hillary's religion and why he thinks clinton is unelectable. >> she has a bad temperament. she would do so badly with the economy. >> it all comes after hillary clinton launches her own new offensive to take down trump. midair meltdown. movie starzl ma blair apologizing this morning after being forced to leave an a stretcher following a bizarre rant that frightened fellow passengers. how the "the people v. o.j. simpson" star is explaining her strange behavior. and good morning, america. a lot of news to get to this morning including, david, your one-on-one with donald trump. >> i spoke to him before his big speech later today and takes on hillary clinton's accusations that she says not only should his finger not be on the button but shouldn't have his hands on our economy. how he responds to that. but we begin with the severe weather alert for so many. ripping through the northeast. millions in the bull's-eye in the midwest right now and unfortunately ginger, you say the worst could still be on the way. >> absolutely. three rounds that we're going to be talking about. severe thunderstorm warnings and watches in parts of illinois moving into indiana at this hour as we look at the radar. but there were more than 125 severe storm report, montana to delaware. >> oh, my god. >> reporter: dangerous storms lacerating roofs on the jersey shore. tossing them into the atlantic. >> oh. >> reporter: gusts reaching 80 miles per hour. hail pelting cars. and in the nation's capital, flash flooding sending water cascading down an escalator at this d.c. metro station. people trekked through the flooded underground carefully making their way up the steps. in maryland, a an almost 13-mile path. >> it was horrible. everything turned black and we just seen the trees going left and right. >> reporter: storm s uprooting trees, tossing them onto cars and into homes leaving them without power. the threat is on along that warm front and that area in red is the moderate risk that something we don't see that often throughout the year so certainly heavier north and west of chicago for tornadoes and then into ft. wayne all the way just north and west of cincinnati you can see damaging winds of 60 plus miles per hour and i want to time it out. you saw the storms happening now. take it to noon, chicago with another hit, right there north of indianapolis and finally just after drive time in chicago or around that time the low passes by and that's when you have the potential for that spin and, therefore, tornadoes so a lot of threats for today including that hail, the damaging wind all for that part right around the great lakes. we'll keep up with it. >> thanks, ginger. in the meantime, we turn to the wildfires raining across seven states this morning. the ere flames, residents now being forced to leave their homes as firefighters fight to protect people and their property, as those fires spread. abc's matt gutman has been on the front lines all week long and in duarte, california, this morning. hey, matt. >> reporter: that's right. and this fire continues to spread. in the past hour we've been here we've seen it make a run in that valley. now these fire service fire trucks have been here to block it in case it leaps into the neighborhoods around us. normally at night the fire subsides but because it's been so hot here in the brush, so dry, this just continues to burn. this morning, hundreds of firefighters and squadrons of choppers continue to battle infernos out west. the dangerous heat still fueling more than a dozen wildfires burning in seven states. >> we're a little short on resources because of the fire up north and the fire down south but we are getting resources in as we speak. >> reporter: as air assets treetops just over the leaping flames nearly 600 firefighters grind it out on the ground against twin fires burning just outside of los angeles. the blaze is threatening to merge into one. we watched as this crew labored for an hour trying to cut its way just a few jars up a hill. >> firefighters are telling me they're battling this incredibly steep terrain. they're also fighting the heat and some of this brush here hasn't burned in decades. more than that, they've got to cut through all of this cactus. the blaze chewing up more than 5,000 acres. >> mandatory evacuations. >> reporter: forcing officials to order mandatory evacuations to almost 800 residents. >> last night was really scary. feels like it's just coming straight out at us. >> reporter: this woman's house burned down in 1980 and is now packing into her minivan that which was most precious to her. her three kids. now, no word on when those evacuees might be into their homes, partly because this fire is only 10% contained but perhaps a small glimmer of good news on the horizon, the forecast is supposed to be only in the 90s over the next couple of day, not in the 100s, amy. >> all right, matt gutman, thank you for that reporting. we appreciate it. turning now to politics and hillary clinton's blistering attack on donald trump. who then blasted the presumptive democratic nominee right back. abc's cecilia vega is in cincinnati, ohio, with more on that. good morning to you, cecilia. >> reporter: amy, good morning to you. hillary clinton says donald trump could send this country back into a recession if he's elected and she's got another big speech planned today where she'll try to convince voters that she is the better choice for the economy. but there are dueling speeches in the works, donald trump has a big attack planned too. hillary clinton's latest attack hitting her billionaire businessman rival where it hurts, in the wallet. >> we can't let him bankrupt america like we are one of his failed casinos. of ohio -- >> all: hillary, hillary. >> reporter: clinton delivering one of her longest speeches yet, 45 minutes of donald trump bashing. >> he's written a lot of books about business, they all seem to end at chapter 11. [ laughter ] >> reporter: from his businesses to his refusal to release his taxes. >> you have to ask yourself, what's he afraid of? maybe that we'll learn he hasn't paid taxes on his huge income or maybe he isn't as rich as he claims. >> reporter: and trump giving it right back from instagram -- >> hillary clinton's only right about one thing, i understand debt and how to handle it. i've made a fortune with debt but debt for this country is a disaster and obama has piled it on and she's been there watching. >> reporter: to twitter saying how can hillary run the economy when she can't even send e-mails without putting the entire nation at risk? gloves are off. >> just like he shouldn't have his finger on the button, he shouldn't have his hands on our economy. [ cheers and applause ] >> reporter: yeah, those attacks are flying and trump's big speech today is expected to hit on even more fronts from benghazi to donations made to the clinton foundation, but, david, the clinton campaign says they are not worried about this. >> yes, i think the general election campaign has been launched. cecilia, thanks. now my one-on-one with donald trump right after clinton's attacks among them bankrupting companies and asked trump whether average americans were hurt by that, plus, as trump takes aim at clinton later today he is weighing in on her faith and personal attacks as we ask is there anything off the table for trump going after the clintons. hillary clinton said of you that just like he shouldn't have his finger on the button, he shouldn't have his hands on our economy. >> i heard what she said. i built a great, great company. it's worth tens of -- i mean, it's jt company. some of the greatest assets in the world including with what we're sitting on right here. she has a bad temperament. she would do so badly with the economy. >> she pointed to something that you have said out in the campaign trail saying i'm going to do for the country what i've done for business. but then she argued that you intentionally ran up huge amounts of debt. you bankrupted your companies not once but four types and that hundreds of jobs were lost. how are you going to respond to clinton and were average americans affected in any way by these? >> what i've done is i've used brilliantly the laws of the country and not personally just corporate and if you look at people like myself that are at the highest levels of business they've used many of them have done it many, many times. >> did any average americans pay the price. >> i'm running a business, you have to understand for my company, my employees and for my family. >> reporter: his newest fund-raising numbers dwarfed by clinton's. are you going self -- >> i may. >> let me ask you about something else regarding hillary clinton in the last 24 hour, you have brought up her religion. saying we don't know anything about hillary in terms of religion. >> i don't know much about her, no. >> what would you like to know that you don't know -- >> nothing -- whatever it is, i just don't know. somebody asked me the question -- i didn't bring it up. i said, i don't know much about her religion. >> reporter: lastly we asked about his speech later today. you will take on hillary clinton. in recent days i did sit down with secretary clinton and i asked her what will be off limits for her in going after you? your marriages, your personal life. she said that she will not answer personal attacks that she will run a campaign based on the issues that voters most care about so the same question for you. what will be off-limits for you in going -- >> i know why she says that and i think that's fine. that's more for her to say that i hit bill a couple of times because once he's in the campaign, you know, if he's in the campaign i guess he deserves to be hit rather have it based on issues and policy. i think we win on issues and policy. >> reporter: and trump telling me despite hillary clinton gaining nationally in the polls he says watch ohio and pennsylvania. crucial battleground states where he points out it's still tied confident there. let's bring in jonathan karl. because you heard donald trump say if bill clinton is on the trail both are fair game. he didn't sound like anything is off the table. what do you expect today. >> this will be the kitchen sink speech. he will go after hillary on everything, benghazi, the e-mails, the donations to the clinton foundation, i don't expect that he will go at the bill clinton personal stuff but will certainly go after bill clinton's record on trade, trade is essential to his campaign and sensitive to a lot of democrats. he will hit that hard. >> i asked if he will self-fund in the general election. he said he might. he raised, what, 3 million in may compared to romney raising 23 million, john mccain raising 20 million. he's up against hillary who's raised even more. are there changes coming. >> they insist this will be a they will have to raise a heck of a lot more money. look at the numbers here, dave. this is astounding. hillary clinton has 684 staffers. he has 70. if you look at the money, you mentioned hillary clinton's raised 25 million in may. he, 3 million. he only has a million in the bank. here's the one i love. look at this. ad spending so far in the general election. 138 million for clinton in the super pacs, $363,000 for donald trump and that's just his super pac. he hasn't spent a dime on advertising. now he won the primary on the cheap. it's a lot harder to win a general election that way. >> in the meantime, clinton is trying to combine that spending on battleground ads with the speeches, are they landing, though? >> well, this speech that she gave yesterday about his business record is a much harder case to make. he's a guy that runs around flying around with an airplane with his name on it. hard to say he was an unsuccessful businessman but that is the case they'll be trying to make. >> jon karl with ushgsz jon, thanks as always. amy. >> we turn to the very latest on the arrest of a teen from indiana who his way to join isis overseas and may have planned to launch attacks right here at home. abc's pierre thomas joins us with those chilling details. pierre, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, amy. fbi agents arrested akram musleh as he tried to go on a bus to new york city en route to join isis. he claims musleh is a di signof long dead anwar al awlaki and had been recently shopping for a pressure cooker like that used in the boston marathon bombings. prosecutors say he tried to recruit for isis and was conducting online searches for terror targets here at home, amy. >> and, pierre, it's hard to ignore that profile of musleh strikingly similar to the orlando killer. >> pledging alos angeles to isis, also disciple of anwar al awlaki. another example the fbi says of isis' reach inside the united states, amy. >> all right, pierre thomas, thanks for that in washington. we turn to another scary moment that alerted the allegedly packing an arsenal of weapons in their truck. it was all discovered just outside of a major tunnel into new york, the holland tum where we find abc's gio benitez this morning. good morning, gio. >> reporter: david, good morning to you. a truly unusual case happening right here at the entrance to that busy holland tunnel. it's the bizarre arrest at one of new york city's busiest tunnels with terrorism units on high alert the discovery of a distinctive truck filled with an arsenal of deadly weapon, seven gun, body armor, 2,000 rounds of ammunition. a military grade helmet. an officer initially stopping it because of a broken windshield. >> he had the driver exit the vehicle and when the driver got out, he noticed a 45 caliber handgun on the driver's seat. >> reporter: but this morning police say the three people from pennsylvania told the officers they didn't intend to har anyone. instead, they wanted to rescue someone. a 16-year-old girl who they say was in a new york drug den. the truck's owner john cramsey would calls himself a rebel on facebook and owns a gun range posting these photos before the arrest with this message. this young lady from wilkes-barre is scared and wants to come home. last night she woke to find her friend's body next to her in the same bed where her friend died of another heroin overdose. the mother of one of those arrested speaking with abc news overnight. >> they weren't going out to harm anybody. they were going out to save. >> reporter: cramsey's own daughter dying of an accidental drug overdose just four months ago. he posted this video of her on his facebook while grieving. >> it'll all get better. >> i think when he lost his daughter, it just kind of broke something inside of him and it sent him on a mission to help other families. >> reporter: this morning police say they have found the 16-year-old girl cramsey was looking for but she told them she does not need to be rescued. and we should tell you those guns were legally bought in pennsylvania but here in new jersey it is illegal to possess them so they've been charged for that and they'll face a judge later today. david. >> so much hardship in those families. horrible story all the way around. we get to lara. big very muches on a story we've been following all week. >> indeed. it is that daring rescue going on right now in the south pole. a small plane on the way to save a sick researcher braving dangerous conditions in one of the most remote places in the world. abc's alex marquardt has more from london. good morning, alex. >> reporter: good morning, lara. that's right, the plane's crew has landed at the south pole and is now preparing for the trip back out to the british research station that they took off from. they needed to rest for about ten hours, refuel the plane with specially warmed fuel and most critically wait for good weather. overnight, the small rescue plane the bottom of the world. a window of good weather allowing the turboprop twin otter to reach the american amundsen-scott research center where a crew member needs to be evacuated. a second person will likely come out too. the station so remote the flight so daring that just two evacuations like this have been attempted in 60 years. >> sort of the end of the earth, it is exciting to be there to start with, but then, of course, you know, you put in the variable of darkness and the extreme temperatures, you know, it makes it a bit more adventuresome. >> reporter: it's the middle of the antarctic winter, dark 24 hours a day and temperatures averaging minus 70 degrees. so cold the plane's fuel needs to be heated up. two twin otters flew from canada to chile to antarctica and one undertaking the final 1500 miles to the south pole. a bright moon helped the plane land on its skis snow but now the trip back out to the british station. >> everything is at the mercy of the weather. one minute it can be still and you think that the weather is fine. half an hour later it can be blowing 40 knots and you can be in a blizzard. >> there are teams of meteorologists at both the british and american stations carefully analyzing antarctica's weather systems to give that crew a green light. once they land they'll try to get the patient or both of the patients quickly onto the other plane and out of antarctica. >> all right. they're halfway there. >> halfway there. >> incredible story and from extreme cold to extreme heat, ginger has the latest on the heat wave till bearing down on the west. >> still there in the southwest, excessive heat warnings, palm springs, vegas, well above 110. 113, phoenix and could break record, kansas city to st. louis to des moines. and hail reports came in to the national weather service. the nws confirms one tornado, an ef0, in howard county. winds topped out at 80 mph. today will be much nicer! you can leave the umbrella at home with sunshine. it will be quite warm with highs soaring into the upper 80s, but the humidity will be noticeably lower. another round of strong to severe storms is possible

"20/20" anchor elizabeth vargas is here. >> angelika graswald is accused of killing vince viafore. there is no forensic evidence and no eyewitnesses. it rests almost entirely on graswald's words during an 11-hour taped interrogation and a conversation with the detective that was not recorded and happened before she was read her rights. a state police investigator is now testifying that angelika graswald admitted to him that she took her fiance's paddle after he capsized and held it whe the decorative also testified that during their 45-minute conversation, graswald said she felt trapped by viafore and wanted to be free of his demands of sex with him and another woman. but in graswald's 11-hour taped interrogation obtained by abc news she repeatedly denies killing her fiance and says her desperate calls to 911 were real. >> i don't see him. oh, my god. >> can you see the kayak still? >> no, the kayak went underwater. oh, my god. >> reporter: but after hours and hours of questions punctuated with yoga breaks and hopscotch, graswald does finally utter these damning words. >> i wanted him dead and now he's gone. and i'm okay with it. >> i'm okay with that. >> reporter: graswald spoke to me exclusively from jail. why would you say something like that? >> well, they kept asking me the same questions like a hundred times. i knew tha i was at my breaking point, i had it so i just gave them what they wanted. >> reporter: at the center of the case the kayak's drain plug. prosecutors claim graswald removed it causing the kayak to take on water and sink. >> why didn't he have that plug in there. >> he didn't have it because i guess i had it. >> reporter: this is the infamous plug. >> it is. >> that prosecutors say angelika removed in a plot to kill vince but this plug is, what, half an inch in diameter. >> just look at how large the cockpit is where the seat is. there's a lot of water that can enter that. that's a big hole. this is a really small hole. >> it's a tiny hole. our experiment shows that this kayaker had no trouble crossing the hudson in an identical kayak with the plug removed. did you remove the plug from vince's kayak with an intent to kill him? >> no. i did not. >> reporter: is under a gag order. >> she did not confess to killing vince viafore and there are many reasons why he died. my compliant removing that drain plug was not one of them. >> reporter: graswald who pleaded not guilty still maintains she did not kill viafore. did you kill vince? >> no. >> that day? >> no. i loved him. i didn't do it. >> reporter: those questions will be critical, those interrogation tapes and the judge will decide after five days of hearings whether to admit them. >> let's bring in dan abrams as well and talk about the pretrial hearing that is specifically about angelika's tapes to police, statements that are crucial. >> i think even the prosecutors would concede if they can't get in these statements they have no case. this is the case. these statements and there are two sets of statements. remember, there's first a statement that she makes before that interrogation you see on tape and that's the one where the authorities say she made even more incriminating statements and so you have a police officer basical she basically told me she did it. she told me why she did it, et cetera, but then when you get her on the interrogation tape she's not saying the sorts of things that the police officer saying she said the first time. >> and the detective keeps saying remember you told me, remember you told me and she's like, no. and also that statement that conversation that 45-minute conversation that was not recorded was also done before she was read her rights. >> i was going to ask is that the defense's argument to keep these out. >> that's the entire argument. effectively what the defense is aing is they knew she was already a suspect. they were there to effectively meet her so they could interrogate her and as a result, the defense says, she should have been read her miranda warning before she made this statement. the police are saying, no. we were there, she was not necessarily a suspect. it was only after she made those statements to us did she become a suspect and then they did read her her miranda rights before the taped interrogation. >> although 's called in this hearing that just concluded testified that she went over three times on bannerman's island to intervene because she thought the detectives were bullying angelika so three types she went over to say, are you okay? because that conversation that the detectives sort of portrayed as this, oh, here's -- let's have a talk on the beach. >> was actually an interrogation. >> the drain plug quickly obviously we saw that you had an expert there showing they didn't think it would sink the kayak alone. did she ever say why she removed it. >> she said she might have taken it out a few months earlier as a cat toy. even if you buy she wanted to kill him, killing somebody like this removing that tiny drain plug would not make that kayak go down. >> think about the risk to herself also in connection with it. >> he was a much bigger man. she was a very tiny woman. >> if the judge keeps it out, the case is over. >> thanks, guys. over to you. >> fascinating case and the start. coming up on "gma," the big board this morning. the latest on the hunt for polygamous leader lyle jeffs on the hunt. diagnosing your ailments but dr. ashton says beware. the "gma" tweet that started a huge uproar over kermit the frog. lara, what do we do?

>> what has he stated in recent times to other cult members or people who used to be in the cult who possibly may know about safe houses. they'll look at cell phone, hard lines, the real key, what conversations has he had in recent times about fleeing? >> brad, as you know "the salt lake tribune" is reporting he had an idea the fbi was zeroing in on him. he had an elaborate escape plan. >> i don't think it will be easy to find him. he has a lot of money. thousands of cult followers who are willing to hide him. apparently he last a number of safe houses. he has property in south america. his ability to secrete and move, i think, will be very, very difficult for the fbi to track and my guess is this is not going to end in any short-term time. >> i was going to say how long do you think he's on the run? what are the of finding him ever? >> well, the key is every fugitive at some point gets sloppy. they use a phone, somebody sees them at a restaurant, there's a tip that eventually comes in, so you got to sort of stay the course if you're an investigator and eventually they'll find him. >> brad, stick with us. our next insider this morning. get ready to play doctor with google's newest feature. the symptom search and gives you a more accurate list. and dr. jen ashton joining us live. jen, i do this already. >> i can see her face. >> taking a deep breath. she wants to come to the screen. i've got some major issues, as you know, jen. anyway you say look it up with caution, right?
