And good morning, america. Happy friday. Robin and mike out on assignment today. We have a lot to get to. Just 53 days until the election, and new National Polls show a dead heat between donald trump and Hillary Clinton. And then, george, a lot of people reacting to that bizarre uncomfortable moment overnight with Donald Trumps hair on late night tv. That was bizarre. But also so was Donald Trumps interview with the Washington Post last night where he refused to again acknowledge that president obama was born in the u. S. His son and adviser donald trump jr. Standing by. Well talk to him in a moment. Lets get all the latest first from tom llamas on the trail in washington, d. C. Good morning, tom. Reporter george, good morning to you. The Trump Campaign now saying the republican nominee has changed his mind when it comes to where president obama was born. Donald trump was the biggest and loudest voice in the birther movement, but with less than two months to go before the election trump seems to be waffling on an issue he spent so much time, money and energy on. Overnight, the Trump Campaign announcing the candidate is no longer a birther sending out this statement, announcing, having successfully obtained president obamas birth certificate when others could not, mr. Trump believes that president obama was born in the United States. The statement attributed to a Campaign Spokesperson, not trump himself. The apparent reversal coming after the Washington Post posted a new story and interview overnight of trump himself refusing to say whether he believes the president was born in the u. S. Trump quoted as saying, ill answer that question at the right time. I just dont want to answer it yet. Critics of trumps birther stance says its deep rooted in racism because president obama is black. Hillary clinton seized on the new Washington Post story. He still wouldnt say hawaii. He still wouldnt say america. This man wants to be our next president . Reporter and trumps son don jr. Also being accused of being insensitive for his use of the phrase gas chamber in this attack on the media. They have let her slide on every, you know, indiscrepancy, on every lie, on every dnc game trying to get Bernie Sanders out of the thing. I mean, if republicans were doing that theyd be warming up the gas chamber right now. Reporter the Trump Campaign insisting he was not talking about the holocaust. Trump reacting to the clash as his children are on the campaign trail. Boy, the press likes to hit them. Right . Boy, the press likes to hit them and theyre such good kids but they can take it. Reporter trump also showing he can take it. Can i mess your hair up . Reporter overnight trump letting jimmy fallon go where no man has gone before. Deep into his golden locks. Go ahead, with my hair spray. Reporter trump, a good sport about the late night gag, but quickly trying to reset that famous hairdo. So trump like we have never seen him before, and apparently taking a position many thought would never happen. Now, we want to reiterate donald trump has yet to say it himself that he believes president obama was born in hawaii, this is his campaign, and were reminded of a tweet he sent out back in may. Back then he said this, lets put it on the screen. He wrote, dont believe the biased and phony media quoting people who work for my campaign. The only quote that matters is a quote from me. George, were still waiting on that quote. Thank you, tom. Well talk to Donald Trumps son, don jr. Executive Vice President of the Trump Organization, and close adviser to his father. Youre one of your fathers closest advisers. Why cant he and wont he say that president obama is born in the u. S. . I think he said it last night. What he doesnt want to do he didnt. The Campaign Spokesperson, i was with them, and i drafted a statement that said just that, what he doesnt want to do, he doesnt want to get off message and create another story. But he wants to talk about jobs. Refusing to acknowledge that president obama was born in the United States he wants to talk about jobs for americans. He wants to talk about his revolutionary plan for women and working mothers these days. This is the presidency of the United States and wants to talk about the issues and putting americans back to work. Hes the only person who can put this to rest. In the past his campaign has said he believes that your father has not said himself, yes, president obama was born in the United States. I was wrong to question it. That is coming from him because i was involved in those conversations. Hes going to put the head of his Campaign Spokesperson is putting it out from the campaign. Thats from the campaign. What he said in the past, hey, dont believe what you read when you read a source close to the campaign, dont believe what those people say. Those are guys trying to get media. Wait a second. Last week Kellyanne Conway put out a statement saying, oh, donald trump believes that the president was born in the United States, yet when donald trump has the chance to do that yesterday himself, he refuses to do it. This is coming from him and i was involved in those conversations so are we going to hear him say those words . I dont know. This should be the definitive end of it. We thought it was the definitive end when, you know, he acknowledged that, hey, we got obama to release his birth certificate then but, again, we want to talk about jobs. We dont want talk about gossip. It doesnt matter. Hes been talking about it for years, but he can end it by simply saying, yes, the president was born in the United States. I was wrong to question it. I believe thats what he did last night. But thats not what he did. Well, well have to disagree on that. Thats coming from him and i know that because i was part of the conversation. He has the ability to send out a tweet where he says, this is what i believe. Maybe he will. Lets talk about you, as well. You saw those comments you made about the gas chamber drawing a lot of questions. From the antidefamation league, heres what they say, we hope you understand the sensitivity and hurt of making holocaust jokes. We hope you retract. Will you retract . I didnt say anything about the holocaust. I was talking about media bias. I was talking act if you are a conservative, its essentially capital punishment. Even jake tapper from cnn said, donald trump jr. Said the same thing, and put a cap on it. I said the same thing two weeks ago and used the term electric chair. It was poor choice of words but perhaps but in no way, shape or form was i remotely talking about the holocaust. I wouldnt do it. I think its disgusting. Its not my style, my sisters orthodox jewish. Half of my best men in my wedding and the bridesmaids in my wedding were jewish. I would never do that. But what it really shows, unfortunately, it almost proves the point. I Say Something, rather than the media asking me about it. Rather than saying, hey, don, were you talking about the holocaust . They jump. Oh, my god. He is talking about the holocaust. This is the antidefamation league. Youre answering it now. Its the bias i was talking about. If i Say Something rather than talking about great jobs plan they cant attack my father anymore. They have run out of ammo, so now they attack me, and cosmo, trying to attack my sister. I understand thats the game theyre play, you but it goes to show my point which im making about media bias. If youre a conservative you dont even get a fair shot. They dont give you the benefit of the doubt, and its really a shame. Thats why we wanted to have you come in answer the questions. Im addressing it myself but its why less than a third of americans even trust the media anymore. I mean those are from gallup polls, so, you know, i think perhaps this maybe me a disservice to say lets be honest about these and lets not jump to slander people over something that they would clearly never say, especially when they have a history of using a similar, you know, line talking about the exact same thing. Time and time again. Part of the reason theyve come up, and you answered that right now, and part of the reason they come up is you have had other tweets from antisemitic individuals. Had an Instagram Post last week. We want to put it up that included pepe the frog a wellknown symbol of the White Supremacist Movement and others in there, who have been taken off because of their racist statements and questioned whether the government was behind 9 11. Thats why the questions come up. If im glib thats the case. I never even heard of pepe the frog. I bet 90 of the your viewers havent heard of pepe the frog. I thought it was a frog in a wig. I thought it was funny. I had no idea there was any connotation there. Its getting ridiculous but, again, that proves my point which is that anything that they can possibly latch on to, they cant even attack my father anymore. Guess what . Hes coming up with incredible policy, both economic, very aggressive policy in terms of certainly for a republican coming out, you know, plan for working mothers. All these things. They cant attack those things. They dont have answers for those things so what they do, they have to attack me. And thats okay. Im fine if they go after me. It shows they have nothing against the issues that matter to americans these days. The other question, you are executive Vice President of the Trump Organization, you saw that newsweek cover this week. We want to put that up there right now and the article suggesting that the conflicts raised by the Trump Organization with so many different businesses and so many Different Countries demand, that mr. Trump should sever all ties with the business during his campaign and if he becomes president. Will he . If he becomes president he will certainly do that. Aides said he would put them in a blind trust and have nothing to do with it. Hes much more concerned and said it to me about america and putting americans back to work and the business hes created is incredible but he doesnt care. Its small potatoes relative to what he can do for his country that he loves so much. Its not a blind trust if you and were not going to be involved in government. Its not a blind trust. Youre running the company and he is president. So any foreign hes not making any decisions as it relates to the company. This is this would be Standard Operating Procedure for any president that has had businesses. Whether it was george bush, he is not going to have anything to do with it. He said that very publicly, a long time ago. George and george h. W. Bush and Ronald Reagan and bill clinton and mitt romney, the republican candidate all put their interests in a blind trust during the campaign. Your father has not done that. He will certainly do it if he becomes president. But a blind trust its not a blind trust if its being run by his children. It is because hell have nothing to do with it, george. He said that. He wants nothing to do with it. He wants the fix this country and get this back on the right track again. There will be a wall between you, your siblings and your father . We wont talk about it. Its a big company, but small potatoes. Compared to what he wants to do. Hes still going to know what the businesses are. No, he wont. We will not how will he not know that . It doesnt matter. Were not going to discuss those things. Trust me, as you know, its a very full time job. He doesnt need to worry about the business. The business is in good hands. He trusts us with that, 100 . Donald trump jr. , thanks for coming in. Thanks for not messing up my hair. Lets go back over to amy. As we saw Hillary Clinton back on the campaign trail for the First Time Since her health scare and Abcs Cecilia Vega was there as she made that return and cecilia joins us now from washington, d. C. Good morning, cecilia. Reporter amy, good morning to you. The last time Hillary Clinton was out in public was the day she nearly collapsed at the 9 11 memorial. She is back and her return comes at a crucial time in this race. Her first day back on the campaign trail, and just about every a chance she got, Hillary Clinton said it. Im doing great. Its great to be back on the campaign trail. Its great to be back. Reporter from the moment she stepped on the tarmac, a thumbs up to the second she stepped on that North Carolina stage. I feel good reporter it was a day carefully choreographed to show just how good she feels. Im not great at taking it easy even under ordinary circumstances, but with just two months to go until election day, sitting at home was pretty much the last place i wanted to be. Reporter overnight former president clinton on the daily show coming to her defense. She still feels good. Big deal she had pneumonia. People get it all the time. Reporter but Hillary Clinton comes back to a race thats tighter than ever. National polls show her lead shrinking and she is now in a tight battle with trump in must win battlegrounds like florida and virginia. When you were home during these last three days, i wonder for you did any soul searching about these new poll numbers. Is there anything you should be doing differently right now in your campaign . Cecilia, ive always said that this was going to be a tight race. Im going to keep doing everything i can to deliver my message about what is at stake in this election. Reporter an election she says she wants to be less about fighting and more about issues and then she went on to slam her opponent. Every time we think hes hit rock bottom, he sinks even lower. Reporter well, clintons aides say thats the strategy, a focus less on donald trump and more on a positive vision for the country but with that debate just ten days away and with those polls tightening, well see how long that lasts, george. Okay, cecilia, thanks very much. We move on to that official samsung recall. The government warns that the galaxy note 7 could explode or burst into flames, so its calling back a million of them, and david kerley has the latest from washington. Good morning. Reporter good morning, george. Two weeks into this serious hazard from a phone and owners of the samsung note 7 can get a refund because samsung agreed to an official recall. This morning, a after the cases of burning phones, cars burning, and even workplace overheating. I was actually just sitting at my desk at work, and it pretty much exploded. Reporter nearly a million brandnew note 7s sold in the u. S. Recalled officially now after 92 reports of overheating, 26 people burned and 55 pieces of property damaged. For two weeks samsung tried to exchange phones on its own. But it has now agreed to this official government recall. Thats two weeks of dangerous batteries out there. What happened here . As a general matter when companies go out alone they dont benefit from our expertise. This is not the ideal way to run a process, and we discourage companies from handling it this way. Reporter samsung was only able to get 130,000 customers to exchange phones. That means that more than 800,000 phones with defective lithium ion batteries are still in circulation. With this agreement to offer immediate refunds as well as replacements by wednesday, the hope is those dangerous batteries will be exchanged. The company apologized at home in south korea earlier this week. The u. S. Division now releasing a prepared statement. We did not meet the standard of excellence that you expect and deserve. For that, we apologize. Reporter it was samsung of america that told me the new phones will be available next wednesday but there are reports out of south korea this morning saying that the new phones could be delayed there. No word on whether or not that will affect the u. S. , as well, george. Okay, david. We have other new phones, that iphone, hard to get. It is hard to get. A lot of preorders, and apple says as of this morning, a limited quantity will be available in the stores. So if you go to a store you might find one, but, george, this whole thing with the samsung, its really this bigger battle with apple. I mean, this is a hot market, and it is extremely competitive. Hot market. I get it. Okay, david, thanks very much. George, we now have some new details on that frightening attack in manhattan. It happened yesterday afternoon when a man with a meat cleaver led police on a chase through midtown striking an officer before they eventually took him down. Abcs gio benitez is on the scene with more on what happened. Good morning, gio. Reporter amy, good morning to you. This is where the attack happened. One of americas busiest neighborhoods and now were told it appears to have started because of a boot on a car. Lets get out of here. Reporter a shootout in the heart of midtown manhattan after a Police Officer was attacked with a meat cleaver. Injured mos. Got hit with a meat cleaver. Reporter police say the suspect, akram joudeh, seen here being taken away here on a stretcher in this video, obtained by wabc, attacked an offduty detective with an 11inch cleaver after police confronted him after trying to remove a boot from his car. As we were pursuing him and have video of the incident he has the cleaver in his hand. You can clearly see it. Reporter a nearby officer using a taser to try to take the man down but when that didnt work, cops shot the suspect, a total of 18 shots fired. And were told all three of those officers are recovering. They should be okay. That detective who was hit with a cleaver is said to be in good spirits. Amy and george. All right, amy, you and your girls were caught up in that. It was really scary, and we were just a few blocks away, and thank goodness ended up taking the subway instead of walking down that street. By the time we got out saw helicopters and police and we quickly went to our phones to see what happened. Just one of those frightening moments. Scary moment in midtown.

We have to begin with the latest on the capture of a serial killer in ohio. Shawn grate expected to appear in court on murder and kidnapping charges after a woman called 911 saying she had been abducted, leading police to a home where they discovered two bodies. Abcs ryan smith is on the scene in ashland, ohio. Good morning, ryan. Reporter good morning, george. The family of victim Stacey Stanley say they banged on the very door of this home after she went missing, and now its a memorial site for stanley and another woman found dead inside. The woman charged in the killings leading police to the remains of a third person as they dig deeper into his criminal past. This morning, investigators are piecing together the portrait of a possible serial killer. Ive been abducted. Does he have a weapon . Hes got a taser. Reporter police say he is 40yearold shawn m. Grate, arrested wednesday after this harrowing 911 call from a woman tied up inside this abandoned ohio house who said she was just a few feet away from her sleeping captor. Is there any way you can get out of the building . I dont know without waking him, and im scared. Reporter this morning she is safe. Grate charged with her abduction and two counts of murder after police say they discovered the remains of two other people inside that house. We are in the process again of processing the crime scene, identifying the remains and moving forward with our investigation and eventual prosecution. Reporter one of the bodies, they say she discovered, that of Stacey Stanley, whose family had been searching for her since last week. Her son attending this vigil overnight. I would like to know the reason why he took my moms life. Hes not god. He didnt deserve to take my moms life. Reporter grate also confessed to killing another woman at this now burned down location more than an hour away. Investigators there combing the area finding yet another body. The suspected serial killer allegedly living a double life. His Facebook Page portraying the simple life of a carpenter and last year, posting his excitement over starting work as a Maintenance Man at a nearby holiday inn, but his criminal history telling a different story. Over a 20year span, reportedly convicted of burglary and pleading guilty to abduction, Domestic Violence and drug abuse. Serving more than four years in prison. A woman who says she dated grate telling cbs affiliate woio he was violent and unpredictable. He broke my hand. He had choked me. I had bruises down my face. Reporter though grate admitted involvement in the death of a third person he has not yet been charged in that case. He is expected in court today. He hasnt entered a plea yet but if convicted of murder charges, he faces up to life in prison. Thank you for the latest. Joining us now from atlanta, nancy gray, host of nancy grace on hln. Nancy, we just heard about his long criminal history spanning two decades, and just this past june, he reportedly told police he had killed a woman. How is this guy on the streets . You know, its amazing to me when you look at his history, there is i. D. Theft, burglary, drug paraphernalia, kidnapping, domestic relations how he kept getting out, a lot of the offenses for which he had been charged with dom rel, domestic relation offenses, in other words within the home. And those offenses are treated much more lightly than stranger op stranger, and i believe thats because sometimes the system blames the woman who is the victim, and in one of those cases, two women, one holding a baby were held with a butcher knife, but he walked right out. I think right now what they need to focus on is where he has been. He has been i mapped it out in marion, 45 miles away to mansfield, 13 miles away to ashland. Just think about this guy coming in and out of ladies rooms in a holiday inn as a Maintenance Man. There are now reports that a another body has been found down a ravine. Everywhere he has been has to be traced. Another thing, a lot of these victims families say police did not take the missing person report seriously. Why . Why is that . Again, saying, oh, she just left. Shes off with a boyfriend. No, shes dead. And there are going to be other victims and it could have been stopped. Right. And so far, we know that grate has been charged with two counts of murder, and one count of kidnapping. Of course, theres that third body he led police to. So you certainly expect more charges in this case . Yes, i do and also another m. O. Of his, he burns the structure down after. So police need to be looking at abandoned structures that he could be using and arsons, all in those areas. There are going to be other bodies. Unfortunately, the story looks like it is far from over. Nancy grace, thank you so much for your time this morning. Thank you. And tonight on 20 20 you can see the very latest on the investigation into that shocking murder of a Florida State university professor. That is at 10 00 p. M. Eastern right here on abc. Coming up here on our big board, o. J. Simpsons life behind bars. New details on what its really like for the football legend in prison. When he can walk the streets again.

Our team of insiders standing by live to weigh in on todays top stories. Were here with Darren Rovell from espn. You hear stories coming up. We start out with a report about o. J. Simpsons life behind bars. The l. A. Times is revealing and what its really like inside nevadas lovelock correctional center. Lets talk to areva martin about that. They really have been able to dig up some real detail here. Yeah, george, what were learning about o. J. Simpsons time in prison is that in some ways, its pretty mundane. He gets up in the morning, he has breakfast and hes off to a job. He works in the prisons gymnasium where hes wiping gym equipment. Hes sweeping and he is mopping and after his job, hes back in his cell spending lots of time, from what were learning, reading and trying to get ready for his parole hearing. But you have to juxtapose that mundane existence with his celebrity status. Apparently he is still getting lots of fan mail and hes serving as a commissioner over a prison Baseball League so you have this guy whos doing some pretty mundane things but he is leveraging that celebrity status. Commissioner of the Baseball League. Thats not mundane. You talked about that parole hearing. Any idea of when he could be walking the streets again and what hell face in the general public . So, what we know, amy, in october of next year he goes before the parole board again, were learning that he has a pretty good prison record. Hes stayed away from conflicts and he will be able to present that to the parole board. However, if he is successful, he has a huge financial issue that he will face once hes released and thats that 33 million civil judgment that was obtained by the Goldman Family in their civil lawsuit against him. We know that the goldmans are really intent on collecting on that judgment. So once out of prison, still Financial Burdens and reintegrating himself into the community. All right, areva, thanks so much. Now to americas famous crime family, the gottis back in the spotlight. Federal agents raiding the long island mansion of victoria gotti, the daughter of late mafia man, john gotti. Former nypd detective nick casale joins us. Car mine agnello is waiting on charges. Is the raid connected to that . Whats going on here . The irs agents are looking, my sources tell me, for Business Records and evidence that will support their case. And theyre getting this from good sources on the inside. Carmine agnello did nine years, and he was victorias former husband and john gottis soninlaw. Whats happened is that his former auto body shop in queens was raided along with victorias house out in long island. But he did nine years in prison in cleveland. He went out there, and that was a transference from the mob, because thats the only place that would take him, and he is now running some operations there, and they are accusing him also of pouring sand into body parts of cars to sell to the junkyards. John gotti had some juice but is the gotti family now still a force in the new york mob . No, not at all, george and it really look, they came into power on the gun when john gotti took out Pauly Castellano but among law enforcement, they always knew that they werent royalty to the mob. In fact, they used to call them the howard beach hillbillies. You know, just picture if veto corleone ever sat down at the table and says, look, i want my people to sell prescription medicine at a discount, and i want them to pour sand into auto parts that were going to sell to the junk yard. I mean, this is far from racketeering. Its twobit gangstering. Even when it comes to junior, he wasted all that shoe leather in hollywood trying to sell his fathers story, and John Travolta will be playing john gotti and, you know what, insiders tell me that they made John Travolta an offer he couldnt refuse as far as financial terms go. Im sure thats right, nick. Thank you very much. We move on to twitters move that could change the way we watch sports. Overnight they debuted their nfl live stream that featured the jets taking on the bills. Thursday night games and lets talk to espns Darren Rovell about this. We all know that twitter has been struggling in some ways. Will the nfl save it . Well, listen, people were so surprised, i think, by the quality of the stream.

The big story this morning, Donald Trumps campaign is finally acknowledging that president obama was, indeed, born in the United States. They sent out a press release yesterday, but so far were not hearing those words from trump himself prompting a very sharp attack from Hillary Clinton and abcs tom llamas is on the campaign trail with more. Tom. Reporter paula, good morning again. A Stunning Development in this election, donald trump who for years questioned where president obama was born insisting he may not have been born in hawaii. This campaign now saying that donald trump has changed his mind, that he, indeed, does believe that president obama was born here in the u. S. This is a sharp and stunning reversal for donald trump who was one of the biggest and loudest voices in the birther movement. Earlier this morning george asked his son don jr. About it. He can end it by simply saying, yes, the president was born in the United States, i was wrong to question it. I believe thats what he did last night. But thats not what he did. Well, were going to have to disagree on that, but its coming from him and, again, i know that because i was part of the conversation. Reporter now, we are still waiting for donald trump to say that himself. In the past he says, dont believe anything unless he says it, so were still waiting for him to say that. Paula. Certainly are, tom, thank you. And a major recall this morning, Fiat Chrysler is recalling nearly 2 million vehicles because of a glitch that could prevent the air bags from deploying.

That is Paris Jackson, the 18yearold daughter of the king of pop, michael jackson, making headlines this morning with an Emotional Message about cyberbullying sending a plea to her millions of followers on social media. Im just tired of it and just really, really tired. Reporter its Paris Jackson broken down raw and emotional. I dont understand how there can be so much hatred in the world right now. Reporter candidly speaking out against cyberbullying. And i dont get why im such an easy target. I try to be nice to everybody that i meet. So im sorry if theres something that im doing that you guys dont like. Maybe im too public. I dont know. Reporter while unclear what ignited this tearful plea, the message is clear. I mean, were human beings, man. We got hearts and brains and feelings. Its exhausting. Reporter the 18yearold daughter of the late king of pop. So just leave me alone leave me alone leave me alone reporter taking a page from her dad asking the haters to leave her alone. Ive tried a lot of things, ignoring it, but its hard. It is when theres so much of it. One of the most important takeaways for Paris Jackson and all of us is that you cannot magically solve these problems. There are horrible people out there who for whatever reason think that its funny to go after people, especially people who are famous. Reporter rosalind wiseman, author of queen bees and wannabes says the most important takeaway is taking control. What i think shes done is really try her best to be able to manage the situation as best as she can, and so, yeah, its not going to be perfect. But at the same time, at the end of the day, youve got to be proud of how you handled it and i think thats what she can be. Reporter jackson has since deleted the instagram videos posting this photo, looks like im the villain now. Didnt know defending myself was a crime. And lets bring in former editor of People Magazine larry hackett. And it really is painful to watch a lot of those videos, and i think a lot of us have felt similarly when we read things online. Sure. But she is the daughter of one of the most famous entertainers in history. Is it reasonable for her to be able to expect to keep her privacy . Its not. And we look upon her as being the daughter of one of the most famous people in history. She looks at herself like an 18yearold trying to make friends. Trying to find her way in life. Im not sure that reasonableness enters into the conversation. I think when someone is that age, its like giving children almost nuclear weapons, these things are so powerful. When youre as famous as her, when you see her following is 800,000 people, its mind boggling. She doesnt think of 800,000 people, but the people she knows and the things she reads so that she reads. So that notion of whats reasonable to you and i is not the same to her. It makes sense. We know she did take a twoyear break from social media because of similar events and a lot of people saying why doesnt she get off social media and delete all her accounts if its that upsetting . When you were a teenager or i was a teenager, if your parents said, get off the phone, would you be upset . They took it out of my room . Its an extension of your head. Of course. Thats what it is. The idea to say dont do this is not part of what they do. Even a temporary thing. Its part of a function of how they communicate with one another. So that to me is not a reasonable thing to do. You followed the Jackson Family for years now. Who does paris have in her life who can help her through these difficult times because she really looks incredibly distressed and we know shes had problems before. Remember, this is a young woman who when she went out in public with her father had a veil across her face. So her upbringing has been very unusual. Her grandmother katherine is her guardian but shes 86 years old and i dont know any 18yearolds who ask an 86yearold for advice. Especially on social media. Indeed. As lots of 18yearolds do and doing it in this unbelievably blinding glare of whats going on, so i think in many ways shes trying to find her own way. Maybe some of the people who are her friends on social media can help her out. Theres other celebrities who has gone through it. Justin bieber has gone through this thing. Demi lovato has gone through this thing. Its brutal. Leslie jones in ghostbusters and saturday night live. Its a terrible thing. I think the trick is, look at the majority of your followers. Most do not go online to abuse people. Theres always going to be that fringe that do that, and they will be overweighted. I think you need to look at the people who are your friends, who do care about you and want to follow you and try to block out the other ones. It is one of the prices of fame. Larry hackett, thanks so much. Coming up next, greys anatomy star ellen pompeo revealing the best thing about getting older and opening up about motherhood next.

Man i accept im not the deep sea fisherman i was. I accept im not out on the ocean wrestling marlin. I even accept i have a higher risk of stroke due to afib, a type of irregular heartbeat not caused by a heart valve problem. But i wont go after anything with less than my best. So if i can go for Something Better than warfarin, ill do that too. Eliquis. Eliquis reduced the risk of stroke better than warfarin. Plus, it had significantly less major bleeding than warfarin. Eliquis had both. Thats what i wanted to know. Dont stop taking eliquis unless your doctor tells you to, as stopping increases your risk of having a stroke. Eliquis can cause serious and, in rare cases, fatal bleeding. Dont take eliquis if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. While taking eliquis, you may bruise more easily. And it may take longer than usual for any bleeding to stop. Seek immediate medical care for sudden signs of bleeding, like unusual bruising. Eliquis make increase your bleeding risk if you take certain medicines. Tell your doctor about all planned medical or dental procedures. I may not be going for the big one, but im still going for my best. And for eliquis. Reduced risk of stroke, plus less major bleeding. Ask your doctor if switching to eliquis is right for you. Was mr. Bonejanglesny expecting the perfect plus less major bleeding. Toy at an amazing price . Of course not. Hes a dog. But thats the beauty of a store full of surprises.

Back here on gma, we have a huge interview with ellen pompeo from greys anatomy opening up about hollywood, aging and motherhood. Thats coming up, but people in raleigh, you might be noticing liz horton is next to us, the meteorologist from wtvd. Shes going to help me out by good morning, im abc 7 news meteorologist mike nicco with your accuweather highlights. Inland heat arrives but the bay will stay mild and cool. The heat will spread on sunday but the good news it will stay cool during the night time. San francisco, 70th around the bay. And antioch 92. Good news. Look at the 50s tonight and the 40s in the valleys. Get ready as ginger was just saying, weve got a candid look at hollywood now and aging from the leading lady of greys anatomy. Ellen pompeo plays a fierce doctor on the show and shes also fiercely honest about growing older in the spotlight. She spoke to abcs juju chang in this exclusive interview. Look, this is the emergency room. Reporter for 12 years ellen pompeos embodied the heart and soul of greys anatomy. But for many hollywood starlets growing older in the spotlight isnt easy. You dont want to cover up every flaw or every wrinkle that comes your way. Well, i think as an actor flaws are a necessity. Nobody is perfect, and im not and im okay with that. Theres something glorious about aging too. Yeah, theres something the wisdom that you get. Really all you have in your youth is your looks. And so when the looks fade, what are you left with. Hopefully a fantastic character and integrity and a soul and compassion. Reporter as one of the highest paid tv actresses, pompeo says early on she decided to stay at greys as a conscious choice in part because there are so few opportunities for mature women in hollywood. I have to go out into the landscape and try to get jobs and deal with, you know, am i good enough, am i pretty enough, am i smart enough, am i talented enough . Am i young enough. Am i young enough. Your ego would drive you to say this isnt cool and i need to go be a movie star or do something else, but your ego is really your biggest enemy. Reporter like her character, meredith grey, pompeos life has evolved, falling in love and becoming a mom. But tv is not reality. A lot of scenes, you know, we dont see my kids, and im sitting around on the couch drinking all the time. Things that i will never do with children. Maybe the kids are in bed. The kids are in bed, sure, so you get bombed anyway because you dont have to wake up at 6 00 in the morning. And get everything ready. How does your parenting differ from merediths parenting . I dont think meredith is really a parent. One of the Early Experiences for you obviously was losing your mom. Yes. At a very young age. And how does it inform your parenting . You know, im probably a little overprotective, a little overbearing. I tell my daughter how amazing she is probably a little too much. Reporter one thing that stayed constant. Derek, right, meredith. Meredith. Reporter viewers obsession with Meredith Greys epic love life with mcdreamy. So pick me. Choose me. Love me. Reporter but pompeo says its her favorite scene partner she misses most. Im your person. Sandra oh was a massive, massive part of this show, and i was devastated to lose her. I didnt think the show would survive after losing her and it did. Have you cried yet . Hello. And i think that people tuned in to see what is meredith going to do without her person. So i think that as hard as change is, i think its necessary. Reporter for good morning america, juju chang, abc news, los angeles. And the new season of greys anatomy premieres next thursday 8 00, 7 00 central right here on abc. I need george. I need amy.

Well have another update its friday her update welcome back, america. Weve got a great crowd here with us this friday morning. Welcome to all of you. Ready for the weekend . Oh, yes. Come on. [ cheers and applause ] well, what im bringing to to the table is something i wish was around a few months ago. I think i was anchoring with you a few months back and i lost my wedding ring. Anybody lost a wedding ring . Yeah. Yeah . I lost a wedding ring on a day my wife was out of town. I was absolutely panicked. I was working that day. You were very nervous. Yes. I was very, very nervous. Its all a very innocent explanation, but i should have had the ring finders there that day. Its this brandnew company, a group of metal detectors that are going to help people when they lose their rings. Theyve got a whole network all across the country. About 291 specialists in 429 cities. If you lose it, theyll go out and try to recover it. Not just wedding rings, though, right . Any piece of jewelry. Yes. I love that. Have you lost something before . Oh, gosh, yes. I was borrowing jewelry, sometimes we do that. Expensive jewelry . Yes, and i was in Carnegie Hall and by the time i got to my seat, i was like, oh, the bracelet is gone. You mean one of those loners, oh, my gosh. Its insured. A Good Samaritan turned it in to Carnegie Hall, and i got it back. But i felt like i was going to vomit. [ light applause ] i know, thank you. [ applause ] what happens with this if you dont know where you lost your ring or you dont know where you lost i mean thats the thing, you have to give them some area. Im not going to be able to help. And theyve had success. Yeah, theyre doing very well. Just a sidebar note. Im wondering if you get if you borrow a piece of jewelry, are you responsible for paying for the insured like sort of the i assume so. I was thinking i was going to have to take out my checkbook. I was like, oh, my god. Oh, my god. I dont know. I think whenever they lent someone on the red carpet, its completely insured. I dont want to find out. I dont want to find out. Ignorance is bliss. George, the solution is get your ring sized too small so you can never take it off. Never take it off. Ali actually told me to tell you that. Shes in the control room right now. All right, so thats called ring finders. And its available all over the country. A great idea and not just for rings. The topic im bringing is about making lunch for your kids. Its gotten kind of out of control. When i make lunch for the kids, its in a brown bag and its Pretty Simple and they seem really happy with it. Were not allowed to. Oh. Because of the peanut allergies. My kids make their own lunches. Im working on that. [ applause ] out of necessity. Im here in the morning so they are forced to be i either do it before or the night before when i have to. Most times its for field trips. This is a big trend happening. These really fancy lunch boxes. Do you does anybody have you do have one of those fancy lunch boxes. Look at that. It literally looked like bobby flay packed that. I know. Its incredible. And, you know, theres this really funny article about this right now. People are incensed on social media. This article was in the Washington Post and theres one mom who says, i vowed i would never cut the crust off a sandwich and now i find myself making tortilla pin rolls, and its because of it goes back to pressure on social media. You see pictures on facebook of other moms and she feels this pressure, and her kids say, well, you know, where is my tortilla pin roll . Well, why do moms give in to the pressure. I agree. I heard a story and sent my husband a text and said, can you pack the lunches because i totally forgot to. Its the last thing we do in the morning. My kids, i did buy those compartmentalized lunches and in the meantime, before i brought those, i brought brown paper bags and put a smiley face on them. You have to wash them. So much work. You know whats not so much work, lunchables. [ applause ] i like that, lara. All right. Or, again, your kids are actually capable of doing more than you think. Yes. They can make their own lunches. I love how you parent. Can you come over to our house . Seriously. Who remembers when evel knievel tried to jump over the Snake River Canyon in a rocket in 1974. Im the only one. What were you, 3 . Yes. Okay. He didnt quite make it if you dont remember. That jump though went down in history, and now this weekend hollywood stuntman eddie braun will try to finish what evel knievel started, and he before he does it, he is joining us live.

Im doing i met evel knievel as a small child, and he inspired me so much when i met him. I mean, this was a man with a cape. Come on. I wanted to be like him, and after 30 years of being a professional stuntman, what better way to finish out my career than to pay homage to the man that inspired me . So youre doing this for your hero, but i got to ask because a lot of people this morning, are saying youre crazy. Youre going to be propelled from a rocket 400 miles per hour. You have to go 2,000 feet but you have four kids. Is it worth the risk . Yeah, the statement that i make, i dont care if people think im crazy or not. Im not. All i care about is what my four children think, and im doing something, and the way that im doing it will stand the test of time, and my children will be happy and proud, and what better life lesson than to show your kids through actions that you try and do things that are nearly impossible. Okay. [ applause ] how do you practice for Something Like this . Well, you dont really get a chance to practice too much, but i do have 30 plus years of a career im very proud of as a professional stuntman. And eminem is going to helping you before this with some pumpup music, lose yourself. Isnt that your pumpup music . Absolutely. Oh, absolutely.

It was the first animate d feature to get nominated for a best picture oscar and all of us have seen it again and again with our kids, and to celebrate juju chang sat down with the writers of frozen and hamilton to hear their tributes. Bonjour Bonjour Bonjour Bonjour Bonjour bonjour reporter its a tale as old as time, which turned out to be timeless. The same old bread and rolls to sell reporter beauty and the beast released 25 years ago and to celebrate, disney brought together their allstars. A formality reporter robert lopez, kristen andersonlopez, Steven Schwartz and Linmanuel Miranda all gathered around the piano with legendary composer, alan menken. I think of the five of you as the mt. Rushmore of broadway. You know, between you, you have grammys, tonys, oscars, pulitzers. Tell me a little bit about howe youre inspired by each others work . I had a song in hamilton called let it go, and then these guys wrote another song called let it go, and i was like, oh, i have to let that go. Tale as old as time reporter it felt like beauty and the beast is a master class in musical theater. Its the platonic ideal of a disney musical to be sure. I mean, its the most successful example of the way a score is supposed to work. The thing that beauty and the beast did was to take the techniques and the craft that was being done in the best Broadway Musicals and translate them to this new medium of the animated feature. Ever just the same reporter it was an animated movie that looked totally different. At the time it was the first computergenerated animated feature, right . Well, theres one scene in the ballroom when theyre dancing to beauty and the beast and the camera shoots down through the chandelier and we thought, oh, thats in frozen. Reporter and it sounded different too. Alan menken along with the late lyricist Howard Ashman reimagined animated movies as musical theater. Was there a moment during the Creative Process where you looked at what you were doing and thought, this is really special . Howard and i were writing belle. There she goes that girl is strange but special and it was developing into this sixminute opening number and howard said, we cant send this song to them. I mean, who asks for a sixminute opening number . Who asks for this big musical theater thing . Belle we finally sent it, and the reaction was, oh, my god. Be our guest be our guest is it difficult when writing a song to write for clocks and candlesticks . No, theyre people. Its our job to lose ourself and write through those characters and, you know, through the story. Reporter with all of the classic songs in the film, we were surprised that this group could agree on a favorite. No one the most impressive thing in the movie was the song gaston. As a specimen, yes, im intimidating one of the greatest villain songs of all time. The sub versive quality of that character was a really fresh idea at the time. As a child you learn the word expectorating because hes especially good it. Im especially good at expectorating for gaston what do you think is the legacy of beauty and the beast 25 years later . Beauty and the beast is about love. It really is, so fully about love and acceptance. Beauty and the beast reporter for good morning america, juju chang, abc news, new york. [ applause ] were talking about a master cast right there. I didnt realize it was going to be so groundbreaking. Its still, the songs take you right back. Theyre so beautiful. I want to watch it all over again. But its like a broadway show and they really used all those principles right outside our windows of the greatest broadway shows and expected kids could rise to the occasion. And they did. Are we going to have a singalong with everyone . Thats okay. You can say no. Thats all right. Whats amazing about it, all of us know the lyrics to at least one or two of these songs and thats impressive. You dont find that a lot in movies, animated movies especially. Juju, that was awesome. Yeah. Actually it was, and all of you can find beauty and the beast on bluray on september 20th, digital release out right now and well be right back. Hot mess express, everybody. We dance on the salsa team together, and its like a lot of power in what we wear. When were practicing if i dont feel good in what im wearing i dont look good. T. J. Maxx has that variety. I can get a lot for my money. Its like yay t. J. Maxx if youre feeling it, just go for it, dont wait. Maxx life at t. J. Maxx. Its not a weekend hobby. Ance . You have to live and breathe it for 50 years. Its the sound. And the fury. Its letting it all hang out there, and its hanging on for dear life. That is what amg driving performance means. And this is where it lives. The 503horsepower mercedesamg c63 s coupe. Hi, everybody. Welcome back to good morning america. Audience, so happy youre here and are you ready for all hot mess express. Thats right. Hot mess express with the help of our sponsor, delta faucet. Were giving a much needed makeover to a family bathroom. Take a look. Meet david dahl, a father and a connecticut contractor who spends his life renovating other peoples homes leaving no time to fix up his own. My husband kind of is a cobbler who has holes in his shoes. He comes home from work and wants nothing to do with the bathroom. Reporter so thats where i come in. The hot mess express has arrived. [ doorbell ringing ] ooh. Hello. Awesome. Where is the hot mess in question . My 80s style bathroom. Lets do it. Oh, wow, brass is back but not when its hanging off the things. Broken toilets, faucets that dont turn on, outdated brass fixtures and the tub the size of an olympic swimming pool. I feel like theres a friend living in there. Im scared. Im scared. This hot mess bathroom needs the hottest design squad in the biz, cija johnson and alex guerrero. We definitely need to reface these cabinets. These need to be replaced. This is the definition of a hot mess. Its time to start the makeover. Meanwhile, im in davids workshop looking through his collection of vintage finds. Its like a treasure hunt. A pair of mirrored johnsons from davids childhood home and a new use for a vintage car hood ornament. That could have been on my grandfathers car probably. Shes a hood ornament from a cadillac, but to me shes a towel holder. Meanwhile, back in the bathroom, its demo day. First tip, well save lots of money by repainting the rusty mirror frame rather than replacing it. Tip two, we added simple lighting under the counter to make the room pop. Ooh. And tip three, rescue, recycle, reinvent. Those sexy johnsons were repurposed. Shes diving into the waterfall tub. And that hood ornament now has a new life. Ready . Lets dive in. Final touches and this former hot mess is now magnificent. You guys ready . Im so excited. Come on up. Welcome to your new bathroom. Oh, my gosh. Wow. The bathroom totally transformed and the tub a work of art. Oh, how cool. Thats a waterfall just like i wanted. Oh, my goodness. This is crazy. Wow. And deltas h20 kinetic shower head uses less water which means saving more money. As soon as everybody is out of here, im getting in the shower so Everyone Needs to get lost. David and michele truly are dolls. This was a pleasure to turn their hot mess into a total success. On to the next adventure. What do you think . Success . [ applause ] big thank you to alex guerrero. You might recognize him. Hes on flea market flip with me. Hes one of my master craftsmen and you did a terrific job. Were going to look at the before and after and i noticed you used an expensive tile but in a limited way. A great tip for our audience. A little bit of expensive tile to create a focal point. Add a little symmetry to the room to really set it off. You can use subway tile on the other and you get that sort of richer feel. Another trick you guys did was that lighting underneath the vanity, and you guys could do that, super inexpensive at a Hardware Store. You dont need an electrical license for that. Explain. All you need is puck lights. They come theyre battery operated. Motion yeah, battery operated. Motion detection and you can just put them on with velcro tap and easy passive lying. And its passive lighting meaning if youre taking a bath, dont use your overhead light, but the overlighting and look more glamorous. Thats right. I want to show a chair. We were going to throw it away. I decided to upholster the back as well. It took one yard, and i paid 10 for the fabric and i did use a professional upholtsterer because of the back but its like wrapping a present. Its not a big deal. Main thing we want to say about this bathroom is look around, and use what you can. They refaced the cabinets. Alex, you saw him using the frame of the mirrors and spray painted them. They were gross. We just reinvented them. So, really simple tricks and really yeah, use what youve got. Really quickly, we dont do the demo but show you industrial mud. We do it on flea market flip. We bought piping. Modern industrial bathroom. Go to any Hardware Store and ask them to thread you a piece of pipe, 18 inches, 20 inches and fit these together. Basically if you can screw a lightbulb in, you can do this project. Thank you, alex. Hot mess express, a success. Well be back. Thank you. Thank you. [ applause ] a feeling in my bones like oh whoa gmas hot mess express is what if we made a paint that was so special that was such a jewel among paints that you had to seek it out.
