Our moms are, you know, very busy and important right now, so we have the next best thing. We brought their bobble head dolls, okay . They made theres my mom. My mom be like and now look at joni. Oh, you have to get her oh, yeah. Gosh. A ringer. Anyway, we brought bobble heads provided for us. Okay. You were happy last night with the cma awards last night. They were a home run. Like a perfect they really blend everything. They do. Who is perfect . Carrie underwood. Perfect, beautiful, pregnant, glowing, tons of change, comfortable in her own skin. You want your daughter to grow up and be her, and she showed it again when she was on stage and she sang like nobodys business, yes, she was a home run. The big winner tonight shes got a beautiful voice, announced a baby boy a known connection prior to her abducti abduction. Heres a vicious predator, off the streets for the rest of his life hopefully. Reporter the search ends after the abduction was released, followed by videos of the suspect buying groceries and using her bank card in an atm 75 miles from where she was taken. Last night, friends, family, and neighbors turned out to light candles, a sign of gratitude and relief. Im glad. You know, i dont know what else to say. Im just happy. Reporter today, the family was given everything to celebra celebrate. The suspect remains in police custody. Authorities say barnes will not immediately return to pennsylvania. Hesme menwanted on another chaf kidnapping in virginia. Savannah . Thank you very much. Charles ramsey, the Police Commissioner of philadelphia, good morning to you, sir. Good morning. You got to know her family, can you tell us about her condition this morning, how shes doing . Well, shes resting at home now. We brought the family down to Howard County hospital last night, so they could reunite with her, released from the hospital, so we brought them back to philadelphia, and shes at home now, letting her get some rest before we actually continue to interview her. We have some information, but we want to give her a chance to settle down and be with the family for a moment. What do you know about the suspect in this case . Hes got a criminal history. He was already wanted in charles city, virginia for attempted murder, abduction, aggravated assault, a variety of charges. He was convicted of rape here in philadelphia back in 2005, and he has a very extensive criminal history, violent predator, very fortunate to get her back alive. You called him a thug yesterday. Any evidence he targeted her in particular . Well, they didnt know one another before hand, and it could just be a chance encounter. I mean, well know more when we have a chance to sit down and thoroughly interview her and interrogate him. Hes held now on charges that were filed by virginia as i mentioned before, and so we still got a lot of investigative work to do, but this was a stranger abduction as far as we know right now. This case got so much notice, of course, because of the Surveillance Video that captured this violent abduction. In your mind, is that piece of videotape what made the difference in this case and led finally to her rescue . Theres absolutely no question. Ive been in policing for 46 years, and ive never actually seen a kidnapping on video. It really did add to the sense of urgency. We were able to get it out to the media right away. That followed by a couple other pieces of video that we were able to obtain through the course of the investigation, and that led to a tip of an individual who had sold a car to this person. We contacted authorities in virginia, found that he had a warrant, able to track him to jessup, maryland, and we had a task force put together with atf, fbi, and u. S. Marshal service, and the Baltimore Field Office spotted the car, conducted surveillance, and he stepped out of the car momentarily, they took him down and not have a hostage situation and rescue her. It worked out great, and its unusual because usually the longer the things go, the less likely you are to find a victim alive. I know. You must be happy to have a happy ending. Congratulations on the great police work. Charles, thank you. Thank you. And now heres matt. Savannah, thank you, turning to politics now in the fallout of the midterm elections. President obama suggests it could lead to a wave of compromise in washington, but with the general election just two years away, is that possible . Nbc senior White House Correspondent has more. Good morning. Reporter well, what looked to be a temporary truce between president obama and the congress lasted less than 24 hours. Republican leaders say the focus of the new congress is to repeal the president s signature accomplishment, obamacare. Hes not backing down on immigration. For more than an hour, president obama talked about what had been a crushing defeat for the democrats, though he did not put it that way. The resounding message, not just this leelection, but the lt several is, get stuff done. Reporter four years ago, he was more colorful after a bruising midterm. Im not recommending every future president take a shallacking like i did last night. Reporter this year, not promising changes to the style or staff, but he said he got the vote voters message and pledged to compromise across the aisle after a new breed of republican helped the gop take control of the senate. We are are going to make them squeal. As president , they rightly hold me accountable to do more to make it work properly. Reporter friday, he meets with congressional leaders at the white house looking for issues to agree on including Mitch Mcconnell who said wednesday he expects to be the majority leader. When People Choose a divided government, that doesnt mean they dont want us to do anything, but look for areas of agreement. Reporter that could include fixing crumbling roads and bridges as well as Corporate Tax reform, but the president says hell bypass congress with an executive order on Immigration Reform. What im not going to do is just wait. I think its fair to say that ive shown a lot of patience and have tried to work on a bipartisan basis as much as panel, and im going to keep on doing so. Reporter republicans say that could poison the well for other deals, but the president suggested they just might work things out over a drink. I would enjoy having some kentucky bourbon with Mitch Mcconnell. Reporter no kentucky bourbon summit on the books, but the white house is planning for the big meeting tomorrow, and theyll have bills ready for the vote in the new year, a change.

Lyrica may cause serious allergic reactions or suicidal thoughts or actions. Tell your doctor right away if you have these, new or worsening depression, or unusual changes in mood or behavior.

Back now on this thursday morning with more on the ebola crisis. Amber vincent, one of two democracy nurses who became infected is out of the hospital and on the road to recovery. This morning, she is speaking out about her ordeal and her controversial decision to fly days before her diagnosis. Amber, good morning to you. Good morning. How are you feeling . Im feeling good. I get a little tired as the days go on, but i feel good. Obviously, as you know, Texas Health Presbyterian hospital has been criticized quite severely for some of the things that happened while mr. Duncan was under their care. Did you feel prepared by the hospital, by the nursing staff, by the management of the hospital to deal with an ebola patient . You know, we did not get much training. The first time that i put on the protective equipment, i was heading in to take care of the patient. So we didnt have excessive training where we could don and put on and take off the protective equipment until we got a level of being comfortable with it. I didnt have that. One of the most talked about aspects of your story, amber, the fact that after mr. Duncan passed. A couple days later, you into you to see family and friends in ohio. Did you talk about that trip with anyone at the hospital . Did anyone tell you not to go . No, i was never told that i couldnt travel. I talked to my icu management team. I actually called in on monday to verify that i was permitted to travel and then again i was at work on like tuesday or wednesday and i talked to management in person. And they said the cdc said it was okay to go. When you were still in ohio, the reporting has been that you called someone at the cdc and said, im going to come back to dallas and there have also been reports that you were feeling feverish at that time. Is that true . That is completely false. I never felt like ive read that someone said i felt weird or didnt feel right . Im a nurse, im a medical term i can use to quantify how i was feeling. I felt fievenl i felt normal. But that sunday when i heard about my colleague nina coming down with the virus, i was floored. I was afraid for myself and my family because i did everything that i was instructed to do every time and i felt like iffy na can get it, any one of us could have gotten it. So when you decided to come back to dallas, did you call anyone as a precaution and say, look, nina pham has come down with ebola, im about to travel to dallas on a commercial plane, is that okay . I never had a number to call the cdc directly. I would always callpy contact at the Health Department and then when i was in ohio before i was scheduled to leave, because i was so afraid of what could potentially happen, i did ask them. Well, is there anything that, you know, you guys can do to send for me . Do i need to leave earlier . You know, because i was worried. Im sure you read some of the reports that said the Amber Vincent was a nurse and how could she have gotten on that plane . It was careless and reckless, how did that make you feel in. It made me feel terrible. Because thats not me. Im not careless. Im not reckless. Im an icu nurse. I embrace protocol and guidelines and structure because if my daytoday nursing, it is a matter of life and death and i respect that fact. And you are still a nurse. Im wondering if you were called to do it again, to treat another ebola patient, would you do it . Absolutely. Nursing is what i do. I can never see a patient there that needs help and not do everything i can to help them. Amber vincent, im really happy you are feeling well. I thank you for your time. Thank you. She went on and had really nice things to say not only her own hospital but the folks at Emory University in atlanta that got her back to health. How can you get struck by this spirit of caring, all these nurses said i would do what i promise to do in medicine. Carson is in the orange room. You have an announcement. I do, savannah.

Over the years, which drove the sequel of the fans of all ages going i still laugh, it still cracks me up. Why . What is it about these two best friends that you think people like so much.

It never quite came to be until now. So why was at this time right time to bring these four friends back together . You know, lloyd and harry and jeff and jim . Well, jim was resistant to sequels. He didnt do a sequel to anything. They wanted him to do mask. He said no, lets just not do something to try to capitalize on it and make money.

Because you also still have your life the way you want it. Yeah. You still live in michigan. That is home. Yes. Even though hollywood calls every once in a while, you grab on that that fiercely . We wanted to raise the kids there. Kathleen and i are from there, when it was 1986, we said, lets go back there, ra tidz kids in a place we understand. Ill compute and it worked.

All right, this is some incredible video that weve seen earlier today. Im not sure you have seen it. It is worth watching it again. Everyone is okay. But dozens of people were having lunch. Look at that the driver of the suv plowed through the glass. One man was pinned. Nine people were taken to the hospital. Thank goodness, mostly minor. The driver said it was an accident. The person hit the gas instead of the brake but to als point, oh my, its like a sea of fear. The person. In houston, texas . Yes. The person then puts the car in reverse. I dont know how that happens. Im not even being smulg when i said it. Do we know if it was an elderly person . Oftentimes we see they hit the right pedal. Lets find out if theyve identified the age of the driver. We seen that in the past. You are sitting there, thats one of those moments in life perspective, here you leave the day, you never know, what can prepare you for that . Most of the people slide.

That is awesome. Okay. So this is interesting, dean mcdermott, hes married to Tori Spelling and they have been we have been watching what has been happening in their marriage on their television show, he did this drop by of access hollywood and he was very, very revealing about what is going on in their lives. Lets take a look at what he told billy and kit on access hollywood live. I cant do this anymore. I cant keep, you know, opening a vein and opening my soul and sharing my feelings and thoughts and demons with the world, you know. I need to i want some of my privacy back. When we shoot it, we try to keep it as real at the time as possible and we have a short turnaround, but it, you know, if there is any progress made on either of our parts, seeing some things can set us off and set us back. Thats a good point, though. Said that from the very beginning you know what . Get the cameras out of there, go solve your problems, seek counseling, get on your knees together and pray, you know . Just but away from some things once you shared everything, nothing is sacred. Nothing is sacred. And we like tori so much, we dont know dean very well, but we wish them very well. For the sake of the children. If you get in a fight with your husband or boyfriend or whatever and two weeks later you bring it back up and you even just talking about it again makes you crazy all over again, so imagine if you had to watch yourself fighting again. They dont have to watch it. I know. But you know, you dont have to. It is true. You really dont. Yes. But he did say there is an upside. He said the show has done some good. It expedited conversations they needed to have and he also said about tori, i love this woman. Regardless of what ive done, i want to grow old with her. At this moment, she feels the exact same way. We wish them all the best. We really do. I just cant watch people, you know, it breaks my heart for them. The more you watch some of the reality shows, were seeing the full monty, like were watching it happen, watching them fall in love and break up and fight and fall apart, it seems like the more youre watching the reality shows, the more youre thinking to yourself, like, is this a good idea from the beginning. From the outside, from the beginning it seems okay. The more the fame, the more the problems. And shouldnt be surprising when it happens. There you go. Guinness book of world records, we always have them around here. We have recordbreaking news for you. This is going to be crazy. We dont know how this is going to happen. But al roker said he can do it, so we believe him. He said hes going to try to break the record for the longest weather forecast. Listen to what he has to do. Tell it in detail. He has to do a live uninterrupted Weather Report for 34 hours. How i thought he got bathroom breaks and i think theyre working that out. Five minutes an hour. That means he cant talk about anything except weather, all the time. Okay. Well thats sort of what he does now anyway, you know. I mean, if anybody can do it, it is al. Al is the hardest working guy on this network. No question. He has the best attitude. And jill martin will try to break another record. She teamed up with kenneth cole to build the Worlds Largest high heeled shoe. What is she going to do . I dont know. Get a hammer and bang on it. Good for jill. Okay. Were going to reveal that giant shoe. We are. Is it okay or not okay to take bathtub photos . Heres what we had to say about it. There is a big difference, hoda, between nude and lewd, and a wise person learns the differences early as possible. I say no, it is not okay. Imagine what would happen if you dropped your phone in the tub. I mean, think it through. Am i actually hearing you say that . Im so proud of you, hoda. Why . We got the eyes perfectly. Those guys do a great job there on graphics. Thank you. Youre going to be with j. Lo tonight. 92nd street y tonight at 7 30.
