was iran involved in what could happen next as u.s. security ramps up here at home? we have full coverage. david muir, ian pannell, matt gutman, james longman reporting live across the war zone. a special edition of good morning america. >> announcer: live in times square, this is good morning america. >> good morning america as we join you for a new week. war has broken out in the middle east. it is likely to be a long war. it threatens to become a wider war. the spark came saturday morning. a surprise attack by hamas militants on israel, almost exactly 50 years to the day that israel was invaded by egypt and syria to start the yom kippur war. the scale shocking. it came by land, sea and air. paragliders, speed boats, motorcycles and rockets. more than 1,100 people reported dead, more than 100 taken hostage. it is israel's 9/11. prime minister netanyahu promising that israel will

retaliate with a might and scale the enemy has not yet known. overnight he launched a major offensive with rockets and tanks. the israeli defense forces announce this morning that fighting in southern israel has stopped for now and israel has regained control of all gaza border towns. the big questions now. how did such a stunning intelligence failure allow this attack? will israel send ground forces into gaza? was iran behind the attack? will this lead to a wider war? the shock waves are spreading across the region and the world. >> you're looking live in gaza. israel announcing a total see of the gaza strip, cutting off all gas, electricity and power. >> abc news has team coverage this morning on the ground in israel and in washington. world news tonight anchor david muir starts us off from tel aviv. good morning, david. >> reporter: good morning. we can hear rocket fire just as we were coming on this morning. a real reminder that this is on going. israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu making it clear, israel is at war after this

sweeping coordinated and brutal attack 48 hours ago, the likes of which they have not seen in 50 years. hamas militants going from town to town here in israel, door to door, killing indiscriminately. where they didn't kill, they took hostages, mothers and their children. this morning right here, you are going to hear from a young man who told me he recognized his own wife in a video, and now he hopes she and his two young daughters come home alive. this morning the death toll rising in israel, as prime minister benjamin netanyahu warning this could be a long and difficult war, after a brutal, surprise attack not seen in israel in 50 years. >> these terrorists have one goal in mind. it's to slaughter as many civilians as possible. >> reporter: the crisis breaking out just after dawn saturday, when a complex and highly coordinated attack by hamas began an assault by land, sea and air.

more than 2200 rockets firing into israel, raining down on southern and central cities, with air raid sirens going off as far north as tel aviv. shortly after, hamas video showing armed militants storming blockaded areas of the gaza strip. officials say that once inside israeli communities along the border, they started killing indiscriminately leaving bodies in the streets. some shot while sitting in their cars. at a music festival, young concert goers seen running for their lives. rescue workers say 260 bodies were removed from the desert after a hamas rocket attack. video posted online of this drone footage showing the after math. cars abandoned, lining the road. in other towns and villages, families were desperate to barricade themselves inside homes, as militants raided their towns, going door to door, looking to kill. [ gun fire ] and many who weren't killed were

then forced into cars. mothers and children and seniors taken back to gaza as hostages. we met a young father, yoni asher, whose wife an two young daughters were visiting their grandmother. his wife called. they were in a safe room when militants got in. the call dropped out and yoni had no idea what happened until he saw this video. he said that's his wife. militants covering her head, taking her and their two daughters who are just 2 and 4. >> i recognized them immediately. i saw the video twice. the second time, i couldn't watch. i melted down. i didn't know what to do. i couldn't believe this is >> reporter: prime minister netanyahu declared israel is at war. more than 700 killed here, including at least four american citizens. the biden administration warning that number could rise. overnight abc news speaking with

the mother of one of those american victims, 32-year-old haim castman. >> he was taken hostage. i didn't get official information that that's exactly what happened. his body was found in hi apartment. we understand he and his neighbor were hiding in a closet. the neighbor was released, a woman, and he was shot immediately. >> reporter: now his loved ones left grieving, remembering a son, a colleague, a friend. >> you know, getting so many messages from people who worked with haim or who knew him, came in contact during their travels, how warm he was, how open. he was very accepting and a very loyal friend. sense of humor. he took things in stride. >> reporter: new questions this morning about why israel's intelligence, long a source of pride here, how did they miss this? the worst assault since the yom kippur war in 1973.

u.s. secretary of state antony blinken on the issue of intelligence with george stephanopoulos on "this week." >> we have a very close relationship with israeli intelligence, as well as with israel more broadly. yes, of course, this is something they and we will be looking at. the effort right now has to be in dealing with the aggression from hamas. >> reporter: to deal with that aggression, israel now retaliating. hammering gaza with air strikes and cutting off power to certain areas. this morning the israeli military now saying they've struck more than 500 hamas and islamic jihad sites. releasing this video of one of their strikes. the palestinian health ministry saying 400 have been killed, thousands more civilians injured. they made elderly people, children and women, scared, this man says. copies of the koran were shattered. but with israel shaken, tens of thousands of israeli reservists have been called up to join the fight. >> we are recovering, first of

all, from the most devastating day in israeli history. every single hamas terrorist that carried this out will have to look over their shoulder for the rest of their lives. >> reporter: this morning, this young father is waiting for his wife and two young girls to come home. how are you staying so strong? >> i don't know. i guess when you are a parent, you have no choice. >> reporter: incredibly moving to be with that father in his home. you think about that young dad who's waiting for word on his wife and two young daughters and you have to recognize he is just one of so many families waiting for word on these hostages that were taken into gaza. the israeli defense ministry saying just moments ago, declaring a total siege of the gaza strip. no power, no water, no electricity. they say they are dealing with barbaric terrorists and that we will act accordingly. rebecca, you heard george say this is israel's 9/11. that is exactly what i have

heard here on the ground the moment we arrived from israelis approaching us. i heard it even before we got here on the flight over from new york city. people approaching me on that flight saying the scope of this attack over the weekend has been just devastating. rebecca? >> absolutely devastating and truly horrific. thank you, david, for covering this for us. we know you'll continue to cover it throughout the day for abc news and all the latest developments, as well as on "world news tonight." thank you. george? >> okay, rebecca. so many israeli casualties in the massacre at the music festival. more than 260 bodies recovered from the scene. ian pannell is live there. >> reporter: we are a couple miles from the gaza border. when that large scale attack happened, hamas militants came into the center of this town. we saw wild videos of them opening fire on civilians. dozens were killed. this was the police station. it was overrun by militants. the scene of a fierce battle, many people died.

as you say, the single worst incident of this entire attack was at a party just a few miles away. this morning a music festival in israel packed with hundreds of young people ending in carnage. early saturday morning hamas rockets streaking overhead as people celebrated and danced. suddenly panic spreading as hamas gun men close in. festival goers seen in video circulating online running for their lives, desperately fleeing for safety. >> we got away. some were shot in their car. >> reporter: this woman survived by sprinting through an open field. >> we would just keep running because you realize if you don't keep running, then you don't go back home. >> reporter: with rockets exploding overhead, running for miles without food or water. she still doesn't know whether some of her closest friends made it out. tom and his girlfriend describing the chaos and gun fire as they tried to escape.

>> bullets over your head. you hear the shot like -- you hear the shot. you get down and keep running. >> reporter: more than 260 people were slaughtered by hamas. video posted online showing what is now a terrible crime scene. but this morning, many are still missing, including john's son hirsh. >> he sent two brief messages to my wife and me. the first said, i love you. the second said, i'm sorry. since then, we've heard nothing from him. >> reporter: the family is in agonizing limbo, awaiting any knew about their 25-year-old son. >> no one can sleep. we have no information, nothing. >> reporter: he first escaped gun fire with a friend, calling his sister in panic. >> when he ran and screamed, i'm running, i'm running for my life, everyone is shooting everywhere, in every direction.

>> reporter: he ran for his life as hamas gunned people down. his family haven't heard from either of them since. one of those young men that we spoke to, tom, telling me he's already received his callup papers. he is heading in this direction. we're getting every sense of this brooding battle. we hear the fighter jets. we hear the drones. we hear the explosions every few minutes. but we also see lots of military vehicles moving in to this area, with a real sense that this could escalate even further. demarco? >> it is far from over. ian, thanks for that report. president biden pledged to support israel as he warned israel's enemies not to take advantage of hamas' surprise attack. >> let me say this as clearly as i can. this is not a moment for any party hostile to israel to exploit these attacks to seek advantage. the world is watching. >> the u.s. is sending an aircraft carrier strike group towards israeli waters to show support. our chief white house

correspondent mary bruce has more on this story. mary, good morning to you. >> reporter: good morning, demarco. the u.s. is boosting its military presence as the biden administration scrambles to prevent a broader crisis here. sending that carrier strike group as well as weapons, munitions and fighter jets. we have just been told that at least nine americans have been killed. state department said an unknown number are still missing, which means, unfortunately, that death toll could rise. the biden administration scrambling to prevent a broader conflict. you heard the president there warning others not the take advantage of these attacks. that is a message in large part for iran. while the white house says it's too soon to tell if iran played a formal role, officials say it is unimaginable that iran didn't have some influence here. we know this. we know hamas is funded, equipped and armed by iran and others. this comes as the white house has been brokering a historic deal with saudi arabia to try to normalize relations, a deal the white house argued would be transformative to stablizing the region.

it is hard to see how this deal could move forward now. it will certainly be on the back burner now, george. >> mary bruce, thanks. let's bring in john feinert. president biden's deputy national security adviser. thank you for joining us. we just heard mary detail what the united states has done so far. what more is president biden prepared to do? >> thanks for having me on, george. i suspect during the course of the coming days and weeks, frankly, because we expect the israeli response to this horrific set of attacks to continue for quite sometime. we expect more u.s. steps to show support and solidarity for israel will unfold. the president has been quite clear that israel has, of course, every right to defend itself full stop, and that the united states will offer support at every level for israel's defense. we are working through those details with our intelligence professionals, our military and our diplomats. we are in daily, in fact many times a day, contact with israeli counterparts to see what

they need and to offer it. >> when i was speaking to secretary of state blinken, he said the united states could not confirm iran was behind the attack but the "wall street journal" has a detailed report how iran was at a meeting in lebanon where this attack was planned and decided to be launched. can you confirm that? can you not confirm iran was behind this? >> so taking a step back, i think what we can be quite clear about is iran is complicit in these attacks, for having supported hamas, for having provided financial support, training, weapons to hamas. what we don't have is direct information that shows iranian involvement in ordering or planning the attack that took place over the last couple of days. it's something that we are going to look at closely. by the way, this is what the israeli government has said as well. broad complicity. but no evidence of direct support. we will continue to watch. >> so the "wall street journal" report is not expect, or you cannot confirm it? >> what i can tell you is we

have no direct information to confirm that report. we've obviously seen it. we are looking into it. we do not have the ability to corroborate it. >> the president and all of you are trying to take steps to prevent this from becoming a wider war. how realistic is that? would israel have the right to retaliate against iran if they were behind this? >> the president has been clear that israel has the right to defend itself, full stop. israel will ultimately make the decision about how it chooses to go about and conduct their defense. we are offering support in a number of ways that we've laid out. the president was equally clear that this is not the moment for other parties who are hostile to israel to seek advantage or seek to exploit the attacks that have taken place. that is part of why the united states has moved the carrier strike group to the eastern mediterranean to send a strong signal that no one else should get involved. we will see how things unfold in the course of the coming days. >> finally, what can you tell us about americans caught up in this conflict? >> what i can tell you is we

strongly suspect that there will be american citizens among those killed. we are looking, obviously, very intensively into whether there were any americans among those who have been abducted and brought to gaza. this is still on going in israel. there's still fighting inside israel as we speak. there is a war in terms of gathering information. we will have much more to say about this at the right time. but given that there are hundreds of thousands of americans at any given moment in israel, as well as significant number of dual nationals, israeli citizens who are also americans. we knew americans would be affected by this. we will do everything possible to support the families of those who are caught up in it and we will have more to say about specifics as we have them. >> thanks. coming up the race to find the hostages. americans could be among them, as we just heard. >> yes, as we just heard. and the u.s. is ramping up security back here at home. and the major airlines canceling flights to israel. but first we head over to ginger. good morning. >> so that cold air also brought first snow of the season, from new york down through appalachia

more than 1,000 people killed when the powerful quake hit over the weekend. marcus moore has that story for us. good morning, marcus. >> reporter: rebecca, good morning. yes, that urgent race to save people trapped in the rubble continues as we speak in western afghanistan. the numbers we have so far are devastating. more than 2,500 people have been killed. more than 1,600 injured. we understand so far that more than 1,000 homes have been destroyed. this was a powerful 6.3 magnitude quake that struck around noon on saturday. it was followed by several very strong after shocks that destroyed at least six villages we know of this morning. the epicenter buzz 25 miles north of harod city. we have seen videos of locals digging with their bare hands to try to reach people who are trapped. they include children. in another village, we saw video of people using heavy equipment like an ebbing excavator. the world health organization sending ambulances to the region.

the u.n. has said to prepare for the death toll to rise even higher. this is one of the deadliest earthquakes to hit the region in decades. >> just devastating. thank you very much. now the rescue effort for israeli hostages captured by hamas. at least 100 people are being held. foreign correspondent james longman is live in tel aviv. good morning, james. >> reporter: yeah, good morning, george. we're in a facility that has been set up for the families of those missing. israel has never seen casualties like this, the number of missing. with the ground invasion of gaza looming, fears for hostages are growing. >> she just wants her to come home back safe and sound. >> reporter: in this video circulating online, young recruits can be seen bloody and bound being driven by hamas militants into gaza.

sasha tells me what it was like seeing her sister in the video. >> first i saw this. i didn't think it was her and swiped next. her face was there. she was screaming. we identified her by her nose, her brows, her chest. and we know it was her. >> reporter: in another video, carina speaks into her phone, surrounded by other kidnapped women. families are desperate to find their loved ones after videos like these, palestinian militants dragging a woman around a truck in gaza and taking israeli hostages near the border. one brother racing from america to find him after this video emerged showing him with a wounded face surrounded by other hostages. >> i can see he is afraid. he is so scared. hopefully, he's going to be alive. i don't know if he will be alive. >> reporter: beyond the 100 hostages, more are missing, their status unknown.

22-year-old kim dente was at the music festival when rockets rained down. she called her family in panic. they haven't heard from her since. >> she realized there were seven or eight groups of terrorists. they just shot everywhere. they just shot them, slaughtered them like dogs. that's the reason i am here i want the world to condemn this behavior. i didn't bring my children up to hate anybody. >> reporter: american karen flesh able to escape with her husband and child, but last time she heard from her parents was saturday. >> at this point any people that we lost communication with throughout the last few days, if we have news from them, it's not good news. >> reporter: now a race against time as israel prepares for a likely ground invasion in gaza, the very place with the hostages are believed to be held. >> absolutely every second counts. we have innocent people who have no idea what was going on who are now living their worst night mare.

>> reporter: back at carina's house, sasha reads a birthday note from a friend. carina's just turned 17. >> to carina, my friend. i wish you all the best. i want to wish you happiness, health, love, money, smiles. you are the best friend ever, that i could ask for. everything you need remember that i am here any minute. >> reporter: it is truly heart breaking to watch. the father of one of though young girls that was abducted at that desert party has shown extraordinary courage. he told reporters, gaza also has casualties, also has mothers who cry. let's make peace, he says. we are about as far from that as possible, george. >> no question about that. okay, james, thanks. let's bring in our military analyst. set the military stage. israel said the ground operations around gaza have stopped for now. they have imposed a siege. but this is not the end. >> it's not the end, george. we will see what the incursion

into gaza will eventually look like. we'll continue to see the buildup of forces around gaza. we'll continue to see the towns near gaza be evacuated. netanyahu is going to have some considerings, if not constraints. we know there are hostages, including women and children inside gaza. he will have put them at risk if he goes into gaza. already this morning we are hearing reports that hamas said four israelis have been killed inside gaza. we also know that hamas would have anticipated that israel would have to come into gaza so he will have reinforced their defenses making that urban warfare particularly bloody. israel cannot commit its whole defense force to gaza. to its 2 million people because, in the north, we know hezbollah, the northern border also is at risk. >> how does israel deal with the hostages? we know it's a tenet of the state of israel that they don't leave hostages behind. they trade for hostages when

they have to. yet they also need to go into gaza at this point. so how do they square that? >> there will probably be a military operation. it will be a special operations mission that will go in and look for hostages. it's going to be very difficult considering what they're doing in terms of growing the military force, what they said they've committed to in terms of gaza and the kind of language that netanyahu has been using will make it very difficult to get all of though hostages home safely. >> perhaps the most perilous question, was iran behind this? i spoke about that "wall street journal" report detailing the account of how iran was part of the planning in lebanon last week. if that is confirmed, we've heard that the united states said israel would have the right to retaliate. do you expect it? >> it could. it could, george. this is unprecedented, to see the kind of cooperation between irgc, hamas and even hezbollah. so it is possible. you would think that that would

meet the bar for israel to take action. but the problem here is, if israel goes after iran, that it will invite response from hezbollah in the north. so one front war could quickly turn into a three front war. >> aren't we already seeing that? >> we may be. it's just going to depend on how israel deals with gaza. what do they do in gaza? is it punitive? or do they go in and hold territory? how much carnage is there? how many civilians have been killed? and what the reaction from the rest of the world will be. >> steve, thanks. now house of representatives which could complicate america's response to the war as republicans try to find a replacement for kevin mccarthy. rachel scott is on capitol hill with the latest. good morning, rachel. >> reporter: george, good morning. for almost a week there has been no speaker of the house. the chamber is paralyzed with the crisis unfolding in israel. also the deadline to fund the government quickly approaching back here at home. there is growing pressure on republicans to move quickly

here. there is a temporary speaker of the house congressman patrick mchenry but his power is limited in this role. it is unclear he can even receive a classified intelligence briefing on the situation in israel. republicans are saying this is sending the wrong message to the rest of the world and they are now scrambling to unite to elect a new speaker of the house. conference is set to meet in a few hours behind closed doors. there are two leading candidates, steve scalise an jim jordan. he was one of the republicans leading the impeachment inquiry into president biden. former president trump has endorsed jordan for the job, but also backed kevin mccarthy an it still took 15 rounds for him to be elected speaker. a drawn out fight many republicans say they cannot afford to have this time around. >> rachel scott, thanks. demarco? coming up, the only undefeated nfl teams left, and the deion sanders effect. will reeve breaks down all the action in college and the pros when we come back. all the action and college and in the pros when we come back.

total siege. no water, electricity or gas. this morning another huge barrage of rockets from gaza crashing into israel, hours after israeli forces regained control of all the gaza border towns. and are now pummelling gaza from the air. it follows the deadliest day in israel history. crisis breaking out after dawn saturday when operatives from hamas stormed israel by pouring out of tunnels, bashing through the border fence using paragliders to get across into israel. it was an assault hamas covered with more than 2,200 rockets. air raid sirens going off as far as as tel aviv. israeli officials saying that many hundreds of militants killed indiscriminately. bodies left in the streets. some in cars. in other towns and villages, families desperately barricaded themselves in homes as militants raided towns, going door to door

looking to kill. many who weren't killed were forced into cars, mothers and children and seniors taken back to gaza as hostages. at least nine americans killed, according to the state department. at an israeli music festival, hundreds of concert goers seen running for their lives. rescuers say 260 bodies were removed from the desert after hamas attacked that concert. a video of drone footage showing the after math. cars abandoned, lining the road. hamas posting this video of the kidnapped. the young man in yellow is omar shento. his mother describes watching his phone tracker trail into gaza. >> i'm like in a dream and i won't wake up. i won't wake up. >> have you woken up yet? >> no. >> no? >> no. it's a nightmare. it's a nightmare that's real life. >> reporter: just as we wrapped the interview, people pouring into the house.

there's a siren right now. and we are now going into their bomb shelter together. about a dozen people huddled inside until the all clear. now the question so many israelis are asking is how their intelligence agencies missed this attack. hundreds of hamas operatives involved, the planning likely took months. another question is the extent to which israel tried to demolish hamas, militarily and politically. george? >> matt gutman, thanks. now to heightened security in the u.s. due to the conflict. aaron katersky joins us with details. good morning, aaron. >> reporter: george, good morning. the fbi is tracking no specific threat, but officials are warning the war in israel could spring more violence and hate crimes here in the united states. in fact, we've had a look at a new assessment from the nypd and it is blunt. it says the attacks against israel will likely result in additional acts of targeted

violence and will be heavily exploited in violent extremist propaganda. that means police across the country are paying extra attention to synagogues and mosques, israeli and palestinian government and cultural locations, and other sites that could be targets. the fear is the war could inspire copy cats or retaliation by lone actors, organized terror groups or white supremists would seek to capitalize, too. law enforcement was already grappling with a surge in hate crimes. as the nypd sees the war in israel is only going to make things worse, the airlines see things that way, too. american, united and delta have already suspended flights. united said conditions have to improve in israel before the flights can resume. george? >> aaron katersky, thanks. rebecca? we turn to capitol hill, as they try to find a replacement for ousted speaker kevin mccarthy. with the crisis unfolding and the deadline to fund the government right before thanksgiving.

police providing this footage of the arrest of 28-year-old randall reed in georgia, misidentified as a theft suspect for a crime committed in louisiana. >> i was confused because i had never been to louisiana. >> reporter: reed said he was detained in jail without bond for six days. now pursuing legal action against the deputies in the jefferson parish sheriffs office for their failure to reveal the facial recognition technology was the only source linking him to the crime. aclu said reed is among at least five black plaintiffs nationwide who have also filed lawsuits against law enforcement citing wrongful identification by the ai powered technology. >> disturbingly, it makes more mistakes when trying to identify darker skinned people, black people, other people of color, and women. so you have police relying on flawed and biased technology to make extraordinarily consequential decisions. >> reporter: reed's lawsuit stating, black individuals are

up to 100 times more likely to be misidentified by facial recognition systems than white men. the first lawsuit of its kind emerging from a 2020 incident, seen here in this footage, showing 43 robert williams being mistakenly identified as a theft suspect and arrested by detroit police. >> got to at least tell me where you're taking me. >> reporter: in 2019 michael oliver was wrongfully arrested and accused of larceny in a case he says he knew nothing about. similarly porshe woodruff arrested in a suspected carjacking, later released when charges were dropped once police realized she was eight months pregnant and the suspect wasn't. cities across the country are taking notes. since 2019, at least 20 cities in the u.s. have banned their police departments are using facial recognition systems, including san francisco, boston, new orleans, minneapolis and jackson, mississippi. rebecca? >> okay. thank you, stephanie.

we turn to a new book shaking up the conversation around puberty and offering a helpful guide to navigate those tricky topics with your teens. >> they sure are. it's called this is so awkward, modern puberty explained. the authors are here with us, a pediatrician and a puberty educator. welcome to you, both. it's a tricky topic indeed. i want to get right into it. cara, let' start with you. how is puberty different for kids today versus when we went through it? >> so it starts earlier. it lasts longer. it happens with a cell phone. three big differences. >> major. >> with that cell phone, let's talk a little bit about social media because obviously that's an impact here, vanessa. >> it's easy to demonize social media, but a lot of research tells us kids benefit from social media, particularly those marginalized, lgbtq + kids, people who don't have people like them in their communities can fine communities online. >> i found in many ways it was a

help to kate when she was going through it. what are some of the topics that you are willing to tackle? there are some tough ones. because there are some tough ones. >> we tackle it all. we tackle all the body changes that happen during puberty. that's what everyone has at the front of their mind when they see the name of the book. then we tackle everything that is related to all the hormones that cause puberty also have effects in your brain. they impact your relationships, your family relationships, your friendships, your romantic feelings. it's all in there. >> i'm glad you're tackling all of it. i laugh a little bit inside. i have a 4-year-old so she's not quite there yet. i think back to these kinds of conversations when we were kids. it was like so awkward. so hard to do. i love my parents. they did everything they could. but you say -- >> mine said, we're just gonna skip this conversation. >> my mom did a great job. my dad did, too. they tried really hard. you're saying you don't have to do it all in one fell swoop.

>> parents feel pressured to back up the dump truck and give their kids all the information at once. we think it's a million tiny conversations over many, many years. you have a decade. puberty lasts almost a decade. you have a lot of opportunities to have the conversations mess up and have the conversations again. >> it's okay if you mess up. >> it's important that you mess up because it' in the mistake making and the repair where kids actually learn to trust you and get good information. it's not in being a perfect parent. it's in the mistake. >> do you feel like your book does a good job sort of translating teens for us? and if so, how? >> that was our goal, was to translate teen. in fact, every chapter ends with an essay written by a kid who has just come out the other end of puberty. 18-22-year-old who can speak to the adult readers and say, this is how it really went for me on this particular topic, here are some pointers.

>> is there a particular topic where you see it especially going awry? >> i think hookup culture is a big one. >> i have so many questions. [ laughter ] there's so many new terms now. i'm literally like, wait, this means what now? terms that meant something to us mean something totally different now. whoa whoa whoa. what's happening? does it mean what we think it means? >> no. not only that, hookup culture means something different to every single person. weirdly, my mother and children have the same definition of hookup. my definition is completely different. >> isn't that funny? >> that's wild. >> it's pretty wild. >> situation shift. >> can you please share with us the definition? >> it is the giant bucket of every type of relationship. it's a situation shift. everything from talking, which is not talking, to dating. >> okay.

what about the whole hindsight, looking backwards at all of this, vanessa? >> it's really tempting for adults to say to kids, it is fine, it will all work out. in 20 years you won't even remember it. first of all, in 20 years, you will remember it. second it diminishes how they're feeling. it feels like a big deal to them and we need to respect that it feels like a big deal to them an empathize with them rather than dismiss it. >> that is a huge piece of advice. we should finish on that, empathize. understand that it really is a big deal, even though we might go, you'll be fine. you know? that's awesome. i'm really glad you wrote this book. we love the cover. >> we do. >> it' a great cover. it's been a pleasure talking to you all. this is so awkward, modern puberty explained is out tomorrow. now to ginger. >> we're going to need that soon. thank you very much. st. joseph, michigan, the big waves on lake michigan, the fall-like feel. some places in the lower peninsula picking up 3, 4 inches of rain. more is coming. we have a new storm going to
