Is that godzilla . The monster gator caught on camera making huge headlines spotted taking a stroll in florida. Weighing in at 1,000 pounds the gigantic reptile almost 14 feet long now seen by millions up close and personal now with the dinosaur lookalike. I think i could outrun him. I dont want to try it but just think we can. Good morning, america. Just three days away from Donald Trumps inauguration as the 45th president of these United States. This is a live look at the National Mall in d. C. This morning where theyre gearing up for that big event. An estimated 700,000 to 900,000 are expected on friday. Some already arriving . That means a massive security effort. Federal force of 28,000, 6,000 local police and the city in lockdown mode right now. Federal employees being urged to work from home. And meanwhile, heres some signs of change in d. C. The dailymail. Com getting pictures of movers at the d. C. Home where president obama will move with his family after a needed vacation in palm springs. Quick effort to get president elect into the white house, as well. We have a brandnew abc News Washington post poll released just now. It shows some tough numbers for the president elect. Only 40 approve of how hes handled the transition. Half the number weve seen with recent president s like barack obama, george h. W. Bush. Jon karl here with more new numbers. Good morning, jon. Good morning, george. President elect trump will go into office with a majority of americans viewing him unfavorably. George, that is something we simply have never seen in the modern era. Just look at the numbers going all the way back to jimmy carter. Every newly elected president experiences some kind of honeymoon. Donald trump just 40 viewed favorably. But theres a contradiction here and its a fundamental one. Most americans have High Expectations for how hell handle the big issues. 60 believe hell do an excellent job the economy. 56 believe hell do an excellent good job handling terrorism. So, viewed unfavorably but still, george, High Expectations for his presidency on those issues. There has been some improvement for the president elect on the number of americans who see him qualified to hold the office. You know, its come down its come up since the campaign but you still have a majority of americans, 52 see him as unqualified for office. And whats driving that in our new poll, george, is that a majority, a big majority, 61 simply do not trust donald trump to make the right decisions. And if you look at some of the other issues, low expectations for how hell handle international crises. Low expectations for how hell handle race issues. Gender issues and health care. The whole issue of russian hacking of the elections still hanging over this transition. You had about twothirds of americans who believe russia hacked the election and twothirds, about twothirds say they were trying to help donald trump. Yeah and a vast majority think trump has not handled this issue well. Look at that number. Youve got 35 barely a third of voters prove of how hes handled the hacking issue. Jon karl, thanks very much. George now to the reaction over Donald Trumps comments on nato. His comments creating tension with our allies overseas. Abcs cecilia vega is at the white house with more details about that. Cecilia. Reporter robin, good morning to you. Tonight could be the night for donald trump to make nice with some of those allies in what the first big kickoff to this week. Donald trump here in an exclusive dinner in washington, 200 foreign diplomats there, their first chance to come facetoface at his big swearing in. After his mlk weekend war of words with the civil rights leader, president elect donald trump making a surprise trump tower appearance with none other than Martin Luther kings own son. The goal is to bring america together. Reporter but overseas the soontobe 45th president of the United States shocking and igniting fear in some of americas closest allies. Trump bashing nato, the longtime political and military alliance of 28 countries from north america and europe. And i said a long time ago that nato had problems. Number one, it was obsolete because it was, you know, designed many, many years ago. Reporter and refusing to say who he trusts more, Germanys Angela Merkel or Russias Vladimir Putin. I start off trusting both, but lets see how long that lasts. It may not last long at all. Reporter as for merkel. I think she made one very catastrophic mistake and that was taking all these illegals in, you know, taking all of the people from wherever they come from. Reporter but the president elect did have big praise for brexit. That United Kingdom withdrawal from the european union. I think brexit is going to end up being a great thing. Reporter the reaction swift, merkel saying we europeans have our fate in our own hands. And National Security adviser susan rice coming to her defense. Its very hard to understand how one could equate angela merkel, the chancellor of germany, one of our very closest allies in the world with vladimir putin. Reporter this morning the cia director is in a heated war of words with donald trump. John brennan saying he is not the one would leaked that dossier on russia telling the wall street journal, robin, that he does not want to give that dossier any Additional Air time. Cecilia, thank you. We want to bring in martha raddatz, ask her a little bit more on what cecilia just said there about the cia director. What do you make of that, martha . Reporter well, brennan said the idea that he leaked that was repugnant and he said tell the families of those 117 cia officers who gave their lives for the country that their loved ones were akin to nazis, very sobering words, robin, but dont expect an apology from donald trump. He is continuing to fight back. Were talking about trumps words about nato. Its a different tone than what some of his cabinet picks are saying. Reporter it is, robin. If president elect trumps grand strategy here is to keep our adversaries and allies confused and guessing as to what a Trump Administration holds for them, he has been successful already. I dont know whether this is a Good Cop Bad Cop scenario but what donald trump is saying is very different than what his cabinet picks said at confirmation hearings. Trump calls nato obsolete. His nominee for secretary of state says the commitment to nato is secure and his nominee for defense secretary james mattis says nato is vital to our National Interests and to the security of the u. S. And vital to the protection of the freedoms of the democracies were allied with. Well see how much influence they have. Quickly, how has the reaction been from other european leaders about this . Reporter as cecilia said its pretty astonishing. They are watching this very closely. They just dont know how to react at this point. Thank you, robin. Now that dangerous ice storm heading to the northeast and, ginger, you have the latest. Michael, you know its bad when you have to skate instead of drive. Thats what theyre doing in la crosse, wisconsin. That storm is still with us moving to the north and east, even stretching as far south as louisiana and texas. Down there its storms and rain right in this part, the northeast going to get ice but were not done with it for another 18 hours. Overnight, that deadly ice storm glazing roads from the midwest to the northeast. Even sending plows off the road near des moines, iowa, and this car sliding into a frozen lake. Encrusting lights, cars, everything in west michigan. In south dakota, this semi lost control on the ice spilling oranges all down the highway. It caught me by surprise. Reporter in nebraska trees and roadways covered with almost an inch of ice. And in la crosse, wisconsin, kids actually skating on the streets. On the Southern Side of the storm a big rig driver spotting this tornado in houston. The National Weather service confirming at least three tornadoes in texas, now crews are cleaning up the mess. The strong winds ripping the window panes off this dallas skyscraper. Winds up to 60 Miles Per Hour plowing through marietta, oklahoma, this floor to dirt from the ceiling torn off. Parts of minnesota, those go until noon in general but in the east weve got this, again, for much of our tuesday, watch out as this comes through, majority of the i95 corridor will remain rain but start to mix in with a wintry mix west of boston, say worcester especially as everyone makes their ride home tonight, in that winter storm warning in places, four to even seven inches of snow could fall and eventually by wednesday morning this stuff starts to get out. I have to mention quickly a huge change for the west, more rain on the way, an ice storm warning in portland, portland, oregon, you guys, has had nine snow days already. They rarely get one. Nine already. Big stuff and san diego, l. A. , about to get hit with a lot of water too. My kids are jealous. They havent had a snow day. Move on to breaking news, the search for Malaysia Airlines 370 has finally ended after three years covering 46,000 miles, 239 died when the plane disappeared without a trace and abcs lama hasan is in london with the story. Good morning, lama. Reporter good morning to you, george. Thats right. The hunt for Malaysian Airlines flight mh370 has been called off. This morning a joint statement, the transport ministers of malaysia, china and australia, issuing it saying, after spending more than 160 million and despite every effort to find the plane using the best science available and cuttingedge technology scouring a desolate stretch of the indian ocean no trace has been found of the boeing 777. The ministers adding the decision to suspend the underwater search was neither taken lightly nor without sadness. George. And, lama, any reaction from the families yet . Reporter yeah, george, as you can imagine this is devastating for the families of the victims, 239 souls lost when the plane vanished nearly three years ago. This morning the families calling this decision irresponsible, demanding they extend the search. One australian woman saying, quote, they promised they would bring them home and now theyre just giving up so a very difficult time for the friends and families of the victims. You can see why they want those answers. Thanks very much. New developments now in that new years terror attack that left 39 dead in istanbul. Turkish police say that the alleged gunman has confessed to opening fire in that crowded nightclub. Abcs Alex Marquardt is in moscow with the very latest on this. Good morning, alex. Reporter good morning, robin. Thats right. The attacker apprehended after 16 days on the run. He was arrested in an istanbul apartment after fears that he might try to escape the city, even slip across the border into syria. Istanbuls governor this morning identified the attacker as abdulkadir masharipov, a citizen of uzbekistan. He said he confessed to the attack that left 39 dead after new years eve at the reina nightclub. His fingerprints match at the scene and found with two pistols on him as well as 197,000 in cash. The governor saying it is clear this attack was carried out in the name of isis. And, ailing lex, do we know more about isis possible involvement you just mentioned . Reporter well, thats what the authorities will be looking into, whether there are any direct ties between the attacker and isis. Its clear there was a significant level of support. Remember, isis has claimed responsibility for this attack saying it was in response to turkeys actions against the group in iraq and syria. They also said that the shooter was what they called a soldier of the caliphate, robin. All right, alex, thank you. A Health Warning now, two reports raising big concerns about a ride in super buildings that can resist even the most powerful antibiotics. Dr. Richard besser is here. This is what you might call a nightmare scenario. The first report came from cdc, a woman in nevada who died from an infection resistant to all antibiotics licensed in the u. S. She had been hospitalized in india and probably brought it back. The second report out of boston looked at how commonly these resistant bacteria are found in our bodies and found them more commonly than expected. Bacteria pick up resistance from other bacteria and spread person to person making the hospital very dangerous for people. So, what can people do to protect themselves. Whenever youre prescribed an antibiotic ask do i really need it for this condition . The second is if youre hospitalized tell your doctor if youve ever been in a medical facility overseas so they can test you and isolate you. And lastly before anyone touches you, make sure theyve washed their hands. Thats the most important thing. So key, rimpf besser, thanks very much. Michael. Thank you, george. Now to that deadly shooting at a popular nightclub in mexico. Five killed including an american woman. At least 15 more were injured when americans among them. Abcs matt gutman is this los angeles with the latest. Good morning, matt. Reporter hey, good morning, michael. We now know there are at least five americans among the casualties. Investigators have ruled out terror and are searching for a man who apparently tried to bring a gun into the club when Security Guards tried to stop him. A gunfight broke out resulting in a stampede of hundreds of partygoers and carnage. Instantly the beat of the music gave way to the staccato of gunfire and those screams. Five were killed and 15 wounded when a gunman opened fire in this packed nightclub in the mexican resort town of Playa Del Carmen early monday and this morning we learned four americans were among the wounded and among those killed near the dance floor Alejandra Villanueva ibar from denver. Her brother telling our denver affilia affiliate. Just trying to figure out how well bring my sister back. Reporter her friend Ignacio Valencia was right there. I was in shock and i didnt want to leave my friend either but i couldnt pick her up because i was also injured. Reporter he himself had been shot in both arms. Im lucky because the bullets just went through and nothing was inside of them. Reporter another of the bullets fired hit Heather Parham from spokane, washington, in the back side. Ibara, the american, had been crushed in the stampede to flee the shooting. Fellow american bria didson was also trampled on. There was so much pain, i cant stand. Im crying and begging people to help me. No one is helping. Theyre running. Its hard to think about what could have happened. Reporter at first some of the crowd attending a weeklong electronic Dance Festival didnt react. These people only starting to run when they see a body in the street. You hear them yell, run, into the bathroom now. Now, that young woman who was killed, Alejandra Villanueva was only 18 years old. Her little brother told us he started a go fund me campaign to help their single mother. In several cases recently the drug war has spilled over into mexican resorts popular with americans but mexican officials are saying this one started as a personal dispute and was an isolated incident. Guys. Yeah, but the result so incredibly sad. Lets turn to amy for the other top stories developing. Good morning, everyone. Three men working on a road project in key largo have died after Authorities Say those men inhaled toxic fumes underground. A firefighter who climbed down a 15foot hole trying to rescue them is now in critical condition. He had to leave his air pack behind because it was too big to get through that hole. Well, General Motors is announcing a 1 billion investment in its u. S. Factories. The company says the move will create or keep about 1,000 jobs.

The last person to walk on the moon has died. Before leaving the lunar surface back in 1972, gene cernan wrote his daughters initials in the moon dust. The former Navy Test Pilot and abc news analyst was 82. Well, a Close Encounter for fishermen off florida. Look at that. A 12foot shark came leaping out of the water to grab their bait. They said it jumped out of the water several types before eventually swimming away 30 minutes later. What a show. But guess what, heres the real star when it comes to an mile sightings in florida. Look at that guy. Only described really as a monster alligator at this nature reserve. Some calling him godzilla. Doesnt he look hes so chill. Moving slowly, taking his time. Maybe its because he weighs 1,000 pounds, 13 feet long. One woman there admits she should have been afraid but she was just in awe. She posted nature at its best. Not sure that would have been the caption in my book but probably pretty cool to see from a disance. A lot more chill than i would be. I wonder if other gators look and go, man, youre a big gator.

The widow of the gunman who murdered 49 people before being killed by police is now facing charges and expected in court today in connection with that deadly attack. Abcs linzie janis is here with more on this story. Good morning, linzie. Reporter good morning. Authorities have been looking into noor salman ever since the attack questioning her, even giving her a polygraph test and now seven months later they are charging her for allegedly assisting her husband. This morning, noor salman, the widow of alleged pulse nightclub shooter omar mateen appearing to appear before a judge. Salman seen here the night after the attack now charged with aiding and abetting and obstruction of justice. The fbi arresting her monday near san francisco, neighbors stunned to learn she had been living there with her young son. You never know. Whats happening next door. Reporter the fbi focusing on salman almost immediately after the shooting confronting her with Surveillance Video of her and mateen shopping for ammunition investigating trips they made to orlando, had they been scouting targets . Sources telling abc news at the time salman told investigators mateen left the house the night of the attack with a bag of guns. And that she begged him not to go but in november, salman reportedly telling the New York Times that she thought mateen was out with a friend that night until she got a call at around 4 00 a. M. From his mother looking for him. Police releasing the text she said she exchanged with him that morning. Mateen asking her do you see whats happening . She replied, no. His response, i love you, babe. In a statement to abc news monday, salmans lawyers claim she was physically abused by her husband and say she had no foreknowledge, nor could she predict what omar mateen intended to do that tragic night. Salmans own fatherinlaw telling us no one in the family knew about his sons plans. Have you spoken to his wife today . Yes. Did she know anything about his plans . Not that i know. Reporter salman is due in federal court in oakland, california, later this morning. Shes expected to be extradited to orlando where shell be prosecuted. Her lawyers tell us they will not fight extradition. Robin. All right, linzie, thank you very much. Well bring in dan abrams for more. I dont have to tell you how serious those charges are. What does it say to you about what authorities suspect her role may have been. Its saying that the authorities are charging her for activities before this happened and after it happened. Meaning before for aiding and abetting. Meaning in some way providing some level of material support, assistance, help, doesnt mean she was an accomplice but means they believe she helped in some way, shape or form. I think that even more surprising than that is theyre also charges her for obstructing justice after the fact. Meaning crime is committed. Authorities begin investigation and they believe shes obstructed that investigation. Why is that surprising . Because up to this point we had heard that she was cooperating with the authorities and typically when someone cooperates with the authorities they dont get charged with obstructing justice but it seems clear the authorities believe there are inconsistency in her story and dont believe her. Youve been following this since the attack. Is there anything else thats been surprising to you. Its in particular those sort of inconsistencies. There its the fact that theyre highlighting those inconsistencies and seem to be focusing on them, for example, did she warn did he warn her in any way of the attack. Meaning at one point she may have said that she tried to talk him out of it and then at another point said i had no idea anything about it. There were techs between them as we saw in linzies piece, et cetera. So thats going to be the focus of this. But i think that the other question is going to be her mental state. Some are claiming she has some sort of learning disability. She may use that as some sort of defense. Right, so typically it wouldnt be a defense, right. You wouldnt be able to say, i shouldnt be convicted of a crime because ive got a learning disability. That wont work. The question is, could it work to say, i didnt know what he was going to do. Meaning it was so subtle that maybe someone else would have understood it but she gets up there on the stand, she talks about what she knew and talks about her abilities and maybe, maybe jurors believe, you know what, i kind of think this was an abused woman who didnt have who didnt have all her mental capacities there and as a result, i think maybe she didnt understand what she was doing. Thats a possible defense. But typically when youre talking about mental state it comes into sentencing and not into guilt. See what happens. Dan, thanks very much. Michael.

Its breaking records for money raised from rich donors. The big question, what are they getting in return . Our chief investigative correspondent brian ross is on the case at the trump hotel in washington. Good morning, brian. Reporter good morning, george. Donald trump is certainly no stranger to producing and starring in his own tv reality shows. But whats going to happen here on friday does not compare. Its meant to be his toric, grander, classier and without a doubt much more expensive. Close to some 200 million. Much as he did with his beauty pageants. Money money money reporter and his nbc program the apprentice the president elect is reported to be personally involved in the tiniest of details for his inauguration. American taxpayers as they have for years will pay for the official part of the program which standins were practicing this week. Some 115 million for the platform in front of the capitol along with security and other trappings of power. But another 90 million to 100 million much more than ever before will come from private money, corporations and the wealthy who can choose from the trump menu of inauguration packages including tickets to an exclusive candlelight dinner, a concert and fireworks and an inaugural balance. They wanted a Million Dollars for these eight tickets. You could buy for half a million you can get four tickets but i needed eight so i had to send him a Million Dollars so of the 90 million, im a Million Dollars of that. Reporter casino owner phil ruffin was his Business Partner and vice chair of the inaugural committee. Staying at the new trump hotel. 18,000 a night, guaranteed five nights, so its pricey. Reporter indeed the place for anyone courting the next president is trumps own hotel just down pennsylvania avenue from the white house. Already the bar scene here jammed with washingtons new alist. Not necessarily people who foe where the fork and knife go at the dinner table but know how to get things done. Reporter all for a president who said he didnt need special interests and their money. He wanted to drain the swamp. I dont need anybodys money. Im using my own money. Im not using the lobbyists or donors, i dont care. Im really rich. Reporter but now Trumps Inaugural Committee is taking huge contributions from some of the biggest corporations that will toad a Good Relationship with the next president. Big banks seeking to limit government regulations, corporations which want to approval for giant mergers and americas billionaire elite like phil ruffin. We will know a lot of people there, people weve done business with and people we know. Im looking forward to it. Reporter for now the names of those private doeng fors are being kept secret. Under the law theres no limit to how much they can give and their names do not have to be divulged for at least three months. That 100 million in private money probably more than they need to cover the number of people coming to the inaugural so what happens with the excess . Reporter whatever is left over will be given to charity and mr. Trump always likes to bring his projects in on time and under budget, george. Brian ross, thanks very much. On the view Jennifer Holliday will discuss her decision not to perform at the inauguration and over to michael.

So, the study was conducted, conducted it in israel and they looked at decisionmaking when people when doctors, medical teams are faced with people who are rude and took 40 teams from newborn intensive care units from around the country and put them through a training exercise. Half the team has a parent who was just fine and half the team has a parent who was incredibly rude and what they found was and then the teams had to work through scenarios with a very sick child, it was a mannequin. The teams that had the parent that was very, very rude, they didnt perform as well. They couldnt make a diagnosis as quickly or treat as quickly. They werent sharing information as well. Clearly the parents got in their heads and it led to a bad outcome. But i think the point here, you guys, and we all know this, whatever profession youre in, theres no such thing as optimal or ideal circumstances whether its sports or television, whether its medicine, and the fact of the matter is medicine is a little different and we have to be we are trained to be able to make diagnostic decisions and execute treatment under stressful and emotional situations, but i was stunned at how high the number is for medical errors just because someone says i dont like that tie. And didnt put it aside. Go ahead. We dont know what they immediate by rudeness. Emotional situation. Exactly. Your child is ill. Youre going to be screaming. Youre going to be what they said to the team was, i wish we could have our child in a better hospital not a third world hospital like this. It was just like, just frank rudeness. But a question is what has been some of your personal experiences . Because you both have treated children. Yeah, you know, i i know when ive had a parent who was rude, not just concerned but that rudeness, it gets in your head. And it can affect how you are. It gets you off your game in a way thaw dont want to be . Wow. But i think also there have been a lot of other studies, this is just the latest and ones have shown an increase rate of medal errors even when it comes from within the medical team. This is a treatment just like you and were a team in the hospital. We function on a team and theres doctor to doctor rudeness, nurse to doctor rudeness. Nurse to nurse rudeness. It does throw people off but i deep down inside really feel like we have to be held to a little bit of a higher standard in medicine because we are making life and death decisions here, the stakes are a little higher with all due respect than saying like im going to blow this play or im going to miss youve both been on teams. Whats it like when you have a coach or a teammate who is rude. Can you play your best . No. Not as much as i think but we should point out its not intentional these mistakes that were saying . Exactly. Not intentional. What was really fascinating was that if they worked with a team ahead of time, they put them through a computer simulation ahead of time, it could blunt the affect and so they werent impacted by the rudeness so may be things you can do in training people, for me its meditation. But there are things you could do to get people not to be affected. Lets hold hands. Start right now. Everybodys human and everybody is affected by somebody elses attitude towards them . Exactly. So, treat your doctors nicely, everybody. The moral of that story. And next up, the battle for the super bowl is heating up this weekend. It is what they consider the old guys leading the charge. Four veteran nfl quarterbacks all over 30 will take the field why are you laughing at me already . All take the field sunday proving age is just a number and a guy who says that every day, jesse palmer is here, and, jesse, 30 in most professions is young. In football you consider ancient but are you surprised that the old guard is at this point and most of the Young Players arent, you know, this far along in the playoff . That theyve taken over the old guard. Not at all, michael. I think when you look at the four quarterbacks in ben roethlisberger, tom brady, Aaron Rodgers, matt ryan, all four guys are playing at such a high level right now, three of them are up for mvp consideration in the nfl. Its been remarkable and to me call me biased i think the quarterback position is the toughest position in team sports. Biased. Theres just no substitute for experience. Matt ryan is like the young pup in his ninth year. These guys have been in the wars and been in the big games. Three remaining have already won super bowls and that experience at quarterback is something that teams like miami and oakland and houston, even dallas, they didnt have and a lot of those teams obviously eliminated right now. I do think its interesting of the four remaining all four are making over 20 million a year so you get what you pay for and thats exactly what these teams are saying. I notice you made that comment via satellite. You wouldnt say that in studio facetoface with michael strahan. He would take you down. Im safe up here. Break down break down the matchups coming up. Robin, weve got two awesome quarterback duels, in tafc, i love ben roethlisberger, hes played so well this year dealing with injuries. Hes been tough. I just think having to beat tom brady at home at Gillette Stadium in foxborough is going to be too difficult. Tom brady is playing in his 11th afc championship game, consider this, three franchises since 1970 have played in more championship games at the conference level than tom braid dough so i like the patriots winning and nfc, the Atlanta Falcons have had the best offense of the nfl all year, matt ryan at quarterback played at mvp caliber but Aaron Rodgers is at a different level and i think he wills them to win and going with new england against green bay in the super bowl. Ooh. Tom brady said about Aaron Rodgers, when hes on i usually stay up and watch. That says something. Of course hes trying to get in his head a little bit. I dont think. Thats positive reinforcement. He should be more negative. You took some heat. You said the cowboys were not going to make it. Yeah. And you were right. Everybody in dallas is mad. Im sore,i dallas. I just called it how i saw it. I almost retweeted you. Dont do it. Drop the mike moment. Well be right back. amanda my name is amanda and i smoked while i was pregnant.

Lots of families expected to be out for the inauguration but the day after hundreds of thousands are expected to gather right here to voice their concerns on the first day of the new Trump Administration. Its a protest that started with women but has come to encompass many causes, growing so large that the grandmother who started it all tells us shes flabbergasted. I march for her and him. We march because your generation will build a wall and our generation will knock it down. Reporter it could be one of the largest demonstrations ever in the nations capital.

C. , turning their Election Night concerns into a positive movement. But what you might not know is this female driven march was sparked about i a single Facebook Post the day after the election. I wanted to do something. I wanted to take action. Reporter disappointed by thumps win on Election Night 60yearold grandmother teresa shook from hawaii took to facebook in hopes of becoming a small voice for womens rights and with her four granddaughters in mind she wrote five simple words. I wrote, i think we should march. Reporter within a few hours 40 women had replied agreeing and by the next day, 10,000 women were in. Helping fan those flames the four cochairs of the womens march organization that have been working nonstop since election day to turn that Facebook Post into reality. But the scope of the march is now so much bigger than Election Night angst. With many groups coming to voice their concerns about the incoming Trump Administration. One of our goals for this march is to display what it looks like when the progressive movements are working together when you have climate justice, racial justice, immigrant right, women womens reproductive rights. Reporter organizers say its also about families as everyday mothers and daughters Work Together for a common goal. In we also want the world to know that women are leaders and that we want to show our children especially our daughters that they can be the next generation of leaders, ras well.

Has been watching closely and has a lot of advice for nick and the women competing for the final rose and our nick, nick watt is live in los angeles with the story. Good morning, nick. Reporter michael, i have an unhealthy fascination with what happens to bachelor and bachelorette contestants once they leave the show. Therefore, i was very happy to go and see ali f. To find out what she thinks of nick who she calls the sexy bachelor. Its the season six finale, beautiful bachelorette ali is all about endless love with roberto. Yes. Reporter that was then. This is now. Reporter now shes mom to sixmonthold molly. Thats her saying i want to be the bachelorette 2027. Reporter dad is saying, oh, god. Shell be 10 issue molly has her own instagram by the way and daddy aint roberto. He is kevin. A radio host and ali is a fulltime blogger who live in los angeles with their dog owen. Were like in bed last side and said were happy. Reporter ali a contestant on season 14 of the bachelor made some waves talking about the current season. Right in front of these oh, my god. Theres a lot of sexuality on this season. I mean second episode in theres been two topless girls, i want them to know theyre better than this. Nick is like considered the sexy bachelor so i feel like the girls on this season feel the need to play up their sexuality for that reason. Who do you think will win. Two frontrunners and corrine and then this girl raven. Shes a little southern belle, very sweet, very cute. Advice for nick. Dont put too much pressure in staying in a relationship that isnt necessarily right. Reporter what did happen to roberto . There was a lot of heavy love talk. We fell in lust on the show. You think youre in love but really, really you dont know that person. When you get engaged you probably spent a total of 72 hours with that person. We went back into the real world and we realized we werent right for each other. Do you still talk to each other. We dont keep in touch. Why would you . Do you keep in touch with your exgirlfriends . Oh and were out of time. Now, ali and kevin say they have a deal. She doesnt make him watch her canoodling with other dudes in hot tubs on her old episodes of the bachelorette and he doesnt make her look at photos of him making out with old girlfriends. I dont believe he has those. I think hes bluffing. I dont let anybody see any of the canoodling i do. Keep it to myself. The bachelor is on monday night at 8 00 eastern right here on abc. And, everybody, when we come bark the man himself, matthew mcconaughey, he is here live. You dont want to miss that. Good morning, im Tamala Edwards much 8 27 now on this tuesday january 17th.

Eastbound side still pretty much a solid line from past route 22 82 in coatesville through this point at 340 out to 322. But the good news is just within the last few minutes the accident there that caused that colossal jam cleared out of the way. Still though just 4 Miles Per Hour. Might want to consider using business route 30 or the eastbound turnpike until things get cleared up on the bypass. Still have that truck off the blue route northbound side approaching ridge pike at conshohocken. Mostly off to the side but some slowing coming north of the schuylkill. Southbound is actually slower coming out of the midcounty toll plaza. Have a crash to watch out for in upper darby at garrett and spring ton there by the Treasure Island academy. Wrapping up an opening at the tacony palmyra bridge. Thats jammed. Ben franklin bridge is jammed into center city with speeds like 8 miles an hour and patco trains rolling over the ben looking at 15 to 20 minute delays because of equipment issues. Tam.

Can you take the challenge, five words for your kids. Five words for my kids, weve got a lot of musical, we got an architect, we got a scientist and monarch. Yeah. Ill save the fifth word. Youll save the fifth word. Got to wish your mom a belated 85. 85th birthday. [ applause ] yeah. There she is. You know, heres her secret i may have shared before. Number one her favorite word is yes. Okay. But i said, mom, i said no one forgives themselves quicker than you. I go do you have anything at the end of the day where you have any sort of regret or i could work on that and id like to do better, she goes, honey, every single night when i go to bed, i have a long list of those things but the thing is, when i wake up in the morning i forgot them all. Well, people are saying your new one is unforgettable. Gold. It is just that, gold. And the transformation that weve seen you done it before. Is it more difficult to have to gain weight for a role or lose weight. Its more fun to gain it. How did you gain it for this one . Whatever, whenever. Six months of straight anything i want to eat or drink for six months at any time of day say yes and if i secondguess myself you have to have double, mcconaughey. What did you mainly cheeseburgers and beer. Well, the biggest thing is did you enjoy it. Absolutely. No, i never got tired of it and i thought i was going to get lethargic and not sleep well and i learned another lesson on this thing. The only reason you get tired when youre indulging when you think of quitting. So dont be a quitter, kids. Im talking six months, you know, not years of it. Cold turkey. I didnt take the stairs to the second floor. [ laughter ] it was fun. But you know Something Else in this movie which i watched last night and i loved it and, you had to mess with a real tiger. How . And that was real. That was real. And they scheduled this scene where i touch this tiger for the last scene in the film, you know anything about scheduling, that means if something goes down you got all the mcconaughey stuff and the footage so its okay. And im a producer so i had something to do with the scheduling. Yeah, it is clever scheduling. I did touch the tiger. Im not acting in this scene. Im scared. Im sweating. How did they try to reassure you about the tiger. That was funny. The trainer who seemed to be a commonsensical man, i said, so give me the real skinny. Whats the real danger. He said it is a meat eating mammal and he goes, i have fed it so its not really hungry, but its very young as well so hes very curious. If he gets curious, he could lunge. I said so i cant stop him from lunging but after that i can get him out of the way. So i take the first swat. Hi there. The essence of this movie, i love this story. This guy is a dreamer. Yep. He does not give up on that dream in no. At all and with the goal in mind of gold. Of gold. I mean this is a man who literally has a dream. Yeah. And then the next morning, hawks a watch and buys a one way ticket to indonesia to chase it down and talking in football terms he throws five hail marys and catches his own pass. His dream was it was in indonesia. He had a dream he knew the guy that knew where it was that he met eight years ago. And bought a one way ticket to indonearby to chase it down. Turns out the real jungle was on wall street. The concrete jungle. Larger bite than the indonesian jungle. The twists and turns, you think you know where its going and you really dont. You were really drawn to the story on a personal level. Yeah, yeah, i i mean, hes a Great American archetype, kenny wells, and i grew up a lot of my father was in this role and a lot of people my fidelity with was in the role and would take me around the country and wed go office to office to collect from people that owed him money and bring your 12yearold son and you shame some people into paying you back and loved a shady deal would love to overpay for a hot watch behind the abandoned strip mall than he would go to the mall and buy the watch. And it didnt matter if he took or whatever, it was the you know, you look in the air, like are the helicopters following us . You just bought a hot watch. But he loved it. Lets give everybody a little taste of it. Please. 267,434. Its not exactly a number i had in my mind, wells. Borrow. You know what, truth is thats it for now. Can you make it work . Hmm . I can make anything work. Work out of a bar, will. Keeping a lid on expenses, mike. Making the dolla holla. [ cheers and applause ] mike making the dolla holla. That was Edgar Ramirez your costar who you play best friends in the movie and youve become best friends but i hear you dive into these things you wanted it to seem genuine so you guys have a secret pact. First when i met edgar in indonesia, i said alsos take a walk and took a walk. You know, if you keep if youre good at keeping a secret you dont ever tell anyone but youre great at keeping a secret. Ultimate way of keeping a secret, i believe is if i share something with you and you and i are in a tenfoot dingy in the middle of the pacific ocean, if i bring it up youll be like i dont know what youre talking about. Thats really keeping a secret. S that a taking it almost past the grave once you their it, you forget it and thats the secret that we have. Thats good. The director wanted to know some answers, the producer wanted to know answers and we were like, none of your business. But it works because you watch this film and you can tell this is you guys have a genuine relationship in this movie that goes beyond just the film is about loyalty and friendship and two people doing it on a handshake. Awesome. Everything you do, every role you play, matthew, you bring us with you. Thank you for that. You really thank you for that. [ applause ] thanks a lot. You got it.

All right, ginger, thank you now to my conversation with the wonderful nia long one of the stars taking on the new remake of the classic beaches. She talks about the challenge doing a revamp of a blockbuster and how she made the role her own. Good morning, america. So, you are taking on one of my favorite movies of all time. What was that like to take on a movie like beaches, its so iconic. What was it like for you. Very intimidated. I think, you know, i grew up watching the film. Im such a huge film of bette midler and barbara hershey, theyre iconic and powerful women so when it came along i was nervous but i thought lifetime has a way of celebrating women. This is also not a word for word copy. Absolutely. This is a new twist on a classic tale. Obviously im an africanamerican woman and so there were things about the character that i wanted to just play her a little closer to home. So still very emotional but your own take. So emotional. The scenes where my character actually passes away, it took us a week. You gave away the ending. Everyone knows the ending, dont they . Spoiler i think Everybody Knows the e ending. Beaches which makes it tricky. Which makes it tricky so you have to die differently. Your costar idina menzel in the bette midler role. I know. What was that like in first of all i fell in love with her when she was doing wicked. I remember going to see wicked and i was like who is this girl . Shes amazing and shes strong. Her voice. Did i ever tell you youre my hero theres a part in the film where we sing and im like, i cant believe im singing with her and shes line, no, you have a really good vous but my voice is teeny tiny. And shes got a voice. I made my voice smaller because i wanted her voice to be the one everyone hears so i was a little nervous. Im like, la. Very tiny. You are the wind yes, exactly. You are the wind beneath nye winging exactly. Beaches airs this saturday on lifetime and now for dancing with the stars and michael. All right. Oh, i got to take it back. Take it back. That was laras brainchild, everybody. All right, the sold out tour, dancing with the stars live we came to dance is here to perform for us.

Amazing, amazing, very handsome like the parents and its a blessing. You know, its changed the dynamic of our family. Changed my brother. His name is very unusual because its the first ever. What kind of uncle are you . What kind of uncle are you . You know, im trying to be the best uncle i could be and i want to spoil him. I dont think he really understands much right now but as soon as hes able to comprehend the love that he has around him, i think hes going to be a very spoiled young man. You know, speaking of when he grows up and looks back at many so of these throwback photos this is one of those things. Outfits are a throwback. Did you think you would be wow. Winning mirror ball trophies when you were back then . [ applause ] look at that. Gold. Please, theres a lot of regret in my life. Thats probably one.
