this man airlifted to safety. flooded streets swallowing cars. now a second dangerous storm is on the way. and game time. super bowl sunday is here. the patriots and the rams taking the field in just a few hours. the rookie versus the veteran. the megawatt parties overnight. ♪ there goes my hero plus, bob kraft with cardi b. >> can i try one of those bad boys on? >> yes, you can. and our kid correspondent getting a little help from a football legend. we're still marveling over that bob kraft and cardi b dance-off. >> i'm worried about his hamstrings. >> might need an ice pack after that. good morning, everybody. thanks so much for joining us. it is super bowl sunday. excitement already building, hours away from kickoff at the mercedes-benz stadium in atlanta. >> dan and whit are split over who will be taking home the vince lombardi trophy. i'm separating them.

>> we're split, but he knows he's wrong. the patriots will win. >> we'll explain to dan who s l show. >> well played. >> he's not an opera singer. i promise. >> all right. i know when i have lost. i'm going to move on now. we have all the pregame action, plus an in-depth look at the matchup coming up. first here, our top story of the morning, the governor of virginia coming out to say he's not stepping down. just to recap here, on friday governor northam admitted that he was in this racist yearbook picture from 1984 where you see one person in blackface, and another person in a kkk outfit. on saturday however the governor held a news conference to say it wasn't him after all. >> but while denying he was in that picture, he did admit to wearing blackface at another time. >> let's go to abc's zachary kiesch in richmond where the governor's explanation doesn't appear to be going over very well. >> reporter: good morning, guys. the governor is adamant it was not him, and despite calls for his resignation, he says he's not going anywhere.

we're actually just outside the governor's mansion this morning, the site of that remarkable press conference. virginia governor ralph northam walked into a press conference, then walked back his own comments. after initially acknowledging he was one of two people in this 1984 medical school yearbook photo, he's now saying, after a closer look, it wasn't me. >> it's not me. >> reporter: northam now claims the picture was on the wrong yearbook page. >> my believe that i did not wear that costume or attend that party stems in part from my clear memory of other mistakes i made in the same period of my life. >> reporter: the governor acknowledged he did wear blackface, but that was for a dance contest dressing up as michael jackson when he was 25 years old. >> i look back now and regret that i d harmful legacy of an action like that. >> reporter: he continued with this anecdote about that night.

glove and i used just a little bit of shoe reason i used a little bit is because i don't know if anybody has ever tried that but you cannot get shoe polish off. >> reporter: this stunning 40-minute press conference turned bizarre at times. at one point, a reporter asking northam if he can still moonwalk as he had in that 1984 dance contest. the governor appeared to consider trying to dance before his wife intervened. >> my wife says, inappropriate circumstances. >> reporter: a long list of politicians from both sides of the aisle have called for him to resign. >> he just made it worse. the idea that he's going to come out yesterday and say that he was in the picture, today deny it, he is completely tone deaf. >> reporter: overnight, the president weighing in on the growing controversy tweeting, un protesters, including some who voted for him on the promise of bringing people together, demanded he step down. northam says he was unaware that

blackface was hurtful to black folks until later in his life. >> do you think as a grown adult that it's problematic that you need to have it explained to you that blackface is offensive? >> no. i'm not a person of color, and people of color experience hem differen.ngs. >> reporter: it was a truly unforgettable press conference. now the governor is suggesting that this incident can be used as a tool for healing, but beyond those photos, there are big questions about a racist nickname that was posted in an undergraduate yearbook. dan? >> our own zachary kiesch confronting the governor right there in virginia. zachary, thank you very much. let's bring in our chief anchor george stephanopoulos who will be hosting "this week" later this morning. good morning. >> good morning. >> so many democrats are doubling and tripling down on their calls -- >> can you name one who hasn't? >> there are a few who didn't at first, but now even most of them are coming out to say, this guy's got to go. is there any mechanism to force

him out or can he continue to bluster his way through this? >> i don't see how he can survive this. you've now got both senators, both democratic senators from virginia, the leading african-american, the dean of the congressional delegation, bobby scott, calling for him to go as well. democrats universally calling for him to go. if he continues to be defiant, i suppose they're going to start impeachment proceedings although it would be difficult to figure out exactly what the grounds are given the fact that this has not dealt with his time in office. i don't see any way the governor will be able to survive because he has basically no support right now. the democratic party has unified itself against what happened there, against the governor. >> what about the democratic party nationally? we're heading into this 2020 presidential campaign. it has already started. you will have a presidential hopeful on your show this morning. what impact does this story have on the campaign as it starts to heat up? >> what you saw is they want to make sure it has no impact at all. the democrats want to be the party of diversity going into the 2020 election, the party that has stood up against white

supreme similarism and racism in all its forms and want to show zero tolerance for any kind of racism. that's why you saw so many democrats, including just about every presidential candidate coming out and saying immediately, northam has to go. >> george stephanopoulos, thank you very much. great to see you on a sunday morning. i want to remind you george has a big show. he's going to have much more on the northam story later on "this week." plus he'll interview this gentleman, the new 2020 presidential hopeful mayor pete buttigi buttigieg. that's coming up right here on abc. and tune in on tuesday where george will lead our political team in the live coverage of the state out of the union and the democratic response. it all starts at 9:00 eastern. george, thanks again. >> thank you guys. >> appreciate it. to the breaking story overnight. one police officer killed, another wounded in a standoff with a gunman. >> that suspect in cincinnati, ohio barricading himself in this apartment. abc's stephanie ramos joins us

this morning with the new details. stephanie, good morning. >> reporter: eva and whit, good morning. it is a tense scene outside of that apartment complex just coming to an end a short time ago. here's how it all started. overnight, a standoff in an apartment complex erupted into gunfire, killing one sheriff's deputy and injuring another. the incident taking place just outside of cincinnati. authorities say they were responding the a call about a disturbance last night around 7:00. a suspect then apparently barricaded himself inside the apartment, saying he had weapons. just this morning, a fire was reported at the scene. at one point, police say the suspect started firing rounds. two sheriff's deputies were hit. >> two deputies from clermont county sheriff's office were struck. one is in stable condition at university of cincinnati hospital. the other deputy has passed away. >> reporter: authorities reportedly used megaphones to negotiate with the suspect. that suspect is now in custody following that 12-hour long

standoff, and guys, it was a very tense and chaotic scene for residents and officers there overnight. >> stephanie ramos covering the breaking news this morning. thank you. we'll move to the actor jussie smollett back on stage. >> the "empire" star speaking out for the first time since telling police he was assaulted in a racial attack. abc's erielle reshef joins us with more. erielle. >> reporter: good morning to you guys. it was an emotional appearance. the star breaking from his performance to address the alleged attack in chicago last week telling fans he's okay and fighting back against his critics. ♪ overnight, "empire" star, jussie smollett making his first public appearance since reporting he was brutally attacked. [ cheers ] taking the stage at this soldout concert at the famous troubadour in west hollywood. >> these last four days i would not have been able to get through it without obviously my family, but also the love and support of all of y'all. >> reporter: smollett pushing forward with an emotional performance days after he said he was assaulted in chicago by

two hooded assailants shouting homophobic and racist slurs. >> i was bruised, but my ribs were not cracked. they were not broken. >> reporter: smollett fighting back tears, saying the show had to go on. >> in times of trauma or hurt or grief, we still have a responsibility to lead with love. and if we don't, then we just die inside. >> reporter: the actor telling chicago police tuesday, one of the men put a noose around his neck. in a later interview with detectives claiming they yelled maga country as they beat him and then doused him with a bleach-like chemical. authorities only turning up this surveillance image of two shadowy persons of interest seen walking nearby. >> i love you with all my heart. >> reporter: smollett reassuring fans, friends and family he's okay, and appearing to slam critics who say his story may have changed. >> with the hateful rhetoric that gets passed around, it has to stop, and it has to -- guess what? it stops with the people that believe in love.

we have that power. >> reporter: and in that soldout audience last night "empire" series creator lee daniels and smollett's family. police say they are making gains but there have been no arrests. a lot of people waiting to see what will happen there. >> absolutely. a lot of questions in the case. erielle, thanks so much. we want to transition to another big story on this super bowl sunday. of course, we are just hours away from the head-to-head between the rams and the patriots. >> and the patriots quarterback assembling his brady bunch on the field ahead of the game as he makes super bowl history yet again as the oldest player to start. abc's t.j. holmes is in atlanta with more. good morning, t.j. >> reporter: you know, eva, i really need to get everybody to stop talking about this man's age and how old he is and he's the oldest this and that because tom brady and i, well, we're the same age and it doesn't make me feel good. that's pretty much where our similarities and accomplishments end. yes, there's a lot on the line coming up in this game today

here at the super bowl, a lot of history on the line but there's a lot on the line also for law enforcement as well as the halftime performance. >> reporter: the last time these two teams met in a super bowl, the rams were the st. louis rams and tom brady was an unknown 24-year-old quarterback leading the underdog patriots to their first super bowl win. my, how things have changed. 17 years and 5 super bowl rings later, brady is a legend, and he's now taking on the youngster, rams quarterback jared goff, who was just 7 years old when brady won that first championship. patriots head coach bill belichick has been working in the nfl longer than rams head coach, sean mcvay, has been alive. >> having been in all those positions myself, special teams, offense, defense, assistant coach, play caller, head coach, you know, you have a appreciation for everybody's spot there in the roster. >> reporter: at just 33, mcvay is the youngest coach in the league and could become the youngest to ever win a super

bowl. >> you appreciate the magnitude of this game. it's a blessing to be here. our players and coaches have earned right to be here. >> reporter: atlanta expected a million people to visit the city in the lead-up to super bowl sunday, though the majority of them won't be lucky enough to get a seat inside the brand-new, 71,000-seat mercedes-benz stadium, and as always, law enforcement has taken extensive security measures to protect the game and surrounding areas. >> they're here to watch the super bowl, they're here to watch over it. >> reporter: controversy over this year's halftime show is taking some of the spotlight from the game itself. maroon 5 is set to perform alongside travis scott and big boi. they have been criticized for their participation. several artists reportedly turned down offers to perform at halftime and cardi b told me this week that she also refused to perform in support of colin kaepernick, the former 49er who is still without a job after taking a knee during the national anthem. maroon 5's lead singer adam levine addressed the controversy on "entertainment tonight".

>> most recently i think i wanted to make sure we were able to speak, once again, through the music. >> back live now with t.j. last night they handed out the league mvp award. who won that award? >> reporter: well, this was one that there wasn't a whole lot of debate about. you can debate rams-patriots, who's going to win that, that might be close but not really close of who's going to become the mvp of the league. he was pretty much a shoe-in. we're talking about patrick mahomes. he had a breakout year, second year in the league but first as a starter for the chiefs. he got 41 of the votes. drew brees got nine. so it wasn't even close here but patrick mahomes did something in his first year as a starter that only one other quarterback in history has done and that is throw for 5,000 yards and 50 touchdowns. only one other player has done that. you know who that other player was, peyton manning. so a special year for mahomes. >> t.j., for somebody like me who is a little older and wiser, do you agree that the patriots

are likely to win today? >> reporter: dan, i'm not in the habit of picking winners but how can you go against brady and belichick. these guys have been around so long. they've done it so well together for so long. of course you've got really the smart brain, the young coach over there, sean mcvay, which everybody says is a whiz kid and he's got young goff but how do you go against brady and belichick? >> and gronk. >> can't argue with that. by the way, dan harris, note the sports analysis from t.j. there. we'll take our guidance from you t.j. instead of dan harris in the future. >> fair enough. t.j., thank you. we'll see you in the next half hour with more on the super bowl pre-parties. now we'll transition to a quick note on a much less amusing story. 14 people including children injured in a bus crash saturday evening in west virginia. the charter bus was carrying the martinsburg high school girl's basketball team and it careened off interstate 64 and rolled over. 1 of the 12 injured students had to be airlifted to a trauma center in charleston. this morning, there is word that

all of the injured, including the girl who was airlifted, have been released and are doing well. the cause of the crash is under investigation. turning to a massive storm taking aim on fire-ravaged california. >> stunning pictures showing how heavy rain is triggering mud slides and flooding on major highways. abc's marcus moore is there in los angeles where mandatory evacuations were lifted overnight. good morning, marcus. >> reporter: eva, good morning. that is the los angeles river behind me and you can see and hear the massive amounts of water as it rushing downstream. at one point it was high neve to leave debris on the banks. in other parts of the flooding there was dangerous on streets. residents now recovering from a relentless deluge, triggering flash flooding and mud slides in southern california. >> the driveway was completely flooded and it looked like a waterfall. the water came through my garage and inside my house. >> reporter: the mud at times flowing like a river, violently snapping a tree here and snaking its way through neighborhoods

like this one in malibu. the flooded streets often leaving cars useless and underwater. a couch seen drifting into the middle of the road, and this santa maria resident describing a rude awakening. >> some guy woke me up telling me there was a tree on top of my car. >> reporter: pleas for help saturday all throughout the state. >> water flowing inside of the home, resident unable to get out. >> reporter: anaheim firefighters rescuing a woman trapped in this car crushed by a tree. you can see this dramatic rescue here in yuka valley, a helicopter fighting whipping winds to rescue an elderly man strapped in his car and more rescues like it. >> female stuck in the river bottom. >> we have swift water rescue in the river bottom. >> reporter: saturday morning, one rescue turning fatal. one first responder was killed rushing to help in a traffic accident. and we have gone through on and iajust aleig tea not yethe rain

expected to stay in this area at least until tuesday. dan. >> all right, marcus. thank you very much. we appreciate it. let's get over to rob now with the forecast. what's cooking? >> we have a couple of more pulses of powerful precipitation. didn't mean to illiterate like that but that's pretty much how it's lining up. we have half an inch in ten minutes across santa barbara county. we have a surge of cold air that will be dropping in as well. the pacific northwest will get into the action with this. maybe low elevation snow in seattle and portland, and then tomorrow morning, it's going to be some action as well with some rainfall across parts of san francisco, maybe some wind as well and look at all the white piling up in the mountains here as this cold low drops down and gets showery monday and tuesday. it lasts through tuesday, but the winter storm warnings have been posted and re flo waings will likely b areas where another one to two inches of rainfall is expected. we have seen five plus, and this is not a typo. up to 10 feet of snow in higher elevations of the sierras. there will be avalanche warnings

and very difficult travel up and over the mountains. that's a check on what's good sunday morning. i'm lisa argen waking up to the storm impact scale today of one. wewz have scattered showers, less than a half inch and winds less than 25 miles an hour throughout the day. it's mid-50s, 57 in fremont, but tonight we're looking at more heavy rain by about 10:00 through midnight. that takes us into monday with more showers and it's going to get cold. in fact, snow levels lowering locally for some snow in the higher elevations. they hate it when i pop my "ps" in this microphone. so no more "p"s for the rest of the broadcast. >> nobody knows what that means in tv land. >> pop the "ps"? >> yeah. >> how do you say the patriots are going to win? >> i'm not going to say that. i'm going to take the high road, the accurate road.ling.les ven. hawaii couldecome the

>> wowte >>he pwould ro out in stages, initially making it illegal for anyone under the age of 30 to buy cigarettes and then in five years banning all sales. the proposal which is being met with mixed feelings could go into effect as early as this year. >> that is a total change in culture. look at where we are compared to where we were 20 years ago, regarding cigarettes, if that happens. speaking of a range of emotions, we have some here at the desk about who will take home a super bowl win. so we went to some experts to see what they have to say. for the 12th year in a row, hugh and buffett, two manatees from the moat marine laboratory and aquarium in naples, florida have placed their bets. hugh is going with the l.a. rams while buffett picked the patriots, looks like buffett has the winning record. >> really? >> he has predicted the winner 9 look at the wisdom on his face. >> he's due for a loss just like tom brady.

>> really cute. >> hugh doesn't have a great track record. >> but he is streamlined. he's very fast, eats well, swims. he's an active manatee. >> he eats well and swims. >> he does. >> they should change buffett's name to buffet. >> i'm hoping it isn't buffet. >> maybe he was studying. that's why. >> right, right. >> thank you. appreciate it. >> you're welcome. coming up on "gma," caught on camera. look at this. a teenage girl tased inside of her high school. her father not happy about this. he's coming out to say this never should have happened. you will hear from him coming up. plus, we're taking to some of the hottest star-studded super bowl parties. the performances overnight ahead of the big game. and it's the veteran quarterback versus the rookie in an in-depth look at the matchup. which team could have the edge with espn nfl analyst darren woodson. we'll be back with that and much more. >> we'll make darren woodson compete against a manatee? >> buffet the manatee versus woodson. who wins? when "gma" comes back.

bowl champion with the dallas cowboys. the big storyline in this super bowl is veteran tom brady versus that rookie, jared goff. the biggest age difference in super bowl history. who do you think has the edge based on your experience? >> well, just off experience, you know, this is bill belichick's 100th time being in the super bowl. he has seven rings to go along with that. as a head coach, five rings, two as an assistant. so the experience is there. he understands what it takes to get his team ready and prepared for the week coming up, and not only that, but being able to navigate the festivities along with the practices. that's what bill belichick has been dealing with for most of his career. so he understands that. the edge would go to bill belichick as far as the preparation, the experience of the super bowl, but at the same time, you can't count out sean mcvay. he has done a wonderful job with his team. they have been probably one of the most successful teams throughout this season, so they will be ready to play regardless. >> many are saying this will be a high-scoring game.

vegas has new england favored to win just so slightly. do you think this will be a close game or will it be a complete blowout? >> no. i think this is going to be a close game. if you have seen the history of the patriots, every time they play in a super bowl, it's always a close game. most of those games are decided by three points or less. i'm looking at both of these teams as far as, you know, i think it's going to be a close game early on. they'll keep it close to the vest but in the second half both offenses will open up and it will become a slug fest. two high-scoring teams and any time in the third or fourth quarter, i can see these teams putting up 20 or 30 points. >> looking at the quarterbacks of those two teams, you have brady versus goff. who has the edge in this game? >> well, of course, you go back to the experience in tom brady. he has seen it all. he has already taken these tests. he understands, you know, everything exactly like bill belichick. he understands this experience. he understands how the -- how to

approach a super bowl. jared goff is in his first super bowl. so we're still waiting to see how he approaches this game and if he has the jitters, if he can get over those jitters early in this football game because in the end, jared goff is going to be counted on to win this football game in the fourth quarter. >> it's going to be a good one to watch and there is going to be lots of food and lots of commercials and lots of fun. that's how we like it, right? >> absolutely. lots of food. >> darren woodson with espn, thank you so much for joining us this morning. and coming up on "good morning america," the huge night of celebrity sightings ahead of the big game. we'll take you inside those exclusive super bowl parties coming up. coming up. i realize i love you, but as long as you're with jessica, there can never be anything between us. listen cassie, there's no need to cry. besides, i've got really great news. you're leaving jessica? no. i just saved a load of money on car insurance by switching to geico.
