7:02 am
see he carried the team on his shoulders. unbelievable. >> lebron played all 48 minutes leading the cavs to their fourth straight finals. i have to say as a guy from boston, i'm a little depressed the celtics are out of this, but you have to give him his props. >> you have to give him props especially considering on the road winning game seven and cleveland has been decimated by injuries but props to boston. they'll be back next year. >> if you want a tutorial on sports -- >> that will be later on. that will be the 9:00 hour. we want to thank you for joining us on this memorial day. we are honoring all those brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice for our country. here's a live look at arlington national cemetery in virginia where president trump will lay a wreath at the tomb of the unknown soldier later this morning. >> that's right. we'll have more on that and the commemorations going on throughout the country. but first we begin with that devastating flash flooding in ellicott city, maryland, turning the streets into rapids. the city devastated again after finally just rebuilding from another terrible storm two years ago. abc's david kerley is there on the scene, and, david, what dramatic images we've been
7:03 am
seeing. >> reporter: absolutely, amy. look at that. those cars were not parked there. they were carried there by a wall of water that came rushing down. if you look, you can see where the creek is today. think about the water so much higher as it raged through this area coming down. here's another car. all this debris up to the basement levels in these buildings behind me. one man is missing this morning and as you mentioned, the second flood in two years. almost an unbelievable scene for thousands of maryland residents. raging waters filling the streets of their town, ellicott city. >> oh, my god. >> reporter: crumbling houses. >> there's a man! >> reporter: and smashing car after car. >> they're all going down. >> reporter: tossing them like toys. it happened so fast, a torrential downpour. more than eight inches of rain in three hours. >> you could see water rushing everywhere. unbelievable how quickly the water rose.
7:04 am
>> reporter: the water as high as the ceiling of first floor businesses. people searching for a way out. those floodwaters filling this restaurant's basement. >> people trapped. there's people in every building. >> reporter: an sos flag hung, alarms blaring, as trapped people await rescue on the second story of buildings and hers trekking through the water creating a state of emergency. >> they say this is a once every thousand-year flood. we had two of them in two years. >> reporter: two years ago it was another heavy rainstorm that slammed this same city, killing two people and forcing much of its historic main street to be rebuilt. >> some of the buildings were just barely starting to open again, so now it's just all gone again. >> ellicott city is the strongest community i have ever been a part of. we're going to rebuild this place the best we can. >> reporter: if you need a definition of flash flood, this is it. how fast it came in, and all this debris. a week ago government officials said they would put monitors along the creeks for early
7:05 am
warning. those monitors were set to go in next month, amy. >> my goodness. thanks so much. we now are joined by the howard county executive, allan kittleman and, allan, the pictures are so frightening. you got a tour of the area with the governor. tell me what you saw and if you can describe the aftermath of this unbelievable storm. >> well, it's hard to describe. i mean, these are people who i love and care about. i've gotten to know them very, very well. knew them a little before the flood of 2016 but got to know them well since then. my heart's broke, and when i walk through the town, it's worse than it was in july of 2016. the damage is worse. hard to believe it could be worse, but it's worse, and right now all i'm thinking about is the folks whose lives have been devastated for a second time in two years. >> right, and we're talking about significant property damage or destruction, but in terms of loss of life, thankfully everyone seems to be safe. however, there were some people, we saw those sos signs.
7:06 am
there were missing people at one point. give us the latest on human life and the impact it had on that. >> we are aware of one missing person that was reported to the county police about 12:30 a.m. that person from what we've been told was last seen around 5:20 p.m. that's the only person we're aware of that's missing. we are not aware of any fatalities, so we are doing whatever we can to locate that person today and assess the damage of the buildings, but this has been a tremendous, devastating storm in ellicott city but as the folks said, your reporter, we're strong here in ellicott city and proved it in 2016 and will prove it again in 2018. >> what is the plan to move forward? >> well, right now the plan is to make sure people are safe and make sure the buildings are safe. that's got to be our first priority, it always is, the safety of people and make sure the families are united. that's what we'll be focusing on
7:07 am
today and assessing the buildings. unfortunately, we went through this in 2016 so we certainly have an experience with disaster recovery and continue to grow from what we learned in 2016, but we'll move forward and have an insnt management team to help us like we did in 2016. right now it's focusing on people and assessing the damage. >> allan kittleman, you know our prayers are with all the people of ellicott city this morning. thanks for being with us. >> thank you very much. >> amy, thank you. one person missing there. we'll follow that story throughout the day here on abc. but there is, meanwhile, another breaking weather story. parts of the american southeast facing states of emergency as alberto bears down. this subtropical storm getting ready to slam the gulf coast this morning, with winds topping 60 miles per hour. florida, alabama, mississippi, all on alert, and abc's senior meteorologist, rob marciano, is at panama city beach, florida. good morning to you, rob. >> reporter: good morning, dan. it is hitting us right now. waves of wind and rain all night long and all morning long.
7:08 am
make no mistake. this could be a lot worse. it would be a lot worse a month or two from now. deeper into hurricane season. still, evacuations in franklin county to our south here, and bay county opened up shelters to take on those people moving away from low-lying areas. out there in the gulf of mexico oil platforms galore. out there into mexico this will cut into this beach. storm surge not just here but all the way around the big bend north of tampa, a shot for you, st. petersburg, clearwater beach, the surf there is rough, no doubt about that. they're always concerned about storm surge. along the emerald coast this surf could very well cut into this life guard stand. it's cutting into the memorial day weekend certainly here across parts of florida, and storms like alberto have a history of doing this. in 2012, it was a may storm, and in 2006, it was an early june storm with a similar track. here we are may 28th with a
7:09 am
storm named alberto again making an impact on the u.s. dan. >> we know you know what you're doing but please stay safe. as we said alberto is on the move, expected to make landfall this afternoon. ginger is right here tracking the storm and, ginger, good morning. >> good morning to you. i wanted to address it because it's called subtropical storm alberto, and i have a lot of people asking, what does that mean? the sub part means the core of it is different. it does not take away from the impact. you can see that. the impacts not just so center from panama city but those outer bands already making it into south carolina, northern georgia and alabama. that's what we have to watch. it's moving at seven miles per hour and should make landfall some time this afternoon and it doesn't stop. the moisture keeps moving and paula, you could see 3 to 5 inches of rain from the gulf all the way up to chicago. >> that map is busy, and we'll check in with you in a little bit. and the weather is going to cause trouble for the estimated 36 million americans traveling over the holiday. there are recommended times to
7:10 am
hit the road, and abc's erielle reshef joins us from the new jersey turnpike with them. erielle, good morning to you. >> reporter: good morning. we're headed south on the new jersey turnpike right now. so far so good. not too many cars on the roadway. we have the roadways to ourselves basically, but that will not last long. the navigation site waze says the worst time to hop in the car today is from noon to 2:00 p.m. if you're looking to extend your holiday travel into tomorrow hoping to avoid the traffic, do not get in the car from 3:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. unless you want some company. so the likely best bet. get up and out early today or tomorrow and, remember, memorial day weekend tends to be one of the most dangerous on the roadways so you want to be sure to take it slow and buckle up, paula. >> what about the tenuous weatr that is affecting so much of the country right now? is that affecting people that are trying to fly? >> reporter: we just checked with flight aware, paula, and so far only 184 flight
7:11 am
delays and 18 cancellations. but of course, that is subject to change, so the airlines say be sure to check with your carrier before you head out to the airport, paula. >> great advice. erielle reshef. amy. well, the latest on former president george h.w. bush in the hospital this morning after experiencing fatigue and low blood pressure. abc's gio benitez is in maine where he is being treated. good morning, gio. >> reporter: hey, amy, good morning to you. president bush is here spending some time at the family compound. he is awake and alert here at the hospital, so that's good news. i want you to take a look at the photos from twitter though because just a day before he came to the hospital he posted these photos from an american legion monthly pancake breakfast in maine and last weekend attended a performance of the musical "hamilton," something his wife always wanted to do. he appeared to be looking well there. remember president bush was taken to a houston hospital just last month. that was a day after former first lady barbara bush's funeral. he contracted an infection that
7:12 am
had spread to his blood and were worried about that but released two weeks later and his family said then that he was doing well. now, amy, he's expected to be here for just a few days just for observation they say. >> that is good news. gio, thank you so much. dan? now to the high stakes effort to salvage president trump's summit with the north korean dictator, kim jong-un. the president cancelled it last week but now the administration says a team of american diplomats crossed into north korea on sunday to talk about terms for this possible summit. abc's bob woodruff is on the story from beijing. >> reporter: first the summit was on, then it was off and now it could be back on. a delegation of u.s. officials crossed the border into north korea. president trump's effort to salvage his abruptly canceled summit with kim jong-un. the move coming less than 24 hours after news of a surprise meeting between kim jong-un and south korean president, moon jae-in where they exchanged handshakes and even hugs. president trump has confirmed
7:13 am
that this diplomatic trip is to make arrangements for the president to meet with the north korean dictator, tweeting, i truly believe north korea has brilliant potential and will be a great economic and financial nation one day. kim jong-un agrees with me on this. it will happen. at the white house this weekend, the president optimistic that the meeting could go on as originally planned. >> so we're looking at june 12th in singapore. that hasn't changed. >> reporter: a remarkable turn of events after north last week threatened a nuclear-to-nuclear showdown. >> i have decided to terminate. >> reporter: and the president suddenly called off the summit. even after, in a gesture of good will, north korea set off to barrage of explosions right before visiting foreign journalists, claiming to destroy its nuclear test site, but many including senator marco rubio remain skeptical. >> it's all a show. at a show. >> reporter: there have also been reports today that south korea's president, moon jae-in, may join the summit in
7:14 am
singapore, but it's not yet been decided. as of now, it is the u.s. and north korea, two countries that are still officially at war. dan. >> bob, thank you. let's bring in our chief white house correspondent, jon karl. jon, good morning. how does it look from your perch? what are the odds this summit actually happens? >> reporter: well dan, my tickets are booked, but most importantly, there are two u.s. delegations now out in the field working on this. there is the one that bob reported on meeting with the north koreans in north korea trying to see what they are willing to agree on. there's also another u.s. delegation right now in singapore working on the logistics of the summit so it looks like all systems go for this right now, but this is "art of the deal" 101. to make a deal, you need to be willing to walk away. so, there is still the possibility that this thing goes off the rails again. >> but as you said your tickets are booked. let me ask you about something else this morning involving the russia investigation. the president's attorney, rudy giuliani, was on television
7:15 am
yesterday. he made some revealing comments. tell us what you noticed. >> reporter: well, giuliani was quite clear that what they are trying to do is undermine the credibility of the russia investigation. he was asked about the spygate charges and what he's trying to do and if he is trying to simply destroy the reputation of the special counsel and this is what he had to say. >> it is for public opinion. members of congress, democrat and republican, will be informed a lot by their constituents so our jury is -- as it should be, is the american people. >> reporter: quite explicitly what he was saying is that they are trying to undermine mueller's credibility so when you hear the spygate charges know, first of all, there is no evidence and, secondly, that they are trying to wage a public relations campaign here. >> jon karl at the white house, thank you very much. paula. dan, as a bostonian, i know the wounds are still fresh, but we have to cover the story. king james still reigning
7:16 am
supreme this morning. the cavaliers beating the boston celtics in game seven of the eastern conference finals and lebron played all 48 minutes in this one. he is now headed to his eighth consecutive finals, and t.j. holmes is here with all the action. >> reporter: and it was in this, paula, one of the commentators said this was lebron james' greatest accomplishment of his career because he had to do so much with so little when it comes to his roster, and also that greatness isn't just measured by championships, and once again lebron's greatness was on display last night. >> james, grabbed from behind. count it. goal tend and one. >> reporter: with a trip to the nba finals on the line, king james did what he's done so many times before. step up. >> to the basket. oh, blocked by james. he did it again. >> reporter: the stat line, 35 points and 15 rebounds to lead his cavaliers to an eight-point win over the celtics in a game seven. >> i kind of just switched my mind-set on saying let's get the
7:17 am
most out of the season i can and i'm determined to get the most -- i'm trying to squeeze this orange until there's no more juice left. >> reporter: we haven't seen an nba finals without lebron james since 2010. >> no one person has ever shouldered more and got his team to the finals. >> reporter: with two of their best players injured, the young and hungry celtics were led by rookie, jayson tatum. >> tatum, flies to the basket. >> reporter: who scored 24 points including this, something you don't see every day, an emphatic dunk over lebron james. >> tatum drives down and throws it down! >> reporter: even got a little chesty with the king afterwards. >> i grew up, you know, watching lebron and, you know, asking him to follow me back on twitter. going to his camps. >> reporter: but james appeared to ultimately give tatum his royal blessing. >> i just know he's just built for stardom. he's built for success on and off the floor. >> reporter: and also credited his supporting cast for the
7:18 am
victory. >> that's why we're going to the finals, because my team played a hell of a game. >> reporter: a lot of people might not know the name jayson tatum. let's put up a picture. he's a rookie now but two years ago he was in high school, all right? this was seven years ago when he got to meet lebron james. and last year at 20 got to play in a game seven against him. this is what lebron james is, the elder statesman. >> killing it. >> maybe he'll play with lebron next year. lebron might be looking for a new team. there i went. let's go to ginger. >> don't say that. >> all right, ginger has more with tornadoes in the central u.s. >> a high based tornado that happened in southeast wyoming, and that threat moves to the east, mostly damaging winds. that goes down to texas. the select cities brought to you by sensodyne pronamel.

7:33 am
was one of the first women to come forward. >> i lost status and prestige and power in my career as a direct result of having been sexually harassed and rebuffing it. >> reporter: she opened up in this "time" magazine op-ed writing, it is a watershed event, an irreversible pivot away from tacit and explicit license to ground of firmer boundaries and clarity about intolerable behavior no longer being tolerated. and actress paz de la huerta, who claims he raped her in 2010, said she felt melancholic and couldn't stop crying after his arrest telling "vanity fair" i'm happy we're closer to justice. the 66-year-old is charged with rape and criminal sex act charges from the allegations of two women including marketing consultant and once aspiring

7:35 am
investigation going on in london and in los angeles. >> reporter: weinstein also faces a number of civil suits including one from actress ashley judd who claims that he retaliated against her professionally when she denied his sexual advances. >> linsey, i got to ask about this casting couch defense. what are the odds this holds up in court? >> legal analysts that we've talked to say that this might have worked decades ago but likely isn't going to fly in this post-me too movement world we live in and the judge will have to decide whether or not they'll allow additional accusers to testify against weinstein, something we saw recently with bill cosby and that will be powerful testimony for jurors to listen to woman after woman saying again and again it happened to me too. >> that is what the d.a. is trying to accomplish. >> that's what they're asking for or will ask for. thank you so much. that disturbing video showing an officer confronting a young woman on the beach and punching her in the head placed on administrative duty and an investigation is under way and eva pilgrim is here with more on this story causing a lot of waves on social media, eva.

7:42 am
bankert is here with more. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. yes, for decades conspiracy theories about kennedy's assassination have swirled but one of those theories has support from an unlikely candidate, his son. >> thanks to all of you, and now it's on to chicago, and let's win this. >> reporter: june 5th, 1968, one of the most shocking moments in u.s. political history. senator robert f. kennedy assassinated minutes after winning the california presidential primary. >> oh, my god. >> reporter: he was allegedly shot by this man sirhan sirhan, a 24-year-old palestinian immigrant, convicted of kennedy's murder in 1969 but this morning nearly 50 years later kennedy's son, robert f. kennedy jr., tells "the washington post" that after reviewing autopsy results for months, he met with sirhan in prison for three hours walking away convinced sirhan did not kill his father.
7:43 am
one major discrepancy in the reports, sirhan had a revolver that held only eight bullets, but audio recovered from the scene reportedly recorded as many as 13 gunshots. paul schrade, a campaigner working for kennedy, was one of the five other hit by gunfire that night. >> sirhan was out of position, out of bullets and could not have shot robert kennedy. my demand is a new investigation, an investigation of the second gunman, dead or alive, that they had never done and refused to do and didn't do back in 1968 and '69. >> reporter: the younger kennedy says other evidence in the case doesn't sit right with him either telling "the post" my father was the chief law enforcement officer in this country. i think it would have disturbed him if somebody was put in jail for a crime they didn't commit. sirhan confessed to shooting kennedy at his trial but has always maintained he has no memory of the incident. >> his lawyer had told him that
7:44 am
he was clearly regarded as guilty, that in order to save his life because at that time they had capital punishment in california and in order to save his life, he had to plead to the crime. >> reporter: and schrade now 93 has been leading the charge to reinvestigate the killing since the 1970s and it was schrade that convinced robert kennedy jr. to independently examine this case. and sirhan is serving a life sentence denied parole 15 times. most recently in 2016. >> interesting development and i think robert jr. just wants closure but he was 14 when he lost his dad. >> only 14 and the third of 11 children, such a big family with such a painful loss. but one of the interesting things about the case, sirhan
7:45 am
sirhan was reportedly in front of robert kennedy and investigators initially said that he was murdered by a gunshot wound that went through the back of him so -- >> a lot of questions. >> so many questions and maybe closure soon. >> re-examining history, adrienne, thank you. coming up we switch gears. look at this, the incredible spider-man rescue. what they're calling it being hailed as a hero for saving a 4-year-old dangling from a balcony. >> i cannot watch. seven days in the future is a glorious place. after all you had two good hair days in a row... perfect. right out of bed. and this car you reserved on carmax.com is still being held for you, for free. pretty sweet. or as we like to say from seven days in the future... ah...we still say pretty sweet. it's basically the same. moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis was intense. my mom's pain from i wondered if she could do the stuff she does for us which is kinda, a lot. and if that pain could mean something worse. joint pain could mean joint damage.

8:22 am
good morning. i'm abc7 news meteorologist mike nicco. get ready for hazy sunshining and for some of us, our warmest day so far this year. at the coast, it will be cool and comfortable for all of us. the heat will expire by wednesday. upper 70s and mid 80s around the bay. temperatures tonight will be in the mid 50s to low 60s, except for the coast, in the upper we're going to talk about a gripping new series called "cults and extreme belief" that take ace rare look inside controversial groups with former members and it's hosted by elizabeth vargas who has just joined a & e as the anchor of "a&e investigates" and we'll talk to her in a minute. you deserve a round of applause. before that let's look at the show. >> when we think about harmful
8:23 am
cults we don't think about our next-door neighbors. >> reporter: in the new "a&e investiga investigates" elizabeth vargas uncovers the underworld. how they possibly manipulate followers. >> i'm responsible for almost 2,000 people coming into this group. it sounds funny to say it but we ware of people like me. >> reporter: it examines the self-help group nxivm. sara edmunds shares her story of something she says took place in a secret sorority associated with nxivm. >> the night of the branding, where did that happen? >> the actual branding itself was at allison mack's home. >> allison mack's home. >> uh-huh. >> a lot said about the fact that the brand shows keith rahimi raniere's initials.
8:24 am
>> jness is the most satisfying and purposeful thing i've ever done. >> reporter: one of nxivm's first recruits, "smallville" actress allison mack and leader keith raniere indicted on several charges including sex trafficking. both have pleaded not guilty. this is such fast nating stuff, elizabeth is here as promised so you say that the stereotype about who joins these groups actually isn't quite true. >> i think we all think people who join a cult or a group of extreme beliefs is somebody who is gullible, somebody who might not be very bright. somebody who doesn't have anything else going on in their life and show through these reports and throughout the series that's not true. many are very smart, very altruistic looking to better themselves or the world and get caught up in these groups that are often dangerous. >> the group we showed in the piece, nxivm. what is at traction.
8:25 am
>> self-help grew and only group that is not religious based. everybody goes in looking to improve themselves and attracts a lot of actresses and artists looking to up their game to be more successful, the person we tree fi profile is sarah. she was a member for 12 years, recruited more than 2,000 people into the group. we follow her as she tries to track down some of these people to tell them i made a terrible mistake, you need to know the truth about what this group is all about. >> what do you think drove it out, 9 branding? >> of course, it was the branding and explains when you put the frog in a pot of water, if you turn the heat up slowly the frog doesn't notice, you know, you get into this group and the one thing they all have in common they cut you off from the outside world. you're in an echo chamber where you only hear this greek chorus of saying, oh, yes, keith is the most brilliant man in the universe. this is absolutely fine and stop your critical thinking as she calls it, your ability to really
8:26 am
judge independently because nobody else around you can say, this is crazy. everybody else around you is in the group itself. >> would you call it brainwashing. >> i think they call it brainwashing. you know, and i certainly think by everybody's understanding of the word it is brainwashing. they have ceased to be able to think for themselves. >> can i just say that i'm very happy that you've got this amazing new job at a&e but as somebody who worked with you for nearly two decades, i am so -- so many people at abc news will really miss you. >> i'm really going to miss being here but i can't believe i'm back here today to say good-bye. >> we'll keep sucking you back in. >> i'm happy to be here on memorial day with all these service members. >> we'll be right back.
8:27 am

8:28 am

[ applause ] >> nice to see you.
8:31 am
>> welcome. welcome. >> bring it. we get to hug. >> you're beautiful. [ applause ] >> hi, guys. >> you are incredibly funny. >> oh, thanks. >> so talented. >> thank you so much. >> i love this memorial day weekend you brought out the seersucker. >> it's my favorite week, fleet week. [ applause ] >> i saw you were -- >> diddy's back to bed party. >> how you've been spending your long holiday weekend. >> resting. we've been working so hard trying to get all the episodes -- the first six episodes out for the fans so we've been shooting two episodes at once and so i'm a little dizzy. >> then we made you get up early. >> listen, it's a pleasure to be here. >> how many of you are fans of the show, "unbreakable kimmy schmidt"? [ applause ] we want to you feel the love. if any of you at home don't know what the show is about it's about a woman who decides to live in new york city after she
8:32 am
was held captive in a bunker for 15 years. if you were stuck in a bunker for 15 years what's the first thing i would do? >> oh, goodness. once i emerge i would probably find the nearest computer to google what beyonce is doing. yeah. >> so that's the first thing you do. where is the first place you would go. >> apple would probably own everything including hotels so find some kiosks. since "lemonade" what's been going on. >> you bring up beyonce and you did an ode to beyonce on the show where you're dancing around singing the song. [ applause ] >> there it is. so this went viral. 5 million views on youtube. did you know as you were filming it that it had the potential to go viral. >> i didn't even know we were going to film it until we got to
8:33 am
work. i'm rarely told what's about to happen before i show up to set. i get a call from tina. we're doing something special. look at this parody we came up with and -- >> how much fun was that. >> it was so much fun. i'm obsessed with her and that album is amazing. it should have won album of the year. [ applause ] >> your character, tituss, is very self-involved. pretty lazy and definitely over the top in terms of his personality meter but safe to say that's not who you are but if there is one thing you and tituss have in common, what would it be? >> probably our love, our mutual love of diana ross. i think she's wonderful. [ applause ] i have been for a very long time. obsessed with "the whiz." i think she's an understated actress and her understand of character came through in both
8:34 am
her music and on-screen work. >> let's take a look at a clip from the new season. here it is. >> are you familiar with an acting troupe called choices matter? >> choices matter, they do? that can't be true. >> they visit schools and do skits -- >> pass. >> to warn against prepar tall sex. >> snore. >> i got you an audition. >> you may astin offering me multi-grain and butter because that's not how i roll. [ applause ] >> multigrain. >> when you start to shoot a new season i heard there's something you do specifically to get back into character. >> well, i mean, he's so -- he was so -- we don't -- once i let go of him i let go of him and sometimes it's hard to dive back in so i'll just watch a couple of episodes or, you know, just to hear how he talks but once i put on those ridiculous clothes it all comes back.
8:35 am
>> just like that. >> just like that. >> i kind of do that with this show. >> except these aren't ridiculous shows. >> the tie. >> right in there. >> so you have a new movie coming out called "set it up" the. you play a character called creepy tim. what's that about? >> my career, you guys -- i don't know. it's coming out june 15th, i believe, on netflix. it was directed by clarence scanlon who directed some episodes of kimmy schmidt this season and -- i have not seen the final product so i don't know how creepy i am. >> you are so not creepy in person. >> thank you, guys. >> thank you for being with us and thanks for making us laugh on this memorial day. >> it's my pleasure. >> the new season of "unbreakable kimmy schmidt" hits netflix on wednesday. now, coming up we'll try out three different grocery delivery services. which one gets there on time and how does the produce stack up?

we are back now on memorial day with the popular history channel show called "six." a military drama about navy s.e.a.l. team six and olivia munn is joining the cast as a top cia operative and michael sat down with her before tonight's season premiere. >> who is in command here?
8:39 am
>> reporter: olivia munn is back on the small screen armed and ready for action as gina klein on the history channel's "six." you are the new cast member for "six." so what is it like to be on the set now you're the newbie? >> i grew up in a military family so constantly the new kid all the time so it's a very comfortable feeling. my character is the cia's best operative. i didn't know this still i started working on it but the cia, most of the women are their best interrogators, their best field operators, their best shooters. >> the cia is about keeping secret. they are known for keeping secrets. so would you be a good agent? >> yes. i'm great at keeping secrets. you know that about me. >> you are. so you would fit right in. >> yeah. >> the ever-busy actress recently attended the met gala in a gown that resembled armor. >> you were afraid that you wouldn't be able to dance in this dress. how did that go?
8:40 am
>> oh, well, i actually -- >> it was heavy. >> i haven't told anybody. it was very heavy but i actually left the met ball before dinner was served because my metal headpiece gave me a rash on my scalp and started cutting my forehead. i was like i have to go, i'm itching, i'm bleeding and i was outside waiting to are my van to come up and i went to go walk to this van and the guy goes, i'm here for the wings. katy perry's wings. i was there when everybody else was inside. people have a wing man. she has a wing van. it was a whole van for the wings. it was amazing. [ applause ] >> looking forward to seeing the new season, season two of "six" premieres tonight on history channel. ginger. >> thank you, paula. can't wait to see that. can't wait to tell you about some of my favorite things. i'm sure all of you and that would be enjoying a summer barbecue. a lot of you if you're honoring the men and women who have died for our nation, you're also going to be doing the block party like this one in rapid city, south dakota.
8:41 am
denise robertson says their entire neighborhood gets together for barbecue block parties with up to 100 people including retired and active military so we wanted to honor them today and also our sponsor king's hawaiian is teaming up with "gma" to celebrate block parties all summer long and guess what, you could win $25,000 to throw the ultimate block party on labor day. you just go to our website for more and you'll find out how to do it. i'd good morning, i'm abc7 news meteorologist mike nicco. on this memorial day, we have a lot of haze out there, 70s around the coast, i think we'll be talking about groceries and deliveries. i'm following this. i don't like grocery shopping. >> i got you covered.
8:42 am
now as ginger suggested we'll talk about the grocery delivery wars. family signing up to get produce delivered and companies such as amazon, walmart and safeway are here to help. how do they compare? becky worley teamed up with one family to try them all out. >> meet the anders family. both steve and jo work. it's challenging to keep the fridge stocked for their family so trying out grocery delivery services, sure. >> okay, let's order. we order roughly the same items. cereal. olive oil, lots of produce. our chain, jo shops at walmart trying out same delivery. steve shops from regional chain safeway. i shop at amazon prime now promising free two-hour delivery for amazon prime subscribers who pay their $119 subscription. we order simultaneously but the turnaround types for these grocers is wildly different. amazon's window, 10:00 a.m. to
8:43 am
noon. walmart can't deliver until 5:00 p.m. at the earliest and safeway's window is 5:00 to 7:00 p.m. amazon delivers within their promised time slot. delivery cost free for prime members. safeway rolls up in their window at 6:25 p.m. delivery cost, $7.93 but walmart misses their promised delivery window by more than 45 minutes showing up around 6:45. their standard delivery fee is $9 but they waived it because they were late. we go over our groceries with beth mitchum. a food scientist who specializeness produce. >> do you get this a lot? how do you like them apples. with the exception of peppers. >> this one is squishy. >> and bananas from amazon. >> it's just completely bruised and discolored. >> overall the produce looked good. she gives the amazon and safeway an "a" and walmart, a b plus. but on packing the bags highlights omissions. the amazon order was complete but both safeway and walmart
8:44 am
were missing two items. safeway notified at delivery and didn't charge us. walmart didn't tell us until two days later with we reached out to them but we weren't charged for the items. while we only tried it once on delivery times alone -- >> walmart and safeway have a lot to work on iffer they're trying to compete with amazon. >> all the delivery services say they offer full refunds or credit if you're dissatisfied with or don't receive a product. walmart gave us a larger quantity of cereal for the same piece and safeway didn't charge us for these grapes. their late delivery are not indicative of the overall program which quist sently consistently receives rave reviews. >>

we are here now in our keurig green room with pamela druckerman. her observations comparing french and american lifestyles landed her on the best-seller list with "growing up beebe." now her new book, "there are no grown-ups" now. you're navigating 40s. i'm an american living in new york navigating my 40s. what's the biggest change people go through during that decade? >> well, the thing about the 40s, it's not one big change. it's the accumulation of lots of little changes so i remember the first time i walked into a shop and the sales woman gently steered me toward the anti-aging crimes and the thing is in the 40s, you -- when you see something that's wrong up until then you would think someone should do something about that whether it's the government or politics and now you are the someone in the 40s. you kind of realize you're the grown-up. a bit of a shock. >> the interesting thing you say the french do it better how so?
8:48 am
>> in america we basically try to look as young as we can for as long as we can and when that stops working, we kind of blame ourselves and say very unrealistically i don't care what anyone thinks. the french idea, look like the best version of the age they look. people say they want to be comfortable in their own age which i find a lot more calming and once you do that kind of other things flow from there. >> you say that the way we navigate marriage is also different in both cultures. how so? >> you know how in america you know if you go out without your we rlly emphasize is there counicationnd transparency. you're supposed to disclose as much as possible. in france people go out straightly. they think it's fine and tine to have separate interests and there should be mystery in a marriage. >> i totally agree. close the bathroom door, people. what about personal style and what advice do you have for women in their 40s when it comes to clothing choices? i have two teenage daughters who
8:49 am
keep me grounded but if you don't have that, they tell it like it is what is your advice about personal style. >> in the 40s a lot don't know what to wear anymore. the same kind of basics look too basic in the 40s and you can't wear anything ironic anymore. none of those t-shirts so you have to know yourself, the big theme to dress for the person you are. >> we know what some of the downsides are or at least we know what the downsides are being 40 but there are some things to look forward to in that decade so let's give people some hope. >> okay, the great pleasure of the 40s is social mediaizing. we become less neurotic in the 40s, less consumed with our own thoughts and concerns and able to see more people. what's going on with them. a great study they show pictures of people's eyes and you have to guess what they're feeling and people in their 40s and 50s scored the highest. you suddenly have all this information and it's a pleasure to be with other people and also a kind of kind of reckoning which is a pleasure too.
8:50 am
between who you thought you were supposed to be and who you really are. >> you realize you weren't in control any way so you might as well enjoy the ride. >> pamela druckerman, thank you so much for being with us. and her book, "there are no grown-ups" is out tomorrow. check it out. coming up next we have a celebration of those who make the ultimate sacrifice for our country. that is next on this memorial day.

8:54 am
barbecues and backyard parties but on april 29th, 2007 my brother travis gave his life in iraq on his second tour of duty and memorial day took on a whole new meaning for me and my family. >> i'm so sorry about that if that's right. in your brother's memory and honor you have taken this day and turned it into something very special. tell us about that. >> sure, so, you know, it is said that death claims the body, god claims the soul and we the living are responsible for the legacy. and so with that, we started the travis manion foundation to continue not just travis' legacy but the legacy of all the men and women who have given their lives in service to this country. [ applause ] >> you have a couple of vets in our audience doing some great work with your foundation. vincent ruiz and we have wl price an vincent, you left the army in 2014 and say the foundation helped you ingratiate back into being a sievian. how so. >> part of my transformation, i
8:55 am
deployed twice to iraq and afghanistan and fond memories of those experiences but had to ask myself what does it mean to be a veteran, how will i serve my community and what is my next mission so after meeting folks from the foundation in 2015, we talked about things like integrity, responsibility, courage and how do we do those things and do those things every time we engage in the community. recognize our gold star families and highlight what is character and what does it look like and how do we share thosed? s and concepts. >> will price for you, you lost a dear friend in afghanistan and now you're carrying out acts of service in his name. >> uh-huh. my squad leader was killed in afghanistan, through his family i linked up with the travis manion foundation and gone on two expedition, my latest to colorado and went with a group of underserved youth, taught them about character and their
