7:01 am
west. a state of emergency as temperatures reach up to 120 degrees and heat alerts from the midwest to california this morning. and good morning, america. it is another busy news morning. we have more fallout from that massacre in orlando. >> that's right. overnight, that dramatic scene on the floor of the senate. democrats going past 2:00 a.m. battling for action on gun control. in the wake of the orlando shooting. >> that was connecticut senator chris murphy and could have votes as early as today. but we begin with that deadly alligator attack at disney world. this morning, we are learning new details about the family of that 2-year-old boy right there, lane graves, and what happened in the moments leading up to the attack. abc's gio benitez is in orlando with the latest. good morning, gio. >> reporter: george, good morning to you. the family learning just over 12 hours ago that the boy's body was found intact just yards from the shore.
7:02 am
after a desperate 16-hour search by air and boat, the heartbreaking news. 2-year-old lane graves found dead. six feet under water at disney's grand floridian resort. >> our divers were able to locate the body. we used sonar equipment. >> reporter: the alligator's attack taking less than a minute as the boy played at the water's edge. it was 9:00 p.m. tuesday, lane's parents and 4-year-old sister were relaxing on the beach. lane was in ankle deep water right on the shore, when the alligator grabbed hold and dad rushing to save him but it was no use. the incredibly strong gator pulling the boy into the water. a witness says the scene which sounded like a fight unfolded in the dark. the mother frantic running back and forth across the beach. five gators captured at the lagoon wednesday. >> we're going to look at the five alligators we've taken and we're going to compare things like bite marks. there is a good chance we already have the alligator. >> reporter: the seven seas lake
7:03 am
has a no swimming sign but no sign warning about alligators. disney saying it will review the situation thoroughly. >> disney has a wildlife management system that is in place. >> reporter: the company saying they look into gator sightings and in some cases remove or even euthanize the animals. a gator did bite an 8-year-old in 1986 but there's never been a death until now. but guests have seen gators there before. >> an alligator. >> an alligator. >> reporter: this video shot just two weeks ago of a gator in that same lagoon. the family did not notify disney. this morning the president of the resort telling abc news there are no words to convey the profound sorrow we feel for the family and their unimaginable loss. we are devastated and heartbroken by this tragic accident and are doing what we can to help the family during this difficult time. on behalf of everyone at disney we offer our deepest sympathies. and the graves family -- >> they do appreciate all of the prayers that have gone forward
7:04 am
to allow those of us -- to have a proper burial. >> reporter: and bob iger spoke with the family and also said this in a statement, as a parent and a grandparent, my heart goes out to the graves family during this time of devastating loss. my thoughts and prayers are with them and i know everyone at disney joins me in offering our deepest sympathies. george. >> we do all join in on that, gio. and also, some more questions this morning. we know the beaches there are closed. what's the scope of that closure and going forward, do you expect to have more explicit warnings about alligators at the disney resorts? >> reporter: that's right. george, a big question because as we know right now there are no alligator warning signs so right now disney tell us they'll review that and look into that for the future. i can tell you all of the beaches here are still closed, george. >> okay, gio benitez, thanks very much. >> i think that warning will be heard loud and clear. so many of us have walked on that beach never thinking our children could be at risk.
7:05 am
thanks to gio for that. we turn to the other big story in orlando, the president heading there this morning as the fbi now investigates that deadly shooting. they have released this poster asking the public for information about the gunman as new terrifying video shows the moments in the nightclub in a bathroom stall. abc's linzie janis is in orlando with more. good morning, linzie. >> reporter: good morning, amy. we've heard so many horrifying stories from inside that nightclub and now for the first time one survivor sharing with us a video he took from inside the bathroom where he was hiding. >> chris, chris. >> shh. >> reporter: this morning, new video from inside the orlando nightclub massacre. >> so i ended up in the bathroom. the shooter just started saying everyone come out, everybody is going to die. >> reporter: instead, miguel says he and dozens of others hid
7:06 am
in the stalls huddling together for four hours. the footage obtained by abc station wplg shows them passing around a cup of water and trying to keep the wounded alive. >> chris, chris. >> reporter: also this morning, for the first time the voice of the killer. >> good morning. do you have a badge? >> reporter: a disgruntled omar mateen seen in this documentary called "the big fix," working as a security guard at the site of the 2010 bp oil spill. >> no one gives a [ bleep ] -- no one gives a [ bleep ] -- everybody is just out to get paid. >> it's all about the money, right? >> all about the money. >> reporter: years later his behavior would cost him his job at a florida courthouse. >> there was a comment made about his allegiance to the ft. hood shooter and those comments brought immediate alarm to my staff and their supervisors at the courthouse. >> reporter: the incident triggering one of two fbi investigations.
7:07 am
both concluding he was not a threat. and just last year a local police academy rejected mateen's application. inside mateen admits he was dismissed from another job at the florida department of corrections, that he had used steroids and had a criminal record that was sealed or expunged. authorities say mateen filed a complaint claiming he was turned away because he was a muslim. and right now the fbi is aggressively investigating mateen's wife noor salman who lived here with him. they are looking into her life with as much scrutiny as her husband's. amy. >> all right, linzie, thank you for that. and we are learning new details about a missed warning sign. a gun shop owner reported him to the authorities weeks before the attack. abc's chief investigative correspondent brian ross is here and, brian, we always hear the phrase if you see something, say something. a lot of people said something. >> that seems to be the case.
7:08 am
the owner of the gun shop in jensen beach, florida, has told abc news that mateen tried to buy body armor and bulk ammunition from his store but he turned him down because he seemed suspicious. the owner says he then notified authorities about his suspicions of mateen. that was almost three weeks before the shooting, amy. no immediate comment so far from the fbi or local authorities. >> certainly we expect to hear one soon. in the meantime, there are reports of new isis threats against tourists in europe as well as gay nightclubs everywhere. >> that's right, authorities in europe are sorting through reports that new teams of isis fighters have been dispatched from syria to europe. this comes at a time of high anxiety because of the ongoing soccer championships being played out in france so far, though, the only problem some raucous, violent fans. >> all right, and it's summer travel season. people have a lot of plans. >> there is a travel warning out for u.s. tourists going to europe. >> thank you. we'll get into the political impact of this right now. overnight, senate democrats took over the senate floor to force
7:09 am
action on gun legislation. and donald trump says he's going to meet with the nra to discuss ways to deny guns to people on the terror watch list. jon karl has all the latest. jon, after that talk-a-thon we could see new votes on gun legislation as early as today. >> reporter: absolutely, george. quite a movement in the senate and it was one year ago today that donald trump officially announced he was running for president and while he is in the midst of a bitter battle with hillary clinton over how to respond to the orlando massacre, there is now one issue where they appear to be at least in agreement. overnight, democrats spoke for nearly 15 hours on the senate floor hoping to shame republicans into having a vote on new gun control legislation. >> having come through the experience of newtown, i've had enough. it's been four years and nothing has been done. >> reporter: meanwhile, hillary clinton continues to hammer donald trump over his response to the orlando massacre.
7:10 am
>> so not one of donald trump's reckless ideas would have saved a single life in orlando. >> reporter: but now there may be one idea that two bitter rivals actually agree on. trump proclaimed in a tweet, i will be meeting with the nra who has endorsed me, about not allowing people on the terrorist watch list or the no-fly list to buy guns. that's a position clinton has long supported. >> if the fbi is watching you for suspected terrorist links, you should not be able to buy a gun with no questions asked. >> reporter: democrats have proposed the so-called no-fly, no buy bill arguing if you are on the terror watch list, which includes the tsa no-fly list, you shouldn't be able to buy a gun. >> i want to meet with the nra. we'll be discussing it. a number of people have brought this to my attention and i understand why we should be discussing it. >> reporter: but the nra along with most republicans has opposed banning gun sales to
7:11 am
those on watch lists saying law-abiding americans are often included and should not lose their right to purchase firearms. the nra has responded to trump's request for a meeting saying, quote, we are happy to meet with donald trump. the nra's position on this issue has not changed. instead of an outright ban, george, they support a republican measure that would require a delay for anyone on a watch list so they could first be checked out before buying a gun. >> could see a vote on that as well today. let's talk to bill o'reilly, anchor of "the o'reilly factor" on fox news. thanks for coming in. a lot of movement right now on guns. do you think something will happen? >> yeah, i think congress has to debate which kind of weaponry is available to the public and which isn't very specifically and that's a worthy debate and should do it. beyond that, i hate to see this war on terror politicized because that's what's going on. >> that's exactly what's happening and one of the things we're seeing is donald trump seeming to try to urge the nra to do something on this terror watch list. do you think they're going to
7:12 am
move? >> well, look, i mean they have to have a specific law that if you're under suspicion you can't buy a gun but you can't just do that now. there has to be a law because the guy, mateen, he was clean. he didn't have any arrest record so you can't deny him the right that florida gives its citizens to do whatever they want to do. but, if you pass a new law that says if you're on a federal watch list, then you're denied this, this, this and this, it can happen. >> that's right, and we'll see what happens today. you talked about the politicizing of the gun debate. you've seen president obama come out and hillary clinton come out. you've seen donald trump come out and the initial days, it seems like donald trump is kind of doubling down on the same strategy he had during the primaries. >> of course. >> will that work in the general election? >> who knows. he's got two issues, he has two issues only. the economy and terrorism. that's it. social issues don't matter this year and he's not strong on them anyway so he'll hammer those two issues every time he's in the public forum. >> but one of the things you see happening with that, it's causing a fair amount of discomfort in the top ranks of
7:13 am
the republican leadership and donald trump seemed to get fed up with that last night. >> style over substance. >> let's take a look. >> the republicans honestly folk, our leaders have to get tougher. this is too tough to do it alone but you know what, i think i'm going to be forced to. i think i'm going to be forced to. our leaders have to get a lot tougher and be quiet. just please be quiet. don't talk. please be quiet. >> sounds like he's almost suing for divorce right there. >> he's right. the republican party, the reason that he's even sitting there is because the republican leadership is weak. come on, let's face it. americans look to the gop, the grand old party, to protect them and look for very, very strong national stands. you're not getting them. i mean, kate's law, which i have wanted to advance was basically scuttled by the republican leadership that would protect americans from violent aggravated foreign felons who defied deportation and people know that.
7:14 am
that's why trump is even here. >> see, that's part of the dilemma he's facing or one of the reasons he got the nomination. you're right, he took on the republican leaders. he was an outsider. >> they're wimps. >> does the party need to be united? >> he is going for the populist vote and not running as a republican but as a populist and he is going to try to get as many people who are angry and disassociated with the government to vote for him as possible. it could work. that's his only shot because the democrat coalition is organized and most of those folks are either going to stay home or vote for hillary. i think there will be a low voter turnout. i think most people will stay home. >> one thing we saw was high voter turnout in the republican primaries. trump as he said won more votes than anyone else in history. in the republican primaries. >> 6% of the population voted for him. that's all. i mean, the primaries are the primaries but they're a narrow sliver of the general populous. >> where does he find those votes in the general election? one thing we've seen since he
7:15 am
secured the nomination it appears hillary clinton opened up a little more of a lead. >> oh, but that's -- those poll, they go week by week. next week trump is going to be back because of the terrorism and this week, hillary -- >> you think this is working for him right now. >> the terrorism issue, oh, are you kidding me? people are furious. they're furious. they don't want to hear about gun control. they want to get isis savages confronted. that's what everybody is talking about outside of new york and georgetown. people are fed up with president obama not saying who the enemy is and dancing around and outsourcing the fight to the kurds. come on. these are savages, they're killing americans. go get them. >> that's going to be the debate. i was struck by a cbs poll showed more than half of country disapproves of the way trump responded on this. >> because i just said the words, it's style over substance. don't like his style. okay, so trump's style is what
7:16 am
holds him back. and i've told trump that. i've known him for 30 years. i said, hey, look, some of your ideas are good but if you say that's mexican is bad nobody will listen to anything else. all right, so, knock off the personal politics and get into the issues on how you're going to beat these people. >> we will be watching. we'll watch your series "legends and lies." >> this sunday night on fox news challenge. channel. 8:00. you want gun control? this is why we have guns. "legends and lives of patriots." we beat the british because everyone was armed and that has made our difficulty of regulating guns that much harder. >> get the history lesson from bill o'reilly on sunday night. let's head to ginger with that deadly heat warning. millions from the midwest to california, now facing alerts as a wildfire blasts through the west and a state of emergency declared in new mexico. ginger, a lot to get to. >> amy, the heat has turned deadly in arizona and it's only going to keep climbing as we go through the weekend of the wildfires are burning. look at this video from just
7:17 am
north of santa barbara, california, more than a thousand acres. camp sites have been evacuated. homes at the threat of being evacuated. the heat advisories are immediate for the center of the nation. this is what you have to worry about today. houston, dallas, st. louis, omaha, certainly kansas city to oklahoma city. because the numbers are going to rise above 100. it'll feel like 110 in kansas city, st. louis, 105. 9. 97 for nashville this afternoon. by this weekend phoenix could get to 120, one of their hottest temperatures ever on record. amy. >> wow, ginger, thank you so much. we turn now to the latest on the zika virus and a new study out now from the cdc, it's a big headline this morning about the risk for babies whose mothers contract the disease in their third trimester. abc's dr. richard besser is here with the latest on that and, rich, tell us what this study found. >> yeah, so very important study out of columbia by cdc and the colombian ministry of health and they're following tens of thousands of people affected by zika. it's their first report. almost 600 women infected with
7:18 am
zika during their third trimester none had a baby born with microcephaly. the very severe form of brain damage. about a year before their subtle findings of any problems with vision. this is very encouraging. >> good news there but does it change what pregnant women should do. >> it doesn't. if you're pregnant, you shouldn't go to a place where zika is transmitting. if you have to go or you're living in one of those place, do what you can to prevent mosquito bites and sexual transmission because we just don't know about risk earlier in pregnancy. >> i was just going to ask you about that. third trimester infections. do we know about women who contract it earlier? >> in the same study they're following over a thousand women who fall into those groups. by the end of the year we'll have the answer to that question. >> we know you'll be on top of it. back to ginger, we have rain here in times square and more storms moving east. >> several spots had severe storms including hamilton, ohio, you can see the video of the damage and that threat moves east today into parts of west virginia, virginia just west of washington, d.c., could see
7:19 am

7:30 am
welcome back to "gma." you are looking at the lake outside disney a grand floridian resort where authorities are searching for the alligator responsible for that deadly attack of a 2-year-old boy. we'll have much more on that investigation coming up in just a bit. that is coming up. also right now senate democrats pushing for changes on gun control after nearly 15-hour effort overnight they are now set to vote on it as early as this morning as president obama meets with the victims of that terror attack. millions in the midwest to california. facing heat alerts. warnings temperatures could top 120 degrees as a wildfire tears through the west and a state of emergency declared in new mexico. and then also this morning new details from that explosive o.j. simpson documentary. what we're learning about abuse allegations from his ex-wife nicole and the most important
7:31 am
piece of evidence that bloody glove coming up on our big board. we begin with the alligator attack in florida and questions this morning about just how common they are and what you should do if you encounter a gator. abc's lauren lyster went out with one of the trappers who helped search for that 2-year-old boy and joins us from orlando. good morning, lauren. >> reporter: good morning, amy. you know, here in florida they are everywhere. an estimated 1.3 million gators lurking in the lake, rivers and canals across the state. here at gatorland they're in captivity. this is a theme park. this is fencing to use livestock in and works with alligators but you need an eight-foot tall fence to keep them away. this morning a nebraska family is reeling after a deadly alligator attack which claimed the life of their son. while alligator attacks are rare, alligator appearances aren't. residents here in florida dealing with alligators turning up anywhere from their front
7:32 am
stoop to the swimming pool, even the golf course. >> we have a lake behind our home and we see alligators all the time. >> reporter: but what about these prehistoric predators is so dangerous? >> he's going to come out of the water at speeds upwards of 20 to 30 miles an hour. >> reporter: at jungle adventures ryan showed me how their speed and weight can overwhelm their prey. >> 1600 pounds of total pressure together. >> reporter: why do they attack? >> sometimes mistaken identity. twilight and dusk is when they hunt. if something is splashing that says wounded animal to them. easy prey. >> reporter: out with alligator trappers including one who helped in the search for the missing boy at disney world gators are expected and easy to spot. how do they end up in a backyard swimming pool? >> with that the gators are
7:33 am
coming through pipes and local canals. >> reporter: trappers are called when the animals show up when they shouldn't be. the strange guest place -- >> caught in a barstool in somebody's backyard. >> reporter: what do you think people who live in florida that know about alligators that tourists don't. >> you need to respect the gator. all you need is one. that's got an aggressive personality. go down on the water then you pay for it. >> now, the likelihood of being seriously injured by a gator is 1 in 2.4 million. the most dangerous time of year is now. summer month, breeding and nesting seasons are in play. the time of year when gators are particularly aggressive. amy. >> all right, lauren, thank you for that. as we turn to jack hanna of the columbus zoo in ohio, disney is the parent company of abc, we should note. we heard that report from lauren. but with more than 1 million alligators in that state of florida, can you tell us a little about their behavior? >> well, this time of year is breeding season.
7:34 am
the gator can move a great distance walking down roads, through pipes, through channels, i know they do a great deal of work controlling them but only can do what they can do. disney is the safest place in the world. i have no stock in disney. i'm just saying having been there it's possible that the size of a county and control all these gators which are there is very, very difficult. and what's happening here is as far as the family is very bad. >> it's awful, jack. and we talk -- we've been talking about how common alligators are in that area and yet attacks like this are extremely rare. what made this situation different? >> right. well, you got to remember something, the gator has been around for tens of -- how many millions of years we don't know. again, when a gator comes out of the water it's like a bullet and they can outrun any human being on earth in the first 20, 30 feet like a bullet going off. the child's vibrations could be
7:35 am
heard or felt by the gator up to one mile away underwater, this he say, so that said this is just a splashing going on. this gator comes up there like a bullet and the father, god bless his soul, had no chance. once he clamps down it's the most powerful of any animal in the world. it's one of these things that happen that is just a terrible, terrible accident. >> i know now anyone who's visiting the florida area or alligator country in general is going to be concerned and one of the biggest pieces of advice you have, not to feed them. it sounds obvious but a lot of people do, correct? >> yeah, people -- it's amazing people -- you can't get within 50, 60 feet away if you want to take a picture. if they're on the road just don't move them. sometimes on the road because the asphalt is hot and laying there. not dead or been hit by a car. some might go up there and most will run from people. when i film them, 90% of the
7:36 am
time they'll run away quickly. however, if they're around a nest, for example, nesting season, some people don't know that. the gator will go through a brick wall to get you if they're around their nest, trying to go there. if you know there's gators and you're swimming just stay away from the area. that's all. there's certain things you can do to avoid it. neighborhoods as you said built with beautiful lakes around them and houses are there and gators are up on the banks and people know that and the dogs and they go get a drink of water and they have to keep that dog an a leash but that does happen. >> a lot of people are now looking to see what could have been done, what should have been done. were those no swimming signs posted along that lagoon enough to prevent an attack like this? >> well, here's the thing, i'm right now in montana. right near glacier park. when you enter it says beware of the bears. just last week we had a bear in our backyard come right down the beach there which hasn't happened in 21 years over here where i am at the farm we had a bear living here, oh, about five weeks, we didn't get near the
7:37 am
bear but the one over here, the point i'm getting at, yes, there are signs at glacier park, are there signs around outside the park. that's the analogy i'm saying. they did have a no swimming sign. okay, there were gators there but not have been gators there for years so i can't blame it myself on disney. obviously the poor parents didn't know the gators were there and so how do you say just like i said there's signs about grizzlies but right now they're walking around out here as well and there are no signs here. >> it's an unfortunate and tragic wake-up call to a lot of people about the access gators have and just the interaction that happens in a state like that. all over the country with animals we're living in their home so an important note. jack, we appreciate your time this morning. >> thank you. >> all right, let's head now over to lara. >> thank you. coming up on our big board why the judge in the stanford sexual assault case is being pulled from an upcoming trial.

7:40 am
time for the big board. team of insiders ready to weigh in on today's story. t.j. right here and we'll talk to him in a minute about the cavs and warriors but first up judge aaron persky. you know his name. that controversial judge who presided over the stanford sexual assault trial and another coming up facing backlash as well. let's talk to sunny hostin, our legal analyst. sunny, you have the d.a. in another case trying to get him removed from the case. they succeeded and said we lacked confidence he can fairly participate in this upcoming hearing in which a male nurse sexually assaulted a female patient who was anest te sized.
7:41 am
>> when i was a prosecutor i never asked for another judge. i never advised anyone to ask for another judge. it just doesn't happen. the reason it doesn't is because prosecutors are repeat customers of these judges. you're in front of them day in and day out so the message from this d.a. is very clear. he wants this judge off the bench. he wants to be done with this judge and this judge now is in a lot of trouble. his position is just really compromised. >> sunny, i want to ask several potential jurors have refused to work with this judge. they were dismissed before he was pulled by the d.a. how effective do you think he can be moving forward. >> the bottom line is the judge is the captain of the ship, right? the judge is the leader in the courtroom. when the judge loses the confidence of his team, it is game over. it happened in the o.j. case. i know that my good friend jeffrey toobin is up at bat next. judge ito lost control of the courtroom. guess what, game over. t.j. holmes is up next talking about the cavs, talking about golden state. imagine if steph curry doesn't

listen anymore to steve kerr, game over. this judge has got to get off the bench, game over. >> wow. >> good analogies. sunny, we thank you. teeing us up for our next two topics we'll talk to jeffrey. the compelling abc, espn documentary, "o.j.: made in america" on his double murder trial author of "the run of his life: the people v. o.j. simpson" jeffrey toobin featured prominently in the documentary. jeffrey, you literally wrote the book on o.j. but say there are things in the documentary that surprised even you. >> absolutely. and let me give you a real important example. the length and intensity of o.j.'s abuse of nicole. there's an interview in this documentary with o.j.'s -- with nicole's roommate when she went on her first date and she came home with all her clothes torn. all of us knew, of course, that o.j. had been convicted of
7:43 am
domestic abuse once. but it was so much more than that one incident and that is something that is a very chilling, chilling fact that comes out of this documentary. >> that is chilling. you know, last week i was talking to gil garcetti and he said he learned that o.j. deliberately didn't take his medication for arthritis so his hands would swell and he wouldn't fit into the glove. it's a real focus of the documentary and the defense implicated mark furman planted it. he is a big part as well. what is your impression? >> mark is not an appealing character at all. my original story in "the new yorker" talked about his history of racial abuse of african-americans and he is not a sympathetic -- he doesn't really give any apologies in the -- in long interview that he gives in the documentary. however, what he does is he shows that the defense theory that he planted the glove and framed o.j. simpson is simply absurd.
7:44 am
that it is not technically possible that he could have done it and that, again, is another piece of evidence that at least in my view points to o.j. simpson's guilt in all this. >> i want to talk about the bronco chase. everybody remembers where they were. do you remember where you were? >> i was at my girlfriend's house in high school. >> you were? >> yes. i was a little just out of college working at news 12 and ironically at a bar so i remember watching it on tv. do you remember where you were? >> i was speaking at northwestern that night and i was with a buddy after it watching it on tv. >> yours is much more honorable than mine. we all remember it and we're getting a new perspective. we're hearing al cowlings' 911 call. anything new for you here? >> you know, the cowlings call explains in part why the prosecution did not introduce that evidence at the trial because he talks about how o.j. is so distraught, that o.j. wants to kill himself because
7:45 am
people think he did something wrong. and the prosecution made a lot of mistakes in this trial but i actually think they were right not to introduce it and this jury wasn't going to convict anyway. >> thanks very much. t.j. sitting right here. i guess you're on your way to cleveland for game six of the nba finals tonight. >> yes. >> cleveland versus golden state and it'll be such an exciting game. heartwarming spot, craig sager, giving him a chance to call it. >> you don't see this kind of collaboration where talent is loaned to another network but craig, you see him, beloved member of the nba family known for crazy jackets and just an icon really but never gotten a chance to call an nba finals game because he works for tnt. tnt doesn't have the right to the finals. he was diagnosed with leukemia in 2014. out for about a year. it was in remission. now it's come back so espn reached out and invited him to do this and it's just a great
7:46 am
collaboration. he's going to get to call his first finals game. guy, if it hadn't gone to game six he wouldn't be able to do it because he's going through chemotherapy. thfls his only opportunity. if it would have ended in five he wouldn't have been able to do it. >> meant to be. >> yes. >> as for the game the cavs took game five and golden state, warriors all star draymond green is back. another key player out. >> andrew bogut. yes. >> what does it mean? >> sunny, do you want to take this? >> seems like you wanted to do the reporting on the game. >> you know i like basketball, t.j. >> yes. >> but, no, draymond green, all eyes on him. he was suspend for a dust-up with lebron james and took a swipe at his man region, if you will. he was out last game. lebron had a great five game. went off. draymond is back for this game and we shall see but they can get it to seven games and being going back to oakland possibly for the two best words in sports, game seven. >> game is tonight.

8:18 am
home. >> or feeling shy about it. it's natural and doctors say it's good for your baby. what do you do if you are a mom out there and this happens to you? you're trying to feed your child. >> i know, well, it's really important to remember that there are no u.s. laws prohibiting breast-feeding. it is your right and you shouldn't be treated like a criminal if you decide to breast-feed in public. number two, it may make people uncomfortable. and they have a right to feel uncomfortable but they don't have a right to stop you from doing it. you don't have to engage with them. you can tell a store manager or just ignore them. >> would you say to the mom just, you know, use a blanket or what is your advice to the mom who needs to do it? >> a lot of moms choose to blankets to cover up, two scarfs but a lot don't want to cover their baby's faces and don't have to. the bottom line is women can breast-feed in public and the world just has to get used to that. >> bottom line. >> bottom line. >> ericka souter, we thank you. it feels like this is a topic that comes up quite a bit. >> and it will keep coming. >> i feel like we'll be talking about it again soon. really good "deals & steals"
