Transcripts For KGO Good Morning America 20170725

Sister, then continues to broadcast the aftermath. And the American Company taking micromanaging to a whole new level. Implanting chips into their employees bodies saying they can log in and unlock doors with just a swipe of their hand. Is this new technology about to hit your office . To hit your and we do say good morning, america. Great to have michael back. You didnt need a microchip to get in. You got this. I flashed this gap. Thats better than any microchip you can put in your hand. A busy day in washington. Welcome back, michael. John mccain returning to capitol hill after revealing he has brain cancer. He will be there for that crucial vote to try to open debate on the Gop Health Care bill. How that vote will turn out is still a mystery. And President Trump is unleashed this morning on twitter a harsh new attack on his attorney general calling for a new investigation into Hillary Clinton and, guys, i just have to underscore how unprecedented, how abnormal this is. We have never seen a president publicly attack and humiliate his own attorney general like this. We have never seen a president call for a criminal investigation of the opponent he defeated. This is brandnew. This is bizarre. The president crossing all kind of lines. And well have more on all that in just a moment. But first, lets start with that health care battle. Our Congressional Correspondent mary bruce is there on capitol hill, has the latest. Good morning, mary. Reporter good morning, robin. After seven years of promises and months of planning today is the day. Senate republicans are finally going to vote to debate obamacare and theyre getting a much needed boost, senator john mccain swooping in to deliver what could be the deciding vote on his partys defining pledge. Overnight, a surprise twist in the health care fight. A jolt of momentum from john mccain. The arizona senator announcing he is returning to the senate after revealing last week that he has brain cancer. Just in time for a critical showdown vote to overhaul obamacare. Mccain has been recovering at home. Over the weekend tweeting this photo on a hike with a friend. Today, hes dipping his feet back into the health care debate. With Senate Republicans poised to act, President Trump is ramping up the pressure to deliver. Its time. You know, after seven years of saying repeal and replace obamacare, we have a chance to now do it. They better do it. Hopefully theyll do it. Reporter speaking to boy scouts from across the country at a jamboree in West Virginia he called out the state senator, capito, a key holdout by name. Senator capito didnt vote for it. You got to get the other senators to vote for it. Reporter Senate Republicans are set to vote this afternoon to begin debate on a bill. I know many of us have waited literally years for this moment to finally arrive. Reporter but theres one key question left unanswered. They still dont know what bill theyre working on. Will they repeal and replace obamacare or just repeal . Right now neither has enough votes to pass. The president s made clear what he wants. Remember, repeal and replace, repeal and replace. They kept saying it over and over again. We as a party must fulfill that solemn promise to the voters of this country to repeal and replace. Reporter and this is going to be close. This morning, its unclear it republicans have the votes to advance this debate. Its why john mccain is so critical. He could bring republicans one vote closer to that magic 50 number. The president , in fact, just tweeting this morning, so great that john mccain is coming back to vote. Brave american hero. Thank you, john. George. Okay, mary, one of many tweets from the president this morning. He has been up and hes been up early on the attack against his own attorney general. Calling for a new investigation of Hillary Clinton. That series of tweets just moments ago including this one. Attorney general Jeff Sessions has taken a very weak position on Hillary Clinton crimes. He also said, so where is the investigation . Lets get more on this from our chief White House Correspondent jon karl and Pierre Thomas and, jon, let me begin with you. Again, this is so extraordinary what were seeing right here. No president in modern times has attacked his attorney general like this. No president in modern times has called for an investigation into his opponent and the president has now done this three out of the last four days. Reporter its especially bizarre, george, when you consider that attorney general sessions actually had offered to resign back in may when the president first exploded on him for his recusal that resulted, the president believes, in the appointment of Robert Mueller as the special counsel. He offered to resign. The president did not accept that offer. Now, you have this continual attack on the attorney general. Somebody who also was i would say, george, the single most important, arguably the single most important endorsement he got during his president ial campaign, a loyal ally. Now the question is, if he actually goes through and fires him, or if this causes sessions to quit, who would replace him . Weve heard two names floated. Rudy giuliani and ted cruz. Both men have said that they are not interested in the job. They have said theyre not interested in the job. The question is, would the president be trying to get someone to be in control of the russia investigation . Meanwhile, this intensified interest in Hillary Clinton seemingly, not seemingly, hes pressuring the attorney general to open an investigation that had been closed. Reporter yeah, and thats strange given the president s own words, back in november after the election the president himself made it clear that he had no desire to go after the clintons. He said, you know, essentially let bygones be bygones. Now you have this and we looked back, george, the president has tweeted about Hillary Clinton almost 40 times, 39 times since the election. He won that election but seems intent on going back and relitigating it over and over and over again. And of course, this was an investigation the fbi completed and closed. Lets get more from Pierre Thomas over at the Justice Department. Up until now, the attorney general hanging in there. Reporter he had been hoping that the president s anger would dissipate. Thats not happening and the tweets make it clear the president is still angry about this and, look, at the end of the day everyone at the Justice Department is watching. Can the attorney general continue to do his job under these circumstances when its clear that the president increasingly does not have confidence in him. But, pierre, we have all theres no law but weve had all kinds of norms against the president interfering in investigations like this, all kinds of rules and norms and traditions built up that the president doesnt order an investigation into his defeated opponent. Reporter look, george, tradition has been at the white house and the president do not apply political pressure on the Justice Department with regards to criminal investigations. Theyre supposed to be a bright red line but it looks like the president is stepping all over that line and it creates yet another dilemma for sessions. Does he stand up for the traditions and independence or does he let it appear that the white house is micromanaging the nations top Law Enforcement officials. That is the big question. Thank you very much. One more tweet from the president this morning, he said Jared Kushner did very well yesterday proving he did not collude with the russians. Witchhunt. Next up, 11yearold barron trump. Go figure. Interesting. All right. Thank you, george. Were going to turn now going to turn it all around and go to that Severe Weather overnight. Flash floods across the south and the northeast and now the midwest is on alert for those storms and ginger is here tracking it all. Good morning, ginger. Good morning to you, michael. So many areas we have to hit this morning. Very heavy rain falling in Southern Nevada north of las vegas. Unfortunately, i think well see more water rescues and more images like this than we have in the past 24 hours. Monsoon rains triggering flash flooding again in arizona. This was the scene in apache junction, cars stranded, roads erased. More than two inches of rain falling in just an hour. And now new video from arizona where 17 hikers were swept away. A human chain strainers lifting children out of the water. In birmingham, alabama, at least ten drivers had to be rescued after storm drains were overwhelmed by all the rain. In mississippi, the radar estimating eight inches of rain washing out roads. Near philadelphia, winds ripping power lines, sparking fires. An Amusement Park in eastern pennsylvania under feet of water and this is what it looked like in syracuse, new york. Powerful winds tearing the roof off this store. Water pouring over the merchandise. In maryland, an ef2 tornado with winds reaching 125 Miles Per Hour shredding this building monday morning. So this is not what we need, more severe storms on the way for the areas so hard hit by flash flooding. You can see damaging winds, certainly hail from eastern south dakota to minnesota and it really starts to move east into that area around the chicago, north suburbs, fox river. You can see southern wisconsin, eastern iowa, the quad cities all going to be an issue as we go through wednesday and the flash flood watchs still up in the southwest. Robin and michael and george. You keep an eye on that, ginger, thank you. Now to a scary moment in the air. A united flight forced to make an Emergency Landing in houston after an unruly passenger tried to storm the cockpit. Abcs david kerley is at Reagan National airport with those details. Good morning, david. Reporter good morning, robin. This is the story as much about the scare as it is about five passengers who sprang into action to put an end to it. United 898 tango, roger, well get medical and Law Enforcement. Reporter this morning, no word whether the passenger will face charges for an emergency scare and landing. Just 25 minutes after taking off from houston, passengers say a woman seated in the back row started yelling and hitting the side of the plane. I hear a woman screaming in the back of the plane. You know, were all protected and loved. Were all protected and loved. This plane is going to land beautifully and kindly and beautifully. Reporter within moments, he says the woman on the united flight stands up. Bolts into the aisle and with that starts sprinting toward the cockpit. Reporter he and other passengers jump into action tackling the woman just before she reached the front of the aircraft. It took five, you know, men to hold her down and it wasnt easy. She was in a totally psychotic state. She was very aggressive. Reporter the jet returned to houston late saturday and the woman was hospitalized. In another incident, American Airlines says three of its crew members were taken to the hospital on monday. The airline says that the crew was complaining about an odor inside the cabin as this jet was approaching miami from san antonio. When they landed, the crew asked to be taken to the hospital. American says theyre checking out that a319 jetliner for any kind of problem. George. Okay, david, thanks very much. Were going to move on now to that tragic car crash in california. Where an 18yearold has been arrested for driving under the influence after crashing and killing her 14yearold sister while livestreaming the whole episode on social media. Abcs matt gutman is in los angeles with the story. Good morning. Reporter good morning. What is most disturbing she continued that livestream even after that tragic crash. Now, the parents of these two girls say their lives are ruined. Its the darker side of live video feeds and in this case police say itll likely be used as evidence in this young womans prosecution. Police say Obdulia Sanchez live streamed this hell ride through central california. Making matters worse, police say she was heavily intoxicated, swerving past that black suv. Two 14yearolds in the car with her. Her sister riding shotgun. She can be heard shouting shes going to kill me. Police say thats exactly what happened on friday as the 18yearold sanchez began drifting off route 165. Then overcorrected. The car tumbling, three girls inside screaming. Please wake up reporter shockingly with her sister lying lifeless she continues to live stream. I [ bleep ] my sister. I know im going to jail. Reporter shes been charged with gross manslaughter while intoxicated. Its disturbing to us because of the callous nature of her actions and the immediate aftermath. Reporter disturbing trend. People Live Streaming their crimes on social media. I think as our technology increases were going to see new innovative ways people do or commit crimes and here the new technology is Live Streaming. Reporter police in florida also accused ryan styles of drinking and Live Streaming. Whoo reporter he led police on a highspeed chase on the beach in st. Petersburg, florida, last week mowing over chairs and swigging what seems to be whiskey. Now, social Media Companies are struggling to keep up. Facebook says itll soon have about 7500 employees reviewing questionable content. Thats about a third of its entire workforce. Mostly it means they take these videos down before they can go viral but what they cant do is stop people from posting these horrors. George. This is just unimaginable. Okay, matt, thanks very much. Amy with todays other top stories. Unfortunately, a tenth person has now died in that human smuggling tragedy where a tractortrailer was found crammed with people. Dozens remain in critical condition. They took turns breathing through a tiny hole in that truck. A mexican man says he was charged 5,500 for the trip.

Overseas, israel has now removed metal detectors from a holy site in jerusalem following days of unrest. The detectors were installed after an arab gunman killed two Israel Police officers and israeli officers are calling for more hightech surveillance. A california distillery is picking up good vibrations letting their whiskey listen to music to see if it affects the taste. Theyre putting headphones on the barrels and you know what, they say its working.

When the vibrations are moving the whiskey you guys are laughing at me with you. With you. We believe that dogs talk before we believe that whiskey is listening to music but its a great story. We have another great story this morning, about a Chicago Bears linebacker who is now being called a hero for his quick thinking at an airport. He saved someone who was choking and t. J.

Freeman closes the gap a guy like two seats over, he just stands up abruptly and like runs around inside of the table. Reporter freeman was in the Austin Airport on his way to bears Training Camp sunday when he stopped by for a barbecue sandwich in the food court and he noticed a stranger at a nearby table in distress. He was pointing to it. He was pointing to his throat, his mouth. Reporter freeman, a texas native, rushed into action using the heimlich maneuver.

More on that coming up. But first, a surprise plea deal in the case of that woman charged with killing her fiance by tampering with his kayak and letting him drown. For two years she insisted his death was a tragic accident. Now shes pleading guilty to negligent homicide and abcs linsey davis is here with that dramatic new development. Good morning, linsey. Reporter good morning, george. Graswalds trial was set to begin next month. She faced life in prison, but this guilty plea is essentially a get out of jail free card. It means shes only agreeing that she failed to perceive a risk. She still maintains this was not an intentional murder. An emotional Angelika Graswald pleading guilty to negligent homicide monday. His kayak took on water and began to sink, correct . Yes. Reporter the 37yearold latvia native had been charged with Second Degree murder in the april 2015 death of her fiance, vincent viafore. Prosecutors say that graswald who, during an 11hour police interrogation, was filmed taking yoga breaks and playing hopscotch sabotaged viafores kayak removing its plug causing it to take on water and sink during a trip on the hudson river valley. I dont see him. Oh, my god. Can you see the kayak still . No, the kayak went under water. Oh, my god. Reporter an investigator testified at an earlier hearing that graswald said she felt trapped by viafore and wanted to be free, admitting she took his paddle after his kayak capsized in the choppy waters while he begged her to call 911. In court on monday, graswald said she knew the plug was not in viafores kayak, knew that the weather was dangerous, and that he had been drinking and wasnt wearing a life jacket. But she says she did not do anything to intentionally cause his death. You could tell by her the struggles she had in the courtroom today through her plea allocution that she cared very deeply for vince. She loved him very much and never in her wildest dreams did she ever imagine that her conduct would lead to his death. Reporter Police Arrested graswald back in 2015 after that 11hour interrogation. Why didnt he have the plug in there . He didnt have it because i guess i had it. I wanted him dead and now hes gone. And im okay with it. Im okay with that. Reporter she later explained her words to abcs elizabeth vargas. Well, they kept asking me the same questions like 100 times. I knew that i was innocent. I was at my breaking point. I had it so i just gave them what they wanted. Graswald is expected to be sentenced in november. She faces one to four years behind bars but, because shes already served 27 months, she could be released by the end of december, george. Okay, linsey, thanks very much. Lets talk about it with dan abrams and nancy grace and, dan, let me begin with you. Every time i hear negligent homicide i think its a contradiction in terms. Explain what it is and why she would plead guilty to it. It means you didnt do it on purpose but that you created a risk that was unjustifiable, that either you did something or didnt do something that led to the persons death. Bottom line is that the reason she took this deal is because it means shes getting out of prison in a matter of months as opposed to risking it for years. The more interesting question is, why did prosecutors offer this deal . And the reason for that is because they had a weak case. Nancy may disagree with me on this but the reason you dont offer this kind of deal to someone whos facing murder charges unless you are worried youre not going to get a conviction, and in this case i think it would have been very tthrdhaat vt ido eotape you he alleged confession point, its really taken out of context. When you listen to the full 11 hours, its nowhere near as incriminating as the clip seems. I hear you laughing, nancy. I guess you dont think its a weak case. Listen, you know, why dont you just help her go to the bank, dan abrams, and cash in for her quarter of a Million Dollars worth of Life Insurance that this guy had and she was the beneficiary. How about statements like im glad hes dead. Im okay with it. It felt good knowing he was going to die. Heres what happened. She took the plug out of the kayak. It was found in the console of her car. While he begged for help, she kicked away his paddle. His kayak went under the choppy waters of the hudson in about 40 degrees. She waited for him to be under water ten minutes. Then ten minutes later, she called 911 and witnesses saw her intentionally trying to turn over her own kayak so she could pretend that she saved tried to save him. Nancy, how much do you know about kayaks . Singing karaoke. What . How much do you know about kayaks . I have kayaked many, many times. And i was a camp counsellor, so yes, i know about kayaks. The good thing is youll know that removing that plug will not sink a kayak. Thats not the way it works. The kayak sunk, dan. Do you argue that the kayak went under water . They found it miles and miles away. Let me ask you another question, have you been in the hudson river . It went under. Have you been in the hudson when the weather is really, really bad . I have sailed up to yes, on a boat and a sailboat up to the island. Have you . No. One thing has nothing to do with the other. A kayak doesnt sink because of a missing plug. Kayaks sink because of high winds in hudson river. And why, may i ask, does she kick away his paddle . Theres no evidence that she kicked listening, not hearing. She never kicked she said she kicked it away. She never admitted to that. Shes charged with tampering with the paddle. And why do you think she said she kicked, pushed away the paddle. She said that its in her statement. The reason no, she did not admit to kicking it away. Chaching. The reason she admitted to pushing it away. The reason that she is settling this case and the reason that the prosecutors are offering this deal is because they dont have the kind of case youre suggesting. Theyre afraid. Thats why theyre doing it. I never tried a single case that i wasnt afraid i wouldnt get a conviction, but theyre afraid that a jury will sympathize with her. Come on. She said she didnt break up with him because she was too spiritual and if she just broke up with him he wouldnt truly be gone. I mean, dan . Nancy, the only hard part of my job in this segment is ending it. Thank you both. Robin.

Were back now with that new twist in johnny depps heated legal battle with his former Business Managers. The star filing Court Documents insisting theyre trying to, quote, publicly vilify him. Amy, you got the details on this. We all know that depp is one of hollywoods leading actors and this morning he is firing back at his former managers who claim he has psychological issues and is to blame for his financial distress. Depp is now asking for these claims to be stricken from the 25 million legal fight hes now in with his former Management Company. This morning, johnny depp is accusing his former Business Managers of trying to publicly shame him by alleging he has psychological issues and compulsive spending disorder. Not sure i deserve that. Reporter its another turn in the ongoing legal battle after depp sued his exmoney managers for more than 25 million earlier this year, accusing them and their Management Company of treating his income as if it were their own personal bank account. Wow. Reporter the managers countersuit saying depp refused to take their advice, alleging he spent more than 2 million a month to maintain his lifestyle including 14 homes, an 18 million yacht and spending 30,000 a month on wine. But this morning, depp says his former managements Company Claims of his alleged psychological issues and compulsive spending disorder, now splashed across the headlines, should be stricken from the proceedings, calling the companys claims an attempt to publicly vilify mr. Depp. Hes been a star for 25 years. I dont think this is going to bring him down. Now, does it help him . Probably not. But i dont think that people make their judgment about whether to see a johnny depp movie based on spending and his personal life. Reporter now after depps latest filing, his former Management Group telling abc news, johnny depp is doing Everything Possible to prevent the truth from coming out and the claims against tmg are fictitious and he knows it. We should note that johnny depp has starred in films produced by abcs parent company, disney, and as far as this ongoing saga, depp is not commenting on the latest filing, but the next court date is a motion hearing in november with the case set to go before a jury. That happens on january 24th of next year. Robin. So still a lot more to come. All right, amy. Michael. Robin, coming up on our big board, that company putting microchips into its employees hands.

Oh, yeah. Its a big move at an office that could change the way a lot of americans work. A tech company in wisconsin is offering to implant tiny microchips into its employees. Not just but the chips could allow people to unlock office doors, make purchases. Rebecca, come on here. So many questions about this, robin and michael. Good morning. We asked a lot of them. This is the first American Company to ever try this. One week from today many of the employees, including the ceo, will voluntarily have the microchips implanted into their bodies and theyre calling it im not kidding here a chips and salsa party. This morning, like a scene straight out of 007. So you can keep an eye on me . Reporter employees at one wisconsin tech company, three square market, willingly making that fantasy a reality, implanting their own bodies with microchips. What did the employees say when you brought this idea to them . Half of them actually within five seconds says yes. Reporter ceo todd westby along with 50 of his 80 colleagues, even his wife and kids, preparing to implant these chips, the size of a grain of rice, between their forefingers and thumbs so they can do everything from buy snacks in the break room to log in in the morning to unlocking doors with just the swipe of a hand. What did it take to persuade the holdouts . Basically we had to explain to them theres no tracking of the information. Its not gps or anything like that. Reporter the Radio Frequency Technology in the devices approved by the fda will be inserted with a small needle by a licensed technician. Some internet experts warn the convenience could come at a cost. Many things start off with the best of intentions, but sometimes intentions turn. Weve survived thousands of years as a species without being microchipped. Is there any particular need to do it now . Reporter participation is optional and some are holding out. Theres always the fear of infection, so its the unknown right now. Reporter but many are excited to give the new technology a try. I think its kind of cool. Just pop it up there and itll work. Just pop it up there. Its that simple so to give you a sense, heres a grain of rice. The chips will be inserted like this grain of rice right here between your thumb and forefinger and most of the employees have opted in. It is voluntary. One size fits all, i guess. Now what happens if you get the implant and then youre like i dont want this anymore. So they told me in case this happens, you pop it out. You literally push it out the way you would push a splinter out of your hand. Yes, hmm. Hmm. Okay. Are you on board . No. No. Thank you.

And think about, my dad always told me if youve got a problem, find a way to fix it and find a solution, and so i thought, this just might get some buzz out there and get people talking about it and bring awareness back to the situation thats so serious across america. Across america. Your dad is sitting right there. Do you remember telling her that, to take action and not sit back. Hopefully we brought them up to conquer the problem, not be running from them.

Josh tweeted out this funny conversation that these two have been having for three years and it went viral by the way. People are like, did you clear that with michelle first. Oh, no. Not at all. As a matter of fact, i didnt even know michelles last name until the day i posted it and a friend of a friend commented her name in the bottom so it took three years for me even to learn her last name. And when you realized that the tweet went viral, what happened after that. Were you upset. No, i was not upset about it. I thought it was hilarious and great and we got to their a joke thats private between my best friends with the rest of the world. I feel like were in the dating game right now. I am so nervous for both of you. We want to do a test to see how much you two have in common since you did match up on twitter. Michelle, ill ask you describe your perfect date. My perfect date would probably be anything that can get us laughing, you know, as long as were having a good time enjoying ourselves together is probably whats most perfect. I like that. All right, so josh right back at you. Your perfect date. Hmm, i love outdoor things so if were doing something outdoors, snorkeling but most important thing is the food. Need good food. Does that sound good . Oh, 100 , definitely. All right. All right. I think were off to a good start. Another thing is, okay, here we go. What is your go to song at a karaoke bar. Summer of 69. Brian adams. I sing it every wednesday night. My would be all of me by john legend. I belt that song. Really. You kill it . In the shower i kill it. Thats really just melted a lot of hearts. All right. So, josh, if you got to an airport and had two snacks yoshgs faufrts junk food. Movie theater popcorn. Love Movie Theater popcorn and chips. Just chips. Just good old potato chips. Plain old potato chips. You. Im more of a cuddle girl than movie butter popcorn but im definitely a chip girl as well. I think we have something here. Same question to both of you guys. Favorite tv show to binge . Hands down the office. I can watch that any time, any day. [ applause ] michelle, how about you. Exact same for me. I think ive seen it like eight types now. No way. I mean, i want to knock down this wall. That is awesome. I tell you what, lara, i mean the office at the end they both say the same thing. Think it makes it official. Youre a match made in tinder heaven. Youll meet on the heart. Are you ready. Are you ready for the moment. Are you guys ready . [ cheers and applause ] ready . Three, two, hey, michelle. It is so good to finally meet you. [ cheers and applause ] busted like crazy. Three years, three years youve been going back and forth and do have a lot in common. How does it feel to meet in person. You know, we just had to wait to do it on Good Morning America, i guess. Seems like the perfect ending. Best meeting i could imagine. Are you kidding me . Its amazing. What are do your parents think. Honestly i hope theyre thinking good things. No, its just been a crazy adventure so far so i know it took me by surprise and them by surprise in my parents have been losing their minds. Weve been on the phone constantly. They are dying to finally meet you. The thing is your sister met her fiance on tipnder. She gave me hope this is where its at. Theyre getting married in november. No pressure. Just a little pressure. I dont know if you guys know but so tinder loved this story and offered you guys they said come on, enough is enough you need to meet. You pick the city and well send you on the date. We picked maui. So after the show you two are going to maui. Yes, we are. Our first date. Are you kidding me . Maui. Its crazy. Were happy we could help you meet. Absolutely. Were so appreciative. A dream come true. This has been unreal. I cant believe im seeing her right now. Hopefully a first of many times. And congratulations on it and enjoy maui and everybody stay right there. Well be right back. [ cheers and applause ] so good to see you. It really is. When i met you in the summer welcome back to gma and want to go back out to ginger. Another look at josh and michelle. Theyre having a good time. Heres the happy couple one more time going to maui. Thor so cute. Ginger out in new york harbor celebrating shark week. George, i have to tell you, shark week is hitting really close to home tonight. The show is called sharks and the city. New york and, yes, it is narrated by sex and the citys very own mr. Big. Your special is on tonight. The question is are sharks headed to manhattan, great whites . Well find out, take a look. Shark, we got a great white shark. Reporter move over, jaws, new tourists are swimming to town and taking a bite out of the big apple. If i could just catch one that would go a long way to understanding why these white shark conservationist and marine biologist Craig Oconnell has been tracking great whites off the new york coast for ten years. I want to know why these sharks are returning. Whats bringing them back . Cleaner water for one but also a growing seal population. The ultimate shark bait. Just west of brooklyn lies swinburne island. When you have seals you could have some great white sharks. Reporter its been more than 300 years since new york city has seen an abundance of marine life, including the great white. Maybe its time the city gains a new york mascot. A new york great white shark probably fast, big teeth and a lot of attitude. So, craig, youve been doing this for a long time and we saw in the piece seals are the first indicator but why else do you know that sharks the great whites are coming here . Were beginning to get cleaner waters in new york and seeing whales and all are indicators that the environment is getting healthy and when you have a healthy environment you get sharks. Okay, and you get so close. Your cameras are right there. How are you doing it safely . This is my favorite piece of technology right here. Its a baited camera trap. Really simple device, pvc, bait, a gopro. You drop it down to the sea floor for about three hours and retrieve it and hope its all mangled. Thats a sign a great white may have absolutely destroyed it. Then you watch all the footage. Really simple tool for me to survey the wears around new york and what we actually saw changed the way i see the waters around new york forever but we also have this new device, this is called the fin cam inspired by my friend andy brandy casagrande. Its a really simple device. You catch a shark, you put this on its dorsal fin and right here after three hours they will corrode and pop up to t sea surface and send a signal to the boat so i can try to find it but the beautiful thing about this right here is that theres this awesome camera and as a shark swims around we see everything that the sharks are seeing. Were going to learn about the biology of these animals and it will help us conserve the sharks in new york waters. I know you cant say exactly where but it was a popular Tourist Destination that you saw a great white, so what do we tell kids . Now that were telling them theyre coming, how do we stay safe . Instead of instilling fear we need to tell them the truth about sharks and sharks are krths incredibly important. We need to teach them that these animals can balance an entire ecosystem and i think we need to tell kids its way more dangerous to be Walking Around new york city in 2016, more new yorkers hit each other. Literally, theyre ten times more likely to get bit by other good morning. Im meteorologist mike nicco. Starting off partly cloudy, temperatures in the 60s at 9 00. Well stay in the 60s at the coast, while well hit the 70s and 80s, a little bit below average this afternoon around the bay and in that weather brought to you by state farm. Craig and i will stay on this boat and head out to you. Thank you, ginger.
