y2jqzy yi0y good morning, america. breaking news, wildfire emergency. more than a dozen deadly fires raging across california this morning. the flames scorching tens of thousands of acres forcing more than 20,000 people to flee. >> they were screaming, fire, fire, fire, get out. >> hundreds of homes and buildings destroyed. one town going from this to this. at least 11 people killed. hospitals racing to evacuate. >> now it's getting across the road, its all bad. >> as the fires ravage wine country, people returning home desperately searching for their amo belongings. oh, my god, my wedding ring. >> in one of the most damaging firestorms in california's

las vegas massacre. authorities now revealed the security guard who confronted the gunman was shot before the massacre, not after. could the mass killing have been stopped? the first lady fires back, melania trump blasting the president's first wife ivana after that bombshell interview with amy here on "gma." >> i'm basically first trump wife, okay. >> the reaction to melania's response now coming in this morning. and breaking their silence, the hollywood a-listers finally taking on harvey weinstein. meryl streep and george clooney backing away from the media mogul and the new outrage overnight over what designer donna karan said coming to weinstein's defense. good morning, america. we want to get right to those devastating and deadly fires out west.

the worst wildfire disasters in the history of california. >> look at that. that's a live look at anaheim. the flames growing, that fire one of more than 15 burning across the state this morning. >> take a look at this neighborhood, what it looked like before the blaze and, unfortunately, what it looked like after. >> here's what we know. governor jerry brown declared states of emergency in at least eight county, more than a thousand homes and buildings have been destroyed and at least 11 people have been killed. and more than 20,000 forced to evacuate. >> we have team coverage across the region this morning. our senior national correspondent matt gutman on the scene in santa rosa. good morning, matt. >> reporter: good morning, george. and the scene here is apocalyptic. what separates this fire from so many we've seen it swept right through the heart of towns like santa rosa, a population of 175,000 people, those armies of firefighters unable to stop the

scramble out of here so quickly they could only take the clothes on their back. that's one reason why there are 150 people reported missing this morning. >> holy cow. >> reporter: overnight more than 20,000 residents and tourists forced to evacuate as towering walls of flame ravaged sonoma and napa counties. this was a hilton hotel complex. you can feel the intensity of the heat coming off it. firefighters are so strapped they're not worried about the flames inside but what they are concerned about are those embers flying out of it. thousands of firefighters called in from as far away as san diego to battle the fast-spreading blazes. >> oh, my god. >> reporter: those flames have already consumed more than 75,000 acres in this tourist mecca of northern california. >> looked like something out of some armageddon movie. >> reporter: at least 1500 homes and businesses destroyed so far. >> this is insane. >> this is my neighborhood. in flames.

completely in flames. >> reporter: the highway patrol forced to use helicopters to airlift some residents to safety as the flames close in. nearly 100,000 people without power. more than a dozen unstoppable forest fires now spanning eight counties. while fleeing for safety tyler clarke captured this daunting scene of his neighborhood in flames. at what point did you realize you needed to get out? >> pretty much as i was driving through and passing the other cars and started to get real hot inside my vehicle as well. >> literally it's burning into the city of santa rosa and burning department stores, you know, burning box stores, impacting hospitals. >> reporter: one of those hospitals, kaiser permanente which evacuated about 130 patients. you can see staff clutching rattling ivs as they rushed patients out on gurneys. >> it's so sad.

>> reporter: in santa rosa it was block after smoldering block. cars bent into gray husks, the homes burned to their foundations. it was there we saw ryan white who managed to salvage the only thing not charred in his house. that mailbox. other survivors hopeless. we heard chris pond before we saw her. >> oh, my god. >> reporter: she lived here for decades and was disconsolate, nearly hysterical with grief. >> oh, my god, my wedding ring. >> reporter: her most beloved possession was somewhere beneath that smoldering heat. we spent over an hour sifting through the ember, her shoes melted. our hands burped but -- >> how can this happen? >> reporter: now fire burning so hot and so fast an explosion flipped this car. everywhere you look here you see melted aluminum. now, i want to give you a sense of what happened to this community. this goes

smoldering block. now, this firestorm happened so fast and so quickly, it nearly exploded the houses. it's difficult to tell where one foundation begins and another ends and a very grim tank ahead for rescuers here. they're going to have to me tickously go through those 150 missing persons reports and that's going to take them a week. we also understand that the death toll here is going to rise, guys. >> those images are unbelievable and as you said the death toll is going to continue to rise. abc's linzie janis is also there in santa rosa with more on these fast-moving fires and how crews are battling them. linzie. >> reporter: good morning, robin. you can see the flames burning behind me. this was the hilton sonoma wine country hotel. you can see this part of it completely destroyed. the entire establishment burnt to the ground. firefighters have been working through the night to battle these blazes, 17 in total that have already ripped through more than 100,000 acres in just 24

hours. the flames whipped up by diablo winds. hot, dry winds with gusts up to 70 miles per hour. it took just hours for entire neighborhoods to be consumed. during that time as matt mentioned, firefighters had to just evacuate people. they couldn't start to battle these blazes until the winds died down. that's what they're doing now. there is a curfew in place here. they don't want people on the road. they have a big battle ahead of them. robin. >> they certainly do. all right. the fires left so much destruction across wine country damaging or destroying multiple wineries and abc's nick watt is in napa right now. good morning, nick. >> reporter: good morning, michael. well, this morning a cloud of smoke hanging over some of the most renowned winelands in the world. this industry in california employs 300,000 people, $50 billion a year. it's a big deal and harvest is under way. in fact, helicopters had to airlift some workers who were in some remote wineries up on the ridge when that fire came

through. 25,000 acres burned including this, what is left of the significaorello winery, broken underfoot. gas lines still burning. this was the tasting room, italian pillars. it is no more. but the wines, they're green. they're alive. not too many of them burned so there is some hope. michael. >> all right. thank you, nick. >> thanks, michael. we'll talk to sergeant spencer crum from sonoma county. it's so hard to wrap our heads around all the devastation you're in the middle of. how are your teams holding up, and do you think you have a handle on the fires now? >> our deputies are holding up remarkably well. we have a lot of assistance from other agencies, and we pulled in a lot of our bailiffs and detectives and all types of resources to help us out. as far as the fire goes, that's up to the fire department.

far as the evacuations go and we're trying to determine the winds and the direction. it seems to be the wind has died down quite a bit. the night before this, it was just -- it was 60-mile-an-hour winds which is the reason why you have such devastation here. >> yeah, and it all exploded so quickly. any way to prepare for something like that? >> really isn't. you know, we have a subscription service where we can alert our residents and we did that right away trying to notify everybody where the fire was, where it was going and how fast it was going and i think it saved a lot of lives. >> what can you tell us about the search for the missing right now? >> we're just getting started. we're in day one. we've taken up to 150 missing persons reports and we are going to start going through those and trying to figure out how we can reunite people with their missing loved ones. >> what else do you need? we know the governor declared a state of emergency.

>> say that again. >> what else do you need right now? we know the governor has declared a state of emergency. >> right now we're doing actually pretty well. we have about 5,000 people in shelters. we've opened up 24 shelters. as of 11:00 p.m. last night we had a cot for every person. we have meals. we have water and we're actually doing pretty well. we have a lot of rebuilding here, a lot of electricity and pg&e needs to get the lights back on, but overall we're doing okay for a community. >> well, that's a little small piece of good news. sergeant, thanks. we're thinking of you today. good luck with the rest of the recovery effort. robin. >> all right, george. the wildfires are also spreading across southern california. a thousand firefighters are there battling the flames from the ground and sky. people and wildlife are fleeing and abc's marci gonzalez is in anaheim where the flames are moving right now. good morning, marci. >> reporter: good morning, robin. helicopters have been overhead all morning dropping water,

spreading. but as you can see this fire is still on the move threatening more homes. overnight this fast-moving southern california fire exploding in size. >> i didn't think it was going to come upon us as fast as it did. >> reporter: 6,000 acres in anaheim and nearby neighborhoods scorched. the massive flames engulfing homes, snapping power lines, forcing mandatory evacuations for thousands. >> when it got to a point where the flames were pretty tall, they were 50, 40, 50, 60 feet then we could feel the heat. that's when we decided to leave. >> reporter: the california adventure park at disneyland set against a backdrop of blazing orange. firefighters battling the wildfire into the night from the ground and in the skies but doing little to stop its rapid spread. flames and smoke closing in on the nearby freeway. >> been here 25 years. it was a great neighborhood. it's going to be a lot of work getting it back. it's mother nature at her

i guess. >> reporter: already at least two dozen homes and other structures here are destroyed and this morning, this fire is only 5% contained. guys, back to you. >> oh, boy. and for the latest on the path of these wildfires let's go to ginger zee. good morning, ginger. >> good morning, michael. you know, more than a dozen wildfires across the state but it's southern california just where marci was where we're most concerned. still gusty winds. red flag warnings smothering that part of the state. up to 35-mile-per-hour gusts in those warnings. those will get better as we go through the morning hours. those offshore wins are what caused this. up north it was the diablo winds, down south it was the santa anas. this morning we're still seeing 10 to 20-mile-per-hour gusts which is so far significantly less than yesterday but what's not going to change the humidity. it's going to stay in that extremely low and dangerous category, 7% as we go to the 1:00 p.m. hour. 8% in bakersfield. this is not over. it'll get

go into tomorrow. >> okay. we'll follow the latest on the devastating wildfires all morning long but now we're going to turn to new developments in the las vegas shooting sparking new questions about the police response. investigators now say the gunman shot a hotel security guard six minutes before he opened fire on innocent concertgoers, not after. our senior justice correspondent pierre thomas is in washington with more on this. good morning, pierre. >> reporter: robin, good morning. as you said there's been a significant change to the time line which potentially has a major impact on how the massacre unfolded. this morning it turns out that mandalay bay security guard jesus campos was actually stephen paddock's first victim, shot and wounded a full six minutes before the killer start started raining gunfire on the crowd. >> mr. campos was encountered by the suspect prior to the

touted him as a hero and alerted police. wounded, narrowly escaping after being fired upon with 200 rounds. >> i can tell you there's not a doubt in my mind he stopped that suspect from continuing to fire. >> reporter: now that understanding and time line changed. how quickly did the guard fwhoet phi hotel security and was there an opportunity for armed security personnel or police to confront paddock before he started shooting? >> actually creates more of a mystery as to why he stopped after 11 minutes, but it also creates this picture of why didn't someone get to him in that window before he actually started shooting? >> reporter: this as investigators a week later struggle to find a motive and any evidence that paddock had accomplices. >> we have uncovered over 200 instances of the suspect traveling throughout las vegas and he has never been seen with anyone else.

investigators suspect that severe mental illness may have been a primary catalyst for the shooting spree. with so little to go on the focus on the suspect's mental health intensifies. authorities want to know every drug the killer may have been taking and there may even be an autopsy to examine his brain. robin. >> fbi behavioral scientists are now getting involved, pierre? >> reporter: robin, the team of behavioral scientists are examining witness interviews try to figure out what happened to this pan's mental state that may have contributed to the killing. to the white house now where president trump is set to meet with his secretaries of state and defense amid growing tension with north korea and new fallout from that feud with the republican chair of the senate foreign relations committee who said that the president's erratic behavior could set off world war iii. jon karl joins us with the latest. the shock waves from the president's fight with bob corker are echoing across the capitol. >> reporter: and the astounding thing not a single republican senator has stepped forward to condemn what

defend the president. what you are seeing here is that relations between the president and republicans in the senate is reaching a boiling point. by my count there are at least six republican senators that the president is in varying degrees of war with and his former chief strategist steve bannon is threatening to support primary challenges against virtually every republican up for re-election right now. this is -- corker was one senator saying that but reveals much more than just his opinion. >> it could complicate the president's effort to get tax reform through. meantime, it looks like any possible cooperation with democrats on an immigration bill to protect those undocumented immigrants who came here as children is going down the drain now with this new framework for immigration that the president came forward with on sunday night. >> reporter: the president's team came forward with that framework. it included a laundry list of things that democrats say they simply would never agree to ranging from the wall to hiring thousands and thousands

immigration agents and the president is out tweeting this morning, george, saying, look at this. the problem with agreeing to a policy on immigration is that democrats don't want secure borders, they don't care about safety for usa. does not sound like an agreement is in the works, but i've got to tell you a top official at the white house told me late last night the president still wants a deal, still believes he can get a deal with democrats to protect the d.r.e.a.m.ers. i just don't see how that's possible. >> could set up a government shutdown. the president will meet with his secretary of state and took a new shot at him in a brand-new interview. >> reporter: this was in response to the reports that tillerson, secretary tillerson had called the president a moron, take a look at what the president tells "forbes" in an interview. i think that's fake news but in he did that, i guess we'll have to compare i.q. tests and i can tell you who is going to win. >> jon, anyone the president is not fighting with this morning? >> reporter:

you know, i think some of the staff is still with him but it seems like war on many front, george. >> it sure does. jon karl, thanks very much. >> it's just tuesday. >> just early in the week. we got a long week to go. you know we'll go back to ginger with why the wildfires are spreading so quickly. >> that's the question. why, this is pretty normal. this setup high over the great basin sends offshore winds and gusts, 60 to 80 miles per hour yesterday and a tight what we call pressure gradient. air compress, sinks and dries out and you get fires.

- drier & warmer weekend - beautiful, autumn weather coming next week today: partly to mostly cloudy. unseasonably warm. still humid. highs: 82-86 winds: ne 5 mph tonight: mostly cloudy. patchy fog. isolated showers. day - c coming up hollywood hits back. meryl streep, george clooney, other hollywood stars hitting back at wooip weinstein and the outrage after designer donna karan came to his defense. and did you see this? well, major questions many are asking about the brand-new "star wars" trailer. it premiered overnight.

>> okay. >> you know you have yours. >> we'll talk more about that coming up. right now we want to talk about anaheim, california, and all that's happening in california. major wildfire tearing through just 1 of at least 15 in that state sparking a wildfire emergency. the deadly flames have killed at least 11 people, destroyed wine country in napa and sonoma, thousands of firefighters are battling flames this morning. first lady melania trump's team is now responding. amy, they heard your interview. >> apparently they did. >> from his first wife ivana and what the reaction from melania is just ahead. >> she was not too happy with what ivana said. >> when ivana said she is the first lady. >> jokingly said that, but, yes. >> that's ahead. a lot more on that coming up. if you inauguralout from the harvey weinstein bombshell facing a cascade of criticism from hollywood stars and the weinstein company is looking to change its name. we'll speak to one of the

first amy here with all the latest. >> that's right. this morning harvey weinstein's name reportedly being stripped as executive producer from upcoming movies and tv shows as some of hollywood's biggest stars break their silence about those allegations of sexual misconduct and at least one famous friend of weinstein's appears to be coming to his defense. >> thank you so much to the academy and harvey weinstein. >> harvey, thank you for killing whoever you had to kill to get me up here today. >> i would like to thank harvey weinstein. >> reporter: during award show season it often sounded like harvey weinstein was the svengali behind many of the leading top ladies. even meryl streep jokingly referred to him as god when she took home the golden globe in 2012 for "the iron lady." >> i just want to thank my agent, kevin huvane, and god, harvey weinstein. [ laughter and applause ] the punisher

guess. >> reporter: but this morning following weinstein's resignation from the company that beared his name streep speaking out about the series of alleged sexual harassment and abuse allegations that weinstein now faces. in a statement she calls the women who have spoken up heroes and claiming she had no idea about weinstein's alleged behavior, writing if everybody knew, i don't believe that all the investigative reporters in the entertain many and hard news media would have neglected for decades to write about it. other a-listers like judi dench, julianne moore and kate winslet publicly condemning the movie mogul monday. winslet calling his misconduct very, very wrong. >> i don't know how you come back from something like this. i really don't. >> reporter: but one longtime female friend of weinstein seeming to come to his defense. fashion designer donna karan speaking to a "daily mail" reporter on a red carpet appeared to question the accu accusers.

>> how women are dressing and what they're asking by just presenting themselves the way they do. what are they asking for? trouble. >> reporter: karan later said her comments were taken out of context. actress rose mcgowan who reportedly received a settlement posted overnight saying men in hollywood need to change. one very visible heartthrob coming out against weinstein, george clooney says he has known the movie mogul for 20 years telling "the daily beast" weinstein's actions were indefensible, disturbing on a whole lot of levels and this is las many on a very high level. >> harvey weinstein believes in us and made this movie. >> reporter: matt damon and ben affleck who rocked to fame following their oscar win for "good will hunting" have yet to comment. and this morning "the hollywood reporter" saying hours before he was fired he sent a plea of support to movie moguls and ceos. that e-mail, however, reportedly went unanswered. >> did not get a lot of response. we're joined by one of the reporters who broke the

megan twohey. here's the big question i have. 2004 "the new york times" looks at this doesn't run a story. last year "new york" magazine looks at this and doesn't run a story. what was different this time around. >> i think there's no question there is an unprecedented public conversation and concern about sexual harassment going on in this country going back a year to when presidential candidate donald trump was captured on that "access hollywood "tape. since then "the new york times" has done a variety of stories on -- of harassment charges against roger ailes and bill owe rile len and figures in silicon valley so while there have been rumors about harvey weinstein for years, i think that we recognized that this was a moment to really probe them, to, you know, to go into them and take a hard look. >> perhaps some women feel more confident their voice will be heard seeing some of those other in

settlements being reached by harvey weinstein and yet a code of silence within the weinstein company, is it clear who knew what when and how difficult was it for you to get people to talk on the record? >> right, and i would say that this was probably one of the hardest stories i have ever reported and i was working with an extremely talented partner, jodi kantor and we had the support up through the top of "the new york times" and it was still really hard. i mean, there was a code of silence, a lot of women were locked in confidentiality clauses and settlements so this was, you know, at the end of the day we were able to obtain some on the record interviews, but we also were able to obtain internal company memos and other things in which these allegations were, you know, were made, you know, stretching back decades. >> so why now? is the story over? >> no, i think that the story is going to continue for weeks to come

right now there have been allegations, you know, that we've been able to document going back decades and settlements, you know, at least we were able to specify five settlements that were paid to women who had stepped forward after making complaints of unwanted touching or sexual harassment. but there's still questions about who knew what when. not just within the company but within hollywood in general. >> we'll be watching. megan twohey, thanks very much. over to michael. >> thank you, george. coming up, the cubs fan who is suing the team and major league baseball after being hit with a foul ball causing him to go blind in one eye. where safety netting has helped.

introducing the all-new crosstrek. love is out there. find it in a subaru crosstrek. back now with the cubs battling more than just the washington nationals in the playoffs. a fan is suing the team after he was hit by a foul ball at wrigley field. abc's t.j. holmes is here with more on that. good morning, t.j. >> reporter: good morning to you, robin. a ball comes off the bat of a major league player at 90 to 100 plus miles per hour. when it goes foul and gets to the stands within a matter of feet and in a fraction of a second, this fan is suing because he says major league baseball is not protecting fans from this potentially deadly danger. one minute 60-year-old jay loos was enjoying an august night with family at wrigley field watching his beloved chicago cubs but everything changed with

>> hit hard. >> reporter: a foul ball hit loos in his left eye and ricocheted off his face. loos was rushed to a hospital with serious damage to his left eye. he has had multiple surgeries since the incident but has been told it's unlikely he'll regain vision in his injured eye. now he's suing the cubs and major league baseball claiming safety netting would have prevented the ball from reaching him. >> this is a problem major league baseball has known for decades. my life and the lives of many fans have been changed forever bay major league baseball's inability to protect fans. >> reporter: according to the lawsuit they failed to take steps to protect fans from the risk of serious injury or death posed by baseballs being hit into the stands. >> oh, my goodness. >> reporter: just three weeks ago a little girl was struck by a foul ball at yankees stadium. players from both teams were visibly shaken. >> i thought of my kids, you know. i think the netting should be up. i think every

have it. >> reporter: it renewed calls for them to extend netting. 1700 fans are injured at ballparks every year. now, ten clubs have already decided on their own to extend the netting. six are going to do it next season including the cubs but it's not required by the league and, stra, keep this in mind the nhl put up safety netting back in 2002. why? because a 13-year-old girl was hit by a flying puck. the question is do we have to wait until somebody is killed before something is done. >> all right. thank you, t.j. definitely is dangerous out there. we'll bring in dan abrams. and, dan, what are the chances this lawsuit will be successful? >> not very high. yeah, there's actually something called the baseball rule. meaning these things have been litigated at length. keep in mind as t.j. points out, you're dealing with 35 to 40 foul balls a game. hundreds of people being injured every season. so this has made its way through the court and w

law says genuinely you assume risks by going to the day. it says there on the back of the ticket you're assuming the risk and as long as they have basic netting in place, meaning, for example, behind home plate, typically the times are not held responsible. >> you mentioned the baseball rule but this guy didn't have a ticket. he went in with someone with the organization so is there an exception to the baseball rule? >> a good question. there have been deemed to be exceptions. there are some cases that have been allowed to go forward and typically involved children but in this case he's saying i didn't have a ticket. someone effectively sounds like it's saying snuck him into the game so he shouldn't be bound by what it says on the back of the ticket. still not an easy argument to win. but at least an argument. >> major league baseball, they've recommended teams extend the netting past the dugout. a lot were about visibility of the game. ten teams now six are going to do it next year. was that a factor in the lawsuit? >> they're going to cite it and say, look, the reason they're puttin

it is not. i'm one of those people, they're like, is it always like this? i'm like, yeah. it's always very organized. >> oh. what does that say about you? >> i got something for you, right gentleman. >> i think i'm the top one and the bottom one. >> i haven't even said it yet. >> sorry. >> "the daily e-mail talked to a psychologist who said there's four organizational personals when it comes to your home. let's see if this style, if i read them out fit you. make sure you clap in the audience. we'll start with the first one, the heartfelt hoarder is a person who can't get rid of anything. >> i'm totally going to say that's me. >> is that you? >> uh-huh. >> i can't believe how proud you are being a hoarder. >> you're a heartfelt hoarder. >> i'm kind of this in a little bit. probably a good friend and also more likely to be quiet and thoughtful. >> yeah, that's me. >> um. >> well, you guys get the outside part. en

thoughtful. >> all right. next up is the decorative decanter. these are the types of people who put m&ms in a fancy dish. >> no. >> any of you? any of you? >> got a few back here. >> there are a few. so fewer than the hoarders. >> but you know what that means you're ambitious and will work hard to get whatever you want. >> good for you? well done. >> check in your column. >> the mindful maximalist. their homes are full of photos and trinkets. >> i have photos and trinkets too. >> you might -- you said the top and bottom. you might be all four. >> okay. >> that means you're outgoing, confident with a work hard play hard life balance. >> that might be -- yeah, is that you? >> yeah. >> you don't have to be disappointed about that. no. >> i notice george has yet to even respond to anything. >> i turn over everything in the house. you do not have wha

she's a tinkerer. >> what's that. >> she is just changing stuff all the time. is that an opportunistic organizers. >> this study only did four types and the fourth and final type is the opportunistic organizers. >> i think that's what she would fall under. >> somebody who goes to a friend's house and organizes when they visit? >> no. [ laughter ] >> i don't think that's me. >> suggest redecorating. >> we have a few people clapping like, yeah, i go to my friend's house all the time. you really do? >> don't do that. >> you know what that means, if you do that it means that you are practical, but sometimes you need to learn to let go. in but you're lonely. >> there we go. so you describe yourself as the first and the last. a little bit of the middle part in there. >> i i think i might be all four. >> i think we all are. there we go. now everybody knows what they are. most of you are hoarders. but with heart.

>> a perfect segue because i loved your 73 videos. we did it. i covered it in "pop news" because i thought it was hilarious. you have four personals in your home but you also say you have many other alter egos. >> yes. >> you shared some. >> not personalities. >> alter egos. >> so how many are will. >> i believe there's four. mabel cohn, madam iver is an alcoholic life coach. she inadvertently killed somebody. i just want to be clear. these are alter ego, not me and client pi champion is a style architect. she's very -- she claims to have created -- person responsible for the style of the '90s but nobody knows her. nobody knows her. >> one more, isn't there one more? >> t-murda.

the internet called me that and she is just me doing rap because she is able to say things that i would never say. >> no. >> you did carpool karaoke with big sean. >> and i wrote some lyrics. that was so much fun. >> oh, so you wrote lyrics and she was in. >> where is the album? >> i don't know. probably never, but i never would say never. >> oh. >> yeah, have you done "car pool karaoke"? >> yeah, i did. >> most fun ever. >> i did it with jeff gordon and i'm driving. he's like, i'm the driver, get out. and ives like, okay. you don't argue with a race car driver. you let him drive. >> "black-ish" got off to a great start. i mean, "hamilton." >> yes. we tackled in line with the dna of our show the big issue. >> in a smart and creative way. >> we did a

juneteenth and what we celebrate in this country. >> it was -- our whole family was -- it must have taken forever to do that episode. >> no, it didn't. we did four days of rehearsal and did it in the five days we shoot an episode and we had to learn the song and all that kind of tough but mostly the subject matter and what we tackle on our show did so interesting and smart and really makes people think and think about things that we're not always thinking about and truthfully although we didn't plan it that way quite timely for all that's going on in our country. yeah. >> you all are not afraid to tackle the sensitive issues and to do it with humor and have a clip for "black-ish." >> put on tonight. >> postpartum. what you're going through. >> we're on a comedy and we do postpartum is tonight's theme. >> here's a look. >> i think we should take it just in case one of us has a debilitating moo

do you feel sad, hopeless, overwhelmed, empty? that's a nope for me. how about you? >> well, i don't know. i feel sad and i feel hopeless and i feel overwhelmed but i don't feel empty so i guess it's a no for me. [ laughter ] >> tracee. >> exactly the same time. >> thank you, again, you know, postpartum is prevalent and something that is not talked about and it is something that can be treated and supported and a lot of women experience it and i love that we address it on the show. and you know bo has had four children. her fifth children, she didn't experience it with her four children but with the fifth was disconcerting with her. >> which happens a lot. >> which happens a lot and so i'm really grateful we talked about this on the show and we do it in a

make fun of the issue but shines light and kind of unpacks something not usually talked about. >> what a gift. >> it was interesting to try to find the balance between having postpartum and being funny and sort of -- >> you did it in that clip. >> grounded in reality and no be making fun of it because it is not something to be made fun of. >> you guys are on point each and every week and make us think. you make us think. you make us laugh but more importantly, you bring something that we don't see oftentimes. >> i agree. i think the writers are extraordinary on our show and kenya barris really created something special that is needed right now and i feel really proud to be on the show. >> you should. >> thank you. >> well, the writers are incredible, but the actors are pretty incredible as well. >> thank you. >> they bring it all together. >> is it going to be back on -- like her cousin. >> june bug. >> it was too much work. >> yeah, i said you guys work too hard for me but i did -- i loved it.

>> yeah. >> i mean, she's of an age now where she can understand more of what all of that meant as we were going through it, you know, she was an infant, so -- in a large way last night was one of the big chances for her at this age to see her story and understand it in a different way so i think she was happy ultimately but it's always tough to see her cry. >> it was such a touching moment. you'll have that forever which we talked about earlier and i loved but last night everyone will have those dances forever. maks cried. we got people crying. >> maks cried, america. >> sharna, there had to be other dances that you thought, wow, that really touched me. what were some of the other ones that were highlights. >> all of them to be honest. i thought lindsay and maks' dance was incredible and just seeing the raw emotion on her face when she was dancing it. obviously val and victoria for me. we were all bawling our

not through sadness but through just purely being inspired by this incredible young woman and, of course, jordan seeing the tears on his face right before he had to dance and knowing what he was pushing through. it's a really credit night we we were all exhausted at the end of it we were crying so much. >> so and your mom, i know was so excited when she found out, i mean, forget the nba career, "dancing with the stars" for your mother was like the be all end all so how did she we yak last night when you had to go home. >> i can't tell you on abc. >> i had a feeling. i had a feeling. she's not shy. >> you don't want me to say what she said. i was reading that message it was not good. >> not abc. >> no, but she's -- she's happy. you know, i'm still her little boy. >> she's got to be proud. >> and for me to try something new and different outside of my comfort zone learn how to dance a little bit because of this young lady right here. >> a little
