d and hd 5 good morning, ame. breaking news, the new threat from north korea. kim jong-un warns the u.s. this morning his missiles could strike our mainland and carry nuclear warheads. as he celebrates a successful test launch and promises more on the way. breaking news, as millions return to work this morning, fears the worst is yet to come from that massive global cyberattack. targeting hospitals, train stations and hundreds of thousands of computers. the race to stop a second wave. president trump ordering an emergency meeting. now his homeland security adviser joins us only on "gma." new details about that alcohol-fueled hazing tragedy that left a penn state sophomore dead. now his family is here speaking out this morning. their message for the 18 students charged and how they are now taking on the school. ♪

and -- >> district of columbia. >> the immigrant scientist taking the coveted miss usa crown overnight. being called one of the most intelligent contestants ever, inspiring girls around the world. but backlash growing this morning. why her answers are sparking a social media firestorm. good morning, america. hope everybody had a wonderful mother's day weekend. a bit of a reaction overnight to the new miss usa born in italy, grew up in virginia. >> and this is the second year she represented d.c. and second year they won that title. she has a community outreach program called science exploration for kids and wants to inspire girls in careers, but it wouldn't be miss usa without some controversy, you guys. we have more on that coming up

in the show. >> she is setting a good example as you said. two big breaking stories. the latest on that massive cyberattack but first breaking new details about that north korean missile launch. new photos show kim jong-un celebrating the test as north korea claims their rocket could carry a nuclear warhead. our chief global affairs anchor martha raddatz starts us off. good morning. >> reporter: good morning, george. u.s. officials say they have no information right now to verify the claim the missile could carry a nuclear weapon, but make no mistake. this missile launch was significant and showed real progress. this is the first successful test of this type of missile. experts believe this was a medium-range ballistic missile which means u.s. bases in the pacific could potentially be targeted. the missile was launched from the western part of north korea and traveled more than 400 miles at an altitude of more than 1,200 miles landing in the sea of japan about 60 miles from russia. the launch has been widely criticized.

the white house saying north korea has been a flagrant menace for far too long and calling on other nations to implement far stronger sanctions against north korea. there have been seven missiles tested since donald trump took office, and kim shows no sign of stopping. this is also the first test since south korea elected a president who favors dialogue with the north. george. >> continuing to pressure. martha raddatz, thanks very much. george, now to that massive global cyberattack and fears it could spread this morning as millions return to work. now, here's what we know. more than 200,000 computers have been hit across 150 countries targeting hospitals, schools, offices and train stations. the largest u.s. target was fedex. the attackers are demanding a ransom of $300 to $600. our chief investigative correspondent brian ross is here with more details. good morning, brian. >> reporter: good morning. the fbi and law enforcement around the world on high alert this morning concerned the attackers will launch a second

wave and the computers already infected over the weekend will only be detected this morning when they're turned on. officials tracking the attack say it is the biggest of its kind in the history of the internet. >> the latest numbers are over 200,000 victims in 150 countries. >> reporter: with great concern the worst may be yet to come this morning. >> is this just the beginning? >> that's the concern that monday when everyone returns to the office, that this ransomware attack will be even larger. >> reporter: the attack spread at a speed never seen before across six continents with an ominous message suddenly showing up on the targeted computers. oops, your files have been encrypted, and a demand of between $300 and $400 in ransom to free what are essentially the kidnapped locked up computers. although officials say few have paid the ransom so far. >> there's been a remarkably low level of ransoms that have been paid. i think 20,000, 30,000 worth of dollars only.

>> reporter: it all could have been much worse but for the efforts of this computer security program in indiana. darien huss discovered there might be a kill switch. >> once the kill switch was activated the malware would simply do nothing. it would not carry out its infection. >> reporter: huss' information was then used by a 22-year-old programmer in great britain who talked by phone with abc news fearful to show his face. >> i was panicking looking through the code, and i realized that actually, no. we had stopped it. >> reporter: the biggest target in the u.s. was fedex shipping service. elsewhere around the world, factories, hospitals, even police departments were all hit. and this morning, they're trying to decide whether or not to pay up. ironically, the hackers used the same tools originally developed by the u.s. intelligence to hack into foreign adversaries that got leaked last month and now the crooks are using the tools against us.

best advise this morning is for anyone using microsoft to install all the upgrades the company offers which does provide a patch or a fix for this. george. >> okay, brian, thanks. trump administration security officials held emergency meetings all through the weekend in the white house situation room assessing the cybersecurity threat, and it's led by white house homeland security adviser thomas bossert. who joins us now. thanks for joining us. what is the latest on the state of attack? how worried should everyone in washington be as they head to work. >> good morning. i think people heading to work this morning should be thinking about this as an attack that for right now we've got under told. but as an attack that represents an extremely serious threat, not just criminal threat but as this criminal threat has turned into something that has affected hospitals in the united kingdom and elsewhere. something that might morph into a more difficult and threatening manner so i think -- >> excuse me, spreading through asia overnight, you don't expect it to spread to the united states today? >> so as that malware attack manifested initially, it was an

attack we had a patch for and kudos to microsoft for having released it in march of this year and for having worked with us since 2014 to develop that process, however, that patch is not installed in all places as we've seen, so to those who have not patched to those who have not updated software it's imperative you do so to get through this and continue to get through it as the inevitable morphing and variance of this attack will change over the week. >> you mentioned microsoft. the president of microsoft brad smith is calling this a wake-up call and blaming a hacking tool stolen from the national security agency. is he right? >> he is absolutely right that this is an urgent call for collective action. we need people at every level to engage in network hygiene which is not necessarily the nicest thing to always talk about and we also need government action, collective action abroad and with the united states to address this type of attack. >> he's also saying these

national security -- these tools that the governments create, these vulnerabilities they create are part of the problem. >> yeah, well, i think regardless of the providence of the exploit here used in the vulnerability, what's culpable and who is culpable are the criminals that distributed it, and criminals that weaponized it, added additional details to it and turned this into something that is holding ransom data but putting at risk lives and hospitals. >> you're saying criminals. what more do we know about what was behind this attack and have we ruled out this is a state action? >> we've not ruled that out but attribution is always a little difficult here. one reason i suggest criminality we're seeing an attempt to hold this for ransom. that suggests an intent to try to develop money. that could be something that we change in our philosophy over the weeks. >> what do you say to a hospital who gets a ransomware in a situation like this? should they pay for it? >> the u.s. government doesn't make a recommendation on paying ransom. i would provide a strong caution.

you're dealing with people who are not scrupulous so making a payment does not mean you'll get your data back. >> finally, what's the most important thing we can do to protect ourselves? >> today you need to install your patches and enable automated patching on your systems and networks and you need to update your software and then, george, secondly, i would say we're not yet out of the woods. we have an additional concern that copycats as we've seen in the past, will provide variance to this tool, and continue to come after us. >> thomas, thanks for your time this morning. >> thank you, george. >> caution but encouraging news they think they have the initial attack under control. >> don't know. monday morning, a lot will be logging on for the first time. it will be a busy week for the trump administration. the court of appeals will take up the president's travel ban today, reviewing a judge's decision to block it back in march. president trump is meeting with the crown prince of abu dhabi ahead of his first foreign trip as president. on friday, he'll go to saudi arabia, sears israel and the vatican. before his trip, the president is hoping to announce a

permanent replacement for fired fbi director james comey. for more on that we go to our senior white house correspondent cecilia vega who is there in washington. good morning, cecilia. >> reporter: robin, good morning to you. a busy week here is right and this morning, there seems to be agreement on one thing from both sides of the aisle. both republicans and democrats say that if the president secretly recorded his conversations with james comey, he needs to hand over those tapes. with controversy still swirling over president trump's surprise firing of fbi director james comey, the president himself says he is shocked by the fallout. >> i thought that this would be a very popular thing that i did when i terminated comey because all of the democrats couldn't stand him. but because i terminated him they said, ah, we get some political points. we'll go against trump. >> reporter: the reaction has not reporter: the reaction has not let up. from the senate's top democrat -- >> there is a need to get to the bottom of this. there's a crisis of credibility with the president.

>> reporter: to those in his own party. >> i would advise the president not to tweet or comment about the investigation as we go forward. the russians did interfere in our election. >> reporter: the president's tweet suggesting he may have taped conversations with comey also garnering reaction from both republicans and democrats. >> if, in fact, there are such recordings, i think those recordings will be subpoenaed and i think they'll probably have to turn them over. >> we have to make sure they if they exist, the tapes don't disappear. >> reporter: president trump insists the investigation into russian interference in the election will continue. >> i want to get to the bottom if russia or anybody else is trying to tamper or play with our election. i don't want it ever to be even a question again. so if it takes longer, let it take longer. >> reporter: and "snl" not letting up either with melissa mccarthy back as spicy. >> yeah, were you surprised that he fired comey before he fired you? >> oh, god.

>> reporter: "snl" is definitely not letting up. in that fox interview the president was asked directly about his suggestion that there could be secret recordings. he would not talk about it. there are also this morning growing calls from democrats for a special prosecutor, robin. the white house says that's not necessary. >> all right, cecilia, thank you. let's go to our senior justice correspondent pierre thomas with a look at the short list of candidates who could replace comey. good morning, pierre. what are you hearing? >> reporter: robin, good morning. on saturday, we saw a parade of candidates to potentially replace former director comey. it was a group that included two sitting judges, a u.s. senator john cornyn of texas and former congressman mike rogers who happens to be a one-time fbi agent and who received the endorsement of the fbi association. they clearly want one of their own. the candidates also include two active fbi executives and two women who are former federal prosecutors, fran townsend was george w. bush's homeland

security adviser and alice fisher was an attorney in the criminal division of the justice department. >> are these all the candidates? are there more? >> we're expecting more to be interviewed. they include former deputy attorney general larry thompson, former new york city police commissioner ray kelly and sitting south carolina congressman trey gowdy. >> pierre, thanks so much. we'll talk about it more with dan abrams and jon karl and let's begin, dan, with this firing of james comey, the implicit threat from president trump there saying he might have tapes on comey. you've got top law professors like laurence tribe saying this is an impeachable offense. possible objection of justice. >> first for obstruction of justice you have to demonstrate the person had the intent to obstruct justice and to determine that, you need an investigation, and ultimately, people willing to prosecute. people forget impeachment is a political act. it's not a legal act. you need the political will, to even investigate this, much less prosecute it and potentially convict. we're not there.

the bottom line is people will say, but, wait a second, look at what's happened. look at what's happened and the response has got to be you still need someone, even if you believe that it's improper, even if someone believes it's obstruction, you need to be able to prove it in some way, shape or form. you feed to be able to prove intent and i don't think we're there. >> piece of evidence could be these tapes if they exist. >> well, that's right. but keep in mind. first of ail, it's legal to tape in washington, d.c. >> one party concept. >> florida, mar-a-lago might be a different story. but, you know, look, if these tapes exist, could that be possible evidence? yeah, but i think we're ahead of ourselves here. i think there are people out there who are hoping that these tapes may be able to show something that we don't know that exists on those tapes. >> and jon karl, top democrat on the senate intelligence committee mark warner says they want to see the tapes, congress wants to see the tapes again if they exist. talking to white house officials, i talked to one who

said i don't even want to know whether they exist or not. >> reporter: well, i'll tell you. a number of people close to donald trump who speak with him frequently, believe that their conversations are being recorded. but nobody here that i've spoken to really knows, congress is going to want to get to the bottom of it. we do know donald trump in the past in his trump tower days did at least from time to time tape his conversations. >> "the wall street journal" talking to three of his former executives on that. meanwhile on the search for a new fbi director, the president says he wants to try to get this done before he leaves on the big foreign trip on friday. we saw the people that have been interviewed with pierre thomas, but you said there's some speculation about names not on the list. >> reporter: it's incredible. 11 people that pierre thomas went through they're talking to. i believe it's quite possible it's somebody beyond the list. one intriguing possibility the former fbi director robert mueller. he spent 12 years as director and would be a pretty much a slam dunk for senate confirmation.

>> jon karl, thanks very much. dan abrams, thank you. now to amy. she has today's other top stories, starting with a protest in virginia? >> that's right, george. the mayor of charlottesville, virginia, calling demonstrations protesting the removal of a confederate statue horrific. the protesters led by white nationalist richard spencer held torches and shouted "you will not replace us." a scene critics say was reminiscent of the kkk. counterprotesters held a rally calling for equality and tolerance. well, united airlines is not commenting on how some closely guarded security information was inadvertently made public. the carrier's cockpit door access codes were reportedly posted online by a flight attendant. the airline says other security measures were in place to protect the cockpit. one of hollywood's best known bad guys has died. powers boothe played villains in several films, including "tombstone," and "the avengers," also

it's who he was. always laughing, always smiling, just the nicest guy. >> what do you want people to know about your son? >> oh, he was great. he was an amazing guy. he was so funny, smart, the first one to be there for somebody, he was everybody's friend. best friend. >> and, jim, i know it's hard to come out on a day like this but talk about the action you're taking right now. your attorneys talked about filing a wrongful death lawsuit against the fraternity, the university, the members. who bears the most responsibility. >> i think the individuals involved clearly bear the most responsibility. if you read the time line of what happened, they set out to feed these guys lethal amounts of alcohol from the outset. there was intent right from the beginning. >> sounds like alcohol poisoning. >> right from the outset. they intended to bring these gentlemen to alcohol poisoning levels right from the outset so at the end of the day this was planned and orchestrated and i think they all need to be held accountable.

>> and you can't believe as you read that time line the hours that went by, hour after hour after hour with nobody taking action and, mike, i understand that you had actually warned tim about joining a frat. >> i had advised him to just be cautious. i knew that it's something that i necessarily didn't feel that i fit in with so i was concerned that maybe he wouldn't really find his place there. so i just advised him to keep his wits about him but do what he felt comfortable with. >> and, evelyn, as i said, you read through those hours that went by with people not taking action. how do you think young men, kids, you know, you assume they came to school. they're good kids. how do you think they get caught up in a situation where they can ignore something like that? >> i don't know. i don't know where their conscience was, where the voice in the back of their head was saying he's hurt, i got to do the right thing. i don't understand how they

could be so heartless and inhumane. >> and we've seen this, you know, problems like this across the country, not as horrific as this but this is something about the culture in frats in universities everywhere. >> yeah, well, first of all we need to have a statement be made with this -- with these criminal proceedings, secondly, we need penn state to step up. they're one of the largest organizations in the country. they need to make significant changes and make a difference. the rest of the country is watching. we've received cards and letters from hundreds of people that we don't know asking us to stick with this. hold people accountable and to be the advocate of change and that's what we're here to do. >> what should penn state do, shut them down. >> i don't have all the answers but i'm certainly willing to work with penn state. we've offered to do that of they need to put in policies and procedures that will eliminate alcohol in the fraternities. they should not be hazing at all. it's a crime. providing alcohol to minors is a crime.

they're turned a blind eye to it but that time is over. >> do you think your fellow students now understand how serious a problem this is? >> i hope so. i really do. that's all i can really do is hope. >> because the culture seems so deeply embedded in these frats right now. >> yeah. the world is watching. i think things are going to change. people, families want things to change. we're here to be the advocate. tim piazza is not just our son anymore but represents everyone's son and daughter looking to go to college and getting involved in greek life. >> what's the best way for his memory to be served. >> save other people's lives. >> that's all we got. that's all we have at this point. >> let's hope it happens. thank you for coming this today. >> thank you very much. >> we'll be right back. >> we'll be right back. ions of s there's a serious virus out there that's been almost forgotten. it's hepatitis c. one in 30 boomers has hep c, yet most don't even know it. because it can hide in your body for years without symptoms,

going to talk about. it's a privacy debate over what's being called a breathalyzer for your phone. new york lawmakers are trying to combat distracted driving by pushing a bill that would let police use so-called textalyzer. devices that could determine if a person was on the phone at the time of an accident. please explain. it's about nine months away from possibly being enacted but tell us the case that led to it. >> so, a dad basically says i don't understand why it took so long to find out why my 19-year-old son had a head-on collision with somebody else and he had been trying to get any information about whether the other driver was texting and his position is why should it take so long? why should it be so hard? why should it require a civil lawsuit in order to get that sort of information as to whether the other driver was texting? shouldn't this be sort of the basics, much like a breathalyzer is and so that's what led at least in new york this big

effort to try to get what they're calling these textalyzers in place. >> now, the textalyzer, you know, a lot of privacy advocates waving the red flag, privacy violation. what is their concern? >> the concern is that you won't just be able to get the information as to was someone using it but get all the information that's in someone's phone and in all of our phones is our lives and so people are saying, wait a sec. just because someone is involved in an accident, that shouldn't necessarily mean that the police suddenly get access to your entire phone which is what makes the technology here so important. and this is as you point out about nine months away. if the technology can truly only assess did someone use their phone without getting access to the material on the phone, that makes a big difference and may be able to address the most significant of the privacy concerns. >> things are always changing, technology, so that could by the time this is going to be passed or not in nine months, but it's not just new york state. there's other places considering it.

>> texting is something that's being discussed around the country. it's outlawed across the country when it comes to diving but that doesn't mean you can necessarily figure out whether someone was doing it and that's what they're trying to assess here, not just in new york. >> all right. thank you, dan. keep our eye on that. textalyzer, okay. now to america's newest pageant queen. they crowned the 2017 winner miss district of columbia, kara mccullough. she walked away with this year's title in a nailbiter and joining us now is miss usa 2015, olivia jordan and, olivia, a lot of heat online for comments made when miss usa was asked about health care and a lot of comments were made. we're going to look at somewhat she said. let's take a look. >> do you think affordable health care for all u.s. citizens is a right or a privilege and why? >> i'm definitely going to say it's a privilege. as a government employee i am granted health care and i see

firsthand that for one to have health care you need to have jobs, so therefore we need to continue to cultivate this environment that we're given the opportunity to have health care as well as jobs so all the american citizens worldwide. >> and, olivia that lit up social media right there and what are people saying online about her comments on health care? >> you know, this was such a controversial topic and people are heated about it. but i really felt that they -- people are saying she should have said it was a right instead of a privilege but it came around to americans should have jobs and health care so i think that she came from a good place and i would like to hear more about what she has to say on the issue because she only had 30 seconds to answer the question and as you know, for such a hot topic that is not enough time. >> you know that all too well and you bring up a good point about that, olivia. 30 seconds and when people are trying to say, i said i want to hear more from her. it's hard to in just 30 seconds.

how difficult is to be put on the spot like that and give an answer? >> you know, it is -- these are the hardest topics. they always come at you with the hard-hitting questions and you only have such a brief moment to think about it and answer and what high pressure that your job literally depends on what comes out of your mouth so it's so intense and you definitely have to do a lot of preparation. you have to be well versed on every topic that is plaguing our world and then you only get a brief amount of time to get your thoughts across, so it's definitely challenging and i think she handled herself with confidence, grace and she's a nuclear scientist, i'm so proud to have her in the miss usa family. >> a lot of positives there. five women on the stage last night, they immigrated to the u.s. at a young age. spotlighted diversity yesterday. how important was that? >> absolutely. it's so important to just celebrate all of these women and their stories and the diversity of america was absolutely represented on this stage and in

the past few years i think you've seen more of that and you've seen more of who these women are, how strong, how confident. how well educated and the diversity of what their field of study is, what their job is and where they come from in the world and i think that was a beautiful celebration last night of all of that. >> all of that. miss usa. >> unfair question, though. that's a tough question to ask someone, right, privilege versus right on health care. >> you can ask somebody their favorite color. >> exactly, right. >> if they're a tree what kind of tree would they be? >> you can ask hard questions but that's a setup. >> olivia, thank you. dan, thank you for weighing in. >> i wasn't asked to but nevertheless. >> that never stops you. >> yeah. >> he's going to be a judge one day. i can see you in one of these pageants. coming up superstar surprise. our friend jason derulo kicking off our week of pop enough surprises, giant music acts where you'd least expect them. where is he? ooh. ooh.

hi, i'm frank. i take movantik for oic, opioid-induced constipation. had a bad back injury, my doctor prescribed opioids which helped with the chronic pain, but backed me up big-time. tried prunes, laxatives, still constipated... had to talk to my doctor. she said, "how long you been holding this in?" (laughs) that was my movantik moment. my doctor told me that movantik is specifically designed for oic and can help you go more often. don't take movantik if you have a bowel blockage or a history of them. movantik may cause serious side effects, including symptoms of opioid withdrawal, severe stomach pain and/or diarrhea, and tears in the stomach or intestine. tell your doctor about any side effects and about medicines you take.

movantik may interact with them causing side effects. why hold it in? have your movantik moment. talk to your doctor about opioid-induced constipation. if you can't afford your medication, astrazeneca may be able to help.

important tips for you. >> reporter: imagine a thief broke into your house and stole your computer. then told you he'd give it back if you paid him $300. that's what's happening virtually with ransomware. >> when you logon to your computer there is a little announcement you need to pay them in order to get access to your files back. >> reporter: they demand a ransom usually in bitcoin. a largely untraceable digital currency. >> ransomware affects individuals just as much as it affects larger companies because the way that ransomware is usually spread is indiscriminate national. >> reporter: the fbi said 4,000 attacks happen daily targeting companies and individuals alike. what can you do? when your operating system asks if it can run a system or security update say yes every time or even better, choose to make it automatic. next, avoid the attacks entirely. >> you personally need to be active in ensuring that you don't download anything that can hurt you. >> reporter: that means never

click on attachments unless you're 100% sure. finally, back up your computer regularly. put all your data on an external hard drive or upload it to a cloud storage service. >> it generally gives you a lot more ability to almost laugh in the face of ransomware because you have all your files and can wipe your hard drive and reinstall from your backup and you're good to go. >> listen, i get it, backing up your hard drive is just another job on your to do list but you have got to do it. if you want to protect your files. next tip, really important. before you open an attachment in an e-mail, think of it as opening the front door to your house. if you are not completely sure who it is, and who you are letting in, just don't do it, robin. finally, if you get hit with ransomware don't pay the ransom. >> you've been covering this for quite some time. have you ever seen something like this, becky? >> i've been saying for 19 years that computer security is going to get real when hackers can get money from their victims. it just got real.

>> never to us. >> no. >> dee dee was having gypsy believe that everyone would turn on her, everyone would hate her, so she just did what her mom told her to do. >> reporter: after two decades of abuse gypsy finally snapped, police say she plotted to kill her mother with her secret online boyfriend nicholas godejohn. on june 14, 2015, police found her brutally stabbed to death. gypsy nowhere to be found, police tracked her down the next day at godejohn's home in wisconsin. what did you see when you saw gypsy walk into that courtroom? >> to see her walk, i was happy, but sad at the same time because of the situation. >> i felt furious. i was -- like one hand i was happy to see her walk and on the other hand i'm like, wow, all of them years she could have done so much more. >> gypsy pled guilty to second degree murder and was sentenced to ten years in prison. >> i was just as much in the

dark as everybody else. the only thing i knew i could walk. as for everything else, the leukemia, the epilepsy, i was taking medication that she said was cancer medicine. she would shave my head and say it's going to fall out anyways so let's keep it nice and neat. i just went on blind faith that a mother knows best. >> it's a dilemma because the question is where does the abuse fall in line with the lie that you're complicit in? >> that was the question for me making this film. how much can i trust this woman who has grown up in total deception? >> who failed gypsy? >> the doctors, her mother. >> me. >> what's your biggest regret? >> not making her feel like she could call me at any time and say, hey, dad, i need this. >> you met gypsy in jail. what was that like? >> it was wonderful. it was good. >> most people don't say that. >> it was good to face-to-face with her, just tell her i love her.

[ applause ] >> what made you write a book in fatherhood?

>> you know, i used to in a good-natured way roast my dad at parties and tell them all the stories about, like, the crazy stuff he would do, and that we would do together, and then i was, like, maybe i'm telling these stories too much, so one time at a gathering, i stopped, and i get home. he goes, buddy, why didn't you tell any of the stories? so i decided to start writing them down and i did and the book just sort of came out. i never intended for it to get published. sort of shocking. >> and the fact that your dad, he wants his own book signing too. he's really taking on -- >> he's like, hey, i'm going to have a book signing. okay, do you need me to sign? no, i'm signing. >> the book is about me, right. >> it's my book. that's fantastic. so barnes & noble, he's like going to set up a little stand and like -- yeah. >> that's your dad.

would just get a different crummy car and we would drive cross country all the time together and he would tell stories, which later i learned many of which were untrue. [ laughter ] and then i realized that -- i think a lot of us do this. he would unintentionally lie to me. he told me the sky was bigger in florida than it is in illinois. >> because -- >> because of -- what do you mean. bigger. because it looked flat. he goes, well, you know, it's bigger here, we're closer to the equator and i'm like is that true? and he goes, i don't think so. but i think it wasn't so much he was lying as that, you know, sometimes i think all of us say things we believe to be true while we're saying it then later we're in the car and we're like, did i just make something up? i think he did it all the time. >> what was the big life lesson you learned from him that you impart on your children? >> i don't sweat the small stuff. he really -- be happy. it's a choice and i try to just make sure the girls know that if you try to be happy and you're

stapler? >> and went to the hospital for tests in for a concussion. >> there was something about a blood pressure cuff. >> well, there are several because if it's not working right we need a second opinion at home. >> okay. are we going to -- did we -- we just want to add to the collection of -- oh we thought -- >> that's so nice of you. that's amazing.

pretty much call everybody papi so they papi me back. >> they got sick of you calling them papi. >> yeah. >> but it's fitting man. a great player all the way around who has won three world series rings. is there one of those experiences that's most special to you? >> definitely. the 2004 one. it's the one that breaks the ice, you know? pretty much everybody was expecting us to win the world series for the past 86 years, and we end up winning that one. that was when i basically recognized how much people was missing it. >> they were really missing it. that curse was lasting for a long time, man. you helped break it. we have young baseball fans here and one in particular, aidan, has a question. what you got, aidan? >> what is your advice from going from the little leagues to the majors? >> you know, make sure you exercise every day so you can

front of all those people? >> i know. isn't that crazy? >> you're not nerving about asking for a selfie. you've asked for some great ones. the one with president obama. what is going through your head -- >> i didn't know the president got all those snipers out there. don't want to be reaching for your pocket but he gave me the green light, basically i was like, mr. president, can i take a picture with you? here we go. >> i like that, go ahead, papi. >> you know how cool president obama is, man, so it was like, go ahead, papi. picture time. >> we just saw another picture of you with tom brady at the kentucky derby. >> my man. >> how long did it take to put that outfit together, man? >> you know the kentucky derby, man, you got to look cool out there. i bump into my boy, tom brady, and i snapped one, you know. we go back and forth. that's my boy, man. >> he is a good dude. >> i remember that one year. i don't forget.

>> he's won five. don't feel sorry for him. and i got to ask you one more quick question, i know you're settling into retirement but do you miss baseball? >> you know what? baseball is always going to be missed by -- by, you know, the people who plays it. the people who watch it because baseball is a wonderful sport. you know, but reality is i'm so busy, you know, and i got out of the game under my terms so it's not like i really miss playing because i played the game for so long, i miss performing in front of the fans who follow baseball who love the baseball game. >> you're not done performing yet because your book, "papi: my story" is out tomorrow. make sure you pick it up. david, thank you so much, man. everybody, we'll be right back.
