OKAY.
>> WE SELL FOR HIM. EVERYTHING
YOU NEED TO KNOW FROM LOCAL
LEADS IN CELEBRITY INTERVIEWS TO TRENDING
AND GOOD DAY STATELINE.
>> MICHELLE: WELCOME TO GOOD
DAY. STATELINE THURSDAY, JUNE 22ND. WE'RE KICKING THINGS OFF
TONIGHT WI
HARVEY LEVIN FROM TMZ. HARVEY,
HOW ARE YA? GOOD. ARE YOU
DOING GOOD? YOU KNOW, YOU ARE
ALWAYS WORKING ON GIANT OF
PROJECTS. TONIGHT. WE'VE GOT TO TMZ INVESTIGATES THE
MIRACLE CHILDREN OF THE AMAZON. TELL US ABOUT THIS
ONE.
>> WELL, I GOT TO WHEN WE
FOUND OUT A WEEK AGO SATURDAY
THAT THESE KIDS, THESE 4 KIDS
AGES 13, 9, 4.11 MONTHS
SURVIVED A PLANE CRASH THAT
KILLED ALL THE ADULTS ON BOARD
INCLUDING THEIR AND THEN
SURVIVED IN A TREACHEROUS
AMAZON JUNGLE WHERE, YOU KNOW, WORKS AT EVERY TURN FOR 40
DAYS AND 40 NIGHTS. I MEAN, IT
SOUNDS LIKE SOMETHING OUT OF
THE OLD TESTAMENT. BUT IT'S
NOT. AND THAT SEEMED ENOUGH
FOR US TO LAUNCH THIS
DOCUMENTARY AND FLY PEOPLE TO
COLOMBIA. AND SO WE YOU KNOW,
AMAZING VIDEO OF THE RESCUE IN
THE SEARCH. AND WE TALKED ALL
SORTS OF PEOPLE LIKE THE
PARENTS AND THAT FATHER RATHER
AND THE MATERNAL GRANDPARENTS,
POLITICIANS THERE SURVIVALISTS. THE RESCUE TEAM
AND WE FIGURED THAT WOULD BE
THE DOCUMENTARY. THERE IS SO
MUCH MORE TO THE STORY. IT
TURNS OUT, FOR EXAMPLE, DAYS
BEFORE THESE KIDS WERE WERE
RESCUE DAYS BEFORE THE
RESCUERS CAME WITHIN EARSHOT
OF THE KIDS. THE KIDS FROM THE
RESCUERS. THEY AND THEY WERE
HURT. THEY WERE HUNGRY YET
THEY GET. AND THE QUESTION
THEN BECOMES WHY. AND I THINK
WE GOT. SOME GROUND HERE THAT
WHAT HAPPENED WAS YOU HAVE
THESE THIS INSURGENT GROUP IN
THIS AREA THAT WAS TARGETING
THE FATHER OF THESE KIDS AND
POSSIBLY THE FAMILY WANTED TO
KILL THE FATHER AND ACTUALLY
FLED. AND THE REASON THE PLANE
WAS FLYING WITH THE FAMILY AS
THEY WERE FLYING TO THE FATHER
IN A DIFFERENT CITY TO GET
AWAY FROM THE INSURGENTS.
THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO THINK
EITHER EITHER OF THESE KIDS
WERE AFRAID THAT THE RESCUERS
WERE ACTUALLY INSURGENTS WERE
GOING TO KILL THEM OR THAT
THESE KIDS THAT THAT THAT THAT
THE INSURGENTS ACTUALLY GOT TO
THE KIDS AND WE'RE HOLDING
THEM FOR RANSOM OR SOMETHING
LIKE THAT. AND THE REASON
THAT'S REALLY INTERESTING IS
THE PRESIDENT OF COLOMBIA. 2 WEEKS BEFORE THE KIDS WERE
FOUND ANNOUNCED THEY WERE
FOUND HE WAS WRONG AND HE TOOK IT BACK THE NEXT DAY. AND A
LOT OF PEOPLE THINK HE WAS
NEGOTIATING WITH THE
INSURGENTS AND IT FELL APART.
AND THE REASON THAT'S
PARTICULARLY INTERESTING IS
THAT DAY THEY WERE FOUND JUNE
9TH A WEEK AGO SATURDAY, THAT
DAY THE PRESIDENT SIGNED A
PEACE ACCORD WITH THOSE INSURGENTS.
>> MICHELLE: WELL, JUST LISTEN
IN TO TALK ABOUT THAT FOR A
COUPLE MINUTES. SO MAKES ME
WANT TO HEAR MORE. OBVIOUSLY
IT'S A GOOD THING. YOU'VE GOT
AN ENTIRE DIVING INTO TONIGHT.
IT'S INCREDIBLE TO ME THAT
YOU'RE ABLE TO CREATE ALL OF
THIS IN JUST A SHORT AMOUNT OF
TIME. A LOT OF THE TIME.
SOMETIMES YOU'RE INVESTIGATING
THINGS THAT HAPPENED IN THE
PAST AND KIND OF BRING US
BACK. THIS IS LIKE BASICALLY YESTERDAY.
>> WELL, I GOT TO TELL YOU, MY STAFF DID AN AMAZING JOB
BECAUSE IT IS 9 DAYS AND THAT
THEY DID AN INCREDIBLE JOB
THAT I'VE COVERED. MANY, MANY
STORIES OVER MANY, MANY
DECADES. AND THIS IS ONE OF
THE MOST INCREDIBLE. AND BOY,
WE GET INTO OTHER STUFF, TOO.
AS TELL YOU. ONE OTHER QUICK
THAT, YOU KNOW, EVERYBODY
THINKS NOW THAT THE KIDS ARE
ARE SAFE, THEY'RE BIG NATIONAL
CELEBRITIES, WHICH THEY ARE.
AND THERE ARE OPPORTUNITIES
THERE. BUT THERE'S SOMETHING
KIND OF AN UNINTENDED
CONSEQUENCE IN COLOMBIA.
RANSOM IS CURRENCY. AND THESE
KIDS NOW HAVE A TARGET ON
THEIR HEAD BECAUSE THEY'RE
WORTH A LOT. SO THE
GOVERNMENT'S TRYING TO FIGURE
OUT WHERE SHOULD THEY LIVE WHO
SHOULD TAKE CARE OF THEM. SO
THERE ALL SORTS OF THINGS
GOING ON WITH THIS CASE.
>> MICHELLE: WE ARE DEFINITELY
GOING TO TUNE IN TONIGHT. TMZ
