heard that police have postponed the deadline for the crowd to actually move. >> reporter: yes, josh. there are several hundred protesters out here this morning. and what happened, an extremely tense celebration, turned celebratory, as word came down they didn't have to clear out of the park. the protesters have been preparing for the 7:00 a.m. deadline to move out of the park. the city said the park needed a good weeks. a power-washing actually. they said the park had become unsanitary. protesters were refusing to leave. police were on standby, ready to move in. but as you said, last night, the protesters spent the entire evening cleaning the park themselves, hoping to avoid a standoff. there's tension here in new york city. but it appears there's tension mounting all around this country, with police in denver moving in overnight in riot gear on protesters. ten arrested overnight in seattle. back here again in new york city, the scene is a celebratory one. the cleanup goes on. protesters are chanting that the people of wall street will not be defeated. and it appears, josh, that occupation will go on. >> thank you. and the other big story overnight. as many as eight possible tornadoes touching down in virginia, including this one right there. hitting, in fact, the same area where that earthquake struck back in august. about a dozen homes were damaged. thousands lost power. sam has much more on the storm's track in just moments. and at the white house, president obama hosted a formal state dinner for south korea's president and his wife, celebrating a trade deal the administration says will create some 70,000 jobs. today, both presidents will tour a general motors plant in michigan. and some dramatic video from china this morning. look at this chinese fighter jet, suddenly loses power at the air show. plunging to the ground, bursting into flames. thankfully, the pilot ejected in time, landing safely with a parachute. no one -- yeah. no one in the crowd was hurt, either. good news there. and in southern california, a 4-year-old boy is lucky that he wasn't lucky no one else was, as well, taking the wheel of his mother's car. a 4-year-old boy, taking the wheel and going on a joyride, all by himself. and during rush hour, no less opinion he drove into oncoming traffic. hit a car, flipped over and crashed into the trees you see there. police say the boy climbed out of his car seat when his mother went to make a phone call. he, the boy, is not hurt. >> never leave the keys in the car. going to turn to politics now. pizza mogul, herman cain, in front right now. while the texas governor, rick perry, is struggling. we're going to talk to perry in a moment. first, let's bring in jon karl with the latest on the race. what an emotional speech yesterday from perry's wife. >> reporter: absolutely. anita perry has been everywhere on the campaign lately. and she takes attacks on her husband personally. and is not afraid to fire back at his critics. rick perry is bringing out the big guns. sending his wife, anita, on the campaign trial. yesterday, she took a whack at herman cain an his 9-9-9 economic plan. >> when i hear 9-9-9, i want to call 911. >> reporter: perry and his wife first met in elementary school. have been married for 29 years. she's his most staunch advocate. >> we're warriors. we're climbing up that hill to save america. >> reporter: perry zoomed to the top when he got into the race two months ago. since then, he's been in something of a freefall. in 1 poll, dropping 22 points. the campaign has since stymied by bad debate performances. >> he was before -- before the social programs. >> reporter: anita perry accused the other candidates of ganging up on her husband. >> i think these debates have been unfair. >> reporter: perry has taken heat for the controversial views of one of his supporters. >> islam, hinduism, and mormonism are all false religions. >> reporter: pastor robert jeffrey has repeatedly called mormonism a cult. and it's not just mormons he insulted. in a sermon last year, he called catholicism the genius of satan. >> it comes from this cult-like, pagan religion. >> reporter: anita perry teared up yesterday when talking about how tough this campaign has been. saying her husband has been, quote, beaten up, brutalized and chewed up because of his christian faith and his conservative views. george? >> yeah. she was really passionate yesterday, jon. let me ask you. governor perry is going to give his major jobs and energy speech today in pittsburgh. he says it can create 1.2 million new jobs by taking aregulations in the energy sector. but his opponents are saying that's not going to work. it's not going to create the jobs. and they're taking a closer look at his record in texas. >> reporter: they sure are, george. you remember, when perry got into this race, he got into it as the jobs governor. the person who presided over texas at a time when texas led the nation in job creation. but his critics are looking at that record in texas. and right now, texas has an unemployment rate of 8.5%. that's a little lower than the national average. but it is the highest that texas has seen since 1987. and, george, it is double the unemployment rate when perry became governor ten years ago. >> meanwhile, jon, herman cain. what a remarkable story in the last several weeks. yesterday, he actually got some high-profile support for his 9-9-9 tax plan. congressman paul ryan, the chairman of the house budget committee, says he loves the plan. and you saw governor haley barbour of mississippi saying he thinks cain can sweep the south in an election. >> reporter: this is incredible. cain has come out of nowhere. he's had no major support. there's been no major endorsements of his campaign. but he started to take off, obviously leading in some polls. as you say, two major republican figures, now. not endorsing him. but saying good things about his campaign. >> jon, thank you very much. >> and you'll be talking to the governor, governor perry in a moment. now, a surprise confession for the man accused of hacking into some online accounts of some of hollywood's biggest stars. christopher chaney says it was an addiction. andrea canning has the story. >> reporter: christopher chaney is expected to appear in a florida court today. he explained how he became the so-called hacker-razzi. for over a year, private and sometimes naked pictures of stars hit the internet for the world to see. until the fbi finally narrowed in on this man, living 2,500 miles from hollywood, in jacksonville, florida. >> i was almost relieved months ago, when they came and took the computer. >> reporter: 35-year-old christopher chaney, the alleged mastermind behind operation hack hackerazzi admitted to hacking into reports, as part of a deep fascination with celebrities. >> it started with fascination. it turned into being addicted of seeing behind the scenes what was going on. >> reporter: chaney allegedly took financial information and movie scripts. the fbi says he studied the details of the stars' lives, printed in magazines and posted online to get their e-mail passwords. once he accessed their accounts, he stole their address books and went on the hunt for embarrassing photos. >> what would you do with the information you found in those e-mails? >> nothing. i mean, it was almost like reading a completely uncensored blog. i wasn't saving archives of e-mails to blackmail someone. >> reporter: chaney claims he never sold the pictures or information. >> someone contacted me wanting the pictures to sell. this was someone who apparently did it for a living. i don't know who it was. >> did you sell any of those pictures? >> i didn't give that person any pictures. i didn't sell them. i never wanted to sell or release any images. >> reporter: authorities, however, say he did distribute them. >> i deeply apologize. i know what i did. and that it was wrong. and i just have to fix that and deal with it. go forward. >> reporter: chaney is charged with 26 counts of identity theft, unauthorized access to a protected computer and wire-tapping. if convicted, he faces up to 121 years in prison. surprisingly not the first time he was in trouble with the law. in the '90s, he was convicted of mail fraud and sentenced to probation. >> thanks, andrea. we have that interview with governor perry. i spoke with him just before the show. thanks, jon. we're joined by the candidate himself, governor rick perry. in pittsburgh, pennsylvania, to give a jobs speech later today. i want to talk about the jobs speech in a minute. first, the remarkable comments from your wife yesterday. you are a lucky man to have such a passionate defender. but is that what you believe? that these debates have been unfair? and that you've been brutalized because of your christian faith? >> well, i do have one of the finest women in the world that i could be married to. and she is passionate. and i'll tell you that family members generally take these campaigns harder than anyone else. but i'll stand by my wife. i think she's right on both cases. my understanding is, that she said i'm the most conservative candidate in the race. and he's a christian. so, i haven't got anything i can add to that. she's hit me on my mark both times there. >> okay. well, you stand by those comments. i want to get to more of that in a second. now, on to the jobs program. you're rolling out your jobs plan today. herman cain has made his mark with the 9-9-9 plan. mitt romney unveiled his 59-point plan a couple of weeks ago. why is your plan better than theirs? >> well, for a number of reasons. the president of the united states, under my plan, walks in on day one. and the first 100 days starts really making an impact in this country. over 1.2 million jobs to be created by opening up those federal lands and waters, by pulling back the owners regulations we see killing jobs. and rebuilding the e.p.a. those, three, major events, can get america working again, can create wealth and open up this treasure trove of resources that we stand upon on the united states property. so, an executive with governing experience that knows how to create jobs, with a plan that, frankly, is simple. and that's what americans want. and that, as president, is what i will do. >> governor, your pundits point out that unemployment has doubled during your tenure as governor. and that 69% of the jobs created are government jobs. is that the model for the country? >> i disagree with those numbers, for one thing. we had huge growth. a lot of people moved to the state of texas from other states, looking for those jobs. unemployment has gone up across this country. texas wasn't immune to it. we just happened to be creating jobs when other states were losing jobs. and the bulk of those jobs, 95% of them were above minimum wage. and a substantial margin of them were substantially more than what you got or in the private sector. that's how americans want to see job creation. and let's get back to the real issue here. i'm talking about creating jobs in the energy industry that will make america secure from countries who we're buying oil from today that don't have our best interest in mind. >> yesterday, your wife also said that when she looks at herman cain's plan, 9-9-9, she wants to call 911, because it's going to be a national sales tax. is that what you think? >> i think that's close to hitting the spot. you know, when you look at the 9% increase in states that already have a sales tax, you're going to really see pushback from people. once this really gets looked at, it sounds pretty cool to say 9-9-9. but at the end of the day, it is a big tax increase on some people out there that vote, that care. and i think it's going to be tough sledding for 9-9-9. >> governor, what do you make of herman cain? you've dropped 20 points since august. it's all gone to him. he skyrocketed by 20 points. what is he doing right that you're doing wrong? >> well, herman cain is one of the most interesting people sitting on that stage. that's for sure. when people look at what he's talking about, when people look at his tax plan, when people try to make a decision about who you really want running america, somebody that really knows how to create jobs. not that somebody has a catchy slogan. >> finally, governor, you say you stand by your wife's comments, even singled out by your faith. a lot of your opponents say that's what your supporter, revere reverend jeffers did. your opponent, romney, has asked you to repudiate his comments. will you do that? >> i have a lot of people that endorse me. but i don't endorse what they say or believe, for that matter. that's the case on this one. i can't control those individuals who go out and say something who may be more me in a race. this is about freedom of speech. i mean, freedom of religion. our founding fathers were wise in creating those rights. freedom of religion. and we have a great number of faiths. and i support people's choice of being able to pick and choose their faith. but i also choose to support the freedom of expression. so -- >> do you want -- will you repudiate it? >> -- i don't agree with. >> do you repudiate it, governor? >> i can't say that he can't say what he wants to say. the issue is, are we going to tell people what they want to say? and i'm not going to be one of those. this is a country where we truly have freedom of expression. and there's going to be people who say things about me. probably going to be people who say things about president obama, that are offensive to him and his family. but those folks who say those things, are going to be the ones that you need to be asking the questions to. not those of us who are either associated with them, know them, or for that matter, have endorsed president obama. >> finally, governor, this is a gut-check question. how badly do you want to be president? >> listen. i wouldn't have got in this thing if i didn't think america was in trouble. i have a great job being the governor of texas. but i love my country. and there's a point in time when you have to do your duty. and that's what i'm all about. i want to get this country back working again. i love america. i wore the uniform of this country as a pilot in the united states air force. i understand about service and sacrifice. and this is a time when people who truly love this country, who truly have a passion about the freedoms that we've lost from these regulators who are taking away men and women's right to have the dignity of a job. that's what i'm all about. i hope there's somebody watching this program today who is sitting there in their living room without a job, looking for that person who is going to give them hope that they're going to have a job in the future. i'm that person. >> thanks a lot for joining us this morning, governor. >> you're welcome, george. >> big jobs speech today. let's get over to weather now and sam. a lot going on in virginia. >> there is. good morning, robin, george. happy friday, everybody. by the way, talk about a hot spot for really bad weather, it was in virginia last night. from richmond, all the way to washington, d.c. that charles city tornado, on the ground for six miles. eight tornadoes reported. and gusty winds. 70-mile-per-hour winds, that moved into new england. and far north of connecticut last night, those storms were pounding and waking folks up overnight. boston is in the red zone with heavy rain. three inches-plus. and central massachusetts today. lighter rain as you work south. and we're working that up for a drier weekend, from the mid-atlantic to new england. a little messy during the day today. you have cooler air along the coastline that's pushing on the west coast. all that heat back in. l.a. was 98 yesterday. today, you're more like 85, with coastal fog and clouds, as well. good morning. on this purple friday, rain will roll back into the commute. chance thunderstorms later on this morning through early this afternoon. the lunch hour, you may want to take it inside and stay inside. gusts 20 miles an hour or higher with imbedded storms and 72. and now back to 51 tonight and the showers end and we get some clearing and it looks like wings will be the issue for the baltimore running festival. 68 and 69 on sunday. >> from the great lakes to the northeast, a genuine fall-like weekend. >> genuine. happy friday, sam. coming up, the new videos of baby lisa's life at home before she disappeared in the middle of the night. and one wild ride. the 23-year-old who lived to tell about

could she be queen if she has brothers? the move to change the royal rules. also coming up, diane sawyer's inspirational look inside a hidden america. a year in the making. she looked at the children growing up in the shadow of mt. rushmore. this is really special. >> diane is passionate about this type of reporting. now, to the latest in the disappearance of missing baby lisa irwin. her family has reseriesed home videos, as investigators search near the wooded area near their kansas city home. abbie boudreau is in kansas city and has the latest for us this morning. abbie? >> who are you talking to? >> reporter: it's the first glimpse into baby lisa's life at home. >> the look at the messy baby, lisa. >> reporter: you can hear lisa's mom behind the camera. >> say hi, mom mom. what are you doing? >> reporter: lisa, wearing a dadly loves me t-shirt. happy family moments her parents now cherish. >> mm. good girl. >> reporter: as the search for lisa enters its 11th day, with seemingly no leads, the family says it's releasing the videos this morning, in the hopes people will not lose interest in little lisa's story. >> there's never enough we can do to keep a child safe out there when they've disappeared. and so, media is such a powerful tool to be able to utilize them as much as possible is really one of the best things that her family could be doing right now. >> reporter: for the first time this morning, we're also hearing exclusive by from bill stanton, private investigator and former new york city police officer, now working with the family. how is the family doing right now? >> i am seeing a family -- >> reporter: after spending time with the baby's mother, do you think she may have been responsible for her child's disappearance? >> let me try to not give a politician's answer, and say this, she doesn't want to be discounted. she doesn't want to be discounted. >> reporter: what do you mean? >> she wants to be looked at, vetted. and then, once everyone feels she's not a suspect, let's move on. >> reporter: bill stanton says he's already received e-mail tips that he's handed over to investigators. he also says the family continues to cooperate with police. robin? >> all right, abbie. thank you. we're going to bring in "gma" legal analyst, dan abrams. we hear bill stanton, his last remarks to abbie, saying the mother doesn't want to be discounted. what do you make of that? >> she wants to be ruled out. after the latest we've seen where police says they're not cooperating anymore, and they have to come out and do interviews, i think it's smart for the parents to say, we're going to do whatever it takes, however long it takes, to assure the authorities they can look elsewhere. i think that's a smart thing for them to say. >> in the last couple days, we've seen videos released. yesterday, it was the surveillance of the mom. she's out shopping. today, it's the home videos. you hear the mother sweetly talking to the baby. what do investigators look for in these? >> i think the investigators will look a lot more at the surveillance tapes than the home video tapes. in any case, when someone has ended up doing something horrible to a child, you can probably find some video at some point that someone's being kind to a child. not to say it's not relevant. but for investigators, it's not going to be a big issue. on the other hand, that surveillance tape, from only hours earlier, the fact that she's buying, in bulk, to some degree, diapers and wipes and other things, i think is helpful to her to say, this sure doesn't look like someone who was about to do something bad to the child. now, there's always the possibility of accidents, et cetera. but i think that surveillance tape is relevant to investigators. >> the parents, first, very open in talking to the media and talking to police. then, they backed off of both. you're going to be going out there this weekend and you're going to talk to the parents. good or bad how they've handled this? >> i think the big problem for them was when the police came and announced the parents are no longer cooperating. a case like this, when there's an announcement the parents are no longer cooperating immediately suspicion starts to grow. i think it was very smart for the parents to come out and say, in effect, there was a misunderstanding. we're going to get back in there. we're going to work with the authorities. but look, working with the media is significant in missing child cases. >> it is, yeah. >> it's not just to defend yourself. but also to draw attention to it, so there's other people out there looking for the child. in a high-profile case, you can suddenly get an army of volunteers helping you. and that's the reason to go to the media. and i think that it's smart of the family to be balancing. but they have to make sure that the authorities are continuing to say they're helping, they're working with us, we're trying to rule them out, et cetera. and then, secondarily is this media strategy. >> again, you'll be talking with them this weekend. i know you'll be filling in. we'll see you with bianna on "gma." shark tale time. josh is here with that story. doug niblack, oregon coast. >> he says. we're going to take you back on this crazy ride, allegedly, on the back of a great white shark. 23-year-old doug niblack had the surprise of his life, when he was surfing and one of the earth's scariest predators collided with him. he said he ended up standing with the shark, surfing it. it lifted him out of the water for several seconds. and the shark took off. the shark didn't bite into him. listen to how niblack and a witness describe the encounter. >> i saw my ankle get pled about three feet, being dragged by the leash. then, it was gone. and that was the scariest part when i didn't know where it was anymore. >> had that fight or flight thing going on. obviously, sharks are bigger than us. so, we chose flight. >> so, sharks, they do roam the oregon coast. surfers see them from time to time. shockingly, no one got video of the encounter. how do we know it happened? i would just argue we kind of do. the sharks come up from the bottom. they knock him off the board. that sharks don't let them surf on back of them. >> it was a short surf. he's on the board. he comes up. >> look at you. anybody? anybody? is anybody buying this story? >> i don't think you're a liar. sam? let's get to some weather. >> wow. the other day when i was flying with a bald eagle -- [ laughter ] -- the weirdest thing happened. >> you are on fire. >> i don't have a picture. but, josh, come on. you know. >> it happens all the time. >> i don't think you're a liar, either. >> wow. we just throw that word around. here's what we got, new york city, to philadelphia and detroit and chicagoland. a gusty windy time because an area of low pressure is moving the rain out of the way. you have cooler temperatures. but you have to put up with the winds from the great lakes to the coastline. on saturday, gusty winds and cooler temperatures. there's the pocket of chilly air. nice and warm, from dallas to atlanta, orlando to miami. see you in a few hours. then, from seattle all the way down to san francisco at 79 degrees. we're looking at phoenix at about 96. it is cooler on that c good morning. wet awhat we get. the rain will roll back in this morning and storms continue to the other part of the afternoon as the breeze picks up and the steadier winds gust to over 20 miles an hour and we clear it out but stay windy over the weekend. >> and all that weather was brought to you by party city. robin? george? josh? >> you have been enfuego today. >> that's why they call him -- >> we're coming off the rails here. coming up, will and kate's first child is not a boy, the big royal rule change that could see a future daughter crowned queen. twizzlers. the twist you can't resist. and i swear by it.

>> reporter: it has grown in the last moments. good morning. the protesters are calling it a huge victory for their moment. what had been a hugely tense scene quickly turned into a celebration when they got that news that they don't have to clear this park. then, it turned into a march. and now, it's back to that sense of tension again. protesters are marching directly to the new york stock exchange, from this park near wall street. police are following them in pursuit, as they zigzag down the streets of wall street. protesters refused to leave the park as the 7:00 a.m. deadline approached. police were ready, on standby, to move in again. that did not happen. last night in new york city, the protesters spent the entire evening scrubbing the park down themselves, hoping to be able to avoid that standoff. owners for a clean park, come the morning. in new york city, though, this crowd is going in size, as they march through the city streets. it's also growing in diversity. josh, we just spotted hip-hop mogul, russell simmons, now, among the crowd of protesters out here. >> all right. cecilia vega, as the crowd swells, you will be covering it all. and police moved in on protesters in denver and seattle, where ten people were arrested for refusing to leave a park. more than 1,000 people attended a candlelight vigil last night for the eight people killed in the shooting rampage at a southern california hair salon. police say the accused, scott dekraai, was angry with his ex-wife. and she had reported abuse. but was afraid of making dekraai more angry. rick perry is in pittsburgh rolling out his jobs plan this morning. but here on "gma," he told george his plan would create more than 1 million jobs by reducing regulations. perry refused to denounce a pastor who, in reference to mitt romney, has repeatedly called mormonism a cult. and new proof this morning that american's paychecks are shrinking. census figures show median income dropped over the last decade. experts surveyed by "the wall street journal," say it will be at least ten more years before we make up any of the lost ground. with less money to spend, americans aren't shopping as much as they used to. the gop is now closing nearly 200 stores across the country, as it shrinks operations here and expands overseas. and finally, a truck driver from virginia apparently trying to channel his inner james bond. but he was stopped relatively dead in his tracks. police say he had a retractable license plate on his tractor-trailer, designed to evade tolls. the cable pulled the plate out of view as he drove through the ez-pass lane on new york's george washington bridge. almost got away from paying the $65 toll. but a police officer saw him do it and made the arrest. >> good work there. >> yeah. in the nick of time. and lara got an early jump to the weekend. great to have our weekend anchor, bianna golodryga. you have pop news for us. >> i haven't done this in a while. a little rusty here. here we go, guys. trouble for lindsay lohan. the star has reportedly been kicked out of her court-ordered community service program for repeatedly failing to show up. she is due in court next week for a progress report. and how much would you pay, josh, to say xoxo to gossip girls?

>> one day i was in church. and i was sitting with my sister. an i saw him walk through the door. and a feeling just came over me. and i said, that's who i feel i want. >> at 19, becca married isaiah and marlene. after a year of marriage, marlene and becca say they've worked through the initial bumps in the road. and now, are almost inseparable. >> i have, right now, my best friend, living with me. i can talk to her about any of my problems. she completely understands because she's married to the same guy. >> i talk to her every day. and i probably talk to her more than i talk to isaiah. >> between the two of them, they have four children. the most recent, a 6-week-old baby is becca's first. >> we didn't want, this is your child. this is my child. we wanted all our children raised together. i'm mom. she's mom. >> this baby will soon have another brother or sister. marlene is just weeks away from delivering her fourth child. and both women expect to have many more. >> i don't know that i would ever put a number on it. i grew up with 25 brothers and sisters. and i loved it. and i want that for my kids. i believe that this is the way god lives. and i believe that this is a superior way to live. >> and lisa ling joins us now. fascinating stuff. i'm so surprised they let you in. >> yeah. they gave us very rare access. and what surprised me most, is that our perception, in polygamist communities, men have all the control. they dictate what is going to happen. they pick their wives. but in this community, in centennial park, the women are on the front lines, fighting for justice. and in this community, it's the women who dictate who they're going to marry. so, a young girl might get spoken to by god and say that she's supposed to marry her math teacher. but she holds that inside. and then, when she turns 19, she consults the spiritual elders and asks if it's okay. and if they grant her approval, she can marry her math teacher. >> how do they describe this idea that god has called them to pick this particular man? >> they believe at a certain point in their lives, and they don't know when it's going to happen, god will speak to them. and they will know instantly as soon as they see the man. and the man is completely unaware. when special elders call him in, they probably don't -- they may not even know who the girl is. so, it's pretty interesting. and it completely shocked me that the women were so leading the charge. >> you know, we've had a lot of polygamist families here on "gma" recently. and they're very convincing in describing how much they love the lifestyle. but i confess. i still don't get it. you say you do. >> i get it. in these polygamist communities, it's really all about the families. it's not just about the man. i mean, the man, when he takes on multiple wives. that's a huge responsibility. >> i would think, yeah. >> but in these communities, you never have to be concerned about child care because there will all be wives or older children. and that is the core of their existence. it's the family. and there's something to be said for that. and one of the women, one of the older wives said, frankly, it's kind of nice to have someone to take care of our husband's physical needs sometimes. and you know, i kind of get that. >> okay. you know, i had not heard said in just this way before. the wives described themselves as married to each other. >> they do. but ultimately, they're all married to one man. but it is a family. and in fact, in this community, they believe that jesus christ was also a polygamist, as well. so, this is the core of their beliefs, according to their teachings. their mormon teachings. >> tell us what you're going to be doing this season. >> this season of "our america" is incredibly rich. we have an incredible show about veterans and ptsd. and we've seen a lot about the high-level ptsd that veterans are coming back with. but i've never seen a show like the one we did. we really, i saw the manifestation of ptsd in these veterans. and it was so devastating to watch. but i also saw the same veterans get their spirits back. call their spirits back. it was an incredible retreat. >> are they getting the help they need?
