Transcripts For KTNV Good Morning America 20160129

And good morning, america. Happy friday. Okay, could you make a free throw staring at Michael Phelps like that. Curtain of distraction . You never know whos going to be behind that curtain. Welcome back, robin. Thank you. What a night in politics last night. Last debate for the republicans before the first votes and donald trump did follow through on that promise. He refused to take center stage, instead he hired a hall just five minutes away, held his own event to raise money for veterans. Actually it was at one point in the evening there were five big events going on at the same time. As you know, three days until the Iowa Caucuses, and its your voice, your vote. We have full Team Coverage starting with abcs jonathan karl. Hes in des moines, iowa, this morning. Good morning, jon. Reporter good morning, robin. Donald trump has dominated this race since the moment he got back in in june, but for one night, the other candidates took center stage without him. Before we get to the issues, lets address the elephant not reporter from the start of last nights debate, the republican candidates took on that elephant not in the room. Donald trump. Donald trump. Donald trump. Donald. Donald. Donald. Donald trump. Donald trump. Reporter trumps competitors mentioned his time seven times in the first ten minutes with ted cruz mocking the donalds absence. Im a maniac and everyone on this stage is stupid, fat and ugly, and, ben, youre a terrible surgeon. [ laughter ] now that weve gotten the donald trump portion out of the way [ laughter ] reporter but a debate without trump turned mostly tame, a showdown without the spectacle. The candidates instead dove into policy, the first real fireworks coming over immigration reform. Because you used to support a path to citizenship. So did you. Well, but you changed so did you, marco. Throughout this campaign anything in order to get votes. Now you want to trump trump on immigration. The facts are simple. People of texas, if you elect me, i will lead the fight against amnesty. I feel like a need washington to English Dictionary converter. Ted can change his mind. Marco can change his mind. Stop the washington bull and lets get things done. Reporter hoping to rise in iowa before mondays first in the nation caucus, marco rubio talked tough on Foreign Policy and also took on the democrats. I think Bernie Sanders is a good candidate for president of sweden. Reporter cruz at center stage for the first time failed to take over the spotlight left open by trumps absence. His tangle with the moderators falling flat. Chris, i would note that the last four questions have been, rand, please attack ted, marco, please attack ted, chris, please attack ted, jeb, please attack jeb. [ booing ] let me just say this it is a debate, sir. Gosh, if you guys ask one more mean question, i may have to leave the stage. Well, dont worry, im not leaving the stage no matter what you ask me. Presence or nonpresence was felt even after the debate was over. Take a look at this photo i shot at almost midnight as i was leaving. These guys dressed as chickens with a milk carton with Donald Trumps name on it saying, missing person. Didnt the moderators have to be prepared just in case donald trump decided show up during the debate . Reporter well, remember, trumps event was just five minutes away from the debate hall so there was real uncertainty up until the last minute about whether or not he would come and make a dramatic appearance. Megyn kelly said she designed two question outlines, one with donald trump, one without donald trump and that she didnt know for sure that he wasnt coming until about 15 minutes before the debate finally got started. Robin. All right. Thank you, jon. Reports he had a few conversations over the course of the day to roger ailes, the head of fox news. As jon said, he was just a few minutes away, donald his own crowd along with Mike Huckabee a Rick Santorum who stopped by after the undercard debate. Tom llamas has all the details. Good morning, tom. Reporter george, good morning to you. As we just heard in jonathans piece, trump took a little fire and said he considered jumping on stage and even said fox was trying to convince him up to the last minute. The show must go on, and thursday night it did. I didnt want to be here, i have to be honest. I wanted to be about five minutes away. Reporter trump claiming fox news apologized to him, but it wasnt enough to reconsider. Fox has been extremely nice and the last number of hours actually. [ laughter ] and theyve wanted me there, and they said how about now . They called a few minutes ago. How about now, can you come over . I said, hasnt it already started . Reporter in a statement fox news saying on thursday chairman roger ailes had three brief today about possibly appearing at the debate and that trump offered to appear at the debate upon the condition that fox news contribute 5 million to his charities. We explained that was not possible, and we could not engage in a quid pro quo nor could any money change hands for any reason. We raised over 5 million in one day. Reporter trump still claiming victory. Telling his crowd they raised more than 5 million for veterans. Isnt that better than this debate thats going on while everyone is sleeping . Right . Theyre all sleeping. Reporter the gop frontrunner even wrangling Rick Santorum and Mike Huckabee who debated on the undercard stage to join him. And you respect trump for doing in event . Hes raising money for veterans. You know, his decision as to whether to go to the debate is a reporter and trumps followers, some who braved freezing conditions in iowa to monitor say it was the smart i thought it was a great idea. Donald trump has a choice to do you know, when these people dont play fairly, then why go. You know, lets go out and support the best. Reporter trump says he personally contributed 1 million to last nights benefit. He sent out this tweet last night saying an unbelievable night in iowa with our great veterans. We raised 6 million while the politicians talked. Trump says 22 veterans organizations will benefit from the money especially many in iowa. One group tells us the Trump Campaign called them yesterday saying, this will be better than winning the lottery. George. Lets talk about this more with matthew dowd, our political analyst and cecilia vega covering the hillary campaign. Okay, we cant know for sure what the 30,000 or 40,000 undecided voters in iowa think but you got to say at first blush it looks like trumps bet paid off. I absolutely think it did. And part of the reason it paid off is because him as the brash starting quarterback doesnt show up for backup quarterback fumbled the first few steps, which is ted cruz, and i think donald trump benefited by what happened on that stage. The response was pretty good. It was the second one that fell flat. In the course of that debate you had a better picture of ted cruz and i dont think that did well for him. Who did do well . I think the interesting thing about is others were adle to shine. I think rand paul who wasnt on the last stage did very well in the course bush had a pretty good night. I think jeb bush had a good night and marco rubio in the first hour of the debate had a good night but in the end donald trump didnt show and won. Meanwhile, cecilia vega, she wasnt on the stage either but Hillary Clinton came in for a lot of fire last night. She had a bunch of attacks. I think we have one of them ready to go. Her campaign tweeted this image of donald trump out last night, and with it, there you go, they say she says, trying not to throw my remote at the tv is what they were talking about. This plays into her narrative. Shes even gone to the point where she called Bernie Sanders my friend. Shes not talking about him as much on the campaign trail right now. Shes going above the fray and looking past iowa, i think, into this general pretty tight race in iowa right now but most of the polls show she has a slight lead and, youre right, shes moved into a different phase. Whats the plan for the final three days . Cautiously optimistic, she is bringing in the big guns. Well see her on the trail for the very First Time Since her announcement with bill and chelsea this week looking well past iowa. They know the race is tight and i do think they realize this could be a loss for them. Theyre not bracing for it yet, but ready if it happens. Whats the biggest unknown . I think the biggest unknown is turnout. We dont know. Everything about Bernie Sanders victory is dependent on new voters and everything about Donald Trumps victory is depend depth on new voters. If those show up it goes in two different directions. Thanks very much. Were going to have full coverage here at abc news this week on sunday morning, gma and world news both live in iowa and all the results live monday night and next saturday the Republican Debate at 8 00 a lot coming up. We turn to that other big story weve been following, the zika virus, boston reporting its first case of the disease. Now more than 30 cases detected here in the u. S. , and take a look at this map. You see the outbreak originating in south america and moving north. Abcs dr. Richard besser is at ground zero this morning in brazil to answer some important questions. Good morning, rich. Good morning, robin. You know, when you walk around the streets of rio, you dont get any sense that theres something going on here of such big health concern, but when you talk to pregnant women, you get a very different picture. We came to brazil, the center of the zika epidemic. The government here spraying the streets. We met fabiola, a physical therapist. She was already expecting when some said not to get pregnant. [ speaking a Foreign Language ] she tells me through a translator she knows zika is linked to babies with tiny heads her paychecks on insect repellant. The level of alarm is extremely high. Reporter the World Health Organization said its pulling together an Emergency Response committee saying the zika virus is, quote, spreading explosively. So far in the u. S. , there are more than 30 cases detected in 11 states and the district of columbia, all brought back from travel abroad. Zika is a relatively inconsequential virus for the general population, but if youre a pregnant woman who gets exposed, its a big deal. So, rich, if somebody comes back to the u. S. With that virus, is there potential that they could spread it to others . Thats a big concern, robin, because if someone is infected and comes back to the United States and is bit by a mosquito, that mosquito can bite other people and be infected, so if you come back and have any symptoms, you need to be seen and you definitely need to use repellant. And, rich, as you alluded to earlier, a lot of concern about pregnant women and wanting to know how long does the virus possibly affect future pregnancies . You know, there are a number of unanswered questions, but when they look at similar viruses similar to zika, they find that once a person has recovered and when their symptoms are gone, the virus is no longer in their body, so they dont think future pregnancies will be at any risk at all. But, rich, weve heard a report that there is a pregnant woman here in new york city with the virus. What precautions should she be taking . Well, you know, thankfully theres no mosquito activity in new york city at this time, so she shouldnt be putting other people at risk. But theyre going to monitor her developing baby to see if the baby has been affected, and once that baby is born theyll be doing hearing tests, vision tests to see if the baby was damaged. We dont know how big the risk is to that baby. We hope all goes well for mother and baby. Be safe coming back from brazil. For full coverage and the latest updates on the goodmorningamerica. Com on yahoo we move to that deadly shootout in oregon. The fbi released new video showing the roadside confrontation between antigovernment protesters and Law Enforcement that left one of the groups leaders dead and abcs Neal Karlinsky has the latest. Reporter youre looking at video of the dramatic traffic stop taken by an fbi surveillance plane. Investigators say that white truck is being driven by occupation spokesman lavoy finicum. As police stop the truck and another late tuesday afternoon, occupation leaders are taken into custody except finicum, who doesnt surrender, instead after nearly four minutes sitting in his truck flanked by police takes off again. You can see him speeding down the rural road where police have set up a roadblock. He eventually careens into a snowbank to miss them nearly hitting an fbi agent. Moments later he can be seen getting out with his hands raised, then critically reaching at least twice with his right hand towards a pocket on the left side of his jacket. We wont show the Moment Police fire, but thats when finicum is and killed. Investigators say a loaded 9 millimeter handgun was found inside the very pocket finicum appears to reach for. You know there are various versions of what happened, most of them inaccurate and some of them inflammatory. We want to give the public as much information as possible as to what happened that day. Reporter as for the standoff the count is now down to four. Just four armed protesters left inside. Negotiators are speaking with them and hope to wrap all of this up soon, robin. We all hope that. All right. Neal, thank you. Now to ethan couch, back on u. S. Soil this morning behind bars in texas after he dropped his fight to remain in mexico. He will be back in front of a judge today. Abcs matt gutman has the latest on the case. Reporter this morning ethan couch is waking up in his nightmare scenario, the Tarrant County jail. You know, i dont think anyone would be happy to be in the circumstance hes in. Reporter its a day the sheriffs been waiting for. Both of them are back. Reporter the millionaires son after nearly two months bundled back to texas by mexican officials thursday dropping his legal battle against deportation to the u. S. And then whisked away in this truck, the sheriff waiting to book him at the jail. What was he like . Meek and mild. He wasnt defiant. He didnt raise his voice. Reporter but the sheriff claims not repentant. His only mindset right now is how do i somehow get out of trouble and not be held accountable. Reporter in 2013 the 16yearold pleaded guilty to killing four people in a drunk driving wreck. The judge giving him only ten years probation, but police say he and his mother made off to mexico after this video surfaced allegedly showing him at a boozy party, raising questions of violating that probation. Couch will be in court today for his detention hearing, a judge deciding whether hell get bail, remain in this juvenile facility or he can be ordered to be taken taken to the adult jail. Reporter of course, all of this will be determined in the next couple of hours to much media fanfare but one person who wont be here is ethan couchs traveling buddy to mexico, his mother, tanya. She is still under house arrest, awaiting her trial for allegedly helping him escape to mexico. She faces up to ten years in prison if convicted. Robin. All right, matt, thanks for the latest on that. Amy has the mornings other top stories beginning with breaking news about another incident with iran. Thats right.

Paul kantner cofounded the psychedelic rock group Jefferson Airplane and was behind classics like white rabbit and somebody to love. Kantner died of multiple organ failure. He was 74 years old. And finally two suspected burglars have learned a valuable lesson. They should have measured first. Take a look at this picture. Its fairly priceless. There they tried to shove this giant safe into a small vehicle.

Coming up think twice before leaving your car to warm it up on a frigid morning thieves are targeting cars in the cold. See the caughtontape, next on well have more local News Headlines coming up in one half you want to make this a black thing . Well, im not black. Im o. J. Cuba gooding jr. Starring as o. J. Simpson in a new tv series. That one is about to come out and o. J. Making a lot of headlines again right now. A famous doctor featured in now saying o. J. s time on the football field may be linked to his bad behavior. That is dr. Bennet omalu. He does not hold back in his feelings. Also right now trump, as you know, a big noshow at the debate last night. And this morning, bill and Chelsea Clinton set to join hillary in iowa. The three appearing for the first time together on the campaign trail since hillary announced her campaign. And new concerns about the mosquitoborne virus, zika. This morning, more than 30 cases now reported in the u. S. And authorities revealing one person diagnosed in new york city is pregnant, and rich talked about that. Yeah, a lot of anxiety out there. And, lara, you got a new warning for car owners this morning. I do, indeed. You may think its a good idea in cold weather to warm up your the keys inside. A lot of us have done it. Dont. We will tell you why coming up. We begin this half hour, though, with that startling new theory about o. J. Simpson from the groundbreaking doctor he is convinced may have given him a brain abcs ryan smith is here with that story. Reporter good morning, robin. More polarizing than o. J. Simpson turning him from a football star into a pariah but dr. Bennet omalu thinks he has cte from thousands of hits on the football field and should serve as a cautionary tale. If it doesnt fit, you must acquit. Are you having a problem putting that on your hand . Reporter hes the most infamous Football Player in sports history acquitted of double murder, o. J. Simpsons trial for the brutal killings of Nicole Brown Simpson and ron goldman now inspiring the new tv series the people v. O. J. Simpson. You want to make this a black thing . Well, im not black. Im o. J. Reporter this morning 21 years after the socalled trial of the century, an intriguing new claim about the man at the o. J. Simpson is more likely than not suffering from cte. Reporter dr. Bennet omalu, the doctor responsible for discovering chronic traumatic encephalopathy or cte in nfl players from repeated blows to the head believes simpson is a victim of the disease. The truth. Reporter portrayed by will smith in the film concussion the world renowned forensic pathologist hasnt examined simpson personally, and cte with only be diagnosed after death, but dr. Omalu says he can identify the telltale signs of cte behavioral symptoms. Explosive impulsive behavior, impaired judgment, criminality, even mood disorders. Reporter but the strongest evidence o. J. May have cte, he says, his college and 11year pro playing careers. He was exposed to thousands of blows to his head. Reporter its an assertion simpson himself once reportedly of a legal strategy after his 2008 conviction for Armed Robbery and kidnapping in las vegas. Im sorry. Reporter according to espn during an appeal of his 33year maximum sentence, simpsons attorney reportedly filed a sworn statement that he suffered numerous blows to the head and or landed on my head violently while playing football. Though he never relied on that concussion defense for his appeal, a new trial was denied. While dr. Omalu stresses that cte doesnt excuse the criminal behavior that landed o. J. Behind bars, he does want the case to serve as a reminder of the lifealtering damage the sport can cause. Now, dr. Omalu claims he has yet to examine a retired player that doesnt have cte and that in his opinion athletes playing football to the pro level have a 90 to 100 of getting it. All the more reason he says to talk to kids or talk to parents exposed to all those hart hits on the football field, robin. Okay, ryan. Were going to look at the legal ramifications with dan abrams who covered both of the simpson trials very extensively. Ryan alluded to this. Could this have been anything he could have used in either of his cases . Not as a defense, per se, meaning he couldnt have said, look, ive got this and, therefore, im not guilty. He might have been able to argue, you should be able to give me a lesser sentence, because look at what ive been suffering called a mitigating factor in sentencing. But when it comes to guilty or not guilty, saying Something Like i have a brain disease isnt enough. Thats why we talk a lot about the insanity defense because the criminal law is so black and white in that regard. Do you think now not just pro players, were talking college players, high school players, that if they get in trouble with the law that they could use this defense . I think were actually going to see it a lot, particularly when it comes to sentencing, because youre going to see someone convicted of a crime, someone who is going to allege ton in high school or college, thats what led them to become more violent, et cetera, and, you know, well see if judges but, again, really important to distinguish between guilt and innocence where this wont be particularly useful and the sentencing phase where someone could say, i should get a reduced sentence because of what im suffering from. This is bringing a lot of attention to this, but not sure o. J. Is the right spokesperson. Want as the spokesperson for this, right . I mean, no one wants to sympathize with o. J. Simpson, so whether he has it or doesnt have it, its probably not going to be particularly useful for the cause. All right. Got it, thanks, dan. Thank you, guys. We turn to that new twist in the manhunt for those three inmates who escaped. A woman who teaches at the jail has been arrested in connection with that escape. Officials believe she provided them with the information they needed to make their break. Abcs Kayna Whitworth has the details. Reporter this morning the three violent criminals escape from this california jail sitting in her own cell. Investigators have made a significant arrest connected to the escape investigation. Reporter 44yearold Nooshafarin Ravaghi arrested thursday in section with the january 22nd escape of Hossein Nayeri, bac tien duong and jonathan tieu. The alleged mastermind behind the jailbreak, Hossein Nayeri reportedly taking one of her classes at the time. Officials now say she allegedly provided them with google maps and other information essential to their escape. Former fbi special agent in maps may have helped the three get to a specific address or provided a better understanding of the surrounding buildings and the jail roof. Of Outdoor Recreation time a week. And here at the Orange County central mens jail, thats done right here on the roof behind me. Ravaghi, one of ten people arrested in connection with the escape denies providing anything beyond the maps.

Back now with gma on the lookout and a winter warning for drivers, leaving your keys in a running car to warm it up might make you feel a little more comfortable when you get in it but not if you get outside and the car is gone altogether. Seems pretty obvious but cops say it does happen all too often. Abcs Clayton Sandell has the details. Ranch, colorado. Good morning to you, clayton. Reporter and good morning, lara. Yeah, it seems innocent. Right . Its a cold morning. You want to start your car up and warm it up but then maybe you go into the store and leave it running to grab a cup of coffee. It only takes a minute but police say thats exactly what car thieves are looking for. Watch these car thieves roll up on an idling car in denver and seeing its empty moments later steal it. This guy scouts a car, parks, approaches and then darts to open the door but its locked. The homeowner sees whats going on and scares the thief away. And here in this parking lot a thief casually walks then speeds up to get in a car. The owner comes out to try to stop him, but its too late. Cars left running to warm up on cold mornings, cops call them puffers, bad guys call them a golden opportunity, and Police Departments around the country are warning drivers to not leave their running cars unattended. Came out, started up the car. Reporter thats all it took to steal gregory carrolls car bad enough but the thieves also got away with the keys to his second car. Later that night they came back to steal that one too. Give me back my car. Reporter some people may not realize that in many states its illegal to leave a car idling with the keys inside and depending on your state and county, that could even mean in your own driveway but more people seem to be doing it. Nearly 45,000 cars stolen in 2014 had the keys in the ignition. We got people leaving the cars running everywhere. Reporter in lakewood, colorado, we hit the streets with Sergeant Dave hoover. Within minutes his officers spot dozens of puffers idling in 18 and stores. You know why im bothering you . No. The car was left running unattended while youre inside the store. You cant do that. Reporter this driver hit with a 57 ticket. I wanted to sit in a warm car on the way to work. Reporter not far away, rick boyers puffer car has just been stolen. Windows are frosty, go back inside, in there maybe four minutes, come outside. The car is gone. Reporter police say stolen puffers can cause a crime Ripple Effect beyond just the owners. Weve seen them used in driveby shooting cases, burglaries, we even had a series of Bank Robberies where they were stealing puffers as a way to get to and from the robbery scene. Reporter on a cold morning a little shivering is better than a lot of stealing. Thats what they made gloves for. Now, one police chief in colorado tells me if he could keep people from leaving puffers on the street, he could actually cut car theft in his city by 20 . Lara. Thats unbelievable. Seems so logical. Clayton, thank you so much. Its happening more and more. It is. And, amy, you were saying it happened to me in a parking garage. I pulled it, gave it to the attendant. Had my key in the car, he must have taken a break and, boom, the car is gone. Yep. So, be careful. Watch those puffer covers. The warning signs to look out for and when you should go see a doctor. And up next, Michael Phelps out of the pool making big moves at a basketball game. What he is saying about his dance of distraction. Oh, my. To the couple wondering what a good deal looks ke. No. Seriously . Well give it a 6 for composition. Scary. Wow, what about just putting a fair, no haggle price on the window . Not zany enough . Sometimes the best deals lets dance we have been showing you the video this morning of olympic Gold Medalist Michael Phelps showing his moves out of the pool and on the basketball court. Look. Its part of arizona states fabled curtain of distraction, so the opponent is at the free throw line and then, look, its Michael Phelps. He shows up. Hes really tan. Can i say that .

Now the woman who created the dish reveals her secret ingredients live right here on gma. So easy, simple and delicious yeah. Every single time. Everybody swears by it and its going all over the world right now. Thats coming up. The morning rundown from amy. All right, guys, the big story this morning, the trumpless Republican Debate. Seven top candidates were there just days before the highstakes Iowa Caucuses and while trump was not in the room, he was definitely on the others minds. I kind of miss donald trump. He was a little teddy bear to me. Im a maniac and everyone on this stage is stupid, fat and ugly. Now that weve gotten the donald trump portion out of the way [ laughter ] trump was nearby, though, holding a benefit for wounded veterans. Two cable chapels aired the trump event moment. Well, the mosquitoborne zika virus is spreading quickly. Boston now reporting its first case. At least 31 people in 11 states have been diagnosed and all of those cases were contracted outside the u. S. Zika is linked to a wave of birth defects in brazil where babies have small heads. Take a look at 4monthold ryder. His mom took his picture last month which showed that white glow in his eye. At first she thought it was a problem with the camera but turns out it was cancer. Ryder is now being treated right here in new york and thankfully is expected to be fine. Well, exactly ten years ago today our colleagues bob woodruff and cameraman doug vogt were badly injured in iraq. Bob spent 40 days in a coma then fought his way back from traumatic brain injury returning to tv more than a year later. We are happy to say that bob is working harder than ever reporting from around the world and covering issues affecting war veterans. And bob is also closely following prince harrys work with veterans. This morning the royal marked an important date. There are now just 100 days until the Invictus Games when hundreds of wounded troops and veterans will compete in olympicstyle events in orlando and those games will be seen on and finally if youre sick of your current job, but you cant afford to retire, consider panda hugging for pay. A Research Center in china like legitimately has openings for panda huggers. They offer salaries of up to 32,000 a year and factoring in the cost of living in china, that salary actually stretches much farther than it does in the u. S. There is a downside, though. No days off ever. Cuddling pandas is a full time job 365 days a year. They lost me on the no vacation part, guys. Oh, i was sold until that moment. Id do it for free. Did you see them . So cute. I think my daughter harper wants to join you. Hey, amy, thank you. Heres something you may be forgetting to tell your doctor, you dont remember things, and according to a newly published report in a cdc journal, that could be a big problem. Abc news senior medical contributor dr. Jennifer ashton is here with the details. So, tell us. Good morning, robin. Encourage viewers at home grab a pen and piece of paper a little brain, were going to have a little brain acrobatics. This study found three out of four adults over the age of 45 who complained of memory out of four adults, three out of four didnt bring that up with their doctor. The one who did, 50 of that group failed to then go on for followup treatment, assessment. One, onus on the doctors. We have to ask about memory issues and, two, patients cant be embarrassed to bring it up and then to follow up on sequential testing and assessment. You know, as we get older we joke about, oh, my memory. How much is that normal when you get a little bit older and when do you know maybe it isnt so incredible common question. So, again, heres some normal versus some warning signs. Take a look. Normal would be if you forget part of an experience, a warning sign would be if you forget the entire experience. Next one, normal occasionally we forget where we might park the warning sign, its not normal if you forget how to drive the car. Another one, forgetting events from the distant past, that happens to all of us, warning sign would be if you forget recent events entirely and, again, thats the whole event and if its recent and, lastly, if you forget a persons name but remember it later, thats normal. Warning sign, if you forget that person completely. Not good. Im glad how you put it up like that because it really lets you know, so you have a simple test. I want to caution this is not diagnostic of any kind of medical condition but its a way to assess the way we form shortterm memory. What do we do . Grab a pen and piece of paper. I want you to look at these 12 words. Take a look at them. Try to remember as many as you can. What we know is that memory occurs in basically three stages, we have to encode the information and consolidate the information and then we have to retrieve that information. Now were going to take that down. Give everyone a second. Try to write down as many of those words as you can. Are you doing it too, george . This is i hope everyone has had their coffee in games oh, no cheating, robin. I got in at 2 00 from l. A. Well put it up again. Okay, and take a look and see how you did. Oh, my gosh. George. George did really well. Youre on point this morning. Yeah, youre en fuego. , good for you. If you remembered five to nine, average shortterm memory. I am joking but i am very tired so im going to take that into account. Yes, absolutely. Whats the warning sign . George, my gosh. He had, what, seven. Seven. So average oh no one calls george average. Youre average in this sense. He is not average. So, what are your recommendations if you think there is something wrong . I think the key thing is speak to your doctor or health care provider. Whats new now is assessment called neurocognitive testing done by neuropsychologists, theyre all over the country usually covered by insurance and that can be really important. Thank you. Thank you. And its okay. I love that you called me average. When have you ever been jen will be taking your questions throughout the morning. You can tweet her drjashton or go to gmas facebook page.

No, i dont think that was right and theyre kind of alone in this. A lot of parents and kids think all these brandnew barbie, seven, three new body types, seven new complexions, a lot of positive reaction to the change. Rightfully so. And were going to now see from Abbie Boudreau what parents have to say. Heres Rappin Rockin barbie reporter the blond bombshell has graced store shelves for five decades. Now barbie is getting a mattel announcing thursday theyre adding three new body types, petite, tall and curvy. So we sat down with the real experts and their moms. Theres a lot of girl power at this table to talk about the iconic doll and her latest transformation. Seeing these changes, it really makes you think like, wow, im really beautiful. Reporter when you compare this barbie, the curvy barbie compared to the original barbie, which one would you choose . I choose this one. Really . Reporter dr. Stacy kaiser says this makes sense. Doll, they often seek out one that looks like them. Barbies available in a variety of shapes is going to be a good thing for the little girls. Its okay that we dont all look the same. Were all different and were all beautiful. Doesnt matter the shape or the size. Reporter and mattel agrees ability to evolve and grow with the times while staying true to her spirit is central to why barbie is the number one fashion doll in the world. But not everyone is on board. One barbie fan tweeting, im all for diversity and positive body image but thats not barbie then. Its a different doll. Barbie is more than a brand. Barbie is a character also. Reporter still, all the moms say theyre happy with the changes and would buy the new dolls for their daughters. I get people are complaining but its your choice. Pick one of these or pick the same one. Beauty comes in a lot of different packages, and its not just blond, its not just tall and thin. Reporter for good morning america, Abbie Boudreau, abc news, los angeles. Were all out here talking amongst ourselves and i said growing up as a child in mississippi it was odd to have a doll that didnt look like myself. I remember going, huh. I had a black doll. I dont know why how it able to expose but i think its important for kids to be able to identify with you know what also is so great about our kids generation, my daughter doesnt see color. Thats what i think having all these selections theres something for everybody out there. How about a guy doll in a suit. The ken doll. Making you feel whole, isnt it, george . I buy that, george. All right. Lets move on to another popular brand thats making headlines. Victorias secret is facing a big lawsuit this morning. A lingerie designer claiming the chain stole her design. Abcs Rebecca Jarvis has that story. Give them a great big kiss mwah reporter theyre some of the worlds most famous figures, the body of an angel. Here comes my guy reporter but one lingerie designer is suing the megachain for allegedly stealing her body of work. Jersey intimate Apparel Company zephyrs claims victorias secret is selling a knockoff version of her pushups. Its anatomically correct and creates lift and cleavage while maintaining a natural appearance underneath clothing. Shes saying what is in the store is just completely her idea, completely her design. Reporter mackinnon telling abc news, i have put a lot of time, work, energy and investment into my designs and unique ininvestigation and i just want to protect my intellectual property. In her complaint filed monday, mackinnon says she got the idea for the bra insert in january of 2008 after 20 mockup attempts. She then pitched her product to victorias secret telling the megachain she was applying for a patent but would give the company exclusive licensing rights if they came to an agreement. According to the complaint, mackinnon claims she sold tens of thousands of her inserts to the company from 2011 to 2012 until victorias secret decided to terminate their agreement and began making lower quality knockoffs. Classic david and goliath story where you have an entrepreneur and you have a large u. S. Conglomerate corporation. Reporter were joined now by rebecca and we also have shark tanks daymond john, hes in orlando on tour for his new book, the power of broke which, by the way, just hit the New York Times bestsellers list. Well deserved. Thank you. Daymond, we want to know what could debra have done to protect herself . She should have had a nondisclosure agreement when she goes and shops it to all these brands and that basically procures or saves the fact shes not going to be able to get knocked off because they signed an agreement and she should have walked in there with a provisional patent at least that holds her place for that patent for that bra for about a year until she comes out with the actual product. But because she didnt do that, what chances does she have at winning this . Very little because you know to sign an nda because they probably get, you know, pitched bras all the time. Probably have a staff of 200 theres going to be a pushup bra in the system, so they probably didnt want to sign that so she probably decided to what suggestions do you have . You have people that come on your show and have these great concepts, products and that and places and how do they protect themselves . First of all, they have to trademark the name and they have to trademark concept. If theres a design patent they have to also copyright the design patent and they should go out and get a provisional patent so it holds their place in line as they develop their product. They cant just walk into a big company like that and just say, hey, take a look at this. It could have been a designer in a whole other department that reviewed that bra two years later and said, oh, i came up with the idea. The head of the company may not even know. But is there some way you can go because i know so many people, they have these ideas, and they dont know where to go. Is there somewhere they can go . Attorney which i highly suggest but a ust United States trademark yeah, ustpo. Uspto. Yeah, uspto. Thats my dyslexia kicking in. Yeah, thats where you would go and that is the government site to show patents and trademarks. You could do that by yourself. Its uspto. Gov. They actually have a section so we think about the cost of doing these things, you hear a lawyer and think, thats going to cost me. Right. They actually have a part of their site where you can ask for pro bono help. That means free help from a free attorney that has been doing these things thats been looking at patents that knows exactly what you need to put into your patent in order for it to really have weight and teeth. Who pays for the attorneys . The government. Whatever happened to back in the days when we just went to the library and we figured out how to do it ourselves and save 20,000. Thats right. All right. Very important advice there. Daymond, thank you very much. Congratulations again and, rebecca, thank you. Lets head outside to rob now. Oh, somebody here doesnt belong. We have a bunch of sia supporters.

My daddys sister gave me a recipe in the early 1990s for a roast beef sandwich recipe. It was quite spicy but wonderful.

Were going to talk to him in just a moment, but first take a look at his remarkable journey. Jay williams seemingly had it all. Blessed with talent and a natural leader, the point guard had a storied career at duke. Williams drives to the hoop. Got it. Twice named allamerican. As good as it gets. Reporter leading his team to a national championship. Thats it. Reporter he was expected to be the next big thing in the nba. Picked second overall in the 2002 draft but after just one season with the Chicago Bulls a terrible accident, he crashed his motorcycle a street lamp fracturing his pelvis, tearing up his knee and was hospitalized for over three months. Still, just 21, williams nba career was over. Oh, but his life wasnt. And im here with former nba star and espn analyst jay williams, thank you for being here. Thanks for having me. I got to tell you ive been reading your book and i cannot put it down. It is remarkable, what youve been through and what youve accomplished but i want to go back to that eventful day. You didnt have on a helmet. Nope. You didnt have a license to ride a motorcycle and you literally wrapped your bike around this pole. I did. I was 21 years old. I was a baby, you know, and who doesnt make mistakes at 21 years old yet mine followed me for the rest of my life and i Miles Per Hour and the next thing you know, i was in the hospital for over 2 1 2 months. And your career was over. Yeah, pretty much at that given moment. I tried to come back and but i couldnt do it at the same level i was at, but my thing is accidents happen in life and i really think im better for it. You say in your book that that crash was not an accident. Well, ive been living my life so differently at that point and i saw guys who have been playing professional sports kiss their wives and go on planes and then live a different life and come back home and act like it never happened and, look, i found a way of you were headed down that road. For sure and i was into drugs at the time. I was into alcohol. I was partying a lot. It took all but a year for me to become a shell of myself. And i fought through it. Afterwards its like i truly believe that now the course im set on as a man is a lot better than it ever would have been in that position. You got so low though in those months of recovery you attempted suicide. I attempted suicide twice, the second time being the worst to go away. I got addicted to oxycontin and drink a lot and i woke up the next day and saw different people on tv and thought, wow, maybe tv could be my new passion. Just happened like that. How do you reinvent yourself going from nearly dying, nearly killing yourself to then all of a sudden saying, aha, i can have a great life . You know, it took a while. It didnt just happen automatically overnight. But i found a board. I had people that actually helped me to Higher Standards and surrounded myself by positivity. After that, my outlook is so different. You know, when i wake up in the morning and i take a shower, i know it sounds a little cheesy, but i couldnt take a shower by myself so its a different perspective on life. Grateful and thankful for all the little things. Every day. Youve had incredible people in your life. You write so lovingly about your parents. Coach k. Uhhuh. Had some great words of wisdom for you along the way. Like a second father to me. Look, the relationship isnt always rosy but i wouldnt have it any other way. Whats the most important thing he taught you . Probably to move on to the i used to turn the ball over all the time and i used to bring one negative play into the other and thats very much similar to life, right . My accident, i was able to get over it because i had to think what is the next play of my life and i cant bring all this depression into all the positive things coming to me. Whats your next big goal in life . Hopefully doing what you guys are doing. I see you and robin on air. George is killing it. I mean, hopefully that will be the next step one day. So tell me about where you are right now in your life. Like whats a day in the life of jay . A day in the life of jay is working Espn College Gameday and hang out with jesse palmer, one of the people you work with. The sock effect and having fun and enjoying it. I love hearing other peoples stories about how they persevered through adversity. I love hearing your story. It is a must read.

No, you know how funny it is, just found out moments ago that your new album is number one in over 50 countries, close to 60 countries. We just heard that moments ago. So thank you. That is so amazing. The concept of this album if you dont know, this is acting, is these are all songs youve written for other artists, youre a terrific writer and have written so many hits. These artists who didnt choose them. A couple of them i wrote and kept for myself and even one i took back actually because i liked it. Which one is that . Space between. Who was it supposed to be . Rihanna and i asked if she didnt mind and she didnt. Shes a cool gal. I love i was feeling it. I suddenly had like sellers remorse. I understand. I understand. I have that same problem with antiques. This is a little bit bigger and more important, but i lofve that idea of sort of recycling. These songs meant something to you. It feels like its a good experiment if im right because i felt like they were good songs but nobody was picking up on them, and i thought, well, i have this im in this luxury position where i can just experiment. I dont have to be successful because im already making money from all of their pop songs im writing, so i can afford to experiment with my own stuff. I think the experiment paid off. Yeah, nice work. Number one. And, again, we all you have such an iconic look. Why so important to shield your face . Oh, i mean its just its like ive been working around new york this whole time. I dont need a security detail. I dont need anything special. I just walk around, and i can do that, and thats a real luxury when youre in my industry. Yeah, no kidding. Yeah, so thats why. So, that wont change. This look isnt just a look for this year. Youre going to keep it that way. As long as it works. If it stops working then obviously im not just going to you need someone to hold your hand. Can you see . I was like, can i hold your hand . Im sure you have many volunteers. Will you please come back to gma . Congratulations. Thanks, again, the name of the album is this is acting and it is big. We thank you and we thank you guys.
