Investigators trying to determine if he was scouting targets in boston and chicago and theyre also uncovering more about his secret life. Our chief investigative correspondent brian ross is here with all of those details. Good morning, brian. Good morning, amy. Officials this morning say las vegas prostitutes have provided the most telling profile of Stephen Paddock. Known by them as a regular customer, a man without emotion, and cheap, except it seems, when it came to his plans for mass murder. Paddock spared no expense in the attack, even caring travel to other targets in chicago and boston. According to Law Enforcement officials, he booked rooms but never checked in at Chicagos Blackstone hotel in august. The same dates as the lollapalooza festival across the street in grant park. Attracting hundreds of thousands of people. Including one of president obamas daughters. Officials also tell abc news he conducted a Google Search for hotels around fenway park in boston. The ballparks capacity nearly 38,000 people. Instead, he stayed close to home where there was nothing cheap about his attack preparations. Experts say the weapons found in his hotel suite were highend and highpowered, the kind used by u. S. Special forces and commandos. Officials tell abc news some of the ammo was bought under a name not his leading to speculation of a possible accomplice in theres people that know this individual. Theres people that can help us understand this individual. Reporter and the fbi got some insight about paddock from an unlikely place, the reno car dealership where he bought this car on august 1st, paying cash with a check for 14,411. Not a sign of someone with financial problems. Marilou wanted to get a lexus but he said im not going to pay 10,000 more for a car with the same equipment. Reporter when danley went on a test drive, she told the sales person that paddock had saved her from a troubled marriage. She said she had a bad relationship prior to him and he had turned her life around and really helped her out. After a full day of questioning on wednesday by the fbi officials this morning say they still have more questions for Marilou Danley who maintains she had no idea her livein boyfriend was making plans to kill so many people. Brian, what about the other woman, this mystery woman weve heard so much about who may have spent some of those final days with paddock . Have you learned anything more about who that is . Authorities believe she was a lady of the evening, one of many who knew mr. Paddock well. Brian, thank you. We get new details about the gunmans final hours in that hotel before the rampage. More on that from our Senior National correspondent matt gutman who got that aerial view of the room. Good morning, matt. Reporter good morning, george. And from the air you get a sense of the scale of this massacre, those deadly bullets flying hundreds of yards but also the sky we were able to see all of that forensic work and that is going to be crucial for investigators to put together a motive here because Stephen Paddock didnt leave behind a manifesto, no cell phone calls, not even a suicide note. This morning a view inside his snipers nest from the sky. A helicopter bringing us to the las vegas strip. Inside one shattered window we see pillows stacked high on a stripped bed, the other partially blocked by plywood but inside investigators still carefully dissecting the scene thursday. Our flight following the bullets path right over the concert venue still a very active crime scene. When you look down in there you see evidence of this familyfriendly festival, hundreds and hundreds of lawn chairs, strollers, walkers, drinks still on tables, and then it looks like it was hit by a tornado. Fbi forensics teams shoulder to shoulder painstakingly scouring the site right there marking evidence with spray paint. Stephen paddocks storm of bullets traveling an incredible distance, at least a thousand yards, and on the ground, chaos, responders jumping into action helping to evacuate crowds unable to process the horror. Run. Dont walk. Reporter this morning, were learning more about the heroic actions of bystanders. This video shot by ray page who went back to get his truck which was parked nearby driving it right into the kill zone turning that white pickup into a makeshift ambulance. Do we have any other wounded people . Not right now. Reporter ray page driving them back up the strip to paramedics unable to get into the fire zone. I got five wounded. Gunshot wound to the chest here. Reporter we also learned more about paddocks final hours. The night before the shooting sources tell abc news paddock reportedly calling in two noise complaints about guests staying in the room below him. Floyd conradi was staying in the room immediately beneath one of paddocks snipers nesz. At what point did you begin to notice that something was wrong . By the third volley of shots. Reporter as those forensics teams continue to comb the site Family Members beginning to say their final farewells. Jamie robinson lost her beloved baby brother cameron. He was just 28. Does part of you ever wish that you could have been there with him . I wish i could have taken his place because he had so much going for him and i would have given my life in a heartbeat for him to go on. Reporter it was so gutting being with the victims Family Members. Las vegas has been in a state of shock this week, but now the mourning process is beginningmebeginning. You can see this memorial. 58 crosses with the name of the victim, flowers, candles. The memorials and the funerals begin next week. George. Wow. What a powerful image right there, so haunting. Another powerful image is this photo that was shared so many times by so many people, showing a hero shielding a woman from the gunfire. The u. S. Army confirmed the man in the photo is soldier matthew cobos. They called him the pet me of the american soldier. And really powerful. That gives you chills to see the heroism there. Oh, thanks for sharing that. You know we have a programming note. Abc news and 20 20 will air a special documentary presentation tonight at 10 00 p. M. Eastern on the heroism amid the tragedy, what happened in vegas. It airs tonight at 10 00 eastern, 9 00 central on abc. In the wake of the Las Vegas Shooting calls are growing to restrict the devices called bump stocks. They were used on a dozen of Stephen Paddocks guns, turning them into automatic weapons. Right now they are perfectly legal to buy. Our Senior Justice Department correspondent Pierre Thomas has more. Amy, good morning. The carnage in las vegas has left many in the country soul searching and something we havent seen in the wake of recent mass shootings, bipartisan dialogue about gun control and the nra actively engaged. After the tragedy in las vegas, republicans who often reject discussions of gun control at least willing to talk. Fully automatic weapons have been outlawed for many, many years so obviously we need to look at how we can tighten up the compliance with this law. Reporter now this from the nra. We ought to take a look at that. See if its in compliance with federal law and its worthy of additional regulation. That being said, we didnt say ban, we didnt say confiscate. Reporter an issue the gun accessory called a bump stock which allows a semiautomatic rifle to fire at about the same pace as a machine gun. Half of las vegas shooter Stephen Paddocks 23 gun arsenal stashed in his hotel room were rigged with bump stocks, effectively allowing him to fire 400 to 800 rounds per minute, thursday night President Trump asked if the accessory should be banned. Well be looking into that over the next short period of time. Reporter some have pulled bump stocks from their online inventory including walmart and cabelas an outdoor retailer. Talk of additional restrictions now has these items flying off the shelves. A lot are buying them because theyll be outlawed. Reporter the price of an ar15 bump stock jumped from 124 on this site to more than 2,000 and counting on this online auction. Exactly how many have been sold, we dont know. These devices are not really regulated, so no one can tell you. Thats incredible. All right. Thanks, pierre. Thank you, pierre. Were going to go to the white house now. We learned that President Trump is expected to decertify the landmark nuclear deal with iran and overnight the president raised a lot of eyebrows about this comment he made with the military leaders he invited to the white house. Take a look. Do you guys know what this represents . Tell us, sir. Maybe its the calm before the storm. Whats the storm . Could be the calm, the calm before the storm. What storm, mr. President . Youll find out. Lets bring in cecilia vega for more on this. Now, cecilia, you can look at it one way and say thats an ominous comment from the president , may mean nothing at although. So what is the white house telling you . Reporter crickets here but youre right, this could be President Trump being President Trump. He certainly likes to talk and make comments like this. But it is a cryptic comment given a number of the diplomatic issues that this administration is dealing with right now with iran as you mentioned and north korea. The press was summoned in for that event at the last minute because the president wanted to have this photo document with all those top military leaders there. You heard reporters ask specifically are you talking about isis, are you talking about north korea, iran . What storm are you talking about . The president said we will find out. You can bet, george, ill be asking about this at the briefing. No question about that. We do know the president wants to decertify the Iran Nuclear Deal next week. That doesnt necessarily mean its going to be abandoned. Reporter no, not at all. What this does mean is that the president is essentially contradicting many of his top military advisers. Secretary of state Rex Tillerson and defense secretary jim mattis have both said that the u. S. Should stay in this deal with iran, mattis this week said that this deal is in the best interest of america. Essentially what this decertification would do is kick it back to congress to decide whether to impose tough, new sanctions on iran and, guys, sources cautious it is not a done deal until the president speaks about it publicly. Hes expected to do it next week. Finally, Steve Mnuchin also our has plane issues. 800,000 in private military travel since the spring and Treasury Department concluding its not illegal but not necessarily appropriate either. Reporter exactly right. Were talking about seven trips since he took the job about 44,000 for one trip to a day trip to miami. The president is going to meet with mnuchin at the white house today. Cecilia vega, thanks very much. Michael. All right, thank you, george. We turn to the new developments in that nfl fallout. Overnight panthers quarterback cam newton broke his silence apologizing for comments he made to a female reporter. Abcs paula faris is here with more. Good morning, paula. Reporter good morning. That social media apology took nearly 28 hours but it was sincere, heartfelt and unscripted. At one point he invoked his two young daughters saying that he tries to instill in them they can do and be anything they want to be and he learned through this entire process that the joke was on him. Overnight more than 24 hours after the firestorm began after careful thought i understand that my word choice was extremely degrading and disrespectful to women. Reporter an apology from cam newton, tweeted to his 1 million followers. Im a father to two beautiful daughters and at their age i try to instill in them that they can do and be anything that they want to be. To the daughters, the sisters and the women all around the world i sincerely apologize and hope that you can find kindness in your heart to forgive me. Reporter his message of regret all because of this exchange with a female reporter. Devin funchess seemed to really embrace the physicality of his routs and making getting those extra yards. Does that give you a little bit of an enjoyment to see him kind of trucksticking people out there . Its funny to hear a female talk about routes. Its funny. Reporter and now the fallout from that press conference fumble, taking a financial toll. New dannon oikos reporter dannon, the maker of oikos saying it will no longer work with newton pulling all of his ads. Reporter and gatorade calling his comments disrespectful to all women. Sports commentators calling it sexist. Youre assuming because shes a female she couldnt possibly know whats going on. Reporter the reporter at the center of it all, jourdan rodrigue, was back on the job at panthers practice on thursday. But not commenting. Now, that entire apology was 1 45 long asking people to find it in the kindness of their heart to forgive him. It will be hard to watch that and question the authenticity of his contrition. You can tell he really meant it but there was a lot of pressure on him. He has two daughters, though. That does give some validity. He has to know what it feels like through his daughters eyes. Lets not let it damper Everything Else hes done so many have said. It takes a lot to apologize. It does. Thank you, paula.

Ginger is tracking it all throughout the morning. What a season it has been. We turn to the latest on Harvey Weinstein. The New York Times reporting allegations by numerous women who say the hollywood mogul sexually harassed them. His alleged victims over nearly three decades include stars like ashley judd and rose mcgowan. Now weinstein is threatening to sue the New York Times for defamation and lisa bloom who is defending Harvey Weinstein is standing by. First though we have abcs linsey davis with more on the story. Good morning, amy. That lawsuit is reportedly for 50 million. The New York Times quotes weinstein as saying i came of age in the 60s and 70s when all the rules about behavior in workplaces were different. That was the culture then. And now one of the most powerful men in hollywood says he is taking a leave of absence to, quote, conquer his demons. Hes the movie mogul behind some of hollywoods biggest blockbusters. Because i am so much crazier than you. Keep your voice down. Reporter an industry legend for so many alist stars. Harvey weinstein who believed in us and maze the movie. My friends at miramax for making this, especially harvey. Reporter politically well connected too, hosting a fundraiser for Hillary Clinton and hiring malia obama earlier this year as an intern. But now the New York Times reporting bombshell allegations against Harvey Weinstein, describing several accusations of Sexual Harassment against the studio executive worth 200 million and citing two Anonymous Company Officials Saying weinstein reached at least eight settlements with accusers. The alleged victims as reported by the times are all in varying positions, from an assistant to a model to a movie star. Ashley judd. Somebody help me. Reporter judd tells the times in 1997 while filming kiss the girls the then head of mere max studios invited her to a breakfast meeting at the Peninsula Hotel in Beverly Hills and judd tells the paper weinstein requested she come to irs room where he appeared in a bathrobe and asked if he could give her a massage or she could watch him shower. She told the times she felt panicky and trapped. Women have been talking about harvey for awhile and its simply beyond time to have the conversation publicly. Now weinstein is speaking out to the New York Post saying he bears responsibility for his past behavior but claims the times article is reckless reporting. Judd seen here at an Academy Awards party with weinstein after the alleged incident went on to act in two more movies produced by his studio, 2002s freida and 2009s crossing over. I am required to present it to you. Reporter the times also reports that a legal document produced showed rose mcgowan reached a 100,000 settlement with weinstein in 1997. Oh, you want to play psycho killer. Reporter as a result of an alleged episode in the sundance film festival. The document said the settlement was not an admission by weinstein. Mcgowan who declined to comment to the times tweeted after the article posted thursday, women fight on. And to the men out there, stand up. We need you as allies. Bebrave. The 65yearold father of five seen in this daily mail photo departing his new York City Office as news broke told the post he wants to earn the forgiveness of judd and his family stands by him. Hes been married to Designer Georgina Chapman since 2007. He told abc news in a statement that i appreciate the way ive behaved with colleagues in the past has caused a lot of pain and i sincerely apologize for it, though im trying to do better. I know i have a long way to go adding he is taking a leave of absence from work and working with therapists. Weinstein is now hitting back at the times claiming the report is, quote, saturated with false and defamatory statements and vowing to file that lawsuit. Hes now hired hulk hogans lawyer would won him a 140 million settlement against gawker. The New York Times tells abc news they are confident in the accuracy of their reporting. George. Okay, linsey, thank you. Joined by attorney lisa bloom advising Harvey Weinstein. I have to say im surprised youre here this morning. Youve been here in the past and represented women who have taken on bill cosby, bill oreilly, donald trump in Sexual Harassment cases. Why did you switch sides in this case . Ive known harvey for about a year and these rumors have swirled around him for a long time. And i said to him, you know, whats going on . This is not okay. And harvey and i had a lot of frank conversations about this. When this New York Times story was about to break and harvey expressed to me the same remorse that you see now, i said, we have to throw out the old playbook, okay. Youre not going to be attacking women. Youre not going to be disrespecting women. Youre not going to be digging up dirt on them and embarrassing them. Thats the tired old way to go. If you are genuinely remorseful, say so, admit what youve done wrong, apologize and lets have your actions speak for themselves. Lets get to that. Did he sexually harass women . I think harvey has acknowledged, yes, there was misconduct over a period of years. He has certainly a very bad temper and thats a big part of the problem. He is well known for that. A big, loud guy. People are intimidated by him. Im not. You know, im a big mouth lawyer myself. Ill stand up to him but if im a 23yearold in his workplace, of course, theyre intimidated. Its not just bad behavior. The question is, is it Sexual Harassment. His lawyer says the New York Times story is saturated with false and defamatory statements. Ashley judd said she went for a business meeting. He proposed a massage and asked if she would watch him shower. Is she lying . No, no, i have Great Respect for ashley judd and so does harvey. While they have a little different perspective on what happened, what happened 20 years ago, okay, this is not about attacking any of the women. Im glad they come forward. I encourage them to come forward. Harvey has authorized me to say that. I mean, this is a very different day. What do you do if you have behaved badly for 30 years . Are you going to continue . Or are you going to start, you know, a different approach . Thats what hes doing. He reached a settlement with rose mcgowan . I cant talk about whether there are any settlements. I can tell you generally when there are settlements confidentiality is always a term so people cant talk about it. Heres the problem. The New York Times says in interviews eight women described varying behavior by mr. Weinstein appeared naked or nearly or fully naked in front of them requiring to be present while he bathed or asking for a massage or initiating one himself. A real pattern over 30 years. This is like textbook Sexual Harassment. Its gross, yeah. Its illegal. Yes. You know, i agree. So you have to understand, yes, im here as his adviser. Im not defending him in any Sexual Harassment cases. There arent any Sexual Harassment cases. Im working with a guy who has behaved badly over the years who is genuinely remorseful who says, you know, i have caused a lot of pain. Why is he suing the times . He has a different lawyer handling that because a lot of allegations, there are witnesses who said those things did not happen and the times did not take into account. They didnt report what some of the witnesses said. Some people said i think he was having an affair with this other woman and when that other woman was connected she said absolutely not. You just acknowledged the stories where people come forward publicly, ashley judds story, you dont think shes lying. Im not accusing ashley judd of lying. Im glad shes come forward and spoken her truth. Emily nestor came forward im not accusing anyone of lying. We are not going to do that. What Harvey Weinstein has done is wrong. He has caused pain. He said that. Ive said that in my statement. Listen, you know, ive done a lot of cases on behalf of women and often thought, gee, i wish i could get on the other side and smack that guy around a little bit verbally. Here was an opportunity of a guy saying, lisa, what should i do . I have behaved badly. Im like, good, ill tell you what to do. Be honest, be real. Okay, hes admitted to you he sexually harassed women. Youre using the term Sexual Harassment which is a legal term. Im using the term workplace misconduct. I dont know if theres a real significant difference to most people. Sexual harassment is severe and pervasive and so telling somebody they look nice in a dress, for example, is not Sexual Harassment and that is one of the allegations against him. If you have sex with me youll do better in your career. Thats Sexual Harassment. That is absolutely Sexual Harassment. Thats whats alleged in the article. That is true. You know, yes, that is true. Boy, youre being very forthright here. Im telling you harvey has authorized me to be very forthright because he is ashamed of his behavior. I appreciate that and take your word for it. On the other hand youve got another lawyer whos suing the New York Times saying theyre basically lying. Some of the allegations he contends are you see the inconsistency there . I dont think its inconsistent. This was a very long article with a lot of allegations where they refused to take into account witnesses who said some of this stuff is untrue but that doesnt really matter to me. What matters to me and what i said to harvey behind the scenes is youve got a long history here youve got a pattern. You say youre very sorry, you say youre embarrassed and want to respect women and do better, that starts right now. You say youre tutoring him. What does that mean . It means i explain to him things like the way you talk to our guy friends,ou youre going out for a beer is not appropriate in the workplace. You cant have a lot of cursing. You cant tell sexual stories. You cant hit on women in the workplace. Not only is it illegal, its wrong because it causes pain to women. And it needs to stop right now. A 65yearold man should know that. Of course, he should. But you believe hes going to change now . I hope so. Its an effort. I think he has changed in the year that ive known him and been talking to him, you know, in this very hardhitting way behind the scenes. There havent been any allegations then. Its hard for human beings to change. His biggest problem is anger. Been in therapy and working on for ten years and still has a long way to go on that. He gets very angry. He is a big guy with a loud voice. And i think thats a big part of the problem. We should also say as a matter of disclosure hes also producing a docuseries based on one of your books. Yes. Thats really how i came to know him about a year ago. My book suspicion nation was optioned for a film and said to him, look, there is a lot of rumors about you. Can we talk about it . I was very surprised he said, yeah, ive been stupid. Im embarrassed, lisa. Tell me what to do now. Lisa bloom, thanks for coming in today. Thank you. Well be right back. Lisa bloom, thanks for coming in today. Thank you. Well be right back. Youre probably wondering why thaive just carvedng a giant wooden tiger. Well, the answer is that a real one would maul me.

Back now with that new trouble for penn state. Another fraternity has been suspended just weeks after new antihazing policies went into effect and abcs Erielle Reshef is there with the very latest. Good morning, erielle. Reporter good morning, michael. That new trouble comes after a freshman was hospitalized following a night of alleged drinking at this fraternity.

All right, now to the very latest on the gunman who carried out that deadly attack in las vegas on sunday. Abcs matt gutman is there with new details for us, good morning, matt. Reporter good morning, amy. Those new details are chilling. Law enforcement officials tell us that Stephen Paddock may have been scoping out targets thousands of miles away from here and one of them was grant park, where the lollapalooza concert was held in august. We know he booked rooms at the blackstone hotel. He may have scoped targets around fenway park in boston. That was found on his cell phone. We do know that he chose something much closer to home, the casino here at the mandalay bay hotel. Yesterday we got to fly over that venue. Its still very much an active crime scene. We could see those forensics officials from the fbi shoulder to shoulder combing through the debris and it was a moment frozen in time. You can still see those lawn chairs turned over right next to baby strollers and walkers. There are still beer bottles on table tops there. That forensics work that the fbi is doing is going to be crucial in finding a motive here because Stephen Paddock left behind no suicide note, no manifesto, and now finally the mourning process is beginning here in las vegas. You can see this memorial. 58 crosses. This was just built yesterday. On each one of these you can see a picture of the victim, flowers, there are candles and balloons here.

Youre listening to the new song. There it is right there. Its called almost like praying. Thats the new allstar collaboration from hamilton creator Linmanuel Miranda. It was released overnight to benefit Hurricane Relief efforts in puerto rico and well talk to him in just a moment but first, lets take a look at the man behind the music. Hes the man behind americas most popular blockbuster musical, hamilton. Snagging both a tony and Pulitzer Prize then conquering the big screen. Away away reporter with the Box Office Smash writing and singing the songs to moana. The wind and the sky reporter even contributing music to star wars the force awakens and hailed as a musical genius, given a prestigious mcarthur grant. Now turning his tlths talents to raising money for Hurricane Relief with a brand new single for a place close to his heart, puerto rico. Ravaged by Hurricane Maria teaming up with an allstar cast of artists seen in brandnew behind the scenes video from Jennifer Lopez to Gloria Estefan and despacitos luis fonsi who wrote miranda on twitter, two words, bro, im in. Miranda writing the new powerful song, the top trend everywhere. Its almost like praying reporter this morning the powerful new song, the top trend everywhere. [ cheers and applause ] Linmanuel Miranda, he is here with us right now. [ cheers and applause ] welcome. Welcome, welcome, man. Thank you for having me. You are one busy fella and trying to keep up with you, strahan. No, you are much busier and more talented than i am. In two weeks you were able to write this song and call all the superstars and make this collaboration happen. You got them on board and recorded and you released it. How were you able to do that so quickly . Well, you know, unfortunately, one of the things any puerto rican who has ties to the island had in the immediate wake of the hurricane was time because there was this terrible silence while we all waited to hear from our families and my social media, my facebook, my twitter was filled with my friends and family, has anyone heard from san juan, and thats how i had the idea for the song. I said if we can get all 78 towns in the lyric for the song their names will never be forgotten again. That was the impetus behind writing the song and then you burn up your rolodex and you tweet the people whose numbers you dont know and really every artist made miracles happen. Ill tell you one story. You know, i wrote to this rapper who im a fan of from puerto rico, didnt hear from him and all right, im sure hes very busy. Saturday, like this past saturday i get an email from him, i just got power back. I just got your email. Id love to be a part of it. I write can you get to a studio. He says, yes, there is a studio in san juan, i can record the verse. The next day i get an email, i dont have enough bandwidth to send you a wave file. Im with him while Gloria Estefan is recording and Gloria Estefan says im flying to puerto rico for relief efforts tomorrow. I go, can i get you a memory stick . And Gloria Estefan flies to puerto rico, that was well documented with Bernie Williams and then, you know, we dont know if it will happen and that night i get an email and a picture of them holding a memory stick. I love that. Hes on the track. To a person it was like that. Everyone just sort of moving mountains to make this happen in record time. Because it is so important. I want to talk about the choice of the song, maria from west side story. Tell us about that. This is the worst storm puerto rico has ever experienced in its modern history and knew that name would forever have a different connotation on the island and yet i have a musical theater brain. Thats where my head goes when i hear the name maria so i thought is there anything i can flip . Just the way hiphop we flip a sample and we change the meaning. The goal with this was to flip the meaning of this song to be about to be about puerto rico and the title almost like praying because thoughts and prayers are great but thoughts and prayers are not enough. We need more. We need action. We need the government to respond to be equal to the response of the people which, you know, i have never had more hope in the American People and people all over the world. I go to my twitter feed and its people breaking their piggy banks and employers matching employee donations. We are not the issue. If our government can step up to where the people are, well be on the road to recovery a lot faster. [ applause ] talking about your twitter feed thats for sure. Youre full of hope right now. You were full of anger this weekend as well. Do you think things are changing now . Is the government stepping up . I dont know. You know, the tweets i wrote this weekend made news because normally my twitter feed is full of dad jokes and dog videos and pictures of my son playing with trains and yet ive never seen a sitting president attack the victims of a Natural Disaster before. That is without precedent and that is why my words were without precedent. So, you know, i didnt see the press conference in puerto rico. I was busy mixing and mastering the song. I waited to hear are we increasing aid . Are we increasing troops . Short of that i dont need to see another photo op. I need action and people to help my island. You said your island. Youre from puerto rico and your father luis is with you today. How is your family . They are doing the same as everybody else on the island. Theyre putting on a brave face for us and yet i know my cousin kevin waited 12 hours in line for gasoline and they were only giving out 20 worth of gasoline which is just enough to get back home. Its dire. Were still in a humanitarian crisis and we need all the help we can get. I tell you what, we know you have a lot of work to do and know you have to run. We are so happy you came and talked to us about it. Thank you so much. Thank you for making a difference. [ cheers and applause ] really appreciate you, man. Now well go outside to ginger. And out here a friday full of birthdays, 13, 16 and 60. Whats your name . Chris. From chicago, this Group Writing me on twitter. I love seeing you come out. You all have been very warm. The month of september. Its been super warm. Look whats happening. If youre sticking around for the weekend, along the east cot at a im abc7 news meteorologist drew tuma, the forecast feeling more like summer than autumn. 76 the high in San Francisco, about 81 for oakland, 84 for palo alto, 90 low for santa rosa, and and i dont care, very warm, up to 88 degrees. Your accuweather sevenday forecast, nothing but sunshine on your friday, sunny skies continue into the weekend. It turns breezy as we finish off on sunday and t [ applause ] wow. Still glowing from Linmanuel Miranda but it is time for pop news so well get right to it. Big news this morning out of the rock roll hall of fame. Class of nominees including 19 artists or groups that span more than 40 years of music. We are talking bon jovi, very excited for them. My guys. The cars, depeche mode, the eurythmics, love them, l. L. Cool j. This is so exciting and just a few of the lucky 19 and many of them are taking to social media. 60s english rock band the zombies nominees tweeted honored to be rock hall nominees and thats the proper british honor with the u. The cars on their twitter feed sharing a classic photo and judas priest said were proud to be on the inductees nomination list. All of them of course writing this hoping that you will catch the hint and vote for them which you can do by going to rockhall. Com. Always fun to see who they choose. Some tough choices. I know. Also in pop news this morning, a culinary crook on long island. How you doing . A burglar broke into nellys tacoria giving us plenty to taco bout. Instead of going straight for the cash, this shady chef went to the kitchen. A Security Camera capturing him as he takes the time to put on gloves and then whips up some beans, chicken and shrimp. The restaurants manager said the guy had some mad skills too. He was actually really good cook. And apparently a considerate crook. The video catches him cleaning up after himself, making a clean getaway, after swiping 100 but leaving 1 in the tip jar. True story, i made none of it up. The tip jar. No, he took the 100 and left the 1. Wow. Wait a second, guys. Youre clapping for that. Hes a crook. Hes a crook. He might be a wellmannered crook. You need a whole new file for wellmannered crooks. I want to share pharrells incredibly catchy song, special meaning this morning because today is world smile day. We figured happy news is really were all grateful for it these days. A little history for you. An artist named harvey ball created that yellow smiley face in case you were wondering back in 1963 and got paid 45 for it. I thought forest gump did. No. Its the most no, i know, thats much too it was please, mr. Ball, we love you. It became the most famous symbol in the world. Back then ball said we should devote one day every year to smiling. That was the inspiration for world smile day which is today and one thing i know youre smiling about, people, it is friday. [ cheers and applause ] im happy. Big smile. Thank you, lara. We switch gears and a parenting alert about hot cars. Usually were worried about it in the summer. Now a new report concludes the risk is real even when the weather cools down. Gio is here with that. Hey, george, good morning to you. Such an important issue here. So far this year 39 children have died in hot cars including a 5monthold who died in may after being left in a car on a 76degree idaho day. Take a look. We see these images in the summer months, children left in hot cars, but a new report shows it can happen year round. It can happen even in the mildest temperatures. Our vehicles kind of act like a greenhouse. Reporter Consumer Reports putting that to the test. In a new report concluding that even when the temperature outside is in the cooler 60s and 70s, the temperature inside a closed car can reach a critical level. We met up with jennifer stockburger, Consumer Reports director of operations at its test track. These are two brandnew cars. The threat of hot car deaths isnt specific to a cars make and model. So Consumer Reports set up a demonstration of their test with two different cars in different colors to see if the lighter car stayed cooler than the darker one. Inside, car seats and temperature readers where the child would be sitting with the doors open, the temperature in each car is in the mid70s. About 74 degrees. Very close to the aim beent temperature. Were looking at around 76, 75. Were going to start now. Clock starts right now. Were two minutes in and we can see how quickly this is heating up. You got ten degrees about from where we started. Reporter after 30 minute, 98 degrees. Right. 98. 3. Right. Its going higher and weve got 94 degrees. Fast forward to the hour mark. Weve got 99. 2 in the white car, an hour in and in the darker car, 104 degrees. That 105 range is where babies are in trouble. Thats still going to go higher. Right. Reporter child safety expert jeanette fennel reminds us a childs body is incredibly vulnerable. They dont have the ability to get that heat out of their body. Theyre going to heat up three to five times faster than an adult. Reporter what about that theory that lighter cars are cooler . Were seeing about five degrees of a difference but really when youre talking about a small child, in the car, that doesnt matter. Right and thats what we wanted to demonstrate. Doesnt matter if youre in a light colored car, light interior, youre still going to get warm. You should never leave any child unattended in a car. For sure. Child Safety Experts and s are g automakers to include technology that will remind parents their child is in the backseat and already exists for at least one car model. You know, there are free apps available including, you know, that traffic app waze. That will remind you that your child is in the backseat. Its so important. Yeah. So many people have that already. That was an eyeopening piece. Thanks so much, gio. We appreciate it. We switch gears and turn to the keto diet. Many including myself call it the holy grail when it comes to health and weight loss. Take a look. There i am in my dressing room getting my hair and makeup done for Good Morning America while enjoying a beverage thats become my morning ritual. Voila. Butter coffee. You heard right. Butter coffee. But thats not all. I eat bacon, salads loaded with feta cheese. For four months ive been on a keto diet and started for the anticancer benefits but the biproduct, i am more fit and have more energy than ever. Ketogenic diet prompts your bodyo my favorite part is it reduces hunger, appetite and cravings so youre not running your life based on when the next meal is. Reporter author mark sisson is a guru for the keto diet. I caught up with him at the restaurant at rosehill at hgu in new york to talk about his latest book the keto reset diet. What we decided i want to give people an opportunity to try this out in a way that they can stairstep their way into it. Thats when everything starts to bloom. When i first started and i was using heavy cream, things i never used before i kept thinking, oh, my gosh, i am going to gain weight. How is this good for me . It is high in natural nutritious fats, yep, butter is good. Moderate in protein and very low in carbs. The book is filled with recipes that will make your mouth water. Mark shared some of his personal favorites. Breakfast, coffee with heavy cream and a sausage, kale and goat cheese fritata. I dont think anybody would ever turn Something Like this down. No. Reporter for lunch its a salad with some kind of protein on it. So this has maybe six or eight different kinds of vegetables, mixed greens, mushrooms. Reporter speaking of mushrooms, my kids hated mushrooms, didnt like the texture. Now that we saute them in butter and garlic, they love them. Reporter marks dinner . You got pan seared cod with caper and dill sauce on it. Reporter dont forget dessert. Chocolate avocado mousse with coconut milk whipped cream. Then again do you know what i miss the most . Bananas. They are decidedly not keto. But he told me i could have green bananas so i did go for that. Our senior medical contributor, dr. Jen ashton is here. Talk about what being in a state of ketosis is. You can show us. Ill show you a demonstration. The largest connect four ive ever seen. Very complicated biochemistry. If you realize that every cell needs glucose to function and if you think of these green discs carbohydrates when we eat them they run right through us and processed as sugar. Once we cut off that supply these yellow representing fat we have no choice but i love doing that. Thats your thighs. Your thighs just fell down. They break down fat and they make ketone bodies in the liver and thats what our bodies use as fuel. I didnt do this to lose weight but for anticancer benefits. A lot of research on that but because im a Breast Cancer survivor it was important to me. Talk about the Health Benefits that come with it. There is Ongoing Research in this and, of course, we need more good data. Youre seeing things connecting, benefits potentially of ketogenesis from cancer, longevity, poly cystic ovarian syndrome, brain function, supposed to boost your brain kind of power and energy. I am so many smarter now. You are on fire. With anything there are caveats so for an average healthy person, pretty much no downsides. You could think of this as a tot you have to proceed with caution. It can be challenging, i think, because fruits are limited and alcohol, of course, is a no go but this is a good example. There is low carb wine, jen. I promise. Good to know. Breaking news. But this would be a breakfast. Im going to heat it up. Lots of cheese, sausage and eggs, so delicious. Jen, thank you. The keto reset diet is out now. Well be right back lots of cheese, sausage and eggs, so delicious. The keto reset diet is out now. Well be right back. Say it loud and theres music playing good morning. Im reggie aqui from abc7 mornings. Sue hall has a look at your traffic on this friday. Its a bit busy, unfortunately. We were hoping for friday light, but we have beautiful conditions in the southbound golden gate bridge. Look at the northbound, only two lanes and a couple of about an hour and a half from now we of got the bay pardon me, the fleet week bridge parade of boats underneath the bridge. Thats what im trying to say. And so folks are probably jockeying to take a look at that. That happens at 11 00 this morning. Beware of slow traffic on the golden gate. Wow nice outfit.

George always made me use language i cant use on tv with that one right there. Were going to change the topic. Were done. I want to show everybody this picture that lit up the internet. You and the gang from fresh prince. Oh, yes. I mean, people are still crazy about you all. What is it like . Is it like old times when you have these moments . Its literally like every time we get together its like weve never been apart. You know, its like family, right . If you dont see a Family Member for awhile you just its just like you pick up. Thats like family for all of us. It was a Charity Event we had she has a charity called sweet blackberry and all getting together for that and i always find it really funny because theyre always like a reunion and im like, no, we just hung out. Theres no reunion. We just kind of got together and hung out. I dont know why its a reunion. We see each other all the time so its not like just never as a full group, right . That was special. Made it nice. Nice to see. Youre a jack of all trades, you sing, you dance, youre funny, you play golf. I do, a lot of golf. A lot of golf. Is there anything you cant do, thats the question . I cant dunk. I cant dunk a basketball. Okay. And im really, really bad at hockey. All right. I dont skate. You know, there aint a lot of black people that skate. We just dont skate so well. You know, anything hot, i like to be in hot places but i used to race cars professionally and i professionally. Yeah, i used to race formula cars and, you know, growing up my dad was my manager and he used to always say, look, if you have, you know, think of it like this. If you have eggs in a basket, right, theyre going to hatch at different times and youll always have an opportunity for one to hatch and one to get hot. In my career, right, its been, oh, well, work on your writing. Work on your hosting, singing, dancing, work on your acting, one might hatch and then youre able to use that for awhile and then it goes away so, you know, this way i can always stay, you know, current because im currently doing something new every day. Yes. You know what great. One of were going to take a look at a clip of one of the eggs that has hatched for you. Okay. Well take a look at a new season of afv, americas funniest videos. Check it out. That dog is just not a cat person. [ laughter ] i get it. I get it. [ applause ] its got to be so much fun to do. I tell you, obviously weve come ive come here several times and talked about the show. I love being on this show because i really get to go to work every day and laugh. And in this current state of affairs in the u. S. , like, boy, do we need some laughter. Do we need to just take a second and let things not be so serious and laugh and i think thats what we kind of bring to sunday nights for families because, you know, they can sit there with their kids and just after all thats going on just sit and laugh and have a great time and i just i love it. I love going to work every day and laughing at these people. Nothing better than me. Laughing with them. No, i laugh at them. I laugh at them. Definitely laugh at them and so this year we have a new time slot so theyve moved us from 7 00, 6 00 central to 8 00, 7 00 central. That feels like an upgrade. It feels like that. Shark tank follows us and theyre the two most cowatched shows on tv and so i think abc really has figured out kin what they wanted to do with their sunday nights now and creating shows for the family to sit together, you know, from 7 00, all the way to 9 00 then their 10 00 show is a little more serious. Its just fun. I feel blessed to have these opportunities and to be able to do what i love to do. May you have many more eggs like this. Yes, well keep hatching. Keep hatching them. My wife wants to hatch a new one and i just keep going, no, its not happening. No thanks. You can watch the new season of americas funniest home videos sunday night at 8 00 eastern and pacific.

And we know the past few weeks have been stressful for families out there. This morning, sesame street in communities is launching a new plan to help children deal with that stress and its great to have Sesame Workshop Sherrie Westin and good friend pediatrician and ceo of Robert Wood Johnson foundation, dr. Richard besser with us. Thank you both for joining us. Thank you. In the past few weeks weve had Natural Disasters and have had what happened in las vegas. Dr. Beser theres been a new study of other kinds of disasters, different kinds of traumas for kids out there have a huge impact on wellbeing. There is a new study ha shows all children, well, half of all children by the time they hit age 18 will have experienced a major stressor, it could be witnessing violence at home or in the community or family divorce but all children have stress in their life and the wonderful thing is that there are things that children can learn to help them deal with it. And we think in terms of, well, its an adult issue. We dont think the children are paying attention and listening. How does this affect the children . Theres a lot of new Brain Science that shows that if you have stress and you dont do anything about it, especially early on, it can affect the brain, it can affect learning and affect development. But what weve also found is that by teaching kids what to do, stress doesnt have to define their life. They can have a full healthy life even if theyve had stressors. Which is what we all want for our children. Exactly. Sherrie, sesame street is known for ingenious ways to teach kids. I learned my shapes on sesame street. I tested him. I said triangle. That was right. I still got it. You know, oscar the grouch taught us it was okay to be grumpy but how did new initiatives help kids . Youre so right. Sesame has a long history of helping children tackle some very difficult specific issues and when we do that we work in the communities with partners who are working with children, families directly and what weve learned from them is that there are very few resources that are broader that can help children deal with reducing stress regardless of the trauma or the circumstance. So these resources are designed to give children really simple strategies to help reduce stress, you know, imagining a safe space, deep breathing exercises and i think its also so important for parents to understand the importance of communicating with their children about these issues of engaging with children and making them feel safe and secure. You know, we have big bird here. Big bird. Big bird. [ cheers and applause ] rosita, abby cadabby, theyre all here. I tell you what, youre very beautiful in person. I will tell you that. So are you. Youre very beautiful in person. But you all are here to help us with some of these show us some of these things were talking about. Theyre very simple things, but very effective. Very effective. As a pediatrician there hasnt been things to teach kids to do and work with parents and care givers on. One of my favorites is something called squeeze and breathe. Rosita, youve learned how to do it. Can you show people how to do it. Yes, yes, of course, this is like works very well. I want everybody to do it with me. You know what, grownups, its important they do it too. Okay. Yeah. I agree. Ed first squeeze your hands as tight as you can. Come on. Squeeze your hands as tight as you can, tight, tight, then you count to five. All one, two, three, four, five. Now you let go. Now take a deep breath. Feel better already. How do you feel . I feel great. I feel great. [ applause ] but im curious. Sherrie, what does big bird do when he feels anxious . There are times big bird feels a little anxious and upset. Big bird, can you tell us some of the things you do to feel better . Sure, i imagine a safe place with all of my favorite things like my teddy bear radar or my granny birds bird seed cookies. I imagine chocolate chip cookies. That does it for me. But i love this because we all kind of get lost that the kids are going through as much stress as we are as parents and its great to know that sesame street is there with this initiative to really help and, dr. Besser, youre behind it. Really appreciate it. Really thankful for that. [ applause ] coming up, game time snacks for your tailgate. Well be right back. Im going to hang out with these guys. As you know football season is now in full swing and weve got great dishes for you next tail gate and of course we tuned in and teamed up with the food network for a game time challenge to turn sweet treats into salty snacks. With us host and chef anne burrell and Food Network Editor in chief maile carpenter. We welcome you both. Michael is with anne. Amy with maile. I have some game day tasters, carly and jalen are helping me out. Michael, you and anne are making what were hearing is a taylor swifts favorite cookie. Tweeted to me directly and told me my chocolate choke oatmeal cookies were a turning point in taylors life. Thats a moment. Shell write a song about it. We have to say congratulations about your new restaurant in brooklyn. Good time lounge. Good time lounge. Thank you. Come and see me. You should make these cookies for the lounge . Were doing them as part of an afterschool snack for kids in the neighborhood. Sort of like, hey, come and have a little Grilled Cheese sandwich, a glass of milk and, of course, a half price glass of wine for mom and dad its a basic chocolate chip cookie, brown sugar, eggs, w w w w w w w oat meal and we try to put a little healthy stuff in there. How do you get the salt . Walnuts and macadamia nuts and these beautiful little lovelies are finished with a little rock salt on top. So it really give takes a chocolate chunk cookie to a whole other level. Yes, indeed. We have two thumbs up from our tasters. Yeah, all right, there we go. While you guys get cooking over there, ill just put that anywhere. I pushed the release. There we go. How about you stick thats why i stay out of the kitchen. Well work on the chocolate chip and send it down to amy and maile. Right, so tell us what youre doing. Youre mixing salty and sweet in a different way. We are making the worlds easiest snack. These are like your standard marshmallow treat but throwing potato chips in which is like a magical ingredient. A little bit of salt changes everything. Were also you want to throw those in . Do you put the right in there with the cereal well add so sweetened cereal and potato chips and marshmallows. Thats it then dehydrated strawberries which is like a magical ingredient. You can add these to anything. Where do you get dehydrated strawberries . At most grocery stores, and you can grind them up and add to popcorn. Amazing then you end up with a little twist on a standard treat. The other trick is a lot of recipes call for a 9x13 pan. When you use one of these smaller pans you get a nice thick one which is the trick. So cut these up so everyone can have it. I think lara took a bite already. I did. What did you think . I knew i had tasters, but i had to get involved. Two thumbs up. Sweet, salty, delicious and easy to make. Our tasters are very happy right now. Tasters are super happy. I want to say taylor swift, i understand your passion about annes cookies. We thank you. We have all the recipes for you on our website so ch woman so, greg, its a lot to take in.
