Good morning, america. Great to have david here with us again. So, whats this about Michael Phelps and sharks . Somebody saying he may race a shark. Im still trying to figure it out. How do you race in a cage . Thats a good question. Why do you get in the water in the first place. A lot of news to get to including President Trumps big announcement today and well hear from new Jersey Governor Chris Christie as we ask him should the republican congressman leading that russian meddling investigation step aside . How the governor answers that. A lot of questions to answer that but before we get to that well begin with dangerous storms across the south. Take a look at this scene from our dallastation, wfaa, the tornadoes, hail and heavy rain destroying homes, 18 million americans at risk and, ginger, youve been tracking it all. A very strong to severe line of storms blowing through east texas, still well west of houston. But these were the vivid images that grabbed our attention overnight. Those tornadoes, at least 14 reported tornadoes in west texas, plenty of hail and damaging winds still happening this morning. Violent tornadoes cutting across west texas. [ sirens ] oh, my gosh. This twister in stamford ominously hovering nearby. Windshields shattered across the state. In aiken, you can barely see the car headlights through the fog and rain. In seymour, one mother says the hail blew through her back window, the glass injuring her baby girl. I have to take her to urgent care to get that checked out.

You show this every day but this is serious. West of nashville to memphis, this is thursdays threat region, robin and ill have much more coming up in a couple of moments. Thank you. Now to new fallout in the russian republican. Even a republican joining the calls for devin nunes to step aside after that secret meeting on white house grounds. Our Congressional Correspondent mary bruce has more from capitol hill. Good morning, mary. Reporter good morning, robin. Well, this morning the House Committee investigating russias meddling in the election seems to have ground to a halt. Meetings canceled. Hearings postponed but the chairman men devin nunes is standing his ground and faces a new round of questions about russia. This morning the embattled chairman of the House Intelligence Committee isnt going anywhere. Why not recuse yourself from this investigation . I still dont know why. If you guys give me a reason to recuse myself i might consider it. Your critics say youre too close to the Trump Administration to lead this investigation. I dont know that theyve actually said that. Reporter despite even republican concerns, devin nunes is defying calls to recuse himself while the white house is frustrated that questions about russia arent going away. If the president puts russian salad dressing on his salad somehow thats a russian connection. Reporter now theyre pushing back against a report that the white house blocked former acting attorney general sally yates from delivering what could be damaging testimony. To suggest in any way, shape or form that we toad in the way of that is 100 false. Reporter nunes postponed that hearing but says it was not because of pressure from the white house but democrats arent buying it. In this is what a coverup looks like. There are just too many questions about whether he is representing the white house or conducting a fair and independent investigation. Reporter even republicans say its time for nunes to reveal what he knows. To repair the damage i think he owes it to his Committee Members to tell them who he met with and what he saw. Reporter but House Speaker paul ryan, the man with the power over nunes chairmanship is standing by him. Asked if nunes should share his source and recuse himself from the russia investigation, the speaker answered with just three words. No and no. Reporter this morning the white house is facing challenges on another front. The president yesterday signing an executive order to roll back president obamas Climate Change record with the hopes of reviving the coal industry but this morning environmentalists are vowing to fight it. One group describing it as the single biggest attack on Climate Action in u. S. History, period. Mary, the president is saying that executive order is going to create jobs. Do we have any idea how many they say will be saved . Reporter no, we dont, robin. The white house insists this action will create jobs but they wont say exactly how many. Now, those opposing environmentalists say the white house is overselling it. There are currently fewer than 75,000 remaining coal jobs in the u. S. But by comparison, there are more than 650,000 Renewable Energy jobs. Robin. All right, mary, thank you. All right, robin, thanks so much. Joining us now from the white house for more is new Jersey Governor Chris Christie. Good morning. Good to have you back. Good to be back. I know youre at the white house for a new effort. Well get to that in a moment but wanted to tackle the major news. First devin nunes under fire. Youve got democrats calling for him to recuse himself. Republican Lindsey Graham says his objectivity is in question and now the first republican, congressman walter jones averaging him to step aside. Do you think congressman nunes should recuse himself. Thats a very personal decision about what congressman nunes thinks is best to do for him, his constituent answer the good of the investigation. What i will tell you though is that i think the setup in the congress both at the senate Intelligence Committee and House Intelligence Committee has been traditionally bipartisan and i theyll be able to handle it appropriately. Governor, you dont have a problem with the congressman going to the white house first with intel before his own committee and no problem with his mystery meeting on white house grounds just 24 hours before that . Wouldnt have been the way i would have done things but i dont know if that means he has to recuse himself. He has to make that on his own. Health care for americans and the effort to repeal and replace obamacare. It was just a few weeks ago on this issue you said that President Trump is a dealmaker. That he knows how to bring people together and close deals, thats his greatest strength as a leader, you said. Did you overestimate his ability to close the deal on this. Not at all. Listen, the fact is this is far from over. You know, this is their first shot at doing it. Its a very, very important issue to the American People and what matters more than anything else it gets done the right way. The president cant be focused on just one thing. And so well move on to issues like tax reform and rebuilding the infrastructure in our country and taking care of creating jobs all across this nation and those are the things that the American People care about too and dont care just about one issue so the president will do what the president does. But, governor, you know what the critics will say, that republican has seven years to come up with a plan. Was this a major failure . Listen, it didnt go the way they wanted it to go and theres no way to put a sugar coating on that but on the other hand were nine weeks into an administration. Let everybody take a deep breath. You talk about taking a deep breath after this rocky start on health care and the temporary ban blocked and mike flynn out. Whats the one thing you would do at the white house to turn things around . Listen, you know what, im not in the white house and so i really cant answer that question. Ill tell you that my faith and confidence is in the president of the united states. Do you want a job in the Trump White House when your term is up in january . Now, listen, the president and i are great friends. Im doing things like chairing this Opioid Commission for the president , why im here today and ill continue to help him in ways i can but my first important job is to be the governor of the state of new jersey and i love it and been doing it for the last 7 1 2 years. You brought it up. I know youre at the white house to help lead the fight against the Opioid Epidemic in the country. Whats your role . To take a look at what were doing across the entire federal government and country to deal with this epidemic. Just to give People Perspective in the audience, david, in new jersey last year, fuhr finals the number of people died of a Drug Overdose than were murdered. Three times the number of people died of a Drug Overdose than died in an automobile accident. This is killing our families in every corner of our country. I do want to ask you about part of the president and speaker ryans Health Care Bill that would have eliminated the requirement that medicaid cover basic addiction services. Was that a good idea. As i said at the time with the bill, it was the beginning of a negotiation. That bill is going to go back to the stat and be worked on then in a Conference Committee if it moves the way it was going to move. The bottom line, what American People want is to stop paying the skyrocketing premiums they have from obamacare and dont want the government controlling what doctor they see and when and we know that obamacare has not worked. And so it took the president of the united states, president obama, 15 months to get obamacare negotiated and passed. Were talking about 60 some days here. So, you know, were not going to micro analyze every one of these things. The president believes in this issue. He believes that the American People respect struggling with an addiction that they need help. And i know this president will stand behind helping those people and hell make sure the government does as well. Thats part of my job to give him the suggestions he needs along the commission were setting up to tackle this for real American Families every day. Thats exactly what the president will do and wont back down in governor, its reported youve been working with the president s soninlaw Jared Kushner on this opioid effort. Many who follow the campaign know that you prosecuted squareds father, helped send him to prison for a time. Now working with his son. Has that been tense . Not at all. Listen, that stuff aancient history. Its over 12 years ago and jared and i have worked incredibly well on this issue and by the way on a whole bunch of other issues during the campaign, and so we are working hard because we know our job is to try to make sure that this white house is successful as it can be for the people of this country who elected donald trump to bring change to our country and bring change to this town and anything i can do to help i will and jared and i get along just great. Governorer, good luck in your role of fighting on the Opioid Epidemic. So Many Americans do need the help. Thank you. Thank you very much. They do need the help and this white house is going to step up to help them . Perhaps one of the things americans can really agree on. I think so. That they need to tackle this. Youre right, david. Now to Hillary Clinton back in the spotlight. The former president ial candidate taking aim at the Trump Administration in a rare public appearance since the campaign. Abcs senior White House Correspondent cecilia vega has those details for us. Good morning, cecilia. Reporter good morning. Hillary clinton has kept a low profile since her loss. She said that she had a lot of time over the past few months to think about everything during those long walks in the woods and she is coming out swinging hitting her old opponent on everything from health care to diversity in his administration. Hillary clinton overnight wading back into the politics of the day. Womens representation in the Current Administration in washington, for example, is the lowest its been in a generation. Reporter her tough talk on her old foering her a standing ovation from business women in san francisco. And there is no place id rather be than here with you other than the white house. Reporter the former secretary of state in a rare center stage appearance after losing the presidency to donald trump in november. Sure, the last few months havent been exactly what i eninvestigated although i do know what im still fighting for. Reporter clinton not holding back. Cheering the failure of the republican Health Care Bill. When congress and the administration tried to jam through a bill that would have kicked 24 Million People off their health insurance, defunded planned parenthood, jeopardized access to affordable birth control, deprived people with disabilities and the elderly and Nursing Homes of essential care, they were met with a wave of resistance. Reporter she also took aim at a lack of diversity in washington calling out photos like this, a sea of male lawmakers in the Trump White House and it didnt end there. Clinton taking a jab at this Contentious Exchange yesterday between White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer and journalist april ryan. No, i well, no, thats i appreciate your agenda here its not an agenda. Hold on. At some point report the facts. The facts are every Single Person who has been briefed on this subject has come away with the same conclusion. Republican, democrat, so im sorry that disgusts you. Youre shaking your head. I appreciate reporter clinton calling spicer patronizing. Too many women, especially women of color have had a lifetime of practice taking precisely these kinds of indignities in stride. But why should we have to . Reporter so, i reached out to an aide close to clinton and asked if all of this signals new political ambition, the response, quote, this is a woman who isnt going to stand by and watch other women be bullied, insulted and demeaned. Michael, i will leave it to you guys to read those tea leaves. Wow, left the door open right there in my opinion. Feels like four months ago all over again. Here we go. You know, now to that terrifying moment for passengers for a plane that went up in flames in peru. David kerley has the latest on the investigation. Good morning to you, david. Reporter good morning, michael. This is incredible video showing the seconds after an emergency fire and at response of firefighters and passengers and we can all learn something from this. Watch this. The peruvian boeing 73apparently made that Emergency Landing and veered off the runway to the right side and flames. You can see the passengers evacuating over the wing, jumping off that wing, the slides deployed and then it appears that the fuel leaking from that right side had gone all tou saw the fire truck come in and start to put that fire out. They were within the scene within a couple of seconds and passengers did move across the runway away from the jet as the firefighters worked. No serious injuries reported according to the airline and, michael, this is why when youre told to leave your bag behind and get out quickly, you get out quickly. You dont know if that fuel tank is going to explode. Those are some remarkable pictures and shows how to evacuate an aircraft. Your hurt. Thank you very much.

It does and for olympic athletes the training they endure is rigorous and intense and now there are claims young girls in the u. S. Gymnastics program were subjected to sexual abuse at the hands of their team doctor. They were in control of taking my dream away in a second. I trusted you but i was sexually abused as were so many other athletes. Reporter some of the best competitors in their sport but retired championship gymnast jamie howard and Jamie Dantzscher are speaking out against the organization that failed to protect them. Dr. Nasr acted me as the good guy prompting me relief from the pain. In actuality he expertly abused me under the guise of treatment. Reporter dr. Larry nassar worked for 18 years for usa gymnastics. The governing body for the sport in the u. S. He is seen here in this iconic photo helping kerri strug at the 96 atlanta games. Dantzscher testified about nasrs alleged abuse before the Senate Judiciary Committee Tuesday joining others with similar stories to support a new bill aiming to protect Young Athletes reporting sexual abuse. Dr. Nassar abused me at the Training Center in texas. He abused me in california and all over the world many times in my own room in my own bed. Worse, he abused me in my hotel room in sydney at the olympic games. This guy is disgusting and hes a monster. Reporter nassar is facing 2 michigan where he ran a clinic at michigan additional state charges stemming from alleged incidents involving a minor at hisnassar.

Yo with congress about the verbal and Emotional Abuse you usa gymnastics when you were there and can you give us what went on. Well, there was thishat perm entire womens elite program for many, many years. There was a control factor. There was this sense of we cant speak up because our Olympic Dreams are held in these coa coaches hands and these people are the most powerful people in usa gymnastics and they make the decisions if you are put on a World Championship team, if you are put on an olympic team, if you get an international assignment, and anyone that didnt comply to the rules at the ranch where you had no parents there to speak up for you, you had coaches, but coaches were also afraid at times to speak up because they would take it out on the athlete if they somehow, you know, broke ranks so this culture permeated every aspect of our lives and it was really a culture of fear. We could not speak up and defend ourselves if we saw injustices or any wrongdoing because we were all afraid and we had this big olympic dream, who wants to throw that away by speaking up and so now you are hearing a lot more voices because women are coming out in the hundreds by dr. Nassars victims, so right now youre seeing a lot more courage in women coming forward. Ive been speaking up about abuse for ten plus years and now, you know, im happy to see women coming forward. What do you think is what do you believe is at the center of this culture of abuse . Well, i believe the center was always revolved around money and medals so the athletes welfare was put in second place or third at times. Thats never okay when youre in a sport and dealing with youth, that is never okay. The welfare of the child athlete is always number one. And we can still be successful and treat our athletes in a more humane wap. Youre advocating for change so what do you think needs to be done to make a change to the system . Well, firstly i would encourage all the viewers to contact their senators and have support for the passing of this bill to protect all children in youth sports. This bill is going to cross a wide range in all youth sports for anyone to become a mandatory reporter if you suspect any type of abuse, not just sexual and thats huge. That would be a lot of support in the right direction. Secondly, we need to make sure we are educating our community, do you know that nobody that i know of in our community is educated in predator grooming or in abusive methods and methodologies . So we have to educate our community to be aware of predator grooming. Thank you very much, dominique. We really appreciate you. Thank you very much. Trying to get the word out for ten years.

Reporter the oscar winner even reveals a personal story from the set of her 2008 movie brideshead revisited. There was a wonderful actress i was working with and the producers said to her, will you lose some weight . She was absolutely exquisite. And i said, to them, if you speak to her about this again on any level, i will leave this picture. You are never to do that. Reporter each time that a celebrity speaks up and says, this issue is important, i am more than my looks, she says something very important about women and girls all over the world. Thompson joins many actresses who have spoken out on the issue of Unrealistic Expectations in the industry. Just last week lena dunham told ellen no matter her size she is always criticized. I was frustrated because i was like it really was evidence that i was a woman in hollywood you just cant wayne.

Temperatures in the 40 its breezy. Grab the jacket. It will still be cool enough to have some sort of coat on. Not a bad day. Tomorrow sun giving way to high clouds. Less wind 55 and then friday not a great day, gray, 48 and periods of rain, some of it steady. Are you right now with jennifer . Time to go back inside the Metabolic Chamber this morning. Were seeing how fitness track and calculators stack up. Mara spent 23 hours in that room and you have more information. Good morning, guys. There are tons of app, products and websites that claim to be able to tell you your metabolism, bmi and how many calories youre burning but just how much can you count on those calculations and could they actually be derailing your weight loss efforts . Theyre the tech tools for weight loss. Online calculators and wearable trackers measuring your fitness and calorie burn. But just how accurate are they . Everything online equations and, you know, devices, they only predict an estimate so its a rough guesstimation. Reporter we compared their findings with the most precise measuring device available. This room, the Metabolic Chamber at mt. Sinai st. Lukes hospital. I spent 23 hours inside. Im stuck in here for the next day. To determine exactly how many calories i burned. By measuring my oxygen consumption and Carbon Dioxide production. First up my resting Metabolic Rate. Basically my metabolism. The calories my body burns just to function. Handling things like breathing and pumping blood. I use three Popular Online calculators that look at things like your height and weight. One finding my metabolism is 1 w. 346 challengeries a day. Another finding its 13,45. One calculating its 1670. But the chamber says for me those are all off. My true resting Metabolic Rate almost 1800 calories a day. That shocks me. Much higher than i expected it to be. If this is what you do when youre not eating enough over time your body will slow down its metabolism. Reporter next calculating my bmi considered one of the best indicators of weightrelated health. According to online calculators mine is 25. 6 in the overweight category. But after determining my exact body fat percentage using this body pod, doctors atst sinai st. Lukes found my real bmi is actually lower, 23. 4, well within the healthy range. Why . Because online calculators dont account for muscle mass. Just take a look. These two people have the same bmi, but clearly very different body compositions. Its very, very important but it has major limitation. Reporter last we compare our results with three popular fitness trackers. According to the chamber i burned a total of 3,240 calories in 23 hours. But all of the trackers significantly overestimated that number. One off by 200 calories, another off by 300. The last saying i burned 624 calories more than i actually had. People need to realize that they may be burning less than when they actually think they are. Now, since we first started airing these pieces three weeks ago a lot of people have been reaching out to me asking if they can do this. The bad news is it is very expensive and its only in new york. The good news is there are places around the country that offer similar services, you have to search for Metabolic Testing and you can find places locally that will help you. Explain again how the chamber work. Basically its measuring how youre breathing so its your oxygen consumption and Carbon Dioxide production. Since its vacuum sealed it is measuring temperature and humidity and giving you a completely accurate analysis without any predicting. Really interesting on the bmi. Put those two images next to each other. If youre muscular you might be better off than you think. Bmi is fascinating. Only measuring height and weight and doesnt take muscle mass into account. Muscle is heavier than fat so a body builder may have the bmi of one who is obese when clearly theyre the picture of health. It is just one indicator of health. You cant put too much stock in those numbers. Doesnt paint the whole picture. Thats going to be my excuse. Sticking to it. Sticking to it but im our kus for you. You got the results. Are you doing anything differently. I am. You know, the biggest thing for me was how many calories im burning. They told me i wasnt eating enough and slowing down my metabolism. Thats great news, right . Thats great news. If you find out you can eat more. I like that. Mara was saying literally you doubled your portions of healthy food. If i might have a fourounce serving of salmon now ill have nine ounces and full day day. Its fantastic. Doesnt mean double the cookies. Or wine. Jon bon jovi, katie holmes, jenna elfman, all here live. [ applause ] good morning, im tamala edwards. Eight 27 on this wednesday march 29th. Lets head to karen rogers. Shes still watching a spot in south jersey. Good morning. Thats right. That fatal accident had i195 westbound closed for three hours. It is now reopened just the left lane is blocked o you can see how jammed traffic is. Its jammed from and exit eight to exit five. Thats the exit for 130 so at least traffic is moving again but you might want to stick to route 33 to avoid i195 in Hamilton Township new jersey. This is a look at 42. All morning long 42 has been extra heavy. A 30 minute ride. Thats a long time for 42 from the a. C. Expressway just to get to 295. We had an earlier accident blocking a lane but the delays just keeps on continuing there on route 42. This is. I 95 northbound at the Commodore Barry bridge where we have an accident blocking the two left lanes. You could see police and emergency workers all here on the scene and only one lane gets by. So i95 northbound really backed up approaching the Commodore Barry bridge with two lanes being blocked. We now have fire crews on the scene as well. Vine extra heavy westbound as you head towards the schuylkill, too, tam in thank you, karen. Lets head out to meteorologist, david murphy were done with the rain at least for a little while. Yeah, we are. Sunshine starting to break out too although its still a battle across the match th majof the region. More sunshine as the day goes on but breezy on the cool side. Tomorrow less wind high clouds 55 the high. Chilly on friday with a high of 48, gray rain arriving during the day and rain could be soaking at times especially later in the day and the at night. And then a damp start on friday quickly gives way to drying and some late day sun, 59 the high and sunday, tam, is looking great, partly sunny and 61 degrees. Little bit of a jacket morning this morning but we are starting to get brighter. Thank you david. Coming up on Gma Jack Hannah shows up with some of his fun animals. Well see you back here in 30.

Could you imagine frank coming out and giving a commencement speech. But, you know, this idea, its such a joyous time in america and for all the kids that are entering the real world and done with all their schooling and so i know having two kids graduating college this year, the joy that families that have gone through the years with their children getting ready for this moment and the idea that we would come by and were starting this promotion today.

You had somebody else with you. Somebody they not only have a very special friend, imaginary mary costars with us right there. Come on. [ cheers and applause ] so excited. So, can you explain to our audience a little about mary and the show idea. Yes, so, we always have a competition of who could be the most succinct in their description with the cast. Okay, so my character is a very successful pr for athletes. I like that. And but, you know, her childhood, her parents fought, it was kind of nasty, divorce and they were never there for her so she created this Imaginary Friend when she was 6 to kind of get her through then it went away when she became an adult. Does not want to have a relationship, doesnt want to have kids. Thats a bad area for her. Doesnt want anything to do with it then falls in love with this guy despite herself and hes divorced with three kids. And so everything she fears and that makes her uncomfortable comes slamming up into her face and in this moment of stress, she her Imaginary Friend comes back and its kind of like her good inner voice, her bad inner voice but really its a family show and its this love story, his kids are charming and unique and little oddballs and its this journey of my character finding out what is a relationship and who am i as an expanded version of this . Taking chances. Becoming a real woman. That was a wonderful description. Does everybody want to see more . You have an hour . [ cheers and applause ] canceling would have been hard to explain. They are super suspicious and awful with change. They sound great. So, what should we do. Disney world. Fly to disney world. Thats a big swing. More of a huge vacation than a first meet. Gun range. Gun range. Gotcha. Something a crazy person would suggest. I meant to say burgers. Perfect. Maybe some mini golf. Sounds fun. Sounds awful. [ cheers and applause ] this has to be wonderful gli challenging because not really there. Not really there, how do you do that. Thats what interested me about the project. When were rehearing we have a lifesize puppet and a puppeteer who is talented and comedic actress on set doing the lines for rehearsal. You have to figure out where youre moving in the scene. Then they take her away when we film and i have to remember all the eye lines as shes moving and act with the other actors and remember where she is and kind of do stuff with her while engaging in physical comedy with the kids, physical comedy with mary and i just was like at this point in my career it was like a nice extra challenge where im kind of pulling out all my tools, you know and i was like, wow, really engaged on set and i like the challenge.

Do you draw inspiration from that. Yes, i draw so much inspiration from her, from her whole life. What she how she influenced style, how she influenced bringing so much to the white house when she was there, so many artists were supported by her, and definitely with everything that she went through, she was so focused on keeping her children safe, protected and loved and really fulfilling their own dreams and she had such an elegance. She did have such an elegance. You know, first ladies, very important work but you said also, yes, we think of her fashion and other things like that and there was one particular piece of her jewelry, her watch that you were really struck by.

I fought for that cartier. Did you have to give it back . No, i didnt. Thats the best part. That is the best part. I love that about you, katie. Also what i really am so happy about you directed one of the episodes and last time you were here you were making your directorial debut in a feature film. Is this a new still stay in their area as well as acting. I do. I really enjoy it. And being a part of directing this miniseries was really exciting. It was very different from the movie that i directed. And i felt so supported by john casar was the other director on this and he directed our first kennedy miniseries so he really was a great partner and mentor and it was a different style than my movie so it was. I really enjoy working with the actors and, you know, getting different shades of a performance out of people. I really appreciate how you continue to challenge yourself and find different ways to do that. Now, i have to say im not a stalker but i do follow you on instagram. I love the pictures and you said you thought the kennedy, they would be great on social media. That they would be posting in that. I think they i think that they would be. I think, you know, joe kennedy was great at that, at getting jack into the office and i think that they were just very good at media at that time and they were the first he was the first president to let cameras into the white house so im sure they would have adjusted with social media as we have all been trying to do. We will, thank you, as always. Your presence in that and just really very happy for everything that continues to go your way. [ cheers and applause ] thank you.
