seems to literally be stuck. demarco, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. it is absolutely beautiful out here. but make no mistake about it, it is also dangerously cold. in fact, locals here in niagara falls are predicting that by the end of the month, this entire place will be completely frozen. the bone chilling freeze has turned parts of niagara falls into ice. on the canadian side, the area around the horseshoe falls has been frozen solid for days. from coast to coast, bitter cold is gripping the country. in texarkana arkansas, the intense cold froze this fountain from top to bottom. and washington state near the british columbia border, a powerful ice storm took down power lines and damaged more than 30 poles. and in apex, north carolina, three hunters had to be rescued after icy water their boat had just broken through froze again. >> it can get really cold really quick on days like that out

the steadiest snowfall rates through the day on friday. we're talking about totals over a foot in eastern maine. a widespread 3 to 6 across new england. there will be some in massachusetts with 1 to 2 inch an hour snowfall rates. travel slick through the day on thursday. there will also be some amounts very localized off the east side of lake ontario, over a foot, as we head through the day on friday. >> danielle, thank you very much. south korea is offering the first high level talks with north korea in more than two years. the overnight offer comes in response to a new year's speech by north korean dictator kim jong-un. he said he's considering sending a delegation to next month's winter olympics in south korea. in the same speech, kim made new threats against the u.s., saying the entire united states is within range of our nuclear weapons. major garrett is at the white house with the challenge confronting president trump. major, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. the president returned here from florida monday, facing hot new rhetoric from north korea and a

burst of anti-government demonstrations in iran. there is no clear path to resolve the former or capitalize on the latter. president trump's arrival after dark monday at the white house came as north korean dictator kim jong-un marked the new year with more nuclear threats. kim claimed to have a nuclear button on his desk and warned that all of the u.s. mainland is within striking distance. >> we'll see, we'll see. >> reporter: the president reacted cautiously at his new year's eve bash at mar-a-lago, telling guests adversaries should take notice. >> we have some pretty good enemies out there but step by step they're being defeated. they're some bad people. bad people. but that's okay. someday maybe they'll love us. i don't know. >> if we blink, god help us all. >> reporter: on "face the nation," south carolina senator lindsey graham warned 2018 could be a year of, quote, extreme

danger. >> 2018 is going to be the year to deny north korea the capability to hit the homeland. sanctions will never work completely without the threat of credible military force. >> reporter: in iran, violent protests calling for political change entered their fifth day. the president reacted on twitter, writing, iran is failing at every level. and claiming the iranian people are orepressed and hungry for food and for freedom. graham says the administration needs to develop a clearer strategy on iran. >> you just can't tweet here. you have to lay out a plan. >> reporter: the president must decide later this month whether to reimpose economic sanctions that were lifted in 2015 as part of the iran nuclear deal. >> a big decision. major, thank you. iran's supreme leader is accusing the country's enemies of causing the largest protests against the islamic regime in nearly a decade. according to iranian state tv, nine more people including a child died overnight. so far, the violence has claimed

at least 21 lives. more than 400 people have been arrested. elizabeth palmer has reported from iran many times. she is currently monitoring the protests from london. elizabeth, good morning to you. >> reporter: good morning. this all started last thursday with one isolated protest in a northern city called mashab. it was about food prices and economic hardship. such is the pent-up frustration in iran that overnight these protests mushroom and morphed until, now, they've affected more than 50 cities. in tehran, crowds vandalized one of the main shopping avenues. and in city after city, people have come out to protest, jeer and throw stones at the security forces. police have chased demonstrators away with water cannons in some area. and there have been isolated reports of shootings, impossibl

corruption and unemployment to lack of freedom and religious rule. they've even been vandalizing pictures of leader ayatollah khomeini, which is an act of defiance in iran. president rouhani, who is a moderate, went on tv and his response was surprisingly mild. he said people had a right to protest as long as there was no violence. other hard-line voices are now calling for a crackdown. authorities are desperate to get this unrest under control, but a brutal response like the one we saw in 2009, where security forces shocked people in the streets, could add fuel to the fire and turn this into a bloodbath. >> now, i've been speaking to contacts of ours in iran this morning. they say in the capital, things

are quiet but very tense. thousands of police on streets, both uniformed and undercover. normally, over the past two days, the demonstrations have been getting going around 5:00, so it's too early to tell whether this is going to spread even further or start to fizzle out. but of course the whole world is watching, alex. >> indeed it is, elizabeth, thanks. investigators in costa rica are trying to learn if strong winds caused a plane crash that killed ten americans. it happened near the town of punta islita on new year's eve. all ten people aboard died including a family from new york and another from florida. don dahler is here with new detail also of the crash. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. two investigators from the national transportation safety board here in the u.s. are traveling to costa rica to help with the investigation. costa rican officials say they're focused on two things that could have caused the crash, mechanical problems and weather. >> there's a human loss here

that's unspeakable. >> reporter: jacobson lost her brother, bruce steinberg, and his family in sunday's deadly crash. she says she's still waiting on the details of the investigation. >> i'm living a nightmare. my girls are living a nightmare. you know, i lost so much of my family. >> reporter: when the first responders arrived at the scene of the crash deep in the forest of costa rica, they found the wreckage of the single engine cessna in flames. the private charter flight operated by the airline nature air crashed just minutes after taking off from a small airfield on costa rica's west coast late sunday morning. the plane was headed to the capital city of san jose. av ache officials say before picking up passengers, the cessna attempted to land but winds of more than 28 miles per hour were too strong. the plane was forced to wait at a nearby airport before successfully attempting a landing a second time. 30 minutes later, the plane

departed with ten americans on board and crashed. olga villatoro was the family's longtime nanny. >> i don't understand. beautiful kids. respect me always. >> reporter: mitchell and lesley weiss were also on board with their teenage son and daughter. spencer hornsby lived next door to the family's home outside clearwater, florida. >> you never want it to happen to somebody you know and they were a good, good family. >> reporter: the two families on board were part of a tour group led by amanda geisslar, the tenth american lost in the crash. nature air is calling the incident an unfortunate tragedy and the pilot has more than 20 years of flying that model of aircraft. >> thank you very much. customs and border protection computers are running again after outages caused delays at major airports last night. thousands of international travelers in miami and other cities had to stand in long lines to clear customs.

the glitch shut down passport processing for about two hours. customs and border protection says there was no sign the disruption was malicious in nature. >> big headache for travelers nonetheless. the state with the most people is the newest to make recreational marijuana legal. hundreds of californians lined up to buy some. though pot is not yet available throughout the state. mireya villarreal is at a d dispensary near hollywood that begins sales today. >> reporter: out of the more than 400 businesses in california licensed to sell adult use marijuana, only about a quarter of them are actually selling it right now. as we are aware, we're standing this morning, is one of them. its owners tell me, like many in california, they've been gearing up for this historic moment for several years now. with the cutting of a green ribbon -- the dispensary opened

and kicked off legal sales of recreational legal marijuana monday. the first in line. >> to be able to walk in, show your license and make a purchase, it's been a long time coming. >> reporter: the milestone, which allows anyone 21 years of age and older to buy and possess recreational pot comes nearly two decades after california became the first state to legalize medicinal marijuana. lines popped up, longtime users to first-time buyers. >> the only thing it really surprised me was the number of people my age. i thought i was going to be the only grandfather. >> strain as well as the ratio -- >> this is absolutely going to be a recreational habit for me. i can just smoke a quarter of a blunt and have doritos and i'll be good. >> reporter: but not everyone's a fan. about a dozen california towns have reportedly bans recreational sales altogether. and law enforcement is concerned about a potential rise in drug driving. >> as has been the case in other states like colorado and

washington, we fully expect to see an increase in crashed due to marijuana usage. >> reporter: experts believe the new industry will generate billions of dollars for the state, bringing in an estimated $1 billion a year in tax revenue alone. >> i think it's really important that we have to end the stigma around marijuana. i'm an employed functioning adult and i also smoke weed and i don't think there's anything wrong with that. >> reporter: now that the doors are open here in california, more than 1 in 5 americans live in states where recreational marijuana can legally be purchased. however, the federal government still views this as an illegal controlled substance, comparable to heroin and lsd. alex. >> mireya, thanks. lottery players across the country have two giant prizes to aim for in the new year. an estimated $343 billion mega millions jackpot is up for grabs tonight. the first prize for tomorrow's powerball drawing has climbed to about $440 million.

dominating 24-6 win. this will be the crimson tide's third straight title game. also the second time in seven years that two sec teams will face each other for the championship. >> you can say the dogs beat the odds in that one, right? >> they did, yes. >> great night for them. a lot of dogs fans on twitter i noticed last night. one of youtube's biggest names apologizes for one of his videos. ahead, his attempt to explain why he uploaded a gruesome still on the scene of an early morning fire at cardboard good morning. high clouds blocking part of the view of the super moon early this morning. the sunrise is gorgeous. rain off the coast. we are waiting for it. it will not arrive until later tonight and early tomorrow morning. it will feel nice. mid to upper 60s for the area today. about 10 degrees above average on this tuesday.

clashes between security forces and anti-government demonstrators killed nine people, bringing the death toll to at least 21 in five days of protests, the largest since 2009. north korea's nuclear threat is another imminent issue. south korea is offering high-level talks with north korea next week. they would discuss cooperation during the upcoming olympics and improving ties. north korean leader kim jong-un said yesterday he is willing to send a delegation to the olympics. his new year's speech also featured nuclear threats against the u.s. national security adviser h.r. mcmaster told us last month that the president supports talks only if north korea takes steps to lower its nuclear threat. the eurasia group has a report out this morning of the top geopolitical risks we face in the new year. the eurasia group is the world's leading political risk research and consulting firm. eurasia group president ian bremmer is also a nbc news senior global affairs

contributor. ian, good morning. >> good morning, guys. >> happy new year. china is atop the list, why? >> well, because it's bigger. they have the strongest leader in xi jinping at least since mao, and because the united states is america first. it's unilateral, undermining a lot of alliances. put those things together and suddenly you actually have a china who is willing to engage in what is increasingly a geopolitical vacuum. in other words, this is the first time we've ever seen as u.s. leadership erodes, no one else has been handing up. now the leader of china is saying we're prepared to stand up, whether it's on climate or the global economy, you know, regional security, you name it. that's a big change for the world. >> regional partners are also looking to china, right, if they want an alternative to american leadership in the world? >> they are, because the chinese are writing really big checks. the chinese are the ones saying, no, we'll stand up, we'll do something about paris, we'll build a one belt, one road. you just saw trump yesterday tweeting and saying pakistan, you know, we're not going to

give them money anymore. they're not doing anything on terrorism. trump has a point, we need more from the pakistanis, but the chinese are already by far the most important economic contributor to pakistan. they didn't have those sorts of options five, ten years ago. this is a different environment, and we're just not used to having someone else out there that says, oh, the americans aren't the only game in town anymore. >> you go on to say that if you had to pick one year to have an unexpected geopolitical crisis, it is this year. >> yeah. >> what's the hotspot? what's the number one hotspot for you? >> oh, gosh, i mean, it could be north korea, it could be iran. you mentioned both those. could be cyber. the point is there are a lot of pieces moving around. and when you have an economic recession, everyone wants to put money into it, they want to get out. when you have a geopolitical recession and around the world no one saying, oh, we need to address it, we need to fix it. in many ways, in fact, the americans are abdicating, that's not a sustainable environment. that's when things are likely to go wrong. we've gotten through a year of the trump administration and thankfully no geopolitical crises. it's hard to view that as sustainable given what's happening in north korea and

iran right now. 2018 feels worse from that perspective. >> what do you make of what's transpiring in iran just over the weekend? >> well, in 2009, there were millions of people demonstrating. in 2018, we're still talking about thousands. lots of different cities. they don't have any particular leadership and they're not responding to any one issue. it's a bunch of grievances, most importantly the state of their economy and inflation on some basic goods. the bigger danger for iran right now is this is happening in an environment where the saudis have very strong u.s. support and where the americans aren't trying to do a nuclear deal. in fact, we're threatening to rip one up. so it's going to be much more polarized. the hardliners will feel like they need to take more control, crack more heads, even though this isn't nearly as much of a threat domestically. i think it's more of a geopolitical challenge, accordingly, in the region than it is a danger that the iranian regime is about to crumble. >> a global tech cold war is number three on your list. aren't we already there already? >> we're getting there. i mean, when you looked at

china, you recognize that they are increasingly the other game in town on anything involving ai and big technology. we have some of the biggest tech companies in the world. they have the others. we've got some of the best supercomputers. they have the others. the different thing is, in the united states, it's not washington. our government isn't investing in ai. our companies are. >> yeah. >> in china, it's the chinese, right? and increasingly, with a trade conflict between the united states and china that's looming, that tech play is going to be a fragmentation, and other countries around the world, other companies are going to be looking and saying who do we need to play with. that competition's going to play out this year. >> amazing how you come back to china on most of the questions here, right? >> also trade. you talk about trade. mexico is also on this list, ian. >> yes. >> i think that surprises a lot of people. why is that? >> well, mexico, this is a year where they have a presidential election coming up, and anti-americanism, unfortunately, is going to suddenly be a really

big topic. no, they're not going to pay for the wall, but they're worried about nafta. that's 40% of their trade. we're saying we want to renegotiate, and it's going to get politicized. we all know that when topics that really matter to you happen to line up with elections, that's when you can make a lot of big promises that can go badly. mexico looks to come out of this year in a much more dangerous position than they entered it. >> hmm. interesting who's not on this list, vladimir putin and russia. we talk about russia on a daily basis now. why isn't russia on this list for you? >> for the same reason that trump's tweets aren't on this list. we talk about them a lot, but the actual impact on the global economy and the global environment is less than you think. putin -- the russian economy's smaller than canada's, it's smaller than italy's. and you know, ukraine, he took ukraine? no, most of ukraine he lost, and it's oriented towards the west. it's not oriented towards russia. he's largely out of syria. p putin's going to make headlines,

he's going to win an election, surprise, surprise, so not a big deal. >> so a lot of noise. >> when ian bremmer says it, i believe it. it's a great list, a compelling list. >> thank you. >> thank you for your time, ian. some of the biggest names in hollywood are turning outrage about sexual harassment into action. jodi kantor, whose reporting helped inspire the movement, is right here in studio 57. she looks at the new effort to support working women from film studios to still on the scene of an early morning fire at cardboard

the coalition called times up was announced yesterday and includes more than 300 prominent women in entertainment. the group vows to fight what it calls systemic inequality and injustice in the workplace, from hollywood to blue-collar workplaces. a legal defense fund will help less privileged women and men to protect themselves against sexual misconduct. cbs news contributor jodi kantor is here. her reporting for "the new york times" helped break the harvey weinstein story last fall. we were just talking about what a sign of the times it is when you're a celebrity in the green room and how the world has changed since your report came out october 5th. >> i was just doing my job it's an investigative reporter. >> well, what incredible work you've done, and obviously, it's evolved now to this timesup. how did that originate? >> so, after we and others reported on these revelations with harvey weinstein, but really throughout hollywood, hollywood women began organizing informally, gathering in each other's living rooms, and they say that they felt the competition between them that has always existed melt away

somewhat, and they shared these deep, personal stories, some of which have not been told publicly, and they found so many common strands. and they decided that together they wanted to use this window to change the business that they feel in many ways has kind of betrayed them. >> and this group doesn't just impact and focus on hollywood, as we mentioned. these are women, and men, in various fields, in various different ethnicities and various income brackets. >> probably the most interesting and ambitious part of this effort is that these top hollywood women are trying to reach across the economic divide and say we have a common experience with low-paid women, and we're going to devote some of our resources and our privilege to helping you as well. >> which is where part of the ford story came in. and talking about the economic climate. you mentioned the legal defense fund as well. i mean, that's part of this. it's helping folks who won't ordinarily be able to protect themselves. >> right. part of the goal of these wealthy women in hollywood is to

provide funds for lower paid women to protect themselves from harassment by using legal resources that are really expensive. it can be really expensive to come forward about sexual harassment in various ways, and so, they're hoping to provide some sort of security and resources for doing that. >> jodi, they want to change the landscape broadly. now, one piece of that that's pretty ambitious is changing the boardrooms, leadership. do you think this initiative can push more women into leadership roles, reconfigure that power balance? >> the first question is in hollywood. the role of agencies in hollywood has been problematic in this whole discussion, because as we reported, agencies often knew about harvey weinstein and would send the women into the hotel rooms anyway, and these were their clients they're supposed to be protecting, so agencies in some ways are on the defensive right now. and one thing that this group is asking for is much more parity in all sorts of hollywood leadership structures, including

at the agencies. and so, part of the question is two years from now, is the leadership of hollywood going to look different? >> and we've got the golden globes coming up this sunday. needless to say, it will be quite different from past golden globes awards, and there's talk about a lot of women in solidarity wearing black, but there is some controversy about it as well from some who say that's not enough. >> well, i think this is just going to be a fascinating awards show to watch. >> yes. >> with a very different dynamic than in past years, because you've got a lot of ingredients here, right? this is the first time that hollywood has really convened publicly since the weinstein and the other revelations. you've got the red carpet, which is pretty retro from a gender point of view. women are paraded down the red carpet, are expected to smile, look beautiful, usually not say much, et cetera, et cetera. so what eva lohn gangoria said e piece was we're not willing to be ornaments this year. we're not willing to go out and sell this awards show without

asking some of the big questions about power in hollywood. then you've got the question of what people will actually say when they're asked about these issues. >> fascinating to watch. >> there is going to be a lot of black on that red carpet is what i would imagine. we will be watching it carefully. >> jodi kantor, thank you very much. >> thank you. the coast guard is busy every day saving lives. ahead, how sailors were in the right place at the right time to rescue a florida driver. you're watching "cbs this morning." you're. whatting c -- you're watching cbs this morning.

>> what the research article documented is that when girls say "no," they are often then pressured. they're asked repeatedly. they sometimes face harassment. they sometimes face threats. they are sometimes cut off from relationships. this has been going on among teenagers for awhile. i respect the researchers for bringing it to light. it's something i hear about from the teens i work with. it's something that teen girls have largely dealt with alone. >> this is defined as a new relational norm, though. i think it's shocking to a lot of people who were not aware it was going on. how does it end? >> i think there's lots of ways it ends. one, obviously, bringing it to light. i think the other thing is, we made a practice to saying to teens don't send nude photos. we haven't made a practice of saying don't ask for nude photos. one of the important things we need to do is recalibrate the norm and set rules around this. >> and the research also shows a lot of girls feel pressured to send these photos. what are some of the

conversations that parents and teachers can be having with their children? >> well, i think what we need to say to our kids, whether we're in the role of the schools or parents, we need to say, look, don't send nude photo. it puts you in an awkward position socially and legally. don't ask for nude photos. it puts somebody else in a terrible position. you talk about the harmful premise girls play offense and boys play defense. >> i've been a practicing psychologist for a long time. one of the things i had to come to terms with, when we talk with teens, usually the sub text is, all right, ladies, we're going to ask you to regulate adolescent sexuality because we're not asking the boys. that's something i changed in my work with teens. i think we need to change it when we talk about and to teens in general. we're going to ask them to be fair and equitable. boys and girls, in terms of how they handle themselves in the relationships.

>> how would should children be when parents start having those conversations? it's interesting, this research started with 12-year-olds who were saying they getting requests for photos. >> wow. >> i think, you know, you probably want to get at the head of it. the second you hand over a phone to the teen, you know, there are a lot of rules you want to make. i think a great rule is don't do anything with the phone you wouldn't want your grandmother to see. right. that's a good way to start it. but then i think, you know, it's time to start moving that conversation up as kids move into sixth, seventh, eighth grade we hear about this happening. >> young. >> when you hear about people sexting in the digital age and their response it's the new norm. your answer is what? >> well, within i think what we need to say is, you know, sure adults do it. right. that's a completely different ball game. you're above the age of 18. i think what we need to appreciate is norms are created in part by rules. and so if we have no rules saying don't ask for pictures, we're not creating the norms we want to create. so i think we need to actually

take that extra step and make a rule for all teens. girls and boys. don't ask for the pictures. >> it's an uncomfortable subject matter for teens and for parents and teachers to be discussing but very important. >> it is. and i think it's one they've been dealing with, largely, without adult support. we owe them support for how they're going to conduct their relationships now. because that lays the groundwork for how they conduct their relationships at adults. >> great tips, lisa. thank you so much. cbs sports contributor is the only woman in the pro football hall of fame. woo hoo! she's in our toyota green room this morning. ahead, how her mom, of all people, encouraged her to pursue a career that did not exist for cbs eye on the community...

we'll take you downstairs to the redskins locker room and here's lesley visser. >> it truly is hail to the redskins as they've delivered the third title to the nation's capital. it's a joub louse scene in here. >> that was 1992 becoming the first woman to present the trophy at the super bowl. she's broken barriers for 40 years. in 1995 she was the first woman to report from the sidelines of

the super bowl. she became the only woman to become in the football hall of fame and in 2009, the first nl analysts on tv. >> and she's still going. 35 super bowls. 35 ncaa final fours and ten olympics. he's also a contributor to we need to talk on the sports network, the first nationally televised all female sports show. her new book is sometimes you have to cross when it says don't walk. she shares her struggles and triumphs and we're joined now. you just brightened up our house. >> say it all again. >> but seeing what you've accomplished as a woman in an industry where your mom told you, you know, sometimes you have to cross when it says don't walk because there were no women in that field, how do you feel today now looking at what you've

accomplished? >> you know, i remember our great john madden who of course worked with cbs for so many years and you know, john said it's a strange thing, now you guys live this world too. congratulations to both of you, but you guys live this. he says it's a strange thing when you go from being the observer to the observed and so that's what i'm much more at home asking you guys about your background. i love to show that. >> but you knew you wanted to do this at 11 years old. >> my mother, we lived in cincinnati at the time and moved a lot as a kid which was great for sports and i said to my mother, i was like ten maybe or 11. i said, you know what i want to be a sports writer and my mother instead of at that time women were only three things, you know, nurses, teachers or homemakers and my mother instead of saying what, are you crazy? she said to me, grade, sometimes you have to cross when it says don't walk. >> but it was not an easy

journey to get from that 11-year-old to where you are now. talk about the doubt. i mean, your mother was obviously an empowerer, she empowered you in a lot of ways but how much skepticism did you meet along the way when you said this is what i want to do. >> plenty. i was sharing with someone that when i started there were no ladies rooms because there were no other women and what's the great movie, hidden figures and that was my life. i used to sit in the patriots press box, and i would say do i have time to go down the elevator across to the only public rest room and get back before the patriots puntded? so yes, i used humor was my default. i don't know what you guys use, but humor was mine and -- >> that's how you got through it. >> that's how i got through it. other people use other mechanisms but for me humor worked. >> when you talk to kids who

want to go into this business today, what do you say? and about how things have changed? >> you know, i just want people to -- like you guys, have a passion for what you do. if you don't love it, don't do it. i just love sports and maybe you guys growing up did you -- >> a little bit. >> but other kids, they love music or they love poetry or -- i just loved sports but i don't know. >> what were the tough -- when you were going through all of this, and breaking these barriers who were the most difficult sports to cover? >> i was a natural baseball because i grew up lovziing the d sox and we only got obnoxious lately. i was naturally a baseball fan and then i had the privilege of riding john madden's bus and we would watch the counter trail over and over on the footage and

so i just wagnnever -- all i st for was to be authentic. i think basketball is ooa easy r people to fall in love with. football is complicated. i was at the last jacksonville. do you remember in you don't want to remember. >> you don't remember to remember. >> but it was the last play, wasn't it of the game? >> yes, unfortunately it was. thank you for reminding me. >> now you're back at 'em. >> we talk about the most difficult sports to cover, who did you learn from the most talking to folks? you talked about madden a lot. who else did you learn from? >> yes, we've had all the greats. i mean, we had madden and we had lund kwi lun kwis and he has now created

this show and women, we need to talk, we really talk ball. you'd love it, jeff. >> i've seen it. >> yes. >> sports is a vehicle many times for story telling in general and you've witnessed some of the most historic events, good, sad that we've seen in sports and in the world. you covered the 1972 olympics and the murder of the israeli athletes. you covered the fall of the berlin wall in '89. what were those experiences like? >> thanks for asking that. my dad grew up in amsterdam, so to be sent to the fall of the berlin wall was so profound, you know, you guys know this, they walked for days to get through there and i was just one of many people from cbs and my little slice of the pie was how will sports change, because remember the great cat rina vit, so that was my slice of the pie. but i wanted to be -- anyone who

has a dream, i don't know what your dream was, what was yours, to play for the bills? >> it could still happen. >> it is an amazing story. you wading out in those ice cold parking lots to interview players not having a lady's room, how things have changed. you are a hero. it's a great book. thank you for your time. congrats. >> thank all of you. >> sometimes you have to cross when it says don't walk is on sale now and you can hear more on our pod cast on itunes and apple's pod cast app. tips on living a better life in 2018. you are watching cbs this morning. okay mcdonald's. i see your one, two and three dollar deals. tell you what, i'll raise you five. introducing value jack's way. five great ways to save. like i tell jack jr., it's all about big values, jr. prices. that's value jack's way.
