Successful Super Bowl Ad. But now facing some backlash for what their ceo said about snacks for women. And good morning, america. Hope youre well this tuesday morning. A little controversy coming into the Super Bowl Ads after all. Yeah, it was somebody riding high after that. The Philadelphia Eagles quarterback nick foles, super bowl mvp celebrating his win at the disney parade of all places, of course, he even fist bumped mickey. Kind of a fist bump. Its flu season too so, you know, dont give mickey the flu, nick. Big paw. Quite a ride for him but well start with that wild ride on wall street. Americans closely watching this market after that recordbreaking drop and the closing bell rang on monday the dow jones was down 1175 points. Abcs chief Business CorrespondentRebecca Jarvis starts us off. Markets around the world reacting thats right. Good morning to all of you. Were seeing markets selling off around the globe overnight. This morning, the dow also poised to open lower but its been fluctuating a lot. If you look at this last month, the month of february stocks have wiped out over a trillion dollars in value in the span of a few days. In the last five days the dow down 8 and to put that into real terms if you had invested 1,000 in the market one week ago, today you would have closer to 920. You would have lost about 80 on that bet, michael. Oh, wow, seems like the economy is strong. What set this off . This is whats surprising. Things are improving and the Unemployment Rate is low. Wages, those are climbing at the fastest pace in eight years and thats part of the issue here. That has sparked fear. The improving economy has sparked fear after a decade of rock bottom Interest Rates the Federal Reserve will start hiking rates to prevent inflation and as those go up, loans get more expensive. People in businesses spend less. That can weigh on the overall economy and, remember, lets put this into context here. Stocks have been rising now for the last nine years, almost consistently over those last nine years up 160 . Pretty unusual to see such a dramatic climb for such an extended period of time and many on wall street have been saying at what point is the stock market going to better reflect whats happening in the real economy . If youre in the real economy youve been saying, why is the market up so much . I dont necessarily feel that the market should be up this much. Now were coming back down to that reality moment. As you both know, investors get nervous when they see numbers like this drop but h historically as you say it always corrects itself. When youre thinking about the long term here, the hardest thing to do is often the best, staying the course. Its a lot easier said than done but investing for the long term, starting young, giving yourself and your portfolio the time to recover, this is the thing that works for people over time and i want to put this into context. If you had pulled out at the bottom of the market during the Great Recession you would have lost a lot. If you would have stayed the course within three years you would have had all that back. After the great depression. Yes. Easier said than done sometimes. All right. Thank you both. George. Thank you, guys. Several new developments in the russia investigation and i want to bring in jon karl. The big headline, president s legal team now taking a stand against Robert Mueller advising the president against a wideranging interview with the special counsel. Reporter theres a lot of negotiation going on here. Mueller has made it clear he wants to talk to the president. His legal team is trying to negotiate to have simply a written q a and told the president it would be a bad idea to go into a fullrange interview with the special counsel, a very risky thing and, george, ive got to tell you, i have spoken to some of his outside advisers who say it would be a disas ter but believe ultimately he will not be able to avoid sitting down with the special counsel. Chris christie said he didnt think the president should testify either and were seeing steve bannon not appear before the House Intelligence Committee today. Reporter theres a lot of back and forth. He had been before thecommittee earlier and refused to answer any questions about his interactions with the president in the white house or during the transition. Now bannon is saying hes not going to come unless the terms of the interview can be worked out. But i can tell you this, george, bannon has told others that he knows that although he can play this game with the committee there is no way that he can avoid answering all questions with the special counsel. Executive privilege works with congress. It doesnt work when youre sitting down with the special counsel. Meantime, the controversy over that House Intelligence Committee memo dealing with the wiretapping of carter page continues. The democrats, they have now voted to release the democrats memo as well on the president s desk. Reporter it is. It was a unanimous vote. All the republican, all the democrats voted to release it. Now the president has five days to decide whether or not he wants to block it. Advisers tell me hes inclined to allow it to be released. Well see. Were joined by the man at the center of this memo controversy carter page. Thanks for joining us. You say this republican memo that was released shows the abuse of your civil rights was worse than you imagined. Why . It just there is no basis for it. If you think about our constitution, you know, due process rights, freedom of, you know, First Amendment rights, it was just shredded, the constitution. As you know you cant get a warrant like this unless they can demonstrate probable cause you were working as a Foreign Agent and you actually had been on the fbis radar for working for russia for several years, the target of a russian recruitment effort back in 2013, the fbi interviewed you about that, correct . It was a witness to a case that they were doing, so i was supporting the fbi. You gave documents to someone they charged with espionage. This is sort of spin. I was teaching a course down broadway here at nyu and i told them a couple of things about what i was talking about in my course and i gave them a couple of my notes from or the documents that i gave my students, so in terms of it sounds when you say giving documents to a quote unquote spy it does sound it sounds a lot worse than reality but thats reality. You also wrote just a couple months after that in september 2013 to an Academic Press reported by Time Magazine ive had the privilege to serve as an informal adviser to the staff of the kremlin. You were recruited at one point by a russian agent then you wrote yourself that you were ang informal adviser to the kremlin so that leads people to believe is he working with russia . Well, you know, first of all its the g20 summit was in st. Petersburg that year and were bringing people from around the world so a lot of people were from literally australia, uk these are your words. I served as an informal adviser to the staff of the kremlin. Youre advising the kremlin. There was a lot of people advising we were part of an informal group, you know, and meeting in geneva, paris and the new york stock exchange. The first meeting was in the new york stock exchange. You can understand how that would raise questions and lead to probable cause on the one hand. You say youre an adviser on the one hand then an adviser to donald trump. The probable cause based on all the evidence that keeps dripping out and now has been further substance yachted with the friday first memo is it was based on that dodgy dossier which was, you know, a political stunt which is unfortunate, which is false evidence, so if you talk about obstruction of justice, thats real the democrats have said it was not based just on that dossier but said there were other reasons and this was an application that was renewed at least three times by people who worked for President Trump as well by judges appointed by republican president s. Well, itll be interesting. I appreciate the New York Times putting in their request for the they want all the underlying documents. I hope they get it. What do you think that will show . I have no idea. What i have seen thus far is complete ridiculousness. The fact that the dossier and news report, the New York Times pitched this information by mr. Steele and they said, you know, no way. But youve been under surveillance from the court since 2016. Since that time have you ever spoken to donald trump . I never spoke with him since i never spoke with him any time in my life. You have never spoken to donald trump in your life. No. No email, no text, nothing like that. Never. Carter page, thanks very much. Thanks, george. Over to michael. Thank you, george. Now to that winter blast leading to massive pileups killing at least 13 people. A dancing with the stars tour bus in one of those. Thankfully no one seriously injured but now a new storm is moving in. Alex perez is in chicago with more. Good morning, alex. Reporter hey, good morning, michael. Complicating things underneath all of this fresh snow in many areas theres a dangerous layer of ice and once this snow started falling it kept coming creating some massive problems. This morning, the deadly blast of Winter Weather being blamed for 13 deaths across the midwest, snow, ice and whipping winds leading to a string of crashes along highways like i35 in iowa.

A new storm is forming in the south targeting the northeast. Ginger. Weve got advisories and watchings from sherman, texas to r rumford, maine. It started in parts of the rockies and now it will bring ice from Northern Arkansas right through, say, paducah, kentucky and the timing is today through tomorrow morning then the low is right here. It could be a very messy start from washington, d. C. Right through new york city, guys, its not just the snow, in some places 6 to 12 inches but ice on top of it in some areas you could see up to a half inch. Thank you, ginger. Always the ice. The ice is the one thing you kind of misjudge sometimes as a driver. The nationwide flu epidemic. One of the deadliest in years and it will get worse before it gets better. One School District hit hard, at least 50 School Bus Drivers are recovering from the flu and abcs Adrienne Bankert is here with the latest. Good morning, adrienne. Reporter good morning. The harsh reality is that schools all over the country arent just having their campuses disinfected but after some Young Children and in a recent case a teacher died, theyll have grief counselors on hand to comfort students and staff. This morning, Heather Hollands family in shock. The beloved second grade teacher dead after complications from the flu. Everybody talked highly of her.

Reporter his organs shut down, blood clots forced doctors to perform multiple amputations. 7yearold Savannah Jesse died suddenly after testing positive for the flu one day after being rushed to the hospital. Everybody is devastated. Youve never expected it to happen to you. Reporter in new york city two confirmed dead from flurelated illness, one 8yearold emily baez who lived in queens. Nearly 15,000 have been hospitalized for flurelated illnesses, double the number of last season. The highest ever seen. According to the cdc, at least 53 children have died from the flu across the u. S. Doctors say the best defense is still a flu shot. So even if you already have the flu, but didnt get vaccinated, the cdc recommends you get a flu shot once youre better since you could still come down with a different strain of the flu. I know, they keep emphasizing its not too late to get the shot. Okay, adrienne. We move on to newly released 911 calls from that train crash in south carolina. It reveals the chaos on board as the train barreled onto the wrong track and Abcs Steve Osunsami has the latest. Everything is everywhere. We wrecked on a train. Reporter these were the calls from the train for someone to come help and to come fast. Theres babies on here bleeding out their heads. Its a lot of people are hurt. Reporter its just moments after an amtrak train on its way to miami crashed head on into a Freight Train sitting on the tracks in south carolina. Investigators say the train engineer realized the rail switch was set wrong sending his train to the track where the Freight Train was parked but by the time he put on the brakes it was already too late. That switch should have been lined so that that amtrak could have continued southbound as planned. Reporter amtrak says that csx was controlling the switches on that track manually and that late saturday or early sunday after they moved one of their Freight Trains from the main line, the switch was not flipped back. When amtrak 91 arrived, it too was shifted onto that same sidetrack and in less than 700 feet slammed into the parked Freight Train at more than 50 miles an hour. How many are injured . I cannot count right now. I cannot walk through because the car is bent. The seats came up off the floor, glass came out all over the train. Just bodies laying everywhere on top of one another. Reporter the trains are running normally and directly behind me two people were killed and more than 100 hurt. Were told that switch was locked with a padlock. George. Oh, my goodness.

The dow posting its largest onepoint drop ever. The dow is still up 21 compared to a year ago and the midwest cleaning up from those deadly storms sparked multiple pileups including this one in iowa that involved a dancing with the stars tour bus. Thankfully they only suffered minor injuries. Youre right george. That claim at the center of a 15yearold battle between uma thurman and director Quentin Tarantino. Thurman saying this crash left her permanently damaged. Now tarantino is responding. Abcs linzie janis is here and has that story. Good morning. Reporter good morning. Uma thurman spoke to the New York Times about the misogynistic culture she endured during her years working for Harvey Weinstein and director Quentin Tarantino. She told the paper weinstein sexually assaulted her but in a separate claim she says tarantino coerced her into driving that car that she believed to be faulty. Quentin tarantino is speaking out for the first time about uma thurmans claim that when she was starring in kill bill tarantino insisted she drive this blue convertible instead of a stunt person even though she says she told him she thought the car was broken. Thurman says it left her neck permanently damaged calling the experience dehumanizing to the point of death. Tarantino tells Deadline Hollywood the decision to put his star behind the wheel was heartbreaking, beyond one of the biggest regrets of my career. It is one of the biggest regrets of my live. Check out this split screen. The final film cut on the left, the raw material on the right. Watch as thurman appears to struggle losing control of the car, crashing off the side of the road. Immediately clutching her head. The crew including tarantino rushing to the scene. Route ahead of time and thought it was just a straight shot. I was very happy thinking she can totally do this. It wont be a problem. Umas response was, okay, because she believed me. Because she trusted me. He says i didnt force her into the car. She got into it because she trusted me. Thurman opened up to the New York Timescolumnist maureen dowd about the toxic environment she experienced as a woman in hollywood especially in the miramax universe where director Quentin Tarantino and Harvey Weinstein reigned supreme. He tried to force himself on her in london. He pushed me down. He tried to shove himself on me. He tried to expose himself. She says she later met with weinstein to confront him telling him if you do what you did to me to other people, you will lose your career. Weinstein admits to making an awkward pass at thurman once but denies he ever assaulted her. Tarantino says he became aware of weinsteins predatory behavior after his girlfriend at the time, mira sorvino, experienced it firsthand. Shortly after sorvino confided in him, thurman told Tarantino Weinstein also attacked her. While we were getting ready to do kill bill uma tells me he had done the same thing to her. Thats when i realized there was a pattern in harveys luring and pushing attacks. Tarantino said he demanded that weinstein apologize to thurman or he wouldnt shoot kill bill. He also says for some reason now he feels that was wrong but back in 1999 he said it was easier to chalk it up to this mid 60s qu mad men era. He says its hard to imagine why that was ever okay. The 90s arent the 60s. To that string missing persons case connected to the bachelor. A mother reported her daughter missing and found out she was taping a show. Some way to hide. In plain sight. Her mom thought she was m. I. A. But she was trying to get her mrs. Get it . During several of those weeks one of the contestants managed to also appear on the humboldt county california missing persons list. Shes a frontrunner on this season of the bachelor. Seemingly winning over bachelor aries heart week after week. Im so excited. So why has becca m. , full name Rebekah Martinez been on this missing persons list . The mystery started back in september. Martinez posted this cryptic message on instagram. Im giving up my phone and social media for the next several weeks. So if you need to contact me, well, tough luck. One month later, the 22yearolds mom filed a missing persons report telling police she hadnt been able to contact her daughter for a week. Police say they tried to reach her daughter for her but were n unsuccessful. Officials say in december they learned martinezs mom had connected with her daughter but officers till could not make direct contact with her to confirm her whereabouts, that is until a tip came in from an unlikely source of bachelor nation superfan turned super sleuth. I just googled the bachelor contestants 2018 and i found that online then when i got to her picture and it was the same name, then i was 100 sure. Reporter martinez reacting on social media friday, mom, how many types do i have to tell you i dont get cell service on the bachelor . Posting in photoshop picture of herself on a milk carton. Becca has been a frontrunner since the season began. She came in and she had this amazing short haircut that really made her stand out from all the other girls. Reporter beccas race car romeo spoke out about it on monday. The pka for that is call your parents. Right, exactly. I think he summed that up best with this is why, folk, you got to call your parents so you dont end up on a missing persons list. Some are speculating shes the winner and thats why she had to go so underground. Did i see that correctly in your piece, if her mom would have just googled her daughters name she would have seen her come up on the bachelor. A little lack of communication there.

One of the best ways to protect yourself, clean your hands. So what works best . Washing them or using Hand Sanitizer . Abcs gio benitez is here with a closer look. What you got . Reporter hey, good morning. You know it, most flu is spread in the air. The part thats easier to control getting flu off a surface and this morning we ask, whats the best way to get the flu off you . This morning, with the worst flu on record in at least a decade and 53 child deaths across the country experts are zeroing in on simple hygiene, saying it can help curb the spread of the virus. So, frequent hand washing, so not just kidding wash your hands before dinner, but wash your hands pretty frequently during the day. Reporter hand washing and Hand Sanitizer, both ways to fight flu. Lets show you how well they work. In a lab we coated some volunteers hands with a liquid containing germs then pressed their hands to petri dishes and put the dishes in an incubator to watch what grows from germy hands. Then we tested two different sanitizers, one with 60 alcohol and one labeled natural containing no alcohol. The results dramatic. Just look at this. The alcoholbased sanitizer showed far fewer germ colonies than the samples taken without any cleaning at all. The formula without alcohol, just look at how many germs are left behind compared to no sanitizer at all. But doctors say if you can get to a sink, washing with soap is tried and true. But you have to do it correctly. When we tested a fivesecond wash just look at those germs it didnt remove. You have to wash for a full 20 seconds to really get the bugs off. And when it comes to Hand Sanitizers, experts say alcoholbased products work much better because the alcohol kills offer the bacteria and viruses but if youre using enough sanitizer it should take about 15 seconds for your hands to dry. Wow. All right. Very simple. Well bring in dr. Jennifer ashton and, dr. Jen, we think we know how to wash our hands but how do we properly wash our hands. Technique really matters. Thats the thing is that people often dont do it correctly so number one you have to use warm or hot water. Thats really important. You have to use a lot of soap. You have to really use good friction because that destroys the bacteria and the viruses and as weve heard sing happy birthday twice so 15 to 20 seconds, the key is drying well. Now, follow me on this one, when you wash your hands and you touch the faucet, your hands may be clean but then they are contaminated so we use this harmless powder glogerm and i want you to see under a black light our producer touched these surfaces, all of that that has that is lighting up are georges. If you are in the bathroom with me, which i know youre not, youll see well, not on purpose. Youll see that i take literally tissues and i touch the door handle on my way out with tissues and do this on airplanes and doorknobs you do that on the faucet. Absolutely. I do not touch that faucet with my hands and you know what, fun fact, in the operating room in the hospital setting when we do surgery our first scrub of the day is with soap and water, the oldfashioned way. After that its all Hand Sanitizer and then we air dry, drying is just as important as washing. This is year round, not just flu season. Correct. Just for germs in general. All germs. All right. Thank you, doc. You bet. Coming up that clash over the doritos crunch. Got to wash your hands after you eat some doritos. The firestorm over what the companys ceo said about the way women snack.

The company celebrating a successful Super Bowl Campaign but under fire about comments their ceo made about the way women snack and diane macedo is here. All right, explain. All right, so shes one of the most powerful women in the world and yet advocates for female empowerment are bashing pepsis ceo. She said the companys developing a dorito for women thats less messy and less loud and critics are using ladydoritoss to show they dont want to be silent. Doritos is riding off the wall that winning Super Bowl Ad starring peter dinklage. I got to win every day day reporter but theyre facing backlash online after the head of its Parent Company said that women eat doritos differently than men. They dont like to crunch too loudly in public and, you know, they dont like their fingers generously and they dont like to pour the little broken pieces and the flavor into their mouth. Reporter during a freakonomics podcast, indra nooyi was asked about developing products geared towards women. Its not a male and female as much as other snacks for women that can be designed and packaged differently and, yes, we are looking at it and were getting ready to launch a bunch of them soon and how can you put it in your purse because women love to carry a snack in their purse. Reporter the phrase lady doritos is trending. Right now especially for a brand to attempt to create a product for women where for a pod thats typically gender neutral is difficult. Reporter overnight the brand tweeted we already have doritos for women, theyre called doritos and theyre loved by millions. Theyre good. Pepsi told us overnight the reporting on a specific doritos pod for female consumers is inaccurate and at the same time we know needs and preferences continue to evolve. Cant they make a more quiet bag . That might be put in the suggestion box. Youre eating the breakfast of champions here. Were apparently the two women very unladylike. The campaign is working. [ laughter ] lady doritos are not a real thing. Its not a real thing. Made up by the critics. George, youre in trouble after that. You really are. Maybe it should be a real thing. Oh, boy. We have a gma health alert coming up. New warning about burning hot tea and coffee. The day after chemo might mean a trip back to the Doctors Office, just for a shot.

Neulasta is for certain Cancer Patients receiving strong chemotherapy. Do not take neulasta if youre allergic to neulasta or Neupogen Filgrastim .

Dr. Jen will break it down for you. Secret facebook. Our special series you dont want to miss. The interviews that made our own producer tear up just putting together the story talking oneonone with black fathers, finding support and a safe haven as they raise their children. The right stuff. Here they are, the oscar nominees all together for the first time, our cameras were there for oneonone interviews and the hilarious moment that meryl couldnt stop giggling. One month till oscar and look who is saying good morning, america. I guess those were cheetos. Good morning, america. Great to have you here. You had the right stuff. You cant do it now .

As you probably know, it is black History Month and we have a very special guest joining us, want to see mini Michelle Obama dressing as her hero caught the attention of the former first lady and cant wait to talk to her about it. First that huge stock market selloff. The dow plugging more than a thousand points, Rebecca Jarvis is back with us and, rebecca, it was the biggest points drop ever but not the biggest by percentage. A big difference in that. Could you break it down for us. Yes, absolutely. Good morning. So the biggest point drop ever, 1,175 points in a day. That translates to a 4. 6 decline. Significant, but not compared to the worst day ever for stocks, that was 1987 when the market plunged 22 in just one day. Were not there yet, michael, but we have come a long way over these last nine years stocks are up more than 160 and so a lot of folks on wall street are saying this pullback was imminent. It was going to happen at some point because you dont just go up. At some point you have to the last two days have taken a hit to the nest egg. What about in the long term . Thats what people have to think about, the long term. When you think about that 401 k , what youre stashing away, over the last couple of days its taken a bit of a hit but if you look at the last five year, if you had a thousand dollars in your 401 k five years ago, by today youd have basically doubled that money. Your 401 k would be around 2,000, the market is still up over time, michael. Thank you, rebecca. Great advice. Be patient. Yes. Thank you. We go to the white house. New twist in the russia investigation. President trump has said many times that he wants to testify to special counsel Robert Mueller. Now his lawyers are advising against it and want to bring in jon karl for more on that. Good morning, jon. Reporter good morning, george. Special counsel mueller wants to interview the president. The president s lawyers are advising their client that an in person interview would be a bad idea and should be avoided. They are trying to negotiate instead for a written q a and im not so sure it would fly with the president himself. He has told me twice that he is willing to be interviewed by mueller. The first was an emphatic 100 answer, yes, he would back in june and then just two weeks ago i asked him about it again. I would do it under oath. I would do it im looking forward to it actually. Reporter there is clearly some negotiating going on here. If he is ultimately to sit down for an interview, his lawyers want it to be very limited in scope, right now, though, theyre negotiating and they do to the want an inperson interview. Its a little hard to know what leverage they would have if mueller really wants the interview. Thanks very much. I love this next story, it combines two of my favorites, the saints and be the match. New orleans rookie austin carr was in college at northwestern when he made the decision to become a bone marrow donor, just swabbing of the cheek and got the call to donate from be the match when he was a junior and he was so even though he would miss precious time on the field he knew it was the right thing to do. The reason were showing you this, he didnt make it to the super bowl but you know who he met there, his recipient. Scored a big win. Got to meet the man whose life he saved. 59yearold roy coe. He suffered from nonhodgkins lymphoma but is now cancerfree. I get chills because on College Campuses they do have in fact, at my alma mater at southeastern they did a swabbing for robin. You just swab the inside of the cheek and College Students for some reason are the sweet spot. They end up being the donor so many times. Good that he followed through on be the match. Better than to take time off from the field to do that. Paid off. Great to see. Coming up turning a super bowl loss into a teachable moment. How gisele is helping her kids cope with their dads defeat. Important tips for every parent. We go inside the secret facebook book supporting black fathers changing perceptions and, lara, what is going on upstairs . Well, michael, good morning. We cannot wait to meet the third grader you just talked about who got an a plus from Michelle Obama dressing up like her for a special School Project with us live on Good Morning America. Dont go anywhere. No, please, please, oh shrieks in terror heavy breathing and snorting no, no. The running of the bulldogs . Surprising. Whats not surprising . How much money aleia saved by switching to geico. Fifteen minutes could save you fifteen percent or more. Im and im an emt. Erer when i get a migraine at work, its debilitating. If i call out with a migraine, thats one less ambulance to serve a community. I just dont want to let these people down. Excedrin migraine. Relief that works as hard as you do. Oats seem pretty simple, right . Theyre actually kind of extraordinary. See, oats contain a soluble fiber called betaglucan. Betawhat . Stay with me here. This is where it gets interesting. This fiber really doesnt like cholesterol. So, it traps some of the bad cholesterol and shows it a thing or two. Making quaker oats a delicious part of a hearthealthy diet. Highfive, fiber. And i recently had hi, ia heart attack. It changed my life. But im a survivor. After my heart attack, my doctor prescribed brilinta. Its for people who have been hospitalized for a heart attack. Brilinta is taken with a lowdose aspirin. No more than 100 milligrams as it affects how well brilinta works. Brilinta helps keep platelets from sticking together and forming a clot. In a clinical study, brilinta worked better than plavix. Brilinta reduced the chance of having another heart attack. Or dying from one. Dont stop taking brilinta without talking to your doctor, since stopping it too soon increases your risk of clots in your stent, heart attack, stroke, and even death. Brilinta may cause bruising or bleeding more easily, or serious, sometimes fatal bleeding. Dont take brilinta if you have bleeding, like stomach ulcers, a history of bleeding in the brain, or severe liver problems. Slow heart rhythm has been reported. Tell your doctor about bleeding new or unexpected shortness of breath any planned surgery, and all medicines you take. If you recently had a heart attack, ask your doctor if brilinta is right for you. My heart is worth brilinta. If you cant afford your medication, astrazeneca may be able to help.

He was only 52 when he was cast as their father back in 1993 passed away sunday after a battle with cancer. Five years ago mahoney was on Good Morning America and said frasier was the role of his lifetime. The emmy nominated actor was 77 years old. You know the dog that he had on the show, eddie, thats why i had my k. J. Because i loved eddie in the character and had him for 17, 18 years. Wonderful series. There was a wonderful tribute to him this morning that said he was sort of the unsung hero, the glue of that show. His timing, comedic typing. Wasnt he the dad in say anything. I believe he was. One of the greats. Well, he will be missed. Yes, he will. Also in pop news this morning, ryan murphy and his partners are at it again working on a new comedy for netflix.

Thanks for that. Our cover story is Gisele Bundchen trying to turn the super bowl loss for her husband tom brady into a lesson for their children and will talk about good sportsmanship. Adrienne bankert with that. You know what, the eagles win meant a lot of disappointed patriots fans. Mom gisele made it a moment to teach her kids about winning and losing. And time runs out. Reporter 4133. A painful loss to the eagles becomes a lesson in being a good sport for none other than tom bradys family. I mean losing sucks but thats part of you. You show up and you try to win and sometimes you lose. Thats the reporter it wasnt just tom who was upset. Two of his three children seen crying after the game according to usa today reporter josh peter. The wife gisele posted video of daughter vivian dancing after the final score, the 5yearold was inconsolable. At one point daughter vivian blurted out the eagles won the super bowl. Reporter gisele wiping away her daughters tears. Gisele said the eagles have wouldnt in a million years. Reporter mom comforts her children with stats. Her husbands multiple championships compared to the eagles first ever super bowl title. And she said, this is their first super bowl and daddy has won five super bowls. So, maybe she thought that would take some of the sting out of it for the kids. Reporter gisele a role model for good sportsmanship by posting her congrats to the team on instagram. Experts at the mayo clinic say by age 13 if kids feel their performance doesnt neat their Parents Expectations theyll want to quit. If Young Children are taught that supports are all about winning, it could cause them to give up. Losing teaches some very valuable lessons and builds character and can sometimes make them work very hard and it gives them a goal to shoot for. Reporter in bradys latest project tom vs. Time, the mvp shares his pressure to compete. I know that that box was full of all the people that loved and supported me an i always want to go out and do the best i can do for them. The expert we spoke to said there are four basic ways to teach good sportsmanship, model the Good Behavior you want your child to exhibit and encourage a positive attitude while playing a game whether sports or any time of game and correct bad behavior right away. Taking advantage of that teachable moment, all right, adrienne, thank you. Now a gma health alert. Could your hot cup of coffee or tea be linked to cancer . A new study may make you pause before you take that first sip. Dr. Jen is back, so tell us about this study. This was a very large study that appeared in the annals of internal medicine done in china and followed people for ten years and found people who drank at least one hot cup of tea a day, if they drank and smoked as well had a huge increase in their risk of Esophageal Cancer. Heres the caveats. Number one the study was done on association, not causation. Thats the first thing. And i think its also important to remember that hot is different to different people. They did not measure the exact temperature. They didnt put a thermometer if a cup of hot tea. What is about the temperature. This has been controversial in the world of oncology tofor awhile, thermal injury. Something thats very hot, whether its from a burn or whether its from a beverage can potentially damage a cells dna but have to remember when youre talking about Esophageal Cancer there are other known risk factors, high alcohol consumption, smoking, obesity, reflux or heartburn, those are all known risk factors. This right now is just association. So how hot is the average morning drink. Listen, this is where common sense prevails. If it is so hot you cant touch the cup you probably shouldnt be putting that cup to your lips. If you take a sip and it burns your tongue let it cool off and the temperature here that has been associated with a possible increased risk is 149 degrees fahrenheit. Most of us and you know i love my coffee are drinking beverages way below that. Yes. So dont worry. I love the expression, 149 . If you put your hand on this cup, its hot. It is hot. All right, so if its so hot you cant pick it up then you shouldnt be drinking it. Common sense. All right, as always, jen, thanks. How is it going with the water . I am hydrated like you cant imagine. I know. How are you doing . Yeah. The side effect of drinking yeah, i know what you mean. But i feel better. I feel better. I can already see the effect. Getting lots of great commits on social media. Thank you very much. By the way, caffeine dehydrates you. Iced coffee it is for me today. How about we do your gma moment and this one there are enough dogs that dont know how to sled but dozer the dog not only sleds but then retrieves the sled. And brings it back up the hill. How great is that so dozer is from north carolina. I love it. Such a little meatball. So, enjoy as you get more snow and ice around the country we will be talking about that but for now lets get a check a little closer to home. That is good. Reminds me of me when i was a kid. Little puff of snow in eastern berks county. Most is off to the north and the poconos a little bit more down south. These are just flurries for the most part. Heading outside it is cold out there with temperatures in the 20s right now. And upper 20s with wind chills in the low 20s, not that bad. Winds are fairly light. Your exclusive accuweather 7day clouds may give way to a little bit of sun milder with less wind today high of 40. Tomorrow morning a wintry mix for some of us before a changeover to rain. You inside secret groups on facebook. More than a billion people use these groups every month, offering communities of support. This morning were taking a closer look at one for black fathers and paula faris is here with that. Good morning. Good morning again to you. These black fathers are from all over the world from the United States to japan, israel and egypt connecting to discuss the challenges of being a black father today as well as the unfortunate misconceptions. Im a black father. I am a black father . I am a black father. Reporter its a community built of thousands of proud fathers. I have three children. I have one daughter. Reporter connecting through the experience of fatherhood and facebook. When i joined the group and got into the conversations, i found that i wasnt alone. Reporter this private group is called black fathers and its bringing them together to share their unique journeys. But its also a safe haven for a population of dads who feel theyre battling negative perceptions of black fathers. There are so many things that are said societally about men, black men in particular, selfish or just immature and i dont find that to be the case. It is thought we were not in our childrens live. When i go out with my kids its like people are staring in amazement like im some kind of union. Its important to work to change peoples perceptions. Reporter matt started this group in 2009. Newly divorced and raising his sons as a single dad, he needed support and had no one to turn to. I felt isolated as a father but really wanted to create something that was as i like to say the brotherhood of fatherhood. Reporter nine years and 30,000 members later black fathers has become an agent of change offering workshops and providing legal advice for members pursuing custody or visitation rights in family court. Ill never forget it. It was over almost 400 comments on the post. And it was the most support i ever received on facebook. Reporter gary scott reached out to the group after a bitter custody battle left him discouraged and broken. I reached out to black fathers and i told them that it wasnt a good day for me. And the level of support i got from those guys, i thank every one of you brothers. The friendships that i have developed, its been a godsend. Reporter one of those friendships came from fellow member angelo sims who reached out after reading his post. He sent me his phone number. I gave him a call and, man, we talked for like an hour. What we see in groups like black fathers is the truth of what black fathers are which is loving, caring fathers for their communities. A lot of types its said that we dont support each other as black men. But this is false. For me black fathers has been a friend. Just seeing like other peoples issues and that are similar to mine. A love being a black father. Its the only father i can be. Those fathers are extraordinary and talking about literally everything. That dreaded encounter of meeting your daughters significant other for the first time. Uhhuh. That happens. Taking your sons to college but theyre also working on connecting in person. Theyre hosting an annual daddy daughter tea party, pinkies up which youve done. Ive done the daddy daughter dance. This is great. This is a positive part of social media. Love it. Thank you so much, paula. We appreciate you bringing this to us. Now we go to clinical psychologist dr. Jeff gardere, doc, how are you. Good to see you. Good to see you, michael. And we just saw in that piece these fathers opening up about things they face every single day but what do you think is the most important thing for them to know. Well, that they have a community that they can talk to other people who share a lot of their concerns and some of those concerns have to do with the inequities that black children still regrettably still face, were talking about underfunded public schools, we are tea talking about possible conflicts with police officers. Were talking about historical Unemployment Rates, so those challenges are still there and those are real fears that these dads have. They want their kids to be able to be the best that they can possibly be despite these sorts of adversities. I think we saw in that piece a sense of what these group, these Facebook Groups can do, how they help. The important thing is theyre helping them fight that stereotype, that black fathers are not in the home, the cdc shows since 2013 we have 2. 5 million black fathers in the home versus 1. 7 who are not so there are more black fathers in the home, many more concerned and so with this group they get the support that says atta, boy, youre doing it. Pretty shocking to see. People are surprised im in my kids life and thats hard to hear. Dads need support. All dads do but these black dads need the support because they keep getting that negative noise all the time about youre not there. Youre not raising your kids. Black fathers are there and they are raising their kids as i am, as you are as black fathers. Very well said. And what can these fathers what can these fathers teach their kids aboutover coming adversity. Well, i think the important thing is to not become jaded by it. Take that pain and turn it into power. Have a positive selfconcept. Have a positive attitude about life. But most importantly keep that selfesteem, that selfworth because you are going to face these challenges every day as a black child. Yes, you are. [ applause ] now, outside of this Facebook Group what other resources would you suggest for fathers like this. Well, theres a group i belong to called fathers incorporated. Im on the board there and we work with our black children. We read to them. We talk to them about their selfesteem. We get them involved in educational activities and, you know, president obama said one thing, that all children should go to college. I would say all children should go to college but all children should also get some training to be certified to be the best they can be. Youre right. Dr. Gardere, thanks. Good morning, 8 27 on this tuesday february 6th. Karen rogers when you dont mention traffic jams does that mean they dont happen at all . Its nothing extraordinary if i dont mention it. Thank you for that clarification, matt. Looking outside live on the schuylkill expressway and weve got a disabled pickup truck from this point you can just see the police with the flashing lights here. This is on the schuylkill at vare avenue westbound as you head towards south street the left lane is blocked here with that that disabled pickup truck. So, pretty jammed here approaching passyunk to approaching vare. On the northeast extension, weve got problems here. Southbound approaching the east west turnpike an accident moved to the shoulder. Also on the turnpike westbound approaching Fort Washington an accident there as well. Weve been talking about the problem in juniata and chopper6 was over scene showing us this multivehicle accident. Were hearing a serious injury. This is g street at luzerne. Expect delays. We had ambulance, fire emergency workers everybody on the scene here. Take whitaker or i and hunting park to get around that one. Its been busy today with accidents. It has, thank you, karen. Its also been kind of chilly out there. Lets go to meteorologist, david murphy. David. Cloudy and chilly this morning absolutely matt. Take a look at storm tracker6 live double scan. A couple light snow showers popping up north and west of philadelphia. A little bit now blossoming down by dover, delaware and crossing the delaware bay. Thats pretty much just nuisance light snow. And flurries. 29 degrees right now in philadelphia. Not as much wind as yesterday so were not really having to bother with a big deal wind chill. This afternoon, though, a high of 40 degrees, a little bit better maybe some sunny breaks. Tomorrow morning, look out, an accuweather alert for a morning wintry mix for parts of the region before a changeover to rain, a high of 42 and it looks sunny brisk and on the cold side for that eagles parade thursday, matt. Thank you david. Philadelphia public and archdiocesan schools will be closed on thursday for that eagles super bowl parade. More details coming up this morning. Welcome back to gma and we have a wonderful audience here on this tuesday morning. We do. Thank you, guys. Waking up early and joining us. Ill need a little audience participant on this one. We have some trending topics from our newsfeed this morning and ill bring you the first one with a question. Is it okay to go up and talk to someone at the gym . Hmm. Yeah, this was it. A new article from gq said its fine as long as you follow the Cardinal Rule you dont interrupt someones workout. How do you go up to somebody in the gym and not interrupt their workout . I dont know, george. Thats a very good question that im not equipped to answer. Very good question so well do a little quick lightning round with our audience. Everyone has a red flag and green flag. Ill bring up some situations. If you think its okay, you raise your green flag. If you think its off limits you raise your red flag. You guys ready . All yeah lets go. Is it okay to start up a conversation at the gym . Yes or no . Yes. Its kind of like a mixed bag here. A lot of people are in the gym. Im here to work out. I dont want to talk to you.

Thank you for your participation, by the way, im sorry, robin. Thanks, you guys. [ applause ] it is black History Month and we cant wait to talk to this inspiring little girl. Third grader. Alexandra dow decided to dress up like one of her her rows, Michelle Obama. Yeah. [ applause ] her project got the attention of the former first lady who tweeted, this just made my day. I may not be a third grade teacher but this gets an a plus in my book. No bias there. No pressure. We also think its an a plus so alexandra and her mom audrey are with us live from california. Got up early. Good morning. Good morning. Wonderful to see you. Thanks for getting up early before school. Why did you want to do this project on Michelle Obama . I picked Michelle Obama because shes very smart and kind. And she always wants kids to stay healthy. Yeah. [ applause ] and shes got strong airports like alexandra. I know. Shes got that too. And, audrey, how surprised were you when the first lady tweeted about your daughter . We were pretty excited. We definitely did not think that the first lady sees all of the tweets that she gets but the fact that she saw it and she took the time to reply and give alexandra an a plus was super exciting for us. Fantastic. Yeah. So [ applause ] what is it that you think makes her such a good role model, alexandra . I think that shes a good role model because she always wanted kids to learn and to stay smart and to stand up for kids when you see them being a bully. Oh, yeah. [ applause ] audrey, all those parents know its important for our daughters to have powerful women as role models. Audrey. Sorry. You know, all of us parents know its important to have powerful women as role models for our daughters. [ applause ] absolutely. We were so i was so excited that alexandra chose Michelle Obama as her role model for the project because it is important for our daughters to see people that look like them on a National Stage promoting such good, positive messages, the fact that the former first lady was an attorney, an accomplished University Administrator well before she became first lady is just the type of people that we want our girls to emulate so i couldnt be prouder of alexandra for choosing michelle. Alexandra, can you read [ applause ] can you read a little bit of your speech . Just a little bit of the speech you wrote. My two favorite parts of the speech, the first i have two favorite parts of the speech. My first my first favorite part is when it says our motto is when they go low, we go high. [ applause ] i think thats a good place for us to end, alexandra. You did get an a plus because mrs. Obama said you got an a plus. Did you get an a plus . I hope so. I hope she did. I hope she got an a plus. All right. I think so. She did. All right so lets move on to our oscar countdown. The biggest names in hollywood gathering for the annual nominees luncheon at the Beverly Hilton monday and our Chris Connelly joins us now from l. A. With all the highlights. Good morning, chris. Reporter good morning, lara. The oscar luncheon is always a fun stressfree afternoon for the nominee, a chance to share a meal, swap stories and with a little nudging to reflect on their journeys. Yesterdays 2018 oscar luncheon giving this years nominees a first chance to connect with one another. Aaron sorkin and Octavia Spencer and we had a great moment, look at us. I got to stand next to meryl streep for the photograph. It was just marvelous. Well, i never in a million years thought that i would be at that luncheon. Lady bird, is that your given name. Yeah. Being nominated for so many like lady birds writer director greta gerwig, a moment sweetly imagined since childhood. A friend of mine sent a picture of me at 15 at my oscar party. I would be lying if i said this didnt mean a great deal to me. This is what you dream about but even when you dream about it its like in your 40s or later, not now. This kind of recognition goes bigger than me, it goes bigger than us. When i was looking at everyone it was like, wow, and i just go how i dont know how we got here. You just come back. I will. Reporter new dreams sparked by mudbound cinematographer Rachel Morrison and by writer director, dee rees. Im the first black woman to be nominated for a screenplay, cause for reflection and celebration. Why did it take 90 years to get here . The lifelong dream is amazing for someone used to being behind the camera out of the spotlight this is a bit of a doozy but im coming around. The thing we keep in there is in the front. Reporter the shape of waters director Guillermo Del Toro explained the connection. I see myself in the creature. A creature that is out of the water. Thats the beauty of the movie about a bunch of Lonely People coming together. Theres nothing accidental in this movie. I think closest ill ever come to being in a 40s hollywood classic. Reporter amid all the mingling some attendees didnt get to eat much so gma supplied one nominee with her favorite onset snack. I ate it five times a day on the set. Cheetos are my favorite thing in the world. I dont know what theyre made of. Well never know. Well never know. Thats the only challenge of the luncheon i guess. There are so many people for the nominees to talk with, i guess you can forget to eat. This is not a problem i normally have, guys. [ laughter ] as always, thanks, chris. We have the secret weapon that has changed so many lives and dont want you to miss that somebody that george and i know very well. Come on back. Youll see. How are you becoming like that . A surprise. A Celebrity Fit Club reunion. They welcome back to Good Morning America am i thought id seen every type of cloud but my little sister temporarily lives in northern iceland and she caught these. Theyre called polar stratospheric clouds. They have a whole bunch of science behind. Please check it out on my social life where i put all the details. Lets get a check a little closer to home. Ginger a couple of light nuisance snow showers one around this morning, one near dover crossing the delaware bay. Another looks like it will probably miss our areas to the north and west. Your exclusive accuweather 7day a little bit might today, 40. 42 tomorrow with our morning wintry mix. Re here with bob rot meditation teacher to the stars. Hes worked with katy perry, michael j. Fox, jersey seinfeld and hugh jackman just to name a few. The two of you. You do know your audience. You really got me excited. This was the greatest gift you gave me, george, when you introduced me to this man who has a new book, strength in stillness. Please welcome bob roth. [ applause ] i mean that. I really do. You gave me a gift. I know, there was a time that something was really crazy going on in the studio and i was losing it and look at george. He was so calm and i said i want some of that and he said, its you. And talk about meditation and how the analogy to an ocean. Well, first of all its not me, its the technique. The technique is what works but i appreciate that. I like to use when i describe transcendental meditation, i like to use the analogy of an ocean. We know an ocean can be very turbulent on the surface but by its nature an ocean is very silent and calm at its depth and the mind is the same. The surface of our mind is that active gotta, gotta monkey mind, all the millions of things we have to do and every one of us has a desire to have some inner calm. We like to have upper equanimity, equilibrium. Is there such a thing as an inner and if so how did we get there and transcendental meditation is a simple, natural technique that gives effortless access to the stillness that lies within. You keep using the word technique. It captures your voice and the way you approach people and i think a lot of people may be watching at home and think, oh, transcendental meditation, that sounds like a religion. Im never going to be able to quiet my mind down but its a technique. How did you feel . Thats what i was like when you came to me. Im not sure this is going to work for me. I dont want all this metaphysical cal stuff but would love to learn how to find some peace, some calm. I am by nature a very skeptical person. I dont i love science. I love practicality so in that way you would think im not your typical meditation teacher but i think that whole understanding of typical meditation Teacher Needs to be brushed aside. Were talking in transcendental meditation a medical tool that can just give anyone access whether they believe in it or not you can be 100 skeptical and anyone can learn it. How to allow the active thinking mind to just access calm and when that happens, your body according to Research Gains a profound state of rest. You say its what the mind wants. Yes. The nature of the mind, thats the interesting thing. There are many meditations that i think many think of, oh, i could never do it. I could never clear my mind of thoughts. When i heard that, someone said clear your mind, i said, all right, ill create peace in the middle east. But in transcendental meditation, we just effortlessly access these deeper quieter calmer levels that are already there and it happens effortlessly because the nature of the mind is to be drawn to something more satisfying and inside most satisfying. Also like to have no expectations and everything in life, we have expectations and intentions but when we meditate its just the opposite but one thing people are concerned about, time. The time, the amount of time. Does it have to be the 20 minutes. I told this story, a man came into the office with his 14yearold son and he was complaining, said, i want to do this but 20 minutes twice a day, once in the morning, once in the afternoon, who has the time . And his son who must have done the math said, dad, theres 1,440 minutes in a day. You dont have 40 minutes to take care of yourself . So kind of shut him up and learned to meditate. You like it. You look forward to it. Its not hard work. I think it creates time. I think if you invest in 40 minutes a day you go through the rest of the 22 hours, whatever, 23 hours feeling more calm, more focused, more connected to everyone around you and thats invaluable. Its who we are when were not stressed. Stress is just sticks to us so you do this first thing in the morning, you get up 20 minutes earlier and people say, are you kidding . I need my sleep. You said that to me and i thought you were nuts. Its deeper than sleep. Do it first thing in the morning. Its an investment. More resilient. Have more energy, more focus, you get things done faster, more efficiently and youre enjoying it. It caughts you and energized you at the same time. Its the oddest thing. Give us a quick little quiet time. So as i said, to learn transcendental meditation its taught in personal instruction i wanted to say. Onetoone. I dont have the time to do that here but the first thing that you have to do when you meditate is you close your eyes. There are many meditation techniques that tell you to push out thoughts, this isnt. So its just a simple thing. Close your eyes for a moment. Everybody, do that. Do that. And then just know when you learn this technique we will give you a mantra which is a word and sound and teach you how to access the deepest level of your own being and when you do that, your body gains profound rest and you come out energized so you can open your eyes now but just know that the simplicity of closing your eyes then you learn this technique from a teacher and it can transform your life. That is true. Bob, thanks for coming in. [ applause ] offering for our crew to do this for us and were so grateful. Bring it home with you because strength in stillness is out now and well be right back. I can do more to lower my a1c. Because my body can still make its own insulin. And i take trulicity once a week to activate my body to release it, like its supposed to. Trulicity is not insulin. It comes in a onceweekly, truly easytouse pen. The pen where you dont have to see or handle a needle. And it works 24 7. Trulicity is a onceweekly injectable medicine to improve blood sugar in adults with type 2 diabetes when used with diet and exercise. It should not be the first medicine to treat diabetes, or for people with type 1 diabetes or diabetic ketoacidosis. Do not take trulicity if you have a personal or Family History of medullary thyroid cancer, if you have multiple endocrine neoplasia syndrome type 2, or if youre allergic to trulicity. Stop trulicity and call your doctor right away if you have a lump or swelling in your neck, severe stomach pain, or symptoms like itching, rash, or trouble breathing. Serious side effects may include pancreatitis. Taking trulicity with a sulfonylurea or insulin increases your risk for low blood sugar. Common side effects include nausea, diarrhea, vomiting, decreased appetite, and indigestion. Some side effects can lead to dehydration, which may worsen kidney problems. To help lower my a1c i choose trulicity to activate my within. Ask your doctor if onceweekly trulicity is right for you. Exciting to be back with a member of our gma family, linsey davis, who just wrote her first Childrens Book, the world is awake. Welcome back. You did a story for us earlier. Well k78 back. [ applause ] and the thing is, youve been covering all this breaking news at abc for over ten years and you decided to switch gears and white a Childrens Book. Why . Well, the answer is sitting right in the front row this. Is unbelievable that aidan, my son, was actually able to sit here. Hes a shy guy. But aidan and i were in the car and he said out of nowhere he said does god open up the flowers . And i was pleasantly surprised by the question, one by his curiosity but also his ability to make the connection and decided if he can do that as a toddler as a 2yearold then other kids can and so why not bring this meaningful and gentle introduction of toddlers to god and just the world around them. Kind of married to nature and the Little Things that excite kids every day. You said its important also for children to see themselves in these stories as well. I read an unbelievable essay about windows window, mirrors and sliding glass door, the idea it is essential for every Childrens Book to have a mirror so the child can see themselves reflected in the book, a window so they can peer out in an unfamiliar world and when that window is effective its able to become a sliding glass door and transport them into this other world so its so important for kids to see kids that look like them, kids that dont look like them and realize even with our differences there is a lot more that makes us similar. I love the title, the world is awake. To me it just meant its alive and for me it was a renewed sense because for me having a child, it reminded me of those Little Things that used to give us so much joy and excitement. Rainbows and bunny rabbits and butterflies that we as adults often put the blinders on, another day and going through it and seeing my son, so excited and say look at the butterfly is con tamgs. Now i say look at the rainbow. Look at this. And for you, real quick, what was your favorite Childrens Book. So i love Shel Silverstein where the sidewalk ends i think is my alltime favorite. Theres no doubt well love this too. And we got to say that the world is awake is out right now and well have more online with linsey as well so make sure you check that out. Well be right back. Im going to read to the kids. Yes, we are. Just look at the s Good Morning America is brought to you by kings hawaiian foods. Irresistible since 1950. [ applause ] how adorable.
