Transcripts For KGO Good Morning America 20151113

And in plain sight, right before the eyes of a gas station clerk, a kidnapping in progress. How he knew she was in trouble and what the hero did to save her. The incredible rescue caught on camera. And good morning, america. We have big news overnight in the fight against isis. The chief executioner, jihadi john, targeted by a drone in syria. You see it right there. That is an isis stronghold. He is believed to be dead. The u. S. Had been hunting him for months, but one of the most wanted men on earth who terrorized the world with those brutal terror tapes executing those three americans and publicly calling for war against the united states. He also taunted president obama personally in those tapes. Our full team is on the story this morning starting off with abcs brian ross. Good morning, brian. Reporter good morning, george. He became the face of evil and the u. S. Had been tracking jihadi john, a british citizen for months. U. S. Officials say the drone strike was launched late thursday, just before midnight in syria, as he left a building in raqqah and entered a vehicle. Military and intelligence officials watched live a video feedback in washington and one official told abc news it was a 100 flawless direct hit. This morning, praise for the u. S. Effort from leaders around the world. Ive always said that we would do whatever was necessary, whatever it took to track down emwazi. Today i want to thank the united states. Reporter the world first came to know jihadi john a little more an a year ago, when he appeared wearing a black mask, holding a knife, and threatening the life of american journalist james foley. His voice was disguised but he could not hide his british accent. Reporter one after another, he presided over the murders of folly, another sotloff. And peter kassig, plus two britons and then two japanese hostages. Earlier this year, his true identity was revealed to be mohamed emwazi, seen here wearing an american baseball cap, the son of kuwaiti parents who emigrated to the united kingdom. Even as a schoolboy in london, emwazi was spotted by teachers as having a violent streak. One teacher told the bbc at age 11 he was put in anger management therapy. Wed find that hed get very angry and worked up and it would take him a long time to calm himself down. Reporter as a young adult he joined isis flaunting his role as executioner with his piercing eyes and gravelly voice he became one of the worlds most wanted men. Our knife will continue to strike the necks of your people. Its just so sad that our precious resources have been, you know, concentrated to seek revenge, if you will, or kill this man, when its a bit of them had been utilized to save our young americans, thats what our country should be doing. U. S. Officials this morning say they presume that emwazi was killed in the drone strike based on what they observed of the hit. The vehicle he was in burst into flames and one official said jihadi john essentially, george, was evaporated. May never have the dna. May never have the dna. Brian ross, thanks very much. The long hunt coming to an end and Abcs Martha Raddatz in washington. Martha, we tracked down this isis terrorist, but what does it say about our overall intelligence capabilities in that area . Reporter well, amy, clearly even with limited intelligence assets we managed to track down some of these isis fighters and leaders. If confirmed he is by far the most prominent. That may have helped him find him. Its never easy to track any single person. You have to figure out their pattern of life. How would he travel . Who does he meet with . How does he got the execution messages out. By being the public face of this Terror Campaign jihadi john was tempting fate. More people would know who he was, where he stayed, especially with that british accent. But even with all that as we said, it took more than a year to find him, amy. So, martha, does this make a difference in the fight against isis . Does this have an impact . Reporter its without question a big symbolic victory for the u. S. And britain and you can be sure well make the most of it in terms of countering the isis message but he was not the man leading the fight and surely someone will step in to take his place. The isis network remains very strong and very widespread, but this strike, if proven to be jihadi john, is a blow to the group for now, amy. All right, Martha Raddatz in washington, thank you. The fight against isis front and center in my exclusive interview with president obama yesterday when we spoke in the cabinet room shortly before the strike, the president acknowledged how difficult it would be to eliminate the threat from that deadly terror group. Even your friendly critics, Fareed Zakaria says what you have on the ground is not going to be enough. Every couple months you will be faced with the same choice, back down or double down. I think what is true is that this has always been a multi year project, precisely because the government structures in the sunni areas of iraq are weak and there are none in syria and we dont have Ground Forces there in sufficient numbers to simply march into al raqqah and syria and clean the whole place out. And as a consequence, weve always understood that our goal has to be militarily constraining isils capabilities, cutting off their supply line, cutting off their financing. But isis is gaining strength, arent they . I dont think theyre gaining strength. What is true, from the start our goal has been first to contain and we have contained them. They have not gained ground in iraq and in syria theyll come in, theyll leave. But you dont see this systemic march by isil across the terrain. What we have not yet been able to do is to completely decapitate their command and control structures. Weve made some progress in trying to reduce the flow of foreign fighters and part of our goal has to be to recruit more effective sunni partners in iraq to really go on offense rather than simply engage in defense. So what do you think when you hear someone like ben carson get up and say, hey, this would be easy . We can take isil out by bombing their oil fields. What i think is that he doesnt know. About it and, look, george, i think its fair to say that over the last several years, ive had access to all the best military minds in the country and all the best Foreign Policy minds in the country and im not running for office and so my only interest is in success and if im down in the situation room talking with people who have worked in these regions and have run Major Military operations from the chairman of my joint chiefs of staff joe dunford to individuals like general allen who was involved in iraqi operations back in 2007 2008 and they dont think its easy, then its probably not easy and what weve been able to do is to shape a strategy that first and foremost contained the momentum that isil had gained, but until we get the syria political situation resolved and until assad is no longer a lightning rod for sunnis in syria and that entire region is no longer a proxy war for shia sunni conflict were going to continue to have problem. This is a tough that could take a generation. Well, i would distinguish between making sure that the place is perfect, thats not going to happen any time soon, with making sure that isil continues to shrink in its scope of operations until it no longer poses the kind of threat that it does, not just primarily to us, but to neighbors in the region like jordan or saudi arabia and that the humanitarian crisis thats taking place with millions of people who are fleeing the country, that they can be relieved. Lets bring in jon karl from the white house for more on this and, jon, the president acknowledging how difficult this fight is but as martha pointed out this morning, a big symbolic victory for the president. This is a hugely important symbolic victory for the white house. Jihadi john is seen as somebody who was not just the public face of isis but somebody who was key in the recruitment in the west and also as you mentioned, george, somebody who repeatedly taunted the president , mentioning him by name in virtually every one of those beheading videos. And, jon, we heard the president say ben carson doesnt know what hes talking about on the fight against isis. Carson also taking fire last night from donald trump. Reporter yeah, donald trump is on the warpath. This was his most overthetop attack yet, really a bizarre speech overnight taking on the man who is now the frontrunner or challenging him as the frontrunner in the polls, dr. Ben carson. Its Donald Trumps most overthetop attack yet going after ben carson using words carson wrote in his autobiography about his troubled youth. When he said he had a, quote, pathological temper. So he said he has pathological disease. Now, if youre pathological, theres no cure for that, folks. Okay. If youre a child molester, a sick puppy, youre a child molester, theres no cure for that. Theres only one cure. We dont want to talk about that cure. Thats the ultimate cure. Theres two. Theres death and the other thing. Reporter and trumps rant didnt end there. I say what the hell have we come to, what have we come to when we have to believe this kind of stuff and were going to put somebody in office who considers himself to have pathological disease. Read the definition in the dictionary of pathological disease and im not saying it. He said it about himself. Reporter in the most bizarre part of the speech, trump brought out an manuimaginary kn to imitate a scene in his autobiography where as a teenager he said he tried to stab a friend hitting him in the belt buckle. How stupid are the people of iowa . How stupid are the people of the country to believe this crap . Reporter carsons spokesman dismissed trumps ds diatribe a reaction to carsons standings in the polling, saying, quote, mr. Trump has resentment when he sees dr. Carson rise. And, george, that speech went on for 95 minutes, trump was going after everybody. He called marco rubio a lightweight and went after Carly Fiorina calling her carly whats her name. Really bizarre. Totally bizarre and, jon, typical candidates if they call iowa voters stupid pay a price. Its never been tried before. Thanks very much. You can see a lot more of my exclusive interview with president obama this sunday on this week. Looking forward to it, george. We turn to a secret Service Officer who worked at the white house under arrest this morning accused of sending sexually explicit messages and pictures to someone he believed was an underage girl allegedly sending some while he was on duty. Abcs Pierre Thomas is in washington with the latest on that story. Good morning, pierre. Reporter good morning, amy. Authorities say when confronted officer Lee Robert Moore admitted to the sordid online conversations and to sending a naked picture of himself to what he thought was a 14yearold girl and some of these communications which took place over a period of months happened while moore was on duty at the white house. He also allegedly said he sent sexually explicit communication to other underage girls and, amy, it gets worse. Moore is accused of trying to arrange a meeting for a sexual encounter with a minor. And, pierre, tell us what type of work did moore do for the white house and whats next in his case . Reporter moore claimed that he actually worked clearing people into the white house. Hes due in court this morning as Legal Proceedings are now fully under way. This is the latest embarrassing incident for secret service trying to get over a prostitution scandal and allegations of drunk agents and we all remember that fence jumper who got inside the white house. Amy. All right, Pierre Thomas, in washington, thank you. A lot of challenges for the secret service. We move on to strong winds causing some coastal flooding kicking up surf across the great lakes.

This morning, an urgent warning to online daters about a dangerous new way criminals are preying on those looking for love.

Its happened six times in recent weeks in boston alone. Now police there and even the Massachusetts Attorney general telling daters, dont agree to meet anyone at their residence. Its a criminal spin on catfishing, luring someone with a fake online profile and its happening around the country. I was basically prey for him.

Safety and selfdefense expert Jarrett Arthur says were becoming so used to meeting people online were forgetting to follow basic precautions when it comes to meeting them in person. One thing she recommends doing, a reverse image search of their profile photo. So this shows you right away that this person might not be who they say they are. If the photo is attached to any other names on the internet, thats a red flag. They may have given you a fake name. Chances are somebody is using somebody elses profile. Reporter so before going on that first date our experts says always speak on the phone and always tell a friend or Family Member where youre going to be going. Going back to that reverse image search, if youre on an ipad, a tablet or phone, you can download reverse see. Its an app that costs 1. 99 then upload the persons profile picture into the app. Here ive got one of our producers. Then ill search that picture and see what other types its been used online.

Not too many online profiles. Most important go to a public place. Always meet at a public place. Meet there. Dont ever let anybody pick you up and take you there.

Have you come out of the depression from when you were a young girl to now . Definitely in the last few years with the body positive movement, i feel like ive changed a lot.

Are you even going to need a coverup anymore . No, no, ill be on the beach like yes im proud of you and thank you so much for coming on here. I want to give you a hug too. You look beautiful. And back with us is Ashley Graham. Tell us the change that you saw in mandy when she walked out in that bikini . It was remarkable. I mean this young woman has been bullied. She has hated her body for so long and this is proof that she actually loves herself. And this was another way of her telling the naysayers shes too ugly or fat that shes proud of who she is. I was so ecstatic to see her. You whispered to me when we were watching the piece, you know how hard that is to do. Yeah. And so the pride you see in her in her own body is remarkable. It really was. She came out, didnt care what size she was. She didnt care about the rolls, the cellulite. Any of that. She looked at herself in the mirror and said im a beautiful woman. Well, and this is something that you preach. You look in the mirror. Yes. And you tell your flaws that you love them and you want to show us what my flaws. Im going to show you. Right, right. Okay.

You may want to take over my whole bottom half, but im going to choose to love you today. Ashley, i love you. Whoo [ applause ] so, wait, how often do you actually do that . You know, in the beginning when i really hated my body, i had to do it every single day and now i have my mantra. Every morning i just look at myself when im getting ready, you are bold, you are brilliant, you are beautiful because in the beginning i had to fake it. I really did but now im so confident, it doesnt matter if there is back fat hanging out or, you know, a piece of cellulite. I dont care. I can tell. And you love it. You embrace it. This is you. All of you. Yes, yes, this is me. Ashley, such an awesome message. A fantastic job. Thank you so much. We appreciate it. Thank you. Thank you for having me. I really appreciate it.

Thats right. No more emailing. The company is in a trial period of carrying out all of their daytoday tasks the oldfashioned way. So what do they do, just call you all day long . The adjustment has not been easy, and people are now actually circling back to ancient traditions like talking to one another, picking up the telephone and even picking up pens and writing handwritten notes. What . What are those, my son says. Many studies show a full inbox can lead to higher Blood Pressure and this emailfree tactic has proven to lower peoples stress levels significantly, so how did the company send word out to employees that they were going emailfree .

He studied primates and how they move to help him achieve his success. He says he never misses a training opportunity. He even mops floors on all fours while working his day job in building maintenance. So, you know what, congratulations on achieving your dream. Everybody has a dream. He got his. And then finally, they say golf is a gentlemans sport but that doesnt mean that everyone is gentle when it comes time to play. Just ask this grumpy kangaroo who apparently has no patience for the golfers on his turf. Look closely. Get in the cart [ laughter ] hes fast. Hes fast and he is not pleased. Is that guy screaming .

Ginger, your turn to share your favorite gma memories. Its been such a privilege to be part of this family. For the past four years and ive had amazing experiences to be able to travel the world and share stories with our viewers and about some of our viewers too. The gma weather team just grew by one. A very special one, ginger zee, welcome. Thank you so much. My first day at gma was all nerves. Everybody, welcome ginger, please. She starts is this thats something the Storm Prediction Center puts out. Imagine the power of flattened trees. Gma has created life memories i will never forget and my bucket list is getting short. I had no idea what i was getting my life into. Whoo oh. Good morning, america. This place is so surreal, you guys. Oh, my gosh, you can see it. Weve made it one story of 27 yet to go. This is kind of the craziest thing ive done yet. What was pretty significant about coming to gma was my storm chasing background. Had a funnel just moments ago. Imagine, though, a four to even eightfoot wall of water. Down here, its wild. If youre not a meteorologist in the field watching a storm, feeling a storm, knowing what it tastes like even, then youre not understanding the atmosphere and then el nino happened. Its been such a heavy weekend for everyone in oklahoma . And it was the first time ive had someone close to me pass away in a story. I remember that morning one of the producers started calling me and said, ginger, tim died in the tornado and i said, thats not possible. Its actually not possible at all. Hes the mo essex experienced, hes the best scientist out there. I think it really hit me not only as the science that i do and what tim did every day, important we think in some ways that were slightly invincible and to watch someone you know become part of that story and then to have to cover it ill never forget that whole day so that one sticks out to me in a very poignant way where i thought we are all part of this together. There was a story i wanted to tell. Environmental stories dont usually get picked up. The population of vultures in nepal was declining. I found this group that did parahawking to give attention to the vulture population. Deadliest catch, definitely feel psych seasickness. I have never thrown up so much in my life for one thing. Ill be fine. You got to see it and feel it and know why these people are putting their life at risk for crap. That one i hopefully will never forget. What is the scariest one . The sharks. I feel like im in a movie. Bring them on. I loved it. The jellywish, swimming with them. The scariest for me was nascar. Fast on the ground is no good. To become someone who can kind of make history in a way or be a part of a team that does that, it feels surreal. Live from 10,000 feet. Skydiving live was memorable. Nobody knew if we were going to be able to pull it off. The anchors were more concerned for me. Oh, my gosh, ginger, be careful. The skydiving one was memorable in the history way. Just look at this. It is unbelievable. I went to vietnam, being in that cave was one of the most difficult things ive ever done. But at the end of it you look back and you go, wow. I climbed this. Im part of history. Im one of only a couple hundred people that have been able to be in there and able to bring the world in to this global phenomena live. I think the one event ill tell my kids and my grandkis is about iceland. Right behind me is the biggest lava flow in more than 200 years and we are going to take you inside. I remember flying into that volcano overit with a helicopter and then flying a drone inside and flying over this crater. The response that i got about how even life changing it was for them watching, that one is going to stick with me forever. Right here on good morning america. Ive never been in a place that believes in you as much as they do here. I am honored to be part of the on air people. These people have so much experience and to become part of a team like that and help round out what i think is a nice family, that feels good. It feels good to be a part of every morning of the you may never sleep for a couple of years. You may never but the opportunities that come to you are second to none. A lot of screaming in that. Yeah. You make it look you have the hardest job here. Its not even close. You should get out more, ginger. Again, one of us interviewed the president. Not jumping out of a plane. You have no idea who the special guest is. I dont. It could be anyone from Beverly Hills 90210. Alex trebek. But do you hear that . I do hear it. Your special guest is coming. Do not turn around just yet. Oh, my god. Oh, my gosh. How are you doing . I am like this i cant believe this is happening. Congratulations, by the way. Thank you so much. He just got married. Thank you. How are you doing . I was a huge fan of yours on idol. I watched the whole season, picked him out at the beginning. Dan, you remember. I do remember talking about you early and often. Early and often. Your music has been so instrumental even in my relationship with my husband. The first gift he heifer got me was the sheet music and we have it framed in our home. Oh. Yeah. Thanks for making me a part of it. Youre shaking. Youre making me im shaking. I told him, we have a lot of people come on and i you always wanted i think i talked to one time through the camera. Because i was doing the anniversary i was like, you have to say hi to ginger. Oh, my goodness. Yep. Thats the picture. He took a picture. Phillip, im now you can get a real picture and take that and frame that. Along with the sheet music. Yeah. Put that in your bedroom. In the nursery. Maybe we have a name for the kid. Nah. My name is weird. No. Dont want to use my name. Its memorable but its weird. Phillip phillips zee. Yeah, thats something there. You are a great sport. Thank you. Thank you for being here. Got to be a little weird for you. Its okay. Im just happy to be here. No alec trebek. We couldnt decide but were so thrilled. Thanks that yall. I dont have a type. Once upon a time.

Action. Looking all over the castle for you. Reporter once upon a time of cast of fairy tale characters traveled from story brook, maine, to a land far, far away. Camelot, of course. Reporter didnt get the daytime camelot. I didnt. I wish someone would have sent me the memo. You look gorgeous. This is just how we come to work. Reporter while i may have missed the wardrobe draeb memo the cast brought me quickly up to speed. About trying to get emma back to the light and well do the best we can to do that. Im the dark one. Its very rare you go into season five with an opportunity to sort of build a character from scratch. Reporter regina is, as well. I felt like for the first three years i was this dark villain and then she found the light thanks to this group. Reporter going over here to you two loveburs. Art and life seem to be imitating one another. Baby neal in the show, got baby oliver in real life. Baby neal will have attachment issues. The differences about baby neal and oliver is we can give baby neal back at the end of the night and we have oliver so theres a lot more work. Oliver is like a toddler. Hes a little dude. Hes like almost as big as jared. Reporter after visits from pan, elsa and this season, who could be storybrookes next visitor. Star wars. Star wars would be incredible. Just saying. I always thought Indiana Jones would be fun. That would be epic. Buzz lightyear walks in. Thats a good one. To infinity and beyond. Reporter so we took the casts suggestion straight to the creator and writers. You know, star wars is ow personal favorite fairy tale but im not sure again the millennium falcon will be what our fans want. I dont know what we would put at the Kraft Service table for a wookie.
