KCRG Good Morning America August 31, 2016

Hourslong standoff with police. A beauty queen accuses him of pointing a gun at her face. Hes holding a gun to me. The frantic 911 calls and the troubled stars defiant video messages. What really happened inside his home. And good morning, america. A lot to get to this wednesday morning. Those coastal waters off florida on watch for a hurricane. And as we head weekend, take a look at these new images coming from colorado. Major flash flood, heavy thunderstorms moving through the area and ginger is tracking all the latest coming up. Ginger and her baby tracking all the latest weather. Thats right. The race for the white house. That surprise from donald trump announcing overnight hell meet with mexicos president today then that big speech on immigration tonight in arizona. Abcs tom llamas here with all the latest. Good morning. Good morning to you guys. Mexicos president invited both mexico and donald trump said, im in. The trip coming on the same day he is set to deliver a major address on immigration. Overnight, donald trump announcing his plan to cross the border tweeting, i have accepted the invitation of president Enrique Pena Nieto of mexico and look very much forward to meeting him tomorrow. That olive branch coming after more than a year of trump railing against undocumented theyre bringing drugs. Theyre bringing crime. Theyre rapists. Reporter and his continued promise to build a wall on the southern border and make mexico pay for it. That caused the countrys former president , vicente fox, to say this. Im not going to pay for that [ bleep ] wall. He should pay for it. Hes got the money. Reporter todays meeting set to take place hours before trumps major immigration speech where the candidate plans to clear up what critics call a flipflop when it comes to deporting 11 million we are also going to secure our border and stop the drugs from pouring in and destroying our country. Reporter and while parts of his message have been consistent. Theres going to be a big wall. Its going to be a real wall. Its going to be as beautiful as a wall can be. Reporter he no longer talks about a deportation force. During the primaries he was clear about what he wanted to do with all undocumented immigrants. If youre illegal, you got to go back. You have people that have been here a long time but they got to go back. Reporter overnight, donald trump jr. Saying his dad wasnt waffling. He wasnt softening on anything. He didnt change his statnce on anything. What he did and what hes done all along hes speaking with the people. Reporter now, as we mentioned, Hillary Clinton was to meeting with mexicos president but her campaign put out this statement about trumps trip, saying what ultimately matters is what donald trump says to voters in arizona, not mexico, and whether he remains committed to the splitting up of families and deportation of millions. Yeah, tom, theyve hit on the key question for the speech tonight in arizona. Trump was a bit inconsistent last week talking about the deportation and there is still a tussle inside his camp about what hes going to say. Reporter thats right, i spoke to a senior aide this morning. Going call for a physical wall on the southern border and call for an everify system with employers and roll back anything regarding executive actions. When i asked about the undocumented immigrants theyre leaving that up to mr. Trump. They want people to tune in to the speech. Lets talk about it with matthew dowd. Donald trump, full of surprises. This trip to mexico. I think this is the definition of high risk, high reward. Absolutely. I remember my own trips across the border they have all been high risk, high reward when you if successful and he comes out of it i dont think hell have the president put the wall on layaway when he leaves there but, if hes successful he comes across and voters say, even though he says all this stuff and hes erratic, he actually can be a leader. If hes well received. Good photoop. The risk, what does the mexican president say . Thats going to be a huge question. Meantime, a new poll out this morning showing some surprising slump for Hillary Clinton. Her unfavorable numbers, lets show it, 59 basically on a par now with donald trump. These two candidates, i mean, her numbers have basically gone right back to where they were before the convention. Right back. These are the two most disliked candidates weve ever seen. Its as if the voters are given this choice. You have to drive across the country. You have a twice between a 25yearoldsmobile with no airconditioning and only goes 30 miles an hour or private plane whose pilot may be erratic and whose landing gear may not not much of a choice. There were a couple of elections, primary elections. John mccain, marco rubio, both in the senate, both have been outspoken about their differences with donald trump, not saying even though they still say theyll support him. Both beat back challengers. Trump minimes. I think john mccains was way closer. Marco rubio won in a very big landslide but both have contested races in a general election that they both could lose in the course of because of these primary fights. How play off interesting to see over the next two months. Matt dowd, thanks very much. All right, george, thanks so much. Now to that major tropical threat the waters off florida facing a Tropical Storm warning as that depression in the atlantic threatens the gulf coast and hawaii now facing two hurricanes. Ginger has her hands full not only with adrian behind the wall. So lets go ahead and get straight to it. That storm weve been following and following. It should become a Tropical Storm later today. Thats why we have a hurricane watch for the waters. Tropical storm warning from north of tampa to tallahassee all the way to panama city. The timing of this is important. It is later thursday, through the morning of friday. For the landfall of this storm. So were watching the track there take it. The impacts would be five to ten inches of rain, 15 inches max. Two to four feet of storm surge in some spots and of course Tropical Stormforce winds, then we go to the pacific, why we have so much going on. Madeline churning, lester churning. Thats why we have our Neal Karlinsky there on hurricane warning this morning. Reporter ginger, good morning. Weve already been getting hit with intermittent rain and you can see they started boarding up the buildings in hilo, hawaii, very unusual behavior for the Hawaiian Islands and they are expecting possibly 25foot wave, flooding here as a result. The timing is a little tricky. They think later today into tomorrow morning and, as a result, theyve shut down all of the schools here today and also closed the port here in hilo, and making matters worse as you say yet another hurricane lester is right on its heels. That would be unprecedented if that hits in a couple of days, two of them here in hawaii. Neal, i have friends on the big island and have been evacuated from their hotel moving to a new hotel on a different island and tt its late tonight through early tomorrow and thats when youll feel the impacts. Lester comes late week through the weekend so busy now and well be busy later. A lot more coming up. Amy and george. I would have never guessed they hadnt been hit before by hurricanes. And now almost twice. A Big Development in the fight against isis. With the groups website announcing the death of its top leader, Martha Raddatz tracking it from washington. This man, Abu Mohammad Al adnani was a double threat. He was one of the founders of in the organization who was not only a spokesman for the terrorist group but the man responsible for organizing attacks against westerners. He is tied to the deadly attacks in paris and brussels and he is the man who called out to lone wolves worldwide urging isis sympathizers to take up whatever weapons they could find knife, rocks, vehicles against americans or western allies and kill them wherever they are. The u. S. Confirms al adnani was the intended target of a precis and it was, as you say, the Islamic State that announced his death. Weve seen so many attacks like this against the leaders of isis and the leaders of al qaeda, as well. The big question is ouch difference do they make . Well, the u. S. Had put a 5 million price tag on his head. He was the number two in the organization, thats how important the u. S. Viewed his role so it is very significant but there will no doubt be someone who moves to take his place and weve seen in the past that men like al adnani can inspire attacks even after okay, Martha Raddatz, thanks. All right, now to that dangerous air scare. A flight taking off from texas encountering severe turbulence overnight forced to make an Emergency Landing in ireland. Passengers rushed to the hospital and Abcs David Kerley has the latest now from Reagan National airport. Good morning, david. Reporter good morning, amy. That jet was nearing the British Isles when it hit this unexpected turbulence injuring several passengers and crew members. Now, this flight originated in 223 people on board. It was supposed to be a direct flight to london but the flight tracking site flight aware shows that several hundred miles out the jet hits turbulence and the pilot calls out to head to Shannon Airport to make an Emergency Landing in ireland. On the ground emergency crews were waiting. A lot of people were treated. A dozen people, nine adults and three children, amy, were taken to the hospital for treatment. Do we have any word on the reporter yeah, actually they were pretty minor injuries and 11 of them were released and authorities in ireland were getting them back to the airport so they could get on the plane and make that hop from shannon to heathrow and finish the flight. Were going to get the latest now on maines Governor Paul Lepage is under pressure over comments many called racist, also a voice mail filled with profanity he left for one of his critics in the legislature and seemed to suggest he might resign then abcs david wright is here with the latest. Reporter good morning, george. Some mixed messages for sure. Today lepage is due to meet with the democratic lawmaker he challenged to a duel. No duel expected but you never know. Under fire for his racially charged rhetoric, the maine governor gave a radio interview in which he did not rule out resigning. Im looking at all options. Im not going to say that im not going to finish it. Im not saying that i am going critics started to celebrate, he dumped the twitter equivalent of cold water tweeting, to paraphrase mark twain the reports of my little demise are greatly exaggerated. The governor who is a favorite of donald trumps. He is a very talented guy. Hes also a great person. Reporter made a series of racially crged remarks. Black people come up the highway and they kill mainers. Reporter blaming people of color for their drug and crime people. Half the time they impregnate a young white girl before they leave. Reporter after democratic lawmaker called lepage out, i didnt call him a racist. Reporter the governor left him an expletiveladen voice mail. I want you to prove that im a racist. I have spent my life helping black people and you little [ expletive ] socialist [ expletive ]. Reporter and threatened him to a duel. Id point it right between his eyes because he is a governor was contrite about his remarks toward that lawmaker. Today they meet and lepage is expected to offer apologies. Theyre taking that hamilton thing way too seriously. Now to new yorks hudson river, a commuter ferry slamming into a group of kayakers throwing some of them into the river, critically injuring two. Abcs gio benitez is on the scene with the latest. Good morning, gio. Reporter amy, good morning to you. In the summer people love to kayak on the hudson river to watch that sunset. Watch nightfall.

Gio, thanks so much. Well, now to frightening moments at a gas station in connecticut. Take a look as a driver backs into one of the pumps knocking it over and then sparking a fire that quickly engulfs two vehicles, one of the cars had two children in the backseat. A woman on the other side of the pump quickly ran in and was able to pull the kids to safety just in time. They were not injured.
