governor made an unwanted advance at a wedding reception. she's now the third woman to make claims against the governor. >> this as an independent investigation by the state attorney general's office is now under way. stephanie ramos is in albany, new york, with the very latest. good morning, stephanie. >> reporter: robin, good morning. we haven't heard from governor cuomo in almost a week. he's released a number of statements defending himself against those allegations from two former aides. and now this latest accuser says he left her feeling confused and embarrassed and shocked. this morning, new york governor andrew cuomo facing new calls for resignation after a third woman has come forward with accusations of sexual harassment. anna ruch telling "the new york times" the governor tried to kiss her at a new york city wedding reception in 2019 and then sharing this photograph she says was captured on her cell phone that night by a friend. ruch saying that when governor cuomo put his hand on her bare lower back, she, quote, promptly removed his hand with my hand. according to the paper, the

governor remarked that she seemed aggressive and placed his hands on her cheeks and asked if he could kiss her. ruch telling "the times" i turned my head away and didn't have words in that moment. while ruch met cuomo for the first time at that wedding, her allegations come after two former aides, lindsey boylan and charlotte bennett, accused the governor of sexual harassment at work. bennett tweeting her support for ruch posting, i hear you, i see you, i'm sorry. his inappropriate and aggressive behavior cannot be justified or normalized. bennett telling her story to "the new york times" over the weekend alleging that last spring cuomo made it clear to her he wanted to sleep with her. >> what she alleges is that the governor asked her direct questions about her sex life, whether or not she was monogamous in her relationship, whether or not she had ever slept with an older man. >> reporter: the governor denying bennett's allegations releasing a statement sunday saying that his words have been

misinterpreted as an unwanted flirtation and that he was trying to be playful and funny. bennett saying cuomo has refused to acknowledge or take responsibility for his predatory behavior. new york attorney general letitia james will now oversee an independent investigation with subpoena power into the sexual harassment allegations from the former aides. congresswoman kathleen rice is calling on the governor to step down. she is the highest ranking democrat to do so. george? >> okay, stephanie, let's bring in abc senior legal analyst sunny hostin. sunny, thanks for joining us this morning of the let's talk about the new accusation first. this woman was not an employee of the government. how does it fit into the investigation? >> well, certainly many sexual harassment claims, george, do arise during the scope of employment at the workplace as these other two allegations have. but this latest incident, i believe, may reinforce that governor cuomo's conduct is not being misinterpreted, is not necessarily just innocent

behavior, but part of a pattern and a practice of conduct. >> you're a former sex crimes prosecutor. so how is the attorney general going to go about this investigation? >> well, this investigation, i think, will certainly start off as a civil investigation. many sexual harassment claims are civil investigations and not criminal in nature, although much of the conduct can turn into criminal conduct such as sexual assault, battery, rape. i think that this investigation will be very testimony dependent. this is not going to be a sort of forensic investigation relying on physical evidence. but certainly every single woman will be interviewed, the governor will be interviewed and corroborating witnesses, george, will be extremely important in a case like this. did these women immediately speak to someone else? did these women text someone else? did these women send letters? did they report very close in time to these alleged incidents? that will be extremely important

in proving the case because you want to rely on the credibility of their recollection. >> if you were a lawyer defending governor cuomo right now, what steps would you be taking? >> i would definitely explain to the governor that he has to stay as far away from this investigation as possible. he cannot be seen as placing his thumb on the scales of this investigation at all whatsoever. he has to stay far away from it and make sure that the attorney general leads this independent investigation without any interference from the governor's office. >> sunny hostin, thanks very much. michael? >> thank you, george. going to turn to the latest w y ccined. this as the cdc director issues a new warning with fears that there could be a possible fourth wave of the pandemic as a drop in covid cases stalls. victor oquendo joins us from

miami beach where many are concerned spring break could make things worse. good morning, victor. >> reporter: good morning, michael. the director of the cdc calling these variants a real threat and spreading quickly here in florida but that's not stopping spring breakers now concerned that they could further the spread here or when they return home possibly fueling a fourth wave. this morning, the director of the cdc is pleading with americans to keep their guard up. >> i remain deeply concerned about potential shift in the trajectory of the pandemic. >> reporter: hoping to prevent a possible fourth wave of the pandemic. according to the department of health and human services, last week the u.s. reported an increase of cases by 2% after six weeks of cases on the decline and with at least seven states relaxing restrictions this week, the cdc is warning the number of cases is far too high especially with covid variants spreading. >> at this level of cases with variants spreading, we stand to completely lose the

hard-earned ground we have gained. these variants are a very real threat to our people and progress. >> reporter: those concerns apparently falling on deaf ears for many already flocking to florida for spring break. >> last year because of covid i didn't go anywhere. so i was like we're going somewhere now. >> reporter: with crowds sure to grow in the coming week, miami beach scrapping all officials spring break events. local leaders across south florida encouraging mask wearing and social distancing, banning alcohol on beaches and beefing up the police presence. >> it's spring break on miami beach and we want you to remember to vacation responsibly or you will be arrested. >> reporter: the warning comes with the u.s. still seeing nearly 70,000 cases a day. among them albert and josie gonzalez. both had appointments to get vaccinated but before they got their shots the phoenix couple contracted covid. married for 60 years they died just six days apart. >> they were that close to being safe. this pandemic thing is real. >> reporter: on the vaccine front the first doses of the

johnson & johnson vaccine could go into arms as early as today. michael? >> sure hope that's the case. thanks so much, victor. now, michael, the challenge to re-open schools. details on california's new plan to get kids back in the classroom. according to the school opening tracker, less than 12% of the state's public schools students are attending class in person. kaylee hartung is live at a mass vaccination site for teachers that's just outside of los angeles. good morning, kaylee. >> reporter: and good morning, robin. we have seen stadiums across the country play host to these mass vaccination sites, but what's happening here is different. this stadium is open exclusively to teachers and school staff to get their shots. here in los angeles some educators are saying they need more than a vaccine to feel safe back in the classroom. this morning, in chicago, boston and baltimore, tens of thousands of students now back in the classroom.

>> we have the masks. we have the wipes. we have it all. we feel confident they do too and we're feeling pretty good about it today. >> reporter: but the doors still shut in los angeles. >> don't get me wrong, we want to go back and but in order for us to go back we want to make sure that it's a safe learning environment. >> reporter: as california officials face mounting pressure, vaccination sites like this are opening specifically for teachers and school employees. >> we're setting aside a minimum of 75,000 doses to those teachers and educators that choose to get the vaccination. the vast majority are very eager and supportive. >> reporter: governor newsom incentivizing public schools to re-open after nearly a year of online learning. offering $6.6 billion in grants to california schools who return students to the classroom at least through second grade by the end of march. but even with the vaccine news, not all educators are on board. >> until staff has been given access to vaccines and until we

have robust health and safety measures at each site, we will not accept an arbitrary return to school day. >> reporter: united teachers los angeles, one of the largest teacher unions in the country is now voting to refuse in-person learning until all their safety measures and conditions are met. what do you say to those parents who are frustrated and begging for the schools to re-open? >> i would tell them that we're just as frustrated. when you have bars open but yet schools have not been given the adequate funding and resources to open, yes, i think we all could agree that's something where we feel the same. frustrated. >> reporter: and teachers here in los angeles tell me this contentious battle they're in right now is not just about this beginning of a process of re-opening schools, it's about ensuring a safe environment for years toco. >> have to keep that in mind, kaylee, thank you. we go to washington now and the biden administration grappling with the situation at the border with mexico. the number of migrants trying to

cross into the u.s. is rising and the government's resources are being pushed to the limit. >> reporter: this morning the border patrol planning to send more agents to the southern border. despite scenes like this, the new homeland security secretary says this is not a crisis. >> there's a challenge at the border that we're managing. >> reporter: the reality, the numbers are on the rise. every day border patrol agents apprehend an average of 200 children crossing without parents. the thousands of beds in government facilities, nearly all taken. now the administration is under fire from some in their own party who say the children are being held in the tent cities democrats criticized the trump administration for using. the biden white house says they're trying to keep kids safe while they work to reunite them with family. as officials attend to rebuild what they call an immoral

immigration policy left behind by president trump. >> it takes time to build out of the depths of cruelty that the administration before us established. >> reporter: the roll back of trump policies is giving asylum seekers hope at this border in mexico. >> they're some of the 25,000 migrants waiting, some for up to two years for their chance to have their cases heard in the u.s. >> reporter: even as so many families hope it might be their turn, the message from the white house -- don't cross, not yet. >> we're not saying don't come. we're saying don't come now because we'll be able to deliver a safe and orderly process to them as quickly as possible. >> reporter: there's now a task force under way to try to reunite families separated under the trump administration policy. the biden will allow these families the option of being

reunited if they can find them, assuming in the united states or in their home country. if it happens in the united states they're exploring legal options for them to stay. we're still talking about 500 children to this day still separated from their families. >> such a complicated and horrible human problem. okay, cecilia, thanks very much. michael. we have breaking news for our viewers in the west. vernon jordan has passed away at the age of 85. he worked closely with titans of american politics on both sides of the aisle from lyndon johnson to ronald reagan and barack obama. he's a graduate of howard university school of law. jordan worked as a field director for the naacp and became a president of a national urb urban league. the naacp saying his life will shine as a guiding light for all that seek truth and justice for

incredibly difficult to look at. t.j. holmes sat down with the attorney for the little girl's family who is speaking out for the first time about the case. good morning, t.j. >> i wish i had a better update. this is a little girl who ended up in the icu in a coma after the accident. well, she woke up. now the family says she has brain damage. she's not able to communicate and might have to use a wheelchair poor the foreseeable future. again, this is an accident involving britt reid who is an assistant coach to the chiefs but also the son of the head coach, andy reid, of the chiefs. this accident happened just days before the super bowl. we are now hearing new details and seeing these images that are now explaining just how devastating this crash was. >> when you look at those pictures, you wonder how anybody made it out of that car alive. >> reporter: these are exclusive photos obtained by abc news of a devastating news where now former kansas city chiefs coach britt reid hit two other cars. that wreck left a 5-year-old

child in a fight for her life. >> she's awake, which is a huge development. likely she has permanent brain damage that she will endure for the rest of her life. she's not walking. it's a sad -- it's a sad, sad story. >> reporter: the lawyer for the family of that little girl, ariel young, is speaking for the first time exclusively to "gma" about that crash, which happened just days before reid was to be on the sidelines with the chiefs for the super bowl in tampa. ariel, along with her mom, aunt and 4-year-old cousin pulled over to the side of a highway to help a 19-year-old family member whose car ran out of gas. that's when police say reid's pick-up truck struck both vehicles at highway speeds. >> arriving on scene we have one child possibly critically injured. >> reporter: these photos show reid's totaled pickup truck and the two cars he ran into including the one ariel was in. that second row she was sitting

in, flattened. an officer on scene reported smelling a moderate odor of alcoholic beverages emanating from reid. he told the officer he had two to three drinks and was on the prescription drug adderall. >> do you believe the driver, talking about britt reid, was actually impaired and should not have been behind the wheel of a car? >> we don't have the toxicology back. i don't know what it is going to be. what i do know are the statements he made to police the night of. if you have two to three drinks and then you get behind the wheel of a car, you are likely over the legal limit. >> do you believe he should face charges for this? >> absolutely. i mean, absolutely. we're going to be advocating for the most serious charges and the most serious sentence that britt reid could receive. >> reporter: reid has had no communication with the family, and his attorney says he'll have no comment at this time. his father, chiefs head coach andy reid, addressed the incident one day after the super bowl. >> my heart goes out to that young lady. i'm also a dad. i get that.

so i have concerns obviously on both sides, and brit did have surgery. he's doing better now. but, you know, that little girl, my heart goes out to her, yeah. >> we don't at all feel like this has been, you know, swept under the rug. it's definitely on the are forefront, you can tell, of the franchise's mind. that means a lot. we hope it stays there until we can reach some sort of resolution of this matter. >> britt reid did plead guilty to dwi back the little girl's family wants to hold on to hope. they know she's in for a long haul and long recovery to get

monday saying the duke will undertake testing and observation for a pre-existing heart condition and adds he remains comfortable responding to treatment but is expected to remain in hospital for at least the end of the week. >> almost unsurvivable sounds like there was a breaking point. >> reporter: news of phillip's transfer comes as the palace braces for a tell-all harry andy meghan interview with oprah. >> you said pretty shocking things here. were you silent or were you silenced? >> reporter: in the first interview since taking a step back from the royal family last year -- >> my biggest concern was history repeating itself. >> reporter: harry compares his exit from royal life to the experience his mother princess diana had after she and charles divorced. >> you know, for me i'm just really, relieved and happy to be sitting here talking to you with my wife by my side because i can't begin to imagine what it must have been like for her going through this process by herself all those years ago because it has been unbelievably tough for the two of us, but at least we have each other. >> reporter: awkward timing. it's clashing with the queen's commonwealth day address.

>> the unfortunate timing isn't the sussexes' fault. however, i think they face an increased risk of backlash because of the timing. if they're on television and they're saying things that could be perceived as being critical of the royal family at a time when 99-year-old prince philip is in hospital and the queen is carrying on with her duties i think that might not go down well with a lot of people. >> reporter: the interview comes days after harry spoke with james corden spoke about his decision to leave. >> i did what any husband and what any father would do. >> reporter: adding he's staying in touch with his family. >> does the queen know how to use a zoom? >> yes, both my grandparents do. >> this is crazy. >> we've zoomed for a few times. my grandfather instead of like pressing leave meeting, he just goes -- >> reporter: but the reaction to their upcoming interview overseas fierce. one royal watcher tweeting, the tears, the drama, it was almost unsurvivable. the queen, palace, men in gray suits, toxic press silencing the

couple, it's the movie event of the year. cannot wait. now the timing of this is really causing a fuss given the duke of edinburgh's illness. some are even calling for the broadcast to be postponed. george? >> you're saying it's causing a fuss. what are you hearing when you talk to people about it? >> reporter: you talk to people here, i think the sense is they do want to hear what meghan and harry have to say. they are very popular in britain. i know in the states the sense is perhaps in britain people don't like them much but they do. the difficulty will be if the duke of edinburgh's condition continues to deteriorate and then harry and meghan are seen criticizing the royal family. i think the court of public opinion will not like that. george? >> james longman, thank you very much. robin? coming up next lady gaga's dog-walker, ryan fischer releasing an emotional statement from his hospital bed following that violent dognapping. who he's calling his guardian angel. come on back. is skincare from around the world better than olay? to find out, olay faced the world.

♪ welcome back to "gma." we want to get right to our cover story. u.s. district court judge esther salas returning to the bench on monday, seven months after her beloved son daniel was murdered at their own home by a gunman who was targeting her. she has made it her mission to protect other judges and their families and calls her return a tribute to her son and we say good morning once again to judge salas. it is so good to see you and we appreciate how your resilience and your strength, that of you and your husband. can you tell us the emotions you were feeling when you returned to the bench yesterday and how it's a tribute to daniel. >> well, good morning, miss roberts, and let me start by saying that i need to take this opportunity to thank my brothers and sisters on the district

court bench of new jersey. they really have covered for me these last seven months and it's important to note that before daniel's murder, we were six judges down and we remain six judges down and despite that, they covered for me and never once complained so i'm blessed to be part of this federal family. you know, the return, it is -- it is bittersweet in a certain way because i'm returning to a job that i love so much, but also because of this job i lost my only son and so it's hard to reconcile those emotions, but i can tell you this, i know daniel would want me to come back and i know that daniel would want me to represent all women and latinas everywhere and come back and show that i am not deterred and i will not be frightened or afraid to do what i love to do, which is be a united states district court judge. >> yes, and the first latina in

new jersey to do that. we know in your home state of new jersey that daniel's law was passed to help protect the information of judges and other law enforcement but in the u.s. senate in december it did not pass, but you're not giving up, are you? >> no, i'm not giving up. this latina doesn't take no for an answer and so i am continuing to fight for my brothers and sisters on the bench and i am optimistic. we've had some wonderful news, we know that senator menendez tweeted on february 22nd that he is committed to seeing this through. we also saw that senator durbin also supports this bill and also supports it moving quickly, so i am optimistic that we will see the bill introduced very soon and that together we will see this necessary change happen. i remain optimistic while also

remaining committed to the cause and i really do hope to see this happen and hope to see it happen soon, miss roberts. >> because as you know, judge salas, these threats are real. i mean the gunman who murdered your son, you recently revealed that there was a file and in that file was supreme court justicmen judges, chilling. >> yeah, he had a list in this file that was in a storage locker that he had. there was a glock, there was ammunition and there was an actual file on justice sotomayor that had a lot of open source information on her. it also had a visitor guide to the supreme court. i mean, this -- when we think about what this could have become and what thankfully it didn't, you know, didn't come to fruition because of my son's bravery, because of my husband's bravery, a lot of people, i think, were spared, but i want

to ensure that we spare all the men and women that serve on the bench because all we're doing is our job and we should be protected and we should have laws that protect us and send a strong message. >> send a strong message. you are sending a strong message yourself. can i just say that? last time that we spoke something you said resonated with me and so many, forgiving the gunman saying hate is heavy, love is light. how are you getting through these challenging times? >> you know, i have to say that there are -- there's so many things that have helped me in this journey. you and "gma" and all of the press that we've gotten in the sense that you've allowed me to not only do what i need to do to have meaningful purpose after all of this, but you've also allowed me to tell my story which is very cathartic, but mostly god and my family and my loved ones that have surrounded

me and enveloped me all this time since this horrific, you know, incident, and i can only say that, you know, i am so blessed and mark and i are so blessed that we can see the good, we can see the wonderful things that have happened since and we will never forget our son. one of the things i want to make sure people understand is that i'm moving forward but not moving on. daniel remains with me always in my heart, in my soul, and he is with me, and so i say to anyone who is suffering a loss, stay strong, stay committed to your faith and rely on those that love you to help you. ask for that help. >> yeah, amen. moving forward, not on. that is so, so poignant. i know that mark is still recovering from his injuries. please give him our best and thank you for your story of hope, thank you for you and

mark, for continuing on. >> thank you so much, miss roberts. thank you so much, miss roberts. >> we'll keep in touch. >> i hope to. i hope to. god bless. now to ginger. ginger. >> thank you, robin. i want to take you to west virginia, just one of the states with major or even historic flooding happening. this is in someone's basement where the water is high. some of the rivers, highest since 2003, others the highest since 1969, and in north georgia you had that ef-1 tornado and straight-line winds. the straight-line winds did kill a person and now good morning. i'm abc7 news meteorologist mike nicco. check out this gorgeous shot of the moon from sky7. we'll use this as our heights backdrop. it's going to be partly sunny and above average through friday. and the storm door opens. light storms and cooler weather starting saturday. today low to mid-60s along the

appearance in "wonder woman 1984." we wonder maybe this new addition will make his or her debut in the third installment which was in fact green-lighted in december. no word yet on a release date. until then, congratulations to gal and the family. and, robin, yet another reason to brake for yard sales, flea markets, whatever. check out this pretty little bowl bought at a yard sale in my home state of connecticut. just last year. so pretty. six inches in diameter. blue and white pattern. the buyer paid $35 for it and it turns out that sweet little bowl perfect for guacamole is from the ming dynasty. it's 500 plus years old. the buyer took it to an appraisal day at sotheby's. oh, yeah, verified. it is one of just six dishes like it in existence and the majority of them are on display at museums around the world. needless to say, the buyer went to homegoods for a new chip bowl and selling the blue and white

one. sotheby's estimates it could sell it for $500,000 at their important chinese art auction on march 17th. i love that story. >> oh, my goodness. yep, this is why you brake at yard sales. you're right, lara. >> george, george, tell ali we're going to the flea market. >> you got it. and then finally, guys, watch what happens when this funny little dog named smudge hears the word "hungry." we can all relate. >> smudge must be pretty hungry. smudgy, are you hungry? i think she might be hungry. oh, are you hungry? >> oh. >> needless to say the video very popular. over 2 million views on tiktok and counting. we like it over here too, right, riva? are you hungry? should we send it back to the studio? let's do that. back to you.

>> thank you, lara. that was great. right now we are going to turn to more on those troubling headlines about new york governor andrew cuomo. as we said, he is under fire for sexual harassment claims and reignited the conversation about young women in the workforce, their rights, how to identify harassment and what steps to take. joining us are tessa white and angela reddock-wright. tessa, what could discrimination or sexual harassment look like in the workplace? >> well, discrimination might take the form of a woman overlooked for a promotion, maybe she's not able to make late night zoom meetings compared to a male co-worker but sexual harassment is a little different. that might take on the form of suggestive comments, jokes or innuendo, possibly even unwanted touching or advances, so it's a little different flavor. >> if you feel like it's taking place what is the first step in how to handle it? >> i think the first step is to display -- i realize it takes courage but actually confront

the person privately. that by far can resolve it and be the best solution because the next step is more of a nuclear option because you're going to have a full-on investigation. but if it isn't resolved with that first conversation, the discomfort of saying something or not saying something is the same. so you might as well pave the way for people coming behind you and actually bring it up and see if you can make it better. >> i'm surprised you said that. let me follow up before i bring in angela as well. if the person is your boss, isn't it tough to go to them personally? >> yes, it's very difficult, it's very uncomfortable. and yet showing that -- showing courage and consideration to do that often will resolve it. >> okay, and angela, if harassment is reported, what is the company's legal obligation? >> great question, george. and thank you for having me on. so first and foremost under federal and state law, the company has a duty to conduct an immediate investigation of the complaint.

even if the company doesn't believe the complaint, even if the company doesn't think it has any merit, there is a duty to conduct an investigation. and that investigation should be impartial, it should be immediate. it should be thorough and most importantly, it should be independent. so generally a company, especially with the high-profile matter, they want to bring someone in from the outside. a third party who has no vested interest in the matter other than to get to the truth. >> everyone should know that there are protections for employees who do come forward. >> most definitely and we know that young people in the workplace in particular might fear losing their job. may fear most importantly retaliation so the biggest protection is under most company policies it states that if you come forward that you are protected and you should not fear retaliation. an employee might also request to be separated from the alleged harasser, they might request

time off or consultation with the company's employee assistance program and also and always an option is to talk to someone like tessa in human resources, human resources is your go-to confidant, the organization -- part of the organization that you should feel comfortable going to even if you feel like you're being retaliated against and ask them to see how they can protect you. >> thank you and, tessa, after a report there can often be tension in the workplace. what's the best way to handle that? >> once you've made a report let the professionals do the investigation and the best thing you can do is heads down, be professional, don't talk to others about the situation, get along with your co-workers, perform and let people who know how to handle this because they're very complex issues, let them do their work. >> keep on and do your job best you can but don't be afraid to report it. great advice, thanks. we'll be right back.

this is a no-nonsense message from three. small business insurance is usually so complicated, you need to be a lawyer to understand it. that's why three was created. it's a better kind of business insurance. it's only three pages. straightforward. if you own it, three covers it. got a cheese slice for "spokesperson?" that's me. i don't even need to see what's happening behind me to know it's covered. (screaming) this commercial is now over. logo. three. no nonsense. just common sense. back now with our next guest, he is the king of horror and one of the greatest storytellers of our time and this morning, he's joining us to

talk about his new mystery book, "later." let's welcome stephen king to the show. good morning, stephen. how are you? >> i'm good. i'm glad to be here. >> well, we're glad you're here. you're best known for your horror stories but "later" is more of a crime novel so how would you describe it in a few words? >> i'd call it stew. you know, it's got a lot of crime in it and i love hard case crime books because they remind me of the paperbacks that i loved as a kid with their colorful covers and their little tag line, the one on "later" says only the dead have no secrets and so it was a lot of crime in it but there's also got an element of the supernatural because there's a little boy in it that can see and talk to dead people. >> yeah, we say it is narrated by a young boy being raised by a single mom but does have a unique ability to see dead people. but like so many kids we see him trying to hide this gift. is that something that you can relate to?

>> yeah, well, when i was a kid i had a huge imagination and i was a little bit afraid to let people know that because they would think that i was weird or crazy or strange. you want to be like one of the guys, you understand, so i tried to keep that a secret and the little boy in my book has been able to do this ever since he could remember since he was just a tyke and so he takes it pretty much for granted, but it's his mother who says, jamie, you have to be very careful about this because there are secrets and you could find them out and people might want to know that, so, of course, that figures into the story. >> that figures into the stew, as you call it. >> the stew. >> you have this unique ability, you can get into the mind, you can get to the heart of young people when you write for them. there's "carrie," "it" and now

"later." speaking of "carrie," this year marks 45 years since it hit the big screen. your first book adaptation and now considered a classic. i have a question, have you watched it recently? >> no, i haven't. actually i'm trying to watch one movie from every year from '61 to 2021 and i'm trying to concentrate on movies that i haven't seen before, but, you know, i was thinking about "carrie," and 1974, boy, she would be eligible for a vaccination now. 63 or 64 years old and i'm even older. >> well, you don't look it. you look great, by the way. you have a passionate fan base to say the least so we wanted to get them involved so we got one of them to give us a question. her name is fallan patterson.

her dad wants to know is stephen king still afraid of his basement? hmm. >> well, i'll tell you what, i am not because i always make sure to turn on the light before i go down and then that way you don't really have to worry about what's down there. you know, we know all those things don't exist but it doesn't hurt to be careful. >> it doesn't hurt to be careful and the way you write makes us think that a lot of things exist that probably don't because you scare us but "later" is fantastic. a great stew as you said earlier. mr. king, thank you so much for joining us this morning. >> i appreciate being here. take care. thank you. >> all right. you too.
