Transcripts For KGO Good Morning America 20171025

How this man flew 15 miles, 8,000 feet in the air with just a lawn chair and these balloons. Put your arms around me baby and we do say good morning, america. We say, say what say what. That stunt. Inspired by the movie up. As we said earlier, but i dont know if thats creative, or just flatout insane. Maybe a little of both. First new developments overnight in washington. The senate was up late. Vice president pence cast the deciding vote to repeal a rule that makes it easier for consumers to sue banks or credit card companies. And the shock waves still being felt after two republican senators blasted President Trump. Senator flake will join us in a moment. He said yesterday enough is enough. He called the president reckless and tennessee senator bob corker accused the president of debasing the presidency. Mary bruce, all the reaction coming in on capitol hill. Good morning, mary. Reporter good morning, robin. We are witnessing an astounding public indictment of the integrity of a sitting president for members of his own party. Senator jeff flake yesterday said he cannot be complicit to the president s outrage, which is reckless, outrageous and undigni undignified. This morning on capitol hill. A widening war within the Republican Party. We must stop pretending that the degradation of our politics and the conduct of some in our executive branch are normal. They are not normal. Reporter on tuesday arizona senator jeff flake announced he will not run for reelection declaring he cannot work with the leader he finds dangerous to democracy. I rise today to say, enough. Reporter flake a longtime critic of President Trump said his decision was a matter of duty and conscience. We have fooled ourselves for long enough that a pivot to governing is right around the corner. A return to civility and stability right behind it. We know better than that. Reporter but this morning some of the president s allies are celebrating flakes departure. Sources close to steve bannon who has declared war on trumps opponents say his reaction crushed him. Another day, another scalp. But flake is not alone. Senator bob corker, another Top Republican not seeking reelection, is also unloading on the president. I think that the worst of it is going to be just the whole debasing, if you will, of our nation. You think the president is debasing the nation . I dont think theres any question. Reporter it all comes as the president is trying to unite the party around tax reform. Mr. President , any comment on senator corker . Reporter but the infighting is overshadowing his agenda. Does any of this make the president pause and wonder if he is doing anything wrong . If he bears any responsibility . I think that they were not likely to be reelected, and i think that shows the support is more behind this president than it is those two individuals. Reporter but republican leader Mitch Mcconnell says he regrets flakes decision praising him as a fine man who has brought high principles to this senate, and mcconnells job may be getting more difficult. Senate republicans have a twovote majority and have you two Top Republicans with little to lose and little incentive to fall in line behind the president. George . Thank you, mary. Now lets bring in the senator himself. Jeff flake joins us from the capitol this morning. Thanks for joining us. Boy, youve heard the white house. Sarah sanders calls your speech petty. Steve bannon, an ally of the president , another day, another scalp and the ap is privately reporting that you are taking credit for forcing you and corker out of the senate. Have you been given victory from retiring . I dont know if you can put it like that. I couldnt run the campaign that i wanted to run and win in this kind of Republican Party. So i guess the president does deserve credit if you want to call it that. So what happens next . You say its time for our complicity and accommodation of the unacceptable to end. Right. Bob corker aside, are your republican colleagues now in the senate being complicit by staying silent . No, a lot of my colleagues have spoken out, and i think a lot more will. What i tried to say in the speech is the longer we wait, the more we basically normalize this kind of behavior and these kind of politics and we cant do that. We just cant. Weve gone nine months into the administration. Those of us who had hoped for a pivot, i think, agree now its just not going to come, and so its up to us so stand up and say, this is not acceptable. Are words enough, though, senator . What should you and your colleagues be doing . Well, certainly if the president proposes policies, if he acts on some of the threats hes made, for example, to go after the press, to go after the licenses of some of the networks that have been critical, then certainly we act. So on policy if we must, but certainly just to speak oil out against the tweeting and the behavior that just isnt becoming, and is beneath the office of the president. It seems like as you say a lot of your colleagues may agree with you privately. Some are speaking out as well but there also seems to be a pretty prevalent view that the party just has to stick together to get tax cuts, and i guess my question is, is that prize worth the price . Well, i talk in the book i wrote earlier about the bargain that we seem to have struck on many of these issues, and i think there is a riske if we continue to just ignore behavior that we shouldnt ignore, and when the president is challenging norms that have been with us for a long time, particularly in the international realm, these have longlasting imply indications that we simply shouldnt ignore. And on that tax bill like senator corker, will you oppose it if it increases the deficit . Is that one of your principles, one of the dictates of your conscience . Im certainly a supply citer. I believe tax cuts produce Economic Growth so you might have some shortterm deficits but im not unqualified to supply citer, and i am extremely concerned about our looming debt and our deficit and so were going to have to look at the package and see what it does. Finally how about the future of your fight against President Trump. Where does it go next . Are you open to challenging him in 2020 . Thats a long way away. Im focused on my next 14 months in the senate, making sure that we get some good policy, there are some things that i want to accomplish in the short term, certainly myself and senator tim kaine are pushing an authorization for use of military force. Theres the daca issue that we need to do, and broader immigration policy. So im going to focus on those things. But not ruling out a challenge in 2020. You know, thats a long time away. And well deal with that when it comes to it. Senator flake, thanks for your time this morning. Thank you. Its not that long away. No. Yeah. Around about. Thats it. Jon karl, this republican revolt. Will others follow . Well, this is a revolt right now. Its a revolt from some of the most respected names in the party. You know, jeff flake, corker, a committee chairman, the former president s even, john mccain. But it is not a stampede. I have spoken to many of these republican senators who i know essentially agree with almost everything that jeff flake said, but they are not saying it publicly. And they arent saying it publicly, robin, because they believe two thing, one going against donald trump could hurt them politically, could destroy them, flake was not going to win that republican primary in arizona and they also believe that he is the one who can sign their agenda. When Mitch Mcconnell came before the senate lunch yesterday, corker in the room, the president in the room. First thing he said, its because of donald trump we have neil gorsuch on the supreme court. The message is you may not like whats going on personally but its getting our agenda. They need President Trump, and its still his party. It still is absolutely his party, but i got to tell you, george, a Republican Party that has no room for a jeff Police Station or bob corker or john mccain doesnt seem like a Republican Party that can remain a Majority Party for long. We learned yesterday that the dnc actually paid for some of that research that went into that dossier thats become so infamous after some republicans paid to fund it during the primaries against trump. We learned through an intermediary the Clinton Campaign paid for the research that became the dossier and the democratic party. What we dont know is who the republican was and to me thats one of the great mysteries. It started with a republican foe of donald trump. We dont know who yet. Have no idea. Have no idea. We can guess. We have no idea. All right. Well turn now to that deadly shoot that is breaking. A deadly shooting on a College Campus in louisiana at grambling state university. The shooter on the run this morning and our senior justice correspondent Pierre Thomas has the latest details. Good morning, pierre. Reporter robin, good morning. Tragedy has come to gramabling university this morning with a horrific shooting. Two people gunned down on a courtyard on campus. It came after a fight in a dorm that spilled outside. One of the victims a student. The other a students friend. Both only 23 years old. The shooter has not been identified and has fled the scene. Police do not believe the suspect is a student at the school. Authorities advised students to stay inside, robin, and to remain vigilant. Absolutely, pierre, thank you. We have new details on that ambush that left four american soldiers dead in niger. Officials say the special forces unit was gathering intelligence on a top terror target, may have been set up in a sneak attack.

Facing possible life in prison for throwing large rocks from an overpass and killing a 32yearold father below. Abcs alex perez is in michigan with that story. Good morning, alex. Reporter good morning, robin. Authorities still working to figure out what the motivation here was. Authorities say they were playing a game called dinging, grabbing rocks, tossing them from right here on this overpass, right there onto the highway there. The socalled game quickly turned deadly, and now all of these teens are facing the possibility of life behind bars. An emotional moment in court as five shackled teens all between 15 and 17 years old sat silently. Their devastated families looking on. The boys pleading not guilty to Second Degree murder. Something came through the windshield and hit a friend. Hes now unconscious. Reporter Authorities Say the group was throwing stones off this overpass on interstate 75 as part of a game called dinging, trying to strike the metal on the cars passing below. One of those stones weighing 6 pounds crashed through a windshield killing father of four Kenneth White on his way home from work. The rock struck white in the head then the chest. His fiancee left shaken and angry. I just hope they realize their actions and how many lives they have torn apart. Reporter prosecutors say the teens threw a total of 20 stones striking several other cars as well. It was not a prank. It was a deadly affair and a deadly set of circumstances that resulted in a mans death. Reporter according to officials, 17yearold kyle anger tossed the fatal rock. The teens hiring separate attorneys. Frank manly is representing 16yearold mark sekelsky. He is a teenager one day thinking about girlfriends and, like i said, prom. His world is turned upside down. Reporter similar attacks carried out by teenagers before in 2014, this ohio schoolteacher struck by an eightpound boulder while in the passenger seat. Some experts believe Brain Development may play a role in teenage recklessness. Thats why adolescents by and large are more impulsive. More likely to do things without thinking through their consequences than are anyone else. Reporter this morning a community grappling with a splitsecond decision that destroyed so many lives. Hes asking about his daddy. And i keep telling him hes not coming back. Its been so hard. Reporter and the teens are being held without bail. Theyre due back in court november 2nd. Robin. All right, alex. Thank you. Well bring in our chief analyst dan abrams. Horrific crime. Horrific. Second degree murder, is that the right charge . As a technical legal matter there is absolutely an argument for Second Degree murder here and that is it was intentional act there was reckless disregard for human life. And under the law of michigan, they are old enough to be considered adults. The question is going to have to be to evaluate each one of them individually, and look at what were his actions. Meaning right now were saying five kids have been charged with Second Degree murder. Thats true. But it may not be that each one of them is actually responsible in the same way. And i think part of this is going to be that the prosecutors here are going to want to pick and choose the least culpable ones, potentially get them to testify against the most culpable one or ones and then you reduce the charges by a lot for the teens that were less culpable and you go after the one or the two because we know apparently according to the authorities which person threw the rock that led to the death. You know, we keep saying rock. Were talking about a six pound almost like a boulder. It was more so than a pebble or rock. Four of the boys are 15. One is 17 and everyone keeps coming back to their ages and thinking that that should be justification for some sort of leniency. And it might be, particularly in sentencing. So lets assume for a moment that someone is convicted of Second Degree murder. Take the 17yearold off the table for a moment. One of the younger ones. Lets say one of the younger ones was convicted of a Second Degree its possible it would lead to some leniency. They are facing up to life in prison as a possible sentence here, talk tabout lean yeniency. Thats not a lot of leniency, and the more important question is what were the actions. One of them went to the police, by the way, to turn himself in. Thats going to help that person. A likely candidate potentially for the one who they may want to try to turn. Well stay on this. Thanks so much, dan. George. Thank you. Now to new developments in the Harvey Weinstein scandal. Another actress has come forward accusing him of Sexual Assault and suing the company. Abcs diane macedo here with the story. Good morning, diane. Good morning george.

Mimi haleyi is the last one to come forward claiming she was sexually assaulted by weinstein. I told him no, no, no. But he insisted. Reporter she alleged in 2006 she tried to fight the mogul off but forced her to submit to a sexual act. I would not have wanted anyone to do that to me even if the person had been a romantic partner. I remember harvey afterwards rolling on to his back saying, dont you feel were so much closer to each other now . To which i replied, no.

With hollywood reeling from the weinstein allegations, this morning a hollywood superstar is speaking out about her ugly experiences with director james toback.

I dont know about the fine but i have to say i do think its a dangerous activity. You got to Pay Attention to what youre doing especially when youre at an intersection and all these cars are coming through. I think its really smart but i think its going to be tough on people. Reporter all right. We actually see a woman crossing the street right now. Can you see that . Shes crossing the street, got two phones in her hands. She doesnt know shes on live tv right now. We see people do this. Often theyre not necessarily texting. Sometimes theyre reading articles. They are even watching youtube vide videos, and most of the time, they are looking at their google map trying to get directions to places and thats whats so distracting oftentimes so its just that distracting and a split second we have all done this actually just saw a guy a security guy still on his phone right now. Almost got hit by a woman on a bike. Wasnt paying attention in the bike lane so a lot of dangers. Its not just fun about a guy running into a wall. Got that right, and this law is in honolulu. Youre in honolulu. Its beautiful. Put down your phone. Look around. Look around. It is true. All day long here in new york. Yeah. I mean, and it can be pretty dangerous. It can be dangerous.

So why not give it the protection it deserves. State farm. Afi sure had a lot on my mind. My 30year marriage. My 3month old business. Plus. What if this happened again . I was given warfarin in the hospital, but wondered, was this the best treatment for me . So i made a point to talk to my doctor. He told me about eliquis. Eliquis treats dvt and pe blood clots and reduces the risk of them happening again. Not only does eliquis treat dvt and pe blood clots. Eliquis also had significantly less major bleeding than the standard treatment. Eliquis had both. And that turned around my thinking. Dont stop eliquis unless your doctor tells you to. Eliquis can cause serious and in rare cases fatal bleeding. Dont take eliquis if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. If you had a spinal injection while on eliquis call your doctor right away if you have tingling, numbness, or muscle weakness. While taking eliquis, you may bruise more easily. And it may take longer than usual for bleeding to stop. Seek immediate medical care for sudden signs of bleeding, like unusual bruising. Eliquis may increase your bleeding risk if you take certain medicines. Tell your doctor about all planned medical or dental procedures. Eliquis treats dvt and pe blood clots. Plus had less major bleeding. Both made eliquis right for me. Ask your doctor if switching to eliquis is right for you. Her hairs a hot mess. Her eyes are like. Oh, im late for work. I have to go.

We are seeing a widening civil war within the Republican Party this morning. Senator jeff flake yesterday announced he will not seek reelection saying he cannot work with the president who he says is dangerous for democracy. The president this morning is up and tweeting saying the reason flake and corker dropped out of the senate race is very simple. They had zero chance of being elected. They now act so hurt and wounded. Now, some of the president s top allies are celebrating flakes departure and earlier on he was asked if hes handing them a victory. I dont know if you could put it like that. I just cant continue with this kind of politics. I couldnt run the kind after campaign i wanted to run and win in this kind of Republican Party. So i guess the president deserves credit if you want to call it that. Reporter flake now joins senators corker and mccain in taking on the president and flake says he thinks more of his colleagues will be coming forward. George. Mary bruce, thanks very much. Well see if that happens. Now to the manhunt for a serial killer in tampa. The community on edge, especially with halloween just around the corner. Abcs Victor Oquendo is there in tampa with the story. Good morning again, victor. Reporter good morning, robin. We are driving through the Seminole Heights neighborhood here in tampa where two of the victims were gunned down right along this street. Their memorials just a couple of hundreds yards apart. We do have security with us for added protection. This neighborhood right now is absolutely afraid with this possible serial killer out on the loose police desperately trying to find this killer. All they have to go on is this grainy Surveillance Video of the night of the first murder. Three People Killed in a tenday period and no sign of this killer anywhere. Some people here tell us they are too afraid to leave their hopes at all. At a nearby school all of their Outdoor Activities like p. E. And recess moved indoors and with halloween right around the corner were told the plans are in place. There will be a huge Police Presence. The mayor and chief want to make sure everybody here in this community is safe. Robin. Yeah, want everybody to stay safe including you, okay, victor, thank you. Now we go to a Big Development in the fight against the opioid walgreens, the second largest pharmacy chain in the u. S. Is stocking up with the antidote narcan in all of its 8,000 stores and dr. Jennifer ashton is here to answer a few questions. In 45 states the lifesaving drug is available without a prescription. Right. Is there any danger in that . Risk benefit on this, michael, this is an incredibly safe and effective medication using it in the hospital for decades. Usually with needle, intravenous or muscle. This is nasal form and works as an immediate antidote to counteract the respiratory problems. When you talk about risk benefit, the risk is people could say, will this give other people a false sense of security and have them use opioids more if they know they can use this immediate antidote . The benefits, this drug saves lives. So think of this maybe as defibrillator, epi pen, another piece of lifesaving medical equipment that will probably be widespre wide spread now. In a statement walgreens says loved ones should have it on hand just in case. What does this is a about the Opioid Crisis . It says were in critical and unstable condition when youre talking about the Opioid Crisis in this country and we have to tackle this at the prescriber level, at the dispensing level and at the user level and thats what this is. Doc, thank you. Wow. Wow is right. You know, now we turn to a member of our gma family, they were honored at the statue of Liberty Ellis Island Foundation and we are talking about the one and only robin roberts, everybody. Yes.

Yeah, first of all, it was wonderful, Kareem Abduljabbar and the tisch family and david muir was the emcee and did a wonderful job and when youre at ellis island and i could not help but think about my mother and father who just embodied the American Dream and my momma would say you look around and you realize that we all have traveled here. We have all come to america in different ways, but the bottom line is that were all here and we all have more in common than not. So why not celebrate, embrace those many things that we have in common, faith, family and friends instead of focusing on our few differences, lets celebrate those things that we have in common. So it was a great day. Im going to tell you what, you realize Kareem Abduljabbar is really tall. I know. It was true. Posing in that picture. Do you have on hes . Have on h.

Morgan investment expertise can help you. Chase. Make more of whats yours. [ applause ] welcome back. Great audience as always that we have up here with us. Glad to see everybody. Thank you for being here and thanks for a little pop news. [ cheers and applause ] good morning, everybody. I dont know about you guys but in my house as a kid, friday nights were spent watching benson. Oh, yes. Oh, yeah. So this morning we want to remember the emmywinning actor behind the memorable role Robert Guillaume died from prostate cancer. He played the first africanamerican in phantom of the opera and voiced rafiki in the lion king. Hes the animal that shows an important cub to all the animals. Very important scene there but will forever be remembered as the wisecracking butler on soap and then benson which ran from 1979 to 1986. Formative years in all of your years. Robert guillaume was 89 years old. Rest in peace. Didnt you love that show . I loved that show. Such a special guy. Always in pop news this morning, a hefty price tag for a famous note written by albert einstein. His theory of happiness was written in 1922 and given to a hotel bellboy, einstein giving the piece of paper to him because he didnt have any cash for a tip. The theory goes a calm and modest life brings more happiness than the pursuit of success combined with constant restlessness. Amen to that. Amen. Thats true. He apologetically told the bellboy, well it may be worth more than a regular tip someday and as usual, einstein was right. Bidding started at 2,000 and quickly got to 1. 3 million thats a good tip. And that gave the mystery seller a lot of happiness. Einstein was right but how could the bellboy know that at the time. Hes going, hmm. He kept it. He knew. Listen to einstein. That is a good tip. That is a good tip. And really smart words too. Look it up. Its just a really nice way to think. Finally though, the next time you want to learn a new language, a new study says i fully agree you may want to do it with a cocktail. Researchers [ applause ] yeah. I mean do everything with a cocktail. It just makes perfect sense. Researchers did language fluency test on new learners giving one group water and another group alcoholic beverages and then they had them carry on a casual twominute conversation in a Foreign Language. Turns out the alcohol induced group scored much better when it came to pronounciation. I mean oui, oui. Researchers stress, though, it may not come as a surprise either that too much booze does have the opposite effect. Really . [ laughter ] you mean scientific proof for that. Correct. The einstein of booze is here. [ applause ] thank you, lara. We got to move on to an exclusive first look at amazons new tool that will deliver packages inside your front door even when youre not home. Chief Business Correspondent Rebecca Jarvis whoa. Getting a reaction already, rebecca. All right. Well, take a listen to this, gorge. Good morning to all of you guys. So this is from the company that wants to know you even better than you know yourself starting november 8th and 37 cities amazon prime members have the option to use this free service which allows the driver to leave a package inside your home even when youre not there. Its the company known for revolutionizing delivery but tech titan amazon is taking things a few steps farther literally. Delivering those packages not just to your doorstep but inside your home. Its called amazon key. Heres how it works. The driver arrives and scans your package which automatically sends an alert to your phone and a signal to the amazon cloud that unlocks the smart lock on your front door. At the same time a Security Camera mounted in your home begins rolling so you have a record of the whole thing. So that i can return home to my package in my front entry which ive been following along on my phone which has been recording from that camera. Why is amazon doing this . Well, we heard from customers, a lot of customers would love having their packages delivered in their home even when theyre not there. The free service is available for prime members beginning november 8th in 37 cities around the country with 85 million prime members in the u. S. Spending an average of 1,300 a year thats a lot of hopes. As im sure you can imagine some people are going to be skeptical about the idea of a stranger going into their home. Amazon is really focused on safety and security. All of these drivers are the same drivers that you know and trust to deliver your amazon packages today. Theyre background checked and approved to deliver for amazon. If the cloud is the thing that keeps me from having someone come into my home or not with the smart lock like this, what happens if the cloud gets hacked . Well, you know, i can tell you that privacy and security is the most important thing that were working on at amazon so all of the devices are encrypted. Reporter the service is optional and could be one way to stop package theft. 23 million americans say theyve had deliveries stolen from their doorstep. When i spoke with amazon executives about this they said this is not an experiment but something that will be fundamental to the way they shop in the future and have things delivered to their homes. Reporter through the amazon key app customers can watch the delivery in realtime. Then you see your delivery happening live. You see the lock is unlocked. She slips the package in the door. She shuts the door and a second later youll see this icon move to locked and she can go on with her day. Lot of interest in this one. While the inhome service is free, the lock and camera will cost you. Amazon is selling those together in a bundle for 250. As we previously reported, walmart is testing out a Similar Service in San Francisco right now. Its a pilot program. I got to tell you it doesnt happen all the time here but your piece completely changed my mind. I came in thinking there is is way i would do it. You still wouldnt do it. I see that right there. Security checks, cameras. They built in a lot of failsafes. They have and the way it work, george, you go on to the site as an amazon prime customer. You order just as you normally would. You opt in so. This is voluntary. You dont have to do it. You opt in with the inhome service and the delivery person arrives at your home. Outside of your door. They scan that package. Once theyve scanned the package it sends a signal both to your phone, which activates a notification on your phone and says the delivery will take place and also sends a signal to your front door to unlock the front door. Then they can drop that delivery inside of your front door and the whole thing, you can watch, on your phone on the camera. Yeah, okay, all that. Right. But you also asked him about the cloud. Of course. And being hacked and he didnt really answer the possibility. Well, and this is the biggest question. Security and i did talk to him about this even beyond what you saw in the conversation because the cloud, of course, we know about the cloud. Weve heard things about the cloud before that arent always good. In amazons case they say that this is not only encrypted information, all of the information itself is encrypted the devices, the camera, the lock on your door, everything is encrypted. So they feel very confident that this is a secure service that not only is secure from the delivery standpoint but also from the technology. For people who dont understand encrypted explain it. It is the highest level of security that you can have in terms of technology today. It is the thing that basically locks off anybody else from looking at the information except for the parties who are actually inputting that information. For example, if it was my phone im the one who can see my phone but its encrypted to anyone else outside. What i keep wondering, would you do it . Im curious to see how it works. What i think is really fascinating here we are in this world we now use uber. We use airbnb. We trust strangers constantly in ways we might not have always done. I think itll be interesting also to see is there an age difference here. Are you going to see perhaps younger consumers who are more inclined tors this using it and some of the people who are not so accustomed to it thats what we were talking about earlier. I think its inclined for the younger customer. But they have been doing the same thing since the pony express, thats how weve been getting our mail so why [ applause ] why does amazon, why now are they trying to shake things up . I think the bottom line here and this is why i think youre seeing walmart do the same thing. Any impediment to you using your service, if your impediment is youre not home so you cant get their package they want to fix that and take every pain point out of the transaction so that they can literally control all of it and you want to shop with them all the time. Already 43 of retail is happening on Amazon Online right now. Round of applause, who would do this ask round of applause, who would do it . [ applause ] okay. Its interesting. Okay, wait a minute. And now round of applause who would not do this . [ applause ] and your piece was effective because i saw some people who said no earlier who are now clapping that they would do it. And george is one of them. Lets go to ginger. Thanks, rebecca. It is time now for your gma moment. Right here on our new samsung tv.

Just grab a pumpkin, people. Make sure its yours. Not your neighbors. Make sure its fresh so that is hard. Otherwise youll smoosh that thing together. What are some of the exercises we can do with the pumpkin . The first one well do is called the pushup. Put your hands down on the pumpkin and step your feet back.
