overnight, chaos in northern california after the emergency spillway at the nation's tallest dam was in danger of failing. >> there's a lot that has to be done very, very quickly. >> they're evacuating oroville. >> reporter: a race against time for at least 188,000 residents forced to evacuate. stuck in bumper-to-bumper traffic in their attempts to flee. emergency crews working around the clock to prevent disaster. >> there is a plan currently in place which would hopefully plug that hole. this gas station out of supplies including gas. all we have is diesel. >> i've seen a lot but never been through anything like this. >> reporter: last week as millions of gallons of water poured from the dam each second, a huge hole was created. at least 300 feet wide. >> i am worried. i mean, this was not something anybody could have predicted or expected. you know, you call it the perfect storm. >> reporter: officials forced to use oroville's emergency spillway for the first time ever

over the weekend and by sunday, they detected another hole. quickly prompting evacuations. this morning, although officials say lake levels have fallen and water is no longer flowing over the emergency spillway, the threat still remains. >> there's still a lot of unknowns. we need to continue to lower the lake level. >> reporter: officials out here in the daylight hours assessing the damage. the national guard has been call and right next to me bulldozers filling up bags of rocks they'll try to drop into the hole using a helicopter. guys. >> all right, kayna, frightening time right now out there. >> a lot of work to do to shore that up. here in the northeast there's another major snowstorm that's dropping. a live look at boston and school is closed there this morning. the students have been out since last wednesday and let's go to rob marciano in gloucester, massachusetts. when you have a gap in your teeth it's not so easy to say that.

good morning, rob. >> good morning michael. as you mentioned the entire northeast getting pounded on. the snow blowing sideways. last night heavy, wet snow. now turned colder and feels like needles in your face at times. near blizzard conditions as this storm explodes. just off this coast. this morning, snow, ice and wind combining for a crippling storm in parts of the northeast. it is a hazardous morning commute for millions of americans. dangerous black ice sending cars sliding across major roadways. in hawthorne, new jersey, a dramatic scene. a woman rescued from her sinking car before it sinks through the ice. cars slowing to a crawl on frozen highways. trouble at the airports. 6,000 flights delayed and 1300 more canceled. at boston logan, terminal c evacuated after police say a snow melting machine may have triggered the carbon monoxide alarm.

you can see white caps on the hudson behind me. that's when you know it's bad, 36 miles per hour the gust with my hand anemometer but so many folks, even roof damage and this from washington, d.c. where roofs were blown off after 40 to 60, close to 70-mile-per-hour winds came through. those warnings stretch from georgia up through massachusetts. it not just here but 65-mile-per-hour gusts possible in bar harbor later on this afternoon. we'll show you so much more in a couple of minutes. michael, robin and george. >> that is blowing right there. we move on to the latest on president trump. his first major foreign policy challenge this weekend when north korea launched a ballistic missile test as president trump was hosting the japanese prime minister at mar-a-lago. terry moran tracking it and the timing likely not a coincidence. >> reporter: you're right. this is straight out of the north korea regime's playbook. they like to test and provoke new presidents. so far they're getting the response, an emergency meeting

at the u.n. security council this afternoon called by the u.s. and japan after that missile launch this weekend. this morning, north korea is calling its latest missile test a success after launching a medium-range ballistic missile this weekend towards the sea of japan. president trump and the first lady were dining at mar-a-lago, the president's private club in florida with japanese prime minister shinzo abe and his wife when the news broke. the japanese prime minister called the launch absolutely intolerable. president trump vowed solidarity with america's ally. >> i just want everybody to understand and fully know that the united states of america stands behind japan, its great ally 100%. thank you. >> reporter: but those words are a far cry from candidate trump on the campaign trail just eight months ago when he suggested that the u.s. promised to stand with japan in a conflict with north korea could start a world war and that japan was taking

advantage of u.s. protection. >> and they're not even paying us. how stupid are we, folks? how stupid are we? >> reporter: this latest north korean missile launch comes as president trump's national security team is in turmoil under fire from inside and outside the government. national security adviser mike flynn is facing serious questions about his contacts with russia before taking office. though he did speak with his south korean counterpart to condemn the weekend launch. democrats are demanding an investigation of flynn over those contacts with russia and one thing that's been surprising about this, president trump who is a combative personality quick to defend his white house, he's been conspicuously silent here, not publicly defending his own national security adviser so far, robin. >> people have noticed that. all right, terry. the white house also expected to make a big move on that travel ban. president trump's team looking at new options after a federal court put it on hold. abc's senior white house correspondent cecilia vega has more on all that.

good morning, cecilia. >> reporter: robin, good morning to you. the white house says it's exploring all options and a ible appeal to the supreme court challenges to lower courts even a new executive order. aides tell us everything is on the table. on air force one this weekend, the president sounding confident about what comes next. >> you also talk about -- >> the unfortunate part is it takes time but we have a lot of options including filing a brand new order. >> reporter: that new order is in the works, abc news is told and is related to terror and expected to address some of the concerns raised by the three-judge panel that last week ruled against reinstating the president's travel ban. the white house aide responsible for the policy, stephen miller, on "this week" echoing the president's tough talk. >> a district judge in seattle cannot force the president of the united states to change the laws and our constitution because of their own personal views. >> reporter: miller also echoing his boss' false claim of voter fraud. >> i can tell you this issue of

busing voters into new hampshire is widely known by anyone who worked in new hampshire politics. it's very real. >> hold on a second. you just claimed again that there was illegal voting in new hampshire, people bused in from the state of massachusetts. do you have any evidence about that? >> george, go to new hampshire. talk to anybody who has worked in politics there for a long time. everybody is aware of the problem in new hampshire. >> just for the record you have provided absolutely no evidence. the president's made a statement -- >> the white house provided enormous evidence with respect to voter fraud. >> reporter: the backlash swift. from both sides of the aisle. jeanne shaheen tweeting, stephen miller has no evidence of voter fraud and the head of the party calling it delusional. and the president had promised an executive order on voter fraud. we've been told not to expect that any time soon. now, today canada's justin trudeau will visit the white house. he has been openly critical of the president's travel ban, george, that could set the stage for pretty tense discussions here today. >> cecilia, thanks very much. let's bring in jon karl for more

on all this and start with general mike flynn right now, the national security adviser. hard to be him this morning wake up to stories in all the major papers talking about turmoil inside the national security council and "wall street journal" saying reince priebus is leading a review to see if he should stay and almost seems as if the white house is trying to send him a signal, go on your own. >> reporter: no question about it. you talk to senior officials and you ask them directly, does the president have confidence in general flynn? they can't give you an answer to that. they also can't answer the next question, will he remain as the national security adviser? remember, one of the big problems here is he misled the vice president and the vice president went out on national tv and said that he -- flynn had had no contact with the russian ambassador about those sanctions, but, george, that was the second time that he had misled the vice president. during the transition the vice president also went on television and said that flynn's son had no role in the transition. it later turned out he did have a role. >> and then his son was, of course, fired. had two conversations with the

vice president on friday. meantime, white house chief of staff reince priebus meets with him at mar-a-lago and tweets out maybe it's time for reince priebus to go as well so he's doing damage control. >> reporter: yeah, no question. one senior official said to me the first person in line to go is flynn, priebus is in a stronger position. this was chris ruddy, longtime trump friend, a member of mar-a-lago, but ruddy after saying that actually put out two tweets late last night, one saying that he had talked to reince priebus and priebus had shared his plans and looked promising and another saying he heard from jared kushner, of course, the president's son-in-law saying that they have full confidence in priebus so a little bit of damage control. >> ruddy heard from three cabinet members who he said expressed concerns about priebus. a lot going on at that white house. jon karl, thanks very much. amy has the other top stories. >> the coast guard has found a debris field as it searches for a fishing vessel from seattle

"saturday night live" have been taking on trump and his staff in a big way getting a big ratings boost but now critics suggest they may be pushing their politics too far sacrificing some laughs along the way and tom llamas is here with the story. >> reporter: good morning to you. to give you an idea of what kind of influence "snl" has, a newspaper in the dominican republic had to apologize for a story they ran on president trump and israel but it's not what they said that was the problem, the photo of president trump, come take a look, it's actually alec baldwin.

now, "snl" is doing more and more trump sketches but the comedy is going from cutting to cruel. >> first of all, you understand this is a tv court. right? >> that's okay. i'm a tv president. >> reporter: "saturday night live" riding a ratings high. this past weekend scoring their biggest audience in six years. >> amazing person. he knows me better than anyone. >> reporter: it's not just on tv. more than 22 million clicks on youtube to watch melissa mccarthy spoof press secretary sean spicer. >> because i came out here to punch you in the face and also i don't talk so good. >> reporter: trashing trump may be ratings gold for "snl" but now some are asking are they going too far? >> you weren't answering my calls. you changed your number. i'm not going to be ignored. >> reporter: comparing president trump's adviser kellyanne conway to glenn close in her 1987 film "fatal attraction." >> i'm not going to be ignored, dan. >> reporter: in the "snl" bit,

conway upset cnn was not booking her for an interview. >> we can't have you on. >> but i miss the news. >> reporter: the sketch painting conway as violent, graphic, sexual. at one point she falls from a window only to come back to life. >> see you on the news. >> reporter: "new york" magazine reporter olivia nuzzi tweeting "snl" just gave a gift to the white house with this sexist, unfunny kellyanne conway skit. for months president trump has tried to fight back against the show tweeting, "saturday night live" is the worst of nbc. not funny. cast is terrible. always a complete hit job. really bad television. >> this is the new spicy. >> reporter: spicer had said he's found his sketch funny. >> president -- oh, boy -- almad -- almazbeck. >> reporter: spicer is not laughing when it comes to other parts. >> "saturday night live" used to

be really funny and i think there's a streak of meanness now that they've crossed over into. >> reporter: president trump reportedly upset that spicer was being played by a woman. this weekend "snl" adding fuel to that fire having kate mckinnon play trump's new attorney general jeff sessions. >> we all know there are two kinds of crime, regular and black. >> reporter: and cast member leslie jones even dressing up as trump lobbying her "snl" boss to play him. >> i have a huge idea. big league. >> reporter: all right, we'll have to wait to see if that sketch happens. this morning we do have a statement from kellyanne conway to abc news on that "fatal attraction" sketch. conway says, i appreciate the not funny not fair outrage from all political and apolitical corners. things that aren't true don't bother. >> dean obeidallah, you worked on "snl." back in the clinton white house real outrage over the skit they

did over chelsea and had to apologize and stop doing it. in this case did they go too far with kellyanne? >> i don't think so. i think why should you be politically correct about people who hate political correctness. they came to power bemoaning the idea. liberals and snow flakes and politically correct. they're in power. they're the ones in power. >> funny? >> to some, yes. at the end of the day kellyanne conway in that sketch has the last laugh and gets up, i'll see you on tv. i think it was actually really well done and i think in today's day and age comedy is cathartic. we need to be laughing at the trump administration for those who don't like the trump administration. it's a release and makes you feel good. i think it's empowering. it's important, i think it was really well done. >> at some point do they have to worry about going to the well too many times. >> sure. that as why it's not just alec baldwin. it's donald trump. they went after sean spicer, jeff sessions and kellyanne conway. so i think they're aware of that. it's funny, i bet you they're disappointed trump didn't tweet after the show.

i have no doubt you want him to respond. i want him to mock me on twitter. it's good business. if he's watching, come right after me. it's making people laugh at a time when we need to laugh. >> jon karl, it does seem at some level "saturday night live" trying to provoke the president as well and we do know that he wasn't all that happy and a little concerned about that portrayal of sean spicer. >> reporter: he was certainly unhappy with the portrayal of spicer. in fact, spicer had been planning to come out and make a joke about it at his briefing the following monday. that did not happen. spicer simply thought it wasn't going to be a good idea because the boss was so upset and he was, sources tell me in the white house, he was upset in part because it was a woman playing sean spicer, so clearly "snl" was going at that as well. but i got to say on the kellyanne conway sketch, i don't think it was funny. it seemed to be incredibly mean-spirited. this is somebody who has young children and also just didn't -- what makes "snl" so funny when

they cut a little bit towards the truth. that was just not an accurate portrayal of conway. i mean, she is somebody who actually is pushed to do more television by the president. somebody who the president wanted to be the press secretary. the president wanted her to be out there nonstop. she has many more requests to go on television than those that she actually accepts. >> dean, "saturday night live" not going to stop. >> i hope not. i think we need. more jokes. it's good for us. it's a lot of fun. ratings, 22-year high. it's a great time for "snl." >> dean obeidallah and jon karl, thanks very much. that abc news exclusive. the parents of the 10-year-old boy killed at a water park. the parents are now breaking their silence. their silence.

gutman was the one to sit down with them. oh, we remember the story, oh, so well. >> such a brutal story and good morning. as a father i can tell you, you know, 10-year-old caleb was killed going down the world's biggest water slide is a parts' worst nightmare. what's striking isn't their suffering, it it's they remain unbroken and spoke to us to highlight the problems in amusement park safety. on the august day the schwabs went to the world's tallest water slide admission was free for the families of state legislators. but that thrill ride would cost the kansas state legislator and his wife what was most dear. >> six went to the park and five came back. >> reporter: six went to the park. five came back. >> reporter: now for the first time scott and michele schwab recount that tortured sunday. the schwabs decided to take their four boys including 10-year-old caleb, you see him here dancing with his baby brother, to the schlitterbahn water park. caleb and his 12-year-old

brother nathan went straight to the 170-foot scaffold of verruckt, which means insane in german. >> before they took off, i said, brothers stick together. and he says, i know, dad. i said, look at me, brothers stick together. i know, dad. >> reporter: it was the last time they'd see caleb alive. big brother nathan dutifully waited for him at the bottom when the unimaginable happened. >> he was screaming, he flew from verruckt, he flew from verruckt. >> reporter: the horror of it made it nearly impossible for 12-year-old nathan to explain what he'd seen. >> there was a gentleman who wouldn't allow me to come close enough to see what was going on and he just kept saying, no, trust me, you don't want to go any further. >> reporter: he was in such shock good samaritans had to confirm it. >> i need to hear you say it. is my son dead? he shook his head. i need to hear it, is my son dead? yes, he is.

perry while performing her single "chained to the rhythm" wore that armband with the word persist and ended with the projected image of the constitution up and final words being, no hate, so i think people will remember the 59th grammys for the incredible performances but also maybe the subtle and not so subtle references to the current political climate. >> and, cindi, some people expected this to be the most politically charged grammys ever. >> absolutely. >> do you think it lived up to the hype? >> absolutely. it's in the middle of an awards season and we're seeing it. we just came off of the golden globes with meryl streep's fiery speech at the golden globes. there was a pro trump dress also. joy villa wearing a dress that said make america great again. all that having been said, the most lasting political moment, political in a different way was adele dedicating her award to beyonce, acknowledging that in this year where themes of racial justice and equality really were center stage that "lemonade" explored all of those issues may

have deserved a win saying what a lot of people on social media were also saying, i think that was really powerful and i noticed a tweet afterwards that said, listen, "lemonade" is a movement. you can't stop a movement. beyonce, and you could tell it really meant a lot to beyonce that she said what she did. chance the rapper making a little history himself. >> for a guy that doesn't sell cds. >> exactly. so what does that say? >> it's recognition by the industry there is a new way to consume music and a recognition young people will do this for different kinds of ways. adele who really saved the music industry by selling all of those cds and chance who is completely the opposite but it's recognition that things change and the industry has to keep up with that and, you know, recognize people consume things in a different kind of way. >> he was so happy. >> unbelievable. >> he thought maybe one but then to get to three like he did and what he said. >> his song "no problem," so this morning, no problem taking his grammys. there are a lot of powerful moments. one of the biggest moments being adele in the middle of her song, tribute to george michael, she

princess cruises, come back new. we are back now with that health alert about the flu epidemic. cases are spiking around the country. thousands of people are heading to hospitals as the epidemic hits the worst levels of the season and dr. richard besser is here with the latest on that. doc, how bad is it right now. >> yeah, i mean this is probably the peak period. you know, if you take a look at the map. last week when we talked about this, 15 states were reporting high levels of flu. now that's up to 23 states plus new york city so thousands of people in the hospital and it's spreading south and northeast, midwest getting slammed. >> how do i know the difference

if i just have a cold or could have cough or the flu. >> yeah, i mean i get this question all the time. big overlap. let me show you, if you have a cold the symptoms really involve up here in your upper airway, sneezing, itchiness, runny nose, congestion, maybe a little bit of fever. okay, and that tells you have a cold. if your symptoms involve cough, body ache, high fever that comes on suddenly those are symptoms it's involving your lungs and it's the flu. but a lot of people it's somewhere in between. >> if i have the flu, what do i do? i already have it. what do you die? >> if you're an otherwise healthy person you treat it the same, rest, drink lots of fluid but if you're in the high risk group you need to know. pregnant woman, young child under 2, the elderly, people with asthma, they should go and get tested quickly. there is an antiviral drug that can make them feel better but has to be started in the first two days. >> george is coughing.

i don't think george has the flu but what about the cough. >> after you have the flu there's several reasons you can have a cough that lingers. they're all very important. the first one is your airways stay sensitive so cold air, any irritants, after the flu you're going to be having coughing fits for about a month. the second reason is something called bronchitis so down there in those airways that get inflamed with the flu. sometimes the muscles get twitchy like you have asthma and the treatment for bronchitis in that chest cough is an inhaler. not an antibiotic. but the third reason is the one that we worry about, pneumonia. if you're getting better from the flu and get a high fever and a cough, you need to be seen. get a chest x-ray and make sure it hasn't developed into pneumonia. when the elderly die from the flu it's frequently from that pneumonia. >> see your doctor. >> if you have those estimates don't ignore it. still not too late to get a flu shot. if you're in an area experiencing the flu. go ahead. it takes two weeks to kick in but you can get some prevention there and the other thing is, if

you've got the flu, don't go to work. don't send your kids to school because that makes it much, much worse for everybody. >> i appreciate you, doc. all that flu talk, give me a fist. the stars and styes filling the show at the grammys and secret behind adele's green gown. with not food, become food? thankfully at panera, 100% of our food is 100% clean. no artificial preservatives, sweeteners, flavors, or colors.

you can join us for abc 7 ♪ welcome back. great monday morning audience right here cheering for themselves. well deserved. >> i have to say, this next story that we're about to do, somebody sent me a tweet and they said, you have got to do this story stat. and we looked into it and i'm so glad we're doing it. >> yeah, yeah, i am too. because, you know, a lot of us are parents and even if you're not a parent, you know what the feeling is when your kids or you see kids that do something that make you so proud and i'm going to tell you about st. john's fifth grade basketball team from new jersey. the team is made up of nine boys and two girls and they've been playing basketball together for four years. well, a couple of weeks ago they were told they couldn't continue the rest of their season if the girls stayed on the team. >> come on.

>> yes. >> who were they told that by? >> the league is not officially coed but these kids have been together for four years. i don't know why it took so long to figure out. >> yeah. it wasn't a problem. >> it made no sense but when that was said the kids needed to make a decision and they did and take a look. >> is your decision to play the game without the two young ladies on the team or to stay as a team as we played all season with the girls on the team. >> to stay on the team. >> stay on the team. >> play as a team. play without the girls. [ cheers and applause ] >> that's wonderful. >> as you can see, they decided to stick together and we've got some members of the team here in our audience this morning. give it up for christian, kayla and jason. hi, christian. hi, kayla. hi, jason. [ applause ]

so, christian and jason, how did you guys -- what made you come up with decision to stick with your teammates. >> we found it was unfair kayla couldn't play and lilabelle and we wanted to stick up for them so they could play. >> how about you, jason? [ applause ] >> it was just unfair because why do it right now after we've been playing together for four years. why not do this later or why do it at all? >> yeah. and that's what a lot of us are wondering that. [ applause ] yeah, and, kayla, i'm curious, how did it make you feel when your teammates stood up for you. >> well, it made me feel very good and very satisfying to know that they had my back and that we would stick together for the whole season and that they wouldn't want to play without me. >> yeah. [ applause ] and i've been a part of a team

all my entire life and i'm just curious, what did this teach you about teamwork? >> well, it taught us to stick together and to make sure that we had each other's backs and to always stick with the same people until the end and just to make sure that we just stick together and stay as a group. >> stick together. >> always stick together and you guys are here together. i'm happy you're here together and i have one more question for all of you. what do you want to say to all the other kids out there about your team and about teamwork? >> we want to say that no matter what, you should always stick with your team and have their back. >> i agree with that. [ applause ] jason, what would you like to say to other kids out there? >> i say just have the girls' back if they're on a team and um --

>> well, you said enough. that's enough right there. it really is. and, kayla, it must feel good to have a team like you have. >> yes. >> and have this type of support and we want you to know we support you too, all right? >> thank you. [ applause ] >> my team that couldn't be here today, hi. >> hi. >> always a great message, teamwork, and, robin, you got something. >> maybe he's going to recruit you one day. i don't know. we want to bring in someone else who knows a little thing or two about basketball, a lot, coach geno auriemma from uconn, the huskies are on the verge of history going for their 100th consecutive win tonight which would make them the first ncaa team ever with triple-digit winning streak and i know, my good friend geno auriemma joins us from the great state of

connecticut there on the campus of uconn. [ applause ] i know you feel the love, geno. before i ask about your team. you heard these kids. you're from new jersey. how does it make you feel that this team, they stuck together and they said, you know what, if we all can't play, none of us are going to play. >> i for the life of me can't understand the decision. i would like to think that smart and reasonable people understand this. my son played at that same age in a rec league and there were two girls on the team and one of the girls was one of the best players on the team so i don't care what age you are, on the court, on the playing field, there's no such thing as bias, you know, these kids have learned at a really young age what's right and what's wrong

and i hope these -- the boys on that team grow up and when they're adults, they have the same empathy and the same feelings and the same level of respect for the women that they're going to be working with as they do for their teammates today. that would be a great lesson for these kids. >> that's a great point there, geno. [ applause ] creates that foundation. you know, geno, we go back a long way, orange and white on monday night, wnba games. we'll go down -- it's not throwback thursday or flashback friday but here's a moment from our time together. >> hey, rebecca, i want to know did you give geno broadcasting tip. >> only when he says good things >> then you take the credit. >> first rebecca lobo, now, geno auriemma. what's going on here? >> you're getting better all the time. >> thank you. let's go back to the studio. >> how young you were, geno. even george said, he's still good looking. >> he is good looking.

>> you had those great players like rebecca lobo and so many over the years but in all seriousness, geno, the way you have established this wonderful program, the graduation rate, these wonderful kids that come in and out of the program, what is it about this team that you're on the brink of making history tonight? >> i don't know. i've been asked the question so many times that i've run out of ways to answer it other than to say this team is a by-product of if you go back as far as rebecca lobo what was started, you know, over 20 years ago and this team is reaping the rewards of that and they've added to it. you know, because it's not easy coming here to play basketball knowing what's happened before you and knowing that how hard it's going to be to duplicate it much less add to it, so, i'm really proud of the way they've handled it. i'm proud of what we've been able to accomplish up to this point.

we kind of take it in stride and everybody is making a big deal over it tonight because of the number 100, but tomorrow morning we're going to wake up and i don't think we're going to feel that much different. i've tried to tell these kids, they're already a part of history and no one can ever take that away from them and all they can do now is just continue to add to it and i hope they're enjoying the moment. whether we win or lose tonight, this is -- it's an important day because of the attention that's being focused on the game of women's basketball. so, they're going to feel proud of themselves down the road for being part of this. >> well, you all deserve the attention, the sport does and thank you. you've been a wonderful ambassador, geno, and just it's going to be a tough one tonight, though. we'll watch it. going to have tough. >> we'll be watching. [ applause ] >> it will be tough. it will be tough but, you know,

i try to tell them, robin, you know, if you're a pretty good player and you pay attention and you do everything right, you know, someday you too could grow up to be not quite robin roberts but almost. so there you go. [ applause ] >> i was wondering where you were going with that, my friend. thank you. and you can watch uconn in its quest for 100 when they take on south carolina tonight at 9:00 p.m. on espn2. love that man.

[ applause ] now you're on "good morning america." how did this get started? >> well, this really started from me dancing in the mirror and being goofy at a very young age and -- >> you're still at a very young age just so you know. >> i know, it's just a habit for me saying that. it started off with me dancing in the mirror and being goofy and it escalated to motivational speaking. i never wanted to be a motivational speaker at first. at first i wanted to be an actor and a rapper but motivational speaking is just something that

escalates to. >> i know people will go, come on, man. you're 11 years old. you're going to preach to me. how do you react to people who say that you're too young to do this which is ridiculous. >> well, how i react to that i go on stage, i speak, i get off the stage and i look at their faces and i see them blown away. >> all right, all right. [ applause ] >> speaking at a young age. >> let's see you blow away some people. we have young people your age and there's issues they're going through and we're going to start with bullying and we have confidence and so, lauren, what is your question for king nahh? >> what inspirational messages do you have for kids to help build their self-esteem and confidence? >> that is a great question, lauren. so i'm just going to give you a little scenario. think about when you're building a lego tower or sand castle and it's perfect, it's right where you want it, tall, amazing and your little brother comes in and knocks over your lego tower or your friends come to the beach and make a mistake and run over your sand castle.

you won't let your castle be shattered all over the floor, are you? the only way to get it back is if you build it back up again. think about it like that but with your confidence when people try to knock your confidence down and break you have to build your confidence up, every morning by waking up and looking in the mirror and telling yourself, i am great. i am powerful. i am strong, anything that motivates you and anything that gets you going. >> all right. [ applause ] >> not only you, lauren, i saw some adults shaking their head as well. bullying is also an issue that a lot of people, especially young people are dealing with. brooks, you have a question? >> what do you think a person should do to show love and positivity towards someone who is trying to bully or tease them. >> what i would say to that, try to communicate with that person. attitudes are evidence of misery and what that means is when a person is getting abused at home and a person getting yelled at they go to a school and they look forward to picking on a younger person. so, that's why you have to communicate with them and talk to them and sometimes another

thing, try to help them when they're struggling with the subject in class because then you can become friends and then you can convince them to stop bullying. i've done it multiple times. >> how does this come to you? how have you -- where do these life lessons -- who has motivated you? how has this happened? >> i was going to point to my father but he doesn't like being on tv so -- [ laughter ] but my father, he was always my motivation. he always drives me. every time i thought about giving up. every time i thought about quitting he was right there for me. >> i love it because we were going to have him on. he said, no, this is my son's moment. don't put the cam are on him. he doesn't want the camera on him. way to go, dad. all right. now you motivated the young ones. how about the old folks. what can you say on this monday? give us a little monday motivation. >> the big monday. this is the day that a lot of adults complain about.

i want to tell all of you beautiful people this, now think about your monday like a basket. unless you say you only put greasy food in it like fried chicken and barbecued wings. i don't eat beef or pork but i'm saying mm-mm for the crowd. since there's only greasy food in there how do you expect to pull out an apple or banana, something healthy for you. think about your day the same way. only put negative thoughts in it how do you expect to have a positive day. you have to put positive thoughts in your day, be positive, be happy and then i guarantee you you will have the best monday that you ever had in your entire life. >> this is a very good monday.
