so like, 50 calories. you think a cucumber has 50 calories? that seems to maybe real. and an avocado has 25 calories, which seems too low. artichokes are pretty caloric-rich. >> yeah. true. >> if i were gonna guess one of those, and this would be a guess, it would be a, ten artichokes. >> ah! this is so difficult. >> i feel like-- well, let's just think about it. if we don't know very well, we could ask--john might know this. to leave this place with a lifeline on the table is-- >> i know. i can't do that. okay. >> we'd like to ask john. >> we would like to ask john. >> okay, john, come down here and join us.

i've been working on it. but no, it's a good-- good question, and i sort of-- i was analyzing it the exact same way you were, which is, you know, breaking it up into how many calories per artichoke. would i feel full at the end of the day if i ate an artichoke every hour? you know? and my knee-jerk went to d, but then when i did the math, i didn't like it. so it's a tough one. i'm not sure i add much value, you know, unfortunately, on this one. >> okay. >> we didn't come here to-- to not take chances. >> oh, we didn't? well, you know, do you remember his--his toast to me on vail mountain-- on the top of vail mountain was to living life and taking chances. >> before my first kiss, and that worked out just fine. >> yeah. >> what could possibly go wrong? >> here's to living life and taking chances. we'll take a. >> okay. >> what do you think? >> i think we'll-- >> yeah, i can support a.

a search for a family who vanished in the gu a search for a family who vanished while snorkeling in the gulf of mexico is now over. >> thanks to the work of the u.s. coast guard, that family has been found safe and sound. adrienne bankert joins us with the story. what a horrifying concept and thought. >> many sighs of relief this morning. >> for sure. we love stories with a happy ending. right? the coast guard told us the family is in good spirits after a night spent on the open water northwest of florida. we have video capturing the youngest of those lost at sea seen running into the arms of family members, look at this, just upon reaching dry land.

they were out there for about a day. the coast guard making contact around 5:00 p.m. on wednesday. searching nearly 4,000 square miles. finally locating the 25-foot boat about 40 miles off key west. there was initially trouble contacting them by radio. 48-year-old david thompson, 28-year-old adam kelly, 15-year-old joshua thompson and 11-year-old evan thompson were out for a day of snorkeling, but when they began experiencing mechanical issues, their boat began to drift. >> we lost power to the boat and began to drift. some time around 8:00, 8:30 last night. it was sheer relief watching the 11 and 15-year-old boys come off and hug their moms. that was pretty cool. >> the chief coast guard commander says the most important take away in this was these guys had a plan. they told their family members where they were going and what time they would be back. so when they didn't arrive as scheduled, people started to get concerned.

it's been said there are things you can do to prepare for this. certainly, this was textbook success in terms of rescues. >> that's one of the keys. i've covered stories when people drifted and they did not stay with the boat. that's one of the things the coast guard says to do, stay with your vessel. what are some of the other things you're supposed to do? >> there's an epirb. the electronic position indicating radio beacon. i don't know why everybody doesn't get one for their boat, but when activated the device will immediately send out a distress signal and provide an exact location for search and rescue teams. they say it takes the search out of search and rescue. they know where you are. >> very important, and to let people know where you're going. when a family is gone, sometimes no one else knows. >> correct. i'm smiling throughout the whole story because i'm glad they were safe. i can't imagine what i would do stuck out at sea, especially since i don't know how to swim. >> good to know. adrienne, thank you so much. when we come back, the hollywood a-listers protesting at the democratic national convention. and what a $19,000 a night

this morning another prominent figure from inside fox news is stirring up fresh controversy. >> bill o'reilly is facing

social media backlash for saying the slaves who helped build the white house were well fed. here's abc's byron pitts. >> my daughters and all our sons and daughters now take for granted that a woman can be president of the united states. >> reporter: first lady michelle obama delivered a universally applauded speech on the first night of the democratic national convention. even including one of the darkest chapters in american history. >> i wake up every morning in a house that was built by slaves. >> reporter: everyone was impressed with the first lady, even donald trump telling the reporter she did a good job. i liked her speech. bill o'reilly agreed on the facts, but then went further. >> slaves that worked there were well fed and had accident lodgings provided by the government. >> reporter: the comments sparking major backlash for making light of the treatment of slaves. >> i find it offensive when anyone tries to justify any part of slavery.

>> reporter: shonda rhimes tweeting try slavery, bill. let us know how good the food is while you wear chains. audra mcdonald sharing a picture of shackles with a caption, dear bill to riley wear these. >> reporter: o'reilly in full damage control. >> keep them strong, the washington administration provided meat, bread and other staples and decent lodgings of the new presidential building. that is a fact, not a justification. not a defense of slavery. just a fact. anyone who implies a soft unslavery message is beneath contempt. >> reporter: byron pitts, abc news, new york. well, coming up we have more news. don't miss our updates on facebook or twitter at abcwnn.

good morning. i'm kendis gibson. >> i'm diane macedo. here are some of the top stories we're following for you this morning on "world news now." the democrats took aim at donald trump last night with some of the sharpest attacks coming from president obama. clinton popped in to embrace the president who made it clear that he is ready to pass the baton. we have full coverage coming up. some bernie sanders supporters still are not happy. seven people were arrested last night. anti-war and anti-government protesters were also out in force. a terror attack on a church in france. you can see police moving in. the attackers killed a priest. the pope is calling it a murder and an act of war. a new study commissioned by the insurance industry finds that traffic deaths from running red lights go up about 30% after

cities turn off the cameras at those stoplights. those are some of our top stories on this thursday, july 28. from abc news, this is "world news now." we begin this half hour with what can only be called an assault on donald trump last night by president obama and other democrats taking the podium. >> there were others and independents. michael bloomberg had an assault. but the president ripped into trump for promoting fear, and he warned the billionaire won't be a champion of the working class. he defended his own legacy and applauded hillary clinton for her toughness and tenacity. abc's karen travers has much more from the convention floor in philadelphia. karen, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, kendis. good morning, diane. last night was all about the contrast that democrats want to make with republicans. things are better than they were eight years and hillary clinton will build on that. president obama having some

tough words for donald trump saying the republican is selling america short and only offering fear. the democratic handover is official. a huge hug between president obama and hillary clinton. president obama making a forceful case against donald trump saying americans deserve better. >> america is already great. america is already strong. and i promise you our strength, our greatness, does not depend on donald trump. >> reporter: and making his case for hillary clinton. >> there has never been a man or a woman, not me, not bill, nobody more qualified than hillary clinton to serve as president of the united states of america. >> reporter: it was an all star night for democrats. vice president joe biden kicking

things off. got in some sharp jabs against donald trump. >> he's trying to tell us he cares about the middle class. give me a break. that's a bunch of malarkey. >> reporter: and tim kaine in the biggest speech of his career. >> our nation, it is just too great to put it in the hands of a slick talking, empty promising, self-promoting one-man wrecking crew. >> reporter: an opportunity for democrats to take back the spotlight from donald trump after his stunning comments encouraging russia to hack hillary clinton's e-mail. >> russia, if you're listening, i hope you're able to find the 30,000 e-mails that are missing. >> reporter: and this convention will wrap up tonight with hillary clinton making history. accepting the democratic nomination. kendis, diane. >> our thanks to karen at the arena in philadelphia. virginia senator tim kaine

formally accepted the nomination for vice president, and as you saw he wasted no time taking aim at trump. >> that's right. kaine used his first major speech on the national stage to go after donald trump, not mincing any words. he also defended hillary clinton. we take a look at why kaine was picked for the ticket. >> reporter: good morning, kendis and diane. last night we saw hillary clinton's newly minted running mate, tim kaine mocking donald trump and depending clinton as trustworthy and consistent. his speech was an introduction of sorts. we know he's not the most well known senator, but that's what clinton likes about him. she said behind the wave he has a spine of steel. clinton didn't come to make the decision about kaine overnight. we are told she looked at 23 other contenders for the spot including elizabeth warren and

cory booker. ultimately aides say she decided she wanted somebody with national security experience, somebody she thought could do the job on day one, and she believes that is tim kaine. you can't deny he has other attributes that are attractive to the clinton campaign. he speaks spanish. that was on full display last night. his son is a marine. he's from virginia, a critical swing state in this election, and he's also a moderate democrat. some on the left of this party are upset about that. they were out here protesting him. the clinton camp sees it as an opportunity to, perhaps, attract independent voters, moderate republicans, white male voters. voting blocs they believe could really swing this election. all right. thank you. joe biden also took several jabs at donald trump saying no major party nominee has been less prepared to deal with national security. >> biden had glowing praise for hillary clinton, his one-time political rival. adrienne bankert joining us more with what's next for joe from delaware and pennsylvania. good morning.

good morning. middle class joe as he's affectionately called. the vice president spoke of his family background giving a respectful shout out to the president and first lady and harshly criticizing donald trump. but he focused on painting a personal and impassioned portrait of the democratic nominee. >> everybody knows she's tough. but i know what she's passionate about. i know hillary. >> reporter: in an appeal to undecided voters and fellow democrats, vice president joe biden shared he's known hillary clinton for over 30 years saying she can relate to students burden with debt and families overwhelmed with the cost of health care. after the speech he told our philadelphia station what clinton needs to do tonight is add a more personal touch. >> i hope they get a glimpse of her heart. she really cares about people. it's not like i want to be president and so i'll do anything to be president. i mean, she cares.

i mean, this is stuff she cares about. >> reporter: biden was asked by our colleague about trump's asking russia to find clinton's deleted e-mails. >> i don't think he knows what he's doing. i'm serious. i don't think he consciously knows how much he is -- look, i can't figure. >> reporter: as for biden's future, the vice president says he's not going anywhere with plans of being deeply involved in helping the next administration. >> what kind of help? >> you know he's not going to just sit back and watch. >> any rumors out there? any leads out there? >> obviously, he still has it. some reaction in the meantime to joe biden's speech. ashley judd saying your courage and words inspirational. shonda rhimes, basically the creator of thursday night programs here on abc, said i love joe biden and all he's done. >> did you see ashley judd's

face during the speech? about seven minutes in she's bawling. she wasn't only moved. she was emotional. >> and there were calls for a while for him to run for this. >> firmly vested in the democratic party. we'll see what's next. >> a lot of people last night were saying that after hearing his fiery speech. still got it. all right, adrienne. thank you. >> no problem. we'll move on, or still talk about the vice president and the president. the president just arrived back in washington d.c. and both of them, the v.p. and the president are set to campaign for hillary clinton this fall. >> last night we got a hint of the attacks they can level as they pass the baton, so to speak. abc's political director rick klein gives us his take on the night. good morning, rick. >> reporter: good morning. hope was handed off. barack obama saying he's ready to hand the baton to what he calls the woman in the arena. hillary clinton, a soaring night for democrats. featuring an all star cast. the sitting president and vice president and the new vice presidential nominee capped off with a joint appearance by president obama as well as hillary clinton. a big night for democrats to

show the muscle they have and show how they're going to take the fight to donald trump, a united party at last, seeking to tap into some of the inspiration of the last two democratic presidents, clinton and obama. both have reaction but both are feeling confident. >> all right. we have one more night to go. be sure to tune in at 10:00 p.m. for full coverage of hillary clinton's speech. complete coverage on abc digital throughout the day. other news. a kentucky man is facing as much as 20 years in prison if he's convicted on charges of assaulting a flight attendant. another passenger captured these images of that man refusing to take his seat before the flight took off. he walked to the front of plane where he kicked a flight attendant and knocked her to the ground and called her the n word. they say it took two pilots to restrain him as others wrapped a seat belt around his ankles. take a look at this.

or rather his worth was vaulted that much after the release of facebook's impressive new earnings report. one estimate says zuckerberg is worth $56.7 billion. which would make him the world's fifth richest person. at 32, he's the youngest of the world's ten wealthiest people. >> very nice. good to be mark zuckerberg. >> his wife as well. all the wife coming into the household. they're celebrating a newborn in cincinnati. a baby weighs 100 pounds and is 6 feet tall. the giraffe was born yesterday at the cincinnati zoo. >> we know it's adorable. keepers say the birth was remarkably smooth for a first time mom. the whole thing took about 30 minutes. the newborn is already standing and walking around. >> i wonder if it was a natural birth or a c-section. >> she definitely got the drugs. >> you think? give me some more drugs. that labor must have been -- >> i think we should move on.

he had a couple of cases he wanted to present. he argued for hillary clinton and took some parting shots at her republican rival. >> while this nation has been tested by war and it's been tested by recession and all manner of challenges, i stand before you again tonight after almost two terms as your president to tell you i am more optimistic about the future of america than ever before. and then there's donald trump. don't boo. vote. the donald is not really a plans guy. he's just offering slogans.

and he's offering fear. he is betting that if he scares enough people he might score just enough votes to win this election. that's another debt that donald trump will lose. and the reason he'll lose it is because he's selling the american people short. america is already great. america is already strong. and i promise you our strength, our greatness does not depend on donald trump. so this year in this election, i'm asking you to join me to reject cynicism and reject fear, and to summon what is best in us to elect hillary clinton as the next president of the united states. >> and shortly after he left the stage, michelle obama tweeted

wonderful people living in poverty, violence and despair. >> so gabby giffords was there sitting next to joe biden at one point. she said, thank you for leading the fight to make our community safer, places to live and an honor to stand with you. >> and elizabeth warren says she's still fired up. probably not hard to believe. >> and michelle, not only michelle obama, that is, the first lady, not only did she praise the speech, but she also kind of gave a shout-out to her man. she's like, that's my man. step off. >> kind of territorial. i think she meant it as a pride thing, but it sounded a little -- >> it seemed like she pulled both earrings off before she went to twitter and is like that's my man. all right. well, count on abc news to cover every moment of this final day of the dnc. we'll have a special report tonight at 10:00 p.m. eastern when hillary clinton takes the stage. >> and the democrats who addressed the convention last night were even more fired up

what gives me -- be quiet. i know you want to save her. >> reporter: the republican nominee has showered praise on the russian president. >> putin likes me. i get along well with him. i respect putin. he's a strong leader. >> reporter: but trump denies any relationship. >> i never met putin. i don't know who he is. he said one nice thing about me. he said i'm a genius. i said thank you very much and that was the end of it. >> reporter: still, trump has courted russian billionaires close to putin to invest in his projects. one of them hosted a miss universe pageant in moscow three years ago. now growing questions about whether trump has business deals in russia and whether the proof is in his tax returns to release. >> do you have any major investments in russia? >> none. >> if the answer is no, why not release your tax returns? >> it's under audit. i'll tell you right now. >> reporter: for good measure, blasting obama's frosty relations with putin. >> putin has said things over the last year that are really bad things, okay? he mentioned the n-word one time. i was shocked. you know what the n-word is,

right? he mentioned it. i was shocked. he has a total lack of respect for president obama. i think he's going to respect your president if i'm elected. and i hope he likes me. >> reporter: in the news conference that lasted almost an hour, donald trump did make two mistakes. one he called the person who tried to kill ronald reagan david hinckley, not john hinckley. and he criticized tim kaine for doing a bad job in new jersey when he meant virginia. both times reporters corrected him almost instantly. moving on, new video from tuesday's terror attack on a church in france. a priest murdered by two men who held others hostage. take a look. you can see police moving in on the church. shields up. the two attackers inside with the hostages at that time, using them to block the door. one hostage is led to safety. moments later the killers running out, shot dead by the police. isis has claimed responsibility for the attack. releasing a video allegedly showing the two men clasping

friend. if history had a scrapbook, we in the world saw the newest addition. a monumental hand off. the first black president passing the torch to what the democratic party hopes will be the first female president. >> there is only one candidate in this race who believes in that future. a leader with real plans to break down barriers and blast through glass ceilings and widen the circle of opportunity to every single american, the next president of the united states, hillary clinton. >> reporter: in what's been described as the biggest moment president obama has left in the national stage. he focussed not only on the accomplishments of his presidency, but the promises of a clinton administration. >> no matter how daubt daunting the odds, no matter how much people tried to knock her down,

she never ever quits. >> reporter: the president more popular than either of the candidates running to succeed him, wasted no time in going after clinton's opponent and its possible successor. >> does anyone really believe a guy who spent his 70 years on this earth showing no regard for working people is suddenly going to be your champion, your voice? hey, if so, you should vote for him. america is already great. america is already strong. i was filled with faith, faith in america. the generous, big-hearted, hopeful country that made my story, that made all of our stories possible. >> reporter: after his wife's successful speech on monday night, obama stayed up until

3:30 in the morning working on perfecting his own words. he didn't seem the least bit nervous. >> democracy isn't a spectator sport. america isn't about yes, he will. it's about yes, we can. >> reporter: also feeling great, officially accepting his nomination as vice president, virginia senator tim kaine took the stage with confidence. kaine has never lost an election. he is one of only 20 people to have served as a mayor, governor and senator. >> god has created in our country, a beautiful and rich tapestry, an incredible cultural diversity that succeeds when we embrace everybody in love and battle back against the forces, the dark forces of division. we're all neighbors. >> our thanks to byron pitts in philadelphia. a lot of big moments on the stage last night. >> yeah, there were. and karen travers is joining us now with more insights. karen, we saw the president's speech there, but before he hit the stage, it started with some of the -- there was a video montage of some of the darkest days in the white house with the economic crisis, sandy hook,

which he said was a tough day for him. why do they do that? >> reporter: you could hear a pin drop during the first half of that video. it was going through some of the toughest times of the obama presidency and talking about how difficult it was. obama talking about how emotional the reaction to sandy hook was. and you're thinking when are they going to get to the positive stuff, the accomplishments? but this was an attempt to show how difficult it is to sit in the oval office, how difficult it is to be the president. it's not just being presidential by giving speeches. you have to be prepared, you have to make tough decisions. clearly drawing the distinction between clinton being prepared to step in and donald trump not being ready to take over for

president obama. >> there were moments of disruption today, especially when panetta spoke. what happened there? >> reporter: there was a awakening of the left wing delegates. when panetta spoke there were chants throughout the arena, no more drones, no more wars. and diane, this was such a striking moment because the chants were drowned out by more chants of "usa! usa!" anybody that's ever covered a republican presidential campaign, i did in 2004, that was always a common thing that happened in those rallies, and tonight a former spokesman for george w. bush noting he was watching the convention and hearing democrats talk about america and america's greatness like he said republicans used to. >> and overall, what did you think was the most effective moment or speech of the night? and i find it interesting that interlocking that you're saying that they're saying the democrats are sounding like republicans now. because we heard a little bit of that at the republican convention, some messages normally reserved for the democrats. what did you think was the most effective message tonight? >> reporter: perfect example, ivanka trump, people saying that speech could have been given in

philadelphia, not cleveland. i think president obama is going to get the most attention, giving one of the most powerful speeches for hillary clinton. the farewell address for president obama, the democratic party and the nation. i think when you go back, joe biden's remarks will be the ones that really make an impact. he was speaking directly to middle class voters in a way that really only joe biden can do. that line about you're fired, not taking joy or pride in that. that is joe biden's direct hit on donald trump. if you hear him say that throughout the campaign trail, that will be one of the lines that can certainly make an impact. >> and i love that he walked out to the "rocky" theme. >> and he said they call me middle class joe, but it's not a compliment. around here it becomes one. >> and he has his pennsylvania roots. he's from delaware, coming out to the "rocky theme" and he landed some punches. >> yeah, he did. he was quite rocky.

karen travers, thank you. our political team wraps up two weeks of conventions tonight at 10:00 with the address by hillary clinton. the network plans a special live report. you can also see our live stream at abc news digital. and even before last night's convention program got underway. donald trump riled up democrats and even some republicans even more than usual. >> he kind of controlled the news cycle for a little bit. this time he didn't use twitter. he went in front of the cameras and invited russia to hack hillary clinton's e-mails from her time as secretary of state and release them publicly. >> russia, if you're listening, i hope you're able to find the 30,000 e-mails that are missing. i think you will probably be rewarded mightily by our press. >> fascinating press conference. you've got to see it.

now that trump is secured as a party's nominee, he can receive intelligence briefings. but rhode island congressman, a member of the house foreign affairs committee is asking president obama to withhold those classified materials from trump in the interest of national security. after months of deliberations, president obama and the first lady have selected a location for the presidential library in chicago. abc news learned that the library will be located in jackson park near the university of chicago. washington park is near the obama home. strong reaction now that the man who shot president reagan will be a free man. a u.s. district judge ruled that john hinckley jr. is no longer a danger to himself or others. he's seen here in a recent photo. he'll be free to live with his mother in williamsburg,

virginia. president reagan's older son said he and his oldest son forgave hinckley, but his daughter said she was sickened by the decision. take a look closely at the stairs there. that guy, he doesn't live in that chicago home. he's a robbery suspect caught on surveillance camera after breaking in. the couple who lives there was asleep on the couch during the intrusion. that led to the thief being nicknamed the creeper ghost. the same guy has also been seen on other cameras and is believed to be responsible for other burglaries. coming up, a family rescued at sea. they set off to go snorkeling off the florida keys and then vanished for 24 hours. we'll show you how far the coast guard searched for them and where they finally found them. and some hollywood a-listers are still feeling the bern. see the protests led by susan sarandon and danny glover ahead. >> first here's a look at today's forecast. >> "world news now" weather brought to you by american advisers group.

the coast guard making contact around 5:00 p.m. on wednesday. searching nearly 4,000 square miles. finally locating the 25-foot boat about 40 miles off key west. there was initially trouble contacting them by radio. 28-year-old adam kelley, 15-year-old joshua thompson and 11-year-old evan thompson were out for a day of snorkeling, but when they began experiencing mechanical issues, their boat began to drift. >> we lost power to the boat and began to drift. some time around 8:00, 8:30 last night. it was sheer relief watching the 11 and 15-year-old boys come off and hug their moms. that was pretty cool. >> the chief coast guard commander says the most important take away in this was these guys had a plan. they told their family members where they were going and what time they would be back. so when they didn't arrive as scheduled, people started to get concerned. it's been said there are things you can do to prepare for this. certainly, this was textbook success in terms of rescues.

>> that's one of the keys. i've covered stories when people drifted and they did not stay with the boat. that's one of the things the coast guard says to do, stay with your vessel. what are some of the other things you're supposed to do? >> there's an epirb. the electronic position indicating radio beacon. i don't know why everybody doesn't get one for their boat, but when activated the device will immediately send out a distress signal and provide an exact location for search and rescue teams. they say it takes the search out of search and rescue. they know where you are. >> very important, and to let people know where you're going. when a family is gone, sometimes no one else knows. >> correct. i'm smiling throughout the whole story because i'm glad they were safe. i can't imagine what i would do stuck out at sea, especially since i don't know how to swim. >> good to know. adrienne, thank you so much. when we come back, the
