california. and now 17 million americans are under snow and wind alerts as the final storm for california surges east. ginger will have the latest on all that. but we begin with the mass shooting at a martin luther king jr. day event in florida. eight people were shot and one critically injured as gunfire broke out sending people running for cover. victor oquendo is on the scene in fort pierce, florida, with the latest. good morning, victor. >> reporter: good morning, michael. it all happened at this park. more than a thousand people were gathered for a block party and a car show. now you can see all this trash and debris left behind by those who were scrambling to safety. what was supposed to be a day of remembrance and celebration, turning violent. this morning, what was meant to be a day to celebrate peace and martin luther king jr.'s legacy erupting in violence. chaos in fort pierce, florida, after shots were fired during a mlk car show and family fun day event. this bystander video capturing the moment shots were fired. police are now investigating.
7:04 am
>> as the shots rang out people were just running in all directions. it was mass chaos, people laying behind cars, laying behind anything they could lay behind. it was kind of hard to tell who was a victim and who was just hiding at that point. >> reporter: authorities confirming eight adults were shot. one in critical condition and many more injured during the turmoil including a child. >> it's really unfortunate and it's sad that during a celebration of someone who represented peace and equality that disagreement results in the use of guns and violence. >> reporter: now, it's early in the investigation, but police believe this all may have started as a disagreement between two parties. now they are following up on leads, but so far no arrests have been made. robin? >> all right, victor, thank you. now to an arrest and a series of shootings in new mexico targeting democratic officials. a former republican candidate is in custody this morning. our chief justice correspondent pierre thomas is in washington with those details for us. good morning, pierre.
7:05 am
>> reporter: robin, good morning. authorities have been warning about the potential for political violence since the attack on the capitol. especially from far-right radicals. this morning, there's hard evidence those fears were well founded. this morning, a failed republican new mexico state house candidate under arrest. >> he's an election denier and he doesn't want to accept the results of the election. >> reporter: 39-year-old solomon pena stands accused of conspiring with and paying four men to carry out four different drive-by shootings that have terrorized the albuquerque community since december 4th. >> on the last shooting we now have evidence that pena went on the shooting and pulled the trigger on at least one of the firearms used. >> reporter: pena, a vocal trump supporter, paid the men cash and sent text messages with addresses where he wanted them to shoot at home, they say, targeting two democratic state house legislators and two county commissioners.
7:06 am
bullet holes seen in the homes and cars that were state senator lynda lopez says a bullet passed through her 10-year-old daughter's bedroom. thankfully no one was injured. >> five persons were involved inside this conspiracy. >> reporter: investigators say the evidence they have gathered against pena include cell phone records, firearms, surveillance footage and a witness inside and outside the conspiracy. >> at the end of the day this was about a right-wing radical, an election denier who was arrested today and did the worst thing you can do when you have a political disagreement which is turn that to violence. that should never be the case. >> reporter: pena has a criminal record and served nearly seven years in prison for burglary. george? >> okay, pierre, thanks. we go to the white house where president biden is facing questions about his handling of classified documents. new pressure from congress and senior white house correspondent mary bruce has the latest. good morning, mary. >> reporter: good morning, george. yeah, the pressure on president biden is only growing after more classified documents were found over the weekend at his delaware
7:07 am
home. this morning the white house is now firing back, accusing republicans on the hill of hypocrisy. >> mr. president, are you sure there are no more classified documents? >> reporter: president biden isn't talking as questions grow over his handling of classified >> mr. president, how do you think that the classified documents got into your boxes? >> reporter: a white house lawyer confirming over the weekend that five more pages of classified documents were found at biden's delaware home last thursday. classified material was first found in november in biden's former private office in washington. but sources say it was the discovery in december of documents in the garage of his wilmington home that was the tipping point prompting the attorney general to appoint a special counsel to investigate. republicans in congress have launched two investigations of their own. >> i think there's a lot of questions that continue to raise and we want to get all the information possible. >> reporter: but the white house this morning is firing back at
7:08 am
republicans' demands, noting they have shown little interest in investigating donald trump's refusal to turn in over a hundred pages of classified documents stored at mar-a-lago, saying house republicans are playing politics in a shamelessly hypocritical attempt to attack president biden. while trump refused to turn them over for a year prompting a subpoena and eventually an fbi search warrant, biden's lawyers say they are cooperating fully but they've been tight-lipped publicly. >> typically when a security investigation is being conducted, the details of that investigation are not disclosed. this is to protect national security. >> reporter: now, critics say this approach raises questions about transparency with the white house still refusing to answer basic questions about all of this and while they insist they are being fully cooperative with the special counsel, george, they are still declining to say whether they will comply with these republican-led investigations on the hill. george? >> okay, mary, thanks. let's bring in our chief legal analyst dan abrams. let's talk about the next steps
7:09 am
in the investigation. no search warrant yet. will that come? >> i don't think so. so far you do have cooperation. we're not talking about subpoenas or search warrants coming from congress, right? we're talking about from the department of justice. i don't expect them to go for a search warrant. why? look at what happened in the trump case. you start with the national archives. the national archives reaches p documents. they negotiate. they feel like they can't get them. they hand the case over to the fbi. the fbi issues a subpoena. the fbi says here are the documents that we want to get. the trump team assures them you have all the documents. they get a tip that says that's not true. that's when the search warrant comes into play in the trump case. even in the trump case they weren't going for a search warrant, anywhere near the outset of the investigation. >> so the same likely to hold for subpoenas? >> subpoenas are a little different. is it possible they'll issue a subpoena? sure. to simply say, look, we want to ensure that we have all the documents. you know, in a lot of cases a grand jury will subpoena
7:10 am
information, documents, et cetera, just to figure out where things are. in that case, you might have people saying, well, what did they do that deserved the subpoena? you may just see an effort to say, we want to just cover all our bases. >> so, both the trump and the biden cases deal with classified documents in the wrong place. that's about where the similarities end, but will the fact that these documents have now enbe dcoisved re possible prosecution of president trump? >> it shouldn't. the two cases should remain totally separate but as a practical matter, you have to think that at least some of it is coming into play with regard to attorney general garland. remember, each special counsel is supposed to do his own thing and i think that they are but when it comes to decision-making about what do we do with all this -- >> it rests with the attorney general. >> exactly. in the end both these special counsels are still reporting to attorney general garland. >> dan abrams, thanks very much.
7:11 am
michael? now to the unrelenting storms slamming california and there is finally some relief from the torrential rain but snowfall is still falling in the mountains as the storm moves across the country. matt rivers is in truckee, california, with the latest for us this morning. good morning, matt. >> reporter: good morning, michael. it has been a wild couple of weeks of severe weather here in california. not only with all of the snow you can see in the mountains but also across the entire state. this morning, whiteout conditions high up in the sierra nevada mountains. drivers forced to contend with whipping snow and avalanches. record snowfall turning nearby truckee, california, into a winter wonderland. this is a town that's used to snow, but even for truckee all this is a lot and some parts of this area, roughly three feet of snow has fallen in just the last 24 hours. it's snow in the mountains but all rain down below. this latest storm dumping inches more rain across the state
7:12 am
stranding cars across mission valley, near san diego. this man rescued by firefighters, one of at least seven such rescues in the flooding. mudslides and landslides a constant threat. this one damaging homes in berkley hills, another making this completely impassable. after weeks of bad weather, some residents were prepped for the worst. darryl hardy set up a zip line about two weeks ago fearing floodwaters would take out a bridge to his home. sure enough, they did. and the white house says that president biden will visit central california on thursday to meet with communities there recently impacted by this severe weather. robin? >> all right, matt. the storm is now moving east with at least 22 states on alert this morning. ginger is here now with that. good morning, ginger. >> good morning, robin. we had in iowa a relatively rare january tornado that spun up out of a warm front. they haven't seen a january tornado, in iowa, not since 1967. you can see that almost wedge crosses there. they did a survey, ef-1 was
7:13 am
found and another report next to it. then we have the track of where this next cold front and the associated low is going to move. anybody from paducah to lake charles, louisiana, be on the lookout tomorrow. more than 24 hours before the winds come through and there could be spinup tornadoes. on the back side of that we're talking big snow from denver to wisconsin. i'll get to that in a bit. george? >> ginger, thanks. we have new details about the near miss at kennedy airport after two packed passenger jets nearly collided on the runway at high speed. gio benitez is at jfk with the story. good morning, gio. >> reporter: hey, george, good morning. yeah, we're now learning more about what federal investigators may be looking at. first, let's show you again what happened here. a delta 737 was taking off at over 100 miles per hour when an american airlines 777 crossed the wrong runway right in front of it. air traffic control urgently called the pilots telling them to abort that takeoff. they slammed on the brakes coming within a thousand feet of the american plane but then that
7:14 am
american plane took off anyway, 20 minutes later. now the question is how did this happen and why was the american plane allowed to take off? it turns out that cockpit voice recorders only keep two hours of audio so that critical confrontation between the pilots is now lost. now, the planes were so close to each other that if that delta plane was a bigger, faster plane, we could have been looking at a real tragedy here. robin? >> we certainly could have been. gio, thank you. now to the water crisis in one arizona community. the taps are dry in rio verde foothills after the nearby city of scottsdale cut off the small town's water to deal with its own drought. faith abubey is there in arizona with how residents there are coping. good morning, faith. >> reporter: good morning to you, robin. this is the water filling station where for years homeowners have used their account numbers as passwords to get water, but all of that has been cut off. those account numbers no longer work. this morning, officials in
7:15 am
scottsdale, arizona, leaving homeowners outside the city limits high and dry, cutting them off from getting water from the city after years of access. >> we did everything that they asked us to do. >> reporter: officials say persistent drought forced them to take the drastic measure in order to conserve water for tose who live within the city limits. arizona is 1 of 33 states experiencing moderate or worst drought conditions. the scottsdale cutoff a thousand households. this man pleading for answers. >> this is a human issue. this is not something that, you know, that can be dwindled down to, well, we need to preserve water for what might happen. >> reporter: the city of scottsdale telling abc news that for nearly a decade they've warned rio verde foothill residents about this possibility. reim tells me he and his family have two weeks of water left. and if this dispute is unresolved cody says his
7:16 am
family's monthly water bill could triple from roughly $400 to $1,200 a month for the same amount of water. they're hoping state leaders or even a judge can step in. guys? >> we will see what happens there. faith, thank you. >> yes, we will. and now to a big night, yeah, it's my job so i have to say it. the dallas cowboys, the cowboys beat tom brady and the buccaneers in the final wild card game last night. trevor ault is here now with the highlights and what's in store for the g.o.a.t., tom brady. good morning, trevor. >> how about them cowboys? good morning, michael. last week dallas looked terrible, we know that. last night playing tom brady, they've never beaten him. giant upset was written in big flashing lights. that wasn't the case. the cowboys came to play and they may have sent brady packing for good. >> prescott, end zone, touchdown, dallas. >> reporter: overnight, the dallas cowboys marching on defeating tom brady for the
7:17 am
first time in emphatic fashion. >> second and goal, brady pulls it down, now throws it. intercepted. brady nowhere to go and is sacked. >> reporter: quarterback dak prescott leading the way with five total touchdowns. >> prescott, touchdown. >> reporter: dallas dominating from start to finish in a 31-14 playoff win. >> kind of a breakthrough win here tonight for the dallas cowboys. >> reporter: but there were a few hiccups. cowboys kicker brett maher missing his first four extra point attempts and that's never happened in an nfl game, it prompted this reaction from the manning cast. >> oh, my god. you've got to be kidding. >> i've never seen anything like it. >> reporter: and now the cowboys will now need to play their best to keep advancing. they're set for a second round battle against the san francisco 49ers. >> i'm confident in the guys i've got, this group we have. >> reporter: the big question now, what's next for tom brady? his retirement last year lasted only a few weeks but this season
7:18 am
was tumultuous and some speculate last night was his last game for the tampa bay buccaneers and maybe his last game ever. >> i love this organization. it's a great place to be in. thank you, everybody, for welcoming me and all you regulars and just very grateful for the respect and hope i gave the same thing back to you. so thank you very much. >> the cowboys will now have to go on the road to san francisco. the last time dallas won one was against the 49ers, 30 years ago today. >> it'll be a big weekend but the nfc east division one of the worst last year is now represented very well. the giants, eagles and the cowboys. >> you put the giants first when you said that. >> that's okay. >> well, yeah. why wouldn't i?

7:32 am
these online posts appear to go back about a decade when kohberger was a teenager. one of his former friends also providing some new insight this morning. this morning, newly uncovered social media posts painting a clearer picture of who bryan kohberger was as a teen, years before he was charged with killing four university of idaho college students. "the new york times" first reporting on posts believed to be written by kohberger between 2009 and 2012 where he shared struggles with mental health and thoughts of suicide. kohberger writing in 2011, as a hug my family i look into their faces, i see nothing. it is like i'm looking at a video game but less. kohberger also writing he experienced depression, a constant thought of suicide, crazy thoughts and delusions of grandeur and saying, i feel no emotion and along with the depersonalization i can say and do whatever i want with little remorse. >> bryan kohberger was someone who was struggling a lot in his teenage years about what was going on in his mind and trying to figure it out and how to resolve it. >> reporter: kohberger commiserating with other users about a neurological condition he says he suffered from called visual snow where a person sees
7:33 am
dots across their line of sight similar to static on a television. posting in 2010 my mind is never not on visual snow. this whole thing has made me crazy. i feel like my life is pointless because people can think about times with parents, childhood memories and be happy, and i won't be able to. >> he's talking about the visual symptoms that he's dealing with, but at the same time there really is a sense of desperation. >> reporter: in 2012 in his account's final post on the forum kohberger write he finally accepted his condition saying, quote, it doesn't scare me anymore. kohberger graduating from high school and college becoming a ph.d. student in criminal justice at washington state university before he was taken into custody december 30th after a raid at his parents' home in pennsylvania. police claiming dna found in the trash there tied him to the scene of the gruesome idaho murders. overnight, his former attorney in pennsylvania telling abc news he is still in touch with
7:34 am
kohberger's family and says his mother is still supportive of her son. >> she would first and foremost put out her heartfelt sympathies for the four families and she prays for them every day and can't imagine the situation that they're in but on the flip side of that she's obviously supportive and she wants to see how the case unfolds for her son. really pressing the presumption of innocence to anyone that will listen. >> reporter: kohberger charged with four counts of murder has not entered a plea. he's currently held without bail and due back in court in june. michael? >> thank you so much, mola. let's bring in abc news contributor, former fbi agent brad garrett. thank you for joining us. when you look at these social media posts one of the themes seems to be a lack of empathy. does that surprise you? >> not in the least. michael, when you look at cases similar to this one, where there
7:35 am
is a lot of preplanning, in his case maybe even months, if not at least weeks, it becomes a fascination. it becomes an obsession, it becomes your identity and so what happens is, you take that sort of obsession and compulsion and you overlay it with not having any feelings. i mean, think about this, michael. he doesn't care about anyone but himself. and if you feel that way, it's very difficult for you to have any guilt or remorse and so these types of killings really become who the person is on many levels, which is, you know, obviously very sad but a real true reality. >> yeah, but what about the visual problem he reportedly suffers from? have you encountered anything like that before? >> you know, i've read about that before. now, does that really play into what he's been charged with? i actually doubt it. do i think it added to maybe his isolation?
7:36 am
i mean, folks, they get into these types of crimes have really low self-esteem. it could have aggravated that, but i'm not sure that we could pull up anything and take it away that would then say this kid would not have turned out like he may have. > and, brad, investigators sealed the search warrant for kohberger's apartment. the judge finding, quote, premature public disclosure of the details will create a serious and imminent threat to law enforcement. why would they do that? >> so, i have actually done that in cases. you leave them sealed because you're not finished investigating. we don't know if they found the knife. is there other pieces of information that link him to this crime? and so that's why you wait before you release. >> brad garrett, thank you for your time this morning. appreciate you. robin? now to the iraq war veteran who used his expertise in the field to track down a suspected dog napper and get the beloved

8:11 am
taken to the e.r. where doctors told her hospital toxicology tests aren't able to detect certain illicit drugs including some that are frequently used to spike drinks and instead referred her to the denver police department. >> the officer had told me that because i had told him i wasn't assaulted that there wasn't a reason for them to file a report. >> reporter: our abc affiliate denver 7 reporting that several women are speaking out to them claiming police aren't taking their cases seriously. >> i had about 70 women reach out to me telling me the same thing happened to them. >> reporter: colleen says she believes she was drugged in a denver bar in december. >> i contacted the police. they said no crime occurred since i made it home safe. no assault occurred. >> reporter: denver police telling abc it has launched internal investigations into how both mainville and mitchell's cases were handled, adding, if an individual believes they have consumed a substance that caused them to become unconscious, they
8:12 am
should report the incident to police. >> there's not an antidote for date rape drugs that's widely available to the public. so it's important to seek medical care right away, particularly if you don't know what you've been exposed to. >> reporter: in 2022, boston police alerting public to the the rise in reported incidents regarding spiked drinks served at bars and parties. 117 last year alone according to police. >> i couldn't stand up. i basically had to sit on a sidewalk and just started getting sick like uncontrollably. >> reporter: now student groups at universities in boston are trying to combat this handing out the nightcap scrunchie which goes from a wearable hair scrunchie into a drink cover making it more difficult for someone to spike a drink. our medical expert explained to us that getting tested for these types of drugs is not simple. there's no one test that can identify which drug was used. they stressed again how important it is, though, to seek medical attention right away. guys? >> that is very, very important. eva, thank you. now to one woman's trip to

8:14 am
i couldn't type well. it felt tender to the touch. >> reporter: after dealing with the pain for months and multiple follow-ups with her general doctor, in april of 2022 she was referred to a ucla health specialist and dermatologist, dr. tal suleimani, for a biopsy. >> it came back as a squamous cell carcinoma which is a common form of skin cancer. but interestingly, when she was referred to me and i saw her finger, she didn't have any of the traditional signs. hers was hpv driven and it's an interesting thing to see. >> reporter: human papillomavirus is commonly considered a sexually transmitted through skin to skin contact. depending on the strain, it can cause cancers or manifest as warts on various parts of the body but in very rare cases contaminated equipment has been considered a possible means of
8:15 am
transmission for the disease. >> grace had a very obvious injury that allowed a portal of entry for the high-risk strain to kind of get in there. the reason we don't see it in places like, you know, our hands or our face or anywhere where we have thick skin is generally our skin has a top layer that's rott ccinatiocaevt more than 90%hpfr evedelopingr er d i everyhod vaccinated because it's one of the few simple ways that we can reduce cancer. >> reporter: here's some really good news. grace is now cancer-free. now, it's important to note that the hpv vaccine is available for both men and women and can help prevent cancers like these from occurring in the first place and when you go in for a manicure, make sure the tools being used are clean.

we are back with one of america's most popular sports media personalities. stephen a. smith. he is the star of the number one sports morning tv show "first take" on espn and he's just written a terrific new book.
8:39 am
it is called "straight shooter: a memoir of second chances and first takes." can we give it up in the studio for stephen a. smith. >> thank you. >> i got you here so i've got to get your first take on the game last night. i saw you on your show. you had all the bucs gear on and the cowboys came through. >> first of all, the cowboys should thank me, i motivated them. >> you're going to take credit? >> i'll take credit for that. i did this for them but they were awesome last night. they were clearly the better and more dominant team and tampa bay was just completely outclassed and they looked that way all season but it showed. i thought it would be closer than that. i didn't expect an annihilation but that's what we got. >> okay. also what we got was an endorsement from the g.o.a.t. tom brady read your book and was praising it. people will be surprised to know you said you didn't want to get into sports journalism just to talk about sports. >> right, i never want to be limited to just sports. sports is a microcosm
8:40 am
society and a lot of stuff that goes on in the world that emanates from sports that touches everyday people and everyday lives and always interested in mass appeal. so any time you have an opportunity to talk about a plethora of subjects, that is certainly something that i always want to embrace no matter what it is and that's why i do "first take" and that's why i loved doing it for so many years because you have an opportunity to talk about so many things. >> there are so many mentors that you write about. you gave praise -- you really did. there are a lot of mentors that told you that. that told you that, hey, it's not just about when you're playing basketball at hbcu, wasn't just about that but going beyond that and you've taken that to heart. >> the greatest mentor was my mother, god rest her soul, the greatest woman i've ever known. to me to go to an hbcu, and people like that always reminded me of the importance to give back. i'm not here because of me.
8:41 am
i'm here because of so many people that were willing to extend a helping hand and help me to get to where i am, they inspired me, they motivated me and they held me accountable to be the best i can possibly be. >> i loved how you talked about your mama. >> yeah. >> i mean, just i know she passed in 2017 and how hard that was and you said the reason that you waited to write the book is that she asked you not to write it while she was still here. why? >> my mother knew that i would talk about my relationship with my father. she knew that was going to happen and although this book is about motivating and inspiring people of all ethnicities and what have you, the other reason is to celebrate her. she, again, is the greatest woman i've ever known and i miss her dearly every day and cried for her every day for about two years when she was gone and i wanted to celebrate her but in the process of celebrating her you have to talk about why she has to be celebrated. the kind of trials and tribulations she had to endure. that ultimately led to me having to talk about my relationship with my father along with the rest of my siblings.
8:42 am
i got four older sisters that still live in queens, new york, and my brother who passed away in 1992. so we had to endure that. she knew i was going to do that and she said when i'm dead and gone, not before. >> i love how -- thank you for sharing that, stephen a. there's a great scene in the book where, okay, you're having some great success. you know, you graduate. you're the hot kid. you go to espn, had some initial success, but then you lose your position. >> yeah. >> you go back home. in your childhood home, mama comes in with breakfast and she also has a mirror next to the plate. tell people why. >> i got let go. you know, espn let me go because of a contract dispute and i was home licking my wounds and pointing the finger and blaming and feeling like a victim and my mother gave me my breakfast, she knows i love my bagel, my toasted bagels with extra butter and scrambled eggs and tea and had a handheld mirror and said it's there because i'm just wondering when you're going to look at yourself.
8:43 am
she said, you know what, you might not have deserved to be fired but she said i've seen you on the phone. i've seen your attitude and see the way you act and how you felt about them. and she said to act that way and to conduct yourself that way, she said you're not a boss and you would not want somebody acting that way to you. why would they want you to work for them? you need to grow up, mature and be better and got all up in me and left me there to lay in my room for about an additional day and just absorb and accept the fact that a lot of this i had brought on myself. >> something very rare. espn came calling again. >> yeah. >> that doesn't happen a lot, does it? so talk about the ups and downs and why you are sitting where you are in the number one morning sports show? >> well, obviously giving thanks to god is number one. number two to the greatest mother alive. to the greatest mother that ever lived but also great bosses. you know, what, nothing is perfect. but when you have folks that are extending the helping hand and they recognize not just your gifts and what you bring to the
8:44 am
table, not just your work ethic, but the fact that you have the kind of mentality where they saw the maturation that took place, i have to give credit where credit is due. george is a former boss. he called me into his office and had a big-time conversation with me and i revered this man. he's one of the nicest human beings i ever met in my life and always a big-time supporter of mine and he talked to me about some of the mistakes that people had echoed to him that i had made and he said, i still ed this is just a chapter and right then i knew it was an opportunity, i could be back one day because he didn't have to say that. he didn't have to invite me into his office. so i saw that nugget of hope and i just looked at myself and said, okay, i charted down the things i did wrong and wrote the names of the people i may have offended, may have upset, and said i'm going to correct the error of my ways and i'm going to come back better than ever
8:45 am
and i'm going to be number one, and that's what i ended up pulling off. >> and still going and still going strong. so bottom line here, stephen a., people picking up this book, what do you want them to take away from your story? still a work in progress. >> i want them to be inspired. i want them to be motivated and i want them to understand you're going to go through peaks and valleys in your life. you're going to have moments where you think everybody is against you, nobody is it's all a lie. - there's always somebody willing to extend a helping hand. if you believe in you and you want to go about the business of doing things the right way, putting your head down, be committed to putting in that work, being the best person you can be, you're going to make mistakes, you're going to be floored. all of those things are going to happen but it's not about whether or not you get knocked down it's about your willingness to get back up. any race, color, creed, it doesn't matter who you are, all of us go through those things. are you willing to go up and go for it? are you willing to aspire to be? are you willing to be an as set
8:46 am
or are you committed to be a liability? those are the kind of things i want people to take from it because i'm no liability to anybody. i believe in being an asset. i believe in being a winner and i'm a winner because i strive to be a winner. even when i fail, i'm winning because i don't plan on giving up and nobody should either. >> even when you fail, you're winning. >> i'm still winning because i'm going for it. >> you are. >> i'm going for it all the time. >> you know sometimes that can be a little like for people -- >> yeah, but that's a part of it. it's part of the process. anything worth having is not going to come easy. you got to understand that adversity is a part of the road and you got to welcome those challenges because, if it was easy, once you achieve it, how good do you feel? it's the fact that it was hard and you went for it and got it. >> and you, my friend, have worked so hard and it comes through in every single page of your book. thank you, stephen a. smith. >> thank you so much. >> thank you for being here. appreciate that. i had to fight michael for this interview, you know that. but i took him down. i -- >> that wasn't much of a fight. nobody is beating robin roberts. nobody is beating robin roberts. stray knows that. stray knows that. that's my man. >> because he's a straight
8:47 am
shooter and it hits bookstores nationwide today. pick up a copy.ginger. >> thanks, robin. brownsville, corpus christi were tying breaking high temperature records and san antonio it's your turn today. second warmest start to the year already. drew: i am abc7news meteorologist drew tuma with your accuweather forecast. sunny today, dry, temperatures in the 50's. enjoy the break from the rain. showers tomorrow evening, but behind the cold front, a dry pattern sets up into thee >> michael, i might michael, i might have a new co-anchor. i got a new co-anchor here. just saying because stephen a., he's always winning. shangela, shangela is here, y'all. >> i'm winning too. >> coming up -- >> shangela is here. >> shangela is here.
