Transcripts For KGO Good Morning America 20140610

And beating the odds. These twins conjoined at birth, separated at 10 months. Now speaking out for the first time on their 18th birthday about their medical miracle kept secret for so long. Now, its time for america to meet these covaledictorians. Only on gma. We do say good morning, america. And, yes, we did say covaledictorians. They are truly remarkable young women, and we cannot wait to share this shore with you. That is coming up. Also, Hillary Clinton is standing by. Robin is going to talk to her. After the breaking news, a deadly incident in afghanistan. Five americans killed. It looks like friendly fire. Martha raddatz has the details. Reporter good morning, george. These were American Special operations forces. They were out on a mission with Afghan Forces on a security patrol. They were ambushed by the taliban, coming under heavy fire, so they called in air support. That means they want warplanes to come help them out. It was an american b1 bomber that dropped the bomb. In addition to five american soldiers who were killed, there was one afghan soldier, as well, and we do not know how many wounded. Martha, you have been one of these missions on fighter jets. Do you understand how this could happen . This is a very rare occurrence. The mission i was in a fighter jet was very similar to this one when troops on the ground came under fire. There were a series of careful steps before mew anythings are dropped and there is what is called a forward air control. That is someone on the ground with those troops essentially confirming the spot where the bombs would be dropped. Im told on this deadly mission, there was some miscommunication about the grid and clearly the bomb was dropped on the wrong spot, george. Just a tragic mistake. Okay. Martha, thanks very much. Now, lets over to robin. Now to Hillary Clinton joining us live and exclusively, very much in the news right now with her new book out today, its called hard choices fo s focusing on major digs in her personal and public life. Madam secretary, welcome. Thank you. I couldnt help but see how intently you were watching that report. It makes me so sick. Its bad enough to lose anybody, but if these reports turn out to be accurate that it was friendly fire, there was some kind of mista mistake, it just compounds the grief and what is going on over there. That very much stays in the news and close to you. Much reaction already to your book and your interview last night with diane about benghazi. And you wrote in the book about your decision about iraq and the vote there and how you know now and that you should have admitted earlier that you made a mistake. So, when it comes to benghazi, because it was very interesting, madam secretary, you say saying you made a mistake is often taken as weakness when, in fact, it can be a sign of strength and growth. So when it comes to benghazi, do you believe you made any mistakes. Well, i believe that there were systemic problems within the state department, and clearly if we had known that earlier, perhaps we could have done some changes that would have prevented, at least hopefully, could have prevented what happened. But ive obviously thought about this long and hard, and the Security Issues around this attack or the attacks we had when my husband was president or when president reagan was in office, you learn from them. You cant always predict, you always sit in an office in washington and say, well, we think this, this and this will happen. So i believe the independent review reached the right conclusion. There were problems and they needed to be addressed, and we did. Whether those could have been understood earlier, im just not sure about that, robin. You also talked a bit about your health. But i want to go first about money because that is Something Else that the reaction has been very strong about what you said to diane about you and your husband leaving the house as you said, dead broke, using the words struggling and that it wasnt easy when Many Americans are in the same situation but they though they dont have a book and any opportunities that you have. Any regrets in how you phrased that . Let me clarify that i fully appreciate how hard life is for so Many Americans today. Its an issue that i have worked on and cared about my entire adult life. Bill and i were obviously blessed. We worked hard for everything we got in our lives, and we have continued to work hard, and we have been blessed in the last 14 years, but i want to use the talents and resources i have to make sure other people get the same chances. So, for me, its just a reality what we faced when he got out of the white house meant that we had to just keep working really hard. We always have. Thats who we are. Were grateful that we can do that. I worry a lot about people that i know personally that dont have the same opportunities that weve been given. Can you understand the reaction when you say struggling . And when you say yes, i can. But i think everything in life has to be put into context and as i recall, we were Something Like 12 million in debt. And, you know, that was something that we really had to work hard. I was in the senate and could not do anything to help us meet those obligations. And im very grateful that my husband whos always been a hard worker since he was born poor and given opportunities with a good education and strong values to work hard and take responsibility, he did that. So, you know, we understand what that struggle is because we had student debts, both of us, we had to pay off. I had a couple of jobs in law school. He had a lot of jobs. So we have a Life Experience that is clearly different in very dramatic ways from Many Americans, but we also have gone through some of the same challenges as many people have. Some people were surprised that you didnt after all that you read and wrote in the book really talk about your concussion that you had in 2012, in light of your husband just last month saying that it took six months of serious work in recovery, so it makes people believe that it was more serious. Well, two things about that. I also broke my elbow as secretary of state. I didnt write about that either because, thankfully, you know, those were behind me. And i didnt have to continue to worry about them. What bill is referring to is that when i had the concussion and it was diagnosed, the doctor said, look, youre going to be fine, youre going to fully recover. Were going to make sure of that by telling you what to do and how to do it and i did have some lingering effects. I had dizziness, i had double vision and i work ed out. They said, in six months, we need to have you come back and do a full array of tests to make sure everything is fine and it was. I think thats what he meant. It was no surprise that you talked a great deal about president obama and how onetime rival and now the friendship that you were able to forge and how it was like being on a first date ash it was. After the election. It was. His Foreign Policy comes under a great deal of criticism. Right. At an alltime low. If you are to run in 2016, given that you have supported him so strong on his Foreign Policy, will you have to distance yourself . No. Because i mean the reason i called this book hard choices is because thats what any president faces. I remember very well my husband being in the white house, making some hard choices that were not popular at the time but being able to persevere and everybody could see the results, whether it was in the balkans or bailing out mexico in its financial crisis or anything along those lines and in the book im very clear, there were areas that i disagreed with the president on, i talk about those, but we often reached the same conclusion. But at the end of the day hes the president. He gets to make the decision and i respect that 100 . So, for me, this is about trying to explain to americans how how any president , i dont care what party youre in, what perspective or experience you have, any president will face hard choices. Hard choices are made with imperfect information by imperfect people, and we have to be doing the best we can every day. Now, we have a great system here where we can have a vigorous public debate. Where people in washington, people in the press can say, why did you do that and whats the reason for it . Thats all part of our system. Which i think is the best system in the world. But the hard choices are going to keep coming and where i disagree with president obama, i will be clear, but in many areas, he and i worked together, and i think we saw positive results. Im very proud of what we did during the time i was there. I think we restored americas leadership at a time when it was in quite dire straits. Well, we have much more to talk with you about but in a live format were going to have to break away. Well come back with you a little bit later. You talked a lot in the publication about sexism, how its a different climate now as opposed to when you ran for president. Lets hope. And how it would be different if you were to run in 2016. And a lot of people weighing in. Sarah palin sent a tweet overnight. Well get your reaction to what she had to say about a quote in your book. Now, back to george. Now to that Dramatic Police chase caught on camera. An armed man shutting down roads in los angeles. Abcs david wright has the story. We just saw the suspect stick something outside the left drivers side window. Reporter a dramatic chase. The armed suspect running from police at over 100 miles an hour. The drama unfolding live on local news. What looked to be an Assault Rifle. Reporter driving that red nissan altima, he branished a highpowered assault weapon outside the window snaking for an hour, the police in hot pursuit. Watch as the pan difficulties the car, and runs near the school. Especially this part. You could see that this suspect has high ground up on the roof. Reporter the suspect raced over rooftops, Assault Rifle in hand. Forcing entire neighborhoods in lockdown. Area schools evacuated. Parents anxiously texting their kids to make sure they were safe. It was pretty nerveracking. Reporter finally the suspect holed up in this North Hollywood home. The s. W. A. T. Teams held at bay another three hours. Finally police fired tear gas into the home, forcing him out, face down on the grass, he surrendered. The suspect now identified as 41yearold nolan perez, a convicted felon, wanted for stalking and making criminal of threats. He faces a slew of other charges. The incredible thing, no one was injured here. Even by hollywood standards this was a wild ride. George, robin. A tense situation. David, thanks very much. Now to the v. A. Scandal which is now a criminal investigation. An extensive new report reveals that more than 100,000 veterans waited to see a doctor. And some never saw a doctor at all and some were pressured to falsify records. Abcs jim avila with the latest. Reporter now the v. A. Scandal has now become a criminal investigation. A Bipartisan Group of 21 senators writing to the attorney general urging the fbi to join the hunt. Overnight, the acting Inspector General telling the Senate Veterans Affairs Committee that the department of justice has, in fact, been called in to dein supervisors deserve to be criminally prosecuted. We have been in discussion with the department of justice concerning those and whether or not in the opinion of the department of justice, they rise to the level of criminal prosecution. Reporter the ig telling congress hospital supervisors directed schedulers to cook the books. And now the Veterans Administration itself finding that the scheme to hide wait times for veterans to see doctors is widespread. The v. A. Audit released monday determining that 57,000 veterans have been waiting to see doctors for more than three months. And schedulers at 90 clinics across the country admit they made it appear vets are getting quick access to medical care when theyre not. Veterans groups say its time for massive reform. It turns out that we knew this problem was bad. We didnt realize how bad it was. Reporter the c. A. Says its calling vets one by one to get them off waiting lists and into doctors offices. A total of 50,000 contacted so far. We also have to work to earn back the trust of our veterans. And well do that one veteran at a time. Reporter this is the first time the Inspector General has reve revealed that he has called in the attorney general to determine if theres been criminal activity at the v. A. Scandal that raise this is to a whole new levelment were going to turn to dan with the other top stories. In for amy. Breaking news, one of the largest cities in iraq appears to have fallen to al qaeda. Insurgents have taken control of government buildings and the airport in mosul while local police and Army Officers have simply fled their posts. This is a major blow to iraqs Central Government created, of course, in which america spent hundreds of billions of dollar and lost hundreds of thousands of lives. Also happening right now, 20 more schoolgirls have reportedly been kidnapped by militants in nigeria. The same Group Holding nearly 300 girls who have not been seen since april. Fresh outrage in congress this morning over the deal that freed Bowe Bergdahl and during a classified brief ing house lawmakers say they were told it was defense secretary hagel that made the final call to carry out the prisoner swap.

Another breaking, although perhaps not shocking story this morning, clippers owner Donald Sterling has changed his mind again. He now says he wont be selling the team and hell be suing the nba. Sterling is expected in court today to challenge the deal that his wife made to sell the team for 2 billion. New video this morning from Central Florida showing the exact moment this sheriffs helicopter became the target of a dangerous laser attack nearly blinding the crew. The pilot used a nightvision camera to pinpoint the lasers location and tracked down a 19yearold suspect who could now face federal charges. The fbi recently announced a National Crackdown on laser attacks. And finally in the news this morning, talk about being embarrassed on the national stage, quite literally, the Uconn Basketball Team was being honored at the white house when star player Stefanie Dolson took a tumble. Her heels got caught but she recovered brilliantly doing a little bit of a curtsy for the crowd. Consider this irony, last year, dollson was confident to challenge president obama to a dance competition. Needless to say the president is now just a little more confident. By the way, the president did take part or did promise to take part in the aforementioned dance contest but off camera he says he doesnt want to embarrass his daughters. Thats a wise man. The children of embarrassing fathers everywhere, mr. President , we salute you. Fathers day. Fathers day coming up, as well. Lets take a look at some video coming in right now of the u. S.

Traffic is so bad in that country, people take helicopters to get around. I was there last you do that anyway. Youre used to that. Im a pretty high roller. I dont know if you knew that about me. If you stay around long enough, cecily, this is what happens. You can get around yes. So you are in, of course, for our honeymooning ginger zee. Good to have you back. No helicopter for mere. I want to begin the weather with a teachable moment. Its a video that shows the true power of mother nature, and this is from saratoga springs, new york, and it shows you why you do not want to be under a tree during a lightning storm.

Reporter over the course of hours, two helicopters tried to fly in to rescue them but turned around because it was too windy. They were forced to spend the night huddling together spooning for warmth and try to keep fear from creeping in. We built a wind wall on the ledge and slept on that. It was absolutely tiny. Probably the size of a bathtub. Reporter after a freezing night, a third helicopter made it in, lowering a hoist to rescue her. This morning, shes plenty sore, but getting better, and she knows it could have been so much worse. I dont think i would be do anything differently if i went back other than to not go.

Reporter emily and caitlin copeland, 18yearold identical twins who can share an easy laugh, a love for cooking and a bond few can ever imagine. Emily and caitlin were born conjoined. Fused at the chest, liver and bowel ducts. Their parents were thrilled to hear they were pregnant with twins until the doctors told them they were conjoined. Of course, our minds went completely blank the minute she said conjoined twins. That was a long, hard, horrible weekend. I think the biggest thing was the lack of information that we had on the whole situation. There just wasnt anything good on the internet. It was all, you know, one baby survives separation, the other died, that was the worst. Yeah. Reporter doctors at childrens memorial herman hospital in houston did everything to ensure a Safe Delivery for the first case of conjoined twins. But there was hope. Fortunately the heart was not shared. It was going to be a rough trip the rest of the way. Reporter but there was hope. I didnt think there was anything that would prevent us from doing a separation. Reporter fast forward, 18 years later, the twins who were successfully separated at 10 months are more than thriving. They are covaledictorians of their high school class. About to head off to college. Eh . Thats the first time were going to be separated more permanently so kind of speaking out a little bit. Reporter how do you feel about that, emily . Being away from your sister for the first time. Its scary. Like sometimes when i start overchilling it, i get really, really sad. Reporter while their connection may be strong their interests are different. Caitlin likes sports. Emily prefers to knit and stay outside. Caitlin likes sports. Emily prefers vegetables. A little yin and yang. An extra vert and youre quieter . I think at school, thats how people would describe us. I think when were together we both get loud. Reporter and sisterly. Yeah. Reporter the girls dont remember being clue is the scar on their chest, but they feel the closeness every day. You seem so close. And i think being conjoined, you can actually look at a picture and say, wow, they really were close. Its true. The physical aspect is 100 true emotionally. I respect the fact that your family, youre very passionate about your faith and about helping others and sitting down right now, its not about you two, its about those families who may have faced what it is that your family had to face. Were so blessed to have this happen to us. I would say to other families, just dont expect the worst. I hope we can help so many people and just be, if anything, just like a something, a story to read and smile when everything looks bad. Sisters, spreading their message of hope and love. Boy, they have great smiles. They do. Made us smile. They talked about their parents, when they were told that they were going to have conjoined twins and they went online and everything was just their hope, when people google about conjoined twins, that theyll see their story and know that there is hope. Yes, it is difficult. But there are good outcomes like this. Covaledictorians. Unbelievable. And a little humor. Humor always gets you through those tough times. Indeed. Coming up, what men are really thinking. Con federal governments from a serial and successful dater. What he learned about himself and women. Bad habits that could be draining you right now.

Sorry. Carry on. Now to our heat index, could researchers have cracked the code are you ready for this to get kids to eat their veggies. One of the most popular stories on the New York Times website revealing the solution to the problem could be on how to pitch it. What do you say to them. Of this things like you have to avoid telling them veggies will make you smarter or stronger. A professor at the university of chicago who coauthored the study that when feeding children, quote, nothing helps beyond no message whatsoever. Just treat veggies like any other food and hope for the best. It doesnt taste like any other food. Nothing is going to make a difference is what hes saying. I like you kind of hide it a little bit. Put it in certain foods and stuff like that. I found that to be very effective. As long as you keep it separate from Everything Else you got a fighting chance. Like no food can change. Very strange phenomenon in the household. I do think theres something in the kidship where they think if something is good for you, it must not taste good so if there is a way to sort of make those worlds mingle. Can we get this boy band thats on the show, r5, to eat veggies. Also burning up the heat index, trending big overnight on our website at abc news, an article breaking down 15 bad habits that drain your energy, skipping exercise when youre tired, not consuming enough iron and heres a big one, checking your email at bedtime and one we talked a lot about here if you have trouble saying no. Another one right there. We want to bring in dr. Richard besser for his thoughts. The one that stuck out to me was definitely skipping the exercise when youre tired is going to hurt you. You think, im too tired to exercise. Im going to skip the gym today. But actually, exercise increasing your energy level. Its been shown. You know, it may be something as simple as getting up, taking a brisk walk around the block. That may give you the energy that you were lacking. I like i wanted to talk about the one we talked about off camera yesterday about saying no. And how were often were such a pleaser. That was one of the most surprising ones to me but its true. People who cant say no, you end up using energy on activities you didnt want to do in the first place. You put those things together, by the end of the day, you feel like you have had no time for yourself. Youve been doing all these things you dont want to do and youre exhausted. Then you dont want to go to work for the next three days. You may have to practice just say no, dan. You may have to practice saying no. Starting right now. I read a great tip i think it was on slate, the way to do it when someone asks you something would you do it tomorrow, kind of gives you the answer. Thats good. You can practice in the car saying no. Do you want to do the next story . No. Do you want to do the medical story . No. Easy. I love it. Its actually liberating.

It might not be as sinter as it sounds but now hes having second thoughts on his lifestyle. Ryan smith is here with the story. Hey, ryan. Reporter good morning, george. Millions of people date each year online trying to find that special person but for some guys, it can feel like being a kid in the candy store. One man finds that the addictive nature of Online Dating can make it hard to settle down. Online dating, its the new normal for many singles hoping to try find true love but is it creating a new ladies man. Someone who simply cant be satisfied. Its very hard to date somebody and not think about the 20 other beautiful girls that are waiting for you in your mailboxes. Reporter meet joshua pompeii, Online Dating and relationship expert for the huffington post. On Online Dating i was a disaster. Reporter these are all different women . All different women. Reporter hes a selfproclaimed online god among men with women contacting him by the hundreds. In his article, has Online Dating turned me into a bad person . Confessions of a professional online dater. Hes coming clean. He writes the time when i appreciated women for both their perfections and imperfections is long gone. In a world of unlimited options, there is no longer room for imperfections. You know, sometimes im torn. Sometimes i wonder is there too many options and i do enjoy just meeting im not going to lie meeting beautiful girls. Reporter josh says hes not a bad guy. Hes just being honest and knows how to connect with women online giving him more options than he can choose from making it harder to find and want a relationship. The newness can be somewhat of an addiction. Reporter but theres no love lost for him. Not someone i would date. This is the guy i would avoid. Reporter hes been called everything from a narcissist to a psychopath to which he says not perfect but im going to live my life the way i want to live it. All right, despite the criticism and i see you guys reacting longterm he stands by his tapes and says hes still look for lasting love online in his early 30s and hopes to settle down by 35. Good luck with that. What do you have to say, donna barnes . I think its clear that he has commitment issue. It gave him the access to come up against his issues. We dont know what our issues are unless something triggers them. So i think having so many people available to him which is the wonderful thing about online, hes now been by picking the faults in people, thats a clear sign of making a commitment to somebody. And getting married at 35 which he says he wants to do. We heard what other people think about him. He even says hes a horrible person. Is he . Well, hopefully thats the catalyst to make him look inside and start doing some changing if hes unhappy with who he is because thats where change comes from. Its like, he cant be a cad, if women didnt allow him to be. He says that hes telling women, hey, look, im not look for anything serious and theyre excuse me ignoring that. I think that happens all too often. We have a connection. Im amazing but thats not true. Hes telling his truth. You need to hear that. Why are they ignoring that . Because everybody just wants what they want. And others try to decide what others are thinking and feeling, and the most dangerous way is when you really think, ooh, he likes me, he acts like he likes me. Hes hot for me. All people are different. He thinks women can change him. Is it okay to date a lot of people online . Yes, if youre using it to find the person whos right for you, i think its the best way. It makes so many more people available to you. You can kind of vet somebody, you can see if you have commonality. I would love to take this broader, so, you said you have a lot of clients who think men, and im not trying to stereotype, these are your clients who believe its very difficult for men to be monogamous. What do you say to them . No, it depends on the man. No man can be faithful. I have women to saying to me, no man can be faithful because theyve had experience with men that cheat but i have an awful lot of male clients who say, i dont want more than with one person. I have enough to ham with this one person and thats all i want so i think, yes, absolutely you can be monogamous. Its a choice. Its a funny way to put it. The story that makes me very glad im no longer single. Yes. Exactly. It was a pretty tough read. I mean well, good for him for being honest and even sparking the conversation. But i think, you know, especially when you meet someone online, you feel like you know them. Youve chatted with them but you dont. Thats the real key. Not to jump into something quickly. Take the time to get to know them. As always, great advice. Thanks. We move on now to Something Else thats burning up the heat index. Its an experiment about makeup. How men and women perceive other women who wear a full face, some or none at all. Abcs juju chang. Reporter they say beauty is only skin deep, but a recent survey claims that nearly half of american women admit they wouldnt be caught dead without a little makeup on. And that 44 say they feel unattractive without it. We feel more confident. We exude confidence. Reporter but can the amount of makeup you pack on your face increase the way youre perceived by others . 21yearold College Senior Brittany Parker decided to find out. Conducting a oneweek cosmetic experiment using herself as a guinea pig wearing makeup, everydaylight makeup and a smoky eye fullface and posted her results on on line. Its focusing on appearances. Reporter day one, no makeup. Her boyfriend thought she had fallen ill as did so many others. I got a lot of comments saying you look like you had a long weekend. Reporter she said day two wearing light makeup was a bit easier. It was all women who commented. No guys made any comments about my appearance. But a lot of girls were like, wow, you look really cute. Reporter but on the last day of her experiment donning pink pouty lips and smoky eyes she was bombarded with praise. I had a guy ask me if i was going out that night because it looked like i was ready to party. Reporter the truth is this is how i normally spend my days. Its only when i come to work when i layer on the war paint and this is me after. What impact does wearing makeup have on not just the wearer but on the perceiver . Well, when they wear makeup, we feel more confident and what happens is we come across as more credible. Reporter as for brittany she says her experiment has changed her definition of beauty. What i think of myself is important. Not anybody else. Reporter for good morning america, juju chang, abc news, new york. You guys commenting on it. Yeah. Than we do. Now were going to go to the woman who considers herself a reallife mermaid swimming with the sharks. All the way to raise awareness about marine life in the oceans and matt gutman has that story. Reporter one of the largest predators was bearing down on anna frazier. Lady boots with no air and like jaws. But for frazier the sharks were close enough. The professional mermaid has taken her tale all over the world suiing with manta rays and whales and sharks. But here, she was hoping to become the first human to plant a kiss, yes, a kiss, on a shark able to kill her with a single chomp. A tiger shark in front of us. Reporter watch as the diver hauls that crate of bait and those sharks right over frazier. We traveled out to the bahamas to watch fraziers rhythmic protest of the worldwide killing of sharks. Who she says are misportrayed as maneaters. You surrendered yourself to these animals. It was not one single moment where i felt like the shark was trying to attack, was interested in eating me. Reporter but the risks are real. A nurse shark did this . That shark dance is part of a featured film tears of a mermaid, chronicling the mass extinction that some say is happening now. Includes tens of millions of sha sharks average kill only six a year. If we can stay peaceful, they also stay peaceful. Reporter and thankfully not a single mermaid. For good morning america, matt gutman, abc news, in the bahamas. Thats amazing. That is. That is. All right.

Anywhere from 1 to 17 degrees cooler today. The sea breeze is back for all neighborhoods. 100s are gone today, 90s are gone by tomorrow i [ cheers and applause ] not too hard to see baby [ cheers and applause ] r5 warming up the crowd here in times square. Theyre red hot right now since their debut album. Cannot wait to hear a lot more from them. Inside, we want to go back to robin. Were back with Hillary Clinton author of the new book that is out today. Its titled hard choices. Hard choices and what questions to go with you first. We talked with you in our first half hour and we want to talk about the reaction you have from sarah palin. She read your book. He posted on twitter. In your book, you stated that the Obama Administration at the time, asked you to be critical of her when she was selected as the vp nominee and you refused to do it, and so the former governor, she tweeted this, she said look who fired the first shot in the real war on women. Hint, it wasnt the gop, see this excerpt from hillarys book. Thats not exactly what i said. What i said was in beginning the process of working with then senator obama after i ended my campaign, we had, as i describe in the book, an awkward but necessary meeting to clear the air on a couple of issues, and one of them was the sexism that, unfortunately, was present in that 08 campaign. Were you asked to be critical of her . Yes. At that point. That very first day, the Obama Campaign said, well, we want you to go out and criticize her. I said, for what . For being a woman . No. Lets wait until we find out where she stands. I dont know anything about her. Do you know anything about her and nobody, of course, did. I think its fair to say that i made it clear im not going to go attack somebody for being a woman or a man. Im going to try to look at the issues, where they stand, what their experience is, what they intend to do, and then thats fair game. You have been out there of course speaking on womens rights. I have seen you out there and talking about womens rights or human rights are what is most important here. You in usa today, front page, talking about is it true, do you think the climate is different now for a woman running for president than in 08 . Well, robin, i think its different for women across the board, not just in the political sphere that we continue to have these obstacles to womens full participation. Its true in the corporate sphere, in journalism, in academia, across the board, but i think over the last six, seven year, there has been a much greater awareness in the American Public about the double standard, so i really believe that theres a great discussion going on now and whether its somebody running for president or somebody climbing the corporate ladder or broadcasting or anything else, theres much greater awareness, and thats all to the good. Lets talk about family. Yes. You and your husband have very intense schedules. How much quality time lets say how many days of the month are you actually able to be together . Now that im not travel endlessly a lot we are together a lot. I mean, we just have a lot of time, and its probably as much time as we have had together, you know, for a number of years, because were always working hard, we like to work hard, but we also really relish the time together. And the family is growing. Youre going to be a grandmother in the fall. Im going to be grandmother. Have you offered any names to chelsea . No. I want this to develop organically. I have talked to my friends who have preceded me into grandmotherhood, and some of them said, i knew exactly what i wanted to be called, and i had a hard time convincing the baby to call me that because he or she wanted to call me Something Else. I just want to see how this develops. I couldnt be happier. This is something that ive looked forward for a long time. The way you write about her in the book, thats quite obvious. And the wedding. And in the seconds we have remaining, something we call of a lightning round. Youre known for your sense of humor. So just quick responses to some of the things that people are asking. Who is your favorite republican in congress . Oh, well, despite my problems sometimes with him, john mccain, because he and i have traveled a lot, and, you know, we argue a lot. And he goes off on something that i disagree with, but, you know, i admire him. And ive spent a lot of time with him. And whos the person living that you admire the most . Well, living is hard because it used to be Nelson Mandela and probably desmond tutu. Politicians you would let babysit your future grandchild . There are a lot of them. You know, im very close to a lot of the women in the senate. And im putting out the offer right now. If any of them want to babysit, all they need to do is call. Theyve got my number. Id be thrilled to have them. Game three of the nba finals. Heat or spurs so you have to go with texas or florida. Florida, when you pose it like that. When you pose it like that. Okay, youve heard it here first. Thank you so much. Thanks, robin. To be here with us live with all you have going on. Appreciate it. Hard choices out today. Thanks. Take care. Another final check of the weather with cecily. Thank you, robin. A lot of people out here for r5. Emily and justina, you have a message for rob. Yes, i do. What is that. I want to take a selfie with him. Okay, all right, rob, you heard it here. Pressure is on. Lets talk about the weather. We had 119 reports of Severe Weather yesterday, and that threat continues from louisiana into kentucky, strong winds, large hail, even the possibility of some tornadoes. Thats the big ppicture. This Weather Report has been brought to you by nextcard. Dan. Im here with two of the stars of 22 jump street, the hot new sequel to 21 jump street. Wyatt russell and Amber Stevens joining the cop duo of Channing Tatum and jonah hill. You have a bromance in the movie with channing which makes jonah a little jealous. Yeah, channing finds a Kindred Spirit in the character i play. And the character i play, captain of the footballtype guy. Channing sees in him what he could have been, and it becomes about whether you should be with somebody thats like or opposite of you. You actually have a fullon romance with jonah. Romance, oh, yeah. What makes your character and i cant tell if that was an enthusiastic enthusiastic. What makes your character fall in love with jonah hill .
