Good morning, clayton. Reporter good morning. Take a look behind me. Just hours ago all of this burning rubble behind me here was someones home and you can see now but take a look over here. You dont see as many flames but when i look at it through my heat sensing camera here, you can see just how red hot the ground here still is. Thanks to that monster wildfire that came with little warning. This morning, wildfires are raging just outside spokane, washington. Just massive fire going down. Reporter three outofcontrol blazes engulfing nearly 8,000 acres in less than 24 hours. At least a dozen homes and flames threatening neighborhoods and forcing immediate evacuations. People need to leave now. Reporter overnight one of those fires growing rapidly from 250 acres to 5,000 where hundreds of firefighters are battling the flames. Dropping fire retardant from the air. And on the ground, evacuating at least 100 people from their homes. Officials say a second fire was sparked by a the home that once stood here now nothing but charred rubble and ash, neighbors say the homeowners were lucky to be out of town. Gone up in flames. Its a gut wrencher. It hearts. All gone with nothing to show. Reporter a third blaze advice many from many front yards still showing no signs of slowing down.

Yeah, 25 large wildfires burning from california to nevada up to montana, so its a large area, places like bakersfield, california, where that cedar fire is ongoing grew more than 9,000 acres over the weekend. 4 million acres burned so far this year and we have fire watches and warnings centered on the Northern Rockies from montana to wyoming, that will slip and thats the instigator that kicks up the wins and get a gust up to 40.

Now to the race for the white house and Donald Trumps campaign try a new tactic signaling a possible shift on immigration as the clinton camp releases a new attack ad this morning. Abcs tom llamas is here with the latest. Good morning, tom. Reporter good morning. We are less than 80 days out before election day. Counting . A new ad war is now under way between trump and clinton and what looks like a policy shift from the gop nominee. This morning, Donald Trumps new Campaign Manager Kellyanne Conway signaling trump may be backing off his proposed Deportation Force when it comes to undocumented immigrants. Youre going to have a Deportation Force and youre going to do it humanely. He will lay out the specifics of that plan that he would implement as president of the United States. Will that plan include a Deportation Force. To be determined. Reporter this as trump is hitting roadblocks when it comes to minority outreach, some calling this statement offensive. Youre living in poverty. Your schools are no good. You have no jobs. 58 of your youth is unemployed. What the hell do you have to over 95 of the africanamerican vote, i promise you. Reporter george asking conway about it. Many in the Africanamerican Community saw that as insulting saying most africanamericans dont live in poverty and that mr. Trump was making those comments in communities that are more than 90 white. But those comments are for all americans and i live in a white community, im white. I was very moved by his comment, in other words, he is trying to tell americans that we can do better. Reporter trumps tough talk starting to come back to haunt him. This morning the Clinton Campaign out with a new ad. In times of crisis, america depends on steady leadership. Knock the crap out of hip, would you, seriously. Clear thinking. I know more about isis than the generals do, believe me. Reporter and calm judgment. And you can tell them to go [ bleep ] themselves. Reporter the ad argues trump is too unstable when it comes to National Security issues. Some of his message hes started debate prep. Sources tell abc news trump will be watching clintons past debate performances from her senate and president ial campaigns and still getting advice from roger ailes and eventually, george, he will be holding mock debates with someone standing in as Hillary Clinton. Thats going to be interesting to see who that is. Thanks very much. A new twist in that clinton email controversy. Colin powell is speaking out, jon karl joins us with more on that. Reporter good morning, george. When it comes to her email controversy, Hillary Clinton is secretary of state colin powell as essentially an alibi. Her basic argument, he did it too. Most recently mrs. Clinton reportedly told the fbi that powell had actually advised her to use a private email. The details of his advice is included in a new book who writes powell told her to use her own email as he had done except for classified communications, which he had sent and received via a state powell thus confirmed a decision she had made months earlier to keep her personal account and use it for most messages. Now over the weekend powell has pushed back telling People Magazine, quote, her people have been trying to pin it on me. The truth is she was using it for a year before i sent her a memo telling her what i did. Its also important to point out, george, that what powell did is much different. He didnt set up his own personal server and powell was secretary of state before rules we p Department Employees not to use personal email for official business. In other words, there really isnt much of a comparison and as you can see from what powell said over the weekend hes a little irritated by those trying to make a comparison. Any reaction from the clinton camp. Reporter no, i asked and no reaction to powells latest comments. Lets get more on it from matthew dowd. Maybe no reaction is the best reaction. The more clinton and her team talk about it the more trouble two candidates who seem to step in it on their own and get in their own way during the course of the race. Hillary clintons biggest problem is trust and every time these things come up it compounds split youve seen with this new Leadership Team in place for donald trump some changes and expressed regret for the first time although didnt say exactly what it was for and outreach to the Africanamerican Community and now some talk about maybe shifting his position on immigration which has been the central ten at, ryan lochte has done a better job of expressing regret than donald trump has. Donald trump did it once and ryan lochte did it four or five times. Especially on the Africanamerican Community its like a preacher who is supposed to be doing international missionary work but who stays at home and speaks to the already converted. He should talk to the community that he wants to impact, part of this obviously is to demonstrate to the republicans that hes got his campaign together, but time will tell. This race, though, the balance fivepoint race again. If donald trump can start to bring down the numbers of those people who think hes unqualified or biased against minorities which i assume is why hes speaking out about the Africanamerican Community, that could really close this race. Yeah, i think this race is meant to be close in the course of this. Now we have to look at the target states but as the National Number changes, the target states change in the course of this. In what i think is, we have to focus on a debate. The debate will determine the winner or loser of this first one is supposed to be on september 26th. When i talked to Kellyanne Conway yesterday she didnt commit to the schedule set out by the commission on president ial debates. They have to do this debate much more than hillary. Donald trump needs this. Hillary clinton doesnt need this. Donald trump has to have this to change the dynamic of this race. Even though he is still negotiating he have to accept what they put up. Yes, because he needs the race. When youre four or five points behind and its solid, only way to change it is with a debate. Thanks very much. Now to new questions about actual emergency after that chaos erupted at jfk in new york last week over false reports of gunfire . Abcs david kerley is at Reagan National airport. Good morning, david. Reporter good morning, amy. While these are being raised theyre broader implications. A u. S. Senator wants to know if all our airports are prepared for a mass shooting or terrorist attack. It was panic. Of gunshots. Reporter passengers running, they thought, for their lives. Put into action at active shooter plan at this time. Reporter the shocking pictures on the tar make are not only flyers running but security personnel too. Someone started screaming and everybody dropped their bags and started running. Reporter one suggestion, that someone heard what turned out to be applause for the olympics a week ago at jfk and the scene that alarms new york senior senator. No one was leading this emto safety. No one was telling them the right thing, in fact, it was reported that several tsa agents shouted out someone had a gun or theres terrorism. Reporter the worry, every airport is responsible for its own security and schumer says that leads to a patchwork of law enforcement, local police, sheriff and contractors. Thats the reason the senator says it may not just be jfk but other ari could see panic like this if there is a real shooting. Now, schumer is asking for a federal investigation and wants the department of Homeland Security to look at jfk and see if there are broader lessons that can apply to all airports. Thank you for that. We turn to the zika virus and a new warning about where it could turn up next. Federal Health Officials say recent flooding in louisiana and texas is putting those states at higher risk of the spread of the disease. A record amount of standing control efforts and concern mounted since they confirmed it spread is south florida from downtown miami to miami beach prompting a travel warning for pregnant women. Health officials warn it could be two years before the u. S. Stamps out zika for good. New details about the death of prince. The Associated Press is reporting some of the painpills taken from his estate after his death were mislabeled and actually contained fentanyl. That is the narcotic that killed him which is 50 times more powerful than heroin and an official close to the investigation says at least one pill labeled as hydrocodone tested positive for fentanyl. Investigators are not sure how prince obtained those drugs. George. Well move on to rio and that spectacular closing ceremony for the summer olympics. We saw simone biles carry the flag for team usa right there. Capped a triumphant run including mens basketball and matt gutman has been there from all. Reporter absolutely, george. There was american medal triumph and the ryan lochte scandal and so far no zika but last nights glittering spectacle had it all with flying acrobats and the ceremony passing of the torch from the rio games to the japan games in tokyo in 2020 that was heavy on the nintendo themes. . One more chance to samba in rio. The closing ceremony celebrating the last day of the games with taste of carnival. Five medals, four gold. Reporter simone biles leading the way for team usa, the fivetime medalist carrying the flag through a rainsoaked mar maracana stadium and causing this logjam as those lined up to snap selfies with her.

Sunday night the Mens Basketball Team crushing serbia. For three. Reporter the allstar lineup led by Kevin Durants 30 points earning team usa its 121st and final medal of the game. As we say, bring it on. Reporter but they werent alone. Claressa shields winning her second straight olympic gold medal. Claressa shields. Reporter just as she promised me she would last week. What happens after the games assuming you win gold . Thought about it . Ill definitely win gold here after that. Reporter the 212yearold is now the only u. S. Boxer with two golds bringing the hardware she won in the 2012 games with her to the podium. Snyder of the United States. Can he hang on . Reporter in wrestling kyle gold for team usa at 20 years old hes now the youngest American Olympic wrestling champ. Will get a medal to go with that sill strer. Reporter in the mens marathon american runner galen rupp citing an adam sandler flick as inspiration for his bronze medal performance. I was watching happy gilmore the other day and i fight being a marathoner. Reporter Meb Keflezighi slipping a few step as way from the finish line then doing impromptu pushups before finishing the race. Okay, so simone biles is 48. That flag is 9 feet tall about twice her height and with wind swirling here at 50 miles an hour yesterday, carrying that flag may have been the hardest thing shes had to do at the games so ill give her a perfect 10 for that. Also, japans Prime Minister who morphed into super mario during that closing ceremony that was things we saw. Great job, matt. A perfect 10 for matt after three weeks straight. Yeah, come home. You were there in rio too. What was the highlight . Without a doubt watching simone biles just kill it on all of the events, i mean she really is perfection. Just watching her flawlessly smile through some of the most amazing athletic feats you could imagine and she knew she was going to bring home gold. She made it look easy. She did. Jesse hashe hard fought 16 days but in the end an impressive show for all the american athletes. Team usa topping the list in most gold medals as well as the overall count. Heres the breakdown. The u. S. Getting 121 total medals, gold, 37 silver and 38 bronze and actually breaks the u. S. overall medal record set back in the 2008 beijing olympics when they had 110 total medals but most of the gold leading the way gymnastics superstar simone biles, she walked away with five golds, ditto for Katie Ledecky who blew away the swimming competition early on and for the men, Michael Phelps leaving with the most overall with six, five of those gold, guys.

In the ring becoming the First American olympian to win two gold medals in boxing. She has an incredible story and journey. We cant for her to join us live. Said she knew it would happen all along. The latest from ryan lochte, in hot water over that robbery scandal apologizing for what he called overexaggerating and further action will come for him and his teammates. Linsey davis has the story. Reporter the 32yearold says hes sorry for im behavior and that hes learned his lesson but he still does not admit to lying. Again and again he called it, quote, overexaggerating and when asked directly if he was robbed the 12 time medalist says he doesnt know. If i told the entire story, none of this would have happened. Reporter disgraced u. S. Swimmer ryan lochte finally coming clean. I overexaggerated a story. And i shouldnt have. Didnt happen, none of this would have happened and people would not be all over the world tuning in on this story. Reporter the story that 12time olympic medalist he initially told got them in hot water saying at the returned to the Olympic Village when their taxi was pulled over and they were robbed at gunpoint by men the guy pulled out his gun, he cocked it, put it to my forehead and said get down. Reporter he says he was still intoxicated during that interview. I take full responsibility and its my fault. Reporter his version began to unravel after authorities in brazil released Surveillance Video of him and the other swimmers at a gas station accusing the swimmer of vandalizing the rest room. Eventually two of the swimmers provided their version of that night. In a statement, gunnar bentz ourselves on the back side of the building behind some bushes and jack conger wrote, ryan lochte remove aid poster from a nearby wall, which apparently alerted the gas station employees leading to our being confronted by two Armed Security men. A witness told our matt gutman the athletes were trying to keep the authorities out of it. No police, no police, please, please, no police. They were saying no police. Yes. Reporter but lochte till refused to call his, quote, overexaggerating a i wasnt lying to a certain extent. A gun was pointed at us. We had to call them money. You can call that a robbery, extortion or just say we had to pay the money for the damage of that poster. Reporter lochte got emotional when talking about his teammates on nbc news. I mean, i i let my team down and, you know, i wanted to them dry because i mean they were my teammates. Reporter the 32yearolds future is in question with endorsement deals worth a Million Dollars including sponsors like speedo. I am speedo fit. Reporter and polo ralph lauren. Ive done the training. Reporter and while the summer games are now over, the u. S. Olympic committee announced late sunday theyre not finished with the matter. We are going action on this when we get back to the United States but i think we all overstundz what happened at this point. Reporter there are actually several organizations that could sanction the swimmers. So far no word on any d disciplinary action. Hes not finished with swimming, he says. It just remains to be seen if the sport of swimming is finished with him. More on this from amy. Jeremy schaap. We were just talking and this article piecesing to the video and some of lochtes revised accounts and say they jive and puts questions back on those security guards in theres no doubt about that. In many ways this story exonerates lochte and implicates both the security guards who according to this investigation might have committed a crime themselves and it also lays some blame at the feet of the rio police whose accounts of what happened dont jibe as you say with the facts on the ground so i think this might in some ways force a reconsideration of the judgment against ryan lochte in the court of Public Opinion. Because they said there was no vandalism to the bathroom. Didnt look like anything had been repaired so it does back up what lochte is saying now that he just exaggerated. And beyond that they spoke to an eyewitness, someone who saw the situation, excuse me, were pulled, saw a badge flashed, turns out the security guards were off duty prison guards, so you can understand in some ways how in ryan lochtes mind this felt like a robbery or at least extortion. Especially when youre under the influence of alcohol. Which he admits that he was and so were the others. The usoc says it might consider further action against lochte and his teammates. What do you think will happen. I wouldnt be the usoc, u. S. Swimming come down pretty hard on ryan lochte. Were going to have to see, though, how Public Opinion is swayed by this story in usa today, if thats going to in some way alter their approach if theyre going to be more lenient than they might have been otherwise. They suspended Michael Phelps six months for a dui weaving in traffic drunk, you know, putting other people in harms way, how would you justify giving that something at least on the fast is that is less serious. Theres going to be a impact. Big companies will shy away from getting involved with any controversy like this. In the long run, if he finds as right way to rehabilitate himself there might be even some ways for him to capitalize on this notoriety. I think there might be clever ways, but in the short term, people are going to say to themself, people make those digs we dont want to have any to do with ryan lochte but that could change. All right, a lot could change, jeremy schaap, thanks. We appreciate it. George. Coming up on our big board, a massive price hike for a lifesaving allergy medicine. Could the new costs of epipens leave your family at risk. Why a former navy s. E. A. L. Over writing a book about osama bin laden. And who will play spidermans mary jane. Will you be needing anything else . No. Not a thing. Beautyrest black. Clear for take off. See ya when youre living with diabetes. Steady is exciting. Oh this is living baby only glucerna has carbsteady, to help minimize blood sugar spikes. Time now for the big board. Our team of insiders belief to talk about todays top stories. Dan abrams at the desk with us. Well get to you in ray minute. Lets begin with this huge price increase for epipens. Many families now saying they cant afford to pay for the lifesaving medication because the cost is so high. Rebecca jarvis tracking the story. This is an eyepopping increase. It is, george. 400 . That is the amount that the epipens have gone up in cost since 2008 and as a lot of families are getting ready to they know the importance of those pens when they hit the classroom. This is an outrage. You have mylan pharmaceuticals, the company that creates the epipen that grbts it say they are working tirelessly to get access out there to all the families who need them. They also say that nearly 80 of the commercially insured patients using the epimen savings card received it for 0 dollars but the issue im hearing from a number of parents youre uninsured or even if you are insured, you might not actually have access to that program. Rebecca, i mean, so many people calling this company vultures and what impact does it have on the companys bottom line . Thats right, amy. The person who called them vultures is martin kelly, the poster child for bad behavior in that and the stock since this news came out about the 400 increase in prices it took a hit down 1 senators have said theyll start investigating the prices. Thats never a good piece of news for a public company. All right, but maybe it might make a change for those families hoping for more a more affordable option. A former navy s. E. A. L. Has agreed to pay the government nearly 7 million. Matthew bissonnette reached the settlement with the department of justice over the bestselling book about the operation to kill osama bin laden. Dan abrams is here to talk about that so bissonnette agreed to book. What do you make of it. This is a fight no one wanted. This guy is a true american hero. Youre talking about you were le heart, silver star, numerous bronze stars. He wasnt alleged to have disclosed classified information. What he was accused of was not allowing the government to vet his book and some of the slides for his speeches before he did it. Now, when you have access to Sensitive Information like that, thats one of the rules, right . You want to talk about this publicly, fine, but you get our authorization first. He didnt. And thats what this settlement relates to specifically the lack of vetting. He says he was wrongly advised that he didnt have to get this preclearance so is that why he was singled out by the government. Weve seen a lot of books about this, et cetera, movies. The reason he was singled out was related to the vetting. Its not that the information was made public, its that he didnt get permission to release this particular information. Very seriously as you can understand, the need to get classified information or potentially classified information approved first before they can release anything. Does this mean he cant make any money in the future talking about this. No, so he had to pay back for the speeches he gave in 2013 because he used slides that hadnt been vetted. So now he can give speeches, he can talk about it. He just has to make sure everything is aboveboard, that the government knows what hes doing, knows basically what hes saying and sorts of slides, the material hes using, et cetera, then he can try to make some of that back. Thats a big number, right . Talking about over 7 million. A costly lesson. Absolutely. Thats exactly the same thing he said too. Well move on to a controversial brewing about who may play spidermans girlfriend in the new movie. One has zendaya playing mary jane and want to talk to Larry Hackett about that. Created a little bit of a backlash on social media. Should be reserved for a white actress. Theyre old and written many years ago when people of color didnt have starring roles and the fans of these things take it seriously. On the other hand most of the fans tend to be young people much more open to the idea of n nontraditional casting as they call it. You know, i want to point out were talking about the casting of the girlfriend of a man who plays a spider in a movie so i think we can probably loosen up the reins here a little bit but this is kind of a trial balloon on the part of the s whether intentionally or not and getting some reaction. Most positive, some is always going to be negative in the internet world. So, you know, hopefully for zendaya she gets the role because shes been bandied about now. Give my girls a reason to go. We know hollywood has received recent and quite a bit of criticism for casting white actors in what one might assume should be a role reserved for colored people. Is this potentially the industry trying to right itself doing something right . What do you make of this move . Negative press before. I think the industry is sensitive. You have a case, you know, about a month ago with matt damon in that picture where he played a white guy saving people in the siege of the great wall of china. And you had a case of casting of emma stone in aloaloha where was supposed to play an asian person. I think there is an effort to kind of change this around. I think, though, that this has to happen at the studio level and it has to happen at the casting level. Having the oscar time is too late and nyes to be now so in this case the zendaya conversation may be a good one and may be the start of more broad changes clute the industry. Larry, thanks so much. Want to thank dan and rebecca as well. Coming up next the race against time to save a toddler trapped underwater. The harrowing 911 calls and how she managed to make it out alive. Mustangs.

There she is, Claressa Shields, she won big in rio and shell join us live in just a bit. Hello, claressa. But first gma is on the lookout with a summer swimming alert. All of us know about the dangers of deep water but hundreds heading to the e. R. Because of surprise dangers in Shallow Water and becky worley joins us. What to do when youre hit by unexpected waves. Good morning. Good morning. Yeah, when we head to the beach we fear riptides, sharks but most injuries including broken bone, concussions, even paralysis happen just ten feet from the dry sand. Down on you. The place where you feel safe in the shallows. Oh, moi god. Reporter but sometimes that area can turn dangerous in seconds. I think weve all been there. You realize suddenly the water has gotten a lot bigger. In this delaware hospital alone nearly 2,000 swimmers with injuries requiring emergency treatment in the last five years. The energy from fourfoot wave is the same energy of getting hit by a small compact car moving at 20 or 30 miles an hour. Reporter josh bazle spent his childhood until one day i was in waist high water when a wave picked me up and slammed me head first against the ocean floor. He is now a quadriplegic. Im heading into the water here in malibu, california, a big swell hitting today. With me Los Angeles County when a big waves dumps you on that hard sand. Its like wet cement. To stay safe experts say swim in lifeguarded areas. Theyll give you the safe area to swim. Reporter think like a surfer, study the water before you get in. Look at the ocean. How that situational awareness. Reporter waves come in sets. Get through the break zone during smaller waves. Caught inside as a big one hits dont brace yourself standing tall. Tightens you up and the wave will push you o into the sandy bottom. Reporter as counterintuitive as it is if you see that wall of water. Go down and grab sand. You go under that and it dissipates. Grab a breath of air, and relax under the wave. If you arent able to get beneath a wave and a big one tumbles you these next instructions could save your life. Grab the back of your head. You hit the sand youre protecting your head like this. Whoo spin cycle. I spoke with water experts on the east coast too and they say the majority of injuries they see happen are when people are getting out of the water. So time your exit to coincide with the smaller waves, get through the break zone as fast as you can and, george, you have to keep your head on a swivel watching behind you for those bigger waves. Yeah, about putting your hands behind your heads. You had a real scare with riptides when you were out there in we were treading water behind the break zone and realized we were 200 yards offshore. But this is proof that knowing what to do in the ocean makes it safer to be there. We swam parallel to the beach, 10, 20 yards and were out of the rip calmly making our way to the shore. Listen, i love the ocean. I want to help people have tools becky, thanks very much. Coming up, shes boxing her way into the history books. Gold medalist Claressa Shields joins us live fresh off her huge win in rio. Useful. I just bought a book. And while i was telling you about the book, i downloaded a song.

Congratulation, claressa. I loved how you decided to celebrate there. Tell me what was going through your mind when you got that second gold well, when i won i didnt know i won i knew i had won and did a great job, i had won unanimous and i was super excited. I dont know why i did a cartwheel but it just happened. You did a cartwheel, claressa, because you could and i fully applaud that. Now you pulled out your gold medal from 2012 when you were on the podium. Tell me why. Well, you know, i knew i olympic gold medal when i was 17, i wanted to let people know and let it be a memory i am a twotime olympic Gold Medalist and won when i was 17, i won the olympics when i was 21. Like this is not a game. This is not a joke. I can really fight. I train hard and i got both my gold medals. I even shocked myself when i pulled it out. That smile, though, it was such a moment and all felt the pride that i know you were feeling in that moment a had quite a journey getting to that podium for the second time. You had a difficult childhood and talked about it. Talk about how your past has helped mold you into the twotime Gold Medalist that you are now. Well, you know what, after the first olympics, you know, just the fact that ive had so far was just the separation of me and my coach jason and with that he just taught me how to be stronger, like by myself and to you know i had coach billy, i had coach k. My teammates and we trained hard together and got mad together and it was just like coming here, we all had so much faith in each other to do like to do great things that we were okay with the results that we got but just like just the buildup to be here, i think i went without a coach for one year where i was just training decided i would go, you know, make this quest for the Olympic Games and i had just won a World Championships and i did that training on my own so to get that 2016 medal and get all the support i had was great and glad i did it and, you know. Maybe 2020, who knows. Oh, i mean we can only hope for 2020. I know part of your mission is to inspire others to help other, tell me how youre going to do medals . Well, with the platform that i have now, im just going to, you know, tell people my story and tell them how my story involved god helping me get to where i got and how me being faithful to god helped me be where i am and train hard and put my body through all that hard work and still be able to smile about it afterwards and not be bitter about it. And just to those kids who i know from similar backgrounds to tell them they can make it. I want to find a few programs where i go and i speak and we actually have places for the kids to come. Its not like an afterschool program. More of like a program to where they learn how to navigate their life out of school, you know what i mean. Oh, and you are the perfect role model for that claressa, we can only hope for 2020 in tokyo with more of you. Thank you for joining us. Lets head outside to ginger. All right.

Our wwe summer slam champions, finn balor and charlotte joining us after last nights fierce smackdown telling all and thats coming up. Were kicking off our gma country playlist week. Look over at the chef bill durney is here. Along with old dominion and, boy, we got a lot of meat over there. In just a little bit. First i am here with an american hero, noah galloway, you know him from season 20 of dancing with the stars. He has a new memoir, living with no excuses all about his inspirational journey from the battlefield to the ballroom. Sitdown . I was afraid i would fall over. You are incredible and you talk about a real transformational moment for you, 9 11, the moment you decided you want to fight for your country. I was in college and seeing that, you know, the scenes that everyone in the world watched live on television, that was enough for me to drop out of school, join the military to be part of the fight. You found a passion there but then in december of 2005 your humvee hit a roadside bomb and lost your armnd and your recovery was long and hard. What kept you going . You know, there were several things. Thats what i talk about in the book. People assume it was one turning moment that got me back into living my life and, you know, being a better father and getting back into fitness but there were several things. Thats what i share in the book and go into great detail of my depression. You hit several low moments. Yi, i did. It wasnt just one turning moment. It was one attempt failed. Another attempt fail. Coaster of emotions and i share that in great detail with this book. I love one of your quotes. You say i needed to quit concentrating on what i lost and focus on what i had left. How do you make that mental shift are it sounds great but its really hard to do. Ive been asked how long did my recovery take and honestly it took about five years. Thats not just physical, thats the mental and emotional effects that had had on me and to recover from that. Incredibly you decided to speak up and and become an inspiration for so many people in your same situation and in similar ones. Tell me about the courage it took to stand up and share something so personal. Well, i mean rat first it was just me trying to be a better father. Getting back into fitness and i started gaining this following as i was doing things then made mens health and went on dancing with the stars and it was incredible, the reaction but this book, i share the sides of my story that people dont know because when i was going through those struggles, i thought i was the only one. I was hiding it from everyone and im hoping that itll connect with somebody or someone ha may know someone going through that and see those signs to help them. Dealing with loss, whatever it is. You mentioned dancing with the stars. You were fantastic. I mean had you ever danced before and what did you think when producers said, hey, ive got this proposition for you. You know, i didnt want to do it. Asked me if i before. They convinced me to do it. People were so supportive of me. I was not the best dancer on the show but i lasted the entire ten weeks, me and sharna because of what Sharna Burgess was able to do with me, tell my story through dance and i give her all that credit. Not just missing a arm or leg but no ability to dance you came in third place. Nations. What was your biggest takeaway interest that experience. The reaction from people and danced to toby keiths american soldier and that dance are the reaction from everybody was incredible. And that kept me motivated week after week to just do the best i could and to push and improve etch week. I know that continues to reach out to you. How can we do better to improve the relationship between vets and the rest of us. Im hearing a lot of things from veterans. When i was on the cover of mens health and on with the stars, they were proud to see positive stories of veterans. Push those positive story, not just mine but others. Veterans are successful and dont like to hear the negativity that comes with veterans because even vietnam vets, successful ceos from fought in vietnam and went through struggles and got help, went to college and have been successful and those are the stories that need to be told.

What a feast you brought us, rib, pork, all kinds of fixings. We brought some pork shoulders that weve been smoking for about 16 hours last night. We have some texasstyle spare rib, shout out to texas. Beef. Yeah, pork ribs. Pork . We got boos coming from the back. South of North Carolina back there. We got some spare ribs and then back rib. Billy, is there a secret to grilling ribs at home. For sure. A lot think they cant get smoke on their backyard grills but they can. One of the tips wed like to give is just to get a bunch of aluminum foil and wood chips and put them on your grill and let them slowly come up to temperature so theyll create a nice little smoke there. Two different sections of the yes, twozone cooking, on one side and the opposite for indirect your fans at home have questions. Evan that will be asking a question. Hi, this is evan here. I have a question about grilling. How do you get that smoky flavor on a gas grill in right, so this is what we were just speaking of on the gas grill. Also i think the science we can debate the science but old wives tale, should you soak the the Science Behind it says wood combustion needs dehydration for the wood so why would we soak them before we put them on. Whats your favorite. We like white oak and we like finishing it with cherry wood. Its a soft mild smoke whereas white oak is a hardwood that has a little more smoked flavor. Standing here well smell like it for the rest of the day. Im totally okay with that, by the way. We have another question from emily. Chicken and pork usually take a long time on the grill. Can i partially cook them to shorten the time on the grill. Really interesting question. We got a question a lot at the restaurant, can we hold like this. But there is a danger zone. Thats between 40 and 140 degrees so you never want to leave your meat partially cooked. You want to you can start it one way and finish it on the grill but it needs to be cooked tu to temperature. One last question, here comes wanted to know how long i can keep pie meat and poultry in the freezer before it goes bad. Awesome question, jen. So what we like to say for a safe time is about six months. Hunters all around, you know, can do it for much longer periods but frozen for home cooked, six months in the freezer. Nice and sealed, vacuum packed itll be just as good coming out of the freezer. A lot of good tippers thanks for joining us. Coming up, bold .

If youre in plant city heading to i4 you might want to get another cup of coffee and let this play out because we have a parking lot here on i4. Pretty much completely blocked, a little further up near alexander, cars just getting through in the shoulder due to a car crash there. Also a couple of other crashes along i4, fenderbenders. Lets look at the crash were talking about. One you get past this crash at alexander it doesnt get much better. On i4 because again we have a through plant city. You might want to consider u. S. 92, that doesnt slow down until you get closer to macintosh. Either way just give yourself extra time there. Lets check the drive across the bay. Only 13 minutes to get across the Howard Frankland, not bad, that is pretty average for this time of morning. 12 minutes across the courtney campbell, 11 minutes to across the gandy. Its already feeling like 94 in tampa. 95 clearwater. Of course that is the humidity, with the feelslike temperature as far as the actual air temperature, still climbing but its going to be a very hot day today with feelslike temperatures about 100 to 105 this afternoon. Well do that with limited storm coverage. Not zero but not 20 with plenty of sunshine early. Then you see the futurecast getting going, by the time we get to goodness, theres not much there. So its dry up above and so that is going to limit rain chances just a bit. I think well get back to it way its going to go, for highs, the actual temperature in the shade, 95, plant city, 93 tampa. 95 apollo beach. Of course it will feel even hotter, about 100 to 105 will be the heat index with all that humidity. So theres the way things are going to go for us today.
