3:07 am
rainfall. you can see the area where the heaviest rainfall is. indicated by orange shading there. the rainfall came down in a short amount of time. the good news is, all the flood watches have been expired. and flood watches that include erie and south carolina that also have picked up rainfall as well. as we look at the radar right now, notice, we still have showers in the western part of north carolina. what does that mean today for the folks that had to evacuate yesterday? well, we're going to see poe steshlly more storms today. some of them we could pick up maybe a quarter to half-inch rainfall. it gives you an idea where the rain's going to be, certainly to the east of the charlotte, north carolina. it's not all bad out there. today, we are going to see cooler temperatures. it's a nice day out there. in fact, it's a new day in st. louis.

3:09 am
cairo. hello, ben. set the scene for us right now. >> reporter: well, right now, you still have these thousands and thousands of supporters and deposed president in the northern city of nasr city. they say they will not leave until the president is reinstated. and the interior is saying they are preparing for the legal groundwork, framework for that to be broken up by the police and army, and they say that will happen very soon. of course, that risks the repeat of the sort of scenes we saw early saturday morning where as you said, dozens and dozens of people were killed. hundreds were wounded in clashes between the police and the army. outside of those two areas, however, cairo is fairly calm tahrir square behind me, there
3:10 am
are a few tents out there but otherwise, pretty calm. those areas around the common sthags, a lot of tension and a lot of anticipation of more trouble. >> and we know the secretary of state john kerry said yesterday this is really a pivotal moment for egypt. this country is forever going to be impacted for what happens now. they have to move forward here. how do they do that? >> reporter: well, that's a very good question. now, there is an interim president. there is an interim government. but the real power in this country at the moment is with the defense minister abd abdullfattah assisi. if they can manage to get the transition going. get a new constitution, schedule parliamentary and presidential elections. many analysts that i've spoken
3:11 am
to are optimistic that egypt can get back on track again. but this is a very difficult moment because you have the supporters of deposed president and the muslim brotherhood are now very much in the political wilderness. there's very little in the way of any attempts to bring them back into the political process. and even though they may be unpopular at the moment, for decades, they have been a significant player in the egyptian politics. so if they can get the transition moving again. and somehow bring elements of the muslim brotherhood back in, this could be, indeed, a reset. a restarting point for the egyptian revolution. but it's very risky at the moment. >> absolutely very risky. and it's so unstable there and it's so important to have stability in the region and we definitely do not have that, especially where you are right now, ben. appreciate the reporting. a spanish judge today is expected to question, this was the driver in last week's deadly
3:12 am
crash. this is that high-speed train you might recall. >> police have accused francisco jose garzon of reckless homicide. the judge wants to speak with him. the deadline is this evening. what we know, at least 78 people were killed in that train derail and then split apart. meantime, pope francis is getting ready to wrap up this visit to brazil with mass in just a few hours. it's considered the high point of this year's world youth gathering. he's been there all week. >> it's been amazing to watch that unfold. the pope has drawn amazing crowds. they've been screaming. they love him. he arrived on monday. officials say that 3 million people packed into copacabana beach last night for this prayer service with them. >> and miguel has been there all
3:13 am
week. what's the focus as the pope heads into the biggest event of this trip? >> reporter: yeah, is this going to be huge. it took us a while to get here today. i'm looking at a mass of people. if you know copacabana keep, it's about two miles long, the whole thing. from start to finish, packed with people. the streets around, there are pilgrims sleeping everywhere. keep in mind, this was not scheduled to be here. it was supposed to be about 30 wiles away from here. it's turned into a mud pit. this will rival pope paul when he drew 4 million people. 3 million last night for the vigil. they're expecting more today. you may have as much as 4 million people showing up. that would shock organizers quite heavily. they didn't expect that many.
3:14 am
certainly not that many we also have the presidents of brazil, argentina, uruguay. security is very tough today. this is why i'm doing it on the phone. but it's a mass of people looking forward to hearing this final mass of pope francis. >> absolutely. it mutt be amazing throb, miguel. appreciate the reporting. what he's been saying all week, later on in the show. >> 4 million people, you can imagine that. a woman as accusing san diego's mayor of sexual harassment. well, she says now that more women might come forward. >> there are a number of women, yes, that have been on the receiving end of this behavior. >> our interview with laura fink next. this day calls you.

he then proceeded to tell me to turn around which i did. he then patted me on the behind, laughed and said, nope, it's still there. >> and was this the kind of thing that he would do repeatedly? >> you know, this was a one-time occurrence. and i think it stopped because i documented it with an e-mail. i wrote to the chief of staff and cc'd his chief of staff tony buckles. i asked for an apology and asked that it won't happen again to me or any other female member of his staff. >> what was his response? >> his chief of staff called me the next day, asked me what i wanted to do. he ended up mumbling an apology and proceeded to tell me but i just didn't really understand. >> i want you to get to the news conference on friday what he thinks will make amends here. >> i apologize to my staff and i
3:20 am
apologize to the citizens and staff members who have supported me over many years. i apologize to the people of san diego. and most of all, i apologize to the women that i've offended. so on august 5th, i'll be entering a behavior counseling clinic to undergo two weeks of intensive therapy to begin the process of addressing my behavior. >> so, laura, a couple questions, of course, do you accept his apology? does he seem sincere at first? >> you know, i think where you can detect whether he's sincere or not is his commitment to action. and right now, he's committing to only two weeks of therapy to address years of reprehensible behavior. and i think if he was serious about that, he would step aside and dedicate the time and the energy that it requires to make a recovery or to address this behavior. that's clearly not the case.
3:21 am
>> and this incident that you talk about eight years ago that you say you followed up and the behavior stopped, do you think this is something in his control? do you think this is something he could have controlled back then? or that there is something that is really wrong that he needs to address in some sort of therapy? >> when i worked for him. he controlled it when he wanted to control it, when he didn't want to control it, it got out of hand. he had a number of folks that helped him with that. those folks are not around him now. i think we've seen the behavior escalate over time. as you talk to the other folks, their allegations are even more lurid than mine. so this is not something that's getting better. it's something that's getting worse. >> irene jackson she came out, she filed a lawsuit first. would you follow as well? >> you know, i'm beyond the statute of limitations. it's one of the reasons i wanted to come forward. i knew that i could speak folks
3:22 am
like you, suzanne to come forward. >> do you think there were people who were aware of what took place between the two of you or that there were more witnesses, perhaps, more women that would come forth? >> over the year, i kept quiet about my story publicly. but you run into other women who indicate there might have been something. eventually, you end up talking about it. so i have heard a number of stories over the years. some of which i know have been report to the sheriff's hotline in this investigation. others who are considering coming forward. i know just from my exposure to women -- and these are community leaders. these are political candidates for office seeking his endorsement. there are a number of women, yes, that have been on the receiving end of this behavior. >> all right, laura fink, we appreciate your time this morning. and obviously, we're going to be following up on the story and get reaction response as well. thank you.
3:23 am
>> thank you so much. >> and that was laura fink. poppy, she believes that potentially, the floodgates are going to be open. that there will be more people that come forward and demand the two weeks of therapy that she's going to be participating in. >> that's what it sound like. that she may know more women who haven't come forward. coming up next, a jewelry heist. this one's going to shock you. a former tiffany executive helped herself to jewels and then sold them. now, she'll pay for that crime. for, straight ahead. ♪ [ male announcer ] it's a golden opportunity to discover a hybrid from the luxury car company that understands that one type of hybrid isn't right for everyone. come to the lexus golden opportunity sales event and choose from one of five lexus hybrids

4:10 am
right now there may be a difficulty, because we understand from the ministry that the train driver hasn't been speaking to police so it remains to be seen whether he's actually going to talk to the judge either suzanne. >> karl, appreciate that. one of the things we're looking at, the speed, the train was coming too fast around that corner when you see that. >> yeah, absolutely. another fakeout, meantime, in anthony weiner's run for new york city mayor.

4:31 am
diet beverages may increase your risk for heart disease, diabetes and stroke. their editorial is published. it's a review of a dozen-long term scientist studies. i want to bring in that physician nutrition specialist and our friend dr. molina johncolis. we did talk to coke, they said most studies don't show a link to weight gain. we talked to the american beverage association. they gave a statement, they said this is an opinion, not a scientific study. low-calorie sweeteners are some of the most studied today. they're an effective weight loss management according to decades of scientific research around the globe. you've heard the statements before. you've reviewed the opinion piece. what's your take on it? >> well, i think there were two
4:32 am
large studies that came not the last past year, showing an increased risk of both stroke and type 2 diabetes with higher levels of diet soda consumption. we can't determine cause and effect. but i think the bottom line is, just because this is low-calorie or don't have sugar doesn't mean they're completely safe or risk-free. we don't have any nail in the coffin data but i think the two studies that came out this morally bear more fleshing out. >> and what you're describing is reverse causality. are people at risk start drinking more diet drinks or do the diet drinks actually cause them to gain weight. we've talked about this in the past. some people say, look, you may crave sugar more after consuming the artificial type. does that really happen, do you think? >> yeah, that's a really interesting question. and the science of hunger and cravings is very complex. we don't even fully understand
4:33 am
it when it comes to regular sugar. and with artificial sweenters we have even less of an understanding but what we know, they're hundreds of times sweeter than regular sugar so over time, when you consume them, you really could become desensitized to the normal sweetness of things like fruit and need higher and higher levels to feel satisfied. >> what about foods, we talk a lot about drinks but what about the art firnl sweeteners in foods? >> my personal opinion, it's not as clinically relevant. because in this case, you're actually combining the taste of sweetness with calories so there would be more of an appropriate response to that food group. and actually if some of my patients really love drinking diet soda, i say at the very least, drink it with a meal. we need to back into this and see the interaction. but i think associating calories with sweetness is a more fiphys
4:34 am
logic approach. >> the bottom line, if you were drinking diet or regular soda, you had a choice of the two, for you or your patient what would you recommend? >> well, from a health perspective neither say good option. but if we're talking about weight, i would still go with the diet soda unless you find your doing all the right things and very resistant to weight loss or at high risk of stroke or diabetes, i really would discourage you from having any of them. you can even try a diet soda swedened with stevia which may turn out to be a better option. >> and water's always a good option, i know you say as well. >> of course, water would be my first choice, water, green tea, coffee which actually has favorable effects on disease outcomes. >> we'll have you back to talk about that sometime soon. thanks, doc. >> thanks. doctors and patients, they complain all the time about red tape and about insurance

4:36 am
to cut our staff down. we have one full-time employee to support me. and she answers phones and draws blood and so forth. so that's been a huge savings. >> reporter: he says he now has more time to focus on his patients and even make house calls. >> how are you doing, rudy? >> reporter: for many patients who can't pay out of pocket, the doctor says he's lot a quarter of his roughly 2,000 patients but expects other to take place. he admits his model works best for those who either lack insurance or have high deductibles. north of powerland, another family practitioner dr. michael clark understands his frustration. >> the idea of a streamlined simplified billing process is very attractive. a lot of us hunger for a simpler practice which is just about the care we give to our patients. >> reporter: but in this rural community dr. clark felt he simply couldn't turn away many
4:37 am
senior patients reliant on medicare. and some also say other patients would be vulnerable. >> there are not that patients who would be able to put up with this. some very rich patients, of course, they could do this. but a lot of low-income people couldn't afford the fees. >> reporter: but with endless bureaucracy, and costs that are often out of control, some doctors are trying different tactics to stay in business. >> christine joins us now. it's interesting, if you look at the statistics, about 90% of doctors still take insurance. >> sure. >> i'm curious from a moral perspective, is there a moral -- they feel an obligation? >> well, you know, rural doctors struggle a little bit more because they want to make sure there are other choices for heir patients, right? but it cuts both way, some of these doctors, they'll lose 20% to 25% of their patient base, customer playing with medicare. they'll lose that and many say, in the case of this doctor,

house calls. he can make house calls now. that's almost in a way of improving care for his patients. and that's really important for him. >> you're just saying $75 for a house call. seems like a pretty good deal. is that a lower price for him? how did he figure that number out? >> it's right in line with what insurance and medicare would have reimbursed him. but he doesn't have an overhead. or an employee chasing after all the paperwork. cuts the red tape and makes the difference for the very small practice. >> i'd like to check in on him, this doctor in a year. >> we will. >> thank you for sharing that. >> you're welcome. up next, we've got something a little edgy for you. this man has a severe disorder of lungs and diaphragm, but wait till you hear what happens when he smokes marijuana. with the spark miles card from capital one,

5:02 am
we're talking about the best man in the wedding. his name is mark lennon. he and the bride to be were ejected from this boat when it crashed into a barge on friday night near the base of the bridge behind me. meanwhile, we should tell you that the groom was among the four survivors. he was actually knocked unconscious when the accident happened. when he came to, he called 911. at last check he's in fair condition at an area hospital, but he and the other three people who were injured in this accident are expected to survive. >> alina, do we know anything about the charges that the driver is going to face? >> reporter: we do. vehicular manslaughter and vehicular assault. these charges are being leveled against a 35-year-old man from new york, a friend of the couple who was on the boat driving the boat, authorities say, while intoxicated. he was actually arraigned from his hospital bed yesterday, and is actually now, suzanne and

5:05 am
days under the spanish legal system, and he has to be formally charged by a judge within that period of time. yes, as you say, the police have now accuseded him of reckless homicide, but when i spoke to a spokesman for the judge, she says, well, yes, the police can basically say what they like, but it is the judge that has to decide. so certainly, each side formally staking out their territory in this case, but certainly what the judge is going to want to do is talk to the train driver, first and foremost, and we know from police that so far he's not been too cooperative. of course, partly some of that could be to do with his medical condition. he was also fairly banged up in that accident and was only taken from hospital to police headquarters yesterday. the judge also is going to want to look at these allegations, some of them made by government ministers, that the train was going excessively fast, but in addition to that, he's going to be looking at other factors such as technical factors, really looking at the overall situation to see whether he also levels
5:06 am
formal charges of some kind of homicide at the train driver as well, suzanne and poppy. >> karl, just when it comes to the victims, we know that 78 died, but many, dozens more, still in the hospital today? >> reporter: yes, still there are. we understand that there are probably still around 60 people in the hospital. we were told about a third of those were in critical condition. in fact, later on today, we're trying to visit a couple. the husband, in fact, was on that train with his wife. he came away with a broken arm. his wife is still in a coma, and there are many situations like that. also today, we saw a husband from venezuela who was wheeling away the suitcase that was handed back to him of his wife. his wife had been on that train with the two children. they fortunately all walked away from this, but many, many

5:08 am
they have just filled the beach there. it looks like the pope is going to be speaking from a big stage in a fort, and he will be surrounded by onlookers, many people who have made a big trip to be there to see him. it is going to be a historic day. we're going to have much more on this story for you at 8:30 a.m. eastern time. all right. they don't need the rain, but western north carolina could actually get more rain today. there has been severe flooding in catawba county northwest of charlotte. >> the rain seemed to fall in buckets yesterday. it was amazing. quickly whipping up flash floods, though. there were emergency crews that say they carried out at least ten swift water rescues. actually had to do those rescues, fish people from their homes, their cars. taking a look at some of those pictures. we want to bring meteorologist jennifer delgado in. it was amazing, jen, we didn't
5:09 am
even see injuries or hear about injuries. it looks severe. >> it certainly was severe. and flash flooding is the number one related weather killer. luckily, residents didn't become a fatality. you see all the rain that came down. look at these totals out there. some of these location, six to ten inches of rainfall, it fell in areas from virginia down to areas like south carolina. certainly, the area just to the northwest of charlotte, north carolina, was hit the hardest, and you saw the area there with the roadways turning into streams and creeks. take a look at the radar, yes, we have rain out there, but for areas, including parts of north carolina, it's fairly quiet on the western coast. areas of rainfall hugging the eastern coastline down towards florida and up towards areas, including new york city. you're going to be seeing rain moving in there as we go through the morning hours. here's your forecast for today. the good news is it's going to be nice and cool through areas, including the upper midwest, the ohio valley, and then some rain showers in the four corners. we saw the video coming out of

congressmen going into campaign mode. let's start off with the timing for president obama here. he's got a couple of battles he's got to prepare for with congress, the debt ceiling one of them, and the budget as well. how is he doing this? >> huge battles. right now the timing is key because a lot of people think the first year after a president's election is often when the presidents have the most muscle and maybe even the most ability, and next year we've got congressional elections, and after that, i hate to even mention it, we'll start talking about 2016. so the first year after an election, with all the issues hanging over him, may be the window for president obama, but it sure is closing. so he's moving fast. in fact, he's moving right now this week. let's take a look at the schedule starting with today. treasury secretary lew will be on four talk shows. that includes our state of the union coming up at 9:00 eastern. he's going to be pushing the top
5:17 am
line obama message on economy and the jobs. let's move to tuesday. president obama will be saddling up. he'll fly to chattanooga, tennessee, again talking jobs. he'll be at an amazon center talking to employees there. then the president comes back to washington the next day, where he will actually make an uncommon visit to capitol hill. he was last up with us at the capitol in march. this time he'll meet with house and senate democrats, huddling with his allies, essentially. why all this this week? one reason, i know you know, suzanne, thursday and friday, the house and senate are scheduled to take off. they will leave d.c. and begin their august recess. so this an aggressive push from a president before congress leaves, focusing on jobs. but one more thing, suzanne, also, it's all not just in person. he had an interview with "the new york times" published yesterday, 40-minute long interview, "the new york times" says, also talking immigration, and as you mentioned, deficit and debt ceiling also are on his mind. >> it's almost like he's in
5:18 am
campaign mode when you think about it, when you look at his schedule there. one of the things, i guess -- there's always this back and forth whether or not congress should stay in washington, get things done, whether or not they need to go home to their constituents. is there anybody who's calling for them to work through the august break? >> yes, yes. and what's interesting is it's a republican who's asking republican leaders in the house to stay. this is republican scott ridgell of virginia beach. he says, hey, we're heading township a huge fiscal crisis at the end of september, when, again, government will face its funding bills and need to pass more funding. he says congress needs to stay in session. he's calling on house leaders to stay to try to come up with those appropriations bills. he says they have too much work to do to be leaving town. one other note, republicans in the house, they do have their own kind of campaign going. it's also a familiar one. this week we're going to be hearing a lot from house republicans on obamacare, why

"when she says in the public that it wasn't her, it must be an imposter, i think she doesn't even remember going out in those outfits, so she genuinely believes it's not her." what does that indicate to you? >> it's definitely not her making something off. it's her true belief and her reality. why it's that way is what needs to be looked at and why she's on hold right now. is it mental illness showing its first sign, drug abuse, exhaustion? those are the kinds of things that are being looked at now and examined so the treatment can begin. >> i also want to talk about san diego mayor bob filner facing
5:27 am
multiple sexual harassment allegations. he made an announcement, not that he's stepping down from his post, but that he's going to go into two weeks of pretty intense, what he calls, behavioral therapy. what does that mean? what does therapy like that look like? >> well, therapy like that looks like you're inside, you're living with either a group of people going through the same type of behavior, the same kind of issue, but the therapy is really looking at what's going on again underneath and what's driving that behavior. is it anxiety? is it a mental illness? is it substance abuse? is it stress? whatever it is, you've got to be able to connect the dots so you can put the things in place to be able to stop the behavior because it's the behavior that's making you feel good, but underneath it is the real issue. >> is two weeks typical. >> two weeks intensive inside is typical. really, 30 to 40 to 60 days is really the best inpatient treatment. two weeks intense inpatient is
5:28 am
pretty good start. >> dr. charles sophy, appreciate your time this morning. thank you. >> thank you. he is being called the slum pope, pope francis. we're going to take a look at live pictures. he's in rio de janeiro there, copacabana beach. these are live pictures in the popemobile. you can see the crowds. amazing excitement around his visit. want to talk with the catholic priest about why pope francis visited one of rio's poorest and most violent neighborhoods and what he is calling on the rest of us to do to help our neediest neighbors. with diabetes, it's tough to keep life balanced. i don't always have time to eat like i should. that's why i like glucerna shakes. they have slowly digestible carbs to help minimize blood sugar spikes.

5:32 am
bottom of the hour. welcome back. i'm suzanne malveaux. >> and i'm poppy harlow. here's five things you need to know for your new day. number one, investigators will comb for clues of the deadly crash. three people in killed when the bus flipped over on the exit ramp. the driver says the brakes failed. number two, the search for a missing boater will resume shortly on the hudson river. rescue crews are looking for mark lennon. he was one of two people ejected from a speed boat after it crashed into a barge on friday night. tragically, the other missing person in the accident was killed. you see her right there. police officers found the body of bride to be lindsey stewart on saturday. number three, neither side is backing down in egypt. supporters of ousted president mohamed morsi clashed with the military backed government.
5:33 am
the latest fighting has left a reported 72 people dead. morsi's supporters insist police opened fire on them while government officials deny that. they claim that protesters attacked and wounded police. number four, secretary of state john kerry's wife, teresa heinz kerry, is home this morning after spending three weeks in the hospital. that follows a seizure that she had. the family did not release other details but says she will return to the hospital periodically for some outpatient treatments. we are glad she's doing all right. and number five, fond memories today for former congresswoman lindy boggs. she died yesterday at age 97. boggs served 18 years in congress, tabing the seat held by her husband after he died in ray plane crash. she was the first woman to represent louisiana in congress. she was the first woman to represent louisiana in congress. she was the first woman to represent louisiana in congress
5:34 am
plane crash. she was the first woman to represent louisiana in congress a plane crash. she was the first woman to represent louisiana in congress. in today's gfaces of faith, pope francis, his trip to brazil. the pope is planning to celebrate mass this morning in front of millions of people. there you see live pictures of him in the popemobile headed to give his remark. just a remarkable, remarkable scene. it's the culmination of a weeklong trip to rio that has seen francis put his message of serving the poor into action. he visited a favela, or slum in rio, he visited prisoners, went to a hospital for drug addicts. he also challenged the wealthy and powerful to do more for the poor. he called on young people to shake up the church. what a trip. let me bring in father beck. father edward beck joins us now. he's a cnn faith and religion commentator, joining us now from new york. good morning. thank you for coming in. >> good morning, poppy. it's my pleasure to be with you. >> we're going to keep the live pictures up also while we talk because they're remarkable. talk to me about this trip.
5:35 am
this is the sort of first big public appearance for the pope outside of rome. what does this show about his character? >> first of all, it exceeded all expectations. people were saying maybe a million people at the most would come. last night we had 3 million people. this is for a man who is so simple and yet so profound. i think what people see is he plays well on the large stage, just like john paul ii did, and yet he also plays well with individuals, not plays well, he wants to engage individuals. he goes into their houses. he said, when he was in the barrio, i'd love to go to every house and have a little cafecito, but i can't do that, so i'm going to go to this house. very personable. he's making a remarkable impression. >> i want to read a quote from something that he said on thursday because this really stood out for me. part of what he said, "no amount of peace building will be able to last nor will harmony and happiness be attained in a society that ignores, pushes to
5:36 am
the margin, or excludes part of itself." he's talking about the poor, and he's talking about them not getting enough attention or help, really putting political pressure on leaders there. what is your take on that? it's a message we've heard from him all week there. >> yes, and that is the challenging message for this pope. he is saying, unless you work for justice, then you're not living the gospel, and you wealthy, you the government, you have to do more for those who have not. so he's definitely speaking against the authority and the status quo. not only that, poppy, but he's also speaking against his own bishops. he was yesterday in a cathedral with the bishops, and he said to a thousand of them, get out of the sacrestries, get out of the buildings, why are you losing the catholics to evangelical christians? because they're serving the needs better than you are. you need to do it. he's challenging not only the
5:37 am
status quo in the government but also his own church. >> and the live pictures of the popemobile headed to make this massive mass we're going to hear. you see his security detail running alongside him. they've had a hard time keeping up with him this week. he's been treated like a rock star, mobs of supporters around him in the popemobile, security concerns. i wonder what you think about the fact that he is willing to take these security risks to get out there and literally be among, with, next to the people? >> i think the value of what he's doing, in his mind, is worth the risk, even when that crowd surrounded that little car, his first day when the driver took the wrong turn, he didn't roll up the window. he rolls down the window. he let people reach him. he needs to be close to his people. so if something bad happens, i think he says to himself, so be it. i'm 76. i go out like a martyr, but this is more important to me. and i think he's showing it by just breaking proet cal, walking where he wants to walk. this is a man who is not going
5:38 am
to be managed by pr or by his handlers, that's for sure. he's his own man, and you're seeing him take some risks, but in his mind, i think he's saying it's worth the risks. >> so he chose to make his first trip overseas to south america. we don't know where exactly he's going to make his next big public trip. where do you think it's most important for him to visit next? >> well, of course, being in the united states, i would love to have him come to this country because we too are struggling as a catholic church in this country. i'm not sure he'll go here just yet, but he may want to speak to here, one of the richest countries in the world, and say, what are you doing for your own poor? you who have all of these resources, what are you doing? what is the church doing here? he's saying to the church so interestingly, stop being so intellectual, so hi-fallutin. some saw this as a dig at benedict. it's not intellectualism that's going to reach your people.
5:39 am
what reaches your people is talking about mercy, talking about love. what he said in his speech yesterday to 3 million people, i think was revolutionary. we have yet to unpack those words from yesterday. >> really remarkable. appreciate your insight, father. thank you so much for coming in. >> thank you. pastor rick warren returned to the pulpit at his saddleback church this weekend. he is speaking for the first time since he and his wife lost their son to suicide in april. his emotional sermon was called how to get through what you're going through. 20,000 people reportedly attended the service. it is mysterious and frustrating. als, better known as lou gehrig's disease, it ravages the body but not the mind. former football player steve gleason, he is battling als, he is a big promoter of using technology to improve patients' quality of life. he can tweet, amazingly, just by blinking his eyes.
5:40 am
we'll share his inspiring story up next.
5:41 am
5:42 am
5:43 am
it is mysterious, frustrating, and frightening, little is known about it. we are shedding light and going in depth on a killer disease calls als. it kills more than 100,000 people a year. it is fast moving, taking away people's ability to control their muscles, causing patients to kwquickly lose their abilityo speak, swallow, breathe, or
5:44 am
move. the disease hits close to home for me. my mother was diagnosed with als a year and a half ago. although her disease now forces her to breathe through a machine, she's in good spirits, gets around in a motorized wheelchair, and is enjoying the family. technology is improving als patients' quality of life in many ways. one of them is former nfl player steve gleason. with the tap of a toe or the blink of an eye, gleason and others are redefining what it means to be alive. here's his story. it was the play that brought back the city of new orleans, saints' steve gleason blocking the punt that would send his who dat nation to victory. the win was especially sweet because it was the saints' first home game in the superdome since hurricane katrina. in that moment, steve gleason, the handsome, 5'11", rock solid 212-pound safety, instantly became a new orleans hero. but five years later, in january of 2011, at age 33, gleason got the shocking news he was
5:45 am
diagnosed with als or lou gehrig's disease, a fatal condition that would soon paralyze him and rob him of his abilities to speak, eat, or breathe. >> the it the disease where the cells in your brain and spinal cord, the cells that control our muscles, slowly degenerate. they die. >> when i met steve and his wife michelle at their new orleans home in march, i was struck by just how young and how beautiful they are. their playful relationship and his flirtatious smile. >> he was just like this big he-man strong guy, and he's still strong in certain places, but it's a huge contrast. >> two years into the disease, steve is paralyzed and uses a synthetic voice to speak for him. >> it has not been easy. >> steve recently was thrust into the spotlight after three atlanta radio deejays mocked him using a fake automated voice as
5:46 am
his own. >> who's there? >> smother. >> smother who? >> smother me. do me a favor. >> the deejays were fired and apologized to steve later. steve issued a statement saying, "received and accepted. we have all made mistakes in this life. how we learn from our mistakes is the measure of who we are." steve says he's changed too. >> my capacity to love and to allow myself to be loved has been exponentially increased since my diagnosis. >> when steve first got the diagnosis, he and michel were faced with a critical decision, whether or not to have a child. >> in reality, i don't think i knew exactly what i was getting myself into or what he was getting himself into, let's be honest, but i still believe it's the best decision we've ever made as a couple. >> when rivers was born, steve also knew he'd soon lose his ability to speak. so he started recording bedtime
5:47 am
stories that he plays for rivers today. >> papa pea would find little pea off the spoon. >> the other big decision steve and michel made was to go public with the disease. >> this is the first time i've been in front of any cameras since we went public in september. so obviously, i don't know how to move or talk quite the way i used to. >> launching the no white flags campaign. at the super bowl in 2012, he teamed up with one of his mentors, former ravens linebacker o.j. brigantz, who also has als he teamed up with nfl players and coaches to create this dramatic psa. >> your mind keeps working, but your body doesn't respond. >> soon you can't hug your mother or pick up your child.
5:48 am
>> while steve doesn't believe head injuries from his nfl career led to the disease, researchers are looking into the possibility they may be linked, but steve is focused on improving technology to improve the quality of life for those with als. he's raised millions of dollars to build a state of the art facility in new orleans for als patients. >> turn on the ac, turn on the lights, and start working on their computers. >> it's outfitted with eye tracking technology like those in his home to give residents the ability to control everything around them. but even with all this, michel says they have their difficult days, most recently as they prepare for a dinner date. >> he's in a suit, just mad at the world, actually drove into the office and drove himself into the closet and got stuck and started crying. so i started crying and called my mom and said we're not going to come. she started crying. ten minutes later after we both sobbed, we said, look, we're going to do this. >> and they are doing it. steve marked his one-year anniversary with als with a sky
5:49 am
dive. he also sponsors adventure trips for other als patients, recently trekking up macchu piccu. steve says most people live as if they'll never die, and that's why he's living life to the fullest. this disease does not get the attention and resources as other illnesses because it's considered rare. that's in part because als patients die too quickly to be counted. if you'd like to read more about als and how you can help with a cure, visit malveauxmission.org. thank you for your attention.
