Transcripts For KTNV Good Morning America 20160912

The message is very clear and youve heard us. And now were asking you to listen to our message. As nfl commissioner Roger Goodell speaks out, and the player who started it all prepares to take the field tonight. And good morning, america. A big Opening Weekend for the nfl. You saw all the players echoing Colin Kaepernicks protest. That was before the games, and there was a big upset overnight. The patriots winning over the cardinals. That was without tom brady. Four games suspended, and his backup, Jimmy Garoppolo stepping in. Well talk to tom about what he was up to. Michael was covering football over the weekend. He will be back tomorrow. Hes on his way back. We begin with the race for the white house, and the latest on Hillary Clintons health. After she was rushed out of a 9 11 memorial event caught on tape stumbling. Her aides lifting her into a vehicle. But there are more questions about her health. Abcs cecilia vega has more on this. Reporter good morning to you, robin. Serious questions about her health and about why her campaign did not disclose this diagnosis sooner. Hillary clintons health was the subject of rightwing blogs and conspiracy theories. Now it is a central issue in this campaign. The video Shows Hillary clinton leaving the 9 11 memorial early. As the van doors opens, she doesnt move. A team of aides and secret Service Agents rush to h one grabbing her by the waist. Another by the arm. Her head bobbing. As clinton tries to enter the van, she loses her footing and nearly collapses. It takes three people to help her. Clinton nearly hits the ground as they put her in that van. Which then drives to her daughter chelseas apartment. About two hours later, clinton appears, smiling and waving. How are you feeling, secretary clinton . Feeling great. Reporter she greeted a young girl. But ignored questions about her health. What happened . What happened . Its a Beautiful Day in new york. What happened . What happened . Reporter initially, Clintons Campaign said she felt overheated. During the ceremony. It wasnt until hours later on sunday evening that her Team Revealed she was sick. Her doctor said she was diagnosed with pneumonia on friday. Every time i think about trump, i get allergic. Reporter it came in an example of a recent cough clinton said was related to allergies. We have 63 days to go. Reporter the doctor says in a statement that the 68yearold democratic nominee was put on antibiotics and advised to rest and modify her schedule. Adding that she became overheated and dehydrated at the memorial but she is now recovering nicely. Clintons health was also the she suffered a concussion after fainting and hitting her head. At the time, aides downplayed the severity of the injury, but she later appeared wearing special glasses for double vision. She had a blood clot. It took her six months to make a full recovery. On the campaign trail, donald trump has turned clintons health and stamina into an attack line. She doesnt have the strength or the stamina. And you know what . We can be nice and politically correct, and say we dont have the time anymore, fos. Off the attacks as conspiracy theories. There are so many of them, ive lost track of them. Reporter this morning, shes back home in chappaqua following Doctors Orders for rest. This morning, clinton had planned to leave on a Campaign Swing to california, and her trip to the west coast has been canceled. Shes facing renewed calls to release her full medical records. So far, no word from the campaign on whether that will happen. Donald trump has also not released his this campaign. Thats right. Thank you. Were going to bring in dr. Richard besser, and martha our own roundtable in the morning. Yeah. You saw the video. What did you see . Shes leaning on a post there. The door is open. She goes to get in, shes supported under her arms. Her feet come up off the ground. You can see that shes not able to walk in on her own. When you see Something Like that, it could be caused by any number of things. Whats reassuring to me as a doctor is the video 90 minutes later. Shes outside the apartment. She is able to talk with people and greet,s and that, to me, is consistent with the story that were hearing that she was dehydrated and got rehydrated and was feeling better at that time. The doctor is saying pneumonia. Some people are wondering, could it be something more serious . You hear the word pneumonia. People wonder what that even is. Pneumonia is a lung infection. It can be caused by bacteria, by viruses. By funguses. What i would like the know is how was she examined . How did they make the diagnosis . Did she have an xray . What kind of pneumonia . Walking pneumonia. That used to refer to microplasma, and it was mild, and people might not know they had it until a doctor put a stethoscope on their chest. People could go about their day. Certain types of pneumonia are contagious. Some need antibiotics. Other ones dont and theres a lot there as a doctor i would want to know of disclosure as well. She was diagnosed on friday. That statement comes out early in the day, and says overheated, but doesnt disclose. The pneumonia echoes of 2012 when she had the concussion. When she was secretary of state. As cecilia mentioned, early in december, december 9th, she basically called in sick to the state department. They said shes under the weather. What we didnt really know for about four or five days was that she had fallen. They kept saying she was not they gave no details. She actually was diagnosed with a concussion on a thursday of that week and didnt come out until saturday. Tell us about the concussion. Then the blood clot later in the month. They basically said, she wants to get back to work, and she is making good progress. A month later, we see her with those glasses. And they did not disclose those glasses were for double vision. Somebody caught it by looking at the photograph. They made a big point at the time that she wasnt hospitalized. They said she wasnt hospitalized, but what happens is they bring the hospital to her. They do tests there. They had 24hour nursing care. But they never, ever said what exactly was going on. As a doctor right now, youre seeing a lot of opeds by other doctors, about what obligation each candidate has to disclose. Pretty extraordinary situation. Donald trump, 70 years old, and Hillary Clinton, 68. Released Something Like 1,200 pages. Some of the calls are for an independent panel to do a medical evaluation. You cant play professional football or baseball without having a medical clearance. Without someone doing a thorough exam, who is independent. I dont think thats unreasonable for a president. As you hit your 70s, there are all kinds of problems that tend to come up that you see less in people who are young. And people want to know the Health Status of their candidates. Doctors wont lie when theyre talking. They also Wont Disclose things without the permission of a patient or a candidate. As we said, neither candidate neither candidate has released those medical records. After this and because of the age and what youre talking about, more pressure. And brings up those issues of mistrust again for Hillary Clinton. Which is such a huge issue in this campaign. For both sides, yes. A lot of people are wondering about donald trump. All eyes on his campaign and their reaction to what happened. Abcs tom llamas is at trump what is the campaign saying about all of this . Reporter robin, good morning. Minutes ago, donald trump weighed in on what has happened to Hillary Clinton. He says he hopes she feels better is, and he doesnt know what is going on. He said she had the coughing fit a week ago. He hopes to see her at the debate. The Trump Campaign is focused on something Hillary Clinton did over the weekend. Speaking at a fundraiser on sunday night, she said half of trumps supporters are, quote, a basket of deplorables. This morning, the Trump Campaign is out with a new campaign ad making sure voters hear that statement. Speaking to wealthy donors, Hillary Clinton called tens of millions of americans deplorable. You could put half of trumps supporters into what i call the basket of deplorables. The racist, sexist, homophobic, name it. People like you, you, and you, deplorable. Reporter now, the Clinton Campaign and clinton herself did apologize for that statement. The next day, she said, quote, last night, i was grossly generalistic. And thats never a good idea. I regret saying half. That was wrong. Now, robin, this is something the Trump Campaign is going to hone in on this week. Trump has called this very insulting and saying this will affect clinton in the polls. The Trump Campaign is likening this to something that mitt romney said in 2012, right . Reporter thats right. Donald trump is calling this you will remember, thats the big gaffe mitt romney had in the 2012 campaign, when he compared 47 of america, saying they were def dependent on government, and they all felt like victims. Many people felt that comment possibly costed romney the election. Lets bring in jon karl and get more. Lets start with the deplorable comment. You heard what donald trump is doing. In several battleground states right now, and Hillary Clintons apology, not really an apology. She regretted using the word half, but reinforced the message she was sending friday night in the statement he sent out. I think shes at least betting on the fact that this will not be her 47 comment. Yeah, that was one of the great nonapology apologies to say she regretted using the word half. What is the percentage . Is it a quarter . What was she saying . One of the ironclad rules of politics is you can mock your opponent. You can maybe get away with callinyo but you dont mock the voters. Thats what shes done. And the danger for her is shes just given a big motivator to trump voters. Right now, trump voters are more energized, more motivated than Hillary Clinton voters. Also, independents dont like the namecalling either. Our poll shows his supporters right now, much more enthusiastic than hers, and it shows martha mentioned this honest and trustworthy numbers. 35 for Hillary Clinton, 31 for donald trump. She didnt help herself yesterday. Not at all, george. I mean this is her biggest vulnerability as a president ial candidate. That voters simply do not trust her. Those are remarkable numbers for both candidates. You have roughly a third saying they trust her. Twothirds suggesting not. If you cant trust her about how she feels, what can you trust her about . This was not simply a lack of transparency yesterday. This was borderline deception. They said she was overheated. They said she was feeling fine, and you find out she was diagnosed with pneumonia. Not a good day on the transparency part. What do you make of the argument that shes held to a double standard . She puts out much more information than donald trump. He has a fourparagraph letter. She puts out ten years of tax returns. He doesnt put out any, and the point they are making is, yes, this may be an issue, but you all are not covering the other side. His doctor. A doctor that wasnt necessarily qualified to make the assessment, and it was frankly a joke of a letter. It said he would be the most healthy, robust president we have ever had. Hes not submitted to this. He would be the oldest newly elected president in american history. He clearly has to do something here. But look, this is about her. What happened yesterday is about her. No question. Thank you, jon karl. And thank you martha and rich. The battle against the zika virus making headlines. Miami beachs mayor warns the threat is growing. Residents say they are concerned about the chemicals being used to fight mosquitos. Abcs gio benitez is on the scene there, miami beach. Good morning, gio. Reporter hey, robin. Good morning to you. I gotta tell you some residents are furious. They worry this spray is toxic. In fact, in parts of south florida, its already started killing off those important honey bees, and now they want it to end. Expected after a weekend of fighting off zika mosquitos from the air. With 56 people already infected by local mosquitos in south florida. Hey, hey, we dont want no spray. Reporter right now, some residents in miami beach are more concerned about the spraying than the actual virus. Folks of miami beach did not consent to this. We were not consulted. Reporter the insecticide is instantly in flight. The cdc says naled is safe. It has been banned in europe since 2012. Protesters starting an online petition. Nearly reaching its 10,000signature goal. But across south florida, other cou counties say they are using a less harmful insecticide. They say its not harmful to humans, pets or aquatic habitats. Its found naturally in the ground. Its an organic material. It has been used in the florida keys for a number of years. Reporter as the fight against the disease intensifies, needed to fight zika in florida and across the country is drying up. Zika is spreading. By the end of this month, well be out of money to respond effectively. Reporter and here in miami beach, because of all the spraying, were told that some parents actually kept their Children Home from school on friday. Clearly, this is a huge issue here, george. Boy, it sure is. Thank you very much. Now to the stunning recall of Samsungs Galaxy note 7. The company urge people with the smartphone to shut it off, return it immediately.

We begin with patriotism and protests across the nfl. The first sunday of the football season coming on the 15th anniversary of 9 11. Not stopping some players from take a knee, raising a fist abcs Kayna Whitworth is in santa clara where the 49ers and Colin Kaepernick will take the field tonight. Thats where it started. Kayna . Reporter robin, good morning. The 49ers host the rams here tonight. We saw players across the league show their support for Colin Kaepernicks call to end racial inequality. On a solemn anniversary, we saw some teams handle this moment. Overnight, a wave of nfl members joining Colin Kaepernicks protests against racism and police brutality. Coast to coast, players supporting the movement. Entire teams, making the unified decision to stand, by linking arms in solidarity during the National Anthem. . O say can you see . Reporter on the seattle sideline, it wasnt just players, but coaches, employees, fans following suit. Hopefully, it will unify our country. To where theres a message that now listen to us. Reporter the Kansas City Chiefs doing the same. But their cornerback grabbing headlines after raising his fist in the air. Two patriots players also raising a fist. This, as over the weekend, Roger Goodell spoke out. About kaepernicks movement. I support our players speaking out about issues they think need to be changed in our society. What i do believe, though, is the respect for our country. Reporter making a statement has come at a cost for some players, like Brandon Marsha the air Academy Federal Credit Union dropping the player saying while we respect brandons right of expression, his actions are not a representation of our organization and membership. But for some, kaepernicks movement is opening a dialogue. This former player, also a green beret, says while he was initially angered by the stance, over the last two weeks, his feelings have evolved. I thought what the seahawks ended up doing was powerful. Not only because they were all intermixed and a lot of people in the stands were doing it, too. Thats what its supposed to be all about. Bringing people together. Trying to be part of the answers. Instead of protesting in some way and expecting everybody else to fix the problem. Reporter he says its not inspiring unless kaepernick and the other players become agents of change. Hes encouraging Colin Kaepernick and the other players to communities. Not just financially, but by donating their time, as well. Robin . Thank you. For more, we bring in stephen a. Smith. So much happening on sunday in week one of the nfl. First of all, your reaction . That was quite a moment when you saw players, coaches, fans, all joining arms like that. Linking arms. Oh, definitely, especially in seattle. Everybody was locking arms together. And they were just basically reminding the country of who we are, who were supposed to be. If you recall, obviously, the 15th anniversary of 9 11. Think about that day, how tragic it was for all of us as together. Because on that fateful day, the bottom line was, it wasnt black or white. We were all americans and standing as one with somebody elsewhere attacking us as a nation. The Seattle Seahawks in particular, i had spoken to that team, that team in particular wanted to remind the world that were all one. Were all supposed to be about being together. Its about its supposed to be about togetherness. And that was the kind of message th particularly on a day like yesterday, and i thought they succeeded. A lot of what you saw at the football stadiums across the country, oh gosh. It was quite a moment. That one in particular linking arms, standing together. What about the protests, though, the kneeling, the raising of the fists . Your reaction to that . When you think about it, dont just think about the star spangled banner, but think about the pledge of allegiance. I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of america. And to the republic for which it stands. Under got, indivisible. For liberty and justice for all. You see Colin Kaepernick and others stepping up, kneeling, raising a fist. When he took a knee, et cetera. What theyre saying is that, you know, its supposed to be about justice for all. And that simply is not the case when it comes to a lot of africanamericans in this country. History shows that. Its undeniable. Theyre saying that in spite of everything thats going on and in spite of our willingness to all be together, this flagrant ineptitude, and, you know, unfairness taking place in this nation, it has to be addressed. That cant be forgotten in the throes of all this thats going on. We live in the greatest country in the world, and there are things to come with it that are beneficial to all of us, bus at the same time, there are issues that need to be addressed and it cannot be forgotten. Thats the message the athletes want to make sure is hit home. Which is why they talked about violence against unarmed africanamericans and others. There have been consequences as we heard in kaynas report. Brandon marshall losing one of his sponsors. And you say, that is sending the wrong message. You believe that . I absolutely believe that. I think it reeks of hypocrisy. Because if america is about everybody, and the land of the free and home for the brave, about freedom of speech, which is in the First Amendment of our constitution, how are you going to punish a guy for expressing himself . He didnt harm anybody. He didnt impede anything going on. The games were still played et cetera. It shows that when they say, you have freedoms, once again, you dont necessarily have that. You lost an endorsement deal. Thats somebody saying, we dont want you to be a part of us. Its unamerican as far as im concerned. Youre asking him to quell his speech, his rights as a u. S. Citizen. Thats really something we have to work on as well. I thought it reeked of hypocrisy. Before you go. Jesse is sitting here as well. The patriots. Tom bradys backup comes in. I dont want to talk about the saints by the way. That breaks my heart. I wouldnt do that to you. What about what we saw with tom brady and his beautiful wife, gisele . He is keeping busy. During this fourgame suspe suspension. What do you make of that . First of all, he has his wife at home with him. Shes there. Shes his ultimate supporter, and kudos to her. We all know what is coming. Tom brady will come back after the fourth game. He is going to come back with major attitude, and he is going to wreak havoc upon everybody because he is peeved he is not playing. And the fact he plays in the afc east helps and because he wasnt there, the patriots were the only team within the division that actually won. Its a prelude to what is to come. The new England Patriots will win the division yet again. They will get to the playoffs. You have some chuckles here from george. Wreak havoc. Life is good for tom brady. Beautiful wife. Throwing on the lawn. You cant get tackled on the lawn, and your team is winning but remember, didnt he fill in for drew bledsoe . Yeah, and won a super bowl. Thats not going to happen. Tom brady. Were not starting a controversy. Hes just fine. I want to see the pictures some more. Coming up on the big board, Greta Van Susteren is speaking out. Could she be the next to file a lawsuit . An alarming report about parents medical mistakes with their kids. Our insiders join us in two minutes at the big board. Minutes at the big board. When are they leaving . Grilled cheese and campbells tomato soup go together like grandchildren and chaos. Made for real, real life. You know how it is, someone does something nice for you and you feel obligated to do something nice back. Maybe your aunt sent you a crocheted scarf, you sent a thank you note. And the crochet just kept on coming. Well, at carmax, you dont have to return the favor. Theyll buy your car even if you dont buy a car from them. Because feeling obligated is uncomfortable. In places it shouldnt be. Carmax wont make you feel that way. Lucky you. Back now with the big board. Our team of insiders is here live. Dan abrams here with the first one. It deals with fox news and Greta Van Susteren. She left the Network Earlier this month, and shes taking on her former bosses saying they failed to check roger ailes Sexual Harassment allegations. This is something about the turnabout for greta. She has been defending ailes. And also went after Gretchen Carson in multiple interviews, calling her a disgruntled employee, saying her allegations were wrong. For greta to now come forward and say, you know what, i didnt mean to defend him. I regret it, et cetera. Thats a part of it. What about the part where you were attacking Gretchen Carlson . I think a more full and complete apology is really needed to turn the tides here. She said on facebook, i regret roger ailes was not supervised by those in a Public Corporation who had the duty to supervise him. Will these comments affect ongoing litigation . Look. I think she may end up having litigation. That feels like a copout. Greta is a friend of mine. I have enormous respect for her. I do, too. The bottom line is to suggest she didnt know roger ailes had almost complete autonomy at fox news feels like a copout. Do what he wanted there. And she made comment after comment after comment supporting him, not just saying Something Like, you know what, i worked with him. He was always professional. I never saw anything like that. She went much further than that in her comments. Its a little bit tough for her to have it both ways. If she does end up in litigation with fox, a lot of the old statements will come back to haunt her. Isnt her husband a lawyer . He is. A prominent lawyer. I think hes probably leading the charge on the legal front. Well see what happens. Thanks, dan. Now to the concerning new report about parents medical mistakes. The American Academy of pediatrics, putting 2,100 parents to the test. Finding more than 80 of them made at least one dosing error when measuring liquid medication defended for children. Dr. Jennifer ashton is going to talk about this. Jen, when you see these numbers, 68 . Researchers discover 68 of the led to an overdose. This is startling information. Absolutely, robin. And heres the actual study. It occurred in the premier journal of pediatrics. And some context here. We have heard there have been issues with dosing, particularly liquid medications for kids because they come mostly in that liquid form. So this study really sought to further define the labeling and the dosing. And to some extent literacy. Do we need labels in spanish . Do parents really understand decimal points and milliliters . That can be hard to understand. And the results as you mentioned, almost 85 made one or more errors, and 68 made overdosing errors. This is a wakeup call. We have to do better. This could be a life or death situation. What can parents do to get it right . I think the first thing, ask, ask, ask, ask your pediatrician. Ask the pharmacist. Make sure you understand what the correct dose for your child is. And ask to see it. That is key. The visual on those syringes is important. And then account for that spitting up. Kids will often spit up the m medication, and keep a med record. That can be very helpful. Thank you, jen. Move to a big week for uber. Looks like theyre set to debut selfdriving cars in pittsburgh. This will be the first time the technology has been available to the general public. Becky worley is here with more. People saying its way too soon. Robots are coming, ah uh, yeah. The idea of an autonomous driving car freaking people out a little bit. Lets break this down. Three weeks ago, uber announcing selfdriving cars would be coming to pittsburgh. The times now reporting that the rollout is imminent. Any day now. The idea of 100 Autonomous Vehicles cruising the streets of steel city. Residents are worried. Why . And no route notifications. And the mayor, bill peduto, saying, yeah, and . His direct quote saying, you can put up red tape or roll out the red carpet. I think this is worth hitting the brakes. This is not 100 robotic cars roaming pittsburgh. Every car will have a driver in it, ready to take over as needed. Not autonomous. Who thinks this is a good idea . Not for me. I mean, i have had you have to, becky. Youre our tech person. For some of them, im perfectly happy to have no driver at all. Im too much of a control freak. There is no way. I would get behind the wheel. Most of them have been good. Your rating just went down. Exactly. Thanks to all of our insiders, and coming up. There she is. Miss america. Arkansas savvy shield. The thing that has everyone talking. The judges. Well tell you why in just two minutes. Come on back. Come on back. Just two minutes. Come on back.

Talk to your rheumatologist. This is humira at work. Theres our friend and colleague, Elizabeth Vargas. With her boys. Thats in fridays 20 20 special, where elizabeth spoke to diane about her alcohol her life, job, and family. Now elizabeth is sharing more with her new book, between breaths a memoir of panic and addiction. How does it feel to get it all out . It feels a bit like a relief. Im incredibly overwhelmed and grateful for the reaction that we got from, i mean, im still getting it as i speak. It hasnt stopped since friday night from people out there who are suffering from similar issues. Who are suffering with anxiety. 40 million americans suffer from it in this country. We know from our research that women are more likely to selfmedicate, whether its anxiety, depression, stress, unhappiness, with alcohol. Its one of the things we learned in the special. For you, the struggle with anxiety preceded the struggle with who will. Thats lifetime. Life long. Huge. And for a lot of women, as well. For a huge amount of women. 62 of women who are alcoholics also suffer from anxiety. Its the leading condition that that leads them to drink too much. So what was it like closer to home . I understand you watched the special with your boys, sam and zach. It could be a daunting audience. It could be, right . Listen, they knew everything already. I would never put them in the position of learning something for the first time on national television. So i had taken care to tell them everything that i write about in my new book. And that i talked about on friday night. The one th or heard before, of course, were the two snippets of tape we managed to dig up and find where you could see me very hungover at a shoot. And zachary turned to me and said, wow, mom, you looked really bad. He was right. It was nice. I got to spend the whole weekend talking with them. You know with kids. You have kids around the same age mine are. A lot of times, the questions come the next day. And you have to be there when the questions come. They did not know that you and that was the biggest thing they kept asking, how do you die . What do you mean you can die . What happens to your body . I explained all that to them. What do you say to the people now who may be watching . Clearly it is going to help a lot of people going through similar problems who say its too soon for you to come out now. You havent been sober long enough. To write this book you mean . Oh, listen, thats a anybody can say that. And im sure, an argument could be made for that. But im not sure when is the right time. There is no answer for that. Um, you know, 10 years, 20 years of sobriety perhaps . The big thing is, i didnt choose to go public. That decision was made for me. I feel like i have the chance and im so grateful to have this chance to speak out and maybe start just start to reduce a little of the stigma attached to alcoholism and addiction in the country. It is a disease. Telling an alcoholic to stop drinking is like telling we have to treat it as a disease. So many people dont seek help because theyre ashamed. And they dont. People have different kinds of triggers. People talk about hunger. Anger, lonely, tired. Oh, h. A. L. T. H. A. L. T. The acronym is h. A. L. T. Hungry, angry, lonely, tired. Those are the warning signs we look out for. For me, tired and angry are the big ones. When that happens . You have to take care. You watch yourself. Youre constantly reaching out to people. For me, its still the harde thing to do. As i write in my book, i have never, ever hung up the phone after talking to somebody and said, well, that was a waste of time. Now i feel worse. I all feel better. Addiction is a lonely, isolating disease. Youre holding everybody out away from you because youre keeping this big, enormous, the more you can let people in, the healthier you can be and happier. You bring them in and it brings it home. Yes.

Im telling you, a lot of people are reacting to what krau had to write, what you had to do you think, um, are people going to listen . And why are you saying this now . Ive been saying this for a long time. And, Christian Siriano and his work for leslie jones for the premier of ghostbusters. Ive been an advocate for women larger than a size 12 for many, many, many years. There are 100 million of them. Why doesnt this industry wake yeah. Agreed. I have two questions for you, tim. Were you worried you would alienate some colleagues . You call it like it is. First of all, welcome back. Thank you, tim. And, i have to say, yes, i was very trepidatious about the article. I had um a lot of oh, tense moments thinking is this really the right thing to do . Well, no, thats not correct. It is the right thing to do. But will it c backla backlash . I was willing to take that on. Good for you. So, and yet, you just said it. Youve been talking about it for a very long time. How does it change now . What steps need to be taken . Well, im hoping that the fact that we become a more Inclusive Society and culture here in this nation and that were so much more open to different points of view. Different individuals who possess different characteristics. That the woman larger than a size 12 will become a part of that entire equation and that i have to say, what really baffles me is why retailers are not vigorously on top of this issue. All they can do is make more money. You bring up a good point there. Because people want to know why this is fleeting. You bring up christian. He was applauded for having models of all sizes at his fashion week show. Ashley graham, we know, as well. Shes on the forefront of that. So why arent designers taking advantage of this more . Wh not the rule . Well, robin, i believe it goes back many, many decades to the origins of our fashion industry and this rarified, glamorous world that the industry wants to portray. They say that larger woman is not part of this. And it Everyone Needs to be included. I think theres nothing greater and more wonderful than saying, isnt a sevenfoottall glamazon and make that woman look fabulous. Thank you for speaking out, tim. It was a strong piece. Well thought. And the new season of project runway premiers this thursday on lifetime. Youll see him at the emmys. Youll be on the red carpet together. Were doing that together. Right now, to ginger.

Yours . Shocker. Where the wild things are. [ cheers and applause ] a classic. Its a classic. And speaking of a classic. Because when youre growing up, my mother and father were big on education. Always reading books. There are a lot of kids that are in underserved communities and they dont have access to books. They dont have access to libraries. There is this Amazing Program by jetblue. They have vending machines for the kids in underserved communities like this one right here. Jetblue. And, my friend, carrington, where is carrington . Where is carrington . Where is carrington . Come on in here. Yeah. [ cheers and applause ] all right. Show me how it works. What do you do . First, you push this button. Mmhmm. Then have you used a vending machine before . I have.

So we put them where theres book deserts, where people cant buy books. Your mom or someone is telling you to smile. She keeps going like this. Is there a book battle you want to tell us about .

What was it about the vending machine . Why that kind of way of doing it . It gives kids the power of choice. No adult is telling them what book they have to take. They just go and take the book that they want to take. It allows the children really to take as many books as they want. It gives them the opportunity to share books and swap books with each other. I love that idea. Some of the girls in detroit started a book club. Did they real it was really cool. Well have to have them on. This was my book. You pick what you want. How old are you .
