[0:03] Good morning, America. [music] As we

[0:04] wake up, wildfires are racing through

[0:06] homes in Southern California. [music]

[0:10] firefighters running for their lives,

[0:12] and we're right there on the front

[0:14] lines.

[0:57] >> Welcome, everyone. Good morning,

[0:58] America. Diane Sawyer here with Chris

[1:00] Cuomo in New York on this Thursday, May

[1:02] 7th, 2009. And that is Robin Roberts in

[1:05] her hometown, Pass Christian,

[1:06] Mississippi. Good morning, Robin.

[1:09] Oh, good morning, Diane. Good morning,

[1:11] Chris. Good morning, America. I've come

[1:12] home to Mississippi, and I am showing

[1:15] signs of renewal even in the midst of

[1:17] this recession. So, we're going to be

[1:19] here all morning long, but we know

[1:21] there's breaking news. So, back to you,

[1:22] Diane, in New York. Yes, say hello to

[1:24] all of your friends and our friends down

[1:26] there. But, we do want to get to the

[1:27] breaking news of those wildfires in

[1:29] California. Yeah, the situation is not

[1:31] going the way firefighters hoped. The

[1:32] smoke is so thick right now, they're

[1:33] having a trouble just seeing what's in

[1:35] front of them. They don't even know how

[1:37] many homes have burned at this point

[1:39] because the smoke is so thick. ABC's

[1:41] Brian Rooney is on the front lines

[1:42] joining us now with the latest from

[1:44] Santa Barbara. Brian.

[1:46] Diane, this was a mountaintop house, and

[1:49] there's very little left that's

[1:50] recognizable. Over there is the

[1:52] washer-dryer, and then it's just all

[1:54] burned out. You can see this was an

[1:56] arched entryway. Over there is the

[1:58] fireplace. And all around me, there are

[2:00] burned-out houses and hillsides from

[2:02] this fire that just flew through here

[2:04] last night.

[2:07] What had been a meandering fire of just

[2:09] 200 acres whipped up in late afternoon

[2:12] and turned into this as the wind blew

[2:14] flames through hillside neighborhoods.

[2:17] Houses went up just one after the other.

[2:19] One team of firefighters was overrun,

[2:21] and three went to the hospital with

[2:23] burns. The Santa Barbara News-Press

[2:25] captured these images. We have

[2:27] temperatures of about 102° with very low

[2:31] humidity.

[2:32] Uh all those factors combined, uh

[2:34] you can see what the results are.

[2:37] Police went door-to-door telling people

[2:39] to get out immediately. They left

[2:41] dragging suitcases down the street and

[2:44] packing as many possessions as they

[2:45] could into the car. It was a scary

[2:47] moment, and now at least 2,000 homes are

[2:50] under mandatory evacuation. It really

[2:52] felt like uh and they were doing they're

[2:54] doing such a great job and how the

[2:56] conditions can change just in the snap

[2:58] of a finger and how uh all of a sudden a

[3:00] situation looks like it's stabilized

[3:02] becomes extremely serious. This fire had

[3:04] been going more than a day, and there

[3:06] was plenty of fire protection here when

[3:08] it ran out of control. When it's this

[3:10] bad, sometimes they just have to get out

[3:13] of the way. It is. It's very much luck

[3:15] of the draw. You hope

[3:17] uh that uh your house survives, and you

[3:19] hope everybody's house survives, but uh

[3:21] you know, it is uh a challenge of the

[3:23] conditions, and firefighters are up

[3:25] there doing a great job for us, and

[3:26] hopefully uh it all works out.

[3:30] And actually, you can see on the next

[3:31] hilltop over there, that's the fire

[3:33] engine that was left by the crew that

[3:34] was burned over last night. The area is

[3:36] roped off, and there's going to be an

[3:38] investigation of what happened. But, to

[3:40] give you an idea of how quickly the fire

[3:41] did blow through here, the crew that was

[3:43] posted on this house just dropped all

[3:46] their hoses and ran. There's burned and

[3:48] dried hoses all around. This one just

[3:50] burned right off at the nozzle. It's

[3:52] going to be several hours probably

[3:53] before there's any kind of accurate

[3:55] count of how many houses were lost.

[3:58] Diane.

[3:59] Right. And anything to say to

[4:00] themselves, "Okay, thanks so much,

[4:02] Brian." We'll have more on this later,

[4:03] of course. But, Sam Champion is over at

[4:05] the weather monitor over there because

[4:06] Sam, they're talking about something

[4:08] called a sundowner as fueling this. What

[4:11] is a sundowner? It's a wind that's very

[4:13] particular to the Santa Barbara area.

[4:14] But, Diane, we normally are talking

[4:16] about the fire season in Southern

[4:17] California in the fall, but we've had

[4:19] three very dry years there, and that's

[4:21] why we're seeing these fires in the

[4:23] spring. Now, to the sundowner pattern,

[4:24] because these mountains in the Santa

[4:26] Barbara area really run east to west,

[4:28] this is kind of a very unusual

[4:30] situation. During the middle of the day,

[4:31] the heating of the day, those well, all

[4:33] the heat builds up in the valleys where

[4:35] those original fires were. Now, in this

[4:37] situation, we get these winds coming out

[4:39] in the afternoon that grabs that heat,

[4:41] really just kind of flash dries the

[4:43] hills on the other side and allows these

[4:45] fires to spread all the way down the

[4:46] hills. It even displaces that cool,

[4:48] moist air that's usually right along the

[4:50] coastline. So, in this case, what we're

[4:52] seeing is these fires on the hillside.

[4:54] We know that sometimes they can hop into

[4:56] those very populated areas right along

[4:57] the coast. We'll be watching to see as

[4:59] these winds pop up a little bit more,

[5:01] whether that does indeed happen. But,

[5:03] right now, the fires are on the hills,

[5:04] but those sundowner winds, particularly

[5:06] at sundown for this region. Chris. Yeah,

[5:09] and Sam, you talked about the

[5:09] conditions. I was talking to a chief

[5:11] last night. He said this is going to be

[5:12] a really tough season. So, this is just

[5:14] the beginning. Appreciate that. Let's

[5:15] take a turn now. Today is a major moment

[5:18] for the economy. The government is

[5:19] releasing the results of the so-called

[5:21] stress tests for the 19 biggest

[5:24] financial institutions. Now, those banks

[5:26] have already received hundreds of

[5:28] billions in dollars of government

[5:30] bailout money, but the question is, will

[5:32] they need more of your taxpayer dollars

[5:34] to keep them from going under? GMA

[5:36] financial correspondent Bianna Golodryga

[5:38] is here, has a tip sheet for us on this.

[5:41] The big news here has to be, is our

[5:43] money safe? What do we know? And the big

[5:45] answer is your money is safe, Chris.

[5:46] This isn't a solvency issue. This is a

[5:48] certainty issue. Remember, the market

[5:49] hates uncertainty. The government wants

[5:51] to be certain that the 19 largest banks

[5:53] can withstand a doomsday type of

[5:55] scenario of an unemployment rate of

[5:57] 10.3%.

[5:58] So, let's imagine what they did. They

[6:00] took

[6:01] a school. Let's imagine you're in

[6:02] school. 19 students are in this school,

[6:04] right? Now, if you judge them all the

[6:06] same, there's no reason to have a test,

[6:07] right? You don't want to have them all

[6:08] be equal.

[6:10] You fail them, then you're going to

[6:11] spook the markets. So, no one fails. So,

[6:13] you have the major banks, let's say the

[6:14] valedictorian, JP Morgan. Then you have

[6:16] Bank of America, New York Mellon,

[6:18] Goldman Sachs, MetLife, American

[6:20] Express.

[6:21] They're all fine. They get A's. Now, the

[6:23] students they get B's, meaning that they

[6:24] need to go out and raise more money.

[6:26] Bank of America, Citigroup, Wells Fargo,

[6:28] GMAC. The government's given them 1

[6:30] month to go out and come up with a plan.

[6:32] They can either raise money on their

[6:33] own, or they can come up with other ways

[6:35] of taking it from the investor and from

[6:37] uh bondholders as well. So, today is a

[6:39] good day, right? Cuz you say this should

[6:41] remove uncertainty? It removes

[6:42] uncertainty. It's a good day, and a lot

[6:44] of these banks aren't even requiring as

[6:45] much money as people had feared. So, the

[6:46] market likes this. These banks are not

[6:49] insolvent, and Warren Buffett even

[6:50] reminded of that over the weekend. So,

[6:52] not insolvent, even though we're hearing

[6:54] they need money, it's okay. It's okay.

[6:56] All right, Bianna. Thank you very much.

[6:57] Appreciate it. Diane. All right, thanks

[6:59] to you. If we were ever in need of a

[7:01] bottom line and a big picture,

[7:03] >> [laughter]

[7:03] >> it's today. Here is chief Washington

[7:04] correspondent host of This Week, George

[7:07] Stephanopoulos to bring it to us. So,

[7:09] George, is this the day that this

[7:11] administration can say on the banking

[7:13] front, they have sailed through the eye

[7:15] of the needle, they landed the Himalaya

[7:16] pass, and dare I say, I had this sign

[7:19] made just [laughter] for you.

[7:21] Dare they say it? You're the last person

[7:23] who's ever going to hold up one of those

[7:24] signs. I think President Bush ruined it

[7:25] for everybody. But, even though the

[7:27] administration will not put up the

[7:29] mission accomplished sign, they agree

[7:31] this is a big, big moment. Here's why.

[7:34] As Bianna was suggesting, none of the 19

[7:36] big banks now, according to the

[7:38] government, are insolvent. Remember, the

[7:40] first job to fix this economy was to

[7:42] save the banks. The government believes

[7:44] that's possible.

[7:45] You can really exhale and say the banks

[7:48] have been saved. Today, we can say it.

[7:50] Not completely out of the woods, but

[7:51] they believe right now that the

[7:52] government is not going to have to come

[7:54] back to the taxpayers and say, "We need

[7:56] more money to bail out the banks." The

[7:58] amount of money the government already

[8:00] has should be enough. And are they ready

[8:02] to say that the taxpayer may make money

[8:05] back now that they'll get paid back with

[8:07] some interest? Imagine if they did. to

[8:09] go up before it goes down. That's

[8:11] exactly right. Tim Geithner, the

[8:12] Treasury Secretary, says that at least

[8:14] $25 billion

[8:16] should be coming back into the fund from

[8:18] some of the biggest banks like JP

[8:20] Morgan, like Goldman Sachs. It might be

[8:22] even more than that. Now, a little more

[8:24] might have to go out to some of the

[8:25] smaller banks, but they believe they're

[8:26] not going to have to come back to the

[8:28] taxpayers for any more money this year,

[8:30] and that clears the decks for a lot of

[8:32] other big items on President Obama's

[8:34] agenda. As we said earlier though, there

[8:36] are these parallel narratives going on

[8:38] in America right now. You have these

[8:39] improvements, this new confidence on the

[8:42] banking front, and yet the jobless

[8:43] numbers come out tomorrow. What are they

[8:46] looking for? What is it? 600? Can we put

[8:48] the number up there? Was it 640,000 last

[8:51] time we saw it? 663,000.

[8:53] significant jobless. That means the

[8:55] unemployment rate is still going to go

[8:56] up, but there was a number that came out

[8:58] just yesterday, a preliminary number on

[9:00] unemployment that showed the job loss

[9:02] last month was a little bit lower, below

[9:04] 500,000. Everyone expects that

[9:06] unemployment is likely to remain high

[9:08] through this year into next year, but

[9:10] there are some signs that the rate of

[9:13] job loss is starting to slow. That's

[9:15] good news for the banks, and that could

[9:16] start a virtuous cycle. If the banks are

[9:19] healthier, they lend more, they invest

[9:22] businesses invest more, jobs are

[9:23] created. That's the hope right now. As

[9:25] we saw, if it can just come down to

[9:26] 620,000,

[9:28] they will consider that advancing on the

[9:31] unemployment front. signs that it could

[9:32] be lower than that. Even lower than

[9:34] that. Okay. Last thing.

[9:36] Going to see a turn now that this

[9:38] banking crisis is this week. Next week,

[9:41] they turn to policy, and you say

[9:42] healthcare, watch out for healthcare.

[9:44] Healthcare is the president, the Obama

[9:45] administration's number one priority for

[9:48] the rest of this year. They believe now

[9:49] that the decks are cleared on coming

[9:51] back to the taxpayers for more money for

[9:53] the banks, they will be able to make a

[9:55] real push for healthcare this summer,

[9:57] and they're going to drive to get it

[9:58] done before October and they think the

[10:00] stars are aligning. All right. I am

[10:02] getting rid of this.

[10:03] You're absolutely right. Thanks, George,

[10:05] as always. And of course, George will be

[10:07] Sunday on this week. We'll all be

[10:09] watching. Let's go straight to Chris

[10:10] Cuomo with the other morning news.

[10:12] All right, the big headline this

[10:12] morning, President Obama says he's

[10:14] encouraged by a renewed commitment from

[10:16] Pakistan and Afghanistan to set aside

[10:19] their differences and work together to

[10:21] defeat Islamic extremists. The president

[10:23] is pledging extra financial aid as an

[10:26] incentive. Pakistan says its army is

[10:28] already making significant headway

[10:30] against Taliban insurgents who had

[10:32] forced their way into an area only 60

[10:35] miles from the capital, Islamabad.

[10:38] We have an amazing survival story for

[10:40] you this morning. A 3-year-old boy found

[10:42] alive and unharmed after spending two

[10:45] days and two nights alone deep in the

[10:48] Missouri woods. Amazing. Our Jeremy

[10:50] Hubbard tells us how it happened.

[10:53] Anybody that's got a kid, all I want to

[10:54] say is don't don't take 1 minute and

[10:57] waste it. This father's 3-year-old boy

[10:59] is in a Missouri hospital this morning.

[11:01] Scratched and exhausted, but lucky to be

[11:04] alive. All I can say is he's a tough

[11:05] little burger. Police say Joshua

[11:07] Childers slipped out of his parents home

[11:09] Monday wearing only a T-shirt, sneakers,

[11:12] and a pull-up diaper. The dad works

[11:14] nights. He was sleeping and the mom was

[11:16] on the phone. A massive search of

[11:17] hundreds of volunteers was quickly

[11:19] launched. Joshua's diaper and one of his

[11:22] shoes was found Monday night a mile from

[11:24] where he disappeared.

[11:25] Well, it's like a needle in a haystack,

[11:27] you know, you're it's a very you know,

[11:29] you're talking a pretty remote forest

[11:30] area here.

[11:32] After 50 hours searching through the

[11:34] night, a volunteer found Joshua in a

[11:36] dried-out creek 3 miles from his home in

[11:39] wet, chilly woods home to bears,

[11:42] mountain lions, and snakes. I don't know

[11:44] how he did it. I don't know grown men

[11:46] that could do it. Would you call this a

[11:47] miracle? Absolutely. A miracle of people

[11:50] working hard to find him. A miracle and

[11:52] a gift for a family who won't let this

[11:55] little boy out of their sight anytime

[11:57] soon. For Good Morning America, Jeremy

[11:59] Hubbard, ABC News.

[12:01] All right, and thanks to Jeremy. And

[12:02] listen, the Joshua had told his

[12:03] grandmother he was on his way to visit

[12:05] her. She lives 5 miles away. Only a

[12:07] child. Finally, here in the newscast,

[12:09] let's end with the beauty contest that's

[12:11] about to start in Saudi Arabia. Why?

[12:13] Well, because the judges in this contest

[12:14] aren't looking for a perfect figure or

[12:16] face. They're looking for the contestant

[12:18] who shows the most devotion to her

[12:20] parents. That's because the pageant is

[12:22] judging the woman's commitment to Islam

[12:24] and respect respecting your parents is

[12:25] one of the principles of the Islamic

[12:27] faith.

[12:28] >> event in Saudi Arabia to have this

[12:30] contest with the veil up to here.

[12:33] [laughter] And it's all about how you

[12:35] treat your mother.

[12:36] >> Miss morals. Miss morals. It's their

[12:38] first beauty pageant there. Anyway,

[12:40] let's go to Sam again for the weather.

[12:42] Morning, Diane Chris. Morning, Robin.

[12:43] Down south, let's get to it, everybody.

[12:45] Let's start with the southwest again.

[12:47] We're going back to California. We have

[12:48] some real issues with what will happen

[12:50] here during the day today. It's not only

[12:52] the heat that's back into those areas.

[12:54] There you go. Santa Barbara at 90°, LA

[12:56] at about 89, but in these valleys it's

[12:58] much warmer and a prevailing north wind

[13:00] because of the way there's a low back

[13:02] off here and a high offshore will funnel

[13:04] that heat yet again with some strong

[13:06] winds in the afternoon right through

[13:07] those mountains along to the hillsides

[13:09] of Santa Barbara right along the coast.

[13:10] Also, very strong thunderstorms and

[13:12] thundershowers pop up into the east and

[13:14] also into the Midwest. We think if

[13:16] there's going to be any tornadoes today,

[13:17] it's Kansas City, Tulsa into the

[13:19] Indianapolis region, but these will be

[13:20] very strong storms with wind and hail

[13:22] from Alexandria, Louisiana through

[13:23] Mobile almost to Atlanta all the way to

[13:25] Raleigh and into possibly South Jersey.

[13:28] Now, that's the weather around the

[13:29] nation. Your local weather, just 30

[13:30] seconds away. But first, here's this

[13:32] morning's selected cities brought to you

[13:33] by Denny's.

[13:36] How could this have happened?

[13:40] Form-molded eggs,

[13:42] industrial processed meat,

[13:45] logo-stamped bread.

[13:48] Breakfast

[13:50] has been [music] taken over by the

[13:51] machines.

[13:53] Rise and shine

[13:54] right back with a real breakfast

[13:57] sandwich made by real cooks. Introducing

[14:00] the new handmade Grand Slamwich from

[14:02] Denny's. The humans will win.

[14:06] Good morning, everyone. Today's weather

[14:08] forecast, well, it looks like the rain

[14:09] will finally [music] end later today. We

[14:11] start out at 47. We'll see some heavy

[14:13] downpours at times, with the showers

[14:15] coming through 54 by noon. High of 60°

[14:18] [music]

[14:18] today. Generally though, you can get out

[14:20] and take a walk. Tomorrow, even better.

[14:23] Morning [music] fog, afternoon sunshine,

[14:24] high of 66. Dry and sunny on Saturday

[14:27] [music] and Sunday for Mother's Day.

[14:29] Rain returning on Monday with highs

[14:31] dropping back down to the upper 50s and

[14:33] low 60s.

[14:35] >> [music]

[14:38] >> More weather in the next half hour. Now,

[14:39] back to Pass Christian with Robin.

[14:41] Robin, high in the 80s and probably some

[14:43] afternoon thunderstorms.

[14:45] Oh, thanks a lot, Sam. Appreciate that.

[14:46] It's already well into the 70s with the

[14:48] humidity to match, but it's not no place

[14:50] like home. No place like home. Thank

[14:51] you, Sam. I know we've been talking

[14:53] about the economy a bit this morning and

[14:55] new job numbers are out tomorrow and for

[14:58] much of the nation, it's expected to be

[15:00] bad news. But here on the Gulf Coast

[15:02] from Houma, Louisiana to here in my

[15:04] hometown of Pass Christian, Mississippi,

[15:06] well, the economy is riding out this

[15:09] category 5 recession, if you will,

[15:11] pretty well. And here's why.

[15:14] From Houma, Louisiana at 3.6%, the

[15:17] lowest unemployment in the nation, to

[15:20] New Orleans at 5.3%,

[15:22] to Harrison County, Mississippi at 7.9%.

[15:26] You all are are fairing well. Doing all

[15:28] right. The grant money that has now

[15:30] started to show up, that money's here

[15:32] result of Katrina, but nonetheless, with

[15:34] the economy slowing down, that has

[15:35] really been a a good boost to us.

[15:38] Experts call it the Katrina effect. The

[15:40] rebuilding effort has brought in a

[15:42] steady stream of construction jobs and

[15:44] lured new companies to the region like

[15:46] PSL North America, a pipe manufacturing

[15:49] company. If you look at the numbers of

[15:51] jobs that are being created,

[15:53] um you're looking at it conservatively

[15:56] 30,000 jobs. But there's more to the

[15:58] Gulf Coast survival than the Katrina

[16:00] effect. The industries here are pretty

[16:03] steady and it's made a much better job

[16:05] picture than it has for a lot of other

[16:07] parts of the country.

[16:08] >> Sectors like finance and housing that

[16:10] have caused gigantic job losses in many

[16:12] parts of the country never had huge

[16:15] booms to bust here.

[16:17] Even foreign auto manufacturers like

[16:19] this Nissan plant in Mississippi have

[16:21] not had to make the large-scale layoffs

[16:23] like the big three in Michigan.

[16:26] And consider tourism. In February,

[16:29] gaming at casinos was down 23% in Las

[16:31] Vegas, but in Louisiana, it went up

[16:35] 1.4%.

[16:36] >> If this economy doesn't begin to turn

[16:38] somewhere between now and the end of

[16:40] 2009, the economy here will begin

[16:42] fraying at the edges as well. But with

[16:45] the new Walmart coming to this area,

[16:47] leaders like Mayor McDermott are still

[16:49] looking on the bright side. Down the

[16:50] strip,

[16:51] Walmart.

[16:52] >> About how many jobs will it provide

[16:53] provide? Uh about 250 jobs. It's going

[16:55] to be a big thing for us.

[16:58] For more on the economy in this state

[17:00] and this region, we're happy to be

[17:01] joined by the governor of Mississippi,

[17:03] Haley Barbour. Governor, thank you so

[17:04] much for being with us this morning. We

[17:06] have a big announcement with the Boys

[17:07] and Girls Club and I know you and Mrs.

[17:09] Barbour are here for that, but want to

[17:11] talk a bit about the economy first. I

[17:12] don't want to paint a completely rosy

[17:15] picture. Things are going well here, but

[17:17] what are the chief concerns for the

[17:18] state and for this region? Look, Robin,

[17:20] uh maybe things aren't as bad here as

[17:22] some parts of the country, but we're not

[17:23] immune to what's going on in the

[17:24] national economy. I mean, we've seen

[17:26] some job loss.

[17:28] Our state revenue's down as a result of

[17:30] it. Some of our industries are cramped.

[17:33] Um we're going to come through this. One

[17:35] of the interesting things, of course, is

[17:37] the hurricane and the rebuilding and

[17:39] renewal that's going on since then like

[17:41] this $36 million capital project right

[17:44] here.

[17:45] Uh adds to our economy, creates jobs,

[17:47] and

[17:48] this is a great story. I don't know if

[17:50] it's said yet, of course, that the

[17:51] Roberts family gymnasium here in the in

[17:55] the Boys and Girls Club. That's breaking

[17:56] news. You just You just delivered that.

[17:57] I was going to be later, but thanks for

[17:58] breaking

[17:58] >> [laughter]

[17:58] >> for breaking news.

[18:00] And we should say that this $36 million

[18:01] complex is not just the Boys and Girls

[18:03] Club. It's a complete complex of schools

[18:06] >> school, it's a middle school,

[18:08] uh state money, federal money, local

[18:10] school district, but the governor of

[18:12] Qatar, the government of Qatar

[18:14] contributed $5 million. Chevron, DuPont.

[18:17] It's a great example of the story of the

[18:19] rebuilding of the Mississippi Gulf

[18:21] Coast. Private sector,

[18:23] other states, friends. The whole nation

[18:26] is receiving stimulus money including

[18:28] the state of Mississippi, but you had

[18:29] decided you announced this some time ago

[18:31] that you were going to reject some of

[18:32] the like $56 million in unemployment

[18:35] benefits. What was the reason behind

[18:36] that?

[18:36] >> If we took the money, we would have to

[18:38] change our rules about how we do

[18:40] unemployment. Right now, like most

[18:41] states, we do not let people get paid

[18:44] unemployment benefits if they're not

[18:45] willing and able to take a full-time

[18:47] job. This would have required us to

[18:49] change that law, so when the federal

[18:50] money ran out in 2 years, we would have

[18:52] had a $17, $18 million tax increase. And

[18:56] interestingly, it would have been an

[18:57] increase on employment. I mean, when

[18:59] you're trying to create jobs, I don't

[19:01] think it's very smart to increase taxes

[19:02] on jobs. And thankfully, the

[19:04] unemployment rate compared to the nation

[19:06] has been kept down lower because of the

[19:07] construction work with the other things.

[19:10] >> but I I don't want to overstate that.

[19:11] It's still about 9.4%. It's It's It's

[19:14] very It's high, higher than we want it,

[19:17] but the general economy is not as bad.

[19:20] We're not as hurt as much by real estate

[19:22] for instance as say Arizona, California,

[19:24] Florida. All right. Well, Governor

[19:26] Barbour, thank you so much. We're going

[19:27] to have a big ribbon-cutting ceremony

[19:29] coming up a little bit later in the

[19:30] morning. But let's go back now. Thank

[19:31] you. Let's go back to Chris in New York.

[19:32] Chris. Can't wait to see it, Robin.

[19:33] We'll get back with you in just a

[19:35] second, but want to tell you we have

[19:36] something very special for you coming up

[19:38] tomorrow. I had the most extraordinary

[19:40] day yesterday. I flew to Cleveland to

[19:42] Cleveland, Ohio to the Cleveland Clinic

[19:45] and had a chance to sit down and

[19:46] interview the woman we all saw who

[19:49] received the historic face transplant.

[19:52] Connie Culp talked to me about the

[19:54] horrific accident, the domestic abuse,

[19:57] talked to other women, what it's like

[19:59] suddenly to be able to smell again, to

[20:01] have her life so different, to be able

[20:03] to look in the mirror, and what she

[20:05] expects for the future. And I just want

[20:06] to say she is funny,

[20:09] she is moving, and she will change the

[20:11] way you think about your life, and that

[20:14] is a promise we make to you.

[20:16] Coming up in our next half hour, someone

[20:18] else who changes [music] the way we

[20:19] think. Maria Shriver is here, a

[20:22] deeply passionate project coming up.

[20:28] They tickle, they tease, and you [music]

[20:31] sneeze.

[20:33] Maybe it's time to ask your doctor about

[20:35] Singulair. While many allergy medicines

[20:37] block histamine, Singulair blocks

[20:39] leukotrienes, [music] an underlying

[20:41] cause of nasal allergy symptoms. And

[20:43] that's how Singulair works differently.

[20:45] One pill, [music] once a day.

[20:48] Side effects are generally mild and vary

[20:50] by age, and may include [music]

[20:51] headache, ear infection, sore throat,

[20:53] and upper respiratory infection.

[20:55] Singulair, a different way to treat

[20:57] allergies.

[20:59] One day It's Macy's one-day sale

[21:01] Saturday, with a preview day Friday,

[21:03] with great savings on beautiful gifts

[21:05] for Mother's Day. Shop early, shop late.

[21:08] [music] Macy's one-day sale Saturday,

[21:10] with a preview day Friday.

[21:12] >> [screaming]

[21:13] [gasps]

[21:14] >> My grandkids are a great reason for me

[21:16] to keep my bones strong. But even with

[21:18] calcium, vitamin D, and exercise, I

[21:20] still got osteoporosis. I never thought

[21:22] I could do more than stop my bone loss.

[21:24] Then my doctor told me I could, with

[21:26] once-monthly Boniva. Boniva works with

[21:29] your body to help stop and reverse bone

[21:31] loss. Studies show after 1 year on

[21:34] Boniva, nine out of 10 women stopped and

[21:36] reversed their bone loss. I know I did.

[21:39] Don't take Boniva if you have low blood

[21:40] calcium, severe kidney disease, or can't

[21:42] sit or stand for at least 1 hour. Follow

[21:44] dosing instructions carefully. Stop

[21:46] taking Boniva and tell your doctor if

[21:47] you have difficult or painful

[21:48] swallowing, chest pain, or severe or

[21:50] continuing heartburn, as these may be

[21:52] signs of serious upper digestive

[21:53] problems. If jaw problems or severe

[21:55] bone, joint, and/or muscle pain develop,

[21:57] tell your doctor. I've got this one body

[22:00] and this one life, so I wanted to stop

[22:02] my bone loss, but I did more. I reversed

[22:04] it with Boniva. Ask your doctor if

[22:06] Boniva can help you stop losing and

[22:09] start reversing. For a free trial offer,

[22:11] call 1-800-4-Boniva.

[22:23] Yum yum.

[22:25] >> [whistles]

[22:31] [music]

[22:31] >> This is K2 News this morning, on your

[22:34] side.

[22:36] And good morning, everybody. Here at

[22:37] 7:22. I'm Carl Click. Plans for a

[22:39] baseball stadium in the Rose Quarter go

[22:42] down swinging. Mayor Sam Adams told the

[22:44] Oregonian that a stadium for the Beavers

[22:46] won't be built there. He says the

[22:47] current plan will save the Memorial

[22:49] Coliseum. Adams said the Lents

[22:51] neighborhood is the only option right

[22:53] now for a new home for the Portland

[22:55] Beavers. A neighbor we spoke to on K2

[22:57] News this morning had some concerns.

[22:59] This should really be more commercial

[23:01] property when you start bringing that

[23:03] many people in here.

[23:06] I'm just hoping it'll work out. I'm

[23:08] concerned neighbor.

[23:11] So, the Beavers do have to go someplace.

[23:13] A Major League Soccer team is going to

[23:14] be moving in and renovating PGE Park.

[23:17] Vancouver police searching for a missing

[23:19] teenager now. Officers say that Karissa

[23:21] Tuck, the woman on your screen, the girl

[23:22] on your screen right now, disappeared

[23:23] yesterday afternoon. She's 5 ft 4 in

[23:27] tall, weighs about 100 lb. She was last

[23:29] seen wearing a blue jeans and a

[23:31] Tinkerbell jacket. Karissa also suffers

[23:34] from Asperger's syndrome. That's a form

[23:36] of autism. If you have any information,

[23:38] please contact the Vancouver police.

[23:41] And that Salem father accused of using a

[23:43] dog shock collar on his children is

[23:46] being held on $80,000 bail. 41-year-old

[23:49] Todd Markham made his first court

[23:50] appearance yesterday. A new report says

[23:53] that Markham used that dog shock collar

[23:55] to the point of making his children cry.

[23:57] He told police he thought it was funny.

[24:00] The four young children are now in the

[24:02] custody of their mother. All right,

[24:04] let's get a check on your drive to work

[24:05] now. Lauren has traffic. Thanks, Carl.

[24:07] If you're headed out in the next few

[24:08] minutes, a traffic story right now.

[24:09] While some freeways are seeing delays,

[24:11] others [music] are not. I-5 southbound

[24:13] slow through Delta Park, and northbound

[24:14] seeing some congestion and delays from

[24:16] Capitol up through the curves. Taking a

[24:18] look at the Banfield stacked up at

[24:19] either end off of 205 past 82nd, then

[24:22] again through the Hollywood District

[24:23] [music] to the I-5 split, having some

[24:25] difficulties with these camera views.

[24:27] 205, some congestion southbound traffic

[24:29] [music] moving towards you across the

[24:31] Abernathy Bridge toward Westland. Sunset

[24:32] inbound, brake lights through the Vista

[24:34] Ridge tunnel starting in about Sylvan to

[24:36] 405. 217, not too bad. Cars cruising

[24:39] past [music] Washington Square. Back to

[24:40] you.

[24:41] Okay, Lauren, thanks for the update.

[24:43] We're going to have a transition day,

[24:45] getting out of the rain and maybe into

[24:46] some sunshine. Rhonda [music] has our

[26:04] understand accomplishment.

[26:06] Accomplishment can be the desire [music]

[26:08] to never give up.

[26:10] Accomplishment means going that extra

[26:12] mile.

[26:19] Accomplishment can also mean

[26:21] understanding your [music] obstacles.

[26:25] Come visit Wilsonville Toyota,

[26:27] Portland's only winner of the 2008

[26:29] Toyota President's Award for great

[26:33] Well, one thing's for sure, it's going

[26:34] to be a lot drier than it was yesterday.

[26:37] We are going to see some brief heavy

[26:38] downpours, though. Here's a look outside

[26:40] right now at the Inn at Spanish Head

[26:41] Resort Hotel camera. I love that shot

[26:43] with the puffy cumulus clouds in it. No

[26:45] rain coming down at the moment, and some

[26:48] partial clearing, but there are some

[26:49] showers developing over the coast range.

[26:50] They have been all morning, uh just west

[26:53] of Hillsboro, Banks, and Gaston, which

[26:55] at times will pass over the region. Also

[26:57] up in the Vancouver, Salmon Creek,

[27:00] Battle Ground area. You see a few

[27:01] showers. Clackamas getting a few, but

[27:03] they will be widely scattered today, and

[27:05] will start out in the 40s. Noon time,

[27:08] 54°. 60° high today. Here's the good

[27:11] news. Both Friday and Saturday and

[27:14] Sunday will be dry. Mother's Day looks

[27:15] dry at this point, but rain will return

[30:03] Did you watch? Did you watch? Did

[30:05] [music] you watch last night? There she

[30:07] is, the American Idol judge Paula Abdul,

[30:09] taking the [music] stage for herself.

[30:12] As we said earlier, to show how idols of

[30:14] [music] former years used to rock it. I

[30:16] can't believe it's been 20 years since

[30:18] Straight Up Now Tell Me Opposites

[30:20] Attract, and everything we were singing

[30:21] in the car out there in Wisconsin.

[30:22] >> That's right. But boy, she still has it,

[30:25] boy, the judge who come and not been

[30:26] coming back.

[30:28] And we have a lot more for you this

[30:29] morning as we say good morning America

[30:31] again. Diane Sawyer here with Chris

[30:32] Cuomo and Robin, as you know, is back in

[30:34] Holmes. She's in their hometown

[30:36] Pascagoula, Mississippi. Robin?

[30:39] I am here, Diane and Chris, here to mark

[30:41] a milestone in the recovery from

[30:43] Hurricane Katrina, the reopening of the

[30:45] Boys and Girls Club that you can see

[30:47] behind us right now. And so we're going

[30:49] to have the official ribbon cutting

[30:51] ceremony coming up. Are you all ready to

[30:53] go inside? Yeah!

[30:56] >> [cheering]

[30:58] >> Will you help me get out of this

[30:59] position first?

[31:00] >> Yeah!

[31:01] >> [cheering]

[31:01] >> All right.

[31:03] Let's go back to you, Diane. It's going

[31:04] to take me that long to get up.

[31:06] >> You can do it. You can do it. We know.

[31:09] But first in this half hour, every 70

[31:12] seconds someone in America is diagnosed

[31:15] with Alzheimer's disease.

[31:17] In that sense, we are one nation and one

[31:20] family. And Maria Shriver, as you know,

[31:22] the first lady of California, is such a

[31:25] passionate voice on all this. She is

[31:27] with us live this morning. But first,

[31:29] just a reminder of how she has spoken

[31:31] out.

[31:33] Good morning. I'm Maria Shriver and I'm

[31:35] a child of Alzheimer's.

[31:37] >> [music]

[31:37] >> Maria Shriver going public before

[31:39] Congress with a private family

[31:41] heartache. Her dad, once so [music]

[31:44] vibrant and curious, Sargent Shriver,

[31:46] the Washington powerhouse, now in

[31:48] [music] the shadow land of Alzheimer's.

[31:50] That's a good excuse. There are 5.3

[31:53] million people who have it. At the age

[31:56] of 93, he still goes to mass every day.

[31:59] And believe it or not, he still

[32:00] remembers the Hail Mary. But he doesn't

[32:02] remember me, Maria. I'd be lying if I

[32:06] didn't admit that that still makes me

[32:07] cry. One in eight of us will have

[32:10] Alzheimer's by the time we're 65,

[32:12] raising questions. Is any group spared?

[32:15] Those who exercise, those who do

[32:17] puzzles?

[32:18] >> [music]

[32:19] >> Is there anything to be done?

[32:21] Shriver, with a new book and now a new

[32:23] HBO documentary, is [music] trying to

[32:25] answer questions, end the shame of

[32:28] Alzheimer's, and reach out a helping

[32:30] hand.

[32:33] >> [music]

[32:34] >> It's really important to encourage kids

[32:36] not to be afraid when they're around

[32:39] someone with Alzheimer's. Do you know

[32:40] who I am, Grandma?

[32:42] But there's always that moment when you

[32:44] have to let it sink in that your mother,

[32:47] your father, your grandma, your grandpa

[32:50] doesn't [music]

[32:50] know who you are.

[32:53] And you were seeing scenes from a TV

[32:56] series called The Alzheimer's Project,

[32:58] co-produced, co-executive produced by

[33:00] Maria Shriver. And there's also a

[33:02] companion book, and she is here now

[33:04] along with Dr. Richard Hodes, who's

[33:06] director of the National Institute on

[33:07] Aging at the NIH. It's good to have you

[33:09] both

[33:10] >> Thank you, Diane.

[33:10] >> Good morning, Maria.

[33:11] >> Good morning. Listening to you again

[33:13] testify, that was such

[33:16] a riveting and unifying moment for all

[33:19] of us when you said, "And he doesn't

[33:20] remember me." Does it ever get any

[33:24] easier when you go in to see him? No.

[33:26] I think it's never easy to look at your

[33:28] parent and have them not know who you

[33:32] are,

[33:32] uh no matter what your age is. And I

[33:35] think you have to recalibrate yourself

[33:37] every single time you see your father

[33:40] and uh you introduce yourself to him, or

[33:43] you see your mother and introduce

[33:44] yourself to you. You can't imagine quite

[33:46] what that's like until you do it. Have

[33:48] you learned anything? What do you say to

[33:49] yourself before you go in to get

[33:51] yourself ready? I just say

[33:53] um you know, I'm going to go in. I'm

[33:54] just going to be upbeat. I'm going to

[33:56] say, "Hi, I'm Maria. I'm your daughter."

[33:58] And uh he'll go, "Oh my goodness, you

[34:00] are." And I'll go, "Yes, isn't that

[34:02] amazing? I'm your daughter." And um

[34:05] then I just try to go with the moment.

[34:08] And uh it has taught me to live in the

[34:11] moment, to accept the person for who

[34:13] they are, not for who I want them to be

[34:15] or who they used to be, but to try to

[34:18] deal with the person sitting in front of

[34:19] me. And that's a pretty good lesson kind

[34:21] of for life in general.

[34:23] It is. Do you find yourself saying all

[34:25] the time to yourself, "I wish I had

[34:26] asked him. I wish I had

[34:27] >> Oh, yes, absolutely. I think you have

[34:30] the joy, you know, so many people don't

[34:32] have their parents at my age. And so

[34:34] when you have them, you want to talk to

[34:36] them about, "Well, this is going on in

[34:38] my life now. What did it go on in your

[34:40] life, too?" Or something. And then you

[34:41] realize obviously you can't do that. And

[34:44] um

[34:46] you know, so you you just once again try

[34:48] to bring yourself back to focusing on

[34:50] who the person is and what you can do to

[34:51] make their life pleasant or enjoyable or

[34:54] help them in any way you can. I think

[34:56] that's the role of a child. And it's one

[34:58] of the things, one of the saving things

[35:00] that you want children to understand

[35:01] when they go in and visit. Well, I want

[35:04] children of all ages, and I put myself

[35:05] in that category, to understand about

[35:07] this disease. There's a lot of shame, a

[35:09] lot of confusion about Alzheimer's. And

[35:12] I think just in the period of time that

[35:15] my father was diagnosed and I wrote a

[35:16] children's book in 2004, nobody came up

[35:20] to me. When I was flying here two days

[35:22] ago,

[35:23] must have been 10 people on the airplane

[35:24] who came up to me about Alzheimer's.

[35:26] "Where do I go? My dad was just

[35:27] diagnosed. My mother, I just lost my

[35:29] dad. Do you have any advice on a

[35:31] caregiver? Do you know anything about

[35:32] new medication? Do you know where I get

[35:34] a clinical trial?" And I can direct them

[35:36] to watching The Alzheimer's Project on

[35:38] HBO, where all of that information is

[35:40] accessible now for the first time. And

[35:42] and one of the portions does talk a lot

[35:45] to kids and about kids going to visit

[35:47] those with Alzheimer's. Want to play a

[35:48] short clip?

[35:49] >> Okay.

[35:51] What was it that made you fall in love

[35:53] with her?

[35:54] Well, I had

[35:56] She was a pretty little girl.

[35:58] And

[36:00] I didn't have any other girlfriends.

[36:02] >> [music]

[36:03] >> And so I fell in love with her

[36:07] because there was an old side.

[36:10] >> [music]

[36:11] >> I love you.

[36:18] >> [music]

[36:24] >> You're so wonderful.

[36:27] I got [music] got got got

[36:32] I wish I could have known her as she was

[36:34] before [music] cuz

[36:36] as from what I've heard, she must have

[36:38] been a really amazing woman.

[36:42] Yeah, I've watched that so many times

[36:44] and you you know, you can't watch it

[36:46] without crying. And that little girl is

[36:49] so brave. She took a video camera and

[36:51] wanted to video her grandmother's life

[36:53] and talk to people about what kind of

[36:55] woman she is. And the great thing about

[36:57] children is they come up with all

[36:58] creative ways of

[37:01] involving themselves in the disease of

[37:03] Alzheimer's. And so I thought that was

[37:04] such a great example. Very moving. Yes,

[37:07] so many ways to

[37:10] re-love your life

[37:11] >> Mhm. when you watch it, when you watch

[37:13] this special. Dr. Hodes, a couple of

[37:15] quick questions to you, and I know

[37:18] later on we'll be going over in some

[37:20] detail memory and when memory fades and

[37:23] what is memory that fades, but

[37:25] if there's one thing you can say to

[37:27] people out there who are afraid

[37:29] every time they forget something, every

[37:31] time they forget a name, every time they

[37:32] can't remember where the keys are,

[37:34] what is the point at which you do worry?

[37:36] What is

[37:37] what is the trigger moment that says,

[37:39] "Yes, this is something different. This

[37:41] is something to make you worry." Well,

[37:43] it's it's it's a good and important

[37:44] question and a very challenging one. All

[37:46] of us have the experience of forgetting

[37:48] a name momentarily, misplacing the keys,

[37:50] or having trouble finding a parked car.

[37:52] And most often this is not something to

[37:54] worry about, not a sign that Alzheimer's

[37:56] disease is on the horizon.

[37:58] But when

[38:00] cognitive problems, when memory becomes

[38:02] more difficult, when it's persistent,

[38:04] when it interferes with life function,

[38:06] and when family loved ones notice this,

[38:08] then the possibility that it is

[38:10] Alzheimer's disease and the need for an

[38:12] evaluation is what becomes effective.

[38:14] It's a it's a a very difficult

[38:16] transition for all of us to calculate.

[38:19] >> And and I read someone, it's not

[38:20] forgetting the keys, it's forgetting

[38:22] what the keys are for.

[38:24] Yes, uh so as as one simply goes beyond

[38:28] forgetting a particular incident, but

[38:30] but executive functions, how things

[38:32] functions, what what where where they

[38:33] work. Uh there are a lot of favorite

[38:35] analogies, uh not putting the keys in

[38:37] the freezer, uh or not remembering, as

[38:40] you say, what the keys are for, are far

[38:41] more serious than simply uh not knowing

[38:43] where are the moment or forgetting a

[38:45] name. As I said, we'll be coming back

[38:47] tomorrow. We'll be talking more about

[38:49] the detail of memory [clears throat]

[38:50] loss, but

[38:51] you're really you're really hopeful this

[38:54] year, next year. It's close to something

[38:57] that can help? Well, I think what uh we

[39:01] have seen in these last years is is an

[39:03] incredible and unanticipated progress in

[39:05] understanding Alzheimer's disease. And

[39:07] the understanding is important because

[39:08] it leads to targets for intervention,

[39:10] ways to try to approach disease. There

[39:13] are at least 91, for example, drug

[39:14] trials ongoing now. There is an ability

[39:17] to image the brain of people and see

[39:20] some of the lesions of Alzheimer's and

[39:21] and track them. So we have an

[39:22] opportunity to know when we are making a

[39:24] difference in the progress of this

[39:26] disease. Well, it's so great to hear

[39:28] that you have some hope. And I want

[39:30] everybody to know, The Alzheimer's

[39:31] Project is so detailed, so emotional.

[39:34] It's four parts. It's a documentary

[39:36] series that begins airing next Sunday on

[39:38] HBO. And of course, go to our website

[39:40] and learn more about the project as

[39:42] well. And we will be talking about it

[39:43] later. I love what you wrote, Maria.

[39:45] Maybe Maybe we don't know what people

[39:48] with Alzheimer's are thinking, but we

[39:49] know the comfort of love in your heart.

[39:53] We'll be back. Oh, no, we're going to

[39:55] Sam for the weather.

[39:57] Diane, Maria, doctor. Good morning,

[39:58] everyone. Let's show you Well, we're

[39:59] going to start with the New York area.

[40:01] All the way from Philly into New York,

[40:03] into Boston. There's this persistent

[40:05] kind of low-hanging clouds, and it's

[40:06] been really along the Eastern Seaboard.

[40:08] And though we've had 3 in of rain in the

[40:10] New York area for the since the first of

[40:12] the month, we've had rain almost every

[40:14] day in a lot of the East Coast in the

[40:15] same situation. We'll move another

[40:17] impulse of low pressure off the

[40:18] coastline today. Get a chance to dry out

[40:20] for a moment in the afternoon, but

[40:22] there's one more low coming on Friday,

[40:23] another one coming on Saturday, but we

[40:25] believe that this East Coast pattern

[40:27] will settle down a bit uh by the time we

[40:29] get into Mother's Day weekend, uh

[40:30] Mother's Day itself, probably Sunday. 71

[40:32] in New York, 69 in Boston Boston, Bangor

[40:35] comes in at about 50°. It's the heat in

[40:37] the Southwest that's another big

[40:38] headline for us during the day today.

[40:39] We'll watch these numbers come up to

[40:41] where they're record levels or near it.

[40:42] Phoenix gets to 104, Santa Fe at 87, El

[40:45] Paso at 100, but watch this heat spread

[40:47] into Texas today because now we're

[40:49] moving that heat all the way into the uh

[40:51] right into the middle of of Texas and

[40:53] almost the coastline as well. One more

[40:54] system comes into the Northwest. Most of

[40:56] the rain will be held in northern

[40:57] Oregon, all the way into Washington

[40:59] state. That's the weather around the

[41:00] nation. Here's what you can expect this

[41:01] morning.

[44:40] A lot of the things we need cost money.

[44:42] So, every day in May, we're telling you

[44:44] different ways [music]

[44:45] that you can get some extra cash. This

[44:47] morning, we're going to talk about a job

[44:49] that many people past their 20s might

[44:50] not think to apply for, but it's a

[44:52] serious job where one of the perks is a

[44:55] suntan. Here's ABC's Jeffrey Kaufman.

[44:58] Contrary to what you've seen on TV, this

[45:01] job that you're trying to get right now

[45:03] is not like Baywatch. No, not like

[45:07] Baywatch.

[45:09] The average applicant here is a

[45:10] 17-year-old high school senior. So,

[45:13] what's that guy doing here? All right,

[45:15] 30 seconds down and back. At 34, Troy

[45:18] Logan could be the father of most of the

[45:20] wannabe lifeguards he's competing

[45:22] against. So could Kevin, 32, an

[45:24] ex-Marine, and John, 46, a former

[45:26] aviation worker. All middle-aged men

[45:29] competing with teenagers. Science shows

[45:32] that at age 30, the human body's organs

[45:34] begin to decline. By 45, the average

[45:36] person has lost 15% of heart pumping

[45:39] function, and muscle strength has begun

[45:41] to decrease. But these guys are betting

[45:43] that they are more fit than the average.

[45:46] And if they can prove it, they too can

[45:48] snag a job that pays a modest $9.37

[45:51] an hour. Florida has the fourth highest

[45:54] unemployment rate in the country, and

[45:56] these lifeguard jobs are some of the few

[45:58] positions available here in the Daytona

[45:59] Beach area, where more than 10,000 jobs

[46:03] have disappeared in the last year. This

[46:05] year, 160 applicants are competing for

[46:07] 50 summer jobs. If the surge in

[46:10] applicants isn't a surprise, who they

[46:12] are is. It's a sign of the times. It's

[46:15] It's good for us to have those people

[46:17] come out, but I'm sure, you know, they

[46:19] these these gentlemen and ladies that

[46:20] are older would probably uh prefer to be

[46:22] doing what they've been doing the past

[46:23] several years.

[46:25] One TV and J. At home, Troy Logan and

[46:28] his wife, Erin, a dental assistant, have

[46:30] two kids to feed and bills to pay. Since

[46:33] Troy lost his job, they've reduced

[46:34] groceries to $100 a week. Should people

[46:37] watching this feel sorry for you?

[46:40] Absolutely not. We have great kids, and

[46:43] You have a wonderful family.

[46:44] >> and he has opportunities coming, so if

[46:47] you don't keep your head up,

[46:50] then you're not going to get ahead.

[46:52] You're almost there. In the 500-m ocean

[46:55] swim, the older guys held their own,

[46:57] finishing in the middle of the pack,

[46:59] which is actually just like [music]

[47:00] Baywatch, after all. After David

[47:02] Hasselhoff was 40 when that show was in

[47:05] its prime.

[47:06] For Good Morning America, Jeffrey

[47:08] Kaufman, ABC News,

[47:10] Daytona Beach.

[47:12] Good news, Troy, the dad of two you just

[47:14] saw. He got the job. Perfect. I mean, it

[47:16] looks like fun. It is fun. You make some

[47:18] money. New York, 33,000. Not bad.

[47:21] $33,000 a year. Uh Massachusetts is the

[47:23] next top one at 32. I don't understand

[47:25] why California lifeguards make a little

[47:27] less at 31,000. Don't really understand

[47:29] that. It seems like the season might be

[47:31] a little longer, but

[47:33] too easy a job, too easy a job. Memorial

[47:34] Day to Labor Day seems to be the main

[47:36] season.

[48:18] She's losing her battle against nasal

[48:20] allergies, but we found a way to fight

[48:22] it. Omnaris [screaming] to the

[48:35] effects may include headache, nosebleed,

[48:37] and sore throat. Mission accomplished.

[58:06] Hello, everybody. 7:58. I'm Carl Click.

[58:08] Clackamas County has its first confirmed

[58:10] case of the swine flu. 51-year-old man

[58:13] was not hospitalized and is recovering.

[58:16] He's among the 45 confirmed cases in

[58:18] Oregon. Three of those are in Marion

[58:20] County. Polk County has the most cases

[58:22] at 16. The state of Washington has 23

[58:26] confirmed cases.

[58:27] Also, I want to let you know that two

[58:28] Oregon police officers who died in the

[58:30] line of duty will be honored in Salem

[58:32] today. Oregon State Trooper William

[58:34] Hacken and Woodburn Police Captain Tom

[58:36] Tennant died when a bomb went off

[58:38] outside of West Coast Bank branch last

[58:40] December. Their names will be added to

[58:42] the Oregon law enforcement officers

[58:44] memorial wall. Their names are already

[58:46] on the national memorial wall that's in

[58:48] Washington, D.C. We have a traffic

[58:50] problem from Lauren right now.

[58:52] >> We do. Thanks, Carl. Expect delays if

[58:53] you're headed I-5 northbound. Not the

[58:55] greatest shot, but a stalled semi

[58:56] blocking the center lane on the

[58:58] Interstate Bridge and a quick view of

[59:00] the backup at least past Marine Drive.

[59:02] [music] So, add an extra 10 minutes,

[59:03] maybe 15 minutes. Again, if you're

[59:05] headed I-5 northbound toward the

[59:07] Interstate Bridge in Vancouver. 205

[59:09] northbound on the left-hand side slows

[59:10] from Foster up toward Stark. Banfield is

[59:12] stacked up between 205 and I-5 all the

[59:15] way in. 217 [music]

[59:16] seeing on and off congestion around

[59:18] Canyon. Doesn't look too bad right at

[59:19] the moment. And Sunset in bound, expect

[59:21] delays after 217 [music] toward the

[59:22] tunnel. Ronda. Oh, that was a big

[59:24] problem on the Interstate Bridge.

[59:25] Thanks, Lauren. Let's talk about your

[59:27] weather forecast today. Drying out by

[59:29] afternoon. This morning, we're starting

[59:30] out with partial clearing here on Storm

[59:31] Tracker Doppler radar. Only a few

[59:33] showers over the coast range in the west

[59:35] side, generally dry here in the city.

[59:38] We're right now in the 40s, 47 in

[59:40] Portland, 44 in Hillsboro, 45 in

[59:42] McMinnville with partial clearing in

[59:44] most spots. Here's how things shape up

[59:46] for the weekend, dry by tonight, 66 and

[59:49] dry tomorrow, dry all this Mother's Day

[59:51] weekend, rain [music] returning on

[59:53] Monday. Have a great day, everybody.

[59:55] Next update in 25 minutes.

[60:01] >> [music]

[60:03] >> Good morning, America, continues with

[60:04] breaking news on those raging wildfires

[60:06] in Santa Barbara. Thousands evacuated as

[60:09] homes go up in flames. We're live

[60:14] Also, an exclusive look inside the life

[60:47] Chris Cuomo with a quickly getting

[60:48] seated Diane Sawyer. Robin, of course,

[60:50] is down there in the Pass. This is

[60:52] Thursday, May 7th.

[60:54] You're all right. You're ready. You're

[60:55] in there. You're ready.

[60:56] >> and saying hello to Robin.

[60:58] Uh and coming up in this half hour from

[60:59] here in New York, we're going to learn

[61:01] more about Oprah's exclusive, very

[61:03] revealing interview with John and

[61:04] Elizabeth Edwards.

[61:06] Mrs. Edwards talking openly about that

[61:08] painful chapter in their lives in O

[61:10] Magazine. Gayle King will join us with

[61:12] new details. She's there, seated. Good

[61:15] morning to you, Gayle. But let's go back

[61:17] to Robin down home in Pass Christian.

[61:19] Robin.

[61:21] Oh, that sounds so good to me. Hi, Diane

[61:23] and Chris. Uh we're going to get to the

[61:24] cutting of the ribbon for the new Boys

[61:27] and Girls Club of the Gulf Coast Cutter

[61:29] Center here in Pass Christian. Going to

[61:30] show you this beautiful facility. But

[61:32] first, we have another huge food

[61:34] donation. And this time it comes to us

[61:36] from Uncle Ben's, a company that's been

[61:38] based in the Delta for some three

[61:40] decades. And we have a live drum roll

[61:43] from the Boys and Girls Club of East

[61:44] Biloxi. Drum roll, please.

[61:47] Uncle Ben's is donating Jordan, do the

[61:50] honors.

[61:51] 13,000

[61:55] boxes of rice. 13,000

[61:57] boxes of rice.

[61:59] That's a lot of rice.

[62:01] That's 125,000

[62:03] servings. And that [cheering] is going

[62:05] to go to the people of this area. And

[62:08] now, I should tell you first, though,

[62:09] that brings our total of all the food

[62:11] that we have raised in recent weeks.

[62:13] That brings our total to 513,145

[62:18] lb that gracious people have donated

[62:20] from all across the country. And this

[62:22] generous donation is going to the Bay

[62:24] Area Food Bank in Mobile, Alabama, and

[62:26] the food pantries here along the Gulf

[62:28] Coast. And Feeding America, thank you

[62:30] for letting us know about the food

[62:31] pantries that are in need. And I have to

[62:33] tell you that the city of Pass Christian

[62:36] has adopted the city of Sabine Pass in

[62:39] Texas following Hurricane Ike. They

[62:41] understand so well the destruction that

[62:43] has taken place there. And so they have

[62:45] sent food and supplies. And I want to

[62:47] tell you that Good Morning, America,

[62:49] will be traveling to the Texas area to

[62:51] report on what has taken place there

[62:53] since Ike and help them rebuild as we

[62:56] are continuing to do here on the Gulf

[62:58] Coast. Diane and Chris. All right,

[62:59] Robin. We're going to talk more about

[63:01] food and collecting it and the needy in

[63:03] just a moment. But we're going to begin

[63:04] here with breaking news in Southern

[63:05] California. Because just when crews

[63:07] thought they had the upper hand on that

[63:08] wildfire, it has roared back to life

[63:11] with a vengeance. Now more than a dozen

[63:13] homes have gone up in flames and

[63:15] thousands of people are actually having

[63:17] to scramble to safety. Brian Rooney is

[63:19] on the front lines in Santa Barbara. He

[63:21] has the latest for us from there. Good

[63:23] morning, Brian.

[63:26] Chris, it was a wild night here.

[63:28] Actually, you can see on the next hill

[63:29] over there is a fire engine left by a

[63:31] crew that was burned over last night.

[63:33] Three of them ended up in the hospital

[63:35] and that's that's an investigation scene

[63:37] now. You can see here is another house

[63:39] that's totally burned out. The winds

[63:40] were 40, 50, 60 mph. To give you an idea

[63:43] how fast that came, the firefighters

[63:45] posted on this house just dropped their

[63:47] hoses and ran.

[63:49] These hoses are burned out and dried.

[63:51] It's going to be several hours before

[63:53] investigators can get an accurate count

[63:55] of exactly how many houses were lost,

[63:57] but obviously it's quite a few. Chris.

[64:00] All right, Brian. Thank you for the

[64:01] update. Let's turn to the economy now

[64:03] and a couple of pieces of good news. The

[64:04] government is releasing results of those

[64:06] bank stress tests today, assessing the

[64:08] health of the nation's 19 largest banks.

[64:10] And the good news is only a handful have

[64:12] been told they need to raise more

[64:13] capital. Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner

[64:16] says that this should reassure the stock

[64:18] market and lift the cloud of

[64:20] uncertainty. We also have some

[64:22] encouraging news from General Motors

[64:23] this morning. Even though it's still

[64:25] hemorrhaging cash, the company lost $6

[64:28] million in the first quarter. That is

[64:30] less than was expected. Now, I told you

[64:33] that we were going to talk about the

[64:34] need for food. There is a new report out

[64:36] this morning that 3 and 1/2 million

[64:39] children under the age of 5 in this

[64:41] country are at risk of going hungry. The

[64:43] group Feeding America says the highest

[64:45] rates of what they call food insecurity

[64:48] are in Louisiana, North Carolina, and

[64:51] Ohio. You know, here at GMA, we're

[64:52] trying to do what we can. You can go and

[64:54] help Feeding America and help your

[64:57] community by going to abcnews.com,

[64:59] find the food bank in your area, and do

[65:01] what your community needs you to do.

[65:03] That is the news at 8:05. It's time for

[65:06] the weather. Let's get to Sam. Sam. Hey,

[65:07] good morning, Chris. Good morning, gang.

[65:09] Everybody, hey.

[65:10] Perfect. Nice. Nice. Nice. Oh, by the

[65:12] way, uh this is a very international uh

[65:14] crowd. We've got some folks from Mumbai

[65:15] here. We've got some Scotland. And I got

[65:17] to talk a little bit about Scotland.

[65:18] What town? Aberdeen.

[65:19] >> Aberdeen. So both of you came in this

[65:21] morning, right? It's cuz when I was a

[65:22] kid, I started school in Ellon, which is

[65:24] very close.

[65:25] >> Yeah. All right. So how come say um say

[65:27] good morning, America. Good morning,

[65:28] America. And I say good morning. How

[65:30] come I don't have that really great,

[65:31] cool accent that you have that makes

[65:33] everything sound better. Let's get to

[65:34] the boards. Two days of accents now. We

[65:36] talked about it yesterday, too. Let's

[65:37] get to the boards. We're going to show

[65:38] you exactly what's going on this

[65:39] morning. We're watching the Storm Track.

[65:41] And we just can't shake this pattern.

[65:43] Jet Stream riding too low in the country

[65:44] for this time of year. Every storm

[65:46] system passes the exact same direction

[65:48] until we shake it. We've got another low

[65:50] that moves through and one more that

[65:52] follows on Sunday. So it looks like

[65:53] we'll try to clear off the Eastern

[65:55] Seaboard by right around Mother's Day.

[65:56] We'll try to shake that pattern. And

[65:58] hopefully next week we'll get into a

[65:59] whole different looking level here. But

[66:01] for today, it's hot in South Florida.

[66:03] It's hot in South Texas. It's about the

[66:04] only spots that it's dry. Continued hot

[66:06] and dry as well, though, into the

[66:07] Southwest. Everybody else cool into the

[66:10] Northwest and watching the storms cross

[66:11] from the middle of the country right to

[66:12] the East Coast. That's the weather

[66:13] around the nation. Here's what you can

[66:15] expect this morning.

[66:16] Good morning, everyone. Today's weather

[66:17] [music] forecast, well, it looks like

[66:19] the rain will finally end later today.

[66:21] We start out at 47. We'll see some heavy

[66:23] downpours at times. With the showers

[66:25] coming through, [music] 54 by noon. High

[66:27] of 60° today. Generally, though, you can

[66:30] get out and take [music] a walk.

[66:31] Tomorrow, even better. Morning fog,

[66:33] afternoon sunshine, high of 66. Dry and

[66:36] sunny [music] on Saturday and Sunday for

[66:38] Mother's Day. Rain returning on Monday

[66:41] with highs dropping back down to the

[66:42] upper 50s [music] and low 60s.

[66:48] More weather from Times Square in the

[66:49] next half hour. But who are we missing,

[66:50] gang? Robin!

[66:52] Down, Robin. No, come on. Oh, but you're

[66:55] here with us. You're we're we're here

[66:56] with us. Thank you so much, Sam. As you

[66:58] can tell, we're all primed and ready.

[67:00] Not just yet, though, to cut the ribbon

[67:03] cuz we want to let people know what this

[67:05] means to so many. Because all across the

[67:07] country, the Boys and Girls Club of

[67:09] America really makes a difference, a

[67:12] a tremendous impact. In fact, its

[67:14] members say 51% of the members say they

[67:16] reach a higher level level of education

[67:19] than they ever expected for themselves.

[67:21] And right here on the Mississippi Gulf

[67:23] Coast, we have been waiting for this

[67:25] moment after Hurricane Katrina almost 4

[67:27] years ago. And so before we cut the

[67:29] ribbon, we want to let you know what

[67:31] this club means to the children here.

[67:38] >> [music]

[67:39] >> Hi, my name is Monae Howard.

[67:41] >> My name is Gabriella Quavis.

[67:42] >> My name is Chandler Bang.

[67:43] >> And I've been a member of the Boys and

[67:44] Girls Club for 5 years.

[67:46] >> For 8 years. For 4 years. For 5 years.

[67:48] [music] For 7 years.

[67:51] These are just a few of the 165 members

[67:54] [music] of the Boys and Girls Club in

[67:56] Pass Christian.

[67:57] Since it first opened its doors in 1999,

[68:00] the club has [music] been an

[68:01] after-school safe haven for kids in the

[68:03] area and much more.

[68:06] For unit [music] director Jackie Payne

[68:07] McGee, the goal is simple. We want them

[68:10] to be productive citizens in our society

[68:13] and more so in our community. I like the

[68:15] Boys and Girls Club because I can always

[68:17] [music] go there and just be myself.

[68:19] Nothing to hide, nothing to run away

[68:21] from. The Boys and Girls Club is more

[68:24] than just

[68:26] a daycare for [music] your kids. It

[68:27] teaches them about life. It teaches them

[68:29] about

[68:30] art. It teaches them stuff that they

[68:32] want to learn.

[68:33] It's really cool.

[68:37] >> [music]

[68:37] >> When Hurricane Katrina hit in 2005, the

[68:40] original club was destroyed and [music]

[68:42] many of the kids were at a loss. I miss

[68:45] being to see my friends after school and

[68:48] relaxing and stuff like that instead of

[68:49] going straight home. It was very sad

[68:52] because we had done so much there and it

[68:55] was all gone. But then donations began

[68:58] to pour in from all over the world to

[69:00] help rebuild the club. I'd also like to

[69:02] present this check

[69:03] >> [music]

[69:04] >> for you to rebuild the Pass Christian

[69:06] Club for $500,000.

[69:08] The Walt Disney [music] Company, the

[69:10] parent company of ABC News, donated $1

[69:13] million to the Boys and Girls Clubs of

[69:15] the Gulf Coast [music] in addition to

[69:17] $500,000 to the club in the Pass. And

[69:20] the country of Qatar donated $5 million

[69:22] from their $100 [music] Katrina Fund.

[69:26] For the kids, the news was a blessing.

[69:28] It was a life lesson because during the

[69:29] storm, we learned about how other people

[69:32] have helped [music] us. It made me

[69:33] appreciate more of my life. A new

[69:36] appreciation for life that led club

[69:38] members to be more active in their own

[69:39] community and to think of others in

[69:42] need.

[69:42] >> Even though they've gone through all

[69:43] this, they still want to help other

[69:45] people.

[69:46] Uh malaria walk, they've [music] done a

[69:47] walk in the community and raised many

[69:50] funds for children in Africa and they're

[69:52] still thinking of things that they can

[69:53] do every day to help other people. Now

[69:56] with the memories of their old club

[69:58] fading, their new club is ready.

[70:01] >> [music]

[70:01] >> New memories to be made and life

[70:03] lessons. I think our new Boys and Girls

[70:06] Club is going to be awesome because we

[70:09] [music] have pool tables and all those

[70:13] fun games and we also have new

[70:15] classrooms. I was [music] just like,

[70:17] finally a place of our own and when I

[70:19] got to see it for the first time, then I

[70:20] was like, oh, this is more than [music]

[70:22] we need. I'm so happy.

[70:30] And now we have finally reached that

[70:32] moment and so many people to thank and

[70:35] so many people that are here. My mom,

[70:37] Lucy Marion Taliver Roberts along with

[70:39] my father helped establish the original

[70:42] Boys and Girls Club. Governor Haley

[70:44] Barbour is here. His beautiful wife,

[70:46] Marsha Barbour is here. We also have Wes

[70:49] Boler from the Boys and Girls Club and

[70:51] Doris Bletcher from the Boys and Girls

[70:53] Club as well. And Mr. Hamid al-Dasari

[70:56] Dasari Yes. from the country of Qatar.

[70:59] They have donated this country, a

[71:00] hundred million dollars to the Katrina

[71:02] fund all along this region and we

[71:05] appreciate what you have helped to do

[71:07] here. Roxanne Spillit, the president of

[71:09] the Boys and Girls Club of America is

[71:12] here. Sam Sam Burke, thank you. Boys and

[71:15] Girls Club of the of the Gulf Coast and

[71:17] Aneeka Billings, she is the youth of the

[71:20] year. So we are all set. East Biloxi

[71:23] Boys and Girls Club, hit us with a drum

[71:25] roll. Hit us with a drum roll.

[71:28] One,

[71:29] two,

[71:31] three.

[71:32] Let's open. [cheering]

[71:33] Come on in.

[71:35] Let's go. Go. Let's get it. It's

[71:37] officially open.

[71:40] Let's go.

[71:41] Oh.

[71:42] Oh boy, here we go.

[71:45] There you go.

[71:47] Yes, you can.

[71:48] You can go inside. It's all yours.

[71:51] Oh, I can't wait to show you inside,

[71:54] Chris, Diane and Sam. It is absolutely

[71:57] spectacular but just the the community

[71:59] effort with everybody to help this

[72:01] moment

[72:02] become a reality means so much to so

[72:04] many.

[72:06] Every single

[72:08] every single piece of steel there says

[72:10] we care and that's the great thing. It's

[72:13] just great. So many people coming to get

[72:15] Look at all those kids running in there.

[72:16] That's what it's all about.

[72:18] >> [laughter]

[72:20] >> You wait and wait till you see inside.

[72:22] It is just It's amazing all the

[72:24] different areas and it's just so

[72:26] important. And later we're going to

[72:27] we're going to tell you why it is so

[72:29] important to have uh facilities like

[72:31] this and what it means to a lot of the

[72:34] young people all across the country. You

[72:35] better get in there or you're never

[72:36] going to get a pool game.

[72:42] We're running from New York, okay? It's

[72:44] gorgeous architecture, too. That thing

[72:46] is spectacular. It means so much to the

[72:48] kids. Now coming up next, our great

[72:50] friend from O magazine, [music] Gayle

[72:51] King, joining us live to talk about the

[72:53] Elizabeth Edwards interview. Today is

[72:56] the day. It's on Oprah.

[72:58] That's coming up.

[73:16] >> [music]

[73:25] [music]

[73:28] >> Italia,

[73:30] much more.

[73:35] Lights. Lights. Bye.

[73:37] Bye, guys.

[73:39] >> [music]

[73:41] >> I love you, too. A card, just 99 cents.

[73:44] It's the biggest little thing you can

[73:46] do. I did actually look at a couple

[73:48] other sites but they kind of seemed like

[73:50] digital version of a bar. It just didn't

[73:52] seem to be really effective. Other

[73:54] dating sites just give you a picture

[73:55] [music] and a paragraph. At eHarmony, we

[73:57] match you with pre-screened singles

[73:59] based on 29 dimensions of compatibility

[74:02] proven to be the foundation for happy,

[74:03] [music] long-term relationships. It

[74:05] didn't seem as shallow as some of the

[74:07] other websites.

[74:08] >> That was the beautiful thing about

[74:09] eHarmony [music] that you can go much

[74:10] deeper. Experience the eHarmony

[74:23] they're made with Splenda and no calorie

[74:25] sweetener. Sweet.

[76:49] As we said, today is the day and

[76:51] everybody is talking about Oprah

[76:53] Winfrey's interview with Elizabeth

[76:55] Edwards. It will be on her show today

[76:58] and you can of course see more of it in

[77:01] O magazine which is coming out next

[77:03] week. It's the June issue and joining us

[77:04] now with an exclusive preview, O

[77:06] magazine editor-at-large, Gayle King.

[77:08] Good morning. Can I tell you the

[77:09] interview to this afternoon is not going

[77:11] to disappoint. It is not I I can't wait

[77:14] for people to see it and draw their own

[77:16] conclusions. It will not disappoint.

[77:18] >> riveting. You were there for it and at

[77:20] one point he walks in.

[77:21] >> Yes. Tell me about that moment. Well,

[77:23] when when Oprah first arrived, they both

[77:25] came out to greet her. You know, there

[77:26] was a lot of scuttlebutt, is he going to

[77:28] be there, is he not going to be there

[77:29] from people on the outside, is he still

[77:31] living in the house? Yes, he's still

[77:32] living in the house. Yes, they are still

[77:34] together and so they both came out to

[77:36] greet Oprah when when when we pulled up

[77:38] to the house. So yeah, he was definitely

[77:40] there.

[77:41] >> as they always were or is it different?

[77:43] Because she said at one point, you know,

[77:44] we're it's day by day in effect.

[77:46] >> Yeah, she did say it's day by day and

[77:48] when Oprah asked, do you love him, she

[77:50] said it's complicated. But uh you it was

[77:52] very clear that Elizabeth Edwards loves

[77:55] her family

[77:56] and loves the family life that she has

[77:58] and wants to preserve that. That was

[78:00] very clear. So many questions for you.

[78:02] Is this true what I read that she asked

[78:05] one thing? Mhm. That We have a clip of

[78:07] that, right?

[78:08] >> Uh not of this moment but where she

[78:10] asked that the name of the woman he was

[78:13] involved with, Rielle Hunter, yes, not

[78:15] to be mentioned.

[78:16] >> Yes, and Oprah not to be said to her.

[78:17] Yes, and Oprah asked her, why did you

[78:19] ask that? And she said, because you

[78:22] know, you you get all sorts of things

[78:23] going into the interview and we weren't

[78:25] really sure, did she really make that

[78:27] request? And she said, well, I believe

[78:29] when someone is trying to destroy my

[78:31] family and trying to destroy my life, I

[78:33] don't want to bring that person into the

[78:35] light and this book, Resilence, is not

[78:37] about her. It is about my family. I want

[78:41] to play a couple of clips because as you

[78:43] know, this morning, there is a report

[78:45] out and we'll see if we can confirm it.

[78:47] There's a report out that Rielle Hunter

[78:49] in fact is now going to have a DNA test

[78:51] because this interview has made her so

[78:54] angry and part of it of course is

[78:56] uh the whole question of paternity has

[78:58] been raised in a new way. First

[79:00] Elizabeth Edwards and then we'll play

[79:01] after that John Edwards denying it

[79:03] earlier. Mhm.

[79:06] The other woman has a baby.

[79:07] That's what I understand.

[79:09] And there is great speculation

[79:12] that your husband, John Edwards, is the

[79:13] father of that baby. Right.

[79:15] That's what I understand.

[79:17] I've seen a picture of the baby. I have

[79:18] no idea. It doesn't look like my

[79:19] children but I don't have any idea.

[79:22] You must have thought You must have

[79:24] thought, is it or is it not?

[79:27] I know that it's not possible that this

[79:29] child could be mine because of the

[79:31] timing of events. So, I know it's not

[79:34] possible.

[79:35] Which raises the question, why did she

[79:38] do this? Did Did Did she know that she

[79:41] was risking provoking this whole other

[79:43] round? Well, you know, the name of the

[79:45] book is called resilience. And say what

[79:48] you will about Elizabeth Edwards, she is

[79:49] not a Mausberger woman. And I think she

[79:52] does not want to be portrayed as a

[79:53] long-suffering wife. I think she wanted

[79:55] people to know how she was feeling and

[79:57] what she was thinking. But the whole

[79:59] paternity question, you know, when I

[80:01] tell you that Oprah asked every question

[80:02] you want to know, she went all the way

[80:04] there with anything you can imagine. And

[80:06] Elizabeth Edwards answered every single

[80:08] question that was asked of her. And I

[80:10] think she really wanted to The baby

[80:12] question in particular because John

[80:13] Edwards has so vehemently denied it. And

[80:16] you know, when the story first broke,

[80:18] we were all told that she's that they're

[80:21] willing to take a paternity test.

[80:22] Remember John Edwards said, "I will take

[80:24] the paternity test." And Rielle Hunter

[80:26] said, "No, I don't want a paternity

[80:27] test." So, if this is in fact true, I

[80:29] heard the same story on the way over

[80:31] here. If this is in fact true, that is a

[80:33] very interesting development in the

[80:34] story.

[80:35] And she did also talk about cancer and

[80:39] mortality and the hope that some

[80:42] someday in heaven there is a

[80:45] a family there.

[80:46] >> Yeah, and she talked about the death of

[80:47] her son Wade, too, and uh the effect

[80:49] that that's had on her. And nothing, she

[80:51] says, can be harder than that. Columnist

[80:53] Maureen Dowd of The New York Times was

[80:55] very tough, saying

[80:57] she was a participant in the decision to

[81:00] run.

[81:00] >> Mhm. And there were a lot of people who

[81:02] worked 24 hours a day not knowing there

[81:04] was a bombshell underneath their

[81:05] campaign. How are we supposed to feel

[81:07] about that? Yeah. That was Oprah asked

[81:09] that question, too, and her answer to

[81:11] that was, "Well,

[81:13] he may have disappointed as a man,

[81:14] paraphrasing here, but I still believe

[81:17] that he was a very good candidate." And

[81:19] a lot of people can go, "How could you

[81:20] believe that?" And

[81:23] you know, she makes very clear. She

[81:24] says, "When I go out on the campaign

[81:26] stump, after I knew" and she did know,

[81:28] "after I went out on the campaign

[81:30] stump," she said, "I changed my

[81:31] verbage." So, it'll be interesting to

[81:33] see how people view that.

[81:35] >> Mhm. And to go back and trace exactly

[81:37] what she was saying and how she changed.

[81:39] >> I believe people will do that. I think

[81:40] that you'll be seeing clips date of and

[81:43] to see exactly what she said. But she

[81:44] said, "I always believed in him as a

[81:46] candidate, always." All right. Well,

[81:48] Gayle King again, O magazine out next

[81:50] week and the interview The interview is

[81:54] today.

[81:55] Robin in her hometown when we come back.

[81:58] Is that it? No.

[82:00] Hey, uh we're looking for these great

[82:43] Every day about 30 women in the US learn

[82:46] that they have cervical cancer. That's

[82:47] why I chose to get my daughter

[82:49] vaccinated. I chose to get my daughter

[82:51] vaccinated when her doctor and I agreed

[82:53] that the right time to protect her is

[82:54] now because it's about prevention. Nice.

[82:57] Gardasil is the only cervical cancer

[82:59] vaccine helps protect against four types

[83:01] of HPV. Two types of cause 70% of

[83:03] cervical cancer and two [music] more

[83:04] types that cause other HPV diseases.

[83:06] >> I chose to get my daughter vaccinated

[83:08] because the CDC recommends that girls

[83:10] her age get vaccinated.

[83:13] Gardasil does not treat cervical cancer

[83:15] or other HPV diseases. Side effects

[83:17] include pain, swelling, itching,

[83:19] bruising, and redness at the injection

[83:21] site. Headache, fever, nausea,

[83:22] dizziness, vomiting, and fainting.

[83:24] Gardasil is not for women who are

[83:25] pregnant.

[83:26] >> Gardasil may not fully protect everyone

[83:28] and does not prevent all kinds of

[83:29] cervical cancer. So, it's important to

[83:31] continue routine cervical cancer

[83:33] screenings. I chose to get my daughter

[83:35] vaccinated because I want her to be one

[83:37] less woman affected by cervical cancer.

[83:39] >> One less. Gardasil. Ask your daughter's

[83:41] doctor about Gardasil.

[85:01] This [music] is K2 news this morning on

[85:04] your side.

[85:06] Good morning, everybody. 8:25 here on

[85:07] Thursday. I'm Kara Click. Plans for a

[85:09] baseball stadium in the Rose Quarter

[85:11] going to strike out. Mayor Sam Adams

[85:13] told the Oregonian that the stadium for

[85:14] the Portland Beavers will not be built

[85:16] there. He says the current plans will

[85:18] save the Memorial Coliseum. Adams said

[85:20] the Lents neighborhood is really the

[85:22] only option for a new home for the

[85:24] Beavers. A neighbor there that we spoke

[85:26] with on K2 news this morning has some

[85:27] concerns. This would really be more

[85:30] commercial property when you start

[85:32] bringing that uh many people in here.

[85:35] Uh I'm just hoping it'll work out. I'm a

[85:37] concerned uh neighbor.

[85:40] Well, the Beavers will have to go

[85:41] someplace if Major League Soccer comes

[85:44] to PGE Park. A Clackamas County woman is

[85:47] recovering after being kicked by a horse

[85:49] several times. Amy Erickson was at a

[85:52] stable trying to free a horse stuck to a

[85:54] gate when it kicked her.

[85:56] She was on the ground in the driveway

[85:58] for more than an hour and a half when

[86:00] she called 911, but she couldn't really

[86:02] be heard by the dispatchers. They had

[86:04] trouble finding her address.

[86:07] If we wouldn't have found her sooner, I

[86:08] think the internal injuries she had

[86:10] would have potentially

[86:13] uh ended her life.

[86:15] Family members said off camera that the

[86:18] horse kicked Erickson in the stomach.

[86:20] They expect her to be home from the

[86:21] hospital today.

[86:23] I also want to remind you that two

[86:24] Oregon police officers killed in the

[86:26] line of duty will be honored in Salem

[86:28] today. Oregon State Trooper William

[86:30] Hackem and Woodburn Police Captain Tom

[86:33] Tennant died when that bomb went off

[86:34] outside the West Coast Bank branch last

[86:37] December.

[86:38] Their names are going to be added to the

[86:39] Oregon law enforcement officers memorial

[86:41] wall. Their names are already on a

[86:43] national memorial in Washington, D.C.

[86:47] We're going to have a better day today

[86:48] than we did yesterday. Finally, some of

[86:49] that rain's going to clear up. Ronda's

[86:51] in charge of the shower patrol today.

[86:53] Yeah, this is a kind of a transition day

[86:54] for us. We'll see less showers as the

[86:56] day wears on. Here's a look outside,

[86:58] though, right now at the uh U Umpqua

[87:00] U.S. Bank Court Tower camera, where we

[87:02] have had a few showers come through just

[87:04] in the last few minutes. They're widely

[87:06] scattered this morning, though. Some of

[87:07] them could end up being heavy.

[87:09] Temperatures right now uh generally are

[87:12] in the 40s, and you can see those

[87:14] scattered showers are generally over the

[87:15] Coast Range, where they've been most of

[87:17] the morning, but a few will drift over

[87:19] into the city. And as I mentioned,

[87:20] because of the instability, a couple of

[87:22] them could be heavy. 45 or so is where

[87:24] we start out in the morning, then we're

[87:26] up to 54° by noon. Looking for a high of

[87:28] 60, reached at 5:00 p.m. Tomorrow will

[87:31] be completely dry, and so will be

[87:32] Saturday. You might see some patchy fog

[87:34] in the morning tomorrow with a high of

[87:36] 66, 68, and gorgeous on Saturday.

[87:39] Mother's Day is also going to stay dry

[87:42] with a high of 65. Go ahead and make the

[87:44] outdoor plans for the weekend, but it

[87:45] will start raining again by the first

[87:47] part of next week. Have a great day,

[90:34] I'm out of breath. You have to talk.

[90:36] >> You do a big run.

[90:38] You would not believe [laughter] what

[90:39] Diane does to get down here. You know,

[90:41] cuz this is downstairs. We're usually

[90:42] upstairs. And look what she has to run

[90:44] down the stairs. And but she does it

[90:45] just for you. Diane, [laughter] Sam,

[90:47] Chris, Robin, of course, in her hometown

[90:49] of Pass Christian this morning. And the

[90:50] kids just loving that. Boys and girls

[90:52] club.

[90:54] Wow.

[90:54] >> Yeah, we're we're inside. It's uh Sam,

[90:56] it's a lot cooler inside. You [laughter]

[90:58] know, that community you were talking

[90:59] about earlier?

[91:00] >> Yep. But it's a lot cooler. We're going

[91:01] to take you on a tour in a little bit.

[91:03] And you saw Emeril. We ate the crew and

[91:06] I at Emeril's restaurant here on the

[91:07] coast last night. They put a hurting on

[91:09] us because food is so big here on the

[91:12] coast. And we're going to have a

[91:13] crawfish boil.

[91:17] Crawfish boil coming up. And also, guys,

[91:20] we're going to tell you about how uh a

[91:22] teacher here on the coast has used art

[91:25] to help people young people deal with

[91:27] the trauma following Hurricane Katrina.

[91:29] So, we will show you that and show you

[91:31] around this new place in just a little

[91:33] bit, okay?

[91:34] It's so beautiful.

[91:37] With their mouths dropped open here.

[91:39] Yeah. There they go. They are off. And

[91:41] okay, what do you get, guys, when you

[91:43] mix the world's most popular sport, that

[91:45] would be soccer, of course, with two

[91:47] international movie stars and new dads

[91:50] and best friends since they were about 9

[91:52] years old, Gael García Bernal and Diego

[91:55] Luna join us and they're going to tell

[91:57] you about a new movie which has so much

[91:59] laughter in it.

[92:04] But do it in high heels.

[92:06] >> [laughter]

[92:06] >> That's my test for everything this

[92:08] morning. Sam's got the weather. Do it in

[92:10] high heels. No, no. I'll stay flat to

[92:12] the ground. Thanks, Diane. Um yeah,

[92:14] headlines Let's get to the boards. Oh,

[92:15] wait. First, roll that beautiful just

[92:17] one thing music uh because by the way,

[92:20] the EPA has said it's National Drinking

[92:22] Water Week this week. So, it's a perfect

[92:24] time for us to talk a little bit about

[92:25] getting rid of these. [music] Getting

[92:27] rid of the plastic bottles. I'm as

[92:28] guilty as anybody else, but Americans

[92:30] use 50 billion plastic water bottles in

[92:32] 2006. Just pick a year. 2006 is the year

[92:35] we picked and there were 50 billion of

[92:37] them used. Now, only 38 billion were

[92:39] sent to landfills where they'll sit for

[92:41] a thousand years. And if you kind of add

[92:43] up the oil it takes to make those

[92:45] bottles and amount it takes to transport

[92:47] it, that's 912 million gallons of oil.

[92:50] You want to save oil?

[92:51] Get rid of these is what we're saying.

[92:53] And now you're saying, "Well, what do we

[92:54] do?" Well, already we're seeing some

[92:56] packaging changes. These recyclable

[92:59] paper packages are now holding bottled

[93:01] water.

[93:02] So, if you feel like you need to buy the

[93:04] water at a grocery store, then you can

[93:06] do it this way because these can go

[93:08] right in the recycling bin. The other

[93:09] thing is, if you just want to drink your

[93:11] water your city water, and I will tell

[93:13] you that most of it in America is better

[93:15] than good. It's good good good water.

[93:17] But if you feel like you've got to

[93:18] filter it, now they're making these

[93:20] bottles. These are the ones that don't

[93:21] leach out any of the chemicals in it.

[93:23] They're that grade of plastic that's

[93:24] okay and reusable. So, you'll be using

[93:26] this all the time. Look, it's got a

[93:27] little filter in the top of it. And they

[93:29] also have filters you can put in other

[93:31] water bottles as well. So, drink your

[93:34] water. We'll all try to get rid of

[93:36] these. This is the next packaging wave.

[93:38] Is it perfect? No, it's not perfect, but

[93:39] it's better than that. Let's get to the

[93:41] boards. We'll show you exactly I'm

[93:42] telling me just as much as I'm telling

[93:43] you cuz I'm still still drinking out of

[93:45] plastic bottles every now and then.

[93:47] Uh on the board, we've got those storms

[93:48] that are in the plains and the Midwest.

[93:50] And we've also got them into the

[93:51] Southeast. They will fire up this

[93:53] afternoon. If there's going to be

[93:54] tornadoes in these storms, we feel like

[93:56] it's more likely in that Arkansas,

[93:57] Missouri area, maybe even in that

[93:59] northern corner of Texas and southern

[94:00] Illinois. We continue to watch those

[94:02] strong winds which will fire up again in

[94:04] southern California around the Santa

[94:05] Barbara area this afternoon. That's the

[94:06] weather around the nation. And your just

[94:08] one thing,

[94:09] >> [cheering]

[94:09] >> here's what you can expect this morning.

[94:11] I'm meteorologist Rob Shelby. Here's a

[94:13] look at your regional forecast. [music]

[94:15] Scattered heavy showers and sun breaks

[94:17] today around the area. Highs near 60 in

[94:19] the city, 50s along the coast, [music]

[94:21] and near 60 in central eastern Oregon.

[94:26] >> [music]

[94:27] >> And we want to thank Thank you, gang. We

[94:29] want to thank Better Homes and Gardens

[94:31] for helping us come up with the idea for

[94:32] the water bottles and everything like

[94:33] that. And that weather was brought to

[94:35] you by the National Association of

[94:36] Realtors. Robin?

[94:38] All right, Sam. Wish you were here with

[94:40] us, Sam. All of you all. I have Sydney

[94:42] Labat, though. She is going to be my

[94:44] personal

[94:45] tour guide and ambassador here at the

[94:47] brand new Boys and Girls Club of Pass

[94:50] Christian. So, Sydney, look around here

[94:52] a little bit. What do we see What are we

[94:54] seeing here? Um well, here this is the

[94:56] game room area. There are pool tables,

[94:59] air hockey tables. There's going to be

[95:01] another one here. And there's some

[95:02] benches where we can all just, you know,

[95:04] relax and

[95:05] >> Some room you were talking about.

[95:06] >> Yeah. Uh we have a lot of room. Lot of

[95:08] elbow room. More than what we've had

[95:10] been having from right now. Yeah, and

[95:12] there's some craft tables. And this is

[95:14] really cool. You see This is a gourmet

[95:16] kitchen. And they're going to be

[95:18] teaching you all about nutrition, right?

[95:19] Eating right? Eating healthy?

[95:21] And um

[95:22] there here at the bar, there's going to

[95:25] be We're going to have like a lot of

[95:26] things going on in display-wise. And

[95:28] what I thought was really cool about it

[95:30] is that these right here are cameras.

[95:32] And they hook up to the TVs here. And

[95:34] it's going to be kind of like cooking

[95:35] show. And that, you know, the chef can

[95:38] And it's connected to the internet. So,

[95:39] the chef can like look up a recipe and

[95:41] people follow along.

[95:43] I thought that was really cool about it.

[95:44] Oh, that's wonderful. Well, I got to

[95:46] tell you, there's also a second level

[95:48] that we're going to show you as well.

[95:49] There's an art room. There's a computer

[95:51] room. There's There's a so much going

[95:53] on. And the reason we we bring up about

[95:54] art because there's a teacher here

[95:57] in Biloxi, Mississippi. And she knows

[95:59] that by using art, it can really help

[96:02] children get through the trauma of

[96:03] something like a hurricane.

[96:08] Dear Katrina, you scared my cats [music]

[96:10] and hurt lots of people. I do not like

[96:12] you at all and never want to see you

[96:13] again.

[96:15] Dear Katrina, I do not like you because

[96:18] you spat muddy water into [music]

[96:19] people's homes and dropped a tree on my

[96:22] roof.

[96:23] Dear Katrina, you need to stay away from

[96:25] the Gulf Coast forever. [music]

[96:28] Dark images and harsh words from

[96:30] students of Woolmarket Elementary School

[96:32] in Biloxi, [music] Mississippi

[96:34] immediately after Hurricane Katrina

[96:35] struck, confronting the storm that tore

[96:38] their world apart.

[96:40] >> Nothing you do in teacher training

[96:41] prepares [music] you for this. Everybody

[96:46] has the same picture in their

[96:47] >> Like so many school teachers, Shirley

[96:49] Harmon was desperate to find a way to

[96:51] help her [music] students. She turned to

[96:53] art. I researched as much as I could on

[96:56] dealing with

[96:57] children and trauma and found that the

[96:59] best way

[97:01] that I would be able to deal with this

[97:02] is by using art to help the children

[97:05] express themselves.

[97:06] >> Create something so that when somebody

[97:08] [music] else looks at it, they're going

[97:10] to say, "Aha." With children, when they

[97:13] actually make a concrete image of what

[97:15] it is, it's easier to deal with it once

[97:18] [music] they're able to see what it is.

[97:21] For the students, drawing began the

[97:23] healing process. It helped me vent.

[97:27] It helped me get all my

[97:29] >> [music]

[97:29] >> anger or

[97:31] just not being happy over the storm and

[97:35] sadness.

[97:36] It just let everything [music]

[97:38] flow onto the

[97:39] onto the paper

[97:41] and it made me feel so much better.

[97:46] And everybody understood it, so I didn't

[97:48] have [music] to say anything

[97:50] cuz I just didn't like to talk about it.

[97:53] I could keep it to myself or [music] I

[97:54] could give it to

[97:57] people to look at.

[98:00] And when Hurricane [music] Gustav

[98:01] threatened the region last September,

[98:03] Harmon and her students once again

[98:05] turned to art.

[98:08] Take a look. This time the children were

[98:10] less anxious. [music]

[98:12] Dark images of hurricanes were now

[98:14] bright and colorful. Lessons from

[98:16] Katrina [music] guided them through the

[98:17] threat of another storm. Now, I'm not

[98:20] as much afraid of hurricanes as I

[98:22] [music] used to be.

[98:24] Especially not the little ones.

[98:28] For these students, lessons from art

[98:30] class go far beyond bracing for the next

[98:33] hurricane.

[98:34] Now I know that if I'm upset about

[98:36] something, [music] I can just go and

[98:37] draw and it makes me feel better.

[98:44] Isn't that remarkable, the difference

[98:47] the difference like that. I'd like to

[98:49] thank our friends at the Sun Herald for

[98:50] letting us know about that story. And

[98:52] this is another part of the Boys and

[98:55] Girls Club [screaming]

[98:56] of Pass Christian, a brand new

[98:58] gymnasium. And it looked Oh, he's just

[99:01] laying down. And we should say that the

[99:04] boys team here in the past, three A

[99:07] state champions. [screaming]

[99:09] State champions in basketball for the

[99:11] first time in school history and we have

[99:14] the proof right right here.

[99:16] Congratulations. State champions, right?

[99:19] The state champions.

[99:21] What was that like because just a, you

[99:23] know, a few years ago you didn't even

[99:24] have a gym, you didn't even have

[99:26] uniforms following Katrina and now to

[99:28] bring home the state championship. It

[99:29] feels great, you know, we had to deal

[99:31] with a whole lot of adversity coming

[99:33] through these past couple years, but we

[99:35] came in the gym, we worked hard and we

[99:36] got it done. What kind of joy did it

[99:38] bring to the folks here in the past? It

[99:40] was crazy when we got back home,

[99:42] everybody was congratulating us. It was

[99:44] It was indescribable how we felt. Now,

[99:47] how can this new beautiful gym help with

[99:50] the Boys and Girls Club? I mean, what if

[99:52] you had this to to train on when you

[99:54] were their size? I mean, this is

[99:55] gorgeous, isn't it? Yes, ma'am. You

[99:57] know, if we had this to train on, we'd

[99:59] be much better.

[100:00] You were just fine. Gentlemen, thank you

[100:02] very much. Congratulations and I know

[100:04] the girls have made it to to state

[100:06] along, but you have taken home the state

[100:08] championship. I'm going to go over back

[100:09] over here to my mother and my sister

[100:12] because this is I I'll take you. Don't

[100:14] You want You want Come on. Come on. You

[100:16] want to something? I'll do it. Hold on.

[100:18] Cuz I'll do it. I'll, you know, I'll do

[100:19] it. But it is

[100:22] I can't believe I moved that fast. But

[100:24] um it is wonderful to be here and this

[100:27] is just um a tremendous [cheering] boost

[100:30] for the people on the Gulf Coast. Diane,

[100:58] well, it's it's specifically named after

[101:00] my mother and father and the reason why

[101:03] they wanted it to be the gymnasium. The

[101:05] the the people of the Boys and Girls

[101:07] Club were very very kind in asking us to

[101:10] But why, mom, did you want it to be the

[101:11] gym? Because

[101:13] it symbolizes all that kids do and it's

[101:17] just beautiful. Of course, I see you, I

[101:20] see my grandson. It's It's just

[101:23] It's just wonderful.

[101:47] the school and this is a huge complex at

[101:49] the Boys and Girls Club a part of with

[101:51] my sister and education is very

[101:53] important. And so And there's also a

[105:18] pronunciation?

[105:18] >> No, you said it really well. Yeah, yeah.

[105:20] And they are brothers in the movies and

[105:23] brothers in real life. Effective

[105:25] brothers, you really have known each

[105:27] other since the crib because your

[105:28] parents knew each other. They met me

[105:30] when I was born, basically.

[105:31] >> Yeah, welcomed him to the world.

[105:32] >> Yes, but of all It was one of the first

[105:34] images I saw and it was very scary.

[105:37] Yeah. It very is. But of all the things

[105:40] you have done in tandem,

[105:42] having babies. You have two boys. Yeah.

[105:45] You have a 4-month-old boy now and you

[105:47] have a 9-month-old boy.

[105:49] >> Lázaro and Jerónimo? Yes. Yeah. How did

[105:54] grow up and then have baby boys at the

[105:56] same time as best friends?

[105:57] >> at the same time. Fortunately, not

[105:58] together. Yeah, it's crazy. But

[106:00] >> [laughter]

[106:01] >> yeah, we And I we were on the phone

[106:02] like, "Hey, are you ready?"

[106:04] "I am." Then

[106:06] You know, control is not that easy, so

[106:08] Exactly. Mine [laughter] is a little bit

[106:10] older and I took longer.

[106:15] >> [laughter]

[106:15] >> When you're friends for life, you're

[106:16] friends, you know, Blackberrying each

[106:18] other over the shoulder.

[106:20] >> kind of funny that both our

[106:21] our kids and and that they're going to

[106:23] be friends and it's kind of

[106:25] >> It goes on. It continues for another

[106:27] generation. Does this mean each of you

[106:28] got to approve the others' girlfriends

[106:31] all through? Oh,

[106:33] not only us, but the families, friends.

[106:36] Uh no, yeah.

[106:37] >> [laughter]

[106:38] >> No, actually no. It was very It was very

[106:40] spontaneous. And and now the and now the

[106:43] sort of the the tables have inverted

[106:45] because now his baby is older and he

[106:47] actually was the one that went to to my

[106:51] son and and and stick the finger up his

[106:53] mouth.

[106:54] >> Oh, really?

[106:55] Your son

[106:57] We Yeah, yeah. We have pictures of my

[106:59] kid just abusing

[107:01] >> [laughter]

[107:02] >> But again, the movie is so charming and

[107:05] so

[107:06] it's hard to encapsulate unless you know

[107:08] that two brothers have each other's

[107:10] soccer fate in their hands and they also

[107:12] [clears throat] have their little

[107:14] aspirations separately and yours is to

[107:17] be a singer.

[107:18] >> Yeah. And just start. Unfortunately,

[107:20] with the accordion.

[107:22] >> [laughter]

[107:23] >> And you make a music video. Can we play

[107:25] just a little bit of the music video,

[107:26] which is Quiero que te me quieras? There

[107:29] you go. Yeah. And here it is.

[107:31] >> Oh my god.

[107:32] >> One of the funniest, lamest videos.

[107:38] All right.

[107:40] I don't know if people is ready for

[107:41] this.

[107:42] Too early in the morning. You learned

[107:44] accordion in order to do this? I learned

[107:46] a little bit. Yeah, yeah. Just for the

[107:47] song. I mean,

[107:49] yeah, it's it's a hard instrument to

[107:50] learn.

[107:52] It was painful to be next to him.

[107:54] To be a soccer [music] star and a

[107:56] singing star at the same time.

[107:57] >> Yeah, it's not a good mix. No, no, no.

[107:59] It's tough. It's under the best of

[108:01] circumstances. And do you know that this

[108:03] has now become one of the number [music]

[108:04] one ringtones? Yeah.

[108:06] >> Yeah. People are downloading every day.

[108:08] >> it. I I I was the first one almost.

[108:11] Yeah, yeah, yeah. I have it in my phone

[108:13] and it's it's it's amazing.

[108:16] But now it's everywhere that in Mexico

[108:18] at least the song is everywhere. The

[108:19] amount of of hits in YouTube is is like

[108:23] 2 million people have watched the video.

[108:24] The video clip is crazy. Yeah. So, how

[108:26] do you work it? Do you plan to do a

[108:27] movie together and then you say, "We'll

[108:29] take a break and then we're going to

[108:30] come back and do another one." And is it

[108:32] a holiday when you're doing it together?

[108:34] >> [laughter]

[108:35] >> Well, we we since Y tu mamá también, we

[108:37] we were talking about the idea, not just

[108:39] us, but also with the Cuarón brothers.

[108:42] Carlos is the director and Alfonso

[108:44] producer. But Alfonso was the director

[108:46] in Y tu mamá también and we talked a lot

[108:48] about this, but it took Carlos like 6

[108:50] years to get the script ready. And

[108:54] so, we've been working in this for a

[108:55] long time, but it's also good to give

[108:57] some space, you know, Uh-huh. In

[108:59] between.

[109:00] >> Yeah, yeah.

[109:00] >> So, now you'll be going off again. Have

[109:02] a baby. Yeah, right.

[109:07] seen it, go rent it immediately. It's

[109:09] one of the great movies.

[109:10] >> Yeah, it's beautiful film. Beautiful.

[109:12] And Rudo y Cursi, and Rudo means sort of

[109:15] rough, tough, and Cursi means kind of

[109:17] corny and Corny, kitsch, and cute. And

[109:20] cute. Yes, there you are.

[109:36] crawfish and the Vixens. Coming up next.

[109:45] When I first arrived there, I wanted to

[109:46] go home, in all honesty. That addict in

[109:48] my head was like, "Run." You know,

[109:51] "You're not locked in. This isn't jail.

[109:52] You can run." And I was really scared

[109:54] because it's like this is

[109:56] you know,

[109:56] >> [music]

[109:56] >> being an addict, you know, commitments

[109:58] were easy to break, but this is one of

[110:00] them that

[110:01] that was really tough. You know, I knew

[110:03] [music] that this this is going to

[110:05] change my life, and like any good

[110:06] addict, change you don't like, and I was

[110:08] [music] scared.

[112:14] We almost made it all morning long

[112:16] without the train going by, but we don't

[112:19] mind. Welcome to our crawfish party, and

[112:21] our host is Chef Extraordinaire Steve

[112:29] right?

[112:29] >> Oh, baby, we love crawfish down in

[112:30] Mississippi, you know, there's no doubt

[112:32] about it. And really, one of the big

[112:33] things about crawfish is all the

[112:35] beautiful vegetables you get to put in

[112:36] there, artichokes, sweet potatoes, green

[112:38] tomatoes, jalapenos, all the good stuff.

[112:41] Of course, you got to have some corn and

[112:42] potatoes, all that good stuff. Kind of

[112:44] put them in a pot, you know, you get

[112:45] your seasoning going, and that's kind of

[112:47] clove and coriander, all kind of good

[112:49] stuff going on. That's That's That's

[112:51] where the passion's at. You know, and

[112:52] this is where the test is at is how long

[112:54] can you let them soak until you just
