We have the phone call when he learned she was alive and the dramatic Family Reunion only on and we and we do say good morning, america, on this friday morning. And this 20 20 interview is something else. You will hear things that may change the way you think. Theyve been through so much. That incredible moment when the kids got to see their mom for the first time. Keith papini is really opening up. News . President elect. President elect trump. Thats right. Back on the campaign trail for what hes calling a thank you tour. Kellyanne conway standing by. Well hear from her in a moment. But first lets get to tom llamas in cincinnati where the president elect made that surprise announcement about his choice for defense secretary. Good morning, tom. Reporter a major announcement, indeed, good morning, robin. Three weeks pent up in trump tower and last night president elect trump unleashed. This event in cincinnati just ke impulsive and unscripted at times and trump even going after his enemies including Hillary Clinton. Trump seeming to overshadow the big news he helped save jobs at that carrier plant to deliver a raucous rally. Overnight president elect donald trump back in his element, taking his postelection show on the road for a thank you tour. Im here today for one main reason, to say thank you to election said it was a time to come together as a country back in battle mode. Although we did have a lot of fun fighting hillary, didnt we . Reporter his supporters erupt into a chant of lock her up then just like he did during the campaign. Very dishonest im. Reporter trump going after the media. I love this stuff. Should i go on with this just a little bit longer . Reporter and defending some of his wall street cabinet pi commerce. Well, thats because this guy knows how to make money, folks. Reporter the president elect surprising the crowd and even his own staff with an impromptu announcement. We are going to appoint mad dog mattis as our secretary of defense. Defense. Mad dog. Hes great. Being relentless and outspoken. Mattis led a Marine Division during the invasion of iraq and headed the United States Central Command from 2010 to 2013. He earned his nicknames mad dog and the warrior monk for his attention to military tactic answer strategy. They say hes the closest thing to again George Patton that we have and its about time. Its about time. Reporter as for come soon. The president elect saying this about mitt romney, his onetime foe now a contender for the job. We got along very well. He was very, very nice, very nice in terms of his remarks afterwards and i think it was very good. We have some terrific people and terrific people to come. Reporter now we do want to mention general mattis likely will be confirmed but it is not a done deal because the defense secretary has to be out of the and, george, already some democrats are saying theyre going to block the congressional waiver he needs to be approved. Yeah, theyre saying theyre not going to vote for it. To that clash between trump and clinton aides. It happened at harvard where Campaign Teams meet to go over the race, usually its pretty civil. Last night heated and personal. The feelings clearly raw. Take a look. I would rather lose than win the way you guys did. No, you wouldnt. Yes. No, you wouldnt. Yes, no you wouldnt respectfully. Do you think i ran a campaign where White Supremacists had a platforming. It did. Do you think you could have had a decent message for the White Working Class voters . You think this woman who has nothing in common with anybody im not saying thats why you won but thats the kind of campaign that was run. How about, its Hillary Clinton. She doesnt connect with people. How about they have nothing in common. I would just say hillary did win the popular vote. He was the better candidate. Lets have the debate. Lets not. Excuse me. 2. 5 million americans thought she was the better candidate. Were going to keep talking about the popular if you wanda go back i just want to go back to the 270 or the 306 that we won because thats how you won the presidency and we did it. Kellyanne conway, it did get heated last night. Thank you for joining us this morning. Now, its unlikely youll ever win over clinton aides but how about her voters. President elect trump lost the popular vote. How does president elect trump reach out to that majority of voters who did not support him . George, he keeps doing what he said he promised to do on Election Night which is be the president of all americans including those who did not vote for him and already reaching out to people in many different ways. Look, i understand it was a Bruising Campaign. I understand the clinton team and most people in america never even thought about the possibility that the other candidate, donald trump, might 50 states and won 2600 counties and turned 200 counties that president obama had carried over to the donald trump column. That doesnt happen because of a gym comey letter or doesnt happen because of media coverage. It happens when you have a message that connects with americans and you saw that message on display yesterday in indianapolis. Donald trump before hes even inaugurated made good on the promise to keep american jobs in america. People want these kinds of results. And i just you know, that people cant get past the grief, denial and anger stage and into the acceptance stages defies what secretary clinton and president obama i want to talk about this is our president elect. I want to talk about that carrier deal. You talk about the Bruising Campaign and seemed to continue in cincinnati. You had that crowd chanting lock her up, lock her up. Although we did have a lot thats the way they feel and there were the officials who are in charge of such things in the look at that again, but donald trump made very clear last week as the president elect that hes moved on from that. That hes focused on more focused on health care, immigration, bringing jobs back to america. Youre suggesting now that the Trump Administration may actually pursue prosecution . No, im not suggesting that at all. That would something i would not be able to say but reminding what he said last week, hes moving on to focus on the future, not the past and he the record he thinks that the clintons have suffered enough. Of course, the department of justice, the different committee, fbi perhaps can take a different look but nobody expects and nobody is talking about that right now. I think yesterday was just a great day for him to say thank you to 18,000 people at a rally in cincinnati. Thank you to carrier for working with this wouldbe administration and keeping these 1,000 jobs here in america. Thats what people want and journal usually an ally of republican president s had an editorial saying called trumps carrier shakedown his carrier shakedown they wrote is a shortterm political victory that will hurt workers and the economy if it becomes the norm for the next four years. Are you worried about that . We dont look at this as a political victory. We dont look at this as political at all but a victory for the worker at carrier. You know, donald trump gave voice to his ability to the forgotten man and forgotten woman. He made an example of c perhaps could work with his Incoming Administration to keep these jobs here. This is the way this is the way things should work where you have private companies and the administration, frankly, working together to find a solution. This has been peoples frustration with washington for decades is that youre not forced to solve anything. Youre just forced to talk about it. You saw on display the way things will work in a trump pence administration. The usa is open for business. President trump on twitter. He sent out the tweet saying he would have won the popular vote if millions of illegal voters are not voted. That claim is groundless. Isnt it irresponsible for a president elect to make false statements like that . I think its groundless for talk about fake news. The fake news is that somehow the popular vote is more important than the Electoral College vote now. I watched abc and other networks religiously, george. All i saw was road to 270. I never heard road to no one is questioning no one is questioning the victory. I said is it proipt, is it responsible for a president elect to make false statements like that. Well, first many people are questioning the victory. You got people spending millions of dollars wasting money and time in the clinton and stein camp in wisconsin, michigan, tried in pennsylvania to recount. Not everybody has, quote, accepted the Election Results but to your question, the president elect has been talking to different people including number of illegal votes that may have been cast and i believe that he bases his information on that. There is no evidence that there were millions of illegal votes. Zero. Theres also no evidence that a recount is going to change the results in wisconsin, michigan and pennsylvania, but we, the victors, continue to be were the only people asked about the Election Results and about who voted and who didnt vote but this whole discussion about the popular vote is its, frankly, you are know, its fr cant accept the Election Results as to why the Election Results where the people have spoken and given donald trump well over 270 electoral vote, 306 including michigan, wisconsin and pennsylvania that republicans have not won in decades, theyre just trying to theyre trying to deny him his rightful victory and i think those who wont accept the Election Results and are engineering this Million Dollar waste of money, millions of dollars waste of money in these states recounting the vote should be asked the question why president elect to form his government the way president obama and secretary clinton have suggested they would like to do. Is that statement by president elect trump true . Im sorry . Is that statement by president elect trump true . Well, hes been receiving information about the irregularities and about the illegal votes, particularly from sources, officials like kris kobach as i mentioned, but he is to the rest. The country the way he feels. Just the way the clinton team is pretending that the scapegoat in this election is jim comey. Pretending that a lack of an economic message for those who feel that their jobs are being threatened is sufficient, a lack of a message that really gave a visionary uplifting aspirational way of looking at things in those closing days and Hillary Clintons message was all were just asked about Donald Trumps tweets and were just asked about Different Things that he says on the trail. There is no trail anymore. Hes the president elect. And i think what people will see is strong leadership in nominating mad dog mattis for secretary of defense. I think theyll see strong leadership in keeping those jobs in indianapolis. These are the results america wanted. Kellyanne conway, thanks for coming on and answering questions this morning. Thank you. All right, george. We move on to that new warning about another storm heading for the south as the region recovers from those das and fires. Rob, i know youre tracking it all.

Reporter but this morning 28yearold joe mcknight is dead, authorities believe the victim of a road rage incident in new orleans. The shooting reported just before 3 00 p. M. Thursday. A witness saying she saw two men arguing before mcanything was shot. That man just shot that man.

First we begin with that abc news exclusive, the husband of the california mom who went missing for three week, shes now safely home but the search abcs matt gutman was the first to sit down with her husband. Reporter what was perhaps most jarring about keith papinis description of sherris captivity was the inhuman conditions, almost no food, cold and she was shackled and hooded almost all of the time, cursed and kicked and then as mysteriously as she disappeared, she reappeared thanksgiving morning. My home phone rang. I pick it up. And it was a and it was a very mixed emotion, it was my wife screaming in the background yelling my name. Reporter it was the first time keith papini had heard his wife sherris voice since she disappeared three weeks earlier. And a chp officer, he said i need you to be calm. I need you to be calm. Hes talking to sherri. Reporter his wife calling from the cell phone of a Police Officer after she had been let out on the side of the road by her captors 150 miles from home, a chain around her waist, a bag over her head. So then i get the phone and, oh, my god, honey, of course, she shes creaming, its very emotional and i love you, i love you. Oh, my god. Youre here, youre back. Where are you . And then the phone gets like taken away from her like super quick. Reporter he heard her voice beloved. Finding her in the hospital with bruises to her face, her long blond hair chopped off. A message branded into her skin. Authorities now working feverishly to piece together the clues of what happened to sherri. She related that both of the subjects spoke in spanish the majority of the time of her captivity. Reporter the sheriff describing her abduction in excruciating detail. She was held against her will sherris head was covered. I will confirm that the suspects did brand her. Reporter my sense is if you combine all of the things going on with sherri of human branding, starvation, being brutalized or maybe even tortured, shackled, eyes covered is that you really are throwing all of the variables you would use to break somebody destroy their previous identity and get them to your way of thinking, whatever that might be. Reporter but she wasnt destroyed. Instead she has reunited with her family, keith remembering the moment he got to tell his son that sherri was coming home. And i sat him down and i was on my knees. He was standing up and i said, you know, you know what, buddy, i found mom. And he got the biggest grin and is she . Sherris now focused on recovery spending every wake moment with keith and those kids but in her mind she also never left them. Keith told me in captivity sherri found a patch of cloth and that she cradled it as if it were her daughter violet and keith says thats one of the things that kept her going psychologically throughout that entire ordeal. But physically can you continue to tell us how shes doing. Shes doing better now but she was pretty banged up. Weve seen pictures of it was almost unrecognizable. A family friend who hugged her after the ordeal said that he could basically wrap his arms around her twice. She was so thin, she lost about 15 of her body weight down to 87 pounds so she was banged up. Yes, weve heard over and over again about the branding and the message. Did they tell you at all what that message was that was branded on her. Keith refused to talk about what happened. He said there were multiple burns on her body. We dont know what they were or if there was a message on them but certainly it seems cruel almost beyond comprehension. Where does the investigation tan now. She didnt see them. She says she saw basically only their eyes so investigators dont have much to go on. Theyre thinking of doing a composite sketch of her but theyre also trying to rely on her other senses. Did she hear something nearby, a train, church bells, traffic. Did she feel something . What was the room like, anything to get a clue to get them somewhere. You spent a lot of time with keith. You know, there are a lot of peopleha so public with all this . I think they needed to clear their name. There were so many conspiracies out there about keith being involved, about sherri somehow disappearing herself. About all of this being a hoax. They wanted to come to us, tell their story and for it to be out there and public. But one of the most one of the things that truly stunned me how compelling keith was. He was so candid. So honest and one of the things youll see tonight on this 20 20 is his description of but joyous also. Glad theyre reunited. Great job. I know you have so much more youre going to share with that exclusive interview with him on a special edition of 20 20 thats tonight at 10 00 p. M. Eastern on abc. Thank you, matt. Very well done. Well move on. Today marks the First Anniversary of that here risk terrorist attack in San Bernardino that left 14 dead, 22 seriously injured and this morning many victims are still fighting for needed treatments, one of the big questions, who should pay. Our chief investigative good morning, brian. Good morning, george. The murderous rampage of that terrorist subpoena syed farook and Tashfeen Malik forever changed the lives of so many in San Bernardino and many of the survivors are telling abc news theyre going through a second trauma, a betrayal being refused treatment and therapy for their wounds both physical and mental. Amanda was the partner of the shooter, syed farook at the san department. We have an active shooter. We need an entry treatment now. Reporter he did not spare her in the attack. Rescuers found her shot twice in the leg having lost half her blood. She tells me where she had been shot, she tells me that shes going to die and not to let her die. I was begging, please help me. Please help me. I looked down at her and said youre not going to die today. Reporter amanda lived but today one year later she is still in pain. Told by the county claims administrator she says that a needs were too expensive under california workmans compensation guidelines. I was shocked and i need a surgery. Surgery. Reporter they wont pay. They do not want to pay for it. Reporter without that are you in pain. Yes, im in pain every single day. Reporter she is not the only one of the county employees in the room that day who say they are not getting what they need. My medications got denied. Like just cut off in october. Everybody medication, therapy and surgeries. Reporter first betrayed by a fellow worker, the survivors say they are being betrayed again. We are survivors of a terrorist attack and we are being betrayed by our employer, the county of San Bernardino. Reporter the county says it is now going to bring in a new outside set of claims adjusters to review the cases of those employees involved in the attack and in the case of amanda, she says after she went public and told the county t just yesterday the county agreed to deal with her hospital and let her surgery finally go ahead. The spotlight makes a big difference. Thank you, brian. To michael. George, coming up on our big board, the Holiday Shopping clock is ticking, everybody.

A good that comes in 20 flavors from whole natural to wasabi and soy sauce. And once good gets going, theres no stopping it. Get your good going. Blue diamond almonds. Well break down the mornings top story, dan abrams is here to lead us off and well lead off with Dalia Dippolito called the black dalia after she was talking about murder for hire and it is heading back to court for a retrial. Real concerns she will get a fair day in court and lets take a look at the tape where she appears to pay an undercover Police Officer to murder her husband. He gets two in the back of his he had, youre not goi your mind. Im positive like 5,000 sure. Im a lot tougher than i look. Pretty powerful. Convicted in that first trial but it was overturned. Based on the jury being tainted. During the jury Selection Process in the first case, one of the jurors prospective sdwrors said something about her trying to poison her husband. The rest of the people who were sitting in the room heard it. Many so of them ended up on the jury. Unfair to allow them to serve on the jury considering they heard that. Now theyre having additional jury problems. This time theyre trying to interview the jurors one by one, right, so they dont have that same problem. No big room, no big group. One by one. Well, it turns out this time there was a door open apparently in the courtroom so all the people waiting in the hallway, the prospective jurors it turns out could hear some of what was happening in the courtroom and one of theprospective jurs goodness, we need to start this process again so its been delayed to prevent the exact sort of problem that happened the first time. Just close the door. Thats what they did. The first thing they did is close the door. Assuming they can pick a jury for the trial what is her defense . I think its going to be a little different in the sense that she may testify this time. She didnt testify in the first case and i think shes going to have to testify this time around. Shes doing two thing, number one shes saying she was set up by the police and number two she reality show. I didnt really mean what i said. When you see my reaction, when you hear me saying those things, that was all just a show. I was just putting it on. Its not a reality show. And its a tough, tough defense and thats why i hi shes got to take the tan this time around. All right. Reality show, huh . Quite a defense. I never heard that before. Well change gears and go from that to the christmas countdown clock is ticking, everybody. If you deals on black friday and cyber monday, dont worry, becky worley has hidden holiday bargains for shoppers out there. Becky, 23 days left till christmas. Im one of those shoppers.

President elect trump making a major announcement during the kickoff of his thank you tour here in cincinnati last night. In front of a very raucous crowd that at times starting chanting lock her up in regards to Hillary Clinton, president elect trump surprising those in the crowd and even some in his own jim mattis to be his department of defense second. Mad dog mattis as some have called him is known to be relentless and outspoken. Heres how president elect trump described him. Hes the closest thing to general George Patton that we have and its about time. Reporter president elect trump also working on other selections to his cabinet including the post of secretary of state. Now, last night he was asked about mitt romney and some of the bad blood that between trump and romney during the primaries, president elect trump saying this. We get along very well. He was very, very nice in terms of his remarks afterwards and i think it was very good. Expect to see much more of the president elect out across the country as he continues his thank you tour over the next several weeks. Amy. All right, tom, thank you.

They traded accusations during a postelection forum and earlier on gma trumps Senior Adviser Kellyanne Conway told george it is time for everyone to move forward.

Reads this tweet that i just posted. Welcome back to gma and that is Sherry Papini and her family. Earlier we heard what sherri went through while held captive for 22 days and her family is looking ahead to a long road to recovery. We spoke with Elizabeth Smart, a kidnapping survivor about the case and how to heal. Abcs paula faris is here with more and good morning, paula. Good morning to you, michael. Elizabeth smart is now 29 years old. She is married and shes an advocate for victims of abuse. She says that Sherry Papini will probably never go back to normal new normal. Its the case that has america talking. 34yearold Sherri Papini found thanksgiving morning by the side of the road after being kidnapped and stormed for thee week. Sherri did receive injuries over this threeweek period in which she was abducted and held captive. Reporter her husband exclusively telling abc news she had a metal sorry, a chain around her waist, that is correct, a bag over her head. Reporter he talked about the moment he mom was coming home. You know, you know what, buddy, i found mom. And reporter its an astonishing and emotional story, one that Elizabeth Smart can identify with. She was just 14 years old when she was abducted and held captive for nine months. She asked her what it must be like for Sherri Papini right now. Its really important for people to realize that when a survivor comes back, whatever reporter elizabeth telling us overnight what kept her going during her own ordeal. I found my one thing that i could hold on to no matter what that my captors couldnt take away from me or change that was my family and i would imagine that the same would be true for sherri. I would imagine that she held on to them. She survived for them. Reporter longtime victims advocate john walsh weighing in on the case and the road to recovery. Mindbreaking experience. People have to be patient. Patient with these victims because theyve been through hell. I would suggest to sherri to focus on herself, focus on her family, focus on healing. You never go back to normal. You have to find a new normal. Its all about finding that new normal for sherri but elizabeth is encouraging sher remember that the best punishment a victim can ever give is to take their life back only allows the perpetrator to steal for innocence thats been taken. Shell probably have feelings of anger. Its okay to be mad but you just cant lose hope and knows the family, probably her kids that got her through the ordeal and itll be her family and kids that will get her through the next couple of steps. I know all of them are happy shes home. So happy for her two young sons. Thank you, paula. Can you see much more of Sherri Papinis story including our exclus 20 20 tonight at 10 00 p. M.

I have been looking forward to sharing this with you. Biggest moments in sports history when she took down bobby that was more than 40 years ago waging another battle. Not on the tennis court, in the boardroom. I recently sat down with my good friend billie and marc benioff, the ceo of sales force to talk about how theyre working together to fight for equality. Billie jean king is phone for her legendary matches on the tennis court but shes also a passionate human rights activist. I felt like walked on a tightrope trying to be good to people, kind to people but also to give them a way to start advancing equality. It is so difficult. Reporter which is why in 2014 she started the Billie Jean King Leadership Initiative to create equality in the workplace. We need more women and more africanamerican ceos and the Lgbt Community is important to self. Important to listen to the ceos. Reporter one ceo in particular is making a difference. Marc benioff, a philanthropist and leader of the groundbreaking company salesforce, one of the Fastest Growing Technology Companies in the world. Billie is one of my heroes. I mean ive loved her forever and her fight for equality is a fight that we share at salesforce. I strongly believe that ceos today need to fight for their employees, for their equality. As a that without bold leadership, be bold, positive change wont happen. Reporter at billies leadership symposium marc received the inspiring leader award, one of the nights highest honors. We have to fight for all equality for one simple reason. I the path to our own happiness. Its our own elevation. Its our own elation. Its our own enjoyment of our life all comes through equality. Reporter marc made headlines book, saw there was a difference in what he was paying men and women and fixed it overnight. With one button a ceo can push that button and make a change and thats the easiest change you can make and say, yes, equality for all. We pay women and men the same and thats really what were standing for and thats just one of many parts of our foundation of equality. Seeing how he looked at the data, he made equal pay for equal work, you know, he brought the women up to huge. That sends a such a strong message to the world and to the people that want to go to work. Together this dynamic duo is moving the fight for equality forward and paving the way for future leaders from all walks of life. This is about what you and me and you can do to make the world better and whether its Public Schools or pay equity or volunteerism for your favorite all of us to do one thing and if we can do one thing i know the world will be better. Dont always dream. You still have to do it. Dream big but then you do it. You cant just keep dreaming your whole life. I know some dreamers that theyve drept their whole life and they havent done anything either so youve got to make some goals and keep trying. Yeah. Good point. A great point. I know but every time im around billie shes a dear friend. Youre just energized but what marc did was open the book, simple to see what you equal work so hes challenged other ceos to do that. You know that tennis match battle of the sexes was 1973. Yes. Its being made to a movie. Emma stone playing billie and steve carell. Check out the resemblance. A picture that billie tweeted. Lets go lets go upstairs to lara. The one, the only john legend. We love him so. Surprise. Whats the name of the album . Live, from the station taking action for you, this is abc action news.

She does it for weddings. We are right now. Using the power of puns to break into the wedding hashtag business. And ive never heard of a wedding hashtag. Mariel whackum and customized sr hashtags for weddings. Dubbed the best or worst idea shes ever had but judging by her hashtag skills we think she is brilliant. She was doing it for some of her friends because she just had a way with words for their weldings. After 20 she said theres a little bit theres a business here. People pay her to do this. Like, for example, john legend plus Chrissy Teigen, hher hashtag is the man, the miss, the legends. The legends. [ applause ] supply feel like she should be George Stephanopoulos and ali, ali went greek in the knees. The these are like mouthfuls. They are. You can see them.

Anybody . Am i doing topic two too. Lets talk to john legend. [ cheers and applause ] john, when last you were here you said about the new music its the best of your career and the reviews say the same thing that this is your best work. This is your moment. I feel good. I feel good about it. The thing is you cant believe the artist w its their best work because every artist thinks their current album is their best album because they just spent all this time working on it but a lot of my friends and people around me feel like we put something really special into this album and im just excited for people to finally hear it. The hardest part is just keeping it contained when youre finished, when you master it and are like, oh, and its got to go through all this marketing and wait months for it to come out. What was different about it for you. I think just growing up and years and having a baby and all those other things forms your perspective and makes you look at the world more differently and helped me write songs and help me be inspired to write better music. It is reflected in your music and as lara was alluding to we follow you on instagram and other places and that beautiful birthday that your wife had recently. How you we had a nice time in mexico. Just the two of us in cabo and spent three days there and, you know, we have a lot of work do and i have an album to promote but wanted to spend a few days just relaxing. This is your first christmas with luna. Yes, it is. Yes. But, chrissy, she said [ applause ] yes, congrats. Nothing like it. But chrissy says she gets you the same thing every year for christmas. She gets me a bag every year because im like a simple guy like i travel all the time and i like have a nice bag to put my computer in and my stuff and so be really exciting of the its the first time at our new house. Weve never had our own christmas at home. We usually travel somewhere, go to some family members house or go on vacation and this is our first time actually having a tree at home in our own place and we have a new baby. Starting your family tradition. Yes, exactly. Excited about your movie la la land. Yes. I mean, people [ cheers and applause ] awesome. You want to see a little bit of la la land . Here it is. You playing to 90yearolds at the lighthouse, where are the kids . Where are the young people . Youre so obsessed with kenny clark and thelonious monk. These guys were revolutionaries. How are you going to be a revolutionary if youre such a traditionalist . Youre holding on to the past but jazz is about the future. You l you learned how to play the guitar for this. Oh, sort of. I didnt really learn all the way. I just learned enough to where i could look like i was playing the guitar pretty well. How would you rate gosling on the piano in he was magnificent. He had to learn a lot more than i did because his character revolves around him playing the piano and hes like a serious jazz pianist and he had to look the part and spent a lot of time working on it and i was kind of jealous about how fast he i was playing since i was 4. Its not fair. But hes so good at preparing for these roles and hes so focused and, man, i just feel lucky to be in a cast with emma stone and ryan gosling, incredible. [ applause ] were lucky because everybody here is excited. Your album darkness and light drops today. Comes out today. Yes, right now. I have a question for our audience. Who is a huge fan of the hit song love me now by john a lot of screa a lot of screaming people. So, you are dressed up nice, why do you love the song so much . Well, i cant say it nearly as good as john did over there, but just, you know, were my girlfriend and i were talking about it before we came here, just i just want to love her right now with all i got and everything i have and so just, you know, whatever happens l give her everything i have. You know the amazing thing its your first time in new york, right . You want to do something for her. I did. Well help you out with that. All right. I need you whats your name. Adrienne. Take a look over there. And ill let you take it away. You know, youve been my rock just my everything to me. I love you with everything i got. Will you marry me . [ cheers and applause ] there you g there you go. And you both served in the military and thats where you met. Just me. But youve been in we just want to say were so happy for you, congratulations to both of you. Are you surprised . Shocked. Yes, yeah. Enjoy your trip in new york. Congratulations. We expect to have a hashtag for both of you and be invited to the wedding. How about that. Absolutely. Thank you so much. I really appreciate it. Congratulations. I cant wait to talk about this when we go off camera. Everybody stay right there. Well be right back. All right. Believe. You believe. And you can help bring joy to children with lifethreatening medical conditions by dropping a letter off at your local macys or submitting one online. That is t that is the latest out here in times square, george, back inside to you. Thank you, rob. Lets look ahead now because we are here with Nicole Hockley. Four years ago this month she lost her 6yearold son dylan in the sandy hook shooting and now on a mission to prevent that kind of violence and shes founding the Sandy Hook Promise that just produced a new psa to recognize the warning signs that could trigger violence. They are easy to miss. Watch this closely. See if you can catch then. It includes a moment that may children. Take a look. . . He was never sure just how long he would last . . But theres not much love in a lonely room today is the day that johnny met june . Have have a good summer. He must be bored. This is the guy that i was writing to in the library. Yeah, guilty. My god. So you like to write on desks. Yeah. And Nicole Hockley joins us now. We saw that image right at the end but there was so much else going on in that psa. I could barely pick the stuff up. Tell me what we missed. Some of the signs we missed in that video were the background studying a weapons magazine which is a sign. We also saw the student being bullied in the hallway which is another warning signal and finally we saw the student studying other shootings and how to use these firearms. These are the signs that could easily be overlooked by parent, by teachers, what should parents be looking for . Parents should be looking for any sort of extreme changes in their children, so this could be over a minor incident. It could be an extreme behavioral or antisocial behavior or excessive isolation and chronic bullying. These are all signs and signals and, of course, any overt threat, someone who is writing something or showing a picture of violence. Without the overt threats, i mean, sometimes these behaviors can be triggered by other things as well but those are the kind of flags that go up. What should parents do when they happen. Parents should take it seriously and get help immediately. Dont ignore these signs and signals, get your child help. Talk to the school. Talk to local law enforcement. Talk to a Mental Health professional but dont just think its going to go away. If youre concerned about a behavior youre seeing, get help. Gets a little trickier when its someone elses child. Yes. What can you do . You have to talk to that other parent. It is absolutely and critically important that parents talk to each other. If youre seeing signs and listen to that from you, then go seek help elsewhere but dont be that person that walks away and thinking, someone else will take care of it or someone else will do something. Do something yourself because if you dont take action, it could lead to tragic consequences. You have been doing so much to honor the memory of your son dylan. What do you hope comes out of this. I want parents to know that gun violence and violence is preventible when you know the signs. This isnt something that we away from. Its something that we need to be up standards about and take action on because these are action that is can save thousands of lives. My sons death was preventable. Other deaths are preventable as well. Thank you for being on this mission. Thank you, george. See the full psa at goodmorningamerica. Com on yahoo now upstairs to lara.
