. . good morning, america. hillary clinton breaks her silence. speaking for the first time since her loss to donald trump.s >> this isn't the easiest thing against a transition in sur mile. now henry kissinger heading to trump tower and kellyanne conway here live with the inside story. breaking overnight, a deadly gas explosion. a blast going off in the middle of a town square. destroying buildings, shattering glass, killing at least one person. 11 rushed to the hospital. >> just a big boom. >> now, investigators are on the scene. >> abc news exclusive, former

gretchen carlson speaking out about sexual harassment. the unwanted advances she said she's experienced throughout her career. >> i remember thinking to myself this is happening again? >> leading to the blockbuster allegations that helped cost roger ailes his job. why she's coming forward and telling her story now only on "gma." a hero brother's split-second decision. the 9-year-old rushing in to save his baby brother from this terrifying fall. >> i just ran and i caught him but i can't even c >> the scary close call and what his mother is saying about that moment and her warning for all parents. ? ? >> and, good morning, america, happy thursday to everyone. mike, i think we have a kid who has a future in pro football. fast. >> that kid deserves a christmas present of all christmas presents and any time his

the videotape. >> you're right about that. >> this morning all eyes on trump tower. seen all kinds of vips heading in. no one knows what's going on behind those closed doors. donald trump keeping his own counsel. but take a look at this. boxer floyd meriwether with donald trump jr. and president-elect and we'll hear from kellyanne conway, trump's senior adviser in a little bit. >> but first hillary clinton giving her first conceding to donald trump opening up about that defeat. her disappointment and determination to move forward. abc's david wright is here with details. good morning, david. good morning, robin. hillary clinton has often said when she gets knocked down, she gets right back up. well, here she was one week after this stunning upset addressing an event for the children's defense fund downhearted but unbroken. >> i will admit coming here tonight wasn't the easiest thing

after conceding that long bitter race. >> there have been a few times this past week when all i wanted to do is just to curl up with a good book or our dogs and never leave the house again. >> reporter: clinton lost the election but won the popular vote, more than a million votes ahead of donald trump. >> i know many of you are deeply disappointed about the results of the election. i am too. more than i can ever express. >> reporter: by the time all the votes d well have earned more raw votes than all but one of the men ever elected president, the exception, barack obama, clinton urged her supporters not to be discouraged. >> stay engaged on every level. we need you. america needs you, your energy, your ambition, your talent. that's how we get through this. >> reporter: her primary opponent, bernie sanders is doing just that. speaking last night at a separate event, he called

racist. >> i call upon mr. trump to rescind the appointment that he made of mr. bannon, a president of the united states should not have a racist at his side, unacceptable. >> reporter: for her part clinton steered clear of any direct attacks, instead, she spoke from the heart. >> i know that over the past week a lot of people have asked themselves whether america is the country we but, please listen to me when i say this, america is worth it. >> now clinton did not say what her own plans are moving forward and had accepted this invitation to speak at the children's defense fund long before election day. probably hoping it would be a different sort of speech, george. >> that is an understatement. thanks very much. the latest on donald trump's transition. the president-elect focusing on national security meeting with henry kissinger and possible contenders for secretary of

martha raddatz is tracking that from washington. martha, let's begin with that report about his son-in-law, jared kushner report in "the wall street journal" he may come into the white house in ta forml position but may be legal questions. >> he's been extremely influential and could take a white house job with sources telling abc news he's currently looking at options but it would clearly be in some sort of senior adviser role and the trump team has asked that during the transition which makes complete sense because classified information could be discussed. now, there are federal nepotism rules for federal agency, but that may not apply to the white house. either way it would be very doubtful kushner would take a salary, george. >> also on this national security front there's talks about maybe having general michael flynn come in as national security adviser, the president-elect meeting with henry kissinger today, also nikki haley who is maybe coming

state, as well, the governor of south carolina. >> reporter: exactly, he is meeting with governor nikki haley who was critical of trump during the campaign, you'll remember. she is under consideration for secretary of state. it is a big day for national security. he's announcing transition landing teams for defense and the nfc which will liase with teams and teams and with henry kissinger also a sit-down with the head of the national security agency and foreign leader, prime minister shinzo abe of japan, recall that during the campaign trump said he thought allies should pay their fair share when u.s. forces are protecting them. so that could be a lively discussion, george. >> certainly will, martha raddatz, thanks very much. we have a lot to talk about with our political strategist and abc contributor kristen soltis anderson. she joins us now, good morning, kristen. good to see you this morning. >> good morning. >> kellyanne conway just showed

was that it kellyanne. we'll get to kellyanne in a moment. >> good morning. >> we'll talk to kristen first. let's go back to the remarks that hillary clinton made last night. what do you make of that and where does she go from here? >> well, she certainly is disheartened. if you've been preparing your entire life to be the president of the united states, when it's finally kind of taken away from you it's got to be absolutely heartbreaking. there's a lot of folks in her party that still have not come around to accepting the resul there's a lot of healing to be done. i think she can play a really big role in getting some of these folks to realize the election is over but there's productive work they can still do moving forward. >> we'll talk to kellyanne about the transition going on with president-elect trump. chris christie and those associated with him have been phased out. what kind of message does that send, do you think? >> you know, i think right now a lot of folks within the republican party are excited to have control of the white house,

critical of donald trump not necessarily big fans of his waiting for some signals about what the administration will mean. i think getting rid of lobbyists on the transition team and putting in place bans on having folks go and lobby after being in the administration is signal that he's going to do the draining of the watch but by bringing in someone like nikki haley would be a signal to those skeptical of him there's still room for them in a trump administration too. >> it would appear that way. >> kellyanne conway here right now. we all feel your getting around manhattan these days. the secret service and donald trump but thank you for coming in. let's talk about the transition a little bit and reports this morning that jared kushner now considering taking a formal role in the white house. the ethics chiefs for both president george w. bush and president obama say that's illegal. >> i talked to jared kushner this morning again. he said he has not applied for any formal role nor a national security clearance but at the same time he will continue to be important to his father-in-law

jared was incredibly important to our campaign effort and to the election and he's a trusted adviser of his father-in-law. that won't change. all the adult children and in-laws. >> is he considering taking a formal job inside. >> he's not applied for that and he lives here and runs a pretty significant business here. there are three small children here so it's an important decision that many of us face, frankly, but he has not applied for anything formally. i think many of these press reports are false and inaccurate and i would just little bit of time to form our federal government. get those appointments in place and respect the election results and allow this man to do his job. >> it's clear the president-elect values him. does he want him to be in the white house? >> well, he wants him to be an adviser to him which he will continue to be. he's also his son-in-law so he's family and that's really what we should focus on. i know the bush sons were very involved in their father's administration, one became president of the united states. they both became governors, so

it's a very special relationship and very few have the ability to serve as president and, of course, their family members, particularly adult children will be supportive of that. >> will you join the white house? >> i may. i don't -- i didn't see mother of four small children in any of the job descriptions that i checked out. i'm sure your viewers can relate but it's been such a privilege and an honor to be donald trump's campaign manager and to work with my old friend and client mike pence our new vice president and i want to go and serve and best and highest use i'm not a priority today at 5:00 p.m., mr. trump and mr. pence will be meeting with prime minister abe from japan and we're being very respectful and deferential to the circumstance that president obama is still the president. these have to be less formal and already have a commander in chief and he's on his last foreign trip and would like to show the respect to prime minister abe but show the respect to president obama at the same time. >> talking about working with the president-elect.

senator bernie sanders all saying if donald trump focuses on infrastructure, paid maternity leave, reforming trade bills, they can build bipartisan coalitions. is that the direction he is going to move in. >> yes, we're thrilled to hear that. donald trump made very clear what his first 100-day plan will be. everybody can pull it up and see and it includes infrastructure and job creation and a different direction for health care for some americans and it certainly includes tryin immigration system and to get a little bit more robust in defeating radical islamic terrorism around the world. i'm happy to hear that from the senators and i think that spirit of cooperation where divided government has been an excuse for too long, i think that was reflected in what vice president biden said yesterday to vice president-elect pence which is we had a great productive conversation. the vice president said, quote, i'm confident that the government is in good hands with trump and pence and then he said

you have to give it time. we don't really want to rush through these decisions. it takes some time to get it right. >> kellyanne conway, thanks very much. >> thanks for having me. >> thank you. now, let's turn to ginger. may not feel like winter in new york but it's coming. i'm looking at that picture and i think you're giving us a hint. >> a slight hint of what's to come. it is not just a flake of snow but 10 inches for snoqualmie, washington. this video out of salt lake city, utah, their first measurable snow of the season and, yes, if you're wondering that is a tad late. this is a whole reg not yet seen their actual first freeze so it's all coming at once. those winter weather advisories. a blizzard warning for parts of south dakota and minnesota. that means not only do you get the snow but you get wind gusts of 40 to even 50 miles per hour advising no travel in that region. most of that will fall north and west of minneapolis but we'll watch this and a 50 to 60-degree temperature drop. let's head back over to you. isn't that exciting, guys. we'll do it real fast. like, bam, bam.

new charges in that deadly police shooting in minnesota that sparked nationwide protests. philando castile shot by an officer, his girlfriend live streaming the encounter on facebook. now that officer is being charged with manslaughter. abc's steve osunsami has more. >> told him not to reach for it. i told him to get his hand open. >> reporter: this is the voice of officer jeronimo yanez broadcast live on facebook and this is the gun police say he shouldn't have fired killing of st. paul, minnesota. >> you shot four bullets into sim, sir. he was just getting his license and registration. >> reporter: this morning he's charged with second degree manslaughter and two felony firearm charges for endangering the safety of both diamond reynolds who recorded the video and her 4-year-old daughter in the backseat. >> no reasonable officer would have used deadly force under these circumstances.

owned gun in his pocket. authorities now say the officer started firing before castile even had a chance to remove the gun. >> i feel as though that murder to the highest extent of the law is what would be appropriate here. at the end of the day none of is that going to bring my boyfriend back. >> reporter: the officer tells them he's pulling them over for a broken taillight but take a look. pictures show the taillights were working. over share another reason. >> the two occupants just look like a -- people that were involved in a robbery. >> reporter: and you hear what even minnesota's governor says is racism. >> the driver looks more like one of our suspects just because of the wide-set nose. >> reporter: police say the officer was turn himself in. prosecutors say the castile and his girlfriend had nothing to do with that robbery. the officer will appear in court

plead not guilty. robin. >> a lot of people watching. all right, steve. to amy for the morning's other top stories starting with that major gas explosion. >> yeah, that's right. the story was breaking overnight, a deadly explosion in downtown canton, illinois. a utility worker was killed and 11 people injured as crews were repairing a natural gas leak. a contractor apparently damaged the line and surveillance video from a nearby store shows look at that the power of that explosion. the area was evacuated as police checked for structural a gas leak is also suspected of causing the explosion that leveled this home. look at that in central indiana. the house blown off its foundation, one person was killed. and overseas the dramatic scene as a young girl was rescued from the rubble of an air strike in aleppo, syria that destroyed the only children's hospital in that city. dozens of people have been killed in the latest wave of bombings. and there is new concern about air quality as the drought fuels wildfires in seven southern states.

when the white house press secretary josh earnest broke the news to him. >> it's the highest civilian honor that any president can give and president obama has given it out every year he's been in office and gives it to just a handful of people and this year he's going to give it to you. >> oh, my gosh. no. >> yes. so you've had -- >> are you sure? i mean, i'm just an old baseball announcer. >> ah. >> well, obviously vin scully is more than that. >> are on the list this year. robert de niro, tom hanks, ellen degeneres and also another one, nba legend michael jordan is also on the list. the awards presented at the white house next week. >> what an honor. >> bruce springsteen in there too. >> diana ross, kareem abdul-jabbar. keepsing gun. >> back to ginger. what do you got? >> amy mentioned the code red. to give you another value the air quality index was actually

happened to me again in los angeles with a very high-powered pr executive and again we were in a car and he took my head and my neck and he shoved my face into his crotch so forcefully that i couldn't breathe. and i remember thinking to myself, this is happening again? >> did you blame yourself? >> well, i think to a certain part, yeah, you think, i must have done something. when situations like that happen to women, you fear that it's not going to be believed. you're going to lose your job. >> reporter: carlson hoping her story will make it easier for others to come forward too. >> i don't think we should judge women if they have waited because look at how we react to women when they finally do come forward. they're accused of making it up. we have to make it a safer environment so that it's no longer he said/she said but

don't you wish that, mike journal. >> time for our big board breaking down the top stories and larry hackett is here. we'll get to your story in a moment. you can work on your hair. that's what you were doing during the commercial. >> that deadly new jersey train crash. officials now say the engineer driving the train suffered from undiagnosed sleep apnea. dr. richard besser is going to join us now to weigh in on this and the engineer, rich, told investigators that he has no me so just explain to people about sleep apnea and how do you know you have it? >> yeah, so when we're sleeping at night we all take brief pauses when we're not breathing. that's normal. with sleep apnea, those pauses occur more frequently and last longer. sometimes as long as more than a minute and with obstructive sleep apnea the problem is the tissues in the back of our neck, those muscles that are supposed to keep airways open don't do their job so chest could be moving but there's no airflowing. they think that millions of

symptoms. here's what to look for. what you may have at night, snoring and snorting as you try to get air in. you could be restless, moving all over the bed as you're trying to open up that airway. during the day you're going to have problem with poor concentration and sleepness and may fall asleep doing regular activities because you didn't get a good night's sleep. >> we could see it's very dangerous but a lot want to know how do you treat it. >> yeah, so it is really dangerous. most people aren't d some are working heavy machinery and if you're falling asleep doing that it can be very dangerous. when you have apnea you're not getting oxygen in there and can set you up for heart attacks and strokes. most people who snore don't have this, if you snore and are sleepy they'll do a sleep study where they monitor you at night to see how the air is moving and see how oxygen is getting in your blood. there is a machine they can use for you. it's something called cpap which

nose that can keep airways open and that can take care of this problem. >> my daddy had to use that. >> mine too. mine too. >> life saver. >> gets better sleep now. it is life changing. thank you, rich. now to a college football scandal. wake forest is investigating a possible security breach after the team's game plan was discovered in louisville stadium following their loss to the cardinals on saturday. espn's stephen a. smith joins us live. stephen, in your opinion how big >> oh, it can end up being a very, very big deal. college football, a college football playoff system. you see the top four teams in the nation being alabama, michigan, ohio state, clemson, louisville is on the outside looking in. they've got the imminent heisman trophy winner in lamar jackson. everybody knows he's going to win it and everybody wants to see them in that playoff system. if you find yourself associated with a cheating scandal, that's not something that college football committee is going to
