good morning, america. donald trump flying high. the republican front-runner takes a late night victory lap after the debate and turns a new page in his campaign. >> i've been a little bit divisive in the sense that i've been hitting people pretty hard. >> a little bit. >> yeah. >> what will he do with air trump one if he wins the presidency? as hillary clinton gets set to take the stage in her next showdown. anger on the streets of baltimore overnight. protesters demonstrating as that jury deadlocked in the first trial of an officer charged in freddie gray's death. police clearing streets, making arrests, tensions running high this morning. that texas teenager infamous for being ruled too spoiled to serve jail time after a deadly drunk driving crash on the run right now, missing. is his millionaire family

helping him avoid justice? ♪ hit me with your best shot bounce of a lifetime. a minnesota mom hitting this miracle half-court shot to help pay for her daughter's school. her reaction, priceless. and why that shot is helping so many more families in need this morning. ♪ see if i care ♪ i get back on my feet again good morning, america. pat benatar appropriate this morning. that shot went just like angela planned it. >> sure. >> bounces right in. perfect. come on. >> it counts. it counts. she is going to be here and her daughter, as well. there was another amazing moment last night. superstar abby wambach taking her cleats off for the last time retiring after a remarkable career. she had an incredible message that she'll share. >> remarkable is right. what a career.

gearing to get to that. but we begin with the race for president. donald trump on jimmy kimmel last night seems to be kicking off a new phase of his campaign, a little more mellow, calling for unity in the republican party. abc's jon karl is here with the latest. a little more statesman for trump. >> yeah, george. we'll see how long it lasts, but donald trump acknowledged, he's been a little bit divisive and suggests that he's now ready go a little easier on his republican rivals. overnight on "jimmy kimmel live" donald trump touted his latest debate performance but insisted he pulled his punches. >> did you decide you were going to be nicer? >> you know what, i would like to see the republican party come together and i've been a little bit divisive in the sense that i've been hitting people -- >> a little bit, yeah. [ laughter ] >> do you think jeb bush is scared of you or just scared in general? >> i think he's scared. [ laughter and applause ] >> reporter: but kimmel pressed trump on his recent call to ban all muslims from entering the united states. >> isn't it unamerican and wrong to discriminate people based on their religion?

[ applause ] >> i'm for it. but look, we have people coming into our country that are looking to do tremendous harm. >> reporter: but trump played along when kimmel gave him the dr. seuss treatment. >> now here are some frogs i do not like at all. we must kick these frogs out and then build a wall. there are two kinds of people, which one will you be, a loser like them -- would you like to finish -- or a winner -- >> -- like me. >> please welcome the next president of the united states. >> reporter: for his trip to late night, trump rallied his die-hard supporters in arizona. >> we have the biggest crowds by far. because there's a movement folks. this isn't just like let's go and have a good time. somebody said, oh, trump is a great entertainer. that's a lot of [ bleep ]. >> reporter: with his commanding lead in the polls, the

republican front-runner is flying high. and abc news got an exclusive ride aboard trump force one. while it's flying high now, trump says if he wins the white house, he may just leave his private plane in the hangar. >> there's something very special about air force one. let's face it. it represents something very, very special like the white house represents something. >> reporter: trump is clearly enjoying his position as the front-runner among republicans, but it's the democratic front-runner he may need be to worried about. in most public polls hillary clinton beats donald trump in a head-to-head matchup and actually does better against trump than any of the other republican candidates. mrs. clinton, of course, squares off against her democratic opponents, bernie sanders and martin o'malley, on saturday right here on abc in the next democratic debate. >> up in new hampshire for that. martha raddatz and david muir will be here saturday night at 8:00. we're going to talk about the fallout in baltimore after a mistrial was declared in the case of that first police officer charged in the death of freddie gray. protests mostly peaceful

overnight and abc's jim avila is in baltimore with the latest. good morning, jim. >> reporter: good morning, robin. calls for justice this morning but overnight the call was for peace from community organizers and that along with an overwhelming show of police force kept the night calm. these are the moments after a mistrial was announced in the freddie gray case. a jury deadlocked. unable to come to a decision about officer william porter's alleged role in the 25-year-old's death. baltimore sheriff's deputies moving into place, surrounding the courthouse, and making a handful of arrests. >> get out of the way. >> move, move. >> reporter: forcefully clearing the streets. gray's family stood outside the courtroom and called for peace expressing faith in the system that could not convict the first of six baltimore police officers charged in connection with their loved one's death. >> we ask the public to remain calm, patient, because we are confident that there will be another trial with a different jury.

>> reporter: overnight, protests grew larger but remained overwhelmingly peaceful. >> all: shut it down. >> reporter: freddie gray died this spring after being chased and arrested by baltimore police. but he was never charged with any crime. officer porter was not involved in gray's arrest and wasn't driving the police van where he suffered fatal injuries. but prosecutors charge the 26-year-old with manslaughter claiming he could have put a seat belt on gray, or called a medic when the victim asked for one during several stops on the way to jail but the jury of seven blacks and five whites struggled in the jury room for 16 hours over three days and could not reach a unanimous verdict on any of the four charges against porter. the most serious, involuntary manslaughter. the prosecutor did not reveal strategy or timing for a retrial. >> are you disappointed at all? >> reporter: reached by phone overnight, officer porter told "the baltimore sun" it's not over.

he has denied guilt in gray's death but is likely to face another trial with a new jury. the trials of the other five cops charged, scheduled to begin in january. robin. >> all right, jim, thank you. we turn to abc news legal affairs anchor dan abrams for more on this. explain exactly what this mistrial means. >> this means that the judge is saying there's no way that this jury could reach a unanimous verdict and as a result you're effectively starting again. it's as if no trial had happened. look, it's not that surprising that prosecutors are having a tough time here. >> why do you say that? >> you're talking about police inaction. typically in cases where police are on trial we're talking about what the police did, they shot someone. and were they justified or not. here we're talking about what police officers didn't do, they didn't do enough. they didn't strap him in in a seat belt. they didn't get him medical help. that's not an easy case to win. >> with this particular officer because there are others involved and they're going to be going on trial, but with this particular officer, were the charges perhaps not correct for him? >> look, i think and i said this

before, i think the prosecutor was overly aggressive here that the prosecutor could have and should have across the board considered lesser crimes here in the hope of getting convictions. the danger always when you overcharge is that some jurors look at it and say, wait a second, what. you're alleging that this officer should be sent to prison for doing this? that seems like a little much. i think that's a concern. >> the jury may think, yes, he did something wrong but not to the standards of what the charges were. now this mistrial, what do you think that says about the other trials coming up? >> i think these will be very tough trials but some are going to be harder than others. >> we'll be watching, dan, thanks. there are new e-mail questions for a member of the obama cabinet. defense secretary ash carter used a personal account for public business for several months after taking over at the pentagon. he now says that was a mistake and abc's mary bruce is in washington with the story. good morning, mary. >> reporter: hi, good morning, george. defense secretary ash carter

admits he made a mistake breaking defense department rules by using his personal e-mail for official business even as hillary clinton was coming under fire for doing the same thing as secretary of state. carter has now stopped using the account and even gone further limiting his use of e-mail altogether. the pentagon says carter never sent classified information over the personal account and the secretary is confident his work-related e-mails are preserved. carter now faces this controversy as he visits commanders in iraq. there is no question, this is an embarrassment for the white hour, and will likely draw attacks from republicans who say the administration isn't doing enough to safeguard sensitive information. george. >> not what they want right now, mary, thanks very much. >> all right, george. stocks around the world rising this morning after that big decision from the federal reserve raising interest rates for the first time since the financial crises started. wall street reacting positively, the dow jumping 224 points and rebecca jarvis is here to explain what this all means. good morning, rebecca. >> hi, robin, good morning to you. this impacts all of us and here's how. it's going to get more expensive for anyone who wants to borrow

money. that means a new car loan, a new mortgage, your credit cards, they will all cost you a little more. you're going to see it very first in those credit card bills. most of us have variable rates. they're going up in the next one to two billing cycles so the best thing you can do for yourself here pay off as much of that debt as possible because it will keep getting more expensive as rates rise next year. robin. >> that's the bad news but there is some good news here, too, right, rebecca? >> there is good news here, robin. and it's the best news for savers. retirees living on a fixed income, they have really felt the downside of these 0% interest rates. now that rates are going up they'll get paid a little bit more on their savings and cds. >> can we expect more rate hikes? >> we will expect more rate hikes. in fact, the federal reserve is signaling we should probably see interest rates next year rise between 1% and 1.5%. >> tells us where the direction of the economy is going. all right, rebecca, thanks. the latest on ethan couch the texas teenager who killed

four people driving drunk but got off with just probation after his lawyers argued that ethan was too spoiled to know right from wrong. he's now being hunted by police for flaunting the terms of his probation and abc's matt gutman has the story. >> reporter: this morning, the texas teen infamous for that affluenza defense. >> affluenza. >> too rich for jail. >> reporter: missing. >> if we have a top ten wanted list today, he's number one. >> reporter: 18-year-old ethan couch convicted in 2013 of four counts of intoxication manslaughter allegedly going off the radar possibly with his mother last week just days after this video surfaced on twitter, purporting to show him at a party near a beer pong table but not drinking, the tweeter tagging the local district attorney referring to him violating probation. couch is prohibited from drinking during his ten-year probation. now the d.a.'s office issuing

the equivalent of an arrest warrant, possible probation violations, including skipping a check-in with a probation officer and that twitter post. >> once that video came out that they felt like that a probation violation could be coming. he's going to have to look over his shoulder the rest of his life and we're going to keep looking and we're not going to stop. >> how many people are injured? >> one, two, three -- multiple. >> multiple. >> i don't even know how many. >> reporter: couch who was 16 at the time pled guilty in 2013 to killing four people in a drunk driving crash. then 18-year-old says he was so tanked he remembered none of it. >> do you remember pulling out of the driveway? >> not really. >> what's the next thing you recall? >> waking up handcuffed to the hospital bed. >> reporter: before his sentencing, his legal team said he suffered not from memory loss but from affluenza. arguing the teen frequently lived the life of an adult in this 4,000-square-foot mansion. the judge giving him what critics called a wrist slap, a decade of probation.

>> i made it clear to the judge that i believe firmly that if he was put on probation, if he was given another slap on the wrist, if he got away with this there was no doubt in my mind he would be back in the system and someone else would suffer. >> reporter: someone else might be killed by him? >> someone else might be killed. he might be killed. >> reporter: george, ethan has never once apologized for killing those four people. that apparent lack of remorse plus his family's wealth and the fact that he seems to be missing along with his mother is causing authorities to fear that not only has he skipped probation check-ins but he might have skipped the country entirely. george. >> wow, not even an apology. thanks very much. let's go to amy for today's other top stories. you have a deadly highway shooting in oklahoma. >> that's right. two people have been killed after police say a man started shooting randomly at vehicles in interstate 40 in oklahoma. they include a man who was driving with his wife and a woman who was shot as the gunman opened fire on tractor trailers. police say the shooter was later pulled over for dui. no word on a possible motive for the shootings. and new details about the

attackers in the san bernardino rampage. the fbi says before syed farook and tashfeen malik met in person they communicated online using private messages, not social media. investigators say they have found no evidence the couple was directed by foreign terrorists. the two were reportedly buried at a muslim cemetery tuesday during a service guarded by the fbi. a new study claims lifestyle choices, not genetics, are to blame for most cancer cases. researchers found up to 90% of cancers are most likely caused by the patient's life-style and poor environment, including smoking, diet, lack of exercise, pollution and stress. the findings contradict earlier researchers that blamed most cancers on genes and bad luck. if you think american political campaigns are rough, watch this. the prime minister in spain was punched in the head by a teenager. you see that? he continued, though, to give his speech despite a swelling face. the teen was later arrested.

finally going way beyond the call of duty, the driver of this tractor trailer in nebraska was having a seizure so a sheriff's deputy zoomed ahead to the left, pulled over. can you see him there? he dashed across two lanes of traffic and leapt into the moving truck's cab to stop the truck and rescue the driver. that driver is now recovering and, you know, that police officer could certainly have a career in hollywood. mission impossible. it looked like it. >> unbelievable. >> it looked like you're watching a movie but that's real life. >> so brave. >> thank you, amy. what a night for women's soccer. celebrating the great abby wambach as she played her last game for team usa, t.j. holmes is here with that and, t.j., whoo, so much emotion last night. >> 33,000 people in that stadium, everybody crying. this is what i need you to do, forget abby wambach per her instructions, forget her name, her number, her accomplishments. she said for it to move forward, the game of soccer, you got to stop looking back. forget you, abby, that's an awful lot to ask.

>> tonight, she plays her final game for the united states. >> reporter: overnight an emotional farewell for a legend. abby wambach wearing the captain's arm band playing a tough 71 minutes for team usa. >> final time for abby wambach. in a usa uniform. >> reporter: before removing her cleats on the field. a standing ovation for number 20's 255th international appearance and the u.s. national team's heartbreaking loss against china wednesday night. >> the streak is over. >> it would be better if we had won, but the reality is i played in so many games this result doesn't shape or determine or define my career. >> reporter: tweeting this good-bye message wednesday. >> forget me. forget my number. forget my name. >> reporter: the sentiment echoed in this simple message. >> i want to leave a legacy where the ball keeps rolling

forward. >> reporter: the 35-year-old's stellar international career spanning 14 years. >> history is made. >> reporter: the world's leading scorer for both men and women with 184 international goals. >> abby wambach has saved the usa's life. >> reporter: two olympic gold medals. >> and there's one. >> reporter: and who can forget that 2015 world cup title. >> give all of yourself to whatever you want to do in your life as a passion. i love you guys so much. >> reporter: yeah, and her point there, george, robin, is that we want to see the game of soccer. u.s. soccer doing so well that we don't even remember the name. we're not continuing to talk about abby wambach, but good luck with that. >> yeah. >> yeah. >> we're not going to forget. >> makes us want to talk about her all the more with that humility. >> it's so genuine. it's always been about the game, not herself. even when the whole team was together in times square and had

a great celebration at city hall it was the first time a women's sports team had been recognized like that and she kept putting all the emphasis on the sport, on little girls and boys and not herself. not surprising at all. >> she set the bar high. >> if you would like to know more about her and you should our good friends at espnw.com. more and more about abby there. a great story. now we got some trouble. snow in the northern plains? >> yes, so duluth had more than 8 inches of snow. you can see the video right here. behind that storm you're seeing the snow from and the reality check of december there is a booster shot of true december air that's coming in that will remind us, take us from hoodies and being comfortable without a coat to not so much. by saturday morning it feels like 5 in chicago, 10 in detroit, 25 in atlanta, 22 in boston. let's get to the rainy cities now. 10 in detroit, 25 in atlanta, 22 in boston.

come happy birthday. i just had a heart attack... and now i have a choice. for her. for them. and him. a choice to take brilinta. a prescription for people who've been hospitalized for a heart attack. i take brilinta with a baby aspirin ...no more than 100 mg. as it affects how well it works. it's such an important thing to do to help protect against another heart attack. brilinta worked better than plavix. and even reduced the chances of dying from another one. don't stop taking brilinta without talking to doctor. since stopping it too soon increases your risk of clots in your stent, heart attack, stroke, and even death.

brilinta may cause bruising or bleeding more easily or serious, sometimes fatal bleeding. don't take brilinta if you have bleeding, like stomach ulcers. a history of bleeding in the brain, or severe liver problems. tell your doctor about bleeding, new or unexpected shortness of breath, any planned surgery and all medicines you take. i will take brilinta today. tomorrow. and every day for as long as my doctor tells me. don't miss a day of brilinta. she might not be lebron, but angela's half-court shot has become an instant highlight sensation, the bloomington, minnesota, mom with the chance to make the big basket thanks to her amazing fund-raising for a children's hunger charity and joins us now. >> counts in more ways than one. that bounce basket won angela and her family half off grace's school tuition next year which is big.

that my season on 'dancing with the stars' has come to an end" but then after the blood clots cleared more medical drama. she was diagnosed with thoracic outlet syndrome, a condition often caused when athletes overuse their upper extremities and it compresses the subclavian vein. she needed surgery to remove her rib. >> i've never had surgery before. >> reporter: in her reality show with husband vincent herbert she shares how afraid she was even hiring a spiritual counselor. >> you got to have somebody that's constantly on -- you know, tamar, keep the faith, don't give up on you. >> reporter: for "good morning america," linsey davis, abc news, new york. >> we want to talk to dr. richard besser more about this. so give us more details and any correlation with the blood clots? >> yeah, well, let me show you on this graphic. there's this space that's right above your first rib and below your collarbone, and through that go through important things, an artery, a vein and a nerve and they're pressed with a muscle and what happens is if

that space gets a little smaller it can put pressure on those structures and you get something called thoracic outlet syndrome. if it pushes on the nerve, that can cause tingling and pain in your arm. if it pushes on the artery, it can cut down on blood flow and the arm can get cold and painful. but if it pushes on that vein, a clot can form in your arm and that can go back to your lungs. >> sometimes people feel that pain is a heart pain related to the heart. >> well, it can feel very similar. you know, we talk to people about heart pain being if you get a pain shooting down your arm, think about your heart. that pain often comes on with exercise. this pain here is there all the time. but if you have either of those pains, you need to get those checked out. >> but when we saw that tamar had a rib removed -- >> yeah. >> -- that really got our attention. >> looking back at this graphic you see that first rib at the top that's pressing on everything. she had that rib there removed and that opened up that space and took the pressure off of that vein and that should take

care of the problem. you see this thing in athletes who are often doing exercises with their arms up. it causes those muscles to enlarge. one of the braves pitchers had this done a couple months ago. but you can see it in people who also broke their collarbone, you know, doing exercise or in a fall. >> oh, my goodness, rich, thanks very much. appreciate it. george. >> thanks, robin. all of us have a year or two to go until this happens, but holiday time, the time when teens and young adults bring on their new partners for the first time. lots of new studies say parents influence their relationships and we read about this great story in "the wall street journal," and linzie janis has tips. >> mom, dad, this is greg. >> reporter: 'tis the season to meet the parents. >> be nice to this one, okay. >> okay, i'll try. >> reporter: that awkward first encounter so many moms and dads dread. >> i will be watching you. >> reporter: take robert de niro in "meet the parents" playing the overprotective dad.

>> have you ever watched pornographic videos? >> no. >> reporter: but according to dr. we nchltwendol you don't have to be that parent. his ongoing research reveals surprisingly you're more in control of your kids' romantic relationships than you think. >> parents have more influence on their children's roman take lives than they expect. if the parent has a good relationship with their child they're going to be more credibility and that takes some trial and error. >> reporter: trial and error is what elliott did. his daughter madison's latest boyfriend apparently struggled with her dad's initial interrogation. >> my dad will want to ask questions, and then my friend will just give one-worded answers because he's just dying on the inside. >> reporter: but if all hell breaks loose, dr. furman says it's best to bite your tongue. >> parents don't want to have their child have to make a choice between having a relationship with them, the parent, or the romantic partner.

>> reporter: for "good morning america," linzie janis, abc news, new york. >> some good advice there. let's get more on this now from ericka souter, our friend ericka souter. and, you know, there was a lot of good advice there but what do you say to parents for that first meeting? >> it's normal to go into judgmental mode. this is your baby. they're bringing home someone. is this person good enough? so your human nature kicks in. and you are very hypercritical. but the most important thing to do is just relax. you know, it's the holidays. have fun with your kids. create new memories and think of it that way. we also want to have an open mind. yes, this person isn't likely to be who you envisioned for your prince or your princess but that's okay. lastly, having an open heart. you know, this kid coming into your house or this person coming into your house is nervous to meet you and want to impress you so embrace them and make them feel comfortable. >> let's say you give the person a chance but after three or four months or a year you really don't like hem. >> that's when moms put their foot down. i don't like this person for x, y, z.

and often the effect is the romeo and juliet effect and it drives the kid right into their arms. >> the children will never forget those words. what if they end up together. >> exactly. so the best thing to do is let it run its course. if it's the first boyfriend or girlfriend, it will probably end anyway. so it's best to see how it plays out and be more supportive. >> how about -- go ahead. >> you don't want them to choose you or them. that's the bottom line. >> right, you also want to have this open relationship and you want to talk to your kids. you want your kids to come to you and say, you know, this is why i like this person. these are the problems i'm having so you want an open and honest relationship with your kids especially when they're dating. >> ericka souter, thanks very much. let's go over to amy. we are in the final days of the year, which means it is time for barbara walters' annual ten most fascinating people special, always one of the most anticipated specials of the year. bradley cooper, tracy morgan and amy schumer just a few of the people to make the list, and i sat down with barbara for a sneak peek.

>> i think this -- you know, you always say this is the best list but this is a very good list because it has some drama. it has mr. trump and bernie sanders and then bradley cooper. >> you like bradley cooper. >> i love bradley cooper. he is a very nice man. i'm being quoted as saying that he's very screwable. i have to be careful. >> you're going to make me blush, barbara. >> i think that's a clean word. am i okay with that? it's because when he was starting out, his agent said that he -- he didn't say screwable. he said something else which i won't say. >> i think i know where you're going. something very revealing that bradley cooper told you, so let's take a look at that. >> interesting. yeah, i didn't know this about him. >> in your late 20s, you stopped drinking. >> stopped drinking, yeah. >> that's a big change. >> it's a huge thing, yeah. >> do you drink now? >> no. >> you stopped at 30 and -- >> 29, yeah. >> 29, yeah. >> and never drank again, not even wine. >> nothing.

>> hmm. >> huh-uh. >> did it change you? >> oh, tremendously. >> very difficult? >> no, beautiful. unbelievable. >> better. >> oh, are you kidding? i would never be sitting here with you, no way, no chance. >> we can see why you like him and his mother lives with him. >> his mother -- he was very close to his father, he wears -- who died. he wears his father's wedding ring. and he lives with his mother. >> also, a kind soul, you can see, and someone who's really had a lot of challenges, physical and emotional given the accident, tracy morgan. >> yeah, he's done very few interviews, and he's now okay. he's married. he has a child. you can see the scars from this terrible accident he had where he was not supposed to live, and he's not only living, he's thriving. >> and another comedian you spoke with, amy schumer. >> yeah. she's so hot this year.

i mean, she really is. she's funny and smart and has not had the easiest life at all. >> we actually have a sneak peek of your discussion with amy. >> oh, good, okay. >> you are a very good-looking woman. >> barbara. >> yes, i mean, i've seen you on the air. i said when you came in that you have the cutest tush. >> thank you so much. >> but you don't -- you don't like your looks. >> no, i wouldn't say that. >> well, you -- >> because i make fun of myself. >> yeah, yeah. >> i think i make fun more of how i think the world and how hollywood sees me. >> yeah. >> she really is -- >> you think everybody knows what a tush is? >> yes, i do. we all know what a tush is. >> she has a good tush. between supposedly telling bradley cooper that he was -- that he is screwable and talking about her tush, this is a very racy special. >> barbara is on fire like you've never seen her before. >> yeah. >> and we can't wait to hear who the number one pick is.

>> well, you're not going to hear now. >> okay, we'll have to wait for it. >> and you only have to wait till tonight. barbara walters presents the ten most fascinating people of 2015 airs tonight for 90 minutes starting at 9:30 eastern, 8:30 central right here on abc. let's go outside now to ginger. >> oh, thank you, amy. i am just out here with such a great crowd and they're giving me parenting advice. so we're starting there. how about we go to dove valley, colorado. look at the sweet valley, kite snowboarding in parts of colorado. they had all that fresh pow, so nice, and guess what, that cold air behind that storm is some of the coldest of the season from denver back to albuquerque. look at burbank, 37. as we take those temperatures >> good morning, i am meteorologist mike nicco with the forecast. on this thursday we are going so see increasing high clouds and warmer and sprinkles is possible

across the not bay but the light-to-moderate rain is in the forecast tomorrow and next week we will dodge drops. today, our temperatures are around 56 to 59 degrees and you can see extreme north bay they could have a few sprinkles and overnight, it will not be frosty cold with most of us in low-to-mid 40s. high seven-day forecast is the next two storms are the lowest on >> i >> i have to say, lara, my mom had one of these sweaters before, they were ironic and called ugly christmas sweaters and i love them. how bewe get some "pop." >> totally. my mom has the earrings that look like the old-school lights and still wears them like in full gusto. mom, we love you and are inspired by you. but right now it is time for "pop news" and i love this story. excited to their with you because forget netflix and chill. that's the new sharing. now it's all about netflix and snooze. the streaming service has dreamt

>> just ruined it for the rest of my family. >> i know, isn't it amazing. putting on a binge-watch, immediately i fall asleep. also in "pop news" this morning -- i'm glad we're all discussing our personal lives. if you're not sleeping well, tell your partner to move over and make room for rover. a new study shows a man's best friend or cute kitty could leave you more well rested. people who slept with their pets felt more safe, secure, consequently had a better night's sleep. it makes perfect sense. cuddling up to a cat isn't for everyone. a cat or a dog. please, cat lovers, do not write me. 20% of pet owners did complain of pets wandering, whimpering or hovering above my face with hot dog breath. but the overwhelming finding was incredibly positive giving new meaning to catnap. >> children, not the same effect, not at all. get out of my bed. >> like break dancing in your bed. and finally, rapper drake

knows when that hot line bling, that can only mean one thing. >> bring it, girl. >> it's baddie winkle on the line. take a look, this 89-year-old kentucky native whose real name is ruth van winkle renamed herself because she became an instagram sensation that started last year. her daughter, her great granddaughter posted a picture of baddie posted in her signature look that went viral. she has 1.7 million including rihanna. ultra hip "people" magazine. she talks about a major crush she has on drake. she tried to direct message him and said it was a little dirty. she also -- there's the bathing suit that she talks about her love and says she wants to be the poster child for people saying it's just a number. just love it. >> bravo. >> she looks great. >> bravo. >> we'll be right back.
