of rain fell in the carolinas in the past week. >> 11 trillion gallons. that's coming up. we begin with that scary threat, russian smugglers trying to sell nuclear material to isis. a dramatic takedown overseas. abc's brian ross starts us off. this is the national security danger that keeps officials up at night. >> reporter: absolutely right, george. this morning authorities in the eastern european country of moldova say they've broken up a criminal ring with ties to russia prepared to sell radioactive material to isis, supposedly for a dirty bomb to target america. mole dove van police released this video this morning showing a series of raids and arrests earlier this year and late last year. the targets were a small group of men that authorities say were connected to russian intelligence agencies and were offering radioactive materials including uranium 235 and cesium which experts say in much larger amounts could be used to make a dirty bomb. there was no actual isis

involvement but undercover mole dove van agents posed as members and their sting operation showed that the men offering the material would have had no hesitation to sell to isis if the price had been right. a senior u.s. counterterror officer told abc news this week there's been no indication whatsoever that isis has made any attempts or has much interest in using radioactive material to build a dirty bomb, that the isis group focuses more on much simpler more easily obtainable weapons including the trove of chemical agents this he may have taken from the arsenal >> so concerned about any terror if they do there's no deterring >> in the last year russia stopped cooperating with the u.s. and creating upgrades to its nuclear thresholds. >> thanks very much. george, the race now for president. "your voice, your vote," and gop hopeful ben carson making waves with his comments about last week's college shooting in oregon. and guns in the classroom. abc's cecilia vega is in cedar

rapids, iowa, tracking the campaign. good morning, cecilia. >> reporter: robin, good morning to you. ben carson says he knows exactly what he would have done had he come face-to-face with that gunman and now those comments have him on the hot seat. this morning, rising gop star dr. ben carson is under fire after making these controversial comments about gun control. >> i would not just stand there and let them shoot me. i would say, hey, guys, everybody attack him. he may shoot me but he can't get us all. >> take action. >> carson on "the view" tuesday suggesting some kindergarten teachers should be armed. >> you obviously are not just going to have a weapon sitting on the kindergarten teacher's desk. it would be secured in a place where kids could not get to it. >> overnight the retired neurosurgeon not backing down talking about last week's deadly campus shooting in oregon. >> these incidents continue to occur. i doubt that this will be the last one. i want to plant the seed in people's minds so that if this

happens again, you know, they don't all get killed. >> reporter: carson also bashing president obama's plan to visit with the victims of that shooting saying if he were elected he would not go. >> i mean, i would probably have so many things on my agenda that i'd go to the next one. >> reporter: yeah, carson accusing president obama and hillary clinton of politicizing these mass shootings. this is not the first controversial comment this candidate has made, george. you will remember carson said he president. >> that's right but he is cecilia, thanks very much. to the democrats now, jon karl joins us from washington. this joe biden buzz is building especially this new poll out just moments ago. >> reporter: that's right, george, the headline in these new polls is that joe biden does much better against republicans than hillary clinton. just take a look at the matchup against the current republican front-runner. these polls are from three state, ohio, pennsylvania and florida. in each state hillary clinton runs neck and neck with donald trump, but joe biden, he

trounces trump in each of those states doing much better than clinton and, george, this holds up across the board against every republican candidate biden does significantly better than hillary clinton and it's easy to see why, he is seen as more honest and trust worthy by voters and voters believe he understands their problems better than hillary clinton. >> although in the polls she is leading him in the head-to-head matchups. >> reporter: among democrat, yes. >> no one knows what yeo is thinking but this group pushing for him to get in is taking action. >> draft biden and they have made a television ad that they intend to run right before that democratic debate on tuesday. they want to make sure that just because biden is not in the first democratic debate, that voters don't forget about him. that they know he is still making preparations for a possible run so this is a 90-second ad, quite an emotional ad, george, i've seen it. it uses a speech that biden gave just two weeks before his son beau passed away talking about the tragedies that have hit his family.

>> as everyone waits for a biden decision. thanks very much. to the historic flooding in south carolina. people are returning home assessing the damage but many are not in the clear yet and with rivers still rising, abc's rob marciano is in summerville, south carolina, along the ashley river. good morning, rob. >> good morning, robin. you can see this river behind me, it flows into charleston and how quickly it's moving. a powerful putting a lot of pressure on the bridge so it is shut down. 1 of 143 bridges shut down across this state. it's very difficult for emergency crews and first responders to get to where they're needed most, putting one more level of anxiety on this struggling state. this morning, the historic rainfall may have stopped in south carolina, but the state's recovery is far from over. >> it was up over the sandbags rising. >> reporter: residents now focusing on the cleanup but with rising waters still posing imminent threats they are not yet in the clear.

>> we are now looking at downstream, waters and other areas that are going to be affected. >> reporter: right now at least 40,000 homes are still without drinking water. the national guard handing out cases of water bottles to long lines of cars. >> i have three children at home. we don't have anything to even flush toilets or take showers. >> reporter: helicopter footage showing the so far billions of dollars worth of damage from above. more than 400 roads and bridges closed. at least 11 dams failed. the national guard dropping sandbags weighing thousands of pound answer transporting construction equipment from chinook helicopters to keep this columbia canal stable. one which nearby residents depend on for water. >> everything is gone. history is gone. >> reporter: this local business destroyed after this dam broke in lexington. >> when we actually found out what was going on there was no building left. >> reporter: over,000 national guard across this state protecting people from getting

the resident of that home renning a u-haul ready to move themselves and belongings out of harm's way when and if the river gets close. george. >> what an epic storm. thanks very much. severe storms now in the southwest and ginger, look at that hail behind you. >> yeah, looks almost like snow but it is accumulating hail. the people had put the towels and blankets over their car to protect them and this was in horizon city, texas, so west texas got it. also the flash flooding in arizona, these pictures just west of phoenix, so the same region going to have severe storms and potential for flash flooding further east, i know tucson had a bunch of hail yesterday and now into new mexico and far west texas. we will be watching that for damaging wind, potential dust that kicks up too. >> thank you. now to that cargo ship that went down in hurricane joaquin. the coast guard finding more debris but still no survivors. a team of ntsb investigators now on the scene and abc's linzie janis is in florida with the latest.

>> reporter: good morning, robin. families of the crew have been gathering here at the sea farers union daily and the ntsb bringing a team dedicated to helping them through this investigation that's now under way alongside that search at sea. overnight the search for survivors of the "el faro" growing increasingly desperate. the coast guard discovering more debris including this container door but so far no new signs of the rest of the ship's 33 crew members since a body was discovered floating inside a survival suit three days ago. the ntsb now on the scene vowing to find out what happened. >> we hit the ground running. we leave no stone unturned. >> reporter: priority number one, finding the ship's voyage data recorder or its black box. it will begin pinging. and it has a battery life of 30 days. so far, no ping. and this morning, the big question for investigators, did

mechanical problems slow down the "el faro" leaving it in joaquin's path? or did the hurricane itself damage the vessel causing it to lose power? >> the captain did not explain in his communication why he had lost propulsion. >> reporter: overnight, the ntsb also saying the ship's owners may have been considering taking the "el faro" out of service. now, the company has previously called it 100% seaworthy saying it was being readied for george. >> okay, thanks. a health alert. with flu season here more than 76 million doses of the vaccine have gone out but patients at one clinic alarmed after they discovered the nurse giving out the vaccines was reusing the same syringe between patients. dr. richard besser is here and, rich, this has to be risky. >> it is risky. when you're giving an injection infection control is your number one concern and let me show you what she did. she when you think about a syringe there's two parts, the

she took -- used a new needle for every patient but used the same plastic syringe and when you do that, it increases the chance that blood from one patient can come in contact with another patient. >> so what should patients watch out for now as we are heading into flu season? >> here the risk was of getting a viral infection, help tight is or hiv, there can be testing of these people and we know from previous times it happened the risk is very low. three things to watch for, first thing is get a flu shot. i know people are going to hear this and they'll think that the risks outweigh the benefits. it cuts down on your risk of flu. the second is pay attention. if you want to make sure that they're drawing it up in front of you and using alcohol on the vial and your arm and, third, if you see anything out of the ordinary, ask questions. >> i'm sure there will be a lot of questions coming in and >> i will. >> amy with the other top stories starting with a call for more troops in afghanistan, amy. >> that's right, george. the top u.s. commander in afghanistan wants to keep a larger military presence on the ground. the u.s. had initially planned to leave no more than 1,000

troops in afghanistan beyond next year, but general john campbell tells congress conditions have changed and more troops are now needed. the general also taking responsibility for the air strike on an afghan hospital calling it a mistake. he is ordering troops to be retrained on when they can use firepower. doctors without borders is demanding an independent investigation. well, nearly 6,000 federal prisoners are about to walk free. the largest number ever to be released by the justice department at one time. most of the inmates are non nonviolent drug offenders. the release is part of a new effort to reduce drug sentences and prison overcrowding. many americans will be saving big money in winter. the energy department is predicting the cost of home heating oil will drop 25% compared to last year and propane will be 18% cheaper. saving homeowners hundreds of dollars. natural gas and electric bills will also drop, but not by as much. and volkswagen planning to

start that massive recall of diesel cars in january to fix software that falsely reported emission levels. the company has been given a deadline of today to explain how it plans to make that fix. meanwhile, the u.s. senate is now investigating the company's use of tax credits. well, it was a wild scene in australia. a suspect fleeing police, he had nowhere to go so he drives on a beach and then still has nowhere to go decides to go ahead and take that right on into the ocean. shockingly, he didn't get away. in fact, the getaway turned into a rescue effort as the suv was sinking he eventually got on the roof, was rescued by police and promptly arrested. and finally a new tourist attraction that has gone from thrilling to chilling. take a look at this new glass walkway. it is suspended 3500 feet high on the side of a mountain in china. it opened two weeks ago and it had been very popular until this happened.

one of the glass panels started cracking when someone dropped their coffee mug on it. reports of screaming and a mass dash to get to the other side, the walkway started to shake. there was a large bang and the glass was shattered. pretty incredible. but, hey, you know what officials say, no one was in any danger. >> wait a minute. a coffee cup. >> a coffee mug shattered the glass. now, it is closed for repair. >> not too comforting. >> but i don't know who is going to get back up on that hinge. >> no one was in danger. >> no. >> i'm not trying it. >> no. thank you, amy. what that michigan woman who won the powerball did when she found out she hit the $310 million jackpot other than scream for joy, of course, in

i was done. >> reporter: julie leach bought $20 in quick picks at this michigan shell station on her way to work wednesday night. by 1:00 a.m. on her lunch break she finally remembered to check her numbers. un unaware that an hour earlier at midnight she'd won the powerball. >> having a really bad night at work. thought, well, i might as well check my numbers while i'm sitting here waiting for my lunch and that's when i realized that i was the winner. i didn't believe it. >> reporter: for 23 years she worked at aquatic bathware. >> fiberglass factory, nasty, dirty job. >> reporter: her boyfriend of 36 years vaughn avery is a factory worker too. she woke him up that night to tell him the news. >> i woke him up, told him he got up and said, we won. he said, what. we won. i said i won the lottery. we won the lottery. oh, get out of here. i said -- >> i was in disbelief. >> reporter: 36 years together but never married.

welcome back to "gma." you're looking live at the rushing water of the ashley river in south carolina. one of so many swollen in that state. at least 11 dams have been breached. tens of thousands still without power or drinking water. >> it could be weeks before that water goes down. good morning, america, on this wednesday morning. we are following that story and here are some other headlines, as well. a major strike looming at chrysler, workers threatening to walk off the job at midnight after the union rejected the latest contract offer. a strike could cost the company $300 million in revenue per day. and the astros are on to the next round of the playoffs. they beat the yankees last night in the american league wild card game. the cubs and pirates play tonight national's leak wild

the hands of the jury as early as today. that story. good morning, linsey. robin. last year a jury found julie harper not guilty of first degree murder. this morning a new jury will begin deliberating on whether murder. who will the jury believe when they begin deliberations in the case of julie harper, the 42-year-old san diego stay-at-home mom charged with second degree murder for the death of her husband, jason. >> jason harper wanted to live. she chose to pull the trigger. >> julie harper was a victim of domestic violence. he became enraged. >> reporter: two very different versions of that morning in 2012 when harper shot her husband in their carlsbad bedroom while her children watched cartoons downstairs. she admits to killing the popular high school math teacher and volleyball coach but claims

>> julie harper shot jason out of anger and scorn. not out of justifiable self-defense. >> reporter: prosecutors calling into question her claims of verbal and physical abuse. and alleged sexual assault at the hands of her husband. >> she lied to you when she said that a beloved high school math teacher was a secret rapist for years. >> reporter: harper also claims the gun went off by accident. >> i never intended to shoot him. i only intended to scare him and hopefully stop him. >> reporter: but the prosecution allowed jurors monday to testify fire a similar handgun to the one she used but police never recovered. a firearms expert testifying it's no hair trigger. ten pounds of pressure is needed to fire. >> some woman who has no prior history of violence who is living there and the kids are playing and stuff like that decided to grab a deering injure and shoot somebody. there must be more to it than that.

not plausible harper shot her husband unprovoked. >> the history of julie harper does not lead one to believe that all of a sudden she turned into an assassin. >> reporter: later this morning prosecutors will present their rebuttal argument and the case will go to the jury of seven women and five men. if found guilty julie harper faces 40 years to life in prison. robin. >> all right, linsey, thank you. abc's dan abrams is here with more on this. tell us what's different this time in this trial. >> prosecutors can streamline their case more meaning first degree murder is off the table because the jury acquitted her of that. as a result they don't have to focus on issues like premeditation. and one of the key things that we saw in court was that each and every one of these jurors was able to actually hold one of the guns that was used, not the actual gun, but another gun to show how hard it would have been to actually pull the trigger by accident. remember, her defense is, you know, i was holding the gun and the gun goes off by accident. what these jurors are doing by

pulling it to show you how hard it is is really important for the prosecution's case because it belies the notion of accidental shooting. >> is it unusual that was allowed? >> it's very unusual. it's very unusual. not unheard of but to literally sit there and have each and every one -- i've seen in other cases where they've asked and the judges have said no. >> what about her testimony? >> it's the case, right. when you're talking about self-defense, in this particular case, the evidence is her testimony. so, if they don't believe her, she's done. if they do believe her, prosecutors have a tough case. it's critical. >> the children's testimony has been heartbreaking. >> so heartbreaking. i'm. >> they didn't witness it, though. >> they heard it and so they become critical witnesses but more importantly, the girl is talking about how upset she is killed daddy. can you imagine? >> huh-uh, i can't. we'll see what happens this time. >> yeah. >> we'll find out maybe today. dan, thanks. we turn to the scandal swirling around those fantasy

sports sites. new york's attorney general investigating fanduel and draftkings to find out if some of their employees won large amounts thanks to inside information. reena ninan has the latest. >> reporter: draftkings combines one-day fantasy sports with winning life-changing amounts of cash. >> reporter: you've seen the ads promising the possibility of big bucks for outsmarting the fantasy football competition. >> just choose a league, pick your team and get your cash winnings after monday night. >> reporter: but this morning, new york's attorney general eric sneiderman launching a probe into the unregulated multibillion dollar industry. daily fantasy sports sites, draftkings and fanduel, share internal information and policies for combating fraud. this after explosive revelations that an employee of draftkings won $350,000 on the fanduel site and may have posted inside information about his own site. >> it's something we're taking a look at.

fraud is fraud. >> reporter: the company is denying wrongdoing issuing a joint statement saying nothing is more important than the integrity of the games we offer. >> we value openness and transparency and it's the first time we've had anyone call in to question in such a public fashion whether our games have integrity or not and that's everything to us. >> reporter: deciding to temporarily block employees from participating in all online fantasy sports for money. critics view these fantasy leagues as excuses to bet on sports without any regulations. >> how is it any different from sports betting? i don't see it. why, because you call it fantasy? >> reporter: big bucks on the line. both sites valued at over a billion dollars. they have until next thursday to respond to the attorney general's complaints. george. >> okay, reena, thanks very much. coming up here, "gma on the money." secret ways to save big on your next trip to the dentist. t.j. has that. >> yeah, secret way, george. how about just asking your dentist about his monday morning discount. you got that coming up right

spying family but it's what's behind her own gorgeous grin threatening to drill a hole in their wallet. >> a dull constant ache. >> reporter: she has $4500 worth of out of pocket dental work she needs done, an extraction, two crowns and a root canal. >> as a mother you want to make first. i think you just kind of forget, you know, that maybe you need to take care of yourself too sometimes. >> reporter: we brought in health savings guru jason szcuka. first up, jason says, shop around. >> what you pay out of pocket can vary hundreds to thousands of dollars at each dentist. >> reporter: using websites like fairhealth.org and his site brighter.com you can compare prices of participating dentists in your area. he found several highly rated dentists who would treat her for 2,000 in co-pays, a savings of 2500 bucks. >> exciting. >> reporter: next negotiate discounts. >> if you can help them by

paying cash for your services most dentists will be more than happy to give you an additional 5% to 10% off. >> reporter: in minutes that $4500 bill now just $1800. but if research and negotiating aren't your things -- >> there is another option i'd like you to look at but for that we have to go for a little drive. >> reporter: at the college of dentistry at the university of iowa. predoctoral students under the close supervision of some of the best dentists in the state offer top quality care up to 50% off the cost of traditional dental offices and after some initial costs for screening and prep work her out of pocket costs with insurance for those procedures, 1640 bucks saving her almost $3,000, something the family really can smile about. >> all right. lara, one of those secrets, do monday and friday morning appointments. those are off peak hours and you can usually get a discount.

welcome back to "gma," though. time now for our "heat index" and this morning's hot button, the arizona mom who says she was shamed by a flight attendant for breast punching in flight. she's now demanding change. abc's kayna whitworth has the story. >> reporter: it's the in-flight video that's gone viral. a mom fighting back as an airline attendant tells her she can't use a breast pump in the plane's bathroom. >> i just needed to pump for 15 minutes. >> i got it. you needed to have told us that you were doing that. >> now this phoenix mom is speaking out saying she's embarrassed and angry after that flight attendant shamed her for breast punching. >> she diminished me. >> reporter: mariana hannaman says she was on an american airlines flight home from chicago last month and just a few hours away from seeing her 4-month-old daughter. despite punching before boarding midflight. >> if i don't pump regularly, my breast milk supply goes down. >> reporter: doctors say not

to pump as often as every two hours. >> that sensation of the breast being full and needing to drain or empty her breast, that needs to occur almost immediately, otherwise it can be incredibly painful and in a most severe situation it could potentially trigger mastitis or a perez infection. >> reporter: she hannaman headed to the bathroom saying she warned the passengers behind her she needed a few minutes. >> a flight attendant comes and knocks on the door and she's like are you okay. yes, i breast-feed so i'm punching. >> reporter: the new mom says the flight attendant returned shortly after and told her to open the door. >> i had the pump connected to me. >> reporter: exposed hannaman says the flight attendant told her she couldn't pump in there so she collected herself and confronted the attendant recording it on her ipad. >> i just needed to pump -- >> i got it. i got it. you needed to have told us that you were doing that. >> reporter: american airlines

telling abc news they issued hannaman an apology stating their policy allows women to breast-feed or express milk in any of their facilities that includes your seat or in the lavatory. so american airlines adds that while it's not required, giving the flight attendant a heads-up you need to pump is helpful. hannaman says she thinks the flight attendant should be retrained, ron, she's not looking for anyone to get fired over this. >> good suggestions there and letting them be aware as they said, you don't have to but it's a good policy. >> just because you're in the bathroom for 15 minutes so people know what you're doing in there. >> i don't disagree with that. >> kayna, thank you. george. >> next up on "heat index." all of us parents grapple with the kwe question with kids and screen time. new recommendations out and dr. besser is back with that. it's the first new recommendation since the ipad came out. >> there is a recognition we live in a digital world and they want to give parents some guidance on how to navigate that in a way that will be beneficial

to our kids. >> basically what are the tips? if be a parent so set limbs like you would for anything that children do. model behavior. you want to see. limit your own behavior if you want to do that for your kids and be enedge gaed so select apps your kids can use, not just swiping but interacting and find games you can do together on there. it's okay for teens to be online. that's where they're establishing a lot of their identity but you want to help them navigate appropriate behavior, make mistakes you can help them figure out what to do. and create tech-free zones. free play time is it essential of the face-to-face time and talked about that and what kids are learning there is critical an establishing a place in your home where it's no devices so that even adults and kids can talk to each other. >> especially the dinner table. on the teens i sometimes stress out by seeing how much they're on that with their friend. >> those social interactions are how kids are engaging. you want to monitor it and teach them appropriate ways to interact there. but those relationships they're figuring out their identity,

very, very important. >> rich besser, thanks very much. >> all right, george. in the "heat index" we all or we've been talking about, we all know about performance reviews at work, at work. how about your marriage? >> hmm. >> many experts are suggesting them for couples, we first saw it in "the wall street journal" and juju chang has the details. >> reporter: it's often an uncomfortable moment of truth at work. >> what would you say you do here? >> reporter: annual performance reviews just like in the classic comedy "office space." >> i have people skills. i am good at dealing with people. can't you understand that? >> reporter: but could performance reviews be good for your marriage? yep. you heard right. a review from your spouse. >> performance reviews are a growing trend in many marriages today and i think cups are realizing how important it is to be proactive in checking. >> reporter: these regular check-ins are something jocelyn and her husband michael have been doing for the past ten

years. >> when i was pregnant with our third child, it became clear that we were about to become outnumbered by children. it was on the tipping point of having a little too much on our plate so i wanted to come up with a method for us to, you know, stay on top of what was happening. >> reporter: together they decided to have weekly conversations about their relationship. >> we have a lot of moving parts, and those moving parts will get away from you unless you communicate about them. >> reporter: while there's no need for an exact schedule it's helpful to chick in on a regular basis to avoid misunderstandings and just like at work experts say don't be too critical. >> you want to talk about what's working, not just what's not working and mindful of how you phrase things. you don't want to attack someone's character and say you're so lazy. the kitchen is always a mess. the home is always a mess because that's going to shut down communication. >> reporter: but they admit these conversations aren't always easy. >> i needed a little guidance.

a basically took jocelyn's lead. i have a great life. that's the result. >> every year our marriage gets better and better because we do communicate this way. >> reporter: for "good morning america," juju chang, abc news, new york. >> okay. >> please, can we talk about this? please. >> we asked all of you would you give your marriage a performance review, 28% said yes. 72% said no. we're now joined by demitria lucas d'oyley and i'll confess, i get regular performance reviews. >> hourly. >> how often do you think cups should do this. >> i definitely think a week. it feels more like a chore than something positive for the relationship, i would say every four to six weeks is probably better. makes it feel like something regular, a check-in. good communication. >> but does this just happen naturally. >> should it be so planned and calculated. >> a lot of couples ideally they would communicate on a regular basis, a lot of couples don't, it leads to a lot of conflict so you're making sure you are having the communication you need.

review we're all -- ears up but what if your significant other is not as free as we are about wanting to discuss things? >> so i would definitely say don't call it a performance review. you want to check in. you want to have a conversation, the relationship is good. you want to maintain that level. you keep it positive to get them on board. >> so if you're in a relationship you don't do anything like this, what tips do you have for folks who want to start communicating better? >> so i would definitely say present it to your partner as something positive when you open up the conversation. keep it positive, hey, we're doing good. i want to get to great. i love the way things are let's keep them on a good pace. >> how do you talk about things that you don't feel are good, though? >> so, when you bring those things up you make sure there's a conflict you make sure you're offering a solution and resolution. anything you bring up you should have an idea how to fix it. >> was thinking we might blank. >> some important questions you should ask when you're going through this review process? >> so, the biggest things that couples argue about are money

and sex. or kids. you ask the questions you want to know. how is our sex life? how are we doing financially? are we building the family the way we want to. >> i was thinking if you have to ask -- >> if you have to ask. >> but i love how you said to say we're good. let's get to great. >> yeah. >> i like that. >> i like that too. >> we're good. let's get to great. positive. you're going to get it when you get home. tex on our "heat index" that medical mystery, the 12-year-old girl who can't stop sneezing. she sneezes about, are you ready for this, 12,000 times per dare. gio benitez has her story for us. >> reporter: for 12-year-old katelyn thornley, this sound has become painfully familiar. three weeks ago katelyn began sneezing and can't stop. >> i was walking out of a clarinet lesson and all of a sudden it kind of started in little spurts.

here and there but by the time i went to bed i had sneezed 30 times that night. >> reporter: katelyn now averaging 20 sneezes per minute. >> i can control it sometimes but it's really painful. >> reporter: so far doctors at texas children's hospital in houston haven't been able to figure out exactly what is sneezing. referring to the condition as a tic. >> she has kind of a funny feeling she describes in her nose and that piece of her history is very common for tics. >> reporter: it's not the first time doctors have seen bizarre cases like this. some believe tics may be triggered in the brain by something stressing the child out, 10% of all kids are affected by tics. >> she can't go to school and can't really do anything normal. can't eat well. she's -- has to sip. she can't drink.

>> she has an episode where it was 45 straight minutes. she was screaming in pain. a couple of times. so, and all i can do is just, you know, hold her tight and wait for her to go to sleep. >> reporter: and katelyn, she just wants to get back to seventh grade. >> this has taken a huge toll on my life. i want nothing more than for this to end. good. >> so hard for her to do that interview and tells us she can't go to school. the sneading is just too distracting. she can't be on the swim team. she can't play her clarinet and just think about this, she can't even sleep. the sneezes just wake her up. about it. if we're hoping they find a solution. >> yeah. >> i can k can see how it's affecting ginger. what a beautiful crowd.

[ laughter ] >> the expression says it all. it is always a pleasure. >> thank you. always wonderful to see you. >> the 20th season. i remember you have said when you come here it's not like work for you. it's like play. >> "a," it's not like work and "b," it's a blink. 0 years went by in a blink when you're having a good time and, you know, you enjoy your work. >> uh-huh. >> that's the greatest gift you can have enjoying your work so when you go to work it's not like work. >> it builds confidence. you know, success i've heard you say builds confidence because you're doing what you enjoy doing and you were a judge, a

real judge in a courtroom and this happens. career. i started out my career as a prosecutor in family court and i think we've discussed before. >> right. >> and then my dream was to be a judge in the family court and i realized that dream with a lot of help and i was in that courtroom for 25 years and it's a difficult court to sit in. there is very rarely happiness. occasionally on an adoption day if you have dogs when you're making a family that's wonderful and that gives you a high but most of the time everybody is unhappy when they come to family court. >> true. >> so when i was given this opportunity 20 years ago to come and play, i said, you know, nothing is successful really on tv, especially somebody who is then 52 years old. >> that's how old you were at the time. >> at the time. nobody knew who i was so i said,

please, let me last two years, let me last maybe three years. and i remember doing an interview with morley safer when he revisited the first "60 minutes" piece about ten years later or nine years later and he said how long do you want to do it. i said, gee, if i could get a ten-year run, that would be so fabulous. >> but you were able to reinvent yourself but staying true to who you are and that's not always easy to do. >> i think it was probably erma bombeck who said you're not supposed to leave what you left on the table. if people have a wonderful singing voice they want to be dancers or if they're 5'2" they want to be basketball players. they don't stay with their strength. i know what my limitations are. >> what are your limitations? i don't see any. >> oh, i have a lot of

limitations. for instances, i couldn't do what you do convincingly because you're a good interviewer. you actually look as if you're not only interested in the question you've asked but the response from -- >> listening to a person. >> from your guest. i'm not so interested. >> let's play another clip because this one has gone viral recently and it was from a few years ago. this gives you an indication. go ahead. >> i had to replace all my deeds. i had gift cards this there. my earpiece and a calculator. >> there was no earpiece in her mouth. >> dumb and dumber. >> for the plaintiff in the amount of $500. that's what i think it's worth, madam go have you always been such a straight shooter. you just tell it like it is, always? >> it's easy. if you live by the rule, if you tell the truth, you don't have to have a good memory.

more easy and negotiable if you are telling one story to one person, another to another person eventually you're going to get both feet in your mouth embarrassed. >> amen but this is what i love about you, many things, you tell us to take responsibility for ourselves and to fess up when we mess up and weather going to mess up sometimes. >> well, i think that if people took responsibility, jerry and i were driving from the other side of town for the interview this morning and jerry said to me, this streets in new york are filthy. it's just another level of taking responsibility. it's irresponsible to take a magnificent city like this and trash it. i don't mind calling you out. i don't think there's any excuse for that i don't think there's any excuse for bad behavior. i don't think there's any excuse for abusing a child or for stealing somebody's property. there just is no excuse.

reason is not an excuse and i think that this city and this country have flipped those two words. there may be a reason that somebody acts irresponsibly, whether it's nurturing, nature, whatever it is, but it's never an excuse because human beings have a choice. either you pick up that piece of paper and throw it away in a trash can or you toss it on the floor and you dirty somebody else's house. that's responsible. >> that's a choice. judge judy has spoken. the gavel has gone down. season -- thank you so much and thanks for having jerry here too. season 20 of "judge judy" is on now. check your local listings. let's get to michael? thanks, babe. all right, thank you, robin. it is open mike time. creating quite a stir pun intended with her painting all the way from cypress we're

we were like we want to change the game and do something special and i think we did. >> and from day one you're driving up to campus in your car, it's totally overpacked, don't know where you're going and hear four freshmen screaming your name and there they were. your brothers. >> absolutely with the component inter interspeaker in the back with the seat laid down. >> of course. >> >> yeah. >> definitely. is looking out the window like why are you late. second, i was lost. i had to go to a pay phone and call an assistant coach to find my way on campus. >> no cell phones then. i remember well. >> right after that it took us maybe an hour before you knew it. we were behind the dorm actually playing outdoors. >> yeah, and then first day of practice, i love it. you say to the upperclassmen we're not going to mix it up. let's do freshmen do all the upperclassmen and beat them five games in a row and had to create

>> it does create animosity because normally you're a freshman and you're supposed to shut up and wait your turn but it was our opportunity to make a statement. the team prior, the prior year they didn't make the ncaa tournament so we were like, we can beat these guys and we want to be the starting five and that was the springboard. >> yeah and making a statement is something that you're comfortable doing. you are known for your trash talking and you're very clear bit. it's just part of the game. >> it actually is but you got to be ready for what the other guy may do. and you got to also produce like growing up in detroit trash talking works both ways. >> yeah. >> because the guy that's not going to go on to be an nba basketball player might go to the back of the truck of his car and have something to say about what you were talking about on the court so you got to be careful. >> let me ask why did you decide now, jalen, to write the book. >> because i'm at a different point in my life and the basketball era, being an all-american in high school, being a member of the fab five,

the full-fledged entertainment business. i'm the next michael strahan. >> yes, you are. you're the man, jalen. >> ah. >> oh. >> i love you. >> ki dunk on you. >> yes. >> alley-oop. >> oh. >> everybody, the name of the book is "got to give the people what they want." >> he does. >> and he does. >> thank you. >> love, love having you here. we're going to do some -- >> that's right. be jealous. >> is in book stores right now and coming up, if that's not good enough, cate blanchett is here -- >> wow. >> don't go anywhere.

course, the film captures her in absolute free fall. every journalist's worst nightmare. >> the way it captures the cascading series of revelation, mistake, surprises and you see her come in for so much hate. >> a lot of hate. i mean i think there's -- even though it feels like recent history 2004 i think and you would know this better than i, the media landscape, the political landscape has changed entirely. you know, it was at the beginning of that whole kind of hateful blogosphere personal -- >> even blogs sounded dated. >> i am dated. you know, i don't really exist in the social media world but i think the whole notion of googles one self and finding that invisible opinion yachting -- as an investigative journalist, i would imagine it would have been quite galling. >> such a difficult story. it was dropped right in the middle of a presidential campaign which leads to my only film scene with cate blanchett. we do have a scene. >> i'm not looking at you. i'm not looking at the screen. >> you're yelling at me.

you were green screen when i did it on the day but i could hear your voice and feel the charisma. >> you could feel the anger coming out from your character at what i was saying on television. it is a terrific movie. you also since the last time you were here a little addition to girl. >> we've been blessed so i have three boys and a girl. she's great but it's a wonderful thing when you see your, you know, your children becoming a pack sort of independent of you and i'm very proud of them. >> i bet you chose boys watch out for her. >> oh, yeah. >> steve jobs is coming out -- aaron sorkin coming out with a new movie about steve jobs and you're talking to him about maybe doing lucille ball. >> yes, it's early days. lucille is one of my all-time great heroes, phyllis diller, you name it and it's early days but aaron sorkin and i are talking about, yeah, we don't know what form it will be in but there's a lot of material there. she was an extraordinary woman. >> she was. >> like mary mapes is an extraordinary woman.
