heard avalanches on either side of the valley. and we thought we were going to get taken out. fortunately we had a snow cloud. up to came two, on the radio, checked in with base camp and learned the awful destruction in base camp. >> there are food supplies obviously, things that you guys need. tell us how critical it is that everyone get off that mountain as quickly as possible in terms of time. >> well, it's important because the route from base camp was totally destroyed by the earthquake, and the avalanches that came down. tried to climb the route back down. it was impossible. and the aftershocks creating more danger. the only option was to fly by helicopter. we had a break in the weather today and were able to get us out of there. >> this had to be we're talking earlier like the worst possible time for this type of a tragedy to happen because explain that this is actually the time where a lot of people try to climb that mountain.

r latest weather. savannah? >> thank you so much. now to the talk of washington and the 2016 presidential race right now. it's the new book called clinton cash that raises questions about hillary clinton, her family's foundation and its foreign donors might have influenced policy during clinton's time as secretary of state. peter schweitzer is the author and he joins us this morning. >> good morning. >> let's put it bluntly. are you hoping this book and the issues you raise in it torpedo her candidacy? >> this is not really motivated to her candidacy. i've done two previous books that looked at corruption and looked at people in both political parties. what we have with the clintons is a unique arrangement where you have a powerful you know, public figure who's involved with all these foreign entities. >> if a person believes every word in yo book wouldn't that be disqualifying with everything

you're saying. you say people donate and get favorable treatment by the state department run by hillary clinton. >> certainly the evidence i think is pretty shocking and could have that implication. but really the motivation is consistent with my previous work to look at the whole issue of corruption. >> do you have any specific instance in which hillary clinton directly intervenes on behalf of donors to the clinton foundation? >> it's a great question. what we have is a pattern of behavior. i was not in any of these meetings. i can't look into hillary clinton's mind. i certainly can't look at her e-mails. so the question becomes what is this pattern? and this pattern consistently shows that donors give large sums of money to the foundation where they pay bill clinton a lot for a speech. there's a policy action that's taken to the benefit of that donor. in some of those instances hillary cl reversing course on previous policy position. that's why my recommendation is

somebody with subpoena power, with investigative capabilities should look at this behavior. >> you think this is something that could be criminally investigated. >> i think it should be. i don't go in with the assumption it was criminal but i think it warrants further investigation. >> if everything in your book were put before jurors let's say, in a court of law and we were told to assume it is true have you proven a quid pro quo? >> well i don't think a quid pro quo needs to be the standard. if you look at senator macdonalds, menendez those were not kwid pro quos. it's do people believe the events were connected and there was some sort of pay to play arrangement? and that's a question i can't answer but i think investigators should look into. >> you started off mentioning you've done bipartisan investigations. but a lot of your critics say you are conservative and this is a right wing hit job.

are you really claiming to be neutral here? >> i'm not claiming to be neutral. but if you look at my work i have gone aggressively after republicans. i did a book on insider trading by members of congress and went after several republicans. >> you also did a book called "makers and takers" whose sub title said conservatives even hug their children more than liberals. >> i say read the conclusion to the book where what i'm arguing is on the left and right there's a misuse of science research. it was a humorous title. that's the reason it was put that way. >> got to go. jeb bush is your next target. >> yeah. >> got a headline? >> we're looking at airport deals to land deals, but we've been on that investigation about four months. >> the book is called "clinton cash." thank you very much. coming up the desperate race to find a group of missing sailors off the coast. a survivor opens up about his harrowing ordeal. plus matt's exclusive

kardashian-west. speaking out about bruce jenner's gender transition and they talk about how she and the rest of the family took the news. >> bruce is the most honest, just he has the biggest heart. i'm really happy for him that he is living his life the way he wants to live it. and that he has found inner peace and just pure happiness. that's what life is about. i don't know what life would be like if you always felt like you weren't yourself. and i know it's not something that you or i could really fully understand. but i don't even think we have to. i think as long as he is happy, and he wants to live his life how ever he wants to live it, that just makes me happy. and i support him 100%. >> did the support take time?

was there an adjustment time for family members to kind of get used to this idea? >> i think there is still an adjustment and there's, you know family therapy and we're really close. you know i see reports that say, you know, this one doesn't support him and this one is over here and my mom feels this way and it's all really so made up. we all really support him. is it a hard adjustment, yes. is there things that we have learned more recently and it's an adjustment on how to deal with it. it's a daily process. >> can you give me a sense of an adjustment, give me an example of what it takes to adjust. >> even just the discussion, we have been talking to people from, you know the glaad organization and different organizations on what do we call him? do we say him or her? and it's, you know, how do we be respectful that's so many things -- there's so many things you want to be supportive and respectful.

bruce wants us to feel as comfortable as possible and take everything at our own pace. we love him for that and we respect him for that. you know until that transition is done, we have learned that you do refer to him as him. but bruce has always been really really good at explaining everything to us. even though it's really new and these have been newer feelings -- not newer feelings for him, but for us to digest. he's done a really good job of walking us through it. >> do you have any idea the attention he'll get for a certain period of time? paparazzi with one of the long lenses grabbed photos of him and they're splashed across the tabloid newspaper. is he prepared for that? >> i think he is prepared for it. i think that he has waited almost 65 years to make this decision. whether he's kept it to himself or not. he's lived with it. and i think that when you are finally ready to be your true

self, then you're prepared for anything. >> was there a family meeting? the family gathers in the living room? >> there were lots of family meetings. >> and bruce tells his story, that's embracing and hugging and tears and laughter? >> every emotion you could possibly imagine. there is hundreds of family meetings. we still have them. say what you want about us but we work out everything as a family and we have the best communication and we are so in sync with each other. i love having so many siblings and such a supportive mom because each family member might be dealing with this in a different way, but we have each other to go through this experience with. i'm really grateful for that. >> that's amazing. bruce, i grew up watching him

and admiring him as a decathlete, an olympic champion. but over the course of the "keeping one the kardashians" he wanted to remain in background and now that spotlight is you were theed back on him in a very intense way. >> i think he's ready for the challenge and ready to help other people's lives that might be going through the same things that he's going through and that's something he's really proud of. and something that he is really ready to take on. i'm really proud of him for that. >> what a fascinating thing, isn't it? >> interesting to hear how they feel. because they were on the front lines, they knew what was going on. it was interesting when he said friday night, all the time -- all the shows we did together on e and i have the story the whole time. >> i'd like to hear from kris

but an enhanced risk stretching just east of lake charles, into new orleans. and for tomorrow we've got more severe weather possible along the gulf coast right on into the panhandle of florida. at least 2.5 million people at risk with isolated that's w 8:15, good morning. mostly clear and very warm for today. right now, still cool enough for a light jacket. we're on our way to the mid to upper 80s today. that's 88 in the tri-valley. 79 for the peninsula today. 81 here in the south bay. meanwhile, warm day in the north bay, up to 84 degrees later on. through the week temperatures drop off significantly especially tomorrow. staying nice and cool wednesday, boosting back up toward the end of the week. have a great monday. get the weather any time you need it. go to the weather channel on cable. weather channel.com online. savannah. al thank you so much. now to more on bruce jenner's extraordinary revelation that he

wants to live as a woman. his decision to speak out is leading to a national communication about the transgender community. here is dr. phil mcgraw, psychologist. author of "the 20/20 diet." good morning. good to see you. >> good to see you. >> do you think this is a watershed moment in terms of talking about these issues and understanding them? >> i do for this reason. i think any time someone that's high profile, someone that gets attention talks about an issue and pushes it to the forefront of the narrative in the country, then it's a game changer. it gets people that weren't talking about it before really talking about it. it opens their mind and something that they might have been really judgmental about before usually because of a lack of information now sit back and thought, they look at it and go, wow, i'm not so threatened about it after hearing about it. >> especially like someone like bruce jenner who we've heard about in decades. we'll play a piece of the interview and talk about it on

the other side. >> sure. >> this is who i am. i'm not stuck in anybody's body it's just who i am as a human being. my brain is much more female than it is male. it's hard for people to understand that, but that's what my soul is. >> i think it is hard for people even if they want to understand it to figure out what is going on here. what does -- what do we know medically about what causes this? >> well physicians particularly neurologists tell us that we're born essentially all with the same brain and then however much testosterone is bombarded and absorbed by the brain then begins to determine what the gender identity is going to be and i think here what he's saying is he has felt like he had much more of a female identity than what he was expressed in terms of his external genitalia.

so all of this time he's felt one way but then been identified differently. and can you imagine the confusion? can you imagine the frustration of feeling that all of this time? and so now to say, okay that masquerade is over. how freeing must that be? can you just imagine? >> well he seemed to literally almost have the weight off of his shoulders in this interview. let me ask you about another item in the news. dr. oz who similar to you is a doctor who came to fame from oprah, has been facing some scrutiny. i just wondered what you thought of it if you think it's fair how you feel about what he's going through. >> i don't think it's fair. i think sometimes language can get excitable and that sort of thing, but i don't think it's fair. i think he is a solid physician. i think he largely gives good advice and i think that sometimes you can get into a feeding frenzy and just way overreact to things.

i think he's a good guy. i think he gives good advice and i think he's very solid as a physician. >> meantime your show is off to its new season. you have a really interesting case today that you're going to be talking about, a man who was convicted of second degree child abuse, but the circumstances aren't necessarily what people might think? >> i always say you have to take any of these allegations seriously until they're proven otherwise, and i always believe the child. i always believe it because you don't want to leave a child uninvestigated when an allegation is there, but when you investigate them sometimes you find out that things have been overreacted to. i think people are going to look at this and be horrified at what has happened in america here. sometimes you get a badge heavy social worker, sometimes you get people that over react. we've got a man in prison here and i think it is shocking that this has happened in america. i think when people look at this they're going to be worried. and i don't want people to get

afraid of taking their children to the emergency room because that can happen. i'm afraid to go because i could leave without my baby. >> i think the case brings up a lot of provocative questions, dr. phil. we'll look for that. you can catch his shows weekdays check your local listings. if you want to read an excerpt of "the 20/20 diet" check it out on our website joompt kim kardashian had more to say to matt about her family her marriage and selfies. >> browse kim kardashian west instagram page and you'll find it's full of selfies. it turns out a woman who's constantly photographed by the paparazzi likes taking pictures of herself, and she's compiled a few hundred of her favorites in a new book called selfish. >> you're naked a lot in here. >> not too naked. >> you're naked a bunch in here. >> not too naked. isn't that what -- that's really what girls do when they take

selfies? >> is it really? because guys don't. >> some guys do. >> maybe guys you know -- >> actually no one i know but i hear about it. >> if you take such a large percentage of pictures of yourself -- >> yes. >> -- it does open this whole line of questioning as to are you self-obsessed? are you an incredibly vein person? and have you always been that way? >> i can understand how someone would say that you must be really vein if you're taking selfies all day long or wanting photos of yourself. >> it's an ego thing. >> to me it's really about capturing a memory. is it a little ridiculous? is it vein yes? but it's fun and you get to capture all of these memories at the same time. >> so this is maybe a delicate question, and i don't mean to dive too personally into your life. have you since that first well-publicized issue, have you ever gone back there? have you ever taken -- >> no. >> -- videos or pictures that you would be horribly embarrassed -- >> no. >> -- if they were to show up

online? >> no. >> that lesson has been learned? >> yes. >> that bridge has not been crossed again? >> exactly. no. everything i do i always in the back of my mind have the intention that this could always go online and i have had this conversation with my little sisters, like girls, everything that you do could potentially end up online. >> although she's very young now. >> yes. >> when north gets older, those will be the rules that you have laid down in your household? >> yes, but i also will give her the freedom if she is way more conservative than i am then that would be great, you know as well. if she's comfortable with herself -- >> if she's more liberal than you are? >> then depending on how liberal -- >> kim's life and that of her family has become an open book thanks largely to their hit reality show "keeping up with the kardashians." her daughter north turns two in june and kim and her husband

kanye west are about to celebrate one year of marriage. >> everybody says that married couples fight basically about three things. >> yes. what are the three things? >> money, sex. i don't think the money is the problem, right? >> sex. >> we don't fight about sex. >> and children. >> we don't fight about children children. >> do you fight about the children? >> i do. he's strict on things. he locks things. he makes sure when things are locked. it's a safety. >> planner. >> he's a planner and i never thought he would plan out that much. >> kim says she hopes he and kanye hope to expand their family but admits it's been a struggle. >> would you consider adopting? would you consider a surrogate? >> they have recommended to me to get a surrogate. i would like to hold out a

little bit longer and still try, still have hope. never say never. we haven't talked about adopting. i think you get kind of over it to the point where i am so blessed that i have one and i don't want to take my focus off of her so much. >> and when it comes to the paparazzi, kim says motherhood has changed her perspective. >> when i was like in my early 20s and i was going out in l.a. all the time it was so much fun. i feel like once you have a family of your own and i'm in my 30s, you get kind of over it. my husband hates it. i'm okay. i realize that there's like a time and a place and i love the power that you have that you can put out your own photos and take a little bit of power away from them. >> that's a cute picture. >> cute one to end on. >> all right. let's go outside to hoda. >> oh,, indeed savannah. we have a huge crowd out here. they're all ready to welcome romeo santos.

weekend. of course friday the bruce jenner news, then the white house correspondents dinner. >> you guys went. >> yes. and ellen and matt finally allegedly putting their prank war behind them at the daytime emmy awards. >> no. >> so we thought. and then not so much. >> ellen and i are here to announce that we are officially ending our prank war. >> oh, matt please. this is a dignified celebration. this is the best of daytime. my god. pull it together. matt has generously offered to donate $1,000 of his own money to charity any time one of y'all thank matt lauer in your speech tonight. >> that's right. >> and as you might imagine the matt lauer thank yous poured in. >> matt lauer, how generous of you. thank you, thank you, thank you. thank you, thank you, thank you. >> thank you matt lauer.

thank you, matt lauer, very much indeed. thank you matt lauer. >> matt lauer, you are absolutely incredible. >> i'd like to thank matt lauer's mother and father for having him. >> thank you, matt lauer. >> never has one man been thanked so much. >> that was great. 16 people. $16,000. matt will be here wednesday so we'll find out how they plan to work this out. >> how he's getting ellen back. >> i don't know with what he was wearing it was thank you or spank you. >> you rehearsed that for hour. >> no. . i rehearsed it would have been better. >> i wonder how he gets her back. it keeps going on and on. well, i think the interview we were all talking about friday night certainly the bruce jenner interview. had 17 million viewers. this is the big one he reveals he's now transitioning to life as a woman. and here is some of what he said in an interview with diane

sawyer. >> i had the story. we've done 425 episodes, i think, over almost eight years now. and the entire run i kept thinking to myself, oh my god. this whole thing, the one real true story in the family was the one i was hiding and nobody knew about it. the one thing that could really make a difference in people's lives was right here in my soul and i could not tell that story. >> and now he's finally telling the story. such a fascinating interview. let's tell you what matt had to -- he interviewed kim, his stepdaughter and hear what she

had to say about her stepfather's announcement. take a listen. >> know what life would be like if you always felt like you weren't yourself. and i know it's not something that you or i could really fully understand, but i don't even think we have to. i think as long as he is happy and he wants to live his life however he wants to live it, that just makes me happy. and i support him 100%. i think there is still an adjustment and there's family therapy and we're really close. you know, i see reports that say this one doesn't support him and this one's over here and my mother is this way. it's all really so made up. we all really support him. is it a hard adjustment? yes. is there things we have learned more recently and -- it's an adjustment on how to deal with it. it's a daily process. >> so fascinating. i think it was really

interesting going back to diane sawyer's interview was she asked bruce who was the most accepting. he said kim was the first one -- i guess he walked in on him as he was dressed as a woman and kind of ignored it for a bit. he said when i talked to her about it, kim was the one that said you got to rock it, girl. you got to accept it. she also said -- what i thought was fascinating was bruce said that kanye actually helped kim come to that idea and understanding that you can have everything in the world but if you're not living as your true self then there's the happiness in that. >> i thought it was interesting how many moments he did smile and there was just this relief about him. he told that kim story. i think that happened before she ever met kanye when she was much younger. he also talked about kylie and kendall having their computer in the room set up because they thought that each other had been swiping clothes and he said the

only full length mirror in their home was in their room and they got a screen grab of him. but the family never talked about it. so according to him, kris jenner was aware from when they married because he at the time was taking hormones and they also talked about his other wives as well. >> who are supportive. >> very supportive. but it was a secret to us. but in their home it was -- they were aware. they were just not talking about it. pretty interesting. really intriguing. >> i find interesting and hat's off to him because he sees this as a bigger than just himself. and he sees this as perhaps being a door opening for other transgenders to step through. and for people to talk about it. and we are. >> and it was an education. he talked about gender identification versus who you might date. diane asked if you got married

again, who would you marry? >> are you gay. yeah. >> so there's a lot more to come because other people have talked about it. if you looked at social media, we were in washington d.c. and had some pre-events. i rushed out because i wanted to see it live and track social media. but he definitely wants to see the positive response and it was overwhelming. >> what's interesting, i think is that he has become in a sense this litmus test for bullying online. and people -- the people who are making jokes have been instantly shut down. >> kris humphries, kim kardashian's husband before kanye tweeted, glad i got out of that family. #be you or whatever. people instantly went in on him. he said no, no, i've always been supportive. but the initial tweet seemed or implied that he was kind of being snarky. >> it was such a courageous

thing for him to do to be now the most public and most famous face in the transgender community. and i thought it was also just so sad in a way watching the interviews to think he lived 65 years harboring this secret. when he talked about he was going to get his adams apple shaved and the paparazzi apparently became aware. >> somebody leaked it out. >> he thought to himself i could just end this. i could just take a gun and make things easy. that speaks volumes to how much the transgender community, they need somebody like this to take away the stigma. >> and he handled it with class. >> it happened when it's supposed to happen. >> absolutely. this weekend we mentioned a couple times we were at the white house correspondents dinner saturday night. they call it the nerd prom even though the celebrities there outnumber -- i don't know any nerds that look as cool as some of the people we ran into. chrissy teigen.

nothing nerdy about her. tara lapin ski and johnny wier. best part of the night riding in the bus van with them. he's the best. we love him. so both president obama and host "snl's" cecily strong came to play and to win. take a listen. >> i feel more loose and relaxed than ever. those joe biden shoulder massages, they're like magic. >> i want all the media to put their hands up and swear something this election season, okay? i solemnly swear not to talk about hillary's appearance because that is not journalism. >> that was a great moment when she did that. cecily was fantastic. >> she got mixed reviews but i

thought she did a terrific job. >> that is a tough room. >> and she came out swinging. there were a couple of jokes, i mean, people were like whoa. >> yeah. when you're looking at the president talking about his white hair. >> she went from cnn to nbc to msnbc, fox. she slayed everyone. helena andrews came under fire. apparently we were there so we missed this moment. there was a glimpse of her texting during the national anthem. and she later tweeted apparently someone saw me on tv texting during the dinner. i was taking notes on my phone because it's 2015 #white house correspondents dinner. we reached out to her but haven't got a comment. everything you're doing people are examining. >> you're taking notes but you could hold off for the minute it takes for the national anthem.

>> i would think. >> i don't know what was so breaking at that moment that she had to take notes that she couldn't remember for a minute let me put a pin in that while the national and them was playing. >> the night moves fast. was she unaware? >> everybody is standing and paying attention. >> it's baffling to me. i try to give people the benefit of the doubt but i don't know. so i didn't think that this was a big deal either but apparently people were talking about chrissy teigen's dress. i thought it was one of the most beautiful dresses of the night. let's show it. >> very sexy. >> but chrissy teigen is sexy. there was a slit. but here's the deal. i stood right next to her. it's the angle of the photograph. certain angles. my dress -- you were with me al. >> yes. >> when i took the selfie at home my dress did not seem as

voluptuous. on the red carpet i was startled. you know i was. >> i know you were. >> i was startled by some of the pictures. >> i was too. >> my dress had a veil but every time people hugged you, it would come down. i was almost ready to go home. >> you were afraid your mother was going to see these. >> when i finally saw one of the selfies of us together i was like are you kidding me and i kept pulling it up. it was bad. but lesson learned. >> you and chrissy together looked really good. good bookend. >> that picture i tweeted out that picture, that was the most favorited picture that i've ever taken. >> i bet. >> but that's a lesson learned about red carpet and the illusion. because those two dresses did not appear that way in person. >> my jacket was an off the shoulder number. >> al i almost went home and you know i did. >> i know you did. glad you didn't.

anyway. we got some severe weather to talk about right now. we are watching these thunderstorms firing up. houston, texas, right now we've got showers and thunderstorms. they've moved to the east and making their way through louisiana. tampa you're looking at heavier storms later on today. we have tornado watches, severe thunderstorm warnings as well pushing through. we'll watch this during the day today where we have the risk of strong storms but also an enhanced risk. we'll watch this as the 9:13. good monday morning. i'm meteorologist christina loren. pacifica, not a cloud in the sky. no low clouds to keep us comfortable. later today, temperatures will soar inland, 88 degrees for today in the tri-valley. that's about 15 degrees above average. 79 for the peninsula. 81 degrees for us in the south

relationship based on respect, admiration, love, and humor. i hear there's a little dispute over the conga lyrics. emily, you've been singing it wrong the whole time? >> i only recently learned that my daughter who has heard this song possibly -- i don't know millions. since she was born. thought that conga said once the music hits your sister. there's no way you're going to stop. what was the mother part? >> this is my -- the reason i thought it said that is because i thought it said feel the rhythm mother is it getting stronger. i was like okay, the mother's in there. the sister is. >> reporter: but along with the laughter we retreated to a behind the scenes mother/daughter duet of a song mom recorded back in 2013. why do you think you were able
