7:02 am
and we most certainly do say good morning, america. hope everybody had a great weekend and great to have t.j. with us. >> good morning to you both. we wake up once again a weekend and all this coronavirus news. we're getting this updates constantly. >> here with a busy start to the week. we will get straight to the coronavirus emergency. here's what we know right now, take a look at this live heat map from johns hopkins and shows worldwide cases topping 110,000 this morning with at least 3,800 deaths. >> cases here in the u.s. increasing sharply over the weekend. more than doubling. there are now at least 563 cases here and 22 fatalities. breaking news for our viewers in the west. that's a live look at wall street. the dow jones down more than 6% in the wake of coronavirus crisis. the worst day since december 2008. want to go straight to rebecca jarvis. this is caused by concern over the coronavirus spreading and an
7:03 am
oil price war between saudi arabia and russia. >> reporter: that's right, george. within four minutes of training the maskt had to be halted. it was down 7% at that time. the market gets halted to prevent a free fall from happening. since stocks have reopened the dow at one point was down as many as 2,000 points. it's come back from that number, but wall street is watching. they're watching oil prices which are down more hand 20% today in the wake of that price issue with saudi arabia. following an emergency opec meeting where it was meant to stabilize oil prices, saudi arabia cut prices and sent tre pores throughout markets around the world. in the u.s. we employ 6.6% of
7:04 am
the energy inspector and there were real concerns. the coronavirus has been weighing on markets for weeks. george? >> thank you, rebecca. we begin with those 3,500 people still on the "grand princess" choose ship off the coast of california. at least 21 have tested positive for the virus as the state department is now warning all americans to stay off cruise ships. abc's matt gutman is at the port of oakland where that ship is expected to dock today. good morning, matt. >> reporter: good morning. what you'll see at this port right where those cranes are behind me is an unprecedented public health effort and it began overnight with teams boarding the "grand princess" to begin the triage of those passengers. it will continue today with this complex choreography of offloading the 2,400 passengers in a way that doesn't expose them to more of the virus. now, this is one of the reasons that the federal government is now basically begging americans not to go on cruise ships. this morning, that unprecedented
7:05 am
warning from the state department urging americans to avoid taking cruise ships especially people with underlying health concerns. >> right now, not wait until things get worse, say no large crowds, no long trips and above all, don't get on a cruise ship. >> reporter: over the weekend the cdc had been tracking four additional cruise ships all ordered to remain offshore including the "regal princess." scheduled to dock in port everglades on sunday, it was feared a handful of crew might have been exposed on a previous trip aboard the "grand princess" but the cruise line says none of the crew on the ship have had symptoms. and now all but a single ship has been cleared by the cdc. this coming as 3,500 "grand princess" passengers and crew will be quarantined for 14 days in various facilities. the ship's 1,100 crew members will remain on board. 19 of them testing positive for the virus.
7:06 am
meanwhile, only two of the 2,400 passengers have tested positive. that group will disembark at the port of oakland later today. >> after docking we will then begin a disembarkation process. specified by authorities, that is likely to take several days. >> reporter: the most sick will be sent to hospitals while others will be taken to military bases in california and georgia. president trump has said that he would prefer if none of the passengers aboard these cruises landed on u.s. soil. did he mention any of that to you? >> i had a private conversation with him and he said everything that i could have hoped for and every single thing he said they followed through on. >> reporter: on sunday hundreds of prescriptions delivered by boat, many going to the ships more than 1,000 passengers over the age of 70. the most vulnerable cohort and then for the first time in four days, healthy passengers finally allowed out of their rooms. >> the waiting has been the hardest part by far and the inconvenience of possibly having
7:07 am
to do another two weeks in isolation following this. >> reporter: still, patients wearing thin on board. >> i kind of feel like we're floating around the drain just waiting here to get the virus. we haven't been tested. we want to be tested properly and we want to make sure that we're safe. >> reporter: now, the american passengers will do their quarantine in bases here in california and as far away as georgia. now, remember, there are people from 54 countries aboard this ship. they're going to have to be taken home on chartered flights. for so many this two-week quarantine is an unexpected addition to this voyage. many people on the ship telling me they just want to go back to their families, their dogs and a normal routine. guys? >> don't blame them for that. thank you, matt. now to the family of the new york lawyer at the center of the state's outbreak. we are hearing from that family for the first time this morning. whit johnson has the latest from outside the hospital here in manhattan where the patient is still in critical condition. good morning, whit.
7:08 am
>> reporter: robin, good morning to you. the family of the patient that's being treated at this hospital behind me here says they are very hopeful that he will make a full recovery, but the impact of this outbreak is being felt across the state and now the mayor of new york city with an ominous warning that we could see hundreds of cases here within the next few weeks. this morning adina garbuz the wife of lawrence garbuz, the sickened attorney from westchester county speaking out saying her husband who was hospitalized after contracting covid-19 remains critical, but she says she is hopeful of his full recovery. adina, who along with two of the couple's children has tested positive for the virus, writing in a statement, when i first heard that lawrence was positive, i immediately recognized there was going to be pandemonium all around us adding no one else in my family has been sick other than a slight cough. adina believes her husband was run down and susceptible to the illness he acquired and says as
7:09 am
soon as she found out about his diagnosis, she contacted everyone in our firm and all were quarantined and have been working remotely ever since. bob kent lives just down the street from the family. do you get the sense that people are anxious about what will happen next? >> yes. i think people are pretty well decided that it's in a sense unstoppable. >> reporter: 32-year-old physician's assistant james cai says he tested positive for the virus last week after attending a medical conference in new york city. >> they are surprised it can be that bad so quickly and i'm so young. i don't drink. i don't smoke. >> reporter: meanwhile the number of cases in new york growing to more than 100. on saturday an uber driver, a man in his 30s, testing positive as well and is currently hospitalized in queens. uber saying it removed the man's access to the app and it's working closely with public health authorities. officials now working to identify the driver's
7:10 am
passengers. governor cuomo declaring a state of emergency and taking aim at the cdc. >> cdc, wake up. let the states test. let private labs test. let's increase as quickly as possible our testing capacity. >> reporter: both hofstra university and columbia university are canceling classes for the remainder of the week after the exposure of some students and staff members there and another school district in hard hit westchester county also shutting down for at least nine days following a positive test result for one of the teachers. >> thanks very much. >> in washington the coronavirus has consumed the white house. now it's hitting even closer to home. the president and vice president both appeared at an event where one attendee tested positive for the virus. our senior white house correspondent cecilia vega has the latest and the president's team has struggled to stay on
7:11 am
the same page as they talk about coronavirus. >> reporter: yeah, george. the president appears to be increasingly agitated this morning sending his own messages on twitter saying, the hysteria surrounding the coronavirus is aimed at hurting him politically. this morning, the nation's capital reporting its first cases of coronavirus but president trump says he's not worried. >> are you concerned that the virus is getting closer to the white house? >> no, i'm not concerned at all. no, i'm not. >> reporter: it comes after a man who attended a conservative conference just outside washington last week also tested positive. the president and vice president among the speakers. but while the white house says there is no indication they were in close proximity to the attendee, senator ted cruz says he did briefly speak to and shake hands with the infected man. cruz says he feels fine but he's now under voluntary self-quarantine at home. and this morning, the trump administration under fire for mixed messages. the president says his rallies will go on. >> we will have tremendous rallies. >> reporter: but from the nation's top infectious disease expert, this warning -- >> if we continue to see the
7:12 am
community spread go up, i think you need to look at anything that's a large gathering. >> reporter: and about that cruise ship off the coast of san francisco -- >> if it were up to me i would be inclined to say leave everybody on the ship for a period of time and you use the ship as your base. >> absolutely not. i recommended very strongly in our meetings we get those people off that ship. >> reporter: members of the president's coronavirus task force struggling to answer questions. >> they are coming up with a plan within 72 hours of that meeting. >> the ship's docking tomorrow. >> the plan will be in place by that time. but i don't want to preview the plan right now. >> shouldn't you be able to do that? >> i think it needs to all come from a solitary source. >> reporter: the president is adamant there are enough tests to go around. >> they have the tests and the tests are beautiful. anybody that needs a test gets a test. >> reporter: at that hard hit nursing home in washington state
7:13 am
a spokesman said that's not the case. >> we still are not testing our employees inside. we don't have test kits to do that. we would like to be able to test our employees. >> reporter: and white house aides are not saying whether anyone here or the president himself has been tested. but, george, they are saying that every precaution is being taken to keep the first family, the president and the white house complex safe. >> okay, cecilia. thanks. let's bring in our chief medical correspondent, dr. jen ashton. president trump's former homeland security adviser tom bossert and let me begin with you. cecilia illustrated mixed messaging we've been seeing. this morning the president is saying the media is raising hysteria. >> i'm hearing that from people literally who are stopping me on the street with the same kind of comments, but you have to look at things that are non-media. governments not just here, but all over the world. the biggest companies in the world, and the actions they're taking. schools and universities. we are just reporting what is going on, and we have to understand that this is a dynamic and evolving situation, and it's not at the polar end of extremes.
7:14 am
it's not the end of the world, but it's certainly not nothing either, and we don't have a crystal ball. so we don't know where this is heading. >> have to be vigilant. let me bring in tom bossert for more on this. take us inside the white house. if you were inside right now what is the number one thing you'd be recommending to the president? >> there is no question the number one rule for me if i were back in that building would be to get people to stop looking backwards. there's a lot of discussion about what we've done wrong or could have done better, and instead, to start looking forward. this is a leadership opportunity for the president to paint for the american people a picture of what it's going to look like in a number of weeks, months, up to a year. now dr. ashton is correct, we don't have a crystal ball, but that's what leaders are for. i think it's fair to say without being an alarmist that at least the math, at least the numbers suggest that we are anywhere from eight days to two weeks from being in an exponential growth environment. not quite italy today, but maybe italy a week or two ago. >> what is the threshold for
7:15 am
telling people in a city or a region to stay at home to self-quarantine? >> robin, there's two really. so once we start seeing human-to-human transmission it's a pretty good indicator there's been a virus circulating in their community for some period of time. but death is the really unfortunately lagging indicator here. once we see a death, it's pretty certain that we've had that virus circulating for a period of weeks. now, that's not perfect science but it's a really good indicator of when we should start locking down. >> and jen, okay. we all know we're supposed to be washing our hands constantly, not touching our face. that's what an individual can do. as parents are looking ahead to spring break, cancellations, what kind of things should we be thinking about? >> to dovetail off tom's comment we can start to act on a community level, and a microcosm whether it's your family or community, and try not to just protect ourselves, but buffer those vulnerable populations. for me i'm keeping my college age kids away from my 80-year-old parents for awhile. >> jen ashton, thanks very much.
7:16 am
you all can send in your questions on twitter and instagram all morning long with the #askgma. dr. jen will answer some live in our next half hour. robin? meanwhile, george, the race for the white house now. voters will head to the polls in six states tomorrow. joe biden heading into the primaries with big momentum and new endorsements as bernie sanders takes a make or break stand in the state of michigan. eva pilgrim has the latest. >> get up. let's take back this country. >> we are capable of making sweeping change if we have the courage to do it. this morning, the last two men standing for the nomination are gearing up for another set of critical contests. >> the next president of the united states, joe biden. >> reporter: joe biden still riding high after a super tuesday surge boosted by support from black voters. >> if i'm the comeback kid there's only one reason i've come back, the african-american community all around the
7:17 am
country. [ applause ] >> reporter: the former vice president picking up another big name supporter. >> join me in supporting joe and let's get this done. >> reporter: senator kamala harris releasing this video backing biden, his ninth endorsement from a former rival. senator bernie sanders is hoping to chip away at biden's overwhelming support from black voters picking up an endorsement from civil rights icon jessie jackson. >> i stand with him because he stands with you. >> reporter: the biggest prize up for grabs this week is michigan. both candidates campaigning hard, hoping to prove their popularity with the rust belt voters who could decide the election in november. >> let us go forward on tuesday, let's win here in michigan. >> reporter: but for sanders in desperate need of a big win, the stakes here couldn't be higher. >> we are taking on the political establishment. we're going to win this election.
7:18 am
>> reporter: and just moments ago cory booker officially endorsing joe biden tweeting he'll show us there is more that unites us than divides us. guys? >> wow. tenth former candidate to endorse joe biden. thank you, eva. we're following a lot of other stories this morning including harry and meghan's final royal engagement. that's happening today. more on the coronavirus and massive quarantine in italy, millions on lockdown and big questions about major sporting events. first, let's check in with ginger. good morning. >> who is ready for spring? should we do this? valentine, nebraska, hit 80 degrees. their first of the season. look where we're going today. some of the warmer, we had a peek in january. near 70 in new york city. your local weather in 30 seconds. first, the select cities sponsored by carmax.

7:32 am
george. it really does feel like a silent army of infection is creeping across italy. people only now starting to realize the gravity of the situation. the pope here in the vatican has canceled all of his public appearances as the government introduces some of the most radical measures anywhere in the world. new, extraordinary measures to contain covid-19 this morning in italy. a quarter of the population, some 16 million people under quarantine. authorities say anyone living in the northern lombardy region needs special permission to travel. that's after the death toll surged to 366. 133 people dying in just 24 hours. according to the prime minister, the more than 6,000 cases represent a national emergency. with the entire lombardy region on lockdown, tourist meccas closed for business. both cities in the new red zone. the usually bustling tourist

7:34 am
question -- could it have an impact on the college basketball march madness tournament that's set to start next week? will reeve here with the latest for us. good morning, will. >> yeah, good morning, t.j. already in italy some professional soccer matches have been played in empty stadiums. u.s. leagues are now considering if or when they will have to take the same measures. yesterday, organizers of a big tennis tournament in california decided to cancel the whole thing. overnight the spread of coronavirus leading officials to abruptly cancel one of the biggest tennis tournaments in the world. rafa nadal and novak djokovic were set to dual for the number one ranking in the world until local officials declared a state of emergency due to the virus, prompting organizers to call off the tournament. and just a week away from the ncaa men's basketball tournament, march madness will go on for now. >> at this time we are definitively planning on running the tournament at all 14 sites with fans from the first to the
7:35 am
final four. we are certainly mindful of the challenges nationally with covid-19. >> reporter: other leagues weighing the dramatic step of barring fans from games, including the nba which is calling on teams to have contingency plans by tomorrow that would limit attendees to only what is deemed essential staff. >> i ain't playing if i ain't got the fans in the crowd. that's who i play for. >> reporter: right now, major league baseball is not canceling any games or tickets, but with opening day just weeks away, the league is taking steps to keep the fans and players safe like handing out pre-autographed baseballs and cards. the biggest question looms over the event on the largest scale, the fate of the olympics in tokyo. they're scheduled for july. right now they're still on but organizers say they're following guidance from the world health organization. the chief medical officers for all of the national olympic committees have a planning meeting scheduled for later this month. item number one sure to be what's going on around the world.
7:36 am
>> i can imagine so. thank you, will. let's turn now back to our chief medical associate dr. jennifer ashton and, dr. jen, you're hearing from people. what are you hearing right now? >> so, robin, we're getting tons of questions and i'm here with my team of resident doctors answering as many as we can. the first question comes from twitter, and another robin asked, i have a college daughter living in a sorority house. i'm worried the virus would affect her more. do i have to keep her home until this virus clears up? my answer to you, it depends where she is. it depends how much known coronavirus is in that area and it really depends on your individual risk tolerance. here in new york city i have a son at columbia university. they've just canceled classes for two days. we found out about that late last night. i did bring him home to my apartment which granted is just 60 blocks away. but again, i think it's a matter of taking low-risk steps that you personally can take, and not only could it help, but it will probably alleviate some anxiety too.
7:37 am
>> another question, jen, this is coming from jamie. you kind of answered this in our first half hour. she asks i have two elderly parents in relatively good health. should i be quarantining my sons, my kids from them as well? >> again, what i think is important about that, again, it's, a, common sense, b, risk benefit. it's low risk, and may have some benefit for those elderly parents and grandparents not just against coronavirus, but other viruses like influenza. the last thing is we know that these measures, these social distancing measures as we call them are not only important to protect you and i individually, but to act as a buffer to protect the more vulnerable populations. hopefully that helps jamie. >> jen, there's somebody else, beth, who writes -- and this is something people have been asking us, she says, to you, dr. ashton, have you been changing any of your travel plans? do you think it's safe to fly? >> well, you know, this week, robin, i have to fly on wednesday to florida to give a
7:38 am
speech. i am going. i am still going about my day-to-day life with some basic common sense precautions. we can't shut down the way we live, but i think we can increase our awareness and take steps that don't dramatically affect, you know, what we're doing, but again, low risk and may have some benefit. so i'm still going, but i'll keep you posted. >> there is a question i know that you are getting, a lot of us are getting, and i want to ask you this, and this is from samantha. samantha writes, all of this news is scaring me. is coronavirus being overhyped? >> well, listen, we won't know the answer to that until it's in our rearview mirror. it is a new virus. we don't have a track record. we are just over two months into this. but based on what has happened in other parts of the world, i think that a lot of the reaction is appropriate from a medical and scientific standpoint. and i think it's also important that this is stressful and it
7:39 am
can cause anxiety and fear and that's why i think it's always best to respond based on evidence and not emotion. and it's very important to do that in medicine and science just like it is in life. >> don't just want to contain the virus. want to contain the fear around it as well. >> 100%. >> the reaction for people. we all have to keep that in mind. i know, jen, you'll be back with us in our next hour. thank you. coming up we have a royal farewell. harry and meghan making their final appearances as royals today. to us at best foods,

8:14 am
cruise, which, of course, now the government is cautioning people to avoid. the cdc actually rates and scores every cruise line in the country so they can go to the cdc home page, go to vsp, vessel sanitation program, and look at the score of the individual cruise ship you are considering. and for perspective here, george, the "diamond princess" in japan was scored a 98 and we saw what happened on that ship. the "grand princess" that's off the coast of california here, got a 93 the last time it was evaluated by the cdc. >> wow. we also have a question from stephanie. she asks if someone needs to get tested how do they go about doing it? i don't even know where to go. >> so many people are hearing that. at my medical office, i don't even have tests nor will i or should i. first if you are concerned that you may have a case of coronavirus with mild symptoms or no symptoms, don't go anywhere, call first. obviously people having severe symptoms of any kind do need to go to an emergency room but the testing process now at the state

>> thank you. thank you. >> what are we talking about here, "powershift"? why is that what you want to talk about? >> i'm talking about there's three steps to having power and a lot of people think other people have taken their power away or they don't have power. i'll give you an example. in today's environment i work with a company with a virtual assistant that works with me and she gets to stay at home. once she went back to work they said you can't work half hours after maternity leave. what does she do now? she stays home, doesn't have to track through the snow, come here around a lot of other people because i know a lot are afraid of traveling and makes the same amount of money at home being the virtual assistant. >> we have to train ourselves to do that. >> this is the perfect time to create a power shift as we're going through all these power shifts. that's what i did when i was working at red lobster all the way to when i'm on "shark tank." >> three things. make it plain. the audience will help us. the first thing we're going to talk about, and show it to us. we're talking about influence. what do we mean here? >> all right. so in negotiation you have to
8:25 am
build influence first, right? so your reputation is like a skyline. when i'm driving through i see it from anywhere and everywhere. pitch me 90 seconds in the elevator i will look at my phone after i leave and i need to see what you have been doing, who you have been with, to even know if i'm going to work with you or not going to work with you. you'll never know i didn't call you if the wrong crap is on social media and on, you know, the internet. >> okay, that's not just -- that's for people in the public eye, public figures. it's all of us. >> we'll research you immediately on our phones. >> number two, also, audience, on the back side here, what's the next one? negotiation. >> life is a series of negotiations. the only reason why some are more successful is what they negotiate. negotiation is not this hard transaction. it is the what am i going to do for you to make it easier. when people hear no they don't think what is in the way? how can i make this more valuable for you? they're always thinking about themselves. don't tell anybody your problems. 20% of the people don't care and the other 80% are really happy you have them. >> the last one here -- [ applause ] audience, this is my last one.
8:26 am
45 seconds. this is the last one i have here and that is relationships. >> relationships, you have to nurture the relationship afterwards. the first transaction usually never is in the first meeting. it's after you do that transaction, the ten other things you do after that. a lot of people forget that. that pays the best dividends. >> influence, negotiations. relationships. all right. that's your power. this man has so much power. i worked at red lobster too. i didn't know that. we have that in common. >> all right. my man. >> "powershift" is out tomorrow. daymond, good to see you. >> thank you for having me. >> thank you so much. stay with us, we have nick offerman live. [ applause ]

we'll have another abc 7 news update in about 30 minutes, but you can always find the ♪ i can make your hands clap back here on "gma," y'all have been a wonderful audience all morning. [ applause ] thank you very much for being here. our gift to you right now is this man right here, nick offerman. [ applause ] you know him best as ron swanson, "parks and recreation," right, right, right? and so much more. now he's starring in a new show called "devs." you look really good. >> thank you. >> nice. >> you don't look so bad yourself. >> thank you very much, sir. it was kind of destined that you would have this career because as far back as high school -- yes, we'll pull it up, the high school yearbook, you were voted most likely to host the david
8:31 am
letterman show. >> yes, and i was not happy about it because they had all these categories and one of them -- i wanted to be an actor and one of the categories was most likely to be the next tom cruise. and that went to the cutest guy in our class, todd reich, that bastard. >> you still remember his name. >> yeah, and i got, you know, the seconds of nothing but the letterman show. >> things worked out for you. > it worked out all right. >> they were right in a way because you are hosting a talk show where you interview people in bed with your wife. >> that's right. >> so similar. "in bed with nick and megan." [ applause ] >> now, do you find you're getting -- do you get more from people in bed? [ laughter ] >> want to rephrase that? >> i'm going to keep this tone specifically prelunch.
8:32 am
but, yes, we find that our guests really put out. [ laughter and applause ] i mean, their conversation is, you know -- >> close. >> flows? >> yeah. >> it is a very funny concept. do you have a dream guest? >> dream guest, well, given what's gone before here i think it would be great to have -- see dave letterman's whiskers gracing -- >> that would be a nice full circle to end this conversation. >> let's continue the conversation with "devs." >> thank you. >> you play a serious role here. what we appreciate, you're obviously quite funny, quite talented and to play a role like this as an actor, you must appreciate being able to do so many different things. >> as an actor, you're just very
8:33 am
grateful if you get a job because that means you get medical insurance and that means i can get my teeth fixed. but i come from chicago theater and when you work in the theater, you do whatever is on the season so that might be shakespeare or a crazy comedy or sam shepard play or these days i guess that would be a tracy letts play and so then you become known for something if you're lucky enough to get a "parks and recreation," people say, oh, he must be just a jackass. but you say, well, i can also speak slowly and do serious work. so i'm grateful any time i get to work on good writing and this is certainly a nice piece of writing. [ applause ] >> we're going to show everybody right now. >> we're exploring the potential of our quantum computer system. >> that's a little vague. vague sounds like you don't like
8:34 am
attention. why is that? >> it distracts us from our work. >> the distractions are trivial in comparison to your work? >> yes. >> isn't that the perfect argument as to why your company needs government oversight? >> but you don't want oversight, senator. you want control. [ applause ] >> how much did you know about that world before you dove into this? >> not a lot. our writer, our filmmaker, alex garland is just a genius and he sat us down and can talk you through a college course on quantum computing and he set me up very handsomely and i was able to then ago like a smart person. >> with a great haircut. >> thank you, that's generous. >> such a diverse role for you. >> oh, it's such a blast. and he made the films "ex machina" and "annihilation."
8:35 am
while you're shooting these scenes, i was already a fan of these movies. i'm thinking -- >> you can feel it. >> you're making me look so trippy. >> your credits are amazing. we couldn't believe 15 years ago you played a bad guy in "miss congeniality." >> that's right. >> and you said your wife was not happy with sandy, sandra bullock at the time. >> yeah. >> why? >> well, megan was very excited for me to get this job but i was really thrilled to get to do this fight scene with sandra. but we did it enough that she sent me home with a huge bruise on my midsection because, you know, she would pull -- she would kick me in the stomach and she would pull it like a proper stunt person. but after you do that 32 times even though you're pulling it she's wearing high heeled vegas
8:36 am
showgirl boots so she sent me home with a bruise and megan was not happy about that but we smoothed it all over. we're all friends. >> you gave us a great scene. [ applause ] you put out. we'll wrap it up. >> and a great new show as well, "devs" streaming now exclusively on fx on hulu. thanks for coming in. [ applause ] come on back.

8:39 am
here now "the new york times" best-selling author glennon doyle. an activist. a mother of three. she is the wife of soccer megastar abby wambach who is out there. [ applause ] yes. yes. she always wants to know if you're talking about her. >> always. >> your new memoir is called "untamed." please welcome glennon doyle back to "gma." [ applause ] i was telling you, this is your third memoir. i started reading it over the weekend and i found myself rushing through because i wanted to have this conversation and i stopped because i want to enjoy -- i was reading it too fast. it is a page turner.
8:40 am
just tell people what you mean by untamed first? well, i mean i wrote my first two memoirs and i think that with those two i was still trying to be a good girl and untamed is really the book about how i became a free woman. >> talk about that because your first two, you talk about how you were a woman seeking redemption after addiction and resurrecting your marriage at the time. >> uh-huh. >> how did you find this courage to even dig deeper? the self-discovery, glennon, is something unprecedened. >> yeah, because in your 40s, it was about -- it was about
8:41 am
redeeming my marriage and "untamed" was about finding myself, right? i mean, a few years ago i -- abby walked into a room and i looked at her and three words rose inside of me there she is. and at first i thought that those words came to me from on high and now i know they came to me from within that i was finally hearing from the girl i was supposed to be or who i was before the world told me who i should be, right, that i was finally hearing from my true voice and still i was scared to follow that voice because i was tamed into believing that if i do what's right for me that it will hurt my people. right? i was staying in a bad marriage for my children. and then one day i was braiding my daughter's hair and i looked at her and i thought i am staying this this marriage for her. but would i want this marriage for her? if i would not want this marriage for her, why am i modeling bad love and calling that good mothering? right? i think as women we are tamed to believe that motherhood should be martyrdom, right? but what if motherhood is not about slowly abandoning yourself? what if motherhood is not about
8:42 am
showing your children how to slowly die but how to bravely live, right? >> right. >> what if our children will only allow themselves to live as fully as we do. and so it is our duty to not settle for any relationship that is less beautiful than the one we would want for our babies. >> amen, amen. [ applause ] it's so true. i love how you said the braver you get, the luckier you seem. it is monday motivation time and we wanted to hear from some viewers an so we want to bring somebody in. i think you will appreciate this. her name is lauren, 41 years old from south carolina. she is married with three kids and she has a question for you. >> okay. >> hi, glennon. i love the way you've written about freeing yourself and getting untamed. can you share some of the ways both positive and negative that people in your life have responded to your self-liberation? >> oh, wow. >> mostly people have been curious and intrigued and wonderful. i do hear often the same thing
8:43 am
that any bold public woman hears which sounds something like, i don't know, she just rubs me the wrong way. i just don't like her. i can't put my finger on it. right? so i can put my finger on it. i think that -- well, we know that the more successful, the more joyful, the more bold a man is, the more people like and trust him. and the more successful, bold and joyful a woman becomes, the less people like and trust her, right? and that's because bold women, they challenge our cultural expectations of women, that women should stay small and quiet and grateful. and so i think right now we need to really question that knee-jerk reaction and need to stop dismissing untamed women and start supporting them, raising them and electing them. [ applause ] >> how do you really feel? >> yes. >> you tell a really great story early on in the book about how that is instilled in us, boys
8:44 am
and girls, at a very young age. and you did that by going into your shower, your kids' shower and the shampoo bottles and how different they were for your son and shampoo bottles for your daughters. >> i have a boy and two girls until they tell me different and i went to their shower and saw the boy's bottles were red and blue and bold and said, all these violent big words on it. i said is my son trying to prepare for war or get clean and the girls were all pink and purple and skinny and said things like light and alluring and pure. and i thought, oh, my gosh, we are tamed out of our full humanity before we get out of the shower in the morning. we bring those messages into our house. >> gosh. [ applause ] you know, so how has the reaction been from your family? >> oh, so good. i mean our family is a beautiful family. you know, i have this -- i was tamed to believe that a divorced family is a broken family, right? and what i can tell you right
8:45 am
now is that, you know, abby was not added to our family. she was missing from our family. >> oh. >> and we are not a broken family. we are a fixed family. right? [ applause ] >> thank you. okay. she's getting a lot of air time right now. a lot of split screens. >> she always does. she deserves it. >> but beautiful. "untamed." i cannot wait to read more of it. i started reading it and couldn't put it down. available tomorrow plus everyone here, you're going home with a copy. [ cheers and applause ] yes, you are. let's get over now to ginger. [ cheers and applause ] >> i have not read a word and i'm feeling untamed already. i can tell you that.
