Transcripts For KGO Good Morning America 20240712

Have heard recounted repeatedly this morning and even more. Republicans have been obsessed with repealing obamacare for years, but they dont have the votes to do it. They couldnt get it done in the house. They couldnt get it done in the Senate Thanks to three great republicans including john mccain, and now theyve got to rely on the court to do their work. Judge barrett, youre on the record. You wrote an article in which you criticized the case where chief Justice Roberts was the deciding vote of holding the aca. Now your nomination moving forward at an unprecedented speed. So whats at stake . Let me show you whats at stake here. I want you to meet kenny murray from tinnily park and his family. I had the privilege of meeting the family in my washington office. Heres a picture of sue, ken, their daughter maddie and their son kenny. I was told their son kenny was diagnos diagnosed in utero with heart defects. Kenny had two open heart surgeries at advocate hospital outside of chicago, and he had 13 by the time he was 4 months of age. He was staying in the icu and his health bills reached 1 million dollars. When kenny was born in 2013, his dads Health Insurance through his employer had a lifetime maximum cap of a million bucks. The Affordable Care act banned Insurance Companies from imposing these limits including on the Health Insurance. That plan went into 2013, six days before kennys first surgery. If it werent for the aca, they would have hit the limit in just four months. They told me they would have gone bankrupt. Thanks to the Affordable Care act, kenny was able to get the care he needed. This last picture i want to show you, here it is. Wouldnt you want him on your team . I sure would. She gave me permission to share his story today. His mom said, quote, kenny is a real person whose life depends on the Affordable Care act. Judge barrett, your nomination for a lifetime appointment to the highest court in the land comes before us under a cloud. You have been nominated by a president who shows contempt for the constitution, but does not hesitate to tell his loyal followers that you are being sent to the bench to do his political chores, abolish the aca, rule in his favor in the election contest and even more. You cannot feel good about a president cheapening this historic moment. The future of the Affordable Care act and so many other issues hang in the balance. Voting rights, civil rights, the right to privacy and choice, environmental protection, gun safety laws, marriage equality, dreamers, work protection. These are the stakes. If we wait just a few more days, well know what the American People have to say. Thank you, senator durbin. Senator lee, welcome back. Thank you, mr. Chairman. Welcome, judge barrett. Youre watching abc news life. The Judiciary Committee Holding Hearings for judge Amy Coney Barrett continues there. An extraordinary time toens w ws this. Not only because of the proximity to the election, but you see the judge sitting there with a face mask on. A reminder to all of us this is playing out in the middle of a pandemic. You heard Lindsey Graham at the top as the chair of this committee saying this is an election year. Not saying considering. Confirming was the word he used. What will happen is my democratic colleagues will say this has never been done, and theyre right in this regard. I dont think anybody has ever been confirmed in an election year, he said, but when Justice Ginsburg was asked about this, he says a president serves four years, not three. Thats what senator graham said, but he did not offer the words given by Justice Ginsburgs family giving her final message communicated through her granddaughter saying, my most fervent wish is i wont be replaced until a new president is installed. Wle lets go to terry moran. Thats what republicans are going to do. Senator graham said it himself. We are confirming not considering, but confirming despite the fact we are what 22 days now until election day. More than 5 million americans have cast their vote. Reporter they certainly are, david. In contrast with what Ruth Bader Ginsburg apparently did say in her last days, and with tradition. No Supreme Court justice has ever been confirmed this close to an election. This is unprecedented. In the past, congress did try to keep the court out of the election, and it is remarkable to see republicans here almost shying away from one of the great achievements in the history of the Republican Party. They have been trying for 50 years to take control of the court to overturn roe v. Wade and other things like that, and in this hearing you already hear republicans say, we dont know how she would vote. We cant say, and its an outrage to even presume, when that has been the Republican Party goal for decades. It is disingenuous to say the least, but they have the votes. They do have the votes. Terry moran, as you point out, i want to bring in mary bruce our, our congressional correspondent. Shes following the white house during the campaign trail and the debates. You heard a Ranking Member senator feinstein get right to it, and this was expected that democrats would talk at length about the Affordable Care act. Senator feinstein saying the stakes are enormous. Most importantly Health Care Coverage for millions of americans at stake. Of course, we know the Supreme Court will take up that case, texas v. California. About a week after the election, Affordable Care act, coverage for preexisting conditions for millions at stake, and theyre pointing to what judge barrett has said previously about this, and in particular, her critique of chief justice john roberts. Reporter david, democrats here do not have any power to stop her from being confirmed. So instead, over and over again, you heard them arguing what is at stake here, and they argue the Biggest Issue on the line is health care. You heard many of the senators theyre using stories of their constituents to put a face to this debate, arguing what americans could lose if obamacare is dismantled and of course, the court is set to hear one week after the election, a case that could invalidate the law. Republicans say they will protect people with preexisting conditions, but they do not have a plan yet to do so. They have said they will put forth a plan, but we are waiting to see any of these details, and so democrats in many ways, you see them making this a lot more about the election in some ways than actually about Amy Coney Barrett herself arguing that obamacare and health care for millions of americans is on the line in this decision. Mary bruce, our thanks to you as well. Cecilia vega, our senior White House Correspondent also following the hearing along with us this morning. Cecilia, somewhat of a political gamble here given that we will hear this drum beat over the Affordable Care act, whether or not coverage for preexisting conditions for millions of americans could be at stake. Well hear that every day between now and the election. President trump has made it clear he hopes this energizes a key part of his base. Reporter this is a bit of a head scratcher because he says republicans are giving democrats a great deal of time. Hes basically saying they need to hurry up and do away with the theatrics and he wants them to focus on the stimulus, but youll remember just a few days ago, he told his team that was negotiating on capitol hill to abruptly end negotiations and focus on approving his nominee to the Supreme Court there which were now seeing today. Look. The Trump Campaign and President Trump himself are hoping that what were seeing today and well see over the rest of the week will be a little bit of a reset for his campaign because he certainly needs one just three weeks out from election day as we are seeing that he is trailing in so many polls, particularly over his handling of the coronavirus and americans overwhelmingly distressed about what he has said about the coronavirus and his handling of it. When it comes to evangelicals, and voters himself, and on the issue of abortion, and this will be a big one for them, and this will be a chance for the president. He would see it cement his legacy as its a conservative majority. You said it at the outset of this, this is no longer about a debate over whether Amy Coney Barrett is the right person. Lindsey graham said it himself. This is not about persuading each other. The lines have already been drawn in the sand here. Deeply partisan, and the fact the latest abc News Washington post poll shows that the majority of americans believe this should wait until after the election, until the American People have had their say. Particularly given the fact that voting is already under way in this country. I want to bring in dan abrams, owe chief legal analyst because dan, as i mentioned earlier, just extraordinary to watch a nominee sit with a mask on, and reflect this moment in a country. We will hear from her later today, and as you and i have said before, these nominees are often heavily coached. She knows how partisan this is, and she also knows people will be watching her every word particularly when it comes to roe v. Wade and the Affordable Care act. She is going to start by talking about her personal story, about her faith. She will certainly talk about the rule of law, her respect for the Supreme Court. I expect shell talk about her respect for precedent, whats called existing Supreme Court law, but when asked specifically about roe v. Wade for the Affordable Care act, she will simply say it would be improper for her to answer any questions about a case that could be before her, and that is consistent with what weve seen from other Supreme Court nominees in recent history. They are coached. They are trained, but the goal is, do not make news. Stay away from the controversial topics, and so it will certainly be better for her to be seen as not answering certain questions than it would to be answering them and potentially creating a controversy. In the end, this is political theater, sort of disguised as a legal evaluation, and we have to remember that as were watching all of this. Political theater as dan abrams points out. Given the fact we are 22 days out from election day. Lets bring in sunny hostin as well. As dan points out, judge barrett will be extremely careful in her Opening Statement today. The questioning expected to begin tomorrow, but they are on a fast track here to name her to the Supreme Court, and as you heard senator Lindsey Graham, the chairman of this committee saying earlier this morning he fully expects confirmation to happen before election day. Well, they do have the votes and so theres no question that she will be confirmed to the court. I think whats very interesting is many people thought they would hear a lot more about roe v. Wade, but what we are hearing about over and over again is the Affordable Care act, and that is because were in the middle of a Global Pandemic and 74 of voters want the senate to take on covid19 relief before this hearing, and this confirmation, and so i think what we are learning then that because of the Global Pandemic, the case challenging the Affordable Care act thats going to be heard november 10th is probably going to be the most important case in the 2021 Supreme Court session, and that is why you are hearing so many of the senators going back to the Affordable Care act, and what perhaps barretts confirmation means to the Affordable Care act. Sunny hostin with us. Well be watching on the view in a little bit. Sunny, our thanks to you. Amy Coney Barrett sitting there with her mask on at the capitol here this morning. She is 48 years old, a mother of seven. Her children accompanied her to capitol hill this morning. We saw images of them earlier. She had been a law professor at notre dame for 15 years before the president nominated her to the 7th Circuit Court of appeals. She was confirmed 5543 at the time, but the vote is expected to be far more partisan as we near election day, though they do have the votes as we have pointed out here this morning. Were going to continue to follow this hearing all day long on abc newslive, and a complete team coverage. Our report on world news tonight a bit later today. Ill see same 2016 playbook that the American People that the American People rejected. Amy . Trail of destruction down south. Lets go to ginger with the very latest on that and where this storm is heading next. Good morning, ginger. Reporter good morning, amy.

Reportedly looking to increase the availability of covid tests and reopen flights between new york and london. Our transportation correspondent gio benitez is at new Yorks Laguardia airport. A lot of people wanting this for a while. Gio, this could come just in times for the holidays . Reporter amy, this is in the early stages, but right now some airports are offering up their own testing. This morning, a push to reopen travel between new york and london possibly before the holidays. Airline executives tell abc news are working with federal authorities on creating an air bridge between the two cities where travelers would be tested before flying it. It will be a great way to open the borders and the economy. Reporter this as Tampa International airport becomes the first in the nation to offer covid tests to all travels. No matter where theyre going. Weve done about 80 people a day. Our peak day was about 140 people on one day. Reporter airports and Airlines Hope testing could get more people in the air. But now, the big question which test should we be using . Were still looking for that holy grail in testing which is highly accurate, highly sensitive, but the sensitivity doesnt last weeks or months, is cheap and has a rapid turnaround time. Reporter experts say the Gold Standard is the pcr. It looks at the genetic material of the virus, making it highly accurate, but more expensive with longer wait times for results, taking on average two to three days assuming theres no backlog. You can detect dead virus for months after a patient has recovered. Reporter tests right now only detect if you have virus particles in your system, not whether or not youre contagious. The antigen test, often called a rapid test, is a newer test that looks at proteins on the outside of the virus. It doesnt have to be shipped off to a lab. Turnaround time is as fast as 15 minutes. The turnaround time is quick, 15 minutes. Its inexpensive. It can be done at a point of care. Reporter dr. Ellerin says these tests arent super sensitive and dont pick up patients with a low amount of virus in their systems. As for testing at home, a majority of those tests are nose swabs but some labs have authorized saliva screenings. The nba is part of the group to use them. Its a lot better than the qtip up your nose. Reporter now when it comes to airport testing right now, its optional. Youll have to pay for it out of pocket. In tampa the rapid test costs about 60 bucks, the pcr 120. T. J. . All right, gio, thank you so much for that. We want to turn to an alleged murder for hire plot. Police have now arrested a woman and two 17yearolds in connection with an attack on her exhusband who was shot nine times in front of his home in july. He survived and is speaking out this morning saying hes not surprised by the arrest. Our eva pilgrim joins us with more on this bizarre story. Good morning, eva. Reporter good morning, t. J. This is a crazy story. From the day that barron lee was gunned down he says there was only one person in his mind that he thought was responsible for this. This morning, his exwife is expected to be charged for trying to have him killed. An alleged murder for hire plot exposed. This morning, sharon kelly waking up behind bars after allegedly offering a 17yearold thousands of dollars to kill her exhusband. I looked to the right and i saw somebody in a mask running towards me. Reporter barron lee says hes been embroiled in a bitter custody battle with his exwife. In july, police say a 17yearold gunman shot at him ten times, nine bullets hitting him in the legislation, arms and chest. I was three feet away from my car. I heard a pop. So i looked to the left. I didnt see anybody. Then i heard another one. At the same time i looked right, but i ended up dropping my keys. I had been hit in my right arm. Reporter police say the gunman shot lee at pointblank range, but he survived. Police say Surveillance Video near the scene. According to this document the shooter offered to pay the driver, another 17yearold between 4,000 and 6,000 for driving the vehicle.

The alleged suspects went to the vehicle. Looked underneath and there was the gps tracker. Reporter this morning, hes grateful he survived and is still here to raise his family. I dont think theres many people shot as many times as i have and sitting here talking and breathing. Appreciate that. Reporter and kelly is expected to appear in court later this week.

To me through clothes ive been able to find myself and be more confident in myself as a young woman and being in more positions of power, more creative positions, and i hope to continue to be able to do that until this industry reflects the beauty i get to see every day. And she is a beauty. Showing her commitment to ecofriendly clothing by wearing a vintage versace dress. I say that in air quotes. Its from 1996, the same year zendaya was born. Yes. And another good thing in 2020, reba mcetire found love in the midst of the pandemic. She opened up on her podcast, living and learning with reba mcentire, she talks about the new man in her life. Take a listen. Are you saying youre dating someone . Yeah, i am. Very, very sweetheart of a guy, rex lynn. Weve been talking during the pandemic. Hes very into my music. Im very into his career. Its just great getting to talk to somebody who i find very interesting, very funny, very smart and is interested in me too. I think theyre very into each other. I heard about four verys. Thats always a good sign. The couple met in january, just before quarantine. Facetiming a great way to really get to know each other. Fans discovered this picture youre seeing right now.

This morning, were hearing from the teams dynamic duo of lebron and a. D. , Anthony Davis. Rachel nichols has been in that bubble, sat down with them exclusively. Its been a heck of a ride. Its about time to get out of that bubble, but what a ride its been for the nba and all the teams that got into that bubble. Good morning, rachel. Reporter good morning, t. J. Absolutely. Winning a championship any year is tremendously difficult. But for this team, this year, this lakers squad that began 2020 reeling from the tragic death of kobe bryant and his daughter gianna, its remarkable. The nba bubble is a miracle of science. They didnt have a Single Player with a positive test in three months. But its also very isolating and grueling and in a lot of ways, surviving it all made this title that much sweeter. Every playoff journey is incredibly hard to get to this moment. How much did this one feel like survival of the fittest . You got it right. Its survival of the fittest. Kwhofr could i feel like keep the main thing the main thing. Keep the focus on what you were here for once you stepped on the floor. We were going to survive. For us it makes the outcome much more sweeter. You dropped hints here and there. We can be honest with america now, this was very hard. There were nights and days i know for you where you were thinking through what was worth it. Can you explain what some of those moments were like . When youre a guy who loves his family and does it for the family, you have moments where you question, is it worth being away from your family like this . That is why we were always together. I had my family here, but before it was we are each others family, the entire team. Yep. We stayed in each others room playing video games, doing whatever we can to stay together. We knew it was going to be tough. We wanted to make sure we had each others backs. You said i heard my whole career be more like him. Him is of course michael jordan. This title will reignite all those debates. Do you see yourself at the center of that discussion . Do you think with the way you have won these titles youve gone off on your own separate trajectory . Thats not for me to question or wonder or debate. I mean, thats what you guys will do. More importantly, at the end of my career i hope i made a lot of people proud for the way i approached the game. I know, but then you said on that stage earlier, give me my damn respect. What did that mean . For sure. There are people that still doubt me even at this point in my career. Theyll continue to do that. As long as i put on a uniform. At the end of the day if im making anthony and my other 13 teammates proud, nothing else matters. Im from chicago, so i like jordan. All i can say is its a tough debate. You really got to we got to speak facts. He definitely made a case for himself by winning this championship tonight. To get three championships with three different franchises, fourth final mvp. Four championships. Dont gas me. Dont gas me. He different. Reporter you can see the relationship between Anthony Davis and lebron is really genuine and really sweet. Theyve actually known each other for a really long time. A. D. Was still in high school when he took his very first solo Greyhound Bus ride from chicago to ohio to go to one of lebrons basketball camps. He caught lebrons eye. Lebron became a mentor to him while anthony was in college. They played on the 2012 olympic team together. Eight years later theyre teammates in the nba and theyre champions. Congrats to them and the rest of the nba and to you all, rachel. A lot of journalists have been in the bubble and away from folks for quite some time. Rachel, great, great job. Looking forward to having you out of the bubble. I like how they had to do the math there at the end. Catch up with you guys soon. I like how they had to do the math there at the end. Four championships, three teams. Wait a minute. Great win for the lakers. Great for the city. We turn now to simon cowell fighting off reports he had been bedridden for months. The americas got talent judge is recovering from a broken back after that nasty ebike crash in august. Adrienne bankert has the latest. Reporter reports that simon cowell is up on his feet up and walking just after two months of that accident. Youve turned into a cow. Reporter a close source tells abc news the americas got talent judge is making progress, walking up to 10,000 steps a day and even swimming. The rehab is patient dependent. Patients ask me, should i end up in bed or walk or be active . The short end of this is that the more active you are, the better off you are. Reporter in august, cowell fell off his ebike in the courtyard of his malibu home undergoing a fivehour surgery to place a metal rod in his spine. For this level of surgery i would expect the first three months to be the hardest. That doesnt mean stay at home and stay in bed. You should get up and walk about 15 minutes once or twice a day, as much as you can tolerate, during the first week or two and then start increasing your activity level. Were not helping you. Shut up. Reporter cowell famous for his candor is resilient. Britains got talent costar Amanda Hamilton says his will and determination to get better is inspiring. There were also reports that cowell missed by one centimeter severing his spinal cord. Which would have led to him being paralyzed. Thank goodness thats not the case. Im sure hes practicing a lot of gratitude now. Something we called use more of. Whit . Adrienne, thank you so much. Time now to head to ginger. Ginger, good morning once again. Reporter good morning, whit. I want to send you to colorado where one of the dozens of wildfires still burning, the middle fork fire, and it can be seen from steamboat there.

This morning, we have an inside look at one Hospital Organization that is taking major steps to make big changes when it comes to treating patients of color. Janai norman is at mt. Sinai hospital in new york. With more on this new ishtive. Good morning, janai. Reporter experts point to significant disparities for black and brown americans. All of that helped jump start an initiative here at new yorks mt. Sinai hospital. You may feel discomfort today. I encourage you to be curious about that discomfort and perhaps lean into that. Reporter theyre called chats for change. Frank and frankly Uncomfortable Conversations about racial bias in medicine. When you ask doctors, theyll say i treat all my patients the same. I really dont understand why there are health care disparities. Its because you dont. Im seen as someone who has more authority or has more training than i do. Racial bias is at play every day. Reporter theyre part of the icahn school of medicine. A first of its kind program launched in 2015 with a lofty Mission Statement to provide health care and education thats free of racism and bias. Free of racism and bias, thats a huge undertaking. How do you think that you go about that . Thats obviously not an end goal as much as a continuation, right . Thats exactly right. We had to set a goal that would be clear it was a never ending endeavor. Its people and the actual structure of medical school. What are the ways we set up conditions that either knowingly or unknowingly perpetuate racism. We cant afford not to address it headon. Reporter racial bias is pervasive in the way it impacts the care of people of color. Devastating and potentially fatal ways. One study showed black and brown americans wait longer for care in the e. R. Than white people. According to the cdc, black babies have a higher rate of dying in their first year of life compared to white babies. Another study finding black americans are undertreated for pain compared to white americans. Traumatizing. How do you trust a system thats ready to send you home because for whatever reason they dont want to hear you . Reporter in 2017, Camilla Mitchell said she was in the emergency room for eight hours, even given a breathalyzer before getting treatment. I always tell people the Healthcare System was not designed for black women in mind. One of the fathers of gynecology actually performed surgeries on slaves with their masters consent. Theres a long history of mistrust that go back centuries. How do you help an Initiative Like this can help improve that . Its focused on changing us, who we are, how we function, how do we recruit new scientists and doctors. How do we make decisions about resource allocation . Theres a lot of work going on now that i think is super important around racism and medicine and what are the new innovations we can come up with. Reporter the program was launched by medical students wanting to address the problem. Officials say that this has helped create a sense of belonging for students who want to tackle racism head on.

Im using Apple Cider Vinegar, apple cider, apple cider syrup, all things fall. The chipotle is a chili thats already smoked. It gives a Little Smokey flavor. You can buy the chipotle whole as i did and i ground them in a spice grinder with coriander seed. Or you can buy the chipotle powder as well. This is a simple rub of chipotle, salt and coriander. Nancy, keep cooking and walking us through it. We really smell the balsamic vinegar as well. Tell us how thats a nice compliment to the syrup youre highlighting. The balsamic vinegar is in there because of the color. But im using Apple Cider Vinegar and apple cider itself in my reduction and then, the balsamic is there for the color because if youre going to use straight apple cider syrup, such as this, you can see its a very dark syrupy color. So thats what that vinegar is in there for the balsamic. This takes about 35, 40 minutes to reduce. So im going to get that reducing. This is before im starting my pork. Then im going to go ahead and do my onions. The onions im cooking in Apple Cider Vinegar. And im also going to add its not in the recipe but if youre as lucky as i am to have rosemary growing in your garden and to have bay leaves, go ahead and add those. It will give it a great, great smell. Look at me. Im fighting with my see that happens to me all the time. Its not just my oven. Its not just your stove. Couple bay leaves in there. Get those onions in there cooking. So the onions are we cook them until theyre softened. The onions are cooking. Nancy, im curious, the meat, you put the rub in. What do you do with the meat now . Okay, so the meat ive had out for about half an hour, 40 minutes, just to come up to temperature. Therefore i know that when i cook it and i like to cook my pork just slightly pink. It wont be cold in the center. So these have been sitting out. Nancy, forgive us. Were out of time. Were eating the food and enjoying it. You can get the recipe on our website. The book is available tomorrow. Thank you so much. Ginger, over to you. Next time i get delivery, right .

Warmer from 70 at the coast. 80s for the rest was us. 90s on the way. Record highs possible. Mike, thank you.
