Her inappropriately. This photo by tmz now a key piece of evidence. The courtroom battle about to get under way. And good morning, america. We hope you all had a good weekend.

Texas to new york city on alert right now and lets go right to ginger for the very latest. Good morning, ginger. Heavy rain already falling from Eastern Kentucky right through parts of pennsylvania and this is after a weekend with damaging and severe storms and also all that flash flooding. Up to 8 inches of rain inundating kansas city and now the storms barreling east. High winds nearly ripping the roof off this store in texas and new orleans saturated after nearly a foot of rain fell over the weekend. Its really crazy. You cant go out your front door. This storm leaving a trail of destruction in northwest missouri sending emergency crews to rescue stranded drivers. But the hardest hit area, tulsa, oklahoma. Weve got power lines down. Weve got big trees that are down. We have roads that are closed right now. Reporter an ef2 tornado with 11111mileperhour pinned winds trapping dozens.

A lot to cover, guys, and ill have much more and how much rain will fall in a couple of moments. Working its way up the coast. Thanks very much. Now to those growing tensions with north korea. Overnight north korea reacted to the new sanctions vowing thousands fold revenge and President Trump says hes happy and impressed by the vote in the u. N. Martha raddatz is in washington with the latest. Good morning, martha. Reporter good morning, george. These sanctions are a big, important step to squeeze the north to try to change their behavior but so far north korea is just striking right back. [ speaking a Foreign Language ] reporter overnight new threats from north korea promises on state television to reciprocate a thousand fold for what it calls americas villainous actions against our country and people warning that if the u. S. Thinks it will be safe because it is across an ocean there is no bigger misunderstanding than that. The warnings in response to the toughest sanctions ever passed by the u. N. Security council against north korea which could cost the regime nearly 1 billion a year. These sanctions will cut deep and in doing so will give the north korean leadership a taste of the deprivation they have chosen to inflict on the north korean people. Reporter sanctions in the wake of north koreas alarming progress in its nuclear and missile programs, kim jongun launching a second Intercontinental Ballistic Missile just nine days ago, a missile potentially capable of reaching as far as the eastern u. S. It is now secretary of state Rex Tillersons mission as he travels across the region to ensure all parties especially china adhere to the sanctions in hopes north korea finally comes around. Well, the best signal that north korea could give us that theyre prepared to talk would be to stop these missile launches. You know, weve not had an extended period of time where they have not taken some type of provocative action by launching wh ballistic missiles. Whether the north koreans stop the tests or not, the u. S. Will give the sanctions time to bite before taking further action, but secretary tillerson said there is no time frame for that, robin. As of yet, thats right, martha, thank you. Now the latest on President Trump and washington. The president in new jersey this morning, hes spending the next two weeks at his golf club there but insists this is not a vacation. Hell hold meetings and calls. This as senators on both sides of the aisle propose measures to make it harder for a president to fire a special counsel amid concerns President Trump could try to oust Robert Mueller, something he has not ruled out. And Vice President mike pence is now denying a report that hes laying the groundwork for a possible 2020 president ial run. For more on all this, lets go to abcs mary bruce. Shes there in new jersey. Good morning, mary. Reporter good morning, robin. Well, the president is on his first extended vacation in new jersey but, of course, when youre president youre never really on vacation and the white house is well aware of that calling this a working holiday as they continue to face questions about russia, the leaks and now the 2020 election. This morning, the Vice President is strongly denying a report hes eyeing a possible president ial run in 2020 calling it disgraceful and offensive. The white house is pushing back too. It is absolutely true that the Vice President is getting ready for 2020 for reelection as Vice President. No concern hes setting up a shadow campaign. 2018 zero concern. That is complete fiction. That is complete fabrication. Reporter the New York Times sunday reported mike pences schedule is so full of political events that republicans joke that hes acting more like a second term Vice President hoping to clear the field than a number two sworn in a little over six months ago. But Pence Insists my entire team will continue to focus all our efforts to advance the president s agenda and see him reelected in 2020. Any suggestion otherwise is both laughable and absurd. The president this weekend seen taking a break. Everyone having a good time. Crashing a wedding at his bedminster golf club. The president is spending more than two weeks here at his new jersey estate, one of the reasons for the relocation, the white house is under construction. On twitter pictures of the oval Office Cleared out for renovations. But the president insists hes keeping busy tweeting this is not a vacation. Meetings and calls. And the president just responded to that report about the Vice President tweeting, the failing the New York Times which has made every wrong prediction about me including my big election win is totally inept. George. Didnt like that article at all. Thanks very much. Lets bring in jon karl with more on all this and the president doesnt like the article. Mike pence is calling it absurd but he has shown an unusual amount of political activity even setting up a pac and you see a lot of other republicans out there in the early primary state, as well. We havent seen this before so early in a term. Reporter were only six months in, 200 days in, george, buts awe know president ial wannabes begin preparing to run for president sometime after they get their drivers licenses in high school. So its not all that unusual to see early activity. As for the Vice President , the key factor for 2020 is that donald trump may be historically unpopular at this point in his presidency. 33 Approval Rating in that quinnipiac poll last week but he remains incredibly popular among republicans in that same poll, 76 Approval Rating. I dont see a clear challenger yet. We are incredibly early and i certainly dont believe that theres any scenario in which that challenger is mike pence. And Kellyanne Conway challenging him but putting things in place in case President Trump doesnt run even though Kellyanne Conway said yesterday he intends to serve two terms. The president also tweeting this morning his base is bigger and stronger than ever taking on overall polls that show a low favorability but as you point out he is doing well with republicans even though were now seeing republican senators start to buck him more. Reporter we are seeing incredible independence among Congressional Republicans. Particularly in the senate. Look whats happened. Youve seen senators go forward to try to lay the groundwork to make it impossible for him to fire Robert Mueller as the special counsel. We also saw the defiance on the russia sanctions that was passed in the senate, 972 passed by an even more overwhelming margin in the house, something the president opposed, passed anyway. No question we are seeing Congressional Republicans willing to defy this president and at this point at least not paying a price for it. Jon, were one week into general kellys tenure. The president has been slightly less active on twitter and are seeing other signs that general kelly is tightening up the white house operations. Reporter the biggest thing is the flow of people to meet with the president. It had been almost an open door policy during the First Six Months where the president would see somebody on fox news in the morning, like what they said, give a call and they will be in the Oval Office Meeting with him a couple of hours later. Kelly has clamped down on that to get into the oval office, you need to have a reason to be there. He is attending those meetings and controlling who comes in and out and even on the phone when the president makes a phone call with members of his administration. Some changes right there, okay, jon karl, thanks very much. Robin. Okay, now to new developments in the explosion at a mosque near minneapolis. Minnesotas governor is now calling it an act of terrorism and investigators say an improvised explosive device was thrown threw a window before worshippers gathered for prayers. The blast shattered windows and damaged an office. Nobody was injured. The fbi has joined the investigation, a 20,000 reward is being offered for information leading to an arrest. And the wreckage of a u. S. Military aircraft that crashed off the coast of australia has been located. Three marines are presumed dead after the osprey went down saturday. 23 others were rescued. The cause of the crash is under investigation. The osprey which lives off vertically like a helicopter, flies like a plane has been involved in several recent crashes and in response the japanese government is asking us to ground osprey flights in japan pending the investigation. Michael. Thank you, george. We turn now to an urgent manhunt. Authorities are searching for an inmate who fought with a deputy and escaped with his gun. Abcs linsey davis is here with more and good morning, linsey. Reporter good morning. People in paulding county, ohio, are on edge as Law Enforcement agencies search for an armed and dangerous prisoner. The sheriff says that hes angry with himself that this happened and there are now changes under way to keep it from happening again. The search for an escaped ohio inmate armed with a deputys gun is intensifying. We have yet to find him. He has possession of a firearm. Up to 30 rounds of ammunition. Hes got to be getting cold and hungry. Reporter u. S. Marshals and the fbi are joining in for the hunt for a man considered armed and extremely dangerous. Hes not a good guy. If you see him, call the police. Dont get near him. Reporter 32yearold brandon powell, charged with rape, escaped friday after overpowering an officer while being transferred from a hospital where he was being treated for injuries he sustained from a Suicide Attempt while in jail. Security images show powell just before his escape shackled at the hands, waist and feet. An officer escorting him to a police vehicle. According to police, once inside the vehicle, powell managed to put the deputy in a headlock crashing the vehicle before taking the officers weapon. Powell then forced the officer to undo his shackles before handcuffing him to the steering wheel. He then disabled the radio and car before fleeing on foot with the deputys cell phone, wallet and ammo. You dont take a pistol from one of my deputies and threaten him with it. He will be held accountable with that when hes located. Police say no solid tips of sightings and has not tried to contact his family. A 2,000 reward was offered leading to his capture. The deputy who was transporting him at the time of the incident is said to be doing well. Thank goodness for that. We have the latest on the murder mystery involving a Northwestern University professor. He and a second man caught near San Francisco after more than a week on the run and abcs alex perez is in chicago where it all began. Good morning, alex. Reporter hey, good morning, george. Authorities have been working nonstop trying to piece this mystery together. It took that nationwide manhunt to finally catch up with the suspects. This morning, Northwestern University professor Wyndham Lathem set to appear in court.

Reporter lathem and warren surrendering to police and the u. S. Marshals in california on friday after a weeklong nationwide manhunt starting over 2,000 miles away in chicago where the cost motologists body was found stabbed in lathems apartment building. Subjects last seen driving a 2007 gray hyundai the murder an away in wisconsin, the two suspects made a mysterious 1,000 donation to a Public Library in duranleaus name. What led that suspect or suspects to that location is still not known to us at this time. Reporter police say before he surrendered, lathem sent a video to his family and friends apologizing for his part in the murder calling it the biggest mistake of my life. This was clearly a crime of passion. These suspects clearly had some kind of relationship. They felt some sort of caring for the victim even though they were involved in his murder. Reporter and lathem is due in a california courtroom later today. Authorities here now working on having both suspects extradited to face murder charges here in chicago. George.

We begin with that troubling story about a model who says she went to a fashion shoot in milan and was kidnapped telling police her alleged captors threaten to sell her on the dark web unless her agent paid hundreds of thousands of dollars. Abcs linzie janis is here with much more on this bizarre story. Reporter good morning. It sounds like a plot out of a hollywood thriller. This british model is now free after she says she was abducted and held for six days. Her captors threatening to sell her as a sex slave. Italian police this morning investigating a bizarre kidnapping case involving a british model. Allegedly drugged, bound and stuffed inside a suitcase. To potentially be sold on the internet to the highest bidder. For the first time, 20yearold chloe ayling is speaking out after she says she was kidnapped from what she thought was a photo shoot in milan ending up handcuffed to a wooden dresser for six days. Ive been through a terrifying experience. I feared to are my life second by second minute by minute, hour by hour. Reporter telling police when she arrived two men posing as photographers drugged her with ketamine, a powerful sedative. Put her in a suitcase like in this police reenactment photo and put that suitcase in the cars trunk driving her to this remote cabin near the french border. The abductors allegedly using encrypted accounts asking her agent for more than 300,000 to stop them from selling her as a sex slave. In the cabin where ayling was allegedly held police recovering a flier advertising an online criminal Network Operated from an encrypted part of the web inaccessible through regular browsers that experts called dark web. There are marketplaces where people are sole. Some are women, some are children. About 85 of it is sex related. Ive been through a terrifying reporter her captors allegedly let her go when they learned she is the mother of a 2yearold. Italian police say after ayling was freed they nabbed a suspect and they say that he admitted to being with the model but they also say he has, quote, a different perspective of the incident. George. Thats a strange one. Thanks very much. We move to that carter battle for taylor swift getting ready to take the tan in her suit against a radio deejay who she accuses of groping her during a photoop. This photograph will be a key piece of evidence in the trial. Hes suing her, as well and abcs Clayton Sandell is at the white house in denver where it all began. Thats where it will begin today, clayton. Good morning. Reporter good morning, george. It is the hottest ticket in town and soon taylor swift fans will be lining up in front of the courthouse here hoping to catch a glimpse of the superstar as she begins her courtroom showdown. Bad blood reporter this morning, bad blood between a pop star and former radio deejay now suing each other in federal court. Reporter it all goes back to denver in 2013, this photo a key piece of evidence showing taylor swift backstage before her concert posing with deejay David Mueller and his then girlfriend. Swift claimed muellers hand grabbed her back side inappropriately and his Radio Station fired him suing for potentially 3 million in damages. Trouble trouble trouble reporter but swift counter sued for assault and battery claiming mueller took his hand and put it up my dress adding it was not an an accident and says it caused her extreme anxiety. But mueller says thats not the case. In Court Documents and a radio invupts saying there was no inappropriate contact of any kind. My hand was never under her skirt. I never grabbed her. Reporter now its a legal he said she said. Swifts camp said the singer complained to her the afterlove it while mueller said he asked her Security Team to call the police. I didnt do anything. Last month a judge sanctioned mueller for losing or destroying four devices including a laptop and ipad that held copies of a conversation mueller secretly recorded with his boss the day before he was fired. That boss has alleged mueller may have changed his story. Swift is expected to take the stand saying in Court Documents she wants to hold mueller responsible and to serve as an example to other women in similar situations. One hurdle for taylor swift will be her lack of reporting to police. Especially given the fact that she is now claiming that the reason why she is counter suing is because she wishes to advocate on behalf of women and victims. Taylor swift has said if she does receive any monetary claims from this case, she will take those moneys and donate it to causes that advocate on behalf of women and victims. Reporter now this trial is open to the public but there are only 32 Seats Available every day and the court is already warning fans to leave those taylor swift tshirts at home telling them this is a trial, not a concert. George. See if they listen. Okay, thank you. Lets talk to dan abrams for more on all this. We got dueling lawsuits right here. Boy, but it doesnt look good for the deejay to have destroyed all those devices. I see a lot of problems for hip. Number one is the fact that hes been sanctioned by the court for destroying or losing an audiotape that he made of his conversation with his boss right before he gets fired. He spilled coffee on his computer then i threw away my phone and lost my ipad. All these Different Things as to what happened to that critical piece of evidence in this case. Number two is the picture itself. I mean his side is saying this helps us. I dont know how look where his hand is. Its an odd spot for your hand to be when youre taking a picture with a celebrity that you dont know. Is it dispositive, will it make or break the case, no, but i dont know that it helps. Number three the law. basically claiming that she is the reason he got fired. You have to show intentional conduct on her part and number four is why of all the people in the world does she decide to make up a story about this guy . Right . I mean she just decides out of whole cloth you know what, im going to invent a story about this denver deejay, so there are a lot of problems, i think, for him. He has a lot of problems. What about her suit. Look, i think the Biggest Issue for her and you heard ha in the piece is the fact she didnt report it to the police immediately. You can say, look, youre taylor swift. You have some guy who, you know, grabs your tushie and says, ill let this go. Im not going to call the police about it and she probably minimized it at the time but the bottom line is once she got involved in the lawsuit she said, i was assaulted in the context of this. This wasnt as minor maybe as i initially made it out to be and as a result she then reports it. I dont see it being that big a deal. The key thing how she will do on the witness stand. Thanks very much. Coming up terrifying turbulence. At least people rushed to the hospital after a flight. Hello, discover card. Hi.

Now there are concerns it could happen more often and abcs gio benitez has the story. Reporter overnight new video showing the aftermath of that turbulent American Airlines flight this weekend. Ladies and gentlemen, its your captain. We really apologize for that unexpected bump. Reporter the ride so rough it sent pillows into the aisle, wine across the floor and drinks flying to the ceiling. Just was totally unexpected. Weve asked the cabin to make an assessment of everybody. Make sure everybodys okay. Reporter at least ten people on board rushed to the hospital. Suddenly it felt like it was in freefall. Babies screaming. People in front of us hitting the ceiling. Reporter earlier in the week another 30 people treated for tushs lensrelated injuries. Thats 40 people in one week alone. Passengers on this united Airlines Flight in june were carted off on stretchers and last year this united Airlines Flight left a Flight Attendant bloodied and more than a dozen others taken to the hospital. Jetblue even now at the center of multiple lawsuits from passengers who say they were injured on bumpy flights. Turbulence leaving an average of 58 people in the u. S. Injured each year while not wearing their seat belts. Oh. Reporter people now wondering could it actually get worse . One recent Study Suggests that may be the case saying that certain kinds of turbulence will increase significantly as a result of climate change. Climate change in simple terms is speeding up the jet stream and a stronger jet stream is less stable and its just more likely for turbulence to break out. Reporter still, some experts believe injury reports are simply attributed to more passengers in the air. This summer alone, 9 million more flyers than last summer. And it turns out severe turbulence is actually pretty rare but experts tell us if you start feeling it grab some paper, grab a pen then uss your nondominant hand to start writing your hand. That will take the focus off all that shaking, they say, on that airplane, robin. Didnt think about it like. Just write your name and keep your seat belt fastened even when youre in your seat no matter what. Thanks. What the man behind the most viewed song ever on youtube, despacito. Despacito.

Its not just speaking to a niche demographic. Over 40 million streamed in indonesia alone. Musically they say for a viral smash you need an upbeat tempo, a song that triggers an emotion, also unexpected leaps, whatever they are, maybe a heavily repeated note, catchy, got to be what we call these days an earworm that gets into your head and you just cannot get it out. So what causes that earworm and how do we get it out . Well, listen, its going to happen to all of us 90 of us in a week. It happens when our minds wander. Now, apparently, after youve heard a catchy song if you chew gum immediately afterwards that song will not get stuck in your head. I dont know if i believe that . If you chew gum. Or if you chew gum . Your mind is not wandering, i think thats the logic, also, this is also perhaps ridiculous, listen to that song thats stuck in your head again. Listen to it in its entirety.

Well, after three years of messaging each other they met facetoface on gma and went to hawaii on their first date and, of course, our cameras went with them. No, really . How romantic was that for us to send cameras. Wait till you see how it went and will there be a second date is the big question. Nothing unusual about this couple at all. Were going to have more on that. But first the top story, rescues in texas right now from those dangerous flash floods and that system is stretching all the way here to new york. Ginger has all the latest. George, austin Emergency Services and the Fire Department on those water rescues as we speak. Look how much rain fell.

And, again, these are kind of sawed out in some spots, that low pressure instigating the storms. You can see much of new jersey after 3 00 p. M. Under pretty heavy rainfall. This is an afternoon early evening then its out. To give you an idea how much rain falls, more than 3 inches. Have that to look forward to today.

Despacito you know you like that, right, but when i was thinking about pop news this morning, romance is in the air. I was thinking youll never find another love like this someone to hold you like i do there you go. [ applause ] i knew somebody would know. Lou rawles was in my head when i was thinking about pop news. This is the reason why. Prince harry and girlfriend meghan markle, yes, we really just did that have jetted off to a getaway in africa. The the sun capturing the pair arriving in botswana where he prepared a surprise barbecue under the stars for her 36th birthday and a chance for him to share his second Home Visiting botswana after his mothers death continuing to do charity work throughout the years, the big trip is leaving many wondering if harry is going to really pop the question like william did in kenya just seven years ago though i have to say that he has done this before. He has brought girlfriends to africa before. Its his favorite place in the world. View. He is the most himself. I know. Leave the young man alone. If he does anything, hes going to propose.

Love having you here. Adrienne bankert, ladies and gentlemen. [ cheers and applause ] a lot of happy couple news but surprise news and learned that anna faris and chris pratt are splitting after about eight years of marriage and abcs diane macedo has the details. Sorry for that introduction, diane. Reporter heavy downer following adrienne now. How am i supposed to follow that up . Unfortunately sad news this morning. Hollywood relationships are notorious for being short but to many chris pratt and anna faris seemed different. They were gushing about each other when he got his star on the walk of fame. They tried hard but theyre splitting up. They appeared to have one of hollywoods most enduring relationships, the but this morning chris pratt and anna faris are legally separating after eight years of marriage. Pratt made the announcement on his Facebook Page writing anna and i are sad to announce we are legally separating. We tried hard for a long time and were really disappointed. The couple has a 4yearold son jack. They first met on the set of the 2007 movie take me home tonight. Doesnt exactly take a rocket surgeon to figure that out. Reporter faris was starring in the hot chick and house bunny. One of the many things that bonded us, our collection. Were both from washington state. We both are clowns and, you know, had similar have similar careers in hollywood. Reporter in recent years pratt transformed himself from a selfdeprecating sitcom star on parks and recreation to one of the biggest action heroes in the world starring in films like Jurassic World and guardians of the galaxy. He shared this snap with the caption, i love you. In 2016 faris spoke about the challenges the family faced with their busy careers telling a podcast i take pride in how great my relationship is with chris. But having said that, of course, in this crazy world where hes off doing movies and im in l. A. Raising our child, of course, im going to feel vulnerable like any normal human would. Overnight she tweeted, we still love each other and will always cherish our time together. And the most important person affected by this whole thing is jack, their son. To that both chris and anna tweeted, our son has two parents who love him very much and, of course, they say that they will continue to have the deepest respect for one another. But every now and then you get that hollywood couple that really hits people and it just comes as such a shock. You heard the reaction from our audience when they heard that. A couple we root for every couple but that one you thought they would make it. He got his star on the walk of fame in april and among other things she said, you know, were so lucky to have this Hollywood Life but even if we didnt we would be happy together off in the woods and it just seemed as such an endearing thing to say about one another and his you hard to hear it sounds like theyre not going to make it. We wish them all the best, diane, thank you. So far positive and negative reaction coming in from this pose. The man says he loves his wifes curvy body. Others call him a fake feminist and that couple opening up and Mara Schiavocampo has more on that. Hey, there, mar are. Reporter good morning. He says it was a genuine expression of love and that Instagram Post that went viral, at first thousands cheered him on for it but then a wave of backlash. This is the picture that got over 200,000 reactions on facebook and more than 31,000 likes on instagram. 26yearold robbie tripp sharing a controversial post about his wife. I am a bod positive fashion blogger and a curvy girl. Im not ashamed of anything robbie wrote. He celebrates all aspects of me being a woman. Reporter he proclaims his life for saras body. There is nothing sexier than this woman right here, thick thigh, big booty, cute little side roll, et cetera. This gorgeous girl i mar fills out every inch of her jeans and is still the most beautiful girl in the room. A real woman is not a porn star or a bikini model. Also saying girls dont ever fool yourself by thinking you have to fit a certain mold to be loved and appreciated. There is a guy out there who is going to celebrate you for exactly who you are, someone who will love you like i love my sarah. I wanted to celebrate a real woman. I wanted to celebrate a woman in my life who represented all the curvy women, who, you know, had thick thighs and big booty. Reporter at first the post overwhelmed with approval. Comments like love, love, love. We mode more men like you in this world but then critics came calling with articles titled area man thinks hes brave for finding his wife hot and dear nice guy, dating a curvy woman does not make you a hero. Writing, mansplaining on instagram does not make you a male feminist. I dont see girls like me in advertisements and im not offended that robbie labels me as curvy. Everything he was posted highlights not just one thing about me and does not devalue Everything Else he thinks about me. Reporter while it was a body praising post that went viral, tripp says everything he loves about his wife is far too long for social media. If i were to write an instagram caption about all the ships i love about my wife, it would be a novel. It would be a 700page book. Sweet guy. Well, robbie adds sarah is his favorite subject to write about saying he posts about her all the time. Its just that his posts have never gone viral before and she does add given her work with body acceptance issue, robin, they talk about things like this all the time. Its not an unusual discussion for them to have. Thank you. Author rachel simmons, author of enough as she is is back with us. Lets get into this. The vast majority was great. You have to cut this guy a break. His intentions were so good and its important for men to talk mr. The fact that they love women of all sizes. Thats a good thing. The problem is, they do not have this conversation over a romantic meal. He did not pen a love letter but put it on instagram. The internet has big feelings. But the thing is we put everything, a lot of people put everything, theres no difference here but you say perhaps that some of the phrasing that caused some of the negative it comes up as a backhanded compliment. I love you so much and the media marginalizes you and you fill out your jeans and i still love you. That falls flat and i think this reminded me of when dads were congratulated for babysitting their own kids. Thats part of your Job Description so you should do your job without getting a big sensational story out of it. This is the same thing. Its part of a husbands Job Description to love his wife. Why is this news anyway. Hes not asking for the attention. Hes not asking it it is getting i know we differ there why did he put it on instagram or put it online but dont we have to look at ourselves and look through our lens. Some people viewed it possley. Some viewed it negatively so do we have to look at ourselves and say, why do we feel that way. Its why its called social media. Emotional media. We all bring our feelings to what we post and if youre a woman who doesnt feel good about her body which im sure its every woman everywhere youll read that and say maybe it was a nice thing to say but not maybe not entirely. Lets do a little informal thick here with this audience. By your show of applause, you saw the piece. What he said, how many of you think that was positive what he said about his wife, applause. [ applause ] okay. And now how many viewed what he said in a negative sense . Okay, but they like you so much more. [ laughter ] i guess no one thats also george, is this a fair poll . Exactly. Thats why people like the internet because you dont have to yeah. All right. But thank you, thank you, because i have to honestly say i didnt see what could be seen as negative. I feel bad for the guy too. This is a great opportunity for us to talk about the ways that women are treated and the ways that women are made to feel inferior because of the way they look. Yeah, having that conversation is never a bad thing. Yeah. All right. Thank you so much. Lets get outside to ginger. Robin, i am so glad are sayid thank you to matt, who is serving overseas. We wanted to show you, i know we mentioned all the rain in new orleans. A couple of players swimming in the flash flooding in the dugout. You got to do it together, maybe they needed to cool off. Thats the big picture, lets get a check closer tow home. Them anticipation, a threeyear buildup, location, maui for a weekend. No pressure there. And cameras rolling on their entire conversation. This could potentially be the best or the worst first date ever. Three, two, one. Reporter its a match made in tinder. So good to finally meet you. Reporter josh and michelle, never met in person until this very moment keeping up an epic joke on the dating app for three years waiting months to respond to each other writing things like, hey, sorry, my phone died and, hey, sorry, was in the shower. The pair finally met facetoface right here on gma. Your sister met her fiance on tinder. She gave me some hope that this is where its at. You know, theyre getting married in november. No pressure. Totally fine. Slow down. Lets just start with the first date. I have officially checked in my bags and so now i just have to meet up with michelle and we are going to be on our ways to maui. Reporter and gma got to tag along. Welcome. A visit to the mermaid fountain to cast a wish. Ready. Reporter then an afternoon scenic bike ride ending the date with some drinks poolside. On this trip i have learned just about joshs incredible energy. He is just always excited and always energetic. You should hear her talk about her dreams and passion and career path, determination, per swer persever perseverance. Er we heading back soon and i know we dont have concrete plans yet. Its hard to talk about the Little Things like when we do go back but im pretty sure, shes so much fun. I know if once we get back home well want to meet up again. I never could have expected that when this story first started when he first tweeted out our conversation something so simple could just turn into something so amazing. The best Case Scenario i get to talk to a pretty girl, never did i imagine my first date would be on a resort like this. Its like something from a postcard. [ applause ] george, george always gets on to me for burying the lede. Get back and im sure our paths will cross. It wasnt a yes. It was not a yes but still they got some were putting them on a first date on camera. Thats a lot of pressure to now make something happen. He should sing lou rawls to her. That might work. Nothing else is working yet but i need to let you know they had separate rooms were told there in maui. No bachelorette suite. But she might be transferring. No, kidding. Kidding. T.

Man, its been a major journey to get back to this point definitely things got pretty dark for a minute there but i just stay faithful and remembering why i started this thing and that has just helped me get back to this point. I had a chance to watch the fight and all the things leading up to the fight and you and your opponent daniel cormier, you dont like each other. Very rarely do you see heated conversations that you two had before a fight but after the fight, you said the nicest things you could say about an opponent and what brought that on because you had an opportunity to add on to some of the prefight conversation. Right. You know, daniel for the most part is a fierce competitor, a pretty good individual, standup athlete, standup champion and i know how important our fight was for him. It was a legacy fight for him and i just didnt want a win or a loss to determine his legacy. I wanted people to see him for the guy that he actually was outside of the ring. Thats equally as important so thought id shed light on who he was and it was just. I think it says a lot about somebody how they act in defeat and how someone acts in victory. I enjoyed the way you acted in victory. Thank you. Now that you are the light heavyweight champ, whats next . I saw after the fight you called out Brock Lessner and said come get your butt kicked by somebody who weighs a lot less. I was thinking an exhibition on you. Im old and broke down. I dont want any of this. What is next for you . You know, i dont know. I think it may be a while before brock is eligible to fight. Im just waiting to hear from the ufc on different ideas outside of him. You know what, congratulations on your belt, man. Well deserved. A great champion, jon jones, everybody. And, ginger, we go to you. Because its time for your gma this is her nephew connor 13 months old and his brother peter who is laughing at his brother.

Are now hy for the new school year with our be your best backtoschool segment sponsored by disney healthy living. Alice and laura are coming up but ill start with alex guaranschelli. Great to have you. Thank you. Alex, youve got a lot to tell us coming as far as school lunches. I though this is a stressful time. But you got a new show on food network just premiered. Yes. Chopped grillmasters . Super excited about that. Yeah so what do we see . Whats the challengy. The challenge is how do you do Something Like grilling that takes hours and hours in 30 minutes and get something good, four plates of it is tough. Looks easy at home when youre watching and eating potato chips. I know what i would do but when youre there, oh, yeah. This morning a competition of our own but first whats your go to . I know you have a daughter so you have to do school lunches. That bar has to be pretty high. Yes, it is because my daughter says, you know, mom, if i dont like what you give me for lunch youre chopped so its really tough but also if i dont want to eat the lunch myself that i made for my daughter thats my one thing. Sometimes ive made her lunch and eaten a lot of it so this is just one of my favorites. Its turkey with avocado, green apple and mayonnaise that i kind of soup up with a little bit of Apple Cider Vinegar to give it brightness and use less mayo and healthy avocado. Better than any school lunch ive had but lets start. The competition is beginning. This is laura fuentes, momables is your blog. Mother of three. You brought us something that looks pretty enticing and not at all what i think of for school lunch. Yeah, well, what i have here today is a lunch box buritabbe. Protein, fiber, all the things kids can customize and we have a light creamy dressing, we put a little over it. It goes straight in the lunch box, right. Very compartmentalize great for portion control. Its a winner for dinner, winner for lunch. I like that. And compared to a fast food takeout restaurant but from 900 calories to just 350 we shed a lot of fat and add all the things kids like. Thats the thing. You did well. Over to alice choi. Youre a mother of two. Yes. The hip foodie mom is your blog. That is correct. You brought us something. Im telling you right now im not trading either of these lunches. I have chickpea veggie meatballs. Great option. Chickpeas which is my main source of protein, corn, zucchini, eggplant, pulse it in the Food Processor and put it in the bowl mixed with panko ground flaxseed meal added nutrition and fiber and lemon zest to brighten it up. Mix everything up together and form and shape your meatballs and bake in a 400degree oven and make a big batch, bake it and freeze them and then theyre good to go to reheat on the morning of. Looks pretty good. Alex, who wins the golan lunch box . The pressure. I cant stand the pressure. Well, i thought they were both great. I think lump has to be interactive for kids to like it but im going to have to say i vote for the meatballs. All right. Theyre really great. Congratulations. Thank you.
