this morning a spokesman for iran's foreign minister saying that was, quote, a big mistake, and is contrary to international law. president trump says he made his last-minute decision to call off the military strike when he was told how many iranians could die in the attack. >> everybody was saying i'm a warmonger. and now they say i'm a dove. and i think i'm neither. if you want to know the truth, i'm a man with common sense but i didn't like the idea of them knowingly shooting down an unmanned drone and then we kill 150 people. i didn't like that. >> reporter: the drone the iranians shot down is a sophisticated surveillance aircraft that cost some $130 million. national security adviser john bolton and secretary of state pompeo had urged the military strike to retaliate. but the president said he is not looking for war. >> john bolton is absolutely a hawk. up to him he'd take the whole world on at one time. i was against going into iraq. >> reporter: bolton's tough talk

took center stage in israel sunday. >> neither iran nor any other hostile actor should mistake u.s. prudence and discretion for weakness. >> reporter: the president says if it comes to war the u.s. will, quote, obliterate iran. but what he really wants is talks aimed at a new deal to keep iran from getting nuclear weapons. >> if iran wants to become a wealthy nation again, become a prosperous nation -- we'll call it let's make iran great again, does that make sense? make iran great again. >> reporter: iran insists that the drone it shot down was flying over its airspace. the united states says it was clearly not flying over iranian airspace but international airspace and the u.s. is expected, george, to present evidence to that effect later today before the u.n. security council. >> jon, iran threatening to restart their nuclear program. of course, north korea has a nuclear arsenal right now, and the president is continuing to

nationwide deportation raids, at least temporarily. our senior congressional correspondent mary bruce joins us from capitol hill. mary, you learned that speaker nancy pelosi got in his ear on this one. >> reporter: yeah, cecelia. the speaker personally lobbied the president not to go through with this and he's holding off for now, but trying to up the pressure, giving lawmakers two weeks to act on immigration or else he says he will go ahead with those sweeping raids, but the pressure is also growing on the president now to do something about what is being described to us as absolutely dire conditions at these facilities along the border. this morning, president trump's mass deportation operation on hold but not off the table. just hours before i.c.e. agents began nationwide raids to round up families who are in the u.s. illegally trump tweeted at the request of democrats, i have delayed the illegal immigration removal process for two weeks. abc news learned the president called off the sweeping raids after a phone call with house speaker nancy pelosi. she urged him not to go through with it calling the raids heartless and warning they would inject terror into our communities. trump's about-face comes as congress this week considers a

interviewed children at a facility in texas and said they're left to care for each other. >> they're sleeping on concrete blocks. there are open toilets in the room. there is no soap. these children are being held in a completely inappropriate facility. >> reporter: but when asked about the conditions, the president blamed democrats. >> we're doing a fantastic job under the circumstances. the democrats aren't even approving giving us money. where is the money? you know what, the democrats are holding up the humanitarian aid. >> reporter: now democrats this week are moving to pass billions of dollars in humanitarian aid, and michael, we did reach out to customs and border patrol, and they say they have limited resources, but, quote, work to provide the best care possible for those in their custody especially children. >> all right, thank you so much, mary. now to new developments in that tragic plane crash in hawaii. 11 people killed when their sky dying plane went down shortly after takeoff. abc's will carr has the latest on the investigation. >> reporter: heartbreak in hawaii after 11 people died in a terrifying plane crash. >> we saw a big explosion and covered in black smoke. >> reporter: that fateful flight took off on a skydiving

quality of those repairs and whether it was inspected and whether it was airworthy. >> reporter: at least six of the victims worked for the oahu parachute center. larry lemaster was a father. his family said he would never want one person to waste a s single moment of their life mourning his. friends say michael martin lived to skydive and follow his adventurous heart. and we're really hearing that about so many of the victims. the pilot of the plane was supposed to turn 43 today and the crew, we're learning, really loved to skydive and had a real zest for adventure. george? >> such a tragedy, okay, thanks very much. to the race for the white house. democratic candidate pete buttigieg off to a fast start, but now facing a firestorm in his own community. the mayor of south bend, indiana, was confronted by angry residents after the fatal shooting of a black man by a white police officer. our chief national affairs correspondent tom llamas is here

logan, who was allegedly breaking into cars, had a knife and ignored repeated commands to drop it. but the officer didn't activate his bodycam. >> i don't fear nobody. >> thank you, ma'am. >> reporter: now residents are demanding action and the democratic candidate coming off the campaign trail to answer questions. logan's mother even confronting the mayor in front of cameras. >> i've been here all my life and you all didn't do a damn thing about me or my son or none of these people out here. it's time for you to do something. if you can't do it, then step your [ bleep ] down. i'm tired of talking about it. i'm tired of hearing your lies. >> amen. >> reporter: we asked buttigieg about his city's brewing tensions and his leadership. >> these situations aren't easy. part of how you earn your paycheck as a mayor is to walk into no win situations. but we have done a lot of work. we have got a lot of work to do together. >> the timing of this critical

issue for his city is tricky. he insists his campaign for president will go on telling reporters yesterday he plans to participate in this week's debate and continue to serve his community to the best of his ability. but, guys, he's three days away from the first primary debate. incredibly important. it's likely to come up in the debate. >> no question about that. real test for a young candidate. tom, thanks very much. >> tensions high there, tom. thanks. we turn to another accident at the baseball field. a fan at dodger stadium hit in the head by a foul ball. this latest incident once again raising safety questions about extended netting. abc's paula faris is here with more. good morning, paula. >> reporter: good morning, cecilia. it happened just beyond the dugout and just beyond that netting raising the question whether major league baseball is doing enough to protect its fans. >> bellinger rifles it foul. >> reporter: another baseball fan hospitalized after being struck by a ball. it happened sunday afternoon. a line drive hit by los angeles dodger slugger cody bellinger striking a woman during the first inning in their match-up against the colorado rockies. the fan would was seated four rows from the field and outside the protective netting was

immediately treated in the stands but 15 minutes later was seen headed to the hospital for further testing. this incident coming just one month after this little girl was struck in the face at a cubs game. the 4-year-old fan hit by chicago's albert almora jr.'s foul ball. the stadium watching in horror. >> you've got some guys that everybody is high on down there. >> that went sizzling off into the stands. >> reporter: an emotional almora had to be comforted by a stadium security guard, but these incidents are now raising questions about protective netting at baseball games. according to major league baseball, all 30 team stadiums are required to have protective netting that extends from behind home plate to the end of each dugout. both the woman and the little girl were sitting just outside that shielded area. last month the chicago white sox became the first mlb team to announce they're extending the netting all the way to the foul

posts. the nationals are taking similar steps. it's up to each team to determine what they want to do beyond the dugout netting. >> should be safety first. >> absolutely. i think the players would agree with you on that one. >> okay, paula. thanks very much. we have some exclusive behind-the-scenes moments you didn't see from that thrilling high wire walk right here in times square. nik and lijana wallenda are here live. that's up next on "gma". the hot air balloon crash caught on camera. the passenger now speaking out. what she says the pilot did right to avoid a catastrophe. first, back over to ginger. >> and more images of severe >> and more images of severe storms. like we couldn't even fit all of them. this was happening in ellsworth, kansas, and the cars there, you could see that tomorrow in northern missouri, des moines over to peoria, illinois. i showed the one today. tomorrow we'll have it again. your local weather in 30 seconds. first, the select cities brought to you by febreze air effects.

before. something that was happening right there in times square where people were gathered and you would think it was something like new year's eve when you see the crowds down there. people usually gather in those crowds to see that ball drop on new year's eve but the last thing anybody wanted last night was to see anything or anybody fall. >> if you can make it in new york, you can make it anywhere. >> reporter: this is the moment we have all been waiting for. nik wallenda and his sister, lijana, walking across times square. >> so much blood, so much sweat. >> sweat. >> and more tears than i have ever put into a walk. >> reporter: 25 stories off the ground, starting at either end of a 1,300-foot steel wire, only three-quarters of an inch thick. adding to the tension, this heart-stopping moment when nik and lijana needed to cross each other.

>> hi. >> reporter: lijana straddled the wire as nik walked towards her unhooking one of her safety tethers more than 200 feet above the crossroads of the world below. >> this is tight. >> you're good where you're at. >> hold on. >> you don't have to move. i'm going to do this. what do you think, new york city? what do you think, world? >> reporter: nik made the crossover but the brother/sister team isn't in the clear yet. just as lijana goes to stand up -- >> that wire is really solid. >> i hooked this pole in wrong. hold on. a problem with her safety tether. >> i'm fixing the pole. it's too short. i hooked it in wrong. >> reporter: she was able to unstrap and re-strap the pole, finally able to stand and start walking again. >> good job. you're amazing. >> wow. >> reporter: and throughout the journey. >> how are you doing, lijana? >> yeah, i'm good. >> reporter: they took us along as they offer each other encouragement. >> good job. >> reporter: lijana even singing. ♪

>> reporter: and sharing her faith in this moment of tribulation. >> in jesus' name i've got this. in jesus' name. >> reporter: the walk higher and farther than anything she's done before marking lijana's first time performing on a wire in more than two years since this horrifying accident. and nik seen here clinging to the wire but lijana not so lucky. >> my worst nightmare was before this. >> reporter: the moment nik reached his platform, he rushed downstairs and jumped into a car to get back across so he could wrap big sister in his arms captured in this exclusive behind-the-scenes video. there was a lot of healthy conversation last night on social media about the event and some people said, you know what, they were tethered. so where is the danger? i think i speak for the wallendas when i say, well, you try it. strahan? >> you know what, i'm not and there's still danger with the

tether if people didn't understand that. hello, nik and lijana wallenda, and i'm happy to see you on the ground. lijana, this is your first big performance since the fall a few years ago and when you got to the edge of that building and you looked out, what was going through your mind? >> oh, man, you know, of course, you get butterflies and a little sick to your stomach. what am i about to do? what is wrong with my family? but then i remember all the training and how hard i worked and you have to fall back on that. you know, i knew my ability. i knew i could do it, you know, i was well trained. >> take us through the first steps. the first steps seem to be the hardest. >> they are. the first steps -- i had to kind of lift my pole to get around some of the steel sticking out of the building so that was a little bit -- a little harder. and i'd say about the first probably 20 feet, i was a little shaky in the legs, you know, but then it really becomes home. i remember this is what i love. this is what i have done my whole life, and it truly becomes home. it's sort of -- it's peaceful, you know?

>> and you start out at one times square. nik, you started at two times square a little ahead of lijana. what went through your mind as you stepped out on the wire? were you more concerned for yourself or for your sister? >> i was more concerned for lijana. i've done this a long time and at a high level and i was very concerned about that first step for me as well. it was just because to access the wire was so difficult. i went up the evening before and realized that it wasn't going to be quite as easy as i thought. so not only was i thinking about myself, but what the guys needed to do in coaching them on how to grab her when she needed to get off. >> now to the part of the walk that left everybody speechless, breathless, whatever you want to call it. the crossover. when you squatted down. you said you practiced 25 times in a row to make sure you could do it. how was it to do it on the wire high above times square with the crowd underneath you? >> again, you know, i was a little bit nervous about it, but -- and i remember that i did it 25 times.

come on. this is flawless. >> what people didn't realize is my balancing pole started to slide down. i was wearing lululemon pants and i'm used to practicing it in jeans. my pole started to slide down, and i lost grip of it for a second, and that's why she said, are you okay, nik? she saw me teeter a little bit. i was worried about her standing back up. >> you had this dialogue on the wire. i think everyone expected to be quiet. silent. complete focus, but your focus seemed to be communicating with each other, and also with your father who was in the studio watching on the monitor. and you mentioned -- this blew my mind. you were on wire the, lijana, and you mentioned the accident. >> yeah, yeah. >> when you did that did you know you were over it? >> over the accident? >> yes, that you were comfortable. >> i feel like i conquered it.

it didn't -- it didn't -- it didn't consume me, the accident. i could have taken that fear from falling and never walked the wire again. i could have walked away but i wouldn't let that fear conquer me, you know. so i pushed through. >> we heard you, nik. you mentioned so much about fear when you were walking. if people would let go of their fear how much they could accomplish, that so much is possible. is that your message to people? >> absolutely, yeah. that was what that walk was all about hopefully encouraging and inspiring others to overcome their greatest fears. our society is gripped by fear and we're held back from our greatest achievements because of that fear, and it can be silly fears. ours happen to be related to what we do because of that accident or was. and i think lijana is living proof anyone can overcome anything, any challenges they face. >> how was it when you ran back to two times square to meet up with your sister and you saw each other and had that hug after you completed this? how was that feeling? >> i get goose bumps thinking about it. to be honest with you, when i got down on the street just to look up at her walking it was mesmerizing to me to see her up

there after everything she had to overcome to get there. i wanted to stop and take it all in. i didn't want to walk up there and meet her. don't get me wrong, i wanted to meet her but i wanted to take it in. i did for a moment and hauled butt so i was waiting for her when show arrived. >> how was it for you when you saw him waiting? >> it was amazing. it was -- it just felt triumphant like we didn't let this horrible thing happen to us rule our future, you know. >> and the question everyone is asking now, what's next? what do you do next to top this? >> about five years ago buzzfeed did a profile on me, and in that i said i wanted to find a volcano to walk over and i found my active volcano and that's what i'll be doing next. >> a regular one isn't good. you need an active one. >> yes. >> nik and lijana, thank you both for a sleepless night last night and a breathless night last night for a lot of people.

really amazing what you both accomplished, and i love the message. do not let fear hold you back. we're so happy that you guys joined us here on the ground on "gma." >> thank you so much. >> thank you both. and george, i'm coming over there to sit next to you. >> another thing we learned today. do not play, can you top this with nik wallenda? coming up, we have a dramatic hot air balloon crash caught on camera. the passenger is speaking out here on "gma." ot air balloon crash caught on camera. the passenger is speaking out here on "gma." o more work? every day you're nearly fried to a crisp, professionally! can someone turn on the ac?! no? oh right.. ...'cause there isn't any. here- (vo) automatically sort your expenses and save over 40 hours a month. without you, we wouldn't have electricity. our hobby would be going to bed early.

>> reporter: watch as this woman carrying two children is hit from behind and knocked down. stephanie haught said it came within feet of hitting her 6-year-old daughter. >> it was really scary having something that there was no way of stopping coming directly in your path. >> reporter: the balloon had launched just minutes earlier before things went wrong. >> that's coming in hot. >> reporter: the passenger says the crash landing would have been much worse if not for the pilot. >> those people were not looking at the balloon and he just screamed at the top of his lungs for everybody to get out of the way. it could have been a lot worse if he wouldn't have said anything. just tried to continue to land, we would have landed on people. >> reporter: ultimately only three people in the incident including the pilot were left with minor injuries. the faa and ntsb are now looking into the incident. eyewitnesses tell us there were gusty winds in the area that day that caused two other balloons to nearly slam into buildings while trying to land, just balloons everywhere. >> so if you want to still go up in a balloon after all that,

what can you do to protect yourself? >> you can use common sense, research who the company and the pilot are, to make sure they are legitimate. this pilot did have experience, which probably saved a lot of lives or a lot of injuries at let, andust make sure that if you think something's wrong, speak up. don't get in unless you feel totally safe. >> makes a lot of sense. >> do your homework. thanks, guys. coming up, a little leaguer with a big "play of the day." oh, got it. oh, got it. here's the story of green mountain coffee

love is blind. you guys we'll turn to our "gma" cover story. it's a medical breakthrough for won struggling with low sexual desire. the fda has just approved a new drug called vyleesei to heighten a woman's sex drive. dr. laura berman is here to tell us all about it. good morning to you. good to have you here. [ applause ] >> good morning. >> so experts say that 1 in 10 women are affected by low sexual desire. this drug for women, a lot of people say was a long time coming. >> long time coming. this is such a huge issue that affects the quality of life of so many women and their relationships and we're 20 years behind men. there's only been one other fda approved medication that, you know, had a lukewarm reception because of some of the side effects and contraindications so this is huge news for women that our sex lives and desire is finally important enough to get

some things through the fda for the medical causes. >> you say 20 years, and viagra was approved more than 20 years ago, so like we said, a long time coming. >> a long time coming. >> that is at the root of this? what causes this? >> this is why i think it's taken so long is that we're -- women are beautiful complicated creatures. it's our blessing but it's also kind of a curse sexually and so when you're looking particularly at women's sexuality it's like a ven diagram, the emotional factors, relationship factors and medical factors, happening all at once, and interacting with each other in a really nonlinear way. so how she's feeling about herself, her body, the person she's with, how close she's feeling, as well as her body and the medical aspects that are going on, are all important. and you have to look at it like a giant picture puzzle. >> there is a lot at play there. >> yeah. >> how does this new drug work? >> well, it's believed to

stimulate the dopamine production so in a new relationship when you can't get enough of each other you're actually making a lot of dopamine and as a therapist what i often have couple does when they want to kind of create more desire is go do adventurous things out of their comfort zone because that stimulates dopamine. this treatment stimulates dopamine as well. >> what do we know about potential side effects? >> well, the main side effects reported are headaches and nausea. about 40% of women had nausea although very few of them, you know, only, like, 19% dropped out of the trial. so it wasn't so bad. 80% to 90% of them want to keep going after the clinical trial. the main thing is high blood pressure. it can increase blood pressure, so if you have high blood pressure or any heart issues, you definitely want to be very careful and maybe not take this, but you want to talk to your doctor, as well as your sex therapist. >> good we're talking about it. >> yay, women. it's about time. >> michael, back to you. >> all right. i got it. now to that influencer couple's engagement going viral on instagram. the elaborate propose that spanned multiple countries over

multiple days has many people wondering if the sprise is really just a stunt and, amy, you have more. >> reporter: yes. a lot of people wondering that, michael. the popular fashion influencer took her nearly 200,000 followers along the extravagant, 72-hour engagement journey traveling around the globe, and as the hunt for love unfolded, so did the shoutouts to numerous brands, many to wonder if the whole thing was just staged. it had all the makings of a fairy tale proposal. the sobbing, the dancing, the bended knee, a chateau in france. gabriel grossman a vp at morgan stanley popping the question to his longtime girlfriend the fashion influencer and director of brand partnerships at goop, marissa fuchs, aka, the fashion ambitionist. capping a three-day long

scavenger hunt that took her from new york city to the hamptons to miami and paris but the proposal started to generate skepticism when a highly produced advertising pitch was leaked that showed how grossman may have been hoping to score some sponsorships for the romantic moment. brian peterson is an advertising executive who saw the deck. >> her friends and fiance, they put together a professional deck that had all the details. a hashtag in there. she knew a deck existed but i don't think we'll know for sure. >> reporter: grossman along with help from a social media expert and friends of fuchs, had been offering the engagement to marketers at various brands and agencies but claims his bride-to-be never knew about it. they both maintained the proposal was a surprise for her. fuchs tells "the new york times" i was completely and utterly in shock. i was so mind blown that this was happening. grossman told "the new york times" he paid a little under $50,000 himself on dinners, hotels and flights but did end up scoring handouts from fly wheel, glamsquad, and a discount

on jewelry from jade trau. he paid $4,000 for the pieces but would have been retailed $10,000 or $12,000. >> as the space is getting me and more competitive, the influencers, they need to be more personal and do things to reach audiences in a way that they wouldn't think of before. >> reporter: the couple's story showing how influencers continue to push the envelope in a world where personal or intimate moments can become opportunities to try to monetize. >> did she know or did she not know? and that is what brands are really coping with today, they're trying to make sure they're still authentic. >> now this epic scavenger hunt ended with a wedding ceremony in paris with marisa's grandmother's emerald cut diamond ring. however, as of right now, none of the couple's posts on their social media accounts are using the hashtags ad or sponsored. goop said it was only associated with the bride's personal brand and was entirely separate from goop. i'm exhausted after this story. >> if it is an ad you do have to disclose it.

>> exactly. and authenticity is what people are looking for in these days. >> all right. >> who knows? we might never know. >> make your own decision on that one. now over to ginger. what you got? >> can we get a discount? i'm kidding. i'm kidding. how about we do a little "gma" moment? this one is just a question for you, right? what's better than one dog? two. aww. there's an even sweeter story. the older dog is the one underneath. a new puppy on top. he just lost his best friend. also a burmese mountain dog and they got a new one. we just love this, covering up your friend. keeping it happy on a monday and cuddly. please t

a "gma" health alert about weight and pregnancy. a woman told she was too heavy to undergo ivf, so she underwent gastric bypass surgery, and still struggled. we first saw the story in "the new york times." take a look. >> reporter: gina had been trying to get pregnant for four years. >> if i had a choice to have a baby and have to cut off a limb i would do it. that's how upset i was an that's how much i wanted to have a family. >> reporter: but accord to go -- >> reporter: but according to her doctors, it wasn't going to happen. >> i couldn't conceive because i was, you know, very heavy, very, very fat. >> reporter: when conceiving naturally didn't work her and her husband looked into doing ivf.

multiple fertility doctors declined to help her get pregnant because of her weight offering no other explanation. at 317 pounds gina not only suffering from the heart of break of not having a child but the pain of being called fat. >> i had heard all those negative comments from the first two physicians, i just had to change my body. >> look at the train. >> reporter: gina says there was no reason to refuse her. her blood pressure and cholesterol levels were normal. but thinking that lowering her weight was the only solution she opted to have bariatric surgery to lose the weight. but even then she was unable to get pregnant. virginia kohl-smith chronicling the story. >> the message we need to get out there is that you can have a healthy pregnancy at any weight. >> reporter: her journey leading her to a new facility and fertility doctor who had another approach. trying an iui, increasing the number of sperm to reach the fallopian tubes. >> iui is a less invasive

treatment than ivf, and that's how i conceived logan. >> reporter: giving birth in 2018, a dream finally realized. all right, so let's bring in dr. jessica shepherd, an ob/gyn and you deal with fertility issues with your patients all the time. >> all the time. >> how do you explain this connection between weight and fertility? >> we do know there is a correlation when we look at weight and infertility, and i think what we do know from the american society of reproductive medicine and the society of reproductive technology is they really haven't made any recommendations when we look at fertility treatments and declining for women who might be obese. so the real issue, it's not necessarily just getting pregnant when we have infertility. it's also staying pregnant. >> yep. >> and also having a healthy pregnancy and we want healthy mom and baby at the end. >> absolutely. i want to talk specifically about gina for a second. her story being dismissed by doctors because of her weight. do you hear about that? is that common?

>> yeah, you know, her story is actually not unique, and that's unfortunate. so when we look at a physician and a patient relationship, the real heart of the matter is the emotional aspect of it. for anyone who walks in with a health condition or, you know, for infertility in this matter, you want to walk away, and that patient wants to feel empowered and motivated to do the things that they need to do, and that's not how she felt. gina felt she was dismissed, and that's the type of relationship we don't want to see in a relationship, but also walng away from the situation. what can she take from it? she felt, you know, defeated at that point. >> i was very surprised to hear that not one doctor, but this was happening to her. so let me ask, do you have suggests for our audience who might be struggling with weight and fertility? what can they do right now? >> i think when we look at weight and infertility, i think this is something that affects one in eight couples, infertility so it is a common thing we see when women walk into our offices but what we want them to take away, we want them to be healthy and overall

healthy and not to focus on things that are going to make them feel defeated such as doing fad diets but look at it from a mind/body connection, and what are they doing the take in the fact that i have infertility, and i need to lose weight, and every patient should be empowered to get a second opinion. >> thank you so much you so much. great tips. really appreciate it. coming up, everybody, zendaya is with us live. [ applause ] we'll be right back. it's great stuff. thank you very much. it's great stuff. thank you so much.

"gma" archives back to 2011, and this is your first appearance. this is your first appearance on the show. >> i remember that. >> i remember it too. >> you remember that. you remember those moves. >> it was my first time in new york actually and the night before this i stayed at my cousin and my niece with me and we stayed up all night like playing around the whole night and next thing you know it was like 4:00 in the morning and i was like i have "good morning america" in like an hour -- oh, my gosh and it was like my first time being on a major thing like this so, oh, i was -- yeah, i was running on fumes at that point. [ applause ] >> but that's when you were -- you were on your first disney show back then but now you are a bona fide movie star. yes. [ applause ]

>> stop. >> and you mentioned your niece there and so i'm curious. with your niece and nephews, do they give you more love for disney show or for being a movie star? >> you know, i don't think they care at all. that's the thing is like i think anyone can relate -- i think it's probably similar to like if you have kids and they don't care about the parents -- >> you're still dorks. >> yeah. it's the same for me. i try to get them to talk to me and be the cool aunt, and they're like, please leave me alone so it's like we're all in the same boat. they don't care. >> can i ask about "spider-man"? it sounds like you had quite the sets. you guys shot in prague, you shot in london, venice, just to name a few. i mean when you got that call, you must -- >> not bad at all, right? >> of the three do you have a favorite? >> you know, we spent a large portion of our time in london which was really nice. i've never spent such a large portion there before like and

really just being able to experience things and we did actually have like a lot of time off because when he's off doing spider-man stuff we had time to explore the city and stuff like that and i occasionally got out of my hotel and actually did things which was wonderful and also the show shoots in so many like, you know, historic landmarks and stuff like that so it was kind of crazy to just be shooting and running away from monsters we can't see yet because they're going to be put in there at some point and like look around and be like, oh, wow, we are at the tower bridge right now, you know, like so it was -- yeah, an incredible experience. >> the producer said in one scene you're in venice covered in pigeons. >> yeah. yes. >> sounds like you did that more than once. >> you know, they -- that was not in the script. [ laughter ] i got there and john the director was like, yeah, so we're going to put some seeds on you and let the pigeons go for it.

i don't know if you guys know what it's like out here in new york but seeds times pigeons times me equals a disaster. and it was -- i mean i was terrified but i handled myself. >> good girl. >> i kept it, you know, composed but it was -- >> you won't forget that moment. >> yeah, i'll never forget that moment. i've gotten over my fear of pigeons since then. >> i don't know if we have the pigeon scene but are you ready to see some of the movie? [ cheers and applause ] >> therefore i have value. >> no, no, that's not what i meant at all. >> i'm messing with you. thank you. >> you're welcome. >> you look pretty too. >> oh, my gosh, opera glasses. >> so cute. >> can i -- >> want to go in on a pair? >> you mean sit next to each other? >> yeah. >> are you in position? >> no. >> okay, no. you don't want -- you just don't -- >> i didn't mean that. [ applause ]

[ applause ]

>> the last i saw you was may on the steps of the met and you looked beautiful. >> thank you. >> we just want to share with everybody. [ cheers and applause ] >> that was unbelievable. >> thank you. >> with the magic. >> it was disney magic. >> it was. i mean the theme was camp so we wanted to go a little -- go out there so it was incredible. there was a team of people that worked with us and tommy hilfiger who constructed this dress. it had to be like literally coded and put together and it's robotic basically because it got bigger so i was literally wearing a machine and i had two guys with me that had little control panels that basically had to go off to the sides and soon as the cue was made they had to do their little thing then it -- then the magic happened. >> movie magic. >> movie magic.

goals and life lessons and as a kid, i had him to lean against. he didn't have someone to do it, and for him to be able to do it without, you know, that guidance, you know, it just -- it kind of brought something to me. everything i've done in my life is my parents are a huge part. my mom is involved, as well so but with my pops it was a very special moment. >> special relationship. special moment and your father kind of said it all. this father's day tweet was your father's day tweet was always in my face, wouldn't have it any other way. dad's always in your grill. >> always. always in my grill. he's always trying to make something harder than it is and he's just the stand-up guy frank. >> just an excuse to show you with no shirt on. i got to say, man, you have three super bowl rings, you're a super bowl mvp. all earned. doing things and working hard and all pays off in the end and
