For the win. The mvp taking one for his team leading the Golden State Warriors to victory plus the nolook shot of the night everyone is talking about this morning. And good morning, america. We want to get right to that breaking news. An egyptair flight heading from paris to cairo disappeared overnight, 66 people on board. The radar shows it over the mediterranean after it entered egyptian airspace. Youre looking live at the airport in cairo where it was headed. Passengers families gathering there. It is an airbus a320 with 56 passengers, ten crew members on board. It departed Charles De Gaulle airport in paris at 11 09 p. M. Local time and officials lost contact with it as it was over water 3 40 into that flight. The french president spoke confirming it was damaged and we have full Team Coverage live in paris and cairo and begin with our aviation correspondent david kerley in washington, good morning, david. Reporter good morning, at this hour an air and sea search is under way for the wreckage but already there are several clues about this crash and whether it was an accident or an act of terrorism. The airbus a320 with 66 people on board including ten crew was on a late night flight to cairo leaving Charles De Gaulle airport at 11 09 local time. With only 20 minutes left in the fourhour flight, the pilot speaks to air Traffic Control saying all is fine. Just three minutes later, the jet disappears from radar over the mediterranean northwest of cairo. The jet had been in egyptian airspace for ten minutes at an altitude of 37,000 feet. Egyptair is reporting receiving an emergency signal possibly from one of the planes emergency transmitters which are activated by water. Griefstricken family members to get more information. According to egyptair, the pilot had more than 6,000 hours of flying time on the airbus a320. His copilot more than 2,000 hours. Egypt, greece and france are coordinating search efforts now in the daylight hours. Mari marinetraffic. Com showing five freighters scrambling to what could be the crash zone. Among the ten crew members three were reportedly Security Officials similar to u. S. Air marshals which frances transport minister calls usual practice. So heres what we know at this point. This jet was in egyptian airspace at cruising altitude when it drops off radar with no distress call from the pilot. That suggests something sudden and dont forget, there were three air marshals on this flight. Many questions still this morning but it appears officials do have a good idea where this wreckage is and it, the wreckage and black boxes will likely reveal whether this was an accident or act of terrorism. Robin. All right, david, thank you. Took off from Charles De Gaulle airport in paris late last night heading for cairo and Alex Marquardt is there at the paris airport with the latest as the families of those missing gather. Good morning, alex. Reporter good morning, robin. Thats right. This is terminal 1 at Charles De Gaulle airport where these passengers came before midnight to check into their flight. 56 of them, among them 15 french citizens and this morning their families desperately waiting for any news. The french government is taking care of those families in a nearby Airport Hotel in one of two crisis centers, the second investigating on the investigation that the french have launched. Just a short time ago frances president hollande came out with a statement saying the information we have at this stage confirms this plane was damaged and lost. The french have offered help in this search. They have sent a plane to the mediterranean to join egyptian and greek assets. Now after those two devastating terror attacks here in paris last year, security was beefed the airport and, of course, the immediate fear is that this incident could be terror related, as well. Back to you. Okay, alex, now we turn to randa ali at the cairo airport. Good morning, randa. What is the scene there right now . Good morning. The scene is relatively calm except for the families of the passengers who come in and leave back and forth. The general sentiment is shock. Theyre all in shock and a lot of people are in tears. Not interested in talking to the press except to tell them that my son was on that or my daughter was a Flight Attendant on this plane and thats the general sentiment, just shock from the families. We have avenue heard from the french president. What are we hearing from egyptian officials this morning . Well, there is a press conference thats supposed to take place in 30 minutes with the minister of civil aviation. There has been finding yet. I talked to egyptair earlier and they said there is no official there is no official statement yet out and yet they are not denying whether it has crashed or not. No official statement out yet. Okay. Just waiting for the press conference. We will keep an eye on that. Randa ali, thanks very much. We turn to abcs chief investigative correspondent brian ross. As we said Nothing Official now but authorities are looking into the possibility of a bomb on board and whether this could be a link to terrorism . Thats right, robin. Good morning, french authorities are already studying airport Surveillance Video at Charles De Gaulle airport operating on the theory at this point only a theory that a bomb was smuggled onto the plane. In the last several weeks aviation Security Officials have been warning of possible many bos hidden in Laptop Computers. Terror groups in somalia have twice been linked to just such explosi explosives. In one case earlier this year on board a jetliner able to land safely. In another case, a laptop bomb that went off the most recent suspected terror attack to bring down an aircraft involved a russian jet that blew up over the sinai desert in egypt killing 224 people. Counterterror officials believe it was an inside job in which terrorists used back of the airport workers to smuggle an explosive device on board. Even with the best of security screening machines, if you have an insider who is willing to place an explosive on a plane, you have a real problem. Reporter isis later took responsibility for downing the russian jet posting this photo of what it said was the bomb hidden in a beverage can with a simple detonator. Close the switch and arm the timer to start its countdown. Reporter both isis and al qaeda have long targeted airplanes and airports. And the master al qaeda bomb maker remains at large despite repeated efforts to kill him. Egypt and france have bothee regularly targeted by a variety of terror groups and no shortage of candidates who might be responsible. Terrorism is only a working theory, one that can be not confirmed until the planes wreckage is located and tested for explosives. We heard in your report before inside job. How likely is it the case . Great concern. Back in december more than a dozen authorities dozen workers at airports in france lost their security clearance because of known ties to isisonline ties so its a great concern that an inside job could take place that somebody working at the airport could smuggle the bomb on. How likely is the possibility this is terrorism gentleman. Well, right now its a theory but the working assumption. Authorities have to operate on that assumption and right now theyre try tock find anybody who was in proximity to the plane who had access to talk to them. Searching over everything, thank you. Lets dig in more with Stephen Ganyard and our consultant brad garrett former fbi special agent. Steve, let me begin with you. Asbr could be an act of terror right now but lets go back to the plane and the possibility of a mechanical failure. It was a clear day. Can you rule that out . Yeah, you can never rule it out, george, until were able to do the whole investigation but in this case we have very good data coming from the airplane that was being updated at onesecond intervals at 37,000 feet and it disappeared. Airplanes, airliners do not disappear and looking at the idea that something catastrophic occurred like a bomb. When you think of 37,000 feet over the water, not over land, is that too high for a surfacetoair missile or shoulderfired missile . It is. Remember, you and i have talked about when the shoulderfired missiles have a limited altitude so were concerned that terrorists have these kinds of surfacetoair missiles but only go up to about 20,000 feet. This would require Something Like a radar guided very sophisticated radar guided missile up to 37,000 and u. Probably have some sort of an electronic signature that would warn them and say, hey, somebodys been shooting this kind of missile. So far we arent getting that guidance from u. S. Intelligence officials. Brad garrett, if the working theory is an inside job, perhaps a bomb on board what clues would agents be following now to get to the bottom of this . Well, the real key, george, is going to be who had access to the plane because typically bombs that take down planes are in the cargo bay like lockerbie, scotland, pan am 103, so who had access to the plane . Do they have video of the loading of the plane . But the real key is the background of the individuals working at the airport. As brian pointed out, theres a real issue in paris and france in general about extremists being involved in traditional jobs at airports and other locations, so thats where im going to be focusing in addition obviously to the passenger manifest. When you talk about that passenger manifest, given the facts as laid out by can you rule out hijacking or is that a lesser theory . Well, i suppose you could say that, george, but typically in hijacking, the hijacker wants attention, hes going to talk to the pilots, the flight crew, to get the cameras and the media attached to them. So i would say thats not probably likely based on the information we have. And, steve ganyard, were just getting information from the Greek Defense minister who said the information he has is that the plane made some abrupt turns and lost altitude before going down. What does that tell you . Well, first of all, george, we have to be careful here. If you remember back during the metrojet, the Russian Airliner brought down out of sharm el sheikh, the word we got out of the egyptians was never quite accurate and never got quite the right story. We have good data on the flight. No indication of any heading change, it just stopped flying at 37,000 feet. And i guess brad, as theyll be looking for eyewants, any kind of eyewitnesses. Some reports of people seeing a fireball but thats going to be key, as well. Yeah, i think one of the things here thats important, normally we want to get to the black boxes but in this case because it was likely catastrophic what theyll want to do is get to the wreckage thats at the bottom of the mediterranean right now and look for witness marks that would have shown some type of an explosion so we really teed to get to the wreckage thats on the bottom of the mediterranean. And, brad garrett, if it does turn out this was some kind of a terrorist act and bomb that perhaps originated in france, it seems like france now the e epicenter, so much a target in the heart of europe right now. It is and it would make sense, george of isis or other groups to again use france as the victims even though the flight was obviously closer to egypt. So i think thats a very good working theory as to maybe whats going on here. One thing we have not seen yet, brian ross, any claim of responsibility. Thats right. Generally it takes a day or two before terror groups will claim responsibility but they will want to claim responsibility if a terror group is responsible. Brian ross, steve ganyard, brad garrett, thanks very much. The latest on Airport Security here at home. Abcs mary bruce is at Reagan National airport with more on that. Good morning, mary. Reporter good morning. Well, u. S. Officials have been monitoring this situation closely overnight from the tsa to the faa and Homeland Security trying to glean any information. Now, its unclear at this point if they will change security measures at airports like this one, but its not uncommon for officials to make adjustments even as they are investigating. Now, all this comes, of course, as frustration is boiling over over these growing security lines at airports across the country. Thousands of travelers are being delayed and missing flights and now all of those complaints have lefthanded on capitol hill. Frustrated flyers are hoping the administration and lawmakers can finally do something to address this problem. Robin. Mary, a lot of people heading to the airports this how soon could this affect the growing security lines as youve just discussed . Well, the tsa has not announced any changes just yet. But, robin, they are keeping a close eye on this ongoing investigation. All right, mary bruce, thank you. Back to david kerley in washington covering this crisis with the tsa at airports all across the country and tobacco growing for weeks now and will get worse. It is going to get worse, george. This is something that tsa talked about, in fact, the Homeland Security secretary talked about it on friday. They said theyre not going to skimp on safety or security. You know, we have an incident like this and reminds people of how safe and secure they want to be when they go to the airports but then when we get the lines because tsa changed some of the procedures not because of brussels or any other attack but because they failed some tests last year and get these lines because tsa says they dont have enough officers its that balance. We want to stay safe and secure. None of us wants to spend three hours in line and thats the the white house is saying congress should fully fund tsa, give them more officers which the tsa says they need because so many more of us are flying. But this is another reminder, another incident thats just going to cement that idea that these when we go through tsa, these security measures cannot be reduced or relaxed so that we can stay safe, guys. Okay, david. Thank you. Going on to abcs senior justice correspondent Pierre Thomas now with more on how u. S. Officials are responding to all of this. Good morning, pierre. Reporter good morning, robin. U. S. Officials were alerted to this immediately last night. I was speaking to officials this morning. They are trying to get as much information as they can as quickly as they can because they know what happens overseas can have a direct impact inside the united states, again, the officials i spoke to have no clear indication of what this is or what this is not. But obviously they will be looking at security across the board and talking very closely to their french counterparts about what m because, again, terrorism has been our primary concern for months now concerning Aviation Security and u. S. Officials want to make sure theyre on top of any developments, again, when this happened they were all over it last night, robin, george. All right. Thank you, pierre and, of course, this is a very fluid situation and we will stay on top of this story. Right now to amy with todays other top stories starting with a u. S. Military jet crash. Yeah, thats right. Its remarkable that no one was injured. Youll see why when you look. The air force bomber a b52 aborted takeoff in guam and crashed but the seven crew members on board escaped in time. The air force is calling the incident a mishap. The bomber was deployed as part of the militarys security presence in the pacific. Meanwhile, the pentagon is investigating a close call between a u. S. Navy plane and two chinese fighter jets. The american spy plane was flying over the South China Sea when the chinese jets came within 100 feet of it. U. S. Officials say the american pilot was actually forced to maneuver to avoid a overnight House Republicans approved spending 622 million to fight the spread of the zika virus this summer. But that now sets up a showdown with the senate and white house which argued that is not nearly enough money.

We will get an update on all that in just a moment. Also right now donald trump escalating that war of words with the clintons bringing up the former president s history with women and accusing him of rape. Well have the latest on that in a moment. Well get to that. But first the latest on that missing egyptair flight, abcs Alex Marquardt is live at paris Charles De Gaulle airport with breaking new information. Good morning, alex. Reporter good morning, george. Just a short time ago we heard from frances president Francois Hollande. He said that no hypothesis can be ruled out in this crash, at to terrorism which paris is all too familiar with after those two massive attacks last year. Just moments ago we got word that in light of the november 13th attacks, that the lower house of parliament here in france has extended the state of emergency. Hollande also confirms that with regards to this flight that the plane was damaged and lost so the operating assumption is that it crashed. There is a sea and air search going on right now off the coast of egypt with assets from egypt, france and greece and we just heard from greeces Defense Ministry that tells us the egyptair pilot made a 90degree turn to the left and then a 360degree maneuver as he was losing altitude 20,000 feet in the air. He was last heard as he approached the plane was last heard from as it approached the egyptian coastline flying through clear skies ten miles inside egyptian airspace with 66 souls on board. Most of them egypt french, of course, the family members of all of those on board desperately waiting for news of their loved ones this morning. Robin, george. All right, alex, thank you. The news about the maneuvering but we go back to abcs chief investigative correspondent brian ross with more on the investigation right now. What are you continuing to hear, brian . Well, good morning, robin and george. The information we have at this point is that the working theory is that somehow a bomb was smuggled on to the plane in paris. In the last several weeks, Authorities Say there have been warnings about Laptop Computers used to hide bombs. There are several examples of that in somalia. Also officials are concerned about perhaps back of the airport workers being involved. Last december dozens of airport workers at french airports lost their security clearances after it was determined they had been online sympathizers of isis. So there are several working theories, thats the assumption right now, authorities, robin, already beginning to screen tapes of what happened just before the plane took off to see who was around looking at those tapes and everything they can get their hands on. More from Stephen Ganyard. Steve, a little more information now on that Greek Defense men ve ve ministrys information. 90degree turned and then a 360degree. Your caution that some of what theyve said in the past turned out not to be true. Assuming it is true what would that tell you. Only deepens the mystery. Doesnt make any sense. An Airline Pilot would not arbitrarily make turns. The greeks may be basinging that on their radar. At the edge of their coverage. We have solid gps data that doesnt suggest any turn like that a normal flight up until the moment it disappeared. Suggests a sudden explosion if it was terrorism. It does. It does and so what theyre going to do now, look for the wreckage and im kind of surprised we havent found any yet but we have a the heading it was on, how fast it was going so its just a matter of extrapolating how far it might have fallen to get into the sea. After they do that theyll recover wreckage, remains then the real challenge is to get to the bottom of the mediterranean. Find the wreckage itself and look for evidence of bomb on board of airplane. Then you get to that possibility of a bomb right there. We know terrorists at paris and france has been under a state of emergency now for several months, the tightest possible security you would imagine. And just leads to the question how could someone possibly smuggle a bomb on board . Well, its probably not a person. Its probably a cargo something that was flown in the cargo hold. It doesnt get quite the same screening as people going through metal detectors and xray machines that would find a bomb so in this case as we saw in the sharm el sheikh, the russian airplane brought down it was an inside job where threw a bomb in the back of the cargo plane, cargo hold when nobody was looking and thats what brought down the airplane so i th cargo side rather than somebo sneaking through the passenger screening process. Stephen ganyard, thanks very much. We, of course, with stay on top of the story. The race for the white house now. Donald trump escalating that war of words with the clintons as a new National Poll shows trump edging out Hillary Clinton in a tight race. Abcs tom llamas has the latest. Good morning, tom. Reporter robin, good morning to you and donald trump already tweeting about that apparent plane crash this morning. But the big political story right now, what donald trump said last night about bill clinton and the Clinton Campaign already saying this is a classic trump move, Say Something outrageous to detract from the issues. Overnight while defending his record with women, donald trump launching his most severe attack yet against Hillary Clinton and her husband. How do you compare that against clinton, okay. Reporter during an interview with sean hannity from knox news trump suggests president bill clinton raped a women after hannity names women who brought allegations against the former president. Are they going to interview juanita broderick, paula jones and kathlyn willy and one case its about exposure, in another case its about groping and fondling and touching against a womans will. And rape. And rape. Should that big settlements. Massive settlements. Reporter trump not done there. Lost his law license, okay. Couldnt practice law and you dont read about this on clinton. Reporter the Clinton Campaign firing back suggesting trump was attacking because he felt, quote, wounded saying after a week of still refusing to release his taxes and likening oakland and ferguson to the dangers in iraq, of course, he wants to change the subject. And the democrats dealing with their own created drama as Bernie Sanders stands his ground against critics who say he did not go far enough to denounce scenes like this. Chaos in nevada. His supporters delegate counts at a state convention. Violence is absolutely unacceptable, harassing individuals is unacceptable. Reporter now we mentioned earlier that donald trump has tweeted about the breaking news weve been following throughout the broadcast, that plane crash, trump tweeting looks like yet another terrorist attack. Airplane departed from paris, when will we get tough, smart and vigilant . Back to you, guys.

They had to euthanize the bison after tourists put it in their van. Abcs Neal Karlinsky has the story. Good morning, neal. Reporter lara, good morning. A lot of strong feelings about this one. Once again people getting too close to wildlife. This time with tragic results. This morning new video reveals the story behind the baby Yellowstone Bison captured in this Controversial Photo put in the back of a visitors suv. This video taken by a different visitor shows the little calf earlier struggling to make it across a river and keep up. Come on, baby. Reporter later it approaches the visitors in distress trembling and sticking close to a car. Go, little buffalo. It was really horrific to see that little calf laying in the road. Reporter it is believed to be the same calf that another visitor packed into his suv and took to a field office for help. We now know the result, the young bison was rejecte herd and had to be euthanized. The man in trouble for trying to help the little calf has been identified as sahmus kazaam and was issued this for disturbing wildlife and told a wildlife officer he feared it would be roadkill and was staying clothe to his engine for warmth but the picture and resulting tragedy exploded on social media. Even an online petition, justice for baby bison. Yellowstones own Facebook Page has 14,000 comments and counting. People outraged the bison was put down. Park officials responding that they dont have the facilities to quarantine a young animal and check for disease or to care for a bison that cant fend for itself. Its illegal to interact with wildlife at yellowtone but that hasnt stopped visitors. Some seriously injured in just the last year getting too close to take selfies of all natalie kinsel who took the video of the baby calf said people shouldnt judge the man who put the calf in his suv too harshly. It was out of the goodness of their heart. Reporter the man would took the calf knows what he did was wrong. He wouldnt do it again but if there was another occasion, he would call wildlife officers for help. Lara. Yep. Learn from that. Just wish something could have been done. Wish he could have been brought somewhere, reintroduced into the wild. Its a shame. All right, neal, thank you. Coming up on Good Morning America, Robin Wrights fight for equal pay.

We heard that, yes, but lets get right to the battle over equal pay. A new twist this morning from the first lady on house of cards. Robin wright arguing she should be paid the same as costar kevin spacey. 20 20 anchor Elizabeth Vargas has more. Robin wright is not just arguing she should be paid as much as her male costar, she wasnt and is just the latest highly paid highprofile actress calling attention to an issue plaguing many working women in the country, the failure to earn equal pay for equal work. Beneath clarp e underwoods icy stare and perfectly polished exterior im done trying to win over peoples hearts. Reporter is a ruthless politician who stops at nothing to get what she wants. I am looking out for myself just like you are. Reporter now offscreen robin wright is doing just that, putting on her best poker face during contract negotiations with netflix demanding to be paid the same as her costar kevin spacey. I was like, i want to be paid the same as kevin. Reporter wright speaking out at a Rockefeller Foundation and Huffington Post event tuesday night describing her shrewd negotiating tactic with the shows producers. I was looking at statistics and Claire Underwoods character was more popular than his and i was like you better pay me or im going and they did. Reporter despite her reported 5. 5 million salary, wright is now adding to the ongoing conversation both in and out of hollywood about gender pay gaps. Its a male dominant workplace society. It just it always has been. It started a year and half ago at the oscars when Patricia Arquette demanded equal pay for equal work and stalking about their salaries with each other. Ill do whatever it takes too but i will not let this go. Reporter netflix declined to comment on the matter but wright says it is a pandemic that needs to be changed. Its the push. Its how gentle and how forceful is that push but it has to be unacceptable at this stage. With elizabeth, tory johnson is our workplace contributor. Going to have more on this discussion. I know youve done a lot on 20 20 . Right. The outside people will say hes well compensated. Shes a hollywood actress. Who cares. Exactly. On its face we shouldnt care what richly paid hollywood actresses are paid however these women are very famous, honored at being at the top of their field and if they arent getting paid ee quailly to their costars, it says something about the value of a womans work and in this country right now 40 of American Families have a woman as the primary or sole breadwinner. A huge issue for all working women not just the rich actresses. Wonderful they know they have a platform and so they can speak for others, so, tory, what did robin wright do here that we should follow and could possibly use. I think there are three very specific calling them wright rules. The first is she did her research. So she discovered that and knew, quite frankly that her female role was equivalent to the male counterpart in terms of the importance to the story line. She knew often at times that her characters popularity eclipsed that of her male counterpart so when you are armed with those beyond like i am woman pay me more. That just doesnt work. We have to understand why should we be paid more . What is it about our position and the value we bring to it . So you do your research. The next thee did right she used her voice and so often this is the hardest thing to do because we dont all have the confidence of a Claire Underwood so very often we hope, we pray that somebody will notice but hope is not a strategy when it comes to salary negotiation. We have to be willing to speak up and so if you are willing to speak up and ask for what you are worth there is a greater chance in getting it because we cant leave it up to employers to sort of correct pay disparities on their own. It often doesnt happen especially with smaller companies, we have to speak up and then the third thing she did where this is not necessarily a wright rule but its what she did which was to make a threat and for most of us the threat of going public would fall on deaf ears. That wouldnt work so sometimes people say, you know, im going to leave if i dont get this raise. You have to be willing to carry that out. But if you speak up and the answer is no is i should i recognize that this company will never pay me more or is it no not now and can i establish with my employer under what conditions would it take to make more money. Theres different times that you speak up but especially when you enter the workforce because if you start at a lower pay scale than your male counterpart over your career youre going to be so much more behind. That gets to a little bit of what tory was saying about doing your homework. I did a profile on Lilly Ledbetter before the equal pay act was named after her. Part of her issue where she was chronically underpaid was she didnt know. She was afraid to ask. And thats a problem right now. We consider it vulgar or in bad taste right now to talk about salaries unless youre donald trump boasting about what youre worth. For the most part people dont talk about it. So many women are too embarrassed to ask their male colleagues what are you earning thats considered in poor taste . Somehow we have to get around that because unfortunately, weve seen through the companies and male colleagues are using that ignorance of the salary wages around you to our disadvantage. We have to get past this, tory. Absolutely. We think like nice girls dont talk about money. Smart girls do and we have far too many bills and responsibilities and our own selfvalue and worth to not speak up. By the way, the wage gap, women lose on average in this country, 500 billion a year because theyre underpaid. As you said, many of them are the main breadwinners for their families, 40 . Okay, great discussion you two, thanks so much. Lara. Thank you so much. Well turn now to a big phenomenon across tv. Whats old is new again and better than ever. All kinds of the beloved shows from back in the day like full house, macgyver has been rebooted and one of our favorites stands out for gaining new fans who are bingewatching old episodes. The greys anatomy phenomenon. Derek. Derek. Right, meredith. Reporter 12 blockbuster seasons. We can be extraordinary together rather than ordinary apart. Reporter greys anatomy still one of the hottest shows in prime time. I want to be married to you. Has a huge ensemble of characters. Viewers love these characters but also want to see if theyre going to live. If theyre going to die and who they will hook up with. Go do your damn job. Reporter an unusual resurgence for such a long Running Series from the Younger Generation of fans who are binging on more than 200 older episodes on netflix and hulu to catch up on the story lines. More than 200 viewings a month watching just the pilot of greys. So many of them cant wait to see what happens to old favorites on tonights Season Finale. Big questions about the guy meredith is now with and who is getting married. And whos behind that door . Where is she . Oh, thank god. If they dont want to be here th then, they shouldnt reporter the stars weighing in already with us. I just want to take this opportunity to stay thank you to all the fans, its my first season as a regular and its been a tough season for ben. You are in for major surprises. Thanks for having us, gma. First question, joining me now is kate coyne from People Magazine. What do you make of this rebooting, macgyver and full house and this love for, you know, greys anatomy to the point where were going back and watching old episodes . Yeah, i think we have streaming to thank for that. I think its thanks to the netflixs and hulus and on demand services of the world now, theres no excuse for like, well, i wont be able to. Ka up or i wont know what happened. You can go back. You can go back, you can even actually cherry pick if you want to get caught up. Just five or six episodes here or there that you know are pivotal moments and youll be all caught up. Are we caught up in nostalgia where were trying to recreate were they that good the first time around. I dont know if they were that good. Blackish did a tribute to good times. It was hilarious. Good times was a very, very good show. I dont know if it was the greatest show ever but just shows that theres nothing that you cant go back to now. There is nothing at all. Back in those days we only had the three choices of network so we all watched those the three choices and those like that one time slot a week where if you werent in front of your Television Set at 8 00 p. M. On a thursday you werent seeing that episode. You missed it. So lets talk specifically about greys anatomy. This is a show that in past years has been on a bubble and now is the number one drama on thursday nights. Yeah. So what is it about this show. I think one thing that paid off big time for them and it was a huge risk was killing off Patrick Dempseys character. I know a lot of people thought, okay, thats the end of greys anatomy. But what it did instead it sort of rebooted the whole show and one of the did was his character died not as the season iffinale. Still one or two episodes after it so you tuned in to see what happened and you were sucked back in again and now the show has sort of creatively restarted everything. There are new characters on the canvas, new characters in merediths orbit. It could have gone an entirely could have gone a whole other way. Those who thought Patrick Dempsey with his death so dies the show. Absolutely. And in fact, quite the opposite. I think what it showed was that the grey of greys anatomy, meredith grey is the central figure and has been all along. Thats what Shonda Rhimes felt. This is about her journey and shes proved it this past season. Love it. Kate coyne, always great to have you. Check out People Magazine, the new issue on newsstands tomorrow and greys anatomy Season Finale airs tonight at 8 007 00 central and word has it its really good. Outside to rob. Great crowd out here.

Here now with inspirational speaker philanthropist, mother of five and nfl legend Emmitt Smiths better half, welcome my dear friend pat smith out with a brandnew book called Second Chances and, you know, i thought my introduction was good but a special introduction for you. Emmitt smith here. I want to say congratulations to my beautiful wife on her release of her new book Second Chances. There are folks in this book that have experienced heartache and hardship like you and i have. Go out and pick it up. Read it. Share it with others. Congratulations. Its amazing. Yall are about surprises too. As my grandma would say hes a good man. And this book is beautiful. Its so great to see you, pat. Im glad youve put this down. Ive been with you, with your treasure you the way you want to empower people. You start this book talking about your marriage and divorce to actor martin lawrence. Yes. And at the age of 25, leaving on your own with a 9monthold. Yeah, jasmine was 9 months ole and i just knew in that moment it was no longer healthy for any of us, you know, i packed one suitcase, first time didnt know i was leaving to actually divorce, i just thought this is the best thing for the moment. To me marriage was forever, right . Came from a traditional family. Wonderful family. Until my mother passed away my parents were married for 30 year, grandparents, 60 years so when i left that night, it was terrible. I mean i was i felt ashamed. You know about it. I was hurt, i was scared. My family was 3,000 miles away so i really do connect with women who are stuck who are fearful and not sure of where theyre going to go. You can understand that. Absolutely. You share their stories in the book, as well. Yes. You werent looking for as you put it emmitt smith. Oh, no. No, no, no. So how did that come about . Actually you know what i was on vacation after my divorce and friends invited me to go, my Sorority Sisters to go on vacation to get away. Im going to tell you, i believe help. I was seeing a therapist. Good. And i remember candace saying, listen, right now you have a void so dont rush into a relationship, right . Just take it easy. Plus, during this time there was no social media, so it was all tabloids so i had seen, you know, this little girl on tabloids and im like i dont want any more highprofile men. Give me a sweetheart from idaho somewhere, some guy that nobody knows, thats just kind and sweet and then, of course, i meet, you know, emmitt shirt. You didnt give him your number. You took his number. Youre like, thats Something Else you learned about not giving your number out. You took his. Which was hilarious because, you know, my therapist i promised her no numbers. Im not giving anybody my number but had such a great time with him. I said, okay, but ill take yours so he gave me his like pager, you know where pager mobile, home, office. Its wonderful that you talk so honestly about the ups and downs of your marriage and about you needed to do that but i want to get to we did ask people for their questions and one really good question that was asked and it says there is Something Holding me back from my past. Whats the first step to letting go . You know what, youve got to forgive yourself. You have to forgive yourself and you have to forgive whatever that is thats hole you back. Whether its a person, a decision, something that happened to you. Because you know what, there is so much power when you allow something to hold you in that place, but when you can let that go, it actually gives you the power to move forward because god has Amazing Things just waiting for us out there and we missed it because were looking back and think were doing them a favor when were not. Were really hurting ourselves. For me it was like let me get rid of that and the first thing for me was to forgive myself first because im not perfect. To forgive whoever hurt me and then to keep moving and it doesnt just happen every single day until you get to that place. Oh, gosh, i can sit here and talk to you forever and makes me think my sister just recently sent me. She said just because you dont see god a hand dont question his plan. Sometimes you cant see the hand in it but you know just dont question the plan. Yes. Thank you, thank you, thank you, Second Chances. Your treasure you, your foundation and all you are doing. Youre a big inspiration behind it.

Stand by me hbo is about to air a powerful movie called all the way a gripping look at Lyndon Johnson when he passed the Civil Rights Act and stars Bryan Cranston as lbj, Anthony Mackie as Martin Luther king jr. Take a look. Were going to declare a war on poverty. A war on poverty. Thats now, i got all kinds of federal programs in mind on health, education, literacy, job, you name it. Were going to change this country top to bottom. That sounds extraordinary. There you go. And we are joined now by Bryan Cranston and Anthony Mackie. Welcome to both of you. It is such a great movie. Congratulations. Thank you. Thank you. Bryan, you got to play lbj on broadway as well and he is such a rich character. You get the portrait of a man who sort of took everything he learned in a lifetime of politics for this moment. It seemed to be the right man for the right time for the right purpose. And yet he ascended to that office by the most tragic circumstances. And in order to accomplish what he was able to accomplish, the Civil Rights Act of 1964 being the jewel in the crown. He had to go against the people who helped get him there, the dixiecrats of the south and change the dynam forever. He had a lot at risk and he lost a lot. But he did the greater good. Helped to change the country, anthony, i know youve been asked to play Martin Luther king jr. In the past but you didnt do it. What was it about this portrayal . For me this was the first time in a script i saw dr. King portrayed the way i knew him to be. You know, he was a very radical thinker and speaker and i never seen him portrayed as such a great politician. Thats what i was going to key on here because i was truck by that, as well. He has the great scene after the Democratic Convention where he has to convince his people they have to sacrifice a little bit for the greater good, as well. Right, and, you know, dr. King and lbj kind of had this innate ability to play both sides of the feel. They could go into, you know, one side of the aisle then go to the other side and meet in the middle somewhere because they were the great compromisers. And thats something we dont see today in our society, our politics at all. You dont see too much of that at all. Great compromiser not above telling a few lies to get done what he needed to get done. You know, with his first run at office when he was 27 years old he lost because of dubious circumstances in voting and so the next time he ran which was a year later he made sure that wasnt going to happen again. So there was some less than aboveboard behavior, but he justified that because he was going to do some great good. He did and it must have been so much fun to play those characters.
