that may effect the eye. as always, talk to your doctor first. any surgical procedure carries risks. if you're happy with glasses and contact lens, it's probably not worth it to have the procedure. after all, we're here to help you chase life. that's going to wrap things up, but stay connected with me at cnn.com/sanjay. time now though for a check of your top stories making news right now. from cnn world headquarters in atlanta, this is "cnn sunday morning". the intruder has the last remaining female in a head lock and taking her downstairs with a gun pointed to her head. >> a chilling account of a young student shot to death in a home invasi invasion, but it wasn't the suspect who killed her. a very sad story. we'll tell you how this ended. tornadoes, floods and baseball-size hail, there's a

severe weather watch today. we'll tell you what's coming. and we have a winner. the power ball drawing is over, now the search for the new millionaire has begun. we're tracking the winner down. and we'll tell you where the lucky ticket was sold. good morning everyone. i'm poppy harlow. it is 8:00 out here on the east coast. 5:00 a.m. out west. so glad you're with us this sunday morning. we have a winner. lottery officials say a single ticket sold at a public supermarket in zephyr hills. those numbers 22, 10, 13, 14, 52, powerball 11. the jackpot, it is the largest ever for powerball. now, the winner has a tough, oh, such a tough choice to make. do you collect the money over 30 years, or take a lump sum of

$377 million? tough question i suppose. who is the country's newest millionaire? everyone wants to know. cnn's john zarrella is live for us this morning in zephyr hills this morning. i'm assuming we don't know who this person is yet? >> not yet. the person hasn't come forward to our knowledge. they could notify tallahassee, which is ultimately where they'll have to go within 60 days to claim their prize. we've seen a lot of activity in front of the atm this morning. my philosophy on that is if you're going to the atm, you're probably not one of the winners although my photographer's theory is maybe they needed the gas money to go to tallahassee to collect the money. we don't know who the winner is at least not to this point. again, 60 days to show up in tallahassee. and the wise wisdom out there is what you need to do is get your

affairs in order and make sure you have an attorney lined up, make sure you have an accountant lined up so you know what you're going to do with all of that coin. and there's plenty of it. >> you know, john, i wonder, i know it's early still, but what are people going into the publix there saying? i'm kind of wondering if that big chain of grocery stores is going to get any of this prize money. typically some of those mom and pop stores do. >> yeah, they do. and publix will get something. i'm not sure yet. we're trying to check to see exactly how much they'll get. but people we've talked to, for instance, we talked to a couple guys coming in and they asked us what's up? i said, well, the powerball ticket winner was bought in here. and one of the guys said i bought my ticket here. i said, well, do you have it with you? no, it's at home. so he's got to go home and check to see if he maybe had it. there's a couple other people who just came up and they're here on a softball tournament out of south florida and they're

staying at a hotel across the street with the team and they all got together and pooled their money. and they think they bought the ticket here, but they don't have the ticket with them. the guy that's got it is still asleep in the hotel across the street. but they're all excited. they're going to go into the publix, but they don't have the number. so i'm not sure what they think publix is going to be able to do for them. there's quite a bit of activity and a lot of frenzy here already in the town in florida. >> it's so great. the psychology behind it all. i always look at my ticket and get disappointed that i didn't win as if i had any chance at all. great news for whomever it is down there, john. thanks so much. >> sure. folks, severe weather, we've been telling you about it really for all week. violent storms are in store for the plains and midwest today and bring damaging thunderstorms and tornadoes right along with them, like this one. this touched down in roselle,

kansas, yesterday. alexander steele's in the severe weather center. you've been following it all. how are things today? >> a pretty quiet morning compare today where things are going to go. these are the tornadoes that touched down yesterday. reports between about 14 and 17. those will have to get flushed out. maybe there's some repeaters there. but where they were, western nebraska and into kansas as well. also baseball-sized hail. so big hail with this. 70-mile-per-hour winds with this. so here's where they were. let me show you what the radar looks like right now. whether in minneapolis, macon, georgia or montgomery county, maryland, it's here. there's the line of showers and thunderstorms moving through. no tornado watchings or warnings as of yet. but that will change because it's been a very benign season. haven't had a ton of tornadoes and days with numerous tornadoes. today looks like that will change because now all thein

greed yents are coming together. check with the jet stream dip advancing east. we've got the frontal boundaries, cold front, warm front and dry line, which is where the two different air masses converge and thus begin their spinning and rotation. and also ample moisture. and that's what we've been lacking as well. finally, dew points in the 70s. a dew point, all you need to know the higher it is, the more available moisture there is and thus more potent the storms could be. large hail, again baseball-size saw yesterday, bigger than that potentially. 70-mile-per-hour winds, tornadoes likely and strong ones. and bigger cities than yesterday. kansas city, wichita, oklahoma city and then for tomorrow this threat pushes eastward and gets towards chicago and even is also. keeping an eye on it, poppy, as we head toward today and as these watches and warnings unveil themselves. >> i hope it's a quieter day than what we've seen all week. al

alexand alexandra, thank you. >> sure. this just into cnn, some breaking news to tell you about having to do with north korea. a north korea firing off another short-range missile today happening some time sunday afternoon in that time zone. this is according to a report out of the south korean news agency yanhap. the missile was fired away from south korea, we're told. this comes on the heels of yesterday we told you north korea launched three missiles, all of them today's, yesterday's falling into the sea. again, yesterday it was presumed that it was a test, but no warning was given about that test. as soon as we have more information on this of course we'll bring it to you live. let's go to county now where a go-team of federal investigators is working around the clock to pore over the wreckage of two commuter trains. those trains collided during rush hour on friday everyoning. the train line handles more than 250,000 passengers every weekday. it's going to cause major headaches for commuters. a lot of injuries in this as

well. our susan candiotti is live in bridgeport, connecticut. you've been there through it all. any indication at this time of the latest in the investigation and how long it could take? >> not yet, but they are making progress. all night long, poppy, investigators have been meticulously prying apart each of these train cars from each other and rolling them down the tracks so that they can clear the area sew tho that repairs c begin. they've already recovered black boxes from both of the trains that jumped the track. and they'll be trying to figure out a timeline from that. for example, how fast each of the trains was going. they have that information and expect to be revealing it to us later today. but they're also paying special interest to one particular area, take a look. measuring tracks and twisted rails, climbing into and on top of damaged train cars, national

transportation safety board investigators are dissecting every possibility to find out what went wrong. for one thing, they're taking a closer look at a rail fracture below the new york new haven bound train that jumped the tracks before a second train plowed into it from opposite direction. >> it is of substantial interest to us. we'll be sending a portion of that track back to the laboratory in washington, d.c. for analysis. >> for friday night commuters, it was a scare they'll never forget. suddenly a rocky ride, screeching brakes and a violent impact. >> everybody was just kind of flying around the car. >> i was sitting down and i actually lifted up. and you can see the dust like coming from like the other side. >> babies crying and everything. had to go pick them up and everything, they was on the floor. >> everybody screaming. we saw smoke. we didn't know what to expect. >> these photos somehow some

belongings strewn on the floor, some seats in tact with a wall coming down. and through a window a look at the second train crushed alongside. senator blumenthal called it staggering. >> -- tons of metal tossed around like toy things. insides of the cars are shattered. >> as bad as things were, connecticut's governor suggests they could have been worse. >> these are new cars designed to the latest standards. to the best of our knowledge it's the first time that a car like this has been involved in this kind of incident. and by all appearances they responded well. >> and, poppy, nine people remain hospitalized in area hospitals here. one of them in critical condition, but when it initially happened 70 people were injured as a result of what happened here. we can also tell you as you're looking at all of this work going on that these train cars

are the first ones that were built to new safety standards and now have been involved in a crash. so they're also going to be taking a look at how well these cars stood up including the seats for example inside. and do you know that not one of these cars flipped as a result of this collision, this two-train collision? so we'll see what happens. now, the bigger question is what's going to happen come tomorrow morning in particular when a lot of people that normally use this train line will be commuting from work. they'll have to go around all this work that's going on, for example taking buses to work their way around it. they'll probably need a little more time to get to work in the morning. poppy. >> absolutely. susan, our thoughts with all of those. about 70 people injured in that collision. susan candiotti live for us this morning. thanks, susan. hofstra university faces tragedy on graduation weekend. students mourning a classmate shot to death in a home invasion, but it wasn't the suspect who killed that beautiful young woman. and, later, one man lost his home and just about everything he owns during those deadly

investigators are looking into the death of a hofstra university student killed by an officer's bullet, an officer who was trying to save her from an intruder who broke into her home late on friday night. you see her picture right there. her name is andrea rebello. her death has led to questions about how police handled a very dangerous situation that turned into a tragedy. authorities say it was a bullet fired from a police officer's gun that led to the death of hofstra university student andrea rebello. >> let me start off kbi giving my most sincere and heartfelt condolences to the parents of andrea and jessica rebello. >> it happened friday morning during a home invasion robbery at an off campus house the 21-year-old shared with her twin sister and two others.

police went there after a 911 call from someone claiming the gunman ordered them out of the house to get cash from an atm. when police arrived, they say the suspect was holding a gun to rebello's head. >> the officer eventually fired eight rounds in total. seven of those rounds struck our subject, one of those rounds struck the victim. >> police say andrea rebello was shot in the head and died. also killed was the suspect identified by police as 30-year-old dalton smith who they say had an extensive rap sheet and was wanted for jumping parole. rebello was a junior at hofstra university and was majoring in public relations. the news of her death is extremely hard for the people who knew her. >> she was like really popular. like everybody loved her. she was sweet. >> what an all-around nice young woman she was and how she was looking forward to getting an education and going off to college and making something wonderful out of her life. >> absolutely.

well, in north texas recovery efforts continue after a series of killer tornadoes. just take a look. you've seen this devastation over the past few days. the area rancho brazo, six people died in the storm. there are some wonderful and dramatic stories of survival. our randi kaye caught one unexpected reunion on tape. hey, randi. >> morning, poppy. all over town here there are signs for people who lost pets in the tornado directing them to animal shelters and even for those who lost their homes, finding their pets is top priority. when the winds picked up,

granbury resident knew he was in trouble. >> i watch the tree start to buckle over and i said, oh, god no, please, don't let this happen. the wind got so strong. at that point i said, junior, we're in trouble. >> junior is jerry's 6-year-old pit bull, his baby. jerry grabbed him and ran for cover in his mobile home's laundry room. >> i was praying, i said, junior, it will be okay, it will be okay. and i was praying and the house went together, vacuum in and then blew out. the only thing i can figure out is i went upside down holding onto him and he was no more. >> so he was sucked out of your arms? >> right. i never felt him leave my arms, i was over him like this and i'm upside down and he's nowhere to be found. >> jerry was thrown to the ground about 20 feet from his home. >> and for five minutes that tornado was over me going counterclockwise. it was literally setting over me. >> oh, my goodness, what did it look like? >> you can't explain it. let's put it ts way.

slow motion. everything -- all the trash, everything, just moving continuously. and i just layed there and i prayed for junior. and i prayed, god, please protect my puppy. >> when he managed to get up, he was in too much pain to look for his puppy. were you in any shape to look for junior? >> no, because my foot was broke. >> as many as 200 dogs were left homeless after the storm. most were brought here to this animal shelter where volunteers are working hard to try and reunite them with their owners. but without cell phone service or access to the devastated areas, that is no easy task. jerry got lucky though when a shelter employee recognized junior as one of the dogs whose pictures were posted on this facebook page set up for granbury's missing pets. jerry got the call friday morning and rushed right over. >> hey, buddy. hey, junior. >> look there. there's daddy.

>> hey. i've been through it, daddy. oh, you're going to have to have a bath. what happened? you fly through the air? >> finally, the dog ripped from his arms was back in them. come here, baby. come here. look what daddy's got. >> jerry isn't sure where the storm took junior, but he wants his pup to know he's sorry. >> nothing i could do, baby. it jerked you out of my arms. i think he flew through the air. you know, dogs weren't meant to fly, but i bet he had an angel with him. >> junior was a bit banged up from it all. he has a few cuts and bruises, just like jerry who has a broken foot, a bruised skull and a face fit for a boxer. >> you got scratched up too, huh? daddy got scratched up too, yes. >> but none of that matters now. >> we're back together. we're back together. it's okay now. it's okay now. >> jerry lost everything he owns in that storm. he lost 41 trees. he lost his home. all he has is junior and his

truck. for now, he's going to live in a motel with his dog, and, yes, it is pet friendly. and he also says that he hopes to continue to spoil junior by giving him his favorite meal at dinner, kentucky fried chicken. poppy. >> what a great story, randi, thanks so much. all right. so if you are not on the vegan train but thinking about stepping on, coming up next we're going to speak with some leading experts, one able to get president clinton to go vegan, the other able to convince his entire firehouse. when our little girl was born, we got a subaru. it's where she said her first word.

welcome back to "cnn sunday morning," everyone. i'm poppy harlow. bottom of the hour now. here are top stories we're watching this morning for you. we have a winner in the powerball, the largest jackpot ever. lottery officials say a single ticket was sold and was the winning ticket. it was sold at this supermarket in zephyrhills, florida. in case you missed last night's numbers, just waking up, here they are, 22, 10, 13, 14, 52 and the powerball, lucky 11. no word yet on who that winner is, or if it's just a bunch of people on one ticket. investigators are poring over the wreckage of two commuter trains that collided on friday. they have ruled out foul play as a cause and sending a portion of the train back to the lab in washington for more analysis.

no indication yet on how long the tracks will be closed. major commuter headache could be ahead. more than a million commuters travel on that line every weekday. very sad story for us to tell you about this morning. students at hofstra university will get their diplomas today, but they will be mourning one of their classmates. andrea rebello was shot by a police officer who was trying to rescue her from an intruder. the gunman was holding her hostage, hostage, he was also killed. hofstra says it is offering counselling to students, rebello, a junior just 21 years old. and in alaska, an 8,000-foot volcano continues to gush ash, steam, lava hundreds of feet into the air. that's actually down from earlier in the week when the ash plume stretched thousands of feet high. the volcano has been erupting since monday. just stunning images there. scientists aren't saying that that's going to stop any time soon. it has already been a rough

week of wither across much of the country and we could see another violent system fire up today for the plains and midwestern states. let's go to alexandra steele in the weather center. how are things now? >> quiet, compared to where they're going to go. yesterday we saw about 17 or so tornadoes, some may be duplicates. somewhere between about 14 and 20. here's where they were, as expected in nebraska. also here just west of wichita and kansas. also, baseball-sized hail, 70-mile-per-hour wind gusts. expecting more of the same today. expecting the tornadoes to be more numerous though in numbers. so here's the current radar picture. wherever you are from minneapolis to maryland to macon, georgia, it's a wet day. you can see right now those thunderstorms are moving north and northeast. no severe though as of yet.

no tornado watches, no tornado warnings. we have severe thunderstorm warnings, but nothing tornadic yet. but all the ingredients are there. we have this dip in the jet stream advancing east, check one. we have the frontal lines, also the dry line where the masses are converging, we see that spin accelerate. also of course ample moisture. the gulf we say open for business. so kind of all these ingredients have the potential and create the atmosphere to be so right for tornadoes. with that very large hail. saw it yesterday, again expect is today. tornadoes likely and some strong tornadoes. kansas city, wichita, tulsa down to oak city as well, that's the threat today including des moines and down to joplin. and then we bring in tomorrow as well that threat advances a little bit farther eastward. we pick in chicago, also peoria and also down to st. louis. a big story today, the big picture of course is where we're going to see that severe

weather. but in the southeast, in the northeast an inch of rain potentially, two to three inches here in the southeast as well. so, poppy, flooding a concern. we've seen it over the last couple of days. and more rain coming here on the eastern seaboard as well. >> just hope for some relief for those flooded areas and people that have gone through all those tornadoes. alexandra, thank you. >> sure. all right. do you relish your prime rib, or do you just love biting into a juicy burger? if you do, the thought of going vegan might turn your stomach. but my next two guests might convince you staunch carnivores out there to a plant-based diet, something they say could save your life. they've been vegan for nearly 30 years. a former cleav eer cleveland cl surgeon. he argues for a no-oil, whole foods plant-based diet. it was his book that helped convince former president bill clinton to go vegan and rip, son

popular also firefighter and triathlete, just written this book, my beef with meat. they're both joining us live this morning. father and son here with us on a sunday. thank you both for coming in. appreciate it. >> thank you, poppy. >> thank you very much. >> yeah, of course, rip, i want to start with you. you have this new book out. you talk about the fact that there are so many misconceptions out there about switching to a vegan, really a plant-based diet. talk to me about really the biggest misconception. >> well, poppy, right now the disconnect between what people think is healthy and what we know to be healthy is as wide as the grand canyon. most people are being sent on a fool's errand when it comes to their greatest asset, which is their health. so i wrote the book to basically set things straight and so people can stand up for their most precious asset, which is health. and answer questions like where to get protein, what about

calcium, what about iron, what about children? everything in moderation. all these questions are taken care of in "my beef with meat". >> i know you point to things like spinach, broccoli, lots of vegetables that have an equivalent amount or sometimes more protein than meat, i think we just lost the shot for your father. do we still have rip with us, guys? rip, stick with me while we get your father hooked back up. but it's opening people's eyes to that. i have to tell you personal note here my brother vegetarian for years and years working on becoming a vegan trying to convince me every time he sees me, something he's really passionate about. i'm not there yet. but you say it was, you know, your father that really motivated you to do this. but what i think is so interesting, you convinced your entire firehouse to do this. and i wonder, are they sticking to it? >> right. well, great question. let me backtrack for a second. a lot of people ask is this a

vegetarian diet, a vegan diet? neither my father or myself feel that neither one of those terms are representative of kind of what it is we're talking about. for example, vegetarianism, you can be eating dairy products, you can be doing eggs, little chicken, fish, depending upon who you are and that's not going to get to where you want to be. when it comes to veganism, you can be a junk food vegan and still choking down all kinds of coca-cola, french fried potatoes and white bread and white sugar. so what we like is -- or my term is plant strong where we are now consuming whole plant-based foods as close to grown as possible. so back to the firehouse, you know, we had this incident and these guys totally embraced this way of living. and these guys, the fantastic thing is it's rippled out beyond the austin fire department to fire departments all over the united states. most people don't know that the number one cause of death of

firefighters on the job is heart disease. most people don't know that almost 80% of firefighters across the country are either overweight or obese. so firefighters are ripe for getting plant strong. >> that's so interesting. you're a triathlete. your father a former rowing champion. there often comes the question we address about where do you get your protein from, but i also wonder if you could address the fact if people change their diet dramatically, what are some things they need to be aware of if they're really changing what they're used to? >> well, i can tell you you'll be getting everything you need from plants. plants are the mother source when it comes to essential amino acids. almost all the vitamins and minerals actually come from plants. most people don't know that baby spinach is almost 50% protein, that broccoli's 35% protein.

whole grain pastas are 15% protein. oatmeal is 16% protein. the only food that has fiber in it are rocking plants. meat doesn't have fiber, doesn't have antioxidants and it doesn't have complex carbohydrates. so meat, what i really want people to know is meat, it clogs your arteries, it fuels cancer, it contributes to obesity and trashes the environment. and plants you get everything you need. >> i want to talk about immediate benefits because we are a society that likes to see things right away, right away. so talk to me about some immediate benefits that you saw. >> well, it's amazing in 28 days your body wants to heal and restore itself. what i found in the pilot study that i did was for within 28 days, male or female, didn't matter on average you lost

between 8 to 20 pounds. total cholesterol came down on average 30%. the ldl, which is the lethal cholesterol came down about 25%, increase in energy, better sleeping, acid reflux disappears, gastrointestinal distress gone. people are going to the bathroom regularly. the number one gastro intestinal issue americans have is constipation. and that's because 94% of america's calories are coming from processed foods, dairy products and animal products that have zero fiber in them. plants, the only food that has fiber in them. >> plant strong. >> plant strong. all the way. >> i am still a meat eater. a lot of people out there are, but i think it's fascinating to read about this, to learn about it. and i think it takes a lot of will power for people, but as you said some of the benefits are immediate. i'm so sorry we lost your father. please thank him for us for coming in on a sunday morning. if you can hear me, doctor, thank you.

and, rip, thank you very much. appreciate your time. >> thank you, poppy. >> you got it. well, she is one of the most recognizable women on television. and wendy williams is known for speaking her mind. and believe me, she did. my sit-down interview with the talk show host who holds nothing back. that's coming up. for over 125 years we've been bringing people together. today we'd like people to come together on something that concerns all of us...obesity. and as the nations leading beverage company we can play an important role.

that includes continually providing more options. giving people easy ways to help make informed choices. and offering portion controlled versions of our most popular drinks. it also means working with our industry to voluntarily change whats offered in schools. but beating obesity will take continued action by all of us. based on one simple common sense fact, all calories count. and if you eat and drink more calories then you burn off you'll gain weight. that goes for coca cola and everything else with calories. finding a solution will take all of us. but at coca cola we know when people come together good things happen to learn more visit coke.com/comingtogether ♪ fly me to the moon ♪ let me play among the stars ♪ and let me see what spring is like ♪

the uproar over the irs just one of the problems on the president's plate this week. let's say it was a really big plate, more like a platter. it kept the white house, president's team busy doing damage control. candy crowley joining me now ahead of her show. hey, candy, good morning to you. >> hey, poppy. same to you. >> talk to me about what this has meant for the president, his popularity, i know we have new poll numbers coming up on the show. >> well, popularity is one thing. this has always been a popular president. people tend to -- the majority of people tend to like this president. the key here is his job approval rating. >> uh-huh. >> because with a job approval rating, even for a president who has no more elections to look toward, speaks to his agenda. will he be powerful enough to

push forward what he wants to do? and this president has, you talk about a big plate, has a lot of things he wants to do for this in his second term. so the question is what's his job approval rating? we'll have some answers, at least the preliminary answers because this is certainly the irs is a relatively new problem for the president as is the spying on the associated press phone records. so both of those are still percolating. and benghazi, congress continues to look into it. so further on down the line we'll take another look. but this is our first preliminary look at where the president stands in terms of that approval rating which is so key to his ability to push forward his agenda. >> yeah. absolutely. even in the second term. thanks, candy. >> thanks, poppy. >> "state of the union" live at 9:00 a.m. eastern. she'll have new poll numbers on president obama. 9:00 eastern right here on cnn. well, it has been 35 years

how's this for a sunday morning wakeup call? what is it like to be eaten by a bear? here is what it looks like. you have to see this. brad josephs set up this camera to capture footage of some young grizzlies. it did until one of the bears tried to eat the camera. the video has gone viral on youtube. incredibly there was no damage to this camera. some of the clips appear in the film great bear stakeout. it's on the bbc and discovery channel. that is absolutely terrifying. dreams of seeing another triple crown run spoiled yesterday. the colt who won the kentucky derby failed to come out on top at the preakness. we have this morning eat bleacher report. >> kind of bummed not to see a horse run for the triple crown or favorite yesterday was really never in the race, never really found his rhythm like he did at the kentucky derby. basically he raced from behind the entire time and ended up finishing a disappointing

fourth. now, no triple crown again, we're going to have another year to wait. the drought extends to 36 years by this time next year. and the horse that spoiled the party was oxbow, oxbow ran from first place from start to finish. it was great to see the jockey gary stevens to win. a legend in the sport, a hall of fame jockey who actually retired back in 2005. he tried his hand at acting, tried his hand at being a tv analyst but still had the fire for racing. here he is back at the age of 50 and back in the winner's circle. the miami heat finally having an opponent for the eastern conference finals. the indiana pacers are heading to south florida after eliminating the new york knicks in six games. the knicks put up a fight last night. cardiogr all indiana starters scored double digits led by lance stevenson's career high 25 points. game one of the eastern conference finals will be in miami on wednesday night.

david beckham, one of the world's most famous athletes played in what was likely his final game. he is no longer with the l.a. galaxy. he's playing with paris. 40,000 fans chanting his name over and over. when the game came to an end, you can see beckham had the tears flowing, his teammates hoisted him up on their shoulders at one point and tossed him in the air. it was a really fitting send-off for one of the sport's true legends. and on the european tour, a golfer found himself in a situation if you will after his tee shot landed behind a public restroom. now, rules officials determined his ball was unplayable from behind the building, so he had to drop at the closest playable position which happened to be inside that bathroom right next to the toilet. now, a line next to the toilet as you can imagine is an impossible shot, so the rules officials allowed him to drop once again outside on the grass and he would go onto par the

hole. just in a day's work. we've seen guys, poppy, hit balls from trees, something from the top of another structure, from water, without their pants. this time i've never seen someone hit next to a toilet. pretty funny. >> that's exactly how i golf. i'm just that good. >> i know. i always end up in the house too. >> all right. joe, thank you. appreciate it. when it comes to advice, television host radio queen wendy williams holds nothing back. you're going to see the good, the bad, the uncomfortable. if you have a question for wendy, she always has an answer. that's exactly why she decided to release her newest book. and i had a chance to sit down with her to speak about life, her book, her 12-year-old son, the women's movement. all of it. take a look. ask wendy, sixth book, why write it now? you say it's the easiest book you've written. >> easiest because it's made of letters that wendy watchers have sent me from all over the country. they sent me their toughest questions and i answered them in

the book and it's been my fave because it comes from the heart. my talk show is in its fourth season, i always knew that i would write an "ask wendy" book. so here it is, the book. >> i think there's this very interesting debate going on with children and teens and the millennium generation about should parents be friends or parents? >> 93% of the time is i'm his mother and i want to be respected that way. and 7% of the time i'm his friend because i think that particularly in this generation in order to find out more about our children, we have to massage them through the jedi mind trick. sometimes that means you've got to instead of standing over them, you've got to sit down in the middle of the basketball court with them, so, what's going on, buddy? what's happening? it's a fine line. i don't know that i'm doing it right. he's only 12. i hear those teen years are the killer years. >> yeah, get ready. get ready coming from someone

who doesn't have kids. who am i to say? little more serious here. you've called success scary. >> yeah. >> why? >> because if it comes too early, it changes you and everybody around you. if it comes a little later, it's -- my great success -- and i've had great success in my career, but it's been a stair step. and having this talk show, i wouldn't be -- i like to think of myself as a pretty grounded person. i'm the same wendy that i was, you know, but everyone else around me has changed. >> are you always scared you might fail? >> no. because i've succeeded so much now that if i failed at this particular point, i've still outsucceeded anything that i possibly thought i would growing up as a young girl in new jersey. >> that fulfillment.

>> yes. >> all right. our thanks to wendy for that. thanks so much for spending your sunday morning with us, guys. nice to be with you.
