Trumps attorneys complaining of an unacceptable appearance of impropriety because the judges daughter did political work for democrats. They said this trial can only be done once and it must be done right because of the potential impact on the election. But prosecutors said the independent Political Activities of the judges daughter are no reason to challenge his credibility. A lawyer representing the judge said theres absolutely no evidence to show the judge will stand to benefit from the outcome of the trial. Prosecutors also said delaying this case now would be incredibly disruptive.

This morning consumers across the country are grabbing hold of gold amid inflation and economic uncertainty, the precious metal is tempting more and more shoppers. This is a currency that has been around for thousands of years. It is one thing that holds its value and increases its value over a duration of time. Reporter the phenomenon is playing out in giant numbers at costco. A report from wells fargo says since last august when the retail giant started selling these 1 ounce gold bars at a slight markup, theyre now generating up to 200 million a month in sales. I just had to pay 2359 for it. Reporter Humphrey Yang is a personal finance content creator. He now owns one of those costco bars. I think this gold bar will hold its value, so i dont think i spent 2359. I more just converted one currency into another. Reporter his tik tok video documenting the process has been seen about 3 million times since monday. Ill hold on to it as long as i can. Maybe i can pass it down to a future generation. Reporter Craig Beauregard and Julia Edwards decided to buy a bar on a whim while shopping for groceries. We were Walking Around the store. We couldnt get it off our minds so we went back. Reporter they see it as a good investment especially with a wedding to plan. Feels good to know that i can hold it. I can bring it home. I know where it is. Reporter the price of gold has risen over the years. Its current price is 2348 per troy ounce. Thats way goal is measured. Thats up 359 from this time last year and almost ten times what it was worth back in 2000. Its not a guaranteed investment. The price topped 1800 in 2011 but plummeted below 1100 in 2015 eventually climbing its way back up to todays record high. The idea of it is that gold holds its worth and that is why people want to have that as a potential investment in their portfolio. Keep in mind costco does limit your gold purchases to just five ounces per customer, so you should not show up with your life savings in a bag of cash hoping to get all those gold bars. Robin say you do buy it. What should you know about selling it . I can see the dollar signs in your eyes. [ laughter ] step one, dont sell it to the first place you find. Right . Theres a lot of places that will buy gold. Get a lot of different rate, fees. Make sure you get the best deal. You also should know if this is a short Term Investment you have the possibility of short term Capital Gains tax 10 up to 30 . Its not pure profit if you do flip it. Also, we cannot stress this enough. Its not a certainty that the price will keep climbing higher and higher. Like any kind of investment, it also might go down. You have to keep that in mind if youre going to buy gold. With your lettuce and hot dogs. [ laughter ] michael get a little chisel hammer. Shave off a little bit. Michael there you go. George play of the day is next. Ckin. Were talking about cashbackin. Were talking about cashbackin. Not a game weve been talking about practice for too long. Word. No practice. Were talking about cashbackin. Were talking about cashbackin. I mean, were not talking about a game this is an abc news special report. Good morning. Im diane macedo. Were coming on the air because we have breaking news. Oj simpson has died oj simpson has died. He succumbed to his battle with cancer surrounded by his children and grandchildren. It was revealed in february simpson was battling Prostate Cancer but he refuted rumors at the time that he was in hospice care. Alex, what do we know at this point . His family said he died yesterday. We believe in las vegas where he had been living. It was only a couple weeks ago where he refuted the claims that he was in hospice care, right around the super bowl word had come out that he may have been in hospice care. He put a video on x saying he was feeling fine, going golfing. His impact on Southern California and really the world cannot be overstated. Going back to his time in the nfl and at usc and the nfl. The infamous trial in the 90s for the double murder of Nicole Brown Simpson and ron goldman. He was acquitted of that. There were a number of years where he was in and out of the for a number of months the hotel room Armed Robbery case in las vegas. Ended up going to prison for that. Got out. Has been living in las vegas. His family now saying on x that he has died, diane. He became such a National Focal point during that trial for the murders of his wife, his exwife at the time, and her friend. What legacy does oj simpson leave behind now, so many years later . I think depending on how one looks at o. J. Simpson. There is the football part of it, the star that he was. The hertz commercial, running through the airport. He was the biggest of the big stars before that trial. And the shock of the trial, there are Many Americans who will always believe that he committed that double murder. Others who believe that he did not. You remember the lines that came out of that if it does not fit, you must acquit. The impact of that trial for those who were not alive during that time or not old enough to remember it, was incredible. The whole world watching that trial during that time. The whole world watching tv and listening to the radio, waiting for that verdict to come down. Then when it came down, much of america did not agree with it. And then he was sometimes almost comically in and out of the headlines over many years. Then to get in trouble again in las vegas, to get back his own memorabilia. He got into the memorabilia trade and selling his items over many years. And then went into retirement, always claiming he was looking for the real killers of Nicole Brown Simpson and ron goalman. There were those saying he wasnt doing enough t he wasnt doing enough to do that if he wasnt involved in the murders. He even went into retirement in florida and nevada and had been relatively quiet the last couple years. Alex stone, thank you. Again, breaking news that o. J. Simpson has died. His family said he succumbed to his battle with Prostate Cancer. O. J. Simpson was 76. Well return you to your regularly scheduled programming. We will have the very latest on world news tonight.

Thank you. George we have breaking news. We have breaking news for our viewers in the west. O. J. Simpson has died at the age of 76. The former football super star, winner of the Heisman Trophy at usc, had an 11year career in the nfl, most spent as a star running back with the buffalo bills. With athletic ability and star quality, he became one of the first black athletes to win off the field in lucrative endorsementes. He starred in commercials, on tv and in movies, creating a celebrity lifestyle. But that changed in june 1994 when Nicole Brown Simpson was found brutally murdered. She had been stabbed repeatedly, her throat slit. Simpson quickly became a suspect. Now after the infamous white bronco slow speed chase, carried live on tv stations around the country, he was arrested and charged with both murders. The nine month murder trial broadcast to millions referred to as the trial of the century. Two years later sued in civil court by the parents of Nicole Brown Simpson and ronald goldman. Simpson was found liable for those deaths. His assets were seized. He was ordered to pay 33. 5 million in restitution to both victims families. In 2007 he was arrested after he and friends entered a Las Vegas Hotel room to retrieve Sports Memorabilia he claimed had been stolen from him. The jury disagreed. Simpson was sentenced to 33 years in prison but was released on parole after nine years. Simpson leaves behind five children who wrote in a statement, on april 10th our father succumbed to his battle with cancer. He was surrounded by his children and grandchildren. During this time of transition, his family asks that you please respect their wishes for privacy and grace. Back to you, robin. Robin now the latest on the showdown over abortion rights and the fallout in arizona in the wake of Court Decision to up held an 1864 law banning the procedure with almost no exceptions. Lets go back there to rachel scott in phoenix. Good morning, rachel. Reporter good morning, robin. It has been a chaotic 48 hours here in arizona. There was bipartisan outrage after the state Supreme Court ruled that an abortion ban passed during the civil war could go into effect. But when state democrats tried to bring a bill to the floor to repeal that law, it was republicans who stood in the way. Now arizona is in state of limbo. The ban is expected to go into effect in the next several weeks. The Biden Campaign placing the blame on former President Trump saying he owns the suffering and chaos we are seeing play out in the state. It was the former president who appointed three of the six Supreme Court justices who overturned roe versus wade, clearing the way for 21 states to ban or further restrict access to abortion. Now trump said the arizona ban goes too far. We know this could be a defining issue in the november election. We know that abortion rights could be on the ballot in as many as 14 states including several battlegrounds including right here in arizona as well as pennsylvania and nevada. The Vice President expected to be here in arizona tomorrow, robin. Robin all right, rachel. Thanks so much. Michael . George coming up a big question for parents. What is going on in my teens brain .

Were back with our gma cover story, a look at the new documentary, the teen brain, designed to break stereotypes and help parents understand their kids. Great to have maggie rulli here in the studio to tell us about it. Good morning. In this film we hear directly from teens in their own words. One of the things they say they want to know is why dont adults understand us . This film not only shows them why, but also has a unique teen brain and how it could be a super power. You want to know what it feels like to be a teen . Reporter thrilling, scary, stimulating. Just a fraction of the emotions teens say they experience. Everything is a roller coaster. What is going on in the teen brain . Reporter thats the big question asked and answered by director tiffany shain in her exploratory new film the teen brain. We talked to all the top neuroscientists in the state. Then we talked to so many teenagers. We wanted to hear directly from teens. What do you want to know about your brains . What do you wish adults knew about you, what youre feeling . Reporter just ten minutes one of the goals of the film is to destigmatize those formative years. When you promote adolescence as a time of brokenness, adolescents will think theyre broken. We are using an adult yard stick to understand teenagers. We wouldnt say infants are deficit toddlers but yet we think of teenagers as not quite adults and we measure them that way. That really affects how we talk to them. Reporter author of the break through years reinforces how understanding a teens brain can help parents guide and interact with teens in a better way and help them understand themselves. This loud emotional space, part of the limbic system becomes much more sensitive during this period. It grows in size. Emotions are so strong. It felt like i was set in this moment, and its hard to sort of see the bigger picture. Reporter experts say focusing on the brain can reveal passions and pursuits that are most fulfilling, all while honoring those emotions that are the essence of the teen experience. This is a time when the highs are really high, but the lows are really low. This is a time when you are just experiencing everything in a way that people go to movies to feel. Reporter actress goldie hawn ceo and founder of mind up says, i have wanted to create a film on adolescent brain because its important to understand that being a teen is an extraordinary time to be alive. And, guys, what i just loved about this film is it takes a more positive spin and gives teens and their parents the tools to actually take advantage of this unique time in their lives. George how do parents help teens . How do they help them balance independence and structure . Thats always a struggle. Parents are the most important people in their teens lives. Little pressure for us. She also gives us tools to take advantage of this. She says, first, check in on yourself. Take pause before responding to a difficult situation. Second, consider your childs pointed of view. Third, share your expectations and limits. Finally, problem solve together and let those moments be a lesson. The teen brain is out monday. For more information go to let it ripple. Org. George thank you, maggie. Lets go over to robin. Robin great having maggie on this side of the pond. All right. We have Womens Basketball as we know taking center stage. This years ncaa Womens National championship game had a Record Number of viewers. And for the first time meeting a mens final. Wnba commissioner Cathy Engelbert is live to talk more about the state of the womens game. I know how busy you are, with just days from the draft. Cathy, appreciate you stopping by to speak with us like this. I love to get your take on what we are seeing in the womens game right now. Well, robin, its great to be here. And if you think about the confluence of so many positive elements going on in Womens Basketball. Everybody is talking about it. You know, the rise of womens sports, these players coming out with big social media following because of, you know, just the way that theyre presenting themselves on and off the court. Capital. We raised the capital two years ago, 75 million in capital. Deploying that to get ready for this moment, quite frankly. Maybe we didnt know we were getting ready for this moment. And then expansion is on the rise for us, as well as globalizing the game. Really, just, its all coming together at one time. Robin its the perfect storm, the perfect storm. With the record viewership, how will that translate . How do you want to it translate to the pro game . Well, i have been reflecting a lot on how it does translate. So when the one thing i learned in sports after coming in from a long career in business is you need household names, rivalries and games of consequence. March madness delivered on all three of those coming off last years National Championship with angel and caitlin, little rivalry. They met in the elite eight this year, then paige and caitlin on the friday night. Then obviously undefeated South Carolina versus iowa on sunday. Theres a lot that translates into our game. We do have a 40 game season not just a three week tournament. Were already seeing such positive ticket sales and merch. We just put out our broadcast schedule yesterday. Everybody is excited about the matchups. Thats drawing a lot of attention and lot of eyes to the game. Robin we talk about Caitlin Clark, the Caitlin Clark effect. Angel reese. There are a lot of rookies coming in. This is a very deep draft. Is it not . Really deep draft monday night. Camilla cardoso, most outstanding player in the final. Shes 6 7 and really increased her draft stock. Rakia jackson. This was, robin, the funnest part of my week is calling these College Players and inviting them live in brooklyn for the wnba draft monday night. Funnest part of my job because theyre so excited and so fresh coming off their seasons. Really looking forward to reading their names on monday night. Robin im sure that you are. Theyre looking forward to hearing you read their names monday night at the draft. Full disclosure, youre there in augusta at the masters. You are saying even there you are feeling the effects, the impact of the womens game even there. How so . Oh, everybodys talking about it, whether they know im the commissioner or not. I can just hear people talking about it. Yesterday, by one of the practice putting greens there was a guy in a Caitlin Clark jersey. He was watching zach johnson, whos from iowa. He and caitlin had played in a pro am, the john deere classic. Fun to kind of mix golf and basketball. Nellie carter is doing some Amazing Things in golf. Got asked about Caitlin Clark and the hype around her. You know when youre at a venerable place like this and theyre talking Womens Basketball, its fun for me. Its fun to chat with by the way, lot of girls, men, families. Lot of people watched that game sunday. As you said, 18. 7 million. 24 million at peak. Robin yeah. Its been fun to listen and watch to everybodys perspective on why they love this game. They love watching the womens tournament. Robin i knew you would know the exact numbers. You had it to the t, to the t. Peaking over the 24 million like that. Finally, you kind of touched upon this, upon this. Tangibles, what are the tangibles that you are seeing that there is proof that theres anticipation for the upcoming wnba season . Right. So one, everybody is talking about it. Two, were seeing it in ticket sales, merch sale, Corporate Partnerships stepping up, increased media coverage. It is a little bit like the, if you build it they will come, and that magic moment from 1979 when two great stars came in to the ncaa be a big rivalry and coast to coast, boston l. A. It was our phoment. Were going to build and market. Marketing will be really important this year. Story telling. We also have the olympic, where usa Womens National team will go for their eighth consecutive gold medal. That will be a great moment. Lots of excitement. Lots of stories to tell. I think thats what draws fans in to watch, to buy, to attend. Im really excited to see our arenas full this year. Robin we are, too. Cathy, thank you again. Enjoy augusta. Enjoy your time there. Thank you. Ill be back. Ill be back saturday. Getting ready for the draft. Robin we know that. We will let everybody know the 2024 wnba draft will take place monday, april 15th starting at 7 30 p. M.

This story is very close to my heart. Its my nephew jeremiah. Heres his journey. Sometimes treatments for cancer can lead to other serious medical issues. Thats what im facing right now. This was the moment i shared my diagnosis of mds. Mylodysplastic syndrome. It is a rare blood disorder that affects the bone marrow. And my need for a stem cell transplanted. Thankfully, my eldest sister sally ann was my Perfect Match. She is going to be my donor. Shes going to be my donor. But 70 of patients strangers. My sisters healthy cells giving me the gift of life. After you recover from transplant, you will get her allergy, her blood type. You wont get her taste for music though. [ laughter ] robin promise . Promise . There is nothing but joy in knowing that you have something in your body that can save another human beings life. Robin my nephew jeremiah, who i lovingly call little jer, a kid who loved wearing his spiderman suit, watching throughout the journey. I think what stands out to me most at that time was my aunts unwaivering strength. Robin to his surprise, his mom told him to sign up. My mom told me to sign up. Kind of like a mandatory suggestion. Robin shortly later, he got the call. He was a match. But he said no. Unfortunately, at the time, i was just thinking about me. I was acting selfishly. I didnt heed the call up until this point. I was very very sure that that was going to be the biggest mistake of my life. Robin but hed have a Second Chance. This past january, jeremiah learning once again hes a match. Because i have been thinking about that person every single day, it was just impossible for me to not say yes. He did not hesitate. He was ready. Robin this time jers all in. Hell need five days of injections to help stimulate his blood stem cells to prepare for donation day. All right. Thats how you do it. Nmdp, formerly, be the match, facilitating it all, covering the cost for flight, hotel, transportation. Jeremiah traveling from new york to houston for the big day. All right. Im at the hotel.

Im just grateful to god that i can go from pretending to be a hero to growing older learning what is important and saving a life. Very thankful. Robin needless to say, i am so proud of little jer. The courage and candor to share the complete story. When we talked about the story, when he told me we do a family zoom prayer the last saturday of every month. He said, auntie, im a match. I grade, thats great. My producer mind goes into work. I said we should do something on the show to show full circle. He called and said, its set. He said, i didnt do it the first time. I never knew it. He said, but i want to make sure people realize i didnt do it, but im doing it now to show, you can that happens so many times for various reasons people decide not to do it. He just wanted to show, its okay. He knows the fears. But if you just work through it. Its so important for young people like my nephew. Research has shown that they are the outcomes for the recipient are better when you have young donors. George he is lucky to have a Second Chance. Robin hes gotten a Second Chance. He has given a stranger a Second Chance. All he knows is she lives in england. He is so relieved hes gotten a Second Chance. Michael he said it was the biggest regret. He thought about it every day since he said no. Robin yeah, yeah. Michael glad he said yes. Whats being done to make it easier for those who get the call . Robin im glad you asked that. Lot of people cant take time off from work and things like that. So nmdp, former by be the match, they are working on a life saving leave act with congress to offer stem cell donors the same protection that the medical and family leave act provides.

How that spiderman outfit that he kept on for like two years. He had it with him when he was donating. I said, he always wanted to be a super hero and he is now. He said no, just an average person that wanted to get the word out that you, too, can do it. Way to go, jer. Michael glad he shared. Robin yeah. Ginger . Ginger thank you. Wow.

Lot of fun smells. Lot of great characters. We spent two months with them. Reporter nat geo explorer gregory has spent the last decade to capture penguins in the wild. This time tracking a flock of baby penguins. The thing that gets my blood racing the most is the idea that if we just keep going around, the next corner or the next corner, we might get to see something that no one has ever seen before. Reporter thats just what happened. Its called fledging when they take their first swim. Normally they jump off sea ice which is one or two feet high. We were noticing the trains of chicks were going past to a different place. So i launched the drone, flew it over there to see what was going on and realized they were stacking up at the edge of a huge 50 foot ice cliff. One by one they started to jump off this 50 foot ice cliff. Take their first swims in the ocean. Reporter for the First Time Ever capturing this rare cliff diving behavior on video. They were falling. There were big chunks of ice floating in the water underneath them. Its like falling on to a chunk of concrete. To my amazement they were not just surviving but popping up going, i can swim this is their first swim ever. First swim of their lives. So incredible. That footage will be featured in a new documentary coming out next year. For now, for more amazing earth month content check out the our Home Collection on disney . George . George so cool.
