here's what it looked like in new york city this morning. in fact, some 8 inches of snow being brought by that blizzard, far more than that outside the city, and this storm has also been a killer. at least 18 poem have died across the affected states, including a 36-year-old pregnant woman here in new york. she was hit by a mini snowplow as she loaded groceries into the trunk of her car. her baby boy was delivered by emergency caesarean section. flights have been canceled across the country affecting travelers thousands of miles away from the storm itself. the first part of friday looks to be little better for air travelers as the airlines scramble to get planes where they need to be. >> i've been here since 2:00 yesterday afternoon, and i'm leading tomorrow at 7:30 if my plane is on time to get down at about 9:00 tonight. >> i turned and my wheel went too fast, caught the ice and turned all the way around and hit my right side on the parking sign. >> reporter: amtrak has cancelled some trains in the northeast and the south. many other commu

more than 28 inches in new york. such weather not only makes travel a nightmare but it is hitting our pocketbooks too. just one storm system, the three-day polar vortex in january, put a $5 billion chill on the economy and that's not all. an estimated 60 million american households will see their heating bills jump 50%, a $4.5 billion hit. while flight disruptions cost another $2.5 billion in flights for passengers and hotels and meals. >> well over 100 million people frozen in place, unable to get out and spend money. that is then trickling down to the overall economy. we are going to be feeling that for another month or two months. >> reporter: at airports in the northeast, hopeful passengers are settling in for extended delays, grabbing naps and playing cards. >> my brother won a trip to go to the super bowl. so it was all free. so i can't complain about delays on my flight too much. >> reporter: there were at least 1600 flight delays or cancellations here in the northeast alone today. one of those delays involved

"the new york times" benefited from the wikileaks story. "the new york times" decided that it would send a team of reporters to another newspaper in england where the information already was, so it was no act of journalistic genius to go over there and pick up that information and then put it into the times. so what does that mean about the times and a fitting from -- "the times" benefiting from wikileaks? is that a good thing? are they to be proud of the fact that they made that decision? >> you should really ask arthur sulzberger that. >> bill keller. he was seated here, and i did ask him. >> what did he say? >> he made an effort to answer it, which is more than you are doing. [laughter] you see, i'm trying to understand. >> the reason i am dodging this question and i am dodging it is because -- >> did you notice? >> is because it is a hugely complicated question, and i have not dealt with the raw material, the legal bit. i have not been deeply involved than i do not want to freelance on it. >> ok. then i will put it this way.

maria in white plains new york and in atlanta is jennifer gray. we're going to start with you people are concerned about crops and livestock. >> reporter: so many people got stuck on the interstates during a big snowstorm. they're proud of the fact saying no one had to spend the night out there last night. no one was left stranded. they are having to deal way lot of abandoned cars saying it's okay for people to come back and pick them up if it's safe. the way the weather is now, that's a bit dicey. they're talking about how many traffic accidents they've had so far. 1,900 across the state. this time yesterday we were talking about the snowfall. look what's happening now. this started after dawn. it's been steady. this was cleared when we got up this morning. now it's covered again. they're saying stay off you the roads for your own safety plus the fact they want you to stay out of the way of all the plows and sand trucks they have out there to do their job to keep the roads passable. >> reporter: all right. so we see the situation there. we're goi

at what point did "the new york times" get involved? were you approached by "the guardian" with the documents or did you solicit them? >> i would say it was a delicate combination of those two things. we did not break the story, "the guardian" and "the washington post" did. that caused me a high degree of worry. >> what did it cause the news room? >> i think the news room was resolute. i think disappointed, as was i, that we didn't break the story. but it was not at the forefront of the psyche of my colleagues. but it was, you know, a concern of mine and i felt that we had had the very productive collaboration with "the guardian" on wikileaks. obviously "the new york times" broke the pentagon papers story, which president bollinger eloquently evoked in his opening remarks. and in 2005 we had published the first story about warrantless eavesdropping by the n.s.a. so, i felt all of that provided a very firm base, you know, that made a powerful argument that "the times" had a constructive role to play in these stories. actually, i've heard

the thing is the big media, led by the "new york times," almost all of them agree with the "new york times" and with the obamacare so of course the obama administration says it's not spending investments, then they all jump to the same tune and dance and that's the conservative critique of the mainstream media going back 40 years. they're always in lock and step with the media. jon: only the federal government can bring about combrouf manies in education, energy efficiency and job training? >> no. state governments can do it, too. that doesn't mean there isn't a role for federal government. in terms of job, obama has had a plan. there was a jobs bill. there was a number of things that can be done but being a republican so has not cooperated with the president's agenda. jon: some would say that's a good thing. >> i'm sure that many conservatives would say that's a good thing but what's the alternative plan from the right, one that has not really been revealed? what's the health care plan? what are they going to replace obamacare with? >> hold on. a bunch of republicans in the house ha

my father had to have his own "new york times." >> let me dive right into the news, then, and talk a little bit about the nsa and edward snowden. danielle ellsburg was quoted as say he was a hero. do you see him as a hero or traitor? >> i see him as a very good source. we have published many of the nsa and gchq documents that came from snow den, and so i view him as i did julian assaunge and wikileaks. as a good source. >> some things were published and some weren't. how do you make those decisions? >> we make those decisions trying to apply common sense balancing test where we respectively listen to concerns of the u.s. government that publishing a story will harm international security. we balance those concerns against the importance and newsworthiness of the investigation and our primary duty, which is to keep the public informed. >> this was a big story. were you personally involved? >> i was personally involved in the snowden material, and with dean bakai, "the times" fantastic editoring manager. "the guardian" were partners in the reporting off of the nsa material. we personal

"the new york times" is not the story. the story is why did the christie aides order the lane closings on the george washington bridge and then engage in what appears to be a cover-up to try to make it look like a traffic study. who knew what when. that's not a story about the "new york times" or anybody else. >> john heilemann, in terms of m.o. here, if this is all the way it seems, which is pushback or whatever the term is, i call it riding the ref, like in a football or basketball game. guys who get the courtside seats and yell at the ref all the through the game, hope thanksgiving can reduce the number of fouls on their team and get a couple on the other side. whatever their game is, it's obnoxious, but it's done in flackery. that's what flakes do. your thoughts. >> well, it is. i think there is something more specific going on. i agree with kate that the story shouldn't be "the new york times." but it's what the christie administration would like it to be there is no -- it's hard for people who watch this network and

because space is such a premium in new york city he can make this co-location argument. he is claiming it is the inferiority of these schools that is the problem with them. we all know when you described how charter schools work, de blasio's problem here is that the schools do work. not that they don't work. because they do work, it makes them a threat to traditional public schools. he has a political interest keeping union column trough because unions support democrats, including bill de blasio. this is about the adults that run the school system. it's not about the kids. these schools, not only are doing better in terms of student outcomes, in terms of test scores, graduation rates, college attendance, they are safer schools down the line. these kids are better off than their peers in traditional public schools. >> arne duncan has spoken in favor of charter schools. have they spoken up here about new york so far? >> no. they basically have been silent. if you look at what's been going on in louisiana, too, they say this is civil rights issue of the time, but at the sam

both new jersey and new york declared snow emergencies. new york state police lieutenant gene hallenbeck. what's the most common call? >> cars usually sliding off the roadway because tires are inadequate. also they can't stop or start and they'll get stuck in a spot and we have to get a tow truck to pull them out of a ditch or something like that. >> reporter: a lot of that today? >> yes, yes. >> reporter: on the southern edge of the storm, ice bent tree branches and snapped electric lines. 750,000 customers a n pennsylvania lost power the, most since superstorm sandy. maryland is warning 155,000 customers it may be days until their electricity is restored. scott, utility crews are rushing to get the power back on to homes and businesses before another storm rolls through this weekend. the early forecast calls for more snow from chicago to the northeast. >> pelley: it just doesn't let up. terrell, thanks very much. analysts estimate that the weather this season has cost the economy about $10 billion. that includes lost productivity, worker
