Intelligence streaming in about planning for possible attacks on passenger planes. New kinds of bombing we havent seen before. Lets get right to Pierre Thomas in washington. Good morning, pierre. Reporter good morning, george. Abc news has learned that radicals operating in syria, are trying to develop the next information of improvised explosives that could be smuggled on to commercial planes. Sources tell abc news, the u. S. Government has obtained intelligence an aqueda affiliate in syria, has joined forces with al qaedas satellite in yemen, to try to produce new bombs. The yemen group, known for its innovative explosivemaking, was behind the underwear bomb plot to blow up an airliner over detroit. And the 2010 plot to take over cargo planes over the u. S. With printer bombs. While no specific plot has been uncovered, some u. S. Analysts believe the terrorists are trying to develop new, difficult to connect bombs, to target a u. S. Or europeanbound plane. Al qaeda in yemens bombmaking expertise, with thousands of foreign fighters with u. S. And european passports. Monday, the fbi director expressed his concern about radicals operating in syria, and now iraq, flowing over porous borders. Were spending a tremendous amount of time identifying those who go. And very concerned about syria as a breeding ground and a staging ground for terrorist groups. Reporter concerns about new improvised explosives first surfaced earlier this year, opting warnings to airlines about toothpaste and cosmetic bombs. Now, we know more about why those concerns continue. George . Pierre, thanks very much. We certainly do. Now, to the tornadoes that are ripping through the midwest. Three reported in the midwest, damaging homes with all that rain and flooding rivers. It keeps going on and on and on, ginger. All along a lot of the stationary fronts. Theres not much movement. Thats a problem. One of them came, a tornado. The National Weather service, estimating it runs and you can see the damage. Including denver. Yesterday, had ha a warning that includes the airport. But fortunately, nothing happens. Large hail, damaging winds, all possible from the panhandle of texas through oklahoma. And up to ft. Collins. We want to check in on prior lake, minnesota. And the flood stage hasnt been reached or surpassed like it will be. The worst is yet to come. Most of the rain will move to the east, though, including parts of the northeast. Buffalo, syracuse. Look at some of those numbers. Fourplus inches. Ill have a lot more coming up in your nations weather. Good morning, everyone. We begin with breaking news out of miami. At least seven people have been shot overnight. Two of them killed. Many many others in critical or serious condition. This happened inside an apartment complex, just north of downtown. Police have not discussed a motive or whether the victims were targeted. A Major Development from the crisis in iraq. After days of fighting, sunni militants have seized control of iraqs largest oil refinery, giving them power to regulate electric and gas supplies. This morning secretary of state john kerry is trying to convince kurdish leaders in the north, to join a new iraqi government. Kerry told abcs alex marquardt, theres still hope iraq can stay united. So, theres this shock, this opportunity for iraq, to come up on its own choice, that would avoid, actually falling into civil war. Iraqs Prime Minister has agreed to begin forming that new government by july 1st. A demand made by the u. S. , in hopes of appeasing the sunni majority. 60 more schoolgirls have been kidnapped by a group in nigeria, the same group thats been holding more than 200 girls since april. A white house lawyer is being forced to testify before congress after a gative latenight hearing over whether the agency targeted conservative groups. The congressman leading the investigation, accused the irs commissioner about lying over lost emails tied to that scandal. But the commissioner insisted theres no evidence of a crime, saying the emails were lost when a computer crashed. Well, world cup fever turned into chaos on the streets of los angeles. Hundreds of fans celebrating mexicos big win jumped on cars, blocked intersections before eventually facing off police. Several were arrested. And finally, a famous athlete has learned the hard way that those fancy sports cars we all dream of driving may not have the best gas mileage. With his embarrassed girlfriend in the passenger seat, evan turner of the Indiana Pacers ran out of gas driving down the highway in ohio. And you see his cherry red ferrari. He needed an assist from an old College Teammate who brought him a can of gas, which evan had some trouble opening. Oh, well. Look, we even have photographic evidence of that. The teammate boaposted the picts all over social media. The friends turn into enemies. All his cool points for the ferrari that little tank of gas, probably got him about ten feet before he had to get another one. But all his cool points for driving the ferrari bombed. Two excellent points there, michael. Were going to move on to a new warning about drones and passenger planes. A growing number of incidents. And the government issuing a new alert. Abcs david kerley is in washington for us with the latest on all this. Good morning, david. Reporter good morning, robin. This wasnt just the faa issuing a warning. It was the secretary of transportation, who reiterated the current rules. Pleading with americans to keep the aircraft under control, as the number of incidents is on the rise. They are small, light, and inexpensive. And sometimes flying too close to real aircraft. We just saw a little drone below us. Reporter that was a jumbo jet on approach to new yorks jfk last year. And just weeks ago, near tallahassees airport. Somebody reported three miles east of the field, a remotecontrolled aircraft. Reporter a minijet got too close to an aircraft. In the past 2 years, 15 sti incidents in which remotecontrolled aircraft got too close to planes. A nasa database shows 50 incidents in the past decade. Worrisome for pilots. Hitting an airplane going 200, 250 miles per hour, if it hits the wrong place, comes in through the cockpit, hits the glass, it can hit the pilot or the copilot. Reporter thats why this morning the secretary of transportation is warning anyone who buys a drone, to follow the current rules. Keep them away from airports and populated areas. The problem, the technology is moving much faster than the rulemaking. Look what we found at a hobby store for 700. This is the phantom. Four rotors, carry a camera. And go 2,200 feetings. Those capabilities outstrip the current rules. The faa was supposed to have new rules last year, but thats been delayed this year, with tests across the country. Privacy a big concern. And sunday, a seattle woman looked out her window and reported a drone was staring back at her. And she called police. Technology is growing so fast. 22 miles per hour, it can travel. A new medical report with a warning for parents. That fortified cereal we give our kids to get them vitamins may be doing more harm than good. Dr. Richard besser is here. The study says maybe it gives children too much of three, key nutrients. They were looking at vitamin a, zinc and niacin. They saying that the cereals are fortified at a level for adults not for kids. And these are real drugs. What does the report recommend . Theyre saying high levels of vitamin a can cause problems with things like hair loss, bone problems, liver problems. They want the fda to recalculate all of the levels to be based on whats recommended for kids. If it says greater than 25 , they shouldnt go there. Fda says theyre looking at the labels. What should parents do right now . I think its important for a couple things. One is, we do need vitamins and minerals. Youre going to get a lot of these from your food. But one of the important things is, if it says fortified with vitamins and minerals, it doesnt mean its better for you. A lot of them are sweetened breakfast cereals. And those arent good because of all of the sugar in there. You have to eat a ton of the cereal to o. D. On vid mtamins. Ive never seen or heard of a problem with a child having too much of the vitamins. Its a theoretical risk. Its good theyre going to change the labels. But i dont think parents need to worry this morning while their kids are eating breakfast. Now, to the allday summit on working families. President obama making a strong pitch for guaranteed paid maternity leave. I had a chance to talk to the first lady about that and other issues facing americans. Monday afternoon, president obama giving a keynote address at the summit, urging a big change in workplace policy. Theres only one developed country in the world that does not offer paid maternity leave. That is us. And thats not the list you want to be on by your lonesome. Reporter just hours later, i spoke with first Lady Michelle obama. The landscape is changing. Women are going into the workforce. Theres more stayathome dads. Is that part of the movement in letting everybody know it is an issue for everyone in the family . Absolutely. Men, you know, understand in a you need that time, too, because that time he spent taking the late night shift, not only did it save me. But he connected with our girls in a way that i still see. So, this is about strengthening the whole family. Reporter one thing that really touched a lot of people is when he said, yes, you are a strong woman. A strong mother. A strong wife. But that early in the marriage, to see you break down in tears because you were trying to juggle so much. The minute those kids come into the world, they just rip your heart out of your chest. Our first job is to make sure that our kids are onpoint. Employers have to know that family life isnt right, if theres a worry, if you dont think youre leaving your child in good care, if theyre not healthy and whole and happy, youre going to bring that worry to work. Reporter another hot topic was minimum wage and equal pay. Studies are showing that having a fair wage, decent policies in the life, creating a flexible environment, that improves the bottom line for companieses. Reporter you have said that you and your husband would like your daughters to get a minimum wage job. To build character and understand what its like. What kind of job do you think . It doesnt matter what it is. I think the whole point is they learn how to roll up their sleeves and work hard and understand. There are people who get up every day for their entire lives and go to a job thats not fun. And they do it to put food on the table. Reporter when you leave washington, malia will be in college. I know. Reporter sasha will be in high school. There are many people wondering whats your next act . Me . Reporter will it be political . Yes, you. It will not be political. It definitely will not be. It will be missionbased. It will be servicefocused. Reporter we even talked about the idea of a woman being president. Do you foresee that happening . When should that happen . That should happen as soon as possible. [ applause ] the person who should do the job is the person who is the most qualified. And i think we have some options, dont we . And she left it at that, with those options. Very clear its not going to be her. No. When they leave washington in a couple years. But it was an allday summit. The president spoke. Vice President Biden and his wife spoke. Just had community leaders, industry leaders. And really trying to fix this problem that many people have about that balance and finding that way to make it for all families. That was a great job by you, by the way. It was such a great honest and frank discussion. You should see what we left on the cutting room floor. It was a live stream. Everybody could participate. Great job, robin. Now, to gma at the world cup. Team usas heartbreaking tie was the mostwatched soccer match ever on american tv, with 25 million viewers. The team has been prepping for its next big challenge, thursdays crucial game against germany. And Abcs Paula Faris has the latest from rio. Good morning, paula. Reporter what an intriguing matchup this is going to be, Jurgen Klinsmann, the highest paid soccer coach in american history. And its for games like this thursday against germany, that he will have a chance to earn that salary. Arguably the best Team Remaining in the world cup. Number four for germany. Reporter and the one team usa needs to beat or tie to guarantee a spot in the next round. Usa coach Jurgen Klinsmann knows the german team well. West germany, Jurgen Klinsmann. Reporter a native of the country, he won a world cup for germany in 1990. Then, coached the German National team. And onequarter of the u. S. Squad is made up of players with german ties, like jermaine jones. Klinsmann said the talk of the two countries is undeniable. How do you feel about taking on your native land . It will be a special day. But once the ref starts the game, you just want to compete. Reporter considering coach klinsmann is german, coached the germans, he knows their game plan. Is that a advantage for team usa . A huge advantage. Especially coming in as an underdog. Reporter its not just klinsmanns passport drawing attention. Its also his paycheck. A lofty 2. 5 million per year. Is he worth it . I think so. He played at the highest level. You have that respect. And then, you have this international respect from other players who will come to the United States to play. Reporter klinsmann says his melting pot of a team is up for the challenge. Despite germanys powerhouse reputation. They have a lot of strength. But also, they have weaknesses. And hopefully we find those weaknesses and make it happen for us. Reporter do the germans have a little advantage over the americans . The u. S. Coach said they get an extra day of rest. They did not play in the amazon. And they travel 50 less than the u. S. Team. Michael, all of that could serve as motivation for team usa. Hopefully team usa can get it done. I grew up in germany, paula. Im getting pooled. But im going for usa. Usa, baby. Got to get this done. All right, paula, thank you. You at home can watch the big game between team usa and germany on espn thursday morning at 11 30 eastern. And full slate of action today. Four games on tap on espn. That was really brave. Come out and root for team usa. Yeah. 19 years, george, i spent in germany. Is there some way we could formulate a bet that if you lose, you have to wear lederhosen. What do you wear if i win . Ginger . Im in on that bet. I want to see the lederhosen. Now, we have to get to the local forecast.

The lawyer of one family says hes taking safety into his own hands. Reporter this morning, the parents of a young georgia woman killed in an accident involving one of those defected gm ignition switches are asking why federal safety officials were so slow in recognizing the problem. And today, they and their lawyers will go public with a top15 Early Warning safety watch list, based on auto accident reports. Something they say the government should be doing itself, but is not. It was only after a fatal accident involving this chevy cobalt that it became known that this car and millions of other gm vehicles had a deflective ignition switch that would cut off the power steering. To the outrage of the parents of brooke nelson. It makes me livid. Reporter gm and the National Traffic Highway Safety administration, had received dozens of problems with the cobalt. Power steering failures. But never put it together until after a dozen deaths, ip colluding brookes. Nhtsa knew that there was a car stall. They didnt make it right. Theres all these opportunities that came up. And she died. And she didnt need to die. Reporter the lawyer for Brooke Meltons parents, lance cooper, who was credited with first spotting the defect, has had Safety Experts to pore through reports in the governments database, looking for trends that may or may not be defects, that he says the government is failing to recognize. Its in the databases. For whatever reason, theyre not acquiring it in a way that allows them to determine that there are deflect trends they need to investigate and make others aware of. Reporter number one on the top 15 safety watch list is reported steering problems, of the 2012 ford focus. The countrys bestselling car. They found some 45 reports in the database of injury accidents which drivers said involved steering issues. I lost complete control of the vehicle, wrote one owner to nhtsa. I almost sideswiped cars in other lanes trying to maintain control, wrote soot owner in florida. I held on for dear life, trying to keep it in the lane, wrote an owner in oregon. There is no current government investigation on the 2012 ford focus issues. But the Safety Experts who created the list say the number of complaints on steering issues involving the focus are far greater than would be expected, even for a bestselling vehicle. Were not saying there is a defect with the ford focus. Were saying, this is a top trending problem. Someone needs to investigate this and see why. Reporter the parents of Brooke Melton say they hope this list will mean their daughters death can help prevent others. The only way i know to overcome the pain and make the pain less is to do something positive like this. And try to strive for doing something positive for someone else. Reporter ford says it would move quickly if it thought the data indicated the safety recall was needed. But it does not recognize the methodology used for the top 15 list. As for the government, nhtsa continues to claim it has a good track record for spotting deflects. Despite the criticism, its failed to do so again and again. Brian, thank you so much. If you want to go to goodmorningamerica. Com, and well tell you where to find the 15 warning watch list. And coming up, smoothies, are they really good for you .

Were going to turn to the new report about reading to your kids. Its never too early. A study from the american pediatr pediatrics, says that parents should start when theyre babies. The recommendations really come as we learn that parents who read to their babies improve the vocabulary of their children, starting at 18 months of age. The new recommendations also offer relief to parents or caregivers who may find the endless baby talk a little difficult. And you can read anything to your baby, from the newspaper, to a summer novel, to the infant classics. Just hearing the words . Yeah. Its really a push for this increased literacy, which we know is so important for schoolaged children. But also to combat this dependence on portable social media, which would be anything with a screen. Reading is pretty important. What if you can singing, talking, does that do the same . Its all good. Reading is great for the vocabulary. But singing and talking are also good. And the first three years, if you want to get your practice ready. Its all good.

My dentist has told me your enamel is wearing away, and that sounded really scary to me, and i was like well can you fix it, can you paint it back on, and he explained that it was not something that grows back, its kind of a onetime shot and you have to care for it.

I want to hear what everybody else thinks about this. How badly does robin thicke want his estranged wife back . Hes named his entire upcoming album paula as a tribute to her. And the new video for the song, get her back which we believe is about her. It shows thicke battered and bruised. And it also shows text messages, that may have been exchanges between the two, that are highly personal. Thicke posting a link to the video on facebook. And saying, this is just the beginning.

Im going to go with george on that. Only george can say that. Thank you for saying what we were thinking. Lets face it, people get turned off by funnylooking fruit and veggies. Okay. I hadnt thought about it in a while. But youre right. I think about it all the time, george. Where did that come from . Just in my brain. These are the things that growers know this. And they often discard misshapen produce, which is obviously food waste. In a campaign to fight that, frances Third Largest Supermarket Chain is doing i think this is a fantastic idea. Theyve launched inglorious fruit and veggies. It stars some crazy examples. These are the stars of the campaign. The grotesque apple. Eggplant. And the failed lemon. What theyre doing is creating sections in the store dedicated to misshapen fruit, which is totally fine to consume. And theyre pricing it 30 less. Traffic and the retailers in the fruit and veggie section, up 13 . Less waste. A really funny ad campaign. I get to say ugly fruit and veggies get me down. But they dont anymore. No . Just wanted you to know that. Gentlemen, would you do anything for your wife . Would you carry her through the ends of the world . What about in finland . In the world wifecarrying world championships. This is the most popular carrying technique. Thats called the astonian method. And michael and kelly have actually given this a shot.

Reporter vaccarino says he was diagnosed in college. And tried weekly injections of medication. What was the traditional treatment like . I would get sick the next day. And i started experiencing seizures from these drugs. Reporter but it was this video, a ted talk by dr. Terry walls that vaccarino says turned his life around. A medical doctor with progressive m. S. , once wheelchairbound, changed the way she sate and says she got better. Three months later, i could walk between the exam rooms using one cane. Reporter vaccarino immediately took her advice, by following the paleo diet. Eating only foods that can be hunted and gathered. And eliminating dairy and processed foods. Did your m. S. Symptoms go away . Went away. Completely. It was the diet. Reporter there is some data about a change in diet, helping the disease, it is spores. Theres no evidence that changing ones diet can change the course of multiple sclerosis. Reporter but vaccarino says, he never felt better. And he hopes by sharing his story, he can help others. Chad says dr. Walls is currently trying to raise funding for Clinical Trials based on her protoc protocol. But its part of people using the paleo diet, worried about health. He is symptomfree . He is absolutely symptomfree. And he says how amazing. Next up, wall street journal piece getting a lot of buzz.

Even the crutch of, somebody has a question and we dont know the answer so we check google. Theres caveats. Up next on the heat index, big news for any parent hoping to raise the next world cup superstar. Theres a new study in the International Journal of Sports Medicine say that the children born in the fall, have an advantage. Researchers in the u. K. Studied more than 8,000 children. And found that those born in october and november performed better in running, strength and jumping tests than their peers born at other times of the year. And the study, they believe this is because their moms were pregnant during the summer months. And the extra exposure could account for that athletic ability. Talking to jen ashtons daughter, chloe, heck of a hookie player. Born in november. Its conclusive, now. Anybody born in june is the worst athlete. Jen conquered with what the study was saying about vitamin d. Really . Yeah. Who knew . Im just just the messenger. I do think theres something to it.

Then, drink the 32 ounces. Dont drive over 55. Thats 55 grams of sugar. Theres no reason you should have more than 55 grams of sugar in a smoothie. And number three, dont use a spoon. If youre using a spoon, its dessert. Because its so thick. Ah. Too much ice cream in there. Lets get to the drinks. Were starting here with smoothie king. This is the peanut power plus chocolate smoothie. The problem is its over 1,000 calories. Almost 95 grams of sugar. Its on the fitness blend menu.

And class is back in session for boy meets world fans. The new cast is here. Its called Girl Meets World. Were going to talk to them. Right now, we need to get to robin with a very dear friend. A very dear and special friend, lara. The people who stand by you are your family. And you know and love joan lunden. Longtime cohost of good morning america, with charlie and spencer. Hes been part of our extended family and always will be. Shes chosen to come here this morning, to share something personal with all of us. Its good to see you. Great to see you. What is it you want to share with people . I heard those words that every woman fears and never wants to hear. You have breast cancer. And in the beginning, its such a shock, its a stunner. And you think, i do everything right. I get checked. And im healthy. And for me, im a health advocate. Im all over america talking to women saying, make sure you get all of your checkups all of the time. And in the beginning, you almost feel like, what did i do wrong . And then, i just turned a corner and said, wait a second. Im a health advocate. Not this off. Learn everything you can about this. And go into warrior mode. Thats where you are. Youre in warrior mode right now. Many people have been touched by cancer. Until it is you, and until those words are said to you. You were having your yearly religiously. I have my mammogram every year. And i have dense fibrous tissue. I come out of there. And you come out of there, one more year, im okay. And you go happygolucky into the ultrasound. And she kept going back to one spot. And i said, they found something. And then, they do a core biopsy. And you have to wait. And my husband went in there with me. And i could just tell by her demeanor. The words are almost surreal when you hear you have interest cancer. And you talk about your husband. You have an Incredible Team joan. Theyre by your side. Your children. How important is that to have that support system . When Something Like this happens, you learn just how important it is. And hes a rock. I have one of the best husbands anyone could ever ask for. Hes there every step of the way. And he gives you so much strength. And my three older girls, as people watch over the years. You saw jamie, lindsay and sara grow up. And the little twins. I have twins who are 11 and twins who are 9. And we sat them down and told them. Because we found it early, i was able to tell them that mommys going to be okay. And thats really the bottom line. You know, you cant be afraid of what you might hear because thats what can really cause you real problems. As i said, focus on the fear and not the fright. Thats what youve been doing. Youve already begun treatment. What can you share with us . I have the more aggressive kind. Its going to be the chemotherapy and the surgery and the radiation. And so, ive got that journey ahead. Ive already started. Im doing my chemo. And i wondered how i should go about coming back and contacting. Ive shared my entire life journey with the people on the other side of that camera. It only stood to reason i would share this. Thats when i called you. I know when you called me, joan. And we had that discussion. And you didnt know how or why or should you go public. And then, you realized, that is your lifes work. And you also talked about your father. My dad was a cancer surgeon. When i was about 14, he was returning home from speaking at a cancer conference. And he was killed in our private plane flying home. And i always wanted to grow up and be a doctor just like him because i so admired him. But i couldnt hack the scalpels and stitches and things. I learned that quick. And i said going to bed, if he was looking down, he would say, all right. Youve got this. And you lived your life in front of an audience, use it. Go out, try to inspire and maybe save lives. You dont have to be a doctor with a scalpel to accomplish that. And it changed how i was looking at it. I went from being a victim to being empowered. And having a purpose. Its an odd way to allow me to fulfill his legacy. But so be it. This is how it landed in my lap. It is. You are a messenger. Thats so important. I say make your mess your message. In her book, your mom always said that. Make your mess your message. And amy and i are right here with you. I know. And so is all of your extended family. Just what a privilege to always be in your presence. We are here for you. We wish you all the very best. I feel it when i walk into the studio. So many familiar faces. We love you, joanie. Please keep in touch. Thanks so much. Lets go to the weather. We switch now to weather. You remember that. Lets go to ginger and the weather. Thats the thing. Your family out here, joan, thinking of you, too. We want to begin with some spicy ladies, id say. From louisiana. Youre from where . New iberia. Where tobasco is made. A hot morning out here. Lets get to the forecast. Begin with the photos that i wanted to share with you. A rrted tornado. Its roping out in southern illinois. And the picture from texas, just northwest of dallas.

A lot of the fans who watch boy meets world, grew up with us. Theyre very protective of the show. And theyre nervous about the new show. They want to make sure it sticks to the legacy and has the same tone and tenure. You felt comfortable to be back it does. Its a little different because my character, now, cory, im a dad with two kids. And i dont have kids in real life. Its been a nice learning experien experience. Were having a great time. And we hired a really wonderful cast. And i think everybody is going to like them. And rowan, who plays daughter to cory. What did you know about the show . Did you study the old show . I cant say i grew up with it. You did not. I can tell you didnt. But i mean, i had seen more than a few of the episodes before hand.

Sabrina, you play the best friend . I play maya. Tell me about your character and your role. Maya getting everybody into trouble. Shes the rebel of the bunch. Shes rileys best friend. And taken care of well by the Matthews Family because she doesnt have a totally stable home background. Thats what makes her character so cool is that she has this wild, confident, sarcastic and rebellious side. And the softer side that needs a family. And corey, you play the other part of the trio of best friends, correct . Yeah. I play farkle. He loves learning. And my favorite part of him is his value of friendship. Farkle sounds like a funny name. Im guessing you have fun scenes. Yeah. And hi, august. Hi. How are you . Good. Arent you so cute. How old are you . 6. And you have a little mother in real life .

Coming up, we have the socalled poker princess. The world of highstakes underground poker games involving celebrities and billionaires has been a closelyguarded secret until now. The new book, mollys game just out today, is making headlines with big stories in vanity fair and people magazine. We have molly bloom with us. Thanks for being with us. Thanks for having me. Your boss asked you to host a game shortly after moving to l. A. And it all went from there. In this highstakes world of poker. Who was typically sitting at your table . There was very recognizable faces, such as tony maguire, leo dicaprio, ben affleck. Matt damon once. Matt damon once. And theres an assortment of other people who generally had a pretty high net worth. All those big names. What would you say attracted it most to the game . Was it the celebrities . Was it the money . Was it the thrill of it . I think the first game i went to, just the access to these people who were larger than life, who were successful, who are speaking freely about, you know, business and the movie industry. And it just wasnt the type of access that i was used to. It was fascinating and also lucrative. How much money did you make at your peak . I think my tax returns showed about 4 million. 4 million. And this was mostly cash. You had an incident. When you were banking, your bank said, were not doing business with you anymore. That had to be a huge red flag. You had to leave with bags of cash. Yes. It wasnt all cash. They liquidated my checking account, as well. You walked away with money. But eventually, you lost it all. What happened . Well, the government seized my assets. And i yeah. You didnt have a penny to your name. I did not. When you were taking tips, perfectly legal. When you moved the game here, dealing with billionaires. There was an element of organized crime getting involved, as well. You decided to take a break. And that was a percentage of the pot. And that was illegal. I crossed the line at that point, which was a terrible decision. And i had to pay the consequences for it. Why did you decide to write this book, molly . I decided to write this book because throughout the seven or eight years that i ran these games, i learned a lot of incredible lessons. And you know, about being an entrepreneur and being a woman in a mans world. And i also made some very bad choices. Im hoping that people can get inspired by, you know, sort of pursuing my ambitions bravely. And also learned from the cautionary tale. Trust your gut. Yes. It is a fascinating read. Mollys game out today. Alex rodriguez, was one of the names mentioned in the book, who sat at the table. His spokesman denied his involvement whatsoever. We contacted the other names in the book. And they declined to comment. Well be right back. Give me one reason why i should believe youve really changed. Huh . Okay. Uh, 2hour service windows. Give me another one. Uh, our on time all the time guarantee. One more. Night and weekend appointments. You guys have really changed. Who am i gonna badmouth at parties now . I guess my cousin. Hes so pale.
