7:01 am
>> well, there were three of us in this marriage so it was a bit crowded. >> and her secret love affair. the phone call the night she died. an exclusive first look at the bombshell new documentary right here on "gma." ♪ i'm on the edge of glory and on the edge of glory, patch, the one-eyed horse, making a run for the roses. the kentucky derby long shot who's sure to be a fan favorite. can he win it all? ♪ the edge the edge the edge happy friday, everybody. of course, the first saturday in may is coming up, and that means the kentucky derby and a lot of excitement for that and these are the horses just moments ago, michael. >> beautiful, beautiful animals. all of us have been fortunate enough to go. and more than 150,000 people are expected at churchill downs tomorrow to watch the big race. and patch, the one-eyed horse, a
7:02 am
30-1 shot to win but maybe it's patch's lucky day. >> only one eye but a lot of heart for that horse patch. we look forward to that tomorrow. a lot of news out of washington this morning. that victory for house republicans and president trump repealing obamacare with one vote to spare. the senate up next. expect big changes that could take some time. the senate did pass the $1 trillion spending bill to keep the government running through september. it's headed to president trump's desk. and new details about president trump's first trip overseas. first stop a surprise. he'll head to saudi arabia, israel, italy and the vatican. that's all later this month. much more on that ahead. but first, we want to get to that big health care news. after the house passed the republican bill, president trump headed here to new york city for an event with the australian prime minister where he celebrated the g.o.p.'s success but also faced a number of protestors. our senior white house correspondent cecilia vega is here with more. good morning, cecilia. >> reporter: hey, robin, great to be here this morning. the protesters were right there to welcome president trump home for this victory tour.
7:03 am
but while he is celebrating his first big legislative win, there is still a long way to go. president trump touching down on his home turf for the first time since taking office. and right there to greet him -- >> all: hey, hey, ho, ho, donald trump has got to go. >> reporter: hundreds of protestors lined manhattan's streets as the president drove by in his motorcade. despite the noise outside, aboard the decommissioned "uss intrepid," the president was ready to celebrate. the first lady there, too, for a black-tie dinner along with australia's prime minister. president trump may be all smiles but he raised some eyebrows when he praised australia's publicly funded universal health care system just hours after declaring obamacare dead. >> we have a failing health care -- i shouldn't say this to our great gentleman and my friend from australia because you have better health care than we do. >> reporter: he's also praising republicans for helping him win his first major legislative victory.
7:04 am
>> republicans came together all of a sudden two days ago, and it was like magic. they just came together. they're very, very united. >> reporter: the president's victory tour starting earlier in the rose garden. >> how am i doing? am i doing okay? i'm president. hey, i'm president. make no mistake, this is a repeal and a replace of obamacare. >> reporter: after weeks of debate and arm-twisting, republicans in the house voted to fulfill their central promise to the american people. >> are we going to be men and women of our word? >> all: yes. >> are we going to keep the promises that we made? >> all: yes. >> reporter: they, too, were met with protests. [ crowd chanting ] >> all: shame on you, shame on you. >> reporter: democrats are also taunting republicans, predicting the bill will cost them in the mid-term elections. ♪ na na na na hey hey hey good-bye ♪ >> reporter: it's still not a done deal. but what this bill would do? end the obamacare mandate that americans have insurance or pay a penalty.
7:05 am
instead of subsidies, the bill gives tax credits to help buy insurance. and it rolls back the obamacare expansion of medicaid. it also lets states waive the requirement that insurers don't discriminate based on pre-existing conditions. and president trump says he's feeling good about the prospect of the senate passing this bill. he is hoping this leads to other legislative victories, next up they're looking at tax reform. >> yeah, hopes this gives them momentum. let's talk about the senate with our congressional correspondent mary bruce. as you see right there it passed the house with just one vote to spare, mary. now they have a lot of challenges ahead, in the senate, beginning with the fact that the senate has to do something that the house didn't do at all. have that congressional budget office analyze the impact of this bill. >> reporter: yeah, george, this is likely to be a long road. but first, the senate needs to know just how the house bill will really impact americans. they can't even begin without that government report explaining how many americans could lose coverage and how much this will cost. that report isn't expected until next week. but even with that, senate
7:06 am
republicans are already telling us they may start from scratch. just take a look at some of the sticking points in the senate for republicans. that medicaid rollback is a big item of concern. even a moderate like susan collins says stripping funding from planned parenthood is an issue for her. and those tax credits, rand paul says that's a no-go for him. clearly, george, there is a lot of work here to do. >> the senate can only afford to lose two votes to get it down to 50 with vice president pence then passing -- sending it along with the tiebreaking vote but in the meantime, this is going to take an awful long time. a few weeks just to get the report from the congressional budget office. several more for deliberations in the senate. >> reporter: absolutely and, remember, any changes that are made in the senate then have to go back to the house to be approved there. and george, as we have seen from the tense debate over the last 106 days, that can be quite difficult. >> okay, mary bruce, thanks very much. let's go over to robin. we'll break down what the current health care bill could mean for you if it becomes law. our chief national correspondent tom llamas is here with two very
7:07 am
different scenarios. i know you have been talking with a lot of experts here. >> we spoke with the kaiser foundation, nonpartisan and nonprofit. they crunched the numbers last night and this morning. let's run through two scenarios. first, one of the possible best case scenarios, all preliminary. first off, a 27-year-old male. he lives in los angeles. he's making about $75,000 a year. he's an entrepreneur and pays for his insurance. under obamacare he was paying $3,000 a year, about $250 a month. now with the new health care bill, the agca, he's going to only pay $760 a year. that's a savings, robin, of more than $2,000 a year. >> big savings in that scenario. so what is the worst case scenario? >> this is sort of the doomsday scenario and we crunched this hard with kaiser to make sure this was legit and it was. a 60-year-old couple live in cherry county, nebraska, retired living off $25,000 a year so money is very tight. they're obviously retired. under obamacare they were spending about $1,050 a year, about $80 a month, a pretty good deal right there. under the new plan, again, all
7:08 am
preliminary, under the ahca they'll pay $44,200 a year, at a loss of more than $43,000, robin. >> you know people will see that and say, come on. >> it is a shocking headline and we went back to kaiser and they said there's a couple of reasons for this. the first is that older people are going to be charged more for insurance in some cases. the other reasons? this is cherry county, nebraska, this is very, very rural. but the big point right here is the tax credit, the new tax credit is smaller. >> all right. and people can go on and they can find out -- put in their situation -- >> on our website, go to our website, "gma" and get more information. >> thank you, tom. george. >> let's talk about the political fallout with matthew dowd and he's joined us from miami. a real split screen yesterday after that vote. you had president trump and the republicans there, they were celebrating at the white house. you had the democrats cheering on the floor of the house after losing the votes saying republicans are going to pay. how do you assess the political fallout? >> well, i actually thought it was somewhat unseemly on both
7:09 am
sides in the middle of this. you all mentioned the kentucky derby. it seems both sides are in the first turn and they're already drinking mint juleps thinking it's the end of this thing. we have much more to go on the political side of this. i think right now this is a huge negative for the republican party. but it's a year and a half from election day. we don't know what's going to happen in the senate in this. but as of today, it's an anchor for republican candidates. >> yeah, because this bill passed through the house yesterday. as we said with one vote to spare even though right now it polls in a very negative way. a lot of republicans under fire for this. you had even some house republicans yesterday saying, yeah, we voted for this bill. we don't think it's very good. >> george, the amazing thing is is that donald trump and the gop have managed to do something president obama couldn't do which is make obamacare popular. obamacare today is popular by a majority of the vote today. and i think when you look at the process of this, the fact that they didn't present the bill early enough for people to read, they didn't do a cbo score on it. they rushed it through.
7:10 am
all of the process as well tom talked about the substance is going to cause a huge political problem. we don't know what the senate is going to do. but this is an anchor. regardless of what the senate does democrats will hang it on republicans in the fall of 2018. >> what's the best case for president trump at this point right now? does he need to sign this into law or did he just need that early victory in the house to give him momentum? >> well, i think he needed an early victory to demonstrate he can actually get something passed because he hasn't done anything major in the house of representatives or the senate yet. he needed that. but in the end that's going to fade away. i actually think he needs to put together a series of victories on a lot of different things and maybe they think it will break through that dam and they can do a lot of other things they want to do. but right now i don't think this is going to benefit donald trump much in the long term. >> lots's more analysis sunday morning on "this week." i'll see you then. matthew dowd, thanks very much. michael? dangerous storms hitting the southeast. a possible twister damaging
7:11 am
homes and businesses overnight in georgia and now more severe weather is moving in. and rob marciano, you have it all. what's going on? >> hey, michael. it's been rough the past few days. but past few hours starting to ramp up. this video out of eden, north carolina, just north of greensboro, the last couple of hours severe weather rolling through there. possible tornado tearing up an auto parts store there and downstream from it garden city, georgia, this just outside of savannah yesterday afternoon. this likely a tornado that they'll survey later on today. and in atlanta, georgia, look at this shot. that a funnel cloud. not sure if it touched down at the atlanta airport, the delta plains right there and there was damage done at a cargo facility so a lot of rough weather heading up towards the northeast. a large sprawling storm and now a tornado watch that's been extended through north carolina and through the norfolk, virginia, area getting into southern maryland, as well, as this thing swirls back. the center of the low still back near the flood zone across memphis, tennessee, by 1:30 we get into some heavy rain. nasty day from new york city to boston. and in it, some shower activity. one to two, two to three in some spots.
7:12 am
talk more about that river flooding in just a bit. >> headed our way, thank you, rob. overseas to the high stakes presidential election in france this weekend. voters will choose between a conservative nationalist and a young centrist who just got a big endorsement from former president barack obama. our chief foreign correspondent terry moran is tracking that race. good morning, terry. >> reporter: good morning, robin. the french election is big news around the world. not just because france is an important country but because it's the next chapter in that big debate we're all having, nationalism versus globalization, anti-immigration versus pro-immigration. and in this highly unusual move by a former president, barack obama is weighing in. >> i am supporting emmanuel macron to lead you forward. >> reporter: french presidential hopeful emmanuel macron getting a very big endorsement from former u.s. president barack obama. >> he appeals to people's hopes and not their fears. >> reporter: a high-stakes election in france set for sunday has gotten the world's attention. populist marine le pen, an admirer of president trump is the anti-european union,
7:13 am
anti-immigrant and anti-islam candidate. emmanuel macron's platform, pro-eu, pro-trade, and more tolerant. the obama endorsement, an attempt by macron to tap into the former president's strong support among the french. right now macron's got the upper hand, a double-digit lead in the polls. he's just 39, a novice and he brings with him a unique personal story. his closest collaborator, his wife, brigitte. she is 25 years older than he. they met when he was 15 and she was his drama teacher, and married, with three children, one a classmate of macron's. his parents forcibly separated them for years, but their love would not be denied, and they married years later in 2007 after she divorced her husband. she is constantly by his side advising on policy, editing his speeches. and the french, whose presidents often have colorful private lives, have warmly accepted the couple. and she calls herself the president of his fan club.
7:14 am
the key question on sunday is turnout. le pen is deeply unpopular among many people. and so is macron. so there may be a lot of people saying home. that can help marine le pen. she could be the first far right candidate to get this far. right now, macron is well ahead. robin? >> all right. terry, thanks so much. now we're going to go to that delta flight incident that is parking a major backlash. we showed you that family of four kicked off the plane and threatened with jail because they didn't want to give up their baby's seat. delta is apologizing. rebecca jarvis is here this morning. another airline apology. >> another airline apology, michael, good morning. this shows you just how quickly these situations escalate, how quickly they go from being a small issue on the plane to a family getting kicked off the plane. and this morning, delta airlines is apologizing. >> i bought that seat. >> reporter: overnight, delta issuing an apology after
7:15 am
removing a california family that refused to give up their 2-year-old's seat on an overbooked flight. >> this is going to be a federal offense and then you and your wife will be in jail and your kids will be in foster care. >> reporter: delta airlines saying we are sorry for the unfortunate experience our customers had with delta and we've reached out to them to refund their travel and provide additional compensation. delta's goal is to always work with customers in an attempt to find solutions to their travel issues. that did not happen in this case, and we apologize. brian schear and his family were just trying to get home from a family vacation in hawaii when the attendant suggested the little boy sit on his parent's lap for the duration of the flight. the schears refused and were asked to deplane. >> what are we supposed to do, sleep in the airport? no, no. you should have thought about it before the point where you oversold the flight. >> reporter: this is the latest confrontation between airline passengers and crew. in this video obtained by tmz a delta pilot appears to hit a
7:16 am
female passenger while deplaning in atlanta on friday. tensions at an all-time high the past month, at least four other caught-on-camera altercations including this now-infamous video showing dr. david dao being dragged off a united flight in chicago in early april. now, congress intervening looking at several bills aimed at overhauling current airline policies, hoping no family has to go through this. and the changes are coming since that incident on united. the airline has implemented ten new policy changes including they will no longer ask seated customers to give up their seats unless safety and security are a risk. guys, southwest is also implementing changes in the wake of all of this. they're not overbooking their flights anymore. jetblue says they never overbooked. they're never going to overbook in the future. but changes are very likely coming to a lot of these airlines. and congress says if they don't make the changes, they'll force them on the company. >> this is all happening so rapidly. and you called this yesterday when we did the story. you said delta was going to come up really big.
7:17 am
>> all right, thank you, rebecca. >> thanks, michael. now, amy, you joined us with the morning's other top stories. good morning. good morning, everyone. we begin with breaking news. a ups cargo plane veered off the runway at the airport in charleston, west virginia. killing two people on board. you can see emergency vehicles right there at the scene. the plane slid over a hillside. it's unclear if the rain earlier today played a role. also breaking at this hour, an american has killed in action in somalia during a battle with al shabaab. two others were wounded during a raid in the northern part of that country. u.s. troops have been on a mission to advise and assist smoely forces fighting al shabaab, an al qaeda affiliate. the raid was not part of expanded operations recently approved by president trump. and 37 people have now died in a violent anti-government protest in venezuela where the president plans to rewrite the constitution. tanks plowed through the crowd as police fired tear gas. 8 latin american countries have
7:18 am
denounced the excessive force. and some terrifying moments caught on camera as a skydiver's parachute got tangled beneath this skydiving plane. it happened in denmark. his foot got caught leaving him dangling for nearly an hour as crews on the ground -- this is incredible -- sprayed foam to cushion his landing. the pilot eventually landed at the slowest possible speed dragging him on a grass field and remarkably he was not injured. finally today is college signing day. it is a day celebrating students who commit to higher education. all part of a social media campaign encouraged by -- there you see her -- michelle obama encouraging teens to post pictures of their college choices using the hashtag collegesigningday and the hashtag bettermakeroom. a new generation making an impact on the world. the fourth year she hosted and robin, you'll be joining her. >> many will. it's like a pep rally for these students and wearing our university t-shirts and sweatshirts so lion up, southeastern.

for severe weather this morning after dangerous storms moved in overnight damaging homes and stores in georgia and north carolina. and now a new tornado watch has been extended from north carolina to virginia. now in this first half hour we'll look at the new documentary tracing princess diana's last 100 days. the 20th anniversary of her death approaches, abc is airing a two-hour special on sunday focusing on the last two months of her life in what she hoped would be a summer of love. and amy, you have more details. >> that's right, robin. it is a remarkable new documentary and it takes us into princess days, counting them down, retracing her steps, and revealing a secret love affair. it's the fairytale story we thought we knew. a young girl who dreamed of marrying a prince. >> i'm amazed that she's been brave enough to take me on. >> and i suppose in love. >> of course. >> whatever "in love" means. >> reporter: and did. >> they couldn't keep their
7:32 am
hands off each other initially. he would sort of squeeze her bottom in public which is very unregal, but he did. >> reporter: but then the betrayal with camilla parker bowles beginning, it seemed, even as diana and charles took their wedding vows. camilla present against diana's expressed wishes. >> did you try to be faithful and honorable to your wife when you took on the vow of marriage? >> yes. absolutely. >> reporter: trapped in an unhappy situation here's how the princess described it in a bombshell interview with journalist martin bashir, the only time she ever talked about it on the record. >> do you think mrs. parker bowles was a factor in the breakdown of your marriage? >> well, there were three of us in this marriage. so it was a bit crowded. >> reporter: the princess struggled to cope, seeking love in all the wrong places. finding the one man she could not have. >> diana fell in love with hasnat khan when she went to visit a friend in the hospital, and there he was, the doctor. >> reporter: a pakistani-born
7:33 am
heart surgeon shy of the spotlight. diana smitten. >> hasnat khan virtually moved into kensington palace. >> she was truly taken with someone so pure of purpose. he was healing people. he wasn't remotely interested in her fame. >> does the world realize that her romance with dodi al fayed was only 30 days from beginning to end? not two years as was the one with hasnat. hasnat khan was the love of her life. >> reporter: but in those last 100 days, their passionate romance coming apart. >> hasnat said to me, i don't want to be known as just mr. diana. i want my world, i want to be a surgeon. >> reporter: the princess heartbroken, eventually moving on with the playboy son of millionaire egyptian businessman dodi al fayed. but on the night she died, a phone call. >> well, it's tragic to think
7:34 am
that on that last night, that hasnat khan was trying to reach her on the phone. >> he said to me, maybe later in the summer, we would have gotten back together again. >> reporter: of course, we know diana never got that fairy tale ending. her life ending with that car crash in the paris tunnel being chased by the paparazzi. robin. >> now the man behind that documentary, martin bashir, is here. always good to see you. >> lovely to see you, robin. >> so it's focusing on the last 100 days and the man that she called mr. wonderful. what was so significant about that man in this time in her life? >> well, there's been so much speculation, conjecture, conspiracy theories about what happened. and what we have done is we almost put together a forensic account, distinctive account of those last 10 days. and we have spoken to people that worked for her, friends. some appear on camera. others don't. but we've constructed the timeline in the most detailed fashion. and beneath that narrative is the emotional tension that she's feeling between these two men. she's pursuing one man that
7:35 am
won't commit to her and she's being pursued by another about whom she's conflicted. and the tension of that relationship spreads right the way through those last 100 days. >> we're coming up on 20 years since her death. and martin, you know, there's still such fascination with diana. >> it's incredible. when she was married in 1981, something like 200 million people watched the wedding ceremony at st. paul's cathedral. fast forward to her death, the funeral service was estimated to have been seen by 2 billion people. she had risen stratospherically not just as an ico but also as someone who combined two contradictory elements. on the one hand, she was this incredible insider. she was at the center of the royal family. she was married to the heir to the throne and gave birth to the next in line. and yet she was also an outsider. in the sense that you'll never forget her holding a baby with leprosy in india or embracing someone who was hiv positive.
7:36 am
and that a connection with the public meant that all of us felt, as prime minister tony blair said, that she was the people's princess. >> and we'll also never forget the interview that you did with her. what do you remember best about that? >> i think what i remember best is that here was an individual who seemed to combine everything about humanity, capable of the greatest acts of kindness and also capable of the greatest mistakes imaginable. and she combined that humanity in a way that was remarkable given the fact that she was a royal princess. she wasn't like you and i. she was an aristocrat. she was born into that family yet she was accessible to so many people. and think that would be the thought -- also, think when you think about her boys, last month, they have committed to a charity serving people with mental health. they have become almost the incarnation of their mother and
7:37 am
the saddest thing of all i think is that she isn't here because i imagine she would be so proud of them. >> oh, i know that she would be. and i've spent time especially with harry last year, yes, and you're right. they're such a reflection of their mother and to see how they have grown into such strong young men living as they are. >> yeah. >> all right, martin, thanks so much. >> thank you. i also wanted to say how glad i am that you're so well. my family and i have been rooting for you and you've been in our prayers so we're so glad. >> thank you, thank you, thank you. i've felt the love from across the pond. thank you. you can see "the last 100 days of diana" sunday at 9:00 p.m. right here on abc. thank you again, martin. >> thank you. >> george? >> thank you, robin. still ahead the one-eyed horse trying to make kentucky derby history. this weekend. you see patch right there. and in two minutes, the investigation into the shocking treatment of high school students caught on tape. caught on tape.

7:41 am
alleged altercation with a teacher when the same school resource officer put the teen in a chokehold before slamming him to the ground. williams says the man holding him down while the officer appears to use a taser on him is the school principal, kevin murray. >> the student's being disorderly. he's attempting to place him under arrest. but the student is resisting. principal murray comes to assist. >> i want them removed from any area where there's children around. >> reporter: the principal was also allegedly recorded by a student who was in his office after reportedly calling a teacher an expletive. >> did you call me a [ bleep ]? i'm going to punch you in the face, man to man, bro. i don't give a [ bleep ] if you're 14 years old or not. i will punch you in your face. >> principal murray could have been overzealous at that juncture. but, he was doing it to explain to the child that, in fact, those words should not be spoken to persons. >> reporter: the principal was put on administrative leave
7:42 am
during an investigation by the school district and reinstated earlier this year. the attorney for the three students say they now plan to file civil rights complaints against the officer, principal, school district, and school board for these incidents that they say expose a culture of abuse. >> what we'd also like to see is training be implemented at this school so that the culture of violence that is taking place at woodland hills comes to an end. >> reporter: the d.a.'s office says an investigation is ongoing. the woodland hills school district released a statement to abc news saying, after reviewing the video, we do not want this officer back on campus. officer shaulis is still on active duty but no longer working at the school. we reached out to the churchill police department for comment but they have not responded. george. >> okay, linsey, thanks. lots of litigation ahead. >> yep. and coming up on our buying board, that's ahead, too. it's derby time. we're counting down to the biggest day in horse racing. can patch, the one-eyed long shot make history at churchill

rob was doing in the studio. >> feeding the family. >> feeding the family. back now with our big board. let's start with the video that's raising an important question. should college coaches be held accountable for their players' off-field behavior? this video shows a tampa judge blasting south florida's new head football coach charlie strong during a bond hearing for one of his players charged with sexual battery. here's a look. >> coach strong, if you are listening, in the last couple of months there have been two arrests of your players, very violent felonies. i would implore you to think long and hard about whether being head coach at usf is a good fit for you before any other members of this community have to suffer at the hands of one of your players. >> espn's jeremy schaap joins us now and, jeremy, first of all, and not trying to defend any
7:46 am
type of situation here, what the player did or is alleged of doing is horrible. coach strong has only been there since december, it's not a player he has recruited or a program he knows but still that being said, the words from the judge are really being felt. >> yeah, very harsh words. this video went viral the other day, because of what the judge had to say. and the fact, as you mentioned, robin, that charlie strong's only been there a few months and he has a reputation as a disciplinarian from his time at texas and louisville. we should note as well that the judge, in her statement, said she is now ashamed of her diploma from usf where she graduated a number of years ago, so, you know, this one is multifaceted. you've got a judge who's an alumnus from the school where the player plays. you've got a coach who just got there, who, as you said, didn't recruit these guys. the question, what responsibility he has for the actions, not only of this player but of another player arrested
7:47 am
at the end of march in a violent incident, a road rage incident. those are questions that everybody is asking. >> and the judge has recused herself from the case. >> yes. and think you make a very valid point, robin. but, jeremy, whenever these coaches take on these kids, when they recruit these kids, they become the parents of these kids. so do you think there is a responsibility for coaches who are at these programs who bring these players in to be accountable and held accountable for their off-field actions? >> well, in general michael, i think there is such a responsibility. and most coaches recognize that. it is different from the head of the literature department. he doesn't have to have or she feel the same amount of responsibility for a student who's majoring in that field of study. but coaches recruit these kids. they bring them to campus. you know, it's kind of in loco
7:48 am
parentis situation. they are acting as their parents at the school. but we've seen this, this is an old story. this isn't a new story, michael. you remember, tom osborne at nebraska. we've got art briles more recently at baylor, barry switzer at oklahoma in the late '80s, all coaches who got into trouble for the behavior of their players. >> all right, jeremy schaap, thank you so much, man. we'll keep our eye on that story. next up, it's time to dust off that fancy hat and mix up a mint julep. the kentucky derby is almost here. and when the starting gate flies open saturday, everyone's going to be buzzing about patch, the one-eyed long shot who's become this year's fan favorite. espn's jeannine edwards joins us from churchill downs and, jeannine, everybody loves the underdog. tell us about this horse patch that everybody is falling in love with. >> yeah, they have fallen in love with patch and you know he's one of many stories in this year's kentucky derby. this guy, girvin is another one that we'll get to in a minute. but patch is just a lovable underdog and an underdog with a disability.
7:49 am
but he doesn't let that disability keep him on the sidelines. patch actually lost his left eye less than a year ago to inflammation. the vets tried to salvage it. they could not. so he only has one eye. peripheral vision is very important to horses so they can see all the way around them, so he basically can only see half his world. now, three prior horses with one eye have raced in the kentucky derby. >> that's right. >> none have won. patch is looking to be the first. it would be quite an upset indeed. >> tell us about the horse behind you right now, jeannine. >> girvin is an interesting horse. he's worked up quite an appetite as you can see because he's been doing a little cross-training, guys. he had a foot issue about ten days ago. he developed a crack in his foot. kind of like an ingrown toenail. very, very, very painful so they couldn't train him on the racetrack. so what his trainer, joe sharp did was pulled out all the stops and took him in a swimming pool.
7:50 am
they had him swimming. he went in ice cold whirlpool tubs. he went in hyperbaric chambers. he's done everything and he's back on track now and ready to go. >> the most important question, do you have your hat ready for saturday? you've got your hat ready, right, jeannine? all set to go? >> yeah, and i'm going to need it because it's raining and other than a mint julep i'll need hot tea. it's 50 degrees. >> you got it. thanks so much. >> coming up we've got the big finale of our "deals & steals on wheels" we're rolling into dallas with bargains starting at just $10. come on back. come on back. coming up "gma's" "deals & steals on wheels" presented by vistaprint. vistaprint.

8:32 am
made the whole house smell. we replaced it here obviously with a big, bold statement piece. this is a limestone, francois, sounds fancy but more stonework around there and not only did that make this long but you need that statement so that's one of the big things we did. >> you know what, you've got the seal of approval from lara spencer. she's been nodding along. that's huge when -- >> ging, major thumbs up. giant transformation. >> i can't hear you guys but i'll go ahead and imagine that we're going to talk about my next project because the project that i'm so proud of is the one i just got done finishing, my back is still aching. i was working on it last night. we had a bunch of fallen trees around our property from sandy, actually so there's a weather connection and those trees, you know i love to reuse things, i chain saw cut them up into six-inch rounds and treated them with something called pentacil and put them in a past. so you put stone or sand down. you can see i'm still working on it. that's the halfway but you can see it from above and used our drone shot. mulch on the top that gives you a natural reused look. >> i love that. ginger, that is a great idea.
