get the visine out tomorrow. we got a lot more on that coming up. also hillary clinton bringing out the big guns on the trail. >> yeah, we just saw president obama. he was on "jimmy kimmel" last night, not holding back, having a lot of fun. even read some mean tweets. let's take a look. >> my mom bought new conditioner and it sucks. it isn't even conditioning my hair. i blame obama. barack obama, bro, do you even lift? well, i lifted the ban on cuban cigars. that's worth something. >> he had a lot of fun there. also got a little serious about donald trump. we'll have more on that in a moment. but first we want to get to that breaking news. there was a deadly accident on an amusement park water ride in australia. four people were killed. abc's linzie janis is here with the breaking new details. good morning, linzie. >> reporter: good morning, robin. this is a very common kind of or at least seen a ride like this one. it's considered one of the more tame attractions for families, even young children. that is what makes this deadly accident so terrifying. overnight four people killed in an amusement park accident. two men and two women died when a raft overturned on the thunder river rapids ride in australia. the water ride malfunctioning, throwing people from the raft and trapping others underneath. >> one of the rides have sustained a -- some sort of malfunction, causing two people to be ejected from a ride. another two people were caught inside the ride. >> reporter: park workers rushing to help the injured. horrified witnesses at the theme park describe the chaos after the incident. >> we just heard the guys in front of them flipped off. like, they turned around and saw the whole thing flip over. and heard everyone screaming. she came out hysterically crying and then two people that worked here took her away. raft floating down a rapid river pulling the raft along a conveyer belt. now investigators are trying to understand what caused the raft to flip over on the conveyer belt. australia's prime minister speaking out about the tragedy. >> it is a very sad day. and we trust that there will be a thorough investigation of the causes of this accident over the days that follow. >> reporter: according to australian reports of problems with the ride earlier in the day. investigators are going to be looking into that and poring over security camera footage to figure out what went wrong. the park is closed. >> i would imagine that, okay, thanks very much. we move on to that massive manhunt in oklahoma for a man who killed two relatives, attack police officers and civilians, and then live-streamed on facebook. jim avila is covering it from midwest city, oklahoma. good morning, jim. >> reporter: good morning, george. the feds, the fbi and u.s. search for michael vance. the man who shot six people, killed two of them, and wounded two police officers. he hasn't been seen for almost 24 hours. and police believe he could have died from his wounds. overnight, two oklahoma sheriff's deputies released from the hospital. victims of a violent rampage that has led to a statewide manhunt. >> two gunshot victims, that's affirmative to the leg and foot area. both patients are conscious. >> reporter: the man believed to be behind the attacks is labeled armed and dangerous. he's wounded and posted his getaway on facebook. >> let me tell you it hurts. >> even if we have the firepower, we certainly don't want to have to get engaged in a shootout with someone armed with an ak-47. if people see him, do not approach. >> reporter: 38-year-old michael vance suspected of murdering his aunt and uncle in a small town 35 miles outside of oklahoma city. and allegedly shooting those two police officers. and taking off in their patrol pickup with an ak-47. his getaway, stealing two different getaway cars. >> i'm about to steal another car like right now. this is gonna be intense. >> reporter: jonathan and his pregnant wife had their car taken from them at gunpoint. >> he's got an assault rifle and he tells us to get out of the car. >> letting you all know this is real, see that's a gun. that's the real deal. >> reporter: polly, standing on the side of the road watching the car-jacking, was shot in the leg. >> my boyfriend said, get down, get down. so i got down, but i had already been shot. >> reporter: vance displayed his own injuries on facebook. >> wow, that really hurt. see, i'm bleeding where the police shot me. >> reporter: police are warning the public that if they see this man to stay away. he's armed not only with an ak-47 but has a communicable disease that he's willing to >> oh, jim, thank you. the race for the white house two weeks to the day till election day and hillary clinton is leading in the polls and calling on her top surrogates including president obama to make her case. as donald trump takes media coverage into his own hands. abc's cecilia vega is here with all those details. good morning. >> reporter: good morning to you. two weeks to go and it is time for the closing arguments. donald trump is going after the immediate yoo also the. and those polls, claiming that they're rigged. hillary clinton is feeling so confident right now she's happy to let others do the attacking for her. donald trump claiming the system is rigged launched one of his famous attacks on the media overnight. >> these people are among the most dishonest people in the world, the media. >> reporter: and he's now trying to cut the media out of the equation altogether. launching a tv show on his facebook page, his aides there inside trump tower anchoring coverage leading up to his nightly rallies. the inaugural broadcast, not without some hiccups. >> what's going on? >> yep. >> reporter: on the other side, hillary clinton feeling so confident, she's now leaving her heavy hitting to others. from elizabeth warren. >> get this, donald. nasty women are tough. and on november 8th, we nasty women are going to march our nasty feet to cast our nasty votes to get you out of our lives forever. >> reporter: to joe biden. the gym if i were in high school. i mean, all kidding aside, wouldn't you? i mean, for real. >> reporter: even president obama getting in on the action on "jimmy kimmel." >> but what we haven't seen before, i think, is somebody questioning the integrity of elections and the will of the people. >> reporter: trump landing a spot on kimmel's mean tweets. the president all too happy to play along. >> president obama will go down states, exclamation point. @realdonaldtrump. well, @realdonaldtrump, at least i will go down as a president. >> reporter: yeah, ouch. so clinton is now feeling so confident she's not just campaigning for her own win on the top of the ticket but also for downballot candidates, too. both clinton and trump are in that battleground of florida today, where clinton has a lead in the polls, george, and voting is already under way. >> okay, cecilia, let's dig into the polls right now. our latest tracking poll out shows clinton holding that 12-point lead over trump. want to bring in jon karl to talk about where things stand and jon, clinton is really solidifying her hold on the race right now. >> reporter: absolutely. especially state by state where it really matters. our partners at fivethirtyeight now give hillary clinton nearly 84% chance of winning the election. and, george, understand why, take a look at our abc news race ratings. of course, the red states are trump. blue states, advantage, hillary clinton. right now, just in the states where hillary clinton is already leading, she gets to 308 electoral votes. that's more than enough to win the presidency. >> of course, it's possible that there's a massive shift that changes everything across the board. but absent that, let's look at what the most plausible path is for donald trump to get those 270 electoral votes. >> reporter: this is the way the trump team sees the race in their path. they take this map, they say they'll hang on to the traditionally red states of utah and arizona, convert nevada, win nevada, win the state of florida, they're still not there yet. win the state of north carolina. and then win the state of ohio, hang on to iowa, they're still not there yet, george. but then they win the state of new hampshire. that gets them to 269-269. then they have their eyes on the second congressional district of maine. a single electoral vote that would get them to 270 as you can see. a very narrow path to victory. four of those states, nevada, north carolina, new hampshire and pennsylvania, just about every public poll in the month of october has her ahead right now. and the early vote has started. >> reporter: yeah. and the early vote is not looking good for donald trump. we already have about 7 million americans that have voted. 1 million voted just yesterday. we don't know how they voted but we do have some information on who has voted. and if you look at the state of nevada, 52% of the ballots cast have been cast by democrats. only 30% by republicans. where when they won the race four years ago. north carolina, 55% of the ballots requested have been requested by women. and as you know, we have a big gender gap in this race. women are voting overwhelmingly for hillary clinton. >> okay, jon, thanks very much. >> all right, thank you, jon. let's bring in matt dowd. how are you doing, my friend? >> michael, i'm great. how are you? >> i'm good. we just heard jon talk about the poll numbers. and it seems like donald trump do you think he can pull it off? we saw how tough it could be for him, though. >> no candidate in modern times has come back being this far down at this far late in the process. nobody has ever done it. i think it will akin to the bills comeback against the oilers about 20 years ago. >> i was an oilers fan, yes, i do. >> four touchdowns down. in the fourth quarter. and they came back. he'll have to channel his inner doug flutie and need more than one hail mary. probably a couple of hail marys and a few our fathers. >> that's a lot to ask for. >> yes. >> our tracking poll has hillary clinton up by 12 but the jus only by 5. people want to know why is there such a major difference? >> i think it's important for the viewers to look at this and if i were everybody, i would take all the polls, average them and get to where the number realistically is. i think it's probably around seven or eight. when you have a seven or eight-point lead, you will have polls that are real, that are true, that will have her at 11 or 12. and polls that have her at four or five. if the number sits in the middle, that's why you get those two polls. >> we heard in cecilia vega's nasty women remarks. yet, in the new cnn poll, it shows trump is still getting 41% of women voters. does that tell you anything? >> even in a large electoral loss in a national loss, donald trump's going to get 55, 57 million votes in this election. even in a loss. and of that number he's going to get 25 or 30 million women votes in this. part is not just donald trump but it's a comparison between hillary clinton and many of those women dislike hillary clinton more than they dislike donald trump. >> jon, one of the things that the trump team seems to be counting on right now is that there's some kind of a systematic bias in all of these public polls. >> they think these polls are overstating democrats. they believe that there is a basically a hidden donald trump vote that is out there. a sort of silent majority to borrow nixon's phrase, that will carry him through. but, george, you would have to believe that all of these polls are off, including the state polls. >> okay, two weeks from today we will find out. now to bad weather on both square and, ginger, there's some major storms out west. >> robin, look at this. the lightning in newport beach, california. something you don't see every day. the video showing you there was a san diego high school football student or a football player that was struck by lightning. thankfully he is okay this morning. and that was just the first storm. there is another storm on the way. that's the one that went through. this one will impact parts of central and southern california by thursday into friday. look at some of those storms at 4:00 a.m. you could see some mudslides in some of the burn areas. and a quick look, robin, that freeze watch and frost advisory. it goes all the way from virginia up to massachusetts. >> oh, boy, we'll keep an eye on that. i know you will, ginger. thank you. now to amy with the morning's other top stories starting with the controversy over soldiers' bonuses. >> that's right. we have new details after the pentagon ordered some veterans to pay back the bonuses they received for serving in iraq and afghanistan. members of congress say they're outraged. but "the l.a. times" reports the california national guard told lawmakers about this issue two years ago and congress did nothing about it. ordered to repay the money because a national guard official handed out payments the soldiers didn't qualify for. a british airways flight from san francisco was forced to divert to vancouver. 25 people had to be checked out for possible smoke inhalation. no confirmation of the source of the problem on board. militants have launched a four-hour attack on a police academy in pakistan. at least 59 cadets and guards have been killed at the facility in quetta near the afghan border. isis and the pakistani taliban have claimed responsibility. and back here in this country, four teenagers are under arrest in philadelphia after a string of random attacks on the campus of temple university. surveillance video showing there a mob of up to 200 people assaulting and robbing students after they couldn't get into a local theater on friday. finally you don't want to see this on your commute and we certainly don't suggest you doing what this man did. he chased after his car, look at he had pulled over but forgot to use the parking brake. if not for a sign that eventually stops the car from rolling, this could have been a lot worse. and, of course, those drivers, thankfully, slowed down. but there he is, look, still running after his car. the other drivers did -- were able to avoid hitting him, thank goodness. i don't know what he thought he was going to do. did he think he would catch the car? >> he's been watching a lot of movies. somehow get in and stop the car. >> let's just say he wasn't thinking. >> he wasn't and thankfully, he's here to still think, though. that was from the thinking of the other drivers. >> good point. thank you. >> i appreciate that, amy. now, all eyes are on cleveland tonight. the indians are hosting game one of the world series against the cubs. and right across the street, the cavaliers are getting their nba championship rings. our cubs superfan paula faris is there in the middle of all of the chaos. good morning to you, paula. >> reporter: good morning, michael. that ring ceremony taking place here at quicken loans arena. played at progressive field. they changed times to accommodate the cleveland fans. and the fans feeling the winds finally blowing in their favor. tonight begins the tale of two cities, two teams in the best of times after decades of the worst of times. baseball gods are saying about this matchup? >> the baseball gods are probably really happy right now. >> reporter: the chicago cubs and the cleveland indians both hoping to break their curses and taking extra precautions. >> you want to wear the same underwear. you don't want to have to change your underwear out. i mean, you wash it, but -- >> reporter: the cubs dubbed the lovable losers haven't won the world series since 1908. but cleveland fans say chicago might be getting a bit greedy. in the past 50 years chicago has won 11 major sports championships. cleveland, only one. >> cleveland is a city of champions once again! >> reporter: and that was just a couple of months ago when the cavaliers finally broke that losing streak. stephen king even tweeting how about some love for the cleveland indians? go, tribe! cleveland essentially has been universally mocked as the "mistake by the lake." even movies like "major league" poking fun at the indians. >> every newspaper in the country has picked us to finish last. >> reporter: but now a renewed feeling of possibility. while much of america is pulling for the cubs, you have george stephanopoulos on your side. >> i'll take it for sure. >> reporter: so rementioned the move is i have "major league." cleveland fans were pushing for charlie sheen to dress up like his character and low out the first pitch. he said he would be honored if asked. but last night, he said he couldn't make it. so george, start warming up. >> i'm ready. coco's real answer is who is he? >> i don't care how many games you win, change your underwear. >> let's go to ginger. >> michael, decent tonight weatherwise. not as great tomorrow. your local weather in 30 seconds. first the tuesday trivia brought and coming up on "gma," former congressman gary condit breaking his silence, speaking out about the murder of intern chandra levy. and a woman watching a show about breakins when this happened.

"i was 20 years old and had no idea there was an off the i was naive." jackie says she felt like she was going to be misquoted but felt pressured by the magazine to participate in the story. and that when a friend of hers mentioned her concerns to the reporter, sabrina erdely, erdely responded, there is no pulling the plug at this point. the article is moving forward. it became their most read noncelebrity story ever. erdely highly critical of the uva administration including former associate dean nicole eramo. how would you describe how "rolling stone" portrayed you? >> it made it look like i used the trust of young women to cover up rain -- rapes. and that was so far from anything i would ever do. it's just unbelievable to me. >> reporter: eramo is suing erdely and the magazine for over $7 million saying she was painted as a chief villain. jackie disagreeing with the article's portrayal of eramo in her deposition, saying the dean never discouraged her from reporting the alleged assault, quote, she wanted to see me get some kind of justice. retracted. but jackie maintains that she was assaulted. testifying in deposition that while she believes erdely manipulated her story in order to write something sensational, she believes her intentions were good. i believe she did the best she could. and eramo is suing for more than $7 million saying the article damaged her reputation, her career, and her health. and this trial is expected to go on at least till the end of this week. >> okay, amy, thanks very much. >> keep our eye on that. and we have the big board coming up. coming up on our big board the first lady is being called a rock star on the campaign trail. but will she run for office next? we're going to find out about that. plus, what led to justin bieber's on-stage meltdown? is it too late to say sorry? see what i did there. >> ding, ding, ding, ding. >> in honor of you, amy. we're back in two minutes to talk about that. >> cheers, michael. i've been taking probiotics gx from nature's bounty to maintain healthy digestion and help with the occasional ing. so wherever i get stuck today, my "future self" will thank me. thank you. thank you. thank you. hang on, go go go back. thank you. do i get stuck in an air duct? it's a funny story really...

>> they think it may just keep the baby a little more alert. if it falls out you don't have to put it back but it's interesting. >> all right. so you're going to give us an example here because how many times do you see things that want to be beautiful and comfy but what's safe? >> you look at this and think, oh, my, it's so cozy and comfortable. it's exactly the wrong way to go. so let's make this safe. you want to get rid of the blankets, okay. those go in the basket. get rid of the pillow. >> all right. >> get rid of these nice lovely stuffed animals. >> i know. >> okay. you want to have a nice firm mattress, a tight fitting sheet and put the baby down on her back to sleep, and that is the no blanket but it's cold. people want to put something on the baby. what do you suggest? >> okay, so a couple things, first make the house comfortable so that you are comfortable wearing just a light outfit then you can put your baby down in one more layer than you would wear. so it can have a onesie and then a zip-up, okay, but no blankets because the blankets can entangle and can occasionally smother. >> just layer like we do. they're just like us. >> it may not be the way you like to sleep but the safest for your baby to sleep. >> that's what's most important. thank you, rich. coming up, "dancing's" booting couple maureen and artem are here live. come on back. ?

[ cheers and applause ] even though i tell my otherwise, because i can't stand the popping at the dinner table, it's actually a response of -- a release of gases within the joint. it's -- >> it's no big deal. >> to big deal. no scientific evidence to back up that it causes arthritis. >> okay, myth number two, heat is better than ice for sore joints. is that a myth or is that true? heat is better than ice for joints? a couple of truths in there. what do you say, todd. >> it's a myth. it actually -- it actually depends on the time of the day when you're using it. ice usually better in the evenings or after someone has been active on a joint and it's inflamed. it helps alleviate the pain. we usually recommend heat earlier in the day to warm the joins up or prior to exercise >> that's the way we do it and then ice. let's get up. we want to show you a couple of quick exercises. oh, wait. they're saying one more myth buster. when it comes to exercise, no pain no gain. is that true or a myth. >> what do we got? >> we got a mixed bag. >> it is a mixed bag. there's actually some truth to that and myth as well. >> all right, everybody wins. >> what's the deal? >> the truth is, a little bit of muscle soreness is normal. pain and soreness you experience for 24 to 36 hours after exercise in the muscles, good. intense sharper pain that you that's something where you want to avoid that exercise and, you know, seek attention from a medical professional. >> that throbbing, trust me, you'll know it. they're very different. that's exactly what we discovered. we'll have to do our exercises and do them and put them on our website because we've run out of time. thank you for all the myths and thank you guys for helping us participate. so much great information out there. really important to know so we'll definitely post that. coming up, cupcakes. supported joe arpaio but lately, he spends so much for time on tv ors... in court defending himself that he's not doing his job. he failed to serve warrants for violent crimes. he didn't even investigate when children were molested. and lawsuits against him have cost taxpayers over one hundred forty two million dollars. we need a new sheriff whose top priority is keeping our community safe. that's why this year, i'm voting for paul penzone. all right, back now with cupcakes and my friend and pastry chef candace nelson, she just released her first cookbook. i'm so proud of you. >> thank you. >> it's called the "the sprinkles baking book" with over 100 of her favorite recipes including one of my favorites from my own mother's kitchen. my mom's butter cake. welcome. >> thank you so much. chocolate cupcake and we've got our butter and sugar cream in here so we're just going to ramp that up a little bit and then add these eggs and i'm pretty excited because we are sharing this recipe and so many more in my cookbook. and this is actually my favorite recipe, got me -- >> you have a favorite cupcake. >> this is my favorite cupcake. got me through both of my pregnan pregnancies. >> you opened up your restaurant. it is the only cupcake -- only restaurant back in >> that's right. sprinkles started as a first cupcakes only bakery but you know what, we do so much more now. we're doing ice cream. we're doing cookies. and all of those recipes are in my cookbook which is launching today. >> yep. >> and i'm super excited because we've got my favorite recipes, we've got, you know, sprinkles recipes. >> a lot of friends' recipes and celebrity recipe. >>s we got some including your own momma's butter cake which is amazing. in the book. >> you know what, i love how sweet you are to your momma and i hope my boys are watching. i hope someday they honor me the way you always honor your momma. >> thank you. i appreciate that. hear that, momma. >> you got a good one. all right. so when your batter is done you want to scoop it with this. >> okay, i can do that. >> do a couple of those. you group up abroad like i did and how does that influence your like love of cooking and baking. >> you know what, i grew up overseas and always wanted to feel like i was part of my homeland, ameca up baking american desserts with my mom and led me to cupcakes, the great american dessert. it'll look like that and you'll throw it in a 350-degree oven for 18 to 20 minutes. kind of want to make sure the top is dry and that it's ready po pour. they're a delicate creature. >> we'll move on from my scooping. >> here we have our frosting which you'll find the recipe on the website. bittersweet chocolate and -- >> all healthy. >> all healthy. all good stuff. you want to use an offset spatula to create that nice handcrafted feel. >> mine doesn't look as ha handcrafted. mine looks a little disheveled. >> it looks extra handcrafted if what i love about this, it's perfect for halloween cupcakes because it's nice and black and you can throw anything on here like a little fondant ghost and sprile decorations. >> tons of cupcakes. ooh. a little ghost right there and the "the sprinkles baking book" is out today. make sure you go and get it. we'll be right back. you two are eating. we're over here working. you're eating.
