down with big fines for passengers causing disruptions and how to avoid those spiking ticket prices. ♪ can't touch this ♪ and unstoppable. this 6-year-old football player, the star of her otherwise all-boy team dodging her opponents proudly showing off her moves. ♪ my, my, my ♪ so, michael, what do you think? what's the scouting report? >> the girl has a future, big future. >> she does. good morning, america. we hope you're doing well this tuesday. we have a lot to get to including the latest on the pandemic. in our state here in new york, it's the latest state to relax its mask guidelines. that goes into effect on wednesday, no mandate anymore, but across the country, many are confused about the guidelines, and dr. fauci is standing by to break that down. first, we begin with the severe weather outbreak, a flash flood emergency in the south,

louisiana, lake charles hit so hard by those hurricanes last year, now underwater again. take a look at these images i got from a friend with this car almost completely submerged. >> oh, my goodness. lake charles is hit again. overnight, more than 20 reported tornadoes from texas to wyoming. let's go to marcus moore there in dallas, texas, with the latest for us. good morning, marcus. >> reporter: robin, good morning. an intense night of tornado and severe weather warnings here across this part of region and high water this morning has left some roads and neighborhoods cut off. overnight, a flood emergency in louisiana. after an outbreak of severe weather. >> oh, my gosh. we're definitely not going nowhere. >> reporter: more than 150 water rescues so far. firefighters rescuing 20 people in baton rouge, more waiting this morning to be pulled from their homes. on monday, parents were going to extremes to pick up their kids from school, wading through

waist-high water. >> obviously i'll do anything to get to her, make sure i can get her home. i have two other kids that are stuck in queen of heaven. >> reporter: this dad kayaking to get his children. some diners stuck in this restaurant as water rises. >> it ain't stopped raining. >> reporter: the deluge submerging whole neighborhoods like this one in lake charles, where more than a foot of rain fell monday. >> i got y'all. >> reporter: rescuers and volunteers from the cajun navy pulling people from nearly 80 homes there. and in nearby texas, nearly 10 inches of rain leaving residents on edge after two tornadoes and severe storms wreaked havoc this weekend. here in texas we are not done yet with the weather. more storms are expected here throughout the day today, robin. >> marcus, we'll talk to ginger about that tracking the severe weather this morning for us. where it's headed next. good morning, ginger. > reporter: good morning, robin. flash flood emergency still on the map this morning, close to baton rouge, warnings including

new orleans and a watch from lawton, oklahoma, to morgan city, louisiana, even parts of mississippi. if you're anywhere in the green there and get a warning, don't drive. that's how you survive these type of storms because people get injured and killed when they get in the car. take a look at this video we saw at least 20 reported tornadoes in the last 24 hours. this one shows you the vortices, you can see those. at one point it was throwing debris, it was large and dangerous. thankfully we haven't seen a lot from the injuries there, that was sterling, texas. want to share today we could see more tornado, not only just all that rain, three to five inches but the tornadoes and damaging wind, anywhere from san antonio up to dallas. robin. >> hope everybody stays safe. okay, ginger, thank you. michael. >> thank you, robin. now to the latest on the pandemic. a new hope as more states drop indoor mask requirements for vaccinated people following that guidance from the cdc. but there is plenty of confusion over the policy. some public health experts it'. right now the cdc says over 123 million people are vaccinated. that's over 37% of the population.

stephanie ramos has the latest. good morning, stephanie. >> reporter: michael, good morning. some businesses are like the starbucks behind me are relaxing their mask rules but only in states without mask mandates. new york will soon join that list. vaccinated individuals as of tomorrow will soon be able to ditch their masks in most indoor settings. this morning, a major rollback of pandemic-related restrictions across the country as the u.s. celebrates a milestone. >> today, for the first time since the pandemic began, cases, pandemic cases are down in all 50 states. first time. >> reporter: the president also saying covid deaths are down by 81% at their lowest levels since april of 2020. >> in less than four months we've gone from less than 6% to 60% of adults in america with at least one shot. we see the results in people's lives and in their livelihoods.

>> reporter: and another first, since the start of the pandemic, texas reporting zero covid deaths on sunday. now new york, the former epicenter of the virus, the latest to drop its statewide mask mandate on the heels of the cdc's new guidelines starting wednesday. >> new yorkers have made great progress, so let's get back to life. >> reporter: illinois also dropping its statewide mask mandate. california announcing it'll be the last to drop its masking rules. not planning on rolling them back until june 15th. it comes as americans across the country are scrambling to keep up with mask rules which are changing by the day and changing from business to business. >> it's all very confusing because one day they tell you can have a mask and all of a sudden the next day you don't have a mask. it's not well explained. >> reporter: target is now the latest to drop mask mandates for fully vaccinated customers but only in states without mask mandates. this morning, eight states still

have indoor mask rules in place for vaccinated people but five of them are changing this month based on cdc guidance. and, guys, parents have been kind of left in this mask limbo when it comes to their kids. there's no specific updated guidance from the cdc when it comes to kids and mask wearing, however, the cdc still emphasizes any child between the ages of 2 and 12 years old should still wear their mask indoors, george. >> okay, stephanie, thanks very much. let's bring in dr. anthony fauci, president biden's chief medical adviser. dr. fauci, thanks for joining us again this morning. let's pick up where stephanie left off, what's your message to parents this morning whose kids are unvaccinated? >> well, the same as stephanie just mentioned and that is that the cdc recommendations still maintain that for children who 12 t gti vaccinated, and that indoors they should still wear masks and that's the cdc recommendation.

will that change as we get more and more information as we get more and more people vaccinated? certainly we have to keep up with the evolving situation, george. we're not going to have kids at that age vaccinated for at least several months as we get towards the end of this year and the beginning of next year. >> okay, let's talk about the lifting of the mask mandates that we're seeing in many states like here in new york. other states are not ready to do that. is the cdc basically saying whichever choice a state makes is fine? >> well, not really, george. if you look at the science that evolved over the last few weeks that prompted the cdc to make the recommendations that people who were vaccinated should feel safe and be able to go indoors and outdoors without wearing a mask relates to the evidence of how effective these vaccines are, not only in protecting you against infection, but even if you have a breakthrough infection, the chances of your transmitting to someone else is

extremely low. very, very low. the problem and the issue is that we don't have any way of knowing who is vaccinated and who's not vaccinated. and i think that's where the confusion arises because there are some establishments who are saying, well, i'm going to have people coming into my establishment, my store or what have you, some are going to be vaccinated and some are not. i'm not going to know the difference, some might be infected and might actually have a risk of infecting someone else and under those circumstances, it's perfectly reasonable and understandable for the owner of that establishment to say, you know, we're going to keep the mask mandate up and that's what we're seeing and i think that's causing the confusion because some are maintaining a mask mandate and others are not. >> how does it change what you do when you wear a mask? >> excuse me? >> how has it changed what you do? how has it changed your mask wearing practices? >> well, you know, george, i'm

obviously careful because i mean i'm a physician and a health care provider. i am now much more comfortable in people seeing me indoors without a mask. i mean, before the cdc made the recommendation change, i didn't want to look like i was giving mixed signals, but being a fully vaccinated person, the chances of my getting infected in an indoor setting is extremely low and that's the reason why in indoor settings now i feel comfortable about not wearing a mask because i'm fully vaccinated. >> finally, i know that president biden announced that 20 million vaccines will be going overseas right now. a lot of health experts saying it's not nearly enough. we really need to rap up production all around the world. >> true, and we should do that. i mean, right now, we're taking a step forward. we're going to have a total of 80 million, giving 60 million of

the az and 20 million of a combination of moderna, pfizer and j&j, and that's just the beginning, george. i'll maintain with you today i feel as a rich country we really do have a moral obligation to play a major role in making sure that there are vaccines to those countries that can't afford to get the vaccines themselves. >> dr. fauci, thanks for your time and information as always. robin. >> okay, george. thank you, george and dr. fauci. now to the escalating crisis in the middle east. calls for cease-fire between israel and hamas growing. but no sign yet of an end to the violence as the israeli prime minister vows to, quote, to take whatever action necessary. matt gutman is on the ground in israel. matt. >> reporter: this is the first time ever that all palestinians living in the west bank, gaza and israel proper here have waged this general strike. you can see all the stores shuttered here but there's still a pretty significant security presence here. now, the palestinians claim that

there is a growing humanitarian crisis in gaza and officials tell us that on the ground, they are running out of water, sewage has been disrupted. there is almost no power left and they're running out of blood. this on the ninth day of the conflict here. overnight, those massive blasts in gaza city shattering the night for the eighth straight night. israel releasing this video of a ferocious aerial assault saying it was targeting hamas tunnels in the gaza strip and this morning, an unprecedented call for roughly 7 million palestinians in the gaza strip, the west bank and within israel proper to join a general strike. those strikers protesting the violence now in its second week and despite mounting international pressure, israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu saying the offensive will continue. but gaza's infrastructure crippled. its electric company saying the 140-mile square strip is in danger of running out of power within days. local health authorities reporting they will run out of blood in 24 hours.

as ambulances ferry new patients in, the wounded spilling out of gaza's overwhelmed hospitals. and the dead, 61 of them children, mourned by anguished parents. air strikes taking chunks out of the palestinian ministry of health building and a medical clinic nearby. ambulances taking some of the wounded into egypt for care. meanwhile, israel has staged ground forces just outside the gaza strip. this is an israeli military staging ground. you can see how they've dug in these armored personnel carriers just over there, another row of personnel carriers and beyond this berm battle tanks. officials reporting more than 210 palestinians have been killed, and more than 1,400 wounded, and on the israeli side, 10 killed and 300 wounded, after more than 3,300 rockets were fired towards israel by hamas and islamic jihad, but about 90% of them intercepted. and disabled by israel's iron dome.

overnight, for the first time we had six hours uninterrupted with no rockets landing in israel. the palestinians saying for the first time that nobody was killed in gaza. that as the biden administration continues to push with increasing urgency for a cease-fire here. >> that's right, matt. at the white house president biden endorsed a cease-fire as his administration faces escalating pressure to do more to stop the violence. senior white house correspondent mary bruce has the latest. good morning, mary. >> reporter: good morning, george. well, for the first time president biden is publicly expressing support for a cease-fire but he did so in a very carefully worded statement, stopping short of calling for an immediate halt to the violence or setting any kind of deadline. in a statement the white house says that during a call with the israeli prime minister, the president also reiterated israel's right to defend itself and encouraged israel to do everything possible to protect civilian lives. look, president biden is navigating this crisis very cautiously despite growing pressure from allies and even fellow democrats to issue a more forceful response. the white house is making it clear they feel this is best

tackled through what they call "quiet intensive diplomacy" and while the president's support for this cease-fire now is the furthest he has gone in calling to an end for this violence, it is just not clear what if anything this will do to calm this crisis or quell the criticism here at home. george. >> he has limited power there, thanks very much. michael. >> thank you, george. now to the supreme court. the new conservative majority set to hear a major case on abortion rights that is a direct challenge to roe versus wade. terry moran who follows the court for us has the latest. good morning, terry. >> reporter: good morning, michael. this is a big one, it's the most important challenge to abortion rights at this court in decades. and that's because this case takes direct aim at one of the central issues in roe versus wade. can states ban abortions before a fetus is able to survive outside the mother's womb, before it's viable in the language of the law. mississippi passed a law that would ban almost all abortions after 15 weeks of pregnancy.

that's well before viability and in the past the justices have struck down similar laws but those were different justices. president trump transformed this court shifting it right naming three staunch conservatives including justice amy coney barrett to replace ruth bader gnsburg. before she joined the court, justice barrett was a vocal opponent of abortion rights. polls show americans feel differently, our most recent poll on the subject found that 62% of americans want the supreme court to uphold roe versus wade, just 24% favor overturning it, and a recent pew poll found 59% of americans believe abortions should be legal in most or all cases. this case will come before the court in the fall. a decision expected next year right in the middle of the midterm elections. robin. >> a lot of eyes on this. terry, thank you. we turn now, the nba postseason is upon us. it all tips off tonight with the boston celtics set to play the washington wizards, and then the

hornets will take on the indiana pacers, and a big showdown tomorrow. are you ready for this? lebron james and steph curry, the lakers and golden state is upon us. >> it's going to be a good one. >> yes, it is. >> that's a match-up. following a lot of other headlines this morning including the investigation into the interview that princess diana gave 25 years ago. there are accusations fake documents were used to convince her to do it. with travel on the rise again, how the faa is cracking down on unruly airline passengers. >> but first, let's go back to ginger. ginger? and, robin, mild morning here along the east coast. we've got some heat coming at us. the heat coming from a fire in southern new jersey. that's egg harbor, 617 acres burning and much more contained. all right, let's get that tuesday trivia now sponsored by amazon.

good morning. i'm abc7 news meteorologist mike nicco. much brighter weather on the way, but temperatures will be average to if not below average through at least friday. some of our fastest breezes will be wednesday night. potential for some damage then also. for today, 50s at the coast, 60s around the bay and 70s inland. tonight, we will be back into the 40s with a little bit of cloud cover we are just getting cooking.

crowded. >> reporter: diana also pulling back the curtain on motherhood, her personal battle with an eating disorder and her thoughts on her estranged husband, the heir to the throne. >> do you think the prince of wales will ever be king? >> i would think that the top job as i call it would bring enormous limitations to him and i don't know whether he could adapt to that. >> reporter: the exclusive sit-down with martin bashir aired 25 years ago and was watched by nearly 23 million people, but now, after concerns surfaced last year over how bashir and the bbc secured it, th network is set to reveal the findings of a recent internal independent investigation conducted by lawyer lord dyson. >> if there was new information that establishes, changes the dynamic in which she made the decision to do that interview, then for many people and for the record it is very important that that is established and that that is known, understood and made public. >> reporter: diana's brother

and told abc news it was delay to a significant duty of care issue. bashir stepped down this week from his position at the bbc due to ongoing health issues. the results of this investigation could come this week. the bbc has previously apologized for the use of those allegedly forged bank statements but they've insisted they played no part from princess diana's decision to do the interview in the first place, michael. >> that interview opened a lot of eyeballs. thank you so much. now to that new crackdown by the faa proposing large fines for unruly airline passengers. this as people return to the skies in record numbers since the beginning of the pandemic with more than 1.8 million people checking in this past sunday. transportation correspondent gio benitez, he's all over this for us and has more. good morning, gio. >> reporter: hey, robin, good morning to you. overnight, we spoke with the head of the faa and he says he's seeing a dramatic increase in these cabin confrontations and that these fines are among the strongest actions they've ever taken.

this morning, from the friendly skies to the unruly ones passengers facing big fines over in-flight fights. now this week the faa proposing its biggest fine yet this year, more than $52,000 for a passenger who officials say tried to open the cockpit door on a delta flight from honolulu to seattle before allegedly striking a flight attendant in the face. faa administrator steve dixon saying it's unacceptable. are you seeing a dramatic increase in passengers just behaving erratically? commercial airline captain for more than 27 years, unruly passenger incidents themselves are nothing new, but as i said we have seen an alarming increase in the rate over the last few months and it's something that we need to get under control. >> reporter: a similar incident was caught on tape in october. >> oh, lord. >> reporter: two passengers were

traveling together from miami to atlanta, one of them allegedly refused to wear a mask. the flight returned to the gate and they were asked to get off the plane when this happened. >> oh, lord. oh! >> reporter: the passenger hitting the flight attendant in the face. the faa proposing a fine of more than $27,000. >> these fines are among the strongest that we have ever taken and the agency. we don't do these zero tolerance programs very often. >> reporter: this all comes as the faa is reporting more than 1300 incidents of unruly passengers since february. and a large number of those incidents are actually people who just refuse to wear a mask on a plane. so you got to remember even with the cdc recommendations, it is still federal law to wear a mask on all forms of public transportation and, of course, that includes airplanes. robin. >> everyone needs to keep that in mind. gio, while we have you here, so many people, so many more are

taking to the skies again. ticket prices are rising too. is there any way to avoid those spiking prices and get a good deal? >> reporter: absolutely, so, we spoke to our friends over at scottscheapflights.com and here's what they say, you want to book in the sweet spot. not too early, not too late. domestic flights one to three months out, international flights that means two to eight months in advance of the flights so that's where you'll find the best prices, about you got to be flexible so if you can be a little flexible on your time line you'll get the best deal. >> i love how you started off by rubbing your hands together. i got a deal for you. yes, find that sweet spot. >> i'm ready. i'm ready. >> he's loving his beat. >> he really is. doing a great job. coming up, the latest on the bill and melinda gates' divorce. could it change how they split their fortune for their kids? t their fortune for their kids? lg because we're the engineers who built the most reliable network in america.

we are back with the latest on the billion-dollar divorce of bill and melinda gates. the couple has often said they would leave just a small fraction of their empire to their three children. that could change in the wake of the divorce. rebecca jarvis has the details. good morning, rebecca. >> reporter: good morning, george. when you have an estimated $130 billion family fortune, those divorce proceedings can look a little different. now, bill gates has said previously each of his children will receive $10 million less than 1% of that total wealth overall, but now some legal

experts are estimating that that could change. with an estimated $130 billion fortune, how will this one-time power couple divide their assets? in her divorce filing earlier this month, melinda gates calling her nearly three decade long marriage irretrievably broken. along with her divorce attorneys, enlisting trust and estate attorneys which some experts say is highly unusual and could hint at melinda's plan to leave a bigger payout in the gates' children inheritance. >> including the trust and estates attorney on the petition, what it may mean is that melinda gates intends to throw out that old plan of only leaving $10 million to each of the children. now that they're getting divorced melinda will have her own sole and separate property, and however much money she wants to leave to her children, she can do so and there are probably going to be no restrictions on what she can leave to each of them. >> reporter: the parents of three have openly spoken about how the majority of their wealth

will go to philanthropic work, reportedly leaving just a fraction of their vast fortune to their children. in 2010 the couple along with billionaire investor warren buffet founded the giving pledge, a movement that grew into a commitment from some. the world's wealthiest to give away the majority of their money to charitable causes, something they later spoke about to abc news. >> i don't think it's a favor to a child or to society to have immense amount of wealth bequeathed to them simply because of the family they're in. you know, they want to develop their own identity, their own excellence. >> yeah, and i think what we've tried to instill in our own kids is that with great wealth comes incredible enormous responsibility. >> reporter: and the bill and melinda gates foundation is a giant in the world of charity giving to causes across the board from health to education t social issues.

at this point, melinda and bill gates said they will continue to work together on that philanthropic giving. >> thanks very much. coming up, dwyane wade and gabrielle union join us live. cannot wait to talk to them about their new book, "shady baby," and next we have our "play of the day." of the day." you've been taking mental health meds, and your mind is finally in a better place. except now you have uncontrollable body movements called tardive dyskinesia - td. and it can seem like that's all people see. some meds for mental health can cause abnormal dopamine signaling in the brain. while how it works is not fully understood, ingrezza is thought to reduce that signaling. ingrezza is a prescription medicine used to treat adults with td movements in the face and body. people taking ingrezza can stay on their current dose of most mental health meds. don't take ingrezza if you're allergic to any of its ingredients. ingrezza may cause serious side effects, including sleepiness. don't drive, operate heavy machinery,

"shady baby." all about redefining the term shade, good morning, dwyane, good morning, gabrielle. >> oh, look at you. >> good morning. >> good morning, guys. >> good morning, good morning, good morning. y'all have such a beautiful, beautiful family and the youngest member of your crew, how did kaavia get to be 2 years old and was she always like this? was she -- no stranger to the spotlight, i have to admit i'm 1 of her 2 million followers on instagram. has she always had such a big personality, gabrielle? >> yes, yes. when she arrived, she arrived exactly as you see her now but just in a smaller package with a little less language but she has always been extremely -- she's always been extremely ex-blessive and very clear, very clear about what she is and what her boundaries are, what she like, doesn't like but, yeah. >> yeah. >> those pictures, oh, my goodness.

>> hey, dwyane, i got to ask you who does she get her signature shade from? >> well, mike, she stole my entire face, but i think her shade and, you know, what we look at as her superpower comes from her mom. she really looks at everything her mom does and i think she tries to go out and do those same things so some of it is just inner, you know, the dna between both of us have created this person that everyone has got a chance to find of follow throughout her life so i give a lot of credit to her mom for, you know her shade and her superpower. >> i can hear my momma. she'd be saying, you're a good man. you're a good man to give credit to your wife like that and rightfully so. so that is her superpower. and, gabrielle, y'all are changing the way the term shade, aren't you? >> yeah, i mean, i think we were all introduced to the term shade or throwing shade from black and

brown -- but i think a lot of people have negative connotation about shade. i always looked at it as a superpower. it is a reaction to something and for our daughter haid is a reaction to not so great behavior, some, you know, perhaps people aren't respecting her boundary, people are trying to squash her voice, someone is standing in front. the television while she tries to watch it and she'll have a reaction but a lot of times we often try to squash how our kids react to, you know, a negative situation and what often happens is we then negate the experience that they have, this negative experience, so by kind of shifting the shade, it's what it is is really empowering kids to use your voice, have a big reaction to something that's not good. that way no one is ever going to mistake that bad behavior anything ee that bad behavior will be addressed and

that's what awesome about "shady baby." it's about being a leader, using your voice empowering your friends, you know, and also having fun at the same time but just, you know, celebrating accountability and gentle correction. >> a lot of parental wisdom there. you are doing such good work with the wade family foundation supporting so many causes especially lgbtq and health care issues and seeing this wave of legislation across the country targeting trans youth. talk about the conversations you've had at home especially with zaya and what kind of advice can you give to parents about that? >> well, first of all, you know, thank you guys for the platform. i came and talked about zaya for the first time that started a conversation, it started a wave inside of our community and so that's what we've done. we've in our household continued that conversation, you know, i think what we're kind of positing is why in 2021 has the

trans community become a problem for the world. seemed as if it's not worth of basic human rights so in our home and what we try to do publicly is we've always tried to lead with love, we've always tried to lead with trying to understand and so now we're in a position now to be able to knock on the doors and be able to call on hrc, someone who our family and i have tied ourselves to say, hey, listen, we want to do more and make sure that these bathroom deals, these sports ban deals, all these things that legislation is trying to pass, that, you know, we understand them first of all and everybody understand exactly what they're trying to do to the trans community. our kids are kids and, you know, our daughter in the community that we are a part of, we watch her every day develop as a young person in this world and we don't try to squash that. i think the world is trying to squash this community because,

you know, of their disapproval or for whatever reason and for us in our household like i said we try to continue to lead with love and understand we have the opportunity and the ability to be able to look at our kids holistically and not put anything on them and not make them something that they're not because we have the opportunity to do it so our voice is very important and we want to continue to keep raising your voice and our kids understand and know and we support them and leave them love and always try to have an open ear and keep our eyes open because the world is revolving and we need to continue to keep up with. >> thank you both so much and thank you for this beautiful book, "shady baby." i was telling you my great niece has it and sees shady baby in herself. that representation you have have been able to put fort.

and now his son jackie jack lawson is honoring him as a dad but the new book, "best seat in the house: 18 golden lessons from a father to his son" i day. jack and jackie nicklaus, good morning to you both. jack, i want to start with you. i understand that you are waiting until the book comes out to read it. why is that? >> well, oh, i read excerpts. barbara edited the book and, you know, she says is this correct, jack, is this right? i read a lot of that but wanted to wait till the whole package came out before i sat down and read it because i knew basically what was going to be in it but i felt like i think that was the right way to do it. >> makes a lot of sense and, jackie, the title of the book, it comes from this picture when you were 10 years old you were watching your dad win the u.s. open, peeking out from behind all those spectators through their legs right there. it's something that you linked to your relationship with your father.

>> it is. you know, most people see that picture would think maybe it's not the greatest seat but i felt like it was the best seat in the house. that's actually the 71st hole at the pebble beach where dad hit that great 1 iron and secured the u.s. open in 1972. >> and, jack, there are so many great stories in the book and there is one that took place on father's day in 1980 that you said tells us so much about your dad. you were 18 playing in a tournament of your own and it didn't go so well for you and then your father called. tell us about that. >> well, you know, like any teenager, my kids included i couldn't see past the end of my nose and i played in some 'stache today in a very obscure tournament in south florida and dad called me. i was annoyed. i was signing my score card and he says, jackie, how did you do? i went on about how i hooked this shot and topped this shot and missed that putt and after

about 20 minutes, you know, there's a bit of silence, i'm about ready to get off the phone and says, do you want to know how your dad did today and i said very embarrassed yeah, of course, dad. your dad just won the u.s. open. what a great lesson there to listen to your children. >> well, jack, i got to say there are two things about that story that stick out, one, you're a very patient dad, and, two, it says a lot about your priorities that family is always first. you even getting to your kids' games while playing on the pro tour. how were you age to manage all that? >> well, i enjoyed it. i mean, after i -- after that 1980, that most of the kids through the '80s were playing high school sports or some college sports and i really would prefer to watch them rather than play myself and, you know, my priorities have always been my family and, you know, golf is just a game but you only

have one real family and one chance to really try to raise your kids and do the right thing., iatt ur d was there but did you ever wish that this incredibly famous recognizable athlete who was your father wasn't in the stands for some of your games? >> you know what, early on, i got nervous when dad would come out and watch and i asked dad, maybe it's not a great idea that you come out and watch me because i'm not playing so well and dad looked right at me and says, kid, get used to it. i plan on being around a long time and i actually think it was a similar line that dad's father said to him so never a time that i didn't just love having mom and dad in the stands. they've always been there to support us and to watch them support the grandchildren, all 22 of them, they just don't seem to ever miss a game, so it's an unbelievable example. >> well, you know, jack, you passed all these lessons on to jackie passing them on to us in

this new book and we all including talking to you too have the best seat in the house. so thank you both for joining us this morning. >> thanks, michael. >> thanks so much, michael. >> "best seat in the house" is on sale today. george and i are going to hack it up on the golf course after the show today and coming up, the big surprise from bay area restaurant getting the boost they need to bounce back after it's beauty, - [macaw vo] pretty boy. - or the beast. - the beauty, - [macaw vo] pretty boy. has failed. the beast, john cox, will shake up cr arforn's nicestartest beast at m
