you got a little something. >> i have to, i think. >> visine out tomorrow. also hillary clinton bringing out the big guns on the trail. >> yeah, we just saw president obama. he was on "jimmy kimmel" last night not holding back having a lot of fun, even read some mean tweets. let's take a look. >> my mom bought new conditioner and it sucks. it isn't even conditioning my hair. i blame obama. barack obama, bro, do you even lift? well, i lifted the ban on cuban cigar, that's worth something. >> he had a lot of fun there. also got a little serious about donald trump. we'll have more on that in a moment. but first we want to get to that breaking news. there was a deadly accident on an amusement park water ride in australia. four people were killed. abc's linzie janis has the breaking new details. good morning. >> reporter: this is a very common kind of ride. almost everyone who has been to a big amusement park has been on

or at least seen a ride like this one considered one of the more tame attractions for family, even young children. that is what makes this deadly accident so terrifying. overnight four people killed in an amusement park accident. two men and two women died when a raft overturned on the thunder river rapids ride in australia. the water ride malfunctioning, throwing people from the raft and trapping others underneath. >> one of the rides have sustained a -- some sort of malfunction causing two people to be ejected from a ride. another two people were caught inside the ride. >> reporter: park workers rushing to help the injured. horrified witnesses at the theme park describe the chaos after the incident. >> we just heard the guys in front of them flipped off and turned around and saw the whole thing flip over and heard everyone screaming. she came out hysterically crying and then two people that worked here took her away. >> reporter: normally the ride

holds people inside a circular raft floating down a rapid river pulling the raft along a conveyer belt. now investigators are trying to understand what caused the raft to flip over on the conveyer belt. australia's prime minister speaking out about the tragedy. >> it is a very sad day and we trust that there will be a thorough investigation of the causes of this accident over the days that follow. >> reporter: according to australia media there were reports of problems with the ride earlier in the day. investigators are going to be looking into that and pouring over security camera footage to figure out what went wrong. the park is closed. >> i would imagine that, okay, thanks very much. we move on to that massive manhunt in oklahoma for a man who killed two relatives, attacked police officers and civilians and livestreamed on facebook. jim avila is covering it from midwest city, oklahoma. good morning, jim. >> reporter: good morning, george. the fbi and u.s. marshals have now joined the search here.

this massive manhunt for a man named michael vance accused of shooting six people killing two of them and wounding two police officers. he hasn't been seen in more than 24 hours, the leads are getting cold and police are wondering if he might be dead from his own wounds. overnight, two oklahoma sheriff's deputies released from the hospital. victims of a violent rampage that has led to a statewide manhunt. >> two gunshot victims, that's affirmative to the leg and foot area. both patients are conscious. >> reporter: the man believed to be behind the attacks is labeled armed and dangerous. he's wounded and posted his getaway on facebook. >> let me tell you it hurts. >> reporter: even if we have that we don't want to get engaged in a shootout with someone armed with an ak-47. if people see him, do not approach. >> reporter: 38-year-old michael vance suspected of murdering his aunt and uncle in a small town 35 miles outside of oklahoma city. and allegedly shooting those two police officers and taking off

in their patrol pickup with an ak-47. vance then accused of attacking three more people while he made his getaway stealing two different getaway cars. >> i'm about to steal another car like right now. this is gonna be intense. >> reporter: jonathan and his pregnant wife had their car taken from them at gunpoint. >> he's got an assault rifle and tells us to get out of the car. >> letting you all know this is real, see that's a gun. that's the real deal. >> reporter: pollepolly was sho the leg. >> i got down but i had already been shot. >> reporter: vance displayed his own injuries on facebook. >> wow, that really hurt. see, i'm bleeding where the police shot me. >> reporter: police are warning the public that if they see this man, to stay away from him. along with an ak-47 he has a

communicable disease and people are worried he might try to spread it. the race for the white house two weeks to the day till election day and hillary clinton is leading in the polls and calling on her top surrogates including president obama to make her case as donald trump takes media coverage into his own hands and abc's cecilia vega is here with all those details. good morning. >> reporter: good morning to you. two weeks to go and it is time for the closing arguments. donald trump is going after the media and those polls claiming that they're rigged. hillary clinton is feeling so confident right now she's happy to let others do the attacking for her. donald trump claiming the system is rigged launched one of his famous attacks on the media overnight. >> these people are among the most dishonest people in the world, the media. >> reporter: and he's now trying to cut the media out of the equation altogether. launching a tv show on his facebook page, his aides there inside trump tower anchoring coverage leading up to his nightly rallies. the inaugural broadcast, not

without some hiccups. >> what's going on? >> give them a second, boys. it's all right. >> yep. >> reporter: on the other side hillary clinton feeling so confident she's now leaving her heavy hitting to others. from elizabeth warren. >> get this, donald. nasty women are tough. and on november 8th we nasty women are going to march our nasty feet to cast our nasty votes to get you out of our lives forever. >> reporter: to joe biden. >> i'd like to take him behind the gym if i were in high school. i mean, all kidding aside, wouldn't you? i mean, for real. >> reporter: even president obama getting in on the action on "jimmy kimmel." >> but what we haven't seen before, i think, is somebody questioning the integrity of elections and the will of the people. >> reporter: trump landing a spot on kimmel's mean tweets.

the president all too happy to play along. >> president obama will go down as perhaps the worst president in the history of the united states, exclamation point. @realdona @realdonaldtrump. well, @realdonaldtrump, at least i will go down as a president. >> yeah, ouch. so clinton is now feeling so confident she's not just campaigning for her own win on the top of the ticket but also for down ballot candidates too, both clinton and trump are in that also important battleground of florida where clinton has a lead in the poll, george, and voting is already under way there. >> okay, cecilia, let's dig into the polls right now. our latest tracking poll out shows clinton holding that 12-point lead over trump. want to bring in jon karl to talk about where things stand and clinton is really solidi solidifying her hold on the race. >> reporter: especially state by state where it matters. our partners at fivethirtyeight now give hillary clinton nearly 84% chance of winning the

election. and, george, understand why, take a look at our abc news race ratings. of course, the red states are advantage donald trump. blue state, advantage hillary clinton. right now, just in the states where hillary clinton is already leading, she gets to 308 electoral votes. that's more than enough to win the presidency. >> of course, it's possible that there's a massive shift that changes everything across the board but absent that let's look at what the most plausible path is for donald trump to get those 270 electoral votes. >> reporter: this is the way the trump team sees the race in their path. they take this map, they say they'll hang on to the traditionally red states of utah and arizona, convert nevada, win nevada, win the state of florida, they're still not there yet. win the state of north carolina and then win the state of ohio, hang on to iowa, they're still not there yet but they then win the state of new hampshire, that gets them to 269, 269, then they have their eyes on the second congressional district of maine, a single electoral vote that

would get them to 270 as you can see. a very narrow path to victory. >> one of the problems at least four of those states, just about every public poll in the month of october has her ahead right now and the early vote has started. >> reporter: yeah, the early vote is not looking good for donald trump. we already have about 7 million americans that have voted. 1 million voted just yesterday. we don't know how they voted but we do have some information on who has voted. and if you look at the state of nevada, 52% of the ballots cast have been cast by democrats. only 30% by republicans. far outpassing more democrats when they won the race four years ago. north carolina, 55% of the ballots requested have been requested by women and as you know we have a big gender gap in this race. women are voting overwhelmingly for hillary clinton. >> okay, jon, thanks very much. >> all right, thank you, jon. let's bring in matt dowd. how are you doing, my friend. >> michael, i'm great. >> we heard jon talk about the poll numbers and seems like

trump has a big uphill climb. do you think he can pull it off? >> no candidate in modern times has come back being this far down at this far late in the process. nobody has ever done it. i think it will akin to the bills comeback against the oilers 20 years ago. >> i was an oilers fan, yes, i do. >> four touchdowns down. and they came back. he'll have to channel his inner doug flutie and need a couple of hail marys and our fathers. >> our tracking poll has hillary clinton up by 12 but the just released cnn poll has her up only by 5. people want to know why is there such a major difference. >> i think it's important for the viewers to look at this and if i were everybody, i would take all the polls, average them and get to where the number realistically is. i think it's around seven or eight. when you have a seven or eight-point lead you will have polls real, true that will have her at 11 and 12 and polls that have her at four or five. if the number sits in the middle. that's why you get those two. >> we heard in cecilia vega's

report, elizabeth warren hammering trump about those nasty women remarks yet in the new cnn poll it shows trump is still getting 41% of women voters. does that tell you anything. >> even in a large electoral loss in a national loss, donald trump's going to get 55, 57 million votes in this election. even in a loss. and of that number he's going to get 25 or 30 million women votes. part is not just donald trump but it's a comparison between hillary clinton and many of those women dislike hillary clinton more than they dislike donald trump. >> jon, one of the things that the trump team seems to be counting on is there's some kind of a systemic bias in all of these public polls. >> they think these polls are overstating democrats. they believe that there is a basically a hidden donald trump vote that is out there sort of silent majority to borrow nixon's phrase that will carry him through but you have to believe that all of these polls are off including the state polls. >> okay, two weeks from today we

will find out. now to bad weather on both coasts this morning. we're feeling the chill in times square and, ginger, there's some major storms out west. >> robin, look at this. the lightning in newport beach, california. something you don't see every day. the video showing you there was a san diego high school football student or a football player that was struck by lightning. thankfully he is okay this morning and that was just the first storm. there is another storm on the way. that's the one that went through. this one will impact parts of central and southern california by thursday into friday. look at some of those storms at 4:00 a.m. mudslides in some of the burn areas and a quick look, robin, at that freeze watch from virginia up to massachusetts. >> oh, boy, we'll keep an eye on that. thank you. now to amy with the morning's other top stories starting with the controversy over soldiers' bonus. >> that's right. we have new details after the pentagon ordered some veterans to pay back the bonuses they received for serving in iraq and afghanistan. members of congress say they're outraged but the "l.a. times" reports the california national

guard told lawmakers about this issue two years ago and congress did nothing about it. thousands of soldiers have been ordered to repay the money because a national guard official handed out payments to soldiers, didn't qualify for. militants have launched a four-hour attack on a police academy in pakistan. at least 59 cadets and guards have been killed at the facility in quetta near the afghan border. isis and the pakistani taliban have claimed responsibility. and back here in this country four teenagers are under arrest in philadelphia after a string of random attacks on the campus of temple university. surveillance video showing there a mob of up to 200 people assaulting and robbing students after they couldn't get into a local theater on friday. well, get ready for sticker shock if you're looking into the price of obamacare plans. the average premiums are expected to rise by 25% next year. many consumers will also be limited to choosing plans from just one provider. finally you don't want to see this on your commute and we

don't suggest you doing what this man did. he chased after his car, look at him, on the freeway. he had pulled over but forgot to use the parking brake. if not for a sign that eventually stops the car from rolling, this could have been a lot worse and, of course, those drivers thankfully slowed down but there he is, look, still running after his car. the other drivers did -- were able to avoid hitting him, thank goodness. i don't know what he thought he was going to do. did he think he would catch the cary. >> watching a lot of movies. somehow get in and stop the car. >> let's just say he wasn't thinking. >> thankfully he's here to still think. >> good point. thank you. >> i appreciate that, amy. now, all eyes are on cleveland tonight. the indians are hosting game one of the world series against the cubs and right across the street, the cavaliers are getting their nba championship ring. our cubs superfan paula faris is in there in the middle of all the chaos. good morning to you, paula. >> good morning, michael. that ring ceremony you mentioned happening right here at quicken

loans arena honestly just step as way from progressive field where they'll be playing game one of the world series tonight. they've even changed the tart times to accommodate fans and cleveland fans feeling the winds of change finally blowing in their favor. tonight begins the tale of two cities, two teams in the best of times after decades of the worst of times. >> baseball gods are saying about this matchup. >> the baseball gods are probably really happy right now relationship the chicago cubs and the cleveland indians both hoping to break their curses and taking extra precaution. >> you want to wear the same underwear. you don't want to have to change your underwear out. i mean, you wash it, but -- >> reporter: the cubs dubbed the lovable losers haven't won the world series since 1908. but cleveland fans say chicago might be getting a bit greedy. in the past 50 years chicago has won 11 major sports championships, cleveland, only one. >> cleveland is a city of

champions once again. >> reporter: and that was just a couple of months ago when the cavaliers finally broke that losing streak. stephen king even tweeting enough with the cubs. how about some love for the cleveland indians? go, tribe. cleveland essentially has been universally mocked as the mistake by the lake. even movies like "major league" poking fun at the indians. >> every newspaper in the country has picked us to finish last. >> reporter: but now a renewed feeling of possibility. while much of america is pulling for the cubs, you have george stephanopoulos on your side. >> i'll take it for sure. >> okay, so we mentioned that movie "major league." cleveland fans were pushing for charlie sheen to dress up has hs character wild thing and throw out the first pitch but last night said he couldn't make it. they might be calling upon the lefty. >> i'm ready. cocoa's real answer is who is

he? >> i don't care how many games you win, change your underwear. >> michael, decent tonight weatherwise. not as great tomorrow. your local weather in 30 seconds. >> good morning everyone, dave murphy here with an update from accuweather. we have no precipitation on storm tracker6 live double scan. as we take a look outside a few clouds out there but overall a lot of sun building over the horizon. it's chilly. temperatures in the mid 40's across most of the region. and this afternoon sunny but blustery and cool with a high

with her and you saw her outside the office, correct? >> i saw her one time. >> reporter: for dr. phil this week a blockbuster booking, former congressman gary condit talking about chandra levy, the intern he was accused of having an affair with before she suddenly disappeared in d.c.'s rock creek park 15 years ago. he denies both the affair and any involvement in her murder. >> i saw her one time outside the office at a restaurant and she came by my condo once. >> came by your condo once. >> maybe twice, yeah, i think it was twice she came by. >> reporter: this is the first time condit has spoken about the case since he sat down with abc's connie chung back in 2001. >> did you have anything to do with her disappearance? >> no, i didn't. >> did you cause anyone to harm her? >> no. >> did you kill chandra levy? >> i did not. >> reporter: eventually police ruled condit out as a suspect in levy's murder but the man they later convicted, a homeless

selling ice cream. we'll move on to new testimony from the woman featured in that now retracted "rolling stone" article about an alleged rape at a university of virginia frat house. jurors got to see the videotape deposition and new detail, amy. >> she's only known as jackie. her story helped bring attention to sexual assault on campus, now her testimony could help the case of a former associate dean of the school suing over the way she was portrayed in that "rolling stone" article. overnight for the first time jurors hearing from the woman at the center of that now infamous "rolling stone" article, "a rape on campus" in a videotaped deposition played in court monday, the uva opportunity known as jackie says that she was under impression that the article was about assault advocacy and details of her alleged rape were not going to be published. i was "i was 20 years old and had no idea there was an off the record or on the record. i was naive." jackie says she felt like she

was going to be misquoted but felt pressured by the magazine to participate in the story and that when a friend of hers mentioned her concerns to the reporter, sabrina erdely, erdely responded there is no pulling the plug at this point. it is moving forward. it became their most read noncelebrity story ever. erdely highly critical of the uva administration including former associate dini coal eramo. >> how would you describe how "rolling stone" portrayed you. >> it made it look like i used the trust of young women to cover up rape and that was so far from anything i would ever do. it's just unbelievable to me. >> reporter: eramo is suing erdely and the magazine for over $7 million saying she was painted as a chief villain. jackie disagreeing with the article's portrayal of eramo saying the dean never discouraged her from reporting the alleged assault, quote, she wanted to see me get some kind of justice.

since its publishing the "rolling stone" article has been refracted but jackie maintains that she was assaulted. testifying in deposition that while she believes erdely manipulated her story in order to write something sensational, she believes her intentions were good. i believe she did the best she could. and eramo is suing for more than $7 million saying the article damaged her reputation, her career and her health and this trial is expected to go on at least till the end of this week. >> okay, amy, thanks very much. >> and we have the big board coming up. coming up on our big board the first lady is being called a rock star on the campaign trail. but will she run for office next? we're going to find out about that. plus, what about justin bieber's on stage meltdown. is it too late to say sorry. >> ding, ding, ding, ding. >> in honor of you, amy. we're back in two minutes to talk about that. >> cheer, michael. nice job. >> cheers.

[ cheers and applause ] >> she is spectacular but i was telling somebody backstage. michelle was never wild about politics. michelle once explained to me i try to organize my life not to

have a lot of mess around and politics is just a big mess. >> and, cokie, she has repeatedly, michelle obama, repeatedly been asked this and repeatedly she has held steadfast no but democrats in illinois they got some openings coming up and hoping she may change her mind? >> i think she's saying no way, absolutely, absolutely no way. but you know part of -- that's part of the reason she's so effective, robin. everybody knows that she's the real deal. and she's not running for something herself so anything she says actually sounds authentic because it is. >> but, cokie, if she doesn't run for public office what do you think she'll do next. >> she's consulted with other first ladies. she and laura bush are good friends and she's made it clear that let girls learn, a program to keep girls around the world in school is something that she says will be her life's work. and military families will also stay on her agenda.

>> both of the obamas are very young. in their early 50s. they have a lot they can do. >> i know she will continue to be effective and help a lot of people. >> wherever she is. >> and thank you, cokie. next up, a police chief is now defending his department's ridealong program after a civilian passenger was caught in a dangerous shoot-out on sunday. take a look.

but i'm not surprised that the officer -- the chief said this because these four -- these police officers ride-alongs are very important talking about community outreach, showing the community how important police work is and you also are looking at recruitment, whether people who say they're going to be police officers actually want to do the job. >> well, but a shoot-out will help you figure that out. >> talking about 14 shots, two shots that went through this car, one of the bullets went right between the passenger and the officer. this is dangerous. >> yeah, very much so. of course, if you're going to be with police officers. we see this all around the country, ride-along programs. >> they'll look at this and look at this video and they're probably going to use this training video across the country because, in fact, this particular department is going to be using this video as part of their training and also you got to look at these bulletproof vests. this officer in this case had what they call a soft

bulletproof vest. she did not have anything on. so i don't believe that they're going to look at this and say there there's not any change coming. i think they'll have to look at that and say we'll have to do something. >> protect the passenger a little more. >> absolutely, gio, thanks so much. okay. hit it, lily. hit it. ♪ is it too late now to say sorry ♪ >> the biebs' popular song "sorry," the singer walked offstage midconcert in england. here's a video of him posted on youtube. >> the screaming during these breaks has got to stop. >> drop the mike moment. former editor in chief of "people" magazine and our dear, dear friend larry hackett. >> good morning. >> is here. this is not the first time. >> it's not. he's going through pop star growing pains. there is a new movie out called "eight days a week."

way frosty start tomorrow and a freeze warning in effect overnight tonight. >> ♪ so much. and now we're going to talk about the best ways to prevent joint pain. i had to have surgery and my hip replaced because of a congenital condition but a lot go through -- how do you say it. >> argue throwscopic surgery. >> thank you, osteoarthritis, big problem. good news there are ways to strengthen the body and help avoid invasive operations. we're going to get into that with todd, my physical therapist in a moment. some very simple exercises i promise will help you but first here's the back story. >> i know all too well severe joint pain can be absolutely debilitating. >> oh, my god. it's so hard. >> osseoarthritis, the most common form of joint pain affects 27 million americans. almost 20% of them are under the age of 60. it is painful and it is the leading cause of joint

replacement surgery. most people think the condition is impossible to avoid. the simple result of growing older. but that's not true and doctors say there are ways to prevent or at least put off the worst of osseoarthritis. >> the prevailing thought is that if you keep your muscles strong, flexible and in good balance, you're going to prevent abnormal joint stresses. >> reporter: although doctors cannot always predict who will get osseoarthritis. they think certain kinds of exercise, though, can go a long way towards helping the body. >> i think one of the most important things when it comes to exercising is to be assessed. to make sure you're doing exercises that are appropriate for you. >> all right, we're joined by my physical therapist todd wilkowski. thank you, thank you, thank you for helping me. it's been three months since my surgery, up, moving. i ran two miles yesterday and a lot of this is -- well, it's all about exercise. and what we're talking about today is exercising, when you have osseoarthritis to hopefully

avoid surgery altogether. how important is exercising? >> exercise is important because it brings blood flow to the joints and to the musculature and also important for weight control. we know that when someone is carrying a couple extra pounds for each extra pound they carry it increases the stress that they're hit by six pounds and three pounds of extra stress at the knee joint if if you're feeling those aches and pains just getting up and moving can really make i difference, a couple pounds, you had me in an ultra g treadmill and took away some of my body weight to run so it was less pressure on the joints, the difference it makes is unbelievable. so getting up and moving is critical. >> it's critical and like you referenced the ultra g, to actually understand what it feels like to take a little bit of that weight off and how much better the joints actually felt when you were exercising there. >> all right, so let's talk about some myths. you'll be our myth buster. there are a lot of questions people have. first i want to say arthritis is not just for old people.

i just want to say it's for active people so a lot have asked those questions, what's the deal. why so young, i know i'm only 26 but it happens so we're here to help you with important information. number one, here's a myth, guys. we want the audience to participate. tell us if you think it's a truth or myth. cracking your knuckles causes arthritis in your joints of the hand. most people think that's a myth. i got a couple -- todd, the real answer. >> it is a myth. [ cheers and applause ] even though i tell my children otherwise, because i can't stand the popping at the dinner table, it's actually a response of -- a release of gases within the joint. it's -- >> it's no big deal. >> to big deal. no scientific evidence to back up that it causes arthritis. >> okay, myth number two, heat is better than ice for sore joints. is that a myth or is that true? heat is better than ice for joints? a lot of people think it's a

myth that heat is better. a couple of truths in there. what do you say, todd. >> it's a myth. it actually -- it actually depends on the time of the day when you're using it. ice usually better in the evenings or after someone has been active on a joint and it's inflamed. it helps alleviate the pain. we usually recommend heat earlier in the day to warm the joins up or prior to exercise >> that's the way we do it and then ice. let's get up. we want to show you a couple of quick exercises. oh, wait. they're saying we have time for one more myth buster. when it comes to exercise, no pain no gain. is that true or a myth. >> what do we got? >> we got a mixed bag. >> it is a mixed bag. there's actually some truth to that and myth as well. >> all right, everybody wins. >> what's the deal? >> the truth is, a little bit of muscle soreness is normal. pain and soreness you experience for 24 to 36 hours after exercise in the muscles, good. intense sharper pain that you can get in the joint, not so

good. that's something where you want to avoid that exercise and, you know, seek attention from a medical professional. >> that throbbing, trust me, you'll know it. they're very different. that's exactly what we discovered. we'll have to do our exercises and do them and put them on our website because we've run out of time. thank you for all the myths and thank you guys for helping us participate. so much great information out there. really important to know so we'll definitely post that. coming up, cupcakes. after a workout who doesn't need a cupcake. i've always taken on the status quo. in harrisburg, they didn't like it when i stopped their perks and pushed for reform. as head of pennsylvania's third-largest county, i cut out wall street middlemen to protect pensions. now, as chairman of the pennsylvania commission on crime, i'm leading the fight to stop the epidemic of heroin and opioid abuse. as attorney general, i'll prosecute anyone who scams our seniors. and i'll hold the oil and gas companies accountable to keep our drinking water safe. i'm josh shapiro. i'll be an attorney general who always fights for you.
