there's a live look at the stadium this morning if you're going this afternoon, have fun good morning, america. fun breaking overnight, villanova the champs. >> the nova nation has another national championship! >> the wildcats scored their second title in just three years blowing past michigan with secret weapon donte divincenzo sinking shot after shot. one of the heroes is right here live on "gma." >> good morning, america. we're national champions. also this morning, severe storm alert. whiteout conditions and slick ice creating a mess across the midwest. now more than 40 million americans in the storm zone bracing for tornadoes, flash flooding, and heavy snow. president trump takes on amazon, escalating his attack on one of america's biggest retailers. amazon's stock plummets. and the new twist in that legal battle involving a "playboy" playmate who says she had an affair with donald trump. and inside the miracle

rescue. >> i was thinking, like, i'm gonna die. >> the 13-year-old trapped in a drainage pipe for hours traveling nearly a mile below los angeles. now telling his story, his race to escape, the new video inside that tunnel. and the clue rescuers followed to finally get him out alive. and good morning, america. what a night for villanova. they are the national champs again. and paula, is that why you're wearing black. >> i'm in mourning. i'm trying not to be a sore loser. listen, villanova was the better team and michigan has got nothing to be ashamed of. they went into the season unranked and made it to the national championship game. we're sorry, though. >> you could give me a couple of hugs. philadelphia is celebrating once again. for the first time ever the super bowl and ncaa basketball champs are from the same city. they are tired there this

morning, for sure. >> they're tired. the city of brotherly love surely knows how to party. take a look at villanova's fans flooding the streets climbing those poles. a little deja vu. because that's what they did when the eagles won the super bowl. abc's kayna whitworth was in san antonio for the big game. good morning, kayna. >> reporter: hey, paula, good morning. nova nation celebrating their second national title in three years. and we have been up all night. you guys having fun? all right. so with as relatively young team led by sophomore donte divincenzo, who came off the bench to have one of the best performances in national championship history, some here are talking dynasty. >> the nova nation has another national championship! >> reporter: after the maddest march in recent memory, villanova is the last team standing. >> wildcats bringing home a national championship. >> reporter: it was a classic match-up pitting top-seeded villanova's powerhouse offense against number three michigan's dominating defense. >> i love it.

>> reporter: michigan with an early lead but that quickly vanishes. after nova sharp shooters took aim. >> that's a three. >> reporter: a hero emerging off the bench, donte divincenzo on fire. >> he's in a different zone! >> you have been called villanova's best kept secret. i can promise you you are not a secret anymore. how does it feel to lead your team to a national title? >> it's awesome. i know those guys all year hyped me up a lot. those guys pushed me to be the best player i could be. >> reporter: dropping 31 points on the wolverines, tieing the most points ever stored in a title game since 1985. >> divincenzo breaks their heart. >> there you go. >> oh, divincenzo. bring it back down. >> reporter: the delaware native nicknamed the big ragu. you're called the big ragu and some other fantastic nicknames. how does two-time national champ fit you? >> i think that's the best one.

>> reporter: divincenzo celebrating with his team after the final buzzer and the poles in the philly area greased for the second time in two months, as the city celebrates the wildcats. so donte's also going home with mvp honors and coach wright told me his willingness to be the sixth man really separated villanova from other teams. and donte always does what the team needs. last night they needed him to score 31 points. >> i think 21 would have been enough but congratulations to villanova. their second title in three years and third overall. kayna, thanks for your reporting. jalen brunson will join us live in our next hour. >> i just don't want to stop saying the big ragu. that's my favorite thing i learned about this tournament. and sister jean. moving on now president trump's growing attack on amazon. the president on twitter lashing out at one of the world's biggest retailers. and just like that, amazon's stock plunged. our chief business correspondent rebecca jarvis is here and, rebecca, this war seems to be getting personal. >> reporter: yeah, that's right, cecilia. this is the company where

millions of americans buy everything from electronics to paper towels. it is a stock that most americans with a 401(k) own in their savings account. and the repeated twitter attacks from the president are taking their toll. president trump threatening major changes for amazon. on monday tweeting, only fools or worse are saying that our money losing post office makes money with amazon. they lose a fortune. and this will be changed. also, our fully taxpaying retailers are closing stores all over the country. not a level playing field. it's all part of a tweetstorm aimed at the tech titan. the president suggesting rate hikes for shipping amazon packages sending shares of amazon spiraling down more than 5%. amazon's ceo jeff bezos, who also owns "the washington post," once invited to be on the president's tech council. now caught in the cross hairs. so exactly how much money is the postal service losing on its deal with amazon? according to its own website, by law, the postal service must

cover its costs on all deliveries including amazon packages. amazon, which uses the postal service in the final leg of package delivery, does get a high-volume discount. also at issue, taxes. while amazon paid a total of $957 million worldwide last year and collects sales taxes in the 45 states which require it, in most states the tech titan does not collect taxes on the products third-party vendors sell through its site. roughly half its volume. a significant advantage the e-commerce giant has over brick and mortar competitors. and a point trump frequently campaigned on. >> in the meantime, your department stores are all going out of business because it's unfair competition. >> reporter: last year, a record 7,000 stores closed and retailers cut 67,000 jobs overall, while amazon announced it would be adding 100,000 jobs by mid-2018 so mid this year. >> as the president was tweeting, we saw those amazon

stocks fall yesterday. other tech stocks are taking a hit. how much of this has to do with what they might be seeing as uncertainty about what's happening in washington? >> well, that's certainly a part of it, cecilia. overall, tech stocks have been dropping in recent weeks. and we've seen that with facebook, netflix, apple. of course, amazon, which we're talking about here. google's parent company, alphabet. and that regulatory uncertainty does play a role. for example, with facebook, the privacy scandal, that certainly is regulatory uncertainty hanging over that name as well, and for americans the two important thing, a, we use these company, b, they're in most people's retirement savings accounts whether you own them outright or in a mutual fund. >> you'll be busy with this one for the weeks to come. the president not only attacking amazon but he's also attacking mexico and congress over immigration. we want to bring in jon karl for more on that. the president has been on a tear including just a few minutes ago. >> reporter: he is on fire on this, george. he's tweeted about 20 times over

the past two days. fully half of those tweets, including this one you're seeing right now, on mexico, on immigration, slamming the democrats. saying that there must be a crackdown on immigration. george, it wasn't that long ago that the president was talking about congress needing to pass what he called a bill of love to provide a path to citizenship for the dreamers. that talk is gone. he had been criticized by some of his hard-line supporters for going soft on immigration. now, george, it seems as though the president is out to prove that there is nobody more hard-line on immigration than donald trump. >> and what seems to have caught his eye is this caravan of immigrants coming from central america through mexico, which is pretty much an annual event. >> reporter: yeah, and we know this is a caravan of immigrants from honduras coming up. organized by an activist group. they are far away from the u.s. border right now. this has gotten attention on fox news and that in turn has certainly caught the eye of the president. >> meantime, the president's epa administrator scott pruitt in hot water, now being

investigated by the white house. >> reporter: that's right. this is all tied to this apartment that he has rented on capitol hill for $50 a night from the lobbyist for a canadian energy department, a company, a lobbyist that is paid to lobby the environmental protection agency. they got a project approved last year from the epa. the epa says this has nothing to do with any housing arrangement that the epa administrator has but make no doubt about it, he is on thin ice, george. >> certainly. okay, jon, thanks very much. we're going to move on to a new twist in the legal battle between "the national enquirer" and that "playboy" model who claims she had an affair with donald trump back in 2006. the publisher is asking a california court to dismiss karen mcdougal's lawsuit and abc's linsey davis is here with the latest. good morning, linsey. >> reporter: good morning. of course, the first amendment is all about freedom of speech and freedom of the press. and now the publisher of "the national enquirer" is invoking its right and not publish karen mcdougal's story, a tactic called catch and kill, and the

company says it could not be punished for exercising that right. this morning, the publisher of "the national enquirer" is hitting back against former "playboy" model karen mcdougal asking a california court to dismiss her lawsuit against american media inc. over a deal to sell the rights to her story about the alleged affair with trump. >> he always told me he loved me. >> reporter: in her lawsuit, mcdougal, who last month told cnn her alleged affair with donald trump started in 2006 claims she was tricked into signing the agreement which paid her $150,000 for her story with any then-married man. >> were you in love with him? >> i was, yeah. >> and do you think he was in love with you? >> he was. >> reporter: in a nearly 200-page response filed monday, ami, which did not run her story, is asking that the lawsuit be dismissed claiming it has a first amendment right not to publish and cannot be punished for exercising that right.

adding, there was no fraud in the execution of the agreement. ami released a statement saying we hope that mcdougal will continue to be a valued contributor. while we dispute her legal claims, we look forward to reaching an amicable resolution satisfactory to her and to ami. but mcdougal's attorney is firing back, telling abc news the tabloid went to great lengths to silence her and others. and they are now attempting to silence her again with the absurd claim that their own free speech was violated. >> she didn't fully understand anything about the contract. she wants to get out from under the thumb of a huge company that is essentially controlling her life. >> reporter: david schwartz, a spokesman for trump's attorney michael cohen, tells abc news the case belongs in arbitration pursuant to the arbitration clause in the agreement. mcdougal's attorney however says they look forward to opposing ami's motion. george? >> okay, linsey, thanks very much. let's talk about it with dan abrams, our chief legal analyst. "the national enquirer" has a relatively strong claim. >> certainly on the contractual argument, right. they had a contract with her.

this was the deal. she's now saying she didn't understand some of the contract. she didn't understand that this meant that they could not publish certain things. their constitutional arguments to me, are less strong. i mean because they're in essence sort of saying, well, this is a first amendment right of a company and it's true that a media company is allowed to decide what they want to publish and not publish. i think there's an argument to be made it's a little different when the goal is if it's true, a, to help a personal friend of the president by, b, buying something to not publish it. meaning, there is a difference between choosing not to publish something and buying it not to publish it. now, they would dispute that, et cetera. but i do think that makes this a little bit of a trickier constitutional -- >> on another subject, we have a relatively significant development overnight in the mueller investigation. new documents saying he was clearly authorized to look at collusion especially paul manafort. >> paul manafort has sought to effectively throw out his indictment. saying mueller has gone beyond

where he was authorized to go in this investigation. and this document shows for the first time that rod rosenstein actually not -- the deputy attorney general, the person who oversees robert mueller wrote an additional memo in august of 2017 which made it clear that they are allowed to look into collusion with regard to manafort and other possible crimes that may have been earlier with regard to manafort which is exactly what the manafort charges relate to. >> and clearly contradicts the president's claims that they have already concluded that there is no collusion. >> they definitely have not concluded that. >> dan abrams, thanks very much. paula. >> significant development there. thanks, dan and george. we want to move to that teacher walkout which has shut down schools in two states so far. tens of thousands of teachers in both oklahoma and kentucky are striking for better pay and better funding for their classes, and other states could soon follow. abc's clayton sandell is in oklahoma city, where they're entering day two of the walkout. good morning to you, clayton. >> reporter: good morning, paula. this morning, teachers are already arriving at the state

capitol here behind me. the second day of protests, again, has schools across oklahoma shut down. in oklahoma and kentucky, thousands of teachers taking to the streets marching on their state capitols. [ chanting ] oklahoma educators striking for better pay and more money to fix broken schools. >> i teach in a classroom where i mean the carpet is 40 years old. walls that are cracking and we don't have the money to fix it. the safety of our children is at risk. >> reporter: senior megan uses textbooks that are older than she is. >> i'm going to college next year and i barely made it with the education i had. >> reporter: teachers in this deep red state with some of the worst pay in the country are riding a growing wave of anger over cuts to public education, a wave that started last month in west virginia. [ chanting ] spreading to arizona and kentucky, where teachers are protesting changes to pensions. >> we are all focused on the same goal which is funding and

supporting public education. >> reporter: with most oklahoma schools closed, makeshift classes sprang up in the middle of the rally. >> right now, they're doing a.p. language. and they're going to be doing a.p. literature in about 20 to 30 minutes. crazy cool. >> reporter: oklahoma lawmakers last week gave teachers a $6,000 raise and $50 million for schools, teachers say it's far from enough. how long are you planning on being out here? >> as long as it takes. as long as it takes. >> reporter: oklahoma's governor says she wants to find a way forward on education but is warning the state budget is already tight. and there is no sign state lawmakers are budging. could be a long standoff, cecilia. >> okay, clayton, thank you. we turn to new fallout from that fertility clinic failure in ohio. more than 4,000 eggs and embryos lost in a freezer malfunction. this morning, three women affected by cancer are now suing. abc's erielle reshef has more. >> reporter: this morning, after loss of 4,000 eggs and embryos at university hospital in cleveland, the victims are

urging congress to enact laws to ensure greater regulation of fertility clinics. >> these women who are particularly vulnerable have been victimized by the loss of their eggs due to no fault of their own. >> reporter: three of the nearly 1,000 patients affected came together at a news conference with attorney gloria allred to announce they're suing the hospital. for these three cancer survivors, those eggs were their best chance to have children. >> things may be terrible now i thought but at least one day i'll still be able to have the family i'd always dreamed of. but now that light is extinguished. >> reporter: there are now multiple lawsuits against the hospital after the storage failure last month where an alarm was shut off causing a temperature malfunction. >> the overwhelming grief was as if i had lost a child. i have not stopped feeling that way since march 9th. >> reporter: all three of those cancer survivors say they delayed chemotherapy to undergo fertility treatments.

overnight, the university hospital saying we watched three women share their stories of the loss they suffered. we are profoundly sorry for their loss and are committed to helping make sure this never happens again anywhere. paula? >> our hearts go out to those women. thank you very much for your reporting, erielle. we want to move now to houston. we mentioned villanova earlier in the show. another championship celebration happened but it hit a bit of a snag. the houston astros, they were supposed to unveil their world series banner at their home opener on monday. that's the plan. everybody is waiting for it to happen. it's not being unveiled. they're still waiting. the players are laughing. but one guy got really resourceful. you can't see underneath the banner. but a guy was using a leaf blower to try to get the big reveal. he gets an "a" for being resourceful. congratulations to the houston astros. of course, they won the world series last year. but finally had that big moment in their home park. >> and they have the leaf blower so they're good to go.

let's go to rob right now. more spring storms coming. >> the snowstorm yesterday which canceled opening day for the yankees. they could have used a big hair dryer to blow the snow off the field. a foot and a half of snow in montana and wyoming and minnesota had like 25 crashes in 15 minutes last night so roads are dangerous there. we've got more snow on the way, 6 to 12 inches of it through northern michigan and ontario, across wisconsin. the more dangerous part of this storm today is the threat for severe weather across the ohio valley. getting some today. another round this afternoon all the way down to houston.

he fought desperately for anything to grab on to. rescuers say. leaving hand streaks along the left wall of the pipe. >> the video shows there's like handprints on the wall. did you do that on purpose so people would know where you were? >> yeah. >> it's a miracle that he survived and it was just overwhelming joy. >> reporter: jesse's terrifying journey began sunday afternoon, at a family easter celebration in griffith park. jesse and his friends wandering off to play at this decommissioned maintenance vent where he fell through a wood plank. the boy plummeting 25 feet through this hole into the rushing raw sewage below. >> i was playing. and i didn't see that it was a little piece of wood. and i stepped on it and i just fell down, and the current took me. >> reporter: in a race against time, rescuers using specialized floating cameras map out the maze of four-foot-wide undergpid uns.pe finally, a clue. those handprints leading sanitation workers to a hatch, 3500 feet from where jesse fell

in. >> when i heard noises, i was screaming and whistling loud. >> the two workers loosened that maintenance hole then the first thing they hear is help. >> they could hear the boy asking for help? >> and right away they lowered the hose and said hold on. he held on and they reeled him up. >> reporter: once safe above ground jesse asking for a cell phone to call his family. he was decontaminated on the scene and taken to a local hospital. >> i'm thankful for coming back with my family. >> reporter: this morning, jesse is out of the hospital and back home with his family. meantime, the city has put up this second layer of fencing, boarded up the windows, and bolted shut that hole that jesse fell through, hoping that something like this never happens again. paula? >> yeah, easter miracle, indeed. whit, thanks for your reporting. joining us now is erik scott. captain, thanks for joining us.

we heard in whit's piece he's doing okay. we know jesse spent 12 hours in those pipes. can you give us an update on how he's doing mentally this morning? >> we haven't heard from him this morning, and how he's doing. but we hear that he's been healing well and he was a bit bruised up as you could imagine being in this environment. but we're so pleased for the positive outcome. >> the system of pipes and drains, it's incredibly complex. your public information officer said you did not expect to find a viable person. why didn't you think that jesse would be alive? >> well, just purely due to the duration and the unique environment that he was in. this was a multifaceted complex type of an incident. you have a potential for a swift water rescue. you definitely have a hazardous materials environment. you have a confined space environment. and this was all a closed pipe system that you can't see, underground, with minimal access holes to it. so those are a lot of the challenges that we had to overcome.

and our firefighters were very inventive. and this building behind me here, they had lowered down their own videocamera. put them on flotation devices similar to that of a boogie board to try and get a quick visual and tether that off with rope and lower it in 300 feet in hopes to find jesse and we didn't and this went on and on. we then picked up that operation and moved that down farther. as minutes go by, as hours go by, we know based on experience and training that a viable victim is becoming less and less possible. so really when it came -- go ahead. >> finish your thought. >> when it comes down to around that 4:00 hour in particular, there was a lot of tension, i mean, at that point it had been eight, ten hours on this search. we knew the toxic environment. we had taken air samples. there was hydrogen sulfide in there. we knew it was, in fact, a sewer line. we were determining where any void and pockets were. and then we saw those marks on

the side. and we knew for a fact that he was in there. because at awhile there was even a question, was he in there? the family sent a photo and said, hey, send this out to the public in case he got out or he never was in so we can have anyone in the public call the local police station and let them know. so once we saw those marks on the wall, i'll be honest, our hearts kind of sank. because now we knew in fact we did have jesse inside of this hazardous area. and it had been such a long time, and based on experience usually a body recovery. >> well, captain erik scott, this was the best case scenario. kudos to such a team effort including jesse, who did his part, as well. we're so relieved that he was found alive. thanks for your time this morning. george? >> they did a great job. coming up here, he is the young star of "roseanne" sparking important conversation for families. ames mcnamara here live next. here live next. .

we've seen an amazon effect on retail. but as the world moves towards digital, why focus on just this one company? some believe it's because amazon's ceo jeff bezos is also the owner of "the washington post," cecilia. >> and he is often not happy with that newspaper. okay, rebecca, thank you. now to more nasty weather that's on the way for millions after a tough day on the roads, guess what? even more snow and possible tornadoes are in the forecast. let's go back to rob for the latest. >> that's what we should be talking about. a tornado this time of year but as you the know from yesterday, we had an april snowstorm in the northeast. this now in the midwest over a foot in some spots, enough to do damage as far as fishtailing in south dakota but minneapolis, twin cities this morning, a rough commute. last night between 8:00 and 8:15 minnesota state police reported 25 crashes. just in that 15-minute span. so it is a rough go for sure. another 6 to 12 inches potentially through wisconsin and michigan. but it's really the severe part that we're most concerned about later on today, indiana, ohio, from indianapolis back through

we are dancing here in the studio this morning but we do want to talk about a "gma" health alert. a first of its kind major new study that found mothers raising children with heart defects are more likely to have heart problems themselves. chief medical correspondent dr. jennifer ashton is here with more. jen, this is huge news for women and heart disease which so often goes undetected and untreated. >> potentially massive news for women's health because we're talking about the number one killer of women, heart disease. and we're talking about the number one most common congenital birth defect which is a heart defect. this was a massive study done in quebec, canada, looked at over 1 million women who had just given birth to babies with congenital heart defects -- both critical and noncritical, or less severe. followed them for 25 years to find out is there an association for the moms? we know about the babies. and they actually found that the moms who have had babies with heart defects were 25% more likely to be hospitalized for a

cardiovascular event. we're talking anything from stroke, heart attack, to needing a heart transplant. and what was interesting is the more critical or severe the defect in the baby, the sooner that cardiac event manifested in the mom. >> what do you know about what is putting the them more at risk? >> we don't understand. the theories out there, could there be a genetic predisposition that first showed up in the baby and manifests later in the mom? we don't know. interesting is a stress pathway. we know raising a child with any type of birth defect especially a congenital heart defect triggers a whole stress cascade. and then there are common risk factors, diabetes, obesity that can increase the birth defect risk in a baby and then future heart disease in the mom. >> how can they reduce the risks? >> this is really the interesting thing here. there is a massive push now in the specialties of ob/gyn and cardiology to recognize the common ground, screen women if

they require screening. and to make the awareness, not only in the mom, but also if the health care provider. if you have had a pregnancy-related complication like gestational diabetes or pre-eclampsia that is considered almost a failed stress test later on in life. so we need to talk to each other. and women need to be aware. >> so important that we are talking about this. thank you. paula? >> thanks very much, cecilia and dr. jen. now a parenting alert about how to help your daughters be more confidence. it's all part of a new book out today called "the confidence code for girls." we'll speak to the authors. i sat down with a group of tweens to talk about the struggles they're facing. raise your hand if you would like to be more confident. these new york girls between 12 and 14 years old are entering an age of self-doubt. in this age group, do you think you naturally start to doubt yourself a little bit more? >> absolutely. looking in the mirror is sometimes so hard. >> why do you start doubting

yourself more? >> as you get older you tend to think more about what other people think of you rather than what you think of yourself. you're like, oh, maybe this is true. and like and then start doubting yourself. >> it's hard to get out of your head once you believe it as well but really deep down inside you, you know it's not true. but when you keep hearing it over and over again, you're like, oh, my god. this is true. >> reporter: they're not just worrying what others think. they say the fear of failure can be paralyzing. how scary is failure? >> very scary. like on a scale from 1 to 10, 10. >> i keep thinking way too far ahead like what college am i going to get into? if i get a bad grade on a test i'll overreact and be like, whoa, whoa, whoa. >> just like you. >> literally, i ewed to say this in elementary school. if i don't get into a good middle school then i might end up in a bad high school and then i'll end up in a bad colleges with a bad job and living in my parents' basement and i will live alone. >> that's so me. i have thought about that so many times. >> reporter: this fear of

failure is not uncommon. in "the confidence code," authors claire shipman and katty kay say between ages 12 and 13 the percentage of girls who say they're not allowed to fail increases by 60%. impacting life choices. >> so just recently they had tennis tryouts. and i'm pretty good. but, yeah, i didn't do it. >> which didn't you go for it? >> i was afraid i would mess up. >> do you feel like you'll live with that regret for a little bit? >> yeah, a little. >> art class, there will be these competitions. and i have a like started some pieces. but i haven't entered if i of them because i'm scared that people aren't going to like it. >> reporter: while they are afraid to fail shipman and kay say they believe taking risks might build their confidence. >> both failing and winning because if i win i know like i can do. >> reporter: and it's taking that chance that just might be the key to cracking the confidence code. do you think your confidence would grow if you took more risks? >> definitely. >> taking risks is like the biggest part of confidence.

because if you take a risk, then you like get that feeling that you know that you can do something. and then it gives you more confidence. and then you keep doing more things. and then you kind of reach the peak. >> taking risks can be so empowering. authors claire shipman and katty kay are here. welcome. congratulations on the book. >> thank you. >> so insightful. claire, you conducted a poll and we're seeing a significant dip in confidence levels in girls ages 8 to 12. why is that? >> we were startled. we teamed up with a research firm and we found that between the ages of 8 and 14 confidence is dropping for girls by 30%. in fact, this is when the confidence gap between men and women starts. and girls are 22% less likely to call themselves confident. why is it? first of all, we have to remember how we make confidence. it's not what you think essentially. it's by taking risks. struggling a little bit. failing. and working through at the

process. so right at puberty, our eq, our emotional quotient soars, but makes us more cautious and often people pleasers. and parents and teachers play into it. and encourage the good girl syndrome. who doesn't want kids who are always doing everything right. girls are much better at it than boys are but by the time they're in high school they're full-blown perfectionists and they're not taking risks or failing. >> you mentioned taking risks and failing and katty, what can we do to empower our daughters. >> some is counterintuitive. we want to protect them. what we need to do is get our daughters comfortable with the idea of being uncomfortable because you build confidence when you try stuff that is new and hard and you get out of your comfort zone. you don't do it from doing the easy stuff. you have to get out of that comfort zone. but when we watch our girls struggle it's terrible for us as parents. it breaks our hearts. >> it's heart wrenching. >> we have to get used to the idea that struggling is good and

get our girls used to the idea that struggling is good. and by the way, boys are doing it much more than girls are. >> that might be why they have higher confidence levels. i think we're all catching on to this, right? what we'll do, our audience, see if you know how to navigate it. we're going to survey them with a few questions. we gave them clickers. everybody, have your clicker in hand. we want to see if you get these answers correct. the first question, no pressure at all, okay. [ laughter ] the first question, which is most important for gaining confidence, is it a, self-esteem, b, struggle, c, setting goals or, d, success. audience, if you could weigh in. we'll give you a couple of seconds and when the results are ready, we'll see those up on the wall. >> i love this. >> isn't it great? survey says! which is most important for gaining confidence is self-esteem. what say you, ladies? >> you haven't learned yet. >> we thought self-esteem and confidence were equivalent when we were writing the book.

but, in fact, the most important thing for confidence of those four is struggle. >> incredible. >> i know it seems counterintuitive but it's that process. you have to take risks, fail, do things that are hard for you, and work through it. it's a struggle then you build confidence. >> one more question, always better to be overprepared, true or false? survey says from the audience. true or false. what say you? they say -- oh, it's a dead heat. >> wow. >> what is the answer, katty? >> wow. being overprepared is super exhausting. way better actually to let your girls fail. get them used to the idea of failing. >> katty and claire, we gotta go. you'll be back tomorrow because we have so much more to talk about. >> thank you.

good morning north bay, let's get up and get going. >> good morning, i'm reggie aqui, it is 8:27. hercules police looking for a stolen car. residents say they were chasing a suspect and they lost control and wound up crashing into a fence. hopefully traffic is calmer this morning. >> reggie, we have been coming and going ags far as incidents are concerned. so we are expecting a lot of traffic, 80, 101, 280 and the sur stas streets for the home opener. drive time 34 minutes, no delay drive time 34 minutes, no delay on

person as she does and so i was like i really want to be friends with her and so i kind of -- out of the friendship i got sign language because obviously she's deaf and i'm not so i had to learn to communicate with her. so that really -- that was really great and bonded our friendship and just having swung, you know, because we come from different countries and from the same hotel, both new to us, just having someone there to help out and, you know, be there for you when you're sad or something, i don't know, but it was just really cool. >> you are both magnificent. we have some of your fans with you here. deaf or just really teenagers all around the world. you inspire so many. what is it like for you to inspire so many young kids. >> translator: well, i feel it's a real honor because all my life i didn't really have someone to look up to and mentor, a deaf role model so i feel like, you know, that's very important for me to be a deaf role model. not just for deaf people but all

disabled people and for, you know, letting hollywood know that we can be anything. we can be included in more films. we can be an airplane pilot or do anything we want to do. >> do you feel some pressure being a role model? >> translator: oh, of course, yes. but i have so many people behind me supporting me i think i'll be okay. >> i learned a sign which is ready. you seem to be ready to be a role model. noah, you co-star, john krasinski was recommended to you by george clooney who also directed you. give me the difference between the two as a direct are or just being on set with them. >> they are really different and both amazing. i mean honestly, they're that high level. you know, you think -- what you think about them, what you dream about them being really lovely, they are, you know. what you expect them to be, they are and, yeah, it was great to work with george and then george to mention john -- mention to john about me, these two

directors and actors just to mention and me, you know, go on to john's movie was really, really -- it was phenomenal. >> we're excited for it to open. it opens in theaters friday called "a quiet place." >> don't go if you get scared. >> i'm already scared but, you know, we're very excited about it. all right. i learned something else. good morning, i'm "abc 7 news," meteoroogist mike nicco. a slightly cooler start in my accuweather 12-hour planner and cool to comfy afternoon on all right. opens up on friday. "a quiet place," george, back over to you. > it certainly is scary. thanks very much. now you see i'm surrounded by strategy tables. we all know we're supposed to eat them but the cdc says 90% don't get enough and we don't stock up because we fear everything will spoil so frozen vegetables, are they the answer

and are they as healthy. "consumer reports" looked at that question and dawn jackson blatner is here to reveal the answer. are frozen as healthy. >> they are similar, in fact, there was a study done by u.c. davis where they grew fruit answer vegetables and compared them to the flash frozen and found virtually no difference in knew 2rigs? what should you look for? >> when you buy the frozen bags look at the ingredient, right. don't want things like additive, salts and sugars, really should just say vegetables instead of all these seasonings on here are the best. when look at sodium, 140 milligrams is what you're looking for or less and then serving size if you are getting those ones keep it in check and check that on the label. >> generally not always but generally frozen cheaper. >> oh, frozen cheaper. there are so many benefits actually to frozen because you think about how convenient these are, right? is this the time we're like, oh.

convenience. right. because they're so convenient. already cut and cleaned, right? that's really a big win here. also if you think about it, they last a long time in your freezer so there's no waste, right? three to six months you can have them in there and then you don't go to store as much so you could do fresh like the beginning of the week and instead of going back to the store you could keep niece for the second half of the week. >> nice. i know "consumer reports" looked at various products and ranked them by nutritional value. >> this is so great that "consumer reports" does it. it's for taste and nutrition, the rankings so you guys ready for the top three.

the green giant same brand riced veggie, cauliflower and sweet potato. nice. and then finally we have the bird's eye, steamed fresh protein blends california style. and this one has a little more calorie, a little more sodium but came in high in nutrition because a lot of fiber and protein. >> you mentioned cauliflower. the company is doing a lot with it. >> you know, when you're doing all of these frozen, don't just stick them in a pot and boil them because that reduces the nutrition so you want to do steaming, sauteing or microwaving to keep nutrition in there. thank you, thank you. yeah and you are. you're right on the money. that cauliflower did a big craze and it's really because it's so versatile and really fun. >> it's delicious. >> it's delicious. so you think about it, instead of doing rice you could swap it with kauffmanly flower or mashed potatoes do mashed cauliflower or even do cauliflower pizza crust, right. this all saves calories and carbs. that's why people love it. >> thanks for coming in today.
