Their parents now facing possible life in prison and the journals just discovered that could shape the case. And will tom brady be back for the big became . Or will an injury sideline him with the super bowl on the line . I make a prediction. Sidelin okay. Tom brady will be playing. But happy friday, everybody. But this is concern about the injury. He doesnt practice and its his hand. Hes a quarterback. He needs it. There is concern. Concern or not theyre going for their seventh consecutive afc championship game, which is ama amazing. And theyre taking on the Jacksonville Jaguars. And the big question, will brady practice today . That showdown over the Government Shutdown and money set to run out at midnight one year to the day from the president s inauguration and the ball is in the senates court after a vote in the house last night and our senior Congressional Correspondent mary bruce is on capitol hill with the latest. Good morning, mary. Reporter george, good morning. With just hours to go, there is no solution in sight. The house last night did pass a plan to temporarily keep the government open, but the shutdown threat remains. And now, this morning, all eyes are on the senate. Overnight, the house passing a plan to temporarily keep the government up and running. Republicans are now ramping up the pressure on senate democrats. House Speaker Paul Ryan daring them to shut down the government. The only people standing in the way of keeping the government open are senate democrats. Whether there is a Government Shutdown or not is now entirely up to them. Reporter but several Senate Republicans arent sold on the plan. And a Strong Majority of democrats oppose it. The house bill is a joke and it does not have my support. Reporter theyre demanding any deal including action to protect d. R. E. A. M. Ers, those nearly 800,000 undocumented immigrants brought to the u. S. As children. Democrats argue if there is a shutdown, republicans and the president are to blame. Our republican leader has said that he will not negotiate until he knows where President Trump stands. Thats why negotiations havent gotten anywhere. Reporter there is a bipartisan proposal on the table but the president rejected it. Even some republicans are urging him to close the deal. You need to be a street fighter in many ways to clean up washington. But you also need to be the president of all of us. Theres a time to fight and theres a time to deal. It is now time to deal. Reporter now, the blame game is already well under way here. Republican leaders say democrats are Holding Funding hostage to get what they want on d. R. E. A. M. Ers. While democrats say republicans will ultimately be to blame for any shutdown because theyre in control here on the hill and at the white house. Well bring in jon karl as well and, jon, lets begin with you. Yesterday you said the president was m. I. A. In this shutdown fight. He got involved then after our program yesterday but kind of complicated matters. Reporter he did. He suggested he was actually against or had problems with the republican plan to kind the government open. That was early in the morning but by the end of the day the president was actively engaged in getting those conservatives the Freedom Caucus who suggested they would vote no, and getting it past the house. Now you have this dynamic where both sides are convinced that the other side will pay the price for a shutdown. That is a recipe for a drawn out stalemate. Mary, that means we dont have a real good sense of how this will unfold today. Kind of in uncharted waters. Reporter exactly. We know the senate is moving forward on track to have this shortterm spending plan today. But all signs indicate that that would likely fail. Now, i have talked to lawmakers on both sides of the aisle who are now calling for a short, shortterm extension, just a couple of extra days to buy themselves time to negotiate but leadership doesnt seem to be on board with that. Right now, george, its hard to see how they can avoid this shutdown. That means a shutdown could come and jon karl does the administration have their contingency plans in place . Reporter well, every single federal agency, george, has put up a guidance. This one for the department of Homeland Security on their website for the contingency plan of what would happen. This for Homeland Security is 45 pages long. But primarily, george, what is happening now, is youll see the Administration Try to make the case that democrats are hurting the military, hurting children. Causing pain because they are pushing us towards a shutdown. The president is scheduled to fly to maralago later today. Im told he will not go if were headed to a shutdown. Thanks very much. Just going to impact a lot of people. We will talk about that because it could have a major impact on millions. For more we bring in tom llamas. Good morning, tom. So break it on down for us. Reporter robin, good morning to you. We just heard from mary and jon, the blame game is on in d. C. About this potential shutdown. But the ones who stand to lose the most are the american people. Lets break it down. Lets take a closer look. First up the american economy. Back in 2013, the last time a shutdown happened, it cost the economy 1. 5 billion a day. Why . Government funds are put on hold. If the government does shut down, two things you dont have to worry about mail and air travel. Well still get our mail and air Traffic Controllers will continue to work. But if there is a shutdown the last time this happened in 2013 nearly 800,000 federal employees were without pay. More than a million delayed paychecks including Service Members who arent paid until later. And also, if youre looking to get a business loan. If youre looking to buy a home, your loan could be put on hold because of those Government Funds that respect up and running. Now, in case youre wondering, members of congress, will they still get paid . The ones responsible for the shutdown, of course, they will still get their paychecks because their salaries are written into permanent law and in case anyone is wondering essential military services will be still up and running even if there is a shutdown. The president tweeting. The president tweeting. I want to bring in matthew dowd for more on that. And the president , picking up, talking about the government funding bill passing last night. He said the democrats need to pass it. But he brams them. They want illegal immigration and borders, shut down coming. We need more republican victories in 2018. So this gets into the question of who will bear the blame for this shutdown . This would be the first time it happened with republicans in control of the house, the senate, and the the white house. Listen, this is a high stakes poker game. If this was a Texas Hold Em tournament, the democrats hole cards are much higher than the republicans. The last time one party held all this and a shutdown occurred in the 70s, that historical precedent where jimmy carter ended up losing the presidency in 1980 and democrats lost seats in the house and the senate in 1978 is not a good precedent. So right now, i think the odds favor if there is a shutdown, politically, it is going to benefit the democrats. And coming on the Year Anniversary, would come on the Year Anniversary if it comes of the president s inauguration and he heads into his second year, the lowest Approval Rating for any president starting a second year. Yeah, george, the traditional gift, as you know, the traditional gift of a First Anniversary is paper. And i think this president wants a bill written on paper he can sign on his First Anniversary all headed to a situation, very unpopular president and congress very unpopular republican party. The democrats are not that much more popular. Its a perfect storm of bad politics in a Midterm Election year that could cause huge problems come november. Long day in the capital. Matt dowd, thanks very much. Michael . Thank you, george. Turning to what could be a big break in a murder mystery in arizona. A suspected serial killer behind bars. Authorities now say this man is responsible for a spree of nine murders in three weeks. You see the victims there. And abcs Kayna Whitworth is in phoenix with more. Good morning, kayna.

Murder reporter building a mountain of Evidence Police say he also incriminated himself during several interviews. During that those conversations, there was evidence gleaned that additionally links him to these crimes. Reporter do you believe that there are more victims out there . I do believe that. The coldness, the frequency, the manner in which he committed these crimes, its likely there are others. Reporter cooksey spent much of his life behind bars including 16 years for charges related to manslaughter and robbery. And Police Telling us they do have a motive for some of these murders, including sex, money, and drugs. Michael . Glad hes back behind bars. Thank you very much. Robin . Okay, thank you.

Spending four or five days listening to them is significantly minor considering the hours of pleasure you had at their expense and ruining their lives. Reporter more than 150 women have accused the former doctor for the usa Gymnastics Team at Michigan State university of sexual abuse. Including bronze medalist jamie dancher. Your days of manipulation are over. We have a voice now. Youre pure evil. The next survivor could not be here today.

An extraordinary move to protect students and teachers from the outbreak. Calling in specialized cleaning crews like this one, scrubbing to keep this san antonio day care flufree. You have to think about it. If theres one kid with the flu virus and that kid sneezes, coughs, guess what, this entire environment is not contaminated. Reporter this deadly flu epidemic is not limited to children or the elderly. Katharine gallagher was 27 and worked at a brewery with no prior health issues. But just five days after she came down with flu symptoms she was found dead on her bathroom floor. Despite a visit to the emergency room where she received fluids, and was told to rest, the flu quickly morphed into bronchial pneumonia. The beginning of the Worst Nightmare that were not going to wake up from. If young people hear this they will realize its not to be trifled with. Reporter doctors caution it may take two flu tests before the virus is confirmed. We actually had a case recently where someone had this test done earlier in the day. And then in the e.

A storm is hitting the west coast moving east, 17 states from california to wisconsin on alert and it will bring heavy snow, gusty winds and thunderstorms this weekend. We begin with those chilling new details about life inside that home where 13 children were held captive. Their parents are now facing possible life in prison. Our Senior National correspondent matt gutman has been tracking the case for us and joins us from that house in perris, california. Good morning, matt. Reporter good morning, robin. In an interview last night, the d. A here told me that the abuse that went on inside the house hold was off the charts sadistic. David and Louise Turpin are accused of not only beating their children and chaining them to beds, sometimes for months at a time, but also of systematically starveg them and taunting them. They would by pies and leave them on the count person allow the children to smell them, but never eat them. There were unwrapped toys in the house. Never played with. Those two parents face up to life in prison on 75 charges in convicted. The police say the parents who routinely chained their children in shackles themselves. The state of california versus Louise Ann Turpin and david allen turpin. It. Reporter if convicted, they could face life in prison. District attorney mike hestrin detailing the deeply disturbing mental and fizz cam abuse, including starving their children and then taunting them with delicacies. They would buy food including pies, apple pies, leave it on the counter, let the children look at it but not eat it. Reporter instead of food, the children were fed a steady diet of cruelty. These pictures show one of their texas homes years ago, grime smeared on the stairwells. Human filth on the floors. And the children were allowed to bathe on once a year. And none of the victims had ever seen a dentist. And the punishments for infractions like washing their hands above the wrists progressively got worse. First with ropes, one victim at one point was tied up and hogtied. And then, when they victim was able to escape the ropes, these defendants eventually began using chains and padlocks to chain up the victims to their beds. Reporter the one thing the children were allowed were journals. A surprising hole in the you are thens fortress of deprivation. The d. A. Thinks the hundreds of journals could prove significant going forward. My guess is that that will be powerful evidence of what was happening from the perspective of the victims. Reporter your understand is that they were able to document what was happening to them in their journals, almost like a realtime basis. Thats my assumption and i do believe that thats going to be the case, yes. Reporter doctors are now treating the siblings, one of whom is 29 years old and weighs just 82 pounds. That medical staff also acting as their guardians. And theyre hopeful for their future. Weve limited the type of physicians that go in to see them. Weve used people that we knew that they could develop a bond with and trust. And we feel that weve done the best for them while theyre here. Reporter overnight, i spoke with their doctors. One thing that gives them a ray of hope is the grit and kournlgs of the 17yearold girl who managed to escape. She had been plotting that over two years. One of her siblings tried to go with her. But she got cold feet. She did manage to escape, alerting authorities, possibly saving all those other siblings. Okay, matt. We bring if chief legal analyst dan abrams. And callahan walsh, who is a child advocate from the National Center for missing exploited children joins us as well. Dan, let me start with you. We just heard in matts piece about those journals. Thats going to be powerful. And its going to be really important evidence because theyre doming day by day what is apparently happening to them. And, look, keep in mind this is occurring over a period of years. So i wouldnt be surprised if as they continue to investigate this, as they continue to go through the journals and as they continue to find out more about this family they could end up adding additional charges beyond the 75 that matt has talked about here. But its rare to have that kind of realtime documentation of alleged crimes and makes you wonder what is the defense going to be . I dont know. Are they going to claim some sort of religious Freedom Defense . I dont know. But when you have that sort of ed, its hard to figure out how you defend. Homeschooling has been brought up. In california, all you need is a simple registration. Some states, less than that. A lot are talking about what needs to be done now. Homeschooling isnt the problem. The problem is that in a disproportionate number of cases where you have horrible abuse, the kids were homeschooled so what does that mean . Doesnt mean you need to end homeschooling. It means, i think, that you need to have some sort of regulation and checking in. Its at school where people are able to determine if something happens to a child and thats the issue. Callahan, lets talk about those precious children and as we heard in the report, the 17yearold who was so brave and had been planning this for so long and had a sibling and the sibling turned back. But thankfully, the other went forward. Just explain the psychology behind this. The bravery she displayed is amazing. You know, this case reminds so much of the cleveland girls, amanda berry. Michelle knight and gina dejesus. Those girls were kidnapped by an abductor and held against their will. These kids were brought up from day one. Just to know that something was wrong. She needed to do something and i know they had little knowledge of the outside world and didnt know what a Police Officer was so for her to be able to understand something was wrong and to break out of that situation, not only did she save her own live but the life of her 12 other siblings, as well. Callahan, as you were talking and showing video of the family with out in public and weve seen them on vacation. And you know what some people feel when they see pictures like this, theyre like, why didnt the children do something at that point . But please explain again why that is so difficult for them. Right, again, weve seen this in other cases like Elizabeth Smart when she was abducted she was seen out in public, as well. But these abductors in this case unfortunately these kids parents are using a controlbased and fearbased control system. And with that, these kids think their parents are the ultimate authority. That theres no one else out there that can save them. And they are fearing those parents. So this fearbased control is what kept these kids locked in that house for so long. They did have opportunities outside to get away, but we saw the parents control. They would dress them all in the same outfits and line them up in lines whenever they were going anywhere and stand at the front and back of the lines and make sure they were completely watched at all times. Callahan, as always we appreciate your insight and, dan, thank you. Hard to even talk about. It is. It really is. So much more to talk about. Including brandnew details. And interviews. And you can see it on a special hour of 20 20 tonight. George . Just an incredible story. Coming up here a parenting alert about young athletes. The new research on cte. Shell love us. Right .

Paula faris is here with details. These repeated hits called subconcussive blows is a game changer, turning the conversations about concussions and cte upside down. Its a stunning new study this morning out of boston university. Showing repetitive smaller hits to the head, not just concussions, may cause cte, the degenerative brain disease notoriously plaguing a number of former nfl stars. Some doctors now believe the research may have been focused on the wrong thing. The bottom line here really is the hits that count, not the concussions. Reporter researchers comparing four brains of teen athletes with cte and four brains of athletes with no evidence of the condition. The results were groundbreaking. While the recent major injuries played a small role, they found that smaller repeated hits known as subconcussive hits also played a role contributing to this crippling brain disease. There is the injury on the one hand. And we need to be concerned about that. The injuries can occur, but it triggers a neurodegenerative disease in some cases. And we dont know in whom and under what circumstances. Reporter we spoke with the family of penn football star owen thomas back in 2012. He played football all his life, never suffered from any concussions but did have several subconcussive hits. At just 21 years old he committed suicide. Doctors later finding out he was suffering with early stages of cte. When they asked for his brain, i said, well, he never had any concussions. I didnt think theyd find anything. I was sure they wouldnt find anything. But i thought, well, well do what we can to help the research or whatever. I was just astounded that they found cte. Reporter subconcussive hits like the ones owen thomas suffered, theyre not just limited to football. They affect every athlete that plays Impact Sports. Again, lets emphasize that. We are talking about every athlete across the board that plays Impact Sports will be affected. A little illustration. This full glass of water, lets say this represents a concussion and the full impact and effects. Subconcussive hits like a little hit here and another hit and another hit and pretty soon you have a full glass. And you basically have the same effect of a concussion. So its that residual effect. I think playing any of these Contact Sports and more than just football, but its a calculated risk you have to take as an athlete. Do you play or you dont, i guess . A lot of times ive asked you would you still play . Absolutely. Weve heard athletes say that they would. Okay. Well be right back. Ght with co.

Will number 12 take the field for the World Championship patriots this sunday against the Jacksonville Jaguars . Well, brady threw Patriots Fans into orbit yesterday by showing up for practice wearing gloves and stretching but not actually practicing. The Patriots Organization notoriously tightlipped put out a report that said did not practice. Under the reason it listed right hand. Now, this fan spoke for pretty much all of patriots nation when he wrote on social media if he needs my right hand, say the word. But the question to you i have, michael, you would know better than anyone. Does a fivetime super bowl champ need to practice . Do we need to drink water . Yes, we do. I feel like he needs to practice i think mental practice is important for him at this point in his career. But theres no way hes not going to play. He will be there and the patriots are notorious for putting guys, not listing them on the injury report. They got in trouble for that a few years ago. Now they list anybody with any trouble. Little mind game. A mind game in my opinion. His right hand is fine is what youre saying. It is. And if not, that guy is going to give him his. The real burning question are you going to dance again this weekend . Are you going to dance like you did . I hated to dance. I actually did that for bradshaw because he picked the saints and i finally won a game. Nothing against the saints. I appreciate it. We made up, everybody. Were good. Were good. That one hurt. Saints, that hurt. Coming up, gma health alert about young women and adhd. Dr. Jen is going to join us. Come on back. I thought i was managing my moderate to severe Crohns Disease.

People, its friday. Good morning, america. Friday. Happy friday to everybody. Thank you for being with us this morning. And also later in the show well hear from Sarah Jessica parker. Shes here. Yeah, Second Season of her new show, divorce is out. One of the biggest trends in fitness. Those hot gym workouts coming to your home or wherever you work out. And michael and i are about to join those riders upstairs and were going to sweat it out as we show you our favorite at home workout. And that woman right there is ally love. Oh im telling you, im fangirling. Im fangirling big time. I love her and always ride to her class but im actually scared today. Put you through it. Shell put us through it. First that looming Government Shutdown. The government runs out of money at midnight on the anniversary of President Trumps inauguration. Right now Congress Deadlocked on any possible solution. Want to go straight to mary bruce for more on that. As i said, no solution in sight right now. Reporter yeah, george, the path forward is really tough to see. The house last night did pass a bill to temporarily fund the government. But right now, that bill does not have a clear path forward in the senate. A few Senate Republicans oppose the plan and democrats are standing their ground insisting any funding bill also include protections for d. R. E. A. M. Ers, while republicans say democrats are Holding Funding hostage to get what they want. And both sides of the aisle, they say President Trump, he plays a role here, too. They say he needs to make clear what immigration deal he would be willing to sign. The president is up and tweeting saying democrats are needed. If government funding is to pass in the senate. But then adding shutdown coming . We need more republican victories in 2018. Now, all the fingerpointing is well under way here. The ones who stand to lose most from a Government Shutdown are the american people. Take a look at this. Shutdowns are expensive, the last one, back in 2013 cost the u. S. Economy 1. 5 billion a day if there is a shutdown you would still get your mail and air Traffic Control would continue directing flights. But this could also impact anyone looking to buy a home or start a business. Those loan applications could be delayed. While hundreds of thousands of federal employees could go without their paychecks, lawmakers, the ones most directly responsible for a shutdown, well, their paychecks would still keep coming. George . Could make a lot of people angry. Im sure it will. Now to new details about life inside that home where 13 children were held captive by their parents. Lets go back to our Senior National correspondent matt gutman who has the latest. Good morning. Reporter good morning, robin. We got our first look at david and Louise Turpin, shackled, as they were brought into court. They face 75 total charges. The d. A. In an interview overnight telling me what happened in that house was sadistic off the charts. Those children were systematically starved, they were beaten and chained to bed dpr months for infractions like washing their hands above the wrists. They were not allowed to watch tv. Not allowed to read books. They were allowed to write in journals. The d. A. Says that could be critical in the case. My guess, that will be powerful evidence about what was happening from the viewpoint of the the victims. Reporter youre estimating that they wrote things in their journals on a realtime basis. That is my asupgs. Reporter i interviewed the siblings doctors. They say they have been overwhelmed with donations. They have clothing, food. Everything they have been deprived of. The doctors tell us, the greatest source of strength is each other. Theyll do whatever they can to keep them together. Matt will have much more on 20 20 at 10 00 p. M. Eastern. Were going to switch gears. Were going to celebrate a woman who has championed women on and off the court. Im going to talk like its not robin. Shes accepting the prestigious gerald ford award today from the ncaa honoring you for being an exemplary and inspiring leader, something we experience with you every morning. Thank you, michael. Ncaa is doing Something Special for your alma mater as well, which is really, really great. Making a generous donation to my alma mater southeastern louisiana, lion up. Thats what we did. But it was named after the former president gerald ford and give the honor to a former student athlete like president ford was, he played football at michigan. Actually gave up a chance to play pro and went to law school. And it just you gave up a chance to play pro. Thank you for [ laughter ] yeah, not quite the same. But i did but its like there is a great ad that the ncaa its wonderful that a former student athlete here who wept on to have a hall of fame career. But the majority of us who played in college dont go on to have a professional career but find ways to use those skills to be successful hopefully in life and in business. So im very honored that the ncaa at their National Convention in indianapolis is giving me that award. I know it says you inspire women on and off the court but you inspire everybody. Well, thank you. You really do. Congratulations. Thank you very much, george and michael. Its about teamwork and i could not have two better teammates right here. And thats what help me. Youre going to make me cry. Youre going to make me shed a tear. Thank you. Let me breathe. Can i not ride the bike now . Youre still doing the exercise class. Thats not out of the way yet.

Also in pop news this morning, the candy aisles might look a little different pretty soon with that classic nestle name we know and love being dropped from candy bars including nestle crunch. What . Butterfingers. Baby ruth. I know. I know, the New York Post says its part of a 2. 8 billion sale of nestle u. S. Confectionary buzz to ferrero, who already makes nutell and and Ferrero Rocher chocolate balls. I love those. The deal allows them to keep the word nestle for 12 months and then the word that we know so well will disappear as fast as a crunch bar in my house does. [ laughter ] 2. 8 billion and you only keep the name for 12 months. Wow. Get the recipe. But you get the recipe. Thats correct. Then finally in pop news, a match made in heaven. Two flight attendants got married midair. Guess who performed the ceremony . The pope. No. Yeah. Paula and carlos were working on the papal plane flying from santiago, chile, when they learned they couldnt have a catholic wedding in their church because it was destroyed by an earthquake. So he offered them a pretty special alternative. To perform the ceremony right then and there. According to the vatican, its the first time a pope has ever done an inflight wedding. You think . [ laughter ] the holy father reportedly gave them a very special gift of some timeless advice. He told them, quote, dont have your wedding wrings so tight that they torture you. But not so loose that they fall off. [ applause ] ah. Good advice. Question, the big question, did they have to work the rest of the flight . Were they allowed to drink the champagne instead of serving it . Very good question. Thats all i got. Happy friday, everybody. [ cheers and applause ] good luck you guys. Were going to stick with weddings. [ applause ] weve heard about the Royal Wedding. Paula is learning more about meghans gown and the guest list. Where are you . Over here, george. How are you doing . Everybody, we circled may 19th on the calendar. Meghan markle has chosen a designer. And the american princess, shes going to bring a bit of hollywood to her big day. Her hair and makeup team from suits will be there. And when it comes to the menu, guests will get a taste of the states. The royal couple is on the road again making their third public appearance together with just 17 weeks to go until the big day. And this morning, new details are emerging on Royal Wedding planning. Perhaps one of the biggest questions on everybodys mind, what will the bride wear . We have a Wedding Dress designer. Meghan flew in her close friend and bridal stylist Jessica Mulroney from toronto to london last weekend where she attended a top secret fitting at Kensington Palace with the designer. Reporter while the name of that designer is still under wraps, what are some names we can expect to see on prince harry and Meghan Markles guest list . Sources tell us weekly. Harry has actually put on the top of his list his good friend ed sheeran to perform at the afterparty. Expect to see her famous friends including serena williams, Priyanka Chopra including her suits costars. The canadian prime minister, justin trudeau, will be invited. As well as his wife. Reporter Princess Charlotte and Prince George are expected to have roles on the big day. Lle day, ive heard. Reporter and leading up to the nuptials, the couple continues her unofficial tour of the uk wildly excited fans greeted them thursday in wales. She showed me her ring. And it was amazing. And she said she was a very lucky lady. Reporter the actress looking chic while staying warm greeted well wishers in a black Stella Mccartney coat with a ribbon black. Black skinny jeans by a welsh brand, velvet boots and a tassel handbag. They visited an iconic building in the welsh capital, celebrating the areas culture. And they sampled welsh crumpets and cake. The next stop a local community center. Harry and his fiancee met people with a charity that harry supports that brings positive change to disadvantaged youth through sports. And during a game of jenga she doled out strategy advice. Children rushed over to warmly greet the royal couple after performing a dance number for them. Getting married means receiving gifts. [ applause ] but when youre a royal there are certain stipulations. All official gifts can be worn and used but eventually they become part of the Royal Collection so that means, george, the apron she just received she will eventually have to hand it back over and cant sell or Exchange Gifts so if they get 17 blenders, they have to keep the 17 plernds and then they become part of the Royal Collection. Maybe they can find to make good use. Thanks very much. A health alert right now. A new report from the cdc that highlights dramatic spike in adhd prescriptions for young women. Chief medical correspondent jen ashton is joining us from massachusetts and, jen, this is something here. Youre talking about women in their 20s and 30s . Yeah, let me set this up. The cdc looked at women ages 15 to 44 over a 12year period and tracked specifically the number of prescriptions written for the class of medication used to treat adhd. So were talking about amphetamines, tim is lanlts. Stimulants. The numbers were jawdropping. In women 25 to 29 years of age there was a 700 increase over previous period of time. In women 30 to 34 a 560 increase just for prescriptions. We dont know if the diagnosis rate also went up. This was major numbers. That was going to be my question. Whats behind the spike . Are people actually diagnosing more adhd . We dont know. We dont know, okay, so first of all we have to look at the diagnosis. But what this really speaks to is an illdefined and evolving field in Adult Psychiatry and medicine known as adult onset adhd. Because, remember, this is typically a condition that is diagnosed in children. So we dont have good data on its manifestations in adulthood. Nor do we have good data on the use of this class of meditations that has been out, by the way, for almost 100 years. So we do have a good profile on it but not really in adults so this is concerning and were also not sure, george, whether this is medical use, Recreational Use or abuse or how that falls out. So this is really the first step in observation. Cdc obviously looking at reproduct ifrage women here. What are the possible risks for pregnancy . Listen, thats what really jumps out. When you talk about this age group, these are obviously women where the unplanned pregnancy rate in the United States hovers around 50 . And many of these women could be using these drugs during pregnancy. There are risks and we need to be aware of that. And it hasnt been studied in humans. Only in lab animals. And its not a great profile. So it needs more research. We have a lot more to learn. Okay, jen, thanks very much. Over to ginger. Lets go over to ginger. And thank you, george. Its time for your gma moment and this morning, you are stuck in the house because its so cold even from florida up the east coast saying what do i do . How do i get my workout in .

In peloton, its an outdoor road on an indoor bike like youre riding outside but we bring the energy as instructors. Youre riding with live rirders across the country. So youre never riding alone. Its not like youre in your home by yourself trying to thug it out. No, youre on the bike. People riding with you even when you take it on demand there are people that have rode with you or are riding with you. So you just want to always telling you to be the boss. Boss up, baby. Always saying boss up. I appreciate this. Branding is everything. Theres one thing thats hard about working out at home or whatever is working out by yourself. And i feel like im literally in a class with other people. Youre so motivating. Thank you. It is amazing but if youre somebody at home and have a bike what are two things that you can suggest when you set up your bike at home. When youre setting up, the most important something your saddle and handlebar height. You want to make sure your saddle is the right hit.

Kind of recovered from running from the dressing room so how is the class going so far . It is going well. We have two robins. Best robins in the world probably guiding us through today so its going well. Okay. Dont worry about us, george and jessica, well be fine. You guys keep on workle here with our friend Sarah Jessica parker. Now back with the Second Season of her new show on hbo divorce. Great to you see you again. Likewise. Ali and i watched it last night. How is if for the marriage . We decided to renew our vows. Im starting to think its good for marriage. It is because it shows how hard divorce is. Exactly. How bad could it be . Is it really do you really want to go through this . We just try to work it out. Work at it. Its worth it. You guys have a lot of light moments as well and i want to show everybody a little bit. Okeydokey. Huh. He likes nice. Cute. Is that a giraffe in the background . Can i can you wait a minute. Oh. Yes, indeed that is a giraffe. Always wanted to go on a safari. It could be at the zoo. I dont understand why you dont want me to have this nice fancy. Give me it back. No, what are you doing . Back in the dating pool. [ applause ] you get to tackle a lot of new things in the Second Season. Yeah, i think, you know, frances had big lofty ideas about what liberation might look like and i think shes discovering, a, that most of it is just simply not true and, b, that the world is different for single women today and a lot of being single includes electronic devices, not what youre im not saying morning television. No, no, but i think its sort of a revelation how different the world is for people who are looking for partnership and also who are trying to be parents and responsible parents and try to solve Financial Issues that are really challenging. But its been great fun to explore this particular next chapter. Yeah, you have great women on camera and great women behind camera as well. What a year for it. I was just thinking about it. Tomorrow is the Year Anniversary of that womens march on washington. Its really been a year of womens power, hasnt it . It has been. [ applause ] yeah, and i think its been a sort of interesting slow burn, meaning its slow burn. I think obviously the march was historic and inspiring but then theres been this sort of whole new growth to the conversation that happened me too. Yeah, and i think it didnt happen on the heels of that march. I think people who have been having a lot of experiences and watching government and deciding whether they want to run in local, you know, local races and so by slow burn i dont mean to diminish in any way but i think its been thoughtful and its sort of its revealing itself and i think the conversations that a lot of us are having in our home and work spaces is important and huge and challenging certainly worthwhile. Have you felt the difference in the business . Yes, i felt it and i think when i speak to people across lots of industries, everybody has felt the difference and whether the change is in effect or the conversation is happening, i think thats the part that feels most meaningful is that people are willing to have the hard conversations and these are right now. But i sort of think that you one cannot retreat from this. You know, that theres simply nothing controversial really about the idea of equality and parity and safe working environments and i think should be simple. You would be hardpressed to be argue against it or youd look rather foolish so i think its exciting. Before we go we got the popes marriage advice in our last half hour and weve got what is it . Dont wear your rings too tight or so lose they fall off. As usual, sage advice. We got newlyweds. Oh really . Hey, we just got married one month ago so we would love to know your tips on a successful marriage to prevent divorce. Oh. [ applause ] george. Will you join me in counsel. Well, first watch divorce, forgiveness. Watch it together and bring as many friends along as well to watch it with you. And then i would say probably dont talk about your marriage a lot. Thats interesting. Do you know what i mean . Meaning the more youre inclined to have it be your marriage and not everybody elses, the more maybe they stay out of it. I dont know. I dont know how that is material in any way to your life. Mostly im glad youve lasted a month. [ laughter ] im very happy for you. So continued happiness. Thank you, george. New episode of divorce on sunday on hbo. Got to go back to robin and michael working so hard. Oh. Yeah. It is you know, we got to stay motivated. Well be right b welcome back.

Right now we move to this weekends savann. A. G. Awards. This year there are big changes to note including the host for the first time it kristen bell and nick watt sat down with her to talk about it. Good morning, to you, nick. Reporter good morning, lahr r the s. A. G. Awards are all about the acting. Only acting categories, individual and ensemble for tv and film. The actors themselves sit, they eat dinner and drink wine while the awards are doled out. There will be speeches both of celebration and selfreflection. At the Golden Globes many women and men wore black acknowledging the deep Sexual Harassment scan sdpals sweeping hollywood. At the s. A. G. Awards all presenters will be women. Welcome to the 24th annual s. A. G. Awards. Reporter as well as the host. I think its just in response to sort of conversations changing about the industry and maybe having a female host it is a little bit of a response to or the tip of the hat to that. Reporter theres never been a host before. Kristen bell blazes that trail. I wont be compared to anyone else, which is kind of nice. Whats your plan . Like Ricky Gervais snark or ellen warm hug. First of all always warm hug although i love some snark but i dont like to when it gets too snark . Im going to be as awkward and as weird as possible and hopefully that will make someone smile. And were going to have a lot of fun. Reporter these are the best oscar predictor. Three of four went on to oscar glory. All dour did in 2015. Favorites, Frances Mcdormand and gary oldman for the lead category, supporting, willem dafoe versus sam rockwell. Allison janney versus laurie metcalf. The voting pool overlaps with the oscars, s. A. G. Voters are actors. It must be lovely as an actor to be chosen by the actors organization to present the award. It feels very flattering although i was hired not to be an actor but to be a host. I believe that youve never won one of these. No. Ive never been nominated. I think maybe we should have a female version too. The ceremony is sunday night 8 00 p. M. Eastern on tnt and tbs then award season gets even more serious. Bright an early Tuesday Morning the Oscar Nominations are announced and, lara, well have the news of all the snubs and surprises for you right here. Absolutely, nick, let the games begin. All right, lets get over to ginger right now. Yes, lara, lets do it. Lets because were down to the final days, the final stretch of our warm coats and warm drive. You can still donate.

Our chance of scattered showers encreases from 9 00 to noon and rapidly decreases this robin and michael, i know you need some jam music to get that bike going so well get some soon. Fall out boy coming up. I got to say, its quite a ride. If you havent tried this you really do out of breath is real, people. Its great to be able to work out whenever you want. Wherever you want. The people from all around the country, were just the new york portion. Were all over the place. Oh, boy. Robin, what you got. Were blessed to have ally love here. I love you even more. I love you even more right now. Form is very important. Tell us about it. You are always talking about the drebz of our knees and everything. So in order to get better you want to make sure your form is great so technique, were in training every single time and remind everyone on the bike you want to make sure youre relaxed on the handlebar, back and long and knees and toe are tracking forward and bring awareness to that core so when youre out of that saddle with resistance over 40 you are going to be the boss you were meant to be and jog it out. You know what it is. How do you keep that up when youre out of the saddle. You dont want to bring your hips over your feet because what happens is you use your hamstring but bring that over the saddle. While using your core and think about running. Oo at a time. Thats it. And then if you get yeah, you see. A little different. A little different. Cadence. You get a certain cadence and rhythm and i love how you guys do it all to music. Oh. That this cadence and you can go through the beats of the music and a lot of types im not on track. I watch your legs and keep pace with you. If youre not using output, effort, intensity and your cadence and resistance, if youre not using that on the bike you want Something Else that can monitor a goal. Set your set makes for success and you reach them. Keeping the beat of the music is awesome. Most of the time it connects us. Your playlist is incredible. How did you get involved. I was a dancer. I was a dancer and started modeling. Yeah, thanks. Go, nets. It was through my good friend robin. She was like you got to come to peloton. I dont know. On the list of do adel cycling to the resume i have seems a bit intense then i came and its more of a community that has really kept me going. Its live, its on demand. Its behind us right now supporting us. And what she [ applause ] it is. Its beautiful. Your positivity. You just radiate that and theres something you say that always gets me when you say, dont do it because you want to. Do it because you can. Exactly. What do you mean. I truly believe that. One of the things, i know former athletes. I believe everyone is an athlete. Thats what i mean when i say boss up. Being your best self. Im not saying youre going to have the best day. We all have bad days. Absolutely. Its one of those things where you do saddle up that you can say, you know what, ill devote my time here and just do what i can in that moment. Every moment is not guaranteed so why not enjoy it thats true. Well, ally love, ally love, we enjoy riding with you and whether at home or in the studio. What a blessing. This is Something Else. Were used to seeing you here. Now youre here. Yes.
