election after reports he had at least two meetings with the russian ambassador, meetings he did not disclose when asked during his confirmation hearing and pierre thomas tracking this breaking story from washington. good morning, pierre. >> reporter: good morning, george. that's right. some democrats are calling on sessions to resign after reports that he met with the russian ambassador before the election and did not tell congress during his confirmation hearings. this morning, the attorney general under fire over this exchange with senator al franken regarding allegations of russian ties to trump associates. >> if there is any evidence that anyone affiliated with the trump campaign communicated with the russian government in the course of this campaign, what will you do? >> senator franken, i'm not aware of any of those activities. i have been called a surrogate at a time or two in that campaign and i didn't have -- did not have communications with the russians. and i'm unable to comment on it.

>> reporter: but sessions according to his own records met with russia's ambassador to the united states twice during the 2016 presidential election season, once in his senate office in september and once following an event with the heritage foundation in july. justice department officials said last night there was nothing unusual about those meetings, that the meeting in his office was on his public schedule and attended by his staff. they said he met with numerous ambassadors including ones from china, canada and great britain as part of his duties on the senate armed services committee and that it was a brief encounter with 50 other ambassadors present. all critical because u.s. intelligence agencies have been investigating whether any trump associates were talking with russian officials during the campaign. he said, i never met with any russian officials to discuss issues of the campaign. i have no idea what this allegation is about. it is false. sessions has been under pressure from democrats to recuse himself because he was one of trump's earliest congressional

supporters and the key adviser during the campaign. now, with questions about his own contacts with russians, democrats are calling for him to step aside from any investigations involving the russians and there will likely be additional calls for a special prosecutor. sessions is the nation's chief law enforcement officer overseeing the fbi which has been investigating russian attempts to influence the 2016 election. he now faces incredible pressure from democrats who are accusing him of lying under oath but his spokesperson said there was nothing misleading about sessions' comments during the hearing. she said he was asked about communications between russia and the trump campaign, not about meetings that took place when he was a senator, george. >> okay, pierre, this is complicated by the fact that "the wall street journal" reported that sessions has been a subject of those investigations which are ultimately led by the fbi so that leads to the question can someone who has been a subject of the investigation be the person ultimately responsible for it. >> reporter: george, we have no information that sessions has

been under any kind of formal investigation but now given these questions about his congressional testimony, some may call for just such a probe. george. >> okay, pierre thomas, thanks very much. for more now on how the trump administration is responding to all of in this morning, let's go to our senior white house correspondent cecilia vega. good morning, cecilia. >> reporter: amy, good morning to you. strong pushback from the white house this morning. they are calling this a political attack on them this, of course, comes as the trump administration is still riding very high following that joint session speech and the glowing reviews, but this is not the story line that they were hoping to wake up to this morning, more questions about contacts with russia. this is the statement that they sent overnight as the story broke. take a look. this is the latest attack against the trump administration by partisan democrats. attorney general sessions met with the ambassador in an official capacity. now, it was just a couple of weeks ago right here at the white house that the president himself said that nobody i know of, amy, had contacts with the russians leading up to the election.

>> and, yet, cecilia, we are learning this morning that the trump administration is directing white house staffers to keep any materials that could be related to russia, correct? >> reporter: yeah, that's right. you know, white house lawyers sent these instructions yesterday to aides here at the white house basically telling them to save all materials that might show any contacts between anyone in the administration and the russians. now, the white house says they this was a proactive step they wanted to take to push back against what they call politically motivated attacks. >> thanks. more on this from jon karl, our chief white house correspondent, matthew dowd, our chief political analyst and, john, let me begin with you and saw the white house dismissing these. the democrats call for jeff sessions to resign but the pressure for the attorney general to recuse himself from this investigation as he's facing questions about his testimony is going to get intense. >> reporter: no question about that, george. look, it's important to say at first that i've been reporting

on this issue of the russian connection for weeks now. nobody in any of these discussions has suggested in any way that jeff sessions would have been the conduit between the campaign and the russians if there was one but the white house knows sessions' staff knows, sessions himself knows there's at the very least there is an appearance problem. he is going to have to recuse himself. he cannot be the one making decisions about where this investigation goes. >> and, matt, intensely calls for a special prosecutor to look into it as well. >> the trump folks thought they had this great momentum 48 hours ago and used to be momentum on these big speeches would be gauged in weeks, then days, now it's gauged in hours. i think when you look at this whole thing to keep up the march madness theme, donald trump gave a great halftime speech in game one of the tournament but there's a lot of games left and this will complicate his ability to sort of go through this process. >> jon karl, a lot of strands of this story out there this morning.

you've been covering it for weeks now. the trump administration has consistently denied any contacts between people affiliated with the campaign and russians during the campaign, yet "the new york times" reporting this morning new details, they're saying of multiple european intelligence agencies having information about these contacts and u.s. intelligence separately intercepting communications from russians about these contacts. >> reporter: well, you know, george, since that "new york times" story broke saying there were regular contacts between trump associates including associates on the campaign and the russians, i have not heard emphatic blanket denials from the white house anymore including pointedly from the president himself as you remember i asked him directly at his press conference if he -- if there were any contacts between his campaign and the russians. he answered by saying that he didn't have any contacts so i think this is something that, frankly, trump's own team is unsure and very reluctant to make blanket denials anymore. >> how does the white house get

ahead of this? >> i think it's very difficult. the best explanation they have is sort of clintonesque which is we were asked a specific question on this and he was answering a specific question with that. normally what this white house does and donald trump does is change the topic to something totally different in this. i think this will go on. as we talked about in the aftermaths of the election, the two things likely to dog donald trump were conflict of interest related to his business and russian contacts during the course of the campaign and we're still at it today. >> okay, matthew dowd, jon karl, thanks very much. >> he might want to change it to the economy. the stock market skyrocketing after his speech breaking the 21,000 barrier for the first time ever and the president tweeting about it and our chief business correspondent rebecca jarvis is at the new york stock exchange. how are people feeling down there? >> reporter: well, amy, there is some optimism here, good morning. stocks now shattering new records and investors here are optimistic about the president's message, in particular, the tone

he took in that joint session before congress, especially when he had this to say. >> my economic team is developing historic tax reform that will reduce the tax rate on our companies so they can compete and thrive anywhere and with anyone. >> reporter: it's that pro-business message that lowering of taxes that anti-regulatory tone that president trump has taken throughout his campaign and now throughout his presidency that has helped send a number of stocks higher. it also pushed the dow above 21,000 for the first time ever and in particular, we've seen strength among companies like apple, boeing and a number of financials, amy. >> so how does this surge impact average americans and their wallets? >> reporter: that is the question, right? everybody wants to know what this means for them. first off, only about half of americans even have any kind of money in the stock market. for those people with the dow up

15% since election day, the average retirement account has added about $11,000, but for others, the other issue is a matter of the ripple effect. does this ultimately mean more jobs and higher wages? that is the key question for americans out there, because we don't always get that ripple effect and sometimes it can lag, amy. >> all right, rebecca jarvis, thank you so much. we appreciate it. michael. >> we're going to keep our eye on the stock and on the weather. severe weather is moving east after a rough 48 hours in the midwest with at least 27 reported tornadoes. and let's go to ginger zee for the latest. good morning, ginger. >> good morning. you probably heard it blowing when you got up. we have seen 52-mile-per-hour gusts already at laguardia airport slowing them down by almost two-hour delays. look at this video. that is a brush fire from moments ago in philadelphia. that has suspended train traffic in some places. right in indiana this is a picture of the hail so big.

it's been unreal across the united states. look at these storm reports. more than 800 of them. overnight severe winds blasting the southeast. [ sirens ] >> whoa. >> reporter: sirens sounding in nashville. hail pelting the land in alabama ripping the roof from this home in lewis county, kentucky. up to 67 mile per hour gusts taking out this dealership near asheville, north carolina, and in charlotte rescuers searching for animals inside this collapsed barn. in the mid-atlantic, winds up to 78 miles per hour in virginia. trees skewering homes in maryland. downed power lines burning a hole in this street. this is all the same system that killed three people. >> oh, my god. it's on the ground. you can see the damage. >> reporter: 17 confirmed tornadoes, some with winds up to 155 miles per hour. >> that's my home, like now it's gone. >> reporter: in the state of illinois an ef-3 tornado shattering the town of ottawa. and in perryville, missouri, the

national weather service confirming a tornado tore through that town for 13 miles. so, really this is the wind gusts behind the storm we're concerned about. see these advisories that stretch all the way through the appalachians into new england. it is the orange there, that deep orange, that high wind warning where you can see 50 to 60-mile-per-hour gusts today. that could easily take down trees, power lines taking you through time and will stay with us through the day and into the evening. into new england. then we can say goodbye to this storm. amy. now to a shocking corruption scandal in baltimore. seven police officers indicted on federal charges accused of stealing money from innocent people. abc's linsey davis joins us with all of those details. good morning. >> reporter: good morning, amy. we've heard similar story lines before on the big screen and on primetime television but these real-life officers have been charged with abusing their badges and being corrupt to the core, allegations of extortion, falsifying police reports and stealing from citizens.

these seven baltimore city police officers arrested charged with being hard-core criminals. the allegations range from stealing from innocent citizens to robbing drug dealers of cash and guns, some even of selling heroin. >> these defendants allegedly were involved in stopping people who had not committed crimes and seizing their money, not only seizing their money, but pocketing it so these are really simply robberies by people wearing police uniforms. >> reporter: the alleged stealing from city residents was rampant with amounts stolen ranging from $200 to $200,000. prosecutors say the corruption included bogus search warrants, filing false police reports and even putting in for thousands of dollars in overtime while on vacation. >> these officers, they're 1930-style gangsters as far as i'm concerned. >> reporter: authorities say there was a widespread cover-up which involved coaching of each other to give false statements to internal affairs and turning

off body cameras at key moments and sounds like an episode from hbo's "the wire," the long-running police and drug drama that takes place in baltimore. in this episode officers stuffed cash in their bulletproof vests. this morning, the seven officers are charged with racketeering, some of the suspects face up to life in prison. others decades in jail. >> the majority of baltimore city police officers are going to be really pleased today to see these charges brought against people who are accused of betraying their badges, of betraying their trust to the department. >> there was a year-long operation in place to take these officers down. they were even wiretapped by the fbi. the u.s. attorney involved is calling this a major abuse of power. in some cases they would stop an ordinary citizen hadn't been accused of doing anything and steal their money from them. >> so blatant. thanks very much. we'll get the latest from that terror attack at the pulse nightclub in orlando. a judge has decided to grant bail to noor salman, the widow

of the orlando attacker who was arrested for her connection to the attack. abc's linzie janis has the story. >> reporter: she's accused of helping her husband carry out the deadliest mass shooting in modern u.s. history. but this morning, noor salman, the widow of alleged pulse nightclub shooter omar mateen is said to be released from jail on a $500,000 bond. >> we believe it's a just, equitable and appropriate decision. >> reporter: a judge ruling the 31-year-old mother of mateen's 4-year-old son be placed on house arrest while awaiting trial. >> i find that the government has not established by clear and convincing evidence that ms. salman presents a danger to the community. >> reporter: federal magistrate donna ryu casting doubt on the case pointing out the prosecution relies heavily on alleged admissions she made at the end of a 16-hour detention. >> i find that at this time the weight of the evidence is debatable.

>> reporter: salman has pleaded not guilty to charges of aiding and abetting and obstruction of justice. the judge said a psychiatric exam supports the defense's claims that salman had, quote, some cognitive deficits that impair her ability to engage in abstract thinking. the government has 48 hours to appeal that bond ruling. >> let's go back to ginger. >> this is the coldest air we'll see in more than a month. flint and saginaw, michigan, for example, had their warmest february on record. look at the number. by tomorrow, 11 in detroit, feels like, washington, d.c. after 80 degrees yesterday will feel like below freezing. your local weather in 30 seconds.

random act, a very rare random act of violence in this particular area. >> reporter: the intensive care nurse had been out with friends the night before. her sister telling abc news, she'd been having problems with the lock on her door. >> their door had been not closing great or something and she thinks maybe when tiffany came in it was left unlocked and that's how he got in. >> reporter: ferguson's roommate waking up to her screams rushing to her room where she found her friend suffering from multiple stab wounds. rescuers responding to a 911 call at 5:41 a.m. just 20 minutes after that surveillance video was recorded. >> we have recovered a weapon. it remains to be determined whether that was the murder weapon. >> reporter: this morning, ferguson's family remembering her for her dedication to helping others. >> that's the reason she went into nursing. she had a heart for other people. she just wanted to make a change in the world.

>> reporter: ferguson's sister says police have spoken to several people but at this point no one is in custody. amy. >> all right, eva, thank you. abc news consultant and former fbi special agent brad garrett is with us and, brad, police say this appears to be a random act and with that unlocked door does it also appear to be a crime of opportunity? >> i think so. i mean typically people who walk around neighborhoods checking doors, checking car doors, apartments, et cetera are just looking for something to quickly steal. probably have drug issues, et cetera. >> quickly steal so how often does a robbery turn into a murder? >> rarely. he was probably just as surprised as she was but think about who you're dealing with here, amy. somebody that probably has anger management issues anyway, he's confronted by her and so he overreacts. >> all right, well, we know they have this man on surveillance video and also looking for the suspect. they don't know if that guy is their guy but how likely would it be that this man would do it again?

>> well, i think as far as breaking into cars and unlocked doors it's probably going on as we speak because that's how he survives. the idea that somebody else would get killed, you have to look at motive. that's a secondary crime, murder, that wasn't his primary deal going in. >> other than waiting for tips on what he looks like what are police trying to do to catch him? i'm sure neighbors and everyone is on edge. >> homeless shelters, places that homeless people hang out and patrol officers that work that area because these guys tend to go to the same locations down the same streets to break in. >> all right, we certainly hope they catch him soon. brad garrett, thank you so much. >> thank you, brad. coming up that big headline about the biden family. what they're saying about reports that beau's widow is dating her brother-in-law. and big medical news, potential breakthrough for millions suffering from headaches. dr. besser is here with that. millions suffering from headaches. dr. besser is here with that. by? at blue apron, we work directly with more than a hundred family farms.

you to reach out to a friend. that can be the best way to get help. if you're watching someone in distress you can reach out to them directly but report it directly to facebook so they can then put in place some emergency procedures to help and they are making it easier for people to contact crisis support directly through messenger so all about reaching out, intervening and getting help. >> what exactly is the artificial intelligence looking for? >> this is a separate component really cool use of artificial intelligence and try to figure out ways to determine when someone is posting about self-injury or harm so that they can then intervene. >> you may not know the answer. is there a way for facebook to have some kind of a counselor break right in. >> interesting. this has been something they've been debating. an argument a lot of people make why don't you cut the live stream off. then that eliminates the opportunity to get help and looking at better ways to reach out directly when someone is in distress. i'm sure that's something on the radar. >> rich, what is your best piece of advice for someone who knows someone in distress.

>> you have to take it seriously a lot of people worry if they talk about suicide it will cause it. talking about it is the right way to go. you don't want to leave them alone and want professional help. the phone number i just tweeted out to connect them to help right away. >> one of the young girls who recently live streamed her suicide put up a post that said i don't want to live anymore so a lot of cases -- she actually went through with that. in a lot of cases there are very clear signs they want to intervene. >> i like the fact that facebook at least sees it as an issue and trying to find a way -- >> it's really important. >> thank you, both, for that. next up, that potentially major breakthrough for the millions of americans who suffer from migraines. a new study researchers use something called electrostimulation therapy to alleviate intense pain and dr. besser is here to talk about it. how does this work. >> so cool. so the body does amazing things. if you're feeling pain from --

in one part of your body over a long period your brain sends out signals to dampen the sense of that pain so using this conditioned pain mod lace to control it. it is a device that goes on your upper arm and puts out a low level electrical current below the level of pain. that then sends a signal up to your brain that goes up to your brain and your brain says let's not pay attention to the pain in the rest of the body as much. when they tried it 71 people, half of them had the real device and half had a fake device. two-thirds with the real device putting out the signal saw at least a 50% decline in their migraine pain compared to just a quarter of those who had the fake device, so it's really, really interesting. >> very significant. >> migraines can be so debilitating. they need to do more studies and bigger studies but it's promising a nonmedical, nondrug way. >> how do you know the difference between a stress headache and migraine? >> it can be difficult sometimes to sort it out. a classic migraine, you know, it

can last for several hours to several days. it usually is perceived by an aura so a sense of light or sound or vision, visual disturbance. it's on one side of the head instead of both side, nausea and can be sensitive to light. not everyone has classic symptoms but for people who have had migraines they're so common, looking for any new approaches is very, very hopeful. >> interesting. >> thank you, rich. we move on to that new fallout for that big oscar blunder. two accountants at the center of the best picture mix-up have been banned from going back on the red carpet. that was done by sheryl boone isaacs, the president of the film academy and joins by lindsay miller. lindsay, what did them in on top of the mistake with the selfie photo? >> there's new pictures that really don't look good. they show brian cullinan backstage, he's distracted on his phone. he's clearly holding two

envelopes just before sending warren beatty and faye dunaway on stage and also tweeted and later deleted a photo of emma stone backstage. that was at 9:05 three minutes before "la la land" was mistakenly declared the winner. and then to add insult to injury, apparently sources are saying that he was explicitly told no social media during the show. >> ooh. >> that will do it. >> that will do it. >> right. >> lindsay, brian cullinan has been -- they said he's the guy who made the mistake but martha ruiz has been banned too. why did they ban her? >> well, you know, this is the biggest night in hollywood and it's a hugely important relationship for pricewaterhousecoopers, their accounting firm which has been doing it for 83 years so i think they had to hold people accountable and the reason they have two accountants they have a team to prevent mistakes from happening to kind of serve as a stopgap. pricewaterhousecoopers said they didn't follow protocol. they didn't move fast enough to correct the error once it was unfolding, so while they haven't

fired them from the firm, we also have yet to see if the oscars are going to maintain their relationship with pricewaterhousecoopers go that's what i was going to ask. so far price waterhouse still has the contract. >> yes, as far as we know but the academy hasn't said whether they'll continue that. >> there are some other changes being talked about as well. bodyguards being hired? >> yes, so, according to tmz they've actually had to hire bodyguards for both ruiz and cullinan because they have been subject to death threats over this. >> oh, come on. >> social media attacks. i mean you say it's just a movie, it's just the movies but this is a big deal apparently and some people are taking it very, very seriously. >> maybe a little too very, very seriously. >> i would agree with that. >> everybody makes mistakes. >> i mean the threats are -- that's going way, way too far. but it is the most important award on the biggest night in hollywood and they had one job, so i don't think they should be back. >> they can't. they definitely can't come back to the oscars. that's pretty clear. thank you, guys. coming up ginger has the

>> if there is any evidence that anyone affiliated with the trump campaign communicated with the russian government in the course of this campaign, what will you do? >> senator franken, i'm not aware of any of those activities. i have been called a surrogate at a time or two in that campaign and i did not have communications with the russians. and i'm unable to comment on it. >> reporter: those revelations overnight have democrats vigorously attacking the attorney general. sessions met twice with russia's ambassador to the u.s. during the 2016 presidential election season. once in his senate office in september and once following an event with the heritage foundation in july. justice department officials say he met with numerous bads as part of his duties as senator and say his july meeting was a brief encounter with 50 other ambassadors present. his spokesperson said there's nothing misleading about his comments during the hearing but this is far from over.

that's a nice shot of santa cruz. ♪ welcome back to our audience. got a lot to get to this half hour. >> we got a lot to get to. and i have something. couldn't ignore this. had to show it because it is too funny not to mention. check this kid out. you know, he's giving the side-eye when someone tries to take a chip off his plate. look at this little fellow. his name is julian. [ laughter ] >> julian's just not having it. over 17,000 likes on twitter. >> you know, it's pretty relatable because remember in "friends" when joey gets upset when his dates start stealing his fries. take a look at that too. [ laughter ]

you know, i just -- i have a question. [ applause ] how do you feel when people take things off your plate without asking? food? just take it off without >> the first bite is fine. it's the third. >> i'm with you. >> yeah, i mean if they ask, i'm happy to give some to them but i don't like when people reach over. i'm like joey. >> even if andrew does it? >> no, he knows not to do it. he knows. >> did that surprise you? >> you and i are the same. i'm like you. you can ask. but just don't take it. >> i do it to my kids. they get so annoyed. >> the kid food is so easy to do. >> i know. i just love a good nugget. >> if you wanted a nugget, you should have ordered a nugget. >> yes, exactly. >> i got in trouble last weekend. >> andrew always wants what i order more than what he ordered. >> totally. food enjoy. i get food envy all the time. whatever you're having looks better than what i'm having. >> it's like your parents.

you go out to eat and they go, what do you want to eat? well, what are you having, he'll ask my mom. what? why does what i have have an influence on you? >> if you want to share. i get that part. >> dessert is okay. i think you should share dessert. that's the one thing -- >> but you're hard line. >> but everything else, it's mine. >> with amy it's very black and white. i totally understand. i will not touch her bacon. >> if you ask i'll give you some. >> thank you. may i? >> all right. how many of you guys, i'm sure everyone knows what the phrase yolo knows. >> i didn't know that. [ applause ] now i do. >> yeah, you only live once so there is now research to prove that yolo is more than just a saying. it's actually the way we should all be living. there is a new study published in "the journal of positive psychology" that followed two groups. one was told to imagine they had one month before they were moving away from their group of friends and family and the other group was asked to record a normal journal of their usual activities.

the researchers found the moving group had a much better time. they went out and did more. they appreciated the experiences they were having because they were savoring it. i think it makes complete and total sense. >> makes a lot of sense. >> yeah. >> i would imagine you have to train yourself to remember to continue to do that but i think it's great advice. >> anyone who's had any kind of life-threatening illness or life-changing experience where they lost someone they loved or their own lives have been threatened, i think that's when the lightbulb goes off and the key is to keep it on and remember every day is precious and no one is guaranteed tomorrow. >> wasn't it matthew mcconaughey who brought us yolo? >> no, drake. >> oh, it was drake. [ laughter ] >> you said that with such authority. >> every day, every day. yeah, it was drake. it was drake. he wrote a song about it. >> thank you, drake. >> thank you, drake. >> you ready for our next guest? patrick stewart right now, of course, he's the star of "logan" back now. where is he?

[ applause ] because hugh jackman and i were talking about this yesterday. we didn't know when we made that first film, in fact, when we started shooting the first film, there was no hugh jackman. >> right. >> he was cast after we were already under way. and we didn't know that there would be a future for that wonderful marvel comic book and

here we are 17 years later. >> yeah, he was actually telling us -- yeah, amazing. last week his wife actually told him not to take the role. he said he rejected her advice, and you came to the same realization watching this film that this was it. >> well, hugh was on record from -- for quite a while that this would be his last one. for me it happened very much later, in fact, it happened about a week ago at the berlin film festival. i was sitting alongside hugh and the movie was playing so beautifully and we got to the last couple of minutes, which is very intense, very emotional and i suddenly felt hugh had taken my hand, and he was squeezing it and then i saw him just do this and i thought, if hugh jackman can wipe away a tear, i can wipe away a tear. [ applause ] and as the credits rolled, i realized, you know, there is no

better way to say good-bye to this than at this moment with a film like this because it is so beautiful. >> perfect. >> let's take a look at the film. you guys are meeting new friends who aren't aware of your background. >> you are speaking to a man who ran a school for a lot of years, right, charles? >> really? >> yes. there was a -- there was a kind of special needs school. >> uh-huh. yeah, that's a good description. >> he was there too. >> oh, yeah, no, i got kicked out a few times. >> i wish i could say you were a good pupil, but the words would choke me. [ cheers and applause ] >> you can tell you're having fun with that scene. >> will you miss hugh? will you miss working with him or have you thought about a new project for the two of you? >> we have talked about a project, yes, which might be even here in new york. >> nice tease right there. >> in the theater? >> maybe in the neighborhood. >> yes, maybe in the theater.

but i won't miss him because over the 17 years, we have become such dear friends. i love him so much, and so i'll be seeing him a lot. >> oh, very cool. all right. can we ask any specifics? >> about what the project might be? >> correct. >> no. >> okay. >> but maybe when i can tell you you'll be the first to hear. >> great. i hope. >> yeah, we'll take that. we'll take that. thanks. >> you know, "star trek" was a great role. you were great in "star trek." [ cheers and applause ] there's a throwback photo we victims' families you from "star trek" and i heard you almost quit after drama school. >> yes, i -- everyone in my year seemed to get a job, an agent, a manager. i had nothing. i went home, i signed on at the labor exchange, unemployed and for four weeks i had nothing and i thought my career was over. >> after four weeks? >> after four weeks. [ laughter ] >> what were you going to do?

>> well, i would just say -- lived with my parents as i had been living and go back to the job i had been very good at selling furniture. >> really? >> in fact, not too long ago i went back to the shop, and although my manager was now gone, somebody there said, you know, if things don't work out -- [ laughter and applause ] >> always good to have a fallback. >> thank you for coming in. >> my pleasure. patrick stewart, "logan" in theaters tomorrow. coming up here, trish mcevoy is going to make over some is going to make over some audience members. no more. we don't want anymore! is going to make over some audience members. keep calm. the price you see is the price you pay, unlike cable. at&t internet. speeds up to 45megs for $30 a month.

>> we all want to be a level three. it's time and how many products you use. >> let's get to it. speaking of products, selina had a makeup bag you went through and reduced a lot of the contents. >> what i did is i broke it down to only the flawless face and what that means, you need three products. >> how many things did you throw away? >> oh, my goodness. you had a lot of things in that bag. >> i did. >> so the first -- >> she didn't really throw them away. she just put them in another. >> the first thing is get something that really works for you that's going to make a difference. your skin makes a difference, so instead of a foundation, use a bb. what does a bb do? it's your moisturizer, your brightener. >> what does bb stand for again for everybody? >> beauty booster, beauty balm. it has everything in it, primer, color, spf, and it ensures that you're treating your skin during the day. >> and it's just one-stop shopping. >> one step. second step, really brighten under the eye and third step, lip color. >> no eyeliner, no mascara? >> no, no, no, of course. but the --

we are back with the segment michael has been dreading all morning long even though he's a football hall of famer. there are some workouts even he hates. if there's one person who can get him to do the moves, it's his personal trainer, latreal mitchell. come on out, latreal. not only is she a trainer for michael, "entourage's" jerry ferrara and terry crews. you are certainly the lady of the hour. for tonight's finale of "revenge body," you say it's all about changing minds. you got to change his mind. >> yeah, that's the biggest mind to change. mind-set is everything. i think the subconscious conversation that people have with themselves is it's i'm never going to lose weight anyway so i'm this and i'm that. if that conversation is always running in your head you'll never do it so it's changing that conversation and saying, i can do this. i will do this and from that point we move forward. >> all right, we can do this together, michael. we'll do some of michael's least favorite moves and you'll show us. >> you know what, i had somebody say why do you have a female

trainer? i said because men trainer you can become friends with and they let you off. she doesn't want to hear any complaints. >> i love it. i love it. >> she'll kick my butt. >> this is something that folks could be doing at home. >> i chose a couple things to do at home. they're still his -- he hates them. so bulgarian split squat. so, one foot goes up on the chair. >> oh, man. >> if and if you're at home and it's a little -- you can let your foot lay down and rest. back up. when you're doing this exercise it really works your quads, your glutes and also works with stability as well. >> i feel that glute getting tight, right. >> everything flares up on this and switch sides and do the other so we can even it out. three on the other side and always think about that 90-degree angle so come down 90-degree angle and in the front -- >> michael is better at it. >> think about dropping it. straight down to the ground and that's it. >> wow. >> another great move -- >> you can really feel the burn. oh, my gosh. you can really feel that. >> another great move we're going to do is something that

incorporates the core and cardio so, it's going to get your arms, core, cardio, everything going so if you want to start to get those "magic mike" abs, you want to show one of your moves? >> no, i don't. i'm good. >> all right. so you want to go down in the plank position. go down on your forearms. from that the biggest thing i want you to think about drawing your navel to your spine. you should not feel your lower back flaring up. from there you're nice and flat. all you're going to do is open those legs wide and go into that jumping jack, back in and back out. amy, don't let those hips collapse. i want those hips up. >> okay. >> there you go. [ applause ] >> come on, robach. >> there you want to keep it going. [ cheers and applause ]

and drop down, all done. >> how many do i have to do to get his abs. >> you have to do a lot of those to get those abs. >> my favorite part is this part. >> good job. >> and your last favorite, of course, the walkout planks to push-up. >> oh. i love this exercise because it's like a stretch. i didn't even tell you what to do yet. >> i'm like -- >> he already knew. >> here i go. >> the biggest thing i want you to do that walkout. so you're going to walk out as far -- to a nice point. the biggest thing here, back up just a little, amy. think about driving the feet into the floor right into the air, yeah, and that's kind of your position, now walk forward a little bit more and from there going back down to that push-up right back up and then walk it back. so, for michael you'll do a single leg push-up because push-ups are really easy for you. so leg up, down, up and back up.

good. >> so, with this exercise -- >> wow. >> i can see why you hate those. [ cheers and applause ] >> okay. i'm done. >> so with that exercise you're also getting -- you're elongating your back and some have lower back issues so you're getting the stretch and also getting that warm-up from the push-up and working, the chest is working, arms are working. >> i'm out of breath a little bit. >> you know what's great, we don't have to work out for the rest of the day.
