Hope you had a good weekend. What a happy monday for Peggy Whitson. Yes. She should be very happy. Take a look at this message. Nasa congratulating her for breaking a record this morning at 1 27 a. M. Eastern, a very happy peggy right there. Congratulations. Rightfully so. Were following a lot of stories this morning. Its a milestone week for President Trump as he closes in on 100 days in office. Hes making a new push on Health Care Reform and preparing to unveil his tax cut plan. This morning hell meet with the u. N. Security council as tensions escalate with north korea, and former president barack obama is speaking for the first time in public since he left office in his hometown of chicago. That 100day mark five days away and we have a brand new abc poll with the Washington Post that shows that President Trump is in a deep hole with the public. Only 42 approve, 53 disapprove. Hes the only president in modern times with numbers that low early in the term. Supporters dont show any buyers remorse. Our chief White House Correspondent jon karl starts us off with the details. Good morning, jon. Reporter good morning, george. President trumps supporters are as happy with him as they have ever been. As he approaches his 100th day in office, a candid admission from President Trump. Achieving success in government is more complicated than it is in business. Everything, pretty much everything you do in government involves heart, the president told the associated press, whereas in business, most things nt involve heart. In ft, in business youre actually better off without it. No administration has accomplished more in the first 90 days. Reporter President Trump certainly has shaken up washington, but he has fallen short of the standards he set for himself during the campaign. In october, he offered a contract with the american voter. What follows is my 100day action plan to make America Great again. Reporter he promised legislation on ten Major Campaign promises within 100 days, but he has moved forward with only one of those bills so far. The plan to repeal and replace obamacare and that of course, still hasnt passed. The white house is now offering other measures of success, touting minor bills that have passed and executive orders. Weve signed more legislation into law in the first 100 days than anybody in the last 50 years. We put out more executive orders than any Previous Administration in the last 50 years. Reporter in the new abc news Washington Post poll, 56 of americans say President Trump hasnt accomplished much so far, and he faces other challenges. A majority say he lacks the judgment and temperament to serve effectively, and six out of ten doubt his honesty and trustworthiness. But Trump Supporters are still fully on board. 96 of those who voted for trump in november say they have no regrets. They would vote for him again. The poll has troubling signs for democrats. More americans, 67 , say the Democratic Party is out of touch and say the same of either trump or the republican party. The white house plans the president plans to sign at least four more executive orders this week on energy, veterans affairs, the use of federal lands. George, by friday, the president will have signed 30 executive orders. That is more executive orders than any president during the first 100 days since world war ii. And, jon, lets stick with that poll for a second. You point out a lot of the challenges for President Trump in the poll. Some of the warning signs for democrats as well. One of the biggest warnings for democrats, the surprising result if you ran the election today. Reporter yeah. This is very interesting. If the election were rerun today with those who voted in 2016, donald trump would beat hillary clinton, and george, its 43 40, meaning he would beat her in the popular vote. He didnt do that in the real election. That would be a real flip. Jon karl, thanks very much. Now to the showdown over a possible Government Shutdown. Reblicans and democrats trying to strike a deal before fridays deadline. Our congressional correspondent, mary bruce, is on capitol hill for us and has all the details. Good morning, mary. Reporter good morning, robin. If congress cant strike a deal by midnight friday, the president could be celebrating his 100th day with a Government Shutdown. The white house is hoping to avoid that, but the president is also driving a hard bargain, insisting on money to fund his border wall. That of course is a nonstarter for democrats. Now, despite the vast differences between the two parties, both say a shutdown is unlikely this week. Instead, youre more likely to see a shortterm spending bill that will give them more time to negotiate. Its expected that the president will also try to revive Health Care Reform. Is that going to happen this very busy week . Reporter as if the todo list this week isnt daunting enough, the white house is now making another push to try and get another deal on health care and notch a key victory for the president. There is a new compromise in the works, but its unclear if it has enough support to avoid those pitfalls of the first failed attempt, but the house speaker, paul ryan, has made clear unless a bill has enough support to pass, there will be no vote. Mary, thank you. That might get delayed for a week or so. We move on to the escalating tensions with north korea. Overnight President Trump spoke about the Nuclear Threat as north korea let loose with a new warning, threatening to sink an american aircraft carrier. Also, arresting a third u. S. Citizen. Abcs bob woodruff is tracking it all from seoul, north korea. Reporter dald trump speaking with the president of china regarding the stability of the korean region. The chinese president expressing his desire to achieve denuclearization through peaceful talks. Tensions between the u. S. And north korean government are at an alltime high with the uss carl vinson now off the philippines stopping towards the Korean Peninsula and the joint operation known as max thunder 150 miles south of seoul. Just this morning, north korea gave a warning. America must get out of south korea before we start a war against america, the news presenter said, adding that u. S. Operations are playing with fire. What she did not mention is north koreas newest prisoner, 58yearold american tony kim arrested saturday at pyongyangs airport, joining two other Americans Still in jail. Tomorrow marks the 85th anniversary of north koreas military, leading to concerns that they might celebrate that occasion with a new test of their nuclear capability. George. Everybody on edge. Bob woodruff thanks very much. The United States is closely watching whats going on over there in france as the election there, protests are erupting overnight. Voters rejecting their countrys Major Political parties. Its a race that could reshape europe and have major implications back here in the u. S. Abcs Alex Marquardt is in paris with that story for us. Good morning, alex. Reporter good morning, robin. Thats right. This was a major test not just for france, but for europe and really the brand of populism that President Trump rode into office. This was a loud rejection of politics as usual. Here we have two candidates, in the final round, both outsiders, ither om mainstream Political Parties with wildly opposing views. On the one hand, emmanuel macron, just 39 years old. He has a very proeurope message. Of hope and optimism. He is similar to barack obama. In fact, president obama called him just a few days from the election. On the other hand, you have marine le pen, compared to President Trump, vowing to crack down on illegal immigration, and what many saying is sending a strong antiislamic message, saying thatting the muslim head scarf should be banned in the streets of france. The european markets are opening back up. Here in france these is a saying that the french vote in their hearts in the first round, with their heads in the second round, meaning many believe that many will rally around macron to defeat le pen. Robin . Thank you, alex. Lets talk more about this with u. N. Ambassador nikki haley. Thank you for joining us this morning. Great to be with you. Lets start out with the french election. President trump has been tweeting about the election, calling it very interesting. Its probably one of the most consequential elections of our lifetime. Marine le pen wants to pull back from nato and europe. Macron wants to embrace those institutions. Whats at stake for the u. S. . You know, i think well deal with whoever is selected as president , but i c tell you the country, and these elections now mean more than they ever have, but what we have said is whoever the president is, we know that france will continue to be an ally, well continue to work with them and look forward to seeing the result. Even if they pull out of nato . I think that every country has to make their own decisions. And, you know, what you campaign on, and what you actually do is something thats totally different, and the people of france will speak, and i think at the end of the day that answer will come through, and well deal with them as we need to. Lets talk about north korea. Over the weekend we learned that american professor tony kim has been detained. Any idea why he was arrested or if hell be released . I think that north korea has been playing games from the very beginning. What were saying is kim jongun is trying to show his strength to the people of north korea, whether its just with all of these threats or what hes trying to do in terms of talking, in terms of trying to start war. What weve said is we dont want war so dont start one. And i think that just by detaining a prisoner is one more way he is trying to show his strength, and its not going to work. Do you think any one of those three american prisoners right now are in danger . Our focus is to get them out. Thats the goal. And, you know, you never like having any of your citizens that are detained, and hopefully, well work with china and see if we can get them released. President trump did speak with the president of china, president xi overnight and china urged restraint in this north korean situation. Is the United States prepared to explore exit ramps from this crisis . For example, china has asked the u. S. To consider suspending missiles with north korea. Is that an acceptable tradeoff . Were not going to do that. That is too important at this point. What we can say is south korea has been an ally from the very beginning. We want to protect them just as were protecting ourselves and thats what we said we were going to do. We were going to have the backs of our allies and call out our adversaries. And now north korea has done nothing but give every reason why we need to have military exercises in south korea. I think that while weve worked well with china, i think we saw a Unanimous Security Council released last week condemning north korea on what theyre trying to do with their testing and launches and what were saying is, look, were not backing down from south korea and north korea needs to get in line and china has been great in helping us do that. Any way to deescalate . I think, you know, really the power has been through china. They have shown genuine concern. I think they are trying to put the pressure on north korea and i think its working. And i think a lot of the rhetoric that you are seeing come out of north korea is just more of them trying to get the confidence of their citizens, but they are not getting the confidence of people around the world. You were talking about the french election, you said People Campaign in one way and govern in another. As the president approaches the end of his first 100 days, hes modified many of his campaign positions, particularly in the area of Foreign Policy and national security, doesnt think nato is obsolete anymore. Hes been tough on the u. N. But today hes with you hosting the ambassadors from the Security Council at the white house, take a harder line on russia, and softer line on china. Do you think being in office is changing how he feels about the world . The times that were dealing with right now, were seeing some aggression from some bad actors, seeing the need for strength with our allies and we have to show force when we have to show force. Weve seen the president say hes not afraid to make a decision, not afraid to act and hes going to change with the circumstances, and thats exactly what we want to see in a leader. On the United Nations hes proposed major cuts in funding for the u. N. , dismissed it on twitter as alub for people to talk and get together and have a good time. You think those ambassadors today will change his view on that . He is right when we say theres too much fat at the u. N. And i think its great that the Security Council members will have time with the president today. I think its great they will see general mcmaster and hear our views and hear where we stand because these are people that make a lot of important decisions and we need to make sure they are on our side. Thanks for your time this morning. Thanks, george. Big day for the white house. Absolutely. Now were going to turn to that tennessee kidnapping case. Tad cummins is set to appear in court this morning facing charges for abducting a 15yearold student. Abcs eva pilgrim joins us now from nashville, tennessee. Good morning, eva. Reporter good morning, michael. Cummins is due in federal court for his arraignment this morning. Elizabeth thomas may be back in tennessee, but her family telling us she isnt home yet.

Peggy whitson, we salute you. Does that turn your idea of the martian to Peggy Whitson . I was going to say, how does that really my mind works in mysterious ways. We are thinking of her. We are thinking of her today. Also right now, busy day ahead for President Trump. Just five days away from that 100day mark facing a potential Government Shutdown and rising tensions with north korea. He spoke with china and japans leader overnight and spoke with Germanys Angela Merkel today ahead of his meeting with the u. N. Security council. And millions across the southeast are facing flood watches and warnings. Nearly 20 districts are closed in tennessee this morning. That system is getting stronger and its going to bring more rain this afternoon. Thinking of everybody down that way. Now to that new fallout over another plane incident involving passengers and an American Airlines Flight Attendant. It started with a disagreement over a stroller and ended with that Flight Attendant under investigation. Abcs david kerley has the details for us. Good morning, david. Reporter good morning, robin. The Flight Attendants union is wondering whether the passenger who inserted himself into that disagreement should be investigated as well, and say this is a sign of rising tensions in packed planes. You cant use violence with a baby. Just give me back my stroller, please. Reporter this latest confrontation raising more questions about aiine customer serve. The mother boarding in San Francisco friday with Young Children and a double wide stroller. She wasnt letting go of the stroller. She grabbed the stroller and maybe a little bit of the Flight Attendants shirt. Reporter passengers say the Flight Attendant then forcefully removed that stroller, knocking the mother in the head and nearly striking one of her children. Was very upset, grabbed it and pulled it, and yanked it up. Violently yanked it, and stormed off the plane with it. Reporter a distraught mother and another passenger jumping in. Hey bud, hey bud, you do that to me and ill knock you flat. You stay out of this. Come on, try it, try it. Try it. Hit me, come on. You get the hell off of me. Reporter American Airlines immediately removed that crew member from duty and apologized, putting the mother on another flight, upgrading her to first class with a 1,000 voucher and a full refund. While that male passenger was making no apologies. A baby got hurt and that fired me up. Reporter they are drawing attention to what they call his threatening actions. We dont have the full picture, and what is disturbing to watch is he was directly threatened by another passenger who didnt have all the information. Oh, my god reporter all this coming just days after a passenger was dragged off a United Airlines flight. Two examples of how the flying experience is changing for some. These days, planes are jam packed, and nerves are frayed among the passengers. Reporter these were two incidents with united and american. United is going through a congressional hearing, and undoubtedly, robin, theyll be talking about what happened on this flight as well at american. Undoubtedly, were going to talk to dan abrams. So, the Flight Attendant facing any charges . Unlikely. I think you literally would have had an assault. You do hear certain citizens and the person who stepped in claiming that the Flight Attendant literally hit her with the stroller but i cant believe anyone is going to claim he was intentionally trying to hit her as opposed to reckless or negligent. In trying to remove the stroller. Everybody is still talking about the incident on United Airlines a couple of weeks ago, but the two cases dont have anything to do with one another. Except for that they are both being talked about. Thats why theres such a High Sensitivity right now. I think without the united case, this would just be considered a case of look at this crazy video that happened. Right now were highly attuned to what happens on airlines so were focusing on it. Its not just a p. R. Media issue. It does translate into legal which means that more people may end up taking legal action than might have ordinarily been the case because theres so much focus on the issue. From a p. R. Standpoint though American Airlines gets a big old a. Compared to what United Airlines did. They took very swift action here. The question is going to be, what did the Flight Attendant say . My guess is the Flight Attendant is going to Say Something like i was simply trying to remove the stroller as is required by the faa standards, and this guy steps in and starts going after me. Now, whether thats true or not, thats my guess as to what the Flight Attendants position is going to be. Because i think we really may see some sort of civil action here. Either from the passenger who stepped in or from the woman who had the stroller taken, or from the Flight Attendant himself. You never know what could happen. But again, because so many people are focusing on this stuff, it does tend to lead to more legal allegations. I have to agree. I was flying this weekend, west coast, and you can feel a difference. Its just a more tense. A little more tense, but everything was fine. Thanks.

All week long, were analyzing where things stand with his key Campaign Promises and we kick it off with the pledge of building that wall on the border of mexico. Forcing mexico to pay for it. We have cecilia vega here with the details. Good morning, cecilia. Reporter at the center, that wall. On day one he said he would build a big, beautiful wall, and mexico would pay for it. It was the opening salvo to Donald Trumps president ial campaign. Theyre bringing drugs. Theyre bringing crime. Theyre rapists, and some i assume are good people. Reporter ever since then illegal immigration has been his rallying cry. [ chanting build a wall ] reporter and signature promise. I will build a great, great wall on our southern border, and i will have mexico pay for that wall. Mark my words. Reporter within days of taking office, the president went to work, signing two executive orders, stripping federal funding from sanctuary cities, calling for triple the number of i. C. E. Officers, adding thousands of Border Patrol agents and ordering that construction begin on the nearly 2,000mile long wall. Were in the middle of a crises on our southern border. Beginning today, the United States of america gets back control of its borders, gets back its borders. [ applause ] reporter the president s supporters applauded the crackdown. I think Border Security is good for arizona. Theres going to be a physical barrier. Theres going to be manpower down on the border. Reporter but others living in fear, like this undocumented mother in los angeles, worried her family would be torn apart. They have to stay here, they have to live here. And they dont have to be worried for us. Reporter and now nearly 100 days in, construction on the wall expected to start this summer at the earliest. Bids have already been submitted. The price tag, estimates put it at 20 billion and counting. The president still pledging to make good on his promise. Were building the wall. In fact, its going to start soon. Way ahead of schedule. Way ahead of schedule. Reporter as for undocumented immigrants, compared to the same time last year under president obama, immigrationrelated arrests are up nearly 33 , and illegal border crossings are down since the president took office more than 60 compared to this same month last year. The Trump Administration calling it a sign their hard line on immigration is working. These numbers are lower because dhs and doj have shown that were serious about Border Security. Reporter okay, what about mexico paying for that wall . Mexicos leaders saying they are absolutely not paying for it. The president says they will, but he has changed his tune slightly, tweeting this weekend, eventually, but at a later date, mexico will be paying in some form for the badly needed border wall. Sol not immediately. The secretary of state told mee hasnt en talked to the Mexican Foreign minister. Well talk more about this with tom llamas and also e kelley, the morning host at 96. 5 in orlando, florida. That was one of trumps big wins. Joe, let me begin with you. You talk to trump voters every day. Lets start out with the number from our poll. 96 say theyre standing by President Trump right now and would vote for him again. Whats the secret to his staying power with those voters . Theres no sense that the Trump Supporters are backing off in their support for donald trump. They were there for him throughout the course of the campaign, particularly here in orlando. The i4 corridor was very important to his success and his successful election. And george, theyre staying behind him and even when it seems as if donald trump has taken a step backwards, when he had his failure if you will on getting Health Care Reform passed, the repeal and replace. So many of the Trump Supporters adamantly believe that that is part of the negotiation for President Trump, that he loses on purpose so that he can win at a later date, that President Trump is 15 steps ahead of everybody else. Losing on purpose, thats novel. But how about if he cant get mexico to pay for this wall . I think that the bottom line is, and as we talk to people here in Central Florida and were a really Diverse Community here. Theres not a day that goes by in which i dont hear a Foreign Language and not just spanish but a lot of Foreign Languages day to day here in orlando. The people who come to this country legally definitely want a wall put up. They definitely want strong Border Security. They have paid a great price coming here to this country legally, and they have just as big a problem with people who take shortcuts and come here illegally as President Trump says that he has. Let me bring in tom llamas. You were at just about every Trump Campaign rally. This was the goto line. As the crowd got a little too calm, he pulled out paying for the wall. It was a brilliant idea, some of his republican rivals adopted it, others mocked it. Its also political gamble because you have to build a wall. Theres no wiggle room there. A month after he announced his candidacy, he mentioned the wall, as cecilia reported, and then he goes down to the border. He actually spent more time with reporters doing two news conferences than actually examining the border. But he was 100 right tapping into what republicans were frustrated with. With illegal immigration. But the clock is ticking, george, and he has to point to something or stand in front of something and say i got this wall built. Which is why hes insisting having some wall funding in this government funding bill that keeps the government open after the end of this week. If the republicans dont go there, hes probably going to have to back off.

We got a superstar with us, former nasa astronaut Mike Massimino here at the table. Were going to talk about your story in just a moment. Love this guy. First a heartstopping moment caught on tape. Dashcam footage capturing a 4yearold girl falling from a moving bus in arkansas tumbling onto a highway. An off duty firefighter rushed to rescue her. Gio benitez joins us now. Thankfully we know that the little girl is home and recovering from her injuries. Just bring everybody up to speed on what happened here. Reporter hey, robin. Weve got a shuttle bus just like the one in that incident. I want to show you that video again because its unbelievable. You have that dashcam rolling there, and there you see that truck just opens up. That door just opens up. That little girl holding on tightly. She cant hold on tight enough. She falls off. That offduty firefighter stops the car, rushes to her side there and holds her until she regains consciousness, really just a hero in every sense of the word. Take a look at what he had to say. Once the adrenaline and the shock kicked in in her little body, she started kicking and screaming and, you know, wheres my mommy, and things like that, so stuff like that is really heartbreaking, you know, i have kids, and its just tough. Tough to see and hear. Gio, is it possible that a 4yearold could open that door . Reporter you know what, michael . Investigators are looking into that right now. But here we have a shuttle bus. A shuttle bus just like it. Were going to open it up. You see lift to open, you just do that. So presumably a 4yearold could do it, but investigators are looking into that. Ford has not yet responded to our request for comment. She broke her jaw, had some surgery thats upcoming but she is going to make a full recovery. Which is great. Great the firefighter was there. Scary situation. Glad shes going to be okay. Thank you, gio. Now to astronaut Peggy Whitson. She blasted her way into the history books overnight, the commander of the International Space station breaking the american record for most time spent in space, 534 days. Thats a long time. And President Trump congratulated her this morning and we have former nasa astronaut, Mike Massimino. Mike, 534 days a long time. A year and a half in a span of three missions. How big is this record, how big of an accomplishment . This is huge. I know peggy a long time. We were astronaut classmates together 21 years ago. I think shes a great role model for all of us, but particularly for women in the engineering and science field. She was the first woman to command the International Space station. She did that back in 2008. She came back from that, and she became a boss. Became the chief astronaut and had always been a military test pilot man who had done that job. She became the first woman to be our chief and now she has more time in space than any other american. Its just a great accomplishment. And i love how shes so inclusive saying its a great moment for women but for all of us. For everybody. For everybody. You have spent a lot of time in space, maybe not quite that much. No, not that long. You know mentally and physically, what does that do . We found a couple things that are important. One is that its important to keep connected with the earth. So you can skype with your family, you can call. If you ever get a phone call from houston, and you dont recognize the number, take it because it might be the International Space station. I got tricked a couple times. See the houston number, pick it up because your friends can call you from the International Space station. Physically you can go through a lot of changes, bone loss, muscle loss. You have to exercise. Twohour exercise peod six days a week on the International Space station. Run on a treadmill, exercise bike. You can pick up 600 pounds and not even know it in space. We have resistance exercise with springs and bands so you dont get that muscle and bone loss. Gosh. The russian athlete who has retirenow. , 879 days, hes do you think dr. Whitson has a chance to break that . She has got a couple more months here. She is going to get closer. If she flies again maybe she will. The russians have a few Smaller Group of cosmonauts and they fly them over and over again. Americans have a lot of astronauts, dont get to fly as much. But records are meant to be broken even in space. You still got the fire in your eyes. Im very happy for peggy. Thanks for covering the story. Its a great story. Wonderful having you here.

The accuweather 7day forecast, getting warmer slowly facebook coo Sheryl Sandberg whos also on the board of our parent company, disney, taught us how to lean in with her best selling 2013 book. Two years later, her beloved husband Dave Goldberg died suddenly and unexpectedly. Now shs showing us how to make the most of option b, the title of her new book. Please welcome our dear friend, Sheryl Sandberg. [ applause ] as it should be. Thank you, robin. I enjoyed reading the book, got so much out of it and im going to Say Something right here. In our control room, lily, our dear director, just lost her father and she really needs this segment, as many people do in suffering loss. Tell people what you mean by option b . My husband died suddenly, and its an unimaginable thing to live through. I felt like there was a void closing in on me. I wouldnt be able to breathe. Above all i really worried that my kidsappiness would have just been wiped out in tt instant we lost dave. An so i turned to my friend adam grant, a psychologist, and i said what do i do, what do i do to get myself through this, get my kids through this. What he taught me was that were not born with a fixed amount of resilience. Its a muscle everyone can build. A few weeks later, i was talking to my friend phil about a father son activity that dave wasnt going to be here to do, and we came up with a plan to fill in for dave, but then i said, but i want dave, i want dave to go. And he said option a is not available, so lets just kick the out of option b. And we all live some form of option b. Youve lived through cancer. People go to prison. People lose jobs. People get divorced. People suffer unbearable loss. And the question is, then what . How do we make the most of it. How do we make the most of it, how do we not only help ourselves but also help people to help us get through this. One thing, do you notice, theres an elephant in the room. There is. Right over there literally. Theres an elephant in the room. And you talk about how when you went back to facebook there was an elephant in the room, the death of your husband, but were so do we talk about it, not talk about it. Its the elephant in the room. I love the stuffed elephant because for me it wasnt just the brigrief, it was the isolat of before i lost dave, dropped my kids off at school, said hi to everyone, walked into the office, everyone would chitchat. Now not so much. Everyone whos been through cancer says that happens to them or any of these other kinds of adversity. And i understand that. I used to do i thought if someone was going time i saw them i would say irst something but if wouldnt bring it up. You cant remind me i lost dave. I know i lost dave every day to this day and i always will. So when people didnt say anything, it felt so isolated, like there was a huge elephant following me around. One of the reasons adam and i wrote option b was to kick that el foephant out of the roo i know youvize izused that stuffed animal. Tell people i love in the book the three ps. That really got me. I never really thought of it like that. Tell people about that. Psychologists talk about the traps that keep us from recovering. Personalization, blaming ourselves. We blame ourselves for things that were our fault, for things that werent. Even when we make mistakes, and all humans do, selfcompassion is huge for recovery. Both men and women need to do better but women particularly. Pervasiveness, it doesnt affect all areas of your life. After dave died, even months later, i felt guilty laughing at a joke. Really . Oh yeah. Surviv survivors guilt is so big. Why did i survive in my cancer group and no one else did. Letting yourself feel good about the things that are still left in your life. And permanence, knowing it would not feel that way forever. When i lost dave, i thought the early grief, those days where it felt like every day was a month, would never get better. And you know what, the grief is still here, i still miss dave, but it is not like it was two years ago. Im hoping this book helps people believe that in a way that i didnt. Youre going to help a lot of people. You also talk about things that you should not say. Peoples hearts are in the right place, but sometimes they say things when people are grieving, such as . Well, its about acknowledging pain. So even the very standard greeting we all do every day is le witell, i just got diagnosed wi cancer, im not so good. I just lost my husband. Its hard to answer. How are you today . I know youre living minute to minute, day to day, and im there with you. The power of doing something rather than offering to do anything. I used to do this. When someone was going through something hard, i would say and i meant it is there anything i can do . Thats a classic line and we mean well when we say that but be specific. Thats right. When i heard that question, its so hard to answer. It shifts the burden to the person youre trying to help and i didnt have an answer. Can you make fathers day go away so i dont have to live through it every year. Rather than that, just do something. My dear friends tragically lost a son. They were in the hospital for months. One of their friends texted from the hospital lobby and said im in the lobby for a hug for the next hour, whether or not you come down. I love that. I love that. Show up. Show up. And as you have, beautiful oped in the New York Times today and talking about resilience which you talk with adam a lot in the book and specifically about your children. How are they doing today, your children . How are they . And how have they been resilient through this . My kids are incredible. Kids have incredible resilience, and they need it. They need it if they face trauma like mine. So many children face hardship, but they need it for the daily things in life. Im really proud of my kids. They have they have perspective i would not wish on any child. But they have it. A few weeks ago my sons Basketball Team lost the playoffs and a lot of the other little boys were upset, there were some tears, and i looked at my son and i said how are you . He said, mom, this is 6th grade basketball. Im fine. We have 20 seconds left. Joy, you end by talking about joy. You have joy back in your life. I do. And i try to notice it. One of the best suggestions is write down three moments of joy a day because no matter what hardship were facing, theres a moment. Your coffee tastes good, my daughter gave me a hug, someone gave you a smile, and then we focus on joy. And to say were going to get through this, we are going to get through this, not i. Yes. We are here for you, Sheryl Sandberg. Its called option b, its out now. Good morning to you. Big heads up if youre flying out of is no, you may want to change with your airline out of sfo.

You know, i love the conversation that we had with Sheryl Sandberg and how everybody was quiet and listening and taking it all in. We all have loss and she would be the first one to say theres no right or wrong way when dealing with loss or how to console somebody but its just having the right place and to know you have an option b. We are going to talk about this great guest that we have out as well. This has been a wonderful monday. Welcome nba superstar, former l. A. Laker, now filmmaker, kobe bryant. [ cheers and applause ] welcome. Thank you. Hi, robin. Hello, kobe. Hello. Hello, hello. Sit down so we can look at each other eye to eye. That guy in the yellow shirt is your biggest fan ever. Whats up, my man. How many times you hear that . But he really is. Yesterday your movie dear basketball premiered at the tribeca film festival. Congratulations on that. I had a chance to sit down with a Panel Discussion with you and glen king who is the animator of this. It shows from when you first started basketball to the end of your career, but when you did know, like, im in love with this sport, this is what i want to do . You know, i couldnt put the basketball down, you know. Like when my parents bought me a brand new basketball, i found myself laying in bed and shooting with it, just kind of laying there shooting with it. And then id fall asleep with it. Id get up in the morning and id play again. I just could not stop. Those are pretty clear signs. Well, when youre at school and you try to do your homework in school, so when you go home you can just play basketball all the day, thats when you know its serious. I didnt know before this your dad was in the biz, too. So was this always about sort of following in the family footsteps . Y know, he never pushed basketball on me. My uncle played basketball, my grandmother played basketball, my cousins, but it was never pushed on me. Did he ever warn you against it . No, no. I just had a basketball and never put it down, never put it down. I like the smell of a new basketball. Oh, my god, yes. Dont get my started. I can completely geek out on the smell of a basketball, the sound it makes when it hits the hardwood or when it goes through the net. How about the sound of your the sneakers squeaking or the brand new sneakers and you smell the sneakers. We can go on and on. This wonderful animated short film and i remember talking to you right before your last season and how you were preparing yourself for this next act. Youve surrounded yourself with some wonderful people who animated the music. You really have done that again, havent you, good people around you . Thats the beauty of creating things, you have the opportunity to work with people that want to create great things. I couldnt have been more fortunate to come out in the first project and work with glen king and john williams. Its just you know. The back story on glen king is hes an incredible animator whos done some of the most iconic characters. Beauty and the beast, tarzan, poke han tuss, little mermaid. When it comes to handdrawn animation, hes the guy. And of course john williams, star wars. I called him up, i said, john, i have a piece, i would love for you to score. Hes just very oh, that would be wonderful. Um, let me just finish this star wars piece. What did you think when you first saw kobe the cartoon . I thought it looked just like gee anna, our daughter. Little kobe, i looked at the face and i was like, oh, my god, it looks just like gigi. Speaking of your kids, 14 and 10, what did they think of the film first of all, and secondly, are they the harshest critics you have . Well, it held their attention. Thats a clue. Thats a good start. But they, just like any parent, my kids dont listen to me. I say, hey, you got to work hard and this stuff and nothing. 14 and 10. Nothing, crickets the they got to hear it from beyonce or somebody else. They cant hear it from me. You want to see a little bit of it . [ applause ] the moment i started rolling my dads tube socks and shooting imaginary gamewinning shots in the Great Western forum, i knew one thing was real. Wow. I want more. I want more. I know. The way they morph from when youre a kid rolling up the socks to a basketball and jumping in celebration winning with the lakers and laying on your bed as a kid, all these memories, and when you guys sat down, how did you take something that was a love letter to basketball and think this needs to be an animated film . I tried to write it very in a visual way versus simply coming out and saying this is how i feel. Try to put it through story. You see the dedication and commitment through rolling my dads tube socks, or you see it through all the vhs tapes of all the past games so you can see the growth and you can see the love. Im curious, when we look at that and some of the stuff like youre doing all this stuff, celebrating and it shows muscles, did you go to im serious, did you look at glen at one point and say, hey man, my bicep is a little too small, you need to pump the bicep up a little bit. You got to chisel that up right there. Unfortunately, i cannot hide from what the tv is showing. Ive been a twig forever. Lara and i were wondering, do you miss it . No, i dont. Its crazy but never . No. Ive given i started playing when i was 2. So after playing for 20 years in the league, what i have now is everything that ive learned from the game i carry with me to this day, so the game never truly left me. Physically yes, but emotionally and the things that i write all stem from the game. Its still a part of me. Then the other thing is that for athletes that come next, understanding that there is a finality to it and thats okay. Its very hard to let go of something that youve done for half your life, and its kind of become who you are. Theres a difference between doing what you do versus understanding that that is not who you are. And hopefully other athletes can see and understand that. A great lesson. [ applause ] thank you. Thank you. Thank you. We wont put you on the spot of whos going to win it this time. Okay, cool. Hes good with that. Were going to move on because we have a special treat this monday morning.

Were feeling good. Michael, back inside to you. Thank you, rob. We are here now with Caitlyn Jenner. [ applause ] shes opening up in a new memoir called the secrets of my life about her journey to becoming her true self. Joining us for her first live interview to talk about crate ly kaitlyn. Good to see you. Weve been friends forever. For a long time. Ive called you about coming out and playing golf with knee. I dont want you to beat me. Thats why i havent shown up. You dont want to get beaten up by a 67yearold transwoman. Its embarrassing, isnt it . We will do that. I remember two years ago you spoke with diane sawyer and in that interview you said i want to change the world. Do you think youve done that in some ways . I dont know. You know, ill let other people determine that. I think i certainly have over the last two years opened up the conversation about a very marginalized community and im very proud of that. I really had no choice but to come out publicly just because the tabloids and the media were just destroying me for so long. But i also tried to if i do that, can i make a difference. And so ive just worked over the last two years, been misunderstood, made a lot of mistakes, but ive worked hard to try to make a difference for our community and will continue to do that. And in this special on friday which i watched on friday night, you had a chance to speak with some families who had different opinions on transgender. Do you think that those conversations have changed your perspective or helped your perspective . Ive learned a lot. Over the last two years when i did the first diane sawyer, i had never met anybody who was trans. You had never met anyone . Never. I couldnt out myself, you know. I had to stay stealthy. So over the last two years it has been a learning process. And i have met some of the most wonderful people in this community who have been through such difficult times in their life and theyve overcome these things. Honestly, i think everybody should go out and meet a trans person instead of thinking, oh, my god, theyre trans, i cant talk to them, i dont know, find out about their story. There are amazing people. Theres nothing more fun for me than just going out and spending time. The other night i had dinner with three other trans girls and we sat around at dinner talking, sharing our conversations of their lives and what theyve been through. Theyre fascinating. Ive just so enjoyed being part of that community. As you said, this hasnt been easy for you, it hasnt been easy for your family and we have a clip from last nights episode of the kardashians. This is what your exwife, kris jenner, had to say about your book. Ive never been so angry and disappointed in somebody in my whole life. Im done. Done. Now, do you think she has any reason to feel that way . Do you think i didnt see it last night. Thanks for swing that. Thats what were here for. Yeah. I missed it last night. Actually, i dont watch the show very often, but, first of all, i feel like the book is extraordinarily honest. It is my perspective, and obviously when you do a book like that, theres different opinions. I ve a lot of friends that know the truth and know what ive been through and know the whole situation. Hey, its a reality show. It is drama. But you know, im just kind of sorry she went down that road, but shes a good person and weve had 23 great years together and raised wonderful, phenomenal kids. Absolutely. And speaking of kids, what is your relationship like with your kids now . Um, you know, when you go through Something Like this, you always hope for the best, and it could not have been any better. My kids have been absolutely great. Now, youre certainly closer with some than you are with the others. But thats always in a relationship. But also, i always wonder because i dont see them as much as i used to see them, obviously, and so you wonder is that because of what i went through or just because, you know what, i raised wonderful kids. From the beginning, entrepreneurial, be smart, this is a business, you got to treat it like a business. All of them have gone out, have kids. Ive got 11 grandchildren now, have children, have successful jobs. They travel all over the world. Thats also the reason why i dont see them quite as much as any parent feels the exact same way. I thank you for coming here and sharing this with us. I promise you were going to play some golf. You better. You got to give me some strokes. I need about five strokes. You want strokes now from a trans girl . The book is the the secrets of my life. It is out tomorro make sur you check it out. Well beightacverybody. Welcome to maxx you.
