tv   Good Morning America  ABC  November 1, 2016 7:00am-9:00am CDT

7:00 am
good morning, america. and breaking right now, donald trump surging in our brand-new poll, topping hillary clinton for the first time since may. as she battles back against that fbi investigation, defiant and demanding answers. >> i am sure they will reach the same conclusion they did when they looke there is no case here. donald trump doubling down. >> the clinton crime spree ends. it's going to end on november 8th. >> both their campaign managers are here this morning with exactly one week until election day. breaking overnight halloween hayride disaster. at least three people killed. seven others injured when a truck plows into their trailer. ambulances and helicopters race to the scene.
7:01 am
the black friday deals are already starting this morning earlier than ever. the big amazon savings coming your way. and dangerous dip. a couple's late night swim interrupted by a crocodile sliding into the pool, snapping and attacking. the race to get out. the whole terrifying encounter caught on camera. we'll get to that video. her. but he came back for her. he came back for her. everybody is safe. good morning. good morning, america. we have a lot of news to get to. we hope everyone enjoyed halloween last night. >> i think everyone did. i don't think anybody had as much fun as the obamas who celebrate their last one in the white house. they there go. >> "thriller." >> kind of a dad dance there. >> we've seen him dance a little bit better than that. >> he was having a lot of fun. and of course, we're just one week away from the election.
7:02 am
it's a one-point lead right now, 46-45. >> it comes after that bombshell announcement from fbi director james comey. the justice department is now fast-tracking their investigation into those e-mails that could be linked to hillary clinton's private server. clinton firing back. and cecilia vega is in westchester, new york, with her campaign. good morning, cecilia. >> reporter: robin, good morning. the likelihood ts investigation is complete before election day is low. but there is one thing that both hillary clinton and donald trump have in common. they're both using the investigation to rally their supporters to the polls. hillary clinton on her campaign plane overnight letting loose with staffers after spending her day on the trail trying to extinguish the political fire engulfing her campaign. >> i'm sure a lot of you may be asking what this new e-mail
7:03 am
>> there is no case here. and they said it wasn't even a close call. and i think most people have decided a long time ago what they think about all of this. >> reporter: to cincinnati, clinton putting on a defiant front. >> look, i've said repeatedly, i -- um -- i made a mistake. if they want to look at some more e-mails of one of my staffers, by all means, go ahead. look at them. and i know they will same conclusion that they reached when they looked at my e-mails last year, right? >> reporter: that staffer, of course, huma abedin, hillary's top aide who hasn't been seen on the trail since friday when fbi director james comey announced that renewed investigation after new e-mails were discovered. those e-mails on anthony weiner's computer, abedin's estranged husband part of a separate investigation accused of sexting with a minor.
7:04 am
learned for the first time on friday from press reports of the possibility that a laptop belonging to mr. weiner could contain e-mails of hers. while the fbi has not contacted us about this, be, as she always has been, forthcoming and cooperative. the white house staying on the sidelines. >> i'll defend nor criticize what director comey has decided to communicate to the public about this. that director comey is intentionally trying to influence the outcome of an election. >> reporter: but out on the campaign trail, donald trump sounding thankful for a pre-election day surprise. >> good job, huma. thank you, anthony weiner. >> reporter: hillary clinton's strategy seems to be to try to tackle this one head on. she's talked about this investigation repeatedly on the campaign trail. the big question this morning,
7:05 am
nearly 25 million americans have already cast their ballots. george? >> thanks, cecilia. we are joined by hillary clinton's campaign manager robby mook. robby, thanks for joining us. i take cecilia's last point about a lot of early votes already in the bank but our new poll shows donald trump ahead for the first time since may. pretty dramatic drop over the last ten days. are you worried this race may slip away from you? >> i'm not, george. but what we are focused on right now is making sure every single one of our supporters understands how important it is that they turn out and vote. you know, the polls are going to go up and down and have done that the whole time on this race. we have a week to go. we're running like we're 20 points behind. >> there is some evidence you have taken a hit since that announcement from director comey. you are now accusing him of a double standard. hillary clinton accusing him of bowing to partisan pressure. are you worried at all that will come back to haunt you? >> i don't think so, george. you know, director comey has been criticized from both sides on this now. you have a former attorney
7:06 am
former attorney general under george w. bush both saying it was a mistake. you've had former justice department officials saying it was a mistake. and then we've come to learn from anonymous leaks that are coming out that director comey's own superiors at justice warned him not to do this. this is a break in protocol. then just yesterday we found out it was director comey who was privately trying to prevent the report that the russians were the one the dnc and from our campaign staff. >> "the new york times" is reporting this morning that fbi investigators have found no conclusive evidence of a direct link between trump and the russian government. do you accept that? >> well, what we are told they're investigating -- again, director comey said what he's doing with hillary clinton. he won't say what he's doing with donald trump. but what we're hearing from anonymous leaks is that they're investigating donald trump's ex-campaign manager over his connections to the russians. they're investigating carter
7:07 am
foreign policy advisers. >> this is an inquiry, not an investigation, to clarify the term. >> i'd like director comey to clarify that. he had no problem having a long press conference and editorializing about investigations into secretary clinton. i don't see why he can't come out and explain what's going on with donald trump. and it is particularly odd that he was the -- that he was the one who was privately trying to prevent the announcement that it was the security agencies said it was the russian that were stealing our e-mails, he was the one trying to prevent that from being released. >> another report in "the new york times" suggesting donald trump may have avoided hundreds of millions of dollars in taxes by failing to report forgiven debt as income. we'll ask david bossie about that. but it sure appears mr. trump is going to avoid releasing his tax returns before the election. >> you know, george, this is unprecedented for 40 years people have gone to the polls
7:08 am
early voting has already started. this is the first time in decades and what's particularly astounding about this recent report is that donald trump was writing off other people's losses. so not only did he not pay taxes for 20 years, he was writing off people's losses, some of the loopholes he was using are against the law. >> one week to go. are you going to win? >> we are going to win this election. but it's important that every one of our supporters turns out. >> robby mook, thank you very much. >> thanks, george. >> let's talk to david bossie, deputy campaign manager for donald trump. thanks for coming in. >> thanks for having me. >> you saw robby mook say he's going to win. you're ahead in our newest poll but the electoral college is stacked against you. >> it is but we're in great shape. we're on offense everywhere. hillary clinton, robby mook is understands what is going on. there is an enthusiasm gap for their voters. we're showing mr. trump is having 10,000, 20,000 people
7:09 am
getting people. >> walk us through your path. it is so narrow in that electoral college. >> you know what, it's narrow every four years. for us as the demographics have changed in these states. we're going to win. we're winning in florida right now and in north carolina right now. we're going to win ohio and iowa and that's the basis of our path to victory. >> public polls show her ahead in north carolina right now. but even if you win every state you just laid out, you still have to win other states that are solidly blue right now, like new hampshire. nevada or someplace like pennsylvania, michigan or wisconsin. >> and we' we're going to pick off something. we're competing right now heavily in pennsylvania, in new hampshire, michigan, wisconsin. new mexico. nevada. we're going to -- >> you concede you're behind in all those states right now. >> we concede it's within the margin of error. our enthusiasm. we have closed this gap as you pointed out dramatically over the last week, and we're going to continue to expand. mr. trump's message of hope, growth and opportunity that he's bringing to every american in every blue state is resonating
7:10 am
want four more years of clinton investigations which i've lived through. >> you talk about clinton investigations. but we do have this story in "the new york times" this morning about donald trump and his taxes, suggesting that he wrote off hundreds of millions of dollars in other people's losses, even though his tax advisers said it was a dubious plan. and here's what they say. the tax experts say the maneuver trampled a core tax policy by conferring enormous tax benefits amounts of other's people money. don't the american people have a right to know what mr. trump did there? >> sure, you know, i'm not familiar with that quote but mr. trump's under audit. mr. trump is going to release his -- >> this isn't audit. this was in the early 1990s. >> he's been under audit every year for 15 years. >> those cases are closed. >> i understand that. so i'm not familiar with that exact whose quote that is in "the new york times" which obviously had a big problem with mr. trump. has been incredibly unfair to
7:11 am
tax returns before the election? >> he's going to release them when his audit is complete. >> even though there are several returns not under audit? >> he's going to release them when he's not under audit. >> same question i asked robby mook. a week to go. are you going to win? >> we are going to win. our enthusiasm and ground game and what reince priebus has built is tremendous over the last four years. we have an incredible team that we are working well together. >> david bossie, thanks very much. >> thank you. >> all right, george, thank you. we heard from the campaigns about their own paths to win the election. but let's bring in jon karl to break down the strategies. trump.begin, jon, with donald >> well, good morning, robin. if you look at the polls you have seen some tightening like we've seen in the national polls in the states. but there's still a long way to go for donald trump. let's take a look at three of the most recent ones. in florida, trump is on the move. up 2. that's within the margin of error in the latest poll. but if you look at north carolina, another one of those must-win states for him, the
7:12 am
and then new hampshire, up seven in the latest poll. and we haven't seen a poll in new hampshire with a trump lead for a long, long time. so if you look at the map overall, this is the abc news race ratings. red states advantage trump, blue states, advantage hillary clinton. she still has a big advantage. to win, robin, what he needs to do is win every single one of the states that we classify as a toss-up. utah and arizona, republican out west. florida, north carolina, ohio. and even if he wins all of those states, even if he runs the table, he still is short of the 270 votes he would need to get elected to president and needs to flip a blue state. david bossie mentioned pennsylvania. if he can win pennsylvania, a state republicans haven't won in 16 years he gets more than 270 and would have enough to win. the bottom line here, robin, is
7:13 am
that will not be enough. >> let's go back for a moment, jon, to the new tracking poll, abc news tracking poll because people will wake up and see for the first time since may that donald trump is in the lead. >> yeah, so more than any single factor, what is driving that is enthusiasm. if you go back a week ago, trump had an advantage. his supporters were more enthusiastic about him than hillary clinton's supporters were about her. that has now flipped. so, you know, hillary clinton had -- i did it the wrong way. hillary clinton had the advantage a week ago. now trump has the advantage. >> you know, we're in a place right now where it's possible that on either side, you could have one candidate win the popular vote and one win the electoral college. >> if you look at our poll and take it literally that's what would happen. we've seen that happen before. >> we have seen it happen before. >> and we'll know exactly one week from today. we're going to have full team coverage for you starting tuesday night at 7:00 p.m. eastern.
7:14 am
you can also download the abc news app for breaking updates and live-streams. one week from today. >> one week from today. and now, let's turn to that scary halloween accident. and linsey davis is here. what a terrible tragedy. >> reporter: this is a tough one. it's the kind of scene that played out, no doubt, all over the country. people donning their costumes and taking in mississippi the fun turned into horror after a crash that's now claimed three lives. just before 8:00 p.m. this flatbed truck collided into the back of a hayride packed with revelers celebrating halloween. two children and one adult killed. all members of the same family. >> there's multiple injuries. and multiple fatalities. f-150 pickup ran into the rear of the trailer. >> reporter: at least seven others believed to be injured. [ sirens ] multiple ambulances raced to the
7:15 am
several of the injured are still fighting for their lives this morning. >> this is a bad thing to happen anywhere but when it's local it really -- it really hits home. >> reporter: both vehicles were heading west on highway 80 in mississippi when the truck slammed into the hayride. the county coroner descr scene as chaos. there were ten victims in all, several are described as having life-threatening injuries. the condition of the pickup driver is yet to be released. certainly a tragic day for this now, amy, you have the morning's other top stories for us. what do you got? >> that's right. thousands of commuters in philadelphia are now looking for a different way to get to work now that transit workers have gone on strike shutting down bus and subway service. the main contract issue is over pensions. the two sides are said to be far apart. and there are concerns a prolonged strike could keep some voters from getting to the polls next week. gas prices could rise following an explosion that has shut down one of the largest fuel pipelines in the country. one worker was killed.

7:32 am
>> reporter: she walked jurors through family photos and home videos showing harris to be a dedicated father. harris cried with her. he's charged with murder and is pleading not guilty, saying he simply forgot to drop the boy off at this day care. he and his 22-month-old son are seen here in su rv from a that morning. earlier this year harris and taylor divorced. but she still told jurors harris was a good dad and that her son's death was an accident. >> it was the only thing that went in my mind as even a remote possibly, he was never checked in. if he was never checked in then he must have forgot. >> reporter: while she's no longer a suspect, police say they investigated taylor after she was overheard asking if he said too much to authorities. taylor explained in court that at the time she didn't understand why harris was being charged and thought maybe this was why.
7:33 am
doesn't have anything to say. >> reporter: prosecutors argue that harris killed his son because he really wanted a child-free life. while his son was dying in this suv parked outside, harris was inside his office sexting with other women. taylor agreed they had marriage problems, but she told the court he was still a good father. >> he wanted to be with him enjoying every second he could with him. >> reporter: one other point to add. there were a accusations that harris looked up websites about hot car deaths before his son died. but that was knocked down pretty hard in court. hard for many to believe but there may be plenty of room for reasonable doubt here. george. >> let's bring that to our legal analysts, dan abrams and nancy grace, author of the new book, "murder in the courthouse." there it is right there. dan, let me begin with you. i want to pick up where steve left off. you've been following it closely.
7:34 am
prosecution's case and watching her testimony, not only do i think the case is weak i think he may be innocent of the murder charge. remember this claim about the child-free site he was on. turns out somebody sent him a link. what did he write back? grossness. remember the claim that he was trying to get a vacation without his child. well, turns out the night before his child died he reached out to a travel agent about a vacation with his child. you also have even some of these women with whom he was having an affair saying he said he would leave his wife except for the fact that he loved his child. now you've got his ex-wife, ex-wife's testimony which is so powerful in his defense. and i'm starting to think this really, really could have been a horrible accident. >> reasonable doubt, nancy? >> i don't see it. many of the things dan just said are true, but you can't get around -- i mean, the hooker, the other women, the sexting, all of that is just icing on the cake.
7:35 am
the logistics of that day alone support the state's case. i went to the scene. i drove the distance he drove. the monitors in chick-fil-a that the jury is seeing showed the baby alive, alert, well, laughing. i've looked at them. i drove the distance. what, he forgot his child was in the backseat in two minutes? before he went into work he had to reach in the backseat to get his bag. he forgot his child? he goes inside. he sits there all day and doesn't remember. he even stages a trip to the car at lunch time and goes in the car, with the baby in the car. >> let's talk about that. which is one of these claims that was one of the most horrible claims. this idea that he goes back to the car at lunch time, a sort of staged effort to make sure that the child may be dead or something.
7:36 am
lightbulbs. he threw lightbulbs into the car. they went to his house to determine whether he had lightbulbs that were out. guess what, he did. and when you look at the video it backs up his story. >> did i just hear you say he went in his car? he went in his car? and, dan, isn't it true that when we went in his car, his child was dying or dead many the car seat in the car. >> correct. he didn't go in his car. he threw something in his car. >> forget the lightbulbs. i don't care. he had t something in the car. >> you need the care because it's a relevant fact. >> the child is in there dying, yes. the child is dead or dying. he opens the door, puts something in. not only that, at 3:00, he texts his wife, hey, are you picking up my buddy? ding, ding, it never hit him? i left the kid in the car. >> think about this -- >> then he goes back to the car at 5:00 after announcing to the security guard, hey, i'm going to a movie. >> the claim is -- the claim is --
7:37 am
you go through the entire account of the story. hang on one sec. the claim is he deletes all of his search history, right, because he's trying to hide this from the authorities. and yet -- wait, wait, wait. >> the logistics. >> wait, wait, wait. and then the same day, he is texting all these women, right? so he's carefully and metic meticulously cleaning out his search history and yet the day it happens, he's texting with women? resolved. should he take the stand? >> no. >> nancy? >> the reason they put her on the stand is so he wouldn't have to take the stand. >> she was great. he doesn't need to. >> the judge will tell the jury, hey, it's just direct. wait until cross is done. >> cross is going on. they haven't made much progress. >> you guys will be back. thanks very much. >> well it's not over yet. >> yeah, all right. >> that's the last word. michael, what's coming up on the big board? >> that's far from over.
7:38 am

7:40 am
walk away. oh, caught us there. welcome back. time for our big board. our team of insiders standing by live for more on this morning's top stories and jon karl is back here, back by demand here at the table. we'll start with hillary clinton. hitting the trail on monday in the key swing state of ohio and, of course, this comes after that fbi e-mail bombshell. but how much do october surprises like this one actually affect the polls? you've been doing a little research. this is not the first time we've had something like this happen. >> at least now it's november so we don't usually have november surprises but, look, we've seen a bunch of these. here are a couple. one, i don't know if you remember 2000, five days before the election, news comes out
7:41 am
arrested for drunk driving years earlier in maine. i'll never forget when the news broke. i was covering al gore with him in new mexico. that clearly had an impact on the race. you looked at the polling before the race, bush had a comfortable lead. the polls closed and as you remember we had virtually a tie on election day. but then if you look, there are some others that people thought at the time would have an impact and didn't. october 29th of 2004, osama bin laden releases a tape and everybody thinks this is goi up terrorism. it had virtually no impact on the race. another one, kind of echoes this one. i'll give you one more, 1992, the other george bush, cap weinberger secretary of defense for reagan is indicted on october 30th. indicted, a second indictment. this brings up the iran-contra thing. this looks really bad for bush. bush was down when the news came out. he actually if you look at the polling might have come up a little bit and then, of course, he lost anyway. it didn't have much of an
7:42 am
going to affect this election? >> you got october surprises on both sides. >> we've had so many october surprises. i mean, my god, the whole campaign has been a surprise. i think this one has clearly already had an impact. we talked earlier in the show about the enthusiasm for hillary is down and for trump it's up. clearly had an impact. i don't think it will have a decisive impact on the race. but it's definitely had an impact. >> people at this point have pretty much made up their mind. >> not a lot of undecided voters out there. should i vote for hillary, should i vote for trump? >> either one of you do uber or lyft? >> yeah, sure. uh huh. >> here's something for both of you. next up we have an alarming new study about uber and lyft. they found evidence of racial discrimination and sexism by some drivers. and becky worley is joining us now. and becky, i use the service. as you see, everybody here does. what is the study telling us?
7:43 am
plaque or female is harder than it is for white men. let's get the numbers. researchers conducted experiments on the three big ride-sharing services. we're talking lyft, ride-share. for blacks with african-american sounding name, cancellations rose and wait times 25% longer. for women they rode the same distance but it took 6% longer and that means they cost more. the authors explain that as a combination of profiteering and flirting to a captive audience, the takeaway when user profiles indicate race and male drivers have women passengers in the car there is a quantifiable difference in service. >> how are the companies responding to this research, becky? >> you know, the folks at lyft saying their service did better than uber in the study and added
7:44 am
on communities of color. they go on, because of lyft, people in underserved areas that taxis have historically neglected these neighborhoods are getting more transportation. and they told us they don't tolerate discrimination in any form. uber says taxis were problematic and say studies like this one are helpful in thinking about how they can do even more. so we'll see. >> all right. >> maybe coming up with a way not to show your name. >> that would be a way of going about it. thank you very much. maybe they're because up next, that big game. the cleveland indians back at home. and one game away, as you know, from winning it all. but the cubs are putting up a fight. espn's eduardo perez is on the field. good for you to get up and join us. okay, just tell us, what do you think is going to happen tonight? >> well, i think the cleveland indians are going to win and one of the biggest reasons is because they play really well at
7:45 am
the chicago cubs have two big guys going for them in game six, jake arrieta and potentially game seven with kyle hendricks which is the favorite to win the cy young. two cy young award winners if hendricks wins it. the cubs need to keep it on the ground in order to win the game. this is the other issue, cleveland doesn't believe that the cubs are going to win. so much so that the cavaliers moved their game next door t see if their fans will then watch the game here or just jump on over with the cavs and get a suite and watch the cleveland indians get the championship. >> look, celebration they're thinking. >> was another reason you predicted they would win in six. so you need your prediction to come true. what do they have to do to make your prediction come true? >> well, one thing that they'll have to do is get josh tomlin
7:46 am
get the ball to andrew miller. he's been lights-out all post season. he's been phenomenal with that sweeping slider. guys have been swinging and missing through it. getting the ball to allen. all you have to do for terry francona is get to the bull pen. miller did not throw for the last two days. he's fresh, ready to go. and if they score runs it could be all over for the cubs. >> all right, so we know what you feel. becky, what is your call? what is your cal >> sorry. i'm out. i got nothing. >> the biggest thing is i'm rooting for game seven. this has to go to game seven and i want cubs to win game seven on the road, just like the cavs won on the road. >> give me something. we got to break that curse. >> what about you? >> i'm with jon. i want it to go seven. the cubs have been -- >> i don't know if george will let us go back and sit with him at the desk after this.
7:47 am
>> it is a win/win, seven games just let cleveland win in the seventh. >> all right. there's a compromise. >> regardless we love you. >> we got it settled. thanks to everyone. we appreciate that. coming up in two minutes, that terrifying crocodile attack. a six-foot beast jumping into a pool. how the couple survived. and royal romance has an american actress won prince harry's heart? the new reporting this morning. come on back. >> hmm. we asked woman to smell two body washes and pick their favorite. i prefer b.

7:50 am
>> perhaps. >> you said something funny about the crocodile. >> i don't want to say it on air. >> the crocodile didn't get her, she was going to get him. he was going to lose either way. we have a slo-mo of the attack. it's really frightening. look at that, boom, he's out of the water. just dove right out. >> not a good natural instinct. >> maybe he was trying to think he could get something -- let's give hip the benefit of the doubt. >> if that was his that. >> what you're trying to say -- >> viewers think that looks staged. >> no. >> george believes it's real. >> okay. >> yesterday's was real too. i'm convinced. >> yesterday weigh as real. >> the loch ness monster is tout there somewhere. >> a lot of stars coming up. mel gibson, benedict cumberbatch. we'll work it out. for millions of baby boomers there's a virus out there.
7:51 am
but it hasn't been talked about much. a virus that's been almost forgotten. it's hepatitis c. one in 30 boomers has hep c, yet most don't even know it. that's because hep c can hide in your body silently for years, even decades, without symptoms and it's not tested for in routine blood work. if left untreated, hep c can cause liver damage, even liver cancer. but there's important information for us: the cdc recommends all baby boomers get tested for hep c. all it takes is a simple one-time blood test. and if you have hep c, it can be cured. be sure to ask your doctor to get tested for hep c. for us it's time to get tested.

8:34 am
and everything but when you don't get that, how does it affect the rest of your life? i went back and looked at starting with super bowl iii. the coals getting up set by the jets and looked at the '86 world series, michael jordan, dan jansen at the olympics. the super bowl when the patriots had the perfect season, your giants upset them. but we talked to people on losing end to find out how they bounce back from that adversity or attempted to. because i think there's life lessons for all of us. we'll have hathings to overcome. what lessons can we get? >> what are some that you learned in sharing stories. >> i think one of the things pete carroll was really instrumental in doing this and talked about having lost the super bowl two years ago down to the goal line. >> why didn't he make that call? >> people are still asking that question. you no he, because they were on the verge of doing back-to-back. he believed in the process of
8:35 am
do. he and his team examined right away why they lost that game and took responsibility for it. that's the only way you have to move forward. that's what i learned. i look at his example about trying to rebound immediately and being honest and truthful with yourself as to why it happened and somebody like calvin by recall di and everybody blames big buckner but he blew a one-run lead and two-run lead in the tenth. >> everybody talks about that. >> nobody talks about him yet 30 years later his wife said up all these walls to protect himself. he only pitched in the majors four more years and said it was because of the adversity and the way people treated him after that. >> overreaction when you said that. that's so startling to hear something like that. isn't it? >> he retreated and 0 years later his wife said you're not the guy that i met, that i married. he started therapy in 2013 and i juxtapose him not addressing the
8:36 am
marriage and pete carroll said let's deal with this. >> great transferable life lessons to any scenario. i did not know that story. that is remarkable. >> you know what, let's go from books to dogs. >> i love this stovry. >> i got two rescue dog, abby, a 5-year-old lab. and toby who's just over a year old and runs the house, a corgi french bulldog. >> did you say >> there's yours. >> oh, yeah. >> we have somebody that we really -- >> that's toby right there. >> get ready to meet our toby. this is a 10-year-old beagle looking for a new home. toby, comen out here. >> toby. >> you can have three. >> put him on the table. >> he's a senior so he's a little set in his ways. >> we wanted you to meet toby.
8:37 am
to find forever homes in this mon and we've gotten some great numbers for you which i cannot wait to share with you but toby's story was really -- he was a bit of a heartbreak story and stole our hearts at our livestream event in philadelphia. the story with toby is he found his home as an adult two years ago with two owners that absolutely loved him and loved saving beagles. sadly the mom owner passed away and then shortly thereafter the dad passed away so toby found himself back i home. so happy and i guess the message for us is don't just consider puppies and small dogs. i've adopted a full grown dog. they're already trained and they're so grateful. their demeanors are set and get a real idea of who they are before you bring them home and toby is just one of those many examples. >> he likes you. he's staring at you. >> oh, hi, toby. >> uh-oh. somebody is going home with another dog. >> one of the great things

>> it's the room that people see first when they come to the white house so i think it should be a pretty room. >> reporter: people have been eager for a glimpse of the private quarters of 1600 pennsylvania avenue and how each presidential family makes them their own. >> i think the obama family has made their biggest mark on the personal quarters through artwork. it has a slightly more modern contemporary -- maybe a slightly edgier feel. >> reporter: working with designer michael smith, michelle obama chose works from contemporary artists like robert roushenberg and alma thomas, the first african-american female artist to be featured in the white house. >> we know mrs. obama has gone to great efforts with her own wardrobe and the statement that makes and i think the artwork is a piece of that, is a continuation of making a statement of inclusiveness. >> reporter: in some cases they also kept things the same.
