The latest out of washington. President trump is heading to capitol hill this afternoon to meet with republican senators and make a push on tax reform. Hes promising thought to make changes to 401 k plans. And there are new developments in the russia investigation. Sources tell abc news that the president s longtime personal attorney will also be on capitol hill today for a closed door interview by the house intelligence committee. And serious questions are growing about that deadly ambush that killed four special forces troops. Our chief Global Affairs correspondent Martha Raddatz is in washington with new reporting on this. Good morning, martha. Reporter good morning, robin. It is a shock to many that the u. S. Has some 800 troops serving in niger, most at a drone base but nearly 100 there to assist nigers military in countering isis and al qaeda and it is isis, the military believes, that killed those four americans. This morning, chilling new details about that the ambush that left four American Special operations soldiers dead in niger. A Senior Intelligence official telling abc news it started as a routine reconnaissance mission, a convoy of six to eight vehicles, three american, traveling to a local village. But after they completed that mission, a new order came through, a dramatic change in plans, the team now told to kill or capture one of the top isis targets in niger. They never find the target. But on their way back to base after being awake for nearly 24 hours, the group stopping in a remote village, a survivor of the ambush telling abc news something is off. A village elder tries to stall them. And leaving the town, the attack, 50 terrorists are upon them. The team taking fire from rocket propelled grenades and machine guns. One disabled by gunfire. U. S. Forces waiting for more than an hour to call for help. Within minutes a u. S. Drone overhead but it appears the troops waited about an hour before calling in french warplanes that arrived an hour later. In about two hours after the initial contact was made, the initial french mirages arrived overhead. Reporter as night falls two wounded u. S. Troops are evacuated. So are the bodies of the three u. S. Soldiers killed in action. But Sergeant La David Johnson is still missing. Why did it take time to find and recover Sergeant Johnson . Again, these are all fair questions that the investigation is designed to identify. Reporter his body would not be recovered for another 48 hours. But that survivor telling abc news Sergeant Johnson was, quote, grabbing every weapon available to him to fight and was, quote, a beast. His widow speaking on gma to george yesterday demanding answers. I dont know how he got killed, where he got killed or anything. I dont know that part. They never told me and thats what ive been trying to find out since day one. Reporter general dunford says the pentagon is working hard to get those answers for mrs. Johnson and the other families, one major question, why would those special operations soldiers be sent on a new Dangerous Mission without backup. George. Thanks, martha. We are joined by the chair of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee senator bob corker. Thank you for joining us this morning. We heard martha say a lot of people are shocked to learn we have almost a thousand troops right now in niger. As chair of the Foreign Relations committee do you understand what america is doing there and do americans know what we need to know about that mission . Well, george, weve receive congressional notification earlier this year we had 600 troops there. I know those grow over time and i visited the area. Theres a tremendous amount of extremism were countering. Those details about the mission we dont know but we do know in the general area there are a lot of people that wish us harm so throughout this we have a large number of forces. So we should be there. Look, yes, now let me say this, george, a week from yesterday ill begin debate about the use of force. Whats happening through the years these efforts have spread throughout the World Without a lot of congressional input and i know senator mccain and others and myself want to make sure congress is playing the appropriate role lets move on to tax reform. President trump is heading to capitol hill to talk to you and other Senate Republicans about that. Yesterday he seemed to take any reform of 401 k s off the table. Are you confident hes got the will and the skill and the commitment to get this done . George, i havent seen that yet. Theres about 4 trillion in loophole closings, credits, all kinds of things that youre very familiar with in the tax code that have to be closed forward to do what has been laid out so theres you know, its easy to talk about cutting peoples rates and doing this, the things that benefit people, but the spendage if you will is in doing all these reforms which makes doing your taxes much more simple and what the American People have asked for for years but if you start taking things off the table before you get started you make that very difficult and so what i hope is going to happen is the president will lead this effort, if you will to the tax writing committees and let them do their work and not begin taking things off the table that ought to be debated in the committees at the proper time. You said you wont vote for a tax bill that increases the deficit. According the tax plan its hard to know. Theyre probably increase it by 2 billion. When i asked Steve Mnuchin heres what he said. We believe there will be 2 trillion of additional growth and believe it will cut the deficit by a trillion dollars and thats with a conservative 2. 9 gdp over the tenyear period of time. Do you buy that explanation that growth will pay for this . Well, well see, george. As you know, not all tax reform is equal and so well have to see. Obviously we need to look at scoring mechanisms and go through the process. I we have the greatest threat to our nation is not whats happening in Northern Africa or whats happening in north korea or any other places. Its really us, george. Our inability to deal with our fiscal issues with 20 trillion in debt and another 10 trillion in current projections. You had tough words many for President Trump and compared the white house to an Adult Daycare Center and perhaps putting us on a path to world war ii and say most of your colleagues agree with you behind closed doors. Any regrets about those. I dont make comments i havent thought about. The first was obvious in response to a fallacious tweet that the president sent out. The second comment really when you look at the fact that weve got this issue in north korea and the president continues to kneecap his diplomatic representative, the secretary of state, and really move him away from successful diplomatic negotiations with china, which is key to this, youre taking us on a path to combat, and so, you know, i want to support these efforts that are under way. The president undermines our secretary of state, raises tensions in the area by virtue of the tweets that he sends out and i would just like for him to leave it to the professionals and see if we can do something constructive to are our country, the region and the world. Sounds like no second thoughts. Thanks. Leave it to the professionals. All right, george. Turning to a group of teens facing murder charges in michigan for throwing rocks from an overpass killing a driver below. Adrienne bankert is here with the story. Good morning, adrienne. Reporter good morning. Yes, this was a callous stunt. The county prosecutor describes this as a willful and wanton act. Authorities say after throwing rocks and large chivengs of concrete off that overpass the group went to mcdonalds. Five michigan teens between the ages of 15 and 17 have been charged with Second Degree murder in the death of 32yearold kenny white. After the teens threw a rock at his car on this michigan overpass. Something came through the windshield and hit a friend. Hes now unconscious. Reporter the group allegedly playing a game called dinging. Tossing rocks over this bridge on interstate 75 in the hopes to hear the ding sound a rock makes when it strikes a piece of metal. White a father of four was driving home from his construction job when he was struck through the windshield. The sixpound rock hitting him in the head killing him. Still cant figure out what goes through someones head to want to just go out and throw stuff off of a bridge. Reporter four other cars were hit that day including india reeves. Her tire was flattened. Im lucky i guess to still be alive. Why would someone want to hurt innocent people . Reporter 20 rocks were found along the highway. We have a family whose guy has a fiancee, a child, hes on his way back from a hard days work and out of the blue comes a rock and loses his life. Just senseless. Whites fiancee tearfully describing how she had to tell her 5yearold son his father had been killed. The teens will be charged as adults and could face life in prison in convicted. Sixpound rock. How do you not know thats going to cause harm. Now theyll face the consequences. Boy, they should. Thanks very much. We move to a bird strike that forced a jetblue flight to flow at a low altitude and diverted to a new location and david kerley is at Los Angeles International airport with the story. Good morning, david. Reporter good morning, george. The pilots knew they hit a good size bird when they took off from the airport. But they didnt want to land immediately because their a320 was heavy with fuel. Overnight a jetblue aircraft took off right into trouble. We felt a pretty good jolt. Reporter the boston to las of birds with its left engine. The flight with 144 passengers declares an emergency, attempts to return back to boston but is denied because of weather. Instead, the flight rerouted to new yorks jfk forced to fly at a low altitude of just 3700 feet. This flight radar image showing the plane as it heads towards jfk but then its caught in a Holding Pattern for nearly an hour. With bird flocks increasing in size in recent years so have the number of bird striebls. On touchdown we had a bird strike. Reporter in 2016 birds hit this jetblue plane and two hours later birds ran into a singapore a380 one of the largest jets flying. Theres a big flock of birds. Reporter of course, the most famous bird strike of all, resulted in what is called a miracle. Hit birds. Weve lost thrust on both engines. Reporter when sully sullenburgary jet took off he lost both engines to bird strikes landing in the hudson river. When this incident yesterday the reason they circled jfk was to burn off fuel. The diverse was out of an abundance of caution and all the passengers were reaccommodated. Robin. Glad everything worked out. All right there, david, thank you. Now to los angeles where the heat is on, my friends. Literally and figuratively. Game one of 9 world series tonight. Temperatures are soaring and as we mentioned, its going to be the hottest series ever and our Senior National correspondent lucky duck matt gutman is there at Dodger Stadium for game one. Good morning. Reporter i dont know how lucky. Its going to be 98 degrees here at first pitch. That would make it the hottest first game of the world series ever. Now, thats 52 degrees warmer than it was in cleveland for the first game last year. Hearing a lot of jokes from players about it being a dry heat but not a lot of complaints, Justin Turner that famous red bearded first baseman said he would definitely prefer playing in the heat than the snow. Both are warm weather teams so shouldnt affect them that much. The biggest effect could be on the baseball which travels much farther in heat than cold weather. Not many people foe that. Baseball science for you. The astros hot offense. Dont let the frame fool you. Little 56 jose. Tell people how great he is. The shortest player in the big leagues. He is 56, probably a nudge shorter, maybe 55 but probably has the biggest bat and heart. The heart and soul of that astros team. He also slugged three home runs against the boston red sox. This guy is a monster having a huge postseason, now, i want you to see this picture of him against aaron judge. Thats his biggest challenger for the al mvp. Hes more than 13 inches and outweighs him by 120 pounds. A great pic. Matt, enjoy despite the heat us have a good time. Thank you. No one should be surprised by jose. No, not at all. Yes, and that heat is just all because of a strong case of the santa ana winds. That off shore flow also causing the red flag warnings. When you take the humidity down like that and its that hot you have really high fire danger for much of Southern California. The other thing i want to mention, it was 102 in l. A. Yesterday, 99 breaking a record in san diego. Some of those gusts could go 30 plus Miles Per Hour as the temperatures soar above 100 again much lets get to the tuesday trivia brought to you by downey.

Well begin with that massive manhunt for a suspected serial killer on the loose in florida. Police hoping to speak with a person in Surveillance Video. After three people were shot to death in tampa. Abcs Victor Oquendo is there and, victor, its understandable the community is on edge this morning. Good morning. Reporter absolutely and good morning, robin. Police asking us once again to come to the station this morning. They did not want us in that neighborhood overnight. Tampas mayor doing what he can to reassure the public saying they added a thousand streetlights to the Seminole Heights neighborhood and wont stop until that killer is caught. We will hunt this son of a [ bleep ] down until we find him. Reporter overnight tampa police on the hunt for a killer after the shooting deaths of three people in ten days. Nobody comes into our house and does this. Not now, not ever. Reporter authorities poring over this grainy Surveillance Video for clues looking at this person of interest walking alone wearing a hood on the night of the first killing. Not releasing much information about evidence but insisting the killings are connected and asking the community for help. What we need you to do is Pay Attention to whats going on in your neighborhood. Everybody at this point is a suspect. If youre out there walking alone, youre either a suspect or a potential victim. Reporter the three victims gunned down less than half a mile apart. Two, Benjamin Mitchell and Anthony Naiboa killed near bus stops. The third victim, monica hoffa was walking to a friends home, her body discovered in an empty lot. Americas most wanted host john walsh spent 25 years chasing down fugitives.

Reporter walsh says he sees similarities between these shootings to the d. C. Sniper shootings. John allen muhammed and low malveaux critically wounding three others. Why this killer reminds me of the beltway sniper and d. C. Serial killer is it seems to be a person that comes out at night to kill. Its someone killing for the thrill of it. Reporter with halloween just days away were told the plans are in place, a huge police presence. Adults being asked to accompany their children but should note this killer doesnt go after people in groups but people who are alone. Robin. Keep that in mind, victor. Lets bring in lenny depaul former chief inspector with the Marshal Service and dan abrams. Lenny, you have a lot of experience here. What are investigators focusing on. Right now, robin, its a pretty chaotic scene. Three people that have been killed in the past two weeks. Theyre knocking on door, q aing people and signal intelligence looking at cctv if theres any video on the block, surveillance cameras in peoples homes and whatnot. Theres certainly skwausd knocking on door, k and aing and the streets like to talk so 25,000 reward out there. Yeah, might get some intel that way. Okay, well, what we see going on here and, of course, the community is on edge but authorities are confident that theres a link here. So theyve got to balance something which is theyve got to balance neighborhood awareness with investigative integrity. Meaning they want people to know and yet they dont want to give away too much and theyve got to balance those two things. I dont think we know everything they know. Heres what we do know. We do know the time of when it happened. We do know the consistent connection to buses. We know who the victims were and my guess is that they are looking for example for a connection to something with bus, a former employee, for example, theyd be looking at why are they targeting bus riders. Is it totally random . Maybe but thats going to be something theyre looking at an i promise you there is Something Else that they have that theyre not disclosing because what they want to do is prevent the crackpots who call call in in these highprofile cases and say, oh, i know something about this. And they want to narrow it down to say, wait a sec, how did this person know that detail . That person really must know something. Lenny knows this all too well. And not only that, it seems like its more of a run and gun. Not an armed robbery. Its close. Hes not spending or shes not spending any time with the victims. Run and gun. Theyre being ambushed. Is this person on the bus. Is he following them . You know, its the Million Dollar questions right now. Hopefully Law Enforcement is all over this and has the answers to these question, but right now theyre chasing a ghost. That video that they have is critical. I mean, you know, weve seen the Surveillance Video. We dont know that this person is connected, right . But the fact that they have a video like this at their releasing and saying, hey, wed like to talk to this person at the very least. Thats a really big comply and athis comes from the first incident and have had it out there for some time and havent been able to get a definitive link yet. Its such a tough spot when dan was alluding to because as a public you want as much information as possible but as officers, you got to hold something back. You have to. I mean its unfortunate. You cant be that transparent. You know, right now, residents in the area are sleeping with one eye open. Theyre scared to death. Keep your lights on. Keep your dog out back, whatever. If you see something, Say Something, obviously. But they cant get too much out there because they dont its a juggling act right now. Theyre trying to put that puzzle together, connect the dots and dont want interference if you will at this point. Hopefully theyll be able to connect those dots stand, lenny, dan. George. Bill oreilly speaks out about that bombshell new report. His 32 million settlement. And another Harvey Weinstein accuser comes forward, his former assistant. a bushel by doris day whispering im on the phone towel please laughing while other Insurance Companies just see a house, state farm sees the home youve worked really hard for.

Pour two thirds a cup of cold heavy cream into a one cup canning. Snickers® satisifes. We are back with the latest on that Harvey Weinstein scandal. Mgm dail and George Clooney made headlines with michael yesterday as hollywood starts to band together to fight this. Law enforcement also taking a look at multiple companies and, amy, this is really spreading with new revelations also about bill oreilly and a focus on n nondisclosure agreements. New yorks top prosecutor is looking into whether the Weinstein Company violated civil and human right laws by using n nondisclosure agreements to handle harassment allegations and, yes, as reports come out about bill oreillys settlement, well, he is fighting back. This morning, bill oreilly is firing back against a New York Times report that he settled a Sexual Harassment claim from knox news legal analyst lis wiehl for a staggering 32 million. The former tv host speaking out overnight on his online radio show no spin news. Am i mad at god . Yeah, im mad at him. I wish i had more protection. I wish this stuff didnt happen. I cant explain it to you. Yeah, im mad at him. Reporter oreilly telling the conservative radio host glenmorangie beck the damning reports meant to silence him. The end game is lets link oreilly with Harvey Weinstein. Lets make him that. All right, so we take him out of the marketplace forever. He never gets to give his opinion on issues again burton are you wiehl is sworn to silence. Oreilly paying out the massive settlement in exchange for a n nondisclosure agreement from wiehl in january. Its to protect both parties. Protect the company from disparaging comments by the employee and also to protect the employee or the former employee from disparaging comments that might be made by exboss or supervisor. Reporter Harvey Weinsteins namesake business is taking a hit for settlements requiring a n nondisclosure agreement as the accusations of Sexual Harassment and abuse against the movie mogul pile up with nearly 60 women coming forward. Former weinstein assistant Zelda Perkins saying her boss would ask for massage, walk around naked and try to pull her into his bed. She purposely broke the agreement she signed telling the newspaper unless somebody does this, there wont be a debate about hows greerjs these agreements are and the amount of duress victims are put under. New yorks attorney general launching a civil rights investigation into the Weinstein Company subpoenaing all documents relating to Sexual Harassment complaints. The Attorney Generals Office telling abc news, no one should be forced to balk into a workplace ruled by sexual intimidation, harassment or fear. Claims of Sexual Harassment carry the possibility of punitive damages. Somebody as wealthy as mr. Weinstein those numbers can be very large. Now, george, several employees at the Weinstein Company are being are asking to be released from those n nondisclosure agreements that they can detail the harassment they say they suffered at that company. That puts them in a tough spot. A lot more will come forward with details if they choose to do so. Something coming up on gma, diane sawyer will sit down with ashley judd. Her First Television interview since she went public with those allegations against Harvey Weinstein. As you remember she was one of the first to come forward. You can see the interview thursday right here on gma. Robin. We are looking forward to that. Coming up why fans are demanding justice. Justice for janet. Will she get a chance back on the super bowl stage with Justin Timberlake . Justin for janet. Justice. Ter a dvt blood clot. I sure had a lot on my mind. My 30year marriage. My 3month old business. Plus. What if this happened again . I was given warfarin in the hospital, but wondered, was this the best treatment for me . So i made a point to talk to my doctor. He told me about eliquis. Eliquis treats dvt and pe blood clots and reduces the risk of them happening again. Not only does eliquis treat dvt and pe blood clots. Eliquis also had significantly less major bleeding than the standard treatment. Eliquis had both. And that turned around my thinking. Dont stop eliquis unless your doctor tells you to. Eliquis can cause serious and in rare cases fatal bleeding. Dont take eliquis if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding.

But nobody has an opening for months you cant always control your feelings. Oh, i found one innetwork next tuesday. But unitedhealthcare can help you control your care. Thanks, stephanie. Unitedhealthcare all right. Buckle up. Back with our big board. The backlash growing over the super bowl halftime show. Of course, a lot of excitement for Justin Timberlake, of course, but there are questions why Janet Jackson isnt also headlining. Might have something to do with that 2004 wardrobe malfunction. The last time they were both on stage and now fans using justiceforjanet demanding she return too. Diane macedo with more on all this and, you know, a lot of janet fans think shes paid a much bigger price for this going back to 2004 than justin. This proves their point. It does to a certain extent. This is definitely adding fuel to the fire and it goes back to this recurring complaint its a double standard. Even Justin Timberlake said back in 2004 she took way more heat for that wardrobe malfunction than he did and now the idea that hes invited back and she may not be is obviously not sitting well with people. We have one tweet saying they should let janet and justin perform together. Everybody deserves a second chance. Another says please trend justice for janet. The nfl hasnt lifted the ban but justin is tree to perform. Its wrong and she deserves better. The list goes on and on. Im glad you brought it up, j. T. Has always backed up janet for going way back when. All right. There are calls already on social media. No, were not going to watch the game. We wont watch halftime. Got a little time between now and then. We see that a lot when things get heated. One thing theyre calling for is an apology. Justin did back janet up but a lot dont feel he did enough. They want him to apologize. One tweet says this person wont watch unless Justin Timberlake starts his set by introducing Janet Jackson with an apology and continues watching quietly until she performs. I take it that person isnt producing the halftime show. This is what you say in the heat of the moment. To organize a boycott would be difficult but the nfl is dealing with a lot of controversy and dont need what are they saying . They not much. To the response that janet has been banned from the show they say there is no ban and they say we are not going to comment on any speculation regarding potential guests. Which, of course, means if theyre not going to comment on speculation, everybody else is going to continue speculating and one guest everyone is hoping to see is Janet Jackson. Well, well see what happens. This cant hurt. Looking for attention they got it. All right, diane, thank you. Why sex and the city car kim cattrall is saying the show prevented her from having children. Plus, what her relationship is really like with her costars. Come on back. Hi, im mindy kearns.

Thousand to our gma cover story. Kim cattrall getting candid about her show sex and the city claiming the schedule kept her from having children and linzie has more. Reporter kim cattrall is revealing she that her work on sex and the city caused her to make a major life decision coming to the conclusion that she just couldnt have it all. For six years she played the glamorous and outspoken Samantha Jones on sex city. When when hes in college ill take him for a drink and flirt with his friends. Reporter now kim cattrall saying the role that skyrocketed her to worldwide fame in 1998 prevented her from having a baby. I put work before them. Reporter the actress telling piers morgan she and her then husband Mark Levenson considered ivf but her grueling work hours made it impossible. I thought to myself, wow, i have 19hour days on this series. How could i possibly continue to do that, especially in my early 40s and then i realized, you know, what a commitment it was just to the procedures. It was the first moment that was extraordinary and in my life where i thought maybe im just not going to do this. We know that age is the most significant factor in our ability to get pregnant and Everybody Knows about the biological clock and the ticking really starts to get louder as we get closer to 40 but by 45, the ticking is deafening. Reporter cattrall saying she still feels ma term but has found an outlet for that. Thats when i started mentoring young actresses in particular. Thats where i thought i have a place to be a mom here, not a biological mom, but a mom and an auntie and a friend. Reporter her role on the show winning her a golden globe.

I really think she could have been nicer. I dont know what her issue is. Reporter cattrall saying she turned down the offer to focus on whats next for her. This isnt about more money. Its not about more scenes. Its not about any of those things. This is about a clear decision, an empowered decision in my life to end one chapter and start another. Well, plans for a third sex and the city movie have reportedly been shelled and cattrall has been blamed for that and, said, look, im 61. My former costars are ten years younger. Clearly shes already made some sacrifices. It does appear that way. Thank you. George. Thanks, guys. A new warning about house fires. More than 350,000 break out each year and experts are touting a better way to protect homes using sprinklers. 2500 people die in this country in home fires every single year. Home sprinkler save lives period. Why would there be people fighting and arguing to make sure home sprinklers are not required in homes . That might be hard to believe especially when you see what youre about to see. On the left a room with residential sprinklers. On the right a room without sprinklers. This is just a demonstration set up by the National Fire Sprinkler Association and u. L. Which helps set Safety Standards for a number of industries. Only maryland, california and d. C. Along with hundreds of towns require new hopes to have sprinkler systems. The issue is sparking a heated debate in state and local governments on whether theyre worth the price tag. The anger is the fact that 24 states in this country have prohibited the adoption of this at a local and state level. Thats what makes me angry. Reporter we start in this room with a sprinkler and light the couch on fire. Theres your plate. Reporter at three minutes the plate covering the sprinkler pops off and its activated. Thasactivation. Reporter set to go off when the temperatures reach 155 degrees. The result, the room covered in water and leaking to the first floor but the fire damage contained to the couch only. Now, the room without sprinklers. At almost five minutes in take a look. The room without sprinklers side its going to takesi ten minutes to depending on how close you are to the fire station. 90 d0reeseges at efloor. Can you crawl out of there. You cant crawl out of there. Youre not going to ceiling fan fell. Reporter 7 1 2 minutes in. Were going to evacuate the house. Reporter the house is no longer safe and we evacuated as firefighters move in to fight the glaze. The room without sprinklers is destroyed. Having the stinklers issed dedction t y to get out and Fir Department time to get there. Reporter don and sandra and their four grandchildren were killed in a 2015 fire in an annapolis, maryland, home and dons sister believes sprinklers would have saved them. It would have bought them the time they needed to escape. Reporter the National Association of Home Builders say working smoke detectors are still the most costeffective mean force saving lives in a home fire. Sprinklers can add thousands of dollars to the cost of a new home pricing out many Prospective Home Buyers with marginal benefit. A study by the National Fire Protection Foundation says a system costs roughly 6,000 in a 4100squarefoot home. That Square Footage many times including the basement and garage but grog says you cant put a price on her familys lives. You can replace belongings but you cant replace a life. As we were saying, george, it all comes down to money, period. Seems a silly thing but adding 6,000, 8,000, 10,000 to a home thats a lot but sprinklers are designed they do save property but supposed to give you enough time to get out of the house and in that regard they absolutely do work. That is important. It time for your gma moment, a little smile are. You you know kids they emulate what you do.

Showing youre not afraid to expose yourself, to be vulnerable. Its about having fun and learning how to dance in honestly i had a blast my favorite part of the whole process was going to work with her every day in the studio, just grimy and sweaty and had such a blast together.

Listen, heres how i wrote the book because i i voted for Hillary Clinton but i didnt want to, okay. I thought she was a terrible candidate. They dont know what to clap for. [ laughter [ laughter ] thats like, donald trump, i didnt vote for donald trump obviously. I knew donald trump. He did a cameo on an abc sitcom i did years ago called the job. He also did a tinge on the apprentice for my foundation. He was a nice guy. He was generous. He was on time. He knew his lines when he had them memorized but he was a different color. He was white. He was actually he made me look like i was a dark skinned person. He was so white so it was a different guy. Bu he whatever you want to say about trump, he has changed the game. So after the election i did i do this concert every year for the Cancer Foundation at t. D. Garden. This year [ applause ] yeah. So four days after the election, i did a concert and what i basically did was go up and stage and vent against hillary and against trump and the audience was explosive so people i could tell they had half voted for hillary and half voted for trump so to me i thought i got to write ray book about it because it got more and more divisive and nothing is getting done. So in trumps world which hes changed the game, celebrities can now become president so i think we have to look at it thats why i said george 2020. Weed to to stop yeah, lets change the process. I want to have talk about so you think you can dance or dancing with the stars we should have a reality show to elect the next president. Someone said we aea that. Right. I mean, because the debates suck. We dont learn anything at the debates so i say you have a 13week reality show called president idol as howard stern was calling it or i call it americas got leaders. Four celebrity judge answer have all these people that want to run for 1 week, give them tanks, make them dance, sing, whatever you want to do and on november 2nd or 7th we vote by phone. Thats it. No electric tort college. Thats it. The winner is the winner. [ applause ] i mean i think thats the future, you know. Something to think about. Its so scary. Nick lachey would be a great president ial candidate on that show. Im telling you. Justin timberlake could be president. I think we need a woman. I want oprah. Yay. There we go. I want oprah. There you go. Because s if. [ applause ]o great because you know every three weeks shed give us free stuff. You know what i mean. That wouldnt suck. That would be great. That would be awesome. So anyway the book is about it starts with the election and just want to remind im out to make people laugh their asses off but i want to talk about racism. All the stuff that was so divisive thats still happening, racism and sexism and all that stuff and make people laugh about how twisted we have been in the last couple of years. And that we dont suck. And we dont suck . That is nice and remind ourselves how great of a country we are and like my democratic friends have lost their sense of humor. My republican friends have lost their sense of humor and nothing is getting done. Look at the carvilles. No, no, no. You dont want me to be president. Id be impeached within four months. All i would do can just a free beer for everybody. No fruitcake. No fruitcake. No fruitcake. But you can doesnt why we dont suck, its out today. Out today. [ applause ] are we done .

Dry tomorrow. Head up to you. Get inside. Its been nearly 50 years since dianne lake, the youngest member of the manson family lived with him in his notorious cull and now breaking his silence with you, amy. In fact, lake has a new book member of the family and talks about how she eventually helped put Charles Manson behind bars. His name has been synonymous with evil for nearly 50 years. Charles manson, the cult leader who turned the summer of love into a season of killing directing his followers on a murderous spree in the summer of 1969. Manson actually gave you all knives. Yes, he did. Like he actually gave you stabbing lessons. Yes, he did. Is Charles Manson an inherently evil person . I think he was used for evil. Reporter and this may be his least likely family member. Dianne lake, today she is a f t in the 60s her parents were hippies when she met Charles Manson, now she is telling her whole story in a new book. Reading your book it seems as though you meet Charles Manson and within moments hes bedding you. It seemed very natural and loving. You were 14. I was 14. He was how old . He was probably 34. I believe hes 20 years older than i am. Are you attracted to him . He was cute. Impish, you know, fun. Can you describe what drew you to Charles Manson, what it was about him . He made you feel like you were his one and only love. You know, and, yes, there were other girls but we all we all shared him but he made you feel really special. Did you love him. Yes. I did. Did he love you . I always thought he did. Now im not sosure. For two she lived with mansons socalled family befriending the people who would eventually becomeous killers. And they really were your family . And they really were my family, yeah. Did you ever see a dark side to any of them . Why were they there in the manson familia family. I think we were all misfits looking for love and affection. It began with talk of love and peace and an entire Hippie Movement and then it turned dark and charlie started talking about helterskelter, a race war. How concerned were you when you saw that evolution . It didnt feel right, but yet the evidence seemed to be overwhelming that this is the way the world was going, that this these were true prophecies. Did you think that he was the Second Coming of christ, that he was a messiahlike figure . Yes, i did so its bizarre to think that we could have ever believed it. But we did. Did you have any idea that something evil was brewing . Not not really within the family. She knew nothing she says of the plan to kill and yet over the course of two days in august of 1969 leno and rosemary labianca, steve parent, alby gail folger, wojciech frykowski, jay sebring and actress sharon tate had all been brutally murdered. They gave you the gory details. I got gory details and what i remember is that they gave me the gory details with a certain amount of glee or almost like bragging, i mean, which just made me feel even worse. I mean it was like you ultimately sat in court looking right there at the man you worshipped, the man you loved, Charles Manson and you testified against him. Can you describe how that felt. My biggest fear was that i was going succumb to that feeling of loyalty that i had for him and that he was going to mesmere me, but he the spell was broken. Was b. As for why she wrote this book now, dianne says its been healing after nearly 50 years to finally tell her story. I feel very unburdened and i feel untethered from the shame of being associated with this person who has become the, you know, icon of evil. Remarkably she told no one other than her husband about this. All of her friend, family, three children, no one knew about this. Started a brandnew life. Exactly.
