Out there this s 1,000 jobs joined them later tonight. More direct intervention and well examine that coming up, but the aftermath homes and businesses destroyed, at least five people dead. Alabama seeing some of the worst destruction, and abcs phillip mena starts us off in flat rock. Good morning, phillip. Reporter good morning. The only way that you can tell that this was a Daycare Center is by the few toys that remain. This is where a family of seven rushed over from their mobile home looking for a safe place to ride out the storm but sadly they ran right into harms way. Just one day after at least 16 tornadoes devastated much of the south, families in alabama beginning to pick up the pieces. This door frame the only thing remaining for one family. We were all holding on to each other. Crouched down on the floor just dear god, please let me live through this. Reporter all thats left of this day care, a small room. We have been fortunate compared to the last few times its came through. Reporter in rosalie, many parts of town leveled. Debris up in the trees. The shelves Still Standing at this destroyed convenience store. In mississippi, families assessing the damage. As they cut and clean outside their homes. Look how this pecan tree sliced right through this house. We had to get the ladder over there and get her out the window because she couldnt get out of any doors. Tornado warning. Reporter and in the florida panhandle, a powerful waterspout forming off the coast, wednesday afternoon. Near atlanta, a Tornado Warning with strong winds blowing this huge piece of metal from a recycling center about a quarter of a mile away. Reporter students hunkered down in the School Hallway waiting out the storm. Strong winds knocking down trees, severing power lines. And many in this area are still without power this morning. The good news is the storms that caused all of this damage have moved out. Robin. All right, phillip, thank you. Thinking of everybody there. Well go to gio benitez in gatlinburg, tennessee, for the latest on those devastating and Deadly Wildfires that have forced thousands of evacuations. Good morning, gio. Reporter robin, good morning to you. People here have just lost everything. And in many cases, they dont even have insurance. Behind me, is a very famous restaurant here in the smokey mountains called the alamo. And i want you to look at our wide camera there, so you can just see how much destruction there is here. The fire still smoldering behind me. I want to show you a video from a firefighter driving through this fire. You can he have the intense winds helping spread the blaze more and more. At least seven people have died. Others are still missing. And now i want to show you the aftermath. This is what you see all over this place. Homes are quite literally just disappearing. Some 700 structures damaged or destroyed. So the good news right now is heavy, heavy rains yesterday put out a lot of these flames, so much of this threat is now over and people here have to start rebuilding, robin. Thats good to hear. We will talk to rob about that. So many people are doing whatever they can to help including someone whos known quite well in that area. Dolly parton. Tell people what shes doing. Reporter thats right, robin. Dol dollywood is just miles from here. People go there all the time and this area, this is where she grew up. Shes going to be donating 1,000 per month to each family affected by this fire. It truly is remarkable. Indeed. Such good people there. Gio, thank you. We said that Severe Weather as you said is moving out this morning, and rob, youre tracking that path. I want to say that so much in weather is about good and bad. They so desperately needed rain and were going to get that. In advance of that thats when the wins kicked up and devastating fires broke out. Those rains so helpful in the past three days. Over 4 inches in huntsville, 5 inches in knoxville, and very close to that fire zone. And yes, we have another Storm Brewing across the pacific and dive down into the plain, heavy rain expected in eastern texas getting up into louisiana and arkansas and then stretching back into the drought zone, northern mississippi, northern alabama, by sunday night youll see heavy rain again. Look at some of these numbers locally possibly over 4 inches of rainfall across louisiana and south of the fire zone and well take every inch we can get. That is coming. Thanks very much. The latest on the trump transition. The president elect and mike pence heading out of trump tower on what they call a thank you tour starting at that carrier plant in indianapolis which reversed course, decided to keep more than a thousand jobs in the u. S. After jawboning from trump. Abcs tom llamas at trump tower with all the details. Good morning, tom. Reporter george, good morning to you. That cincinnati rally will be the first public event for the president elect since winning the election. And we all know how much mr. Trump loves those big crowds. We just checked. Theres still tickets available, but theres a report out this morning that team trump has purchased radio ads promoting the event to make sure every seat is filled, but before that event, trump has some business to take care of. Today, president elect donald trump will announce a deal, one he promised on the campaign trail, to show hes already fighting for the american worker. Its not president ial for the president of the United States to call up the head of carrier, hello, this is the president. But i dont care. Its so much fun for me. I love doing it. Please dont take that away. Reporter in a statement, carerer saying they negotiated an agreement with the incoming administration, part of which will result in preserving more than 1,000 jobs. Details of the agreement unclear. But a source telling abc news a regulatory incentive was a factor. Carrier worker kip glen, a trump supporter, praising the president elect. The spirits were high last night. People were actually hand shaking, hugging. Hes not even been sworn in yet, and is already showing us that he is a worker. Reporter but some of trumps critics want more details before they celebrate the incoming president. Yeah, jobs are good. The question is what exactly is the deal . I mean the first thing you learn when youre talking about deals is lets read all the details. Lets read the fine print. Reporter trump also working on filling his cabinet. Now a familiar face is under consideration for secretary of veterans affairs. Thank you so much. Reporter a palin aide telling abc news, palin told trump transition officials in recent days, i feel as though the megaphone i have been provided can be used in a productive and positive way to help those desperately in need. And as trump hosts that event at carrier to show hes fighting for the working class, the Washington Post points out this morning that trump is assembling what could be the wealthiest cabinet in the history of this country. Trump campaigned against wall street, and he also said he was going to drain the swamp, yet he is filling his cabinet with billionaires, millionaires and some washington insiders, george. We will take a look at that. Tom, well take a look at it now with matthew dowd and carrier, big political win for donald trump and his team is signaling steve mnuchin, his incoming treasury secretary nominee has said that were going to see more of this. More direct intervention with companies. Now this is an opportunity, but also limits. These things for donald trump, one, its real. Those thousands of families or thousand vins right before christmas, now know they have jobs and wellpaying jobs that will stay in indiana so im sure their children and families are very happy, but, two, symbolism. Hes just president elect but president s rely a lot on symbolism and the symbolism of this, i didnt forget you in the midwest. I didnt forget you. Other people have forgotten you. Im willing to go through whatever it takes. But theres a broad question about what is his kmim policy . You cant just do these oftenoffs without defining your economic policy, and in the end, donald trump will be defined by 4. 9 , which is the Unemployment Rate that he is going into office with. Meanwhile, as tom mentioned, two billionaires being nominated. Steve mnuchin several hundred million and theyll push hard for tax returns from all these nominees as they come up for confirmation. You know, before the election was over before Election Night i described the trump group as a pirate ship. Well, some of these nominees it looks like its a pirate yacht that weve seen unfold in this. I think the confirmation hearings will be some of the most spectacular theater that we have seen just from all the questions from the attorney general, from the treasury, from all of those questions that are in such contrast to many things donald trump said during the campaign. Sarah palin. Sarah palin, i guess is the elizabeth swan, the Keira Knightley character in pirates of the caribbean. She will come in. Interesting how folks discipline in this but i think the interesting thing on january 20th he turns the black pearl over to the Queen Elizabeth ii and its much more difficult to manage the Queen Elizabeth ii. Okay, matthew dowd, thank you very much. Do you stay up at night trying to come up with these. It just comes to me. It just comes to me. All right. Thank you, matt. But now to charlotte, north carolina, where protests erupted overnight after prosecutors said they would not charge the s said officer who fatally shot Keith Lamont Scott in september. Abcs eva pilgrim has the latest. Reporter overnight people taking to the streets. Four arrested protesting over a fatal police shooting. This morning no charges for the Police Officer who fired the fatal shots killing a charlotte man. I am fully satisfied and entirely convinced that officer vinsons use of deadly force was lawful. Reporter the investigation into Keith Lamont Scotts death, while evidence points to the 42yearold being armed. Something scotts family had disputed. His wife saying as much on the tape from the shooting. Drop the gun. He doesnt have a gun. Reporter the d. A. Also presenting Evidence Police did see a gun prior to approaching scott radioing in before the shooting. There was a guy that was parked next to us that was rolling a joint had a gun. Reporter as well as releasing this Surveillance Video from a nearby 711 earlier that day, showing scott with a bulge around his right ankle. In previously released police video, you can see his pant leg pulled up. Empty holster revealed. The d. A. Concluding he failed to comply with commands to drop his gun. Justifying the shooting. Scotts family disagreeing asking why a father waiting to pick up his kid ended up dead. But that does not mean that this officers killing of keith scott was right. All that means is that under the view of the d. A. s office it wasnt criminal. Reporter the d. A. Saying the police found a gun at the scene that they have since identified as scotts. His family saying in none of that video do you clearly see him holding a gun and they are profoundly disappointed with the d. A. s decisions not to press charges. They are considering pursuing a civil case. Robin. Well see what happens, eva, thank you. To the new clues about that deadly plane crash that killed 71 people. David kerley has more on what the survivors are now revealing about the accident. Reporter this morning, colombian authorities confirm this jet did not have enough reserve fuel and radio calls suggest it ran out of fuel. As this new video shows the excited Brazilian Soccer Team heading to the finals before the crash. Their short haul jet had flown nearly 1,900 miles right at its maximum range, but it was put into a Holding Pattern above d medellin. The pilots radio the tower asking for priority landing. We are having a fuel problem. Seven minutes later the pilot calls out, total failure. Electric, total and fuel. They now have nothing but battery power, and they are gliding. They have no electronic aids that can take them to the airport. Reporter so the pilots, desperately calling out for directions. Vectors. A minute later the final plea for help. Eight miles from the airport the jet crashes, no fire, no fuel found. The airplane ran out of gas. Why it ran out of gas, why the crew made the bad decisions that they made, could they have saved it if they declared an emergency early on . Reporter three of the players survived. Two crew members too. One did so by curling up in the fetal position. And reportedly telling a south American Sports Network Others in the plane stood up and started yelling after the jet ran out of fuel. The black boxes have now been turned over to investigators from the united kingdom. Thats going to tell us a lot about what the pilots were saying inside the cockpit an answer a lot of the questions about this tragic plane crash. David, just to hear that audio like that, david, thank you. Amy has the mornings other top stories starting with another Police Officer killed in the line of duty. Thats right. An officer was shot and killed responding to a domestic call in tacoma, washington. The neighborhood was placed on lockdown as a standoff with the shooter continued into the early morning, and then a somber scene as the officers body was taken away. 133 Law Enforcement officers in the United States have died in the line of duty this year alone. That is more than during all of last year. Well, the fourth and final inmate who escaped from a california jail has been captured. Rogelio chavez was arrested at his sisters home in san jose after an eighthour standoff. Police say he had been hiding in the attic. Health concerns this morning for former astronaut buzz ald n aldrin. He has been evacuated falling ill. He posted pictures of his rival in ant arc ka. He is reported to be in stable condition. Aldrin is 86. And finally, while the shape of to your chicken mcnuggets are not as random as you thought, and im sure you put thought into it. Mcdonalds has revealed its nuggets come in four distinct shapes which has apparently shocked even the most loyal mcdonalds fans. Each shape even has a name, the bell, the ball, the boot and the bone. And mcdonalds says this these shapes are the perfect equilibrium of dipability and fun. Dipability. Trying to get that in. Dipability. Yeah. They made it one. I like the boot because you got a Little Something to hang onto. Right . We both said dipability and both thinking of boot. Same page, robin. Thank you, amy. Take a look at this video, and yes, thats a man reaching into a truck and walking away with a massive pot of gold,and he is not a leprechaun, okay . And that is just blocks away from times square, and linsey davis has the story. Reporter a reward leading for information of the recovery of this stolen pot of gold. You heard it right. A pot of gold worth more than 1. 5 million. Police are calling the investigation operation lucky charms. It was not a sophisticated heist like the italian job. 13 across. 4 high. 4 deep. Reporter rather police think the robber just stumbled onto an opening and pounced. Do you think he knew it was a bucket of gold at the time . I believe he believed it was a value. It was in an armored truck with armed guards. Reporter it happened in new york citys diamond district. The barrel was taken right out of the back of an Armored Vehicle at the precise moment when one of the armed guards turned his back. The guard reportedly only noticed the buck was missing because thats the bucket he used to rest his feet while he sat. Loomis, the Armored Truck Company told abc news their guards were targeted by professional thieves. The container of gold flakes nearly 90 pounds. So heavy, the thief had to keep putting it down. Which might explain why it took him an hour to walk half a mile. He then got into a white car. So its gold flakes. What would somebody do with that . They could be melted down and put into cubes and then sold. Reporter this newly released video is from late september. So the culprit has a twomonth head start. Police say so far, they believe the end of the rainbow for the man they are dubbing the leprechaun may be florida. Pawnshops there are on high alert. For Good Morning America, linsey davis, new york. Seems like that was too easy. What a story. Now what to do with those. Back to rob. A lot of rain coming. Which brings rainbows which brings pots of gold, im told. I havent seen one in a while.

But first, our exclusive interview with that husband of that kidnapped california mom. Abcs matt gutman sat down with keith papini in redding, california. Good morning, matt. Reporter george, good morning. I spent four hours with keith papini yesterday, and the excruciating details he describes of his wifes ordeal isnt just revealing. Its disturbing in a way we havent heard so far. This morning, keith papini, opening up about his wifes 22day captivity. I thought about her being there screaming my name. Reporter and describing to 20 20 his wife sherris helterskelter release. She was bound, she had a metal sorry, a chain around her waist. That is correct. She had a bag over her head. Her left hand was in the vehicle chained to something. To make sure she didnt jump out of the car . She was chained any time she was in a vehicle. They opened the door. She doesnt know because she had a bag over her head, and they cut something to free her restraint that was holding her into the vehicle and kind of pushed her out of the vehicle, and she has, at this point, has no idea where she is at, and then ran to the freeway. But motorists kept whizzing past her. She screamed so much she was coughing up blood from the screaming trying to get somebody to, you know, stop, and again, just another sign of how my wife is. Shes so wonderful that she said, well, maybe people arent stopping because i have a chain, and it looks like i broke out of prison, so she tried to tuck in her chain under her clothes. Reporter this morning, the Shasta County Sheriffs Office revealing new details about sherris alleged abductors. Described as two armed hispanic women. The sheriff says suspect number one had curly hair, a thick accent and pierced ears. Suspect number two was the older of the two suspects. She had straight black hair with some graying color. Reporter but the big question still remains. Where was she held, what was the motive and was she specifically targeted, or was this a random act . You cut their hair. You beat them. Youre really talking about behavior of what a cult or an Extremist Group would use to break somebody down. Reporter now investigators tell us they are starting to work up a composite sketch of the suspects, but because sherri was hooded much of the time, they say she only got to see their eyes. So investigators say theyre working on digging out the other details, did she hear a train . Was she close enough to feel the vibrations . What did the room feel like . Anything to get a break in this story, george. Such a strange story. Thanks very much. Lets talk to dan abrams about it right now. So these details are piling up. Chilling details about her captivity. More on the captors, as well but so many Big Questions still remain. Oh, theres no question that all these questions remain, but thats what the investigation now needs to focus on which is who are these people . Why did they do it . And i think thats the most important question. You heard matt refer to it. Which is what was the motive here . Was she targeted . Is it random . If they can figure that out doesnt seem like theyre any closer on that right now. We dont know that, right . The investigators will try to keep certain details close to the vest on this. But those are the key questions that they need to assess. You mentioned keeping the details close to the vest. The sheriff did seem a little bit concerned that the husbands interviews may somehow compromise the integrity of the investigation. Well, he actually said that, right . And you can understand from the investigators perspective, their saying, look. We dont want the public at large to know everything. You know why . Because in a lot of these highprofile investigations, they get tons of tips, they get tons of people coming forward and they want to be able to assess who has real information here. Who actually knows something . Who may be real suspects . And the way a do that is keep certain Information Private and secret. Now from his perspective, from the husbands perspective, you can understand why he wants to go public, right . I mean, a lot of people are still saying, come on. This must be some sort of hoax. Even though the sheriff keeps saying thats right. No evidence to suggest its a hoax but you look under this case on google, for example, the number one search term is related to a hoax. So you can understand why the husband wants to come forward and say, not only was this not a hoax, but this was absolutely horrific for her and please understand how difficult this must be for her. You also see times the sheriff has contradicted some of the claims that the husband is relating, but he doesnt directly criticize him. Thats right. And theres small it seems so far t contradictions have been relatively small because most of the details have been accurate, it seems. Thats why the sheriff is not happy about it. Right . Meaning if youre getting all sorts of details that arent accurate it doesnt really matter. The problem for the sheriff is when youre getting all this information which, of course, the husband would know, these accurate details, then the sheriff has a little bit less to work with in terms of information that the public doesnt know. But ive got i sympathize with the husband in wanting to get it out there even if the answer is, yes, it makes the investigation a little harder. When you have people around the world saying, oh, this doesnt make any sense. I dont get it. And the husbands position is, my wife was branded. My wife was in chains, you can understand why he wants to get out there and Say Something about it. No question about it. Dan abrams, thanks very much. And you can see more of that exclusive interview with keith papini on a special edition of 20 20 tomorrow at 10 00 eastern right here on abc. Hey, michael. All right, george. Coming up on our big board, are we about to see the return of sarah palin . More on the big role she may play in trumps white house. Plus, a new show about a pope that has a lot of people up in arms.

Time now for our big board and were breaking down more of this mornings top stories. Stephen a. Smith is here at the table. As my grandma would say, hmm, hmm, hmm. I feel the same way. We cant wait to get to your story. But first, could sarah palin be headed to washington . The former Vice President ial nominee and trump loyalist is reportedly being considered for secretary of veterans affairs. Abcs Cokie Roberts joins us now to weigh in. What are you hearing about this, cokie . Well, what were hearing is what abc news has been reporting and sarah palin has been taking our story and posting it on social media, saying, veterans affairs. I have to say, robin, that fair or not, she has become basically a laughing stock, and donald trump as you so adamant throughout the campaign about the great care that he was going to show to veterans that putting her in that position could be a problem for him. Well, cokie, also if he does appoint her do you think shes going to have trouble with congress . Sure, she is. I mean, absolutely. Shes you know, shes a very controversial figure. Now, she was for trump very early in the campaign, so he probably does feel he owes her something. But this is more than he probably wants to take on and think of poor john mccain. Someone who cares desperately about veterans, who picked sarah palin as his running mate and has been very careful not a criticize her, but then he would have to vote on her. Thats a tough one. That would be a tough situation. So thats controversy, and we have another one, too. Yeah, we have another controversy. This one involving a new tv show, hbos new show the young pope premieres next month but its already sparking outrage over jude laws portrayal of a not so conventional vatican leader. Take a look. Your holiness. Your sins. I dont have any sins to confess. Im a contradiction. By god. I think i can see why a lot of people Larry Hackett is joining us. Larry, this pope is portrayed as a borderline antichrist personality, but compares himself to god. So what is the bitter reaction to this show . I have an idea what youre going to say. He smokes and drinks cherry coke so you can imagine, you know, the wrath that will fall on him. It debuted in italy to critical raves and for viewership, and as a former altar boy and choir boy, i can assure you that, you know, as surely as the eucharist follows the homily there will be people who find this completely offensive and one more attack on the Catholic Church. As you saw in that clip, the Catholic Church has three things that make it a fantastic vehicle for drama. It has power, it has mystery, and it has unbelievable pageantry and outfits. This lends itself to people recreating it and thinking preposterous things about it. We checked with the pope, the office the popes office says he doesnt even watch television so theyre not losing a lot of sleep about this but its driving the controversy that people are going want to see it. Well, were talking about it. Absolutely. We have to, you know, again, say this is not based on any particular pope, obviously. No, hes an american pope in this, right. All right. And cokie, you have covered popes, and of course, your mother, the u. S. Ambassador, so i saw you watching the clip as larry was talking. What do you think . Actually i was thinking as he was talking, Pope Benedict drank orangeade so its not that crazy. Look. We watched this just now in the makeup room. Will thes lots of clips of it, and what i have to say of it, its its really just tedious and boring and, you know, all of that that mystery and stuff. It gets lost in these long, long speeches, and really dont its not worth getting exorcised over because its just so bad. I think itll be the game of throne of st. Peter when it comes out. Couldnt resist that one. I could not. Stephen, would you watch it . Im going to at least watch it once. First of all, jude law is a great actor. No question about that and, secondly, controversy sells. Im going to see what everybody is in an uproar about before i decide whether or not im going to watch it. Leave it to stephen a. Love that. Now what could be the comeback for tiger woods. Thats what you are here to talk about. He hasnt played professionally in 15 months. Right. He is back now. A lot of people are talking about it. He looks good. Well, he always looks good in recent years until he has to swing that golf club, and then obviously he doesnt look so good when youre ranked 257th in the world at the time. Its been a bad time. Hasnt won a major since 2008 and when you think about tiger woods, its all about the majors. He has won since then, but not in a major. Its all about whether or not he will catch Jack Nicklaus 18 majors. Thats it. Thats all anybody cares about. Hes got 14. You dont think so. I dont think so. I think because of everything that he endured psychologically he was warped. When you come across as if you have been living a lie, and you get exposed for that, its a lot to overcome. I think physically, and in terms of his skill set, he can compete with anybody in the world when hes at the top of his game. But his edge was also psychological. He intimidated opponents and intimidates nobody now. You have guys feeling sorry for him and hoping he resurrects himself so they can all get paid, because when tiger is successful, you all get paid. I was intimidated watching him on tv. I felt bad for the guys he was going against. I didnt realize it was 2008, its been that long. Weve seen great comebacks. All of us have seen them is there. Im hopeful. I want everybody to answer this question. Question for everybody. Do you think tiger woods can be successful in his comeback . Maybe not this week, but at some point in his comeback . No, i dont see it. I really ive seen nothing in his game that tells me he can come back to the level that we were accustomed to seeing. If i can follow up on his psychological point, when you have athletes shooting for spliek kwa he like he is for nicklaus trophy, you need the crowd and audience behind you. I dont think theres a reservoir of good will for tiger. He is going to be doing this alone. I dont think the public cares about him and has a factor in how he performs. Come on, cokie. I dont know whether he can come back or not, but im thrilled to have him back because hes so cute. And its really fun to look at him. Oh. Cokie were all rooting for him. Im rooting for him.

He is being sued over statements made on his show about the olive oil sold in supermarkets, and abcs Mara Schiavocampo is here with all of those details. Good morning, mara. Reporter amy, good morning. Olive oil is big business. Americans today use three times the amount we used 20 years ago. Thats a market worth an estimated 2 billion. But on his show, dr. Oz questioned the quality of the vast majority of olive oil on store shelves, and now one group is fighting back. An olive oil trade association suing dr. Oz over this comment. Shocking 80 , 80 of the extra Virgin Olive Oil that you buy every day in your supermarket isnt the real deal. Reporter telling his millions of viewers during an episode in may, their olive oil might be fake. In a suit filed this week, the north American Olive Oil association, saying the famous tv doctor willfully and maliciously disseminated false information about olive oil. The dr. Oz show tells abc news they will aggressively defend the story which was covered by numerous other reputable news organizations. Adding that the statute the lawsuit is based on is discredited and constitutionally questionable. Now in the suit, the olive oil trade group notes that any oil with their seal of approval is regularly tested and meets their standards. Theyre seeking a jury trial and they are asking for punitive damages and legal fees. They are trying to fight for their reputation here. Dr. Oz isnt backing down saying hell go after this group. Hes not the first one to make these claims. A lot of news organizes covered this and called it fake, the issue is about call and i think thats the distinction. Its not that its not olive oil but the question is, does it meet the quality standards . Glad you left us some time. You look good. Thank you very much. My catwalk. Do the catwalk for us.

Hit it Grocery Outlet bargain market bargain market. Now its stuck in my head. We are back with our series, crossing the line where we focus on Sexual Harassment in the workplace. The eeoc tells us that three out of five women say theyve experienced Sexual Harassment on the job, and there have been more and more high profile cases of harassment reported just in the last few months. Our Business Correspondent Rebecca Jarvis is here. She sat down with diverse women from Different Industries to talk about it. Yes, george, good morning to you. We sat down with ten women to talk to them about what its really like on the job and to understand what women in the workplace are facing today. I have been sexually harassed. Touched and propositioned. This is my experience. Reporter their voices part of the 60 of women who say theyve experienced workplace Sexual Harassment. I felt isolated. Vulnerable. Small. Unsafe. Reporter we brought together ten women from ten Different Industries from finance to Hospitality Services to government to hear their experiences. I worked in restaurants for ten years. Every time i walked into the kitchen, someone would whistle. This person used guilt tripping to try to get me to do Sexual Activity as compensation. He would just stare at me really weird. I spent 25 years in the Financial Services industry. There was inappropriate behavior that would happen on the trading floor. Reporter according to government statistics, the finance sector is one of the industrys most prone to Sexual Harassment, but as youre about to see, Sexual Harassment knows no occupational boundaries. How many of you have been sexually harassed over the course of your career . Leave your hand up if its more than twice. More than three times. And then a shocking drop in hands. How many of you filed an hr request against your harasser . Statistics show that 70 of women who experience workplace Sexual Harassment never report it. Why . The fear of job retaliation. I think it always feels like an uncomfortable choice, and i have to really think about my values and whats important to me and weigh them against my career. I often feel like in the grand scheme of things, im just not that important to this company. In that moment i feel like theres an erasure of yourself. Reporter and yet all the women facing the problem in their own way. I just left, like, never returned back. I didnt even try to get a paycheck. I work in engineering with a bunch of guys, and im very up front with them, and i tell them, look, youre allowed to make comments. I understand, but the minute you start coming after me, well have issues. Reporter jenny yang leads the federal commission tasked with investigating those claims and says genderbased putdowns can also be a form of Sexual Harassment because its harassment based on ones gender. Sexual harassment is very much about power, but Sexual Harassment does not always involve propositioning. It can involve demeaning comments, crude language that makes women feel like theyre in a hostile work environment. How many of you have been referred to, show of hands, as a girl, a doll, a babe or honey at work . Sweetheart belongs on that list, as well. How many of you have heard youre too emotional . Youre being too emotional. Now dont get so emotional. Thats the now word for sexism and they put you down, but if you say anything, youre emotional because youre a woman. Reporter and when we asked what can be done to stop this behavior. It starts in the home and it starts with the parents and it starts with our discussion with our young men and saying, this is not okay. Reporter and from the family room to the boardroom. It starts from the top. It requires your leadership to message clearly that harassment is not tolerated. Reporter and a message from our forum of women in the workplace that part of the solution may lie within us. Im raising my voice because i want to be an agent of change. To encourage other young women that they too can take a stand. To break out of silence. Im speaking out against Sexual Harassment because it exists. Because it even exists. Because it exists, and it shouldnt. And it shouldnt, and as you saw there, when we asked how many women filed a complaint with the hr after experiencing or witnessing harassment, just two of them did, which is typical in these situations. Statistics tell us as many as 70 of women do not report it and what happened next is very telling. I asked, how many of you felt your report was met with something positive . Every one of those women put their hands down. I was also struck, george, and we were talking about this. By this idea that it starts in the home. Leslie, one of the women on the panel raised this idea that you have to teach your children. Relatives, siblings. We have to be doing a better job of drawing the line in the home and teaching these better attitudes. To girls and boys. And girls. Fascinating stuff. Upstairs to robin. You got to get up.
