bias. for "good morning america," kayna whitworth, abc news, los angeles. >> our thanks to kayna, wyclef is here with us. >> thank you. >> thank you for sharing your story. tell us what happened. >> first of all i just want thank everybody, you know, all of the kids out there and for me this is bigger than a black and white issue, so let's start off by the sheriff's report. what this sheriff report says there is a car which is tailored 200 paper license plate. so, that's what the suspect -- that's what the people saw. my car was stopped and it had no paper plate license plate. that's the first one. after i got out the car, automatically the minute i got - backpack on, g from the r studio. i'm automatically when i'mhed guns are drawn which is the part that you don't see. after the guns are drawn i'm pulled over. the minute this happens, i say,
7:34 am
you know, i'm going to sue the lapd because i don't know what's going on. i'm in shock and awe. i'm not even -- no one says thi is the sheriff' and fully understand that and goes a step further. my name is wyclef jean then i'm taken and put in handcuffs in the back and i'm explaining. they said do you have an i.d. i said my hotel is right here basically you stopped me in front of my hotel. i can go in. absolutely nothing, no form of conversation. >> no communication with you and why you were being stopped. >> no communication, i understand still because i have family in law enforcement so i'm still with you. so, so then i'm taking inside of the police car so now i'm detained in the back of the car with handcuffs 100%. now, the video that you saw, i told people basically start rolling and at the same time there was other people rolling. the point to make and the racial profile point is
7:35 am
that basically i feel that i was targeted a black man. it's clear and it was obvious because when i was getting out of the car and the way that the cops rushed me, the conversation that i was having with them, it was a silent a deaf conversation so as a citizen,el if i'm telling you my name and who i am, it only takes a second with the technology that to basically press a button and google and say, you know this, is wyclef jean. so, i stepped up in the sense of at the end of the day i have family on both sides of the lens, but i got a chance to see what happens with a citizen versus a police firsthand and i have to tell you i was scared for my life to the point where i could have acted different and if i acted different, something else would have >> we have seen that in the past and i know you were saying about the license plate, but the car
7:36 am
itself was similar t what they were lookingfor. >> yes. >> two passengengs were similar. did you do anything? do you do your actions in any way cause for the police for concern to think you could possibly be that that suspect? did you go -- they told you not to goo the trunk. did you do that. >> it would be impossible to te to go to the trunk. but once again, shows you like the judicial power of vers. so basically i'm alive to tl and my story is not citizen versus police or police versus a citizen. it's the idea of citi so in order for citizens to trust the police, yes, we must apply judicial which isg the law we fair for the citizen so if i'm telling you my name and i'm
7:37 am
saying to you am not that person, once you put me in cuffs what do you think happens when my daughter sees me cuffs and i tell her when the police stop you, ts is how you have to act. you have to be civil. you cannot curse and she sees her dad doing all of this on television and at the -- >> you were civil the whole time. >> that's right. i was civil the whole time. you sea me. i was very civil in the conversation. >> let me -- we have a legal analyst, dan abrams and i want to bring him in and ask a question. dan, the police, they say they were just following due process. >> yeah, i mean, look, the facts become critical here but let's be clear on wyclef has every right to be upset. every right to be outraged. he was pulled over wrongly for something that had nothing to do with him. but now let's evaluate it through the police prism, right. you have a gold car that they're looking for. an older gold car with a female driver and a passenger, male,
7:38 am
wearing some sort of bandanna, the actual suspects four blocks away. does that mean that they got it right? no. but do improper? also no. i think one of the critical ctors and i'd like to know w pu over in those six minutes, did they tell him whatre investigating? because i think that's crucial in terms of police procedure. >> you heard did they tell youy >> what did they say. >> the number one thing is when i was pulled over, and when i got out the i was not told why, so if i'm not told why and guns are drawn on me, how am i supposed to react? that's one. when i'm handcuffed now i tell the offiname, absolutely no reactions. then i'm put inside of the car, not until i'm put inside of the car and i'm in cuf minutes i'm told, okay, there an
7:39 am
investigation and -- >> that's when they told you. >> can you imagine likd have ha six minutes if you roll up on me of the day i do what' goingn believe in law enforcement doing their jobs. this is not a conversation about wyclef versus the police at all but it's a conversation about c was the police doing their job, yes, the police was doing the they did do right isidea of me l system as >> yeah, and you answered question and, dan, also y realize tre broader ise he. >> yep,question. this is part of a broer discussion that needs to continue to be had in this country. but i think that as we have that discussion, let's talk about the lines, right? let's not just say because
7:40 am
someone is pulled over and it was a mistake as it turns out therefore police did wrong or did bad. let's talk about exactly what happened. let's talk about the procedures exactly as we are having right now which is exactly, for example, the police are saying that there were certain actions that he took that made them uncomfortable. police do put people in cuffs sometimes very much temporarily as they try and sort something out. that's not necessarily bad procedure. that's not necessarily wrong. and furthermore, i'd say imagine someone being pulled over and saying i'm wyclef jean, that could be considered a joke by to confirm dan's point, definitely i verified that who i want danhe other point o to understand is at the end of the day, i'm not saying that the police were wrong. the part of the the

long conversation that we have to have, how do we establish real relationships withce a so f is alive so as a person is alive i got out of the car, dan and i'm telling you i did nothing wrong, i kept my backpacks, my hands were down. i never went in the trunk so whoever tampered with that information and said wyclef was in the trunk, i mean this is l.a. there's cameras so the sheriff's department have to also be very careful about the information they're saying. >> there is going to be a formal investigation. thank you for having this very important discussion. >> thank you. >> we'll be right back. ition] uh-- wh woof! eeh-- woof! wuh-- [silence] [engin[dog howls]

>> there's no way i'd listen to the make. >> i hate snakes. >> if i ate it and you ate it and god said dan, you sho have eaten that apple what would you say. >> i'd take the fall. >> reporter: writing their own stories side by side just like adam and eve. for "good morning america," david wright, abc news, new york. >> and now i'm here with best-selling author of the first love story bruce feilor. hey, bruce. >> nice to see you. >> very interesting. listening to those cups and adam and eve and why did you write this book and why did you think it needed to be told. >> it begins at my kitchen table of i have a working wife as you do. add less sent twin daughters and talk a lot about the changing way men and women are relating to each other and, you know, it's always about the new and the science and technology but is there nothing from the past and we were in the sistine chapel a few years ago looking up at adam and eve and thou my the heart of every conversation

of men and women for 3,000 years. it must have lessons and got to go on the greatest garden of ever, the footsteps of the bible in jerusalem to rome, to hollywood and figure out what can they teach us today? their lesson is unbelievably powerful. >> you went around the world for this. what is the most important thing you discovered? >> i think first of all it's the love story. it is a success. they come together. they separate. she wants independence. they get kicked ow. she comes back to adam. they stay together. they have children, it's a little challenging, they come back together and have more and so i think that this is a success story but here's what everybody in this will know is that eve has been dumped on. eve is victim of the greatest character assassination the world has ever known and for women especially who were struggling to have balance in their relationships it matters that this story be a success because it's the example that all of us are resting on. >> and this story, you say, has a lot of great advice for modern couples so we did a little
8:45 am
survey and asked modern couples, is talking to each other, communication a real challenge? and we had a little survey. here's what they said. 67% said yes and 33% said no and what can adam and eve teach us and modern day about communication? >> so here's what i learned. i went to write a book about adam and eve and ended up writing one about love and relationships. love is a story we tell with another person of you've got your story. i've got my story.ry we tell together. they are the first why and it's an example that there are good and bad types when. hit a bump in the road you add a new chapter so when you're in a relationship, basically you're constantly revising your own love story. see it that way it helps you get you the good and bad types. >> we have couples with relationship questions in our audience. dana and john, you've been married for 28 years and what is your question? >> yeah, hi, bruce. i was wondering how couples in a
8:46 am
relationship can forgive, build trust and move on. >> the number one thing we know resilience is incredibly important to relationships. adam and eve show that a lot. here's the thing about forgiveness. what the research shows is that you do it for yourself actually not for your partner, okay, because the hollywood version you make a choice about love and it's happily ever after but those of us in long-term relationships know you don't make it once you make the choice almost every day over and over again. so if you see it as an ongoing series of decisions, it will help you keep focused on the fact that we are called to a successful relationship. it's what actually we are asked to do in the bible because god wants us to succeed and to be happy. >> and great answer. great suggestion there. one more question from chuck and sue. been married 40 year, two kids. what is your question? >> well, adam and eve went through a lot of adversity in their relationship. as do modern couples.n modern c survive -- how do marriages survive through adversity? >> i think that it has a lot to
8:47 am
do with balance ultimately. is that one person cannot take the lead in every occasionment you sort of find the strengths that you have and you balance it and you keep forward because, you know, positive psychology told us happiness is other people. the first thing god says in the bible, loneline, okay, god does not want us to be alone. we're called to be together. what i'm saying here in general with the first love story, michael and to a you want to strengthen and deepen your relationship, right, this moment when we're pulling, if you want to come together and appreciate the role of love and family, come on this great adam and eve road trip with me and i think you'll be learn something but in the end i think you'll be uplifted their story is a s reminhat story is success, the role models that we need today. [ applause ] >> and it's something for everyone of all ages to learn about love and relationships as well. >> we all can tell it to our daughters, you and i. >> don't date boys, that's what
