Transcripts For KGO Good Morning America 20161012

Championship series. And overnight, the cubs big comeback. Chicago rallying in the bottom of the ninth for a giant win. Now perhaps on their way to making history. Can they break a centuryold curse . Good morning, america. Is the curse about to end . That is the big question this morning after the cubs beat the San Francisco giants advancing to the National League championship series. Uhhuh. It was a very intense nailbiting ninth inning that went down to the wire but the cubs, they are celebrating the big win. Theyve got a long way to go to overcome that socalled curse of the billy goat. We will talk about that more later. First, the race for the white house just 27 days until the election. Donald trump lashing out at his own partys leaders saying, the shackles are off. That tweet part of a daylong tirade. He fired off at least ten attacks. Trumps Campaign Manager, kellyanne, c conway, is here standing by live to talk to george. Well hear from her in a moment. First, lets go to abcs tom llamas at trump tower. Good morning, tom. Reporter robin, good morning to you. Campaign sources say those tweets and clashes with paul ryan are all part of the same strategy. Donald trump wants to make sure voters know that hes not beholden to anyone, even the leaders of his own party. This morning, donald trump in an allout war with fellow republican and house speaker, paul ryan. I wouldnt want to be in a foxhole with a lot of these people, that i can tell you. But mccain is a brave man. Including ryan. He is a brave man. By the way, including ryan, especially ryan. I got that. Reporter the republican nominee furious ryan told House Republicans he would no longer defend him or campaign for him. And trump saying ryan, in part, inspired this tweet. Its so nice that the shackles have been taken off me and i can now fight for america the way i want to. The shackles are some of the establishment people that are weak and ineffective people within the Republican Party, senators and others and paul ryan led to a certain extent by paul ryan. They were holding you back . To be the nominee. Reporter ryans split with trump comes after that access Hollywood Video surfaced. Trump on a bus bragging his celebrity status allows him to grope women. When youre a star they let you do it. You can do anything. Whatever you want. Grab them by the [ bleep ]. You can do anything. Reporter and though trump apologized for his comments, hes suggesting the controversy has been overblown. Well, first of all, locker room talk and most have heard it before, i have had a lot of women come up to me and say, boy, i have heard that and i have heard a lot worse in my life. Reporter trump fully aware that moment could have cost him the election. If thats what its going to take to lose an election that would be pretty sad. Reporter his campaign now releasing this vicious ad attacking Hillary Clintons health. Hillary clinton failed every single time as secretary of state. Now she wants to be president. Hillary clinton doesnt have the fortitude, strength or stamina to lead in our world. Reporter the ad intended to slow clintons growing lead in the polls. Trumps running mate having to calm some supporters who were making threats if clinton wins. If Hillary Clinton gets in, i myself im ready for a revolution because we cant have her in. Yeah, dont say that. But im just saying. Theres a revolution coming on november the 8th. I promise you. Reporter now to give you a sense of the fracture between donald trump and his own party, usa today is out with a story this morning that shows a quarter of all republican governors, senators and house members will not be voting for trump on election day. The paper calling this unprecedented in american political history, george. Okay, tom llamas, thanks very much. Now lets talk to kellyanne conway, Donald Trumps Campaign Manager. Thanks for coming back to gma this morning. You heard tom at the top saying this is the strategy now of mr. Trump to take on his own party. How is that going to help you win . Well, its going to help him just take his message directly to the voters, george. I mean, we have been playing very nicely with members of the party. The rnc us and have a wonderful relationship. I talk to Reince Priebus several times a day and his chief of staff and chief strategist are in our tower most days. And im happy theyve provided so much of the basis for our ground game and field staff, so and i just want to say when we pay, when donald trump raises money like he did, millions and millions of dollars yesterday in fundraisers, a lot of that goes to the party and helps his downballot candidates. As tom said youve gotten a quarter of senator, members of congress, senator, not supporting donald trump. Last night he said he doesnt want the support of house speaker, paul ryan, yet earlier in the day, he said he was losing because he didnt have the support. So which is it . We want the support of anyone who is willing to campaign for us. But enough of the pussyfooting around in terms of do you support us, do you not support us . The fashion is that fact is that some of these leaders have been wishywashy and paul ryan has a job to do and the new president of the United States will go ahead and be with him, you know, to help get legislation through. At the same time does mr. Trump want paul ryan to be the speaker if hes elected . Thats up to the members of the congress. I hope it means we have a majority in the house, the senate and the presidency. Because that exhale would be the best indication that americans voting for donald trump for wout indication that americans voting for donald trump f would be the indication that americans voting for donald trump fa would be tht indication that americans voting for donald trump fc would be th best indication that americans voting for donald trump ftu wou best indication that americans voting for donald trump fa woul best indication that americans voting for donald trump fl woule best indication that americans voting for donald trump fl woul the best indication that americans voting for donald trump fy would be the best indication that americans voting for donald trump for president also want a mandate for him to push through different pieces of legislation. Its not looking like that right now. The latest polls have you down about nine points. Falling behind in the Electoral College as well and we just saw that ad that you are playing now showing Hillary Clinton coughing and her stumble after that 9 11 ceremony. Youve got a huge gap with women right now. How are you going to be able to make that up running ads like that . We need to take the message directly to them on issues they care about like education and obamacare. Her coughing and stumbling . Were calling into question her record as secretary of state and, frankly, that ad were releasing today is called corruption, and takes into account the fact that the clintons came out of the white house and said they were dead broke, and made a quarter of a billion dollars in speaking fees right there youre making fun of her health. No, were calling into her question whether shes got the stamina to lead. I think thats an important issue that came up in the first debate. In the second debate mr. Trump said she always gets right back up. She does, and thank god, and when she fell that day, mr. Trump said nothing about it except he hopes she was feeling well. We all did, and were glad to hear she is running a clean bill of health. Now youre running an ad . George, what does she do every single day . All she does is call him names and all she does is call into his question his character and we want this election to be not just about character but also about issues. Nobody abc did an unbelievable report last night, i hope everyone will see it about friends of bill getting preference by the state department after the earthquake in haiti in 2010. This is not the way that the government should be run. I want to go back to another moment in the debate. The other night. Mr. Trumps threat to jail Hillary Clinton. You dismissed that as a yet hes repeated it on the stump several times and he has called for a special prosecutor, and even trumps allies say that shouldnt be the language we should have. Michael mukasey says, this would be like a banana republic. Putting political opponents in jail for offenses committed. And they very well may be, is something we dont do here. Hes channelling the frustrations of millions of americans and hears from his rallies and otherwise. He feels theres a different set of rules. For Hillary Clinton. Hes threatening to use the power of the presidency to put her in jail. It wouldnt be up to him. It would have to be adjudicated. Through the regular channels just like anyone else. But, george, people feel frustrated theres a different set of rules for Hillary Clinton. He is calling for a special prosecutor. Well have to see if hes elected president if that makes any sense but folks get upset weve got a gentleman an american who took pictures inside a submarine who got jail time away from his child, and other people seen as violating the confidentially of a National Security document, they also face penalty and in this case fbi director jim comey did make clear that she lied about how many servers she had no reasonable prosecutor would bring the case, he said. Others are criticized him for that saying that others have been penalized. Obviously in abcs polling and other places Hillary Clinton has a very difficult time proving to the American People that shes honest and trustworthy and i dont think that her actions with her server and the way they treated email imperiling everybodys National Security helped that veracity challenge that she has. Thats all we have time for. Kellyanne, thanks for coming in. Thank you, kellyanne. Abcs jon karl is going join us now from washington. You heard from kellyanne and were hearing from donald trump. How severe is this divide in the gop, jon, and where do we go from here . That was stunning. Kellyanne conway just went asked directly by george whether or not donald trump thinks that speaker out of the house, paul ryan, should still be the speaker of the house next year wouldnt answer. I mean that is an extraordinary sign that we are truly at war. Donald trump not just against Hillary Clinton, but against some of the most prominent and respected members in his own party. And republicans are now seeing a situation where base voters supporting trump are angry at them, and also the moderate swing voters who are upset tie this to trump. Its a loselose situation for republicans. How does the Clinton Campaign deal with an unshackled trump, his words, unshackled trump . Are there concerns there . Ive been talking to senior people in the Clinton Campaign about this. They say for the next four weeks they are preparing for a scorched earth strategy coming from donald trump. They think that the next four weeks of this campaign will look like the first 30 minutes of that debate with donald trump throwing absolutely everything personal, bringing up attacks and bringing up bill clintons past. Thats a real challenge for them because its harder to get a positive message out fur what Hillary Clinton stands for. 27 days to go. All right, jon, thank you. We move on and get the latest on that deadly plane crash in connecticut. One passenger killed when the flight went up in flames. Now the fbi is investigating. Abcs linzie janis is here. Linzie, fbi involved because of some evidence that this may not have been an accident. Reporter good morning, george. Thats right. When that plane came barreling out of the sky, most assumed it was an accident. But federal investigators are now looking into whether the person flying it may have crashed it on purpose. This morning, the fbi investigating whether this plane crash looks like weve got a fully involved aircraft on fire on main street. Reporter was intentional. The pilot who survived, telling authorities the twin engine crash was not an accident. The plane taking off from an airport in hartford, connecticut, with a student pilot, and instructor reportedly on board. Just before 4 00 p. M. Tuesday, the aircraft striking utility poles. The fact that this wasnt even more catastrophic is nothing short of a miracle. Reporter then cartwheeling down main street narrowly missing a van carrying her mother and children before bursting into flames. Three poles, when it hit the last one it just boom. Reporter a bystander posting this dramatic video tweeting the plane came inches from our office, went right by the window. The chief of police saying he asked the fbi to investigate because the plane went down near a Pratt Whitney factory, describing it as critical infrastructure. The company, a global manufacturer of jet engines for commercial, military and general aviation. That Pilot Instructor was rushed to the hospital and is reportedly being treated for burns. Again, his student pilot did not survive, and that mother in the minivan so shaken she said she couldnt speak. Authorities say it is a miracle no one on the ground was hurt. Michael. Im glad no one on the ground was hurt. Thank you very much for that. Now the southeast is still feeling the effects of Hurricane Matthew this morning. Take a look at this flooding in North Carolina. The water is not going anywhere forcing thousands of people from their homes, and phillip mena is there in North Carolina. Good morning, phillip. Reporter michael, good morning, the flooding in this region is catastrophic and this is the epicenter. This Senior Citizen home evacuated. You can see just how deep the water is now. That red car is submerged. Many People Living here, theyre searching Higher Ground while they still can.

Reporter more than 2,000 residents there rescued. 18 people in North Carolina now dead. Too many people have died. And we dont want any more to die. Reporter the u. S. Death toll from Hurricane Matthew up to at least 36. Hundreds of thousands still without power. Tuesday afternoon, National Guard troops racing to repair a crucial dam in moore county, a growing hole about the size of a fire truck threatening even more destruction and more lives. Theyre risking their life to get this thing done and to me those are superheroes. Reporter this as multiple rivers in the state continue do swell to record levels. This street aligned with businesses is now part of the lumber river in record flood stage for days. Michael. All right, thank you, phillip. Ginger, you have more on the flooding. Right, because he just said it. Record flood stage for days and it will keep going for days so we have more of the images from lumberton, North Carolina, which weve been showing you but thats not the only river we have to showcase here as far as who is being affected. Flood warnings stretch from South Carolina through southeastern virginia, and you can see a couple of those rivers we wanted to highlight. The neuse river is crested at record already, staying up there and staying at major flood stage all the way through sunday. So this is not going to be over for some time. A quick check of hurricane nicole, which is a category 2 hits bermuda tomorrow or affects them. Well come back with more. Robin . We appreciate that. Now to a happy reunion, that 4yearold girl missing for days, shes now back in her familys arms safe after being kidnapped and found more than 800 miles away. Abcs Steve Osunsami has that story for us. Oh, youre beautiful. Reporter cameras were there and rolling the moment authorities reunited 4yearold Rebecca Lewis with her family in florida. Thank you for bringing me home. Reporter she had been missing since saturday until police found her more than 800 miles away at Baptist Memorial Hospital in memphis. A young woman at the hospital saw the girl walking hand in hand with her alleged abductor and recognized her from amber alerts on facebook. My dad looked at me and i showed my phone and said shes wearing the same outfit and immediately they took that ride and we went straight to security. Reporter police surrounded the silver car in the parking lot and rescued the 4yearold uninjured. I want to say thank you to you because without you, i dont know when this would end. Reporter 31yearold west wild hogs who changed his name to that legally is in Police Custody this morning. Police say that the longtime family friend was spotted with the girl in several surveillance videos including this one from a nashville gas station around 2 00 a. M. Monday morning. Tennessee authorities are now under fire for waiting until later that day to issue an amber alert. We did receive a phone call from his agency asking us to issue an amber alert. We asked, is the individual she is with a danger . Does he have any critical history . Again, the agency said no. Reporter authorities did issue a police alert to be on the lookout. There are just so many of these cases where the victims are never found, or their cases are ignored which makes this reunion all the more remarkable. Hogs has a Court Appearance in tennessee this morning. Robin. All right, steve, thank you very much. A happy ending there and a happy ending last night for the cubs. If you are a chicago fan, you really are happy this morning, because it did not look good for chicago cubs fans last night. They were down going into the ninth inning, and then they came alive. Breaking the curse or closer to breaking the curse that has been on them for 108 years and scored four runs in the ninth for an epic comeback to win 65 and eliminate the giants from the playoffs, and they now advance to the championship series and play either the dodgers or nationals and they are one step closer to breaking that curse that everybody is talking about. The curse of the billy goat. Im tired im sure they are tired of hearing about it. One cubs player said after the game we never quit and we arent stopping now. Clutch last night.

Abcs linsey davis is here and linsey, the womans mother is now blaming carrey. Thats right, robin. In a wrongful death lawsuit, the mother of carreys exgirlfriend accuses him of yet another role only acting as if he were a mourning boyfriend, a grieving good guy when she says he was really the one who caused her daughter to go into a tailspin and then supplied her with the ill league drugs she took to kill herself. Reporter brigid compesweetm mother of Cathriona White has filed a of Cathriona White has filed a lawsuit against him blaming him for her 2015 suicide. Sweetman alleges carrey gave white three sexually transmitted diseases without warning her, lied to her about it and then dumped her out of concern for his own image. In a statement sweetman says, as a family, we want the world to know the truth about who jim carrey really is. Carreys attorney, martin singer, responded, it is understandable that a mother who has lost a daughter will look for someone to blame but in directing her grief and rage at jim carrey and joining this ridiculous lawyers attempt to capitalize on cathrionas suicide mrs. Sweetman is heading down the same dark path as kathd cathrionas greencard husband, mark burton. Her estrange husband also filed a lawsuit against the actor accusing carrey of giving white sexually transmitted diseases while concealing his diagnosis and carrey responded saying i will not tolerate this heartless attempt to exploit me or the woman i loved. Both burton and sweetmans lawsuits claim carrey obtained prescriptions under the false name of arthur king and provided them to white leading to her september 2015 suicide. Whites body was found in her Los Angeles Home surrounded by four prescription medications, none of them in her name.

Reporter khloe telling Ellen Degeneres tuesday that the world famous reality tv star is having to rethink herov oversharing o social media. I think its just a wakeup call to make a lot of life adjustments. You cannot share as much. In that aspect and just make sure were protected as well as possible. Kylie is snapchatting and not concerned about our location being known. Reporter the kardashian clans e show indefinitely on hold after the october 2nd robbery. Nothing will really prepare you for this. Reporter Officials Say Kim Kardashian was robbed by five armed gunmen in paris. Fleeing with more than 10 million worth of jewelry. Kardashian hasnt spoken since the robbery. But tuesday she filed a federal lawsuit against the website mediatakeout. Com for three posts which she alleges claimed without any factual support whatsoever that kardashian faked the robbery. The lawsuit adding that the post caused kardashian shame, mortification, hurt feelings, embarrassment and humiliation. But now radar online posting a video they say was shot immediately after the crime that exposes holes in her story. Showing kim calmly video chatting on the couch. No visible forced entry to the door or marks on kardashians wrists from being tied up. The robbery has a great deal of mystery. I mean its, you know, made for tv, a spectacle. Reporter now, French Police wont claim the authenticity of the radar online video and kardashian herself did not respond to our requests for comment. We also reached out to media takeout for a response to that lawsuit, but did not get one back. George, robin. Thanks very much. Michael, to the big board in a sec. Coming up, are more trump tapes on the way . The women heading to studio headquarters demanding their release. Plus, which teens are really most at risk behind the wheel, george . I guess well find out. I guess well find out. Ss well find out. Come on, dad. they tell me im wrong to want to stand alongside my, my love whoa, talkin bout my love talkin bout my, my love you ready, dad . Whoaooh oohoohoohoohooh, oohooh no ones surprised tender pieces and crunchy bites whoaooh ended up together. Thats just what happens when cats call the shots. New friskies tender and crunchy combo. Tasty textures cats gotta have. Friskies. For cats. By cats. And they lied about it thatfor decades. Ls. Now theyre lying about prop 56. If you dont use tobacco, you dont pay. Smokers pay their fair share of the 3 billion in Health Care Costs all taxpayers are paying now. And theres one more thing our kids. Every state thats significantly raised tobacco taxes has reduced youth smoking. Please. Vote yes on 56. If we can save even a few lives, its worth it. Time now for the big board. Our team of insiders to weigh in on todays top stories and begin with sunny hostin at the table and, sunny, this pressure is building on mgm and mark burnett. The own the apprentice tapes and the behindthescenes footage, and now theyre being picked by gloria allred, the activity attorney and says there is a compelling Public Interest in having the tapes released that she says that should trump any confidentiality clauses. Is that a strong legal argument . I love glorias passion but the bottom line is that Public Interest doesnt necessarily trump a legal contract. A contractual obligation and i got to tell you, shes trying really hard to get those tapes released. She said that she wants a threejudge panel to review whether or not these claimed legal restrictions are really there and are really enforceable. That is really, really great, but its a little more like legal theater to me. We heard there could be a fine or something if these are leaked but there is a go fund me page that said well pay the legal fees for anybody who likes these tapes. Is that even feasible . Its feasible because there is that rumor. Its been reported there is a 5 million penalty if someone release that is tape, but if you then interfere with trumps contract and you fund that go fund me, i think he could unleash his 400 plus attorneys on the people that fund you know, hes got this scorch the earth type of litigation strategy so you could actually be putting yourself at play here if you do that. Presumably if this comes out itll be someone doing it anonymously. I would hope so because i think there are real legal problems for people who get involved with this. I didnt know you could be sued on the other side. Samsung moves to halt production of the galaxy note 7. The tech giant shares plugging the tech giant shares plunging, and another smart phone allegedly caught on camera, exploding. Becky worley joins us now. Becky, this one simple question, how do they come back after this. When even the replacement phones catch on fire, then you completely cease production, the only direction to go is to get the 2. 5 million recalled phones back without another incident. News today samsung sending out return kits that include a static minimizing bag, thermal shielding box and rubber gloves like theyre dealing with a hazmat scene. In a statement to abc samsung saying, a device containing a lithium ion battery with a recall have to use these. These are required. And also about the companys balance sheet, the companys stock fell 8 . 20 billion, poof, gone. Longterm, though, samsung is a Diverse Company and makes appliance, tech components, other smartphones. Hopefully that insulates them in the short term, guys. But they have to win Consumer Trust back. At the same time theyre in front of the Supreme Court this week possibly facing damages from apple which could also be a blow. Yeah, but i will tell you that Patent Litigation is like a mosquito bite compared to the note debacle. I can imagine their internal pr team, yes, i got the patent wars case. Bottom line, no real serious implications for samsung with this one. Right now its about brand damage. Im telling you no product has ever experienced a pr beatdown of this magnitude and the other android phonemakers are licking their chops. I guess they are. Consumer trust. Thats right. We move on to concern over the future of the olympics. Rome is announcing that its abandoning its bid for the 2014 summer games. Thats just the latest lets talk to lz granderson about all this. Boy, used to have cities clamoring to get the olympics and now theyre walking away. Well, its expensive. Its very expensive and its really responsible for italy to withdraw its bid considering the financial situation that its in. Remember, its still limping from the global recession so it would have been irresponsible to spend tens of billions of dollars to host a twoweek party. Lz, when rio won this summers past olympics, everybody went crazy and l. A. Is one of the final cities up for it now. You live in l. A. Do you want the olympics . Are they going to go crazy . Do they want the olympics there . Put it this way, its like hosting a new years eve party. Everyone wants to party. Nobody wants the cleanup. No, i dont want the olympics here. I dont want uber rates to quadruple. Of course, not. When you consider the financial benefits of hosting the olympics you want the money infused into the city, and i spoke to the mayor. The infrastructure is mainly in place, overhead would be relatively low in comparison to other cities and good thing financially, i just dont want to be tuck in traffic any longer. Traffic is pretty bad in l. A. One of the worst cities and, becky, what do you think . 2028, San Francisco out there, your city, throw the name in there. Weve held the super bowl, americas cup, weve got the Rugby World Cup coming here. Super bowl can do it. We can do the olympics too. Can we get some Public Transportation to go with that . Id love to have the olympics come back here. You would . Yeah. Oh, i would hate it. New york is already so crowded. Can you imagine having a bunch of people here for the olympics . I dont want it. Im from the bronx. I dont want it. No, no. George, you can be on the committee. Sunny, youre off. Thank you, lz, thank you. Becky, thank you and sunny, thank you, of course, thank you for coming in.

Orbit. Superhero. Yes, were talking tim tebow coming to the rescue. The former Heisman Trophy winner playing baseball these days but what he did after the game getting a lot of praise. T. J. Is here with that story. Hey, t. J. Robin, ive never told anybody this but when tim tebow was our colleague at gma he pulled me to the side, and he said, t. J. , look, im going to tell you a secret. Im superman. And at this point, i believe it. All right. Tim tebow has leapt into action. Has come to the rescue. Yes, hes playing Minor League Baseball now, but a lot of people think hes trying to makes it to the majors. He might just be trying to make it into heaven after some people say he pulled off, yes, a miracle. Reporter the game was over, and then tim tebow made his best play of the day. The Heisman Trophy winner turned Minor League Player was signing autographs after a game when a man in the crowd collapsed. Appearing to suffer a seizure. He was laying on his back and he was convulsing and foaming at the mouth and it was such a scary sight to behold. The crowd immediately backed up and was in sheer panic. Reporter tebow rushed to his side, placed a hand on the man and said a prayer. Soon after the seizure appeared to cease and tebow stayed with the man for 15 minutes until the paramedics arrived. This isnt the first time tebow who made headlines when he joined the mets farm system last month has helped his fellow man. In june when a passenger on a plane had a heart attack, tebow comforted those around him with prayer. And this morning, Brandon Berry number 15 was by liz side. Would just say thank you very much for being there for me and thank you for praying with me. Reporter tebow says its all in a days work. In those moments of need theres nothing else matters. That matters. That young man is what matters. And this is why people love tim tebow. He transcends sports. The guy is a Heisman Trophy winner, a national champion, played nfl for a little while and trying to play baseball. He is just a good guy and have this experience with him. You cant help but root for the guy. Yeah. Hes a polarizing figure to a lot of people. In a lot of ways. He puts his religion out there, and the tebowing, and the knee, but you cant argue he is a good dude. He is authentic to himself. The gentleman he helped is a georgia fan. Yeah. And so, you know, tebow was at florida. They were big rivals. And he told me as hes helping him which is probably not the best time. Couldnt switch now. He has also written a book.

And the flooding crisis in North Carolina is getting worse. Thousands have been told to evacuate to Higher Ground as the floodwaters in the aftermath of Hurricane Matthew move downstream. 19 people have died. 2,000 people have been rescued in the town of lumberton, and there are fears that more dams could give way. And a gas explosion and massive fire destroyed two homes near chicago as a gas leak was being repaired. Two workers were injured. Residents had to be evacuated. This came just hours after new federal regulations were announced requiring more gas lines to be equipped with automatic valves. And new details in the Sexual Assault case that rocked a prestigious prep school in new hampshire. Lawyers for former student owen labrie are requesting a new trial. In Court Documents obtained by newsweek they argue that labries conviction under a state computer crime law should be thrown out because he contacted his then 15yearold accuser on a school email system that was limited to campus servers. They say those servers may not be covered under state law. There is new concern about the safety of teen drivers. A new study finds that the number of teens involved in deadly crashes, it is rising for the first time in nearly a decade. Speed is the top cause. The study also warns teen girls are at most most at risk rather for being distracted behind the wheel. Finally, if there was an award for grandson of the year, one guy in nebraska would win it. He was worried about his grandmother in florida because her phone wasnt working after Hurricane Matthew, so what did he do . He called papa johns near her house and ordered a pizza. He asked the delivery man to bring his phone with him so that he could talk to her. Now, he knocks on the door. Shes reluctant to answer the door. She said she didnt order anything but he replied your grandson did. She couldnt stop smiling but she said, youre only going to come in if you have the garlic butter sauce with you for the pizza. No, but she invited him in. She said it was the best Pepperoni Pizza shes ever had and started showing family albums. It was the best tip ever because he had his phone and the grandson talked to the grandmother like that. It was amazing. Very sweet. Thanks for sharing that. Thanks for sharing that, paula. News that goes pop. Yes, indeed, good morning to you all and to you and Janet Jackson is sharing what its like to be an expecting mom at 50 years young in a People Magazine.

Sir rod stewart, i should say, the bawdy and naughty english rock star has just been knighted by Prince William joining the ranks of sean connery, Michael Caine and Paul Mccartney all knights themselves. The grammy winning singer accompanied by his wife penny lancaster. This is, like, my play list. And their two sons, aiden and alastair took a bow before the prince as he was officially knighted with the sword and stewart brought his signature style to the ceremony and swapped the traditional tailcoat and top hat for plaid pants and a red cuff jacket. I just want you to enjoy this for a moment. An oldie but goody. The performer recognized for his 50year music exstensive charity work. Hes very, very generous with his time and his money.

On social media fans expressing their sadness. One saying when we change our lives like that, the clowns have won. The clowns have won. The clowns have won. Burger king still has not been benched. Ronald mcdonald is benched for the moment, and that is pop news. I probably should have done pop news in a different order, im guessing. Maybe finished with the music instead of the clown crisis.

There is Aimee Copeland looking so beautiful and what an inspiring story. Shes going to talk to robin in just a little bit live in the studio. Were going to move on to a new study that reveals some interesting insights that could have every parent in america looking at their phones in a new way. Its about how your engagement with your phone affects your relationship with your kids. Dr. Janet taylor and ericka souter. Lets lay out what the study found. It looked and talked to 35 parents and care givers and found even though the promise and potential of mobile technology is to make our lives easier, in fact, they felt more stressed and they felt more pressure to be connected at home while trying to connect at work and am i good a employee or am i i a good parent . They felt more distracted at times from their children and a . They felt more distracted at times from their children and at times felt stressed. It wasnt all bad news. The fact they felt stress meant its an opportunity for all parents to understand why they feel stress and more importantly what they can do about it. To look at the problems right there but it also revealed, and this was kind of surprising, some upsides. Right, the upsides were that those phones provide an escape from boredom. It also makes you feel connected to the real world which is really important when youve been taking care of kids all day. There was another benefit that moms told me about and its the fact that theyre focusing on Something Else that can help their kids develop muchneeded patience. Right. You say ill be with you in just a minute. Im just finishing this right now. But you talked about the stress, janet, and the study also gets into the whole idea of trickle down stress. Explain that. Well, were humans, and as parents, we do the best we can but there are times when you may read something on your phone, which may upset you or make you depressed and its important that you stop and create that space ive had to catch myself with that. Right . You stop and you catch that moment and understand its really important that we have facetoface time and that facetoface time is hard to get and its positive and parents in the study reported they did snap so its an opportunity to either create some rules about how you compose yourself and certainly as a family, set your time in terms of how youre going to not interact with technology. Makes it hard to not bring those work problems home. Its reality but to be aware of it and also to engage in a positive way because our children are always watching. So what tips do you have for parents on how to make this constructive relationship with your phone and your kids . Its hard to cut the cord but now there are apps that will let you use your phone in a more healthy way, and these apps help you monitor how much time youre spending on your phone but what youre spending time on and theyre called screentime moment and quality and theyre really fabulous tools that every parent should have on their phone. Okay. Thank you, ericka souter, janet taylor, thank you both.

A little salad for you in the morning but im going to cook you the perfect steak in a few minutes. Its the combination. Were going to good morning. Im mike nico from abc mornings. Holding pattern today for the most part tomorrow wet and breezy friday and a weaker storm saturday evening through sunday. Todays temperatures low to mid 70s inland. Low 60s at the coast. Tonight back in the low to mid 50s with a drizzle just like this morning. My sevenday forecast, the strongest storm friday. Its a two on the impact scale which is moderate. I have been looking forward to this. Aimee copeland is the definition of resilience and for me and countless others she is certainly a source of inspiration. Aimee captured the nations attention after she was left a quadruple amputee. Since then she has continued to defy the odds refusing to let anything hold her back. Were going to speak to her in a moment but first heres a look at aimees story. Reporter four years ago, Aimee Copelands life forever changed after a ziplining adventure turned tragic. I remember hearing the sound of the wire snapping. Reporter the dent left her with a deep wound that became infected by an aggressive flesheating bacteria. In order to save her life, doctors amputated aimees right leg, left foot and both hands. This morning we are seeing the first photograph of Aimee Copeland. The nation watched as aimee battled back. Miraculously just four months after the accident, aimee made her public debut on katie and showed incredible strides in her recovery. Today, thanks to her spirit, determination oh, yeah, oh, yeah. Reporter and new hightech prosthesis made by randy alley, see how that feels. Reporter aimee is regaining her independence, embracing her new normal and spreading her message of optimism despite any obstacle. Goal. No matter what challenges in life you face, if you want something bad enough, you will find a way. [ applause ] aimee certainly has done that. Aimee copeland and randy alley join us now, the first time in our studios for both of them. Please give them a warm welcome to be joining us. Yes, yes, yes. Great to have you. You both here. Aimee, my goodness, youre making history. Thank you. The first quadruple amputee and to have this type of prosthesis. Ive tried different ones over the years and last summer when randy and his team fit me in just three days, the first time i tried them on it was like totally different than anything id ever experienced. They just felt like a part of me, an extension of my natural arm. Just like the real thing. So it was amazing. I bet it was. Randy, tell us what is so innovative about this. Traditional sockets dont control the bone so everything feels like its slopping around and its heavy and unstable. What we do is a patented way of compressing and releasing around the tissue so that the bone inside is fixated or stabilized so that it feels like a part of you and becomes a part of you instead of something attached to you. Thats whats so important. Because you want it to be a part you and not just that its an extension. Absolutely. Both of you, both of you are changing lives and i know that your intent is to help others but those that you help, randy, inspire you and help you in the end and your company. Right . Can never have a bad day. Its just an awesome thing to do and be a part of. Theyre the stars of the show but we like to have a piece of that. Oh, well, you are being very, very, very humble, and you, aimee, the way we saw at the end of the piece, speaking, you have two masters degrees now. One wasnt enough. You have two. You have two very special internships. What is it that you speak to people about . What is your message to them . I think compassion was a huge part of my healing. Working with organizations like friends of disabled adults and children, seeing little kids who are in wheelchairs when youre helping others youre not focused on yourself. Youre not focused on what youre lacking. It makes you grateful and it makes you pass on that gratitude to others so my i strongly recommend that anyones who is facing struggles, go out and help other people and you would be surprised at how much it actually helps you. You make it look easy and i know it hasnt i know it hasnt been for you so tell us what has been the most difficult part and what got you through those difficult times . You know, we all have those dark nights of the soul. Those difficult times when im trying to do something and everything is going wrong. I think having friends and family around actually my best friend, corbin, of ten years is in the studio audience today, and has been a tremendous lifesaver throughout this entire experience, my pfamily. My study, the whole community really just banded together and i think the support system is one of the most important things. All you need is love. Thats true. And have you that in abundance and, randy, youve worked with other, Bethany Hamilton who we know very well what happened with her with the shark encounter. Yeah. How do these people cross your paths . Well, its a small field. And ive been doing it for a long time. But you get a reputation for focusing on certain things and the interface, the socket part is what we focus on and by design, and we hope were marching things forward a little bit. Speaking of marching forward, you are paying it forward. Tell us about this nonprofit Nature Center that youre trying to bring about. Yeah, so, you know i love the outdoor, and i love being outside, and as soon as i became disabled, and i said, wheres the Nature Center for people like me . And was disappointed to find there were none in my area so my goal after i become a licensed clinical social worker is to combine my counseling with full mind, body, spiritual growth and to focus on the outdoors, Community Gardening and helping people to just fully immerse themselves in nature. And i understand that you fully enjoy bagels. Didnt you mention that . Yes. So your mom, your beautiful mom, you said you wanted bagels to go back with you. New york bagels. Thank you. Thats awesome. Yeah, so you can bring these back to the atl with you. Maybe youll share them with randy, as well. Well see. We got Wolfgang Puck upstairs so. Bless you and thank you both. Thank you very, very much. We appreciate that. Thank you. Thank you so much. Hope you come upstairs. We have another full hour, oh, no, half hour left to go. Coming up, i know. Coming up we have Minnie Driver here live and Wolfgang Puck is going to be cooking too. What a day. A wonderful wednesday. Good morning, north bay. Lets get up and get going. This is abc 7 mornings. Good morning. Lets get to alexis smith. You had a busy morning early on. Hows traffic . It was a mess out there. We do have the eastbound 580 on ramp back open in the tri valley. Heavy volumes through the bay bridge toll plaza. We are improving in the south bay. Southbound 880. We had a serious threecar collision near brokaw before 101. It did clear in the last 15 minutes.

This wonderful wednesday morning. Wow. How many people sat in traffic on the way to get here . Nobody . It was 4 00 in the morning. How many are going to sit in traffic going home . All of you, right . But, george, you have a littleing. It could help. This is counterintuitive. We all have problems with traffic. Trying to get to work. Live in d. C. , 75 hours a year stuck in traffic. 74 if you live in houston but it turns out there is a way to avoid it and it its basically letting people cut in line. All you have to do is be polite. Thats right. You need that gap between cars to let meme come in. What are you laughing im listening. Its true. Im not laughing. Im just listening . When you exit, you know how somebody tries to get in front of you and you get all defensive. Let them in. Theyre blocking the next lane. Why do you smile . I know why. It feels like youre rewarding bad behavior. Lime glad you said it. I do have it makes sense. Pet peeve of mine is when i do allow the proper distance and then somebody cuts in im like, ooh. Im leaving that proper distance but i should know now its a good thing. It happened yesterday. I had my blinker on doing everything right and the woman like made it so that i couldnt i was like, why. I rewarded her with a thank you. Are you serious . Yes. Read between the lines. Oh, dont buy that. That was not what she did. I absolutely did. I absolutely did. You were probably saying thank you but there were a few fingers missing. Just saying. Chances are. So do you let people in and are you i know its the right thing to do but i cant say i always do it.
