Reporter good morning, amy. Tensions are already so high with north korea and this fiery rhetoric ramps it up even higher. Overnight, a jawdropping statement from the president. Well, theres a theres a chance that we could end up having a major, major conflict with north korea. Absolutely. Reporter the comments coming just one day after the president and his Top National Security advisers briefed congress on the tense situation, calling north korea an urgent National Security threat. On wednesday, admiral harry harris, the commander of u. S. Pacific command, suggested placing groundbased missile intercepters in hawaii. Kim jongun is clearly in a position to threaten hawaii today. Reporter a u. S. Military strike on north korea could put american allies, japan and south korea, as well as u. S. Forces in the area at risk of a retaliatory response. From north korean forces. When asked if the President Trump considered north Korean Leader kim jongun to be ration rational, the president saying, i hope hes rational, noting that kim jongun took over the regime at a young age. Saying, hes 27 years old. His father dies, took over a regime. So say what you want, but that is not easy, especially at that age. President trump saying of the crisis in north korea, we would love to solve things diplomatically. But its very difficult. Secretary of state Rex Tillerson and defense secretary james mattis earlier issuing a joint statement saying, we remain open to negotiations toward that goal.

The goal, of course, to pressure north korea to dismantle its nuclear and Ballistic Missile program, as north korea prepares for what could be yet another nuclear test. Robin . Thank you, martha. As the president closes in on the milestone 100 days in office, hes not only facing rising tensions with north korea, but also challenges he did not expect in office. Our senior white house correspondent, cecilia vega with those details for us from washington. Good morning, cecilia. Reporter hi, robin, good morning to you. The president is reflecting back on his life before he moved into the white house here. 99 days in, and now an admission this morning, this job is a lot harder than he thought it would be. I loved my previous life. I had so many things going. This is more work than in my previous life. I thought it would be easier. Reporter on the eve of his 100th day, President Trump making the admission in the reuters interview. Hes kicking off his milestone with an historic visit, speaking in front of a friendly audience. You gun owners better get out there and vote, ill tell you. You better get out. Reporter the president appearing at the nras annual meeting in atlanta on the campaign trail. Were going to save your second amendment, which is under siege. As you know, the nra endorsed me with the earliest endorsement theyve ever given. Reporter but as the president takes center stage, he is keeping quiet about new questions involving his former National Security advisers ties to russia. Any regrets about Michael Flynn . Thank you very much. Reporter the pentagons top watchdog examining whether Lieutenant General mike flynn broke the law, telling congress, it has initiated an investigation about whether flynn failed to obtain required approval before accepting thousands of dollars in business from a foreign government. Those payments including 45,000 flynn in moscow in 2015. President trump later firing flynn in part because he failed to fully disclose his ties to russia. Democrats releasing this letter from the military showing the year before flynns trip to russia, he was specifically warned foreign compensation requires advanced approval. Democrats sounding the alarm, accusing the white house of a coverup. Questioning why the Trump Administration wont turn over flynns hiring documents. It makes the American People think the white house has something to hide. Reporter the white house pushing back. I was, frankly, taken back by his comments today because theyre frankly not true. Reporter now, sean spicer was asked if he is comfortable with the vetting flynn received before the president named him his National Security adviser. Whether maybe the administration missed any red flags. Spicers response, it was the Obama Administration that was responsible for flynns most recent background check. Robin. All right, cecilia, thank you. Amy . Joining us now is the attorney general of the united states, Jeff Sessions. Thank you for joining us. As we just heard, National Security advisor Michael Flynn under investigation by the Defense Department for accepting those foreign payments. Will the Justice Department be investigating, as well . Well, theyll do their responsibility, whatever that is, and what we always do. Im not involved in that investigation, and dont participate in it, and i dont know anything about it. You have recused yourself from investigating anything involving the president ial campaign. You would not also be involved in anything regarding Michael Flynn. I dont expect to, no. Yes. Youre a key member of the National Security team obviously. Do you have concerns about how members of your team, including Michael Flynn, were vetted before accepting this position . Michael flynn is not part of my team. He was part of the white house adviser on the National Security issues. We need to do a good job of vetting that. Thats a complex issue. Im not sure anyone can be expected to find that. Are you comfortable with the level of vetting that was done . Im comfortable that theyre working hard to do vetting. Its obvious, oftentimes, you dont catch everything. There might be a problem. I dont know the facts of the case. Maybe theres an explanation for it. Youre going to long island to speak about Violent Crime and gangs. Tell us what the purpose of your visit is, and what your message will be. We see this ms13 gang that has been involved in that area as a national threat, really. Its grown dramatically. It now has 10,000 members in the united states. Its being organized and led from el salvador, from prison, actually. Theyre sending a lot of money back. Theyre prostituting girls as young as 12. Theyre using extortion and murder. Were going to go after them. They can be defeated. Youre expected to be greeted in long island by some protesters. New york assemblyman phil ramos says that the issues around gangs are complex and that making this a part of the debate about immigration, quote, this is an attempt by the Trump Administration and mr. Sessions to justify their belief that immigrants are people who intrinsically have a propensity for violence. Whats your response to that . Immigrants are great for america. We admit 1. 1 million a year every year legally. Thats the system we have and we believe in and will support. But persons do not have the right to enter the country illegally, and if they commit crimes, they should be tried and convicted like anyone else, and then deported as the law requires. Thats what were talking about. Enforcing the law fairly and objectively and were targeting the criminal element first. Mr. Ramos says youre implying that the fact that youre an undocumented immigrant makes you more likely to commit a crime. Do you believe that . What im saying is were going to tell the truth. The truth is many of the people involves in gangs today, and much of the drugs being distributed in America Today are being distributed by illegal aliens. Theyre coming mostly from mexico. Many of these gangs now are Central American gangs. Many of them did come as unaccompanied minors. That does appear to be the case. You said youre here to tell the truth, so you believe the truth is that if youre an undocumented immigrant youre more like to to be a criminal . Amy, i didnt say that. I was just trying to let you clarify. What im saying is that those who are here unlawfully, many of them are undocumented aliens who commit crimes, should be tried like anyone else, and deported. Tomorrow is President Trumps 100th day in office. In an interview on thursday, he said, i loved my previous life. I had so many things going. This is more work than my in my previous life. I thought it would be easier. Youre coming up on your 100th day as attorney general. You were sworn in. How does the reality of your job compare with the expectations of it . Is it harder, easier, same . Thats a good question. Its been a seven day a week job. 12 hours a day. But really interesting and fun. Weve got some great people in the department of justice with high ideals. Were going to reduce the criminal crime in america. Were going to focus on protecting american civil rights. Were going to end the lawlessness and immigration, and i think we can do that, and i think well make American People proud. That will be our goal. All right, attorney general Jeff Sessions, thank you for joining us this morning. Thank you, amy. Thank you, amy. Now to the threat of a shutdown on capitol hill. Congress trying to reach a deal to keep the government running. Before the midnight deadline. Our congressional correspondent, mary bruce, has more on the lastminute negotiations. Good morning, mary. Reporter good morning, robin. After a lot of back and forth, lawmakers this morning are expected to approve a spending measure to keep the lights on, but not for long. Its a oneweek fix to buy more time for negotiators to work on a broader deal. Democrats had threatened to block the shortterm measure if republicans pushed for a vote on health care. After a latenight huddle here on the hill, its clear the republicans dont have the support to get this done. House Speaker Paul Ryan says until they have the votes, there will be no vote on health care. That means the president will hit the 100th day without a single major legislative victory. What do republicans have to do to get a new Health Care Reform passed . Now that the conservatives have backed this latest bill, the political pressure is on the moderates. Some of the concessions made to get conservative support is giving them cause for concern. The question now is what comes next and whether republicans can strike that balance to push this over the finish line. Right now, it goes to show how divided the Republican Party is. All right, mary, thank you. Now to the popes big trip. Pope francis heading to egypt this morning amid heightened security to visit christian and muslim communities after the recent terror attacks. Our chief Foreign Correspondent terry moran is in the ground there in cairo. Good morning, terry. Reporter good morning, amy. Pope francis was told by vatican security that in coming here he was taking a real risk. But here he is. But hes coming anyway because he wants to seize this opportunity, so cairo right now is on lockdown. Tens of thousands of security personnel fanned out across the city. But the threat of violence is very real. Three weeks ago, two horrific bombings, isis taking credit. Pope francis has decided he will hold on open air mass. Part of his message, solidarity and he wants to express brotherhood across the lines in egypt and the middle east. Amy . Thank you, terry. Also overseas, british Authorities Say they have foiled an attack plot after arresting six suspects during a dramatic raid in north london overnight. They fired tear gas into a home, and shot a female suspect before making those arrests. Details of the alleged plot have not been released. The raid was not related to an arrest of a man carrying knives outside British Parliament thursday. He is being held on terror charges this morning. Authorities say he was known to police and was being monitored before his arrest. Back here in this country, arkansas has executed its fourth inmate in the last eight days.

Her father saying she has good and bad days. Theyre expecting a long journey of healing. Robin . Im sure. Kayna, thank you, and our chief legal analyst, dan abrams, is here. How will this interview possibly impact the case . I think the authorities are looking for as many possible charges to levy against him as possible. And this one could add the potential for statutory rape. One of the wrinkles here is that in tennessee law, to get a kidnapping charge, if someone is over the age of 12, which she was, you need force or coercion. Basically, the law in tennessee reads as if someone over the age of 12 can leave home. Now, there are also federal charges in place. There are some arguments about why that shouldnt apply. I can assure you the tennessee authorities and federal authorities would like to see as many other charges as possible. What about marital privilege . The spousal privilege, as you point out, could apply. Meaning that the husband, the defendant could say, i dont want her to be allowed to testify. We had a communication here in confidence. The problem is once she discloses that conversation publicly as she did in this interview, its no longer considered a confidential communication, and therefore, the spousal privilege probably wouldnt apply in this case. A lot of charges here. California, back where theyre from, also the federal charges. I think there will be extradition to tennessee. I think the federal charges will be critical here. Crossing state lines. Again, i think this wrinkle in the tennessee kidnapping law, they think they can get around it. But the fact that you also then have the potential for federal charges, are you also have the possibility of additional charges, i think all of this makes the authorities feel a lot more comfortable than just having to rely on that tennessee law. Thank you, dan. Have a good weekend. Amy . Coming up next, the highs and lows of President Trumps first 100 days in office. And what he didnt expect. Come on dogs just wont quit.

The fbi is investigating the russian governments efforts to interfere in the 2016 president ial election. I have nothing to do with russia. I told you. I have no deals there. I have no anything. If the president puts russian salad dressing tonight on his salad, somehow thats a russian connection. Yesterday, we all made donald trump the 45th president of the united states. Hooray, we did it. Will american taxpayers pay for the wall . Ultimately, it will come out of what is happening with mexico. Well be starting those negotiations relatively soon. Those people who are in this country and pose a threat to our Public Safety or have committed a crime will be the first to go. What about the others who arent .

Im going to give a free commercial here. Kellyannes been counseled. Trump is back on social media, tweeting again. Overnight, the president tweeted. Now the president has weighed in on twitter. Any message for north korea . Gotta behave. Lets get right to the breaking news overnight. President trumps military strike on syria. Tonight, i call on all civilized nations to join us in seeking to end the slaughter and bloodshed in syria. I dont think that there is a president ial period of time in the first 100 days where anyones done nearly what we have been able to do. Our political consultant matthew dowd joins us now from austin, texas. 99 days in, and a lot has happened after watching that. What has been trumps worst moment so far . I would say the low point of his presidency was the saturday morning in march when he got up in the morning and sent a series of tweets, falsely accusing the former president , president obama, of wiretapping. That had to be, for a president , this president , probably the lowest point so far. But did nothing much to the people who voted for him with those new polls coming out. Pretty interesting. What has been his best moment so far . When you look at this president , when he put his hand on the bible and took the oath of office, from most polls, hes drifted down ever since. In one sense, thats the high point. I would say, his nomination. And then being able to secure neil gorsuch to the Supreme Court. Its a big deal. Hell probably be on the Supreme Court for 30 years. In my view, thats probably the most significant point so far of his presidency. We heard President Trump last night saying the job is harder than he thought it would be. What does he need to do Going Forward . Well, you know, were at the end of the 100 days. The 100 days is a sprint. The presidency is marathon. He has to prepare himself for that. I would forget about the first 100 days we have just gone through, and concentrate on the next 1,000 days. President s are usually defined by a crisis. He needs to get the situation room ready. He needs to know whos in those chairs thats going to make the decision. Just like john f. Kennedy in the cuban missile crisis, president s are fundamentally defined by response to crisis. So that is what i would concentrate on if i were donald trump. Matt dowd, thanks so much. We appreciate it. Great to be here. Michael . Thank you, amy.

Amazon has created a sophisticated device that answers the question, does my butt look big in these pants . You can snap selfies of your outfits. Catalog them. It has an algorithm that compares two outfits and decides what looks better. Maybe not those slippers. Amazon has given no release date for the product yet. My prediction, once its out, virtual tryons of clothing. Imagine you snap a picture with jeans and a sweater. Amazon super imposes a purse that matches your outfit. Amazon, always helping you buy more from amazon. A lot of privacy advocates out there say there are a lot of red flags about this device. They dont know what amazon will do with the pictures or even how this camera works. Have they explained that . They have. The privacy concerns are real. The amazon echo has a microphone thats always on listening for commands. Amazon says the newlook camera is only on when you manually turn it on. Come on, a camera in your bedroom or closet . Can you say hacker bait . Also, youre giving amazon a lot of information. Whats your skin color, your measurements . Are you pregnant . They say they will not sell that information to third party marketers. But, robin, youre the most stylish person i know, are you switching over to this device and deandre is out of the job . Your stylist . No, ill stick with deandre. Hes giving me a hard time about the slippers. Ill change when i go upstairs. Im surprised at the sexism on gma. This is not just for women who want to know what their butts look like. Donny, do you want to speak out . Michael and i could use this. Dont throw me in there. Thank you, becky. Donny, youre here because were going to talk about this heineken, their pull off on politics. On the heels of the controversial Kendall Jenner ad by pepsi. The beer giant is trying to succeed where pepsi didnt. Releasing its own politically charged commercial, a fourminute social experiment bringing together people with opposing social views. Were going to look at it right now. Feminism today is manhating. I would describe myself a feminist 100 . People have their own voice. Thats not right. You cant, youre a man. Be a man. Or youre a female, be a female. Let me help you. Attention, please now stand to watch a short film. Feminism today is definitely an excuse for manhating. Transgender, it is very odd. I am a daughter. A wife. I am transgender. You now have a choice. You may go or you can stay and discuss your differences over a beer. Yeah, beer and discuss. Ive been brought up in a way where, everythings black and white. But life isnt black and white. [ laughter ] i got chills. Pretty powerful. Very powerful. This is part of a broader marketing campaign. What is heineken trying to do . Do you think its effective . Bravo. To your point, i was watching everybody in the studio. They are mesmerized. This contrasts with pepsi. Theres a thing now called commercials with a conscience. That is the zeitgeist. Every advertiser wants to plug into what is now pop culture, and thats politics, and pepsi did it wrong. They said, give pepsi to a police officer, and he wont get in a fight with a black lives matter protester. Versus heineken who is displaying this message, hey, were not so different. To see that, i literally got chills, but they dont overplay their hand. Its not, like, heineken is solving the problem. They had them building a bar together. Then there was a reason. Sit down, talk it over. Marvelous message. They did not overplay their hand. Thats why its so effective. And the big difference between the two. Pepsi was laughable to say that a soft drink is going to solve a problem. This was done with such a deft touch. Its a beautiful message. As an ad guy, i very rarely see ads that have a true impact on who we are and how we behave. Great ads hold up. Every parent should show this to their child. I agree. An ad. This is an important piece of communication. Maybe its the future of advertising. Its a fourminute ad. You go on, you see it. It just focuses on that we have more in common than not. So why dont we put more attention on that. Thank you, donny. Coming up, a parenting alert about the family who took their popular youtube videos so far. The authorities got involved. Come on back.

They also say we fell for some oscarworthy performances by their kids. Reporter the videos are shocking. What is this . Cody i didnt do that you tell me what you did . I swear to god i didnt do that reporter showing parents heather and mike martin pranking and at times screaming profanities at their crying children. Hes not going to knock the [ muted ] out of you.

You gotta worry about yourself. Reporter the martins now want the world to see them differently. We love our kids. Theyre the most important thing in the world to us. And we made poor parenting choices by portraying ourselves this way. But were not bad people. Reporter the martins are now trying to explain themselves. I am ashamed. This just it started out as family fun. It started with me and my kids. We would just, for them, it was just about making a video. They would get excited when they would get a lot of views. It was more for shock value. The characters that you see on our Youtube Channel is not a reflection of who we are. Its not. Its a character. It was a show. Theres a guy across the a bad show. But it was a show. Reporter a show that children should not be involved in. They shouldnt. Reporter you say characters. What are we to believe was real and wasnt real the those videos .

Do you really think your kids you arent a hero to your kids before this . I didnt feel like it. I i i swear to god i didnt feel like it. I felt like you know, i was a stayathome dad. Reporter the family is now in counseling. But the children say they miss making the videos. Dad, when are we making the next video. Where are we hispanic going to make the next video . It was just something that i looked forward to. Reporter the martin kids hope to make a comeback with more tasteful videos in the future. All right. Police are now investigating. To see if something criminal was taking place based on those videos. And yes, the family was monetizing this. They didnt want to get into how much money they made. They admit they were able to provide now some things for the kids they hadnt had before. They set up College Funds for the kids. So now, that is gone. But you all, im watching your reactions to this like, why, why, why . This was a perfect storm. They got instant fame. They got money that came quickly as well. They didnt know how to handle it. I created a beast with some of the videos. The ones showing them as happy family dont get views. When they push the envelope, use the profanity, have fights and arguments, they get those clicks. They kept trying to push the envelope and they lost their way. Thats part of the story, too. Its not just this family, but the fact that people are watching. And the more upsetting the video, the more popular it is. Reporter thats 100 the case. They knew it. They kept pushing the envelope. You dont do it at the expense of your kids. Thats the issue.
