Hundred homes in oklahoma. This pickup spinning out of control on the highway. And now a new round of severe storms taking aim at the midwest. Good morning, america. A very busy wednesday. Well get to those tornadoes in just a moment. But first that report about the president and james comey. Robin, we have had a week of stunning stories from the white house. This is the motion serious one yet. What weve learned in the last 24 hours means that the course of trumps presidency will turn on his coming public showdown with james comey. The big question, did President Trump try to block the fbis russia investigation, commit an impeachment offense . We know he made contemptuous notes with the president , that dinner in january when the president reportedly asked him if he was under investigation. Requested a pledge of personal after asking his Vice President and attorney general to leave the room brought up the fbi investigation of his fired National Security adviser Michael Flynn. I hope you can let this go is what the notes say. Those seven words could be trumps smoking gun. Comeys notes, the modern equivalent of nixons tapes. Congress will get them. Comey will testify. Whether trump holds the white house will depend on how comey describes those notes, who congress believes, how the country responds. Less than four months into the Trump Presidency we are watching in the words of republican senator john mccain a watergate size crisis play out in realtime. And this morning our team is staked out across the capitol with the latest. Cecilia vega starts us off. Good morning. Reporter good morning to you. Another day, another bombshell here at the white house. This one has members of the president s own party sounding the alarms. This morning, the white house in crisis after another searing president of trying to interfere with a federal investigation. Abc news confirming that shortly after an oval office visit in february, former fbi director james comey wrote a memo saying that during that meeting, President Trump asked him to shut down his investigation into National Security adviser Michael Flynn. A source close to comey tells abc news that meeting happened the day after flynn was fired and that the president allegedly said of flynn, he is a good guy, i hope you can let this go. Abc has not seen the memo first reported by the New York Times and described to reporters by sources who have seen it. It was allegedly part of a paper trail comey left behind to document his meetings with the president. But the white house is pushing back saying the president has never asked mr. Comey or anyone else to end any investigation. Adding, this is not a truthful or accurate portrayal of the the reaction immediate. Democrats sounding the alarm. Face the possibility of being charged with obstruction of justice. Reporter republicans like john mccain reportedly saying the allegation before the president is, quote, of water size and scale. Other members of the president s party also calling on comey to testify. I dont want to read a memo. I want to hear from him. So you want him to testify publicly. Yes. Have you invited him . I just did. Reporter this explosive report breaking as the white house was deep in damage control on that other bombshell, the Oval Office Meeting where the president is accused of sharing highly classified information with Russian Diplomats potentially jeopardizing a crucial intelligence source. I wanted to make clear to everybody that the president in no way compromised any sources or methods in the course of this conversation. Reporter National Security adviser h. R. Mcmaster there delivering the latest line of but you heard those republicans there in that piece, all eyes on them for their reaction to this latest fallout. The Republican HouseOversight Committee chairman is now demanding that the fbi release to his committee, robin, all documents related to these conversations between comey and the president. All right, cecilia, we continue now with our senior justice correspondent pierre thomas. You have confirmed that comey did, indeed, write this memo. What else are you learning this morning . Reporter robin, good morning. I confirmed this memo with a source who said he saw it and vouches for james comeys integrity. The source says comey documented trump allegedly urging him to go easy on flynn and did so more than once in the conversation. You heard those quotes. Trump allegedly saying i hope you can let this go. I hope you can see your way clear to letting this go, to seeing flynn go. I hope you can let it go. According to the source comey noted that he was a good guy. Wt reporter ive been struck how many have come to comeys defense and heard directly from former agents livid at how he was fired and the way the white house has characterized his tenure. They flatly reject he didnt have the support of agents. All right, pierre, thank you. George. Okay, thanks, robin. We are joined by the top democrat on the House Intelligence Committee, california congressman adam schiff. Congressman schiff, thanks for joining us this morning. Straight to the bottom line, do you believe President Trump tried to block the fbi investigation . Well, it certainly sounds as if these reports are accurate that he wanted this investigation of Michael Flynn to stop and he was concerned about the investigation in the sense that it might lead to him based on his own admission in the conversation he claims to have had with director comey. The bottom line, george, we dont really know what took place here and we need to find out. We need to get those notes, if they exist, that comey took of this conversation and any other that bear on this russia investigation in any way and, of making a truthful claim or threat to director comey that he had tapes well need to get those also and i think its only a matter of time and probably not much time before we see director comey come and testify before congress again. Are you prepared to subpoena those tapes, subpoena those notes . I think congress will need to subpoena them if indeed theyre not provided voluntarily. I certainly support that. I think there are many committees that will. Weve seen already Jason Chaffetz on the Government Reform Committee call for that information to be provided and threaten to subpoena it if necessary. Congress needs to get to the bottom of it. I think there are enough credible allegations now of an effort to potentially impede or obstruct the investigation that this needs a very Serious Investigation just on that issue. Is there anything preventing director comey from coming to congress right now . Nothing at all. And im quite sure thats going to happen. I have to i want to explain just what took place if those conversations are as they were reported. The country really needs to know about it. If the president is affirmatively trying to interfere with this investigation, that is something that has to be brought out and investigated by congress and, of course, we have some powerful evidence at least reportedly in the form of con temp andous notes taken by the director of the fbi. Those could be powerful evidence. Youve got a series of allegations, the january dinner where reportedly the president asked for a loyalty pledge, that february meeting where the president reportedly said i hope you can let this go and also the firing of director comey with the president saying russia was on his mind. What it take for that pattern to be an Impeachable Offense . I tried an impeachment case a few years ago in the senate involving a federal judge. Its obviously a very Serious Business even involving a judge. When you talk about the president of the United States, that kind of experience will only happen in the most serious of circumstances. There are, of course, the legal aspects of the issue. In fact, whether the president had the intent to corruptly interfere with the investigation. But then theres a practical consideration and at the end of the day i think the practical consideration is this, would the country believe that an effort to impeach the president was on the basis of a corrupt act by him or that it was simply an act to nullify an election that people disagreed with . If its the latter its never going to be successful. The country would have to have come to the point where they think the president s conduct is so disqualifying that he is rightfully removed from office. I dont think any of us should race to that conclusion. It would be enormously obviously jarring for the country to go through this. What we ought to be doing is methodically getting all the evidence and information to find out just what conversations took place, what did the president intend to do and did improper purpose in trying to stop the investigation altogether, stop the investigation as particular people like flynn and, in other words, protect himself from the administration of justice . Congressman schiff, thanks for your time this morning. Thanks, george. Thats what were seeing this is just the beginning of the investigation. And so many questions and hope some answers from our chief legal analyst dan abrams and jon karl. Could this be obstruction of justice . Sure, it could be. Can the Legal Definition be fit here as to attempting to influence an ongoing procedure or investigation . Sure. But its going to come down to what was the intent . Meaning when he said i hope, was that just talk or was that a sort of a wink and nod with an instruction as to what to do . No question this wasnt a good idea for President Trump no matter what you think and the fact that two of his key aides were instructed to leave the room right before he has this co help in trying to determine what the intent is but most importantly remember look to the political. When were talking about impeachment its not about the definition of the statute its about the fact that fox news at 6 00 last night couldnt get a single republican to come on to defend donald trump. That should be a bigger concern than the legal statue. Because what would it take for an indictment . For a sitting president most believe impeachment is the way that you would prosecute someone. Could you later prosecute them criminally, sure but that the first step here would be an impeachment proceeding and that is a political proceeding. Thats in front of the congress and the senate so as we discussed this, i cant emphasize enough look to the republican senators and congressmen, congresspeople because thats going to be much more important than legal experts defining the statute. Lets bring in jon karl for more. Jon, dan makes the point basically an Impeachable Offense, whatever the majority we are starting to see republicans start to crack or at minimum go silent. Reporter absolutely, and youre seeing some very key republicans raise questions. The chairman of the Senate Intelligence committee, the chairman of the Senate Judiciary committee, the chairman of the House Oversight committee, those are committees that would be investigating this, those are committees that would be in our calling james comey calling him to testify threatening to subpoena that memo if possible. You saw that from Jason Chaffetz. It is clear republicans at the very least are nervous about what they are seeing, are demanding answers and are in no way running to the microphones to defend their republican president. Jon, we heard from congressman schiff. I guess well find out whether President Trump has those tapes, as well. Reporter absolutely and the thing about this, it was President Trump that first invoked that. James comey better hope there are no tapes of our conversation. It turns out that comey himself had something very close to tapes, con temp andous notes those conversations. Thanks very much. All this comes as fallout grows over that report that trump shared. Classified intelligence with russian authorities. Now there are Major Concerns and questions about whether that put the sources life at risk and brian ross is here with reporting on that. Good morning, brian. Reporter good morning, robin. The president has stunned many in the world at the time isis is posing a very real threat to america. Whats at risk this morning according to current and former u. S. Officials is the life of a spy inside isis. Placed there by israel providing Sensitive Information about plots against america on the condition the u. S. Keep the source secret. The real risk is not just this source but future sources of information about plots against us. Reporter the current intelligence from inside isis involves an active plot to bring down a passenger jet en route to the u. S. With a bomb hidden in a laptop that the u. S. Believes can get through machines undetected. The information is so reliable that the u. S. Is considering a ban on laptops on all flights from europe to the u. S. Isis has already taken credit for blowing up a Russian Airliner two years ago killing more than 200 people claiming the bomb was hidden in a soft drink can. The white house National Security adviser says that justifies President Trumps disclosures to the russians. This was the context of the conversation in which it was wholly appropriate to share what the threat was as a basis for common action and coordination. Reporter but many in the Counterterrorism Community say what the president did was a mistake. Russia is not part of the isis coalition. They are not our partner. Reporter as well, russia is known to trade information with countries that are hardly friendly to the u. S. Including iran which is also a sworn enemy of israel, robin. All right, brian, thank you. Lets bring in Martha Raddatz right reporting now that this information came from israel. Of course, the president is heading there this weekend after stopping first in saudi arabia and he spoke with the israel Prime Minister as well. Reporter exactly, george. Our team in israel confirmed he smoke to Benjamin Netanyahu following his call to King Abdullah of jordan. It was tweeted this relationship is unprecedented in its contribution to our strength, israels ambassador to the u. S. Said israel has confidence in the intelligencesharing relationship with the u. S. That, however, is the public face of this. But israel would certainly fear that russia would share intelligence with iran and Israeli Intelligence officers have got to be taken aback by this. If one of their assets lives is at risk that puts others at risk and i imagine they will think twice about what they share in the future. Yeah, they are putting up a good front right there but this is a serious breach. It is and gives Benjamin Netanyahu an advantage. He wont talk about it but it will hang over the meetings and the turmoil President Trump is in right now does not help either, george. Okay, Martha Raddatz. Lets go over to michael. Thank you, george. We change gears and now turn to extreme storms that are slamming the heartland overnight. Tornadoes in oklahoma and wisconsin damaging more than a hundred homes and forcing emergency rescues. Abcs Clayton Sandell is on the scene at elk city, oklahoma, with more. Good morning, clayton.

Reporter the destruction seen from above, the Trailer Court now just a field of debris. I would describe it as total destruction. Reporter high winds even hurling this trailer into the lake.

Public silence this morning, talk of chaos behind the scenes after that new report that President Trump asked former fbi Drb James Comey to shut down the investigation too former National Security adviser Michael Flynn. Now lawmakers from both parties on capitol hill requesting comeys notes from that Oval Office Meeting. So much going on, especially in the last couple of weeks and its hard to keep track of everything so we want to give everybody a quick recap. On may 4th. 13 days ago the Republican Health care bill passed the house. Then on the 9th President Trump fired fbi director james comey. Then on the 15th that report came out that trump shared classified intelligence with those russian authorities and yesterday we learned of that report that trump asked comey to stand down on the flynn investigation. The trump white hou selfinflicted wounds. Big question will President Trumps supporters continue to stand by their man and what can the white house do to turn things around . Well get to that after this report from tom llamas. Reporter george, good morning. President Trump Campaigned on being the outsider that could fix washington but now his white house needs some fixing and the architect of all this trouble appears to be the president himself. This morning, the Trump White House again facing an outbreak of dpajiamaging headlines. The latest salvo against the president. After that bombshell revelation, the president allegedly asked then fbi director james comey to back off that investigation into then National Security adviser Michael Flynn. The latest firestorm to hit the west wing just this week. Did you share classified intelligence information with the russians . Thank you very much. Reporter buzzfeed showing reporters crowding sean spicers Office Monday night demanding president allegedly compromised classified intelligence to the russians. Staffers reportedly turning up the volume on tv sets in the west wing to drown out the sound of their shouting. The president s National Security adviser forced to explain. The president in no way compromised any sources or methods. Reporter this just one week after the president fired comey. President trump directly contradicting his own press secretary. The Deputy Attorney general determined that the fbi director lost his confidence and forwarded that recommendation to the attorney general and the president agreed with it. I was going to fire regardless of recommendation. Reporter the night of the firing reports sean spicer was standing near some tall bushes to avoid tv cameras. That news inspiring this facebook diy lawn ornament. Snl also having a field day. I thought hes investigating russia. I dont like that. I should fire him. And youre just admitting but thats obstruction of justice. Sure, okay. Wait, so, did i get him . Is this all over . Oh, no, i didnt. Nothing matters, absolutely nothing matters anymore. Reporter all jokes aside some saying this may be the pose chaotic white house ever. During the watergate scandal there were many people around the white house who were competently doing the business of government. But in the Trump White House theres only one in charge, donald trump. Reporter supporters claim its the media in a frenzy and that the real story is the White House Leaks to reporters. Theres a weasel here. Its the traitor who disclosed these facts to the Washington Post. Reporter one republican did predict this but voters largely ignored him. At a debate in december of 2015 jeb bush declared donald trump is a chaos candidate and he would be a chaos president. George. Okay, tom llamas, thanks very much. More on this author of the gatekeepers how the white house chiefs of staff define every presidency and joe kelley from wbdo in orlando, florida. Lots of white houses have rocky starts. I was part of one of them but nothing like this. No, i mean this white house has been broken from day one. You know, now its in fullblown chaos and, you know, obviously a lot of that is on the president himself. But in one respect, it shouldnt be that surprising. I mean donald trump thinks he can run the white house the way he ran his manhattan Real Estate Firm with aides, senior aides coming and going. Nobody empowered as first among equals. No chain of command and the result is the chaos that were seeing right now. You know, this has been jerry ford tried it and called it the spokes of the wheel with ford at the center. It was a disaster. After a month he abandoned and picked a chief don rumsfeld. Joe kelley, we talked a few trumps voters from their support. And, george, thats still the case today. Weve been talking to our listeners all morning long and theyre not even remotely disturbed by these latest reports. If james comey has this letter, this memo, some of them are calling it a dead man switch. The question becomes why was he sitting on this memo for three months if it is that bad of a memo, if the president committed some sort of horrible obstruction of justice, why didnt james comey go to the a. G. Or deputy a. G. Three months ago and our listeners instead of looking at blaming President Trump over this, theyre disturbed but with james comey. They blame james comey back during the clinton email investigation era. Yeah, but they want him to go farther with clinton and indict. This is the most serious one of all but youve seen the compromise of the intelligence source, the basic story a white house that at some level cant seem to get anything real achieved right now, nothing shaking them . No, not from our listeners perspectives and i know that can be sometimes hard to understand because of the daily drumbeat of information that comes out of this white house and that we see in the Washington Post and the New York Times but if you cant sympathize with the Trump White House and President Trump himself, i think you fail to realize the absolute distrust that red state america has for the Washington Post and for the New York Times and for the washington establishment. Okay, and, chris, you talked to 17 chiefs of staff in writing your book. To distill that wisdom down and come up with a battle plan of recovery for President Trump. Every president learns the hard way you have to empower a white house chief of staff as first among equals in order to govern effectively because that person has to execute your agenda and also most importantly te y hear. You need to have a grownup in the room. I mean leon panetta for bill clinton, jim baker for Ronald Reagan could walk into the oval office and say, mr. President , you cannot go down this road for the following reasons. Theres no evidence that donald trump wants to have that person in the room but he needs it desperately. Chris whipple, joe kelley, thanks very much. Over to amy. All right, george, we have some dramatic video from washington, d. C. Outside the home of the turkish ambassador where a brawl erupted during a visit by turkeys controversial president. Supporters clashed with human rights protesters, nine people were arrested including one man accused of assaulting a police officer. At least two people were injured in that fight. Well, Army Private Chelsea Manning is walking out of prison today after serving seven years of her 35year sentence for one of the largest leaks of classified documents in u. S. History.

Lets take a listen to what he had to say. I just dont want to sit there and have to figure out what i believe is a truthful answer as to whether or not im opening a can of something that i my lawyers are scrambling. An interesting comment there but what do you make of his strategy to not take the stand in his trial . This is a bad strategy from beginning to end. Fit beside the point. It is a bad strategy for him to be going public now and saying im not going to take the stand. Hes now signaling to prosecutors you dont need to prepare. Dont bother spending your time to prepare for crossexamination. Typically defendants dont disclose that till the end. His reasoning, i dont want to have to answer the questions. They might twist my words. Thats the way trials work, mr. Cosby. You and everyone else have to deal with it. Number three, if the reason he was doing this was to sort of enhance his image publicly, why say im not going to take the stand . So, the legal question of whether he takes the stand is almost secondary to this announcement now which was such a foolish one to say that hes not going to take the stand. Jury selection begins on monday. Thats right, thats right. Its surprising he even went on the air and talked about this in the first place but his daughter also asserted racism played a big role in the scandal in which he responded when he was asked, could be. What do you think about that. I dont tnk particularly smart strategy either. A lot of the women coming forward are africanamerican. The idea that this is racism, now, if he wants to make an argument that one or two people had some particular issue, fine. Bring it up but this notion of lumping in all of these tens of women and suggesting this could be racism i think is a dangerous road for him to go down. Definitely just the beginning. We got a long way to go. Thank you, dan. Next up we got a battle brewing in silicon valley. Instagram is taking on snapchat unveiling its new face filter. Eight different effects you can use on your selfies but many are accusing the tech giant of copying snapchat and, rebecca, youre working on it right now trying to figure it out. Its very addictive.

As youre doing it explain how it isnt exactly like knapp. A lot are on snapchat who are saying this is exactly like snapchat. This is a total ripoff. The instagram executive who worked on this was pressed the other day about all of this. He said, look, sure, were using some of what snapchat has built, its very popular but its not the first time that a tech company has tech company did to bring it forward into new technologies, facebook created newsfeed. Now you have it everywhere. Twitter created hashtags. Now we use hashtags across these different platforms. How kosher is this legally. As long as theyre not taking proprietary technology theyre allowed to be inspired by someone else and allowed to see Something Else working. You look smart with glasses. Theyre my glasses, yeah, yeah, sitting here giving this very serious answer, not thinking about the fact that rebecca is sitting there mocking me with all sorts of absurd like characters showing up.

The big story, the Trump White House in crisis denying allegations that President Trump asked former fbi director james comey to drop the investigation into former National Security adviser Michael Flynns ties to russia. This morning a key republican on capitol hill is demanding to see all memos and documents related to the president S Communications with comey as critics question whether the president obstructed justice. Our senior White House Correspondent cecilia vega has all of the latest. Good morning, cecilia. Reporter amy, good morning to you. This is a white house in crisis mode right now. Democrats are sounding the alarm. Suggesting that the president might have obstructed justice. Members of the president s own party are also calling on comey to testify. This latest bombshell stems from comeys oval office visit in february. Abc news has confirmed the former fbi director wrote a memo saying President Trump asked him to shut down his investigation into Michael Flynn. The president allegedly called flynn a good guy and told comey, i hope you can let this go. Abc news has not seen the memo first reported by the New York Times but sources described it to reporters. It was allegedly part of a paper ai document his meetings with the president. This morning, the top democrat on the House Intelligence Committee told george he wants all documents reeled to comeys conversations with the president turned over to congress. Well, certainly sounds as if these reports are accurate that he wanted this investigation of Michael Flynn to stop and he was concerned about the investigation in the sense that it might lead to him. Reporter and that is being echoed by a Top Republican in congress. The House OversightCommittee Chairman sent a letter to the fbi demanding to see those documents too, amy. All right, cecilia, thank you. The white house says the reports in the media are not an accurate portrayal of trumps conversation. In a fundraising email the Trump Campaign and Republican National committee said, quote, people within our unelected bureaucracy want to sabotage President Trump. An apparent reference to leaks coming from the intelligence community. Meanwhile, this morning, russian president Vladimir Putin responding to reports that President Trump gave classified information about an isis plot to russian officials in the Oval Office Last week. Today putin dismissed the scandal calling it schizophrenia and said u. S. Politicians whipping up antirussian sentiment are either stupid or dangerous. Well, u. S. And european officials are meeting today to discuss possibly banning laptops on flights to the United States because of concern about that isis bomb plot. The existing ban affects flights from ten cities, mostly in the middle east exexpanding it it to flights from europe would affect 65 million travelers per year. Our first look at the damage from a deadly outbreak of storms in the middle of the country. More than two dozen twisters have been reported from texas to western wisconsin where at least one person was killed in a trailer park. Storms also ripped apart a town in western oklahoma claiming at least one life and destroying dozens of homes. And finally, a man in texas is taking legal action after a bad, very bad first date. He says they went to a movie and she would not stop texting her friends. During the movie so he is demanding she pay him back the 17. 31 for both tickets. She left him at the theater saying he was making her extremely uncomfortable. Apparently its not because she left him. He says that this is because its about principle. Its important as defendants behavior is a threat to civilized society. Texting. Thats what its about. Real favor by not saying his name. Does he think that story is worth 17. 31 . Our audience applauded that. [ applause ] i dont know. Im just envious they got two tickets for 17. Get a ticket in new york city, thats one ticket. Thats true. How about pop news . Absolutely, robin. Good morning, everybody. Beautiful day and lots to talk about so lets get to it. Three big announcements for abc.

If you loved this show, you will be very happy to hear that all of the regulars, john goodman, sara gilbert, laurie metcalf, the rest of the cast back for the eightepisode reboot. Yeah, remember this guy . George clooney. We need you. Wouldnt that be great to have him in the family . That would be a big announcement. I know. A girl can dream. Wait a minute here. Now, daddy dan, he was dead in the last episode which is why you all need to tune in. Ah. Because he is listed in the cast so we will all, in fact, see. Please make sure this is correct because i knew that you were a fan of the show. And the fact they won the lottery. Are they going to be rich . There were two beckys. And second becky, sara, will be back in a different role. There you go. I got no more for you. Thats all. You are good with the followups. Thank you very much. And you can ask many followups on my third pod but first i need michael and dating news, there have been so many studies who uses dating profiles or looking for love . Its okay. You dont have to admit it. We talked about how to have the most successful profile and did a study not that long ago about the best pictures and michael was kind enough the best pictures for men for their profile. Go in close facing the camera. Smiling. No teeth, correct. There you go. Smile, no teeth. You can get away wit. For women the study said we should look a little off camera. Have our hair up and smile with teeth. That was one study. Well now if those pearls of wisdom have not worked for your love life perhaps you need to reconsider your wording. A new study, 400,000 profiles on line show there are certain adjectives when used describing yourself can really help or hurt your chances a great deal. Women like to see a man describing himself as number one intelligent, write this down, boys. Number two, confident, and, number three, humorous. Easy. Guys had the most positive reaction to women who scombrieed themselves as, du theyre so ridiculous. Number two, honest and third was confident. The biggest turnoffs were the same three words for both sexes. So write this down, everybody. Do not describe yourself as shy, got forbid. Trustworthy. I mean, really what has happened to us and, number three, dont call yourself happy whatever you do. Wow. Isnt that insane . [ applause ] wow. It was across the board the same three. Happy, trust worthy. And shy. Eh. Happy and trustworthy, at least . Nope. I am very sad, please date me. [ laughter ] thats pretty good. Listen, im a provider of useful i want everyone to find love. Thats really what this is about. Finally if youre in love with the marshmallows in lucky what weres, today is your lucky day. General mills announced its giving away 10,000 boxes of lucky charms with only the marren mallows in the boxes. [ cheers and appla of course, theyre after me what weres. Theres a catch, of course, you have to buy a regular box of lucky charms to get a code and enter the online code to win the box of pink heart, yellow moon, orange stars, green clover, you know theyre magically delicious.

We are back now with an eyeopening new report from Harvard University about young adults and sex. Abcs Deborah Roberts is here with a look at what is going on with millennials in the age of what weve been talking about. These dating apps. Reporter this is some important information. You have a young person in your life because you may be confused about whats happening out there amongst young people. Is hooking up the new dating and does romance include love . Relationships amongst teens and young adults are complicated these days but maybe not as racy and sex fueled as we are all thinking. We sat down actually with a group of 18 to 25yearolds who gave us the unfiltered truth. What does hooking up. I know it means making out or having sex. It depends on how far youre willing to go. Reporter in hbos hit show girls. Millennials are often portrayed as just being a beat away from a quick hookup. But in the report called the talk researchers from harvards graduate school of education suggest young adults are more conservative than previous generations and would rather hang out with friends or date seriously than have casual sex. Is there pressure do you think . Do you think everybody else is whether i should be hooking up . People talk about it a lot so it feels like everyone is doing it but in reality its pretty like not so frequent. Reporter that new harvard report spoke to nearly 220018yearolds to 25yearolds around the u. S. And found a large number are unprepared for caring, lasting romantic relationships and are anxious about developing them. The one thing young people want guidance about is what are the markers of a healthy relationship . What do they look like . When do i know im in a toxic relationship or a relationship thats going to be harmful in some way . They want guidance on these topics from parents and educators. Im a parent and i thought i talked to my daughter a little about, you know, what a healthy relationship is but apparently were not doing that. I feel like having the conversation of like the good things and like all the healthy things and stuff that a relationship should be never comes unless i bring up the bad things that have unless im going through something rough, im never going to hear like what should be good. Yeah. Reporter researchers also asked about Sexual Harassment faced by young women. Anything from being catcalled to being touched without permission by a stranger but the catch22, the report suggests the more women succeed in school and life, the less likely it is that men are respecting them. How many of you have had men call you names that are disrespectful . Everybody. Catcalls . Everybody. They start at like 7 years old. I think i was 6 when i first realized i was a sexual object to men. Wow. And does that just feel like just part of life . Its overload. Its every day. Theres this borderline between harassment and throwing someone a compliment, right. So its when people harass you, oh, thats a compliment if we let them say it and walki we might keep our head high but by not saying anything its making okay. A lot of adults dont know what to say and fear they will be written off. And that silence can be detrimental to the young people in our lives and say theyre desperate for us to talk not just about whats bad and what we shouldnt do but, guys, they say they want to hear what is a Good Relationship and what makes them meaningful and loved and what is positive in their lives. Share your story. Share your relationship. Exactly. They want to hear it. They all raised their hands and said talk to them. I saw george taking notes. Lots of notes.

Tomorrow t and now to that major health alert that it could be the worst season forever for ticks. Theres a new report that says a type called seed ticks could put your kids in real danger and jesse palmer is here with the story. Good morning, jesse. Good morning, michael. As warm weather spreads across the country were now entering prime tick season and that means increased even fatal risk but there are ways to keep your family safe. As kids and pets return to playing outside theyre more likely than ever to come in contact with ticks. Especially in tall grass. Piles of leaves or shrubs around your home. April through june is really the highest tick activity season. Reporter in ohio, one mom posted these alarming pics on facebook going viral now and says after just 30 minutes of playing outside her daughter was covered with these tiny hard to see larval seed ticks. These bugs can cause big problems. Reports saying they now present a rare but potentially fatal danger called the powassan virus that causes seizures, memory loss and longterm neurological damage. In most cases they have a die to find the tick and remove it before the tick has a chance to transmit germs that will make them sick. Reporter lyme disease is still a huge concern. The cdc estimating 30,000 americans are infected with lyme disease each year. But note that underreporting could put the actual count at 300,000. Too keep you and your family safe experts say always check for ticks as soon as you come from Wear Clothing with builtin tick repel leapt. Use tick repellent sprays and shower within two hours of leaving outdoors to help wash away any unattached ticks. The cdc represents if youre trying to remove a tick first you want to protect your fingers with tissue or latex gloves. Secondly, disinfect the bite site and finally dont squeeze the ticks body because it could infect you thats great advice. If youre a golfer as i am check yourself after you come off the course. All right, thank you, jesse. Coming up, the one and only Kerry Washington is here, everybody. Oh. You can see shes calling the shots on scandal and now shes even calling shots on gma.

I know how we feel about it. How do you and the rest of the cast feel about it. I think were all a little sad but also we feel grateful to have the information. Sometimes as an actor you dont know when youll be out of a job so its nice actually to go into the last season knowing its our last season because were already talking about how its going to be like no holds barred. Better than ever. No holding punches, putting it all on the table. Were choosing to leave. Were choosing to go away early. Seems like you already are doing that every week.

Go would you like to see olivia end up with the president or not . Its hard for olivia happy but its hard to know in shondaland what that means because shonda has encouraged all of us to think about the idea that people define happiness in different ways and your happiness not that im going to use happy in my dating Online Dating that i dont have. But you know happiness is defined in different ways by different people so i really want whats best for olivia, yeah. Okay. Heres the question i cannot bring myself to ask. Look what they wrote on this card here. When was this . Number four. It looks like you guys have a lot of fun behind the scenes on scandal but what is with all the nose picking . So, i do on instagram i do a lot of nose picking. My own nose and Tony Goldwyns and i think its honestly a way to defuse the situation often and not take myself so seriously and encourage tony to do the same. Hes picking his nose to compete with my nose picking because he doesnt like when others have all bunny ear, nose picking. Very serious actors on scandal. Yes. And we have to we have to wish you a belated mothers day. Oh, yeah. [ applause ] im very blessed. Im very blessed. You know, just relaxing which is not something i do often.
