good morning, america. president trump strikes a new tone overnight. >> the time for small thinking is over. the time for trivial fights is behind us. >> delivering an optimistic message in his first address to congress. outlining an ambitious agenda suggesting a possible shift in immigration policy. >> i believe that real and positive immigration reform is possible. >> and the emotional moment when the wife of a fallen soldier brought to tears was introduced. live in washington, d.c. with the vice president and democratic leader this morning. severe weather alert. a deadly tornado outbreak overnight. 22 reported twisters from iowa to tennessee destroying homes, tossing cars off the road. with winds over 100 miles an hour, now the system is moving east with more than 100 million on alert this morning.

caught on camera, uber's ceo lashing out at one of his drivers. >> they claim every -- >> they blame everything -- >> good luck to you. >> good luck to you. >> now admitting he needs help. ♪ and get ready to rumba, the brand-new cast of "dancing with the stars" tangoing into times square. which world series winner and '80s legend are about to battle it out in the ballroom. the big reveal right here live only on "gma." ♪ try not to move too much. just a little bit. a lot of excitement for the big "dancing with the stars" reveal. >> a lot of excitement around here. i'll give you at home a little clue, okay. we pity the fool.

>> that's a little clue? that's a little clue? >> we pity the fool who doesn't watch this. >> you've been doing that all morning long. a lot of news to get to and george is in washington, d.c. where the president spoke. we saw a shift in tone from the president. >> we certainly did. what a difference a month makes. very different tone from the inaugural speech a month ago, 40 days ago, the president striking a much more optimistic note and the policies pretty much the same but a much more optimistic tone and for a man who likes to break the rules the president followed the traditions of states of the union last night including that moment right there when he honored the widow of navy s.e.a.l. ryan owens, karen owens brought to the crowd to its feet. more than a minute and a half of a standing ovation. that was clearly the emotional high point of the night. >> it really was. >> looked like before that speech the president had a little practice when he was in the car with his daughter ivanka and son-in-law jared kushner there's a video there, looked like he was preparing for what

he was about to say. >> right to our senior white house correspondent cecilia vega who was in washington has much more for us. good morning. >> reporter: good morning to you. this was a shift in tone from president trump perhaps an attempt to reach out to some of the people in that room perhaps an attempt to win over some skeptics but it was also a speech short on details for how he plans to achieve his vision for america. >> the president of the united states. >> reporter: right out of the gate the president delivering on one promise, a message of optimism. >> i'm here tonight to deliver a message of unity and strength and it is a message deeply delivered from my heart. a new chapter. of american greatness is now beginning. >> reporter: and softening his tone on another, immigration. >> i believe that real and positive immigration reform is possible. if we are guided by the well-being of american citizens then i believe republicans and democrats can work together to

achieve an outcome that has eluded our country for decades. >> reporter: democrats giving their first standing ovation of the night to combating terrorism. >> we will work with our allies including our friends and allies in the muslim world to extinguish this vile enemy from our planet. >> reporter: but when it came to health care, a break along party lines hit the house chamber floor. >> i am also calling on this congress to repeal and replace obamacare. >> reporter: republicans applauding. while some democrats booed. giving the president a thumbs down. among the opponents, democratic women lawmakers dressed in white, a show of solidarity for women's rights. but it was this surprise guest that created the evening's emotional high point. >> we are blessed to be joined tonight by corrine owens, the

widow of u.s. navy s.e.a.l. special operator, senior chief william ryan owens. ryan died as he lived, a warrior and a hero, battling against terrorism and securing our nation. >> reporter: the widow of chief petty officer ryan owens who was killed in combat almost a month ago to the day sitting right next to first daughter ivanka trump, owens was brought to tears during a nearly two-minute-long standing ovation. >> and ryan is looking down right now, you know that, and he's very happy because i think he just broke a record. >> reporter: the president closing with a call to work across party lines. >> the time for small thinking is over. the time for trivial fights is behind us. >> reporter: so, about timing, the president was supposed to issue that executive order travel ban, the new one today. we are now being told that is

being delayed. as for democrats, you know, they chose two very symbolic faces to respond to the president's speech, an undocumented immigrant, a d.r.e.a.m.er and former kentucky governor. who is credited with expanding obamacare in his state. >> we are joined by chuck schumer. senator schumer, thank you for joining us this morning. you know, the first poll out from cnn showed it pretty positive, overwhelmingly positive reaction. to the president's speech. did he strike a chord with his tone last night? >> no, i don't think so and here's the basic problem, george. his speeches are always totally detached from reality. he talks to the working folks of america, they were his main constituency but the way he's governed has been totally with the hard right special interests against the working people. so, for instance, he talked in his speech about infrastructure, we democrats put together a plan a month ago. we haven't heard a peep out of him. no plan, no ideas. trade, talked a lot about trade.

he had a real opportunity on trade and in his campaign he talked over and over again about making china currency manipulator on his first day. he didn't and maybe most of all he said he would clean up the swamp. his cabinet is filled with bankers, billionaires, people with huge conflicts of interest, denizens of the swamp so, you know, you can give a speech but what the american people want is action and his actions are totally, totally detached from the speech. the speech will go away today and his actions will be there, that's why he had such a rough 40 days. >> one of the places he did call for action and even compromise on immigration reform. did you hear something there you can work with and are there compromises you're prepared to make? >> seen that movie before. about two weeks ago he called for compromise. his hard right supporters and his -- some of his staff people said you got to walk it back. he walked it back. he spoke to you reporters, you know, more cosmopolitan, and

gave a harsh anti-immigration speech. that's why i believe the next six months will be even more difficult than the past 40 days. >> the speaker of the house, paul ryan, was encouraged by what he heard, repealing and replacing obamacare and the president seemed to embrace what the speaker has been working on. are you still confident they won't be able to get repeal through? >> absolutely. the president didn't make any of the tough decisions. i think in their hearts the republican leaders were saying, all right, make up your mind. are we going to just repeal, if we're not going to repeal what are we going to replace it with? are we giving more money to the states who had medicare -- who increased medicare or cut them back? none of that was there. that's why today he is back in the same old hole on the day he was before today. >> one word we did not hear, russia. are you confident that the investigative committees in the house and senate are going to get to the bottom of whatever happened during the campaign? >> look, it's very serious and

17 intelligence agencies say russia tried to manipulate our election. whether trump was involved or not, we don't know and i believe they will get to the bottom of it. that's how america works. it may take a little while but they will. >> senator schumer, thanks for your time this morning. >> thank you, george. and we are joined in the studio by the vice president of the united states, mike pence. mr. vice president, thank you for joining us. >> good morning, george. >> you heard senator schumer and said the president's speech was detached from reality. the policies don't match the rhetoric. >> it was a great speech but more importantly it was a great night for america on what the american people saw was the president that i serve with every day, broad shoulders, big heart but laid out the agenda that he ran on, specifically to repeal and replace obamacare, to rebuild our military, to rebuild our infrastructure, to have better and smarter trade deals, to put american workers first. and to do the kind of tax relief and regulatory reform that will unleash the full potential. of the american economy. >> still some divisions on repealing and replacing obamacare.

are you confident it will happen and will the replacement guarantee that everyone who has coverage now won't lose coverage? that's a promise broken the president said by president obama. >> that's right. i'm very confident. we met this weekend with governors from around the country and both political parties to talk about this. at the president's direction we made repealing and replacing obamacare the number one priority of the congress. what you saw him do last night is what the american people like to see presidents do and that is first describe the problem and really -- i mean, premiums that have gone up more than 100% in some areas around the country, i mean, these insurance exchanges are collapsing, people have lost the choice of their doctor, lost their insurance but then the president laid out that framework, those principles as he described them that will now guide the legislative process. >> but can he guarantee everyone who has coverage now won't lose it? >> i think the president's made it clear to congress that particularly when it comes to

the most vulnerable population, the medicaid population, we don't want anyone to fall through the cracks and you heard him mention tax credits last night. what the president wants the congress to do is to create a framework for people to afford coverage and lastly heard him talking about allowing americans to buy insurance across state lines, lowering the cost of health insurance rather than mandating that people buy -- >> will that guarantee that no one loses coverage? >> i think the president has made it clear, no one will fall through the cracks and worked with state governors this weekend to make sure as we said the most disadvantaged citizens among us are going to be able to rely on having the kind of programs, but better programs, that's what you heard the president talk about last night was really a better future for america, more prosperous, a better health care system, better trade deals and a stronger military that will have america standing tall in the world again. >> the president talked about immigration. you heard senator schumer right there say he doesn't buy that

the president is coming forward with a comprehensive immigration reform. is he creating a path to legalization for undocumented immigrants? >> if you go back to the campaign there was a famous speech in phoenix where the president laid out his priorities. one of the things people saw last night is that the candidate, donald trump, is the president donald trump and he spoke about those priorities. we'll build a wall. we're going to enforce -- >> didn't say mexico would pay for it. >> enforce the laws of the country, well, they are and we're going to make sure that we get in his words the criminal aliens out of this country first but it was last summer that the president said that with regard to those that are remaining, that we'll see and i think what you saw last night was the president acting on the priorities that he ran on and i think that's the reason why this speech is being so well received is that people are seeing that the agenda that they voted for, the agenda that a majority of americans believe is the right

agenda is exactly the agenda president trump is advancing. >> one thing we didn't hear how these promises will be paid for. is the president still committed to reducing the debt, moving toward a balanced budget? >> well, there's no question, george, that with nearly $20 trillion in national debt this president is committed to fiscal responsibility. the budget outline that he sent to capitol hill this week included an historic increase in military spending but it was offset by cuts in other areas of domestic spending and made it clear he wants to make a priority of national security and rebuilding our military but in a fiscally responsible way but the real answer to fiscal responsibility is growth and the message that president trump delivered last night was a message of growth through tax relief, regulatory reform, unleashing american energy, better and smarter trade deals and i think that's the reason why this speech and agenda is resonating so well. >> thanks for your time. >> thank you.

>> up to you in new york. more from you in washington just ahead. let's turn to that severe weather alert after those deadly storms tore across the country overnight. at least 22 reported tornadoes in four states and ginger zee has the latest. good morning, ginger. >> good morning, michael. it is happening right now. look at this radar, the tornado watch that extends from parts of tennessee up through ohio this morning we have new damage pictures coming in. these amazing tornado pictures. that collar cloud around the wall cloud. that major tornado. this picture is out of cincinnati. moments ago we're seeing damage from wind and potentially tornadoes. if you're in this region, nashville up through louisville over to west virginia, watch for the severe storms. lots of dynamics. huge temperature gradient where the warmth meets the cold and not just one line we will have rounds even here in new york city, rounds of storms today where we're in the slight risk region. we'll have much more to come. for now back to michael. >> thank you, ginger. out to alex perez in

survive and my whole street is wrecked. >> reporter: that bringing baseball size hail and in wisconsin the ice littering roads forcing many to pull over. in missouri a tornado taking the lives of two people after touching down on interstate 55, tossing cars and trucks off the road like toys. and you can see this massive tree knocking down this power line. crews have been working through the night to try to restore power. the cleanup here just now we beginning. michael, robin. >> yeah, we're thinking of all those affected. now amy with the other top stories starting with the attack on kim jong-un's brother. >> two female agents accusing of using that nerve agent to kill the half brother of kim jong-un were charged with murder today. they appeared calm while entering a malaysian court. they could face the death penalty. the women claim they were told the airport chemical attack was actually a prank for a television show. authorities want to question

seven other north korean suspects. back here in this country a widespread slowdown on the internet has now been traced to amazon's massive cloud computing service which went down for more than four hours tuesday. the system hosts more than 500,000 websites including netflix, airbnb and spotify, amazon says the issues are now resolved. we have new details about the crash at a mardi gras parade in alabama. an suv slamming into a high school marching band. 3 of the 12 students hit suffered critical injuries, police say the driver apparently hit the gas instead of the brake. in louisiana, a driver went flying into the air after hitting a set of spike strips. look at that. wow. going 150 miles an hour. the truck hit a restaurant and landed on top of a parked car but incredibly, nobody was seriously injured. finally a fashion statement from billionaire commerce secretary wilbur ross. during the president's address to congress ross wore a pair of

velvet slippers that cost up to $600. if you look closely they feature a custom embroidered logo of the commerce department. he's taking heat for his choice of footwear but slippers might have been the right choice considering the speech didn't end till after 10:00 p.m. if you're going to wear slippers to hear the president, at least they were really nice slippers. >> you got to keep your feet comfortable. >> not like he can't afford them. all right, amy, thanks so much. >> i love your shoes today, robin. >> i'm not wearing any shoes. >> robin is barefoot today. >> i didn't notice that today. >> that is correct. >> i cannot believe you outed me like that. >> slippers -- it slipped out. how about that, ginger, you have more on that severe weather. >> yeah, i do. >> is that what we're doing? i'll take these shoes right after. tennis ball size hail, one of the threats today. that area, i need you to focus in on rhode island back through parts of mississippi.

>> thank you. >> thank you. now to that stand your ground case in florida. the shooter, curtis reeves taking the stand for the first time claiming he killed a man in a movie theater in self-defense. abc's t.j. holmes is here, has new details. >> good morning. he says it was a life-or-death struggle. how did it come to that? it came over an argument about turning off a cell phone. during the movie previews where the man he shot went from in his words being a loud mouth to a definite threat. >> what did you do with that pistol? >> i shot him. >> reporter: late tuesday the 73-year-old retired police officer accused of killing a man after an argument over a cell phone in a movie theater took the stand in his own defense. >> why did you shoot him? >> at that point it was his life or mine. >> reporter: curtis reeves speaking publicly about the shooting for the first time is facing a second degree murder charge for his role in the 2014 death of 43-year-old husband and father chad oulson.

reeves is using florida's controversial stand your ground law in a hearing hoping to avoid going to trial. >> what is the address of your emergency? >> reporter: reeves said he asked oulson to put his phone away during the movie previews and an argument ensued and oulson first threw his cell phone at him hitting him in the head and throwing his popcorn at him as well. >> he was getting ready to punch me and i perceived that at some point and that's when the pistol came out. >> reporter: reeves said he feared for his life. a sentiment his wife who was seated next to him in that theater echoed at the hearing. >> were you still scared? >> oh, i was -- yes, i was scared. >> have you ever been as scared as you were on that day? >> never. >> reporter: but the state prosecutor questioned reeves' account. >> you believe that mr. oulson was coming over the seat and you were hit with something, right? >> that's correct. >> reporter: oulson's wife says he was using the cell phone to reach the baby-sitter. he did stand up to argue but

reeves stood up too. >> there is no way that someone can convince me that because someone threw popcorn in someone else's face that they're in fear for their life and they have to respond with life-threatening force. >> get this, the judge making the decision in this hearing at least on stand your ground went to the theater, sat in the exact chair that curtis reeves sat down in and also watched the exact same previews just to put herself in that mind-set of what he was going through and, again, as dan about to tell you she's making the decision, this is not some jury trial. one judge will decide. >> we'll see if that works for or against him. all right, t.j., thanks very much. dan abrams is here. our lead analyst and also, dan, nancy grace joins us from atlanta. nancy, good to have you here. you have this new law news network covering it gavel to gavel as it has begun. does the stand your ground apply here? >> this is a tough one, remember, this is a hearing to

determine does he even go to trial? under florida's controversial stand your ground law you're allowed to basically say i want to be able to convince a judge that there shouldn't even be a trial because i was reasonable in the actions that i took. the problem for him here is that he goes from saying i felt like this guy, the victim, chad oulson was going to come at me to i was in a life and death struggle. it's unclear why he believed it was life and death. yes, this was a cell phone thrown at him, he says, yes, he claims chad oulson was sort of leaning towards him, but the idea that he then pulls out his gun and shoots him, look, he may have a better argument at trial if he doesn't win in this hearing. but to win in this hearing where he has the burden to prove it, i think it's a real long shot. >> what's your take, nancy? >> this case is going to trial. i'm not a betting woman but i would put money on it.

because you can't claim because he throws popcorn on you, you can shoot him. that would be like me slapping you and you shoot me dead with an uzi. what this boils down is a retired police captain who was not used to people standing up to him and not doing what he tells them to do. and very important, no other witness other than him can verify or corroborate that he, reeves, was ever hit before he fired the gun and another thing he said, the pistol came out like it's acting all on its own. he pulled the pistol and he shot the guy and it's on video. >> but there are two critical witnesses here and that is chad oulson, the victim's wife and reeves' wife both who have testified in this hearing telling very different accounts of what led up to this and they are both critical witnesses. >> that's significant, dan. that is very significant, dan is right. and what i find so incredible about it is that reeves' own

wife cannot corroborate his story that he was hit. nobody can say that. when you look at the video, you can see him pull his arm up and shoot straight ahead. >> nancy, would you agree that he's a good witness, considering, you know, considering the tough facts here. >> i will. i agree with you. i think he came across very well on the stand. he was very calm and, in fact, i thought he looked rehearsed. i really did but there is no way that this judge is going to allow somebody to get popcorn thrown at them then they pull a gun and shoot you dead. i also went to the theater myself in wesley park to see what it was like, and it verifies everything that the state is saying. i really think this guy turned into a bully. >> it really puts the stand your ground back in the spotlight, the public's perception. >> such a good point. >> of this law. >> if he gets off at this hearing based on the stand your ground law, oh, my goodness, you're going to have a

megacontroversy surround the law again, so, this is a very important case with regard to the law. >> all right. nancy as always, thank you very much for your insight and perspective. dan, we'll check back with you for something else. >> thank you. coming up, that shocking tape, the uber ceo caught on camera in a heated exchange with his driver. also ahead, david cassidy is speaking out for the first time about his battle with dementia. don't go anywhere. we'll be right back. we'll be right back.

we are back now with that new scandal for uber. its ceo caught on camera arguing with one of its drivers over what the company charges riders. abc's rebecca jarvis is here with the story and i think this is a little surprising to all of us to see it. >> it is surprising, michael. a lot of people talking about it. what you're about to see starts as an argument between the uber ceo and an uber driver over fares but then it escalates into personal insults.

the video sparking outrage online and an unbelievable apology from the ceo. the 40-year-old ceo seen riding in the backseat of an uber speaking with two companions and the driver fazi kamel when things get heated. >> but people are not trusting you anymore. i lost $97,000 because of you. i'm bankrupt because of you. >> you changed the whole business. >> what? >> you dropped the prices on -- >> on black. >> yes, you did. >> [ bleep ]. >> we started with $20. how much is the mile now, $2.75. >> you know what? >> what? >> some people don't like to take responsibility for their own [ bleep ] -- >> i take responsibility. >> they blame everything in their life -- >> for town car. >> good luck to you. >> good luck to you. >> after it surfaced he wrote to employees to say i am ashamed is an extreme understatement. it's clear this video is a reflection of me and this is the first time i've been willing to admit that i need leadership

help and i intend to get it. the incident the latest in a series of public relations nightmares that have been trailing uber at every turn. in february the company coming under fire after a former employee and female software engineer posted a blog accusing the transportation giant of turning a blind eye to sexual harassment. uber hiring former u.s. attorney general eric holder to conduct an internal investigation. and earlier this year they were accused of taking advantage of a new york taxi strike in protest of president trump's travel ban. the move prompting many to tweet, #deletuber. kalanick apologized to the driver in that video and entire uber riding community saying he's profoundly sorry. everyone in silicon valley is now talking about this and talking about the fact there needs to be action to follow all of this up. >> attempting to go public too. >> this could have an impact. >> thank you, rebecca. robin.

from my sweet dreams? thanks to tena, not tonight! only tena overnight underwear ...with its secure barrier system gives you.... ...triple protection from leaks, odor and moisture. tena lets you be you we are back with the big board. dr. besser is here at the table for our first story and we want to get to that right away with david cassidy, "the partridge family" star revealing new details about his battle with dementia. in an exclusive interview with dr. phil that airs today here's a little of it. >> what was the first symptom that you noticed? >> when friends of yours or family members begin to say to you, remember i just told you this two days ago and there's no memory of it. that's when i began to be very concerned. >> was that what caused you to say i need to go get myself checked. >> oh, my god, yes.

>> memory loss, dr. b. >> yeah, as we get older we all forget some things, where did we put our keys or miss an e of the scary things about dementia is that it comes on slowly and so you may not realize that there's a big problem and it's often someone who knows you well who says, you know, there's something wrong here and that's a hard thing to say to somebody so when they do that's when you really need to get checked. >> also in that interview with dr. phil he did not -- in some recent -- in a recent performance he forgot some lyrics and slurred his words. he denied he had any alcohol. but he has struggled with alcohol addiction and does that accelerate dementia? >> you know, there are many different causes of dementia, alzheimer's disease is the leading cause, but chronic alcohol abuse is damaging to the brain, that can cause dementia. high blood pressure that causes mini strokes can cause dementia and no one test so all of these for some people with dementia there are many different factors that come

together and may have alzheimer's but also may have problem with their brain from chronic alcoholism. >> as david and others have talked about, it runs in his family, so you want to get tested but what do you do when -- >> one of the hottest areas for research is looking at genetics of dementia. genetics of alzheimer's disease. for certain types there is a strong link early alzheimer's so he's on the border. anything below 65 is considered early. but there's some family where in the 30s, 40s, 50s, there is a strong genetic link. most doctors don't do genetic testing. there's not much they can say there except maybe offer early drug trials for those really early cases but what they'll say is live a brain healthy life. you know, avoid smoking, if you drink, drink in moderation, keep keep your blood pressure under control and if people recognize something is going on get checked early so that they can evaluate you and see what's going on. >> all right. thank you for the advice, doctor. we appreciate that. and next up, that blockbuster book deal for the obamas. after a heated bidding war

between major publishers, penguin random house landing the rights to the former president and first lady's book deal worth reportedly $60 million. yeah, i said that right, robin. $60 million. cokie roberts joins us now. cokie, we've seen -- that's a lot of money for two books or a few books. how does this compare to books from other former presidents. >> president clinton reportedly o' -- got $15 million, president bush, $10 million, mrs. clinton 8 million. so it's a lot more money but it is eye-popping. i'm told that it is probably including foreign rights and that both of the obamas are very popular abroad and so that they could make a lot of money off of their books selling them abroad. >> you think that's primarily the reason why a publisher is willing to pay this amount? >> i've also heard, robin, this will amuse you, that michelle obama's book is really the book that people are interested in

and that they did them together probably so that she wouldn't be getting more than president obama. and embarrassing him. >> to save the former president's ego. >> and marriage perhaps. >> these books are highly anticipated. the second i think everyone read it said we can't wait to read it. what do you think we can expect from the books and when will they hit the bookshelves? that's the big question. >> aye apparently according to reports they should come out next year so the two of them have to get writing, get cracking but mrs. obama's book is likely to be the story of her life and she's told us a lot of the story of her life, but we certainly haven't seen it written by her and president obama has sold very successful books before. we can expect that again. >> when he was in town, cokie, recently, oh, my goodness and everybody thought he was here to work on a book deal but the crowd that came out to see him spontaneously was something else. all right, cokie. >> that is new york.

democrats and republicans in congress to work with us to save americans from this imploding obamacare disaster. >> the democrats made it clear they are not happy about any repeal of obamacare and there may be a growing rift in the house as conservatives criticize the draft of a republican plan to replace obamacare. well, the other big story, a deadly storm system spawning nearly two dozen tornadoes across the middle of the country. one person was killed in illinois and at least one person died when a twister picked up cars at a missouri junk yard and then threw them onto interstate 55. there is new video this morning showing the damage that storm left behind in the city of perryville, missouri, the storms are now moving east. and a murder mystery in nashville where a 23-year-old nurse has been found dead in her home. police say her killer is still on the run and surveillance video shows a person leaving the condo where kimberly ferguson was stabbed. her roommate heard her screaming
