few places and advise if
you don't have to get on the
roadways, don't.
|
| 01:33:53 | I mean, use this as a good
excuse to stay home.
|
| 01:33:55 | A lot of cars over there.
|
| 01:33:56 | The streets are passable for the
time being.
|
| 01:33:59 | City services working and we
have seen taxis and vans and
buses and all kinds of stuff.
|
| 01:34:02 | Speaking of the city.
|
| 01:34:04 | All city government offices are
going to be open for today.
|
| 01:34:07 | Everyone is expected to come
into work.
|
| 01:34:09 | Have fun with that.
|
| 01:34:11 | In terms of school, kids, all
boston public schools, no kids
have to go to school for the
day.
|
| 01:34:17 | Community centers have been open
00
tonight and some of boston's
finest making their way on
through working with no issues.
|
| 01:34:26 | Guys, this could have been a lot
worse.
|
| 01:34:28 | Thankful the area of low
pressure came through very
quickly and slowed down a
fraction or two, we might be
talking about 6 to 8 inches of
more snowfall.
|
| 01:34:37 | The highest point we have seen
in this area 11.5.
|
| 01:34:41 | Kick it back to you in the
studio.
|
| 01:34:44 | >> So he is telling consider
ourselves lucky.
|
| 01:34:46 | Could have been worse.
|
| 01:34:47 | 6 More inches.
|
| 01:34:53 | Thanks.
|
| 01:34:53 | >> It could have been far worse
than this.
|
| 01:34:55 | >> Let's turn to the airports
and give you an idea of what is
happening in the northeast.
|
| 01:34:59 | Here's a look where we are right
now.
|
| 01:35:01 | This is a changing situation but
reagan national right now open.
|
| 01:35:04 | Boston logan open.
|
| 01:35:06 | kennedy is closed but
they are trying to get up and
moving over the next couple of
hours.
|
| 01:35:11 | Newark closed right now but
going to reopen to departures in
about an hour.
|
| 01:35:17 | And open to arrivals around
noon.
|
| 01:35:20 | >>> Rob marciano is in the
extreme severe weather center
for this playing out for us and
breaking records right and left
with the snow.
|
| 01:35:27 | >> The totals in new york city
puts you over the top for the
month of january to break a
record over 32 inches of snow.
|
| 01:35:35 | The snow for the most part has
stopped but getting out and
trying to clear the runways.
|
| 01:35:40 | These are airports we think will
see delays after the airports
you just mentioned open on later
today.
|
| 01:35:46 | New york and boston and
philadelphia over hour delays
expected there.
|
| 01:35:50 | a head start
getting out there early because
the snow stopped earlier to help
you start to dig out.
|
| 01:35:57 | Chicago and minneapolis and
detroit and cleveland the next
system a little snow coming in
as well.
|
| 01:36:01 | Here is the back edge of it.
|
| 01:36:03 | Providence to boston seeing
things wind down.
|
| 01:36:04 | You saw the live shot from
reynolds wolf.
|
| 01:36:08 | Doesn't look like it's snowing
there.
|
| 01:36:10 | Wind gusts 40 to 50 miles an
hour with this system.
|
| 01:36:12 | A number of power outages across
the board and this wasn't just
confined to one area.
|
| 01:36:19 | through delaware and
baltimore and philadelphia and
up through parts of jersey and
boston, everybody getting a
piece of this and temperatures
hovering around the freezing
mark.
|
| 01:36:31 | The snow has been pretty wet and
that makes it even more
difficult to snowplow but there
is more in the way of snow
coming in behind this system.
|
| 01:36:39 | But check out some of these
totals.
|
| 01:36:42 | These are rising as we get out
there to measure this stuff.
|
| 01:36:47 | Clifton, new jersey, 19 inches
and norwalk 17 inches and jersey
city 16 and staten island 15
inches and milford 15 inches.
|
| 01:36:57 | I think central park will get
over 16 inches because that was
00 morning at
15.3.
|
| 01:37:03 | Next system coming in from the
great lakes doesn't have the
punch this system does.
|
| 01:37:06 | Maybe an inch or two with this
come tomorrow and another quick
system coming in on sunday.
|
| 01:37:10 | It is accumulation of several
storm systems over what has been
a very long winter and we're not
even into february yet.
|
| 01:37:20 | Kind of just bear with us here.
|
| 01:37:22 | Spring is not really right
around the corner but it will be
here eventually.
|
| 01:37:26 | >> Exactly.
|
| 01:37:27 | Can't come soon enough for us.
|
| 01:37:29 | Thanks, rob.
|
| 01:37:29 | >>> The storm september the
federal government home early
yesterday and grounded marine
one.
|
| 01:37:34 | The president was forced to ride
in a motorcade from air force
one to the white house instead
of the usual helicopter ride.
|
| 01:37:41 | He was on his back back from
wisconsin.
|
| 01:37:44 | Even the president had to deal
traffic in the
snow which is not fun.
|
| 01:37:49 | Ride that took about 20 minutes,
it took an hour.
|
| 01:37:52 | >> Not only causing headaches
for you and trying to travel but
it is doing a number on city
budgets.
|
| 01:37:57 | This is expensive stuff.
|
| 01:37:59 | Take a look in d.c.
|
| 01:38:01 | They have spent about $39% of
4 snow removal budget
and in new york city they have
8
million dollar budget.
|
| 01:38:12 | In boston, they have gone
through about 66% of their 16
million dollar budget.
|
| 01:38:17 | >>> The dow opening this morning
at its highest level in nearly
three years.
|
| 01:38:22 | 15 Points shy of the 12,000
mark.
|
| 01:38:24 | The dow crossed that milestone
yesterday but then retreated
slightly later in the day.
|
| 01:38:29 | >>> Coming up, some scary video
to show you of a very popular
singer taking a tumble off a
stage at a concert and knocked
unconscious.
|
| 01:38:38 | >>> Also a little later while
president obama did a double
take yesterday in wisconsin when
he met the local mayor.

|
| 01:41:31 | The affiliate there wjla has
pictures of abandon cars.
|
| 01:41:35 | Cars literally just people
leaving their cars there on the
road.
|
| 01:41:37 | You can see looks like a little
strip in the middle there.
|
| 01:41:41 | One, two, three and then on the
side, four, five, six.
|
| 01:41:44 | Just in that shot alone of cars.
|
| 01:41:46 | You know, we almost did that
this morning.
|
| 01:41:48 | We got stuck and I didn't know
if we would have to leave our
car.
|
| 01:41:51 | >> You got some help.
|
| 01:41:52 | >> Thank goodness there is a
good samaritan who had a plow on
the front of his car and helped
us out.
|
| 01:41:59 | A mess out there.
|
| 01:42:00 | , drivers aren't used to
it.
|
| 01:42:03 | >> Several places will be a
mess.
|
| 01:42:04 | We will continue to update on
the weather situation.
|
| 01:42:07 | >>> The tucson shooting suspect,
getting new information he
actually searched the internet
for information on political
assassinations even lethal
injections as well as solitary
kvenment.
|
| 01:42:19 | This is coming to us from a law
enforcement source.
|
| 01:42:22 | This is some of the newest
information or evidence against
jarrett loughner and some are
saying this points to
premeditation which would go
directly in the face of any
insanity he is trying to mount.
|
| 01:42:40 | >>> In the meantime, doctors are
using terms like lightning speed
in giffords attempt to rehab.
|
| 01:42:48 | I had a chance to talk to the
head of the rehab facility about
what he has seen the most
encouraging thing from gabrielle
giffords.
|
| 01:42:56 | >> The speed of her recovery.
|
| 01:42:58 | The fact that when I see her
every day, there is something
new.
|
| 01:43:01 | So that's been quite challenging
to us, which is great, because
now we will have an opportunity
to challenge her as well.
|
| 01:43:08 | >> Doctors, though, say
giffords' recovery will be a
marathon, not a sprint.
|
| 01:43:13 | >>> Take a look now and take a
listen at the tumble that singer
jimmy buffett took on stage.
|
| 01:43:22 | You hear the crowd react there.
|
| 01:43:25 | He was giving a concert in
australia when he fell off the
front of the stage.
|
| 01:43:29 | Now he apparently hit his head.
|
| 01:43:30 | He had to go to the hospital.
|
| 01:43:32 | He got several stitches but the
64-year-old was not unconscious
but he has been released from
the hospital.
|
| 01:43:38 | We believe he is going to be
okay.
|
| 01:43:40 | >> Poor guy.
|
| 01:43:40 | He got lucky, though.
|
| 01:43:42 | >> A nasty tumble.
|
| 01:43:44 | >>> People doing a double take

|
| 01:47:22 | Manager of a grocery store
decided to cover up the cover by
using a family shield.
|
| 01:47:31 | Complaints were called in about
the shield and now the magazine
is being sold again in harp's
grocery store.
|
| 01:47:41 | >>> This might be a little
ridiculous.
|
| 01:47:43 | Walmart is selling a line of
makeup for girls 8 to 12 years
old.
|
| 01:47:55 | This is called geo and contains
no chemicals and supposed to
have antioxidants to prevent
aging.
|
| 01:48:05 | 8 To 12.
|
| 01:48:05 | We are reaching out to walmart
for comment and haven't heard
back just yet but they did point
out at least about teaching this
generation about beauty care in
a responsible way, so teach them
early and maybe they will pick
up some things they can use
later in life, maybe.
|

olive pit and apparently had
very serious damage to his
teeth.
|
| 01:49:17 | He is suing $150,000 in damages
and in that lawsuit, it actually
says he sustained serious and
permanent dental and oral
injuries.
|
| 01:49:29 | He suffered a loss of enjoyment.
|
| 01:49:31 | >> Poor guy.
|
| 01:49:31 | >>> So much for civility and
government.
|
| 01:49:34 | Check out what happened in the
scene in pennsylvania statehouse
yesterday, lawmakers were all
set to vote on a series of bills
that would change the way state
government operates and then
this happened.
|
| 01:49:46 | >> Representative, thank you
very much.
|
| 01:49:47 | I know that the democratic
people will take a roll call
vote.
|
| 01:49:53 | >> Representative mark --
>> no.
|
| 01:49:54 | >> Are you telling us we can't
debate the bill any more?
|
| 01:49:57 | Is that what you're saying?
|
| 01:49:58 | >> Representative, make your
speech.
|
| 01:50:02 | Please take the roll.
|
| 01:50:03 | >> We have members of the rules
committee.
|
| 01:50:06 | We have members of the rules
committee.
|
| 01:50:09 | On the house floor have a right
to speak.

|
| 01:50:12 | May I speak?

|
| 01:50:17 | >> You stifle us here, too?
|
| 01:50:20 | You can't!
|
| 01:50:20 | You can't!
|
| 01:50:21 | >> Mr. chairman!
|
| 01:50:22 | >> I can't hear anything!
|
| 01:50:23 | >> We got elected to end --
>> mr. chairman!
|
| 01:50:26 | >> Sit down!
|

|
| 01:50:49 | George.
|
| 01:50:50 | >> Maybe they should go back to
sitting separately.
|
| 01:50:52 | They shouldn't mix the
republicans and democrats there
maybe?
|
| 01:50:55 | >> That was very odd.
|
| 01:50:57 | >> It was very strange.
|
| 01:50:58 | Again, maybe we need to send the
memo to them about civility in
our politics.
|
| 01:51:02 | >>> Speaking of politics, the
president gave you state of the
union the other night and now on
the road trying to sell it.
|
| 01:51:08 | He was in wisconsin during a
manufacturing plant there.
|
| 01:51:10 | He met the state's governor.
|
| 01:51:12 | Local leaders come out and met
the mayor of green bay as well.
|
| 01:51:15 | He kind of did a double take
when he met the 24-year-old
mayor of one particular town.
|
| 01:51:23 | >> He says he's the mayor of
manitauk.
|
| 01:51:29 | I'm looking at the guy.
|
| 01:51:30 | I don't think it's true, but --
>> I met with him right when he
walked in and I said I'm the
mayor and he said, well, you're
young.
|
| 01:51:37 | I said, yes, I am.
|
| 01:51:46 | A little jab but it's all in
good fan.
|
| 01:51:49 | >> That would throw you off.
|
| 01:51:50 | Walks up and claims to be the
mayor.
|
| 01:51:52 | He doesn't look like it.
|
| 01:51:54 | Before becoming mayor he worked
at a grocery store and was a
high school basketball referee.
|
| 01:51:58 | >> I think there is a
19-year-old somewhere.
|
| 01:52:00 | >> Where was that?
|
| 01:52:02 | >> I can't remember.
|
| 01:52:03 | Good.
|
| 01:52:04 | Starting young.
|
| 01:52:04 | Got a lot of responsibility on

|

to be concerned about the
security on his.
|
| 01:55:51 | Yes, the founder of facebook, he
has been hacked apparently.
|
| 01:55:55 | At least his fan page has.
|
| 01:55:56 | Listen to the message that was
posted.
|
| 01:55:58 | I'm quoting here.
|

of going to the banks why
doesn't facebook het its user

|
| 01:57:09 | So it will look like this.
|
| 01:57:10 | The ad will pop up and it will
show where you've been.
|
| 01:57:13 | Now, a lot of people are upset
about this because you can't opt
out if you check in.
|
| 01:57:17 | If you do that, this will pop
up.
|
| 01:57:20 | But it says it will only pop on
your friends and only pop up o
your friends pages.

bowl which is coming up on
FEBRUARY 6th.
|
| 01:57:54 | A lot of people looking forward
to it.
|
| 01:57:55 | Never know.
|
| 01:57:56 | These guys might have tickets.
|
| 01:57:58 | No tickets?
|
| 01:57:58 | >> I wish.
|
| 01:57:59 | >> I don't.
|
| 01:58:00 | >> Okay.
|
| 01:58:00 | We're not going.
|
| 01:58:01 | But for the people who are
going, they may want to take a
cab to get from the airport to
the hotel, to the venue,
whatever they want to do.
|
| 01:58:10 | That may be harder for people
because the taxi association
there is thinking about
boycotting, because they are
saying this new initiative in
dallas with the natural gas
taxis get to go to the front of
the line of the airport is not
fair and they will spend hours
in line and so they may boycott
the whole week.
|
| 01:58:28 | Stuff going on the whole week
leading up to the super bowls.
|
| 01:58:34 | Fashion parties, and a lot going
on in the city.
|
| 01:58:35 | Because of that, they are saying
this is not fair and if it was
really about clean energy, if it
was really about helping out the
environment they would include
hybrids.
|
| 01:58:44 | The city says this is not that
big of a deal.
|
| 01:58:47 | Only at the airport about 1,800
people will use a cab on a
normal day.
|
| 01:58:52 | Problem is super bowl is not a
normal time and on top of it, a
lot of people want to go out to
eat and out to drink and they
don't want to drive and want to
be responsible.
|
| 01:59:00 | If the cabs aren't there, in
dallas, texas, everything is
spread out.
|
| 01:59:05 | There is work on that and
litigation to try to make it go
away.
|
| 01:59:12 | The city says it will not cause
that much of a disruption so we
will see.
|
| 01:59:15 | >> Stephanie, appreciate you
this morning.

|
| 01:59:58 | The roads out there are a mess.
|
| 02:00:00 | The airlines, airports are a
mess out there as well.

kiran.
|
| 02:00:44 | You can see the beautiful
blanket of snow here on the
national mall.
|
| 02:00:48 | The sun is out.
|
| 02:00:51 | The snow is melting slowly.
|
| 02:00:52 | This is what people are dealing
with.
|
| 02:00:54 | Take a look at the conditions.
|
| 02:00:55 | It turned to ice and it's
crunchy and hard and what people
have to shovel out from under
their driveways and their cars
and it's pretty much slow going
this morning, as you mentioned.
|
| 02:01:06 | You can take a look, though,
things aren't that bad because
these major roads here have been
plowed.
|
| 02:01:13 | But keep in mind this would be
normal rush hour for the
nation's capital but a lot of
government offices have allowed
their employees to come in about
two hours later, so the public
schools are closed as well.
|
| 02:01:26 | So a lot of people handling this
with a lot of precaution this
morning because there are
dangerous conditions.
|
| 02:01:33 | A lot of the area airports you
were talking about this, kiran.
|
| 02:01:35 | They are closed throughout the
east coast.
|
| 02:01:38 | , a lot of the
airports as well having a tough
time with the snow and working
furiously to make sure the
runways are open.
|
| 02:01:47 | There were some closures
was hit the
hardest.
|
| 02:01:51 | The snow is coming pretty much
an inch an hour and 6 inches in
all.
|
| 02:01:56 | This isn't anything like the
snow apocalypse we dealt with
last year.
|
| 02:02:01 | Some people were stranded along
the streets and highways
yesterday.
|
| 02:02:04 | We were hearing stories and
getting tweets about people who
had commutes about four miles to
get home.
|
| 02:02:10 | It took two hours.
|
| 02:02:12 | Not a fun time yesterday.
|
| 02:02:14 | But, again, things are thawing
out here and people are just
taking it in stride.
|
| 02:02:18 | >> That's all they can do really
at this point.
|
| 02:02:22 | Two-hour delay for the federal
government and they are saying
if you can work at home, you can
telecommute.
|
| 02:02:27 | They might let you do that.
|
| 02:02:29 | Might be a better idea.
|
| 02:02:30 | >> Oh, yeah.
|
| 02:02:30 | One more thing.
|
| 02:02:32 | You know, people take the good
and the bad.
|
| 02:02:34 | Of course, people from
washington know how to handle
the snow because of the
experience from last year?
|
| 02:02:39 | Well, facebook had a big
gathering and a lot of people
came out yesterday.
|
| 02:02:43 | If we have the video.
|
| 02:02:45 | Forget this.
|
| 02:02:46 | A big snowball fight.

|
| 02:02:47 | We like to fight, you know?
|
| 02:02:49 | It's a pretty partisan town here
so that's what they did
yesterday in the snow.

often.

|
| 02:06:59 | I try to tell them it doesn't
matter what you say.
|
| 02:07:04 | People are going to agree and
disagree with it so they
overreact.
|
| 02:07:07 | I will be honest and
straightforward but I don't ever
take the criticisms because it's
all dictated whether you like
their team or when it comes to
fans, you say something good
about their team or their
players.
|
| 02:07:20 | They don't have any outside part
of you.
|
| 02:07:23 | They want you to stay all
positive stuff about their team
or their favorite player.
|
| 02:07:28 | >> You famously said you're not
a role model.
|
| 02:07:33 | Are you a role model yet?
|
| 02:07:36 | >> To thank nike.
|
| 02:07:37 | Young black kids are not getting
their education.
|
| 02:07:40 | They think they are are all
GOING TO BE LeBRON JAMES AND
Michael jordan and dwyane wade.
|
| 02:07:45 | Sports is great and given me
everything in my life but i
wanted to start a debate.
|
| 02:07:49 | We do have black doctors and
lawyers and teachers and firemen
and policemen, but,
unfortunately, if you look at
the graduation rates, our black
kids -- it's our fault.
|
| 02:07:59 | Our parents, some of these
parents have not done a good
job.
|
| 02:08:04 | I want them to stop looking at
black jocks and entertainers as
the only way they can be
successful.
|
| 02:08:09 | >> That is parents' fault.
|
| 02:08:10 | I guess media to blame as well
because we hype these people up.
|
| 02:08:14 | >> We are.
|
| 02:08:14 | But we're making money.
|
| 02:08:16 | The people we are working for
are making money.
|
| 02:08:19 | Unfortunately, it has a negative
impact on the black community
and we, as black people, we as
black people, have to take a
better responsibility of that.
|
| 02:08:26 | >> You told me, you say all the
time you love to say you were
born too early.
|
| 02:08:30 | Because in today's nba, these
guys who -- a lot of people
don't have hall of fame careers
but making a whole lot more
money you ever did.
|
| 02:08:39 | How much wealthier would you be
if you played in today's nba?
|
| 02:08:43 | >> Probably have another $200
million.
|
| 02:08:46 | First of all, I'm very lucky and
blessed and don't hate on the
young guys for making money.
|
| 02:08:50 | God bless them.
|
| 02:08:51 | It is what it is.
|
| 02:08:53 | Because I made more money.
|
| 02:08:55 | Bill russell who is a much
better player than me and john
havlicek, larry byrd.
|
| 02:09:02 | I mean, on the court.
|
| 02:09:03 | Those guys are better players
and it is what it is.
|
| 02:09:07 | I want them to appreciate it,
though.
|
| 02:09:10 | >> You are broadcasting tonight
from madison square garden.
|
| 02:09:12 | YOU AND LeBRON MADE UP YET?
|
| 02:09:14 | You were critical of him how he
left cleveland.
|
| 02:09:16 | >> Yes.
|
| 02:09:17 | >> But also of the move itself.
|
| 02:09:18 | You said and larry and michael
y'all would never try to team up
to make a super team.
|
| 02:09:23 | You want to beat those guys.
|
| 02:09:26 | Are you ready to say that
criticism maybe not warranted
because it seems to be working
out pretty well in miami right
now.
|
| 02:09:31 | >> Miami is going to win.
|
| 02:09:33 | They have dwyane.
|
| 02:09:33 | They are going to have a great
team.
|
| 02:09:35 | My criticism, number one, about
the way he handled the cleveland
thing and all anybody would have
been really concerned with.
|
| 02:09:42 | I think also we were a little
disappointed.
|
| 02:09:44 | He was a two-time defending nba
mvp.
|
| 02:09:48 | He doesn't leave his home.
|
| 02:09:50 | Certainly a guy who was born in
that area.
|
| 02:09:52 | People come to him.
|
| 02:09:52 | >> Did you take this personally?
|
| 02:09:54 | That commercial when he said --
took a bite out of a doughnut?
|
| 02:09:56 | >> Oh, no.
|
| 02:09:57 | I thought that was a hilarious.
|
| 02:09:59 | First of all, I'm a nike guy.
|
| 02:10:01 | First of all, I don't take too
much that serious.
|
| 02:10:05 | One of the reasons I try to love
having fun with basketball, it's
just basketball.
|
| 02:10:09 | I tell people, only five real
jobs in the world, teacher,
fireman, policeman, doctor,
somebody in the service.
|
| 02:10:17 | Everybody else ought to chill
out and enjoy life.
|
| 02:10:21 | >> Politician, is that a real
job?
|
| 02:10:23 | Buzz a while back you wanted to
be governor of alabama.
|
| 02:10:28 | Have you given up?
|
| 02:10:29 | >> Yes.
|
| 02:10:30 | It's so corrupt now.
|
| 02:10:33 | Special interest groups and that
is no fun.
|
| 02:10:34 | Nobody wants to go to work every
day and argue.
|
| 02:10:37 | >> You believe the civility
thing they are trying to do now?
|
| 02:10:42 | >> They do that because there is
no elections.
|
| 02:10:44 | They will get uncivil.
|
| 02:10:45 | Once the election cycle was
over, they became civil.
|
| 02:10:49 | I guarantee you two years when
there is an election cycle they
will be uncivil.
|
| 02:10:53 | >> Take president obama out of
this equation.
|
| 02:10:55 | Who would you say the most
talented politician in this
country?
|
| 02:11:02 | >> Wow, that's a great question.
|
| 02:11:07 | I don't see the next big star
because you have to have the
charisma, the personality to
deal and get people to follow
you.
|
| 02:11:17 | >> Does sarah palin have it?
|
| 02:11:19 | >> She has "it" but she not
going to win.
|
| 02:11:22 | I think she is good looking, but
she not going to win.
|
| 02:11:26 | And there is no disrespect.
|
| 02:11:27 | They are not going to let a
woman be the presidential
candidate.
|
| 02:11:31 | >> Not a woman?
|
| 02:11:32 | >> Not going to let a woman.
|
| 02:11:34 | >> They said they wouldn't let a
black man either.
|
| 02:11:37 | >> I think the republican party
is a little bit different to the
democratic party.
|
| 02:11:41 | I vote democratic because i
think they represent a majority
more of the people, the people
where I came from, the people
who don't have money.
|
| 02:11:49 | Let one thing straight.
|
| 02:11:53 | Politics is screwing poor
people.

poor people.

I like her but let me tell you

|
| 02:12:05 | The good ole boy network will
not let the woman be a
front-runner of their party.

allowed in this country?
|
| 02:12:17 | >> Sure.
|
| 02:12:17 | As a black person, I'm against
any form of discrimination,
whether it's ageism, sexism.
|
| 02:12:23 | Also, you know, we always talk
about race in america.
|
| 02:12:27 | A lot of black people full of
it, too.
|
| 02:12:30 | Race doesn't go one way.
|
| 02:12:31 | As a black person, I haven't
been real through anything.
|
| 02:12:34 | Studied my history.
|
| 02:12:35 | I'm against any form of
discrimination and I think gay
people, if they want to on get
married, it's their own
business.
|
| 02:12:41 | >> Why don't you use twitter?

overrated.

money.

| 02:13:14 | I don't take it personally.
|
| 02:13:14 | >> Last thing here.
|
| 02:13:18 | One of the things in the time
you and I always spend together
that is one of the most
endearing things about you is
when you talk about your
daughter.
|
| 02:13:26 | Of all the things you've been
through in your life, all of the
mvp awards and the accolades and
how proud are you going to be
when she graduates?
|
| 02:13:34 | How proud of a moment is that
going to be?
|
| 02:13:36 | She is about to graduate from
college.
|
| 02:13:38 | , first of all,
she is going to be the first
barkley to graduate.
|
| 02:13:43 | I'm so pumped for her, because i
tell all kids when I speak to
them, graduate from college is a
great accomplishment.
|
| 02:13:55 | Worry about the job later but
for her to actually graduate.
|
| 02:13:58 | Number one, a barkley
graduating.
|
| 02:14:01 | I'm going so proud.
|
| 02:14:02 | Clearly, I hope I don't cry too
much.
|
| 02:14:04 | But I'm going to be so pumped,
because I tell kids all the
time, to graduate from college
is a great personal
accomplishment.
|
| 02:14:14 | >> You never went back and got
your degree?
|
| 02:14:16 | >> I got too much money to go
back now.
|
| 02:14:17 | >> Come on, man!
|
| 02:14:19 | You went through a whole speech
about getting an education.
|
| 02:14:22 | >> You get 20 points and 20
rebounds, you don't have to
worry about an education!
|
| 02:14:27 | I always say I don't have a
college degree but I got a lot
of people working for me.
|
| 02:14:32 | >> Chuck!
|
| 02:14:33 | Good to see you this morning.
|
| 02:14:34 | Charles barkley, you heard it

|
| 02:14:37 | Kiran, I'll hand it back over to

|
| 02:14:39 | >> 20 Points and how many

|
| 02:14:46 | Thanks, charles.
|
| 02:14:46 | Now we got something to talk
about in our twitter stream
today.
|
| 02:14:49 | >>> The northeast getting
pummeled again but we're not the
only ones dealing with a
snowstorm.
|
| 02:14:55 | Rob marciano will join us with
more on where this is headed
next.
|
| 02:17:30 | >>> We are giving you a
firsthand look today what it is
like to drive around in it.
|
| 02:17:35 | One of our producers is in
brooklyn driving around today.
|
| 02:17:39 | If you didn't get your car off
the road, you're probably going
to be in for it today because
some of these cars are literally
buried along the sides of the
street because of all plowing
that is going on.
|
| 02:17:52 | We got another 15.3 inches.
|
| 02:17:53 | I think that is probably going
to go up in central park
breaking the record for january
and chewing through our entire
snow budget for the season here
in new york city.
|
| 02:18:02 | So what a mess.
|
| 02:18:03 | >> All right.
|
| 02:18:05 | >>> The boston highlight pick we
have as well this morning?
|
| 02:18:08 | A mess there as well.
|
| 02:18:09 | So many places.
|
| 02:18:10 | So much snow.
|
| 02:18:12 | Rob marciano, the stuff is piled
up now.
|
| 02:18:14 | Is it going to be melting any
time soon?
|
| 02:18:18 | >> You know, I'm thinking may,
april, yeah, we should get a
good strong melt going with this
one.
|
| 02:18:22 | >> Very nice.
|
| 02:18:23 | >> It's going to be slightly
above freezing today so that
will help a little bit.
|
| 02:18:27 | Not horribly cold.
|
| 02:18:28 | Here are the latest numbers.
|
| 02:18:29 | Check this out.
|
| 02:18:30 | Central park now coming in at 19
inches.
|
| 02:18:34 | A foot and a half in central
park!
|
| 02:18:36 | My goodness.
|
| 02:18:37 | Philadelphia, 15 inches.
|
| 02:18:39 | Newark got almost 19 inches.
|
| 02:18:42 | Norwalk and new cannan,
connecticut 17 and 18 inches of
snow and came down in a hurry.
|
| 02:18:50 | It came down in a 24-hour period
and winding down in boston.
|
| 02:18:54 | I think they got a foot or maybe
an inch or two less than that.
|
| 02:18:57 | Winds, we saw 40 to
50-mile-an-hour winds and a
number of people without power
especially maryland and delaware
where the snow is mixed with
sleet and freezing rain and
weighed this down.
|
| 02:19:07 | This was a heavy wet snow event
which is different from the
blizzard which was dry and
fluffy and blowing around quite
a bit.
|
| 02:19:15 | A beast nonetheless and making
it difficult to clear away when
you have that much weight in
something you try to move
around.
|
| 02:19:20 | Temperatures right now around 30
in boston.
|
| 02:19:23 | Temperatures around the freezing
mark in new york city.
|
| 02:19:26 | Behind the front is not terribly
colder air so we will see some
melting today but mostly on the
roadways where they are treated
with salt and on the sidewalks.
|
| 02:19:34 | But the bulk of the snow which
is piled up on the sides is
going to hang around and will
refrigerate the air tonight.
|
| 02:19:40 | Temperatures will easily get
below freezing tonight.
|
| 02:19:46 | kennedy and battling to
get open the runways.
|
| 02:19:49 | Regardless a number of flights
canceled and there is going to
be delays where the flights have
not been canceled.
|
| 02:19:55 | will
see delays.
|
| 02:20:01 | Chicago and minneapolis,
detroit, cleveland, yeah,
another snowstorm that is
barreling across the western
great lakes.
|
| 02:20:07 | Here it is.
|
| 02:20:07 | This isn't the blockbuster event
that we saw with this last one,
but, nonetheless, it's got snow
and warm and windy out west.
|
| 02:20:15 | You might see a couple of more
inches of snowfall in new york
city come tomorrow afternoon
with this next one.
|
| 02:20:20 | That may put you over the edge
for the snowiest month ever set
february of last year.
|
| 02:20:26 | Two years in a row for a
blockbuster winter.
|
| 02:20:31 | Guys, buy your gear and hold
