Reporter mondays shootout happened in a tobacco shop in new yorks trendy west village as officers tried to arrest this man, 32yearold Charles Mozdir accused of molesting a child. It was at close range and the officers returned fire. Reporter the suspect was killed while the officers suffered nonlifethreatening injuries. This bulletproof vest likely saving a life. As you can see, there was an entrance just to the left of the vest. Reporter mozdir, a former wedding photographer, was wanted in california after not showing up for his arraignment. He had been on the run for two years and had been working at this tobacco shop. We executed a search warrant at his residence, and it appeared he had left in a hurry. Reporter he was finally spotted thanks to a television show. We all felt that he had a secret life. Reporter cnns program the hunt hosted by john walsh. Charles mozdir did a great job and spent his whole life doing this great job. You know what his great job was . Hiding from everybody what he really was.

This is the guy that was hiding in plain sight. Just give us the one tip, and that one tip may save somebodys life. Officials say mozdir was licensed to carry a handgun in california, but thats not the weapon that was used in the shootout. The parents of the victim say they are relieved now that they dont have to live in fear anymore, and as for those injured officers, theyre in stable condition, and they are expected, thankfully, to make a full recovery from that. Thank goodness for that. Boy. Such a busy area too. Uhhuh. Were going to get the latest now on the New Hampshire teenager missing for nine months, suddenly returned home last week. A suspect has been arrested on kidnapping charges expected in court this afternoon. Abcs ryan smith is tracking the case from conway, New Hampshire. Good morning, ryan. Reporter good morning, george. Today the man accused of kidnapping Abigail Hernandez will be arraigned in this courthouse. On monday he was arrested in a local trailer park. Police telling residents to stay inside as s. W. A. T. Teams desc d descended on their property to take into custody the man behind the disappearance. They say. This morning, 34yearold Nathaniel Kibby is sitting in a jail accused of felony kidnapping in the disappearance of Abigail Hernandez. Prosecutors saying he confined the now 15yearold girl with the purpose of committing an offense against her. What offense is still unknown. According to abc affiliate wmur, kibby kept a storage container that some are referring to as an aboveground bunker in his backyard. I havent noticed anything unusual. Reporter overnight hernandez who disappeared nine months ago saying in a statement, its an incredible feeling to be home, and i believe in my heart that your hopes and prayers played a major role in my release. Officials say a traumatized hernandez, who family says is malnourished and unable to eat solid foods, is now helping investigators piece together clues to understand where she has been. Kibbys neighbors are shocked wondering if abby was held in that storage container all along. I would hope that she cant be that close and nobody knew it. Reporter those clues leading them straight to kibby in the town of gorham just 34 miles away from her familys home. Hernandez initially thought to be a runaway until her mother received a letter from her in november. It was really just numbing for the first maybe three weeks, four weeks and then i received a letter and it was like exhilarating. Someone may now be manipulating her and her safety is still absolutely in question. Reporter last sunday after nine long months of searching, hernandez returned home. A family friend was with abby and her mother when they learned of kibbys arrest. Now they can finally get to some closure. Now they just get to be the Hernandez Family again, and they havent had that for a long time. Police still arent revealing the details of the alleged kidnapping or how Abby Hernandez came to be reunited with her family but more should be revealed today at the arraign many or at the press conference scheduled to take place later today. George. Okay, ryan, thanks. Lets bring in our chief Legal Affairs anchor dan abrams and these kidnapping charges would hold even in abigail originally chose to go with the guy. Yeah. We dont know thats the case but it really wouldnt matter. Bottom line is under the law in New Hampshire, if he knowingly took away, enticed away, even concealed a child under the age of 18 who hes not related to to keep that child away from her parents, that would be the crime of kidnapping. But it could be relevant if he brought her back. Thats right. If, if, and its a big if, if he brought her back in a safe place and and this is the biggest if there wasnt serious Bodily Injury, that would that would be the big debate. That would be the big debate. If that were the case, returns her to a safe place and no serious Bodily Injury could be talking about taking it from a class a felony which would be 7 1 2 to 15 years to a class b felony of 3 1 2 to 7 years so the law is specifically designed to entice someone who engages in a kidnapping to return someone safely to their home. Again, we dont know and based on the condition shes in, i think there would be a real question as to whether there was no serious Bodily Injury. The details that come out today could be key. And there could be additional charges. Dan abrams, thanks very much. Lets go to amy with the other top stories. Good morning, everyone. And we begin with the story breaking overnight. Further escalating tensions with russia. The white house is now formally accusing moscow of violating a longstanding Nuclear Missile treaty when it tested a Cruise Missile system. President obama raising the issue in a letter to Vladimir Putin calling it a serious matter. This comes just as the u. S. And europe announced new sanctions against russia for the fighting in ukraine. Also breaking overnight, violence exploding in the middle east with the heaviest fighting yet. Israel bombarding gaza threatening a prolonged battle. At least 100 People Killed overnight. A palestinian official offered a 24hour truce, but it was rejected by hamas. Abcs david wright is in gaza. David. Reporter from midnight last night until daybreak this morning, no letup. More than five hours of continuous bombardment. Some of the shells whizzing right over our heads uncomfortably close. Truly a shock and awe campaign. When those shells struck the port, our whole building shook like an earthquake. Among the many targets hit, gazas main power station. Were now told itll be out of commission at least a year. Amy. All right, david wright in gaza, thank you. And back here at home, a rare earthquake jolted some people who have never felt the earth shake before. The 4. 3 magnitude quake struck northern oklahoma but was felt 100 miles away in kansas. Studies link recent tremors in oklahoma to oil and gas drilling. Well, no earthquakes, but more mysterious holes have opened up right there in siberia. Thats the same location where we showed a massive crater earlier this month. Scientists are puzzled about this. Theories range from meteorites to methane gas exploding. Well, Southwest Airlines is facing one of the largest penalties ever imposed by the faa. A 12 million fine for repair violations.

And finally, you may have heard of carbo loading, but check out olympic swimmer ryan lochtes dinner the other night. Unbelievable. Oh, my gosh. He tweeted this picture saying he was streamlining to prepare for his 10,000calorie meal. I like that he eats without his shirt. Including that tub of grilled chicken, an entire tray of mac and cheese, enough asparagus for two families and then theres some mystery food on the side there. No word on what he had for dessert but, again, i like that pose. Yeah. Lara, that was for you. Well, thank you. You can watch it go on. So, you know that makes me want to take up swimming if i can eat like that. Incredible. You actually do have some surprising news about exercise this morning. Oh, yeah, we do have some surprising news about exercise this morning. It kind of goes against Everything Else that we learned, and maybe i could eat like that, doc, after this news. Running on your treadmill may be as beneficial less running on your treadmill may be beneficial. So we got dr. Richard besser to tell us, is this true . This is very surprising. They followed 55,000 dulls for 15 years and they found that those who ran were 45 less likely during that period to die from heart disease, 30 less likely to die from all causes, but the surprising thing was, it didnt matter whether you ran 5 minutes a day or 30 minutes every day. What . At a hard speed. It didnt matter. If you were a runner, you got the benefit. So for me now i can cut back or actually i need to add five minutes a day to running for myself . We were talking we dont like to run, but the thing here is at the start of the segment people who run in general, they were healthier, there were less smokers, they were less obese so theyre healthier people, but the exciting thing here is its showing that any kind of exercise has some benefit, that you dont have to exercise like you in order to get some health out of this. But just very quickly, to runners out there who are watching this morning, they can cut back a little bit and still have the same benefit. I wouldnt say cut back. Id say the couch potatoes who are saying, i dont have 30 minutes a day get up and do something. Anything. Just so i nknow i havent wasted all that time pounding the pavement. We got to move over to ginger and the weather. A lot cooler here. Lets move. Lets move and run because thats how you stay warm this morning. Im going to get it all the way through.

Especially now that i live with a higher risk of stroke due to afib, a type of irregular heartbeat not caused by a heart valve problem. I was taking warfarin but wondered, could i focus on Something Better . My doctor told me about eliquis for three Important Reasons. One, in a Clinical Trial eliquis was proven to reduce the risk of stroke better than warfarin. Two, eliquis had less major bleeding than warfarin. And three, unlike warfarin theres no routine blood testing. [ male announcer ] dont stop taking eliquis unless your doctor tells you to, as stopping increases your risk of having a stroke. Eliquis can cause serious, and in rare cases, fatal bleeding. Dont take eliquis if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. While taking eliquis you may bruise more easily and it may take longer than usual for any bleeding to stop. Seek immediate medical care for sudden signs of bleeding like unusual bruising. Eliquis may increase your bleeding risk if you take certain medicines. Tell your doctor about all planned medical or dental procedures. Those three Important Reasons are why im shooting for Something Better. Eliquis. [ male announcer ] ask your doctor today if eliquis is right for you.

First well get to the nba star using social media to find the killer who brutally murdered his aunt. The plea from matt barnes of the l. A. Clippers touching hundreds of thousands on twitter and instagram. Abcs Abbie Boudreau sat down with him for an interview. Reporter basketball star matt barnes says he feels compelled to use his platform as a professional athlete to help police hunt down his aunts kill even if it means turning to twitter. Hes the nba star whos now using his celebrity status to launch what could be called the million tweet manhunt. Los angeles clippers small forward matt barnes pleading with his hundreds of thousands of twitter and instagram followers to keep an eye out for this man, Michael Williams, the prime suspect in the murder of barnes aunt. Having the platform that i had i want to speak out on social media and got some of my other friends to repost it and really have the whole city of scream on the lookout for this guy. Why not let police investigate. When its your family you feel like you can do more. You want to do more. Reporter williams, not just a suspect, also the husband of barnes aunt and police consider him extremely dangerous. Thats why barnes took the unusual step of taking to social media with this post this dude stabbed my auntie in the necklace week and left her for dead on the sidewalk. Then asked anyone with a lead to contact the police. In her last moments she was trying to speak and say who did it and what happened and you know she literally lost her voice. Reporter his aunt and williams were staying at a friends house on the morning of july 8th when he says the friend rushed outside to find hoover frustrating for her life and williams her husband was gone and she kept trying to say what do you think that mean. Without looking too far into it its probably michael, her husband. Sacramento police chief confirms with abc news that Michael Williams is their one and only suspect. I have some frustrated officers here because they thought they would be able to get this guy right away but well get him. Reporter he feels theyre closing in on the suspect and saying in part thanks to barnes. He has a following here in sacramento. And having his name attached with this and helping in this investigation will help us actually solve this matter. As for barnes as he gears up for the clippers Training Camp in a few months he promises to keep fighting for justice and his beloved aunt. And her unfortunate passing im hoping to be her voice and, you know, her eyes and ears and really try to help in any way possible. Police say they believe the suspect may still be hiding out in the sacramento area and if you have any information that could help bring this manhunt to an end youre asked to contact the Sacramento Police right away. George. All this communication helps. Thanks. Now we turn to the search for a missing oregon mom who vanished five days ago while running some errands. Her family says she would never have left on her own and suspect foul play but police say there are still no leads. Abcs Neal Karlinsky has the story. Reporter these pictures taken from a gas station surveillance camera show the last trace of 38yearold wife and mother Jennifer Huston before police say she vanished. This is totally unlike her. This shes a devoted mother. Reporter hustons husband and family joined police in oregon late monday to plead for any help at all. I have the feeling maybe shes in a ditch somewhere, also i would ask that people maybe just look behind buildings. Reporter her husband says he last saw her thursday night around 5 45 when she said she was heading out to run errands. Police say Surveillance Video puts her at this circle k gas station in newburg, oregon at 6 20 driving her familys dark green 99 lexus suv. Another video which they havent released shows her getting whats described as a small amount of money from a nearby atm. But nothing since. No credit card activity and no pings to her cell phone. Were following up on leads as far as trying to get subpoenas for cell phone record, bank record, any kind of video that were that could give us a direction. Reporter her mother tells abc news huston was in the midst of potty training one of her two Young Children and was utterly devoted to them. Something is not right. Somebody has to have her because she she wouldnt do this. Reporter police say they have no evidence of a crime so far and are treating this as a missing persons case. Hustons husband meanwhile, says hes struggling to keep the couples two little boys from worrying about their mom. Right now mommy is on vacation.

And you know what, i loved yesterdays dumb criminal stories so much that we found another one. Yeah. This one comes to us from texas. Check out this guy. He did not have a disguise, but hes caught on surveillance camera entering the house through the doggie door. He decides to steal a bike. Yeah, there he goes. Hes got the bike. The problem is, he doesnt know how to ride it. Oh, god bless. So then he just takes off emptyhanded without the bike because, again, he stole a bike and he cant ride it. I thought you were going to give us a goody, that he got caught in the doggie door. Oh, that would be even better. Maybe tomorrow well find that one. Stay on the hunt. Were going to turn now to a new study showing that something bad for momstobe may be good for their babies. All the discomfort that comes with morning sickness could signal a healthy and strong start for newborns. Dr. Jen ashtons, our medical contributor here. You delivered more than a thousand babies. Explain what this study shows. So finally maybe some consolation. This affects as many as 85 of pregnant women, but this me too, amy this was a massive study looking at several smaller studies, and they found that women who experience morning sickness of unclear severity, so anything from a little bit to a lot, had some significant associated findings. They had a lower rate of miscarriage. They had less preterm delivery. They had less babies with birth defects, and, very surprisingly, they had babies with higher iqs later on. Now, we have to remember this was an association. It didnt explain why, so it was not cause and effect and, particularly important, these findings were most significant in women over the age of 35, so a blessing in disguise. Yeah, and if youve ever had morning sickness, it is, as you said, a consolation prize, but still it doesnt it doesnt hide the fact that its tough to get through. Are there o options for dealing with the morning sickness even though you need to Sour Patch Kids helped me. It worked for you, and you got two beautiful girls out of it. What else . We use a full spectrum of things, anywhere from small snacks, saltines, ginger ale to some great complimentary therapies, accupuncture, acupressure, wristbands, some vitamin b6, and then we have to bring out the big guns, some strong prescription medication, and then if thats necessary to use all those tools in our arsenal, we can usually get it under control. And we shouldnt be worried if you dont have morning sickness of absolutely not. Remember, were still learning a lot in obstetrics. Its as much an art as it is a science.

Telling abc news that Kiefer Sutherland is, quote, the most unprofessional dude in the world. It turns out they worked together back in 2010 on the hit show 24 and prinze said it was so bad it almost made him quit acting. Kiefer sutherland not taking the bait and his rep says this is the first time that prinze had a problem and says he enjoyed working with prinze and wishes him nothing but the best thats the classy response. I loved that show too, by the way. I didnt hear that. Im still watching it. Sorry it was a negative experience. I just i dont know that sharing it for the world four or five years later. All right. In the heath this morning, one of the top stories from the atlantic overnight. A new study that suggests First Impressions really do make a big difference. Not quite in the way you think. Researchers from the university of york discovered facial features like the shape of a persons jaw, mouth and eyes can almost instantaneous ly go to what we sum them up with. The mouth shape, approachability. A lot can ride on a single selfie and here are some of the specifics from the study. Eyes are associated with youthful attractiveness and masculine face shape and skin tone are associated with dominance so whether you have it or not is immediately summed up. It does make sense it all happens. I thought the study was just fascinating and we do it in a millisecond. It happens, you dont know youre doing it. Its just in you. Biology. All right. Well, also this morning, speaking of how we look, july 29th shaping up to be red hot because guess what, guy, i know you knew this. Its National Lipstick day.

Up next on our heat index. They say all is fair in love. But the Popular Online dating site okcupid is causing some outrage because its admitted that it has been lying to some of its users. Abcs Mara Schiavocampo is here with that story. Good morning, mara. Reporter amy, good morning. Okcupid has revealed its been conducting secret experiments on its users without telling them including turning matches into mismatches misleading users about who theyre actually compatible with. While okcupid says all of this helps them better understand how online romance works not many users are in love with the idea of being used as human guinea pigs. Finding love is hard. Thats why so many people are heading to Online Dating like theodore in her. So that means shes funny and brainy. Reporter but now one of the nations most popular dating sites is admitting it set up customers with bad matches on purpose. Okcupid posting this controversial blog monday titled we experiment on human beings. Not exactly what you want to hear when youre trying to find your match. I absolutely think that this violated the trust of users. Reporter but okcupid says there was a method to its mismatch madness. The company says it took pairs of daters who rated 30 combatable based on okcupid questionnaires and told them they were actually 90 combatable. Resulting, they say, in some of those couples exchanging more messages. That message turned into a conversation about twice as often when we told them that they were a good match. Reporter then they did the cupid shuffle and told people who were actually good for each other that they had little chance of being combatable. But by what some people may call the power of love they still seemed to find each other. We could take two people who are right for each other and say, no, theyre wrong and end up messages much much as we let them in on the truth. Reporter this isnt the first time they performed an experiment of love, in january of 201 they took away everyones photos. The results fascinating. People responded to first messages 44 more often. Conversations went deeper and Contact Details were exchanged faster. However, when the photos were restored many of those conversations came to a halt. As for this latest experiment, not everyone is thrilled. Its a little like offputting. You need to choose a site that wants to protect you, not betray you. Reporter but okcupid insists its arrow and ethics are not broken. Now, okcupid did tell their users about the experiment after the fact. A lot of people have actually compared this to what facebook did last month when they manipulated users feeds to see if emotions were contagious. We should point out that okcupids user agreement does say your data can be used in research and analysis. If you believe in fate like i do, maybe that mismatch, the experiment, is what leads you to your perfect match. They probably learned a lot through that. It might have led to dates or love. Opposites attract and then they attack. Just saying. Wow wow. I never heard that quote before. So beautiful. I share it with you all. More words of wisdom from lip gloss to office tips, now we continue with some love. In the heat index there is just no question about these two. The bachelorette, andi dorfman handing out her final rose choosing josh over nick. The engaged couple is here live to tell us all about it. First, though, heres a recap of season 10 of the bachelorette. You are the woman of my dreams. Reporter it was the romantic ending to this summers unforgettable season of the bachelorette. Oh, my god. Reporter andi dorfman looking shocked and elated as former pro baseball player josh got down on one knee. Would you marry me . Yes reporter but just before this happy moment a surprising twist, andi sending the other remaining contestant nick home before he even had the chance to propose. Im sorry. God, wow. Thats so [ bleep ] up. Ive been such a fool. Reporter after the finale a heartbroken nick confronting andi live and face to face for the first time as we learned he made several failed attempts to see her after being sent home. There was really nothing wrong between our relationship except Something Else was more right. Its hard to hear that, you know. Still, nothing could spoil that final moment. I am madly in love with you. Reporter josh standing out from the crowd even as the last man out of the limo on the very first night. You look absolutely gorgeous tonight. Thank you. Reporter but there were types when andi was afraid to trust the former pro athlete. I said more time thinking what could go wrong than what could go right. Reporter in the end, though, the choice was clear. Josh would make andi a bachelorette no more. All right. Id like to introduce you to the future mr. And mrs. Josh murray. Come on out, guys.

Last night, it was wonderful to see the love, it was also uncomfortable as a fan of the show to see nick did not seem to take it very well. Yeah, i mean thats always a tough part. I think thats kind of the nature of the beast with the show like i had to break up with 24 guys in order to get the one i really wanted and needed but its always a little uncomfortable when you have to watch the breakups and talk about them for everyone i think. And we teased at the top of the show. That letter. Yeah. That letter. Can we finally talk about the letter . Yeah, i mean theres really not much to talk about. You know, its obviously something i read. But, again, its like im very happy in my relationship. Kind of like reopening the past that doesnt need to be reopened but, you know, weve moved past that which is nice. Does the atlanta factor play in . So nice former athlete. He an athlete. They both live in atlanta. I was like can we just wrap the show up . I feel like it was a disadvantage because coming into the show im like i want to move somewhere. Im getting out of atlanta so i think it was a disadvantage to him in the beginning. Now its obviously an advantage. Yeah.

And, amy, i see thaw got a couple of stars and i told the girls over here, i would say, dane, they want to say hello. Ah, yes. Well, let me introduce them. We have dane dehaan and aubrey plaza. They both star in the new film life after beth about a young couple who finds out just how complicated love can be when one of them comes back from the dead as a zombie. But doesnt necessarily realize it. Take a look. Okay, okay. Oh, my gosh. Oh, my gosh. Lori, look who i found. Its beth. All right. Calm down, zach. What are you doing . Hey, i have that scarf. He ran around me. He made a joke and ran around me. What is going on here . What is going on here . Youre acting like a spaz. Its a little bit hard to explain. How could you do this to me, beth. You made me think hey, hey, she didnt do anything. Everything is normal. This just happened. [ cheers and applause ] and it is such a pleasure to have dane and aubrey here with us. I have to tell you, i am a huge zombie fan. I might be Binge Watching walking dead right now but this is a new twist. A zomcom. Dane, had you ever heard the term before . No, its not actually just a zomcom. Its a zomcomdram. Is that the way they sold it to you . Yeah, dream come true. Dream come what an allstar cast. You get to work with comedic greats. Tell me what it was like. I mean, you werent supposed to crack up, right . You were supposed to do it deadpan and seriously but it was actually really funny. Yeah, it was hard to keep a straight face, especially when i was a zombie. Dying slowly. Trying to eat people and eat their brains, but, you know, everyone was really professional. John and molly are such good actors, so we all kept it together. Dane, i mean, this is definitely a twist for you. Yes. How did it feel to do this romdramcomzom . . Yeah, it was a really different experience for me and thats why i wanted to do it. My first comedic experience, and i got to work with some of the great comedic actors of our time and, yeah, when youre doing a dramatic piece, a lot of times if you like feel like laughing, you just laugh, you know, but in this i felt like laughing the whole time but i wasnt allowed. And, aubrey, i mean, what is it like to play someone whos been resurrected from the dead yet is decaying and loves human flesh . Its amazing. I had a great time and it was really therapeutic for me because i got to kind of drum up all of my childhood trauma and physicalize it for strangers. And really this is a doover for you. As a couple, your characters get to try dating again after you thought she was dead. How did that work out for you . Well, you know, it has its ups and its downs. I think, yeah, the movie is kind of like a metaphor for a breakup. You know, in like the most dramatic of ways. Extreme hilarious sense that could be, and we go through a lot of stuff that i think people can relate to. Yeah. This is just its like when you try to get back together with someone, and you only remember the good stuff and then when youre with them, its a nightmare. Yeah, and you forget theyre actually a zombie . Yeah, and then they try to eat you. I cannot wait. That is the way to sell a movie. Dane and aubrey, thank you both for coming in. We appreciate it. And life after beth is currently available on directv. It will also be coming to theaters august 15th. Coming up, guardians of the galaxy star vin diesel is here live, and there he is in the twitter mirror. Stay with us. Burn bur vin diesel getting in touch with his inner tree if you can believe it for his latest film guardians of the galaxy. He plays a humanoid. No, you dont need to. He plays groot who joins a band of marvel misfitting including a talking raccoon in order to save the world. Galaxy. The galaxy. I mean bigger than the world. Hey. Because thats how you roll. Whoa. Everybody, heres this guy as groot, a man of few words. 12 . 12 . Ha, ha, ha, ha. Thats a fake laugh. Its real. Totally fake. That is the most real authentic hysterical laugh of my entire life because that is not a plant. Its barely a concept. Youre taking their side . I am groot. So what is better then 11 . Thank you, groot. Thank you. [ cheers and applause ] yes. Yes. A tree of few words. Vin diesel is with us and talk to us a little about your character groot. This is not your average superhero. He is not your average superhero. He is the strangest marvel character theyve ever attempted to put on film. Why did you want to do this . Because its i mean well explain. You have one line. I have one line. In some ways it was a huge challenge, ive been acting in these streets of new york since i was 7 and the idea of playing a role that is limited to only three words, three mono syllabic words was a challenge. The real reason i played the role was because when marvel gave me the book of conceptual art, i went home and showed it to my family and my 3yearold son when i asked, who do you think marvel wants daddy to play . My 3yearold son pointed to the tree. He did. Yeah. So you say one thing repeatedly. It means many things in the film. The line is, if you will. The line is i am groot. But the director would sort of tell you what it was supposed to mean given the scene. Can you explain how that worked. Well, i went into the adr booth and there was a 50page document and on the lefthand side it would say i am groot and on the righthand side it would have the sentence or the paragraph of what you would have heard if you could understand the nuances of the speech. But because it was hard in larynx, all of the oblivious could hear, i am groot. So given that we are going to play a little game with you where you are going to show us how this works. So, for example, if groot was trying to say, hey, come here often how would he say that. I am groot. And if he was going to say from famous line from iron giant. Whoo. Iron giant. You are who you choose to be. How would he say that. Groot doesnt recite iron giant lines that often. Its a guy. So is groot really but how about this, youll love this. Who loves you, baby . Oh, i love that. You know what shes doing. All of that know kojak know the tired old line and shes that hip to even talk about kojak. Because this guy you are bringing kojak back. Yeah all right. But before kojak is back Everybody Needs to embrace and love groot. Thats right. Guardians of the galaxy. Thats right. [ cheers and applause ] love it. Guys. Vin diesel. More, more, more. More, more. Emeril is here too. Oohlala did you hear about the whats that . Le ice cream man . He who loves eating monster who loves creamy delicious tillamook ice cream. whispering seriously . door creaks hes fast. Tillamook ice cream, tastes better because its made better. Oohlala time now for you send it, he cooks it. The he, of course, our good friend emeril lagasse. You tweeted us photos of your favorite summer grills up on the screen. Well show them right now and, emeril, you chose a couple of the favorites. Yeah. Right here. These are its amazing how many photos that weve gotten, george. But let me tell you, Sandra Miller from burlington, ontario, canada, these are double cut pork chops. Beautiful. Stuffed with goat cheese, sun dried tomato, lots of herbs. Absolutely delicious. And then we have terry from canneca canonsburg, pennsylvania, terri dowd. The thing that makes these ribs really great. She uses a combination of brown sugar, honey and sriracha. Hot and sweet. Thats good. So now im going to bring a couple of my grilling recipes. Chicken here. Backyard barbecued chicken. Real simple. So im using legs with the thigh attached and what were going to do is just going to brush them with olive oil. Real simple then well season them. The thing about barbecued chicken, especially on the grill, george, is that you dont want the heat too hot. Thats what i was going to ask. Whenever i do it, the skin sticks. If you get the oil and the thing is you have to preheat the grill as you can see, and what you want to do is you dont want to have the temperature so high because especially when you start applying the Barbecue Sauce to them, the sugar is going to burn. And thats what you got to cook it slow. Let them cook halfway then well start basting the Barbecue Sauce on them. We make a simple sauce with garlic and onions were caramelizing in here then well add cider vinegar and a little bit of h2o and basically now ive got brown sugar and tomato paste and then ive got crushed red pepper, paprika, salt, cayenne for a little heat, my essence and dried mustard. You never tell us whats in your essence. Paprika base, white pepper, black pepper, oregano and thyme and all together and we cook them for about maybe 20, 25 minutes. I think its kind of exactly. People should not be afraid to make their own Barbecue Sauce, it keeps well in the refrigerator. Simple to make and shes laughing over there. How are you doing . Im great. After the chicken, after the chicken is about halfway done, thats when you want to start applying the Barbecue Sauce to it. So you in thats a good step. Start brushing them and then they go on the grill. Okay. You turn them much or turn them over, george. Turn them over. Look at george going over here. Look at this. But you see, george, what happens is now that you turn them got to baste it again. Theyre not burring and now we baste them again and you want to get them to the internal temperature of about 160, 165 degrees for the perfect chicken. Tell us quickly about the shrimp salad. Okay, i will. Shrimp salad, summer green, avocado, citrus sections. Ladies, how is it . Is it good. I think ive eaten enough. You have pasta chicken. Not dry, right. Perfect. Juicy and delish.
