the front caved in. this truck over here, the right side destroyed, the wheel gone, the headlights still on. these crashes happened on the north and south bound lanes of i 55, shutting it down for miles. >> oh, no, that's not good. >> reporter: this morning at least six people killed, dozens injured and more than 15 miles of i 55 in illinois still closed after a major dust storm caused this massive vehicle pileup. >> i have never seen a dust storm that bad and that persistent in my life time. once i got into it, i couldn't hardly see at all. at its worst you couldn't see 20 feet maybe at the most. >> reporter: the crashes started around 11:00 a.m. monday after drivers were blinded by thick dust clouds. >> approximately 30 commercial motor vehicles and 40 to 60 passenger cars were involved. at this time, we have reports of more than 30 people being transported to multiple area hospitals. >> look at this! what is happening?

>> reporter: officials say the dust was stirred up by excessive winds blowing dirt from farm fields across the highway. the visibility only a few meters and was made worse by the smoke caused by fire from all of the crashes. >> i saw car after car and semis that had run into each other and there was fires and smoke. it was crazy. it got so bad that i had -- like, i couldn't see anything out my windows. >> reporter: just to give you an idea of how bad this was, take a look at this. this was a truck, caught fire, completely burned. it's unrecognizable. but if you look closely, you can see this is the shell of what was a seat. so many people injured in all of this. state police identified one of the victims as an 88-year-old woman. she was a passenger in a vehicle driven by her daughter. her daughter survived. she is hospitalized.

the president insists america has to pay its bills that have come due without conditions. >> we pay our bill and we should do so without reckless hostage taking from some of the maga republicans in congress. >> reporter: biden now inviting the top four congressional leaders to meet at the white house next week. we have just learned kevin mccarthy accepted the president's invitation. that meeting now set for next tuesday. the clock is ticking. take a look at what this could mean if the u.s. does default on its debt. it could mean a halt to social security payments and military salaries. the u.s. credit rating could be downgraded. that would spike interest rates. it could tank the stock market hurting 401k's. we are heading to a real economic meltdown here. >> the clock is indeed ticking. thank you. now to break news overnight. hollywood writers going on strike, bringing many productions to an immediate stop, including some of the biggest shows on tv. our chief national correspondent

[ laughter ] >> reporter: pete davidson set to host this saturday. now he may not. the writers say streamings' lack of a seasonal calendar has hurt their pay and ai could transform the media landscape for the worse. >> writers are no longer paid as much as they used to be. they're paid for shorter series. they're not seeing any of the residual that you used to see in the old days. >> reporter: with blockbusters

like guardian of the galaxy volume three out in theaters this friday. >> you were in love with? >> more like her. >> her? >> knock it off! >> what? >> reporter: what happens beyond that isn't clear. the last writer's strike in 2007 lasted 100 days, costing california's economy an estimated $2.1 billion. but the impact of this strike could go far beyond hollywood and new york. take georgia for instance where movie and tv production pumped $4 billion into the local economy last year. ♪ >> georgia is a leader in the world. we're top three typically production city. we're gonna feel it more than most other markets and feel it just as much as new york or l.a. would. >> reporter: now, the writers

guild described this as it's worth noting media companies in those negotiations said they offered generous increases in compensation for writers and they are fully committed to reaching a mutually beneficial deal. if the last strike is any indication, it could be awhile. michael? >> so many people affected by this. i hope they can end it soon. thank you very much, matt. now the latest in the massive man hunt for the suspect accused of killing five neighbors in texas including a 9-year-old boy. matt rivers is in cleveland, texas, with the latest. >> reporter: hundreds of officers on the ground, drones and helicopters above. this morning an all out search for an accused mass murderer intensifies in texas. fran francisco oropesa accused of killing five neighbors friday after an argument is still at large. this as new information about his background emerges. a source close to the

bergdorf's is not a place that i am afraid to enter. carroll also denied making up her rape claim based on a 2012 "law and order" episode where a woman is raped at a woman carroll said she told at the time of the alleged attack is expected to take the stand. we also expect a person who said trump raped her will testify. that's something trump denies. robin? >> thank you for your reporting. now to another fight breaking out on an airplane when a man punched a flight attendant then made a break for the emergency exit. mona kosar abdi has the story. >> oh my god! >> stop it! stop! >> reporter: this is the moment an angry passenger attacked a united airline staff member. all in an alleged dispute over his seat assignment. she kept explaining sir, doesn't look like your wife is assigned here. could you please escort her to heno, no.ct seat. this is what we were assigned

an elite new jersey boarding school acknowledging it's failed to protect one of its students from bullying. the school accepting responsibility after the student's suicide saying it fell tragically short in jack's case. the lawrenceville school which touts its tight knit community on line settling with the family of jack reid. the 17-year-old took his life in april 2022. the school admitting that bullying and unkind behavior and actions taken or not taken by the school likely contributed to jack's death. in the spring of 2021, an untrue rumor spread across campus that he committed sexual assault by kissing a girl. then in september of 2021, a false claim that he was a rapist was posted anonymously to a nationwide student app. >> bullying has extraordinary impact on kids. it really doesn't benefit anyone. one of the most significant factors for youth in america is the internet. and social media.

>> reporter: the school investigating the rumors, finding them false, but never publicly sharing the results or telling jack. then, on april 30, 2022, when a student who was disciplined for bullying him was expelled for something else, the school admitting they allowed that student to return, largely unsupervised to the dorm where jack stayed. students there bullying jack again. he took his life that night. the school now promising to create policies around spotting and stopping bullying and agreeing to contribute to multiple nonprofits focused on bullying and suicide prevention. the school saying they hope to become a leader in making these changes going forward. george? >> okay, eva, thank you very much. we are joined now by jack's parents bill and dr. elizabeth reid. thank you for joining us. i know this can't be easy for you. i also know from my daughters and her friends that jack was really well loved. what do you want the world to know about your son?

>> i think, first of all, i want to say thank you for having us. when you lose a child, it's hard for people to know what to say to the parents. it's honestly a pleasure for us to speak about our son. he was kind. that is the first word that comes to my mind when i think about jack. he lived by the golden rule. he had lots of friends. he loved his community. and he was a leader. >> i have heard that. i know you were in constant conversations with your son leading up to his suicide. >> we were well aware of what was going on. we were encouraging him. he advocated for himself. he talked to the school. he talked to his friends. we were meant to see him the next morning. the last words we spoke to him about was, dad, i'm doing better. i love you. >> you're his mom. you are also a clinical psychologist. yet no signs that it could go this far? >> absolutely not. i think, george, that's the main reason we are here today. i think everyone in this room

probably knows someone who was bullied as a child. you do suffer the scars of that. and then have that for the rest of your life. i think what we've realized from our own situation, is that it can lead to death. this is a very serious issue. the internet absolutely makes it much worse for kids today. >> it just magnifies it. >> absolutely. >> one of the most mystifying and enraging things to me reading about this story is that the school knew about these rumors. they investigated the rumors. they knew the rumors were false. they knew they would clear jack, yet they didn't say anything. >> we are gratified by the admission of the school that there were things that they could have done, should have done. we think that's a very courageous admission and we hope other institution follow their lead. >> are they doing enough? >> it's hard to tell, but we're anxious to see the success of their plan to fight bullying on campus.

>> elizabeth, you said jack would want to try to make something good out of this and honor him and the way he lived his life. how do you hope to do that? >> we are starting the jack reid foundation for the education and prevention of bullying and cyber bullying. although our lives feel completely destroyed, you lose a child. you look around at the rubble and you say, what can i make out of this? i know jack would want to save other children. that's what we want to try and do. >> for other families who may be worried about their children, what words can you share with them? >> i think the first thing is, stay in contact with your kids. take everything seriously. communicate with the school. i think one other issue you could speak to is the lobbying efforts. >> one of the things we've learned, in many states there are established anti-bullying rules. they don't usually govern private institutions, charter schools, parochial schools.

that's something we'd like to change. >> across the board. >> something we didn't know until -- >> i would have never known that. >> exactly. >> well, thank y for comg in. i know this hasn't been easy for you, but i know you're determined to make some good come out of this. >> we are. thank for having us. >> thank you. >> if you are struggling call or text the crisis line at 988. free help is available 24/7. we'll be right back. my a1c was up here; now, it's down with rybelsus®. his a1c? it's down with rybelsus®. my doctor told me rybelsus® lowered a1c better than a leading branded pill and that people taking rybelsus® lost more weight. i got to my a1c goal and lost some weight too. rybelsus® isn't for people with type 1 diabetes. don't take rybelsus® if you or your family ever had medullary thyroid cancer, or have multiple endocrine neoplasia syndrome type 2, or if allergic to it.

another abc seven news update in about 30 minutes. >> the galaxy >> they still need their guardians. >> hello. we come in peace. seriously dude. >> ow! >> hey! >> welcome back to gma. guardians of the galaxy, they are back and coming to theaters on friday. chris pratt will be here live in the studio tomorrow to tell us all about t it. looking forward to that. >> right now all hail the queen. susan lucci, the queen of soap operas, yes! [ cheers ]

the woman who made all my children, made me arrange my college schedule. >> thank you. >> the entire run of the show, and we're just gonna show one, one of the reasons why. >> so many shoes to fill. so many hats to wear. family leader trying to keep all of you together. corporate titan. inspirational icon. and sober role model. [ laughter ] >> all of that and more. we absolutely love it when you grace us with your presence here in the studio, susan. thank you. there's so much to talk to you about. we know stroke awareness month is something that's very, very dear to you, close to your heart. >> yes, it certainly is. may a stroke awareness month. i'm so proud to have the opportunity to work with the american stroke association to raise awareness, to raise awareness as to what warning

signs there are, and to act fast so that if you recognize facial drooping, arm weakness or leg weakness, for that matter, speech, problems with speech, then it's time. it's time right away to call 911 and get treatment immediately. speed is really of the essence when you're dealing with someone having a stroke. i have an auction that has just gone live, that i'm doing to helpfully raise some funding for research for the american stroke association. also to shine a light on what that research, i hope, having just gone through this and witnessed this with my husband, that hopefully some of the things could help, that the research will discover. >> how are you feeling? i know you dealt with some heart issues? >> thank you. i'm feeling fine. i feel fine. one thing i will say is that i

learned through my situation and now my husband's, is the heart/brain connection. if you have high blood pressure, you are more likely to have a stroke. if you have a diagnosis of a fib, which is what my husband had. he never had symptoms. he was going to go to preop to go in for a shoulder injury. he wasn't supposed to keep on skiing because he had an injury, but he did. they couldn't do the surgery because they discovered he had a fib. no symptoms. never affected our lives. that's the good news. the bad news is that if you have a fib, you are five times re likely to have a stroke. five times. and if you have the stroke, you're twice as likely to pass away from it. these are things we are trying to avoid. the quickness, the speediness of the treatment is imperative. so my hope in raising something for research is that we got to the hospital, they told me, in record time. that's fabulous. i'm wondering, as the advocate.

i know so many people are advocates for the people that they love. could they do even faster? could something be done by the emt's in the ambulance? part of me wonders, could there be something like an epi pen, like they give epi pens, even children carry them to school if they have an allergy. this would be to reverse the effect of the stroke or slow them down or to stop the effects of the blood thinners that often you are given if you have a heart issue to prevent clotting to the brain. that's a double edged sword. the blood thinners can also hurry the bleeding into the brain. >> you did a psa for stroke awareness. you talked about earlier you do have the auction where you are raising money. you donated some of your cherished items. how do you figure out what to donate to the auction?

>> you know, michael, i have gone too far in some cases and hand bags and shoes they say are the fastest and easiest things for women to buy because we don't have to go into the dressing room and all of that. hand bags especially. there's a lot of accessories, which is good, because they are not size dependent, you know? really, truly, i have done too much shopping therapy. [ laughter ] >> i was looking at all those beautiful dresses. i don't see the one that you wore when you won the emmy. what happened to that? where's that? >> actually, the smithsonian asked me if i would donate it to them. i would have, but it was lost. i couldn't -- yeah. i put it away for safe keeping but way too safely. i could not locate it. but the next morning after i won the emmy, i appeared on the cover of "people" magazine in another gown. that's the gown that's in the smithsonian.

>> do you miss erica cane? >> oh, yes. yes. what a great part she was. this incredible part was created for an actress to sink her teeth into. it was a plus to do five shows a week. very challenging, of course. but the possibilities were phenomenal. >> notice how she did that. the slap. >> i want to ask you, put you to the test. here are three actors. tell us who did not appear on the show. sarah michelle gellar, sarah jessica parker or michael jordan. who did not appear on the show? >> sarah jessica parker. >> you got it. >> i knew that one. >> you are known for the slap. you can dish that out.

you gonna teach me how to do the -- can you teach me how to do the fake slap? >> sure. to begin with a slap is part of the scene. >> how dare you! >> see. very fabulous. he just did camelot. we were lucky. he would say the intention, what is your intention? why are you going to do this to this person? you have to sell it and i have to sell it. camera has to be at a certain angle so you don't see any contact. i'm not going to. >> oh, thank you. >> don't be afraid. it's only going to look scary. >> do i have to slam my hand underneath? like when you're a kid, you hit your leg. >> i think they do that in the editing. you could do that. that would be very effective now. exactly. also you do a windup because you're really mad. yeah. >> yeah. >> yeah. i'm gonna slap you. are you really mad? are you gonna slap me? >> no i'm not.

>> you're mad in the scene. we're fighting. >> i cannot believe you said that to me. >> i can't believe you say this to me. >> why would you ever do this to me, my family? >> because you stink! [ laughter ] you sold that! bravo! >> my life is now complete, everybody. >> i think mine, too. [ laughter ] >> you both deserve it. >> following through also means not just the slap but the thought process. uh-oh, is he gonna hit me back? >> i would never. there's a lot going on. >> you did give some guys here some ideas. [ laughter ]

>> susan lucci, thank you, thank you, thank you again for what you're doing. the psa, the auction. you're making a difference. >> thank you so much. thank you for having me on. >> anytime. coming up, minka kelly is here live with her new memoir. come on back.

>> george: next guest

>> back now our guest best known for "friday night lights." mink kelly shares her own story in her memoir "tell me everything." >> thank you for having me. >> what made you decide to write this now? >> it started as a project for myself to unpack and discover all the ways of my childhood. i sort of realized it could be bigger than that because i am certainly not the only one who was raised by a single mother. certainly not the only person raised by a single mother who struggled with addiction. definitely not the only woman who ever doubted her self-worth. i think we all make sense of our lives by way of sharing our stories. i just felt like it was important to tell the whole truth. >> where did you learn about yourself? >> you know, i was deep in therapy in the midst of writing this book. as i was writing it with the intention of just telling the story about a mother and a daughter to honor my mom and keep her alive in some way. in the midst of it, while in

therapy, while writing about certain times in my life, i was able to go, oh wow, this was the moment that taught me i am afraid of romantic relationships, or men are not to be trusted, or, you know -- and why i run away from even platonic female relationships. i'm scared of the world. all of these things imprinted from your childhood inform how you relate in your adult life. so i was learning all of the ways i was contributing to all the unhealthy relationships. >> now you are sharing that knowledge with the world. most of us came to know you on "friday night lights." that was a pretty complicated time for you, wasn't it? >> it was. it was also the best time in my life. it changed my life. that was such a gift. i hit the jackpot with that show. it was also the most complicated. my mom was sick with cancer, which i write about in detail in the book about the complexities of the most beautiful thing in

the world happening and also the worst thing in the world happening at the same time. >> this bond you have with your mom is something you wanted to get on the page. >> yeah. i think it's a really relatable, thing. mothers and daughters have complex relationships. the more i share my story, the more i'm met with an empathetic witness, the more my shame is able to dissipate. and so i hope that i get to be that empathetic witness now. i'm really enjoying the conversations i have been having with women, sharing with me about their relationships with their mothers. and maybe encouraging them to show a little grace and see maybe their parent as a human being and who may have hurt them, which is keeping them from being the parent you want them to be. >> what do you want people to take away from this book? most important thing? >> i want people to feel seen, you know? i want people to get more comfortable with the idea of grace and forgiveness.

grace is not necessarily for people who you might think deserve it. that's why it's called grace. i hope people feel more safe to tell the truth. i'm really excited when i meet people who don't feel like they have to pretend their lives are perfect. i'm here to tell you i don't deserve to be on any pedestal just because i'm on tv. i might be more like you than you might imagine. >> sounds fascinating. thank you for coming in. let's go to ginger. >> i promised you snow. now we got it in shanksville, pennsylvania. you can see the snow that's fallen. pretty wet and sloppy still. up in appalachian you're gonna get some of that with that low pressure system we've been talking about, spinning keeping temperatures cool. everybody saying, when is it going to warm up? by the end of the week we'll start to creep closer to normal and even get peeks of sunshine. how about all that? here's something for you. six to ten day outlook, above average from east of the rockies.
