>> you've got to see this picture, robin, from north carolina. mooresboro where the house was and where it was blown. we also have video from wsoc, aerials of that home. thankfully the people inside got to a residence close by and they survived. so we did not see anyone injured or hurt by that in the southeast. lots of damaging wind. almost 80 reports but flash flooding was the other piece of this and the wichita pictures are stunning. look at some of this. up to 4 inches of rain in 24 hours. the streets were full. again, we were so fortunate that no one was injured in these, but the flash flood watches move east. arkansas to memphis with the flash flood watch until tomorrow morning. we had much more coming up. for now back to george. >> thank you. the race for president now your voice, your vote and the candidate dominating the campaign trail right now, donald trump, unleashing on fellow republicans even calling out the private cell phone number of rival lindsey graham at a rally in the senator's home state. abc's jon karl reporting on all the fireworks. good morning, jon. >> reporter: good morning. trump certainly isn't toning anything down. he is calling his fellow republicans lightweight, losers, idiots, dummies, desperate and those are fellow republicans he's talking about. now even president obama is weighing in on donald trump. >> i'm sure the republicans are enjoying mr. trump's current dominance of their primary. >> anything that makes them look less crazy. [ laughter ] >> reporter: trump has become a one-man wrecking crew in the republican primary hurling insult after insult at his republican rivals. not just john mccain, rick perry. >> he put glasses on so people will think he's smart. >> reporter: and lindsey graham. >> then you have this guy lindsey graham. a total lightweight. here's a guy in the private sector he couldn't get a job, believe me. >> reporter: trump told the crowd graham called him a few years ago, asking for help. and he then gave out graham's phone number on national television. >> let's try it, 202 -- [ bleep ] >> reporter: graham got bombarded with calls and went on twitter saying he's getting a new phone. as for war hero, john mccain he's trying to stay above the fray. he says you've been a disaster for veterans. >> well, i mean i think my record speaks for itself, jon. >> reporter: trump has nothing on his schedule today, george. maybe just maybe giving some of the other candidates a chance to get a little attention. >> we will see, okay, jon, thanks very much. trump's rally did steal some of the spotlight from the newest candidate, ohio governor john kasich, he launched his campaign in columbus tuesday becoming the 16th republican in the race and right after the speech i asked him to explain what sets him apart from the rest of the pack. >> i don't think i want to get into how i'm better. i'm just going to say that my record is unique in the field, you know, national security experience, you remember the days of the balancing the budget in washington which hasn't been done since we walked on the moon and hasn't been done since and turn around a really, really big and important state from almost disaster, to where we're prospering. second, george, you've known me for a long time. you think i got to work hard to distinguish myself? i just am who i am, right? i have fun and i'm running for president of the united states. so are you kidding me? it's great. >> i have decided to run for president of the united states. [ cheers and applause ] >> reporter: inaugurated day one what are the -- >> we move towards balancing the budget, we know that and put down a credible plan that can move us there over time. secondly, look, we have to rebuild the defense department so those would be the first two things then there'e's one other message. if you're poor, if you're black, if you're brown, if you're struggling, we care about you and we're going to work to make sure you're included in the american dream. unity is such a big part now. >> you think your party is ready to accept that message? >> i guess that doesn't matter, does it? i mean, that's my message. >> a new poll out today shows you're at 2%. >> i kind of went up. i doubled, huh? >> donald trump at 24%. how do you explain that? >> i don't think about it, george. look, i have paid no attention to that whole business. i just don't. i paid a -- >> don't you have to? >> no, no, i paid a lot of attention to the british open, glad to see that guy from iowa won. that was good. >> if he gets the nomination, can you support him? >> that's such a hypothetical that i'm not going there. >> reporter: hillary clinton the big front runner on the democratic side. >> i ran into one of their big campaign managers. he said, we do worry about you. i said, why don't you say that publicly. he said, are you crazy? we're not going to give you publicity. i think the battle against hillary who has the biggest and largest vision for the country. i think she sometimes is really too narrow. >> as you said yourself, you can be tough sometimes. to someone who questions whether you have the temperament to be president. >> look, we have a lot of fun but i got to tell you i'm not some marshmallow. i'm no pushover. wouldn't get these things done if you were. but it takes toughness, some humor. it takes a lot of different things. >> what's the single most important thing you want someone who's never seen you before to know about john kasich? >> that i care about them. i want them to have a good life. i want their kids to have a good life. the people who get up in the morning, play by the rules, go home, love their family and say their prayers for their neighbors, for their family and for our country. >> governor kasich, thank you. >> you know, he says he's really driven by his faith. he had a dramatic transformation after his parents with killed in a car accident back in 1987 and that's fueled him ever since. >> that seems that and he has a great sense of humor. >> he does. >> see if he can get in the debates. >> he's up to 2%, what he said. all right. george now to breaking news overnight. more laser attacks aimed at passenger planes this time four flights in the new york city area this after a zoz pilots reported green beams in their cockpits last week. p abc's david kerley is in reagan international ain't. >> reporter: you're right. four strikes, as we mentioned which is temporarily blinding light. four different laser strikes from three different areas. one going to newark one at laguardia. three hit at 7,000 feet. most jets when hit by these lasers are lower, 2,000 to 3,000 feet. this comes after a dozen of aircraft were hit last week. one of those pilots from last week reported suffering blurry vision after the green laser light lit up his cockpit. an fbi task force has been targeting these he people which were hitting jetliners carrying passengers. but the problem is getting worse. already 2500 laser incidents across the country. on average there's 15 a night across the country. robin, authorities are asking if you see anybody with one of these lasers to call authorities and report them. >> thank you. we move now to an alarming new video. that races real question about car safety it's from wire.com, and shops us how someone could hack in your car it and disable it while it's on the record by remote control. and tom llamas has the story. >> reporter: the hackers who did this is a there are more than 470,000 vehicles out on the road that are vulnerable right now. they say the threat is real an now congress is getting involved. this morning, u.s. senators hitting the hazard button trying to put the brakes on what you're about to see. >> i can't see anything because of the [ bleep ] windshield wiper fluid. >> kill the engine. >> reporter: hackers taking over this driver's jeep cherokee gaining complete control on a st. louis highway and shutting the vehicle down. >> so we're killing the engine. >> actually can't accelerate. >> reporter: this is not science fiction. "wired" magazine posting the video and report on their site exposing the terrifying new danger some drivers now face. >> it's very unnerving to lose control of your car on the highway. >> reporter: the hackers able to get into the driver's seat through the car's wi-fi system called you connect and if that's not scary enough watch what they do here. >> okay, hold on tight. hold on. oh, [ bleep ].

they're aware of the problem and released a software update that offers customers improved vehicle electronic security and communication system enhancements. just yesterday, u.s. senators ed markey and richard blumenthal introducing legislation that could create a rating system for consumers letting them know how protected their cars are from hackers. >> in the wrong hands this tool could be used by malicious hackers to hijack a vehicle. >> reporter: but there is some reassuring news here, wired reports the hackers shared their information with the manufacturers of the jeep cherokee to improve security so hopefully that works but, robin, get this, the wired writer tell us the hackers gave him few instructions before taking over his car including don't panic. yeah, right. >> he didn't say. you got that right, tom. thank you. now to that wild animal apparently on the loose in milwaukee. a lion or some kind of big cat caught on camera roaming the streets and abc's phillip mena has the story. >> reporter: could what you're looking at right here be a lioness prowling the streets of milwaukee? bill nolan and his wife annie in shock after seeing this creature roaming outside their home. >> i was afraid to move. i was sitting there and i couldn't move. i thought, what am i looking at? >> reporter: their daughter catching this terrifying glimpse on her cell phone. >> that bush and those trees. >> reporter: authorities receiving a flood of 911 calls reporting the large cat. the department of natural resources believed by the look of it, it may be a lioness and while there have been no other confirmed sightings of the alleged feline police are not taking the threat lightly. >> we're treating it seriously. we've got a number of people out there looking. >> reporter: and while many around milwaukee are concerned, others on social media are having a bit more fun. the milwaukee bucks putting their mascot on the front line, tweeting, don't worry, milwaukee, we are dispatching our best guy to investigate the #mkelion and the roaming lion has its own twitter account tweeting "out for a stroll." you see the fun being had but to those residents, this is no laughing matter. the milwaukee zoo says all of its animals are accounted for and they believe it may be a mountain lion tracking it closely. >> all right. phillip. thank you. >> amy now has the other top stories starting with that big warehouse fire that's not far from here. >> that's right. dramatic video, robin. this morning a massive fire burning at this car repair warehouse in new jersey. the warehouse complex is the size of a city block and it's engulfed in flames, the smoke so thick it's forced nearby residents to evacuate. it's closed local roads and delayed commuter trains. on the nearby tracks. so far, one firefighter has been injured. also breaking overnight, american base jump earp ian flanders was killed in a parachute mishap. his parachute got tangled and i plunged into

at least a dozen reported dead and that number could rise. dozens of cars were washed away. some reportedly with people inside them. an ohio prosecutor is promising a full investigation into the fatal police shooting of an unarmed man in cincinnati after a traffic stop for a missing front license plate. dozens gathered at the scene last night demanding answers. police say university of cincinnati officer ray tensing shot sam dubose in the head during a struggle after he refused to exit his car. his family insisting he was too frail from an illness to put up any struggle. well, caught on camera in massachusetts a speeding truck crashes into this car dealership flipping over and damaging several cars. the driver struck a pole and now faces drunk driving charges. and finally, with all the recent shark scares in north carolina one couple opted for a do-it-yourself approach to protect themselves. they made their own shark cages. and tried to taking them into the water but the lifeguard was having none it of it and called them back to the beach. the couple said it was all for laughs and the internet went wild with this, creating some memes, including this unique tourism poster. i mean, i don't know. is it that crazy to get into the waters off there with so many attacks? better than a flotation device. >> i guess. >> you saw that video too. this is great video online of this woman -- >> don't go into the shark's house. it's the shark's house. >> now we got to go find it. >> pretty funny. right now, we go to ginger. look at all of that hail behind i. >> this is in the sierras. this is close to donor lake. that video making it look like it's snow, but, no, that would be thunderstorm required hail and so not just the hail there but we thought this was interesting.

happened again? i was given warfarin in the hospital but i wondered if this was the right treatment for me. then my doctor 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 but eliquis also had significantly less major bleeding than the standard treatment. knowing eliquis had both... turned around my thinking. don't stop eliquis unless your doctor tells you to. eliquis can cause serious and in rare cases fatal bleeding. don't take eliquis if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. if you had a spinal injection while on eliquis call your doctor right away if you have tingling numbness, or muscle weakness. while taking eliquis, you may bruise more easily... and it may take longer than usual for bleeding to stop. seek immediate medical care for sudden signs of bleeding, like unusual bruising. eliquis may increase your bleeding risk if you take certain medicines. tell your doctor about all planned medical or dental procedures. eliquis treats dvt & pe blood clots. plus had less major bleeding. both made switching to eliquis right for me. ask your doctor if it's

scheduled to appear in court today and abc's kayna whitworth has the story. >> reporter: this morning, california firefighter jonathan hearn is set 0 to go before a judge accused of killing his lover's husband in a love trieningle turned deadly. at the center, sabrina limon. but just two days before their anniversary, robert found shot to death at this california rail yard. two days before their anniversary, robert was shot to death in this rail yard. police first believing robert's death was a botched robbery attempt. but after three months of investigating police arrested sabrina and jonathan in november alleging the two were having an affair and conspired to kill robert together. court documents alleging hearn and sabrina exchanged thousands of conversations and text messages with one saying "if robert was out of the picture they could live their lives together." documents also suggesting sabrina had told hearn where robert would be working and his hours the day of the murder. the charges against sabrina dropped two days after the arrest. >> miss limon was not because of insufficient evidence. >> reporter: but authorities maintain it was her firefighter lover who pointed the trigger, pointing to this surveillance video capturing the moments after robert's murder. police believe that's jonathan fleeing the scene. the firefighter's lawyer says it's not the case. >> it's not clear enough to really make out who the person is. you can't even tell what race or whether it's a male or female. it's a person with a limp crossing the yard. >> reporter: jonathan hearn has pled not guilty. for "good morning america," kayna whitworth. abc news, los angeles. the latest on bill cosby. his lawyer as attacking the bombshell release of that bombshell deposition in a new court filing asking them to keep the legal settlement secret. monique pressley standing by after this from abc's linsey davis. >> reporter: this morning, bill cosby's legal team is fighting back against the release of a thousand-page deposition from 20050 where cosby described sexual encounters with at least five women and fighting to keep details of a 2006 settlement with a temple university employee, private. he talks specifically about what he said was a consensual romantic relationship with andrea constand who filed a lawsuit claiming he drugged and sexually assaulted her. his lawyers argued it should have remained sealed. according to the deposition the once beloved comedian says constand was special to him saying he didn't want to have intercourse with her because andrea i don't want to fall in love with me. cosby saying he had access to phones not in his name to call constand, telling his wife he was sending constand payments to help her and cosby describes the quaaludes in his testimony as the drug young people were using to party, saying i wanted to have them just in case. >> this is incredibly damning in the court of public opinion. but as a legal matter, it may not make much of a difference. >> reporter: never charged with sexual assault, cosby settled the constand case out of court. a source previously telling abc news he only did so to save his family embarrassment. constand is one of more than two dozen women he's been accused of assaulting and/or drugging. something cosby's team has always denied. for "good morning america," linsey davis, abc news, new york. >> thanks, linsey. we are joined by one of mr. cosby's attorneys, monique pressley. thanks for joining us this morning, miss pressley. >> thanks for having me. >> why is it so important to keep this settlement secret? >> the entire reason that parties enter into confidential agreements for settlement, the entire reason that parties settle is because they come together and agree on mutual terms and once those terms are violated, then it's the entire agreement that loses its purpose. >> is there anything more you can do now that the deposition is out there? >> there are a thousand plus pages that are available of mr. cosby in his own words and what we're seeing so far are headlines that are grabbing one excerpt or two and then misinterpreting them when the deposition said that there was use of quaaludes, which was quaaludes which was done often in the '70s, it was considered a party drug called disco biscuits and it was something that was used frequently, not just by mr. cosby, but other entertainers. >> let me ask you about that. more than two dozen women have come forward to say they were sexually assaulted by him. some claimed they were drugged. is it your position mr. cosby never gave a woman drugs without her knowledge? >> in fact, what we're looking at now is a situation where we started with a man who had not been charged with a crime who has not been convicted of a crime but instead has been accused of criminal activity. >> in fact, miss pressley at one point in the deposition when asked, when bill cosby is asked if theresa was in a position to consent to sexual intercourse after being given quaaludes in 1976 he said i don't know. >> what he was speaking to in the deposition is her state of mind, which no person as you know can testify to, i can't say whether someone else feels a certain way or thinks a certain way. >> all of these women, more than two dozen women, all of these women are liars? i'm not making conclusions and you know that i can't about whether someone is lying or not. what i am saying is that mr. cosby has denied the accusations that have been lodged thus far. the sheer volume or number of people who are saying a particular thing does not make it true. >> this is happening in the court of public opinion. if mr. cosby believes that all of these charges are untrue and he believes it so strongly why not come out publicly now and say so? >> it's not a question of belief. as i said previously mr. cosby has through his attorneys from the beginning denied the accusations against him. if anyone is being defamed right now through media, through celebrity onlookers, through others, it's mr. cosby. >> so we won't be seeing any more public statements on this matter from mr. cosby? >> i would anticipate that in the cases that are still ongoing that you will see statements because when there are filings by the attorneys those are statements on mr. cosby's behalf and i do hope that as those things are filed, that those who are responsible for putting out information will take a good, hard look at them and then report on what's actually being filed in court. because that's the only place where we can actually see some measure of justice. >> miss pressley, thanks very much for your time this morning. >> thank you. >> they are fighting back hard right now. to ginger for the weather. will you

>> that was really empowering to know that i took fate into my own hands. >> reporter: "time's" extensive research finding while the procedure may give women a sense of security about that reproductive future, it might not always work that well. reporting of the 414 eggs thawed in 2013, 99 babies were born, a rate of just under 24%. and with a few eggs lost at each step of the process, it's estimated each egg has just a 2% to 12% chance of resulting in a live birth. is this an effective insurance policy? >> it just isn't an insurance policy. if you have home insurance and your house burns down, you get a new house. you don't maybe get a new house. you don't get 24% of a new house. >> reporter: for "good morning america," mara schiavocampo, abc news, new york. >> and our dr. jen ashton is here right now. and you're going to do a little demonstration to show just how big a challenge it is. >> this is a very safe process. it's very effective but it's not a guarantee. and let me show you what i mean. typically when we do a stimulation cycle for a woman's ovaries, we'll get about 15 to 20 eggs extracted from a young woman. now, then those have to be frozen and thawed, not all will survive that process. let's say you wind up with this much. then these are fertilized and become embryos and have to grow to a certain cell division stage and have to be tested they're healthy enough to implant. not all will survive this stage and then in this country, we typically don't transfer or implant more than one or two fertilized embryos into a woman's uterus. from this you hope to get one or two live births. >> so are the chances better if you freeze the embryos rather than the eggs? >> the egg freezing process is a little more challenging, but it is safe. it's effective. the rates are all over the place. some historical context here, george, remember up until 2012, this was considered an experimental process, so while it's happening more and more, we're still learning so much more about the technology and it's only getting better. >> so, you're an ob/gyn. when a woman comes to you and says, i'm thinking about this, what do you tell her? >> i ask why. you have to listen. this is a long discussion. it depends on several factors. it depends on her age. this conversation will be different for a 25-year-old and a 35-year-old. it depends on medical issues. has she just been diagnosed with cancer? does she have severe endometriosis or does she have premature menopause and then social issues have to be balanced with risks, benefits and options. >> and fertility, something men have to think about too. men oftentimes ignore it throughout the process so i tell both partners they both need to keep certain things in mind. number one, don't get bogged down on stats. so easy to get overwhelmed with percentages. keep yourself healthy. that includes not smoking. that's bad for sperm and eggs and stay positive. this is a marathon, not a sprint. >> all good advice. jen ashton, thanks very much. read a lot more about this topic in the current issue of "time" magazine. now to robin. >> all right, thank you. next on "the heat index," some truly dramatic weight loss stories. women who each lost over 100 pounds. the new issue of "people" magazine hitting stands nationwide friday shares how these inspiring women did it. and jesse palmer is here to tell us all about it. good morning, jess. >> good morning, robin. you know, it was something different that motivated each of these women but they all set out to transform their bodies kicking bad habits and embracing exercise hoping to inspire others on a journey. >> i lost 105 pounds within two years. >> i have lost 112 pounds, and it took me about three years. >> reporter: 27-year-old judy ann clark and 35-year-old melissa menos are thankful for a new lease on life now sharing their struggles and triumphs inside "people" magazine's latest 100-pound weight loss edition. >> it was at night that i would get hungry. >> reporter: clark had been overweight most of her life, but a trip to the doctor's office would forever change her. >> he told me that i would need bariatric surgery. it just felt like my world was coming to an end. >> reporter: saying no to surgery, clark joined jenny craig shortly after going from 241 pounds to an incredible 136 pounds. >> my weight now is at a place where i feel like i can manage it. >> reporter: at age 25, melissa menos was at her heaviest eating nearly 8,000 calories a day. >> i cried myself to sleep every night. >> reporter: after discovering lisa lillian's hungry girl site in february 2010, she was able to take the weight off for good, going from 252 pounds to an amazing 140. >> it's a life that i used to wish i had, and today i have it. >> reporter: and for 28-year-old sharday smith-stevens, also featured in the spread, her transformation is one you have to see to believe revealed live right now. and without further adieu, let's take a look at sharday smith-stevens before her weight loss, and here's sharday today.
