good morning, america. and breaking right now, donald trump surging in our brand-new poll topping hillary clinton for the first time since may. as she battles back against that fbi investigation, defiant and demanding answers. >> i am sure they will reach the same conclusion they did when they looked at my e-mails. there is no case here. donald trump doubling down. >> the clinton crime spree end, it's going to enden 0 november 8th. >> both their campaign managers are here this morning with exactly one week until election day. breaking overnight halloween hayride disaster. three killed, seven other injured. ambulances and helicopters race to the scene. it's only november 1st but the black friday deals are already starting this morning

earlier than ever. the big amazon savings coming your way. and dangerous dip. a couple's late night swim interrupted by a crocodile sliding into the pool snapping and attacking. the race to get out. the whole terrifying encounter caught on camera. we'll get to that video. he left her but he came back from her. everybody is safe. good morning. good morning, america. we have a lot of news to get to. we hope everyone enjoyed halloween last night. >> i think everyone did. i don't think anybody had as much fun as the obamas celebrating in the white house. >> "thriller." >> we've seen him dance a little bit better than. >> he was having a lot of fun. one week away from the election. a brand-new poll out. our new tracking poll shows

donald trump ahead for the first time since may . it's a one-point lead, 46/45. >> it comes after that bombshell announcement from james comey and the fbi is fast-tracking their investigation into e-mails linked to hillary clinton's private server. clinton firing back. and cecilia vega is in westchester, new york, with her campaign. good morning, cecilia. >> reporter: robin, good morning. the likelihood it's complete before election day is low but the one thing that both have in common on this front. they are both using this investigation to rally their supporters to the polls. hillary clinton on her campaign plane overnight letting loose with staffers after spending her day on the trail trying to ex-tension wish the political fire engulfing her campaign. >> i'm sure a lot of you may be asking what this new e-mail story is about. >> reporter: from cleveland. >> there is no case here.

and they said it wasn't even a close call and i think most people have decided a long time ago what they think about all of this. >> reporter: to cincinnati, clinton putting on a defiant front. >> look, i've said repeatedly, you know, i made a mistake. if they want to look at some more e-mails of one of my staffers, by all means, go ahead. i know they will reach the same conclusion they reached when they looked at my e-mails last year, right? >> reporter: that staffer, of course, huma abedin, hillary's top aide who hasn't been seen on the trail since friday when comey announced that renewed investigation after new e-mails were discovered. those e-mails on anthony weiner's computer, abedin's estranged husband part of a separate investigation accused of sexting with a minor. abedin's lawyer saying in a statement her client evenly learned for the first time on

friday from press reports of the possibility that a laptop belonging to mr. weiner could contain e-mails of hers while the fbi has not contacted us about this, ms. abedin will be as she always has been forthcoming and cooperative. the white house staying on the sidelines. >> i'll defend nor criticize what director directcomey has d to communicate to the public about this. the president doesn't believe that director comey is intentionally trying to influence the outcome of an election. >> reporter: donald trump sounding thankful for a pre-election day surprise. >> good job, huma. thank you, anthony weiner. >> reporter: now, clinton's strategy on this, she really seems to be trying to tackle it head on. the big question how does this play out when it comes to the ballot box? george, nearly 25 million americans have already cast their ballots in this race.

>> thanks, cecilia. we are joined by hillary clinton's campaign manager robby mook. robby, thanks for joining us. i take cecilia's last point about a lot of early votes already in the bank but our new poll shows donald trump ahead for the first time since may. pretty dramatic drop over the last ten days. are you worried this race may slip away from you. >> i'm not, george. but what we are focused on right now is making sure every single one of our supporters understands how important it is that they turn out and vote. you know, the polls are going to go up and down and have done that the whole time on this race. we have a week to go. we're running like we're 0 points behind. >> there is some evidence you have taken a hit since that announcement from director comey. you are now accusing him of a double standard. hillary clinton accusing him of bowing to partisan pressure. are you worried at all that will come back to haunt you? >> i don't think so, george. you know, director comey has been criticized from both sides on this now. you have a former attorney general under president obama,

former attorney general under george w. bush both saying it was a mistake. you've had former justice department officials saying it was a mistake then we've come to learn from anonymous leaks that are coming out that director comey's own superiors at justice warned him not to do this. this is a break in protocol then just yesterday we found out it was director comey who is privately trying to prevent the report that the russians were the ones who stole e-mails from the dnc and from our campaign staff. >> "the new york times" is reporting this morning that fbi investigators have found no conclusive evidence of a direct link between trump and the russian government. do you accept that? >> well, what we are told they're investigating -- again, director comey said what he's doing with hillary clinton. he won't say what he's doing with donald trump but what we're hearing from anonymous leaks is they're investigating donald trump's ex-campaign manager over his connections to the russians. they're investigating carter

page, a gentleman who donald trump said was one of his foreign policy advisers. >> it's not an investigation but an inquiry. >> i'd like director comey to clarify that. he had no problem having a long press conference and editorializing about investigations into secretary clinton. i don't see why he can't come out and explain what's going on with donald trump and it is particularly odd that he was -- that he was the one who was privately trying to prevent the announcement that it was the russians when 17 security agencies said it was the russians that were stealing our e-mails. he was the one trying to prevent that from being released. >> another report in "the new york times" suggesting donald trump may have avoided hundreds of millions of dollars in taxes by failing to report forgiven debt as income. we'll ask david bossie about that but sure appears donald trump will avoid releasing his tax returns before the election. >> you know, george, this is unprecedented for 40 years people have gone to the polls having seen the candidates' tax return, early voting has already

started. this is the first time in decades and what's particularly astounding about this recent report is that donald trump was writing off other people's losses, so not only did he not pay taxes for 20 year, he was writing off people's losses, some of the loopholes he was using are against the law. >> one week to go. are you going to win? >> we are going to win this election but it's important that every one of our supporters turns out. >> robby mook, than very much. >> thanks. >> let's talk to david bossie, deputy campaign manager for donald trump. thanks for coming in. >> thanks for having me. >> you saw robby mook say he's going to win. you're ahead in our newest poll but the electoral college is stacked against you. >> it is but we're in great shape. we're on offense everywhere. hillary clinton, robby mook is understanding what is going on. there is an enthusiasm gap for their voters and we're showing mr. trump's having 10,000, 20,000 show up at a rally. they're -- >> walk us through your path.

it is so narrow in that electoral college. >> you know what, it's narrow every four years. for us as the demographics have changed in these states. we'll win. we're winning in florida right now and in north carolina right now. we're going to win ohio and iowa and that's the basis of our path to victory. >> public polls show her ahead in north carolina but even if you win every tate that you just laid out you still have to win other states that are solidly blue right now like new hampshire. nevada or someplace like pennsylvania, michigan or wisconsin. >> and we're going to. we're competing right now heavily in pennsylvania, in new hampshire, michigan, wisconsin. new mexico. nevada. >> you can see you're behind in all those states. >> we concede it's within the margin of error. our enthusiasm. we have closed this gap as you pointed out dramatically over the last week and continue to expand. mr. trump's message of hope, growth and opportunity that he's bringing to every american in every blue state is resonating with people and that's why they want change.

they want someone -- they don't want four more years of clinton investigations which i've lived lew. >> you talk about that but we have this story in "the new york times" about donald trump and his taxes suggesting that he wrote off hundreds of millions of dollars in other people's losses, even though his tax advisers said it was a dubious plan and here's what they say, the tax experts say the maneuver trampled a court tax policy by conferring enormous tax benefits on mr. trump or losing vast amounts of other's people money. don't the american people have a right to know what mr. trump did there? >> sure, you know, i'm not familiar with that quote but mr. trump's under audit. mr. trump is going -- >> this isn't audit. this was in the early 1990s. >> he's been under audit every year for 19 years. >> those cases are closed. >> i understand that. >> so i'm not familiar with that exact whose quote that is in "the new york times" which obviously had a big problem with mr. trump has been incredibly unfair. >> he's not going to release the

tax returns before the election? >> he's going to release them when his audit is complete. >> even though there are several returns not under audit? >> he's going to release them when he's not under audit. >> same ask i asked robby mook. are you going to win. >> we are going to win. our enthusiasm and ground game and what reince priebus has built is tremendous over the last four years. we have an incredible team that we are working well together. >> david bossie, thanks very much. >> all right, george, thank you. we heard from the campaigns about their own paths to winning but let's bring in jon karl to break down the strategies. let's begin, jon, with donald trump. >> well, good morning, robin. if you look at the polls you have seen some tightening like we've seen in the national polls in the states but there's still a long way to go for donald trump. let's take a look at three of the most recent ones. in florida, trump is on the move. up 2. that's within the margin of error in the latest poll but if you look at north carolina, another one of those must win states for him. the most recent poll gives hillary clinton an advantage

with four and then new hampshire, up seven in the latest poll and we haven't seen a poll in new hampshire with a trump lead for a long, long time. so if you look at the map overall, this is the abc news race ratings. red states advantage trump, blue states, advantage hillary clinton. she's still got a big advantage. to win, robin, what he needs to do is win every single one of the states that we classify as a toss- toss-up. utah and arizona, florida, north carolina, ohio and even if he wins all of those states, even at the runs the table he still is short of the 270 votes he would need to get elected president and needs to flip a blue state. david bossie mentioned pennsylvania. if he can win pennsylvania, a astronaut republicans haven't won in 16 years he gets more than 270 and would have enough to win. the bottom line here, robin, is that donald trump needs to run the table. needs to win every single one of those toss-up states and even

that will not be enough. >> let's go back for a moment, jon, to the new tracking poll, abc news tracking poll because people will wake up and see for the first time since may that donald trump is in the lead. >> yeah, so more than any single factor, what is driving that is enthusiasm. if you go back a week ago, trump had an advantage. his supporters were more enthusiastic about him than hillary clinton's supporters were about her. that has now flipped. so, you know, hillary clinton had -- i did it the wrong way. hillary clinton had the advantage a week ago. now trump does. >> it's possible on either side you could have one win the popular vote anticipate one win the electoral college. >> if you look at our poll and take it literally that's what would happen. we've seen that happen before. >> we have seen it happen before. >> and we'll know exactly one week from today and we'll have full team coverage for you starting tuesday night at 7:00 p.m. eastern. george will anchoring with our

entire political team and download the abc news app for breaking updates and live streams. one week from today. >> one week from today and now let's turn to that scary halloween accident and linsey davis is it here. what a terrible tragedy. >> this is a tough one. i the kind of scene that played out no doubt all over the country, people donning their costumes and taking a hayride to celebrate. in mississippi the fun turned into horror after a crash that's now claimed three lives. just before 8:00 p.m. this flatbed truck collided into the back of a hayride packed with revelers celebrating halloween. two children and one adult killed all members of the same family. >> multiple injuries and multiple fatalities. >> reporter: at least seven others believed to be injured. [ sirens ] multiple ambulances raced to the scene as choppers medevacked them to local hospitals.

several of the injured are still fighting for their lives this morning. >> this is a bad thing to happen anywhere but when it's local it really hits home. >> reporter: both were heading west on highway 80 in miswhen the truck slammed into the hayride. the.com corps row another described the scene as chaos. there were ten victims in all, several are described as having life-threatening injuries. the condition of the pickup driver is yet to be released. certainly a tragic day for this small town community, michael. >> bad tragedy. thank you, linsey. now, amy, you have the morning's other top stories for us. what do you got. >> thousands of commuters in philadelphia are now looking for a different way to get to work now that transit workers have gone on strike shutting down bus and subway service. the main contract issue is over pensions. the two sides are said to be far apart and there are concerns a prolonged strike could keep some voters from getting to the polls next week. gas prices could rise following an explosion that has shut down one of the largest fuel pipelines in the country. one worker was killed.

several injured by the explosion during maintenance work in rural alabama. the same pipeline was shut down for 12 days back in september because of a leak that led to gas shortages across the south. well, we are now hearing the 911 calls made by the orlando nightclub shooter as the siege was under way back in june. police already knew about the shooting inside the pulse nightclub when their negotiator got on the phone with omar mateen when he was in the bathroom where he had taken hostages. >> hello. >> hello there. hi there. this is lap police. whom am i speaking with please. >> you're speaking with the person who pledged allegiance to the islamic state. >> can you tell me where you are right now? so i can get you some help? >> no. because you have to tell america to stop bombing syria and iraq. they're killing a lot of innocent people. you get what i'm saying? >> i do. i completely get what you're saying. >> police later busted through the wall freeing those hostages. mateen was killed in a

suv. >> cooper was the sweetest boy. >> reporter: she walked jurors through family photos and home videos showing harris to be a dedicated father. harris cried with her. he's charged with murder and is pleading not guilty saying he simply forgot to drop the boy off at day care. they're seen here in surveillance video from a chick-fil-a restaurant that morning. earlier this year harris and taylor divorced. but she still told jurors harris was a good dad and that her son's death was an accident. >> it was the only thing that went in my mind as even a remote possibly, he was never checked in. if he was never checked in then he must have forgot. >> reporter: while she's no longer a suspect police say they investigated taylor after she was overheard asking harris if he said too much to authorities. taylor explained in court that at the time she didn't understand why harris was being charged and thought maybe this

was why. >> he talks a lot. even if he doesn't have anything to say. >> reporter: prosecutors argue that harris killed his son because he really wanted a child-free life. while his son was dieing in this suv parked outside harris was inside his office sexting with other women. taylor agreed they had marriage problems, but she told the court he was still a good father. >> he wanted to be with him enjoying every second he could with him. >> reporter: one other note, there were a number of accusations that harris was looking up websites about hot car deaths before his son died but that was knocked down pretty hard in court. hard for many to believe but there may be plenty of room for reasonable doubt here. george. >> let's bring that to our legal an cysts. dan abrams and nancy grace grace author of "murder in the courthouse." you've been following it closely. have your views shifted? >> after watching the

prosecution's case and watch watching her testimony not only do i think the case is weak i think he may be innocent of the murder charge. remember this claim about the child-free site he was on. what did he write back, grossness. remember the claim that he was trying to get a vacation without his child. well, turns out the night before his child died he reached out to a travel agent about a vacation with his child. you also have even some of these women with whom he was having an affair saying he said he would leave his wife except for the fact that he loved his child. he didn't want to leave his child. now you've got his ex-wife, ex-wife's testimony which is so powerful and his defense and i'm starting to think this really, really could have been a he horrible accident. >> reasonable doubt? >> i don't see it. many of the things dan just said are true, but you can't get around -- i mean, the hooker, the other women, the sexting, all of that is just icing on the

cake. you don't need it. the logistics of that day alone support the state's case. i went to the scene. i drove the distance he drove. the monitors in chick-fil-a that the jury is seeing showed the baby alert, well, laughing. i looked at them. he forgot his child was in the backseat in two minutes. before he went into work he had to reach in the backseat to get his bag. he forgot his child? he goes inside. he sits there all day and doesn't remember. he even staging a trip to the car at lunchtime and goes in the car with the baby in the car. >> let's talk about that. which is one of these claims that was one of the most horrible claims. this idea that he goes back to the car at lunchtime a sort of staged effort to make sure the child may be dead or something. it turns out he claims he needed lightbulbs and threw lightbulbs

into the car. they went to his house to determine whether he had lightbulbs that were out. guess what, he did. and when you look at the video it backs up his story. >> he went in his car, he went in his car and, dan, isn't it true when he went in his car his child was dying or dead in the car seat in the car. >> correct. he didn't go in his car. he threw something in his car. >> forget the lightbulbs. i don't care. he had to open the door in you need to care because it's a relevant fact. >> the child is in there dying in yes. he opens the door, puts something in. at 3:00 he techs his wife, hey, are you picking up my buddy. ding, ding, it never hit him? i left the kid in the car. >> think about this -- >> then he goes back to the car at 5:00 after announcing to the security guard, hey, i'm going to a movie. he goes, he drives -- >> wait, hang on a sec before

you go through the entire account of the story. hang on one sec. the claim is he deletes all of his search history, right, because he's trying to hide this from the authorities. and yet -- wait, wait, wait. >> the logistics. >> the same day he is texting all these women, right, so he's carefully and meticulously cleaning out his search history yet the day it happens he's texting with women. >> this is not going to get involv involved. should he take the stand? >> no. >> nancy. >> the reason they put her on the stand is so he wouldn't have to take the stand. >> she was great. he doesn't need to. >> the judge will tell the jury, hey, it's just direct. wait until cross is done. >> cross is going on. they haven't made much progress. >> you guys will be back. thanks very much. >> well it's not over yet. >> yeah, all right. >> that's the last word. michael, what's coming up on the big board. >> that's far from over. coming up on our big board are

arrested for drunk driving years earlier in may. i'll never forget when the news broke. i was covering al gore with him in new mexico. that clearly had an impact on the race. you looked at the polling before the race, bush had a comfortable lead. the polls closed and as you remember we had virtually a tie on election day. look, there are others that people thought at the time would have an impact and didn't. october 29th of 2004, osama bin laden releases a tape and everybody thinks this is going to help george w. bush and plays up terrorism and had virtually no impact on the race. another one, kind of echoes this one. i'll give you one more, 1992, the other george bush cap weinberger secretary of defense for reagan is indicted on october 30th. indicted, a second indictment. this brings up the iran-contra thing and looks bad for bush. bush was down when the news came out. he actually if you look at the polling might have come up a little bit and then, of course, he lost anyway. >> those were things in the

past. how is this october surprise going to affect this election. >> you got october surprises on both sides. >> we've had so many october surprises. >> i mean, my god, the whole campaign has been a surprise. i think this one is clearly already had an impact. we talked earlier in the show about the enthusiasm for hillary is down and for trump it's up. clearly had an impact. i don't think it will have a decisive impact on the race. >> people at this point have pretty much made up their mind. should i vote for hillary, should i vote for trump? >> either one of you do uber or lyft. >> sure. >> here's something for both of you. next up we have an alarming new study about uber and lyft. they found evidence of racial discrimination and sexism by some drivers and becky worley is joining us now and, becky, i used the service as you see everybody here did. what is the study telling us. >> well, michael, ubering while

black and female is harder than it is for white men. researchers conducted experiments on the three big ride sharing service, we're talk ift, uber and others, with blacks with african-american sounding names they rose and wait times 25% longer. for women they rode the same distance but it took six% longer and that means they cost more. the authors explain that as a combination of profiteering and flirting to a captive audience, the takeaway when user profiles indicate race and male drivers have women passengers in the car there is a quantifiable difference in service. >> how are the companies reporting to this, becky? >> you know, the folks at lyft saying their service did better than uber in the study and added lyft has had a positive impact

on communities of color. taxis have historically neglected these neighborhoods aand they told us they don't tolerate discrimination in any form. uber says taxis were problematic and say studies like this one are helpful in thinking about how they can do even more. so we'll see. >> all right. >> maybe don't show your name. >> that would be a way of going about it. thank you very much. maybe they're taking uber and lyft to the game tonight. that big game, the cleveland indians back at home and one game away, as you know from winning it all but the cubs are putting up a fight. espn's eduardo perez is on the field. good for you to get up and join us. okay, just tell us, what do you think is going to happen tonight? >> well, i think the cleveland indians are going to win and one of the biggest reasons is because they play really well at home. now, this is the problem.

the chicago cubs have two big guys going for them in game six, jake arrieta and potentially game seven with kyle hendricks which is the favorite to win the cy young. two cy young winners and need to keep it on the ground in order to win the game. this is the other issue, cleveland doesn't believe that the cubs are going to win. so much so that the cavaliers moved their game next door to 6:00 instead of 7:00 start to see if their fans will then watch the game here or just jump on over with the cavs and get a suite and watch the cleveland indians get the championship. >> look, celebration they're thinking. >> another reason, you predicted they win in six so you need your prediction to come true. >> that's right in what do they have to do to make your prediction come true? >> well, one thing that they'll have to do is get josh tomlin the starter, if he can throw at

least four solid innings you can get the ball to andrew miller. lights out all postseason and been phenomenal with that sweeping slider and guys have been swinging and missing through it. get it to allen. miller did not throw for the last two day, fresh, ready to go and if they score runs it could be all over for the cubs. >> all right, so we know what you feel. becky, what is your call? what is your call? >> i'm rooting for football. >> what? >> sorry. i'm out. i got nothing. >> the biggest thing is i'm rooting for game seven. this has to go to game seven and want the cubs to win game seven on the road just like the cavs won the road. >> give me something. >> we got to break that curse. >> what about you? >> i'm with jon. the cubs have been -- >> i don't know if george will let us go back and sit with him at the desk after this. >> it's a win/win.

>> it is a win/win, seven games just let cleveland win in the seventh. >> there's a compromise. >> regardless we love you. >> we got it settled. thanks to everyone. we appreciate that. coming up that terrifying crocodile attack. a six-foot beast jumping into a pool. how the couple survived. and royal romance has an american actress won prince harry's heart? the new reporting this morning. we asked woman to smell two body washes and pick their favorite. i prefer b. b.

>> and, you know, another -- this is a great film for veterans. >> oh, absolutely. >> this is a story for 1945 but it's still resonating today in 2016. >> it's a love story, not really a war film. it is graphic but i felt that i needed to show that just show everybody what our veterans go through and i think it gives empathy because a lot of people can't understand what these guys are suffering from and particularly today there is a lot of ptsd. a lot of guys dropping the hammer on themselves and it's a serious problem we need to pay more attention to and i hope the film can focus on that but, you know, if it can bring attention to that, that's good. >> i tell you what we're glad you're behind the camera directing this film. >> thanks a lot. >> it is "hacksaw ridge" opening in theaters tomorrow, nationwide, friday.

[ applause ] >> how are you? >> i'm great. [ applause ] >> hello, everybody. >> hey. >> wow. >> we can't wait to hear the stories you're going to tell us about michael. >> first of all -- >> start with good one.

>> i saw mel gibson and wanted to know why i wasted my time shaving here. >> the last four or five months. >> no stories about me. >> mike surveillance a walking story. i'm surprised he's here. on "fox nfl sunday" we have to be on the west coast at 6:00, 6:30, michael is always there at like 6:29:58, you know. then he says he's got bottleneck in traffic on sunday in los angeles. barely made it. >> you don't know where i'm coming from to get there. >> we will find out later but we have to start out how many overindulged last night. a little hair of the dog. [ applause ] i didn't last night. >> this morning was terrible because when you're tired, sometimes you just want to not eat -- well, on my way out of the door, not one, not two, but three reese's peanut butter cups. >> big ones or little ones. >> big ones. >> i feel better having confessed.

>> i got a report from ali. our two girls have sugar hangovers. the question is how to cure it and the president and first lady have some advice. >> happy halloween. >> you don't have to eat healthy today. >> candy. >> you can have candy today. and flotus says so. >> usually she's on people. >> all the time. >> we get a free break. >> a cheat day. >> so, michael -- >> our trainers won't like that. >> how do you get with getting the candy out of your house after halloween. >> i eat it. it's that simple. it's not really that hard. >> of all the traditional what's your favorite? your go-to. mine is reese's. >> that's mine too. i love reese's peanut butter cups. >> i'll take you down. >> we'll find out. >> this kit kat is pretty good. i love sour patch kids. >> ooh. >> i can't do that. >> you and my girls both.

>> sweeties in there. >> today is the big protein, steak, spinach. >> that's how you get through it. >> hydrate. >> the smallest guy up here. big protein guy. sorry. >> george's voice is deep. big protein today. >> you're not coming back. >> that's it. may not make it to sunday. >> the book, the book. can we talk about the book now? >> yeah, you can talk about the book now. >> for those who don't know, you know, let me finish this. curt wrote a book called "losing isn't everything." >> bless your heart for that. >> how to turn failure or -- into triumph. >> what it is is that i went back and in sports especially. and i think we'll see it with the electric as well. people look at the person that won and that person gets all the glory and we all know they get

the interviews and commercials and everything but when you don't get that, how does it affect the rest of your life? i went back and looked at starting with super bowl iii. the coals getting up set by the jets and looked at the '86 world series, michael jordan, dan jansen at the olympics. the super bowl when the patriots had the perfect season, your giants upset them. but we talked to people on losing end to find out how they bounce back from that adversity or attempted to. because i think there's life lessons for all of us. every day won't go perfect. we'll have hathings to overcome. what lessons can we get? >> what are some that you learned in sharing stories. >> i think one of the things pete carroll was really instrumental in doing this and talked about having lost the super bowl two years ago down to the goal line. >> why didn't he make that call? >> people are still asking that question. you no he, because they were on the verge of doing back-to-back. he believed in the process of that's what they were going to

do. he and his team examined right away why they lost that game and took responsibility for it. that's the only way you have to move forward. that's what i learned. i look at his example about trying to rebound immediately and being honest and truthful with yourself as to why it happened and somebody like calvin by recall di and everybody blames big buckner but he blew a one-run lead and two-run lead in the tenth. >> everybody talks about that. >> nobody talks about him yet 30 years later his wife said we're getting a divorce because he put up all these walls to protect himself. he only pitched in the majors four more years and said it was because of the adversity and the way people treated him after that. >> overreaction when you said that. that's so startling to hear something like that. isn't it? >> he retreated and 0 years later his wife said you're not the guy that i met, that i married. he started therapy in 2013 and i juxtapose him not addressing the problems that he had right away

and it affected his life and marriage and pete carroll said let's deal with this. >> great transferable life lessons to any scenario. i did not know that story. that is remarkable. >> you know what, let's go from books to dogs. >> i love this stovry. >> i got two rescue dog, abby, a 5-year-old lab. and toby who's just over a year old and runs the house, a corgi french bulldog. >> did you say toby? >> there's yours. >> oh, yeah. >> we have somebody that we really -- >> that's toby right there. >> get ready to meet our toby. this is a 10-year-old beagle looking for a new home. toby, come on out here. >> toby. >> you can have three. >> put him on the table. >> he's a senior so he's a little set in his ways. >> we wanted you to meet toby. this is one of the many, hundreds of dogs we are working

to find forever homes in this mon and we've gotten some great numbers for you which i cannot wait to share with you but toby's story was really -- he was a bit of a heartbreak story and stole our hearts at our livestream event in philadelphia. the story with toby is he found his home as an adult two years ago with two owners that absolutely loved him and loved saving beagles. sadly the mom owner passed away and then shortly thereafter the dad passed away so toby found himself back in the shelter. he thought he was in his forever home. so happy and i guess the message for us is don't just consider puppies and small dogs. i've adopted a full grown dog. they're already trained and they're so grateful. their demeanors are set and get a real idea of who they are before you bring them home and toby is just one of those many examples. >> he likes you. he's staring at you. >> oh, hi, toby. >> uh-oh. somebody is going home with another dog. >> one of the great things someone told me when you adopt a

dog you'll never know who rescued who because that dog gives you a love that is unbelievable. [ applause ] >> exactly. >> updates here. as of now, we have helped find 705 dogs forever homes. [ applause ] so we've got a lot work to do. there's so many great doggings. thank you, north shore animal league america. they've been helpful and all around the country shelters are participating. doesn't matter if you're a new yorker or east coaster. toby, we love you. we'll help you find your home. >> your forever home. >> you'd like to adopt a dog you have until november 22nd. go to our website and join our mission pawsible. >> i've heard great things about you. >> you too. i know everybody loves you but

i'm your biggest fan, trust me. >> you better say the same thing to -- >> such a big fan. >> i'm never getting back here for sure now. thank you. thank you so much. coming up, "doctor strang strange"'s star benedict cumberbatch. he is here live.

white house. we're taking a look inside the obama family's private residence for the first time ever. thanks to "architectural digest" and the white house and jesse is here with the first look. >> good morning, guys. that's right. the obamas have guarded their privacy so it's fascinating to see how they've decorated their rooms bouncing their interest in modern art with the traditions of past presidential families. it's one of the most recognized buildings in the world, but the living quarters of the actual residence of the white house is mostly out of view. now as the first family prepares to depart "architectural digest" has an exclusive glimpse into their home for the last eight years. >> there's a real fascination with how people with so much stature and power live in their private house and when you look at the history of the decorating in this private spaces, you can see personal touches of each administration and how they want to live. >> reporter: ever since jackie kennedy's 1962 television tour lifted the tour on camelot. >> the room that people see first when they come to the

white house so i think it should be a pretty room. >> reporter: people have been eager for a glimpse for the private quarters of 1600 pennsylvania avenue. and how peach presidential family makes them their own. >> i think the obama family has made their biggest mark on the personal quarters through artwork. it has a slightly more modern contemporary -- maybe a slightly edgier feel. >> reporter: working with designer michael smith michelle obama chose works from contemporary artists like alma thomas, the first african-american female artist to be featured in the white house. >> we know mrs. obama has gone to great efforts with her own wardrobe and the statement that makes and i think the artwork is a piece of that. is a continuation of making a statement of inclusiveness. >> reporter: in some cases they also kept things the same. a mirror, mantel and sideboard from george bush's administration, still in the same spot for the family that followed. a link in the long tradition of very private rooms for a very public family. >> i hope they'll be an

inspiration to the next inhabitants. >> pretty cool stuff, huh? michele and her designer leaned heavily on history reading the letters of previous first ladies and speaking to jackie kennedy's sister lee radziwill. >> no flea marketing there. coming up here though, is there a doctor in the house, "doctor strange," that is, benedict cumberbatch is
