JUDGE JUAN MERCHAN TELLING TRUMP’S ATTORNEY, I UNDERSTAND THAT YOUR CLIENT IS UPSET AT THIS POINT, BUT HE IS CURSING AUDIBLY AND HE IS SHAKING HIS HEAD VISUALLY, AND THAT’S CONTEMPTUOUS, AND IT HAS THE POTENTIAL TO INTATE THE ESS AND THE JURY CAN SEE THAT TRUMP’S ATTORNEY RESPONDING, I WILL TALK TO HIM, THE JUDGE LATER SAYING, SO I’M SPEAKING TO YOU HERE AT THE H BECAUSE I DON’T WANT TO EMBARRASS HIM.

THE JUDGE AGREED, AND DANIELS IN COURT DESCRIBED HER ALLEGED AFFAIR WITH TRUMP, WHICH TRUMP HAS DENIED. SHE TOLD THE JURY THEY MET AT GOLF TOURNAMENT IN 2006, AND SHE WAS INVITED TO HAVE DINNER AT HIS H SUITE. DANIELS SAID WHEN SHE ARRIVED, UN PAJAMAHE TOLD HIM TO GO CHANGE, SHE SAID. THEY TALKED FOR HOURS AND AT ONE POINT SHE WENT TO THE BATHROOM AND CAME TO FIND TRUMP ON THE BED IN HIS BOXER SHORTS AND T SHIRT.

LEGAL EXPERTS SAY WHILE THE CASE IS NOT ABOUT THE ALLEGED ENCOUNTER BETWEEN TRUMP AND DANIELS, E DETAILS MAY BE IMPORTANT FOR PROSECUTORS TO LAY OUT THEIR CASE. BEYOND A REASONABLE DOUBT THEY HAD THEY HAD SEX. THEN’T HAVE TO PROVE BEYOND REASONABLE DOUBT THAT THEY EVEN KNEW EACH OTHER. THEY HAVE TO PROVE BEYOND A REASONABLE DOUBT THAT THE CHECKS WERE CUT, THAT IT WAS DECIDED TO PUT IT IN THE BOOK. IMPROPER AND THEN OR LABEL IT IN ACCURATELY. AND THAT THAT WAS BEING DONE FOR ELECTION LAW. FRAUD. >> DANIELS DESCRIBED THEH MONEY ARRANGEMENT SHE ENTERED INTO JUST WEEKS BEFORE THE 2016 ELECTION, SELLING HER STORY FOR $130,000 IN A DEAL BROKERED BY TRUMP’S FORMEXER MICHAEL COHEN, SAYING SHE DIDN’T ASK FOR MORE BECAUSE SHE DIDN’T CARE ABOUT THE MONEY.

A SENIOR U.S. OFFICIAL SAYS THE ADMINISTRATION LAST WEEK HELD BACK THE DELIVERY OUT OF CONCERN THAT THE WEAPONS ARE SIMILAR TO THE KIND OF BOMBS THAT COULD BE USED IN RAFAH, WHERE MORE THAN A MILLION PALESTINIAN CIVILIANS HAVE SOUGHT SHELTER SINCE THE WAR BEGAN.

JUDGE JUAN MERCHAN TELLING TRUMP’S ATTORNEY, I UNDERSTAND THAT YOUR CLIENT IS UPSET ATTHIG AUDIBLY AND HE IS SHAKING HIS HEAD VISUALLY, AND THAT’S CONTEMPTUOUS, AND IT HAS THE POTENTIAL TO INTIMIDATE THE WITNESS AND THE JURY CAN SEE THAT TRUMP’S ATTORNEY RESPONDING, I WILL TALK TO HIM, THE JUDGE LATER SAYING, SO I’M SPEAKING TO YOU HERE AT THE BENCH BECAUSE I DON’T WANT TO EMBARRASS HIM. ADDING I WON’T TOLERATE THAT. TRUMP’S LEGAL TEAM HAD TRIED TO BLOCK DANIELS S ARGUED THE DETAILS OF THE ENCOUNTER ARE IMPORTANT. THE JUDGE AGREED, AND DANIELS IN COURT DESCRIBED HER ALLEGED AFFAIR WITH TRUMP, WHICH TRUMP HAS DENIED.

THE JUDGE AT ONE POINT CALLED THE LEVEL OF DETAIL JUST UNNECESSARY, LATER ADDING THERE AR SOME THINGS THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN BETTER LEFT UNSAID. TRUMP’S LEGAL TEAM DEMANDED A MISTRIAL, CALLING DANIELS TESTIMONY EXTRAORDINARILY PREJUDICIAL, BUT THE JUDGE DENIED THE REQUEST. LEGAL EXPERTS SAY WHILE THE CASE IS NOT ABOUT THE ALLEGED ENCOUNTER BETWEEN TRUMP AND DANIELS, THOSE DETAILS MAY BE IMPORTANT FOR PROSECUTORS TO LAY OUT THEIR CASE. >> THEY DON’T HAVE TO PROVE BEYOND A REASONABLE DOUBT THEY HAD THEY HAD SEX. THEY DON’T HAVE TO PROVE BEYOND REASONABLE DOUBT THAT THVEN KNEW EACH OTHER. THEY HAVE TO PROVE BEYOND A REASONABLE DOUBT THAT THE CHECKS WERE CUT, THAT IT WAS DECIDED TO PUT IT IN THE BOOK. IMPROPER AND THEN OR LABEL IT IN ACCURATELY. AND THAT THAT WAS BEING DONE FOR ELECTION LAW. FRAUD. >> DANIELS DESCRIBED TUSH MONEY ARRANGEMENT SHE ENTERED INTO JUST WEEKS BEFORE THE 2016 ELECTION, SELLING HER STORY FOR $130,000 IN A DEAL BROKERED BY TRUMP’SMER FIXER MICHAEL COHEN, SAYING SHE DIDN’T FOR MORE BECAUSE SHE DIDN’T CARE ABOUT THE MONEY.

JUDGE JUAN MERCHAN TELLING TRUMP’S ATTORNEY, I UNDERSTAND THAT YOUR CLIENT IS UPSET AT THIS POINT, BUT HE IS CURSING AUDIBLY AND HE IS SHAKING HIS HEAD VISUALLY, AND THAT’S CONTEMPTUOUS, AND IT HAS THE POTENTIAL TO INTIMIDATE THE WITNESS AND THE JURY CAN SEE THAT TRUMP’S ATTORNEY RESPONDING, I WILL TALK TO HIM, THE JUDGE LATER SAYING, SO I’M SPEAKING TO YOU HERE AT THE BENCH BECAUSE I DON’T WANT TO EMBARRASS HIM. ADDING I WON’T TOLERATE THAT. TRUMP’S LEGAL TEAM HAD TRIED TO BLOCK DANIELS FROM TESTIFYING, BUT PROSECUTORS ARGUED THE DETAILS OF THE ENCOUNTER ARE IMPORTANT. THE JUDGE AGREED, AND DANIELS IN COURT DESCRIBED HER ALLEGED AFFAIR WITH TRUMP, WHICH TRUMP HAS DENIED. SHE TOLD THE JURY THEY MET AT A GOLF TOURNAMENT IN 2006, AND SHE WAS INVITED TO HAVE DINNER AT HIS HOTEL SUITE. DANIELS SAID WHEN SHE ARRIVED, TRUMP WAS IN SILK OR SATIN PAJAMAS.

TRUMP’S LEGAL TEAM DEMANDED A MISTRIAL, CALLING DANIELS TESTIMONY EXTRAORDINARILY PREJUDICIAL, BUT THE JUDGE DENIED THE REQUEST. LEGAL EXPERTS SAY WHILE THE CASE IS NOT ABOUT THE ALLEGED ENCOUNTER BETWEEN TRUMP AND DANIELS, THOSE DETAILS MAY BE IMPORTANT FOR PROSECUTORS TO LAY OUT THEIR CASE. >> THEY DON’T HAVE TO PROVE BEYOND A REASONABLE DOUBT THEY HAD THEY HAD SEX. THEY DON’T HAVE TO PROVE BEYOND REASONABLE DOUBT THAT THEY EVEN KNEW EACH OTHER. THEY HAVE TO PROVE BEYOND A REASONABLE DOUBT THAT THE CHECKS WERE CUT, THAT IT WAS DECIDED TO PUT IT IN THE BOOK. IMPROPER AND THEN OR LABEL IT IN ACCURATELY. AND THAT THAT WAS BEING DONE FOR ELECTION LAW. FRAUD. >> DANIELS DESCRIBED THE HUSH MONEY ARRANGEMENT SHE ENTERED INTO JUST WEEKS BEFORE THE 2016 ELECTION, SELLING HER STORY FOR $130,000 IN A DEAL BROKERED BY TRUMP’S FORMER FIXER MICHAEL COHEN, SAYING SHE DIDN’T ASK FOR MORE BECAUSE SHE DIDN’T CARE ABOUT THE MONEY. TRUMP’S ATTORNEYS TAKING ISSUE WITH THAT CLAIM AND GETTING DANIELS TO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT SHE, QUOTE, HATES TRUMP.

GOOD MORNING RHIANNON. >> GOOD MORNING. YEAH. THIS APPEARS TO BE A MAJOR POLICY SHIFT BY THE WHITE HOUSE. SENDING A MESSAGE TO ISRAEL BY PAUSING A SHIPMENT OF MORE THAN 3000 BOMBS. A SENIOR U.S. OFFICIAL SAYS THE ADMINISTRATION LAST WEEK HELD BACK THE DELIVERY OUT OF CONCERN THAT THE WEAPONS ARE SIMILAR TO THE KIND OF BOMBS THAT COULD BE USED IN RAFAH, WHERE MORE THAN A MILLION PALESTINIAN CIVILIANS HAVE SOUGHT SHELTER SINCE THE WAR BEGAN. THE WHITE HOUSE OPPOSES AN ISRAELI GROUND INVASION THERE. UNLESS THERE’S A CREDIBLE PLAN TO PROTECT THOSE CIVILIANS. ISRAELI TROOPS ENTERED RAFAH YESTERDAY. A TANK WAS SEEN CRUSHING AN I LOVE GAZA SIGN AS TROOPS TOOK CONTROL OF A BORDER CROSSING. BUT U.S. OFFICIALS INSIST ISRAEL HAS NOT YET LAUNCHED A FULL SCALE INVASION. >> OUR UNDERSTANDING IS THAT THIS WAS A VERY LIMITED OPERATION DESIGNED TO CUT OFF, HAMAS’S ABILITY TO SMUGGLE MORE WEAPONS AND FUNDING INTO GAZA. >> MEANWHILE, HAMAS AND ISRAELI NEGOTIATORS ARE IN EGYPT FOR MORE CEASEFIRE TALKS. HAMAS SAYS IT WILL OPPOSE ANY CEASEFIRE HOSTAGE DEAL AS LONG AS ISRAEL’S OPERATION IN RAFAH CONTINUES.

SOMEONE HAD TO DO IT. >> THE SOCIAL MEDIA PLATFORM AND ITS CHINESE PARENT COMPANY, BYTEDANCE, CLAIMED THE PROPOSED BAN IS UNCONSTITUTIONAL AND BARS EVERY AMERICAN FROM PARTICIPATING IN A UNIQUE ONLINE COMMUNITY WITH MORE THAN 1 BILLION PEOPLE WORLDWIDE. PRESIDENT BIDEN SIGNED A LAW LAST MONTH THAT WOULD BAN TIKTOK UNLESS IT SOLD TO A NON-CHINESE BUYER IN 9 TO 12 MONTHS. CONGRESSIONAL LEADERS AND THE FBI HAVE WARNED CHINA’S GOVERNMENT MAY BE ABLE TO USE TIKTOK TO CONTROL SOFTWARE ON ITS 170 MILLION USERS DEVICES, THEY SAID. >> WE WANT YOU TO PUT OUT VIDEOS THAT MAKE AMERICANS FIGHT WITH EACH OTHER OR SPREAD CONSPIRACY THEORIES AND GET THEM AT EACH OTHER’S THROAT, BYTEDANCE DOESN’T HAVE CAN’T GO TO CHINESE COURT AND FIGHT THE COMMUNIST PARTY. THEY WOULD HAVE TO DO IT. >> THAT’S MY UNDERSTANDING. >> BUT TIKTOK DENIES ANY SECURITY RISK. >> I HAVE SEEN NO EVIDENCE THAT THE CHINESE GOVERNMENT HAS ACCESS TO THAT DATA. >> THE NEW LAWSUIT ALSO ARGUES SELLING THE APP SO QUICKLY WOULD NOT BE FEASIBLE DUE TO WHAT WOULD BE ITS HUGE PRICE TAG AND THE SOPHISTICATED CODE AND ALGORITHM THAT UNDERPINS THE APP. GOOGLE’S FORMER CEO, WHO ONCE CONSIDERED BUYING TIKTOK, SAYS THE APP SHOULD NOT BE BANNED. >> MY OWN VIEW OF TIKTOK IS THAT TIKTOK IS NOT REALLY SOCIAL MEDIA. IT’S REALLY TELEVISION, AND THAT YOU CAN REGULATE TELEVISION BY THE EQUIVALENT OF THE EQUAL TIME RULE. BUT SOMEHOW WE’RE NOT HAVING THAT CONVERSATION. >> BUT A NEW POLL FINDS MOST AMERICANS 53% SUPPORT BANNING TIKTOK. IF IT’S NOT SOLD. THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME BYTEDANCE HAS FILED A LAWSUIT IN THE U.S. IT SUED THE STATE OF MONTANA LAST YEAR BECAUSE OF A SIMILAR BAN, AND A FEDERAL JUDGE RULED IN FAVOR OF TIKTOK AND BLOCKED THE LAW.

BECAUSE OF YOU, YOU KNOW, YOU’VE STRUCK A NERVE. WE START HERE. >> STORMY DANIELS TAKES THE STAND AGAINST FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP. THEY WERE A BIT GROSS FOR ALL THE DETAILS OF A LEWD LIAISON. HOW MUCH DAMAGE DID THIS DO? PRESIDENT BIDEN MAKES A PLEA ON BEHALF OF AMERICAN JEWS. >> THERE’S NO PLACE ON ANY CAMPUS IN AMERICA, ANY PLACE IN AMERICA FOR ANTI-SEMITISM OR HATE SPEECH OR THREATS OF VIOLENCE OF ANY KIND. >> AS ISRAEL BEGINS ITS INCURSION INTO RAFAH, THE U.S. HAS TAKEN A DRAMATIC STEP IN RESPONSE AND TICK TOCK CLAPS BACK. >> THIS HAS BECOME AN ISSUE OF NATIONALISM AND PATRIOTISM AS WELL. THEY’RE NOT GOING TO LET GO OF THIS EASILY BY THE SOCIAL MEDIA COMPANY SAYS IT CAN’T BE SOLD EVEN IF IT WANTED TO. FROM ABC NEWS. THIS IS "START HERE". I’M BRAD MIELKE AT THE HEART OF THE CASE. THE PEOPLE OF NEW YORK VERSUS DONALD TRUMP IS A STORY THAT TRUMP NEVER WANTED OUT THERE. REMEMBER, IN THE WEEKS LEADING INTO THE 2016 PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION, AN OLD OUTTAKE FROM "ACCESS HOLLYWOOD" HAD EMERGED. I GOT YOU SOME TISSUE CANCER CASES THAT KISSINGER. THIS GRAPHIC CONVERSATION RECORDED IN 2005 AND OBTAINED BY THE WASHINGTON POST, CAPTURES TRUMP BRAGGING ABOUT ASSAULTING WOMEN, GRABBED HIM BY THE. I CAN DO ANYTHING. THIS BECAME A CAMPAIGN CRISIS THAT OCTOBER TRUMP WAS DEEMED TOXIC TO WOMEN, TO VALUES VOTERS. >> REPUBLICAN LAWMAKERS WERE BEGGING HIM TO DROP OUT OF THE RACE. I’VE SAID AND DONE THINGS I REGRET, AND THE WORDS RELEASED TODAY ON THIS MORE THAN A DECADE OLD VIDEO ARE ONE OF THEM. >> AS ALL THIS WAS UNFOLDING BEHIND THE SCENES, ANOTHER STORY IS BEING FLOATED TO TABLOIDS, A STORY THAT TRUMP AT ONE TIME HAD A ENCOUNTER WITH A PORN STAR, AN ACTRESS GOING BY THE NAME OF STORMY DANIELS. DANIELS ENDED UP GETTING $100,000 TO NOT SAY ANYTHING ABOUT THIS. NO ONE’S DENYING A PAYMENT WAS MADE TO SILENCE HER STORY. BUT ONLY TWO PEOPLE REALLY KNOW IF THAT STORY WAS TRUE. TO BEGIN WITH. YESTERDAY, ONE OF THEM WAS AT THE DEFENSE TABLE, ACCUSED OF FALSIFYING ELECTION FINANCE DOCUMENTS WHILE THE OTHER WAS CALLED TO THE STAND. THIS TESTIMONY FROM STORMY DANIELS WAS NOT JUST COMPELLING, IT WAS GRAPHIC. IT WAS INTIMATE. IT WAS UNDOUBTEDLY EMBARRASSING. AND IT COULD HAVE PROFOUND IMPLICATIONS FOR THIS CASE. LET’S TALK TODAY WITH ABC’S CHIEF LEGAL ANALYST, DAN ABRAMS. AND DAN, THIS TESTIMONY WAS SHOCKING TO THE POINT WHERE I FEEL LIKE WE SHOULD WARN PEOPLE THAT THIS WAS ALLEGEDLY A CONSENSUAL AFFAIR. BUT I’M JUST SAYING, LIKE, IF YOU GET GROSSED OUT EASILY OR GET KIDS IN THE CAR, I MEAN, YOU CAN SKIP AHEAD A COUPLE OF MINUTES. >> WHAT WAS ALLEGED HERE BY STORMY DANIELS. >> SO WE GOT A LOT OF DETAILS ABOUT WHAT STORMY DANIELS SAYS HAPPENED BETWEEN HER AND DONALD TRUMP ABOUT THE PAJAMAS THAT HE WAS WEARING. ABOUT EXACTLY WHAT HE SAID TO HER, ABOUT THE SEX, WHAT HE SAID AFTERWARDS. >> YOU KNOW, THEY THEY WERE A BIT GROSS, BUT IT WAS THE HEART OF WHAT LED TO ALL OF THIS. >> AND SO THE REASON THERE WAS THIS CALL FOR A MISTRIAL IN PART WAS THE AMOUNT OF DETAIL THAT SHE PROVIDED INFORMATION THAT THE DEFENSE TEAM BELIEVES IS BOTH UNNECESSARY AND INCREDIBLY PREJUDICIAL TO DONALD TRUMP. >> THEY’RE ASKING IF HE WAS WEARING A CONDOM. RIGHT. LIKE IT WENT. EVERYTHING WAS PART OF THIS. RIGHT. BRAD? I DIDN’T KNOW HOW FAR YOU’D WANT ME TO GO ON THIS. SO. YES. YES, THEY WERE. THAT WAS PART OF WHAT THEY WERE TALKING ABOUT, IS HIM NOT WEARING A CONDOM. SO THAT’S THE KIND OF DETAIL THAT THAT THEY WERE TALKING ABOUT. YOU KNOW, WHAT POSITION THE SEX WAS IN. AND SO THE THE EXPLANATION FROM THE PROSECUTORS WOULD BE THAT THE DETAILS JUST SHOW YOU HOW CREDIBLE SHE IS WHEN DESCRIBES EXACTLY WHAT THE ROOM LOOKED LIKE, WHAT HE SAID. >> A PLAYFUL MOMENT THAT THEY HAD WHERE HE HAS A MAGAZINE WITH HIMSELF ON THE COVER. AND SHE SAYS SHE’S GOING TO SPANK HIM WITH IT AND SHE DOES. >> SO. >> IT WAS INCREDIBLY INTERESTING. >> BUT ONE COULD ARGUE NOT THAT RELEVANT TO THE FUNDAMENTAL QUESTIONS AS LEGAL MATTERS IN THE CASE. >> WELL, THAT’S THE ISSUE, RIGHT, BECAUSE IT’S LIKE HE’S NOT BEING CHARGED WITH HAVING AN AFFAIR. HE’S NOT EVEN BEING CHARGED WITH MAKING A HUSH MONEY PAYMENT. THOSE AREN’T ILLEGAL. HE’S BEING CHARGED WITH FALSIFYING DOCUMENTS ABOUT THE HUSH MONEY. SO WHY DOES ANYONE EVEN NEED TO HEAR ABOUT THE ALLEGED ENCOUNTER? >> RIGHT. I’D SAY FOR TWO REASONS. FIRST OF ALL, BECAUSE IF HE WAS DOING IT TO IMPACT THE ELECTION IS ONE OF THE CRITICAL QUESTIONS. AND, YOU KNOW, THE TIMING OF ALL OF THIS. SHE’S INVOLVED IN THE NEGOTIATION, RIGHT? >> SHE ISN’T JUST THERE FOR THE SEX. SHE’S ALSO THERE AS PART OF THE NEGOTIATION FOR THE MONEY. AND SO THAT’S RELEVANT. I THINK THERE’S A SECOND FACTOR HERE, AND THAT IS THAT DONALD TRUMP IS DENYING IT EVEN HAPPENED. IF DONALD TRUMP HAD CONCEDED, YES, WE HAD SEX, IT WAS CONSENSUAL. I SHOULDN’T HAVE DONE IT. IT WAS A MISTAKE. I THINK AT THAT POINT THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN AN ARGUMENT TO SAY, DO WE REALLY NEED HER TO TESTIFY ABOUT THE SEX. >> BUT BECAUSE DONALD TRUMP IS DENYING IT, I THINK IT BECOMES MORE RELEVANT IN THE CONTEXT OF THE CASE. >> AND SO LIKE A CREDIBILITY THING. WELL, BUT JUST ALSO BECAUSE THE PROSECUTION IS LAYING THE FOUNDATION FOR THE CIRCUMSTANCES SURROUNDING THE NEGOTIATION AND KNOWING WHETHER IT HAPPENED OR NOT IS A RELEVANT FACTOR. MEANING IF YOU BELIEVE IT DID NOT HAPPEN. >> RIGHT. IF THERE’S NOTHING TO SUGGEST THAT THIS EVER HAPPENED, THE NEGOTIATION OVER THE MONEY, I THINK, BECOMES A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT. NOW, THE TRUMP TEAM MAY SAY IT SHOULDN’T MATTER. RIGHT. IT WAS A PAYOFF THAT HE SHOULDN’T HAVE HAD TO MAKE. REGARDLESS, HE MADE IT BECAUSE THIS WAS A NUISANCE, THEY WOULD SAY. >> BUT WHEN THE THE CIRCUMSTANCES SURROUNDING THE NEGOTIATION ARE SO RELEVANT IN TERMS OF HIS MOTIVATIONS, WAS IT TO TRY TO IMPACT THE ELECTION? WAS IT TO TRY TO KEEP THIS INFORMATION OUT BECAUSE IT WAS SO CLOSE TO THE ELECTION? >> I DO THINK THAT DETAIL BECOMES THAT MUCH MORE IMPORTANT. >> SO AFTER STORMY DANIELS GIVES HER DIRECT EXAMINATION AND THE DEFENSE COMES UP AND IS LIKE, YOU’VE GOT TO ISSUE A MISTRIAL LIKE THIS JURY IS TAINTED FROM HERE ON OUT, THE JUDGE BASICALLY SAID NO. >> THAT’S WHAT CROSS-EXAMINATION IS FOR. I MEAN, HOW DID THE DEFENSE HANDLE? IT SOUNDED LIKE THEY WERE TRYING TO ESSENTIALLY TO UNDERMINE ANY CREDIBILITY SHE HAD AT ALL. WELL, LOOK, I THINK THAT THERE IS A LEGITIMATE ARGUMENT THAT SHE WENT TOO FAR IN TERMS OF SOME OF WHAT SHE WAS TESTIFYING ABOUT. AND I THINK THE JUDGE EVEN RECOGNIZED THAT. RIGHT. HE WAS SAYING, OH, YOU KNOW, I WISH SHE HADN’T SAID SOME OF WHAT SHE SAID. >> BUT, YOU KNOW, THAT HAPPENS IN TRIALS. >> SO ON CROSS-EXAMINATION, THE DEFENSE IS TRYING TO SHOW THAT SHE REALLY HATES DONALD TRUMP AND SHE’LL SAY ANYTHING TO GET DONALD TRUMP CONVICTED HERE. AND SHE ADMITTED THAT SHE HATES DONALD TRUMP. BUT WHEN ASKED. AND SO, YOU KNOW, YOU WANT TO SEE HIM GO TO JAIL, DON’T YOU? SHE YOU KNOW, SHE SHE RECOGNIZED THE TRAP THAT WAS BEING SET AND BASICALLY RESPONDED THAT IF THE JURY FINDS HIM GUILTY, YOU KNOW, THAT’S THE ISSUE. >> SO SO THERE WAS THERE WAS A COUCHING OF HER ANSWERS. >> YES. SHE ADMITTED THAT SHE HAS ANIMUS TOWARDS DONALD TRUMP, BUT DIDN’T GO AS FAR AS TO SAY. >> AND YES, I’M GOING TO SAY ANYTHING THAT WILL GET HIM CONVICTED BECAUSE SHE’S SAYING I’M JUST TELLING THE TRUTH. I’M JUST TELLING MY STORY. REALLY INTERESTING. AND AGAIN, WE LOOK AT ALL THESE CASES ON THE HORIZON. NONE OF THE OTHER ONES ARE GOING TO TRIAL ANYTIME SOON. IN FACT, WHEN YOU LOOK ABOUT THE CASE, ABOUT THE HANDLING OF CLASSIFIED DOCUMENTS BY FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP, A FEDERAL JUDGE JUST DELAYED THAT TRIAL INDEFINITELY. SO STAKES COULDN’T BE HIGHER HERE IN NEW YORK. DAN ABRAMS, THANK YOU SO MUCH. SURE. >> NEXT UP ON "START HERE", ISRAEL MAKES THE MOVE INTO ROTH . SO IS THAT A FORK IN THE ROAD FOR THE U.S.? WE’RE BACK IN A BIT TONIGHT TRACKING THE DEADLY TORNADO OUTBREAK AND DAMAGE AS THE SEVERE WEATHER MOVES EAST ACROSS ISRAEL, HAMAS WAR AND RAFAH. WHAT HAPPENS NEXT? MORE AMERICANS TURN TO WORLD NEWS TONIGHT WITH DAVID MUIR. THE MOST WATCHED NEWSCAST ON TELEVISION RIGHT NOW. >> THERE’S JUST SO MUCH HAPPENING IN OUR WORLD, SO MUCH AT STAKE AT THE START OF EVERY MORNING MAKING SENSE OF IT ALL. THAT’S NOT ALWAYS SO EASY. AND THAT’S WHERE WE COME IN. GOOD AMERICA. WE WANT YOU TO KNOW EVERY MORNING WE’RE RIGHT HERE AND WE GOT YOU. >> FRIDAY NIGHT, TWO TEENAGERS LEFT TO GO TO A BIRTHDAY PARTY BUT NEVER REACH THEIR DESTINATION. BOTH MEN WERE SHOT EXECUTION STYLE.

I DON’T CARE IF THEY LIKE ME OR NOT. THEY’RE FABULOUS WHEN IT COMES DOWN TO THE WAY SHE TREATED US. IT WAS TOUGH. LOVE YOUR TROUBLE SAYING HER NAME. >> YEAH. I FEEL LIKE I HAVE TROUBLE JUST TALKING ABOUT IN GENERAL. I’M NOT THE BAD GUY. >> I WAS THE GUY THAT MADE IT HAPPEN. DO YOU THINK THAT YOU WOULD TAKE BACK SOME OF THE HARSHNESS WHEN YOU LOOK BACK ON DANCE MOMS BEHIND THE CURTAIN? THIS IS "IMPACT X NIGHTLINE" MASCULINE. ARE YOU? FOR THE LAST SEVERAL WEEKS, ISRAEL HAS BEEN OMINOUSLY WARNING OF A MILITARY OPERATION IN RAFAH IN THE SOUTHERN PART OF GAZA. ISRAEL SAYS IT WOULD START TAKING LAND THERE, CLEARING OUT ANY PEOPLE OR INFRASTRUCTURE USED BY HAMAS. YESTERDAY, AN INCURSION SEEMED TO BEGIN AND THAT ISRAELI TROOPS BEGAN MOVING INTO RAFAH JUST PAST THE BORDER CHECKPOINT FOR NOW. REMEMBER, LOTS OF AMERICANS HAD BEGGED PRIME MINISTER BENJAMIN NETANYAHU NOT TO DO THIS, INCLUDING PRESIDENT BIDEN HIMSELF. >> WITHOUT A CREDIBLE PLAN, A CREDIBLE PLAN FOR ENSURING THE SAFETY AND SUPPORT OF MORE THAN 1 MILLION PEOPLE SHELTERING THERE. >> BUT ON THE SAME DAY YESTERDAY, IT WAS HOLOCAUST REMEMBRANCE DAY, WHICH LED TO BIDEN GIVING A FORCEFUL SPEECH ON, ANTI-SEMITISM AT WHAT’S ALSO BECOME AN INFLECTION POINT FOR THE WORLD’S ONLY JEWISH STATE. ABC’S CHIEF NATIONAL CORRESPONDENT MATT GUTMAN JOINED US. MATT, FIRST OFF, RAFAH, WHAT DOES THIS MILITARY OPERATION LOOK LIKE AT THIS MOMENT? >> I THINK COMPARED TO THE START OF THE WAR, THIS APPEARS TO BE LIMITED, RIGHT? THIS IS NOT THE SHOCK AND AWE. THIS IS NOT A MASSIVE BOMBARDMENT OF GAZA CITY THAT WE SEE. AND IT’S NOT THE EVEN SURROUNDING OF HONDURAS IS THE SECOND LARGEST PALESTINIAN CITY THAT WE SAW A COUPLE OF MONTHS BACK. >> THIS SEEMS TO BE MORE OF A PINPOINT STRIKE LAUNCHED FROM THE KEREM SHALOM AREA, WHICH WAS THIS MAJOR BORDER CROSSING THROUGH WHICH MOST OF THE AID WAS GETTING INTO GAZA, WHICH HAMAS OVER THE PAST COUPLE OF DAYS HAS SHELLED. IT WAS SHUT DOWN. ISRAEL PUSHED RIGHT UP AGAINST THE BORDER CROSSING BETWEEN GAZA AND EGYPT IS AN ABSOLUTELY CRITICAL LIFELINE AS WELL. THERE ARE AIRSTRIKES IN RAFAH. WE HEAR THAT THERE ARE DOZENS OF PEOPLE WHO ARE KILLED, SCORES WHO’VE BEEN WOUNDED SO FAR. >> OUR UNDERSTANDING IS THAT THIS WAS A A VERY LIMITED OPERATION DESIGNED TO CUT OFF HAMAS’S ABILITY TO TO SMUGGLE MORE WEAPONS AND FUNDING INTO GAZA. >> BUT THIS IS NOT THE BIG PUSH THAT I THINK THE U.S. HAS BEEN WORRIED ABOUT AND THAT THE THAT ISRAEL HAS TELEGRAPHED FOR THE PAST COUPLE OF MONTHS, ONE THAT WOULD REQUIRE MASS EVACUATION OF WELL OVER A MILLION PALESTINIANS FROM THE VERY SOUTHERN PART OF GAZA, MORE TO THE CENTER AND THE WEST OF IT. >> YEAH, WE’VE BEEN TOLD SOME EVACUATIONS HAVE BEGUN. BUT AGAIN, SO MANY PEOPLE THERE THAT YOU’D IMAGINE THAT WOULD TAKE DAYS OR WEEKS. WHAT IS THE REACTION FROM THE U.S. GOVERNMENT AS AS FAR AS THIS NEW SORT OF MOVE IN TOWARDS RAFAH? >> THEY’RE NOT HAPPY ABOUT IT AND THEY’RE NOT SHY ABOUT MAKING IT KNOWN AT THIS POINT. >> WE DON’T SUPPORT GROUND OPERATIONS IN RAFAH. THAT WOULD PUT THE MAJORITY OR EVEN MANY OF THE CIVILIANS THERE AT ANY GREATER RISK. THEY HAVE BEEN SAYING FOR MONTHS NOW THAT RAFAH IS A BAD IDEA. >> THEY HAVE ALSO BEEN SAYING THAT THEY HAVE NOT BEEN PRESENTED WITH PLANS THAT THEY BELIEVE ARE SUFFICIENT FOR PROTECTING THE 1.5 MILLION PALESTINIANS WHO ARE LIVING IN THAT ENCLAVE. THEY ASSUME THAT ANYWHERE BETWEEN 800,001.2 MILLION WOULD EVACUATE. ISRAEL SAYS IT HAS THESE EVACUATION PLANS. IT SAYS IT’S SETTING UP THESE HUMANITARIAN ISLANDS WITH FOOD AND WATER AND TOILETS AND HOSPITAL TENTS. BUT APPARENTLY, THE U.S. SAYS THIS IS NOT SUFFICIENT. AND WE ARE SEEING FOR THE FIRST TIME A VERY MATERIAL REACTION FROM THE UNITED STATES. THIS IS NOT JUST THE PRESIDENT LASHING OUT, SAYING THAT ISRAEL NEEDS TO DO MORE TO PROTECT CIVILIANS, TO GET MORE HUMANITARIAN AID INTO GAZA. THE U.S. IS HITTING ISRAEL WHERE IT HURTS MOST. WE UNDERSTAND THAT THE NSC DIRECTED THE U.S. AIR FORCE NOT TO DELIVER AND TO SUSPEND THE DELIVERY OF CERTAIN MUNITIONS TO ISRAEL. AND THIS IS SOMETHING THAT VERY SENIOR ISRAELI OFFICIALS TOLD ME JUST A COUPLE OF MONTHS BACK. >> WHAT NEVER HAPPENED, THAT THE U.S. WOULD NEVER PREVENT THE DELIVERY OF CRITICAL MUNITIONS TO ISRAEL IN A TIME OF WAR IN AN ELECTION YEAR. THEY THOUGHT THAT THAT WOULD BE ANATHEMA. >> BUT IT’S HAPPENING, BRAD, AND IT’S HAPPENING RIGHT NOW. WOW. HUGE INFLECTION POINT WITH THE WAR. WITH 34,000 REPORTED DEAD IN GAZA, MORE THAN 100 HOSTAGES HELD IN GAZA. >> AND I MEAN, REGARDLESS OF WHAT YOU THINK ABOUT ISRAEL AND THIS CONFLICT RIGHT NOW, IT DOESN’T NEGATE THE FACT THAT ANTI-SEMITIC INCIDENTS IN THIS COUNTRY ARE STILL ON THE RISE. BIDEN MADE THIS ADDRESS YESTERDAY. >> WHAT WERE THE TAKEAWAYS FROM THESE REMARKS ON A DAY OF HOLOCAUST REMEMBRANCE? YOU KNOW, IT’S SAID IN ISRAEL AND IN THE U.S. THAT BIDEN IS ARGUABLY THE BEST FRIEND THAT ISRAEL AND THE JEWS HAVE EVER HAD. HE WARMLY EMBRACED NETANYAHU JUST A COUPLE OF DAYS AFTER THE WAR. HE CONTINUED THAT EMBRACE BY FLOODING ISRAEL WITH MUNITIONS AND THEN IN THE MONTHS AFTER THAT, GIVING ISRAEL POLITICAL AND DIPLOMATIC COVER IN THE U.N., ALL ACROSS EUROPE, IN WORLD AND IN THE U.S.. AND NOW HE’S ENVELOPING THE JEWISH PEOPLE IN THIS WARM EMBRACE AS WELL, IDENTIFYING WITH THEM, SAYING THAT ANTI-SEMITISM IS NEVER OKAY. THERE IS NO PLACE ON ANY CAMPUS IN AMERICA, ANY PLACE, ANYWHERE FOR ANTI-SEMITISM OR HATE SPEECH OR THREATS OF VIOLENCE, OF ANY KIND. >> AND OF COURSE, AGAIN, ON THE SAME DAY THAT THEY SUSPENDED MUNITION DELIVERIES TO ISRAEL. PRESIDENT BIDEN SAYING THAT ISRAEL HAS A RIGHT TO EXIST. THAT’S IMPORTANT AND THAT THE U.S. IS COMMITTED TO ITS SECURITY. >> TOO MANY PEOPLE DENYING, DOWNPLAYING, RATIONALIZE AND IGNORING THE HORRORS OF THE HOLOCAUST. AND OCTOBER 7TH, INCLUDING HAMAS’S APPALLING USE OF SEXUAL VIOLENCE TO TORTURE AND TERRORIZED YOUTH. >> AND THERE’S NO DOUBT THAT PRESIDENT BIDEN IS SPEAKING TO MANY JEWS WHO ARE CONCERNED RIGHT NOW. >> WE’VE SEEN A FEROCIOUS SURGE OF ANTI-SEMITISM IN AMERICA AND AROUND THE WORLD. >> THIS IS PROPAGANDA ON SOCIAL MEDIA. JEWS FORCED TO KEEP THEIR HIDE, TO KEEP US UNDER BASEBALL HATS. CHUCK, THE JURY STARS INTO THEIR SHIRTS. >> WHETHER THEY SUPPORT ISRAEL’S POLICIES OR NOT. I THINK THAT THERE’S PALPABLE FEAR IN MANY JEWISH COMMUNITIES ACROSS THE U.S. WHO ARE SEEING AND EXPERIENCING VISCERALLY FIRSTHAND THE SKYROCKETING OF ANTI-SEMITIC INCIDENTS IN THIS COUNTRY. RIGHT. YOU COULD TELL HOW FIRMLY BIDEN BELIEVES THIS IS REALLY A SCOURGE THAT IS KIND OF OVERTAKING THE COUNTRY RIGHT NOW. AT THE SAME TIME, WE SHOULD ALSO MENTION MORE THAN 8000 REPORTS OF DISCRIMINATION AND HATE CRIMES AGAINST MUSLIMS LAST YEAR. THAT’S THE HIGHEST WE’VE SEEN IN MORE THAN A DECADE AS WELL. SO SO JUST SO MUCH TENSION AND DISTRUST RIGHT NOW. MATT GUTMAN, OUR CHIEF NATIONAL CORRESPONDENT, THANK YOU. THANKS, BROOKE. >> PRESIDENT BIDEN HAS ALREADY SIGNED THE LAW THAT FORCES TIKTOK’S PARENT COMPANY TO SELL THE APP OR FACE A BAN IN THE U.S.. REMEMBER BYTEDANCE OWNS THAT PARENT COMPANY IS BASED IN CHINA. >> YEAH, THE COUNTRY THAT CAN FORCE ANY COMPANY WITHIN ITS BORDERS TO HAND OVER ANY DATA THE GOVERNMENT WANTS AND EFFECTIVELY CO-OPT YOUR COMPANY INTO BECOMING A STATE ENTERPRISE. >> I CAN THINK OF FEW BETTER OR EASIER WAYS TO SPY ON AMERICAN CITIZENS OR MANIPULATE AMERICAN PUBLIC OPINION THAN TO MAKE USE OF A POPULAR APP THAT IS USED BY OVER 100 MILLION AMERICANS. >> THIS BILL IN THE U.S. IS NOW LAW. THE ONLY THING THAT WOULD DERAIL IT IS IF IT’S RESCINDED OR DEEMED ILLEGAL BY THE COURTS. >> WELL, YESTERDAY TIKTOK SUED U.S. GOVERNMENT OVER THIS. ABC SENIOR WHITE HOUSE CORRESPONDENT SELINA WANG HAS BEEN COVERING IT ALL. >> SELINA, WHAT IS THE ISSUE FROM FROM TIKTOK’S EYES HERE? >> WHAT IS THE ARGUMENT? YEAH, WELL, FIRST, BRAD, WE KNEW THAT THIS WAS COMING. TIKTOK HAS BEEN VOWING NOW THAT THEY ARE GOING TO FIGHT THIS AS HARD AS THEY CAN IN THE COURTS. AND TIK TOK ARGUES THAT THIS IS NOT GOING TO WORK BECAUSE THIS VIOLATES USERS FIRST AMENDMENT RIGHTS, THAT IT TRAMPLES OVER YOUR RIGHT TO FREE SPEECH. AND ON TOP OF THAT, THEY SAY IT’S ACTUALLY NOT POSSIBLE TO SELL OFF ITS U.S. OPERATIONS. THEY SAY IT’S NOT POSSIBLE COMMERCIALLY, TECHNOLOGICALLY OR LEGALLY. SO THEY ARGUE IN THIS LAWSUIT THAT THIS LAW ESSENTIALLY WILL FORCE A SHUT DOWN OF TIK TOK. AND I CAN WALK YOU THROUGH EACH ONE OF THOSE VARIOUS CHALLENGES . SO, FIRST OF ALL, TIKTOK ARGUES THAT IF YOU MAKE A STANDALONE U.S. PLATFORM THAT IS NOT PART OF THIS GLOBAL APP, IT’S NOT GOING TO WORK BECAUSE ALL OF THIS IS GLOBALLY INTEGRATED. SO A DIVESTMENT MEANS THAT YOU CAN’T GET THIS INTERNATIONAL CONTENT SEAMLESSLY AVAILABLE TO U.S. VIEWERS AND VICE VERSA. NOW, SECONDLY, TIKTOK SAYS THIS IS VERY COMPLICATED CODING WE’RE TALKING ABOUT HERE AND THAT THE CODE BASE THAT UNDERPINS THE APP WOULD HAVE TO BE SEPARATED TO A NEW TEAM OF ENGINEERS, AND THEY ARGUE IT WOULD TAKE YEARS FOR THIS NEW SET OF ENGINEERS TO JUST UNDERSTAND THE SOURCE CODE AND DO THEIR JOB AND THEY SAY TO THEN KEEP THE APP FUNCTIONING. THE ENGINEERS WOULD NEED ACCESS TO BYTEDANCE’S SOFTWARE, WHICH THE LAW BANS. >> ON TOP OF THAT, THEY MAKE AN ARGUMENT ABOUT HOW THE CHINESE GOVERNMENT HAS MADE CLEAR IT WOULD NOT ALLOW A DIVESTMENT YET. >> AND SO THEY DON’T. I MEAN, YOU REPORTED OUT OF CHINA FOR YEARS, RIGHT? YOU WERE BASED IN BEIJING. IS THAT LEGIT, LIKE THE CHINA ANGLE OF THEY WOULD NEVER ALLOW THIS TO BE SOLD. DO YOU GET THE SENSE THAT IS A REAL THING THAT THEY WOULD SAY, WE WILL FOREGO THE AMERICAN AUDIENCE RATHER THAN LET BYTEDANCE SELL THIS TO A DIFFERENT COMPANY? >> YEAH, WELL, THE CHINESE GOVERNMENT HAS MADE CLEAR THAT THEY DO NOT WANT THIS APP TO BE SOLD. IN FACT, BACK WHEN TRUMP TRIED TO BAN TIKTOK, THE CHINESE GOVERNMENT ACTUALLY CHANGED THEIR OWN LAWS THAT WOULD PROHIBIT THE SALE OF SENSITIVE TECHNOLOGIES LIKE THE ALGORITHM THAT UNDERPINS TIKTOK. SO THAT ALGORITHM IS THE REASON WHY TIKTOK IS SO POWERFUL WHY IT’S SO POPULAR AND STICKY AND ADDICTIVE IS BECAUSE OF THAT. AND SO IF YOU SELL THE APP WITHOUT THAT ALGORITHM, YOU’RE BASICALLY JUST SELLING A SHELL. IT’S NOT GOING TO BE POWERFUL. AND FOR THE CHINESE GOVERNMENT, THIS IS MORE THAN JUST, YOU KNOW, AN APP WITH FUN VIDEOS. THEY ARE FRAMING THIS AS ANOTHER EXAMPLE OF THE U.S. TRYING TO SUPPRESS CHINA’S RISE, TRYING TO SUPPRESS CHINA’S TECHNOLOGY ABILITY. SO THIS HAS BECOME AN ISSUE OF NATIONALISM AND PATRIOTISM. >> WELL. THEY’RE NOT GOING TO LET GO OF THIS EASILY. BUT THAT’S INTERESTING, SYLEENA, DOESN’T THAT UNDERCUT THAT IF TIKTOK IS SAYING, HEY, THIS IS ALL ABOUT FIRST AMENDMENT MAN, LIKE YOU CAN’T DO THIS. >> WE’RE JUST A PRIVATE COMPANY TRYING TO DO OUR THING. BY THE WAY, CHINA WON’T LET US BOLSTER THE IDEA FROM THE U.S. THAT THIS IS A NATIONAL SECURITY ISSUE, THEN. >> YEAH, AND ACTUALLY, TIKTOK HAS DONE A NUMBER OF THINGS THAT SORT OF COME BACK TO BITE THEM, INCLUDING TRYING TO MOBILIZE ALL OF THE YOUNG PEOPLE WHO USE THE APP. >> IF YOU HAVE A STORY ABOUT HOW TIKTOK IMPACTS YOUR LIFE, WE WILL LOVE FOR YOU TO SHARE IT, TO SHOWCASE EXACTLY WHAT WE’RE FIGHTING FOR, WHICH MADE LAWMAKERS THINK ,WOW, THIS IS A REALLY POWERFUL APP. BUT WHAT THE CHINESE GOVERNMENT COULD POSSIBLY DO WITH THIS HUGE, INFLUENTIAL NETWORK. >> GOOD AFTERNOON. THANK YOU FOR CALLING THE OFFICE OF CONGRESSMAN RON DESANTIS. >> HOW CAN I HELP YOU? HELLO. I GOT NOTES ON MY PHONE THAT I HEARD THAT YOU GUYS ARE TRYING TO BAN TIKTOK. >> I KNOW. SO. AND TIK TOK IS INTENTIONALLY MISLEADING YOU, NOT TO MENTION BRAD AS WELL, THAT THIS IS HYPOCRITICAL ON THE PART OF THE CHINESE GOVERNMENT. CHINA HAS ESSENTIALLY BANNED EVERY SINGLE MAJOR FOREIGN SOCIAL MEDIA APP. THINK ABOUT GOOGLE, FACEBOOK, YOUTUBE, TWITTER. TIKTOK EVEN IS BANNED WITHIN CHINA’S BORDERS. SO TO SIMPLY DO MY JOB, WHEN I WAS BASED IN CHINA, I HAD TO USE A VIRTUAL PRIVATE NETWORK OR VPN TO GET AROUND CHINA’S INTERNET FIREWALL AND HYPOCRITICAL FROM CHINA. >> TIKTOK ALSO SAYS IT’S HYPOCRITICAL OF JOE BIDEN CONSIDERING HIS CAMPAIGN USES TIKTOK THAT THEY SAY IS SO DAMAGING HERE. >> SELINA WHAT WHAT ARE THE NEXT STEPS THEN? LIKE IF YOU’RE TRYING TO SELL IT, HOW DOES THAT WORK OR, YOU KNOW, AND HOW DOES THIS LAWSUIT AFFECT EVERYTHING. >> YEAH, EXACTLY. SO TO AVOID THIS BAN, IF TIKTOK CAN FIND A A US BUYER, WELL THEN THEY CAN AVOID ALL OF THIS. BUT SOURCES BEEN TELLING ME THAT IT WOULD BE VERY, VERY HARD TO FIND A BUYER THAT COULD AFFORD TIKTOK AND COMPLETE THIS TRANSACTION WITHIN A YEAR. >> IN FACT, SOME SOURCES HAVE TOLD ME THAT IT’S MORE LIKELY TIKTOK WILL TRY AND GO PUBLIC THAN BE SOLD BECAUSE. THE EXECUTIVES AND INVESTORS OF TIK TOK BELIEVE THAT THERE IS NO ONE IN THE MARKET WHO CAN AFFORD TO BUY TIKTOK AT A FAIR PRICE. WE’RE TALKING TENS OF BILLIONS OF DOLLARS, POTENTIALLY EVEN MORE THAN $100 BILLION. >> THIS IS AN INCREDIBLY EXPENSIVE PROPOSITION. >> UNBELIEVABLE NUMBERS WHEN YOU’RE TALKING ABOUT THAT. AND SO IF IT GOES PUBLIC, ALL OF US CAN OWN TIKTOK, INCLUDING CONSUMERS IN CHINA AND ANY OTHER COUNTRY. >> ALL RIGHT, SELINA WANG, THANK YOU SO MUCH. YOU GOT IT. BRAD. >> OKAY. ONE MORE QUICK BREAK. WHEN WE COME BACK, SOMEBODY FRUIT SALAD IS ABOUT TO GET A SERIOUS GLOW UP. >> WELCOME TO PINEAPPLE EXPRESS . ONE LAST THING IS NEXT FRIDAY NIGHT, TWO TEENAGERS LEFT TO GO TO A BIRTHDAY PARTY BUT NEVER REACH THEIR DESTINATION. BOTH MEN WAS SHOT EXECUTION STYLE. I COULD HEAR MY HEART BEATING A COLD CASE THAT’S POSSIBLY BEEN CRACKED. THE HELP OF DNA EVIDENCE AND PRETTY MUCH ALL HELL BREAKS LOOSE. A MINISTER CHARGED WITH MURDER. WERE YOU WORRIED THAT THIS BLACK MAN, YOUR HUSBAND, IS BEING ACCUSED OF MURDERING TWO WHITE TEENAGE GIRLS? >> MAYBE YOU WERE LIVING WITH SOMEBODY YOU JUST DIDN’T KNOW. >> THEN YOU 2024 FRIDAY NIGHT ON ABC. LET’S GO. THE SHIP IS INCREDIBLE. IT FEELS LIKE LIVING IN A SCIENCE FICTION MOVIE WE JUST SAW WHERE NO ONE HAS SEEN BEFORE. LOOK AT THAT. OH, MY GOD. I HAVE NEVER HEARD. WE ARE HEADING INTO THE UNKNOWN. HAMMER, HAMMER AND IT DOESN’T GET ANY MORE CUTTING EDGE. AND THIS TONIGHT TRACKING THE DEADLY TORNADO OUTBREAK AND DAMAGE AS THE SEVERE WEATHER MOVED FAST ACROSS ISRAEL-HAMAS WAR AND RAFAH. WHAT HAPPENS NEXT? MORE AMERICANS TURN TO WORLD NEWS TONIGHT FOR DAVID MUIR, THE MOST WATCHED NEWSCAST ON TELEVISION FROM THE TEAM THAT BROUGHT YOU THE DUPONT AWARD WINNING REPORT. A GROUNDBREAKING NEW INVESTIGATION SPANNING 9000 MILES TRASHED THE SECRET LIFE OF PLASTIC EXPORTS STREAMED FREE ON HULU. AND ONE LAST THING. WHAT’S MOST YOU’LL PAY FOR GOOD FRUIT? LIKE? WHEN I’M AT THE GROCERY STORE, I’M HUNTING SALES ON STRAWBERRIES, BUT PUT ME IN A FARMER’S MARKET AND SUDDENLY I’M LIKE, OH, $8. SOUNDS REASONABLE. THEY’RE ORGANIC, RIGHT? WELL, A FEW DAYS AGO, MONTE, THE AGRICULTURE BEHEMOTH, ANNOUNCED THE ARRIVAL A NEW TYPE OF PINEAPPLE CALLED THE RUBYGLOW. IT’S RED ON THE OUTSIDE, LUSH AND YELLOW ON THE INSIDE, AND IT COSTS NEARLY $400. >> I CAN A BEAUTIFUL RED EXTERIOR AND YELLOW INTERIOR. >> IT’S REALLY A SPECIAL FRUIT. I’M NOT MAKING THIS UP. THIS IS A REGULAR PINEAPPLE CREATED IN COSTA RICA. ITS SOLE U.S. DISTRIBUTOR, MELISSA’S PRODUCE, SAYS ITS SMOOTH, NOT TOO STRINGY, VERY LOW IN ACIDITY. IT ALSO COMES IN A FANCY BOX. >> AND IN SOME WAYS, THIS IS A RETURN TO FORM THE PINEAPPLE. >> BACK IN THE DAY, THEY WERE WAY MORE EXPENSIVE WHEN CHRISTOPHER COLUMBUS BROUGHT SOME OF THE FIRST PINEAPPLES BACK TO EUROPE, PEOPLE WENT MAD FOR THEM. THEY WERE SO RARE AND COVETED THAT ARISTOCRATS WOULD PAY THE MODERN DAY EQUIVALENT OF 8000 BUCKS FOR THEM. IN ENGLAND, PEOPLE WOULD EVEN RENT A PINEAPPLE TO PUT ON THE TABLE FOR A FANCY PARTY. YOU DIDN’T EAT IT? GOD, NO. YOU JUST RENTED IT. YOU GAVE IT BACK. THEN YOU’D SEE IT SLIGHTLY MORE ROTTEN AT YOUR NEIGHBORS PARTY NEXT WEEK. SOME PEOPLE RENTED PINEAPPLES CARRY AROUND LIKE RENT THE RUNWAY FOR TROPICAL FRUIT. THE THING CHANGED, OF COURSE, IS WE NOW HAVE AN AGRICULTURAL SYSTEM IN GLOBAL SUPPLY CHAIN THAT CAN SHIP CHEAP FRUIT ANYWHERE. WHAT HASN’T CHANGED IS THE FACT THAT TRADERS WANT TO MAKE MONEY AND THAT WEALTHY FOLKS WILL PAY ALMOST ANYTHING FOR THE NEXT NOVELTY ITEM. >> NOT ONLY DOES IT LOOK BEAUTIFUL, IT TASTES BEAUTIFUL. >> IN RECENT, DEL MONTE HAS CULTIVATED NEW PINEAPPLE VARIETIES LIKE THE PINKGLOW WITH FLESH THAT’S BRIGHT PINK. >> BUT FORGET PINEAPPLES. EVEN RESEARCHERS. THE UNIVERSITY OF ARKANSAS CREATED A THORN LIST BLACKBERRY . AND LAST YEAR, UC RIVERSIDE DEBUTED THE NEW LUNA AVOCADO DOUGH, WHICH WAS SPECIFICALLY BRED TO GROW OFF SMALLER TREES AND TO SHIP MORE. IT’S A REMINDER THAT NEARLY EVERY PIECE OF PRODUCE YOU EAT IS THE OF CAREFUL CULTIVATION, AND THAT CENTURIES LATER THE IP ON NEW ONES IS STILL WORTH A WINDFALL. THERE’S ALSO, IN THE LAST COUPLE OF YEARS THIS NEW KIND OF MINI PINEAPPLE NAMED THE HONEYGLOW, WHICH CAN BE EASILY CARRIED ONE HAND IT’S $12 AND THEN IT’S 30 EXTRA DOLLARS TO SHIP. LIKE, I’VE GOT TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO CUT ONE OF THESE THINGS MORE RELIABLY BEFORE I GO, LIKE INVESTING IN THEM MORE. AND ALL THESE STORIES AT ABC NEWS.COM OR THE ABC NEWS APP.

THIS MORNING, SIGNIFICANT DAMAGE ACROSS SOUTHWEST MICHIGAN. MULTIPLE TORNADOES TOUCHING DOWN, RIPPING APART BUILDINGS, SCATTERING DEBRIS, LEAVING TENS OF THOUSANDS WITHOUT POWER. THIS FEDEX FACILITY COLLAPSING AFTER A TWISTER PASSED THROUGH THE CITY OF PORTAGE, TRAPPING ABOUT 50 WORKERS. THE TORNADO ALSO DAMAGING HOMES AND A STRIP MALL. SEVERAL RESIDENTS TOOK SHELTER IN THE LOCAL LIBRARY. >> THE MAN IN CHARGE OF THE LIBRARY LET EVERYBODY COME IN THAT WANTED TO COME IN, YOU KNOW, TO THE LIBRARY FOR SAFETY. SO WE CAME HOME, GOT HERE, AND THEY WERE PULLING SOMEBODY OUT OF THE RUBBLE OVER THERE. >> DAMAGE ALSO REPORTED IN NEARBY UNION CITY AND KALAMAZOO. HAIRSTYLIST AMANDA MILLER ESCAPED INJURY WITH HER CUSTOMER AND COWORKERS AS A TORNADO TORE THE ROOF OFF HER BARBERSHOP. >> ONE PHOTO IS LIKE THE SALON FLOOR, AND IT’S LIKE KNEE DEEP WITH INSULATION AND ROOFING AND STUFF. I JUST LIKE DOVE FOR IT TO THE BREAK ROOM, BECAUSE I KNEW THAT WAS GOING TO BE LIKE WHERE THE LEAST AMOUNT OF LIKE, DEBRIS AND STUFF WOULD COME IN. >> TORNADOES ALSO SPOTTED OVERNIGHT IN PARTS OF INDIANA AND OHIO. THE SAME STORM SYSTEM ALREADY SPAWNED AT LEAST 19 TORNADOES ACROSS THE PLAINS, KILLING ONE PERSON IN BARNSDALL, OKLAHOMA, 20 MILES NORTHEAST OF BARTLESVILLE. PEOPLE DOVE FOR COVER INTO THIS HAMPTON INN AS TWO BY FOURS PIERCED THE HOTEL’S OUTER WALLS LIKE SPEARS. BACK IN PORTAGE, MICHIGAN, THIS RAINBOW WAS SPOTTED OVER THAT FEDEX FACILITY AFTER AUTHORITIES REPORTED NO SERIOUS INJURIES. MORE STORMS ARE EXPECTED TODAY FROM TEXAS TO THE OHIO RIVER VALLEY. THE FULL FORECAST IN JUST A FEW MOMENTS. >> NOW TO THE FALLOUT FROM STORMY DANIELS TESTIMONY AT THE TRUMP HUSH MONEY TRIAL. WE HAVE NOW LEARNED WHY A JUDGE WAS NOT HAPPY WITH THE FORMER PRESIDENT DURING YESTERDAY’S TESTIMONY. HERE’S ABC’S LIONEL MOISE. >> NEW DETAILS ABOUT WHAT WAS HAPPENING INSIDE COURT, AS FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP AND STAR STORMY DANIELS CAME FACE TO FACE FOR THE FIRST TIME IN MORE THAN A DECADE, A COURT TRANSCRIPT OF A SIDEBAR CONVERSATION. NOW REVEALS TRUMP WAS CURSING DURING DANIELS TESTIMONY YESTERDAY. JUDGE JUAN MERCHAN TELLING TRUMP’S ATTORNEY, I UNDERSTAND THAT YOUR CLIENT IS UPSET AT THIS POINT, BUT HE IS CURSING AUDIBLY AND HE IS SHAKING HIS HEAD VISUALLY, AND THAT’S CONTEMPTUOUS, AND IT HAS THE POTENTIAL TO INTIMIDATE THE WITNESS AND THE JURY CAN SEE THAT TRUMP’S ATTORNEY RESPONDING, I WILL TALK TO HIM, THE JUDGE LATER SAYING, SO I’M SPEAKING TO YOU HERE AT THE BENCH BECAUSE I DON’T WANT TO EMBARRASS HIM. ADDING I WON’T TOLERATE THAT. TRUMP’S LEGAL TEAM HAD TRIED TO BLOCK DANIELS FROM TESTIFYING, BUT PROSECUTORS ARGUED THE DETAILS OF THE ENCOUNTER ARE IMPORTANT. THE JUDGE AGREED, AND DANIELS IN COURT DESCRIBED HER ALLEGED AFFAIR WITH TRUMP, WHICH TRUMP HAS DENIED. SHE TOLD THE JURY THEY MET AT A GOLF TOURNAMENT IN 2006, AND SHE WAS INVITED TO HAVE DINNER AT HIS HOTEL SUITE. DANIELS SAID WHEN SHE ARRIVED, TRUMP WAS IN SILK OR SATIN PAJAMAS. SHE TOLD HIM TO GO CHANGE, SHE SAID. THEY TALKED FOR HOURS AND AT ONE POINT SHE WENT TO THE BATHROOM AND CAME TO FIND TRUMP ON THE BED IN HIS BOXER SHORTS AND T SHIRT. DANIELS SAYS SHE WAS STARTLED, WONDERING TO HERSELF, OH MY GOD, WHAT DID I MISREAD? SHE THEN TESTIFIED IN GRAPHIC DETAIL ABOUT HAVING SEX WITH TRUMP AS TRUMP’S LAWYER REPEATEDLY TRIED TO INTERVENE. THE JUDGE AT ONE POINT CALLED THE LEVEL OF DETAIL JUST UNNECESSARY, LATER ADDING THERE ARE SOME THINGS THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN BETTER LEFT UNSAID. TRUMP’S LEGAL TEAM DEMANDED A MISTRIAL, CALLING DANIELS TESTIMONY EXTRAORDINARILY PREJUDICIAL, BUT THE JUDGE DENIED THE REQUEST. LEGAL EXPERTS SAY WHILE THE CASE IS NOT ABOUT THE ALLEGED ENCOUNTER BETWEEN TRUMP AND DANIELS, THOSE DETAILS MAY BE IMPORTANT FOR PROSECUTORS TO LAY OUT THEIR CASE. >> THEY DON’T HAVE TO PROVE BEYOND A REASONABLE DOUBT THEY HAD THEY HAD SEX. THEY DON’T HAVE TO PROVE BEYOND REASONABLE DOUBT THAT THEY EVEN KNEW EACH OTHER. THEY HAVE TO PROVE BEYOND A REASONABLE DOUBT THAT THE CHECKS WERE CUT, THAT IT WAS DECIDED TO PUT IT IN THE BOOK. IMPROPER AND THEN OR LABEL IT IN ACCURATELY. AND THAT THAT WAS BEING DONE FOR ELECTION LAW. FRAUD. >> DANIELS DESCRIBED THE HUSH MONEY ARRANGEMENT SHE ENTERED INTO JUST WEEKS BEFORE THE 2016 ELECTION, SELLING HER STORY FOR $130,000 IN A DEAL BROKERED BY TRUMP’S FORMER FIXER MICHAEL COHEN, SAYING SHE DIDN’T ASK FOR MORE BECAUSE SHE DIDN’T CARE ABOUT THE MONEY. TRUMP’S ATTORNEYS TAKING ISSUE WITH THAT CLAIM AND GETTING DANIELS TO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT SHE, QUOTE, HATES TRUMP. LATER, DANIELS WAS SEEN LEAVING THE COURT AS TRUMP ADDRESSED REPORTERS. >> SO THIS WAS A VERY BIG DAY, A VERY REVEALING DAY AS YOU SEE THEIR CASES TOTALLY FALLING APART. >> COURT IS NOT IN SESSION TODAY. DANIELS WILL RETURN TO THE STAND FOR MORE CROSS-EXAMINATION TOMORROW. RHIANNON ANDREW. >> LIONEL. THANK YOU. THE BODY OF THE SIXTH AND FINAL VICTIM OF THE BALTIMORE BRIDGE COLLAPSE HAS BEEN RECOVERED. THE 37 YEAR OLD MAN WAS WORKING ON THE BRIDGE WHEN IT WAS HIT BY A CARGO SHIP AND COLLAPSED BACK IN MARCH. THE SHIP’S CONTAINERS ARE ALSO BEING REMOVED IN HOPES OF FULLY REOPENING BALTIMORE’S PORT BY THE END OF THIS MONTH, BREAKING OVERNIGHT NEW DETAILS ON WHY THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION IS PAUSING WEAPONS SHIPMENTS TO ISRAEL AMID NEW ATTACKS IN SOUTHERN GAZA. >> ABC’S EM NGUYEN IS HERE NOW WITH THE LATEST. GOOD MORNING RHIANNON. >> GOOD MORNING. YEAH. THIS APPEARS TO BE A MAJOR POLICY SHIFT BY THE WHITE HOUSE. SENDING A MESSAGE TO ISRAEL BY PAUSING A SHIPMENT OF MORE THAN 3000 BOMBS. A SENIOR U.S. OFFICIAL SAYS THE ADMINISTRATION LAST WEEK HELD BACK THE DELIVERY OUT OF CONCERN THAT THE WEAPONS ARE SIMILAR TO THE KIND OF BOMBS THAT COULD BE USED IN RAFAH, WHERE MORE THAN A MILLION PALESTINIAN CIVILIANS HAVE SOUGHT SHELTER SINCE THE WAR BEGAN. THE WHITE HOUSE OPPOSES AN ISRAELI GROUND INVASION THERE. UNLESS THERE’S A CREDIBLE PLAN TO PROTECT THOSE CIVILIANS. ISRAELI TROOPS ENTERED RAFAH YESTERDAY. A TANK WAS SEEN CRUSHING AN I LOVE GAZA SIGN AS TROOPS TOOK CONTROL OF A BORDER CROSSING. BUT U.S. OFFICIALS INSIST ISRAEL HAS NOT YET LAUNCHED A FULL SCALE INVASION. >> OUR UNDERSTANDING IS THAT THIS WAS A VERY LIMITED OPERATION DESIGNED TO CUT OFF, HAMAS’S ABILITY TO SMUGGLE MORE WEAPONS AND FUNDING INTO GAZA. >> MEANWHILE, HAMAS AND ISRAELI NEGOTIATORS ARE IN EGYPT FOR MORE CEASEFIRE TALKS. HAMAS SAYS IT WILL OPPOSE ANY CEASEFIRE HOSTAGE DEAL AS LONG AS ISRAEL’S OPERATION IN RAFAH CONTINUES. ISRAEL SAYS THE OPERATION IN RAFAH IS NECESSARY TO ELIMINATE HAMAS MILITANTS HIDING IN THAT CITY. RHIANNON. ALL RIGHT. >> AND, GWEN, THANK YOU. AUTHORITIES IN UKRAINE SAY THEY HAVE FOILED A PLOT TO ASSASSINATE PRESIDENT ZELENSKY. THEY ARRESTED TWO UKRAINIAN COLONELS ACCUSED OF SPYING FOR RUSSIA. THEY SAY THE PLAN WAS TO IDENTIFY THE PEOPLE CLOSEST TO ZELENSKY WHO COULD TAKE HIM HOSTAGE. >> POLICE ARE INVESTIGATING A SHOOTING OUTSIDE THE TORONTO MANSION OF RAPPER DRAKE. A SECURITY GUARD WAS SERIOUSLY WOUNDED. THE SHOOTER IS ON THE RUN. POLICE HAVE NOT SAID IF THE DRIVE BY IS CONNECTED TO AN ONGOING FEUD BETWEEN DRAKE AND FELLOW RAPPER KENDRICK LAMAR. THE TWO HAVE EXCHANGED INSULTS IN RECENT DAYS. INVESTIGATORS ARE ANALYZING VIDEO FROM THE SCENE. >> I CAN SAY THAT WE’VE ALREADY COLLECTED SOME, VIDEO EVIDENCE WHICH CAPTURES THE INCIDENT. THIS IS NO DIFFERENT THAN ANY OTHER INVESTIGATION. OKAY, LIKE IT’S MAYBE MORE HIGH PROFILE BECAUSE THERE’S MORE PEOPLE HERE, BUT WE TREAT IT LIKE ANY OTHER INCIDENT. >> OVER THE WEEKEND, KENDRICK LAMAR POSTED A VIDEO SHOWING AN AERIAL PHOTO OF DRAKE’S MANSION. >> IT IS TIME NOW FOR YOUR WEDNESDAY WEATHER. >> GOOD MORNING. UNFORTUNATELY, ANOTHER RISK FOR SEVERE WEATHER AS WE HEAD THROUGH TODAY. A HIGH WEATHER RISK AS WE LOOK ACROSS THE OHIO, MISSISSIPPI RIVER CONFLUENCE, CAPE GIRARDEAU, PADUCAH AND LOUISVILLE ALL IN THE ZONE WHICH INCLUDES THE RISK FOR TORNADOES THURSDAY. WE STILL HAVE ANOTHER RISK FOR SEVERE WEATHER, INCLUDING ISOLATED TORNADOES AND DAMAGING HAIL, POTENTIALLY, BUT WE WILL BE TALKING ABOUT THE GREATEST RISK FOR SEVERE WEATHER AS WE HEAD THROUGH TODAY. WATCH THOSE THUNDERSTORMS FIRE UP THROUGH THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING HOURS AND CONTINUE TO PUSH TO THE SOUTHEAST OVERNIGHT FOR ACCUWEATHER. I’M ALSO KONSTANZER . >> COMING UP, NEW TROUBLE FOR AN NFL STAR. >> BUT FIRST, THE CAFFEINATED DRINK PULLED OFF THE MENU AT A RESTAURANT CHAIN AFTER BEING LINKED TO TWO DEATHS.

PRESIDENT BIDEN SIGNED A LAW LAST MONTH THAT WOULD BAN TIKTOK UNLESS IT SOLD TO A NON-CHINESE BUYER IN 9 TO 12 MONTHS. CONGRESSIONAL LEADERS AND THE FBI HAVE WARNED CHINA’S GOVERNMENT MAY BE ABLE TO USE TIKTOK TO CONTROL SOFTWARE ON ITS 170 MILLION USERS DEVICES, THEY SAID. >> WE WANT YOU TO PUT OUT VIDEOS THAT MAKE AMERICANS FIGHT WITH EACH OTHER OR SPREAD CONSPIRACY THEORIES AND GET THEM AT EACH OTHER’S THROAT, BYTEDANCE DOESN’T HAVE CAN’T GO TO CHINESE COURT AND FIGHT THE COMMUNIST PARTY. THEY WOULD HAVE TO DO IT. >> THAT’S MY UNDERSTANDING. >> BUT TIKTOK DENIES ANY SECURITY RISK. >> I HAVE SEEN NO EVIDENCE THAT THE CHINESE GOVERNMENT HAS ACCESS TO THAT DATA. >> THE NEW LAWSUIT ALSO ARGUES SELLING THE APP SO QUICKLY WOULD NOT BE FEASIBLE DUE TO WHAT WOULD BE ITS HUGE PRICE TAG AND THE SOPHISTICATED CODE AND ALGORITHM THAT UNDERPINS THE APP. GOOGLE’S FORMER CEO, WHO ONCE CONSIDERED BUYING TIKTOK, SAYS THE APP SHOULD NOT BE BANNED. >> MY OWN VIEW OF TIKTOK IS THAT TIKTOK IS NOT REALLY SOCIAL MEDIA. IT’S REALLY TELEVISION, AND THAT YOU CAN REGULATE TELEVISION BY THE EQUIVALENT OF THE EQUAL TIME RULE. BUT SOMEHOW WE’RE NOT HAVING THAT CONVERSATION. >> BUT A NEW POLL FINDS MOST AMERICANS 53% SUPPORT BANNING TIKTOK. IF IT’S NOT SOLD. THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME BYTEDANCE HAS FILED A LAWSUIT IN THE U.S. IT SUED THE STATE OF MONTANA LAST YEAR BECAUSE OF A SIMILAR BAN, AND A FEDERAL JUDGE RULED IN FAVOR OF TIKTOK AND BLOCKED THE LAW.

BECAUSE OF YOU, YOU KNOW, YOU’VE STRUCK A NERVE. WE START HERE. >> STORMY DANIELS TAKES THE STAND AGAINST FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP. THEY WERE A BIT GROSS FOR ALL THE DETAILS OF A LEWD LIAISON. HOW MUCH DAMAGE DID THIS DO? PRESIDENT BIDEN MAKES A PLEA ON BEHALF OF AMERICAN JEWS. >> THERE’S NO PLACE ON ANY CAMPUS IN AMERICA, ANY PLACE IN AMERICA FOR ANTI-SEMITISM OR HATE SPEECH OR THREATS OF VIOLENCE OF ANY KIND. >> AS ISRAEL BEGINS ITS INCURSION INTO RAFAH, THE U.S. HAS TAKEN A DRAMATIC STEP IN RESPONSE AND TICK TOCK CLAPS BACK. >> THIS HAS BECOME AN ISSUE OF NATIONALISM AND PATRIOTISM AS WELL. THEY’RE NOT GOING TO LET GO OF THIS EASILY BY THE SOCIAL MEDIA COMPANY SAYS IT CAN’T BE SOLD EVEN IF IT WANTED TO. FROM ABC NEWS. THIS IS "START HERE". I’M BRAD MIELKE AT THE HEART OF THE CASE. THE PEOPLE OF NEW YORK VERSUS DONALD TRUMP IS A STORY THAT TRUMP NEVER WANTED OUT THERE. REMEMBER, IN THE WEEKS LEADING INTO THE 2016 PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION, AN OLD OUTTAKE FROM "ACCESS HOLLYWOOD" HAD EMERGED. I GOT YOU SOME TISSUE CANCER CASES THAT KISSINGER. THIS GRAPHIC CONVERSATION RECORDED IN 2005 AND OBTAINED BY THE WASHINGTON POST, CAPTURES TRUMP BRAGGING ABOUT ASSAULTING WOMEN, GRABBED HIM BY THE. I CAN DO ANYTHING. THIS BECAME A CAMPAIGN CRISIS THAT OCTOBER TRUMP WAS DEEMED TOXIC TO WOMEN, TO VALUES VOTERS. >> REPUBLICAN LAWMAKERS WERE BEGGING HIM TO DROP OUT OF THE RACE. I’VE SAID AND DONE THINGS I REGRET, AND THE WORDS RELEASED TODAY ON THIS MORE THAN A DECADE OLD VIDEO ARE ONE OF THEM. >> AS ALL THIS WAS UNFOLDING BEHIND THE SCENES, ANOTHER STORY IS BEING FLOATED TO TABLOIDS, A STORY THAT TRUMP AT ONE TIME HAD A ENCOUNTER WITH A PORN STAR, AN ACTRESS GOING BY THE NAME OF STORMY DANIELS. DANIELS ENDED UP GETTING $100,000 TO NOT SAY ANYTHING ABOUT THIS. NO ONE’S DENYING A PAYMENT WAS MADE TO SILENCE HER STORY. BUT ONLY TWO PEOPLE REALLY KNOW IF THAT STORY WAS TRUE. TO BEGIN WITH. YESTERDAY, ONE OF THEM WAS AT THE DEFENSE TABLE, ACCUSED OF FALSIFYING ELECTION FINANCE DOCUMENTS WHILE THE OTHER WAS CALLED TO THE STAND. THIS TESTIMONY FROM STORMY DANIELS WAS NOT JUST COMPELLING, IT WAS GRAPHIC. IT WAS INTIMATE. IT WAS UNDOUBTEDLY EMBARRASSING. AND IT COULD HAVE PROFOUND IMPLICATIONS FOR THIS CASE. LET’S TALK TODAY WITH ABC’S CHIEF LEGAL ANALYST, DAN ABRAMS. AND DAN, THIS TESTIMONY WAS SHOCKING TO THE POINT WHERE I FEEL LIKE WE SHOULD WARN PEOPLE THAT THIS WAS ALLEGEDLY A CONSENSUAL AFFAIR. BUT I’M JUST SAYING, LIKE, IF YOU GET GROSSED OUT EASILY OR GET KIDS IN THE CAR, I MEAN, YOU CAN SKIP AHEAD A COUPLE OF MINUTES. >> WHAT WAS ALLEGED HERE BY STORMY DANIELS. >> SO WE GOT A LOT OF DETAILS ABOUT WHAT STORMY DANIELS SAYS HAPPENED BETWEEN HER AND DONALD TRUMP ABOUT THE PAJAMAS THAT HE WAS WEARING. ABOUT EXACTLY WHAT HE SAID TO HER, ABOUT THE SEX, WHAT HE SAID AFTERWARDS. >> YOU KNOW, THEY THEY WERE A BIT GROSS, BUT IT WAS THE HEART OF WHAT LED TO ALL OF THIS. >> AND SO THE REASON THERE WAS THIS CALL FOR A MISTRIAL IN PART WAS THE AMOUNT OF DETAIL THAT SHE PROVIDED INFORMATION THAT THE DEFENSE TEAM BELIEVES IS BOTH UNNECESSARY AND INCREDIBLY PREJUDICIAL TO DONALD TRUMP. >> THEY’RE ASKING IF HE WAS WEARING A CONDOM. RIGHT. LIKE IT WENT. EVERYTHING WAS PART OF THIS. RIGHT. BRAD? I DIDN’T KNOW HOW FAR YOU’D WANT ME TO GO ON THIS. SO. YES. YES, THEY WERE. THAT WAS PART OF WHAT THEY WERE TALKING ABOUT, IS HIM NOT WEARING A CONDOM. SO THAT’S THE KIND OF DETAIL THAT THAT THEY WERE TALKING ABOUT. YOU KNOW, WHAT POSITION THE SEX WAS IN. AND SO THE THE EXPLANATION FROM THE PROSECUTORS WOULD BE THAT THE DETAILS JUST SHOW YOU HOW CREDIBLE SHE IS WHEN DESCRIBES EXACTLY WHAT THE ROOM LOOKED LIKE, WHAT HE SAID. >> A PLAYFUL MOMENT THAT THEY HAD WHERE HE HAS A MAGAZINE WITH HIMSELF ON THE COVER. AND SHE SAYS SHE’S GOING TO SPANK HIM WITH IT AND SHE DOES. >> SO. >> IT WAS INCREDIBLY INTERESTING. >> BUT ONE COULD ARGUE NOT THAT RELEVANT TO THE FUNDAMENTAL QUESTIONS AS LEGAL MATTERS IN THE CASE. >> WELL, THAT’S THE ISSUE, RIGHT, BECAUSE IT’S LIKE HE’S NOT BEING CHARGED WITH HAVING AN AFFAIR. HE’S NOT EVEN BEING CHARGED WITH MAKING A HUSH MONEY PAYMENT. THOSE AREN’T ILLEGAL. HE’S BEING CHARGED WITH FALSIFYING DOCUMENTS ABOUT THE HUSH MONEY. SO WHY DOES ANYONE EVEN NEED TO HEAR ABOUT THE ALLEGED ENCOUNTER? >> RIGHT. I’D SAY FOR TWO REASONS. FIRST OF ALL, BECAUSE IF HE WAS DOING IT TO IMPACT THE ELECTION IS ONE OF THE CRITICAL QUESTIONS. AND, YOU KNOW, THE TIMING OF ALL OF THIS. SHE’S INVOLVED IN THE NEGOTIATION, RIGHT? >> SHE ISN’T JUST THERE FOR THE SEX. SHE’S ALSO THERE AS PART OF THE NEGOTIATION FOR THE MONEY. AND SO THAT’S RELEVANT. I THINK THERE’S A SECOND FACTOR HERE, AND THAT IS THAT DONALD TRUMP IS DENYING IT EVEN HAPPENED. IF DONALD TRUMP HAD CONCEDED, YES, WE HAD SEX, IT WAS CONSENSUAL. I SHOULDN’T HAVE DONE IT. IT WAS A MISTAKE. I THINK AT THAT POINT THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN AN ARGUMENT TO SAY, DO WE REALLY NEED HER TO TESTIFY ABOUT THE SEX. >> BUT BECAUSE DONALD TRUMP IS DENYING IT, I THINK IT BECOMES MORE RELEVANT IN THE CONTEXT OF THE CASE. >> AND SO LIKE A CREDIBILITY THING. WELL, BUT JUST ALSO BECAUSE THE PROSECUTION IS LAYING THE FOUNDATION FOR THE CIRCUMSTANCES SURROUNDING THE NEGOTIATION AND KNOWING WHETHER IT HAPPENED OR NOT IS A RELEVANT FACTOR. MEANING IF YOU BELIEVE IT DID NOT HAPPEN. >> RIGHT. IF THERE’S NOTHING TO SUGGEST THAT THIS EVER HAPPENED, THE NEGOTIATION OVER THE MONEY, I THINK, BECOMES A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT. NOW, THE TRUMP TEAM MAY SAY IT SHOULDN’T MATTER. RIGHT. IT WAS A PAYOFF THAT HE SHOULDN’T HAVE HAD TO MAKE. REGARDLESS, HE MADE IT BECAUSE THIS WAS A NUISANCE, THEY WOULD SAY. >> BUT WHEN THE THE CIRCUMSTANCES SURROUNDING THE NEGOTIATION ARE SO RELEVANT IN TERMS OF HIS MOTIVATIONS, WAS IT TO TRY TO IMPACT THE ELECTION? WAS IT TO TRY TO KEEP THIS INFORMATION OUT BECAUSE IT WAS SO CLOSE TO THE ELECTION? >> I DO THINK THAT DETAIL BECOMES THAT MUCH MORE IMPORTANT. >> SO AFTER STORMY DANIELS GIVES HER DIRECT EXAMINATION AND THE DEFENSE COMES UP AND IS LIKE, YOU’VE GOT TO ISSUE A MISTRIAL LIKE THIS JURY IS TAINTED FROM HERE ON OUT, THE JUDGE BASICALLY SAID NO. >> THAT’S WHAT CROSS-EXAMINATION IS FOR. I MEAN, HOW DID THE DEFENSE HANDLE? IT SOUNDED LIKE THEY WERE TRYING TO ESSENTIALLY TO UNDERMINE ANY CREDIBILITY SHE HAD AT ALL. WELL, LOOK, I THINK THAT THERE IS A LEGITIMATE ARGUMENT THAT SHE WENT TOO FAR IN TERMS OF SOME OF WHAT SHE WAS TESTIFYING ABOUT. AND I THINK THE JUDGE EVEN RECOGNIZED THAT. RIGHT. HE WAS SAYING, OH, YOU KNOW, I WISH SHE HADN’T SAID SOME OF WHAT SHE SAID. >> BUT, YOU KNOW, THAT HAPPENS IN TRIALS. >> SO ON CROSS-EXAMINATION, THE DEFENSE IS TRYING TO SHOW THAT SHE REALLY HATES DONALD TRUMP AND SHE’LL SAY ANYTHING TO GET DONALD TRUMP CONVICTED HERE. AND SHE ADMITTED THAT SHE HATES DONALD TRUMP. BUT WHEN ASKED. AND SO, YOU KNOW, YOU WANT TO SEE HIM GO TO JAIL, DON’T YOU? SHE YOU KNOW, SHE SHE RECOGNIZED THE TRAP THAT WAS BEING SET AND BASICALLY RESPONDED THAT IF THE JURY FINDS HIM GUILTY, YOU KNOW, THAT’S THE ISSUE. >> SO SO THERE WAS THERE WAS A COUCHING OF HER ANSWERS. >> YES. SHE ADMITTED THAT SHE HAS ANIMUS TOWARDS DONALD TRUMP, BUT DIDN’T GO AS FAR AS TO SAY. >> AND YES, I’M GOING TO SAY ANYTHING THAT WILL GET HIM CONVICTED BECAUSE SHE’S SAYING I’M JUST TELLING THE TRUTH. I’M JUST TELLING MY STORY. REALLY INTERESTING. AND AGAIN, WE LOOK AT ALL THESE CASES ON THE HORIZON. NONE OF THE OTHER ONES ARE GOING TO TRIAL ANYTIME SOON. IN FACT, WHEN YOU LOOK ABOUT THE CASE, ABOUT THE HANDLING OF CLASSIFIED DOCUMENTS BY FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP, A FEDERAL JUDGE JUST DELAYED THAT TRIAL INDEFINITELY. SO STAKES COULDN’T BE HIGHER HERE IN NEW YORK. DAN ABRAMS, THANK YOU SO MUCH. SURE. >> NEXT UP ON "START HERE", ISRAEL MAKES THE MOVE INTO ROTH Tonight trapping the deadly tornado outbreak and damage as the severe weather moves east across Israel Hamas war and Rafa what happens next more Americans turn to World News Tonight with David Muir the most-watched news cast on television. Let’s go. The ship is incredible. It feels like living in a science fiction movie. We just saw where no one has seen before look at that. We are heading into the unknown. It doesn’t get any more Cutting Edge and this From the team that brought you the DuPont award winning report a groundbreaking new investigation spanning nine thousand miles trashed the secret life of plastic exports stream free on Hulu. Every kid in America who was a dancer wanted to be on Dance Moms and Abby knew it. I don’t care if they like me or not. So fabulous when it comes down to the way she treated us it was tough. Love you have trouble saying her name. Yeah. I feel like I have trouble just talking about in general. I’m not the bad guy. I was the guy that made it happen. Do you think that he would take back some of the harshness when you look back Dance Moms behind the curtain? This is impact by Nightline. THIS IS "IMPACT X NIGHTLINE" MASCULINE. ARE YOU? FOR THE LAST SEVERAL WEEKS, ISRAEL HAS BEEN OMINOUSLY WARNING OF A MILITARY OPERATION IN RAFAH IN THE SOUTHERN PART OF GAZA. ISRAEL SAYS IT WOULD START TAKING LAND THERE, CLEARING OUT ANY PEOPLE OR INFRASTRUCTURE USED BY HAMAS. YESTERDAY, AN INCURSION SEEMED TO BEGIN AND THAT ISRAELI TROOPS BEGAN MOVING INTO RAFAH JUST PAST THE BORDER CHECKPOINT FOR NOW. REMEMBER, LOTS OF AMERICANS HAD BEGGED PRIME MINISTER BENJAMIN NETANYAHU NOT TO DO THIS, INCLUDING PRESIDENT BIDEN HIMSELF. >> WITHOUT A CREDIBLE PLAN, A CREDIBLE PLAN FOR ENSURING THE SAFETY AND SUPPORT OF MORE THAN 1 MILLION PEOPLE SHELTERING THERE. >> BUT ON THE SAME DAY YESTERDAY, IT WAS HOLOCAUST REMEMBRANCE DAY, WHICH LED TO BIDEN GIVING A FORCEFUL SPEECH ON, ANTI-SEMITISM AT WHAT’S ALSO BECOME AN INFLECTION POINT FOR THE WORLD’S ONLY JEWISH STATE. ABC’S CHIEF NATIONAL CORRESPONDENT MATT GUTMAN JOINED US. MATT, FIRST OFF, RAFAH, WHAT DOES THIS MILITARY OPERATION LOOK LIKE AT THIS MOMENT? >> I THINK COMPARED TO THE START OF THE WAR, THIS APPEARS TO BE LIMITED, RIGHT? THIS IS NOT THE SHOCK AND AWE. THIS IS NOT A MASSIVE BOMBARDMENT OF GAZA CITY THAT WE SEE. AND IT’S NOT THE EVEN SURROUNDING OF HONDURAS IS THE SECOND LARGEST PALESTINIAN CITY THAT WE SAW A COUPLE OF MONTHS BACK. >> THIS SEEMS TO BE MORE OF A PINPOINT STRIKE LAUNCHED FROM THE KEREM SHALOM AREA, WHICH WAS THIS MAJOR BORDER CROSSING THROUGH WHICH MOST OF THE AID WAS GETTING INTO GAZA, WHICH HAMAS OVER THE PAST COUPLE OF DAYS HAS SHELLED. IT WAS SHUT DOWN. ISRAEL PUSHED RIGHT UP AGAINST THE BORDER CROSSING BETWEEN GAZA AND EGYPT IS AN ABSOLUTELY CRITICAL LIFELINE AS WELL. THERE ARE AIRSTRIKES IN RAFAH. WE HEAR THAT THERE ARE DOZENS OF PEOPLE WHO ARE KILLED, SCORES WHO’VE BEEN WOUNDED SO FAR. >> OUR UNDERSTANDING IS THAT THIS WAS A A VERY LIMITED OPERATION DESIGNED TO CUT OFF HAMAS’S ABILITY TO TO SMUGGLE MORE WEAPONS AND FUNDING INTO GAZA. >> BUT THIS IS NOT THE BIG PUSH THAT I THINK THE U.S. HAS BEEN WORRIED ABOUT AND THAT THE THAT ISRAEL HAS TELEGRAPHED FOR THE PAST COUPLE OF MONTHS, ONE THAT WOULD REQUIRE MASS EVACUATION OF WELL OVER A MILLION PALESTINIANS FROM THE VERY SOUTHERN PART OF GAZA, MORE TO THE CENTER AND THE WEST OF IT. >> YEAH, WE’VE BEEN TOLD SOME EVACUATIONS HAVE BEGUN. BUT AGAIN, SO MANY PEOPLE THERE THAT YOU’D IMAGINE THAT WOULD TAKE DAYS OR WEEKS. WHAT IS THE REACTION FROM THE U.S. GOVERNMENT AS AS FAR AS THIS NEW SORT OF MOVE IN TOWARDS RAFAH? >> THEY’RE NOT HAPPY ABOUT IT AND THEY’RE NOT SHY ABOUT MAKING IT KNOWN AT THIS POINT. >> WE DON’T SUPPORT GROUND OPERATIONS IN RAFAH. THAT WOULD PUT THE MAJORITY OR EVEN MANY OF THE CIVILIANS THERE AT ANY GREATER RISK. THEY HAVE BEEN SAYING FOR MONTHS NOW THAT RAFAH IS A BAD IDEA. >> THEY HAVE ALSO BEEN SAYING THAT THEY HAVE NOT BEEN PRESENTED WITH PLANS THAT THEY BELIEVE ARE SUFFICIENT FOR PROTECTING THE 1.5 MILLION PALESTINIANS WHO ARE LIVING IN THAT ENCLAVE. THEY ASSUME THAT ANYWHERE BETWEEN 800,001.2 MILLION WOULD EVACUATE. ISRAEL SAYS IT HAS THESE EVACUATION PLANS. IT SAYS IT’S SETTING UP THESE HUMANITARIAN ISLANDS WITH FOOD AND WATER AND TOILETS AND HOSPITAL TENTS. BUT APPARENTLY, THE U.S. SAYS THIS IS NOT SUFFICIENT. AND WE ARE SEEING FOR THE FIRST TIME A VERY MATERIAL REACTION FROM THE UNITED STATES. THIS IS NOT JUST THE PRESIDENT LASHING OUT, SAYING THAT ISRAEL NEEDS TO DO MORE TO PROTECT CIVILIANS, TO GET MORE HUMANITARIAN AID INTO GAZA. THE U.S. IS HITTING ISRAEL WHERE IT HURTS MOST. WE UNDERSTAND THAT THE NSC DIRECTED THE U.S. AIR FORCE NOT TO DELIVER AND TO SUSPEND THE DELIVERY OF CERTAIN MUNITIONS TO ISRAEL. AND THIS IS SOMETHING THAT VERY SENIOR ISRAELI OFFICIALS TOLD ME JUST A COUPLE OF MONTHS BACK. >> WHAT NEVER HAPPENED, THAT THE U.S. WOULD NEVER PREVENT THE DELIVERY OF CRITICAL MUNITIONS TO ISRAEL IN A TIME OF WAR IN AN ELECTION YEAR. THEY THOUGHT THAT THAT WOULD BE ANATHEMA. >> BUT IT’S HAPPENING, BRAD, AND IT’S HAPPENING RIGHT NOW. WOW. HUGE INFLECTION POINT WITH THE WAR. WITH 34,000 REPORTED DEAD IN GAZA, MORE THAN 100 HOSTAGES HELD IN GAZA. >> AND I MEAN, REGARDLESS OF WHAT YOU THINK ABOUT ISRAEL AND THIS CONFLICT RIGHT NOW, IT DOESN’T NEGATE THE FACT THAT ANTI-SEMITIC INCIDENTS IN THIS COUNTRY ARE STILL ON THE RISE. BIDEN MADE THIS ADDRESS YESTERDAY. >> WHAT WERE THE TAKEAWAYS FROM THESE REMARKS ON A DAY OF HOLOCAUST REMEMBRANCE? YOU KNOW, IT’S SAID IN ISRAEL AND IN THE U.S. THAT BIDEN IS ARGUABLY THE BEST FRIEND THAT ISRAEL AND THE JEWS HAVE EVER HAD. HE WARMLY EMBRACED NETANYAHU JUST A COUPLE OF DAYS AFTER THE WAR. HE CONTINUED THAT EMBRACE BY FLOODING ISRAEL WITH MUNITIONS AND THEN IN THE MONTHS AFTER THAT, GIVING ISRAEL POLITICAL AND DIPLOMATIC COVER IN THE U.N., ALL ACROSS EUROPE, IN WORLD AND IN THE U.S.. AND NOW HE’S ENVELOPING THE JEWISH PEOPLE IN THIS WARM EMBRACE AS WELL, IDENTIFYING WITH THEM, SAYING THAT ANTI-SEMITISM IS NEVER OKAY. THERE IS NO PLACE ON ANY CAMPUS IN AMERICA, ANY PLACE, ANYWHERE FOR ANTI-SEMITISM OR HATE SPEECH OR THREATS OF VIOLENCE, OF ANY KIND. >> AND OF COURSE, AGAIN, ON THE SAME DAY THAT THEY SUSPENDED MUNITION DELIVERIES TO ISRAEL. PRESIDENT BIDEN SAYING THAT ISRAEL HAS A RIGHT TO EXIST. THAT’S IMPORTANT AND THAT THE U.S. IS COMMITTED TO ITS SECURITY. >> TOO MANY PEOPLE DENYING, DOWNPLAYING, RATIONALIZE AND IGNORING THE HORRORS OF THE HOLOCAUST. AND OCTOBER 7TH, INCLUDING HAMAS’S APPALLING USE OF SEXUAL VIOLENCE TO TORTURE AND TERRORIZED YOUTH. >> AND THERE’S NO DOUBT THAT PRESIDENT BIDEN IS SPEAKING TO MANY JEWS WHO ARE CONCERNED RIGHT NOW. >> WE’VE SEEN A FEROCIOUS SURGE OF ANTI-SEMITISM IN AMERICA AND AROUND THE WORLD. >> THIS IS PROPAGANDA ON SOCIAL MEDIA. JEWS FORCED TO KEEP THEIR HIDE, TO KEEP US UNDER BASEBALL HATS. CHUCK, THE JURY STARS INTO THEIR SHIRTS. >> WHETHER THEY SUPPORT ISRAEL’S POLICIES OR NOT. I THINK THAT THERE’S PALPABLE FEAR IN MANY JEWISH COMMUNITIES ACROSS THE U.S. WHO ARE SEEING AND EXPERIENCING VISCERALLY FIRSTHAND THE SKYROCKETING OF ANTI-SEMITIC INCIDENTS IN THIS COUNTRY. RIGHT. YOU COULD TELL HOW FIRMLY BIDEN BELIEVES THIS IS REALLY A SCOURGE THAT IS KIND OF OVERTAKING THE COUNTRY RIGHT NOW. AT THE SAME TIME, WE SHOULD ALSO MENTION MORE THAN 8000 REPORTS OF DISCRIMINATION AND HATE CRIMES AGAINST MUSLIMS LAST YEAR. THAT’S THE HIGHEST WE’VE SEEN IN MORE THAN A DECADE AS WELL. SO SO JUST SO MUCH TENSION AND DISTRUST RIGHT NOW. MATT GUTMAN, OUR CHIEF NATIONAL CORRESPONDENT, THANK YOU. THANKS, BROOKE. >> PRESIDENT BIDEN HAS ALREADY SIGNED THE LAW THAT FORCES TIKTOK’S PARENT COMPANY TO SELL THE APP OR FACE A BAN IN THE U.S.. REMEMBER BYTEDANCE OWNS THAT PARENT COMPANY IS BASED IN CHINA. >> YEAH, THE COUNTRY THAT CAN FORCE ANY COMPANY WITHIN ITS BORDERS TO HAND OVER ANY DATA THE GOVERNMENT WANTS AND EFFECTIVELY CO-OPT YOUR COMPANY INTO BECOMING A STATE ENTERPRISE. >> I CAN THINK OF FEW BETTER OR EASIER WAYS TO SPY ON AMERICAN CITIZENS OR MANIPULATE AMERICAN PUBLIC OPINION THAN TO MAKE USE OF A POPULAR APP THAT IS USED BY OVER 100 MILLION AMERICANS. >> THIS BILL IN THE U.S. IS NOW LAW. THE ONLY THING THAT WOULD DERAIL IT IS IF IT’S RESCINDED OR DEEMED ILLEGAL BY THE COURTS. >> WELL, YESTERDAY TIKTOK SUED U.S. GOVERNMENT OVER THIS. ABC SENIOR WHITE HOUSE CORRESPONDENT SELINA WANG HAS BEEN COVERING IT ALL. >> SELINA, WHAT IS THE ISSUE FROM FROM TIKTOK’S EYES HERE? >> WHAT IS THE ARGUMENT? YEAH, WELL, FIRST, BRAD, WE KNEW THAT THIS WAS COMING. TIKTOK HAS BEEN VOWING NOW THAT THEY ARE GOING TO FIGHT THIS AS HARD AS THEY CAN IN THE COURTS. AND TIK TOK ARGUES THAT THIS IS NOT GOING TO WORK BECAUSE THIS VIOLATES USERS FIRST AMENDMENT RIGHTS, THAT IT TRAMPLES OVER YOUR RIGHT TO FREE SPEECH. AND ON TOP OF THAT, THEY SAY IT’S ACTUALLY NOT POSSIBLE TO SELL OFF ITS U.S. OPERATIONS. THEY SAY IT’S NOT POSSIBLE COMMERCIALLY, TECHNOLOGICALLY OR LEGALLY. SO THEY ARGUE IN THIS LAWSUIT THAT THIS LAW ESSENTIALLY WILL FORCE A SHUT DOWN OF TIK TOK. AND I CAN WALK YOU THROUGH EACH ONE OF THOSE VARIOUS CHALLENGES . SO, FIRST OF ALL, TIKTOK ARGUES THAT IF YOU MAKE A STANDALONE U.S. PLATFORM THAT IS NOT PART OF THIS GLOBAL APP, IT’S NOT GOING TO WORK BECAUSE ALL OF THIS IS GLOBALLY INTEGRATED. SO A DIVESTMENT MEANS THAT YOU CAN’T GET THIS INTERNATIONAL CONTENT SEAMLESSLY AVAILABLE TO U.S. VIEWERS AND VICE VERSA. NOW, SECONDLY, TIKTOK SAYS THIS IS VERY COMPLICATED CODING WE’RE TALKING ABOUT HERE AND THAT THE CODE BASE THAT UNDERPINS THE APP WOULD HAVE TO BE SEPARATED TO A NEW TEAM OF ENGINEERS, AND THEY ARGUE IT WOULD TAKE YEARS FOR THIS NEW SET OF ENGINEERS TO JUST UNDERSTAND THE SOURCE CODE AND DO THEIR JOB AND THEY SAY TO THEN KEEP THE APP FUNCTIONING. THE ENGINEERS WOULD NEED ACCESS TO BYTEDANCE’S SOFTWARE, WHICH THE LAW BANS. >> ON TOP OF THAT, THEY MAKE AN ARGUMENT ABOUT HOW THE CHINESE GOVERNMENT HAS MADE CLEAR IT WOULD NOT ALLOW A DIVESTMENT YET. >> AND SO THEY DON’T. I MEAN, YOU REPORTED OUT OF CHINA FOR YEARS, RIGHT? YOU WERE BASED IN BEIJING. IS THAT LEGIT, LIKE THE CHINA ANGLE OF THEY WOULD NEVER ALLOW THIS TO BE SOLD. DO YOU GET THE SENSE THAT IS A REAL THING THAT THEY WOULD SAY, WE WILL FOREGO THE AMERICAN AUDIENCE RATHER THAN LET BYTEDANCE SELL THIS TO A DIFFERENT COMPANY? >> YEAH, WELL, THE CHINESE GOVERNMENT HAS MADE CLEAR THAT THEY DO NOT WANT THIS APP TO BE SOLD. IN FACT, BACK WHEN TRUMP TRIED TO BAN TIKTOK, THE CHINESE GOVERNMENT ACTUALLY CHANGED THEIR OWN LAWS THAT WOULD PROHIBIT THE SALE OF SENSITIVE TECHNOLOGIES LIKE THE ALGORITHM THAT UNDERPINS TIKTOK. SO THAT ALGORITHM IS THE REASON WHY TIKTOK IS SO POWERFUL WHY IT’S SO POPULAR AND STICKY AND ADDICTIVE IS BECAUSE OF THAT. AND SO IF YOU SELL THE APP WITHOUT THAT ALGORITHM, YOU’RE BASICALLY JUST SELLING A SHELL. IT’S NOT GOING TO BE POWERFUL. AND FOR THE CHINESE GOVERNMENT, THIS IS MORE THAN JUST, YOU KNOW, AN APP WITH FUN VIDEOS. THEY ARE FRAMING THIS AS ANOTHER EXAMPLE OF THE U.S. TRYING TO SUPPRESS CHINA’S RISE, TRYING TO SUPPRESS CHINA’S TECHNOLOGY ABILITY. SO THIS HAS BECOME AN ISSUE OF NATIONALISM AND PATRIOTISM. >> WELL. THEY’RE NOT GOING TO LET GO OF THIS EASILY. BUT THAT’S INTERESTING, SYLEENA, DOESN’T THAT UNDERCUT THAT IF TIKTOK IS SAYING, HEY, THIS IS ALL ABOUT FIRST AMENDMENT MAN, LIKE YOU CAN’T DO THIS. >> WE’RE JUST A PRIVATE COMPANY TRYING TO DO OUR THING. BY THE WAY, CHINA WON’T LET US BOLSTER THE IDEA FROM THE U.S. THAT THIS IS A NATIONAL SECURITY ISSUE, THEN. >> YEAH, AND ACTUALLY, TIKTOK HAS DONE A NUMBER OF THINGS THAT SORT OF COME BACK TO BITE THEM, INCLUDING TRYING TO MOBILIZE ALL OF THE YOUNG PEOPLE WHO USE THE APP. >> IF YOU HAVE A STORY ABOUT HOW TIKTOK IMPACTS YOUR LIFE, WE WILL LOVE FOR YOU TO SHARE IT, TO SHOWCASE EXACTLY WHAT WE’RE FIGHTING FOR, WHICH MADE LAWMAKERS THINK ,WOW, THIS IS A REALLY POWERFUL APP. BUT WHAT THE CHINESE GOVERNMENT COULD POSSIBLY DO WITH THIS HUGE, INFLUENTIAL NETWORK. >> GOOD AFTERNOON. THANK YOU FOR CALLING THE OFFICE OF CONGRESSMAN RON DESANTIS. >> HOW CAN I HELP YOU? HELLO. I GOT NOTES ON MY PHONE THAT I HEARD THAT YOU GUYS ARE TRYING TO BAN TIKTOK. >> I KNOW. SO. AND TIK TOK IS INTENTIONALLY MISLEADING YOU, NOT TO MENTION BRAD AS WELL, THAT THIS IS HYPOCRITICAL ON THE PART OF THE CHINESE GOVERNMENT. CHINA HAS ESSENTIALLY BANNED EVERY SINGLE MAJOR FOREIGN SOCIAL MEDIA APP. THINK ABOUT GOOGLE, FACEBOOK, YOUTUBE, TWITTER. TIKTOK EVEN IS BANNED WITHIN CHINA’S BORDERS. SO TO SIMPLY DO MY JOB, WHEN I WAS BASED IN CHINA, I HAD TO USE A VIRTUAL PRIVATE NETWORK OR VPN TO GET AROUND CHINA’S INTERNET FIREWALL AND HYPOCRITICAL FROM CHINA. >> TIKTOK ALSO SAYS IT’S HYPOCRITICAL OF JOE BIDEN CONSIDERING HIS CAMPAIGN USES TIKTOK THAT THEY SAY IS SO DAMAGING HERE. >> SELINA WHAT WHAT ARE THE NEXT STEPS THEN? LIKE IF YOU’RE TRYING TO SELL IT, HOW DOES THAT WORK OR, YOU KNOW, AND HOW DOES THIS LAWSUIT AFFECT EVERYTHING. >> YEAH, EXACTLY. SO TO AVOID THIS BAN, IF TIKTOK CAN FIND A A US BUYER, WELL THEN THEY CAN AVOID ALL OF THIS. BUT SOURCES BEEN TELLING ME THAT IT WOULD BE VERY, VERY HARD TO FIND A BUYER THAT COULD AFFORD TIKTOK AND COMPLETE THIS TRANSACTION WITHIN A YEAR. >> IN FACT, SOME SOURCES HAVE TOLD ME THAT IT’S MORE LIKELY TIKTOK WILL TRY AND GO PUBLIC THAN BE SOLD BECAUSE. THE EXECUTIVES AND INVESTORS OF TIK TOK BELIEVE THAT THERE IS NO ONE IN THE MARKET WHO CAN AFFORD TO BUY TIKTOK AT A FAIR PRICE. WE’RE TALKING TENS OF BILLIONS OF DOLLARS, POTENTIALLY EVEN MORE THAN $100 BILLION. >> THIS IS AN INCREDIBLY EXPENSIVE PROPOSITION. >> UNBELIEVABLE NUMBERS WHEN YOU’RE TALKING ABOUT THAT. AND SO IF IT GOES PUBLIC, ALL OF US CAN OWN TIKTOK, INCLUDING CONSUMERS IN CHINA AND ANY OTHER COUNTRY. >> ALL RIGHT, SELINA WANG, THANK YOU SO MUCH. YOU GOT IT. BRAD. >> OKAY. ONE MORE QUICK BREAK. WHEN WE COME BACK, SOMEBODY FRUIT SALAD IS ABOUT TO GET A SERIOUS GLOW UP. >> WELCOME TO PINEAPPLE EXPRESS Every kid in America who was a dancer wanted to be on Dance Moms and Abby knew it. I don’t care if they like me or not. So fabulous when it comes down to the way she treated us it was tough. Love you have trouble saying her name. Yeah. I feel like I have trouble just talking about in general. I’m not the bad guy. I was the guy that made it happen. Do you think that he would take back some of the harshness when you look back Dance Moms behind the curtain? This is impact by Nightline. Let’s go. The ship is incredible. It feels like living in a science fiction movie. We just saw where no one has seen before look at that. We are heading into the unknown. It doesn’t get any more Cutting Edge and this Friday night in teenagers left to go to a birthday party but never reach their destination, but then was shot execution-style. I can hear my heart beating a Cold Case has possibly been cracked to help of DNA evidence and pretty much all hell breaks loose from Minister charged with murder. Were you worried that this black man? Your husband is being accused of murdering two white teenage girls. Maybe you were living with somebody. You just didn’t know the new 2020 Friday night on ABC OF PLASTIC EXPORTS STREAMED FREE ON HULU. AND ONE LAST THING. WHAT’S MOST YOU’LL PAY FOR GOOD FRUIT? LIKE? WHEN I’M AT THE GROCERY STORE, I’M HUNTING SALES ON STRAWBERRIES, BUT PUT ME IN A FARMER’S MARKET AND SUDDENLY I’M LIKE, OH, $8. SOUNDS REASONABLE. THEY’RE ORGANIC, RIGHT? WELL, A FEW DAYS AGO, MONTE, THE AGRICULTURE BEHEMOTH, ANNOUNCED THE ARRIVAL A NEW TYPE OF PINEAPPLE CALLED THE RUBYGLOW. IT’S RED ON THE OUTSIDE, LUSH AND YELLOW ON THE INSIDE, AND IT COSTS NEARLY $400. >> I CAN A BEAUTIFUL RED EXTERIOR AND YELLOW INTERIOR. >> IT’S REALLY A SPECIAL FRUIT. I’M NOT MAKING THIS UP. THIS IS A REGULAR PINEAPPLE CREATED IN COSTA RICA. ITS SOLE U.S. DISTRIBUTOR, MELISSA’S PRODUCE, SAYS ITS SMOOTH, NOT TOO STRINGY, VERY LOW IN ACIDITY. IT ALSO COMES IN A FANCY BOX. >> AND IN SOME WAYS, THIS IS A RETURN TO FORM THE PINEAPPLE. >> BACK IN THE DAY, THEY WERE WAY MORE EXPENSIVE WHEN CHRISTOPHER COLUMBUS BROUGHT SOME OF THE FIRST PINEAPPLES BACK TO EUROPE, PEOPLE WENT MAD FOR THEM. THEY WERE SO RARE AND COVETED THAT ARISTOCRATS WOULD PAY THE MODERN DAY EQUIVALENT OF 8000 BUCKS FOR THEM. IN ENGLAND, PEOPLE WOULD EVEN RENT A PINEAPPLE TO PUT ON THE TABLE FOR A FANCY PARTY. YOU DIDN’T EAT IT? GOD, NO. YOU JUST RENTED IT. YOU GAVE IT BACK. THEN YOU’D SEE IT SLIGHTLY MORE ROTTEN AT YOUR NEIGHBORS PARTY NEXT WEEK. SOME PEOPLE RENTED PINEAPPLES CARRY AROUND LIKE RENT THE RUNWAY FOR TROPICAL FRUIT. THE THING CHANGED, OF COURSE, IS WE NOW HAVE AN AGRICULTURAL SYSTEM IN GLOBAL SUPPLY CHAIN THAT CAN SHIP CHEAP FRUIT ANYWHERE. WHAT HASN’T CHANGED IS THE FACT THAT TRADERS WANT TO MAKE MONEY AND THAT WEALTHY FOLKS WILL PAY ALMOST ANYTHING FOR THE NEXT NOVELTY ITEM. >> NOT ONLY DOES IT LOOK BEAUTIFUL, IT TASTES BEAUTIFUL. >> IN RECENT, DEL MONTE HAS CULTIVATED NEW PINEAPPLE VARIETIES LIKE THE PINKGLOW WITH FLESH THAT’S BRIGHT PINK. >> BUT FORGET PINEAPPLES. EVEN RESEARCHERS. THE UNIVERSITY OF ARKANSAS CREATED A THORN LIST BLACKBERRY . AND LAST YEAR, UC RIVERSIDE DEBUTED THE NEW LUNA AVOCADO DOUGH, WHICH WAS SPECIFICALLY BRED TO GROW OFF SMALLER TREES AND TO SHIP MORE. IT’S A REMINDER THAT NEARLY EVERY PIECE OF PRODUCE YOU EAT IS THE OF CAREFUL CULTIVATION, AND THAT CENTURIES LATER THE IP ON NEW ONES IS STILL WORTH A WINDFALL. THERE’S ALSO, IN THE LAST COUPLE OF YEARS THIS NEW KIND OF MINI PINEAPPLE NAMED THE HONEYGLOW, WHICH CAN BE EASILY CARRIED ONE HAND IT’S $12 AND THEN IT’S 30 EXTRA DOLLARS TO SHIP. LIKE, I’VE GOT TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO CUT ONE OF THESE THINGS MORE RELIABLY BEFORE I GO, LIKE INVESTING IN THEM MORE. AND ALL THESE STORIES AT ABC NEWS.COM OR THE ABC NEWS APP.

HI, I’M DIANE MACEDO TODAY ON ABC NEWS LIVE. FIRST 20 REPORTED TORNADOES HIT FIVE STATES WITH 57 MILLION PEOPLE NOW IN THE STORM ZONE. MICHIGAN HAS DECLARED ITS FIRST EVER TORNADO EMERGENCY. WHICH AREAS IN THE PATH OF THE NEW THREAT AND WHO’S AT THE HIGHEST RISK? STORMY DANIELS ON THE STAND, THE ADULT FILM STAR AT THE CENTER OF A FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP’S HUSH MONEY TRIAL GIVES TOUR DETAILS ABOUT HER ALLEGED ENCOUNTER WITH THE FORMER PRESIDENT, WHAT SHE SAID THAT HAD THE DEFENSE FOR A MISTRIAL. TIKTOK FIGHTS BACK. THE SOCIAL MEDIA PLATFORM IS SUING THE U.S. GOVERNMENT OVER A PROPOSED BY THE COMPANY CLAIMS THE NEW LAW IS UNCONSTITUTIONAL. THE FIGHT AGAINST ANTISEMITISM ON CAMPUSES. EDUCATION SECRETARY MIGUEL CARDONA JOINS ME TO TALK ABOUT WHAT THE DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION NOW WANTS FROM CONGRESS. >> BUT WE BEGIN THE MASSIVE TORNADO OUTBREAK. AT LEAST 20 TORNADOES HAVE BEEN REPORTED ACROSS FIVE STATES. MICHIGAN IS UNDER A TORNADO EMERGENCY FOR THE FIRST TIME ON RECORD. AND NOW MORE SEVERE WEATHER IS THREATENING TENS OF MILLIONS OF AMERICANS IN WHAT COULD BE THE THIRD DAY IN A ROW OF TORNADO OUTBREAKS. ABC’S GINGER ZEE IS IN HARD HIT BARNSDALL, OKLAHOMA WITH THE LATEST DAMAGE FROM MICHIGAN’S FIRST TORNADO EMERGENCY ON RECORD REPORTING AT LEAST NINE TORNADOES. THE GOVERNOR DECLARING STATE OF EMERGENCY. >> THIS IS WHAT THEY CAME THROUGH IN PORTAGE. 50 PEOPLE WERE TRAPPED IN THIS FEDEX FACILITY AFTER IT WAS GUTTED BY THE TORNADO IN PADDOCKS 67. >> OUR PRODUCER FOR AN ENTIRE BUILDING COLLAPSED. >> THIS IS A BRAND NEW BUILDING. THIS IS JUST JUST GOT FINISHED ABOUT 2 TO 3 YEARS OR SO. >> AT LEAST 21,000 CUSTOMERS LEFT WITHOUT POWER. >> THE TORNADO DAMAGING HOMES AND A STRIP MALL. >> SOME TAKING SHELTER IN THE LIBRARY. THE MAN IN CHARGE OF THE LIBRARY. >> LET EVERYBODY COME IN THAT WANTED TO COME IN. AMANDA WAS WORKING AT THIS BARBER SHOP WHEN THE TORNADO CAME THROUGH. >> I’M FRAGMENTS PRIMARY NOW, SO REALLY, I WAS JUST THINKING ABOUT MY BABY LEAVING BEHIND A SEA OF KNEE DEEP INSULATION THE WHOLE BACK WALL OF THE SALON WAS REMOVED AND THE BATHROOM WAS, LIKE, COMPLETELY EXPOSED. DAMAGING WINDS TAKING DOWN TREES AND CAUSING SIGNIFICANT DAMAGE IN IN OHIO. >> THIS TORNADO FORCING POWER FLASHES AS TORNADO SIRENS RANG OUT. >> ALL OF THIS AS WE LEARN THE TORNADO RIPPED ACROSS BARNSDALL, OKLAHOMA WAS AN EF4. WE RIGHT THERE THE MORNING AFTER AND MET BILLY MOORE’S AUTOMOBILE DESTROYED. MY HOUSE WAS GONE. ALL ALL PAPERWORK. >> I HAVEN’T FOUND ANYTHING IN MY POCKET. ABOUT A MONTH AGO, THE SAME TOWN, THE SAME PATH GOT HIT. BILLY MOLES, WHO LIVES IN THIS HOUSE, HAD REPAIRED HIS ROOF FROM THE LAST TORNADO. NOW HIS HOME IS GONE ALONG WITH AT LEAST 40 OF HIS NEIGHBORS. >> THE STAINED GLASS AND DOORS AT SAINT MARY’S CHURCH BLOWN OUT, BUT THE CANDLE STAYED LIT AND THE CANDLES ARE ALL STANDING. OUR GOAL, FATHER MENTIONED IN THE PARKING IS WE’RE GOING TO GET THIS CLEAN AND HAVE MERCY AND HAVE MASS. SO MANY OF THE FOLKS THAT WE TALKED TO THEY SURVIVED BECAUSE THEY WENT IN THEIR CELLAR. WE’RE GOING TO HAVE MORE THAT. BUT FIRST, LET ME SHOW YOU, JUST AS WE LEARNED THAT EF FOUR PRELIMINARILY, 175 MILE PER HOUR WINDS, THAT WAS A FOUNDATION. THIS HOUSE WAS SLID OFF THE FOUNDATION. AND LOOK AT THAT. THAT’S A BACK OF AN RV WRAPPED AROUND THE TREE. UNFORTUNATELY, WE’RE GOING TO SEE MORE SEVERE TODAY, INCLUDING MORE TORNADOES. THAT AREA THAT YOU SEE HIGHLIGHTED ORANGE IS WHO COULD SEE A TORNADO AND REALLY ANYWHERE IN YELLOW EASILY WINDS IN EXCESS OF 70 MILES PER HOUR. BUT THEY UPPED THAT PART WHERE IT’S CALLED THE MODERATE RISK. THAT IS THE SECOND HIGHEST LEVEL, BY THE WAY. A LOT OF THAT COMES AFTER DARK. SO THE TIMING’S IMPORTANT HERE TO HAVE TWO WAYS OF GETTING WARNINGS. DIANE, ABC CHIEF METEOROLOGIST GINGER ZEE. THANK YOU. AND ABC’S ALEX PRESHA IN PORTAGE, MICHIGAN, OUTSIDE A FEDEX BUILDING WHERE EMPLOYEES WERE TRAPPED WHEN TORNADO ROLLED THROUGH. ALEX, WHAT’S IT LIKE THERE NOW ? HEY, DIANE. SO THIS IS THAT FEDEX PLANT GINGER WAS TALKING ABOUT. I MEAN, LOOK AT THE ROOF HERE. I MEAN, IT LOOKS LIKE IT WAS PEELED OFF LIKE A TIN CAN, SOME 15 EMPLOYEES TRAPPED INSIDE WHEN THIS STORM ROLLED THROUGH YESTERDAY. THANKFULLY, FEDEX SAYING TODAY THAT NONE OF THEM HAD SERIOUS INJURIES. BUT RIGHT NOW THEY’RE DOING A DAMAGE ASSESSMENT. WE’VE SEEN CREWS ON THE GROUND HERE ALSO IN SOME OF THE NEIGHBORING NEIGHBORHOODS OF THE TRAILER PARK ABOUT 15 MINUTES FROM HERE WHERE WE WERE EARLIER. AND DIANE, WHAT STRIKES YOU ABOUT THIS STORM IS JUST HOW SPORADIC IT WAS. ONE BLOCK YOU’D SEE AN ENTIRE HOME BASICALLY MOVED INTO THE STREET. AND THEN RIGHT ACROSS THE WAY THERE’S A FAMILY WHO BASICALLY HUNKERED DOWN AND SHELTERED IN. AND THEY WEREN’T TOUCHED, THANKFULLY, BUT A LOT OF THAT AROUND THIS COMMUNITY HERE IN KALAMAZOO, WE’RE SEEING THE TREE LINE HERE, PARTS OF IT JUST COMPLETELY DESTROYED AND OTHER PARTS COMPLETELY UNTOUCHED. A REALLY, REALLY SPORADIC STORM. AND ALEX, HOW ARE EMERGENCY CREWS WORKING THROUGH THE DAMAGE THERE AND WHAT CAN YOU EXPECT TODAY? WELL, DIANE, ONE OF THE BIG CHALLENGES TODAY, THESE DOWNED POWER LINES. OVERNIGHT, SOME 20,000 PEOPLE WERE WITHOUT POWER. BUT ALL THE DOWNTOWN AND POWER LINES WERE ACTUALLY PREVENTING SOME CREWS LOOKING TO TO PROVIDE ASSISTANCE OR EVEN JUST DO A DAMAGE ASSESSMENT FROM ACTUALLY GETTING IN WITH THAT HELP BECAUSE OF THOSE LIVE WIRES. AND SO WE’RE SEEING A LOT OF CREWS AROUND HERE TRYING TO BEGIN THE PROCESS OF CLEANING UP BEFORE, YOU KNOW, THE REST OF THIS CLEANUP REALLY KIND OF GETS UNDERWAY. ALL RIGHT, ALEX PRESHA, PORTAGE, MICHIGAN. >> ALEX, THANK YOU SO. AND FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP IS BACK IN FLORIDA TODAY AFTER A DRAMATIC DAY IN HIS CRIMINAL HUSH MONEY TRIAL. STORMY DANIELS TOOK THE STAND, COMING FACE TO FACE WITH THE FORMER PRESIDENT FOR THE FIRST TIME IN MORE THAN A DECADE. THE FORMER ADULT FILM STAR, A DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF HER ALLEGED ENCOUNTER WITH TRUMP AND THE PAYMENT TO SILENCE HER BEFORE THE 2016 ELECTION. HAS DENIED ALL WRONGDOING. ABC NEWS SENIOR INVESTIGATIVE CORRESPONDENT AARON KATERSKY HAS MORE ON THE TESTIMONY THAT HAD THE DEFENSE ASKING FOR A MISTRIAL. >> STORMY DANIELS CAPTIVATED JURY FROM THE MOMENT SHE ENTERED COURT. NOT DONE UP LIKE IN PHOTOS OF THE ADULT ACTRESS, BUT IN A PLAIN BLACK HOODED CARDIGAN AND GLASSES HAIR UP. SHE DESCRIBED A 2006 ENCOUNTER IN DONALD TRUMP’S HOTEL SUITE THAT HE SAYS NEVER HAPPENED. HER DETAIL, VIVID FROM THE BLACK AND WHITE TILE FLOOR AND THE GIGANTIC FLOWER ARRANGEMENT IN THE FOYER TO THE SILK OR SATIN PAJAMAS SHE SAID TRUMP WAS WEARING. I TOLD HIM, GO CHANGE, AND HE OBLIGED VERY POLITELY. AT ONE POINT, DANIELS SAID, SHE ASKED HIM, WHAT ABOUT YOUR WIFE? HE SAID, OH, DON’T WORRY ABOUT THAT. WE ARE ACTUALLY DON’T EVEN SLEEP IN THE SAME ROOM. AT ANOTHER POINT, SHE SAID, TRUMP WAS TALKING SO MUCH ABOUT HIMSELF, SHE SAID, ARE YOU ALWAYS THIS RUDE ARROGANT AND POMPOUS? HER TESTIMONY, SIMILAR TO WHAT SHE TOLD 60 MINUTES IN 2018. >> HE QUIT TALKING ABOUT HIMSELF AND HE ME THINGS AND I ASKED HIM THINGS AND IT JUST BECAME LIKE, YOU KNOW, A MORE. HE’S LIKE, WOW, YOU YOU ARE SPECIAL. >> YOU REMIND ME OF MY DAUGHTER. LATER, DANIELS SAID SHE WENT USE THE BATHROOM. SHE RECALLED PEERING INTO TRUMP’S TOILETRY BAG, AND WHEN SHE EMERGED SHE TESTIFIED, MR. TRUMP HAD COME INTO THE BEDROOM AND WAS ON THE BED IN BOXER SHORTS AND T SHIRT. SHE SAID SHE FELT THE ROOM SPIN IN SLOW MOTION AND THEN THOUGHT, OH MY GOD, WHAT DID I MISREAD TO GET HERE? AS HER TESTIMONY ABOUT HAVING SEX WITH TRUMP BECAME MORE GRAPHIC, THE DEFENSE AGAIN AND AGAIN. THIS WAS THE FIRST TIME TRUMP HAD BEEN FACE FACE WITH DANIELS IN MORE THAN A DECADE, AND THE EXCHANGE MADE HIM ANGRY. DURING A BREAK, THE JUDGE TELLING TRUMP’S LAWYER HE IS CURSING AUDIBLY IN HE IS SHAKING HIS HEAD VISUALLY. BUT THE JUDGE ALSO SAID, I THINK THE DEGREE DETAIL THAT WE’RE GOING INTO HERE IS JUST UNNECESSARY. THE DEFENSE SOUGHT A MISTRIAL, CALLING DANIELS TESTIMONY EXTRAORDINARILY PREJUDICIAL AND TOTALLY IRRELEVANT TO THIS CASE. PROSECUTORS ARGUED THIS IS WHAT HAVE BEEN TOLD TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE. HAD TRUMP NOT PAID DANIELS $130,000 IN HUSH MONEY LESS THAN TWO WEEKS BEFORE THE 2016 ELECTION. DANIELS CALLED THE PAY OFF THE BEST THING THAT COULD HAPPEN. I WOULD BE SAFE AND THE STORY WOULDN’T COME OUT. WHY DIDN’T YOU ASK FOR MORE MONEY? PROSECUTORS ASKED. BECAUSE I DIDN’T CARE THE MONEY ,SHE SAID. BUT ON CROSS-EXAMINATION, THE DEFENSE INSISTED. YOU’VE BEEN MAKING MONEY BY CLAIMING YOU HAD SEX WITH DONALD TRUMP FOR MORE THAN A DECADE. TRUMP’S ATTORNEY ASKED. THE WHOLE STORY WAS MADE UP, WASN’T IT? DANIELS ANSWERED. NONE OF IT IS MADE UP. THE DEFENSE PRESSED ON. YOU WERE LOOKING TO EXTORT MONEY FROM PRESIDENT TRUMP, RIGHT? FALSE, DANIELS ANSWERED. STORMY DANIELS WILL RETURN HERE TO COURT TOMORROW FOR MORE CROSS-EXAMINATION, DIANE, SENIOR INVESTIGATIVE CORRESPONDENT ERICA PERSKY, THANK YOU. AND ABC NEWS CHIEF LEGAL ANALYST DAN ABRAMS SPOKE ON GOOD MORNING AMERICA ABOUT WHY DANIELS TESTIMONY IS RELEVANT TO THE CASE. >> TAKE A LOOK. STORMY DANIELS TESTIMONY MAY HAVE BEEN INTERESTING, BUT WHY IS IT IMPORTANT? WELL, FIRST OF ALL, SHE WAS INVOLVED IN THE NEGOTIATION, $130,000. RIGHT. AS A TECHNICAL LEGAL MATTER, THAT’S MOST IMPORTANT. PART OF HER TESTIMONY IS WHAT DID SHE KNOW ABOUT WHY THE DEAL WAS BEING MADE ABOUT HOW THE DEAL WAS BEING MADE? THAT SPECIFICALLY RELEVANT TO THE MOTIVATION HERE? WAS IT TO TRY TO IMPACT THE ELECTION. BUT THERE’S A SECONDARY FACTOR HERE AND THAT THAT DONALD TRUMP AND HIS TEAM ARE DENYING THAT IT EVER HAPPENED. AND I THINK THAT DOES THEN MAKE THAT AN ISSUE IN CASE. WHY? BECAUSE WHEN YOU’RE TALKING ABOUT THE NEGOTIATIONS SURROUNDING THE $130,000, IT’S RELEVANT WHETHER IT HAPPENED OR NOT. DOES IT MEAN THAT THE DEAL WOULDN’T HAVE BEEN MADE ONE WAY OR THE OTHER? NO, BUT IN TERMS OF UNDERSTANDING THE CONTEXT AROUND THE DEAL, IF HE HAD JUST SAID YES, THIS HAPPENED, I THINK THAT WOULD MAKE HER TESTIMONY MORE IRRELEVANT. I WOULD THINK THE DEFENSE WOULD HAVE A BETTER ARGUMENT THAT SO MUCH OF HER TESTIMONY SHOULDN’T HAVE BEEN ADMITTED. BUT THE MINUTE HE DENIES IT, I HE HE MAKES THAT AN ISSUE. >> ALL RIGHT. THANKS TO GEORGE STEPHANOPOULOS AND DAN ABRAMS FOR THAT. >> AND TIC TAC IS SUING THE U.S. GOVERNMENT OVER A NEW THAT COULD BAN THE APP NATIONWIDE. THE SOCIAL MEDIA COMPANY CLAIMS ,THE LAW IS UNCONSTITUTIONAL AND VIOLATES AMERICAN’S RIGHT TO FREE SPEECH. >> ABC’S RACHEL SCOTT HAS THAT STORY. HEY DIANE. >> MORNING, WILL. TIKTOK IS TAKING ON THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT, SETTING UP A SHOWDOWN IN COURT OVER NATIONAL SECURITY AND FREE SPEECH. SO IT HAS BEEN TWO WEEKS SINCE THE PRESIDENT SIGNED THAT BIPARTISAN BILL INTO LAW FORCING. TIKTOK, CHINESE PARENT COMPANY, TO EITHER SELL THE APP OR FACE A COMPLETE AND TOTAL BAN HERE IN THE UNITED STATES. WELL, THIS MORNING, THE CHINESE PARENT IS MAKING IT CLEAR IT CANNOT AND WILL NOT BE SELLING TIKTOK. SO ONE END OF THIS, YOU HAVE A BIPARTISAN GROUP OF LAWMAKERS, EVEN THE PRESIDENT, THEY ARGUE THAT BY USING TIKTOK, IT POSES A NATIONAL SECURITY TO AMERICANS DATA THEIR PRIVACY, THAT THE CHINESE GOVERNMENT COULD EVEN HAVE THE ACCESS TO YOUR LOCATION. TIKTOK DENIES THOSE ALLEGATIONS. THEY SAY IT WOULD TAKE YEARS FOR THEM TO FIND A NEW SET OF ENGINEERS WHO COULD FIGURE OUT HOW TO PROGRAM THE PLATFORM THAT IT WOULD FORCE A SHUTDOWN HERE IN. THE UNITED STATES OF THE APP NO LATER THAN JANUARY OF NEXT YEAR. THEY ALSO SAY THAT A POSSIBLE BAN ALSO INFRINGES ON THE RIGHTS OF 170 MILLION AMERICANS WHO USE THE IN THE UNITED STATES. IN THIS LAWSUIT, THEY ALSO POINT OUT THAT BIDEN CAMPAIGN CONTINUES TO USE THE PLATFORM OF TIK TOK, EVEN AFTER THE PRESIDENT SIGNED THAT BILL INTO LAW. THEY SAY THAT COMPLETELY UNDERMINES, THIS ARGUMENT THAT IT POSES A THREAT OR RISK TO AMERICAN SAFETY. THE BOTTOM LINE HERE IS THAT TIKTOK WILL STILL STAY AVAILABLE IN THE US FOR NOW AS THIS MAKES ITS WAY THROUGH THE COURTS. DIANE. RACHEL SCOTT, THANK YOU. AND PRESIDENT BIDEN IS CONDEMNING WHAT HE CALLS A FEROCIOUS SURGE IN ANTI-SEMITISM IN THE U.S. AMID, INCREASING PRESSURE OVER THE WAR IN GAZA. THE PRESIDENT STRESSED THE IMPORTANCE OF REMEMBERING THE OCTOBER 7TH ATTACKS IN ISRAEL THAT STARTED THE WAR . >> PEOPLE ARE ALREADY FORGETTING ALREADY. >> FORGET THAT HAMAS UNLEASHED THIS TERROR. >> I HAVE NOT FORGOTTEN, NOR HAVE YOU. >> AND WE WILL NOT FORGET. >> NOW WE’RE LEARNING OF A MAJOR SHIFT IN POLICY. >> CHIEF WHITE HOUSE CORRESPONDENT MARY HAS THE LATEST MARY. WELL, THE PRESIDENT HAS BEEN STRESSING HIS STEADFAST SUPPORT FOR ISRAEL, EVEN HE SAYS WHEN THEY DISAGREE. NOW, A SIGN OF THE GROWING RIFT BETWEEN THE U.S. AND ISRAEL OVER THE CONDUCT OF THIS WAR. ABC NEWS CONFIRMING THAT THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION PAUSED THE SHIPMENT OF SOME 3500 BOMBS TO ISRAEL OVER CONCERNS THEY COULD BE USED IN RAFAH. THIS IS A MAJOR SHIFT IN POLICY THE FIRST TIME THAT WE KNOW OF THAT THE U.S. HAS DENIED ISRAEL ACCESS TO WEAPONS TO TRY AND INFLUENCE THIS WAR OVER HOW ISRAEL MAY USE THESE WEAPONS. AND WE ARE THAT THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION IS REVIEWING WHETHER TO WITHHOLD FUTURE WEAPONS TRANSFERS AS WELL. THIS COMES AS THE PRESIDENT FOR WEEKS HAS BEEN URGENTLY WARNING ISRAELI PRIME MINISTER NETANYAHU NOT TO INVADE RAFAH, WHERE OVER A MILLION CIVILIANS HAVE SOUGHT REFUGE. BUT SO FAR, THOSE WARNINGS HAVE LARGELY BEEN IGNORED. A SENIOR OFFICIAL HERE TELLING US THE, QUOTE, HAVE NOT FULLY ADDRESSED OUR CONCERNS ABOUT PROTECTING PALESTINIAN CIVILIANS. NOW, ALL OF THIS COMING AS THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION TO EXPRESS CAUTIOUS OPTIMISM THAT A CEASEFIRE DEAL CAN STILL BE DONE AND IS STILL ACHIEVABLE. AND ALL THIS IS LIKELY TO BE TOP OF MIND TODAY AS THE DEFENSE SECRETARY AND THE CHAIRMAN OF THE JOINT OF STAFF ARE UP ON CAPITOL HILL FACING GRILLING DIANE. CHIEF WHITE HOUSE CORRESPONDENT MARY BRUCE, THANK YOU. AN EMERGENCY SAY AT LEAST 30 PEOPLE ARE DEAD IN RAFAH AS THE ISRAELI MILITARY CONTINUES BOMB THE SOUTHERN GAZA TOWN. MEANWHILE, INTERNATIONAL PRESSURE IS FOR ISRAEL AND HAMAS TO REACH A CEASEFIRE AGREEMENT. ABC NEWS FOREIGN CORRESPONDENT MARCUS MOORE IS IN TEL AVIV, ISRAEL WITH THE LATEST. >> MARCUS. WELL, HEY, DIANE, GOOD MORNING. THESE CRITICAL TALKS HAVE BEEN UNDERWAY IN CAIRO WITH THE DELEGATIONS TRYING TO HAMMER OUT A DEAL. AND AS YOU MENTIONED, THERE IS IMMENSE INTERNATIONAL PRESSURE RIGHT NOW FOR THESE SIDES TO COME TO AN AGREEMENT. AND OF COURSE, WE’LL HAVE TO WAIT TO SEE WHAT KIND OF PROGRESS THEY’RE ABLE TO MAKE. BUT AS YOU JUST HEARD MARY MENTIONED, WE’VE BEEN GETTING NEW REPORTING ON HOW THE U.S. IS WITHHOLDING AMMUNITION FROM ISRAEL OVER CONCERNS THOSE WEAPONS. AS MANY AS 3500 BOMBS COULD BE USED IN RAFAH. THAT’S WHERE ISRAEL LAUNCHED A NEW GROUND OPERATION THIS WEEK. DESPITE CALLS BY THE U.S. THEM TO HOLD OFF. IT IS WORTH NOTING THAT ISRAEL HAS SAID THAT THIS IS A LIMITED OPERATION AND A PRECISE ONE, AND THE US SAYS IT IS NOT THE THE MASSIVE MILITARY ASSAULT ON THE CITY THAT THE U.S. HAD WARNED ISRAEL ABOUT. AS YOU KNOW, MORE THAN A MILLION PALESTINIANS ARE TAKING SHELTER IN RAFAH AMIDST THE HUMANITARIAN CRISIS THERE. AND BEFORE LAUNCHING THESE, ISRAEL DROPPED FLIERS URGING MORE THAN 100,000 PEOPLE IN THE EASTERN PART OF RAFAH TO EVACUATE AN EXPANDED HUMANITARIAN ZONE. NOW, I SPOKE TO ON THE PHONE WITH THABET, WHO EVACUATED HIS FAMILY FROM RAFAH AFTER GETTING THOSE FLIERS. WE SAW VIDEO OF HIM. HE CRAMMED HIS FAMILY INTO A SUPPLY VAN. THEY DROVE THROUGH DEVASTATION TO GET TO A SAFER AREA. AND I ASKED ABOUT THE ENTIRE SITUATION AND WHAT HIS MESSAGE MIGHT BE TO ALL OF US WHO ARE WATCHING THIS UNFOLD. AND HERE’S A BIT OF WHAT HE TOLD ME. HUMANITY MATTERS MORE THAN MOST . HUMANITY IS WHAT REALLY MATTERS. IT’S LOCAL. I THINK IT’S NOT IT’S REALLY NOT WORTH IT. ALL THIS MORE OF A STRUGGLE BECAUSE POLITICIANS HAVE GOT TO FIND A PEACEFUL SOLUTION. >> HE AND HIS FAMILY ARE PRAYING FOR A SOLUTION.

THE NEW 2020 FRIDAY NIGHT ON ABC KNOCKED ABC NEWS LIVE. FIRST, THANKS FOR STREAMING WITH US. YOU WERE LOOKING AT NEW YORK CITY ON THIS WEDNESDAY AND WE HAVE A LOT OF NEWS TO GET TO. HERE’S THE RUNDOWN RIGHT NOW. SEVERE WEATHER IS ON THE MOVE WITH 57 MILLION PEOPLE IN ITS PATH. A POSSIBILITY OF STRONG TORNADOES, GIANT HAIL, DESTRUCTIVE WINDS AND FLASH FLOODING STRETCHES FROM TEXAS TO VIRGINIA. THIS COMES AFTER AT LEAST 20 REPORTED TORNADOES WREAKED HAVOC ACROSS FIVE STATES. MICHIGAN HAS DECLARED A STATE OF EMERGENCY AS CREWS ASSESS THE DAMAGE. AND HERE’S A LOOK AT. A FEDEX FACILITY IN PORTAGE, MICHIGAN, THAT COLLAPSED, TRAPPING DOZENS OF PEOPLE. THANKFULLY, EVERYONE GOT OUT SAFELY. BALTIMORE OFFICIALS SAY THE BODY OF THE SIXTH AND FINAL VICTIM OF THE FRANCIS SCOTT KEY BRIDGE COLLAPSE HAS BEEN RECOVERED. A 37 YEAR OLD MAN WAS WORKING ON THE BRIDGE WHEN IT WAS HIT BY A CARGO SHIP IN MARCH. SHIPS ARE BEING REMOVED IN HOPES OF FULLY REOPENING BALTIMORE’S PORT BY THE END OF THIS MONTH. AND MORE ARRESTS ARE HAPPENING AT COLLEGE CAMPUSES ACROSS THE COUNTRY AMID PROTESTS AGAINST THE ISRAEL-HAMAS WAR. THE D.C. POLICE SAY THEY’VE ARRESTED 30 PEOPLE AT A PROTEST AT GEORGE WASHINGTON THIS MORNING. POLICE SAY THEY WERE ATTEMPTING TO BREAK UP THE ENCAMPMENT THERE WHEN THINGS ESCALATED. AT LEAST 130 PEOPLE WERE ARRESTED AT THE UNIVERSITY OF MASSACHUSETTS OVERNIGHT. AND THE NYPD SAYS IT BROKE UP THE LAST REMAINING PRO-PALESTINIAN ENCAMPMENT AT THE FASHION INSTITUTION OF TECHNOLOGY, INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY THAT IS RESULTING IN ROUGHLY 50 ARRESTS. AND THE THUNDER TAKE THE WIN OVER THE MAVERICKS AS THE NBA PLAYOFFS HEAT UP. OKLAHOMA CITY IS BACK IN THE WESTERN SEMIS FOR THE FIRST TIME SINCE 2016, COMING BACK IN THE SECOND HALF TO BEAT DALLAS. THE CELTICS TOPPED THE CAVS 122 95 AND TONIGHT THE PACERS. >> THE KNICKS WHO ARE UP ONE NOTHING IN THAT SERIES. AND THE EDUCATION DEPARTMENT IS ASKING CONGRESS TO APPROVE A $22 MILLION INCREASE TO THIS YEAR’S PROPOSED BUDGET AFTER, A RISE OF ANTI-SEMITISM. EDUCATION SECRETARY MIGUEL CARDONA. THE FUNDS WOULD HELP THE OFFICE OF CIVIL RIGHTS INVESTIGATE TITLE SIX COMPLAINTS. CARDONA APPEARED BEFORE THE HOUSE EDUCATION THE WORKFORCE COMMITTEE YESTERDAY SAYING ANTI-SEMITISM HAS NO PLACE IN AMERICA THAT. EVERY STUDENT DESERVES TO LEARN IN AN ENVIRONMENT FREE OF DISCRIMINATION OR FEAR. >> MAKE NO MISTAKE, ANTI-SEMITISM IS DISCRIMINATION. DISSENT IS ESSENTIAL TO DEMOCRACY. BUT DISSENT MUST NEVER LEAD TO DISORDER OR TO DENYING THE RIGHT OF OTHERS. SO STUDENTS CAN FINISH THEIR SEMESTER AND, THEIR COLLEGE EDUCATION. HATE HAS NO PLACE ON COLLEGE CAMPUSES. NOW. REPUBLICAN CONGRESSWOMAN AND CHAIR OF THE COMMITTEE FOX IS RENEWING CALLS FOR CARDONA’S RESIGNATION OVER HIS RESPONSE TO ANTI-SEMITISM AND CAMPUS DEMONSTRATIONS. EDUCATION SECRETARY MIGUEL CARDONA JOINS ME LIVE NOW FOR MORE ON SECRETARY. THANK YOU FOR COMING ON. YOU KNOW, YESTERDAY, REPRESENTATIVE FOX GAVE YOU NUMEROUS FAILING GRADES AND SHE CITED YOUR QUOTE OF MORAL CLARITY OVER THE ONGOING CAMPUS PROTESTS. >> WHAT’S YOUR RESPONSE TO THAT? WELL, LOOK, YOU KNOW, MY FOCUS IS MAKING SURE OUR EDUCATION SYSTEM HAS THE SUPPORT IT NEEDS AND. QUITE FRANKLY, THERE WAS A LOT OF POLITICAL THEATRICS YESTERDAY. THESE ARE THE SAME PEOPLE THAT PARADE THEIR CARE FOR STUDENTS AND ASK ME TO CUT MY. YOU KNOW, THIS IS THE SAME GROUP THAT WANTED TO CUT THE INVESTIGATION ARM OF THE OFFICE FOR CIVIL RIGHTS BY 3%. IT’S THEATRICS. I’M HERE TO SERVE STUDENTS, SERVE OUR COUNTRY. >> NOW, SOME OF THESE REPUBLICAN LAWMAKERS DEMANDING YOU PULL FEDERAL FUNDING FROM UNIVERSITIES WHO AREN’T CRACKING DOWN HARD ENOUGH ON ANTISEMITISM. >> ARE YOU OPEN TO THAT? >> YOU KNOW, THEY MAKE A LOT OF STATEMENTS THAT THEY KNOW THAT’S NOT WITHIN MY PURVIEW AS SECRETARY OF EDUCATION. WE CAN DO IS INVESTIGATE CASES WHERE ANTISEMITISM IS RAMPANT AND WITHHOLD DOLLARS IF A SCHOOL REFUSES TO PROTECT STUDENTS. WE HAVE OVER 145 CASES OPEN. WE HAVE RESOURCES THERE AND WE’RE WORKING WITH COLLEGES TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY’RE CRACKING DOWN ON LAWLESSNESS AND UNSAFE CONDITIONS ON CAMPUS. >> AND SECRETARY, WE’VE HEARD FROM POLICE FORCES, ESPECIALLY THE NYPD, ABOUT THE IMPACT OF OUTSIDE AGITATORS IN THESE PROTESTS. THE NYPD, AN INITIAL, THEY SAID, SHOWED NEARLY HALF OF THOSE ARRESTED AT COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY CITY COLLEGE WERE ACTUALLY NOT AFFILIATED WITH THE SCHOOL. SO HOW YOU HANDLE THAT PART OF THIS? >> I THINK THAT’S ABSOLUTELY. >> LOOK, THIS IS A PUBLIC SAFETY ISSUE, RIGHT. AND THE REALITY IS WE HAVE A CLASS OF 2024 THAT DESERVES TO GRADUATE. THESE ARE SAME STUDENTS THAT FOUR YEARS AGO WERE IMPACTED. THEIR GRADUATION WAS IMPACTED BY THE PANDEMIC. IT’S REALLY IMPORTANT THAT WE PROTECT OUR STUDENTS AND FAMILIES ON CAMPUS AND MAKE SURE WE FIGHT ANTI-SEMITISM OR ANY FORM OF HATRED ON CAMPUS BOLDLY, WHILE THE RIGHT OF STUDENTS AND PROTEST IS SOMETHING THAT WE SHOULD PROTECT. IT’S NOT A PROTEST WHEN STUDENTS FEEL UNSAFE ON CAMPUS OR WHEN YOU’RE DISORDERLY AND, TAKING OVER BUILDINGS AND MAKING PEOPLE FEEL UNSAFE. >> THESE SCHOOLS ARE PLACES WHERE STUDENTS SHOULD FEEL SAFE ACROSS THE COUNTRY. AND YOU SAID ANY FORM OF DISCRIMINATION. THE COUNCIL ON AMERICAN-ISLAMIC RELATIONS RECENTLY RELEASED ITS 2020 FOR CIVIL RIGHTS REPORT, AND THEY SAY THEY’VE RECEIVED MORE THAN 8000 COMPLAINTS, THE HIGHEST EVER IN COUNCIL’S 30 YEAR HISTORY. SO WHAT DOES THE EDUCATION DEPARTMENT DOING NOT ONLY TO TACKLE ANTI-SEMITISM, BUT ALSO TO TACKLE ISLAMOPHOBIA? >> ABSOLUTELY. YOU KNOW, LAST FRIDAY, I SENT A LETTER OUT TO OVER 5000 COLLEGE PRESIDENTS. YESTERDAY, WE SENT OUT A DEAR COLLEAGUE LETTER, WHICH IS A SIMILAR FORMAT FROM THE OFFICE FOR CIVIL RIGHTS. WE HAVE MATERIALS GUIDANCE AVAILABLE TO THEM. WE HAVE TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE WHERE WE WANT TO WORK WITH THEM TO MAKE SURE THAT KNOW WHAT TO DO. THIS IS A CHALLENGE TO PROTECT FREE SPEECH, BUT ALSO MAKE SURE SCHOOLS ARE SAFE. WE WANT TO WORK WITH OUR SCHOOLS BUT WE’RE NOT GOING TO TOLERATE ANTI-SEMITISM. WE’RE NOT GOING TO TOLERATE ANTI-ARAB OR ANTI-MUSLIM SENTIMENT ON OUR CAMPUSES. >> THAT’S UNACCEPTABLE. THAT’S UN-AMERICAN. AND WE’RE COMMITTED TO IT. AND PART OF THAT COMMITMENT IS GOING TO CONGRESS AND SAYING INSTEAD OF JUST TALKING ABOUT IT OR STANDING A PODIUM, BOLDLY PROVIDE THE FUNDS THAT WE NEED TO INVESTIGATORS. THE $22 MILLION REQUEST THAT I HAVE IS FOR INVESTIGATORS TO CLOSE THESE CASES OUT AND PROVIDE THE ORDER THAT WE NEED ON OUR CAMPUSES. SO IT’S A LITTLE HYPOCRITICAL TO, YOU KNOW, MAKE A BIG GRAND SHOW AND THEN TRY TO CUT THE BUDGET THAT GIVES US THE AUTHORITY AND THE POWER TO MAKE CHANGE ON CAMPUSES. >> DURING THE HEARING, YOU ALSO GOT A LOT OF QUESTIONS ABOUT THE NEW FAFSA ROLLOUT AND ALL THE ISSUES WITH THAT REPRESENTATIVE FOX GAVE YOU AN F GRADE FOR THAT. >> HOW WILL THE DEPARTMENT HOW ARE YOU ADDRESSING THESE ISSUES ALREADY AND HOW ARE YOU ENSURING THAT THESE STUDENTS GET THE MONEY THEY FROM A PROCESS THAT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE SIMPLIFIED? >> YEAH, WELL, YOU THE PROCESS NOW IS WORKING. IF A STUDENT GOES ON STUDENT AID THAT GOV TODAY AND FILLS OUT THE APPLICATION BY FRIDAY OR MONDAY, THE LATEST SCHOOLS HAVE THEIR INFORMATION AND WE KNOW SCHOOLS ARE PROCESSING LETTERS. WE’VE DEVOTED MILLION DOLLARS TO HELP FOR THOSE STUDENTS WHO HAVE NOT YET FILLED IT OUT . THERE WERE DELAYS AND WE’RE COMMITTED TO MAKING SURE WE GET IT RIGHT. AND THE REALITY IS, LOOK, I FILLED IT OUT FOR MY SON TWO YEARS AGO AND IT WAS AN HOUR LONG PROCESS. I FILLED IT OUT THIS YEAR FROM MY DAUGHTER. IT WAS ABOUT 15, 20 MINUTE PROCESS. IT’S ONLY GOING TO GET BETTER. WE’RE COMMITTED TO MAKING IT RIGHT FOR OUR COUNTRY. AND LET’S REMEMBER WHY WE’RE DOING THIS TO OUR HIGHER EDUCATION SYSTEM IS BROKEN. OUR LOAN SYSTEM IS BROKEN. AND WE’RE TAKING ON THE HARD WORK. WE’RE NOT JUST PROTECTING THE STATUS QUO. IT’S ONLY GOING TO GET BETTER. >> AND WE’RE COMMITTED TO MAKING IT RIGHT FOR OUR STUDENTS. AND SECRETARY BEFORE I LET YOU GO, IT’S TEACHER APPRECIATION WEEK AND A NATIONAL CENTER FOR EDUCATION TWO SYSTEM STUDY SAYS 86% OF K THROUGH 12 PUBLIC SCHOOLS REPORTED CHALLENGES HIRING TEACHERS FOR THE 2023 24 SCHOOL YEAR. 45% SAY THEY’RE UNDERSTAFFED. >> WHAT DO YOU THINK? WHAT’S CAUSING THIS SHORTAGE AND WHAT IS THE DEPARTMENT DOING TO TRY TO FIX IT? >> ABSOLUTELY. LOOK, YOU KNOW, I THINK THAT TEACHER SHORTAGE IS A SYMPTOM OF A TEACHER RESPECT ISSUE IN OUR COUNTRY. YOU KNOW, AND I’M HAVING TO CHALLENGE AND REMIND FOLKS, THE EDUCATION COMMITTEE, ESPECIALLY THE REPUBLICANS WHO ARE TRYING TO TEAR DOWN THE BUDGET THAT WE NEED TO DEFEND PUBLIC EDUCATION, NOT DEFUND IT. THAT’S PART OF THE CHALLENGE, RIGHT. BUT WHAT WE’RE DOING AT THE DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION IS INVESTING OVER $2 BILLION IN TEACHER PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT, GROW YOUR OWN PROGRAMS AND JUST LIFTING UP THE PROFESSION. YOU KNOW, TEACHERS ON AVERAGE MAKE 24% LESS THAN PEOPLE WITH SIMILAR DEGREES. OTHER PROFESSIONS. INSTEAD OF TALKING ABOUT TEACHER APPRECIATION WEEK AND JUST YOU KNOW, WHEN THE WEEK COMES UP, LET’S SHOW THEM RESPECT AND GIVE THEM A COMPETITIVE SALARY. MAKE SURE WE HONOR THE PROFESSION THE WAY IT SHOULD BE HONORED. OUR STUDENTS DESERVE THAT. WHEN WE INVEST IN OUR TEACHERS AND WE SHOW THEM RESPECT. IT’S SHOWING RESPECT TO THE EDUCATION SYSTEM IN THIS COUNTRY IS NOT GOING TO GROW WITHOUT A STRONG SYSTEM. >> I’M AN EXAMPLE OF PUBLIC EDUCATION AND WHAT IT CAN DO. ALL RIGHT. EDUCATION SECRETARY MIGUEL CARDONA, WE APPRECIATE YOUR TIME TODAY. THANK YOU. >> THANK YOU. COMING UP, THE NEW POTENTIAL BREAKTHROUGH FOR LOSS TARGETING THE SO-CALLED HUNGER HORMONE. >> HOW THE PROCEDURE WORKS AND THE POTENTIAL RISKS.

I COULD HEAR MY HEART BEATING. A COLD CASE HAS POSSIBLY BEEN CRACKED. THE HELP OF DNA EVIDENCE AND PRETTY MUCH ALL HELL BREAKS LOOSE A MINISTER CHARGED WITH MURDER. WERE YOU WORRIED THAT THIS BLACK MAN, YOUR HUSBAND, IS BEING ACCUSED OF MURDERING TWO WHITE TEENAGE GIRLS? MAYBE YOU WERE LIVING WITH SOMEBODY YOU JUST DIDN’T KNOW? >> THE NEW "20/20" FRIDAY NIGHT ON, ABC. >> WELCOME BACK TO ABC NEWS LIVE. FIRST, DOCTORS IN NORTH CAROLINA ARE STUDYING AND COULD POTENTIALLY GAME CHANGING PROCEDURE THAT TARGETS OBESITY AT A HORMONAL LEVEL. DOCTORS ARE EXPECTED TO PRESENT THEIR FINDINGS LATER THIS MONTH. ABC’S ERIELLE RESHEF SPOKE EXCLUSIVELY TO THE TEAM BEHIND THE PRELIMINARY STUDY, THE MEDICAL TEAM BEHIND A CLINICAL TRIAL FOR A POSSIBLE NEW WEIGHT LOSS PROCEDURE SAYS IT HAS THE POTENTIAL TO BE A GAME CHANGER FOR PATIENTS WHO MIGHT BE AFRAID OF SURGERY. >> THIS MAY BE MORE ACCEPTABLE. IT’S CALLED ENDOSCOPIC ABLATION . AND HERE’S HOW IT WORKS. THE DOCTOR INSERTS A CAMERA INTO THE STOMACH, THE PATIENT IS ASLEEP. FLUIDS ARE ADMINISTERED TO PROTECT THE UNDERLYING STOMACH TISSUE BEFORE A TINY DEVICE ABATES OR BURNS THE LINING OF THE UPPER PORTION OF THE STOMACH THAT PRODUCES GHRELIN, THE SO-CALLED HUNGER HORMONE THAT CAN TRIGGER APPETITE. >> DR. MCGOWAN SAYS IN A LIMITED STUDY OF TEN PATIENTS THAT IT HAS RESULTED IN DECREASED APPETITE AND WEIGHT LOSS. >> WE DO PATIENTS WHO ARE A YEAR OR MORE BEYOND THEIR INITIAL PROCEDURE AND. WHAT WE ARE SEEING IS THAT THEY CONTINUE TO HAVE A DIMINISHMENT DECREASE IN HUNGER, CONTINUE TO REPORT GREATER CONTROL OVER EATING. >> BROOKE NELSON IS ONE OF THE FIRST TO HAVE UNDERGONE THIS TRIAL. SHE SAYS THE RESULTS HAVE BEEN NOTHING SHORT OF REMARKABLE. >> THE CONSTANT JUST WANTING OF FOOD HAS DRASTICALLY DECREASED. I MEAN, THERE’S STILL MOMENTS THAT I WANT A CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIE, BUT THERE’S A LOT MORE MOMENTS WHEN I FIND MYSELF WANTING SOMETHING. GRAINS. >> NELSON LOSING £26 OVER SIX MONTHS. DR. MCGOWAN SAYS THE RESULTS OF THE STUDY INDICATE ON AVERAGE THAT PATIENTS REDUCE THEIR OVERALL WEIGHT BY 7%. >> TODAY I MET 180 THREE, AND WHILE THE NEW PROCEDURE OFFERS A NON-SURGICAL ALTERNATIVE TO GASTRIC BYPASS SURGERY IN WHICH PORTIONS OF THE STOMACH ARE REDUCED SIZE, LIKE ANY PROCEDURE, IT DOES COME WITH. RISKS OF THIS TECHNOLOGY COULD INCLUDE THINGS LIKE ULCERS BLEEDING, SOMEHOW INJURING THE STOMACH. THESE WERE THINGS WE REALLY CAREFUL ABOUT. >> IN THIS CASE, EVERYTHING WAS MILD AND THAT WAS THE CRAMPING AND GAS AND NAUSEA THINGS YOU’D EXPECT WHEN YOU PERFORM A PROCEDURE ON THE STOMACH. >> BUT THERE WERE NO COMPLICATIONS WHATSOEVER. AND NELSON SAYS PROCEDURE IS NOT A SHORTCUT. IT’S JUST A TOOL TO HELP. IT IS STILL VERY FAR FROM BEING APPROVED FOR WIDE USE. THE STUDY WAS LIMITED AND AT THIS POINT LITTLE IS KNOWN ABOUT THE LONG TERM SAFETY AND RESULTS. IT’S ALSO UNCLEAR IF IT WOULD BE A ONE AND DONE SOLUTION OR IF IT WOULD NEED TO BE REPEATED OVER TIME. DIANE ERIELLE RESHEF, THANK YOU. AND IT’S TIME NOW FOR BUT TELL IT LIKE IT IS WHERE DR. ALOK PATEL SHARES HEALTH ADVICE ON THE TOPICS THAT MATTER MOST TO YOU. MAY IS CANCER AWARENESS MONTH. SO TODAY DR. PATEL HAS MORE ON WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT PROTECTING YOUR SKIN. >> IT’S SUNNY. >> LET’S GO OUTSIDE. WE PUT ON SUNSCREEN AND A HAT, GLASSES AND SHIRT. OKAY, NOW READY TO GO BECAUSE CHECK IT OUT. THE SUN WITH ITS ULTRAVIOLET SOLAR GLORY CAN BE DAMAGING TO OUR SKIN, CAUSING SUNBURNS PREMATURE AND SKIN CANCER. AND I’M TRYING TO PROTECT THIS CAFE MOCHA SKIN IN MIND. SO I’VE ENLISTED THE HELP OF THREE ALL STAR DERMATOLOGY GISTS TO GIVE ME SOME ADVICE. FIRST, HOW ABOUT AN OVERVIEW OF HOW COMMON SKIN CANCER IS? SKIN CANCER IS THE MOST COMMON CANCER IN THE UNITED STATES. IN FACT, ONE OUT OF EVERY FIVE AMERICANS WILL DEVELOP SKIN CANCER AT SOME POINT DURING THEIR LIFETIME. >> IT’S MORE COMMON THAN PEOPLE THINK. ANYONE AT ANY AGE AND ANY SKIN COLOR CAN DEVELOP CANCER. AND NOW I’M A LITTLE FREAKED OUT. DON’T BE. >> IT’S ALL ABOUT AWARENESS AND PREVENTION. OKAY. GOT. SO WHAT ARE SOME ACTIONABLE STEPS FOR ME TO TAKE? ULTRAVIOLET LIGHT EXPOSURE. THE MOST PREVENTABLE RISK FACTOR FOR ALL TYPES OF CANCER. SO REMEMBER TO SEEK AND WEAR SOME PROTECTIVE CLOTHING, INCLUDING ON THE SHIRT, HAD GLASSES DONE, AND DONE. WEAR A BROAD SPECTRUM SUNSCREEN THAT WILL LEAD TO 30 AFTER. YEAH, WHENEVER YOU GO OUTSIDE, EVEN ON A CLOUDY DAY. GOOD OLD SUNSCREEN AND ITS ABILITY TO PROTECT HARMFUL UV RAYS. OH, AND TWO MORE THINGS. AVOID TANNING BEDS. THEY’RE REALLY, REALLY BAD FOR YOU. AND TAKE YOUR SKIN OUT EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE. ONCE A MONTH IS ABOUT THE RIGHT TIMEFRAME. >> ANYTHING NEW ROUTINE TO MAKE SURE TO CHECK IN WITH YOUR TOTALITY. >> OKAY, LET’S BE REAL. I’M NOT GOING TANNING ANYTIME SOON, BUT I AM OVERDUE IN SEEING A DERMATOLOGIST. THEY HAD THIS CLEARED SPOT. NEVER MIND THAT. LET’S TALK ABOUT SOME BEST PRACTICES. IT COMES TO CHOOSING AND USING SUNSCREEN. OF COURSE, ALWAYS DON’T TALK SUNSCREEN. MAKE SURE IT’S BROAD SPECTRUM WATER RESISTANT IF YOU CAN AT LEAST SPF 30 OR YOU’RE NOT TRYING. I HAVE PLENTY OF THAT IN STOCK, BUT YOU REMEMBER TO REAPPLY EVERY 2 HOURS. >> I DO. I SEE GREAT COLOR. >> BUT MAKE SURE YOU USE AT LEAST AN OUNCE OF SUNSCREEN SO YOU HAVE ADEQUATE PROTECTION FROM THE SUN. >> THAT’S A GOOD REMINDER. I USE SUNBLOCK EVERY SINGLE DAY. AND IT’S STILL IMPORTANT FOR ME TO HEAR ALL THIS BY FOLLOWING THESE SIMPLE TIPS. YOUR SKIN. MY SKIN. ALL OUR SKIN CAN BE BETTER PROTECTED AND WE CAN REDUCE OUR RISK OF GETTING SKIN CANCER WHILE STILL HAVING SOME FUN IN THE SUN. THANK YOU. DERMATOLOGISTS, SUNS OUT, GUNS OUT. DR. PATEL LOVING THE OUTFIT. AND NOW, I MEAN HAT. IT’S REALLY THIS IS EVERYTHING I KIND OF WANT TO KEEP IT ON BUT YOU PROBABLY KIND OF A WEIRD LOOK GIVEN THAT I’M INSIDE BUT HEY AND I LOOK I WRECKED MY HAIR FOR TV FOR THE FOR THE METHOD ACTING. >> ALSO, BY THE WAY, I STOLE THAT LINE FROM WILL GANSS WHO’S SITTING NEXT TO ME OFF CAMERA. WE WERE JUST VERY MUCH ADMIRING YOUR SUMMER GEAR. BUT LET’S TALK ABOUT SUNSCREEN ,BECAUSE IT THAT WE OFTEN HEAR WORDS LIKE SPF AND, BROAD SPECTRUM AND CHEMICAL AND MINERAL. >> AND YOU KNOW FOR THOSE OF US WHO ARE NOT EXPERTS HERE, IT CAN GET A LITTLE CONFUSING. SO WALK THROUGH THIS. >> WHAT DO WE NEED TO KNOW AND WHY DOES IT ALL MATTER? YEAH, WORDS CAN BE CONFUSING AND I’M ALWAYS GAME FOR A GOOD SCIENCE TERM. >> DECODER SESSION, SO LET’S GET WITH IT. THE FDA ACTUALLY REGULATES THE TERMS BROAD SPECTRUM AND SPF BROAD SPECTRUM, REFERRING TO THE ABILITY TO BLOCK BOTH UVA AND UVB RAYS. THINK A FOR AGING, B FOR BURNING SPF IS YOUR SUN PROTECTION FACTOR, WHICH REFERS TO THE PERCENTAGE OF HARMFUL RAYS THAT WILL BE BLOCKED BY THAT SUNSCREEN, SPECIFICALLY UVB. SPF 30 IS GOING TO BLOCK ABOUT 97%. THAT IS THE MINIMUM YOU SHOULD GET. MINERAL SUNSCREENS REFER TO CREATING A PHYSICAL BARRIER. I THINK ZINC OR TITANIUM DIOXIDE, THOSE ARE THE INGREDIENTS. CHEMICAL WORKS LIKE A SPONGE ABSORBING RAYS ON YOUR SKIN. >> WATER RESISTANT IS ALSO ANOTHER FDA REGULATED, WHICH REFERS TO THE ABILITY FOR A SUNSCREEN TO STAY EFFECTIVE FOR 40 MINUTES AFTER UNDERWATER. AND A QUICK CHECKLIST OF WHAT TO DO. REMINDER, REMEMBER, PUT ON SUNSCREEN 20 MINUTES BEFORE YOU GO OUTSIDE, REAPPLY 2 HOURS, CHECK THE EXPIRATION DATE, AND YOU WANT TO USE AT LEAST OUNCE OF SUNSCREEN. THAT’S ABOUT THE AMOUNT OF A SHOT GLASS. >> MOST RESPONSIBLE USE OF A SHOT GLASS EVER. WHAT ABOUT THE INGREDIENTS IN SUNSCREEN? BECAUSE IF YOU JUST SCROLLING SOCIAL MEDIA, IT CAN REALLY SCARE YOU AND PEOPLE MAKING YOU THINK THE SUNSCREEN IS GOING TO KILL YOU, BUT YOU DON’T WANT THE SKIN CANCER TO KILL YOU. AND THEN IN THE END, IT CAN DRIVE YOU MAD AND PEOPLE START DOING. BUT REMEMBER, THESE INGREDIENTS ARE CLOSELY MONITORED AND STUDIED. THERE’S ABOUT 16 APPROVED INGREDIENTS. THE TWO THAT ARE MOST COMMON THAT ARE DEEMED SAFE BY THE FDA AND THE AMERICAN ACADEMY OF DERMATOLOGY ARE ZINC AND TITANIUM DIOXIDE AND IS KNOWN IS THE RISK OF SKIN CANCER. IF YOU DON’T PUT ON SUNSCREEN. >> NOW, PEOPLE HAVE SEEN HEADLINES ABOUT SUNSCREEN INGREDIENTS BEING ABSORBED INTO YOUR BLOOD, BUT THERE IS NO DEFINITIVE PROOF AT ALL THAT IT IS HARMFUL FOR HUMANS. I DO RESPECT PEOPLE, HOWEVER, ESPECIALLY ON SOCIAL MEDIA, WE’RE WORRIED ABOUT THE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS OF USING SUNSCREEN. >> SO SOME QUICK TIPS, EVEN THOUGH IT’S CONVENIENT, TRY TO AVOID USING SPRAY SUNSCREENS. THE FUMES GREAT. AND THEY ACTUALLY CAN GET INTO THE WATER SUPPLY. YOU WANT TO TRY TO USE A RECYCLED. >> THERE ARE SOME SUNSCREENS THAT COME IN CARDBOARD. ALSO, DO ME A FAVOR AND READ THE INGREDIENTS BECAUSE REEF SAFE IS NOT A REGULATED TERM. SO LOOK WHAT YOU’RE PUTTING ON YOUR SKIN. AND GUESS WHAT? THE MORE CLOTHING YOU’RE WEARING, LESS SUNSCREEN YOU ACTUALLY NEED TO USE. >> AND DR. PATEL, I’M OUT OF TIME, BUT I GOT MY SKIN CHECK. >> HOW OFTEN SHOULD WE BE DOING THAT AT THE DERMATOLOGIST? YOU KNOW, AT THE DERMATOLOGIST, YOU WANT TO DO THAT REGULARLY? THERE IS NO SET TIME SCHEDULE, BUT TRY TO CHECK YOUR SKIN, HEAD TO TOE AFTER THE SHOWER EVERYWHERE YOUR EARS, YOUR YOUR NECK, YOUR BACK BETWEEN YOUR FINGERS AND TOES. SKIN CANCER IS THE MOST CANCER. COMMON CANCER. UNITED STATES. ONE IN FIVE ADULTS WILL DEVELOP IT IN THEIR LIFETIME. ABOUT 1.5 MILLION AMERICANS ARE LIVING WITH MELANOMA. AND IT’S AS AS CHECKING YOUR SKIN OUT. AND IF YOU NOTICE ANYTHING WEIRD, LIKE ASYMMETRY OR WEIRD CHANGING COLORS, A BIG DIAMETER OF A MOLE OR ANY SPOTS ARE EVOLVING. YOU WANT TO GO AND GET THAT LOOKED AT BY A BOARD CERTIFIED DERMATOLOGIST. >> IT CAN ABSOLUTELY SAVE YOUR LIFE. ALL RIGHT, DR. PATEL, THANK YOU. AND REMEMBER, DR. PATEL IS HERE TO TAKE YOUR QUESTIONS.

VICTOR OQUENDO HAS THE LATEST ON THE INVESTIGATION INTO THE SHOOTING AT MUSIC SUPERSTAR DRAKE’S HOME THAT LEFT A SECURITY GUARD WOUNDED. AUTHORITIES SAYING THE HIP HOP ARTIST IS COOPERATING. >> BAD THINGS IS A LOT OF BAD THINGS ARE DAY WAYS.

WHEN OFFICERS ARRIVED, THEY LOCATED A MALE WAS SUFFERING FROM AN APPARENT GUNSHOT WOUND. >> THAT SECURITY GUARD? NO HOSPITALIZED WITH SERIOUS BUT NON-LIFE THREATENING INJURIES. THE SUSPECTS ARE STILL AT LARGE. NO WORD ON WHETHER DRAKE WAS PRESENT AT THE TIME. THIS COMES ON THE HEELS OF THE GRAMMY WINNER’S PUBLIC FEUD WITH FORMER COLLABORATOR TURNED FOE KENDRICK LAMAR.

THERE ARE DOZENS OF CAMERAS AROUND DRAKE’S HOME. TORONTO POLICE SAY THEY HAVE VIDEO OF THE INCIDENT AND THEY’RE REVIEWING TO TRACK DOWN THOSE RESPONSIBLE. >> DIANE VICTOR OQUENDO, THANK YOU. >> AND IT IS TIME NOW FOR THE TEAM WHERE WE BREAK SOME OF THE BUZZY STORIES PEOPLE ARE TALKING ABOUT.

HI, I’M DIANE MACEDO ON ABC NEWS LIVE. FIRST 20 REPORTED TORNADOES HIT FIVE STATES WITH 57 MILLION PEOPLE NOW IN THE STORM. MICHIGAN HAS DECLARED ITS FIRST EVER TORNADO EMERGENCY. WHICH AREAS ARE IN THE PATH OF THE NEW THREAT? AND WHO’S AT THE HIGHEST RISK? STORMY DANIELS ON THE STAND, THE ADULT FILM STAR, THE CENTER OF FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP’S HUSH MONEY TRIAL GIVES DETAILS ABOUT THEIR ALLEGED ENCOUNTER. WHAT SHE SAID THAT HAD THE DEFENSE CALLING FOR A MISTRIAL. TIKTOK FIGHTS BACK. THE SOCIAL MEDIA PLATFORM IS SUING THE U.S. GOVERNMENT OVER A PROPOSED BAN BY THE COMPANY CLAIMS THE NEW LAW IS UNCONSTITUTIONAL. AND ARE WE IN FOR AN A.I. JOB OVERHAUL? SEE THE ABC NEWS EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW WITH THE CEOS OF MICROSOFT LINKEDIN. WHAT THEY’RE SAYING ABOUT MAJOR CHANGES AND THE AI TOOLS COULD PROTECT YOUR CAREER. >> BUT WE BEGIN WITH THAT MASSIVE TORNADO OUTBREAK. AT LEAST 20 TORNADOES HAVE BEEN REPORTED ACROSS FIVE STATES. MICHIGAN IS UNDER A TORNADO EMERGENCY FOR, THE FIRST TIME ON RECORD. ABC’S ALEX PRESHA IS IN HARD HIT MICHIGAN WITH MORE. ALEX, TALK ME THROUGH THE DAMAGE SEEING THERE TODAY. >> DIANE SO WE’RE ABOUT A HALF MILE AWAY FROM THAT FEDEX FACILITY THAT WE SHOWED YOU DURING THE 9:00 HOUR. THIS IS A NEIGHBORHOOD WHERE MANY OF THE HOUSES DATE BACK TO THE FORTIES AND FIFTIES. AND YOU LOOK. YOU CAN JUST SEE DOWN HERE, DOWN LINES, DOWNED TREES, TREES ON HOMES. IT’S LIKE THIS ALL THE WAY DOWN THIS STREET. AND SO WHEN WE TALK ABOUT THIS CLEANUP, A LOT OF FIREFIGHTERS COMING THROUGH ASSESSING THE POWER. OBVIOUSLY, POWER’S OUT IN THIS IN THIS NEIGHBORHOOD. WE CAN HEAR THE GENERATORS IN THE BACKGROUND. BUT A LOT OF NEIGHBORS HELPING NEIGHBORS. THE CLEANUP EFFORTS THAT WE TALKED ABOUT HAVE REALLY STARTED BEGIN. AND ACTUALLY, I MET THE GRANDSON OF THE WOMAN WHO LIVES HERE. THIS IS HERE IN TAGGERT. AND YOU’RE DOING OKAY. IT’S NICE TO SEE HERE. IT’S BEEN A LITTLE BIT CRAZY TO COME DOWN HERE AND TRAVEL AN HOUR AND SEE THE DIFFERENCE OF THE DESTRUCTION. AND THE CLOSER I GOT INTO MY HOMETOWN AND GETTING TO MY GRANDMOTHER’S HOUSE, IT JUST ALMOST BROUGHT A TEAR MY EYE BECAUSE THESE HOMES WERE BUILT A LONG TIME AGO BY HAND TO COME THROUGH HERE AND SEE ALL THESE TREES THAT ARE TWO OR 300 YEARS OLD OR 100 YEARS OLD, RIPPED APART, RIPPED ON THE GROUND IS SOMETHING ASTRONOMICAL. WHAT WHEN YOU SEE WHAT HAPPENED TO SOME OF THESE HOMES, YOUR GRANDMOTHER WAS HOME DURING THIS STORM ACTUALLY INSIDE WITH A HANDICAPPED PERSON AND SHE’S ELDERLY HERSELF AND NO BASEMENT IN THE HOUSE. THE GARAGE WAS COMING OFF THE FOUNDATION AND RIPPED THE INSULATION OUT OF THE HOUSE, RIPPED THE DOOR OFF THE SIDE OF THE BUILDING. THE POOR NEIGHBORS NEXT DOOR WERE HOME TO. SO THANK GOD EVERYBODY’S OKAY. SO FAR. WE’RE IN THE CLEANUP STAGES NOW AND IT’S GOING TO BE A BIG, LONG RECOVERY. ABSOLUTELY. ABSOLUTELY. THANK YOU FOR THAT, TARA. YOU ARE VERY WELCOME. THANK YOU GUYS FOR COMING OUT. OF COURSE. OF COURSE. AND DIANE, I MEAN, THAT’S THAT’S ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE’VE BEEN HEARING REPEATEDLY IS THAT, LOOK, THERE IS A LOT OF DESTRUCTION WITH THIS STORM. BUT, YOU KNOW, WHEN YOU WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT THE DESTRUCTION COMPARED TO THE NUMBER OF INJURIES HERE, THIS COULD HAVE BEEN SIGNIFICANTLY WORSE. YEAH, DEFINITELY A BLESSING THERE, ALEX. BUT THE CLEANUP, I IMAGINE, IS GOING TO BE QUITE AN UNDERTAKING. AND HOW DO THEY PLAN TO TAKE THAT ON? YEAH. AND SO ONE OF THE BIG THINGS RIGHT NOW, WHEN YOU SEE THESE DOWNED POWER LINES, RIGHT? AND SO THAT IS ACTUALLY BEEN KIND OF AN INHIBITOR FOR FOR FOR CREWS KIND OF GETTING IN AND STARTING SOME OF THE CLEANUP PROCESS. SO I MEAN, A LOT OF POWER COMPANIES AND FIRST RESPONDERS HAVE BEEN GOING THROUGH IN TRYING TO TAKE CARE OF THESE DOWNED POWER FIRST. AND THEN SOME OF THAT ADDITIONAL AID IS FUNNELING IN. WE’LL SEE THAT THROUGHOUT THE REST OF THE DAY. BUT, YOU KNOW, THIS THIS IS THE BIG NIGHTMARE IMMEDIATELY FOR FOR FOR A LOT OF THESE NEIGHBORHOODS REALLY STARTING TO TRY TO TAKE BACK THE PIECES . ALL RIGHT. ALEX PRESHA IN PORTAGE, MICHIGAN, THANK YOU. AND A NEW STORM IS TAKING FORM IN THE MIDWEST AND SOUTH TODAY. ABC METEOROLOGIST MELISSA GRIFFIN IS TRACKING IT ALL FOR US. HI, MELISSA AND DIANE. >> TAKE A LOOK AT HOW MANY STORM REPORTS WE’VE ALREADY HAD . THIS FIRST ROUND OF SEVERE WEATHER. MORE THAN 40 TORNADOES REPORTED, 20 OF THEM ALREADY CONFIRMED JUST IN THE LAST TWO DAYS. AND WE HAVE MORE SEVERE WEATHER ON THE WAY. IT DOESN’T END HERE. ALREADY, A SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH HAS BEEN ISSUED FOR PARTS OF MISSOURI. THAT INCLUDES KANSAS CITY DOWN TO SPRINGFIELD. BUT THIS IS JUST THE BEGINNING OF THE SEVERE WEATHER THAT WE’RE GOING TO BE TRACKING TODAY. >> SO LET’S TIME IT ALL OUT. THAT CLUSTER CONTINUES TO PUSH EAST. >> THEN YOU CAN SEE BY LATER THIS EVENING WE HAVE THIS LINE OF VERY STRONG STORMS FROM ST. LOUIS ALL THE WAY DOWN TO DALLAS. ANOTHER LINE HERE ACROSS THE TENNESSEE VALLEY FROM MEMPHIS TO NASHVILLE INTO LOUISVILLE, KENTUCKY, AS WELL. THIS IS THE AREA THAT WE’RE REALLY GOING TO BE WATCHING THROUGHOUT THE EVENING. EVEN INTO THE OVERNIGHT HOURS. YET AGAIN, IT WILL BE THE THIRD DAY IN A ROW OF THE SEVERE OUTBREAK. NOW, OF COURSE, IN THE ENHANCED AREA, THAT’S PRETTY LARGE. IT STRETCHES FROM TEXAS ALL THE WAY TO THE EAST COAST. BUT IN THIS ENHANCED AREAS WHERE I EXPECT THE POSSIBILITY FOR, AGAIN, MORE STRONG TORNADOES POSSIBLE. >> LOUISVILLE DOWN THROUGH MEMPHIS INTO TEXARKANA JUST EAST OF DALLAS. YOU’RE ALL INCLUDED IN THAT. NOW, THIS LEVEL THREE OUT OF FIVE, THAT’S WHERE WE COULD SEE THE TORNADOES. >> IT’S THE LEVEL FOUR OUT OF FIVE HERE IN THE RED AREA THAT WE COULD SEE GIANT HAIL AND SIGNIFICANT WIND GUSTS. >> SO IT’S NOT JUST THE TORNADOES TODAY THAT WE’RE WORRIED ABOUT, BUT IT’S ALSO THE FACT THAT WE COULD SEE WIDESPREAD SEVERE WEATHER IN AREA. AND AGAIN TOMORROW, DIANE, MORE SEVERE STORMS PUSHES TO THE GULF COAST, STRETCHING ALL THE WAY THIS TIME INTO THE MID-ATLANTIC. >> DIANE ALL RIGHT. ABC NEWS METEOROLOGIST MELISSA GRIFFIN, THANK YOU. FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP IS BACK IN FLORIDA TODAY AFTER A DRAMATIC DAY IN HIS CRIMINAL HUSH MONEY TRIAL. STORMY DANIELS TOOK THE STAND COMING FACE FACE WITH THE FORMER PRESIDENT FOR THE FIRST TIME IN MORE THAN A DECADE. THE FORMER ADULT FILM STAR GAVE A DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF HER ALLEGED ENCOUNTER WITH TRUMP AND THE PAYMENT TO SILENCE HER BEFORE THE 2016 ELECTION. TRUMP HAS DENIED ALL WRONGDOING. ABC SENIOR INVESTIGATIVE CORRESPONDENT AARON KATERSKY JOINS ME NOW FROM OUTSIDE THAT COURTHOUSE ALONG WITH ABC NEWS LEGAL CONTRIBUTOR CON NOWADAY. ERIN, HOW CRITICAL WAS STORMY DANIELS TESTIMONY TO THE PROSECUTION’S CASE BEFORE THE JUDGE. HE ALLOWED IN BECAUSE. HE SAID THE JURY NEEDED TO UNDERSTAND THE BASIS FOR, THE $130,000 HUSH PAYMENT THAT STORMY DANIELS RECEIVED 12 DAYS BEFORE THE 2016 ELECTION. BUT HER TESTIMONY, IT’S HARD TO SEE HOW IT IT IS CRUCIAL TO THE CASE ABOUT FALSIFIED DOCUMENTS. I MEAN, SHE SPENT A LOT OF TALKING ABOUT HOW HER WAS THE ONLY ONE TO MANDATE ABOUT HER UPBRINGING IN LOUISIANA. WE LEARNED A LOT OF DETAILS ABOUT THE HOTEL SUITE WHERE. SHE SAID SHE AND DONALD TRUMP HAD SEX FROM THE BLACK AND WHITE TILE FLOOR TO THE PARK, PLUS AN OLD SPICE IN HIS TOILETRY BAG TO THE SILK OR SATIN PAJAMAS SHE SAID HE WAS WEARING TO THE POWER IMBALANCE THAT SHE SAID EXISTED BETWEEN THEM. SHE HAD NEVER SPOKEN LIKE THAT BEFORE. THE JUDGE EVEN SAID SOME THOSE DETAILS WERE PROBABLY BETTER LEFT UNSAID. THE DEFENSE OBJECTED ASKING FOR A MISTRIAL. IT’S IMPOSSIBLE TO KNOW HOW THE JURY TOOK ALL OF THIS IN DIANE, OF COURSE, BUT THEY WERE RAPT AND MANY OF THEM WERE TAKING FURIOUS NOTES WHERE TRUMP HIMSELF WAS JUST FURIOUS. THE JUDGE AT ONE POINT TELLING HIS LAWYER HE HEARD TRUMP CURSING AUDIBLY DURING DANIELS’S TESTIMONY. >> NOW, AFTER STORMI’S INITIAL TESTIMONY, WHEN CAME BACK IN FROM FROM LUNCH OR A RECESS, THE DEFENSE ACTUALLY ASKED FOR MR. TRIAL, SAYING HER TESTIMONY WAS PREJUDICIAL AND IRRELEVANT TO THE CASE. THE JUDGE DISAGREED, BUT HE DID SAY SOME OF THE DETAILS WERE UNNECESSARY AND THEN SEEMED TO BLAME THE DEFENSE FOR NOT OBJECTING MORE DURING HER TESTIMONY. >> WHAT DID YOU MAKE OF THAT? I THINK ONE, THE JUDGE WAS MAKING THE RIGHT CALL THAT THERE’S NOT GOING TO BE A MISTRIAL ABOUT THIS. AND FRANKLY, THE FACT THAT THE JUDGE SAYING IT WAS ON THE DEFENSE’S WATCH TO MAKE OBJECTIONS, HE JUST POINTING OUT THIS IS AN ADVERSARIAL SYSTEM. AND FRANKLY, IF THEY WANTED TO OBJECT, THEY COULD HAVE AND HE COULD HAVE RULED ON THAT STUFF AS IT WAS COMING. ULTIMATELY, YOU KNOW, BARRON’S QUESTION, YOU KNOW WHAT THE JURY THOUGHT OF ALL THESE LURID DETAILS AND MIGHT BE HIS ULTIMATELY THOSE DETAILS MATTERED TO JURORS. AND I THINK PROSECUTION, WHAT THEY WERE TRYING TO DO WAS IN PROVIDING THOSE DETAILS OR ELICITING THOSE DETAILS FROM HIS DANIELS TO SHOW THAT THIS THING REALLY HAPPENED. >> ERIN, WE ALSO HAVE SOME BREAKING NEWS. A GEORGIA APPEALS COURT HAS NOW AGREED TO TAKE UP TRUMP TEAM’S APPEAL OF THE FANI WILLIS DISQUALIFICATION RULING. NOW, A LOWER COURT HAD ALREADY RULED THAT WILLIS CAN REMAIN ON THAT CASE. >> SO WHAT HAPPENS THERE NOW? SO THE TRUMP TEAM WANTS TO APPEAL THE DECISION. THEY, LIKE FANI WILLIS, KICKED OFF THE CASE ENTIRELY. THE JUDGE HAS RULED THAT FANI WILLIS COULD STAY AS LONG AS HER FORMER PARAMOUR ,WADE WAS REMOVED FROM THE CASE TO AVOID EVEN THE APPEARANCE OF ANY KIND OF A CONFLICT. SO HE’S OFF THE CASE. FANI WILLIS IS ON THE APPELLATE COURT HAS AGREED TO TAKE UP THE MATTER. THEY HAVEN’T AGREED TO ANY DECISION, BUT AT LEAST AGREED TO TAKE IT UP, WHICH IS YET ONE MORE DELAY FOR A CASE THAT STILL DOES NOT HAVE A DATE TO START TRIAL. >> SO WHAT DOES THIS DO? >> THIS THESE DELAYS DO, GIVEN WE’RE SIX MONTHS AWAY FROM THE ELECTION NOW? >> I THINK THAT’S A GREAT QUESTION. AND ULTIMATELY, WHAT IT DOES IS IT GUARANTEES THAT THE ONLY CASE THAT’S GOING TO TRIAL OUT OF THESE THREE CRIMINAL CASES, THE DOCUMENTS CASE, THE WILLIS CASE AND SIX CASE IS ULTIMATELY THE CASE THAT’S NOW BEFORE THE JUDGE AND JURY IN NEW YORK STATE. >> AND ERIN, LOOKING BACK AT THE CRIMINAL HUSH MONEY TRIAL NOW, STORMY DANIELS WAS, ONE OF THE KEY WITNESSES IN THIS CASE. RIGHT. HER AND MICHAEL COHEN ARE ARGUABLY THE TWO BIG NAMES THAT WE’RE LOOKING TO HEAR FROM . SO NOW THAT SHE HAS HAD THIS TESTIMONY, WHAT DO YOU EXPECT TO HAPPEN NEXT? WELL, SHE’S GOING TO BE BACK ON THURSDAY FOR MORE CROSS-EXAMINATION. AND ALREADY SHE HAS CONCEDED SHE HATES TRUMP AND SHE WANTS TO SEE HIM HELD ACCOUNTABLE. THE DEFENSE ATTORNEY, SUSAN NICHOLAS, ASKED HER, YOU WANT TO SEE HIM GO TO JAIL? AND SHE SAID, I WANT TO SEE HIM HELD ACCOUNTABLE. AND IF THAT MEANS JAIL AND THEN SO BE IT. IF SHE IS ALSO TRIED TO RESIST THE IDEA, THOUGH, THAT SHE WAS OUT TO EXTORT HIM, REMEMBER, DONALD TRUMP DENIES A ENCOUNTER EVER HAPPENED. THE DEFENSE HAS SUGGESTED THAT DANIELS HAS BEEN MAKING MONEY DINING OUT ON THIS STORY FOR FOR A DECADE. AND IT AMOUNTS TO EXTORTION OF PRESIDENT TRUMP. SHE HAS THAT. BUT I EXPECT THAT’S THE TACK THE DEFENSE IS GOING TO RESUME WHEN SHE GETS BACK ON THE WITNESS STAND ON THURSDAY. AND DIANE, THE TESTIMONY THAT WILL NEVER BE MENTIONED BECAUSE IMMEDIATELY PRECEDED STORMY DANIELS AND WAS OVERSHADOWED MAY HAVE EVEN BEEN MORE TO THE POINT, TO THE CRUX OF THE CASE. AND THAT IS A BOOK EDITOR READING EXCERPTS FROM TRUMP’S OWN BOOKS, TALKING ABOUT ALWAYS READING THE INVOICES AND SIGNING THE CHECKS HAND SO YOU CAN BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE. THOSE ARE THE KINDS OF DETAILS THAT PROSECUTORS HOPE STICK WITH THE JURY, TOO. >> ALL RIGHT, AARON KATERSKY COUNT NOWADAY. >> THANK YOU BOTH. AND TIC TAC IS SUING THE U.S. GOVERNMENT OVER A NEW LAW THAT COULD BAN THE APP. THE SOCIAL MEDIA COMPANY CLAIMS THE LAW IS UNCONSTITUTIONAL, VIOLATES AMERICANS RIGHTS TO FREE SPEECH. ABC’S RACHEL SCOTT ALEXIS CHRISTOFOROUS HAS MORE ON THAT. >> RACHEL THIS NEW LAW FORCES TIKTOK’S CHINESE PARENT COMPANY TO EITHER SELL THE PLATFORM OR FACE A TOTAL BAN IN THE U.S. SO ON WHAT GROUNDS ARE THEY NOW SUING? THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT? YEAH. LOOK, TIKTOK AND ITS PARENT COMPANY, BYTEDANCE’S ARE MAKING IT CLEAR THAT THEWILL BE TAKING ON THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT AND THEY OUTLINE IN LAWSUIT THAT NOT ONLY ARE THEY NOT WILLING TO TRY AND FIND A NEW PARENT COMPANY FOR TIKTOK, THAT THEY SIMPLY WILL NOT DO SO. SO ONE OF THE MAJOR ARGUMENTS THAT TIK TOK OUTLINES IN THIS LAWSUIT IS THAT A POSSIBLE BAN INFRINGES ON THE RIGHTS OF 170 MILLION AMERICANS WHO USE THE APP RIGHT HERE IN THE UNITED STATES. TIKTOK ALSO ARGUES THAT THE CHINESE PARENT COMPANY, BYTEDANCE CANNOT GET PERMISSION FROM THE CHINESE GOVERNMENT NECESSARILY TO SELL A CERTAIN FEATURE OF THE APP THAT POWERS TIKTOK HERE IN THE UNITED STATES. THEY ALSO MAKE THE CASE THAT IT WOULD TAKE YEARS TO FIND A WHOLE NEW SET OF ENGINEERS TO SORT OF POWER THE PLATFORM HERE IN THE UNITED STATES. AND SO ULTIMATELY IT WOULD LEAD TO A SHUT DOWN OF TIK TOK BY END OF JANUARY OF NEXT YEAR. AND SO THEY ARE TAKING ON THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT AND THEY SAY THAT THEY WILL CHALLENGE THIS ALL THE WAY THROUGH THE COURTS. ALEXIS, WE’VE HEARD POTENTIAL BUYERS ARE LINING TO BUY TIKTOK. SO WHAT’S THE PARENT BYTEDANCE SAYING ABOUT A POSSIBLE SALE? ARE THEY OPEN TO IT? THEY HAVE MADE VERY CLEAR THEY ARE NOT GOING TO SELL THIS COMPANY. AND THEY ACTUALLY SAY IT’S NOT FEASIBLE. TO RACHEL’S POINT, THEY’RE SAYING THEY WOULD HAVE TO TRANSFER MILLIONS LINES OF SOURCE CODE, WHICH IS THE LIFEBLOOD OF TIK TOK TO THE U.S. THEN ENGINEERS HERE WOULD HAVE TO COME UP TO SPEED WITH THAT SOURCE CODE OR THAT ALGORITHM THAT MAKES THE COMPANY SO VALUABLE. THEY SAY THAT COULD TAKE YEARS TO HAVE HAPPEN. AND WHAT A LOT OF PEOPLE MIGHT NOT REALIZE IS BYTEDANCE’S ACTUALLY OWNS MANY DIFFERENT COMPANIES. AND TIK TOK IS, JUST ONE OF THEM. IT DOES NOT MEAN A LOT IN TERMS REVENUE TO BYTEDANCE. SO IN MANY WAYS THE COMPANY WOULD RATHER SEE IT BE SHUT DOWN AND BANNED IN THE US AND ACTUALLY SELL IT TO AN AMERICAN BASED COMPANY. SO WHAT DOES THIS MEAN FOR USERS? WELL, WE DON’T KNOW UNTIL JANUARY 19TH. I MEAN, IF IT WERE TO BE BANNED ,YOU WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO GET ON THE APP. THE APPLE AND GOOGLE PLAY STORES WOULD NOT CARRY INFLUENCERS WHO DEPEND ON IT FOR REVENUE. WOULDN’T BE ABLE TO USE IT. PEOPLE ARE LINING UP, AS YOU SAID, TO TRY AND BUY IT, INCLUDING DEEP POCKETED COMPANIES LIKE MICROSOFT AND ORACLE. >> SO KEVIN O’LEARY ON THIS SHOW TALKING ABOUT HOW HE WANTS TO BUY IT. YEAH. COME TOGETHER WITH OTHER RICH FOLKS, A YOU KNOW, A CONSORTIUM OF PEOPLE BUY THIS COMPANY. >> YOU’RE LOOKING AT IT POSSIBLY WORTH $100 BILLION WITH THE ALGORITHM IF THEY WERE TO SELL IT WITHOUT THAT ALGORITHM. SOME ARE SAYING IT COULD BE 30 OR $40 BILLION. REMEMBER, SIX OUT OF EVERY TEN AMERICANS UNDER THE AGE OF 30 USES TIKTOK. THIS IS A VERY VALUABLE COMPANY . SO, RACHEL, HOW ARE LAWMAKERS RESPONDING TO THE LAWSUIT. >> WELL, FOR THE MOST PART, LAWMAKERS ARE PRETTY UNITED. THIS YOU HAD THIS BIPARTISAN BILL THAT WAS PASSED IN BOTH THE HOUSE AND THE THAT MADE ITS WAY TO THE PRESIDENT’S DESK AND HE ULTIMATELY SIGNED IT. THEY WARNED OF THE NATIONAL SECURITY RISKS HERE. THEY SAY THAT BY USING TIKTOK, THAT THE CHINESE PARENT COMPANY, BYTEDANCE AND EVEN THE CHINESE GOVERNMENT COULD THEN HAVE ACCESS TO YOUR BROWSING HISTORY, EVEN YOUR LOCATION, AS WELL AS YOUR DATA. NOW, TIKTOK DOES DENY THOSE ALLEGATIONS. ONE THING THAT IS ALSO NOTABLE IN THIS LAWSUIT, TIKTOK POINTS OUT THAT EVEN THOUGH THE PRESIDENT SIGNED THAT BILL, THAT COULD LEAD TO A POSSIBLE BAN ON TIK TOK HERE IN THE UNITED STATES, THE BIDEN CAMPAIGN HAS A TIK TOK AND HAS CONTINUED TO USE TIKTOK EVEN AFTER PRESIDENT SIGNED THAT BILL INTO LAW. AND SO THEY ARGUE THE USE OF TIK TOK BY THE PRESIDENT’S OWN CAMPAIGN FOR 2024 AND EVEN OTHER MEMBERS OF CONGRESS COMPLETELY UNDERMINE THEIR ARGUMENTS THAT THIS IS SOMEHOW A NATIONAL SECURITY THREAT, THAT THEY’RE PUTTING AMERICANS. DATA AND PRIVACY AT RISK. THIS IS SOMETHING I ASKED THE VICE PRESIDENT ABOUT JUST A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO WHEN I INTERVIEWED HER, AND SHE SAID THAT THEY DON’T WANT A BAN AT THIS POINT. THEY ARE WORRIED, OBVIOUSLY, ABOUT THE PARENT COMPANY OF TIK TOK, BUT THEY ARE NOT GOING TO COMMENT ON ONGOING LITIGATION DIANE. ALL RIGHT, ALEXIS CHRISTOFOROUS RACHEL SCOTT, THANK YOU BOTH. >> COMING UP, AN ABC NEWS EXCLUSIVE WITH THE CEOS OF MICROSOFT SOFT AND LINKEDIN, HOW I COULD CREATE A JOB OVERHAUL AND THE TOOLS YOU CAN USE NOW IN YOUR CAREER TO WHENEVER NEWS BREAKS. >> WE ARE HERE IN ISRAEL A NATION AT WAR.

THIS MORNING, AMERICA’S ONE EARLY MORNING NEWS ON ABC NEWS. >> WHAT ACTOR ABC NEWS LIVE FIRST, THANKS FOR STREAMING WITH US. YOU WERE AT NEW YORK CITY ON THIS WEDNESDAY AND WE HAVE A LOT OF NEWS TO GET TO. HERE’S THE RUNDOWN RIGHT NOW. SEVERE WEATHER IS ON THE MOVE WITH 57 MILLION PEOPLE IN ITS PATH. THE POSSIBILITY OF STRONG TORNADOES, GIANT HAIL, DESTRUCTIVE WINDS AND FLASH FLOODING STRETCHES FROM TO VIRGINIA. THIS COMES AFTER AT LEAST 20 REPORTED TORNADOES WREAKED HAVOC ACROSS FIVE STATES. MICHIGAN DECLARED A STATE OF EMERGENCY AS CREWS ASSESS THE DAMAGE. AND HERE’S A LOOK AT. A FEDEX FACILITY IN PORTAGE, MICHIGAN, THAT COLLAPSED, TRAPPING DOZENS OF PEOPLE. THANKFULLY, EVERYONE GOT OUT SAFELY. BALTIMORE OFFICIALS SAY THE BODY OF THE SIXTH AND FINAL VICTIM OF THE FRANCIS BRIDGE COLLAPSE HAS BEEN RECOVERED. A 37 YEAR OLD MAN WAS WORKING ON THE BRIDGE WHEN IT WAS HIT BY A CARGO SHIP IN MARCH. SHIPS CONTAINERS ARE BEING REMOVED IN HOPES OF FULLY REOPENING BALTIMORE’S PORTS THE END OF THIS MONTH. AND MORE ARRESTS ARE HAPPENING AT COLLEGE CAMPUSES, THE COUNTRY AMID PROTESTS AGAINST THE ISRAEL-HAMAS WAR. THE D.C. METROPOLITAN POLICE SAY THEY’VE ARRESTED 30 PEOPLE AT A PROTEST AT GEORGE WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY THIS MORNING. POLICE SAY THEY WERE ATTEMPTING TO BREAK UP THE ENCAMPMENT WHEN THINGS ESCALATED. AT LEAST 130 PEOPLE WERE ARRESTED AT THE UNIVERSITY OF MASSACHUSETTS OVERNIGHT AND NYPD SAYS IT BROKE UP THE LAST REMAINING PRO-PALESTINIAN ENCAMPMENT AT THE FASHION INSTITUTION OF TECHNOLOGY, INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY IS RESULTING IN ROUGHLY 50 ARRESTS. AND THE THUNDER TOOK THE WIN OVER THE MAVERICKS AS THE PLAYOFFS HEAT UP. OKLAHOMA CITY IS BACK IN THE WESTERN SEMIS FOR THE FIRST TIME SINCE 2016, COMING BACK IN THE SECOND HALF TO BEAT DALLAS. THE CELTICS TOPPED THE CAVS 122 95, AND TONIGHT THE PACERS PLAY . >> THE KNICKS WHO ARE UP ONE NOTHING IN THAT SERIES. AND THE EDUCATION DEPARTMENT IS ASKING CONGRESS TO APPROVE A $22 MILLION INCREASE TO THIS YEAR’S PROPOSED BUDGET AFTER RISE OF ANTI-SEMITISM. EDUCATION SECRETARY MIGUEL CARDONA SAYS THE FUNDS WOULD HELP THE OFFICE OF CIVIL RIGHTS INVESTIGATE TITLE SIX COMPLAINTS. CARDONA APPEARED BEFORE THE HOUSE EDUCATION AND THE WORKFORCE COMMITTEE YESTERDAY SAYING ANTI-SEMITISM HAS NO PLACE IN AMERICA THAT. EVERY STUDENT DESERVES TO LEARN IN AN ENVIRONMENT FREE OF DISCRIMINATION. >> FEAR. MAKE NO MISTAKE, ANTI-SEMITISM IS DISCRIMINATION. DISSENT IS ESSENTIAL TO DEMOCRACY. BUT DISSENT MUST NEVER LEAD TO DISORDER OR TO DENYING RIGHT OF OTHERS. SO STUDENTS CAN FINISH THEIR SEMESTER AND THEIR COLLEGE EDUCATION. HATE HAS NO PLACE ON COLLEGE CAMPUSES. >> NOW REPUBLICAN CONGRESSWOMAN AND CHAIR OF THE COMMITTEE, VIRGINIA FOX, IS RENEWING CALLS FOR CARDONA’S RESIGNATION OVER HIS TO ANTI-SEMITISM AND CAMPUS DEMONSTRATIONS. AND EDUCATION SECRETARY MIGUEL CARDONA JOINS ME LIVE NOW FOR ON THE SECRETARY. THANK YOU FOR COMING ON. YOU KNOW, YESTERDAY REPRESENTATIVE FOX GAVE YOU NUMEROUS FAILING GRADES AND SHE CITED YOUR, QUOTE, LACK OF MORAL CLARITY OVER THE ONGOING CAMPUS PROTESTS. >> WHAT’S YOUR RESPONSE TO THAT? WELL, LOOK, YOU KNOW, MY FOCUS IS MAKING SURE OUR EDUCATION SYSTEM HAS THE SUPPORT IT NEEDS. AND FRANKLY, THERE WAS A LOT OF POLITICAL THEATRICS YESTERDAY. THESE ARE THE SAME PEOPLE THAT PARADE THEIR CARE FOR STUDENTS AND ASK ME TO CUT MY BUDGET. YOU KNOW, THIS IS THE SAME GROUP THAT WANTED TO CUT THE INVESTIGATION ARM OF THE OFFICE FOR CIVIL RIGHTS BY, 23%. IT’S THEATRICS. I’M HERE TO SERVE STUDENTS AND SERVE OUR COUNTRY. >> NOW, SOME OF THESE REPUBLICAN LAWMAKERS, THEY’RE DEMANDING YOU PULL FEDERAL FUNDING FROM UNIVERSITIES WHO AREN’T DOWN HARD ENOUGH ON ANTI-SEMITISM. >> ARE YOU OPEN TO THAT? >> YOU KNOW, THEY MAKE A LOT OF STATEMENTS THAT THEY KNOW THAT’S NOT WITHIN MY PURVIEW AS SECRETARY OF EDUCATION. WHAT WE CAN DO IS INVESTIGATE CASES WHERE ANTI-SEMITISM IS RAMPANT AND WITHHOLD DOLLARS IF A SCHOOL REFUSES, PROTECT STUDENTS. WE HAVE OVER 145 CASES OPEN. WE HAVE RESOURCES THERE, AND WE’RE WORKING WITH COLLEGES TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY’RE CRACKING DOWN ON LAWLESSNESS AND UNSAFE CONDITIONS ON CAMPUS. >> AND, SECRETARY, WE’VE HEARD FROM POLICE FORCES, ESPECIALLY THE NYPD, ABOUT THE IMPACT OF OUTSIDE AGITATORS IN THESE PROTESTS. THE NYPD, AN INITIAL ANALYSIS THEY SAID SHOWED NEARLY HALF OF THOSE ARRESTED AT COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY AND CITY COLLEGE WERE ACTUALLY NOT AFFILIATED WITH THE SCHOOL. SO HOW DO YOU HANDLE THAT PART OF THIS? >> I THINK THAT’S ABSOLUTELY RIGHT. LOOK, THIS IS A PUBLIC SAFETY ISSUE, RIGHT? AND THE REALITY IS WE HAVE A CLASS OF 2024 THAT DESERVES TO GRADUATE. THESE ARE THE SAME STUDENTS THAT FOUR YEARS AGO WERE IMPACTED. THEIR GRADUATION WAS IMPACTED, THE PANDEMIC. IT’S REALLY IMPORTANT THAT WE PROTECT OUR STUDENTS AND FAMILIES ON CAMPUS AND MAKE SURE WE FIGHT ANTI-SEMITISM OR ANY FORM OF HATRED ON CAMPUS BOLDLY, WHILE THE RIGHT OF STUDENTS AND PROTEST IS SOMETHING THAT WE SHOULD PROTECT. IT’S NOT A PROTEST WHEN STUDENTS FEEL UNSAFE ON CAMPUS OR WHEN YOU’RE DISORDERLY AND OVER BUILDINGS AND MAKING PEOPLE FEEL UNSAFE. >> THESE SCHOOLS ARE PLACES WHERE STUDENTS SHOULD FEEL SAFE ACROSS THE COUNTRY. >> AND YOU SAID ANY FORM OF DISCRIMINATION. THE COUNCIL ON AMERICAN-ISLAMIC RELATIONS RECENTLY RELEASED ITS 2020 FOR CIVIL RIGHTS REPORT, AND THEY SAY THEY’VE RECEIVED THAN 8000 COMPLAINTS, THE HIGHEST EVER IN THE COUNCIL’S 30 YEAR HISTORY. SO WHAT DOES THE EDUCATION DEPARTMENT DOING NOT ONLY TO TACKLE ANTI-SEMITISM, BUT ALSO TO TACKLE ISLAMOPHOBIA? >> ABSOLUTELY. YOU KNOW, LAST FRIDAY, I SENT A LETTER OUT OVER 5000 COLLEGE PRESIDENTS. YESTERDAY, WE SENT A DEAR COLLEAGUE LETTER, WHICH IS A SIMILAR FORMAT FROM THE OFFICE FOR CIVIL. WE HAVE MATERIALS GUIDANCE AVAILABLE TO THEM. WE HAVE TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE WHERE WE WANT TO WORK WITH THEM TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY KNOW WHAT TO DO. THIS IS A CHALLENGE TO PROTECT FREE SPEECH, BUT ALSO MAKE SURE SCHOOLS ARE SAFE. WE WANT TO WORK WITH OUR SCHOOLS, BUT WE’RE NOT GOING TO TOLERATE ANTI-SEMITISM. WE’RE NOT GOING TO TOLERATE ANTI-ARAB OR ANTI-MUSLIM SENTIMENT ON OUR CAMPUSES. >> THAT’S UNACCEPTABLE. THAT’S UN-AMERICAN. AND WE’RE COMMITTED TO IT. AND PART OF THAT COMMITMENT IS GOING TO CONGRESS AND SAYING INSTEAD OF JUST TALKING ABOUT IT OR STANDING BEHIND A PODIUM, BOLDLY PROVIDE THE FUNDS THAT WE NEED TO GET THE $22 MILLION REQUEST THAT I HAVE IS FOR INVESTIGATE US TO CLOSE THESE CASES OUT AND PROVIDE THE ORDER THAT WE NEED ON OUR CAMPUSES. SO IT’S A LITTLE HYPOCRITICAL TO, YOU KNOW, MAKE A BIG GRAND SHOW AND THEN TRY TO CUT THE BUDGET THAT GIVES US THE AUTHORITY AND THE POWER TO MAKE CHANGE ON CAMPUSES. >> DURING THE HEARING, YOU ALSO GOT A LOT OF QUESTIONS ABOUT THE NEW FAFSA ROLLOUT AND ALL THE ISSUES WITH THAT. REPRESENTATIVE FOX, YOU AN F GRADE FOR THAT. HOW WILL THE DEPARTMENT. >> HOW ARE YOU ADDRESSING THESE ISSUES ALREADY AND HOW ARE YOU ENSURING THESE STUDENTS GET THE MONEY THEY NEED FROM A PROCESS THAT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE SIMPLIFIED? YEAH, WELL, YOU KNOW, THE PROCESS NOW IS WORKING. IF A STUDENT GOES ON STUDENT AID THAT GOV TODAY AND FILLS OUT THE APPLICATION BY FRIDAY, MONDAY, THE LATEST SCHOOLS WILL HAVE THEIR INFORMATION. AND WE KNOW SCHOOLS ARE PROCESSING LETTERS. WE’VE DEVOTED $50 MILLION TO HELP FOR THOSE STUDENTS WHO HAVE NOT YET FILLED IT OUT. THERE WERE DELAYS AND WE’RE COMMITTED TO MAKING SURE WE GET IT RIGHT. AND THE REALITY IS, LOOK, I FILLED IT OUT FOR MY SON TWO YEARS AGO AND IT WAS AN HOUR LONG PROCESS. I FILLED IT OUT THIS YEAR FOR MY IT WAS ABOUT A 15, 20 MINUTE PROCESS. IT’S ONLY GOING TO GET BETTER. WE’RE COMMITTED TO MAKING IT RIGHT FOR OUR COUNTRY. AND LET’S REMEMBER WHY WE’RE DOING THIS TO OUR HIGHER EDUCATION SYSTEM IS BROKEN. OUR LOAN SYSTEM BROKEN. AND WE’RE TAKING ON THE HARD WORK. WE’RE NOT JUST PROTECTING THE STATUS QUO. >> IT’S ONLY GOING TO GET BETTER. AND WE’RE COMMITTED TO MAKING IT RIGHT FOR OUR STUDENTS. AND SECRETARY, BEFORE I LET YOU GO, IF TEACHER APPRECIATION WEEK AND A NATIONAL CENTER FOR EDUCATION TWO SYSTEMS STUDY SAYS 86% OF K THROUGH 12 PUBLIC SCHOOLS REPORTED CHALLENGES IS HIRING TEACHERS FOR THE 2023 24 SCHOOL YEAR. 45% SAY THEY’RE UNDERSTAFFED. >> WHAT DO YOU THINK? WHAT’S CAUSING THIS SHORTAGE AND WHAT IS DEPARTMENT DOING TO TRY TO FIX IT? >> ABSOLUTELY. LOOK, YOU KNOW, I THINK THAT TEACHER SHORTAGE IS A SYMPTOM OF A TEACHER RESPECT ISSUE IN OUR COUNTRY. YOU KNOW, AND I’M HAVING TO CHALLENGE AND REMIND FOLKS IN THE EDUCATION COMMITTEE, ESPECIALLY THE REPUBLICANS WHO ARE TRYING TO TEAR DOWN THE BUDGET THAT WE NEED TO DEFEND PUBLIC EDUCATION, NOT DEFUND IT. THAT’S PART OF THE CHALLENGE. RIGHT. BUT WHAT WE’RE DOING AT THE DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION IS INVESTING OVER $2 BILLION IN TEACHER PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT, GROW YOUR OWN PROGRAMS AND JUST LIFTING UP THE PROFESSION. YOU KNOW, TEACHERS ON AVERAGE MAKE 24% LESS THAN PEOPLE WITH SIMILAR DEGREES IN OTHER PROFESSIONS. INSTEAD OF TALKING ABOUT TEACHER APPRECIATION WEEK AND JUST, YOU KNOW, WHEN THE WEEK COMES UP, LET’S SHOW THEM RESPECT AND GIVE THEM A COMPETITIVE SALARY. MAKE SURE WE HONOR THE PROFESSION THE WAY IT SHOULD BE HONORED. OUR STUDENTS DESERVE THAT. WHEN WE INVEST IN OUR TEACHERS AND WE SHOW THEM RESPECT AND SHOWING RESPECT TO THE EDUCATION SYSTEM IN THIS COUNTRY IS NOT GOING TO GROW WITHOUT A STRONG EDUCATION SYSTEM. >> I’M AN EXAMPLE OF PUBLIC EDUCATION, WHAT IT CAN DO. ALL RIGHT. >> EDUCATION SECRETARY MIGUEL CARDONA, WE APPRECIATE YOUR TIME TODAY. THANK YOU. YOU. >> COMING UP, THE NEW POTENTIAL BREAKTHROUGH FOR WEIGHT LOSS TARGETING THE SO-CALLED HUNGER HORMONE. >> HOW THE PROCEDURE WORKS AND THE POTENTIAL RISKS. ALSO AHEAD, IT’S WARMING UP OUTSIDE AND THAT MAKES IT EVEN MORE IMPORTANT TO PROTECT YOUR SKIN. DR. PATEL JOINS US WITH HIS SUNNY DAY TIPS AND AN AMAZING HAT. WE’RE GOING TO TALK SUNSCREEN NEXT. >> WHAT DOES IT TO BE THE MOST WATCHED NEWSCAST IN AMERICA? AN OPERATION TAKING PLACE DURING COMBAT OPERATIONS. WE’RE APPROACHING THE GATE NOW. MILITANTS CAME IN FROM FOUR OR FIVE DIFFERENT DIRECTIONS. OPERATIONAL NUCLEAR REACTORS. WE HAVE A COUPLE OF AND READY TO GO. THE HOUSE IS DESTROYED, BUT THE FLAG, THERE’S A TEAR IN AND OUT OF THE HOUSE. YOU CAN JUST LABEL RIGHT HERE. THE U.S.. >> LOOK AT YOUR SMILE. YOU’RE PROUD OF IT? I LOVE IT. GREAT WORK. HI. WHERE ARE YOU? HOW ARE YOU? APPRECIATE TAKING THE INFORMATION. ISMAIL, DAVID. >> DAVID? YES. YES. I’M DAVID MUIR. >> I KNOW YOU DO. EVERY NIGHT. ABC’S NEWS TONIGHT WITH DAVID MUIR IS AMERICA’S MOST WATCHED NEWSCAST. >> THIS IS NOT ABOUT PARENTS WHO JUST LET THEIR KID WATCH VIOLENT MOVIES PLAYED VIOLENT VIDEO GAMES. THIS IS ABOUT PARENTS WHO NEGLECTED THEIR SON, IGNORED HIS CRIES FOR HELP, THEN BOUGHT HIM A GUN. THE FIRST PARENTS IN AMERICA TO BE CHARGED A SCHOOL SHOOTING. THEY PURCHASED THAT GUN FREE. AND GREG YOU DON’T GET TO WALK AWAY FROM THAT. THAT’S A CRIMINAL ACT. >> SINS OF THE PARENTS, THE CRUMBLY TRIALS. THE OPPOSITE OF LOVE IS NOT HATE. IT’S JUST BEING IGNORED. ONLY ON HULUO O ABC NEWS. FIRST, DOCTORS IN NORTH CAROLINA ARE STUDYING AND COULD POTENTIALLY GAME CHANGING PROCEDURE THAT TARGETS OBESITY AT A HORMONAL LEVEL. ARE EXPECTED TO PRESENT THEIR FINDINGS LATER THIS MONTH. ABC’S ERIELLE RESHEF SPOKE EXCLUSIVELY TO THE TEAM BEHIND THE PRELIMINARY STUDY. >> THE MEDICAL TEAM BEHIND A CLINICAL TRIAL FOR A POSSIBLE NEW WEIGHT LOSS PROCEDURE SAYS IT HAS THE POTENTIAL TO BE A GAME CHANGER FOR PATIENTS WHO MIGHT BE AFRAID OF SURGERY. >> THIS MAY BE MORE ACCEPTABLE. IT’S CALLED ENDOSCOPIC ABLATION . AND HERE’S HOW IT WORKS. THE DOCTOR INSERTS A CAMERA INTO THE STOMACH WHILE THE PATIENT IS ASLEEP. FLUIDS ARE ADMINISTERED TO PROTECT THE UNDERLYING STOMACH TISSUE BEFORE A TINY DEVICE ABATES OR BURNS THE LINING OF THE UPPER PORTION OF THE STOMACH THAT PRODUCES GHRELIN, THE SO-CALLED HUNGER HORMONE THAT CAN TRIGGER APPETITE. >> DR. MCGOWAN SAYS IN A LIMITED STUDY OF TEN PATIENTS THAT IT RESULTED IN DECREASED APPETITE AND WEIGHT LOSS. >> WE DO HAVE WHO ARE A YEAR OR MORE BEYOND THEIR INITIAL PROCEDURE AND WHAT WE ARE IS THAT THEY CONTINUE TO HAVE A DIMINISHMENT DECREASE HUNGER ,CONTINUE TO REPORT GREATER CONTROL OVER EATING. >> BROOKE NELSON, ONE OF THE FIRST TO HAVE UNDERGONE THIS TRIAL. SHE SAYS THE RESULTS HAVE BEEN NOTHING SHORT OF REMARKABLE. >> THE CONSTANT JUST JUST WANTING A FOOD HAS DRASTICALLY . I MEAN, THERE’S STILL MOMENTS THAT I WANT A CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIE, BUT THERE’S A LOT MORE MOMENTS WHEN I FIND MYSELF WANTING SOMETHING LIKE GREEN. >> NELSON LOSING £26 OVER SIX MONTHS. DR. MCGOWAN SAYS THE RESULTS OF THE STUDY INDICATE ON AVERAGE THAT PATIENTS REDUCE THEIR OVERALL WEIGHT BY 7%. >> TODAY I MET 180 THREE AND WHILE THE NEW PROCEDURE OFFERS A NON-SURGICAL ALTERNATIVE TO GASTRIC BYPASS SURGERY IN WHICH PORTIONS OF THE STOMACH ARE REDUCED IN SIZE, LIKE ANY PROCEDURE, IT DOES COME WITH RISKS. NCLUDE THINGS E ULCERS, BLEEDING, SOMEHOW INJURING THE STOMACH. THESE WERE THINGS WE WERE CAREFUL ABOUT. >> IN THIS CASE, EVERYTHING WAS MILD AND THAT WAS THE CRAMPING AND, GAS AND NAUSEA. THINGS YOU’D EXPECT WHEN YOU PERFORM A PROCEDURE ON THE STOMACH. >> BUT THERE WERE NO COMPLICATIONS WHATSOEVER. AND NELSON SAYS PROCEDURE IS NOT A SHORTCUT. IT’S JUST A TOOL TO HELP. IS STILL VERY FAR FROM BEING APPROVED FOR WIDE USE. THE STUDY WAS LIMITED AND AT THIS POINT LITTLE IS KNOWN ABOUT THE LONG TERM SAFETY AND RESULTS. IT’S ALSO UNCLEAR IF IT WOULD BE A ONE AND DONE SOLUTION OR IF IT WOULD NEED TO BE REPEATED OVER TIME. DIANE ERIELLE RESHEF, THANK YOU. AND IT’S TIME NOW FOR BUT TELL IT LIKE IT IS WHERE DR. ALOK PATEL SHARES HEALTH ADVICE ON THE TOPICS THAT MATTER MOST TO YOU. MAY IS CANCER AWARENESS MONTH. SO TODAY DR. PATEL HAS MORE ON WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT PROTECTING YOUR SKIN. >> IT’S SUNNY. >> LET’S GO OUTSIDE. WE PUT ON SUNSCREEN AND A HAT, GLASSES AND SHIRT. OKAY, NOW I’M READY TO GO BECAUSE CHECK IT OUT. THE SUN WITH ITS ULTRAVIOLET SOLAR GLORY CAN BE DAMAGING TO OUR SKIN, CAUSING SUNBURNS PREMATURE AND SKIN CANCER. AND I’M TRYING TO PROTECT THIS CAFE MOCHA IN MIND. SO I’VE ENLISTED THE HELP OF THREE ALL STAR DERMATOL TO GIVE ME SOME ADVICE. FIRST, HOW ABOUT AN OVERVIEW OF HOW COMMON SKIN CANCER IS? SKIN CANCER IS THE MOST COMMON CANCER IN THE UNITED STATES. IN FACT, ONE OUT OF EVERY FIVE AMERICANS WILL DEVELOP SKIN CANCER AT SOME POINT DURING THEIR LIFETIME. WOW. IT’S MORE COMMON THAN PEOPLE THINK. ANYONE AT ANY AGE AND ANY SKIN COLOR. AND NOW I’M A LITTLE FREAKED OUT. DON’T. >> IT’S ALL ABOUT AWARENESS AND PREVENTION. OKAY. GOT IT. >> SO WHAT ARE SOME ACTIONABLE STEPS FOR ME TO TAKE? ULTRAVIOLET LIGHT EXPOSURE IS THE MOST PREVENTABLE RISK FACTOR FOR ALL TYPES OF CANCER. SO REMEMBER TO SLEEP AND WEAR SOMETHING. CLOTHING, SITTING ON THESE SHIRT HATS AND SUNGLASSES DONE. AND WEAR BROAD SPECTRUM SUNSCREEN THAT LEAD TO 30 SPF ON WHENEVER YOU GO OUTSIDE, EVEN ON A CLOUDY DAY. GOOD OLD SUNSCREEN AND ITS ABILITY TO PROTECT HARMFUL UV RAYS. OH, AND TWO MORE THINGS. AVOID TANNING BEDS. THEY’RE REALLY, REALLY BAD FOR YOU. AND TAKE YOUR SKIN OUT EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE. ONCE A MONTH IS ABOUT THE RIGHT TIMEFRAME. >> I SEE ANYTHING IN YOUR ROUTINE TO MAKE SURE CHECK IN WITH YOUR DERMATOLOGIST. >> OKAY. LET’S BE REAL. I’M NOT GOING TANNING ANYTIME SOON, BUT I AM OVERDUE IN SEEING A DERMATOLOGIST BECAUSE I HAD THIS FEAR SPOT. NEVER MIND THAT. LET’S TALK ABOUT SOME BEST PRACTICES WHEN IT COMES TO CHOOSING AND USING SUNSCREEN. OF COURSE, ALWAYS DON’T SUNSCREEN. MAKE SURE IT’S BROAD SPECTRUM WATER RESISTANT IF YOU CAN, AND AT LEAST SPF 30 OR YOU’RE NOT TRYING. I HAVE PLENTY OF THAT IN. >> BUT YOU REMEMBER TO REAPPLY EVERY 2 HOURS. I DO. I DO SEE EACH OTHER. >> BUT MAKE SURE YOU’RE AT LEAST AN OUNCE OF SUNSCREEN SO YOU HAVE ADEQUATE PROTECTION FROM THE SUN. >> THAT’S A GOOD REMINDER. I USE SUNBLOCK EVERY SINGLE DAY. AND IT’S STILL IMPORTANT FOR ME TO HEAR ALL THIS BY FOLLOWING THESE SIMPLE TIPS. YOUR SKIN. MY SKIN. I’LL SKIN CAN BE BETTER PROTECTED AND WE CAN REDUCE OUR RISK OF GETTING SKIN WHILE STILL HAVING SOME FUN IN THE SUN. THANK YOU. DERMATOLOGISTS SUNS OUT, GUNS OUT. DR. PATEL LOVING THE OUTFIT. AND NOW. I MEAN THE. IT’S REALLY. THIS IS EVERYTHING. I KIND OF WANT TO KEEP IT ON, BUT YOU PROBABLY KIND OF A WEIRD LOOK GIVEN THAT I’M INSIDE. BUT HEY, AND I LOOK, I WRITE MY HAIR FOR TV FOR THAT, FOR THE METHOD ACTING ALSO THE WAY I STOLE THAT LINE FROM WILL GANSS, WHO’S SITTING NEXT TO ME OFF CAMERA. >> WE WERE JUST VERY MUCH ADMIRING YOUR SUMMER GEAR. >> BUT LET’S TALK ABOUT SUNSCREEN, BECAUSE WE OFTEN HEAR WORDS LIKE SPF AND BRAGS SPECTRUM AND CHEMICAL AND MINERAL. AND, YOU KNOW, FOR THOSE OF US WHO ARE NOT EXPERTS HERE, IT CAN GET A LITTLE CONFUSING. SO WALK US THROUGH THIS. >> WHAT DO WE NEED TO KNOW AND WHY DOES IT ALL MATTER? YEAH, WORDS CAN BE CONFUSING. >> AND I’M ALWAYS GAME FOR A GOOD SCIENCE TERM. DECODER. SO LET’S GET WITH IT. THE FDA ACTUALLY REGULATES THE TERMS BROAD SPECTRUM AND SPF BROAD SPECTRUM, REFERRING TO THE ABILITY TO BLOCK BOTH UVA AND UVB RAYS. THINK A AGING B FOR BURNING. SPF IS YOUR SUN PROTECTION FACTOR, WHICH REFERS TO THE PERCENTAGE OF HARMFUL RAYS THAT WILL BE BLOCKED BY THAT SUNSCREEN, SPECIFICALLY UVB. SPF 30 IS GOING TO BLOCK ABOUT 97%. >> THAT IS THE MINIMUM YOU SHOULD GET. MINERAL SUNSCREENS REFER TO CREATING A PHYSICAL BARRIER. THINK ZINC OR TITANIUM DIOXIDE . THOSE ARE THE INGREDIENTS. CHEMICAL WORKS LIKE A SPONGE ABSORBING RAYS ON YOUR SKIN. >> WATER RESISTANT IS ALSO ANOTHER FDA REGULATED TERM, WHICH REFERS TO THE ABILITY FOR A SUNSCREEN TO STAY EFFECTIVE FOR 40 MINUTES AFTER UNDERWATER. AND A QUICK CHECKLIST OF WHAT TO DO. REMINDER, REMEMBER, PUT ON SUNSCREEN 20 MINUTES BEFORE YOU GO OUTSIDE. REAPPLY EVERY 2 HOURS. CHECK THE EXPIRATION DATE AND YOU WANT TO USE AT LEAST OUNCE OF SUNSCREEN. THAT’S ABOUT THE AMOUNT OF A SHOT GLASS. >> MOST RESPONSIBLE USE OF A SHOT GLASS EVER. WHAT ABOUT THE INGREDIENTS IN SUNSCREEN? BECAUSE IF YOU JUST GO SCROLLING SOCIAL MEDIA, IT CAN REALLY SCARE YOU AND PEOPLE MAKING YOU THINK THAT THE SUNSCREEN IS GOING TO KILL YOU, BUT YOU DON’T WANT THE SKIN CANCER TO KILL YOU. AND THEN IN THE END, IT CAN DRIVE YOU MAD AND PEOPLE START TO SCRAWLING. BUT REMEMBER, THESE INGREDIENTS ARE CLOSELY MONITORED, STUDIED. THERE’S ABOUT 16 APPROVED INGREDIENTS. THE TWO THAT ARE MOST COMMON THAT ARE DEEMED SAFE BY THE FDA AND THE AMERICAN ACADEMY OF DERMATOLOGY ARE ZINC AND TITANIUM DIOXIDE. AND IS KNOWN IS THE RISK OF SKIN CANCER. IF YOU DON’T PUT ON SUNSCREEN. NOW, PEOPLE HAVE SEEN HEADLIN ABOUT SUNSCREEN INGREDIENTS BEING ABSORBED INTO YOUR BLOOD, BUT THERE IS NO DEFINITIVE PROOF AT ALL THAT IT IS HARMFUL FOR HUMANS. >> I DO RESPECT PEOPLE, HOWEVER, ESPECIALLY ON SOCIAL MEDIA, WE’RE WORRIED ABOUT THE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS OF USING SUNSCREEN. SO SOME QUICK TIPS. EVEN THOUGH IT’S CONVENIENT, TRY TO AVOID USING SPRAY SUNSCREENS THAT AREN’T GREAT AND THEY ACTUALLY CAN GET INTO THE WATER SUPPLY. YOU WANT TO TRY TO USE A RECYCLED CONTAINER. THERE ARE SOME THAT COME IN CARDBOARD. ALSO, DO ME A FAVOR AND READ THE INGREDIENTS BECAUSE REEF SAFE IS NOT A REGULATED TERM. >> SO LOOK WHAT YOU’RE PUTTING ON YOUR SKIN. AND GUESS WHAT? THE MORE CLOTHING YOU’RE WEARING, LESS SUNSCREEN YOU ACTUALLY NEED TO USE. >> AND DR. PATEL, I’M OUT OF TIME, BUT I JUST GOT MY SKIN CHECK. HOW OFTEN SHOULD WE BE DOING THAT AT THE DERMATOLOGIST? YOU KNOW, AT THE DERMATOLOGIST, YOU WANT TO DO THAT REGULARLY? >> THERE IS NO SET TIME SCHEDULE, BUT TRY TO CHECK YOUR SKIN, HEAD TO TOE AFTER THE SHOWER, EVERYWHERE BEHIND YOUR EARS, YOUR YOUR NECK, YOUR BACK BETWEEN YOUR FINGERS AND TOES, BECAUSE SKIN CANCER IS THE MOST CANCER IN COMMON. CANCER. UNITED STATES, ONE IN FIVE ADULTS WILL DEVELOP IT IN THEIR LIFETIME. ABOUT 1.5 MILLION AMERICANS ARE LIVING WITH MELANOMA, AND IT IS EASY AS CHECKING YOUR SKIN OUT.

YOU’RE STREAMING ABC NEWS LIVE ,I’M JAIME SAITO TODAY ON ABC NEWS LIVE. FIRST WE BEGIN WITH THE NEW TWIST IN THE GEORGIA ELECTION INTERFERENCE CASE AGAINST FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP. >> AN APPEALS COURT IN GEORGIA HAS AGREED TO TAKE UP TRUMP’S APPEAL OF THE FANI WILLIS RULING, WHICH ALLOWED HER TO STAY ON THE CASE. THE MOVE NOT ONLY CALLS INTO QUESTION WILLIS’S ROLE IN THE CASE, BUT COULD ALSO SIGNIFICANTLY DELAY THE CASE WITH JUST SIX MONTHS UNTIL ELECTION DAY. MEANWHILE, THE JUDGE IN THE FEDERAL CLASSIFIED DOCUMENTS CASE AGAINST TRUMP HAS POSTPONED THAT TRIAL INDEFINITELY. AND IT ALL COMES A DAY AFTER EXPLOSIVE TESTIMONY FROM STORMY DANIELS AND TRUMP’S CRIMINAL HUSH MONEY TRIAL. ABC NEWS INVESTIGATIVE REPORTER LIBBY RUBIN JOINS ME NOW ALONG WITH ABC NEWS LEGAL CONTRIBUTOR KIM WEHLE. >> OLIVIA, WHAT HAPPENS NOW THAT THIS GEORGIA APPEALS AGREED TO TAKE UP THIS QUESTION OF WHETHER FANI WILLIS CAN STAY ON THE CASE? WELL, THEY’RE GOING TO NOW HEAR THIS APPEAL AND IT’S A PROCESS THAT COULD TAKE UP TO AS LONG AS SIX MONTHS. BUT THE QUESTION REALLY BECOMES ,DOES THE CASE PAUSE IN THAT TIME? SO ACCORDING TO THE LAW, IT WOULDN’T DO SO AUTOMATICALLY. THEY HAVE TO ASK FOR A STAY AND JUDGE SCOTT MCAFEE IN THE LOWER COURT HAS PREVIOUSLY SAID THAT HE IS VOWING TO MOVE FORWARD WITH THE CASE EVEN IF IT IS TAKEN UP ON APPEAL. >> BUT EXPERTS THAT WE’VE BEEN TALKING TO THIS MORNING ARE SAYING THAT THERE’S NO WAY THAT THE ISSUE THAT THE CASE CAN FORWARD WHEN THE ISSUE OF WHO THE PROSECUTOR IS GOING TO BE IS ON THE TABLE. SO IF YOU THINK ABOUT SIX MONTHS, IT TAKES YOU RIGHT UP TO THE ELECTION. THERE REALLY ANY WAY THAT THIS CASE IS GOING TO BE ABLE TO MOVE. EXPERTS ARE SAYING IT’S UNLIKELY AND IT IS THE RULING TODAY THAT IS COMING AS WELCOME NEWS TO ESSENTIALLY DEFENDANT IN THE CASE. I’VE SPOKEN TO MULTIPLE SOURCES DOWN THERE WHO ARE THAT THE APPEALS COURT HAS TAKEN IT UP AND MANY WERE SURPRISED, THOUGHT THAT THEY WEREN’T GOING TO DO SO. SO IT IS A BIG WIN FOR DONALD TRUMP TODAY. IT COMES OFF THE BIG WIN HE GOT IN THE FLORIDA CASE AND OF COURSE, LIKE YOU JUST MENTIONED, IT COMES OFF THE STORMY DANIELS TESTIMONY YESTERDAY. BEING IN THE COURTROOM FOR WAS A BRUTAL DAY FOR HIM. SO HE IS PROBABLY WAKING UP THIS MORNING MUCH HAPPIER THAN HE WENT TO BED LAST NIGHT. >> NOW, I WANT TO GET TO THE STORMY DANIELS TESTIMONY, BUT I ALSO WANT TO JUST GET A LITTLE FURTHER INTO THE CLASSIFIED DOCUMENTS CASE BECAUSE NOW THAT JUDGE IS POSTPONING THAT TRIAL INDEFINITELY, CITING A FEW PRETRIAL ISSUES. >> HOW SIGNIFICANT IS THAT? IT’S INCREDIBLY SIGNIFICANT. WE KNEW FOR SOME TIME NOW THAT THAT MAY DATE WAS NOT GOING TO HOLD. NO ONE THOUGHT IT WAS GOING TO HAPPEN. DONALD TRUMP IS LITERALLY SITTING IN ANOTHER COURTROOM IN NEW YORK WHILE THAT IS SUPPOSED TO BE GOING ON. SO IT WASN’T THAT THAT DATE WAS GOING TO HOLD. BUT THE FACT THAT DROPPED IT OFF OF THE CALENDAR INDEFINITELY, SHE DIDN’T IT SHE DIDN’T PICK ANOTHER DATE AND SHE SAID IT WAS GOING TO BE PENDING A. LOT OF OTHER, YOU KNOW, MOTIONS AND OTHER ISSUES THAT ARE GOING ON IN THE CASE. SO THE SORT OF CONSENSUS THERE IS THAT IS NOT GOING TO HAPPEN BEFORE THE ELECTION. THE CONSENSUS IN GEORGIA IS THAT IT’S VERY UNLIKELY THAT IT IS GOING TO HAPPEN FOR THE ELECTION OF COURSE. ANYTHING COULD HAPPEN. ANYTHING COULD CHANGE, AS WE’VE SEEN FROM WATCHING THESE CASES OVER THE PAST YEAR. THEY HAVE GONE IN DIFFERENT WAYS THAT NO ONE HAS EXPECTED. SO WE COULD BE SITTING HERE IN A FEW WEEKS. SURPRISED THAT SOMEHOW THEY ARE MOVING FORWARD. BUT SO FAR, DONALD TRUMP MAIN TACTIC OF TRYING TO DELAY THESE CASES AT WHATEVER COST HAS APPEARED TO BE WORKING. SO, KIM, THAT MEANS THE HUSH MONEY CASE COULD BE THE ONLY ONE THAT ACTUALLY GOES TO TRIAL BEFORE THE ELECTION. SO WHAT HAPPENS TO THESE OTHER CASES IF TRUMP GETS ELECTED? >> WELL, THE GEORGIA CASE DOES NOT GO AWAY BECAUSE IT’S A STATE PROSECUTION. SO AS PRESIDENT, HE COULD NOT STOP. AT THAT BEING SAID, IF HE WINS THIS APPEAL, THE WHO THE PROSECUTOR IS, THAT IS, IF THEY REVERSE THE LOWER COURT’S RULING AND SAY FANI WILLIS IS OUT, THE MECHANISM, PRETTY HARD FOR GETTING A REPLACEMENT IN GEORGIA. SO THAT IS PROBABLY THE ONLY WAY HE COULD STOP THAT CASE DEAD IN ITS TRACKS. WITH RESPECT TO THE TWO FEDERAL CASES BETWEEN THE SUPREME COURT TAKING CRIMINAL IMMUNITY CASE, WHICH IS INDEFINITELY DELAYING THE JANUARY PROSECUTION AND JUDGE CANON IN FLORIDA, SLOW WALKING THIS, FRANKLY, UNNECESSARILY. THIS THESE ARE THIS DOESN’T HAVE TO HAPPEN THIS WAY. A DIFFERENT JUDGE WOULD HAVE MOVED THAT CASE ALONG EXPEDITIOUSLY. AND MANY PEOPLE HAVE QUESTIONED HER NEUTRALITY AND HER JUDGMENT AND COMPETENCY. AND I IT’S GETTING MORE AND MORE LEGITIMATE TO QUESTION THAT. BUT — BUT BECAUSE OF THOSE FACTORS, IT’S HIGHLY ANYTHING OTHER THAN THE HUSH MONEY CASE IS GOING TO GO TO TRIAL. BUT I DO BELIEVE THAT WILL GO TO VERDICT BEFORE THE WHICH COULD BE SIGNIFICANT. >> OLIVIA MEANWHILE, IN THAT CASE, STORMY DANIELS IS EXPECTED BACK ON THE STAND TOMORROW. IT WAS A DRAMATIC DAY IN COURT YESTERDAY. SO WHAT ARE YOU WATCHING FOR AS SHE TESTIFIES AGAIN TOMORROW? WELL, WE’RE GOING TO BE LOOKING AT HOW TRUMP’S ATTORNEYS AGAIN GO AT HER ON CROSS-EXAMINATION YESTERDAY, SHE WAS ON CROSS. IT WAS HIGHLY COMBATIVE. THERE WAS THAT SORT OF INFAMOUS QUESTION FROM DONALD TRUMP’S ATTORNEYS, SUSAN NECKLACE SAYING YOU HATE DONALD TRUMP. AND SHE SAID YES. SO WHAT THE DEFENSE IS TRYING TO DO IS ESSENTIALLY PAINT HER AS SOMEONE WHO IS NOT CREDIBLE. THEY’RE TRYING TO FIND HOLES IN HER STORY AND ALSO SOMEONE THAT IS MOTIVATED BY MONEY. THEY HAVE REPEATEDLY SAID THAT SHE TRIED TO MAKE MONEY OFF HER STORY MULTIPLE TIMES. THERE WERE MAGAZINE INTERVIEWS THAT SHE SAT FOR, WHERE SHE WAS GOING TO BE PAID, AND THEY EVEN TRIED TO PAINT HER AS AN EXTORTIONIST, SOMEONE WAS TRYING TO SQUEEZE MONEY OUT OF DONALD TRUMP IN EXCHANGE FOR STORY. SO WE WILL SEE SORT OF WHAT OTHER DIRECTIONS THEY TRY TO HER IN ON CROSS-EXAMINATION. AND THEN SHE’S GOING TO BE HANDED BACK TO THE PROSECUTOR SO THEY CAN GET HER ON REDIRECT AGAIN. WILL GO BACK INTO SOME OF THOSE EXPLICIT DETAILS THAT THEY WERE TALKING ABOUT YESTERDAY THAT THE JUDGE WAS NOT PLEASED WITH. LIKELY NOT. SO IT’S LIKELY SHE HAS A GOOD AMOUNT OF TIME LEFT ON THE STAND. THE QUESTION REALLY IS, WHERE ELSE ARE THEY GOING TO TAKE HER? >> ALL RIGHT. OLIVIA RUBIN, KIM WEHLE, THANK YOU BOTH. U.S. OFFICIALS SAY THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION IS NOW DELAYING AMMUNITION SHIPMENTS TO ISRAEL. THIS COMES AS THE ADMINISTRATION HAS BEEN TRYING TO PRESSURE ISRAEL TO HOLD OFF ON A FULL SCALE INVASION OF RAFAH. BUT A SPOKESPERSON FOR THE ISRAELI DEFENSE FORCES SAY ITS PARTNERSHIP WITH AMERICA’S CENTRAL COMMAND REMAINS UNPRECEDENTED. LET’S BRING IN SENIOR WHITE HOUSE CORRESPONDENT SELINA WANG AND FOREIGN CORRESPONDENT MARCUS MOORE IN TEL AVIV. MORE ON THIS. SO, YOU KNOW, U.S. OFFICIALS SAYS THE WHITE HOUSE IS PAUSING OF SOM 3500 BOMBS TO ISRAEL OVER CONCERNS OF A RAFAH INCURSION. HOW BIG OF A DEAL IS THAT, ESPECIALLY GIVEN BIDEN’S EXPRESSION OF SUPPORT FOR ISRAEL? JUST YESTERDAY? YEAH. AND I MEAN, THIS IS A VERY BIG DEAL. IT IS A MAJOR POLICY SHIFT. IT’S THE FIRST TIME THAT WE KNOW OF THAT THE U.S. HAS DENIED ISRAEL ANY MILITARY AID SINCE THIS WAR BEGAN. AND WE’VE BEEN TRYING REPORT THIS STORY OUT FOR DAYS. AND ONLY VERY RECENTLY DID WE FINALLY GET CONFIRMATION FROM A SENIOR U.S. OFFICIAL THAT THE US DID, IN FACT, THE SHIPMENT OF SOME 3500 BOMBS OVER CONCERNS ABOUT HOW IT COULD BE USED IN RAFAH. REMEMBER, THAT’S WHERE MORE THAN 1 MILLION CIVILIANS HAVE BEEN SHELTERING. AND OFFICIALS SAY THEY’VE GOT ELSE TO GO. AND NOT ONLY ARE THEY DELAYING THIS SHIPMENT, BUT U.S. OFFICIAL TELLS US THAT THE ADMINISTRATION IS NOW LOOKING AT POTENTIALLY DELAYING OTHER WEAPONS TRANSFERS. NOW, JUST A FEW WEEKS AGO, PRESIDENT BIDEN HAD WARNED PRIME MINISTER NETANYAHU THAT IF ISRAEL DID NOT DO MORE PROTECT CIVILIANS IN GAZA, WELL, THE U.S. COULD CHANGE ITS POLICY. SO IT APPEARS THE PRESIDENT IS NOW MAKING GOOD ON THAT THREAT. BUT ALREADY THE PRESIDENT IS FACING BLOWBACK FROM MORE PROGRESSIVE DEMOCRATS WHO SAY DOESN’T GO FAR ENOUGH. AND THEN ON THE OTHER SIDE, YOU HAVE REPUBLICANS WHO SAY THIS UNDERMINES AMERICA’S COMMITMENT TO ISRAEL AND ITS SECURITY. MARCUS MEANWHILE, EMERGENCY WORKERS SAY AT LEAST 30 PEOPLE ARE DEAD IN RAFAH AS THE ISRAELI MILITARY CONTINUES TO BOMB THAT AREA. WHAT’S THE LATEST ON THAT? WELL, DIANA, IT’S A DIRE SITUATION THERE IN RAFAH. WE KNOW THAT THE ISRAELI OPERATION IS ONGOING. THERE HAVE BEEN, AS MENTIONED, DOZENS OF DEATHS AND MANY MORE INJURIES. AND SO AS THAT PART OF THIS CONTINUES TO DEVELOP, YOU HAVE SCORES OF PEOPLE WHO ARE TRYING TO FIND A SAFE PLACE TO GO. AND SO IN THE MIDST OF THE FIGHTING, YOU HAVE A NUMBER OF PEOPLE GOING TO A AN EXPANDED HUMANITARIAN ZONE, WHICH IS WHERE MANY PEOPLE WERE URGED TO GO AT THE START OF THIS OPERATION THAN 100,000 PEOPLE, IN FACT. AND THEY ARE DOING EVERYTHING THEY CAN TO GET OUT. WE TALKED TO ONE MAN WHO EVACUATED HIS FAMILY IN A IN A VAN AND THEY DROVE AS FAR AWAY AS THEY COULD AT THROUGH DEVASTATION TO GET TO A SAFE AREA. AND I AM I THEY HAVE HAD TO DO THIS NUMEROUS BECAUSE OF THE FIGHTING IN CENTRAL AND IN NORTHERN GAZA. AND SO ALL OF THAT CONTINUES TO DEVELOP AS AID GROUPS HAVE NOW CALLED ON ISRAEL TO STOP THE BOMBARDMENT BECAUSE OF THE HUMANITARIAN SITUATION THERE. >> SADLY, THE CEASE FIRE TALKS ARE ALSO UNDERWAY IN CAIRO. INTERNATIONAL PRESSURE IS GROWING FOR ISRAEL AND HAMAS TO REACH A DEAL. >> SO WHERE DO NEGOTIATIONS STAND RIGHT NOW? WELL, DIANE, THE U.S. HAS PARTNERS IN THE REGION IN REAL TIME. THEY ARE WORKING TO TRY AND SALVAGE THIS DEAL. NOW, THE WHITE IS REMAINING OPTIMISTIC THAT THEY CAN STILL REACH A DEAL HERE BECAUSE AT LEAST GOT ALL OF THE NEGOTIATORS COMING TO THE TABLE. BUT THE BIG QUESTION, OF COURSE, IS WHERE CAN THEY FIND ANY MIDDLE GROUND HERE? HAMAS WANTS A COMPLETE END TO FIGHTING WHERE IS THE U.S. AND ISRAELI SIDE HAVE BEEN PUSHING FOR THIS SIX WEEK PAUSE IN EXCHANGE FOR THE RELEASE OF HOSTAGES? AND MEANWHILE, THE ISRAELI SIDE IS SAYING THAT THERE ARE STILL MANY GAPS HERE AND STILL FAR APART ON THESE ISSUES. SO THE BIG QUESTION IS HOW CAN THEY BRIDGE GAPS? >> AND MARCUS, WHAT ARE YOU HEARING FROM ISRAELI OFFICIALS ON THAT? >> WELL, I JUST SPOKE TO AN ISRAELI OFFICIAL A SHORT TIME AGO TO GET AN UPDATE ON THE NEGOTIATIONS. AND HE TOLD US THAT THE ISRAELI DELEGATION THAT HAD BEEN MEETING IN CAIRO, THAT IT WAS ON ITS WAY BACK TO TEL AVIV AND UPDATE THE ISRAELI WAR CABINET WITHIN THE NEXT COUPLE OF HOURS. AND HE SAID THAT ISRAEL HAS TO DO EVERYTHING POSSIBLE TO MAKE THIS HAPPEN. BUT HE TOLD ME THERE HAS BEEN NO BREAKTHROUGH AT THIS POINT. AND HE ADDED THAT ISRAEL HAS IT HAS PROVEN THAT IT’S OPEN AND WILLING TO COMPROMISE. BUT THEY HAVE A SECURITY THAT THEY BELIEVE THEY MUST THAT MUST BE MET AS LONG ALONG WITH THEIR ABILITY TO CONTINUE FIGHTING HAMAS, THAT SELINA WANG MARCUS MOORE. >> THANK YOU. AND TICK IS SUING THE U.S. GOVERNMENT OVER A NEW LAW THAT COULD BAN THE APP NATIONWIDE. THE SOCIAL MEDIA COMPANY CLAIMS THE LAW IS UNCONSTITUTIONAL AND VIOLATES RIGHT TO FREE SPEECH. >> ABC’S JAY O’BRIEN HAS MORE ON THAT STORY. >> JAY THIS NEW LAW FORCES TIKTOK’S CHINESE PARENT COMPANY TO EITHER SELL THE PLATFORM OR FACE A TOTAL BAN IN THE U.S.. SO ON WHAT GROUNDS ARE THEY NOW SUING THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT? WELL, THEY’RE IS THAT THIS IS UNCONSTITUTIONAL FROM A FIRST AMENDMENT PERSPECTIVE, FROM A FREEDOM OF SPEECH PERSPECTIVE. THEY ALSO SAY THAT LAW WAS UNFAIRLY AIMED DIRECTLY AT TIKTOK AND ITS CHINESE PARENT COMPANY, BYTEDANCE. THE ARGUMENT THAT LAWMAKERS WHO WROTE THIS LEGISLATION SAY IS THAT THEY WANT BYTEDANCE BE FORCED TO SELL TIKTOK TO DIVEST FROM IT BECAUSE BYTEDANCE IS A CHINESE COMPANY AND THEY’RE WORRIED ABOUT CHINESE INFLUENCE ON BYTEDANCE THAT COULD BE EXERTED ON TIK TOK WHEN IT COMES TO DATA OR ALLEGED MISINFORMATION AND THINGS OF THAT NATURE. NOW, TIKTOK’S RESPONSE TO THAT IS A THEY BELIEVE IT’S UNCONSTITUTIONAL AND B, MORE SPECIFICALLY, THEY SAY I’LL READ DIRECTLY FROM THEIR LAWSUIT. THEY SAY THAT, QUOTE, THIS IS SO OBVIOUSLY UNCONSTITUTIONAL. THEY CALL THIS LAW PUNITIVE. THEY SAY IT’S DISCRIMINATORY. SO THEY HAVE NOW FILED THIS LEGAL ACTION AND IT’S GOING TO LIKELY DRAG THIS LAW. NOW INTO FEDERAL COURT. ALL RIGHT, JAY O’BRIEN THANK. >> AND NOW TO THAT MASSIVE TORNADO OUTBREAK AT LEAST 20 TORNADOES HAVE BEEN REPORTED ACROSS FIVE STATES. MICHIGAN IS UNDER A TORNADO EMERGENCY FOR THE FIRST TIME ON RECORD. >> ABC’S ALEX PRESHA IS IN HARD HIT PORTAGE, MICHIGAN WITH MORE. HI ALEX? >> HEY, DIANE. SO WE’RE ABOUT A HALF MILE FROM THAT FEDEX PLANT THAT WAS COMPLETELY DESTROYED. AND YOU’RE SEEING A SIMILAR OUTCOME IN THIS NEIGHBORHOOD. MANY THESE HOUSES DATE BACK TO THE FORTIES IN THE FIFTIES. AND YOU SEE THIS ONE RIGHT HERE BEHIND ME, THAT TREE COMPLETELY BASICALLY CAVING IN THE ROOF THERE. AND ALSO WITH THAT, YOU’RE SEEING THESE DOWNED POWER LINES. IT’S LIKE THIS ALL THE WAY DOWN THAT STREET. AND SO IT’S THE CLEANUP EFFORT. WE’VE SEEN NEIGHBORS WITH CHAINSAWS HELPING OTHER NEIGHBORS. WE’VE SEEN THE FIRE DEPARTMENT IN AND OUT HERE TRYING TO BREAK UP SOME OF THESE HUGE TREES HAVE FALLEN DOWN. BUT AGAIN, ONE OF THE BIG HINDRANCES HERE ARE THESE POWER LINES, SOME 20,000 PEOPLE WITHOUT POWER. BUT ALSO A HUGE ABOUT LIVE WIRES. AND SO CREWS HAVE BEEN COMING IN TRYING TO FIX THIS ISSUE BEFORE MORE ASSISTANCE CAN REALLY MOVE IN. DIANE. ALEX PRESHA IN PORTAGE, MICHIGAN. >> ALEX, THANK YOU. AND A NEW STORM IS TAKING FORM IN THE MIDWEST AND SOUTH TODAY. ABC NEWS METEOROLOGIST GRIFFIN IS TRACKING IT ALL FOR US. >> HI, MELISSA. HEY, DIANE. AND ME. JUST TELL YOU, THIS IS THE FOURTH MULTIDAY TORNADO OUTBREAK IN FOUR WEEKS. SO WE ARE REALLY IN THE HEART OF SEVERE WEATHER SEASON. AND IT’S NOT OVER YET. WE HAVE SEVERAL SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCHES IN EFFECT. A NEW ONE JUST GOT ISSUED HERE FOR KNOXVILLE, TENNESSEE, TO ASHEVILLE, NORTH CAROLINA, INTO CHARLOTTE. THERE WAS A TORNADO WARNING NEAR THE KNOXVILLE, TENNESSEE, AREA MOMENTS AGO. SO WATCHING SEVERE WEATHER THERE. AND OF COURSE, OVER IN MISSOURI, THE SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH IN EFFECT THERE. BUT IN BETWEEN BOTH OF THESE WATCHES, WE HAVE A FLOOD WATCH. >> SO I WANT TO MAKE SURE EVERYONE IS AWARE THAT NOT ONLY TORNADOES, LARGE HAIL AND DAMAGING WINDS, A THREAT, BUT FLASH FLOODING IS ALSO A THREAT WITH THESE STORMS AS WELL. SO LET ME TIME IT ALL OUT FOR YOU. YOU CAN SEE WHY FLOODING IS A THREAT. LOOK AT HOW HEAVY THE RAIN IS ON THIS FUTURE CAST HERE MOVING INTO TENNESSEE AND KENTUCKY LATER THIS EVENING, STRETCHING FROM ST. LOUIS ALL THE WAY DOWN TO DALLAS. >> AND THAT’S WHY WE HAVE SUCH A LARGE AREA UNDER SEVERE THREAT TODAY. LOOK AT THIS RED AREA. THAT’S THE LEVEL FOUR OUT OF FIVE, THE SECOND HIGHEST THREAT FOR SEVERE STORMS. THIS IS FOR GIANT HAIL AND SIGNIFICANT WIND DAMAGE. GUSTS COULD REACH UP TO 80 MILES PER HOUR OR HIGHER. BUT THE ENHANCED REGION ENORMOUS STRETCHING FROM JUST EAST OF DALLAS ALL THE WAY TO LOUISVILLE, SOMERSET, KENTUCKY, ST. LOUIS, SOME OF THESE SAME AREAS ALREADY SAW SEVERE WEATHER JUST YESTERDAY. SO THEY ARE STILL IN CLEANUP MODE AND WE’LL DEAL WITH IT YET AGAIN TODAY. >> AND THIS NEW SYSTEM WILL AGAIN CROSS EAST, MAKE ITS WAY INTO PARTS OF THE EAST COAST BY TOMORROW AFTERNOON. SO YOU’RE LOOKING AT D.C. DOWN THROUGH RALEIGH, ALL THE WAY DOWN THE GULF COAST, EVEN INTO DALLAS YET AGAIN. COULD SEE MORE SEVERE WEATHER AS WE HEAD INTO THURSDAY.

AND AS ONE OF SARA’S FRIENDS SAYING THAT SARA HAD JUST ARRIVED AT A RESTAURANT AND COLLAPSED. >> SARA HAD A HEART RHYTHM DISORDER CALLED LONG ACUTE SYNDROME. >> SHE HAD BEEN DIAGNOSED YEARS BEFORE, BUT IT TOOK DAYS BEFORE HER PARENTS COULD FIGURE OUT WHAT THEY BELIEVE CAUSED THE SUDDEN CARDIAC. >> HER ROOMMATE TOLD US THAT SHE HAD HAD A DRINK FROM PANERA, CHARGED A LEMONADE DRINK. THE REASON WHY THE ROOMMATE BROUGHT IT UP TO US WAS THAT SHE HAD KNOWN ABOUT SOME OF THE DANGERS IN THESE EXCESSIVELY CAFFEINATED ENERGY DRINKS. >> NOW, THE KATZ’S ARE SUING PANERA FOR WRONGFUL DEATH NEGLIGENCE AND SEVERAL COUNTS, CLAIMING THAT THE COMPANY FAILED TO PROPERLY WARN OF THEIR DANGEROUS PRODUCT. IN PANERA’S ANSWER TO THE CANCER SUIT, THE COMPANY DENIES ANY LIABILITY. >> A LARGE AMOUNT OF CAFFEINE IN ADDITION TO OTHER STIMULANTS TO THE HEART IN A SMALL WINDOW OF TIME COULD HAVE AN EFFECT ON SOMEONE WITH AN UNDERLYING GENETIC DISORDER. >> ACCORDING TO THE LAWSUIT, THE CHARGED SIPS CAN CONTAIN MORE CAFFEINE THAN SOME ENERGY DRINKS. >> I’VE SEEN A LOT OF PATIENTS, NOT JUST WITH GENETIC CARDIAC ISSUES, COME IN WITH SYMPTOMS AND ABNORMAL HEART RHYTHMS AFTER CONSUMING ENERGY DRINKS. >> AND IN A STATEMENT TO ABC NEWS, THE COMPANY SAID THEY PLAN TO INTRODUCE NEW BEVERAGES IN THE NEXT TWO WEEKS. AFTER EXPRESSING SYMPATHY FOR THE TRAGIC OF SARA KATZ, PANERA HAD PREVIOUSLY SAID IT STOOD BY THE SAFETY OF ITS BEVERAGES AND IT HAD ENHANCED THEIR CAFFEINE DISCLOSURES FOR THE DRINKS. DIANE.

EVERY NIGHT AND ABC’S "WORLD NEWS TONIGHT" WITH DAVID MUIR IS AMERICA’S MOST WATCHED NEWSCAST. THIS IS NOT ABOUT PARENTS WHO JUST LET THEIR KID WATCH VIOLENT MOVIES PLAYED VIOLENT VIDEO GAMES. THIS IS ABOUT PARENTS WHO HAVE COLLECTED THEIR SON, IGNORED HIS CRIES FOR HELP, THEN BOUGHT HIM A GUN IN THE PARENTS IN AMERICA TO BE CHARGED IN A SCHOOL SHOOTING. PURCHASED THAT GUN AND BRAGGED ABOUT IT. YOU GET TO WALK AWAY FROM THAT. THAT’S A COMMON SENSE. >> THE PARENTS. THE CRUMBLING TRIALS. THE OPPOSITE OF LOVE IS NOT HATE. IT’S JUST BEING IGNORED. ONLY ON HULU. DO SO MANY PEOPLE START THEIR DAY HERE. FROM ABC NEWS. THIS IS "START HERE". TO BE IN THE KNOW AND GET A DIFFERENT TAKE ON THE DAY’S TOP STORIES. A LOT OF NEWS TODAY SO LET’S GET INTO IT. LISTEN NOW TO THE DAILY NEWS PODCAST HONORED WITH FOUR EDWARD R MURROW AWARDS AND SEE WHY THE NEW YORK TIMES CALLS IT A NEWS PODCAST WORTH LISTENING TO START HERE. ABC NEWS MAKE IT YOUR FIRST LISTEN. >> NOW THAT’S A PART OF THE STORY THAT YOU DIDN’T SEE COMING. WHEREVER YOU GET YOUR PODCASTS, START HERE. I’M BACK UP AND INSIDE A MILITARY BASE IN SOUTHERN ISRAEL AND THIS IS ONE OF THOSE IRANIAN BALLISTIC MISSILES. WHEREVER THE NEWS IS, WE’LL TAKE YOU THERE. >> YOU’RE SCREENING ABC NEWS LIVE. WELCOME BACK. MIUI IS FACING A MAJOR HOUSING CRISIS NINE MONTHS AFTER DEVASTATING WILDFIRES. THE COMMUNITY SEEKING REBUILD, BUT CONSTRUCTION COMPANIES ARE STILL FAR FROM BEING APPROVED, LEAVING MOST FAMILIES STILL WITHOUT A HOME. ABC’S MIREYA VILLARREAL IS US NOW FROM MAUI WITH MORE. MARIA, WHAT’S LATEST HERE? GOOD MORNING, DIANA. THIS IS THE EXACT PROBLEM. YOU KIND OF HIT THE BUTTON ON THE HEAD RIGHT THERE IS THE IDEA THAT A LOT OF DEBRIS HAS BEEN CLEARED, BUT NOT OF IT. SO. CONSTRUCTION PERMITS ARE FAR FROM BEING APPROVED. AND REALLY THAT IS CREATING, AS YOU MENTIONED, THIS HOUSING CRISIS, PERMANENT HOUSING CRISIS. PEOPLE OBVIOUSLY, A LOT OF THEM HAVE A PLACE TO LIVE. BUT IS NOT THEIR PERMANENT PLACE TO LIVE. AND ON TOP OF THAT, YOU KNOW, THEY’RE TALKING ABOUT BASIC SHELTER NEEDS, SOMETHING THAT WE ALL. THAT IS CREATING A LOT OF STRESS AND ANXIETY ON THESE FAMILIES AND LEADING TO MENTAL HEALTH ISSUES. NOW, WHAT WE DIDN’T REALIZE AND WE NOW DO IS THAT MOST OF THE FACILITIES AND MEDICAL TREATMENT FACILITIES HERE IN LAHAINA WERE BURNED IN THE FIRE, LEAVING ONLY ONE STATE RUN FACILITY. SO COMMUNITY BASED ORGANIZATIONS LIKE MAUI BEHAVIORAL HEALTH RESOURCES ARE STEPPING. AND THEIR CEO, ISLAND NATIVE NICOLE LUANA, SAYS THEY, WERE ALREADY DEALING WITH A RISE IN MENTAL HEALTH AND SUBSTANCE ABUSE CASES HERE ON THE ISLAND. AND NOW THE FIRE HAS EXACERBATED THAT. >> IT’S REALLY HARD TO BE WELL ON MAUI RIGHT NOW. HOW IMPORTANT IS IT TO REALLY TAKE A LOOK AT THE COMMUNITY AND, THEIR NEEDS, AND BE OPEN TO A LOT OF TYPES OF, QUOTE UNQUOTE? >> WE ARE NOT WE DON’T ALL HEAL IN THE SAME WAY. IT’S REALLY IMPORTANT TO BE OPEN MINDED AND TO BE PERSON CENTERED, COMMUNITY CENTERED. MARIA SO WHAT CAN SORRY, GO AHEAD. SORRY ABOUT THAT. LOVE TV. I WAS JUST GOING TO SAY, YOU KNOW, SO AS OF RIGHT NOW, YOU KNOW, WE VISITED WITH A LOT OF THESE PEOPLE AND THERE ARE A LOT OF DIFFERENT TREATMENTS THAT WE ARE SEEING HERE ON THE ISLAND TO TRY AND ADDRESS THOSE ISSUES. AND WHAT’S HAPPENING WITH THESE BUILDING PERMITS, MARIA, WHAT’S HOLDING UP THESE APPROVALS? YOU KNOW, THAT’S A VERY GOOD QUESTION. I MEAN, WE KEEP ASKING THAT SAME QUESTION. I MEAN, A LOT OF IT HAS TO DO WITH THE DEBRIS CLEANUP, RIGHT? THAT’S THE ROOT CAUSE AS OF RIGHT NOW. YOU KNOW, SEVERAL OF THE PROPERTIES THAT WE’VE SEEN, THEY’VE BEEN ABLE TO CLEAR THE DEBRIS, BUT NOT EVERYTHING. AND SO RIGHT NOW, A LOT OF THE LOCAL OFFICIALS ARE SAYING WE CANNOT ALLOW YOU TO START BUILDING YET IF MOST OF THE PROPERTIES IN YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD HAVEN’T BEEN CLEARED. I MEAN, THE GOOD NEWS THAT WE JUST HEARD RECENTLY IS THAT THERE IS A NEW COUNTY, A FACILITY THAT IS GOING TO BE BUILT HERE THAT WILL HELP RUN THE PERMITS. BUT AGAIN, IT COULD TAKE MONTHS BEFORE WE ACTUALLY SEE DIRT BEING MOVED AND CONSTRUCTION ACTUALLY HAPPENING. AND IN THE MEANTIME, THERE’S A CLEAR NEED FOR THESE MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES. HELP IS BEING PROVIDED. AND WHAT MORE NEEDS TO BE DONE ? WELL, DIANE, AS OF RIGHT NOW, WE KNOW THAT MILLIONS OF DOLLARS HAVE BEEN SENT HERE BY THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT FOR EXCLUSIVELY MENTAL HEALTH. AND SO A LOT OF THESE ORGANIZATIONS ARE TAKING ADVANTAGE OF THAT. BUT ONE OF THE WAYS THAT WE’VE NOTICED THEY’VE DONE THIS IS BY GOING INTO THE COMMUNITY AND DOING OUTREACH WITH THE ACTUAL PEOPLE THAT LIVE IN LAHAINA. I MEAN, THIS IS A VERY TIGHT KNIT COMMUNITY. SO THE IDEA OF THEM GETTING HELP BY JUST ANYONE AND GO INTO ANY ORGANIZATION DOESN’T SIT WELL WITH THEM. SO A LOT OF THESE PEOPLE WHO HAVE BEEN AFFECTED, ACTUALLY PART OF THE OUTREACH PROGRAMS HERE, THEY GO INTO THE COMMUNITY THEY ENCOURAGE THEM TO COME AND GET HELP. SERVICES COULD LOOK LIKE FROM, YOU KNOW, A BIG PACK OF WATER FOR THE DAY TO ACTUALLY THERAPY TO EVEN COURSE, YOU KNOW, THERAPY AS WELL. SO THERE IS DEFINITELY A LOT OF AVENUES HERE. IT’S JUST A MATTER OF GETTING THE RIGHT SERVICES THEY NEED IN THE MOMENT. >> ALL RIGHT, MIREYA VILLARREAL ,MAUI MARIE, THANK YOU. >> AND THANK YOU FOR STREAMING US. I’M DIANE MACEDO.

ABC NEWS AMERICA’S NUMBER ONE NEWS SOURCE. HI, I’M DIANE MACEDO TODAY ON ABC NEWS LIVE. FIRST, 20 REPORTED TORNADOES HIT FIVE STATES WITH 57 MILLION PEOPLE NOW IN THE STORM ZONE. MICHIGAN DECLARED ITS FIRST EVER TORNADO EMERGENCY. WHICH AREAS ARE IN THE PATH OF THE NEW THREAT. AND WHO AT THE HIGHEST RISK? STORMY DANIELS ON THE STAND, THE ADULT FILM STAR AT THE CENTER OF FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP’S HUSH MONEY TRIAL GIVES DETAILS ABOUT ALLEGED SEXUAL ENCOUNTER. WHAT SHE SAID THAT HAD THE DEFENSE CALLING FOR A MISTRIAL. TIKTOK FIGHTS BACK. THE SOCIAL MEDIA PLATFORM IS SUING THE U.S. GOVERNMENT OVER A PROPOSED BAN BY THE COMPANY CLAIMS THE NEW LAW IS UNCONSTITUTIONAL. AND ARE WE IN FOR AN AIR JOB OVERHAUL? SEE THE ABC NEWS EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW WITH THE CEOS OF MICROSOFT, LINKEDIN, WHAT THEY’RE SAYING ABOUT MAJOR CHANGES AND THE TOOLS THAT COULD PROTECT YOUR CAREER. BUT WE BEGIN WITH THAT MASSIVE OUTBREAK. AT LEAST 20 TORNADOES HAVE BEEN REPORTED ACROSS FIVE STATES. MICHIGAN IS UNDER A TORNADO EMERGENCY, THE FIRST TIME ON RECORD. ABC’S ALEX PRESHA IS IN HARD HIT PORTAGE, MICHIGAN WITH MORE. ALEX, TALK ME THROUGH THE YOU’RE SEEING THERE TODAY DIANE SO WE’RE ABOUT A HALF MILE AWAY FROM THAT FEDEX FACILITY THAT WE SHOWED DURING THE 9:00 HOUR. THIS IS A NEIGHBORHOOD WHERE MANY OF THE HOUSES DATE BACK TO THE FORTIES AND FIFTIES. AND YOU LOOK. YOU CAN JUST SEE DOWN HERE DOWNED POWER LINES, DOWNED TREES, TREES ON HOMES. IT’S LIKE THIS ALL THE WAY DOWN THIS STREET. AND SO TODAY, WHEN WE TALK ABOUT THIS CLEANUP, A LOT OF FIREFIGHTERS COMING THROUGH ,ASSESSING THE DAMAGE. OBVIOUSLY, POWER’S OUT IN THIS IN THIS NEIGHBORHOOD SO WE CAN HEAR THE GENERATORS IN THE BACKGROUND. BUT A LOT OF NEIGHBORS, NEIGHBORS, THE CLEANUP EFFORTS THAT WE TALKED ABOUT HAVE REALLY STARTED TO BEGIN. AND ACTUALLY, I MET THE GRANDSON OF THE WHO LIVES HERE. THIS IS HERE IN TAGGERT. AND YOU’RE DOING HEY, IT’S NICE TO HERE. IT’S BEEN A LITTLE BIT CRAZY TO COME DOWN HERE AND TRAVEL AN HOUR AND SEE THE DIFFERENCE OF THE DESTRUCTION AND THE CLOSURE. I GOT INTO MY HOMETOWN AND GETTING TO MY GRANDMOTHER’S HOUSE AND IT JUST BROUGHT A TEARS TO MY EYES BECAUSE THESE HOMES WERE BUILT A LONG TIME AGO BY HAND. AND TO COME THROUGH HERE AND SEE ALL THESE TREES THAT ARE TWO OR 300 YEARS OLD OR 100 YEARS OLD, RIPPED APART, RIPPED ON THE GROUND IS SOMETHING ASTRONOMICAL. WHEN YOU SEE WHAT HAPPENED TO SOME OF THESE HOMES, YOUR GRANDMOTHER WAS HOME DURING THE STORM. ACTUALLY INSIDE WITH A HANDICAPPED PERSON AND SHE’S ELDERLY HERSELF AND NO BASEMENT IN THE HOUSE. THE GARAGE WAS COMING OFF THE FOUNDATION, RIPPED THE INSULATION OUT OF THE HOUSE, RIPPED THE DOOR CLEAN OFF THE SIDE OF THE BUILDING. THE POOR NEIGHBOR’S DOOR WERE HOME, TOO. SO THANK GOD EVERYBODY’S OKAY. SO WE’RE IN THE CLEANUP STAGES NOW AND IT’S GOING TO BE A BIG LONG. ABSOLUTELY. ABSOLUTELY. THANK YOU FOR THAT, TARYN. YOU ARE VERY WELCOME. THANK YOU GUYS FOR COMING DOWN. OF COURSE. OF COURSE. AND DIANE, I MEAN, THAT’S THAT’S ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE’VE BEEN HEARING REPEATEDLY, IS THAT, LOOK, THERE IS A LOT OF DESTRUCTION WITH THIS STORM, BUT, YOU KNOW, WHEN YOU WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT THE DESTRUCTION COMPARED TO THE NUMBER OF INJURIES HERE, THIS COULD HAVE BEEN SIGNIFICANTLY WORSE. YEAH, DEFINITELY A BLESSING THERE, ALEX. BUT THE CLEANUP, I IMAGINE IS GOING TO BE QUITE AN UNDERTAKING. HOW DO THEY PLAN TO TAKE THAT ON? YOU KNOW, AND SO ONE OF THE BIG THINGS RIGHT NOW, YOU SEE THESE DOWNED POWER LINES, RIGHT? AND SO THAT IS ACTUALLY BEEN KIND OF AN INHIBITOR FOR FOR FOR CREWS KIND OF GETTING IN AND SOME OF THE CLEANUP PROCESS. SO, I MEAN, A LOT OF POWER COMPANIES AND FIRST RESPONDERS HAVE BEEN GOING THROUGH IN TRYING TO TAKE CARE OF THESE DOWNED POWER LINES FIRST AND THEN SOME OF THAT ADDITIONAL AID IS FUNNELING IN. AND WE’LL SEE THAT THROUGHOUT THE REST OF THE DAY. BUT, YOU KNOW, THIS THIS IS THE BIG NIGHTMARE IMMEDIATELY FOR FOR A LOT OF THESE NEIGHBORHOODS REALLY STARTING TO KIND OF PICK UP THE PIECES. ALL RIGHT. ALEX PRESHA IN PORTAGE, MICHIGAN, THANK. >> AND A NEW STORM IS TAKING FORM IN THE MIDWEST AND TODAY. ABC NEWS METEOROLOGIST MELISSA GRIFFIN IS TRACKING IT ALL FOR US. >> HI, MELISSA. AND DIANE, TAKE A LOOK AT HOW MANY STORM WE’VE ALREADY HAD FROM THIS FIRST ROUND OF SEVERE WEATHER. MORE THAN 40 TORNADOES REPORTED, 20 OF THEM ALREADY CONFIRMED JUST IN THE TWO DAYS . AND WE HAVE MORE SEVERE WEATHER ON THE WAY. IT DOESN’T END HERE. ALREADY, A SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH HAS BEEN ISSUED FOR PARTS OF MISSOURI. THAT INCLUDES CITY DOWN TO SPRINGFIELD. BUT THIS IS JUST THE BEGINNING OF THE SEVERE WEATHER WE’RE GOING TO BE TRACKING TODAY. >> SO LET’S TIME IT ALL OUT. THAT CLUSTER CONTINUES TO EAST AND THEN YOU CAN SEE BY LATER THIS EVENING WE HAVE THIS LINE, A VERY STRONG STORM STRETCHING FROM ST. LOUIS ALL THE WAY DOWN TO DALLAS. >> ANOTHER LINE HERE ACROSS, THE TENNESSEE VALLEY FROM MEMPHIS TO NASHVILLE INTO LOUISVILLE, KENTUCKY AS WELL. >> SO THIS IS THE AREA THAT WE’RE REALLY GOING TO BE WATCHING THROUGHOUT THE EVENING ,INTO THE OVERNIGHT HOURS. YET AGAIN, IT WILL BE THE THIRD DAY IN A ROW WITH THIS SEVERE WEATHER OUTBREAK. NOW, OF COURSE, IN THE ENHANCED AREA, THAT’S PRETTY LARGE. >> IT STRETCHES FROM TEXAS ALL THE WAY TO THE EAST COAST. BUT IN THIS ENHANCED AREAS WHERE I EXPECT THE POSSIBILITY FOR, AGAIN MORE STRONG TORNADOES POSSIBLE. >> LOUISVILLE DOWN THROUGH MEMPHIS, TEXARKANA, JUST EAST OF DALLAS, YOU’RE ALL INCLUDED IN THAT. THIS LEVEL, THREE OUT OF FIVE, THAT’S WHERE WE COULD SEE THE TORNADOES. >> BUT IT’S THE LEVEL FOUR OUT OF FIVE HERE IN THE RED AREA THAT WE SEE GIANT HAIL AND SIGNIFICANT WIND GUSTS. >> SO IT’S NOT JUST THE TORNADOES THAT WE’RE WORRIED ABOUT, BUT IT’S ALSO THE FACT THAT WE COULD SEE WIDESPREAD SEVERE WEATHER IN THIS AREA. AND AGAIN TOMORROW, DIANE, MORE SEVERE PUSHES TO THE GULF COAST, STRETCHING ALL THE WAY THIS TIME INTO THE MID-ATLANTIC DIANE. >> ALL RIGHT. ABC NEWS METEOROLOGIST MELISSA GRIFFIN. YOU. FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP IS BACK IN FLORIDA TODAY AFTER A DRAMATIC DAY IN HIS CRIMINAL HUSH MONEY TRIAL. STORMY DANIELS TOOK THE STAND, COMING FACE TO FACE WITH THE FORMER PRESIDENT FOR THE FIRST TIME IN MORE THAN A DECADE. THE FORMER ADULT FILM STAR GAVE ,A DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF HER ALLEGED ENCOUNTER WITH TRUMP AND THE PAYMENT SILENCE HER BEFORE THE 2016 ELECTION. TRUMP HAS DENIED WRONGDOING. ABC NEWS SENIOR INVESTIGATIVE CORRESPONDENT AARON KATERSKY JOINS NOW FROM OUTSIDE THAT COURTHOUSE ALONG WITH ABC NEWS LEGAL CONTRIBUTOR CON NOWADAY. ERIN, HOW CRITICAL WAS STORMY DANIELS TESTIMONY TO THE PROSECUTION’S CASE BEFORE THE JUDGE? HE ALLOWED IT BECAUSE HE SAID THE JURY NEEDED TO UNDERSTAND THE BASIS FOR THE $130,000 HUSH PAYMENT THAT STORMY DANIELS RECEIVED 12 DAYS BEFORE THE 2016 ELECTION. BUT HER TESTIMONY, IT’S HARD TO HOW HOW IT IT IS CRUCIAL TO THE CASE ABOUT FALSIFIED DOCUMENTS. I MEAN, SHE SPENT A LOT OF TIME TALKING ABOUT HOW HER COMPANY WAS THE ONLY ONE TO MANDATE ABOUT HER UPBRINGING, LOUISIANA. WE LEARNED A LOT OF DETAILS ABOUT THE HOTEL SUITE. SHE SAID SHE AND DONALD TRUMP HAD SEX FROM THE BLACK AND WHITE TILE FLOOR TO THE PARK, PLUS AN OLD SPICE IN HIS TOILETRY BAG TO SILK OR SATIN PAJAMAS SHE SAID HE WAS WEARING TO THE POWER IMBALANCE THAT SHE SAID EXISTED BETWEEN THEM. SHE HAD NEVER SPOKEN LIKE THAT BEFORE. THE JUDGE EVEN SAID SOME OF THOSE DETAILS WERE PROBABLY BETTER LEFT UNSAID. THE DEFENSE OBJECTED, ASKING FOR A. IT’S IMPOSSIBLE TO KNOW HOW THE TOOK ALL OF THIS IN DIANE, OF COURSE, BUT THEY WERE WRAPPED AND MANY OF THEM WERE TAKING FURIOUS NOTES WHERE TRUMP HIMSELF WAS JUST THE JUDGE AT ONE POINT TELLING HIS LAWYER HE HEARD TRUMP CURSING DURING DANIELS’S TESTIMONY. >> NOW, AFTER STORMI’S INITIAL TESTIMONY, WHEN THEY CAME BACK IN FROM LUNCH OR A RECESS, THE DEFENSE ACTUALLY ASKED FOR A MISTRIAL SAYING HER TESTIMONY WAS PREJUDICIAL AND IRRELEVANT TO THE CASE. THE JUDGE DISAGREED, BUT HE DID SAY SOME OF THE DETAILS WERE UNNECESSARY AND THEN SEEMED TO BLAME THE DEFENSE FOR NOT OBJECTING MORE HER TESTIMONY. >> WHAT DID YOU MAKE OF THAT? I THINK, ONE, THE JUDGE WAS MAKING THE RIGHT CALL THAT THERE’S NOT GOING TO BE A MISTRIAL ABOUT. AND FRANKLY, THE FACT THAT THE JUDGE SAYING THAT IT WAS ON THE DEFENSE’S WATCH TO MAKE OBJECTIONS, HE JUST POINTING OUT THIS IS AN ADVERSARIAL SYSTEM. AND FRANKLY, IF THEY WANTED TO OBJECT, THEY COULD HAVE AND HE COULD HAVE RULED ON THAT STUFF AS IT WAS COMING IN. ULTIMATELY, YOU KNOW, BARRON’S QUESTION, YOU KNOW WHAT THE JURY THOUGHT OF ALL THESE LURID DETAILS. AND MY VIEW IS ULTIMATELY THOSE DETAILS MATTERED TO JURORS. AND I THINK THE PROSECUTION, WHAT THEY WERE TRYING TO DO WAS IN PROVIDING THOSE DETAILS OR ELICITING THOSE DETAILS FROM THIS. DANIELS TO SHOW THAT THIS THING REALLY HAPPENED. >> AARON, WE ALSO HAVE SOME BREAKING NEWS. A GEORGIA APPEALS COURT HAS NOW AGREED TO TAKE UP THE TRUMP TEAM’S APPEAL OF THE FANI WILLIS DISQUALIFICATION RULING. NOW, A LOWER COURT ALREADY RULED THAT WILLIS CAN REMAIN ON THAT CASE. SO WHAT HAPPENS THERE NOW? SO THE TRUMP TEAM TO APPEAL THE DECISION THEY WOULD LIKE FANI WILLIS KICKED OFF THE CASE ENTIRELY. THE JUDGE HAS RULED THAT FANI WILLIS COULD STAY AS AS HER FORMER PARAMOUR, NATHAN WADE, WAS REMOVED FROM THE CASE TO AVOID EVEN THE APPEARANCE OF ANY KIND OF A CONFLICT. SO HE’S OFF THE CASE. FANI WILLIS IS ON THE COURT, HAS AGREED TO TAKE UP THE MATTER. THEY HAVEN’T AGREED TO ANY DECISION, BUT THEY’VE AT LEAST AGREED TO TAKE IT UP, WHICH IS YET ONE MORE DELAY FOR A CASE THAT STILL DOES NOT HAVE A DATE TO START TRIAL. >> SO WHAT DOES THIS DO? THESE DELAYS DO, GIVEN WE’RE SIX MONTHS AWAY FROM THE ELECTION NOW. I THINK THAT’S A GREAT QUESTION. AND ULTIMATELY WHAT IT DOES IS IT GUARANTEES THAT THE ONLY CASE THAT’S GOING TO TRIAL OUT OF THESE THREE CRIMINAL CASES, THE DOCUMENTS CASE, THE FAMILY WILLIS CASE, THE SIX CASE IS ULTIMATELY CASE THAT’S NOW BEFORE THE JUDGE IN AND JURY IN NEW YORK STATE. >> AND ERIN, LOOKING BACK AT THE CRIMINAL HUSH MONEY TRIAL NOW, STORMY WAS ONE OF THE KEY WITNESSES IN THIS CASE. HER AND MICHAEL COHEN ARE ARGUABLY THE TWO BIG NAMES THAT WE’RE LOOKING TO HEAR FROM. SO NOW THAT SHE HAD THIS TESTIMONY, WHAT DO YOU EXPECT TO HAPPEN NEXT? >> SHE’S GOING TO BE BACK ON THURSDAY FOR MORE CROSS-EXAMINATION AND. ALREADY SHE HAS CONCEDED SHE HATES DONALD TRUMP AND SHE WANTS TO SEE HIM HELD ACCOUNTABLE. THE DEFENSE ATTORNEY SAYS A NECKLACE ASKED HER, YOU WANT TO SEE HIM GO TO JAIL? AND SHE SAID, I WANT TO SEE HIM HELD ACCOUNTABLE. AND IF THAT MEANS JAIL AND THEN SO BE IT. BUT SHE IS ALSO TRIED TO RESIST THE IDEA, THOUGH, THAT SHE WAS OUT TO EXTORT HIM. REMEMBER, DONALD TRUMP DENIES A ENCOUNTER EVER HAPPENED. THE DEFENSE HAS SUGGESTED STORMY DANIELS HAS BEEN MAKING MONEY DINING OUT ON THIS STORY FOR FOR A DECADE, AND IT AMOUNTS TO EXTORTION OF PRESIDENT TRUMP. SHE HAS RESISTED THAT. BUT I EXPECT THAT’S THE TACK THE DEFENSE IS GOING TO RESUME WHEN SHE GETS BACK ON THE WITNESS STAND ON THURSDAY. AND, DIANE, THE TESTIMONY THAT WILL NEVER BE MENTIONED, IT IMMEDIATELY PRECEDED STORMY DANIELS AND WAS OVERSHADOWED MAY EVEN BEEN MORE TO THE POINT, TO THE CRUX OF THE CASE. AND THAT IS A BOOK EDITOR READING EXCERPTS FROM TRUMP’S OWN BOOKS, TALKING ABOUT ALWAYS READING THE INVOICES AND SIGNING CHECKS BY HAND SO YOU CAN BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE. THOSE ARE THE KINDS OF DETAILS THAT PROSECUTORS HOPE STICK WITH THE JURY TO. >> ALL RIGHT. AARON KATERSKY CON NOWADAY, THANK YOU BOTH. AND TIC TAC IS SUING THE U.S. GOVERNMENT OVER A NEW LAW THAT COULD BAN THE APP NATIONWIDE. THE SOCIAL MEDIA COMPANY CLAIMS THE LAW IS UNCONSTITUTIONAL AND VIOLATES AMERICANS RIGHTS TO FREE SPEECH. ABC’S RACHEL SCOTT AND ALEXIS CHRISTOFOROUS HAS MORE ON THAT. RACHEL THIS NEW LAW FORCES TIKTOK’S CHINESE PARENT COMPANY TO EITHER SELL THE PLATFORM OR A TOTAL BAN IN THE U.S. SO ON WHAT GROUNDS ARE THEY NOW SUING THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT? YEAH. LOOK, TIKTOK AND ITS PARENT COMPANY BYTEDANCE ARE MAKING IT CLEAR THAT THEY WILL BE TAKING ON THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT AND. THEY OUTLINE IN THIS LAWSUIT THAT NOT ONLY ARE THEY NOT WILLING TO TRY AND FIND A NEW PARENT COMPANY FOR TIKTOK, THEY SIMPLY JUST WILL NOT DO SO. SO ONE OF THE MAJOR ARGUMENTS THAT TIK TOK OUTLINES IN THIS LAWSUIT IS THAT A POSSIBLE BAN INFRINGES ON THE RIGHTS OF 170 MILLION AMERICANS WHO USE THE APP RIGHT HERE IN THE UNITED STATES. TIKTOK ALSO ARGUES THAT THE CHINESE PARENT COMPANY, BYTEDANCE CANNOT GET PERMISSION FROM THE CHINESE GOVERNMENT NECESSARILY TO SELL A CERTAIN FEATURE OF THE APP THAT POWERS TIKTOK HERE IN THE UNITED. THEY ALSO MAKE THE CASE HERE THAT IT WOULD TAKE YEARS TO FIND A WHOLE NEW SET OF ENGINEERS TO SORT OF POWER THE PLATFORM HERE IN THE UNITED STATES. AND SO ULTIMATELY, IT WOULD LEAD TO A SHUT DOWN OF TIKTOK BY THE END OF JANUARY OF NEXT YEAR. AND SO THEY ARE TAKING ON THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT AND THEY SAY THAT THEY WILL CHALLENGE THIS ALL THE WAY THROUGH THE COURTS. >> ALEXIS WE’VE HEARD POTENTIAL BUYERS ARE LINING UP TO BUY TIKTOK. SO WHAT’S THE PARENT COMPANY BYTEDANCE SAYING ABOUT A POSSIBLE SALE? ARE THEY OPEN TO IT? THEY HAVE MADE VERY CLEAR THEY ARE NOT GOING TO SELL THIS COMPANY AND THEY ACTUALLY SAY IT’S NOT FEASIBLE. TO RACHEL’S POINT, THEY’RE SAYING THEY WOULD HAVE TO TRANSFER MILLIONS OF LINES OF SOURCE CODE IS THE LIFEBLOOD OF TIK TOK TO THE U.S. THEN ENGINEERS HERE WOULD HAVE TO COME UP TO SPEED WITH THAT SOURCE CODE OR THAT ALGORITHM THAT MAKES THE COMPANY SO VALUABLE. THEY SAY THAT COULD TAKE YEARS TO HAVE HAPPEN. AND WHAT A LOT OF PEOPLE MIGHT NOT REALIZE IS BYTEDANCE ACTUALLY MANY DIFFERENT COMPANIES AND TIK TOK IS JUST ONE OF THEM. IT DOES NOT MEAN A LOT IN TERMS OF REVENUE TO BYTEDANCE SO IN MANY WAYS THE COMPANY WOULD RATHER SEE IT BE SHUT DOWN AND BANNED IN THE U.S. AND ACTUALLY SELL IT TO AN AMERICAN BASED COMPANY. SO WHAT DOES THIS MEAN FOR USERS THEN? >> WELL, WE DON’T KNOW UNTIL 19TH. PEOPLE ARE LINING UP, AS YOU SAID, TO TRY AND BUY IT, INCLUDING DEEP POCKETED COMPANIES LIKE MICROSOFT AND ORACLE, SO THAT KEVIN O’LEARY ON THIS SHOW TALKING ABOUT HOW HE WANTS TO BUY IT. YEAH. COME TOGETHER WITH OTHER RICH HAVE A YOU KNOW, A CONSORTIUM OF PEOPLE BUY THIS COMPANY. >> YOU’RE LOOKING AT POSSIBLY BEING WORTH $100 BILLION WITH THE ALGORITHM IF THEY WERE TO SELL IT WITHOUT THAT. SOME ARE SAYING IT COULD BE 30 OR $40 BILLION. REMEMBER, SIX OUT OF EVERY TEN AMERICANS UNDER THE AGE OF 30 USES TIKTOK. THIS A VERY VALUABLE COMPANY. >> SO, RACHEL, HOW ARE LAWMAKERS RESPONDING, THE LAWSUIT? WELL, FOR THE MOST PART, LAWMAKERS ARE PRETTY UNITED ON THIS. YOU HAD THIS BIPARTISAN BILL THAT WAS PASSED IN BOTH THE HOUSE AND THE SENATE THAT MADE ITS WAY TO THE PRESIDENT’S DESK. AND HE ULTIMATELY IT AND THEY WARNED OF THE NATIONAL SECURITY RISKS HERE. THEY SAY THAT USING TIKTOK, THAT THE CHINESE PARENT COMPANY, BYTEDANCE AND EVEN THE CHINESE GOVERNMENT COULD THEN HAVE ACCESS TO YOUR BROWSING HISTORY, EVEN YOUR LOCATION, AS WELL AS YOUR DATA. NOW, TIKTOK DOES DENY ALLEGATIONS. ONE THING THAT IS ALSO NOTABLE IN THIS LAWSUIT, TIKTOK POINTS OUT THAT EVEN THOUGH THE PRESIDENT SIGNED THAT BILL THAT COULD LEAD A POSSIBLE BAN ON TIK TOK HERE IN THE UNITED STATES, THE CAMPAIGN HAS A TIK TOK AND HAS CONTINUED TO USE TIKTOK EVEN AFTER THE PRESIDENT SIGNED THAT BILL INTO LAW AND. SO THEY ARGUE THE USE OF TIK TOK BY THE PRESIDENT’S OWN CAMPAIGN FOR 2024 AND EVEN OTHER MEMBERS OF CONGRESS COMPLETELY UNDERMINE THEIR ARGUMENTS THAT THIS IS SOMEHOW A NATIONAL SECURITY THREAT, THAT THEY’RE PUTTING DATA AND PRIVACY AT RISK. THIS IS SOMETHING I ASKED THE VICE PRESIDENT ABOUT JUST A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO WHEN I INTERVIEWED HER, AND SHE SAID THAT THEY DON’T WANT A BAN AT THIS POINT. THEY ARE WORRIED, OBVIOUSLY, ABOUT THE PARENT COMPANY OF TIK TOK, BUT THEY’RE NOT GOING TO COMMENT ON ONGOING LITIGATION DIANE. >> ALL RIGHT. ALEXIS CHRISTOFOROUS RACHEL SCOTT, THANK YOU BOTH. COMING UP, AN ABC NEWS EXCLUSIVE WITH THE CEOS OF MICROSOFT AND LINKEDIN.

AMERICA’S NUMBER ONE STREAMING NEWS REPORTING THE GULF COAST OF FLORIDA COVERING HURRICANE IDALIA. I’M IKE EJIOCHI. WHEREVER THE STORY IS, WE’LL TAKE YOU THERE. YOU’RE SEEING ABC NEWS LIVE. I’M GOING TO SAY, TOO, LET’S GET RIGHT TO OUR TOP STORY. AID IS BEING LOADED ONTO A SHIP IN CYPRUS RIGHT NOW. THAT WILL BE THE FIRST TO USE A PIER BUILT BY THE U.S. IN GAZA. THIS AS SECRETARY LLOYD AUSTIN CONFIRMS THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION IS DELAYING A SHIPMENT OF BOMBS TO ISRAEL. THE ADMINISTRATION HAS BEEN TRYING TO PRESSURE ISRAEL TO HOLD OFF ON A FULL SCALE INVASION OF RAFAH. LET’S BRING SENIOR WHITE HOUSE CORRESPONDENT SELINA WANG AND FOREIGN CORRESPONDENT MARCUS MOORE IN TEL AVIV ISRAEL FOR MORE ON THIS. >> SELINA, HOW BIG OF A DEAL IS IT THAT THE WHITE HOUSE IS NOW PAUSING THIS SHIPMENT OF SOME 3500 BOMBS TO ISRAEL OVER CONCERNS ABOUT A RAFAH INVASION? YEAH, DIANE IS A VERY BIG DEAL. IT IS A MAJOR POLICY SHIFT. IT’S THE FIRST TIME WE KNOW OF THAT. THE U.S. HAS DENIED ISRAEL ANY MILITARY AID, AND IT’S ANOTHER SIGN OF THE GROWING RIFT BETWEEN THE U.S. AND ISRAEL. AND IT MAKES VERY CLEAR TO THE ISRAELIS THAT THE US BELIEVES THAT THEY’RE NECESSARILY TAKING IS LISTENING TO ALL OF THEIR ADVICE. NOW, AS YOU SAY THIS IS THE DELAY FROM LAST WEEK OF A WEAPONS TRANSFER OF SOME 3500 BOMBS OVER CONCERNS THAT IT COULD BE USED IN RAFAH. REMEMBER, THIS IS WHERE MORE THAN 1 MILLION CIVILIANS ARE SHELTERING AND THEY’VE REALLY GOT NOWHERE ELSE TO GO. AND THE ADMINISTRATION OFFICIAL ALSO TELLING US THAT THEY ARE NOW REVIEWING POTENTIAL DELAYS OF OTHER WEAPONS SHIPMENTS TO ISRAEL. THAT WAS SEVERAL WEEKS AGO WN PRESIDENT BIDEN HAD A PHONE CALL WITH NETANYAHU, WHEN HE WARNED THAT IF ISRAEL DOESN’T DO MORE TO PROTECT CIVILIANS IN GAZA, WELL ,THE U.S. COULD CHANGE ITS POLICY. NOW IT APPEARS THE U.S. IS MAKING GOOD ON THAT THREAT. BUT THE PRESIDENT ALREADY FACING BLOWBACK FROM REPUBLICANS, SAY THAT THIS UNDERMINES AMERICA’S COMMITMENT TO ISRAEL SECURITY. AND THEN ON THE OTHER HAND, YOU HAVE PROGRESSIVE DEMOCRATS WHO SAY THIS DOESN’T GO NEARLY FAR ENOUGH, GIVEN THE DEATH AND DESTRUCTION THAT WE’VE SEEN IN GAZA. >> SO, MARCUS, WHAT’S ISRAEL SAYING ABOUT THIS? WELL, DIANE, I THINK IT’S CLEAR THAT THE US IS PUTTING PRESSURE ON ISRAEL. AND I WAS ON THE PHONE WITH A SENIOR ISRAELI OFFICIAL A SHORT TIME AGO AND HE SAID THAT THEY ARE FEELING THE U.S. PRESSURE IN FACT THAT EVERY STEP THEY TAKE IN GAZA, THEY ARE FEELING PRESSURE FROM FROM THE U.S. BUT HE ALSO TOLD US ABOUT THE NEGOTIATIONS AND THE LATEST ON TO REACH A CEASEFIRE. HE SAID THAT THE ISRAELI DELEGATION HAD BEEN MEETING IN CAIRO, BUT IT’S ON ITS WAY BACK TO TEL AVIV. THEY ARE EXPECTED TO UPDATE THE ISRAELI WAR CABINET THIS EVENING WITH WHAT THEY HAVE TALKED ABOUT AND PERHAPS WHETHER OR NOT THERE’S BEEN ANY ANY PROGRESS THERE, HE SAID THAT ISRAEL HAS TO DO EVERYTHING POSSIBLE TO MAKE A DEAL HAPPEN. BUT HE TOLD ME THAT THERE HAS NOT BEEN A BREAKTHROUGH THIS POINT. HE DID ADD, THOUGH, THAT ISRAEL HAS PROVEN, HE SAID, THAT THEY ARE AND WILLING TO COMPROMISE, BUT THAT THEY DO HAVE SECURITY DEMANDS THAT THEY BELIEVE MUST BE MET, INCLUDING THE ABILITY TO CONTINUE FIGHTING HAMAS. SO WHAT KIND OF AN IMPACT, MARCUS, COULD THIS NEW POWER HAVE ON GETTING AID INTO GAZA? >> YEAH, I MEAN, THERE’S BEEN A LOT HAPPENING HERE, A LOT OF MOVING PARTS, INCLUDING THE EFFORT TO REOPEN SOME OF THE BORDER CROSSINGS IN GAZA AS WELL AS ESTABLISHING A PIER THAT IS STILL BEING BUILT. BUT IT WILL HAVE A SIGNIFICANT IMPACT ON THE HUMANITARIAN SITUATION THERE. BECAUSE, DIANE, AS YOU KNOW, EVEN BEFORE THE OCTOBER 7TH ATTACKS AND THE WAR THAT HAS FOLLOWED THE PEOPLE, THE MILLIONS OF PALESTINIANS THERE, MANY OF THEM VERY HEAVILY ON AID FROM OUTSIDE ORGANIZATIONS. AND SO THERE WAS ALREADY A DIRE SITUATION UNFOLDING. AND THEN THIS WAR HAS ONLY ONLY MADE IT WORSE. AND SO WE’VE HEARD FROM DIFFERENT AID ORGANIZATIONS, AS WELL AS THE U.S. GOVERNMENT URGING, ISRAEL, TO HELP FACILITATE THAT AID GETTING IN. SO THE FACT THAT THE COUNCIL ON BORDER CROSSING IS REOPENING, THAT WILL HAVE A MAJOR IMPACT, DIANE, ON THE FAMILIES THERE HAVE BEEN SUFFERING IN THE MIDST OF THIS CRISIS. >> ALL RIGHT. SELINA WANG MARCUS MOORE THANK YOU BOTH. THE NEW TWIST IN THE GEORGIA ELECTION INTERFERENCE CASE AGAINST FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP . AN APPEALS COURT IN GEORGIA HAS AGREED TO TAKE UP TRUMP’S APPEAL OF THE FANI WILLIS DISQUALIFICATION RULING, WHICH ALLOWED HER TO STAY THE CASE. THE MOVE NOT ONLY CALLS INTO QUESTION WILLIS’S ROLE THE CASE ,BUT COULD ALSO SIGNIFICANTLY DELAY THE CASE WITH JUST SIX MONTHS UNTIL ELECTION DAY. MEANWHILE, THE JUDGE IN THE FEDERAL CLASSIFIED CASE AGAINST TRUMP HAS POSTPONED THAT TRIAL INDEFINITELY. AND IT ALL COMES A DAY AFTER EXPLOSIVE TESTIMONY FROM STORMY DANIELS AND TRUMP’S CRIMINAL HUSH MONEY TRIAL. ABC NEWS INVESTIGATIVE REPORTER OLIVIA JOINS ME NOW ALONG WITH ABC NEWS LEGAL CONTRIBUTOR KIM WEHLE OLIVIA. WHAT HAPPENS NOW THAT THIS GEORGIA APPEALS COURT AGREED TO TAKE UP THIS QUESTION OF WHETHER FANI WILLIS CAN STAY THE CASE? >> WELL, THEY’RE GOING TO NOW HEAR THIS APPEAL, AND IT’S A PROCESS THAT COULD TAKE UP TO AS LONG AS SIX MONTHS. BUT THE QUESTION REALLY BECOMES ,DOES THE CASE PAUSE IN THAT TIME? SO ACCORDING TO THE LAW, IT WOULDN’T SO AUTOMATICALLY. THEY HAVE TO ASK FOR A STAY. JUDGE SCOTT MCAFEE IN THE LOWER COURT HAS PREVIOUSLY SAID THAT IS SORT OF VOWING TO MOVE FORWARD WITH THE CASE EVEN IF IT IS TAKEN ON APPEAL. BUT EXPERTS THAT WE’VE BEEN TALKING TO THIS MORNING ARE SAYING THAT THERE’S REALLY NO WAY THAT THE ISSUE THAT THE CASE CAN MOVE FORWARD WHEN THE ISSUE OF WHO THE PROSECUTOR IS GOING TO BE IS ON THE TABLE. SO IF YOU THINK ABOUT SIX MONTHS, IT TAKES YOU RIGHT UP TO THE IS THERE REALLY ANY WAY THAT THIS CASE IS GOING TO BE TO MOVE FORWARD? EXPERTS ARE SAYING IT’S UNLIKELY AND IT IS THE RULING TODAY THAT IS COMING AS WELCOME NEWS TO EVERY DEFENDANT IN THE CASE. I’VE SPOKEN TO MULTIPLE SOURCES DOWN THERE WHO ARE OVERJOYED THAT THE APPEALS COURT HAS TAKEN IT UP AND MANY WERE MANY THOUGHT THAT THEY WEREN’T GOING TO DO SO. SO IT IS A BIG FOR DONALD TRUMP TODAY. IT COMES OFF THE BIG WIN HE GOT IN THE FLORIDA CASE. AND OF COURSE, LIKE YOU JUST MENTIONED, IT COMES OFF THE STORMY DANIELS TESTIMONY YESTERDAY, WHICH BEING IN THE COURTROOM FOR WAS A BRUTAL DAY FOR HIM. SO HE IS PROBABLY WAKING UP THIS MORNING MUCH HAPPIER. >> HE WENT TO BED LAST NIGHT. NOW I WANT TO GET TO THE STORMY DANIELS TESTIMONY. I ALSO WANT TO JUST GET A LITTLE FURTHER INTO THE CLASSIFIED DOCUMENTS CASE, BECAUSE NOW THAT JUDGE IS POSTPONING THAT TRIAL INDEFINITELY, CITING FEW PRETRIAL ISSUES. HOW SIGNIFICANT IS THAT? IT’S INCREDIBLY SIGNIFICANT. WE KNEW FOR SOME TIME NOW THAT THAT MAY DATE WAS NOT GOING TO HOLD. NO ONE THOUGHT IT WAS GOING TO HAPPEN. DONALD TRUMP IS LITERALLY SITTING IN ANOTHER COURTROOM IN NEW YORK WHILE THAT IS SUPPOSED TO BE GOING ON. SO IT WASN’T THAT THAT DATE WAS GOING TO HOLD. BUT THE FACT THAT SHE DROPPED IT OFF OF THE CALENDAR INDEFINITELY, SHE DIDN’T SLIDE IT. SHE DIDN’T ANOTHER DATE AND SHE SAID IT WAS GOING TO BE PENDING. A LOT OF OTHER, YOU KNOW MOTIONS AND OTHER ISSUES THAT ARE GOING ON IN CASE. SO THE SORT OF CONSENSUS THERE IS THAT IS NOT GOING TO HAPPEN BEFORE THE ELECTION. THE CONSENSUS IN GEORGIA IS THAT IT’S VERY UNLIKELY THAT IT IS GOING TO HAPPEN FOR THE ELECTION, OF COURSE. ANYTHING COULD HAPPEN. ANYTHING COULD CHANGE, AS WE’VE SEEN FROM WATCHING THESE CASES OVER THE PAST. THEY HAVE GONE IN DIFFERENT WAYS THAT NO ONE HAS EXPECTED. SO WE COULD BE SITTING HERE IN A FEW WEEKS SURPRISED THAT SOMEHOW THEY ARE MOVING FORWARD. BUT SO FAR, DONALD TRUMP’S MAIN TACTIC OF TRYING TO DELAY THESE CASES AT WHATEVER COST HAS APPEARED TO BE WORKING. SO, KIM, THAT MEANS THE HUSH MONEY CASE COULD BE THE ONLY ONE THAT ACTUALLY GOES TO TRIAL BEFORE THE ELECTION. SO WHAT HAPPENS THESE OTHER CASES IF TRUMP GETS ELECTED? WELL, THE GEORGIA CASE DOES NOT GO AWAY BECAUSE IT’S A STATE PROSECUTION. SO AS PRESIDENT, HE COULD NOT STOP AT THAT BEING SAID, IF HE WINS THIS APPEAL OF THE WHO, THE PROSECUTOR IS, THAT IS, IF THEY REVERSE THE LOWER COURT’S RULING AND SAY FANI WILLIS IS OUT. THE MECHANISM IS PRETTY HARD FOR GETTING A REPLACEMENT IN GEORGIA. SO THAT ACTUALLY IS PROBABLY ONLY WAY HE COULD STOP THAT CASE DEAD IN ITS TRACKS. WITH RESPECT TO THE TWO FEDERAL CASES BETWEEN THE SUPREME COURT TAKING THAT CRIMINAL IMMUNITY CASE, WHICH IS INDEFINITELY DELAYING THE JANUARY SIX PROSECUTION AND JUDGE CANON IN FLORIDA, SLOW WALKING THIS FRANKLY, UNNECESSARILY THIS THESE ARE THIS DOESN’T HAVE TO HAPPEN THIS WAY. A DIFFERENT JUDGE WOULD IF MOVE THAT CASE ALONG EXPEDITIOUSLY. AND MANY PEOPLE HAVE QUESTIONED HER NEUTRALITY AND HER JUDGMENT AND COMPETENCY. AND I THINK IT’S GETTING MORE AND MORE LEGITIMATE TO QUESTION THAT. BUT — BUT BECAUSE OF THOSE FACTORS, IT’S HIGHLY UNLIKELY ANYTHING OTHER THAN THE HUSH MONEY CASE IS GOING TO GO TO TRIAL. BUT I DO BELIEVE THAT WILL GO TO VERDICT BEFORE, THE ELECTION, WHICH COULD BE SIGNIFICANT. >> OLIVIA, IN THAT CASE, STORMY DANIELS IS EXPECTED BACK ON THE STAND TOMORROW. IT WAS A DRAMATIC DAY IN COURT YESTERDAY. SO WHAT ARE YOU WATCHING FOR AS SHE TESTIFIES AGAIN TOMORROW? WELL, WE’RE GOING TO BE LOOKING AT HOW TRUMP’S ATTORNEYS AGAIN GO AT HER ON CROSS-EXAMINATION YESTERDAY WHEN SHE WAS ON CROSS. IT WAS HIGHLY COMBATIVE. THERE WAS THAT OF INFAMOUS QUESTION FROM DONALD TRUMP’S ATTORNEYS, SUSAN NECKLACE SAYING YOU HATE DONALD TRUMP. RIGHT? AND SHE SAID, YES. SO WHAT THE DEFENSE IS TRYING TO DO IS ESSENTIALLY PAINT HER AS SOMEONE WHO IS NOT CREDIBLE. THEY’RE TRYING TO FIND HOLES IN HER STORY AND ALSO SOMEONE THAT IS MOTIVATED BY MONEY. >> THEY HAVE REPEATEDLY SAID THAT SHE TRIED TO MAKE MONEY OFF HER STORY TIMES. THERE WERE MAGAZINE INTERVIEWS THAT SHE SAT FOR WHERE SHE WAS GOING TO BE PAID, AND THEY EVEN TRIED TO PAINT HER AS AN EXTORTIONIST, SOMEONE THAT WAS TRYING TO SQUEEZE MONEY OUT OF DONALD TRUMP. IN EXCHANGE FOR HER STORY. SO WE WILL SEE SORT OF WHAT OTHER DIRECTIONS THEY TO TAKE HER IN ON CROSS-EXAMINATION. AND THEN SHE’S GOING TO BE HANDED BACK OVER TO THE PROSECUTOR SO THEY CAN GET HER ON REDIRECT AGAIN. WILL THEY GO BACK INTO SOME OF THOSE EXPLICIT DETAILS THAT THEY WERE TALKING ABOUT YESTERDAY THAT THE JUDGE WAS NOT PLEASED WITH? LIKELY NOT. SO IT’S LIKELY THAT SHE HAS A GOOD AMOUNT OF TIME LEFT ON THE STAND. >> THE QUESTION REALLY IS WHERE ELSE ARE THEY GOING TO TAKE HER? ALL RIGHT. OLIVIA RUBIN, KIM WEHLE, THANK YOU BOTH. AND TICK TOCK IS THE U.S. GOVERNMENT OVER A NEW LAW THAT COULD BAN THE APP NATIONWIDE? A SOCIAL MEDIA COMPANY CLAIMS THE LAW IS UNCONSTITUTIONAL AND VIOLATES AMERICAN’S RIGHT TO FREE SPEECH. ABC’S JAY O’BRIEN HAS MORE ON STORY. JAY THIS NEW LAW FORCES TIKTOK’S CHINESE PARENT COMPANY EITHER SELL THE PLATFORM OR FACE A TOTAL BAN IN THE U.S.. SO ON WHAT GROUNDS ARE THEY NOW SUING THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT? WELL, ARGUMENT IS THAT THIS IS UNCONSTITUTIONAL. FROM A FIRST AMENDMENT PERSPECTIVE, FROM A FREEDOM OF SPEECH PERSPECTIVE. THEY ALSO SAY THAT THIS LAW WAS UNFAIRLY AIMED DIRECTLY TIKTOK AND ITS CHINESE PARENT COMPANY, BYTEDANCE. THE ARGUMENT THAT THE LAWMAKERS WHO WROTE THIS LEGISLATION SAY, IS THAT THEY WANT BYTEDANCE TO BE FORCED TO SELL TIKTOK TO DIVEST FROM IT BECAUSE BYTEDANCE’S IS A CHINESE COMPANY AND THEY’RE WORRIED ABOUT CHINESE INFLUENCE ON BYTEDANCE THAT COULD BE EXERTED ON TIK TOK WHEN IT COMES TO DATA OR ALLEGED MISINFORMATION AND THINGS OF THAT NATURE. NOW, TIKTOK’S RESPONSE TO THAT IS A, THEY BELIEVE IT’S UNCONSTITUTIONAL AND B, MORE SPECIFICALLY, THEY SAY I’LL READ DIRECTLY FROM THEIR LAWSUIT. THEY SAY THAT QUOTE, THIS IS SO OBVIOUSLY UNCONSTITUTIONAL. THEY CALL THIS LAW PUNITIVE. THEY SAY IT’S DISCRIMINATORY. SO THEY HAVE NOW FILED THIS LEGAL ACTION AND IT’S GOING TO LIKELY DRAG THIS LAW NOW INTO COURT. ALL RIGHT, JAY O’BRIEN, THANK YOU. >> AND NOW TO THAT MASSIVE TORNADO OUTBREAK. AT LEAST 20 TORNADOES HAVE BEEN REPORTED ACROSS FIVE STATES. MICHIGAN IS UNDER A TORNADO EMERGENCY FOR THE FIRST TIME ON RECORD. ABC’S ALEX PRESHA IS IN HARD HIT PORTAGE, MICHIGAN WITH MORE. >> HI, ALEX. DIANE. SO WE’RE ABOUT A HALF MILE FROM THAT FEDEX PLANT WAS COMPLETELY DESTROYED. AND YOU’RE SEEING A SIMILAR IN THIS NEIGHBORHOOD. MANY OF THESE HOUSES DATE BACK TO THE FORTIES IN FIFTIES. AND YOU SEE THIS ONE RIGHT HERE BEHIND ME. THAT TREE COMPLETELY BASICALLY CAVING IN THE ROOF THERE. AND ALSO WITH THAT YOU’RE SEEING THESE DOWNED POWER LINES, IT’S LIKE THIS ALL THE DOWN THAT STREET. AND SO NOW IT’S THE CLEANUP EFFORT. WE’VE SEEN NEIGHBORS WITH CHAINSAWS HELPING OTHER NEIGHBORS, SEEN THE FIRE DEPARTMENT IN AND OUT HERE TRYING TO BREAK UP SOME OF THESE HUGE TREES THAT HAVE FALLEN DOWN. BUT AGAIN, ONE OF THE BIG HINDRANCES HERE ARE THESE POWER LINES, 20,000 PEOPLE WITHOUT POWER. BUT ALSO A HUGE ABOUT LIVE WIRES. AND SO CREWS HAVE BEEN COMING IN TRYING TO FIX THIS ISSUE BEFORE ASSISTANCE CAN REALLY MOVE IN. DIANE ALEX PRESHA IN PORTAGE, MICHIGAN. ALEX, THANK YOU. AND A NEW STORM IS TAKING FORM THE MIDWEST AND SOUTH TODAY. ABC NEWS METEOROLOGIST MELISSA GRIFFIN IS TRACKING IT ALL FOR US. HI, MELISSA. HEY, DIANE. AND LET ME JUST TELL YOU, THIS IS FOURTH MULTIDAY TORNADO OUTBREAK IN JUST FOUR WEEKS. SO WE ARE REALLY IN THE HEART OF SEVERE WEATHER SEASON AND IT’S NOT OVER YET. WE HAVE SEVERAL SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCHES IN EFFECT. A NEW ONE JUST GOT ISSUED HERE FOR KNOXVILLE TO ASHEVILLE, NORTH CAROLINA, INTO CHARLOTTE. THERE WAS A TORNADO WARNING NEAR THE KNOXVILLE, TENNESSEE, AREA JUST MOMENTS AGO. SO WATCHING WEATHER THERE. AND OF COURSE, OVER IN MISSOURI, THE SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH IN EFFECT THERE. >> BUT IN BETWEEN BOTH OF THESE WATCHES, WE HAVE A FLOOD WATCH. SO I WANT TO MAKE EVERYONE IS AWARE THAT NOT ONLY IS TORNADOES, LARGE HAIL AND DAMAGING WINDS A THREAT, BUT FLASH FLOODING IS ALSO A THREAT WITH THESE STORMS AS WELL. SO LET ME IT ALL OUT FOR YOU. YOU CAN SEE WHY FLOODING IS A THREAT. LOOK AT HOW HEAVY RAIN IS ON THIS HUGE FORECAST HERE. MOVING INTO TENNESSEE AND KENTUCKY LATER THIS EVENING, STRETCHING FROM ST. LOUIS ALL THE WAY DOWN TO DALLAS. >> AND THAT’S WHY WE HAVE SUCH A LARGE AREA UNDER SEVERE THREAT TODAY. LOOK AT THIS RED AREA. THAT’S THE LEVEL FOUR OUT OF FIVE. THE SECOND HIGHEST THREAT FOR SEVERE STORMS. THIS IS FOR GIANT HAIL. >> SIGNIFICANT WIND DAMAGE GUSTS COULD REACH UP TO 80 MILES PER HOUR HIGHER, BUT THE ENHANCED REGION IS ENORMOUS, STRETCHING FROM JUST OF DALLAS ALL THE WAY TO LOUISVILLE, SOMERSET, KENTUCKY, ST. LOUIS. SOME OF THESE SAME AREAS ALREADY SAW SEVERE WEATHER JUST YESTERDAY. SO THEY ARE STILL IN CLEANUP MODE AND WILL DEAL WITH IT YET AGAIN TODAY.

AMERICA THIS MORNING, AMERICA’S NUMBER ONE. >> EARLY MORNING NEWS ON ABC NEWS LIVE REPORTING FROM OKLAHOMA FOLLOWING THE HOARDS OF TORNADOES THAT DESTROYED HOMES. I’M MELISSA BLOCK. ON WHEREVER THE STORY IS. >> WE’LL TAKE YOU THERE. YOU’RE STREAMING ABC NEWS LIVE . WELCOME BACK. MAUI IS FACING A MAJOR HOUSING CRISIS. NINE MONTHS AFTER DEVASTATING WILDFIRES. >> THE COMMUNITY SEEKING REBUILD, BUT CONSTRUCTION PERMITS ARE STILL FAR FROM BEING APPROVED, LEAVING MOST FAMILIES STILL WITHOUT A HOME. ABC’S MIREYA VILLARREAL IS JOINING US NOW FROM MAUI WITH MORE. MARIA, WHAT’S THE LATEST? GOOD MORNING, DIANA. THIS IS THE EXACT PROBLEM. YOU KIND OF HIT THE BUTTON ON THE HEAD RIGHT THERE IS THE IDEA THAT A LOT OF DEBRIS HAS BEEN CLEARED. BUT NOT ALL OF IT. SO CONSTRUCTION PERMITS ARE FAR FROM BEING APPROVED. AND REALLY THAT IS CREATING, AS YOU MENTIONED, THIS HOUSING CRISIS, PERMANENT HOUSING CRISIS. PEOPLE OBVIOUSLY, A LOT OF THEM HAVE A PLACE TO LIVE, BUT IT IS NOT THEIR PERMANENT PLACE TO LIVE. AND ON TOP OF THAT, YOU KNOW, THEY’RE TALKING ABOUT BASIC SHELTER NEEDS, SOMETHING THAT WE ALL NEED. THAT IS CREATING A LOT OF STRESS AND ANXIETY ON THESE FAMILIES AND LEADING TO MENTAL HEALTH ISSUES. NOW, WHAT WE DIDN’T AND WE’VE NOW DO IS THAT MOST OF THE FACILITIES, MEDICAL TREATMENT FACILITIES HERE IN LAHAINA WERE BURNED IN THE FIRE, LEAVING ONLY ONE STATE RUN FACILITY. SO COMMUNITY BASED ORGANIZATIONS LIKE MAUI BEHAVIORAL HEALTH RESOURCES ARE STEPPING UP. AND THEIR CEO ISLAND NATIVE NICOLE KAWANA, SAYS THEY WERE ALREADY DEALING WITH A RISE IN MENTAL HEALTH AND SUBSTANCE ABUSE CASES HERE ON THE ISLAND. AND NOW THE FIRE HAS JUST THAT. >> IT’S REALLY HARD TO BE WELL ON MAUI RIGHT NOW. HOW IMPORTANT IS IT TO REALLY TAKE A LOOK AT THE COMMUNITY AND NEEDS AND BE OPEN TO A LOT OF DIFFERENT TYPES OF, QUOTE UNQUOTE, TREATMENT? >> WELL, WE ARE NOT WE DON’T ALL HEAL IN THE SAME WAY. IT’S REALLY IMPORTANT TO BE OPEN MINDED AND TO BE PERSON CENTERED OR COMMUNITY CENTERED. >> SO AS OF RIGHT NOW, YOU KNOW, WE VISITED WITH A LOT OF THESE PEOPLE AND THERE ARE A LOT OF DIFFERENT TREATMENTS THAT WE ARE SEEING HERE ON THE ISLAND TO TRY AND ADDRESS THOSE ISSUES. AND WHAT’S HAPPENING WITH THESE BUILDING, MARIA, WHAT’S HOLDING UP THESE APPROVALS? YOU KNOW, THAT’S A VERY GOOD QUESTION. I MEAN, WE KEEP ASKING THAT SAME QUESTION. I MEAN, A LOT OF IT HAS TO DO WITH THE DEBRIS CLEANUP, RIGHT? THAT’S THE ROOT CAUSE AS OF RIGHT NOW. YOU KNOW, SEVERAL OF THE PROPERTIES THAT WE’VE SEEN, THEY’VE BEEN ABLE TO CLEAR THE DEBRIS, BUT NOT EVERYTHING. AND SO RIGHT NOW, A LOT OF THE LOCAL OFFICIALS ARE SAYING WE CANNOT ALLOW YOU TO START BUILDING YET IF MOST OF THE PROPERTIES IN YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD HAVEN’T BEEN CLEARED. I MEAN, THE NEWS THAT WE JUST HEARD RECENTLY IS THAT THERE IS A NEW COUNTY FACILITY THAT IS GOING TO BE BUILT HERE THAT WILL HELP RUN THE PERMITS FASTER. BUT AGAIN, IT COULD TAKE MONTHS BEFORE WE ACTUALLY SEE DIRT BEING MOVED AND CONSTRUCTION ACTUALLY HAPPENING. AND IN THE MEANTIME, THERE’S A CLEAR NEED FOR THESE MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES. HELP IS BEING PROVIDED AND WHAT MORE NEEDS TO BE DONE? WELL, DIANE, AS OF RIGHT NOW, WE KNOW THAT MILLIONS OF DOLLARS HAVE BEEN SENT HERE BY THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT FOR EXCLUSIVELY MENTAL HEALTH. AND SO A LOT OF THESE ORGANIZATIONS ARE TAKING ADVANTAGE OF THAT. BUT ONE OF THE WAYS THAT WE’VE NOTICED THEY’VE DONE THIS IS BY GOING INTO THE COMMUNITY AND DOING OUTREACH WITH THE ACTUAL PEOPLE THAT LIVE IN LAHAINA. I MEAN, THIS IS A VERY TIGHT KNIT COMMUNITY. SO THE IDEA OF THEM GETTING HELP BY JUST ANYONE AND GO INTO ANY ORGANIZATION JUST DOESN’T SIT WELL WITH THEM. SO A LOT OF THESE PEOPLE WHO HAVE BEEN AFFECTED ARE ACTUALLY PART OF THE OUTREACH PROGRAMS HERE. THEY INTO THE COMMUNITY, THEY ENCOURAGE THEM TO COME AND GET HELP SERVICES LOOK LIKE ANYTHING FROM, YOU KNOW, A BIG PACK OF WATER FOR THE DAY TO ACTUALLY RECEIVING THERAPY TO EVEN HORSE THERAPY AS WELL. SO THERE IS DEFINITELY A LOT OF AVENUES HERE. IT’S JUST A MATTER OF GETTING PEOPLE THE RIGHT SERVICES THEY NEED IN THE MOMENT. ALL RIGHT, MIREYA VILLARREAL ON MAUI. MURRAY, THANK YOU.

ACTOR, ABC NEWS LIVE. FIRST, THANKS FOR STREAMING WITH US. YOU’RE LOOKING AT NEW YORK CITY ON THIS WEDNESDAY. AND WE HAVE A LOT OF NEWS TO GET TO. HERE’S THE RUNDOWN RIGHT NOW. SEVERE WEATHER IS ON THE MOVE WITH 57 MILLION PEOPLE IN ITS PATH. THE POSSIBILITY OF STRONG TORNADOES GIANT HAIL, DESTRUCTIVE WINDS AND FLASH FLOODING STRETCHES FROM TEXAS TO VIRGINIA. THIS COMES AFTER AT LEAST 20 REPORTED TORNADOES HAVOC ACROSS FIVE STATES. MICHIGAN HAS DECLARED A STATE OF EMERGENCY. CREWS ASSESS THE DAMAGE. AND HERE’S A LOOK AT A FEDEX FACILITY IN PORTAGE THAT COLLAPSED, TRAPPING DOZENS OF PEOPLE. THANKFULLY, EVERYONE GOT OUT SAFELY. BALTIMORE OFFICIALS SAY THE BODY OF THE SIXTH AND FINAL VICTIM OF THE FRANCIS SCOTT KEY BRIDGE COLLAPSE HAS BEEN RECOVERED. A 37 YEAR OLD MAN WAS WORKING ON THE BRIDGE WHEN IT WAS HIT BY A CARGO SHIP IN MARCH. A SHIP’S CONTAINERS ARE BEING REMOVED IN HOPES OF FULLY REOPENING BALTIMORE’S PORTS BY THE END OF THIS MONTH. AND MORE ARRESTS HAPPENING AT COLLEGE CAMPUSES ACROSS THE COUNTRY AMID PROTESTS AGAINST THE ISRAEL-HAMAS WAR. THE D.C. METROPOLITAN POLICE SAY THEY’VE ARRESTED 30 PEOPLE AT A PROTEST AT GEORGE WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY THIS MORNING. POLICE SAY THEY WERE ATTEMPTING TO BREAK UP THE ENCAMPMENT THERE WHEN THINGS ESCALATED. AT LEAST 130 PEOPLE WERE ARRESTED AT THE UNIVERSITY OF MASSACHUSETTS. AND THE NYPD SAYS IT BROKE UP THE LAST REMAINING PRO-POLICE STANDING ENCAMPMENT AT THE FASHION INSTITUTION OF TECHNOLOGY, OF TECHNOLOGY THAT IS RESULTING IN ROUGHLY 50 ARRESTS. AND THE THUNDER TAKE THE WIN OVER MAVERICKS AS THE NBA PLAYOFFS HEAT UP. OKLAHOMA CITY IS BACK IN THE WESTERN SEMIS FOR THE FIRST TIME SINCE 2016. COMING BACK IN SECOND HALF TO BEAT DALLAS. THE CELTICS TOPPED THE CAVS 120 TO 95, AND TONIGHT THE PACERS. >> THE KNICKS, WHO ARE UP ONE NOTHING IN THAT SERIES. AND THE EDUCATION DEPARTMENT IS ASKING CONGRESS TO APPROVE A $22 MILLION INCREASE TO THIS YEAR’S PROPOSED BUDGET AFTER RISE OF ANTI-SEMITISM. EDUCATION SECRETARY MIGUEL CARDONA SAYS THE FUNDS WOULD HELP THE OFFICE OF CIVIL RIGHTS INVESTIGATE TITLE SIX COMPLAINTS. CARDONA APPEARED BEFORE THE HOUSE EDUCATION AND THE WORKFORCE COMMITTEE YESTERDAY, SAYING ANTI-SEMITISM HAS NO PLACE IN AMERICA THAT EVERY STUDENT DESERVES TO LEARN IN AN ENVIRONMENT FREE OF DISCRIMINATION OR FEAR. >> MAKE NO MISTAKE, ANTI-SEMITISM IS DISCRIMINATION. DISSENT IS ESSENTIAL TO DEMOCRACY. BUT DISSENT MUST NEVER LEAD TO DISORDER OR TO DENYING RIGHT OF OTHERS. SO STUDENTS CAN FINISH THEIR SEMESTER AND THEIR COLLEGE EDUCATION. >> HATE HAS NO PLACE ON COLLEGE CAMPUSES. >> NOW REPUBLICAN CONGRESSWOMAN AND CHAIR OF THE COMMITTEE FOX, IS RENEWING CALLS FOR CARDONA’S RESIGNATION OVER HIS TO ANTI-SEMITISM AND CAMPUS DEMONSTRATIONS AND SECRETARY MIGUEL CARDONA JOINS ME LIVE NOW FOR MORE. THE SECRETARY. THANK YOU FOR COMING ON. YOU KNOW, YESTERDAY, REPRESENTATIVE GAVE YOU NUMEROUS FAILING GRADES AND SHE CITED YOUR, QUOTE, LACK OF MORAL CLARITY OVER THE ONGOING CAMPUS PROTESTS. >> WHAT’S YOUR RESPONSE TO THAT? WELL, LOOK, YOU KNOW, MY FOCUS IS ON MAKING SURE OUR EDUCATION SYSTEM HAS THE SUPPORT IT NEEDS AND FRANKLY, THERE WAS A LOT OF POLITICAL THEATRICS YESTERDAY. THESE ARE THE SAME PEOPLE THAT PARADE THEIR CARE FOR STUDENTS AND ASK ME TO CUT MY BUDGET. YOU KNOW, THIS IS THE SAME GROUP THAT WANTED TO CUT THE INVESTIGATION ARM OF THE OFFICE FOR CIVIL RIGHTS BY, 23%. IT’S THEATRICS. I’M HERE TO SERVE STUDENTS AND SERVE OUR COUNTRY. >> NOW, SOME OF THESE REPUBLICAN LAWMAKERS, THEY’RE DEMANDING YOU PULL FEDERAL FUNDING FROM UNIVERSITIES WHO AREN’T CRACKING DOWN HARD ENOUGH ON ANTISEMITISM. >> ARE YOU OPEN TO THAT? >> YOU KNOW, THEY MAKE A LOT OF STATEMENTS THAT THEY KNOW THAT’S NOT WITHIN MY PURVIEW AS SECRETARY OF EDUCATION. WHAT WE CAN DO IS INVESTIGATE CASES WHERE ANTISEMITISM IS RAMPANT AND WITHHOLD DOLLARS IF A SCHOOL REFUSES PROTECT STUDENTS. WE HAVE OVER 145 CASES OPEN. WE HAVE RESOURCES AS THEY ARE, AND WE’RE WORKING WITH COLLEGES TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY’RE CRACKING DOWN ON LAWLESSNESS AND UNSAFE CONDITIONS ON CAMPUS. >> AND SECRETARY WE’VE HEARD FROM POLICE FORCES, ESPECIALLY THE NYPD, ABOUT IMPACT OF OUTSIDE AGITATORS IN THESE PROTESTS. THE NYPD, AN INITIAL ANALYSIS, THEY SAID, SHOWED THAT NEARLY HALF OF THOSE ARRESTED AT COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY AND CITY COLLEGE WERE ACTUALLY NOT AFFILIATED WITH THE SCHOOL. SO HOW DO YOU HANDLE THAT PART OF THIS? >> I THINK THAT’S ABSOLUTELY RIGHT. LOOK, THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE, RIGHT? AND THE REALITY IS WE HAVE A CLASS OF 2024 THAT DESERVES TO GRADUATE. THESE ARE SAME STUDENTS THAT FOUR YEARS AGO WERE IMPACTED. THEIR GRADUATION WAS IMPACTED. THE PANDEMIC. IT’S REALLY IMPORTANT THAT WE PROTECT OUR STUDENTS AND FAMILIES ON CAMPUS AND MAKE SURE WE FIGHT ANTI-SEMITISM OR ANY FORM OF HATRED ON CAMPUS BOLDLY, WHILE THE RIGHT OF STUDENTS PROTEST IS SOMETHING THAT WE SHOULD PROTECT. IT’S NOT A PROTEST. STUDENTS FEEL UNSAFE ON CAMPUS OR WHEN YOU’RE DISORDERLY AND TAKING OVER AND MAKING PEOPLE FEEL UNSAFE. >> THESE SCHOOLS, PLACES WHERE STUDENTS SHOULD FEEL SAFE ACROSS THE COUNTRY. >> AND YOU SAID ANY FORM DISCRIMINATION. THE COUNCIL ON AMERICAN-ISLAMIC RELATIONS RECENTLY RELEASED, ITS 2020 FOR CIVIL RIGHTS REPORT, AND THEY SAY THEY’VE RECEIVED THAN 8000 COMPLAINTS, THE HIGHEST EVER IN THE COUNCIL’S 30 YEAR HISTORY. SO WHAT DOES THE EDUCATION DEPARTMENT NOT ONLY TO TACKLE ANTISEMITISM BUT ALSO TO TACKLE ISLAMOPHOBIA? >> ABSOLUTELY. YOU KNOW, LAST FRIDAY I SENT A LETTER OUT TO OVER 5000 COLLEGE PRESIDENTS. YESTERDAY, WE SENT A DEAR COLLEAGUE LETTER, WHICH IS A SIMILAR FORMAT FROM THE OFFICE FOR CIVIL RIGHTS. WE HAVE MATERIALS GUIDANCE AVAILABLE TO THEM. WE HAVE TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE. WE WANT TO WORK WITH THEM TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY KNOW WHAT TO DO. THIS IS A CHALLENGE TO PROTECT FREE SPEECH. BUT MAKE SURE SCHOOLS ARE SAFE. WE WANT TO WORK WITH OUR SCHOOLS, BUT WE’RE NOT GOING TO TOLERATE ANTI-SEMITISM. WE’RE NOT GOING TO TOLERATE OR ANTI-MUSLIM SENTIMENT ON OUR CAMPUSES. THAT’S THAT’S UN-AMERICAN. >> AND WE’RE COMMITTED TO IT. AND PART OF THAT COMMITMENT IS TO CONGRESS AND SAYING INSTEAD OF JUST TALKING ABOUT IT OR STANDING BEHIND A PODIUM BOLDLY PROVIDE THE FUNDS THAT WE NEED TO GET INVESTIGATORS. THE $22 MILLION REQUEST THAT I HAVE IS FOR INVESTIGATORS TO CLOSE THESE CASES OUT AND PROVIDE THE ORDER THAT WE NEED ON OUR CAMPUSES. SO IT’S A LITTLE HYPOCRITICAL TO, YOU KNOW, MAKE A BIG GRAND SHOW AND THEN TRY TO CUT THE BUDGET THAT GIVES US THE AUTHORITY AND THE POWER TO MAKE CHANGE ON CAMPUSES. >> DURING THE HEARING, YOU ALSO GOT A LOT OF QUESTIONS ABOUT THE NEW FAFSA ROLLOUT AND ALL THE ISSUES WITH THAT. REPRESENTATIVE FOX GAVE YOU AN F GRADE FOR THAT. HOW WILL THE DEPARTMENT AND HOW ARE YOU ADDRESSING THESE ISSUES ALREADY AND HOW ARE YOU ENSURING THESE STUDENTS GET THE MONEY THEY NEED FROM A PROCESS THAT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE. YEAH, WELL, YOU KNOW, THE PROCESS NOW IS WORKING. IF A STUDENT GOES ON STUDENT AID THAT GOV TODAY AND FILLS OUT THE APPLICATION BY FRIDAY OR MONDAY, THE LATEST SCHOOLS WILL HAVE THEIR INFORMATION. AND WE KNOW SCHOOLS ARE PROCESSING LETTERS. WE’VE DEVOTED $50 MILLION TO HELP FOR THOSE STUDENTS WHO HAVE NOT YET FILLED IT OUT. THERE WERE. AND WE’RE COMMITTED TO MAKING SURE WE GET IT RIGHT. AND THE REALITY IS, LOOK, I FILLED IT OUT FOR MY SON TWO YEARS AGO, AND IT WAS AN HOUR LONG PROCESS. I FILLED IT OUT THIS YEAR FROM MY DAUGHTER. IT WAS ABOUT A 15, 20 MINUTE PROCESS. IT’S ONLY GOING TO GET. WE’RE COMMITTED TO MAKING IT RIGHT FOR OUR COUNTRY. AND LET’S REMEMBER WHY WE’RE DOING THIS TO OUR HIGHER EDUCATION SYSTEM. IS. OUR LOAN SYSTEM IS BROKEN AND WE’RE TAKING ON THE HARD WORK WE’RE NOT JUST PROTECTING THE STATUS QUO. IT’S ONLY GOING TO GET BETTER. AND WE’RE COMMITTED TO MAKING IT, RIGHT, FOR OUR STUDENTS. >> AND SECRETARY, BEFORE I LET YOU GO, IT’S TEACHER APPRECIATION WEEK AND A NATIONAL CENTER FOR EDUCATION ASSISTANCE STUDY SAYS 86% OF K THROUGH 12 PUBLIC SCHOOLS REPORTED CHALLENGES HIRING TEACHERS FOR THE 2023 24 SCHOOL YEAR. 45% SAY THEY’RE UNDERSTAFFED. >> WHAT DO YOU THINK? WHAT’S CAUSING THIS SHORTAGE AND WHAT IS THE DEPARTMENT DOING TO TRY TO FIX IT? >> ABSOLUTELY. LOOK, YOU KNOW I THINK THAT TEACHER SHORTAGE IS A SYMPTOM OF A TEAER RESPECT ISSUE IN OUR COUNTRY. YOU KNOW, AND I’M HAVING TO CHALLENGE AND REMIND THE FOLKS IN THE EDUCATION COMMITTEE, ESPECIALLY THE REPUBLICANS WHO ARE TRYING TO TEAR DOWN THE BUDGET THAT WE NEED TO DEFEND PUBLIC EDUCATION, NOT DEFUND IT. THAT’S PART OF THE CHALLENGE. RIGHT. BUT WHAT WE’RE DOING AT THE DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION IS OVER $2 BILLION IN TEACHER PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT. GROW YOUR OWN PROGRAMS AND JUST LIFTING UP THE PROFESSION. YOU KNOW, TEACHERS ON AVERAGE MAKE 24% LESS THAN PEOPLE WITH SIMILAR DEGREES IN. OTHER PROFESSIONS. INSTEAD OF TALKING ABOUT TEACHER APPRECIATION WEEK AND JUST, YOU KNOW, WHEN THE WEEK COMES UP, LET’S SHOW THEM RESPECT AND GIVE THEM A COMPETITIVE SALARY. MAKE SURE WE HONOR THE PROFESSION THE WAY IT BE HONORED. OUR STUDENTS DESERVE THAT. WHEN WE INVEST IN OUR TEACHERS AND WE SHOW RESPECT AND SHOWING RESPECT TO THE EDUCATION SYSTEM IN THIS COUNTRY IS NOT GOING TO GROW WITHOUT A STRONG EDUCATION SYSTEM. I’M AN EXAMPLE OF PUBLIC EDUCATION. WHAT IT CAN DO. >> ALL RIGHT. EDUCATION SECRETARY MIGUEL CARDONA, WE APPRECIATE YOUR TIME TODAY. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. COMING UP, NEW POTENTIAL BREAKTHROUGH FOR WEIGHT LOSS TARGETING THE SO-CALLED HUNGER HORMONE. HOW THE PROCEDURE WORKS AND THE POTENTIAL RISKS. ALSO AHEAD, WARMING UP OUTSIDE AND THAT MAKES IT EVEN MORE IMPORTANT TO PROTECT YOUR SKIN. DR. PATEL JOINS US WITH HIS SUNNY DAY TIPS AND HAT.

THIS IS NOT ABOUT PARENTS WHO JUST LET THEIR KID WATCH VIOLENT MOVIES, PLAY VIOLENT VIDEO GAMES. THIS IS ABOUT PARENTS WHO NEGLECTED THEIR SON IGNORED HIS CRIES FOR HELP, THEN BOUGHT HIM A GUN. THE PARENTS IN AMERICA TO BE CHARGED IN A SCHOOL SHOOTING. THEY PURCHASED THAT GUN AND BRAGGED ABOUT IT. YOU DON’T GET TO WALK AWAY FROM THAT. THAT’S A COMMON SENSE OF THE PARENTS. >> THE CRUMBLEY TRIALS. THE OPPOSITE OF LOVE IS NOT HATE. IT’S JUST BEING IGNORED. ONLY ON HULU. DO SO MANY PEOPLE START THEIR DAY HERE. FROM ABC NEWS. THIS IS "START HERE" TO BE IN THE KNOW AND GET A DIFFERENT TAKE ON THE DAY’S TOP STORIES. A LOT OF NEWS TODAY SO LET’S GET INTO IT. LISTEN TO THE DAILY NEWS PODCAST HONORED WITH FOR EDWARD, OUR MURROW AND SEE WHY THE NEW YORK TIMES CALLS IT A NEWS PODCAST WORTH TO YOU START HERE. ABC NEWS MAKE IT YOUR DAILY FIRST LISTEN. >> NOW THAT’S THE PART OF THE STORY THAT YOU DIDN’T SEE COMING. WHEREVER YOU GET YOUR PODCASTS, START HERE. WELCOME BACK TO ABC NEWS LIVE. DOCTORS IN NORTH CAROLINA ARE STUDYING AND COULD POTENTIALLY GAME CHANGING THAT TARGETS OBESITY AT A HORMONAL LEVEL. DOCTORS ARE EXPECTED TO PRESENT THEIR FINDINGS LATER THIS MONTH. ABC’S ERIELLE RESHEF EXCLUSIVELY TO THE TEAM BEHIND THE PRELIMINARY STUDY THE MEDICAL TEAM BEHIND A CLINICAL TRIAL FOR A POSSIBLE WEIGHT LOSS PROCEDURE SAYS IT HAS THE POTENTIAL TO BE A GAME CHANGER FOR PATIENTS WHO MIGHT BE AFRAID OF SURGERY. >> THIS MAY BE MORE. >> IT’S CALLED ENDOSCOPIC ABLATION. AND HERE’S IT WORKS. THE DOCTOR INSERTS A CAMERA INTO THE STOMACH WHILE THE IS ASLEEP. FLUIDS ARE ADMINISTERED TO PROTECT THE UNDERLYING STOMACH TISSUE BEFORE A TINY DEVICE ABATES OR BURNS THE LINING OF THE UPPER PORTION OF THE STOMACH THAT PRODUCES GHRELIN THE SO-CALLED HUNGER HORMONE THAT CAN TRIGGER APPETITE. >> DR. MCGOWAN SAYS IN A LIMITED STUDY OF TEN PATIENTS THAT IT HAS RESULTED IN DECREASED APPETITE AND WEIGHT LOSS. >> WE HAVE PATIENTS WHO ARE A YEAR OR MORE BEYOND THEIR INITIAL PROCEDURE AND WHAT WE ARE SEEING IS THAT THEY CONTINUE TO HAVE A DIMINISHMENT DECREASE IN HUNGER, CONTINUE TO REPORT GREATER CONTROL OVER EATING. >> BROOKE NELSON IS ONE OF THE FIRST TO HAVE UNDERGONE THIS TRIAL. SHE SAYS THE RESULTS HAVE BEEN NOTHING SHORT OF REMARKABLE. THE CONSTANT JUST WANTING A FOOD HAS GIRAFFES ACTUALLY DECREASED? I MEAN, THERE’S STILL MOMENTS. I WANT A CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIE, BUT THERE’S A LOT MORE MOMENTS . I FIND MYSELF WANTING SOMETHING LIKE GREEN. >> NELSON LOSING £26 OVER SIX MONTHS. DR. MCGOWAN SAYS THE RESULTS OF THE STUDY INDICATE ON AVERAGE THAT PATIENTS REDUCE THEIR OVERALL WEIGHT BY 7%. >> TODAY, ANNETTE 180 THREE AND WHILE THE NEW PROCEDURE OFFERS A NON-SURGICAL ALTERNATIVE TO GASTRIC BYPASS SURGERY IN WHICH PORTIONS OF THE STOMACH ARE REDUCED IN SIZE, LIKE ANY PROCEDURE, IT DOES COME WITH RISKS. >> RISKS IN THIS TECHNOLOGY COULD INCLUDE THINGS LIKE ULCERS, BLEEDING, SOMEHOW INJURING THE STOMACH. THESE WERE THINGS WE WERE REALLY CAREFUL ABOUT. IN THIS CASE, EVERYTHING WAS MILD, AND THAT WAS THE CRAMPING AND GAS AND NAUSEA, THINGS YOU’D EXPECT WHEN YOU PERFORM A PROCEDURE ON A STOMACH. BUT THERE WERE NO COMPLICATIONS WHATSOEVER. >> AND NELSON SAYS THIS PROCEDURE IS NOT A SHORTCUT. IT’S JUST A TOOL TO HELP. IT IS STILL VERY FAR FROM BEING APPROVED WIDE USE. THE STUDY WAS LIMITED AND AT THIS POINT, LITTLE IS KNOWN ABOUT THE LONG TERM SAFETY AND RESULTS. IT’S ALSO UNCLEAR IF IT WOULD BE A ONE AND DONE SOLUTION OR IF IT WOULD NEED TO BE REPEATED OVER TIME. DIANE ERIELLE RESHEF, THANK YOU. AND IT’S TIME NOW FOR BUT TELL IT LIKE IT IS WHERE DR. ALOK PATEL SHARES HEALTH ON THE TOPICS THAT MATTER MOST TO YOU. MAY IS SKIN CANCER AWARENESS MONTH. SO TODAY DR. PATEL HAS MORE ON WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT PROTECTING YOUR SKIN. >> IT’S SUNNY. >> LET’S GO OUTSIDE. WE PUT ON SUNSCREEN AND A HAT, GLASSES AND SHIRT. OKAY, NOW READY TO GO BECAUSE CHECK IT OUT. FROM THE SUN WITHIN ULTRAVIOLET AND SOLAR GLORY CAN BE DAMAGING TO OUR SKIN, CAUSING SUNBURNS, PREMATURE AGING AND SKIN CANCER. AND I’M TRYING TO PROTECT THIS CAFE MOCHA SKIN IN MIND. SO I’VE ENLISTED THE HELP OF THREE ALL STAR DERMATOLOGISTS TO GIVE ME SOME ADVICE. FIRST, AN OVERVIEW OF HOW COMMON SKIN CANCER IS. SKIN CANCER IS THE MOST COMMON CANCER IN UNITED STATES. >> IN FACT, ONE OUT OF EVERY FIVE AMERICANS DEVELOP SKIN CANCER AT SOME POINT DURING THEIR LIFETIME. WHOA. IT’S MORE COMMON THAN PEOPLE THINK. ANYONE AT ANY EDGE AND ANY SKIN COLOR CAN DEVELOP CANCER AND I’M A LITTLE FREAKED OUT. DON’T BE. IT’S ALL ABOUT AWARENESS AND PREVENTION. OKAY, GOT IT. SO WHAT ARE SOME ACTIONABLE STEPS FOR ME TO TAKE? ULTRAVIOLET LIGHT EXPOSURE IS THE MOST EXCELLENT RISK FACTOR. ALL TYPES OF BRAIN CANCER. SO REMEMBER, TECHNIQUES AND SOME PROTECTIVE CLOTHING, INCLUDING LONG SLEEVED SHIRT, HATS AND SUNGLASSES DONE AND DONE. WEAR A BROAD SPECTRUM SUNSCREEN WITH AT LEAST A THREE EVERY YEAR. WHENEVER YOU GO OUTSIDE, EVEN ON A CLOUDY DAY. GOOD OLD SUNSCREEN AND ITS ABILITY TO PROTECT AGAINST HARMFUL UV RAYS. OH, AND TWO MORE THINGS. AVOID TANNING BEDS. THEY’RE REALLY REALLY BAD FOR YOU. AND TAKE YOUR SKIN OUT EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE. ONCE A MONTH IS ABOUT THE RIGHT TIME FRAME. DO YOU SEE ANYTHING NEWER TEACHING? MAKE SURE TO CHECK IN WITH YOUR DERMATOLOGY. OKAY. LET’S BE REAL. I’M NOT GOING TANNING ANYTIME SOON, BUT I AM OVERDUE IN SEEING A DERMATOLOGY BECAUSE I HAVE THE SPIRIT SPOT. NEVER MIND THAT. LET’S TALK ABOUT SOME BEST PRACTICES WHEN IT COMES TO CHOOSING AND USING SUNSCREEN. OF COURSE, ALWAYS WANT TO TALK SUNSCREEN. MAKE SURE IT’S BROAD SPECTRUM WATER RESISTANT. YOU AND AT LEAST SPF 30 OR YOU’RE NOT TRYING. I HAVE PLENTY OF THAT IN STOCK, BUT YOU REMEMBER TO REAPPLY EVERY 2 HOURS. >> I DO. I DO SEE EACH OTHER. >> BUT MAKE SURE YOU USE AT LEAST AN OUNCE OF SUNSCREEN . YOU HAVE ADEQUATE PROTECTION FROM THE SUN. THAT’S A GOOD REMINDER. I USE SUNBLOCK EVERY SINGLE DAY, AND IT’S STILL IMPORTANT FOR ME TO HEAR ALL THIS BY FOLLOWING THESE SIMPLE TIPS. YOUR SKIN, MY SKIN. ALL OUR SKIN CAN BE BETTER PROTECTED, AND WE CAN REDUCE OUR RISK OF GETTING SKIN CANCER WHILE STILL HAVING SOME FUN. >> THE SUN. THANK YOU. DERMATOLOGISTS. SUNS OUT. GUNS OUT. DR. PATEL LOVING THE OUTFIT. AND NOW I MEAN THE HAT. IT’S REALLY THIS IS EVERYTHING I KIND OF WANT TO KEEP IT ON BUT YOU KNOW PROBABLY KIND OF A WEIRD GIVEN THAT I’M INSIDE BUT HEY AND I LOOK I REST MY HAIR FOR TV FOR THE FOR THE METHOD ACTING. >> ALSO, BY THE WAY, I STOLE THAT LINE FROM WILL GANSS, WHO’S SITTING NEXT TO ME OFF CAMERA. WE WERE JUST VERY MUCH ADMIRING YOUR SUMMER GEAR. BUT LET’S TALK ABOUT SUNSCREEN, BECAUSE I HATE THAT WE OFTEN WORDS LIKE SPF AND BROAD SPECTRUM AND CHEMICAL AND MINERAL. AND, YOU KNOW, FOR THOSE OF US WHO ARE NOT EXPERTS HERE, IT CAN GET A LITTLE CONFUSING. SO WALK US THROUGH THIS. WHAT DO WE NEED TO KNOW AND WHY DOES IT ALL MATTER? >> YEAH, THE WORDS CAN BE CONFUSING AND I’M ALWAYS GAME FOR A GOOD TERM DECODER SESSION. SO LET’S GET WITH THAT. THE FDA ACTUALLY THE TERMS BROAD SPECTRUM AND SPF BROAD SPECTRUM TO THE ABILITY TO BLOCK BOTH UVA AND UVB RAYS . THINK A FOR AGING, B FOR BURNING SPF IS YOUR SUN PROTECTION FACTOR, WHICH REFERS TO THE PERCENTAGE OF HARMFUL RAYS THAT WILL BE BLOCKED BY THAT SUNSCREEN, SPECIFICALLY UVB. >> SPF 30 IS GOING TO BLOCK ABOUT 97%. THAT IS THE MINIMUM YOU SHOULD . MINERAL SUNSCREENS REFER TO CREATING A PHYSICAL BARRIER. THINK ZINC OR TITANIUM DIOXIDE. THOSE ARE THE INGREDIENTS. CHEMICAL LIKE A SPONGE ABSORBING RAYS ON YOUR SKIN. >> WATER RESISTANT. >> ALSO ANOTHER FDA REGULATED TERM WHICH REFERS TO THE ABILITY A SUNSCREEN TO STAY EFFECTIVE FOR 40 MINUTES AFTER UNDERWATER. AND A QUICK CHECKLIST OF WHAT TO DO. REMINDER, REMEMBER, PUT ON SUNSCREEN 20 MINUTES BEFORE YOU GO OUTSIDE TO REAPPLY EVERY 2 HOURS. CHECK THE EXPIRATION AND YOU WANT TO USE AT LEAST AN OUNCE OF SUNSCREEN. THAT’S ABOUT THE AMOUNT OF A SHOT GLASS. >> MOST RESPONSIBLE USE OF A SHOT GLASS EVER. >> WHAT ABOUT THE INGREDIENTS IN SUNSCREEN? IF YOU JUST GO SCROLLING SOCIAL MEDIA, IT CAN REALLY SCARE YOU AND PEOPLE MAKING YOU THINK THAT THE SUNSCREEN IS GOING TO KILL YOU, BUT YOU DON’T WANT THE SKIN CANCER TO KILL YOU. >> AND THEN IN THE END, IT CAN DRIVE YOU MAD AND PEOPLE START DOOMSCROLLING. BUT REMEMBER, THESE INGREDIENTS ARE CLOSELY MONITORED AND STUDIED. THERE’S ABOUT 16 APPROVED INGREDIENTS, THE TWO THAT ARE MOST COMMON THAT ARE DEEMED SAFE BY THE FDA AND THE AMERICAN ACADEMY OF DERMATOLOGY ARE ZINC AND TITANIUM DIOXIDE. AND WHAT IS KNOWN IS THE RISK OF SKIN CANCER. IF YOU DON’T PUT ON SUNSCREEN. NOW, PEOPLE HAVE SEEN HEADLINES ABOUT SUNSCREEN, INGREDIENTS BEING ABSORBED, YOUR BLOOD, BUT THERE IS NO DEFINITIVE PROOF AT ALL THAT THAT IS HARMFUL FOR HUMANS. I DO RESPECT PEOPLE, HOWEVER, ESPECIALLY ON SOCIAL MEDIA, WE’RE WORRIED ABOUT THE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS OF USING SUNSCREEN. SO SOME QUICK TIPS, EVEN THOUGH. IT’S CONVENIENT. TRY TO AVOID USING SPRAY SUNSCREENS. THE FUMES AREN’T GREAT AND THEY ACTUALLY CAN GET INTO THE WATER SUPPLY. YOU WANT TO TRY TO USE A RECYCLED. >> THERE ARE SOME SUNSCREENS THAT COME IN CARDBOARD. ALSO, DO ME A FAVOR, READ THE INGREDIENTS BECAUSE REEF SAFE IS NOT A REGULATED TERM. SO LOOK WHAT YOU’RE PUTTING ON YOUR SKIN. AND GUESS WHAT? THE MORE CLOTHING YOU’RE WEARING, SUNSCREEN YOU ACTUALLY NEED TO USE. >> AND DR. PATEL, I’M OUT OF TIME, BUT I JUST GOT MY SKIN CHECK. >> HOW OFTEN SHOULD WE BE DOING THAT AT THE DERMATOLOGIST? >> YOU KNOW, AT THE DERMATOLOGIST, YOU WANT TO DO THAT REGULARLY. THERE IS NO SET TIME SCHEDULE, BUT TRY TO CHECK YOUR SKIN HEAD TO TOE AFTER THE SHOWER. EVERYWHERE YOUR EARS, YOUR YOUR NECK, YOUR BACK BETWEEN YOUR FINGERS AND TOES BECAUSE SKIN CANCER IS THE MOST CANCER IN COMMON CANCER, THE UNITED STATES ONE IN FIVE ADULTS WILL DEVELOP IT IN THEIR LIFETIME. ABOUT 1.5 MILLION AMERICANS ARE LIVING WITH MELANOMA, AND IT’S AS EASY AS CHECKING YOUR SKIN OUT. AND IF YOU NOTICE ANYTHING WEIRD LIKE ASYMMETRY WEIRD BORDER CHANGING COLORS, A BIG DIAMETER OF A MOLE OR ANY ARE EVOLVING. YOU WANT TO GO AND GET THAT LOOKED AT BY A BOARD CERTIFIED DERMATOLOGY. >> IT CAN ABSOLUTELY SAVE YOUR LIFE. ALL RIGHT, DR. PATEL, THANK YOU. AND REMEMBER, DR. PATEL IS HERE TO TAKE YOUR QUESTIONS. SO JUST LEAVE A MESSAGE ON INSTAGRAM FEED AT ABC NEWS LIVE AND HE MIGHT ANSWER YOUR QUESTION RIGHT HERE FRIDAY. >> COMING UP, RAPPER DRAKE’S SHOT OUTSIDE HIS TORONTO HOME.

AND NIKKI HALEY RISING HER PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN DEAD FOR MONTHS UNTIL NOW. THE FORMER REPUBLICAN CONTENDER JUST GOT MORE THAN 20% OF THE VOTE IN INDIANA’S PRIMARY TROUBLE FOR TRUMP IN NOVEMBER. STAY TUNED. >> GOOD AFTERNOON, EVERYONE. I’M KYRA PHILLIPS. OUR TOP STORY THIS HOUR, EXTREME WEATHER AND A VIOLENT TORNADO OUTBREAK ACROSS SEVERAL STATES MICHIGAN HIT ESPECIALLY HARD. GOVERNOR GRETCHEN WHITMER THERE DECLARING A STATE OF EMERGENCY. THE SITUATION IS SO BAD, THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ALSO ISSUING ITS FIRST EVER TORNADO EMERGENCY. AT LEAST TWO TWISTERS TOUCHING DOWN IN THE CITY OF PORTAGE. THIS VIDEO SHOWING DAMAGE TO A FEDEX FACILITY. AT LEAST 50 PEOPLE THERE INSIDE WHEN THE STORM HIT. >> TAKE A LISTEN. FEDEX, 67, A TRUCK, AN ENTIRE BUILDING COLLAPSED, THE BRAND NEW BUILDING. THIS IS JUST JUST GOT FINISHED ABOUT 2 TO 3 YEARS OR SO TO GET A TOTAL COLLAPSE. >> SEVERE STORMS CAUSING MASS DESTRUCTION AT A MOBILE PARK HOME IN KALAMAZOO. A LOT OF HOMES THERE JUST FLIPPED UPSIDE DOWN OR JUST SIMPLY LEFT IN RUINS. MULTIPLE HURT. A LOT OF PEOPLE WAKING UP TO THE EXTENT OF THE DAMAGE THIS MORNING, LEADING OFF THIS HOUR OF EXTREME WEATHER TEAM RIGHT THERE IN THE STORM ZONE. THE FORECAST FOR US. LET’S START WITH YOU, ALEX PRESHA. IN THE HARDEST AREA OF PORTAGE, MICHIGAN, JUST SOUTH OF GRAND RAPIDS. WHAT’S THE SITUATION LIKE THIS HOUR? >> HEY, HERE. SO WE’RE LESS THAN HALF MILE FROM THAT FEDEX FACILITY THAT WAS COMPLETELY DESTROYED AND YOU’RE SEEING MUCH OF THAT DESTRUCTION HERE IN THIS NEIGHBORHOOD THAT ACTUALLY USED TO BE A GARAGE. THE HOMEOWNER HERE TELLS ME THAT, BELIEVE IT OR NOT, THERE’S A CAR BURIED UNDERNEATH ALL OF THIS. AND WE’VE SEEN SCENES LIKE THIS ALL OVER THIS AS PEOPLE ARE TRYING TO TO TO CLEAN UP NOW. AND SO I’M GOING TO PAN OVER HERE AND YOU SEE THIS CLEANUP EFFORT. WELL UNDERWAY. I MEAN, WE’VE GOT WOOD CHIPPERS. WE’VE GOT A LOG GRABBERS AND DUMP TRUCKS BROUGHT IN AS THEY’RE TRYING TO GET SOME OF THESE HUGE TREES THAT FELL DURING THE PATH OF THIS STORM OUT OF THE ROAD. A BIG, BIG BIG EMPHASIS THIS MORNING TO GET SOME OF THIS HEAVY EQUIPMENT IN WAS GETTING UP THOSE POWER LINES. SO WE’VE SEEN THEY WERE ABLE TO ACTUALLY DO A LOT OF THAT. AND SO NOW YOU’RE HEARING THE CHAINSAWS THERE IN THE BACKGROUND. BUT WHAT’S REMARKABLE ABOUT THIS IS AS MUCH DESTRUCTION THAT WE SAW DURING THIS STORM, THE NUMBER OF INJURIES ARE RELATIVELY LOW FOR THIS COMMUNITY. PEOPLE TALKING ABOUT HOW THEY WEATHER THIS STORM OVERNIGHT. TAKE A LISTEN. >> WELL, I’M FRAGMENTS RIGHT NOW, SO REALLY, I WAS JUST THINKING ABOUT MY BABY. THE WHOLE BACK WALL OF THE SALON REMOVED AND THE BATHROOM WAS LIKE COMPLETELY. AND WE’VE HEARD ANECDOTES LIKE OVER AND OVER PEOPLE THAT HAVE HIT OUT IN THE MIDDLE OF THEIR HOME OR IN BASEMENT OF THE LIBRARY SEEKING SHELTER WHEREVER THEY COULD FIND. IT WORKED BECAUSE RELATIVELY A LOW NUMBER OF INJURIES TO JUST THE SHEER AMOUNT OF DAMAGE THAT YOU’RE SEEING HERE. >> ALL RIGHT. SO LET’S TAKE IT OVER NOW TO OUR METEOROLOGIST, MELISSA GRIP AND MELISSA. 57 MILLION PEOPLE IN THE TORNADO STORM ZONE. SO WHAT’S THE LATEST TRACK? WELL, KYRA, WE’VE SEEN THOSE INCREDIBLE IMAGES THERE IN MICHIGAN WHERE ALEX IS. AND LIKE YOU MENTIONED, THAT FIRST TORNADO EMERGENCY ON RECORD FOR THE STATE OF MICHIGAN WAS ISSUED LAST NIGHT. AND UNFORTUNATELY, THE SEVERE IS NOT OVER YET BECAUSE I’M TRACKING MORE TORNADO WATCHES. MORE TORNADO FOR THE MIDWEST. >> TAKE A LOOK AT THIS. MISSOURI, A LOT OF THE STATE IN IT. AND ANOTHER TORNADO WATCH JUST ISSUED FOR THE WESTERN PART OF THE STATE. BUT ONE STRETCHES ALL THE WAY INTO SOUTHERN ILLINOIS, INTO KENTUCKY. CARBONDALE AND PADUCAH. YOU’RE INCLUDED IN THAT AS THAT LINE. EXTREME STORMS STARTS FIRING UP LATER THIS AFTERNOON. BUT IT’S NOT JUST THE TORNADO WATCH. WE’RE ALSO WATCHING FOR FLASH FLOODING. WE HAVE SEVERE WATCHES ISSUED AS FAR EAST AS CHARLOTTE, NORTH CAROLINA, AND THESE FLOOD WATCHES INTO CINCINNATI THROUGH TOMORROW MORNING BECAUSE THESE STORMS ARE GOING TO ALSO PRODUCE VERY HEAVY RAIN. AND YOU CAN SEE IT HERE IN THE TIMING. LOOK AT THOSE BRIGHT PINKS AND REDS LIT UP THROUGH TENNESSEE, DOWN THE SOUTHEAST. AND LOOK AT THIS WIDE AREA FOR SEVERE WEATHER. LIKE YOU SAID, 57 MILLION AMERICANS IN THIS AREA FROM CHARLESTON, VIRGINIA, TO LOUISVILLE, ALL THE WAY DOWN TO DALLAS. BUT IT’S THIS REGION. IT’S THE AREA HIGHLIGHTED IN ORANGE. THAT’S WHERE WE COULD SEE THE STRONG TORNADOES LATER THIS AFTERNOON INTO THE EVENING. >> AND THE RED, THAT’S THE SECOND HIGHEST LEVEL FOR SEVERE WEATHER. >> THIS IS FOR GIANT HAIL. I’M TALKING SOFTBALL UP TO GRAPEFRUIT SIZED HAIL AND WIND DAMAGE GUSTS COULD REACH 80 MILES PER HOUR FROM SOUTHERN MISSOURI RIGHT ACROSS THROUGH PADUCAH, KENTUCKY, EVEN INCLUDING NASHVILLE, RIGHT INTO THE OVERNIGHT HOURS. AND THIS WHOLE SYSTEM, IT PUSHES THE RECORDS. THE EAST COAST AS, WE HEAD INTO THURSDAY, STRETCHING ALL THE WAY DOWN TO THE GULF COAST, INCLUDING PLACES LIKE MOBILE, ALABAMA, BACK THROUGH DALLAS. THEY COULD SEE GIANT HAIL THROUGH TOMORROW AFTERNOON AND EVENING. SO REALLY JUST SUCH A WIDESPREAD, SEVERE WEATHER RISK RIGHT THROUGH THE WEEK KYRA. ALL RIGHT, ALEX PRESHA. >> MELISSA GRIFFIN, THANK YOU BOTH SO MUCH. HOLDING AMMO, BUT SENDING A STRONG SIGNAL TO ISRAEL. DEFENSE SECRETARY LLOYD AUSTIN NOW CONFIRMING THAT THE U.S. IS PAUSING A WEAPONS SHIPMENT FOR THE COUNTRY, INCLUDING SOME 3500 BOMBS. THIS IS THE FIRST TIME THAT WE KNOW OF THAT THE U.S. HAS DENIED ISRAEL ACCESS MILITARY AID TO TRY AND INFLUENCE THIS WAR. THE CONCERN IS THAT THESE WEAPONS WOULD BE USED IN RAFAH, THE TOWN IN ISRAEL’S CROSSHAIRS RIGHT NOW, AS MORE THAN A MILLION PALESTINIAN CIVILIANS ARE STILL CURRENTLY SEEKING THERE. PRESIDENT BIDEN URGENTLY WARNING ISRAEL NOT TO RAFAH FOR THE LAST FEW WEEKS NOW, BUT SO FAR THOSE WARNINGS HAVE BEEN COMPLETELY IGNORED. THE DEFENSE SECRETARY LAYING OUT THE U.S. POSITION DURING AN EXCHANGE WITH SENATORS EARLIER TODAY. >> WE CURRENTLY REVIEWING SOME NEAR-TERM SECURITY ASSISTANCE SHIPMENTS IN THE CONTEXT OF UNFOLDING EVENTS IN RAFAH. WE’VE BEEN VERY CLEAR, SENATOR, AS YOU KNOW FROM THE VERY BEGINNING, THAT THAT ISRAEL SHOULDN’T LAUNCH A MAJOR ATTACK IN IRAQ WITHOUT ACCOUNTING AND PROTECTING THE CIVILIANS THAT ARE IN THAT BATTLE SPACE. SENIOR WHITE HOUSE CORRESPONDENT SELINA WANG JOINS ME NOW. SO NO SURPRISE, THERE WERE PROTESTERS BEHIND THE SECRETARY THERE, SELINA. BUT LET’S JUST TALK ABOUT WHAT THIS MEANS NOW FOR THE FUTURE OF SHIPMENTS OF WEAPONS, WEAPONS ISRAEL. I MEAN, COULD THIS BE THE FIRST OF MANY PAUSES? >> KYRA, IT COULD BE. I MEAN, THE ADMINISTRATION OFFICIAL US THAT RIGHT NOW THEY ARE REVIEWING OTHER WEAPONS SHIPMENTS, COULD CONTINUE TO DELAY THEM. BUT NOTHING IS FINAL RIGHT NOW . I MEAN, WHAT WE’VE SEEN, THIS IS A HUGE POLICY SHIFT, KYRA. THIS IS THE FIRST TIME WE KNOW OF THAT THE U.S. HAS ACTUALLY WITHHELD ANY MILITARY AID TO ISRAEL SINCE THE ISRAEL GAZA WAR BEGAN. AND FROM WHAT WE THIS IS THE WITHHOLDING OF 3500 BOMBS LAST WEEK OVER FEARS THAT IT COULD BE USED IN RAFAH. THAT’S WHERE MORE THAN 1 MILLION CIVILIANS HAVE BEEN SHELTERING. AND OFFICIALS TELL US THEY’VE REALLY GOT NOWHERE ELSE TO GO. SO THIS IS PART OF THE BROADER PRESSURE CAMPAIGN FROM THE U.S. CONVINCE NETANYAHU NOT TO LAUNCH THAT FULL SCALE INVASION OF RAFAH. WE HAVEN’T SEEN IT YET, BUT OFFICIALS TELL ME THEY’RE VERY CONCERNED ABOUT COULD COME NEXT. AND IT’S JUST ANOTHER EXAMPLE OF THE GROWING RIFT BETWEEN THE U.S. AND ISRAEL OVER ITS CONDUCT IN GAZA. >> SO, SELINA, LET’S TALK ABOUT LAWMAKERS AND HOW THEY’RE REACTING TO HOLDING THIS AMMO. >> YEAH, WELL, KYRA, WE SEEING CRITICISM OF THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION FROM BOTH SIDES. ON ONE HAND, YOU HAVE REPUBLICANS WHO ARE VERY CRITICAL OF THIS MOVE. IN FACT, I WAS JUST SPEAKING TO SENATOR REPUBLICAN SENATOR JONI ERNST YESTERDAY, AND SHE SAID SHE HAD NO PRIOR WARNING FROM THE ADMINISTRATION THAT THEY WERE TO WITHHOLD THESE WEAPONS SHIPMENTS. AND SHE BELIEVES THAT IT UNDERMINES AMERICA’S COMMITMENT TO ISRAEL’S SECURITY. AND ALSO TODAY, IN FRONT OF LLOYD AUSTIN, THE SECRETARY OF DEFENSE. YOU HEARD REPUBLICAN SENATOR LINDSEY GRAHAM RIPPING INTO THIS DECISION. TAKE A LISTEN TO WHAT HE SAID HERE. >> IF WE STOP WEAPONS NECESSARY TO DESTROY THE ENEMIES OF THE STATE OF ISRAEL AT A TIME, GREAT PERIL, WE WILL PAY A PRICE. THIS IS OBSCENE. IT IS ABSURD. GIVE ISRAEL WHAT THEY NEED TO FIGHT THE WAR. >> CAN’T AFFORD TO LOSE. BUT, KYRA, YOU DID HAVE DEMOCRATIC SENATORS PUSHING AGAINST LINDSEY GRAHAM, INCLUDING SENATOR CHRIS MURPHY, WHO SAID THAT HISTORY SHOWS US THAT THE APPLICATION OF OVERWHELMING MILITARY FORCE CAN, IN FACT, GROW TERRORIST THREATS, NOT SHRINK THEM. AND, OF COURSE, KYRA, ON THE MORE PROGRESSIVE WING OF PRESIDENT BIDEN’S PARTY, WELL, THEIR CRITICISM IS THAT THIS WITHHOLDING OF SHIPMENTS IS TOO LITTLE, TOO LATE AFTER ALL OF THE DEATH AND DESTRUCTION WE’VE ALREADY SEEN IN GAZA. ALL RIGHT. OUR SELINA WANG AT THE WHITE HOUSE. ALINA, THANK YOU. WELL, BOMBS AND TALKS MAY BE AT A STANDSTILL RIGHT NOW. THE SUFFERING OF INNOCENT PEOPLE. MILLIONS OF PALESTINIANS ARE THE ONES WHO NEED A CEASEFIRE NOW MORE THAN EVER. THE U.N. AGAIN WARNING THAT THE GAZA STRIP COULD REACH TOTAL FAMINE IN JUST SIX WEEKS NOW. AND THAT’S WHY ORGANIZATIONS LIKE, UNICEF, ARE STILL ON THE GROUND ATTEMPTING TO BRING LIFESAVING SUPPORT TO HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF CHILDREN AND WOMEN WHO ARE FACING MALNOURISHMENT AND TRAUMA AT THIS VERY MOMENT. WE FIRST CAUGHT UP WITH TESTING SPOKESPERSON FOR UNICEF WHEN SHE WAS ON THE GROUND IN RAFAH LAST MONTH. SHE JOINS ME AGAIN, THIS TIME STATESIDE. SO TASKS U.N. HAS BEEN WARNING OF OF FAMINE FOR FOUR MONTHS NOW. YOU WERE THERE IN RAFAH. LET’S TALK ABOUT THE OPTIONS THAT THESE PALESTINIANS HAVE. DO THEY REALLY HAVE OPTIONS AND HOW MUCH LONGER IS THIS ACTUALLY SUSTAINABLE? WELL, LOOK, WE WE KNOW THAT PEOPLE HAVE OPTIONS. BUT THE QUESTION IS, ARE THOSE OPTIONS FEASIBLE AND ARE THEY SAFE? AND ANSWER TO THAT IS NO. WE KNOW THAT PEOPLE ARE BEING ENCOURAGED TO LEAVE RAFAH, BUT THERE REALLY IS NO GOOD PLACE FOR THEM TO GO. THERE IS TO THE NORTH HAVE BEEN DECIMATED BY THE FIGHTING I WAS THERE AND WAS SHOCKED BY THE LEVEL OF DESTRUCTION IN PLACES LIKE KHAN YUNIS WHERE BUILDINGS JUST AND BASICALLY AND THERE’S UNEXPLODED ORDNANCE THAT PEOPLE TO BE AWARE OF. AND SO IT’S A VERY DANGEROUS PLACE. OTHER THAN THAT, PEOPLE ARE BEING ENCOURAGED TO MOVE CLOSER TO THE COAST, A SO-CALLED HUMANITARIAN ZONE, PULL DOWN OAC, AND THERE WE KNOW THAT THERE’S NO BASIC SERVICES. IT’S ESSENTIALLY A SAND DUNES. SO PEOPLE’S ARE REALLY LIMITED AND AS A RESULT, PEOPLE ARE TERRIFIED. >> SO A MILLION PLUS CIVILIANS ARE CURRENTLY SEEKING IN RAFAH. WE’VE TALKED ABOUT THIS NUMBER AND OVER AND OVER AND, OVER AGAIN, AND THEY’VE BEEN TOLD TO EVACUATE TO PLACES LIKE AL MOUSAWI, ALSO KHAN YUNIS. THAT’S FURTHER NORTH, WHERE ISRAEL SAYS HUMANITARIAN AID, WATER, FOOD, MEDICAL EQUIPMENT AND SHELTER WILL ALL BE PROVIDED. IS THAT TRUE AND WHAT ARE THOSE CONDITIONS LIKE? >> SO WE’RE NOT SEEING EVIDENCE YET OF MASS SUPPORT AND SERVICES FOR THE PEOPLE WHO ARE BEING DISPLACED. WE HAVE A CONSISTENT LEAD FOR THE LAST SEVEN MONTHS. NOT ONLY HAS THAT NOT BEEN PROVIDED, BUT ALSO OUR ABILITY TO DELIVER. THAT HAS BEEN RESTRICTED AT EVERY TURN. SO, YOU KNOW, THIS CONTINUES TO BE A CHALLENGE AND CHILDREN IN GAZA ARE THE ONES SUFFERING AS A RESULT OF THE CONDITIONS THEY’RE LIVING IN, IN MAKESHIFT SHELTERS ARE JUST ABYSMAL. YOU REALLY HAVE TO SEE IT TO BELIEVE IT. PEOPLE ARE CRAMMED INTO VERY SMALL TENTS. THE LINES FOR TOILETS IS INCREDIBLY. AND SO PEOPLE HAVE TO RESORT TO OTHER OPTIONS THAT ARE UNSANITARY AND IT CREATES DISEASE THAT EXACERBATES MALNUTRITION. SO THESE ARE REALLY DEADLY CYCLES THAT WE’RE TALKING ABOUT FOR CHILDREN. >> SO CLEARLY, WE NEED TO FACT CHECK WHAT ISRAEL IS TELLING. IT’S A DIFFERENT STORY FROM WHAT YOU’VE SEEN THERE ON THE GROUND AND YOU’RE NONPARTISAN. SO LET’S TALK ABOUT THE AID FOR THAT WAS JUST LOADED ON THIS SHIP IN CYPRUS TODAY FOR EXPECTED TO BE THE FIRST AID DELIVERED TO THAT NEWLY BUILT ALONG THE GAZA STRIP. WHAT WILL BE ON THAT SHIP? DO THINK TESTS AND WHERE WILL ALL THOSE GO FIRST AND HOW WILL IT BE DISTRIBUTED? >> YEAH, LOOK, WE CAN WE CAN ONLY HOPE THAT THAT SHIP CONTAIN LIFESAVING SUPPLIES THAT NOT ONLY REACHED THE SHORE, BUT THEN ABLE BE SAFELY DISTRIBUTED TO THE VULNERABLE PEOPLE ACROSS THE GAZA STRIP. AND IT’S TAKEN ON AN EXTRA LEVEL OF IMPORTANCE BECAUSE WITH WHAT IS HAPPENING IN RAFAH, THE TWO KEY LAND CROSSINGS, RAFAH AND KAREEM SHALOM, HAVE BEEN CLOSED SINCE SUNDAY, AND SO WE HAVEN’T BEEN TO GET IN ANY AID SINCE SUNDAY, INCLUDING FUEL, WHICH IS A TRAGEDY BECAUSE FUEL IS THE THING THAT KEEPS EVERYTHING MOVING IN GAZA, INCLUDING THE HOSPITALS AND THE WATER PLANTS AND OUR DELIVERY TRUCKS . SO WE REALLY NEED TO GET MORE AID INTO THE GAZA STRIP, BUT THEN MAKE SURE THAT WE CAN DISTRIBUTE IT AS WELL IN THESE REALLY DANGEROUS AND DIFFICULT CONDITIONS. >> YOU KNOW, I DEFINITELY BEFORE WE GO, I WANT TO JUST TALK ABOUT DESPITE THE DEVASTATION, I KNOW WHAT YOU AND PEOPLE LIKE JAMES ELDER AS WELL, UNICEF DO FOR THESE PALESTINIAN CHILDREN. AND THERE’S STILL TRYING TO FIND WAYS TO BE POSITIVE, TO SMILE, TO JUST BE KIDS. AND YOU HAVE BEEN THERE WHEN THEY’VE BEEN FLYING KITES. THEY’VE BEEN IN THE OPEN FIELDS CREATING MAKESHIFT SWINGS. I LOVE IT WHEN YOU ARE ABLE TO DOCUMENT THESE MOMENTS EVEN ARTS AND CRAFTS AND MAKING THINGS TO DISTRACT THEMSELVES FROM WHAT’S GOING ON. IT’S LIKE THEY ARE STILL FINDING THE HUMANITY THROUGH ALL THIS HEARTBREAK. AND IT’S JUST IT REALLY THIS IS LIKE THIS LOOKS LIKE A WHOLE DIFFERENT SITUATION OCEAN THAN WHAT IS REALLY GOING ON. IT’S TO SEE THAT THEY CAN STILL BE KIDS. >> YEAH. >> AND IT’S SO IMPORTANT THAT WE REMEMBER THAT, I THINK, BECAUSE, YOU KNOW WE OFTEN TALK ABOUT THE HOSTILITIES AND THE NEGATIVE IMPACTS THAT. BUT AT THE END OF THE DAY, WE’RE TALKING ABOUT CHILDREN, HUNDRED THOUSAND OF THEM SEEKING SHELTER IN RAFAH AND JUST WANT TO BE KIDS, THEN THEY DON’T UNDERSTAND REALLY WHAT’S HAPPENING AROUND THEM. THEY WANT TO PLAY AND LAUGH WITH THEIR FRIENDS. THEY MISS GOING TO SCHOOL FOR THE LAST SEVEN MONTHS. SO IT’S AN IMPORTANT FACT FOR US TO REMEMBER THAT RAFAH REALLY IS A CITY OF CHILDREN. AND IMAGES LIKE THIS, I THINK ARE IMPORTANT FOR US TO SEE, TO REALLY DRIVE THAT HOME AND KEEP IN MIND THAT AT THE END OF THE DAY, THESE KIDS JUST WANT PEACE AND THEY DESERVE IT AND THEY DESERVE THESE MOMENTS AND THEY ALSO DESERVE TO BE BACK IN SCHOOL. TESSA INGRAM, APPRECIATE EVERYTHING THAT YOU DO. THANK YOU. SO BACK HERE AT HOME, TEARING DOWN ENCAMPMENTS AND PUTTING PROTESTERS UNDER ARREST. NEW CLASHES TODAY BETWEEN POLICE AND DEMONSTRATIONS, COLLEGE OR DEMONSTRATORS, RATHER, ON COLLEGE CAMPUSES IN D.C. YOU’RE ACTUALLY SEEING THE POLICE PEPPER SPRAYING THE PROTESTERS THERE AND HAVING TO BREAK AN ENCAMPMENT AT GEORGE WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY. AT LEAST 33 PEOPLE WERE ARRESTED THERE OVERNIGHT. AND THEN IN NEW YORK CITY, POLICE WERE BREAKING UP AN ENCAMPMENT AT THE FASHION INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY. ROUGHLY 50 PEOPLE THERE WERE ARRESTED. OUR PHIL LIPOFF IS FOLLOWING ALL THE LATEST DEVELOPMENTS FROM CAMPUS TO CAMPUS. >> WHERE SHOULD WE START? GW YEAH. GW A GOOD PLACE TO START, KYRA. >> WHAT HAPPENED THERE HAPPENED IN THE EARLY MORNING TODAY. POLICE IN D.C. MOVED IN TO CLEAR OUT AN ENCAMPMENT AS WE’VE SEEN AT SO MANY OTHER COLLEGES. THE CAMPUS HAS BEEN THERE FOR A WEEK. THERE WAS A SKIRMISH, AS YOU CAN SEE HERE IN THE END, 33 PEOPLE, AS YOU MENTIONED, WERE ARRESTED. WHAT’S INTERESTING ABOUT THIS INCIDENT, G.W., IT HAPPENED HOURS BEFORE WASHINGTON. MURIEL BOWSER AND HER POLICE CHIEF WERE SCHEDULED TO TESTIFY IN FRONT OF A CONGRESSIONAL COMMITTEE INVESTIGATING THE RESPONSE TO ENCAMPMENT THAT’S BEEN THERE FOR MORE THAN A WEEK. WHEN HOUSE OVERSIGHT CHAIR JAMES COLMER, A REPUBLICAN FROM KENTUCKY, HEARD ABOUT THE POLICE ACTION EARLY THIS MORNING, HE ANNOUNCED THE HEARING WAS CANCELED. AND ACTUALLY TOOK CREDIT FOR THE ACTION, SAYING THAT THE THREAT OF A HEARING FORCED POLICE AND THE MAYOR TO MOVE IN. >> SO YORK CITY HAS BEEN THE EPICENTER OF THESE PROTESTS, AS YOU AND I HAVE BEEN REPORTING FOR WEEKS NOW. SPECIFICALLY, COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY. BUT WITH THE FINAL ENCAMPMENT BROKEN UP AT NEW YORK’S FASHION INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY, IS THERE A SENSE THAT THIS COULD MAYBE BE WRAPPING UP, AT LEAST FOR NOW? >> THAT’S HARD TO SAY, KYRA, BECAUSE MANY OF THE PROTESTERS WE SPOKE TO AT ALL OF THESE ENCAMPMENTS AROUND THE NEW YORK CITY, AT LEAST THEY SAY THEY’RE NOT GOING TO STOP PROTESTING UNTIL THERE IS CEASE FIRE. SO WE’LL HAVE TO SEE WHAT HAPPENS WITH ANY KIND OF CEASE FIRE DEAL THAT HAMAS AND ISRAEL IS WORKING ON OR THE WAR COMING TO AN END. AND IN ANY OTHER WAY. AS FOR FIGHT, LAST NIGHT, AS YOU CAN SEE, NYPD OFFICERS HELMETS AND RIOT GEAR, THEY WERE CARRYING ZIP TIES, GAVE THE ORDER CLEAR OUT THE ENCAMPMENTS OR FACE ARREST. >> TEN LATER AFTER THAT ORDER. THIS THEY MOVED IN AND MADE DOZENS OF ARRESTS. THEY HAVE THAT CAMPUS CLEARED, OR AT LEAST THE ENCAMPMENT PART OF THAT CAMPUS CLEARED IN ABOUT 30 MINUTES OR SO. >> SO WHETHER IT STOPS IT OR NOT, KYRA, WE’LL HAVE TO SEE. THERE’S DEFINITELY BEEN PROTESTING OUTSIDE CAMPUSES, TOO. WE’VE SEEN THAT AT NYU. NOW THAT THE ENCAMPMENTS ARE CLEARED ON CAMPUS. >> ALL RIGHT, PHIL LIPOFF APPRECIATE YOU. >> THANKS SO MUCH. COMING UP, DONALD TRUMP. HE WON THE INDIANA PRIMARY LAST NIGHT, BUT NOT ALL THE NUMBERS POINT TO FUTURE SUCCESS. WE’LL NEXT WHENEVER NEWS WE ARE HERE IN ISRAEL, A NATION AT WAR, THAT BRUTAL SURPRISE ATTACK BY HAMAS ON THE GROUND IN UKRAINE REPORTING FROM LEWISTON, MAINE, THE SCENE OF A HORRIFIC MASS SHOOTING. >> ABC NEWS LIVE IS RIGHT THERE EVERYWHERE FROM THE SCENE OF THAT DEADLY MISSILE STRIKE. THE NEED FOR UKRAINE REPORTING FROM THE EARTHQUAKE. TURKEY IN ROLLING FORTH THIS TORNADO TORE THROUGH THIS LITTLE FROM THE MOST DEVASTATING DISASTER IN HAWAII FROM CHARLESTON, SOUTH CAROLINA, ON THE 2024 CAMPAIGN TRAIL IN ICELAND. LET’S GO TRAVELING WITH THE PRESIDENT IN MEXICO CITY. WHEREVER THE IS ON THE FRONT LINES FROM SOUTHERN ISRAEL, OUTSIDE THE GAZA STRIP IN, BEIRUT FROM THE FBI RECORDING FOR THE NURSES ON THE PICKET LINE HERE AT TEN DOWNING STREET IN LONDON. STREAMING LIVE TO YOU. WHEREVER THE STORY IS, WHEREVER THE STORY IS, WHEREVER THE STORY IS GOING TO TAKE YOU THERE, WE’RE STREAMING ABC NEWS LIVE, ABC NEWS LIVE, WE’RE STREAMING ABC NEWS LIVE, ABC NEWS LIVE STREAMING FREE AMERICA’S NUMBER ONE STREAMING NEWS FRIDAY NIGHT ,TWO TEENAGERS LEFT TO GO TO A BIRTHDAY PARTY BUT NEVER REACHED THEIR DESTINATION BUT THEN WERE SHOT EXECUTION STYLE. I COULD HEAR MY HEART FEELING A COLD CASE THAT’S POSSIBLY BEEN CRACKED. THE HELP OF DNA AND PRETTY MUCH ALL HELL BREAKS LOOSE. A MINISTER CHARGED WITH MURDER. WERE YOU WORRIED THAT THIS BLACK MAN, YOUR HUSBAND, BEING ACCUSED OF MURDERING TWO WHITE TEENAGE GIRLS. MAYBE YOU WERE LIVING WITH SOMEBODY YOU JUST DIDN’T KNOW? THE NEW 2024 NIGHT ON ABC. >> GLAD YOU’RE STREAMING WITH US. WELL, HE MAY NOT BE SITTING IN COURTROOM ACROSS FROM A WOMAN DESCRIBING PRETTY LURID DETAILS ABOUT THEIR ALLEGED AFFAIR. BUT DONALD TRUMP’S LEGAL ISSUES ARE STILL FRONT CENTER TODAY. THE JUDGE IN THE FORMER PRESIDENT’S FLORIDA DOCUMENTS CASE JUST DELAYED THAT TRIAL INDEFINITELY. AND A GEORGIA APPEALS COURT DISHING OUT A NEW TWIST IN HIS ELECTION INTERFERENCE CASE. THE COURT SAYS IT WILL HEAR TRUMP’S APPEAL ON A RULING ALLOWED DE FANI WILLIS TO STAY ON THE CASE. TRUMP’S TEAM HAS BEEN THAT WILLIS’S RELATIONSHIP WITH FORMER SPECIAL PROSECUTOR NATHAN WADE SHOULD BAR HER. THAT MOVE MAY SIGNIFICANTLY DELAY THE CASE WITH ELECTION DAY JUST SIX MONTHS AWAY. NOW LET’S BRING IN OUR INVESTIGATIVE OLIVIA RUBIN TO BREAK IT ALL DOWN. >> SO, OLIVIA, HOW BIG OF A WIN THIS FOR TRUMP AND AT LEAST IN TERMS OF HIS GEORGIA CASE? IT’S HUGE WIN, CAROL, BECAUSE REMEMBER WHAT DONALD TRUMP WANTS TO DO, DELAY THESE CASES UNTIL AFTER THE 2024 PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION. AND SO THINK ABOUT WHAT HE HAS BEEN ABLE TO DO IN THIS CASE, ALONG WITH A NUMBER OF OTHER DEFENDANTS. THIS ACTUALLY ISN’T AN ISSUE THAT HAS TO DO WITH THE MERITS OF THE IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH HIS ALLEGED EFFORTS TO OVERTURN THE 2020 ELECTION. WHAT IT HAS TO DO IS ELECTORAL TOWNSHIP. THERE WAS A RELATIONSHIP THAT DID OCCUR BETWEEN THE PROSECUTOR THAT CHARGED HIM. SO THEY HAVE FOUND A PERSONAL ISSUE THAT THEY HAVE BEEN ABLE TO TAKE INTO SOMETHING THAT COULD POTENTIALLY DERAIL THE ENTIRE CASE. SO REALLY THE QUESTION NOW BECOMES HOW LONG THIS DELAY GOING TO BE? BECAUSE REMEMBER, THE APPEALS COURT AGREEING, HEAR THE DISQUALIFICATION ISSUE DOES NOT AUTOMATICALLY STAY. IT. AND THE JUDGE WHO OVERSEES THIS CASE, SCOTT MCCARTHY, HAS VOWED TO KEEP IT GOING EVEN IF THE APPEALS COURT TAKES IT UP. >> BUT WHAT TRUMP AND HIS CO-DEFENDANTS CAN DO NOW IS GO RIGHT TO THE APPEALS COURT AND ASK FOR THAT STAY. AND THE QUESTION IS, WILL THEY GET IT. SO THIS WHOLE PROCESS COULD TAKE UP TO SIX MONTHS. SO IF THEY GET THIS DAY, IT TAKES SIX MONTHS TO GET A RULING ON THIS. YOU’RE ALREADY AT THE ELECTION AND THERE IS NO WAY THAT IT IS GOING TO HAPPEN. SO A HUGE WIN FOR DONALD TRUMP IS SOMETHING THAT HE HAS TO BE PLEASED ABOUT TODAY. SO WHAT’S THE LIKELIHOOD WILL ACTUALLY SEE FANI WILLIS REMOVED FROM THIS CASE? WELL, IT HOW YOU KNOW, THE APPEALS COURT VIEWS MCAFEE’S RULING HE DID FIND THAT THERE WAS AN APPEARANCE OF CONFLICT OF INTEREST. HE DIDN’T FIND AN ACTUAL CONFLICT OF INTEREST. AND WHAT DONALD TRUMP’S TEAM HAS SAID WAS BECAUSE HE FOUND THE APPEARANCE GEORGIA LAW SHOULD HAVE REQUIRED FANI WILLIS TO BE REMOVED. THEY SAID THAT HE USED SORT OF AN INCORRECT LEGAL STANDARD. SO THAT IS TO BE ONE OF THE ISSUES BEFORE THE COURT. WE HAVEN’T SEEN DONALD TRUMP’S FULL BRIEFING YET THERE. BUT THE QUESTION REALLY ISN’T AT THE MOMENT, WILL SHE BE REMOVED? THE QUESTION REALLY IS, DOES THE CASE EVEN HAPPEN. >> ALL RIGHT, LIBYA, RUBIN, THANKS SO MUCH. MUCH CALMER DAY FOR US TODAY. >> ALL RIGHT. >> SO NIKKI HALEY IS EARNING THE TITLE THE LAZARUS OF 2024 AND SHOWING DONALD TRUMP HIS GRIP ON THE REPUBLICAN PARTY ISN’T AS TIGHT AS HE MIGHT HAVE THOUGHT. HALEY ACTUALLY DELIVERING A WARNING SIGN FOR THE FORMER PRESIDENT IN LAST NIGHT’S REPUBLICAN PRIMARY IN INDIANA. WHILE TRUMP DID WIN, FORMER CANDIDATE NIKKI HALEY GRABBED 22% OF THE VOTE, EVEN THOUGH SHE DROPPED OUT OF THE RACE IN MARCH. AND THIS ISN’T THE FIRST TIME THE FORMER SOUTH CAROLINA GOVERNOR HAS GATHERED VOTES EXITING THE RACE. HALEY GOT A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF VOTES IN PRIMARIES PENNSYLVANIA, WISCONSIN, NEW YORK, WASHINGTON, OHIO AND ARIZONA. OUR DEPUTY POLITICAL DIRECTOR, AVERI HARPER, JOINING ME NOW FOR WHAT THIS COULD MEAN, MAYBE FOR THE GENERAL ELECTION. AVERY. WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT THESE RECENT RESULTS? I MEAN, IS IT A SIGNAL FOR NOVEMBER? AND IS THIS VOTE AGAINST TRUMP GOING TO BECOME POSSIBLY A PATTERN? >> WELL, IT’S SOMETHING THAT WE’VE SEEN IN STATES SINCE NIKKI HALEY HAS DROPPED OUT AND IT REPRESENTS VULNERABILITY FOR TRUMP HEADING INTO NOVEMBER. I THINK PARTICULARLY IN SOME OF THESE BATTLEGROUND STATES, IT COULD REPRESENT SOME TROUBLE . TRUMP. BUT THERE IS STILL A SIZABLE PORTION OF REPUBLICAN VOTERS THAT ARE LOOKING FOR AND THOSE ARE THE FOLKS WHO ARE STILL VOTING FOR NIKKI HALEY, DESPITE THE FACT SHE’S LONG BEEN OUT OF THIS RACE. >> SO THESE VOTERS COULD A COUPLE OF THINGS ON ELECTION DAY. THEY COULD STAY HOME. THEY COULD IT AND VOTE FOR TRUMP. THEY COULD FLIP FOR BIDEN OR THESE THE KIND OF VOTERS WHO MIGHT JUST GO FOR THIRD PARTY CANDIDATES LIKE, YOU KNOW, RFK JR. WELL, ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE. AND OF COURSE, YES, THEY COULD GO FOR AN RFK JR OR A CORNEL WEST OR A JILL STEIN. BUT THOSE OPTIONS HAVE TO BE ON THE BALLOT IN THEIR IN ORDER FOR THEM TO BE AN ALTERNATIVE TO TRUMP FOR SOME OF THESE REPUBLICAN VOTERS WHO MIGHT BE LOOKING ELSEWHERE.

HOLD THE AMMO. THE U.S. PAUSING THAT SHIPMENT OF BOMBS EARMARKED ISRAEL AS AN INVASION OF RAFAH AND THE GAZA STRIP LOOMS. THE ON THAT AND CEASE FIRE TALKS THIS HOUR. AND NIKKI RISING, HER PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN DEAD FOR MONTHS UNTIL NOW. THE FORMER REPUBLICAN CONTENDER JUST GOT MORE THAN 20% OF THE VOTE IN INDIANA’S PRIMARY TROUBLE FOR TRUMP IN NOVEMBER. >> STAY TUNED. GOOD AFTERNOON, EVERYONE. I’M KYRA PHILLIPS. OUR TOP STORY THIS HOUR IS EXTREME WEATHER AND VIOLENT TORNADO OUTBREAK ACROSS SEVERAL STATES. MICHIGAN HIT ESPECIALLY HARD. GOVERNOR GRETCHEN WHITMER THERE DECLARING A STATE OF EMERGENCY. THE SITUATION BAD. THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ALSO ISSUING ITS FIRST EVER TORNADO EMERGENCY. AT LEAST TWO TWISTERS TOUCHING DOWN IN THE OF PORTAGE. THIS VIDEO SHOWING MAJOR DAMAGE TO A FEDEX FACILITY. >> LEAST 50 PEOPLE THERE INSIDE WHEN THE STORM HIT. TAKE A LISTEN. >> IN FACT, 67 NOW OPERATIONAL FOR AN ENTIRE BUILDING COLLAPSE ,BRAND BUILDING. THIS IS JUST JUST GOT FINISHED ABOUT 2 TO 3 YEARS OR SO TO GET A TOTAL COLLAPSE. >> SEVERE STORMS ALSO CAUSING MASS DESTRUCTION AT, A MOBILE PARK HOME IN KALAMAZOO. A LOT OF HOMES THERE JUST FLIPPED UPSIDE DOWN OR JUST SIMPLY LEFT IN RUINS. MULTIPLE PEOPLE HURT. A LOT OF PEOPLE WAKING UP TO THE EXTENT OF THE DAMAGE THIS MORNING. >> LEADING US OFF THIS HOUR. OUR EXTREME WEATHER TEAM RIGHT THERE IN THE STORM ZONE TRACKING THE FORECAST FOR US. LET’S START WITH YOU, ALEX PRESHA. IN THE HARDEST HIT AREA OF PORTAGE, MICHIGAN, SOUTH OF GRAND RAPIDS. WHAT’S THE SITUATION LIKE THIS HOUR? >> HEY, HERE. SO WE’RE LESS THAN HALF A MILE FROM THAT FEDEX THAT WAS COMPLETELY DESTROYED. AND YOU’RE SEEING MUCH OF THAT DESTRUCTION HERE IN THIS NEIGHBORHOOD THAT ACTUALLY USED TO BE A GARAGE. THE HOMEOWNER HERE TELLS THAT, BELIEVE IT OR NOT, THERE’S A CAR BURIED UNDERNEATH OF THI AND WE’VE SEEN SCENES LIKE THIS ALL OVER THIS COMMUNITY AS. PEOPLE ARE TRYING TO TO TO CLEAN UP NOW. AND SO I’M GOING TO PAN OVER HERE AND YOU SEE THIS CLEANUP EFFORT WELL UNDERWAY. I MEAN, WE’VE GOT WOOD CHIPPERS, WE’VE GOT A LOG GRABBERS AND DUMP TRUCKS BROUGHT IN AS THEY’RE TRYING TO GET SOME OF THESE TREES THAT FELL DURING THE PATH OF THIS STORM OUT OF THE ROAD. A BIG, BIG, BIG EMPHASIS THIS MORNING TO GET SOME OF THIS HEAVY EQUIPMENT IN WAS GETTING UP THOSE POWER LINES. SO WE’VE SEEN THEY WERE ABLE TO ACTUALLY DO A LOT OF THAT. AND NOW YOU’RE HEARING THE CHAINSAWS THERE IN THE BACKGROUND. BUT WHAT’S REMARKABLE ABOUT THIS IS THERE’S MUCH DESTRUCTION THAT WE SAW DURING THIS STORM. THE NUMBER OF INJURIES ARE RELATIVELY FOR THIS COMMUNITY. PEOPLE TALKING ABOUT HOW THEY WEATHERED THE STORM OVERNIGHT. >> TAKE A LISTEN. >> WELL, I’M FRAGMENTS STRUGGLING RIGHT NOW. SO REALLY, I WAS JUST THINKING ABOUT MY BABY THE WHOLE BACK WALL OF THE SALON WAS REMOVED FROM THE BATHROOM, WAS LIKE COMPLETELY EXPOSED. AND WE’VE HEARD ANECDOTES LIKE THAT OVER AND OVER. PEOPLE THAT HAVE HIT OUT IN THE MIDDLE OF THEIR HOME OR, IN THE BASEMENT OF THE LIBRARY, SEEKING SHELTER WHEREVER THEY COULD. IT WORKED BECAUSE RELATIVELY A LOW NUMBER OF INJURIES COMPARED TO JUST THE SHEER AMOUNT OF DAMAGE YOU’RE SEEING HERE KYRA. >> ALL RIGHT. SO LET’S TAKE IT OVER NOW TO OUR METEOROLOGIST, MELISSA GRIFFIN. 57 MILLION PEOPLE IN THE TORNADO STORM ZONE. SO WHAT’S THE LATEST TRACK? WELL, KYRA, WE’VE SEEN THOSE INCREDIBLE IMAGES THERE IN MICHIGAN WHERE IS AND LIKE YOU MENTIONED, THAT FIRST TORNADO EMERGENCY ON RECORD FOR THE STATE OF MICHIGAN WAS ISSUED LAST NIGHT. AND UNFORTUNATELY, THE WEATHER IS NOT OVER YET BECAUSE I’M TRACKING MORE TORNADO WATCHES, MORE TORNADO WARNINGS FOR THE MIDWEST. >> TAKE A LOOK AT THIS. MISSOURI, A LOT OF STATE IN IT. AND ANOTHER TORNADO WATCH JUST ISSUED FOR THE WESTERN PART OF THE STATE. BUT THIS ONE STRETCHES ALL THE WAY INTO SOUTHERN ILLINOIS AND KENTUCKY CARBONDALE AND PADUCAH. YOU’RE INCLUDED IN THAT AS THAT LINE. EXTREME STORMS STARTS FIRING UP LATER THIS AFTERNOON. BUT NOT JUST THE TORNADO WATCH. WE’RE ALSO WATCHING FOR FLASH FLOODING. WE HAVE SEVERE WATCHES ISSUED AS FAR EAST AS CHARLOTTE, NORTH CAROLINA AND THESE FLOOD WATCHES INTO CINCINNATI THROUGH TOMORROW MORNING BECAUSE THESE STORMS GOING TO ALSO PRODUCE VERY HEAVY RAIN. AND YOU CAN SEE IT HERE IN THE TIMING. LOOK AT THOSE BRIGHT PINKS AND REDS LIT UP THROUGH TENNESSEE, DOWN TO THE SOUTHEAST. AND LOOK AT THIS WIDE AREA FOR SEVERE WEATHER. LIKE YOU SAID, 57 MILLION AMERICANS IN THIS AREA FROM CHARLESTON, VIRGINIA, TO LOUISVILLE, ALL THE WAY DOWN TO DALLAS. BUT IT’S THIS ENHANCED. IT’S THE AREA HIGHLIGHTED IN ORANGE. THAT’S WHERE WE COULD SEE THE STRONG TORNADOES LATER THIS AFTERNOON INTO THE EVENING. >> AND THE RED, THAT’S SECOND HIGHEST LEVEL FOR SEVERE WEATHER. THIS IS FOR GIANT HAIL TALKING SOFTBALL, UP TO GRAPEFRUIT SIZED HAIL AND WIND DAMAGE GUSTS REACH 80 MILES PER HOUR FROM SOUTHERN MISSOURI RIGHT ACROSS THROUGH PADUCAH, KENTUCKY, EVEN INCLUDING NASHVILLE, RIGHT INTO THE OVERNIGHT HOURS. AND THIS WHOLE SYSTEM, IT PUSHES TOWARDS THE EAST COAST AS WE HEAD INTO THURSDAY STRETCHING ALL THE WAY DOWN TO THE GULF COAST, INCLUDING PLACES LIKE MOBILE, ALABAMA, THROUGH DALLAS. THEY COULD SEE GIANT HAIL THROUGH TOMORROW AFTERNOON AND EVENING. SO REALLY JUST SUCH A WIDESPREAD SEVERE WEATHER RISK RIGHT THROUGH THE KYRA. >> ALL RIGHT, ALEX PRESHA. MELISSA GRIFFIN, THANK YOU BOTH SO MUCH HOLDING AMMO, BUT SENDING A STRONG TO ISRAEL . DEFENSE SECRETARY LLOYD AUSTIN NOW CONFIRMING THAT THE U.S. PAUSING A WEAPONS SHIPMENT FOR THE COUNTRY, INCLUDING SOME 3500 BOMBS. THIS IS THE FIRST TIME THAT WE KNOW OF THAT THE U.S. HAS DENIED ISRAEL ACCESS TO MILITARY AID TO TRY AND INFLUENCE THIS WAR. THE CONCERN IS THAT THESE WEAPONS WOULD BE USED IN RAFAH, THE TOWN IN ISRAEL’S CROSSHAIRS NOW, AS MORE THAN A MILLION PALESTINIAN CIVILIANS ARE STILL CURRENTLY SEEKING REFUGE THERE. PRESIDENT BIDEN URGENTLY WARNING ISRAEL NOT TO INVADE FOR THE LAST FEW WEEKS NOW, BUT SO FAR, THOSE WARNINGS HAVE BEEN COMPLETELY THE DEFENSE SECRETARY LAYING OUT THE U.S. POSITION DURING AN EXCHANGE WITH EARLIER TODAY. >> WE ARE CURRENTLY REVIEWING NEAR TERM SECURITY ASSISTANCE SHIPMENTS IN A CONTEXT OF UNFOLDING EVENTS IN RAFAH. WE’VE BEEN VERY CLEAR, SENATOR, AS YOU KNOW FROM THE VERY BEGINNING, THAT THAT ISRAEL SHOULDN’T LAUNCH A MAJOR ATTACK IN IRAQ WITHOUT ACCOUNTING FOR AN THE CIVILIANS THAT ARE IN THAT BATTLE SPACE. >> SENIOR WHITE HOUSE CORRESPONDENT SELINA WANG JOINING ME NOW. SO NO SURPRISE THERE WERE PROTESTERS BEHIND THE SECRETARY THERE, SELINA BUT LET’S JUST TALK ABOUT WHAT THIS MEANS NOW FOR THE FUTURE OF SHIPMENTS OF WEAPONS, WEAPONS TO ISRAEL. I MEAN, COULD THIS BE THE FIRST OF MANY PAUSES? >> KYRA, IT COULD BE I MEAN, THE ADMINISTRATION OFFICIAL TELLING US THAT RIGHT NOW THEY ARE REVIEWING OTHER WEAPONS SHIPMENTS. THEY COULD CONTINUE TO DELAY THEM, BUT NOTHING IS FINAL RIGHT NOW. I MEAN, WHAT WE’VE SEEN, THIS IS A HUGE POLICY SHIFT. THIS IS THE FIRST TIME WE KNOW OF THAT THE U.S. HAS ACTUALLY WITHHELD ANY MILITARY AID TO ISRAEL SINCE THE ISRAEL GAZA WAR BEGAN. AND FROM WHAT WE KNOW, THIS IS THE WITHHOLDING OF 3500 BOMBS LAST WEEK OVER FEARS THAT IT COULD BE USED IN RAFAH. THAT’S WHERE THAN 1 MILLION CIVILIANS HAVE BEEN SHELTERING. AND OFFICIALS TELL US THEY REALLY GOT NOWHERE ELSE TO GO. SO THIS IS PART OF THE BROADER PRESSURE CAMPAIGN FROM THE U.S. TO CONVINCE NETANYAHU NOT TO LAUNCH THAT FULL SCALE OF RAFAH. WE HAVEN’T SEEN IT YET, BUT OFFICIALS TELL ME THEY’RE VERY ABOUT WHAT COULD COME NEXT. AND IT’S JUST ANOTHER EXAMPLE OF THE GROWING RIFT BETWEEN THE U.S. AND ISRAEL OVER ITS CONDUCT IN GAZA. SO, SELINA, LET’S TALK ABOUT LAWMAKERS AND HOW THEY’RE REACTING TO HOLDING THIS AMMO. YEAH, WELL, KYRA, WE ARE SEEING CRITICISM OF THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION FROM BOTH SIDES. ON ONE HAND, YOU HAVE REPUBLICANS WHO ARE VERY CRITICAL OF THIS MOVE. FACT, I WAS JUST SPEAKING TO SENATOR REPUBLICAN SENATOR JONI ERNST YESTERDAY AND. SHE SAID SHE HAD NO PRIOR WARNING FROM THE ADMINISTRATION THAT THEY WERE GOING TO WITHHOLD THESE WEAPONS SHIPMENTS, THAT SHE BELIEVES THAT IT UNDERMINES AMERICA’S COMMITMENT TO ISRAEL’S SECURITY. AND ALSO TODAY IN FRONT OF LLOYD AUSTIN, THE SECRETARY OF DEFENSE, YOU HEARD REPUBLICAN SENATOR LINDSEY GRAHAM RIPPING INTO THIS DECISION. TAKE A LISTEN TO WHAT HE SAID HERE. >> IF WE STOP WEAPONS NECESSARY TO DESTROY THE ENEMIES OF THE STATE OF ISRAEL AT A TIME, GREAT PERIL, WE WILL PAY A PRICE. THIS IS OBSCENE. IT IS ABSURD. GIVE ISRAEL WHAT THEY NEED TO FIGHT THE WAR. >> THEY CAN’T AFFORD TO LOSE. BUT HERE YOU DID HAVE DEMOCRATIC SENATORS PUSHING BACK AGAINST LINDSEY GRAHAM, INCLUDING SENATOR CHRIS MURPHY, WHO SAID THAT HISTORY SHOWS US THAT THE APPLICATION OF OVERWHELMING MILITARY CAN, IN FACT, GROW TERRORIST THREATS, NOT SHRINK THEM. AND OF COURSE, KYRA, ON THE MORE PROGRESSIVE WING OF PRESIDENT BIDEN’S PARTY, THEIR CRITICISM IS THAT THIS WITHHOLDING OF SHIPMENTS IS TOO LITTLE, TOO LATE. AFTER ALL OF THE DEATH AND DESTRUCTION WE’VE ALREADY SEEN IN GAZA. ALL OUR SELINA WANG AT THE WHITE HOUSE. DANA, THANK YOU. WHILE BOMBS AND TALKS MAY BE AT A STANDSTILL RIGHT NOW, THE SUFFERING OF INNOCENT PEOPLE CONTINUES. MILLIONS OF PALESTINIANS ARE THE ONES WHO NEED A CEASEFIRE NOW. MORE THAN EVER. THE U.N. AGAIN WARNING THAT THE GAZA STRIP COULD REACH TOTAL FAMINE IN JUST SIX WEEKS NOW. AND THAT’S WHY ORGANIZATIONS LIKE UNICEF ARE STILL ON THE GROUND ATTEMPTING TO BRING LIFESAVING SUPPORT TO HUNDREDS, THOUSANDS OF CHILDREN AND WOMEN WHO ARE FACING MALNOURISHMENT AND TRAUMA AT THIS VERY MOMENT. WE FIRST CAUGHT UP WITH TESSA INGRAM, SPOKESPERSON FOR UNICEF, WHEN SHE WAS ON THE GROUND IN RAFAH LAST MONTH. SHE JOINS ME AGAIN, THIS TIME STATESIDE. SO TASKS THE U.N. HAS BEEN WARNING OF OF FAMINE FOR FOUR MONTHS NOW. YOU THERE IN RAFAH. LET’S TALK ABOUT THE OPTIONS THAT THESE PALESTINIANS HAVE. DO THEY REALLY HAVE OPTIONS AND HOW MUCH LONGER IS THIS ACTUALLY SUSTAINABLE? WELL, LOOK, WE WE KNOW THAT PEOPLE HAVE OPTIONS, BUT THE QUESTION IS, ARE OPTIONS FEASIBLE AND ARE THEY SAFE? AND THE ANSWER TO THAT IS NO. WE KNOW THAT PEOPLE ARE BEING ENCOURAGED TO LEAVE RAFAH, BUT THEY IS NOT A GOOD PLACE FOR THEM TO GO. AREAS TO THE NORTH HAVE BEEN DECIMATED BY THE FIGHTING. I WAS THERE AND WAS SHOCKED BY THE LEVEL OF DESTRUCTION IN PLACES LIKE KHAN YUNIS WHERE BUILDINGS JUST IN RUBBLE BASICALLY, AND THERE’S UNEXPLODED ORDNANCE THAT PEOPLE NEED TO BE AWARE OF. AND SO IT’S A VERY DANGEROUS PLACE. OTHER THAN THAT, PEOPLE ARE BEING ENCOURAGED, MOVE CLOSER TO THE COAST, TO A SO-CALLED HUMANITARIAN ZONE CALLED ON MORSI. AND THERE WE KNOW THAT THERE’S NO BASIC SERVICES. IT’S ESSENTIALLY A SAND DUNES. SO PEOPLE’S OPTIONS ARE REALLY LIMITED. >> AND AS A RESULT, PEOPLE ARE TERRIFIED. SO A MILLION PLUS CIVILIANS ARE CURRENTLY SEEKING REFUGE IN RAFAH. WE’VE TALKED ABOUT THIS NUMBER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER AGAIN. AND THEY’VE BEEN TOLD EVACUATE TO PLACES LIKE AL MOUSAWI, ALSO CANAAN PEACE. THAT’S FURTHER NORTH WHERE ISRAEL SAYS HUMANITARIAN WATER, FOOD, MEDICAL EQUIPMENT AND SHELTER WILL ALL BE PROVIDED. IS THAT TRUE? AND WHAT ARE THOSE CONDITIONS LIKE? >> SO WE’RE NOT SEEING EVIDENCE YET OF MASS SUPPORT AND SERVICES FOR THE PEOPLE WHO ARE BEING DISPLACED. WE HAVEN’T CONSISTENTLY FOR THE LAST SEVEN MONTHS. NOT ONLY HAS THAT NOT BEEN PROVIDED, BUT ALSO OUR ABILITY TO DELIVER THAT HAS BEEN RESTRICTED AT EVERY TURN. SO, YOU KNOW, THIS CONTINUES TO BE A CHALLENGE. AND CHILDREN IN GAZA ARE THE ONES SUFFERING AS A RESULT OF THE CONDITIONS THAT THEY’RE LIVING IN IN MAKESHIFT SHELTERS ARE JUST ABYSMAL. YOU REALLY HAVE TO SEE IT TO BELIEVE IT. PEOPLE ARE CRAMMED INTO VERY SMALL TENTS. THE LINES FOR TOILETS IS INCREDIBLY LONG. AND SO PEOPLE HAVE TO RESORT TO OTHER OPTIONS THAT ARE UNSANITARY. AND IT CREATES DISEASE THAT EXACERBATES MALNUTRITION. SO THESE ARE REALLY DEADLY CYCLES THAT WE’RE TALKING ABOUT. THE CHILDREN. SO CLEARLY, WE NEED TO FACT CHECK WHAT ISRAEL IS TELLING US. IT’S A DIFFERENT STORY FROM WHAT YOU’VE SEEN THERE ON THE GROUND AND YOU’RE NONPARTISAN. SO LET’S TALK ABOUT THE AID FOR GAZA THAT WAS JUST LOADED ON THIS SHIP IN CYPRUS TODAY FOR WHAT’S EXPECTED BE THE FIRST AID DELIVERED TO THAT NEWLY BUILT PORT, THE GAZA STRIP. WHAT WILL BE ON THAT SHIP, DO YOU THINK? TESTS AND WHERE WILL ALL THOSE ITEMS GO? FIRST AND HOW WILL IT BE DISTRIBUTED? YEAH, LOOK, WE CAN WE CAN ONLY HOPE THAT THAT SHIP CONTAINS LIFESAVING THAT NOT ONLY REACHED THE SHORE, BUT THEN ABLE TO BE SAFELY DISTRIBUTED TO THE VULNERABLE PEOPLE ACROSS THE GAZA STRIP AND HAS TAKEN ON AN EXTRA LEVEL OF IMPORTANCE. BECAUSE WITH WHAT IS HAPPENING IN RAFAH, THE TWO KEY LAND CROSSINGS, RAFAH AND KAREM SHALOM HAVE BEEN CLOSED SINCE SUNDAY, AND SO WE HAVEN’T BEEN ABLE TO GET IN ANY AID SINCE SUNDAY, INCLUDING FUEL, WHICH IS A TRAGEDY BECAUSE FUEL IS THE THING THAT KEEPS EVERYTHING MOVING IN GAZA, INCLUDING THE HOSPITALS AND THE WATER PLANTS AND OUR DELIVERY TRUCKS. >> SO WE REALLY TO GET MORE AID INTO THE GAZA STRIP, BUT THEN MAKE SURE THAT WE CAN DISTRIBUTE AS WELL IN THESE REALLY DANGEROUS AND DIFFICULT CONDITIONS. >> YOU KNOW, I DEFINITELY BEFORE WE GO WE WANT TO JUST TALK ABOUT DESPITE THE DEVASTATION, I KNOW WHAT YOU AND PEOPLE LIKE JAMES ELDER AS WELL WITH UNICEF DO FOR THESE PALESTINIAN CHILDREN AND THEY’RE STILL TRYING TO FIND WAYS TO BE POSITIVE, TO SMILE, TO JUST BE KIDS. AND YOU HAVE BEEN THERE WHEN THEY’VE BEEN FLYING KITES. THEY’VE BEEN IN THE OPEN FIELDS, CREATING MAKESHIFT SWINGS. I LOVE IT WHEN YOU ARE ABLE TO DOCUMENT THESE MOMENTS, EVEN ARTS AND CRAFTS AND MAKING THINGS TO DISTRACT THEMSELVES FROM WHAT’S GOING ON. IT’S LIKE THEY ARE STILL FINDING THE HUMANITY THROUGH ALL THIS HEARTBREAK. AND IT’S JUST IT REALLY THIS LIKE THIS LOOKS LIKE A WHOLE DIFFERENT SITUATION THAN WHAT IS REALLY GOING ON. IT’S BEAUTIFUL. >> SEE THAT THEY CAN STILL BE KIDS. YEAH. AND SO IMPORTANT THAT WE REMEMBER THAT, I THINK, BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, WE TALK ABOUT THE HOSTILITIES AND THE NEGATIVE IMPACTS OF THAT. BUT AT THE END OF THE DAY, WE’RE TALKING ABOUT CHILDREN, 600,000 OF THEM SEEKING SHELTER IN RAFAH. AND THEY JUST WANT TO BE KIDS, THEN THEY DON’T UNDERSTAND REALLY WHAT’S HAPPENING AROUND THEM. THEY WANT TO PLAY AND LAUGH WITH THEIR FRIENDS. THEY MISS GOING TO SCHOOL FOR THE LAST SEVEN MONTHS. SO IT’S AN IMPORTANT FACT FOR US TO REMEMBER THAT RAFAH REALLY IS A CITY OF CHILDREN. AND IMAGES LIKE THESE, I ARE IMPORTANT FOR US TO SEE TO REALLY DRIVE THAT HOME AND. KEEP IN MIND THAT AT THE END OF THE DAY, THESE KIDS JUST WANT PEACE AND THEY DESERVE IT AND THEY DESERVE THESE MOMENTS . THEY ALSO DESERVE TO BE BACK IN SCHOOL. TESTING GRIM. APPRECIATE EVERYTHING THAT. YOU DO. THANK YOU. SO BACK HERE AT HOME, TEARING DOWN ENCAMPMENTS AND PUTTING PROTESTERS UNDER ARREST. NEW CLASHES TODAY BETWEEN POLICE AND DEMONSTRATIONS, COLLEGE OR DEMONSTRATORS, RATHER, ON COLLEGE CAMPUSES IN D.C.. YOU’RE ACTUALLY SEEING THE POLICE PEPPER SPRAYING THE PROTESTERS THERE AND HAVING TO BREAK UP AN ENCAMPMENT AT GEORGE WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY. AT LEAST 33 PEOPLE WERE ARRESTED THERE OVERNIGHT. AND THEN IN NEW CITY POLICE WERE BREAKING UP AN ENCAMPMENT AT THE FASHION INSTITUTE TECHNOLOGY. ROUGHLY 50 PEOPLE THERE WERE ARRESTED. OUR PHIL LIPOFF IS FOLLOWING ALL THE LATEST DEVELOPMENTS FROM CAMPUS TO CAMPUS. >> WHERE SHOULD WE START? GW? YEAH, GW IS A GOOD PLACE TO START, KYRA. >> WHAT HAPPENED THERE HAPPENED IN THE EARLY HOURS TODAY. POLICE IN D.C. MOVED IN TO CLEAR OUT AN ENCAMPMENT AS WE’VE SEEN AT SO MANY OTHER COLLEGES. >> THE CAMPUS HAS BEEN FOR A WEEK. THERE WAS A SKIRMISH, AS YOU CAN SEE HERE IN THE END, 33 PEOPLE, AS YOU MENTIONED, WERE ARRESTED. >> WHAT’S INTERESTING ABOUT THIS PARTICULAR INCIDENT AT GW, IT HAPPENED HOURS BEFORE WASHINGTON. MURIEL BOWSER AND HER POLICE CHIEF WERE SCHEDULED TO TESTIFY IN FRONT OF A CONGRESSIONAL COMMITTEE INVESTIGATING THE RESPONSE TO ENCAMPMENT THAT’S BEEN THERE FOR MORE THAN A WEEK. WHEN HOUSE OVERSIGHT CHAIR JAMES, A REPUBLICAN FROM KENTUCKY, HEARD ABOUT THE POLICE ACTION EARLY MORNING. HE ANNOUNCED THE HEARING WAS CANCELED AND ACTUALLY TOOK CREDIT FOR THE ACTION, SAYING THAT THE THE THREAT OF A HEARING, THE POLICE AND THE MAYOR TO MOVE IN. >> SO YORK CITY HAS BEEN THE EPICENTER OF THESE PROTESTS, AS YOU I HAVE BEEN REPORTING FOR WEEKS NOW. SPECIFICALLY, COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY. BUT WITH THE FINAL ENCAMPMENT BROKEN UP AT NEW YORK’S FASHION INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY, IS THERE A SENSE THAT THIS MAYBE BE WRAPPING UP, AT LEAST FOR NOW? THAT’S HARD TO SAY, KYRA, BECAUSE MANY OF THE PROTESTS WE SPOKE TO AT ALL OF THESE ENCAMPMENTS AROUND THE NEW YORK CITY, AT LEAST THEY SAY THEY’RE NOT GOING TO STOP PROTESTING UNTIL THERE IS A CEASE FIRE. SO WE’LL HAVE TO SEE WHAT HAPPENS WITH ANY KIND OF CEASE FIRE DEAL THAT HAMAS AND ISRAEL IS WORKING ON OR THE WAR COMING TO AN END IN IN ANY OTHER WAY. AS FOR FIGHT, LAST NIGHT, AS YOU CAN SEE, NYPD OFFICERS IN HELMETS AND RIOT GEAR, THEY WERE CARRYING ZIP TIES, GAVE THE ORDER CLEAR OUT THE ENCAMPMENT OR FACE ARREST. >> TEN MINUTES LATER, AFTER THAT ORDER, THIS, THEY MOVED IN AND MADE DOZENS OF ARRESTS. THEY HAVE THAT CAMPUS CLEARED, OR AT LEAST THE ENCAMPMENT PART OF THAT CAMPUS CLEARED IN ABOUT 30 MINUTES OR SO. SO WHETHER IT STOPS IT OR NOT, KYRA, WE’LL HAVE TO SEE. >> THERE’S BEEN PROTESTING OUTSIDE OF CAMPUSES, TOO. WE’VE SEEN THAT AT NYU. NOW THE ENCAMPMENTS ARE CLEARED ON CAMPUS. >> ALL PHIL LIPOFF, APPRECIATE YOU. >> THANKS SO MUCH. COMING UP, DONALD TRUMP. HE WON THE INDIANA PRIMARY LAST NIGHT, BUT NOT ALL THE NUMBERS POINT TO FUTURE SUCCESS. WE’LL EXPLAIN NEXT FRIDAY NIGHT. >> A MINISTER CHARGED WITH MURDER. YOUR HUSBAND IS BEING ACCUSED OF MURDERING TWO WHITE TEENAGE GIRLS. >> BOTH MEN WERE SHOT EXECUTION STYLE. MAYBE YOU WERE LIVING WITH SOMEBODY YOU JUST DIDN’T KNOW. THE NEW 2020 FRIDAY NIGHT ON ABC FROM THE TEAM THAT BROUGHT YOU THE DUPONT AWARD WINNING REPORT A GROUNDBREAKING NEW INVESTIGATION SPANNING 9000 MILES, TRASHED THE SECRET LIFE OF EXPORTS STREAMED FREE ON HULU TONIGHT, TRACKING THE DEADLY TORNADO OUTBREAK AND AS THE SEVERE WEATHER MOVES EAST ACROSS THE COUNTRY, A HAMAS AND RAFAH, WHAT HAPPENS NEXT? MORE AMERICANS TURN. TO WORLD NEWS TONIGHT WITH DAVID MUIR. THE MOST WATCHED NEWSCAST TELEVISION. >> RICKI LAKE, WHEN SHE WAS TOLD THAT USING MOZAMBIQUE, HER ONLY OPTION TO LOSE WEIGHT. WHAT DID SHE DO NEXT THAT HAS HER HEALTHIER AND LOOKING LIKE THIS TOMORROW? RICKY’S HERE TO SHARE HER SECRETS OF HOW SHE DID IT WITHOUT OZEMPIC ON GOOD MORNING AMERICA, MORE AMERICANS CHOOSE ABC NEWS, AMERICA AS NUMBER ONE NEWS SOURCE. >> GLAD YOU’RE SWIMMING WITH US. WELL, HE MAY NOT BE SITTING IN A COURTROOM FROM A WOMAN DESCRIBING PRETTY LURID DETAILS ABOUT THEIR ALLEGED. BUT DONALD TRUMP’S LEGAL ISSUES ARE STILL FRONT AND CENTER TODAY. THE JUDGE IN THE FORMER PRESIDENT’S FLORIDA DOCUMENTS CASE JUST DELAYED THAT TRIAL INDEFINITELY. AND A GEORGIA APPEALS COURT DISHING OUT A NEW TWIST IN HIS ELECTION INTERFERENCE CASE. THE COURT IT WILL HEAR TRUMP’S APPEAL ON A RULING THAT ALLOWED DE FANI WILLIS TO STAY ON THE CASE. TRUMP’S TEAM HAS BEEN ARGUING THAT WILLIS’S RELATIONSHIP WITH FORMER SPECIAL PROSECUTOR NATHAN WADE SHOULD BAR HER. THAT MOVE MAY SIGNIFICANTLY DELAY THE CASE. ELECTION DAY JUST SIX MONTHS AWAY. NOW LET’S BRING IN OUR INVESTIGATIVE REPORTER, OLIVIA RUBIN TO BREAK IT ALL DOWN. >> OLIVIA, HOW BIG OF A WIN IS THIS FOR TRUMP AND AT LEAST IN TERMS OF HIS GEORGIA CASE? IT’S A HUGE WIN, KYRA, BECAUSE REMEMBER, WHAT DONALD TRUMP WANTS TO DO IS THESE CASES UNTIL AFTER THE 2024 PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION. AND SO THINK ABOUT WHAT HE HAS BEEN ABLE TO DO IN THIS CASE, ALONG WITH A NUMBER OF OTHER DEFENDANTS. THIS ACTUALLY ISN’T AN ISSUE THAT HAS TO DO WITH THE MITS OF THE CASE. IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH HIS ALLEGED EFFORTS TO OVERTURN THE 2020 ELECTION. WHAT IT HAS DO IS ALLEGED RELATIONSHIP. THERE WAS A RELATIONSHIP DID OCCUR BETWEEN THE PROSECUTOR THAT CHARGED HIM. SO THEY HAVE FOUND A PERSONAL ISSUE THAT THEY HAVE BEEN ABLE TO TAKE INTO SOMETHING THAT COULD POTENTIALLY DERAIL THE ENTIRE CASE. SO REALLY, THE QUESTION NOW BECOMES, HOW LONG IS THIS DELAY GOING BE? BECAUSE REMEMBER, THE APPEALS COURT AGREEING TO HEAR THE DISQUALIFICATION ISSUE DOES NOT AUTOMATICALLY STAY IT. AND THE JUDGE WHO OVERSEES THIS CASE, SCOTT MCCARTHY, HAS VOWED TO KEEP IT GOING, EVEN IF THE APPEALS COURT TAKES IT UP. BUT REMEMBER WHAT TRUMP AND HIS CO-DEFENDANTS CAN DO NOW IS GO RIGHT TO THE APPEALS COURT AND ASK FOR THAT STAY. AND THE QUESTION IS, WILL THEY GET IT? SO THIS WHOLE PROCESS COULD TAKE UP TO SIX MONTHS. SO IF THEY GET THIS DAY, IT TAKES MONTHS TO GET A RULING ON THIS. YOU’RE ALREADY AT THE ELECTION AND THERE IS NO WAY THAT IT IS GOING TO HAPPEN. SO A HUGE WIN FOR DONALD TRUMP IS SOMETHING HE HAS TO BE PLEASED ABOUT TODAY. SO WHAT’S THE LIKELIHOOD THAT WILL SEE FANI WILLIS REMOVED FROM THIS CASE? WELL, IT DEPENDS HOW, YOU KNOW, THE APPEALS COURT VIEWS MCAFEE’S RULING DID FIND THAT THERE WAS AN APPEARANCE OF A CONFLICT INTEREST. HE DIDN’T FIND AN ACTUAL CONFLICT OF INTEREST. AND WHAT DONALD TRUMP’S TEAM HAS SAID WAS BECAUSE HE FOUND THE APPEARANCE IN GEORGIA LAW SHOULD HAVE REQUIRED FANI WILLIS TO BE REMOVED. THEY THAT HE USED SORT OF AN INCORRECT LEGAL STANDARD. SO THAT IS GOING TO BE ONE OF THE ISSUES BEFORE THE COURT. WE HAVEN’T SEEN DONALD FULL BRIEFING YET THERE. BUT THE QUESTION REALLY ISN’T AT MOMENT, WILL SHE BE REMOVED? THE QUESTION REALLY IS, DOES THE CASE EVEN HAPPEN? >> ALL RIGHT. OLIVIA RUBIN, THANKS SO MUCH. >> MUCH CALMER DAY FOR US TODAY . SO NIKKI HALEY IS EARNING THE TITLE THE LAZARUS 2024 AND SHOWING DONALD TRUMP HIS GRIP ON THE REPUBLICAN PARTY ISN’T AS TIGHT AS HE MIGHT HAVE THOUGHT. HALEY ACTUALLY DELIVERING A WARNING SIGN FOR THE FORMER PRESIDENT IN LAST NIGHT’S REPUBLICAN IN INDIANA. WHILE TRUMP DID WIN, FORMER CANDIDATE NIKKI HALEY GRABBED 22% OF THE VOTE, EVEN THOUGH SHE DROPPED OUT OF THE RACE IN MARCH. AND THIS ISN’T THE FIRST TIME THE FORMER SOUTH CAROLINA GOVERNOR HAS GATHERED VOTES SINCE EXITING THE RACE. HALEY GOT A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF VOTES IN PRIMARIES IN PENNSYLVANIA, WISCONSIN, NEW YORK, WASHINGTON, OHIO AND ARIZONA. OUR DEPUTY POLITICAL DIRECTOR, AVERI HARPER, JOINING ME NOW FOR WHAT THIS COULD MEAN, MAYBE FOR THE GENERAL ELECTION. AVERY, WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT THESE RECENT RESULTS? I MEAN IS IT A SIGNAL FOR NOVEMBER? AND IS THIS VOTE AGAINST TRUMP GOING TO BECOME POSSIBLY A PATTERN? >> WELL, IT’S SOMETHING THAT WE’VE SEEN IN STATES SINCE NIKKI HALEY HAS DROPPED OUT AND IT REPRESENTS VULNERABILITY FOR TRUMP HEADING INTO NOVEMBER. I THINK PARTICULAR IN SOME OF THESE BATTLEGROUND STATES, IT COULD REPRESENT SOME TROUBLE . TRUMP. BUT THERE IS STILL A SIZABLE PORTION OF REPUBLICAN VOTERS THAT ARE LOOKING FOR AN ALTERNATIVE. AND THOSE ARE THE FOLKS WHO ARE STILL VOTING FOR NIKKI HALEY, DESPITE THE FACT SHE’S LONG BEEN OUT OF THIS RACE. >> SO THESE VOTERS COULD A COUPLE OF THINGS ON ELECTION DAY. THEY COULD STAY HOME. THEY COULD UP AND VOTE FOR TRUMP. THEY COULD FLIP FOR BIDEN OR THESE THE KIND OF VOTERS WHO MIGHT JUST GO FOR THIRD PARTY CANDIDATES LIKE, YOU KNOW, RFK JR. WELL, ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE. AND OF COURSE, YES, THEY COULD GO FOR AN RFK JR OR A CORNEL WEST OR A JILL STEIN. BUT THOSE OPTIONS HAVE TO BE ON THE BALLOT IN THEIR. AND IN ORDER FOR THEM TO BE AN ALTERNATIVE TO TRUMP FOR SOME OF THESE REPUBLICAN VOTERS WHO MIGHT BE LOOKING ELSEWHERE. AND THAT’S GOING TO BE THE UPHILL BATTLE FOR THOSE THIRD PARTY CANDIDATES, BECAUSE THEY ARE NOT NECESSARILY GUARANTEED A SPOT ON BALLOTS THE COUNTRY. BUT, YES, THEY COULD BE STAYING HOME, COULD HOLD THEIR NOSE AND VOTE FOR FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP. THEY COULD FLIP TO BIDEN. I THINK YOU’RE GOING TO SEE A LITTLE BIT OF ALL THREE OF THESE OPTIONS AS WE WAIT AND SEE WHAT HAPPENS IN NOVEMBER. ALL RIGHT, AVERI HARPER, THANK YOU SO. >> AND COMING UP, DOZENS OF PASSENGERS FRANTICALLY TO ESCAPE ON EMERGENCY SLIDES AFTER SMOKE AND SPARKS W FROM T. ALL THE DETAILS AFTER THE BREAK . WHAT DOES IT TAKE TO BE THE MOST WATCHED NEWSCAST IN AMERICA? >> OPERATION THINKING AFTER ISIS’S COMBAT OPERATIONS ON. WE’RE APPROACHING THE GATE NOW. MILITANTS CAME IN FROM FOUR OR FIVE DIFFERENT DIRECTIONS. OPERATION NUCLEAR REACTOR. SO WE HAVE A COUPLE OF LOADED AND READY TO GO. THE HOUSE IS DESTROYED.

AT LEAST TWO TWISTERS TOUCHING DOWN IN THE CITY OF PORTAGE, A FEDEX FACILITY IN THE AREA SUFFERING MAJOR DAMAGE. AT LEAST 50 PEOPLE WERE INSIDE THAT BUILDING WHEN THE STORM HIT. >> AND THEN STRONG STORMS ALSO RIPPED THROUGH ARKANSAS. DAMAGING WINDS DOWN AND TREES KNOCKING OUT POWER. LEADING US OFF THIS HOUR, EXTREME WEATHER TEAM IN THE STORM ZONE RIGHT NOW AND TRACKING THE FORECAST MOLA LENGHI IS ACTUALLY IN LITTLE ROCK, ARKANSAS, MUGLA. A POSSIBLE TORNADO TOUCHING DOWN ROUGHLY AN HOUR FROM WHERE YOU ARE. >> YEAH, THAT’S RIGHT, KYRA. >> SOME PRETTY HEAVY STORMS HERE OVER THE LAST 24 HOURS ACROSS THE STATE RESULTING IN, LIKE YOU MENTIONED, AT LEAST ONE POSSIBLE TORNADO IN SPRINGS, ARKANSAS. THAT’S ABOUT AN HOUR FROM WHERE WE ARE HERE IN LITTLE ROCK. OFFICIALS SAYING THAT, YOU KNOW, SOME PRETTY POTENTIALLY EXTENSIVE DAMAGE THERE, SURVEYING THE DAMAGE RIGHT NOW, POSSIBLY SOME DAMAGE TO STRUCTURES, POSSIBLY SOME DOWNED TREES, DOWNED POWER LINES, SEVERAL ROADS IMPASSABLE . SO THEY’RE STILL SURVEYING THE DAMAGE THERE RIGHT NOW AS CREWS CLEANING IT UP. >> ALL RIGHT. WELL, LET’S TALK ABOUT THIS TORNADO OUTBREAK. MOHLER IN MICHIGAN. WHAT MORE CAN YOU TELL US? YEAH, MICHIGAN, AGAIN, SUFFERED SOME SOME PRETTY EXTENSIVE DAMAGE HERE OVER THE LAST 24 HOURS. AND KEEP IN MIND, THAT IS A STATE OF COURSE NOT USED TO DEALING WITH TORNADOES. PRETTY RARE FOR TORNADOES SHOW UP THERE, OFFICIALS SAY. THE TOWN OF PORTAGE, MICHIGAN, NEAR KALAMAZOO, QUOTE, EXTENSIVE DAMAGE TO BOTH RESIDENTIAL AND COMMERCIAL AFTER TWO TORNADOES RIPPED THROUGH THE AREA. MOBILE HOME COMMUNITY ALSO HIT THOSE FOLKS PICKING UP THE PIECES TODAY. THIS AFTERNOON, THE GOVERNOR OF MICHIGAN TALKING ABOUT WHAT FOLKS IN HER STATE ARE GOING THROUGH RIGHT NOW. >> WE FEEL REALLY LUCKY ABOUT PEOPLE, YOU KNOW, PEOPLE WERE LOST THEIR LIVES. WE KNOW THAT A LOT PEOPLE LOST EVERYTHING, KYRA. HE ALSO MENTIONED THAT FEDEX FACILITY IN MICHIGAN THAT WAS HIT, REALLY TORN APART WITH ABOUT 50 PEOPLE, AT LEAST 50 PEOPLE INSIDE AT THE TIME. THE GOOD THERE IS THAT A REP FOR FEDEX CONFIRMING THAT NONE OF THOSE FOLKS WHO WERE INSIDE AT THE TIME WERE INJURED KYRA. ALL RIGHT. WELL, THANKS SO MUCH. AND STICK IT NOW TO OUR METEOROLOGIST, MELISSA GRIFFIN. 57 MILLION PEOPLE IN A TORNADO STORM ZONE NOW. WHAT YOU TRACKING? >> WELL, HERE, IF YOU CAN BELIEVE IT. THIS IS THE FOURTH MULTIDAY TORNADO OUTBREAK IN AS MANY WEEKS IN FOUR WEEKS. >> AND WE STILL HAVE THESE TORNADO WARNINGS THAT CONTINUE TO POP UP ACROSS THIS WATCH BOX THAT NOW EXTENDS BACK INTO WESTERN MISSOURI. EVEN FAR EASTERN KANSAS. THIS IS IN EFFECT THROUGH 7:00 TONIGHT. LOOK AT THIS WARNING HERE, YOU SEE THAT VIOLENT STORM KIND OF CIRCULATING RIGHT FROM MISSOURI, MOVING INTO SOUTHERN ILLINOIS JUST TO THE NORTHWEST OF CARBONDALE. WE’LL BE WATCHING THESE STORMS CLOSELY THROUGH THE EVENING BECAUSE THEY’RE JUST GOING TO PICK UP MORE AND MORE. >> AND LOOK AT THIS, FLOOD WATCHES IN EFFECT. NOT ONLY IS THE SEVERE WEATHER THREAT, BUT FLASH FLOODING IS ALSO A THREAT WITH THE VERY HEAVY DOWNPOURS THAT ARE GOING TO COME WITH THESE STORMS. SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCHES STRETCHING ALL THE WAY EAST EVEN INTO THE CAROLINAS THERE. SO WE’RE WATCHING SUCH A WIDE AREA FOR SEVERE WEATHER. HERE’S THE TIMING. SEE THESE STORMS EXPLODING RIGHT INTO THE OVERNIGHT HOURS YET AGAIN THOSE OVERNIGHT TORNADO THREATS, THE MOST DANGEROUS ONES YOU CAN HAVE. AND LOOK AT THIS RED AREA. THIS IS THE SECOND HIGHEST LEVEL FOR SEVERE STORMS, NOT JUST TORNADOES, GIANT HAIL, WHICH CAN ALSO CAUSE SOME PRETTY SIGNIFICANT AS WELL AS THOSE WINDS GUSTING TO 80 MILES PER HOUR. ANY ONE FROM DALLAS UP THROUGH ST. LOUIS, NASHVILLE, YOU’RE IN THAT RED ZONE ALL THE WAY TO THE EAST COAST. LIKE I SAID, RALEIGH TO, COLUMBIA, SOUTH CAROLINA, ALL IN THAT SEVERE WEATHER THREAT THROUGH TONIGHT. AND KYRA PICKS RIGHT BACK UP AGAIN TOMORROW FROM TEXAS ALL THE ACROSS THE GULF COAST, EVEN AS FAR NORTH AS D.C. WE’LL SEE MORE SEVERE WEATHER THURSDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING KYRA. MELISSA, THANKS SO MUCH TO YOU, TOO. MOLLY WILL STAY IN TOUCH. WELL, TEARING DOWN ENCAMPMENTS ,PUTTING PROTESTERS UNDER ARREST. NEW CLASHES TODAY BETWEEN POLICE AND DEMONSTRATORS ON COLLEGE CAMPUSES HERE IN D.C. POLICE PEPPER SPRAYING PROTESTERS ARE BREAKING UP AN ENCAMPMENT THERE AT GEORGE WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY. AT LEAST 30 PEOPLE, 33 PEOPLE ARRESTED THAT A NEW YORK CITY POLICE WERE BREAKING UP AN ENCAMPMENT AT THE FASHION INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY. ROUGHLY 50 PEOPLE THERE WERE ARRESTED. OUR PHIL LIPOFF HAS FOLLOWING ALL THE LATEST DEVELOPMENTS. PHIL, LET’S GO AHEAD AND START WITH THE SITUATION. GW PROTESTERS HAD BEEN CAMPED OUT THERE FOR TWO WEEKS. WHAT MADE POLICE FINALLY MOVE IN? >> WELL, MORNING AFTER MORNING AFTER MORNING AND RIGHT OFF THE CARE, WE SHOULD MENTION THAT THE PROTESTERS AT GW AND OTHER PLACES STILL AT THIS HOUR KNOW WHAT’S GOING TO HAPPEN. >> EVENTUALLY THE POLICE ARE GOING TO MOVE IN. AND IN D.C., THEY DID TO CLEAR OUT THAT ENCAMPMENT. IT HAD BEEN THERE, AS I MENTIONED, FOR MORE THAN A WEEK. THERE WAS A SKIRMISH, AS YOU SEE. YOU MENTIONED 33 PEOPLE WERE ARRESTED. I WILL SAY WHAT’S INTERESTING ABOUT THIS INCIDENT IS THAT IT HAPPENED JUST HOURS BEFORE WASHINGTON MAYOR, MAYOR, BROWSER, BOWSER AND HER POLICE CHIEF WERE TO TESTIFY IN FRONT OF A CONGRESSIONAL COMMITTEE INVESTIGATING RESPONSE TO THAT ENCAMPMENT OVER THE PAST WEEK OR SO. I MEAN, THIS HAPPENED IN THE EARLY MORNING HOURS AND THAT COMMITTEE WAS SCHEDULED HAVE A HEARING TODAY WHEN OVERSIGHT CHAIR JAMES COLMER, A REPUBLICAN KENTUCKY, HEARD ABOUT THE POLICE ACTION IN CLEARING OF THE ENCAMPMENT. HE ANNOUNCED THAT THE HEARING WAS CANCELED. WE DON’T HAVE IT ANYMORE. AND HE TOOK FOR THE ACTION. >> IT’S INTERESTING, PHIL JUST COMING ACROSS THE WIRE HERE THAT DURING THE PRESS CONFERENCE, D.C. POLICE, THEY WERE EXPLAINING THAT THEY SHUT DOWN GEORGE WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY’S ENCAMPMENT AT 3 A.M., SAYING THAT PROTESTERS FROM UNIVERSITY ACTUALLY SHOWED UP AND INFILTRATED THESE PROTESTS. IT’S INTERESTING TO KIND OF SEE AS THINGS SLOW DOWN THERE IN NEW YORK, THERE ARE STILL THOSE THAT WERE INVOLVED WITH THESE PROTESTS KIND OF MOVING INTO OTHER AREAS. >> AND IT’S NOT REALLY SURPRISING BECAUSE WHEN WE TALKED TO SOME OF THESE PROTESTERS AT COLUMBIA SPECIFICALLY, THEY SAID WE’RE NOT GOING TO STOP UNTIL THERE IS A CEASE FIRE. >> SO THAT, YOU KNOW, THEY DIDN’T TELL THEY WERE GOING TO SHOW UP IN OTHER PLACES, BUT IT DOESN’T SURPRISE ME FOR SURE. >> WELL, GOT ACROSS COUNTRY FOLLOWING ALL THE OTHER ENCAMPMENTS, PROTESTS. >> WHAT DO WE KNOW? WELL, IN TERMS OF OUTSIDE AGITATORS, WE SHOULD TOUCH ON ON THAT. WE’VE GONE AND COVERED THIS ACROSS THE COUNTRY. THERE HAVE BEEN THERE’S BEEN THIS TALK ABOUT OUTSIDE AGITATORS. WE’VE SEEN MORE THAN 2500 ARRESTS ACROSS THE COUNTRY. COULD EVEN BE MORE NOW MORE THAN 40 CAMPUSES. >> THE PERCENTAGE OF PEOPLE ARRESTED IS DIFFERENT FROM CAMPUS CAMPUS AT COLUMBIA. THE NYPD SAYS ABOUT 30% OF THOSE THEY ARRESTED WERE NOT AFFILIATED WITH THAT SCHOOL AT CITY COLLEGE OF NEW YORK. THAT NUMBER WAS WAY HIGHER, 60% OF THE PEOPLE ARRESTED. POLICE TELL US WE’RE NOT AFFILIATED WITH THAT SCHOOL. SO WHO THESE PEOPLE? WHERE ARE THEY COMING FROM? THEY’RE NOT ALWAYS FREELY GIVING THEIR ORGANIZATION. BUT WHAT WE DO KNOW IS THAT THERE IS A PORTION OF THESE PROTESTS, THESE PRO-PALESTINIAN PROTESTS THAT OUTSIDE PEOPLE ARE COMING IN TO, TO AND THE POLICE WILL SAY AGITATE OR JUST BE THERE AND DO WHATEVER THEY DO. >> SO IT’S SUCH A . SOME OF THESE UNIVERSITIES CANCELING COMMENCEMENT SPEECHES NOW. I MEAN, FOR THOSE THAT MAY NOT HAVE EVEN BEEN INVOLVED, THEY DON’T GET A LOT OF THESE STUDENTS ARE EXCITED TO GET UP ON THAT STAGE, RECEIVE DIPLOMA . AND IT’S WHAT THEY’VE WORKED SO HARD FOR. NOT JUST EXCITED, BUT YEAH, THEY’VE EARNED IT, RIGHT? THEY THEY’VE DONE THIS FOR. ONE OF MY CHILDREN, MY OLDEST IS CLASS OF 2020, SO WE HAD TO DRIVE BY HER HIGH SCHOOL IN 2020 DURING THE PANDEMIC FOR HER GRADUATION. LUCKILY, SHE’S AT A SCHOOL THAT HER GRADUATION IS NOT THREATENED. >> BUT SHE HAS FRIENDS WHO ARE AT SCHOOLS. HAVE A NEPHEW WHO’S AT USC. AND THESE KIDS, IT’S THE IS IS A GREAT TECHNICALERM THAT YOU CAME UP WITH, KYRA. IT IS A FOR THESE KIDS AND THEY’VE GOTTEN USED TO AFTER OVER THE LAST FOUR YEARS WITH THE PANDEMIC AND NOW THIS. >> I’M GOING BACK. I’M GOING BACK TO MY DAYS IN COLLEGE WHERE THAT WAS THE WORD. >> IT’S A GOOD WORD. IT’S A GOOD WORD. YES, IT IS. IT IS A. YES. IT NEVER IT NEVER GETS ENCOMPASSING. APPRECIATE IT, BILL. >> ALL RIGHT. HOLDING AMMO, BUT SENDING A STRONG SIGNAL SIGNAL TO ISRAEL. DEFENSE SECRETARY LLOYD AUSTIN NOW CONFIRMING THAT THE U.S. IS ACTUALLY PAUSING THAT WEAPONS SHIPMENT FOR THE COUNTRY, INCLUDING SOME 3500 BOMBS. NOW, THIS IS THE FIRST TIME THAT WE ACTUALLY KNOW OF THAT THE U.S. HAS DENIED ISRAEL ACCESS TO MILITARY AID TO TRY AND INFLUENCE THE WAR. THE CONCERN IS THAT THESE WEAPONS COULD BE USED IN RAFAH . THE TOWN IN ISRAEL’S CROSSHAIRS RIGHT NOW IS MORE THAN A MILLION PALESTINIAN CIVILIANS ARE CURRENTLY SEEKING REFUGE. PRESIDENT BIDEN URGENTLY ASKING ISRAEL NOT TO INVADE RAFAH FOR THE LAST FEW WEEKS, BUT SO FAR THOSE WARNINGS HAVE BEEN IGNORED. SENIOR HOUSE CORRESPONDENT SELINA WANG JOINING ME NOW. SO, SELINA, LET’S TALK ABOUT THE REACTION ON THE HILL TO THE PAUSE OF AMMO. IT’S BEEN MIXED. >> WELL, KYRA, THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION IS FACING A LOT OF CRITICISM, BOTH THE PROGRESSIVE SIDE OF THE PARTY AS WELL AS FROM THESE REPUBLICAN LAWMAKERS WHO ARE SLAMMING THIS DECISION, SAYING THAT IT UNDERMINES AMERICA’S COMMITMENT TO ISRAEL’S SECURITY. YOU’VE HEARD ESPECIALLY SCATHING WORDS FROM REPUBLICANS SENATOR LINSEY GRAHAM, WHO SAYS THAT THIS SENDS A VERY DANGEROUS MESSAGE TO ISRAEL’S ENEMIES, INCLUDING IRAN, HEZBOLLAH, OTHER PROXY GROUPS. TAKE A LISTEN TO WHAT ELSE HE SAID. >> SO ISRAEL’S BEEN HIT IN THE LAST FEW WEEKS BY IRAN, HEZBOLLAH AND HAMAS DEDICATED TO THEIR DESTRUCTION. AND YOU’RE TELLING ME YOU’RE GOING TO TELL THEM HOW TO FIGHT THE WAR AND WHAT THEY CAN AND CAN’T USE WHEN EVERYBODY AROUND THAT WANTS TO KILL ALL THE JEWS? AND YOU’RE TELLING ME THAT IF WE WITHHOLD WEAPONS IN THIS FIGHT, THE EXISTENTIAL FIGHT FOR THE LIFE OF THE JEWISH, IT WON’T SEND THE WRONG SIGNAL. BUT, KYRA, THERE WAS ALSO SIGNIFICANT PUSHBACK FROM REPUBLICAN FROM DEMOCRATIC SENATORS TO WHAT SENATOR LINSEY GRAHAM SAYING, QUOTE, THIS IS FROM SENATOR CHRIS MURPHY. HE SAID, HISTORY TELLS US THAT THE APPLICATION OF OVERWHELMING MILITARY FORCE CAN FACT GROW TERRORIST THREATS, NOT SHRINK THEM. SO THEN HE CONTINUES TO SAY IF ISRAEL STRATEGY IS MAKING IT MORE LIKELY, NOT LESS LIKELY, THAT FUTURE TERRORIST ATTACKS WILL OCCUR, THEN IT IS NOT AN EFFECTIVE STRATEGY. AND OF COURSE, THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION IS MAINTAINING THAT THEIR COMMITMENT TO ISRAEL IS IN FACT STILL IRONCLAD DESPITE THE WITHHOLDING OF THIS MILITARY SHIPMENT. ALL SELINA WANG FROM THE WHITE HOUSE. >> THANK YOU. AND COMING UP, DONALD TRUMP, WELL, HE MAY HAVE WON LAST NIGHT’S INDIANA PRIMARY, BUT THERE WERE PLENTY OF OTHER WARNING SIGNS ALONG WITH THAT VICTORY. WE’LL EXPLAIN NEXT. WHENEVER NEWS BREAKS. WE ARE HERE IN ISRAEL, A NATION AT WAR AFTER THAT BRUTAL SURPRISE ATTACK BY HAMAS ON THE GROUND IN UKRAINE. >> REPORTING LEWISTON, MAINE, THE SCENE OF A HORRIFIC MASS SHOOTING. >> ABC NEWS LIVE RIGHT THERE EVERYDAY FROM THE SCENE OF THAT DEADLY MISSILE STRIKE.

WHAT PEOPLE ARE TALKING ABOUT THE MIGRANT CRISIS FAST, STRAIGHT FORWARD WITH SOME FUN IN BETWEEN. CHECK OUT THE GATOR ON. THE 17 PULLED A BUZZKILL AND BASEBALL FIRST THING IN THE MORNING, AMERICA. THIS MORNING, AMERICA’S NUMBER EARLY MORNING NEWS ON ABC NEWS. >> WHY RICKI LAKE WHEN SHE WAS TOLD THAT USING HIS AMP WAS HER ONLY OPTION LOSE WEIGHT, WHAT DID SHE DO NEXT THAT HAS HER HEALTHIER, HAPPIER AND LOOKING LIKE THIS TOMORROW? RICKI’S HERE TO SHARE HER SECRETS OF. HOW SHE DID IT WITHOUT OZEMPIC ON GOOD MORNING AMERICA FROM THE TEAM THAT POINTS YOU. THE DUPONT AWARD WINNING REPORT A GROUNDBREAKING NEW INVESTIGATION SPANNING 9000 MILES TRASHED THE SECRET LIFE OF PLASTIC EXPORTS STREAM FREE ON HULU. GLAD YOU’RE STREAMING WITH US. WELL, HE MAY NOT BE SITTING IN A COURTROOM ACROSS FROM A WOMAN DESCRIBING LURID DETAILS ABOUT THEIR ALLEGED AFFAIR. BUT DONALD TRUMP’S LEGAL ISSUES ARE STILL FRONT AND CENTER TODAY. THE JUDGE, THE FORMER PRESIDENT’S FLORIDA DOCUMENTS CASE JUST DELAYED THAT TRIAL INDEFINITELY. AND A GEORGIA APPEALS COURT DISHING OUT A NEW TWIST, HIS ELECTION INTERFERENCE CASE. THE COURT SAYS IT WILL HEAR TRUMP’S ON THAT RULING THAT ALLOWED DE FANI WILLIS TO STAY ON THE CASE. TRUMP’S TEAM HAS BEEN ARGUING THAT WILLIS’S RELATIONSHIP WITH THE FORMER SPECIAL PROSECUTOR, NATHAN WADE, SHOULD BAR HER. THAT MOVE MAY SIGNIFICANTLY DELAY THE CASE WITH ELECTION DAY. AS YOU KNOW, JUST ABOUT SIX MONTHS AWAY. NOW, LET’S BRING IN OUR INVESTIGATIVE REPORTER, OLIVIA RUBIN, TO BREAK IT ALL DOWN FOR US. SO, OLIVIA, LET’S TALK ABOUT HOW BIG OF A WIN THIS IS FOR TRUMP, ESPECIALLY IN TERMS OF HIS GEORGIA CASE. >> FIRST, IT’S EXACTLY THEY WANTED THEY WERE HOPING THAT THIS WOULD GET TAKEN UP ON APPEAL AND TO POTENTIALLY STALL THE CASE. AND WHEN YOU TAKE THE GEORGIA APPEALS COURT RULING WITH JUDGE AILEEN CANNON’S DECISION THAT SHE IS DELAYING CASE INDEFINITELY, YOU HAVE TO BACK TO BACK ESSENTIALLY HOME RUNS THE TRUMP TEAM. THEY ARE TRULY THRILLED WITH THIS. AND IT HAS BEEN A LOT OF THEIR STRATEGY, I WOULD SAY HERE, THINK ABOUT IT. THEY WASN’T NECESSARILY THAT THEY HAD TO WIN THE DISQUALIFICATION RULING, ALTHOUGH THAT CERTAINLY WOULD HAVE BEEN A HUGE WIN. BUT JUST TO HAVE SOMETHING THAT THEY COULD TAKE UP ON APPEAL IN HOPES OF BOGGING DOWN THE CASE, THE EXACT SAME THING THAT HAPPENED WITH THE JANUARY 6 CASE, THEY DID NOT WIN THE INITIAL IMMUNITY RULING CLAIMING THAT HE HAS IMMUNITY, BUT IT GAVE THEM SOMETHING TO BRING UP THE CASE SO THAT THEY COULD HOPEFULLY BOG IT DOWN ON APPEAL. AND THAT’S EXACTLY WHAT WE’RE SEEING NOW IN GEORGIA. AND WHEN YOU TALK TO LEGAL EXPERTS DOWN THERE, WHICH I’VE BEEN DOING ALL DAY, YOU KNOW, THEY KNOW THE LAWS DOWN THERE BETTER THAN ANYONE. THEY ALL SORT OF ARE IN AGREEMENT THAT THERE IS ESSENTIALLY NO WORLD IN WHICH THIS CASE IS GOING TO NOW BE ABLE TO GO FORWARD BEFORE THE 2024 ELECTION SIMPLY BECAUSE OF THE PROCESS IT ALL THE TIME THAT IT IS GOING TO TAKE TO GET THIS DONE, NOT THAT IT AUTOMATICALLY STAYS THE CASE, BECAUSE IT CERTAINLY DOES NOT. BUT TRUMP’S TEAM CAN NOW GO FORWARD AND ASK FOR THAT. STAY. GOT IT. SO LET’S JUST TALK ABOUT WHERE CASE STANDS NOW AND JUST THE VARIOUS OPTIONS THAT COULD PLAY OUT COME NOVEMBER. >> WELL, THEY’RE GOING TO NOW SEE IF THEY CAN GET FANI WILLIS REMOVED FROM THE CASE. ALSO HAVE A NUMBER OF MOTIONS PENDING LOOKING TO THROW OUT MORE CHARGES IN THE CASE. THEY’VE ALREADY WON A COUPLE OF THEM. AT FIRST, HE WAS FACING 13 CHARGES IN GEORGIA AND NOW HE FACES TEN. SO WE’LL SEE IF THEY CAN GET SOME MORE OF THE JUDGE THERE, THOUGH BEFORE THE COURT AGREED TO TAKE UP THE APPEAL, HAD SORT OF VOWED TO KEEP THE CASE MOVING IN AN EARLIER ORDER. HE SAID EVEN IF THE COURT OF APPEALS TAKES THIS, I WILL KEEP MOVING FORWARD WITH OTHER UNRELATED MOTIONS. BUT THE QUESTION REALLY BECOMES, CAN HAVE A TRIAL WHERE THE FATE OF THE PROSECUTOR IS IN FANI WILLIS HAS REPEATEDLY ASKED FOR AN AUGUST TRIAL DATE. JUDGE SCOTT MCCARTHY HAS NEVER SET A TRIAL DATE IN. THIS CASE, NOT EVEN BEFORE THE DISQUALIFICATION EFFORT BEGAN WHEN IT WAS IN JANUARY AND NO ONE WAS TALKING ABOUT NATHAN WADE IN FANI WILLIS. THERE’S STILL WAS NO TRIAL DATE. AND SHE ALSO HAS SAID THAT THIS IS A TRIAL THAT COULD TAKE 3 TO 4 MONTHS. SO THE IDEA THAT ARE GOING TO BE ABLE TO GET A TRIAL 3 TO 4 MONTHS IN BEFORE 2024 WHEN PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP COULD POTENTIALLY BECOME PRESIDENT AGAIN, JUST IS STARTING TO SEEM HIGHLY UNLIKELY. >> ALL RIGHT. WELL, THERE ARE DELAYS IN FLORIDA, GEORGIA AND THE D.C. CASE THAT’S ON HOLD PENDING THE SUPREME COURT DECISION THAT WE’RE WAITING FOR. SO OUT OF THE FOUR ONGOING CRIMINAL CASES IS THE HUSH MONEY CASE, THE ONLY ONE WHERE WE COULD ACTUALLY SEE A DECISION BEFORE THE ELECTION? >> WELL, THAT IS BECOMING THE QUESTION. AND THAT’S WHAT’S STARTING TO SEEM INCREASINGLY LIKELY. BUT THE QUESTION REALLY IS GOING TO BECOME WHAT EFFECT COULD A CRIMINAL CONVICTION HAVE ON DONALD TRUMP’S ELECTION CHANCES? THERE ARE POLLS THAT YOU CAN SORT OF TRY GLEAN LITTLE NUGGETS FROM. THINK OF THE ABC NEWS POLL EARLIER THIS WEEK THAT FOUND THAT 4% OF SOME OF HIS SUPPORTERS COULD SAID THAT THEY WOULD NOT SUPPORT HIM IF HE WAS CONVICTED OF A CRIME. AND 4% SEEMED SMALL. BUT WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT HOW TIGHT THE ELECTION SEEMS, THAT COULD BE THE DIFFERENCE. SO IT COULD BE THAT THERE ONLY NEEDS TO BE ONE TRIAL TO HURT DONALD TRUMP. OR IT COULD GO THE OPPOSITE WAY AND A CONVICTION COULD HAVE NO EFFECT ON HIM WHATSOEVER. BUT IT’S SORT OF YOU KNOW, IT DOESN’T NEED TO BE. HOW MANY CONVICTIONS IS HE GOING HAVE? BUT IN SOME WORLD, WILL ONE CHANGE THE ELECTION? BECAUSE IT IS LOOKING LIKE THERE IS GOING TO BE AT LEAST ONE VERDICT THAT COMES DOWN FOR DONALD TRUMP BEFORE THE ELECTION. >> OLIVIA RUBIN, APPRECIATE IT. THANK. WELL, NIKKI HALEY IS EARNING THE TITLE OF THE LAZARUS OF 2024 AND SHOWING DONALD TRUMP THAT HIS GRIP ON THE REPUBLICAN PARTY ISN’T AS TIGHT AS HE HAVE THOUGHT. HALEY DELIVERING A BIT OF A WARNING SIGN FOR THE FORMER PRESIDENT AT LAST NIGHT’S REPUBLICAN PRIMARY IN INDIANA. WHILE TRUMP DID WIN, FORMER CANDIDATE NIKKI HALEY GRABBED 22% OF THE VOTE, EVEN THOUGH SHE DROPPED OUT OF THE RACE IN MARCH. AND THIS ISN’T THE FIRST TIME THE FORMER SOUTH CAROLINA GOVERNOR HAS GATHERED VOTES SINCE EXITING THE RACE. HALEY ACTUALLY GOT A SIGNIFICANT OF VOTES IN PRIMARIES IN PENNSYLVANIA, WISCONSIN, NEW YORK, WASHINGTON ,IN OHIO AND ARIZONA. DEPUTY POLITICAL DIRECTOR AVERI HARPER JOINING ME NOW TO DISCUSS WHAT THIS COULD MEAN ACTUALLY FOR THE BIG GENERAL ELECTION COME NOVEMBER. AVERY, LET’S TALK ABOUT THESE RECENT AND WHAT DOES IT SIGNAL FOR NOVEMBER, YOU THINK AND JUST THE VOTE AGAINST TRUMP? IS IT GOING TO A PATTERN HERE? >> I THINK IT’S DEFINITELY A VULNERABLE FOR FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP, PARTICULARLY IN SOME OF THESE BATTLEGROUND STATES. INDIANA IS NOT NECESSARILY A BATTLEGROUND. IT’S ONE THAT’S RUBY RED. IT’S ONE THAT TRUMP WON BY DOUBLE DIGITS IN 2020. BUT WE’VE SEEN THIS PATTERN AT PLAY IN PLACES LIKE ARIZONA, PLACES LIKE PENNSYLVANIA, WISCONSIN. THOSE ARE STATES WHERE THIS ELECTION IS GOING TO BE WON AND LOST AND LIKELY BY VERY SLIM MARGINS. IT’S IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT, YOU KNOW, SOME OF THIS VOTE COULD HAVE BEEN COMING IN FROM BEFORE NIKKI HALEY DROPPED OUT, BUT IT DOESN’T REPRESENT ALL OF THE VOTE THAT THERE WAS FOR IN STATES LIKE INDIANA, WHERE WE SAW MORE THAN 20% OF VOTERS COME OUT AND VOTE FOR HER. SO THE IS GOING TO BE WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN IN NOVEMBER. WHERE DO THESE VOTERS GO? DO THEY HOLD THEIR NOSE AND VOTE FOR FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP? DO THEY FLIP? DO THEY VOTE FOR BIDEN. DO THEY SIT OUT ALL TOGETHER OR DO THEY TRY AND FIND SOME SORT OF A THIRD PARTY ALTERNATIVE? AGAIN, I THINK THIS IS A VULNERABILITY TRUMP AS WE HEAD INTO NOVEMBER. SO SWITCHING A BIT TO EVEN MORE CONTROVERSY AND THIS IS SURROUNDING TIKTOK, YOU KNOW, THE TIME INVOLVING DONALD TRUMP. YOU KNOW, HE WANTED TO BAN THE CHINESE OWNED PLATFORM WHEN HE WAS PRESIDENT, BUT NOW THERE’S SUPER PAC, MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN, INC., SUPPORTING THE FORMER PRESIDENT’S ELECTION CAMPAIGN WILL BE ON TICK, TICK, TIKTOK, RATHER UNDER THE HANDLE AT MEGA. SO WHY THE FLIP FLOP YOU THINK ? >> WELL, I THINK IT’S IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT THE PAC IS NOT THE CAMPAIGN. BUT I DO THINK THAT THE POLITICAL ACTION COMMITTEE ARGUMENT IS GOING TO BE VERY SIMILAR TO THAT OF THE BIDEN CAMPAIGN. RIGHT. WE’VE SEEN PRESIDENT BIDEN ALSO COME OUT IN SUPPORT OF A TIKTOK BAN. BUT THERE IS A FEELING ON BOTH SIDES OF THE AISLE NOW WE’RE GOING TO SEE MAGA ON TIKTOK THAT POWERFUL. THIS IS A POWERFUL PLATFORM, TIKTOK IS. AND THEY CANNOT ALLOW FOR ANY PLATFORM TO GO UNADDRESSED OR FOR THEM NOT TO UTILIZE ANY SPECIFIC PLATFORM THAT IS AS POWERFUL AS TIK TOK, PARTICULARLY REACH YOUNG VOTERS. IT’S GOING TO BE AN IMPORTANT TOOL FOR THEM TO REACH YOUNG VOTERS WITH THEIR MESSAGE. >> ALL RIGHT, AVERI HARPER GOOD TO SEE YOU. >> WELL, COMING UP, BEYONCE MAY BE BLOWING UP THE COUNTRY CHARTS, BUT CLEVE FRANCIS WAS THE SECOND BLACK COUNTRY ARTIST EVER SIGNED TO A MUSIC LABEL SINCE CHARLEY PRIDE IN 1965. HOW THIS PIONEER PAVED THE WAY FOR QUEEN BEE DECADES AGO. >> LET’S GO. THIS SHIP IS INCREDIBLE. IT FEELS LIKE LIVING IN A SCIENCE FICTION MOVIE. WE JUST SAW. WHAT? NO HAS SEEN BEFORE. LOOK AT THAT. OH, MY GOSH. WOW. WE ARE HEADING INTO THE UNKNOWN. HAMMER. HAMMER. IT DOESN’T GET MORE CUTTING EDGE. AND THIS TONIGHT TRACKING THE DEADLY TORNADO OUTBREAK AND AS THE SEVERE WEATHER MOVES EAST ACROSS THE ISRAEL-HAMAS AND RAFAH, WHAT HAPPENS NEXT? MORE AMERICANS TURN. TO WORLD NEWS TONIGHT WITH DAVID MUIR, THE MOST WATCHED NEWSCAST ON TELEVISION. RICKI LAKE, WHEN SHE WAS TOLD THAT USING HIS EPIC WAS HER OPTION TO LOSE WEIGHT. WHAT DID SHE DO NEXT THAT HAS HER HEALTHIER HAPPIER AND LOOKING LIKE THIS TOMORROW? RICKY’S HERE TO SHARE HER SECRETS OF HOW SHE DID IT WITHOUT OZEMPIC ON GOOD MORNING AMERICA. >> FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER, TWO BLACK ARTISTS ARE NOW AT THE TOP, THE BILLBOARD CHARTS AND BACK TO BACK FOR THEIR COUNTRY HITS. BEYONCE AND BOOSIE ARE BLOWING UP BILLBOARD HISTORY. IT’S A MOMENT IN MUSIC THAT’S FINALLY GIVING UNSUNG HEROES DUE ARTISTS LIKE CLEVE FRANCIS, WHO PAVED THE WAY FOR THE BLACK COUNTRY ARTIST DECADES AGO. >> FROM THE SCENE DOWN IN TEXAS ,RIGHT DOWN THERE, ALL THE BIG GETS MORE AND MORE LAVISH. >> OH, YEAH. THAT IS A YOUNG FRANCIS, THE SECOND BLACK COUNTRY ARTIST EVER SIGNED TO A MUSIC LABEL SINCE CHARLEY PRIDE IN 1965. BUT IT WAS A STRUGGLE. AMERICA WASN’T READY UNTIL NOW. SO AS WE WATCH BEYONCE, A BOOM IN COUNTRY, WE ALSO ARE GETTING A CHANCE TO HEAR THE ORIGINALS LIKE CLEVE AS THEY ARE FEATURED IN. FROM WHERE I STAND, THE BLACK EXPERIENCE IN COUNTRY MUSIC. THE NEW BOX SET THAT EXPLORES BLACK MUSICIANS AND THEIR ROLE IN THE EVOLUTION OF COUNTRY MUSIC. IT WAS JUST REISSUED THROUGH THE COUNTRY MUSIC HALL OF FAME IN NASHVILLE. CLEVE ME HERE ON SET, ALONG WITH MICHAEL GRAY, HISTORIAN FOR THE COUNTRY HALL OF FAME. GENTLEMEN, IT’S SO GREAT TO HAVE YOU BOTH HERE. GLAD TO BE HERE. SO, CLEVE, LET ME START WITH YOU. I MEAN, WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT BEYONCE’S GAME CHANGING ALBUM? >> THIS IS WHILE THE SUBJECT IS BACK THE FOREFRONT, IT’S AMAZING. SHE’S EXPLORING A COUNTRY ROOTS AND INTRODUCING NEW ACTS. >> WELL, AND YOU WERE ACTUALLY A CARDIOLOGIST. YOU TURNED COUNTRY MUSIC STAR. >> AND AS I READ MORE ABOUT YOUR STORY, YOU KNOW, IT WAS A STRUGGLE EVEN, THOUGH. YOU MADE THE BILLBOARD CHARTS, YOU STILL HIT WALL. >> WHY? WELL, THEY WERE NOT COUNTRY RADIO DECIDE TO PLAY MY MUSIC. AND IT WAS IT WAS NO THIS WAS NO PLACE FOR BLACK PEOPLE. ALTHOUGH WE WERE HERE FROM THE BEGINNING, THEY STILL TREATED IT AS THOUGH WERE INTERLOPERS AND WE DIDN’T BELONG THERE. >> BUT DIDN’T GIVE UP. >> YOU GREW UP IN A FAMILY WITH NO MONEY IN LOUISIANA, BUT YOUR MOM SAID YOU’RE GOING TO GET AN EDUCATION AND YOU’RE GOING TO PURSUE YOUR DREAMS. >> YES. AND ONE OF THE DREAMS WAS TO CONTINUE MY MUSIC. I WENT ALL THE WAY TO CARDIOLOGY, BUT I KEPT MY LITTLE GUITAR AND I GOT DISCOVERED WHEN I WAS AT SOUTHERN UNIVERSITY ABOUT A PROFESSOR THERE TOLD ME I WAS SINGING COUNTRY AND FOLK MUSIC AND I KEPT DOING IT. >> YEAH. AND HE ASKED YOU. HE ACTUALLY MADE THINGS HAPPEN FOR YOU AND MICHAEL. I KNOW YOU ALL ABOUT CLEVE, BECAUSE AT YOUR MUSEUM, YOU HAVE HONORED BLACK ROOTS WITHIN COUNTRY MUSIC FOR DECADES AS A MUSEUMS HISTORIAN. YOU HAVE MADE SURE THAT BLACK PIONEERS IN, COUNTRY MUSIC ARE PROPERLY PORTRAYED FOR WHAT THEY’VE DONE. AND CONTINUE TO DO. TELL ME WHY IT’S SO IMPORTANT. JUST TO HIGHLIGHT AND REMEMBER THIS GENRE. >> YEAH. THANK YOU, KYRA. BLACK AMERICANS HAVE ALWAYS CREATED COUNTRY MUSIC, PLAIN AND SIMPLE. AND IT’S OUR JOB AS A COUNTRY HISTORY MUSEUM TO TELL THE STORY AND TELL IT ACCURATELY. AND WE DO THAT THROUGH OUR EXHIBITS, YOU KNOW, STARTING ALL THE WAY BACK TO THE ROOTS OF COUNTRY MUSIC THAT GO BACK CENTURIES, WHICH LEADS US TO THE BOX SET, WHICH ORIGINALLY WAS YOUR IDEA, CLEVE? BACK IN 1995, YOU STARTED THE BLACK COUNTRY MUSIC ASSOCIATION. >> YOU KNEW THERE NEEDED TO BE SOME SORT OF SOMETHING TO REMEMBER THEMAZING BLACK ARTISTS IN THIS IN THIS GENRE. WHY DID YOU FEEL A NEED TO DO THAT? >> WELL, PEOPLE KEPT TELLING ME, WHY ARE YOU INTERESTED IN COUNTRY MUSIC AT AND I HAD GROWN UP AROUND IT. SO I SAID, WELL, PEOPLE JUST DON’T KNOW. SO I FORMED THIS GROUP CALLED THE BLACK COUNTRY MUSIC ASSOCIATION, WENT OVER TO TALK TO THE COUNTRY MUSIC HALL OF FAME AND TOLD THEM ABOUT THE DILEMMA WE NEEDED TO IDENTIFY THOSE PEOPLE AND LET THE BOTH BLACK AND WHITE PUBLIC NO. THAT WE’RE ALL HERE. AND WE WERE SINCE THE BEGINNING . WELL, YOU IDENTIFIED THEM. ALL RIGHT, MICHAEL. THIS PARTNERSHIP WITH CLEVE AND THIS BOX SET, WHICH CHRONICLES THE HISTORY, BLACK MUSICIANS AND THE CONTRIBUTIONS TO COUNTRY MUSIC. I JUST WANT TO TAKE A QUICK LISTEN TO THE SOUNDS OF THE CAROLINA CHOCOLATE DROPS FEATURING, RHIANNON GIDDENS. >> LET’S TAKE A LISTEN. RUBY, HONEY, ARE YOU MAD AT TOM? WELL, THIS PARTNERSHIP IS INCREDIBLE. EVEN EDUCATING PEOPLE FOR DECADES AND THE MUSEUM ALONG WITH YOU. AND NOW WE’RE SEEING THESE NEW ARTISTS, LIKE BEYONCÉ AND SHIBU, WE BLOW THINGS UP. I’VE GOT A QUESTION FOR YOU, CLEVE. YOU KNOW, IS THIS THE TIME THAT BLACK ARTISTS WILL FINALLY BE GRANTED SAME FREEDOM AS WHITE ARTISTS AND BE ABLE TO EXIST IN SPACE WITHOUT JUDGMENT? >> WELL, IT WILL DEPEND ON HOW THE RECORD LABELS DO THEY, YOU KNOW, INVESTIGATE? DO THEY LOOK FOR BLACK ARTISTS? AND ONCE YOU IT’S THE LOTTERY. YOU LET ME BUY A LOTTERY TICKET, YOU KNOW, TO MAKE IT IN THIS BUSINESS IS A LOTTERY. EVEN THOUGH YOU GET ON A LABEL, YOU MAY NOT MAKE IT BIG, BUT YOU SHOULD HAVE A CHANCE TO. SO I’M HOPING BLACKS GET A CHANCE TO BUY THE LOTTERY TICKET FOR COUNTRY FAME. WELL, I’LL TELL YOU WHAT I THINK SO MANY HAVE HIT THE LOTTERY AND YOU HELP THEM DO IT. I APPRECIATE YOU SO MUCH BEING HERE. NOW I SEE A CARDIOLOGIST. IF I SWITCH TO COME SEE YOU, WILL YOU TO ME? >> WELL, IF. YEAH, ONCE I TAKE CARE OF YOU MEDICALLY, GUESS I’LL STAY. OKAY, CLEVE. THANK SO MUCH. MICHAEL. IT WAS SO GREAT TO HAVE YOU. I REALLY APPRECIATE YOU BOTH. AND IT WAS SUCH AN HONOR TO TALK ABOUT THIS. THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT. THANKS, MICHAEL. >> THANK YOU. AND IT WAS SO GREAT TO TALK MICHAEL THERE AT THE COUNTRY MUSIC HALL OF FAME. IN ADDITION TO CLEVE YESTERDAY. AND BY THE WAY, RHIANNON GIDDENS, WHO YOU HEARD THERE FROM THE CAROLINA CHOCOLATE DROPS, SHE PLAYED THE BANJO ON BEYONCE’S NEW ALBUM. >> OKAY, THAT WAS WEIRD. I DON’T. >> FRIDAY NIGHT, TWO TEENAGERS LEFT TO GO TO A BIRTHDAY BUT NEVER REACH THEIR DESTINATION. BUT WAS SHOT EXECUTION STYLE. I COULD HEAR MY HEART BEATING. A COLD CASE POSSIBLY BEEN CRACKED. THE HELP OF DNA EVIDENCE AND PRETTY MUCH ALL HELL BREAKS LOOSE. A MINISTER CHARGED WITH MURDER. WERE YOU WORRIED THAT THIS BLACK MAN, YOUR HUSBAND, IS BEING ACCUSED OF MURDERING TWO WHITE TEENAGE GIRLS? MAYBE YOU WERE LIVING WITH? >> YOU JUST DIDN’T KNOW. THEN IN 20 12, FRIDAY NIGHT ON, ABC. RIGHT NOW ON ABC NEWS LIVE, 20 TORNADOES TOUCHING DOWN IN FIVE STATES THIS HOUR, 57 MILLION PEOPLE FACING WEATHER ALERTS WHERE THE STORMS ARE HEADED NEXT. PLUS, FOLD THE AMMO. THE U.S. PAUSING THAT SHIPMENT BOMBS EARMARKED FOR ISRAEL AS AN INVASION OF RAFAH IN THE STRIP LOOMS. THE LATEST ON THAT AND CEASE FIRE TALKS THIS HOUR. AND NIKKI HALEY RISING HER PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN DEAD FOR MONTHS UNTIL NOW. THE FORMER REPUBLICAN CONTENDER JUST GOT MORE THAN 20% OF THE VOTE IN INDIANA’S PRIMARY TROUBLE FOR TRUMP IN NOVEMBER. >> STAY TUNED. GOOD AFTERNOON, EVERYONE. I’M KYRA PHILLIPS. OUR TOP STORY THIS HOUR IS EXTREME WEATHER. A VIOLENT TORNADO OUTBREAK ACROSS SEVERAL STATES. MICHIGAN HIT ESPECIALLY HARD. GOVERNOR GRETCHEN WHITMER THERE DECLARING A STATE OF EMERGENCY . THE SITUATION IS SO BAD, THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ALSO ISSUING ITS EVER TORNADO EMERGENCY. AT LEAST TWO TWISTERS TOUCHING DOWN THE CITY OF PORTAGE. THIS VIDEO SHOWING MAJOR DAMAGE TO A FEDEX FACILITY. AT LEAST 50 PEOPLE THERE INSIDE WHEN THE STORM HIT. >> TAKE A LISTEN. FEDEX, 67 ALONG PORTAGE ROAD FOR AN ENTIRE BUILDING COLLAPSE, A BRAND NEW BUILDING. THIS IS JUST JUST GOT ABOUT 2 TO 3 YEARS OR SO TO GET A TOTAL COLLAPSE. >> SEVERE STORMS ALSO CAUSING MASS DESTRUCTION AT A MOBILE PARK HOME IN KALAMAZOO. A LOT OF HOMES THERE FLIPPED UPSIDE DOWN OR JUST SIMPLY LEFT IN RUINS. MULTIPLE PEOPLE. A LOT OF PEOPLE WAKING UP TO THE EXTENT OF THE DAMAGE THIS MORNING LEADING US THIS HOUR. OUR EXTREME WEATHER TEAM RIGHT THERE IN THE STORM ZONE TRACKING THE FORECAST FOR US. LET’S START WITH YOU, ALEX PRESHA. IN THE HARDEST HIT AREA OF PORTAGE, MICHIGAN, JUST SOUTH OF GRAND RAPIDS. WHAT’S THE SITUATION THIS HOUR? >> HEY, KYRA. SO WE’RE LESS THAN HALF A MILE FROM THAT FEDEX FACILITY THAT WAS COMPLETELY DESTROYED AND YOU’RE SEEING MUCH OF THAT DESTRUCTION HERE IN THIS NEIGHBORHOOD THAT ACTUALLY USED TO BE A GARAGE. THE HOMEOWNER HERE TELLS ME THAT, BELIEVE IT OR NOT, THERE’S A CAR BURIED UNDERNEATH ALL OF THIS. WE’VE SEEN SCENES LIKE THIS ALL OVER THIS COMMUNITY AS PEOPLE ARE TRYING TO TO TO CLEAN UP NOW. AND SO I’M GOING TO PAN OVER HERE AND YOU SEE THIS CLEANUP EFFORT. WELL UNDERWAY. I MEAN, WE’VE GOT WOOD CHIPPERS. WE’VE GOT LOG GRABBERS AND DUMP TRUCKS BROUGHT IN AS THEY’RE TRYING TO GET SOME OF THESE HUGE TREES THAT FELL DURING THE PATH OF THIS STORM OUT OF THE ROAD. A BIG, BIG, BIG EMPHASIS THIS MORNING TO GET SOME OF THIS HEAVY EQUIPMENT IN WAS GETTING UP THOSE LINES. SO WE’VE SEEN THEY WERE ABLE TO ACTUALLY DO A LOT OF THAT. AND SO NOW YOU’RE HEARING THE CHAINSAWS THERE IN THE BACKGROUND. BUT WHAT’S REMARKABLE ABOUT THIS IS AS MUCH DESTRUCTION THAT WE SAW DURING THIS STORM. THE NUMBER OF INJURIES ARE RELATIVELY LOW FOR THIS COMMUNITY. PEOPLE TALKING ABOUT HOW THEY WEATHER THIS STORM OVERNIGHT. >> TAKE A LISTEN. >> WELL, FRAGMENTS FRAGMENT RIGHT NOW. SO REALLY, I WAS JUST THINKING ABOUT MY BABY. THE WHOLE BACK WALL OF THE SALON WAS REMOVED AND THE BATHROOM WAS LIKE COMPLETELY EXPOSED. AND WE’VE HEARD ANECDOTES LIKE THAT OVER AND OVER. PEOPLE THAT HAVE HID OUT IN THE MIDDLE OF THEIR HOME OR IN THE BASEMENT OF THE LIBRARY SEEKING WHEREVER THEY COULD. IT WORKED BECAUSE RELATIVELY LOW NUMBER OF INJURIES COMPARED TO JUST THE SHEER AMOUNT OF DAMAGE YOU’RE SEEING HERE KYRA. >> ALL RIGHT. SO LET’S TAKE IT OVER NOW. >> OUR METEOROLOGIST, MELISSA GRIFFIN. MELISSA, 57 MILLION PEOPLE IN THE TORNADO STORM ZONE. SO WHAT’S THE LATEST TRACK? >> WELL, KYRA, WE’VE SEEN THOSE INCREDIBLE IMAGES THERE IN MICHIGAN WHERE ALEX IS. AND LIKE YOU MENTIONED, THAT FIRST TORNADO EMERGENCY ON RECORD FOR THE STATE OF MICHIGAN WAS ISSUED NIGHT. >> AND UNFORTUNATELY, THE SEVERE WEATHER IS NOT OVER YET BECAUSE I’M TRACKING MORE TORNADO WATCHES. >> MORE TORNADO WARNINGS FOR THE MIDWEST. TAKE LOOK AT THIS. MISSOURI, A LOT OF THE STATE IN IT. AND ANOTHER TORNADO WATCH JUST ISSUED FOR THE WESTERN PART OF THE STATE. BUT THIS ONE STRETCHES ALL THE WAY INTO ILLINOIS, INTO KENTUCKY, CARBONDALE AND PADUCAH. YOU’RE INCLUDED THAT AS THAT LINE OF EXTREME STORMS STARTS FIRING UP LATER THIS AFTERNOON. BUT IT’S NOT JUST THE TORNADO WATCH. WE’RE ALSO WATCHING FLASH FLOODING. WE HAVE SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCHES ISSUED AS FAR EAST AS CHARLOTTE, NORTH CAROLINA, AND THESE FLOOD WATCHES INTO CINCINNATI THROUGH TOMORROW MORNING BECAUSE THESE STORMS ARE GOING TO ALSO PRODUCE VERY HEAVY RAIN. AND YOU CAN SEE IT HERE IN THE TIMING. LOOK AT THOSE BRIGHT PINKS AND REDS LIT UP THROUGH TENNESSEE DOWN TO THE SOUTHEAST. AND LOOK AT THIS WIDE AREA FOR SEVERE WEATHER. LIKE YOU SAID, 57 MILLION AMERICANS IN THIS AREA FROM CHARLESTON, WEST VIRGINIA TO LOUISVILLE, ALL THE WAY DOWN TO DALLAS. BUT IT’S THIS ENHANCED REGION. IT’S THE AREA HIGHLIGHTED IN ORANGE. THAT’S WHERE WE COULD SEE THE STRONG TORNADOES LATER THIS AFTERNOON INTO THE EVENING. >> AND THE RED, THAT’S THE SECOND HIGHEST LEVEL FOR SEVERE WEATHER. THIS IS FOR GIANT HAIL. I’M TALKING SOFTBALL UP TO GRAPEFRUIT SIZED HAIL AND WIND DAMAGE COULD REACH 80 MILES PER HOUR FROM SOUTHERN MISSOURI RIGHT ACROSS THROUGH PADUCAH, KENTUCKY, EVEN INCLUDING NASHVILLE, RIGHT INTO THE OVERNIGHT. AND THIS WHOLE SYSTEM, IT PUSHES TOWARDS THE EAST COAST AS WE HEAD INTO THURSDAY, STRETCHING ALL THE WAY DOWN TO THE GULF COAST, INCLUDING PLACES LIKE MOBILE, ALABAMA, BACK THROUGH DALLAS. THEY COULD SEE GIANT HAIL THROUGH AFTERNOON AND EVENING. SO REALLY JUST SUCH A WIDESPREAD WEATHER RISK RIGHT THROUGH THE WEEK KYRA. ALL RIGHT, ALEX PRESHA MELISSA GRIFFIN, THANK YOU BOTH SO MUCH . HOLDING AMMO, BUT SENDING A STRONG TO ISRAEL. DEFENSE SECRETARY LLOYD AUSTIN NOW CONFIRMING THAT THE U.S. IS A WEAPONS SHIPMENT FOR THE COUNTRY, INCLUDING SOME 3500 BOMBS. THIS IS THE FIRST TIME THAT WE KNOW OF THAT THE U.S. HAS DENIED ISRAEL ACCESS TO MILITARY AID TO TRY AND INFLUENCE THIS WAR. THE CONCERN THAT THESE WEAPONS WOULD BE USED IN RAFAH, THE TOWN IN ISRAEL’S CROSSHAIRS NOW, AS MORE THAN A MILLION PALESTINIAN CIVILIANS ARE STILL CURRENTLY REFUGE THERE. PRESIDENT BIDEN URGENTLY WARNING ISRAEL TO INVADE RAFAH FOR THE LAST FEW WEEKS NOW. BUT SO FAR, THOSE WARNINGS HAVE BEEN COMPLETELY IGNORED. THE DEFENSE SECRETARY LAYING OUT THE U.S. POSITION DURING AN EXCHANGE WITH SENATORS EARLIER TODAY. >> WE ARE CURRENTLY REVIEWING SOME NEAR-TERM SECURITY ASSISTANCE SHIPMENT. IN THE CONTEXT OF UNFOLDING EVENTS IN RAFAH, WE’VE BEEN VERY CLEAR, SENATOR, AS YOU KNOW FROM THE VERY BEGINNING, THAT THAT ISRAEL SHOULDN’T LAUNCH A MAJOR ATTACK IN IRAQ WITHOUT ACCOUNTING FOR AND PROTECTING THE CIVILIANS THAT ARE IN THAT SPACE. SEE A WHITE HOUSE CORRESPONDENT SELINA WANG JOINS ME NOW. SO NO SURPRISE WERE PROTESTERS BEHIND THE SECRETARY THERE, SELINA. BUT LET’S JUST TALK ABOUT WHAT THIS MEANS NOW FOR THE FUTURE OF SHIPMENTS OF WEAPONS WEAPONS TO ISRAEL. I MEAN, COULD THIS BE THE FIRST OF MANY PAUSES? >> KYRA, IT COULD BE. I MEAN, THE ADMINISTRATION OFFICIAL TELLING US THAT RIGHT NOW THEY ARE REVIEWING OTHER WEAPONS SHIPMENTS. THEY COULD TO DELAY THEM. BUT NOTHING IS FINAL RIGHT NOW. I MEAN, WHAT SEEN THIS IS A HUGE POLICY SHIFT, KYRA. THIS IS THE FIRST TIME WE KNOW OF THAT THE U.S. HAS ACTUALLY WITHHELD ANY MILITARY AID TO SINCE THE ISRAEL GAZA WAR BEGAN. AND FROM WHAT WE KNOW IS THE WITHHOLDING OF 3500 BOMBS LAST WEEK OVER FEARS THAT IT COULD BE USED IN RAFAH. THAT’S WHERE MORE THAN 1 MILLION CIVILIANS HAVE BEEN SHELTERING. AND OFFICIALS TELL US THEY’VE REALLY GOT NOWHERE ELSE TO GO. SO THIS IS PART OF THE BROADER PRESSURE CAMPAIGN FROM THE U.S. TO CONVINCE NETANYAHU NOT TO LAUNCH THAT FULL SCALE INVASION OF RAFAH. WE HAVEN’T SEEN IT YET, BUT OFFICIALS TELL ME THEY’RE VERY CONCERNED ABOUT WHAT COULD COME. AND IT’S JUST ANOTHER EXAMPLE OF THE GROWING RIFT BETWEEN THE U.S. AND ISRAEL OVER ITS CONDUCT IN GAZA. SO, SYLEENA, TALK ABOUT LAWMAKERS AND HOW THEY’RE REACTING TO HOLDING THIS AMMO. >> YEAH, WELL, KYRA, WE ARE SEEING OF THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION FROM BOTH SIDES. ON ONE HAND, YOU HAVE REPUBLICANS ARE VERY CRITICAL OF THIS MOVE. IN FACT, I WAS JUST SPEAKING TO SENATOR REPUBLICAN SENATOR JONI ERNST YESTERDAY AND SHE SAID SHE HAD NO PRIOR FROM THE ADMINISTRATION THAT THEY WERE GOING TO WITHHOLD THESE WEAPONS SHIPMENTS, THAT SHE BELIEVES IT UNDERMINES AMERICA’S COMMITMENT TO ISRAEL’S SECURITY. AND ALSO TODAY IN FRONT OF LLOYD AUSTIN, THE SECRETARY OF DEFENSE, YOU HEARD REPUBLICAN SENATOR LINDSEY GRAHAM RIPPING INTO THIS DECISION. TAKE A LISTEN TO HE SAID HERE. >> IF WE STOP WEAPONS NECESSARY TO DESTROY THE ENEMIES OF THE STATE, ISRAEL AT A TIME OF GREAT PERIL, WE WILL PAY A PRICE. THIS IS OBSCENE. IT IS ABSURD. GIVE ISRAEL WHAT THEY NEED TO FIGHT THE WAR. >> THEY CAN’T AFFORD TO LOSE. >> BUT, KYRA, YOU DID HAVE DEMOCRATIC SENATORS PUSHING BACK AGAINST LINDSEY GRAHAM, INCLUDING SENATOR CHRIS MURPHY, WHO SAID THAT HISTORY SHOWS US THAT THE APPLICATION OF OVERWHELMING FORCE CAN, IN FACT, GROW TERRORIST THREATS, NOT SHRINK THEM. AND, OF COURSE, KYRA, ON THE MORE PROGRESSIVE WING OF PRESIDENT BIDEN’S PARTY, WELL, THEIR CRITICISM IS THAT THIS WITHHOLDING OF SHIPMENTS IS TOO, TOO LATE. AFTER ALL OF THE DEATH AND DESTRUCTION WE’VE ALREADY SEEN IN GAZA. ALL RIGHT. OUR SELINA WANG AT THE WHITE HOUSE. SELINA, THANK YOU. WELL, BOMBS AND TALKS MAY BE AT A STANDSTILL RIGHT NOW. THE SUFFERING OF INNOCENT CONTINUES. MILLIONS OF PALESTINIANS ARE THE ONES NEED A CEASEFIRE NOW MORE THAN EVER. THE U.N. AGAIN WARNING THAT THE GAZA STRIP REACH TOTAL FAMINE IN JUST SIX WEEKS NOW. AND THAT’S WHY ORGANIZATIONS, LIKE UNICEF ARE STILL ON THE GROUND ATTEMPTING TO BRING LIFESAVING SUPPORT TO HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF CHILDREN AND WOMEN WHO ARE FACING MALNOURISHMENT AND TRAUMA AT THIS VERY MOMENT. WE FIRST CAUGHT UP WITH TESSA INGRAM FOR UNICEF WHEN SHE WAS ON THE GROUND IN RAFAH LAST MONTH. SHE JOINS ME AGAIN, THIS TIME STATESIDE. SO TEST THE U.N. HAS BEEN WARNING OF FAMINE FOR FOUR MONTHS NOW. YOU WERE THERE IN RAFAH. LET’S TALK ABOUT THE OPTIONS THAT THESE PALESTINIANS HAVE. DO THEY REALLY OPTIONS AND HOW MUCH LONGER IS THIS ACTUALLY SUSTAINABLE? WELL, LOOK, WE WE KNOW THAT PEOPLE OPTIONS. BUT THE QUESTION IS, ARE THOSE OPTIONS FEASIBLE AND ARE THEY SAFE? AND THE ANSWER TO THAT IS NO. WE KNOW THAT PEOPLE ARE BEING ENCOURAGED TO LEAVE RAFAH, BUT THERE REALLY IS NO GOOD PLACE FOR THEM TO GO. AREAS TO THE NORTH HAVE BEEN DECIMATED BY THE FIGHTING. I WAS THERE AND WAS SHOCKED BY THE LEVEL OF DESTRUCTION IN PLACES LIKE KHAN YUNIS, WHERE BUILDINGS DUST AND RUBBLE BASICALLY, AND THERE’S UNEXPLODED ORDNANCE THAT PEOPLE NEED TO BE AWARE OF. AND SO IT’S A VERY DANGEROUS PLACE. OTHER THAN THAT, PEOPLE ARE BEING ENCOURAGED TO MOVE CLOSER TO THE COAST, TO A SO-CALLED ZONE PULLED OUT MORSY. AND THERE WE KNOW THAT THERE’S NO BASIC SERVICES, IT’S ESSENTIALLY A SAND DUNES. SO PEOPLE’S OPTIONS ARE REALLY LIMITED. >> AND AS A RESULT, PEOPLE ARE TERRIFIED. >> SO A MILLION PLUS CIVILIANS ARE CURRENTLY SEEKING REFUGE IN RAFAH. WE’VE TALKED ABOUT THIS NUMBER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER AGAIN, AND THEY’VE BEEN TOLD TO EVACUATE TO PLACES LIKE AL MOUSAWI, KHAN YUNIS, THAT’S FURTHER NORTH WHERE ISRAEL, HUMANITARIAN AID, WATER, FOOD, MEDICAL EQUIPMENT AND SHELTER WILL ALL BE PROVIDED. IS THAT TRUE? AND ARE THOSE CONDITIONS LIKE. >> SO WE’RE NOT SEEING EVIDENCE YET OF MASS SUPPORT AND SERVICES FOR THE PEOPLE WHO ARE BEING DISPLACED. WE HAVEN’T CONSISTENTLY FOR THE LAST SEVEN MONTHS. NOT ONLY HAS THAT NOT BEEN PROVIDED, BUT ALSO OUR ABILITY TO DELIVER THAT HAS BEEN RESTRICTED AT EVERY TURN. SO, YOU KNOW, THIS CONTINUES TO BE A CHALLENGE AND THE CHILDREN IN GAZA ARE THE ONES SUFFERING AS A RESULT OF THE CONDITIONS THAT THEY’RE LIVING IN, IN MAKESHIFT SHELTERS ARE JUST ABYSMAL. YOU REALLY HAVE TO SEE IT TO BELIEVE IT. PEOPLE ARE CRAMMED INTO VERY SMALL TENTS. THE LINES FOR TOILETS IS INCREDIBLE REALLY LONG. AND SO PEOPLE HAVE TO RESORT TO OTHER OPTIONS THAT ARE UNSANITARY AND IT CREATES DISEASE THAT EXACERBATES MALNUTRITION. SO THESE ARE REALLY DEADLY CYCLES THAT WE’RE TALKING ABOUT. THE CHILDREN. SO CLEARLY WE NEED TO FACT CHECK WHAT ISRAEL IS TELLING US. IT’S A DIFFERENT STORY FROM WHAT YOU’VE SEEN THERE ON THE GROUND AND NONPARTISAN. SO LET’S TALK ABOUT THE AID FOR GAZA THAT WAS JUST LOADED ON THIS SHIP IN CYPRUS TODAY FOR WHAT’S EXPECTED TO BE THE FIRST AID DELIVERED TO THAT NEWLY BUILT PORT ALONG THE GAZA STRIP. WHAT WILL BE ON THAT SHIP, DO YOU THINK? TESTS AND WHERE WILL ALL THOSE ITEMS GO FIRST AND HOW WILL IT BE DISTRIBUTED? >> YEAH, LOOK, WE CAN WE CAN ONLY HOPE THAT THAT SHIP CONTAINS LIFESAVING SUPPLIES THAT NOT ONLY REACHED THE SHORE BUT THEN ABLE TO BE SAFELY DISTRIBUTED TO THE VULNERABLE PEOPLE ACROSS, THE GAZA STRIP. AND IT’S TAKEN ON AN EXTRA LEVEL OF IMPORTANCE BECAUSE WITH WHAT IS HAPPENING IN RAFAH. THE TWO KEY LAND CROSSINGS, RAFAH AND KARAM SHALOM HAVE BEEN CLOSED SINCE SUNDAY, AND SO WE HAVEN’T BEEN ABLE TO GET IN ANY AID SINCE SUNDAY, INCLUDING FUEL WHICH IS A TRAGEDY BECAUSE FUEL IS THE THING THAT KEEPS EVERYTHING MOVING IN, INCLUDING THE HOSPITALS AND THE WATER PLANTS AND OUR DELIVERY TRUCKS . SO WE REALLY NEED TO GET MORE AID INTO THE GAZA STRIP, BUT THEN MAKE SURE THAT WE CAN DISTRIBUTE AS WELL IN THESE REALLY DANGEROUS AND, DIFFICULT CONDITIONS. >> YOU KNOW, I DEFINITELY BEFORE WE GO, I WANT TO JUST TALK ABOUT DESPITE THE DEVASTATION, I KNOW WHAT YOU AND PEOPLE LIKE JAMES ELDER AS WELL WITH UNICEF ,DO FOR THESE PALESTINIAN CHILDREN. AND THERE’S STILL TRYING TO FIND WAYS TO BE POSITIVE, TO SMILE, TO JUST BE KIDS. AND YOU HAVE BEEN THERE WHEN THEY’VE BEEN FLYING KITES. THEY’VE IN THE OPEN FIELDS CREATING MAKESHIFT SWINGS. I LOVE IT WHEN YOU ARE ABLE TO DOCUMENT THESE MOMENTS, EVEN ARTS AND CRAFTS AND MAKING THINGS TO DISTRACT THEMSELVES FROM WHAT’S GOING ON. IT’S LIKE THEY ARE STILL FINDING THE HUMANITY THROUGH ALL THIS HEARTBREAK. AND IT’S JUST IT REALLY THIS IS LIKE THIS LOOKS LIKE A WHOLE DIFFERENT SITUATION THAN WHAT IS REALLY GOING ON. IT’S BEAUTIFUL. >> SEE THAT THEY COULD STILL BE KIDS. YEAH. AND IT’S IMPORTANT THAT WE REMEMBER THAT, I THINK, BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, WE OFTEN TALK ABOUT THE HOSTILITIES AND THE NEGATIVE IMPACTS OF THAT. SO AT THE END OF THE DAY, WE’RE TALKING ABOUT CHILDREN. 600,000 OF THEM SEEKING SHELTER IN RAFAH AND. THEY JUST WANT TO BE KIDS. THEN THEY DON’T UNDERSTAND REALLY WHAT’S AROUND THEM. THEY WANT TO PLAY AND LAUGH WITH THEIR FRIENDS. THEY MISS GOING TO SCHOOL FOR THE LAST SEVEN MONTHS. SO IT’S IMPORTANT FACT FOR US TO REMEMBER THAT RAFAH REALLY IS A CITY OF CHILDREN AND. IMAGES LIKE THIS, I THINK, ARE IMPORTANT FOR US TO SEE, TO REALLY DRIVE HOME. AND KEEP IN MIND THAT AT THE END OF THE DAY, THESE KIDS WANT PEACE AND THEY DESERVE IT AND THEY DESERVE THESE MOMENTS AND THEY ALSO DESERVE TO BE BACK IN SCHOOL. TESSA INGRAM, APPRECIATE EVERYTHING THAT YOU DO. THANK YOU. SO HERE AT HOME, TEARING DOWN ENCAMPMENTS AND PUTTING PROTESTERS UNDER ARREST. NEW CLASHES TODAY BETWEEN POLICE AND DEMONSTRATIONS ON COLLEGE OR DEMONSTRATORS, RATHER, ON COLLEGE CAMPUSES IN D.C.. YOU’RE ACTUALLY SEEING THE POLICE PEPPER SPRAYING THE PROTESTERS THERE AND HAVING TO BREAK UP AN ENCAMPMENT AT GEORGE WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY. AT LEAST 33 PEOPLE WERE ARRESTED THERE OVERNIGHT. AND THEN IN NEW YORK, POLICE WERE BREAKING UP AN ENCAMPMENT AT THE FASHION INSTITUTE OF TECH. ROUGHLY 50 PEOPLE THERE WERE ARRESTED. PHIL LIPOFF IS FOLLOWING ALL THE LATEST DEVELOPMENTS FROM CAMPUS TO CAMPUS. >> WHERE SHOULD WE START? GW? YEAH, GW IS A GOOD PLACE TO START, KYRA. WHAT HAPPENED THERE HAPPENED IN THE EARLY HOURS TODAY. POLICE IN D.C. MOVED IN TO CLEAR OUT AN ENCAMPMENT AS WE’VE SEEN AT SO MANY OTHER COLLEGES. >> THE CAMPUS HAS BEEN THERE FOR A. THERE WAS A SKIRMISH, AS YOU CAN SEE HERE IN THE END, 33 PEOPLE, AS YOU MENTIONED, WERE ARRESTED. WHAT’S INTERESTING ABOUT THIS PARTICULAR INCIDENT AT GW, IT HAPPENED HOURS BEFORE WASHINGTON MAYOR MURIEL BOWSER AND HER POLICE CHIEF WERE SCHEDULED TO TESTIFY FRONT OF A CONGRESSIONAL COMMITTEE INVESTIGATING THE RESPONSE TO. THIS ENCAMPMENT THAT’S BEEN THERE FOR MORE THAN A WEEK. WHEN HOUSE OVERSIGHT CHAIR JAMES, A REPUBLICAN FROM KENTUCKY, HEARD ABOUT THE POLICE ACTION EARLY THIS MORNING, HE ANNOUNCED THE HEARING WAS CANCELED. AND ACTUALLY TOOK CREDIT FOR THE ACTION, SAYING THAT THE THREAT OF A HEARING, THE POLICE AND THE MAYOR TO MOVE IN. >> SO NEW YORK CITY HAS BEEN THE EPICENTER OF THESE PROTESTS, AS YOU I HAVE BEEN REPORTING FOR WEEKS NOW. SPECIFICALLY, COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY. BUT WITH THE FINAL ENCAMPMENT BROKEN UP AT YORK’S FASHION INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY, IS THERE A SENSE THAT THIS COULD MAYBE BE WRAPPING UP, AT LEAST FOR NOW? THAT’S HARD TO SAY, KYRA, BECAUSE MANY OF THE PROTESTERS WE SPOKE TO AT ALL OF THESE ENCAMPMENTS AROUND THE NEW YORK CITY AREA, AT LEAST THEY SAY THEY’RE NOT GOING TO STOP PROTESTING UNTIL THERE IS A CEASE FIRE. SO WE’LL HAVE TO SEE WHAT HAPPENS WITH ANY KIND OF CEASE FIRE DEAL THAT HAMAS AND ISRAEL IS WORKING ON OR THE WAR COMING TO AN END. AND IN ANY WAY. AS FOR FIGHT, LAST NIGHT, AS YOU CAN SEE, NYPD OFFICERS IN HELMETS AND RIOT GEAR, THEY WERE CARRYING ZIP TIES, GAVE THE ORDER TO CLEAR OUT THE ENCAMPMENTS OR FACE ARREST. 10 MINUTES LATER AFTER THAT ORDER. THIS THEY MOVED IN AND MADE DOZENS OF ARRESTS. THEY HAVE THAT CAMPUS CLEARED OR AT LEAST THE ENCAMPMENT PART OF THAT CAMPUS CLEARED IN ABOUT 30 MINUTES OR SO. SO WHETHER IT STOPS IT OR NOT, KYRA, WE’LL HAVE TO SEE. THERE’S DEFINITELY BEEN PROTESTING OUTSIDE OF CAMPUS AS TO WE’VE SEEN THAT AT NYU. NOW THAT THE ENCAMPMENTS ARE CLEARED CAMPUS. >> ALL RIGHT, PHIL LIPOFF APPRECIATE. >> THANKS SO MUCH. COMING UP, DONALD TRUMP. HE WON INDIANA PRIMARY LAST NIGHT, BUT NOT ALL THE NUMBERS POINT TO FUTURE. WE’LL EXPLAIN NEXT. WHAT’S GOOD TO WATCH? READ WHERE CAN I GET A GREAT DEAL ON WHAT I’M JUST DYING TO BUY? >> OH, IT’S ALL RIGHT HERE, "GMA LIFE". ALL THE AND BUZZIEST CELEBRITY GOOD STUFF DEALS AND, STEALS WITH AMAZING SAVINGS AND THE COOLEST LIFESTYLE TIPS FROM GOOD MORNING AMERICA. I LOVE THAT SO MUCH. YOU MAY LIVESTREAM ON ABC NEWS LIVE. YOUR WEEKEND JUST GOT A LITTLE BETTER WITH "GMA LIFE" WHEN IT MATTERS MOST, AMERICA TURNS TO DAVID MUIR AND ABC’S "WORLD NEWS TONIGHT" FROM THE TEAM THAT BROUGHT YOU THE DUPONT AWARD WINNING REPORT A GROUNDBREAKING NEW INVESTIGATE SPANNING 9000 MILES TRASHED THE SECRET LIFE OF EXOTIC EXPORTS STREAM FREE ON HULU. >> LET’S GO. WE ARE HEADING INTO THE UNKNOWN. OH, MY GOD. WE JUST. WHAT NO ONE HAS SEEN BEFORE. IT DOESN’T GET ANY CUTTING EDGE. AND THIS? WHY DO SO MANY PEOPLE START THEIR DAY HERE? FROM ABC NEWS THIS IS "START HERE" TO BE IN THE KNOW AND GET A DIFFERENT TAKE ON THE DAY’S TOP STORIES. A LOT OF NEWS TODAY SO LET’S GET INTO IT. LISTEN NOW TO THE DAILY NEWS PODCAST HONORED WITH FOR EDWARD ARE MURROW AWARDS AND SEE WHY THE NEW YORK CALLS IT A NEWS PODCAST WORTH LISTENING TO. STAR HERE ABC NEWS MAKE IT YOUR DAILY FIRST LISTEN NOW THAT’S A PART OF THE STORY THAT YOU DIDN’T SEE COMING. >> WHEREVER YOU GET YOUR PODCASTS, START HERE. >> YOU’RE WATCHING AMERICA’S NUMBER STREAMING NEWS MY REPORTING, BREAKING NEW EXCLUSIVES KEEP STREAMING WITH ABC NEWS LIVEGLAD YOU’RE S. WELL, HE MAY NOT BE SITTING IN A COURTROOM ACROSS FROM A WOMAN DESCRIBING PRETTY LURID DETAILS ABOUT THEIR ALLEGED. BUT DONALD TRUMP’S LEGAL ISSUES ARE STILL FRONT AND CENTER. THE JUDGE IN THE FORMER PRESIDENT’S FLORIDA DOCUMENTS CASE JUST THAT TRIAL INDEFINITELY. AND A GEORGIA APPEALS COURT DISHING OUT A NEW TWIST IN HIS ELECTION INTERFERENCE CASE. THE SAYS IT WILL HEAR TRUMP’S APPEAL ON A RULING THAT ALLOWED DE FANI WILLIS TO STAY ON THE CASE. TRUMP’S TEAM HAS BEEN ARGUING THAT WILLIS’S RELATIONSHIP WITH FORMER SPECIAL PROSECUTOR NATHAN WADE SHOULD BAR HER. THAT MOVE MAY SIGNIFICANTLY DELAY THE CASE WITH. ELECTION DAY JUST SIX MONTHS AWAY. NOW LET’S BRING IN OUR INVESTIGATIVE REPORTER, OLIVIA RUBIN, TO BREAK IT ALL DOWN. >> SO, OLIVIA, HOW BIG OF A WIN IS THIS? TRUMP AND AT LEAST IN TERMS OF HIS GEORGIA CASE, IT’S A HUGE HERE BECAUSE REMEMBER, WHAT DONALD TRUMP WANTS TO DO IS, DELAY THESE CASES UNTIL AFTER THE 2024 PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION. AND SO THINK ABOUT WHAT HE HAS BEEN ABLE TO DO IN. THIS CASE ALONG WITH A NUMBER OF OTHER DEFENDANTS. THIS ACTUALLY ISN’T ISSUE THAT HAS TO DO WITH THE MERITS OF THE CASE. IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH HIS ALLEGED EFFORTS TO OVERTURN THE 2020 ELECTION. WHAT IT HAS DO IS ALLEGED RELATIONSHIP ERROR. SORRY, A RELATIONSHIP THAT DID OCCUR BETWEEN THE PROSECUTOR THAT CHARGED HIM. SO THEY FOUND A PERSONAL ISSUE THAT THEY HAVE BEEN ABLE TO TAKE SOMETHING THAT COULD POTENTIALLY DERAIL THE ENTIRE CASE. SO REALLY, THE QUESTION NOW BECOMES, HOW LONG IS THIS DELAY GOING BE? BECAUSE REMEMBER, THE APPEALS COURT AGREEING TO HEAR THAT DISQUALIFICATION DOES NOT AUTOMATICALLY STATE IT. AND THE JUDGE WHO OVERSEES THIS ,SCOTT MCCARTHY, HAS VOWED TO KEEP IT GOING, EVEN THE APPEALS COURT TAKES IT UP. BUT REMEMBER WHAT TRUMP AND HIS CO-DEFENDANTS CAN DO NOW IS GO RIGHT TO THE APPEALS COURT AND ASK FOR THAT STAY. AND THE QUESTION IS, WILL THEY GET IT? SO THIS WHOLE COULD TAKE UP TO SIX MONTHS. SO IF THEY GET THIS DAY AND TAKE MONTHS TO GET A RULING ON THIS, YOU’RE ALREADY AT THE ELECTION AND THERE IS NO WAY THAT IT IS GOING TO HAPPEN. SO A HUGE WIN FOR DONALD TRUMP IS SOMETHING THAT HE HAS TO BE PLEASED ABOUT TODAY. SO WHAT’S THE LIKELIHOOD THAT WILL SEE FANI WILLIS REMOVED FROM THIS CASE? WELL, IT DEPENDS HOW THE APPEALS COURT VIEWS MCAFEE’S RULING DID FIND THAT THERE WAS AN APPEARANCE OF A CONFLICT INTEREST. HE DIDN’T FIND AN ACTUAL CONFLICT OF INTEREST. AND WHAT DONALD TRUMP’S TEAM HAS SAID WAS BECAUSE HE FOUND THE APPEARANCE IN GEORGIA LAW SHOULD HAVE REQUIRED FANI WILLIS TO BE REMOVED. THEY SAID THAT HE USED SORT OF AN INCORRECT LEGAL STANDARD. SO THAT IS TO BE ONE OF THE ISSUES BEFORE THE COURT. WE HAVEN’T SEEN DONALD FULL BRIEFING YET THERE. >> BUT THE QUESTION REALLY ISN’T AT MOMENT, WILL SHE BE REMOVED? THE QUESTION REALLY IS, DOES THE CASE EVEN HAPPEN? >> ALL RIGHT. OLIVIA RUBIN, THANKS SO MUCH, MUCH CALMER DAY FOR US TODAY. SO NIKKI HALEY IS EARNING THE TITLE THE LAZARUS OF 2024 AND SHOWING DONALD TRUMP HIS GRIP ON THE REPUBLICAN PARTY ISN’T AS TIGHT AS HE MIGHT HAVE THOUGHT. HALEY ACTUALLY DELIVERING A WARNING SIGN FOR THE FORMER PRESIDENT IN LAST NIGHT’S REPUBLICAN PRIMARY IN INDIANA. WHILE TRUMP DID WIN, FORMER CANDIDATE NIKKI HALEY GRABBED 22% OF THE VOTE, EVEN THOUGH SHE DROPPED OUT OF THE RACE IN MARCH. AND THIS ISN’T THE FIRST TIME THE FORMER SOUTH CAROLINA HAS GATHERED VOTES SINCE EXITING THE RACE. HALEY GOT A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF VOTES IN PRIMARIES IN PENNSYLVANIA, WISCONSIN, NEW YORK, WASHINGTON OHIO AND ARIZONA. OUR DEPUTY POLITICAL DIRECTOR, HARPER, JOIN ME NOW FOR WHAT THIS COULD MAYBE FOR THE GENERAL ELECTION. AVERY, WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT THESE RECENT RESULTS? I MEAN, IS IT A SIGNAL FOR NOVEMBER? AND IS THIS VOTE AGAINST TRUMP GOING TO BECOME POSSIBLY A PATTERN? >> WELL, IT’S SOMETHING THAT WE’VE SEEN IN NUMEROUS STATES SINCE NIKKI HALEY HAS DROPPED OUT, AND IT REPRESENTS A VULNERABILITY FOR TRUMP HEADING INTO. I THINK PARTICULARLY IN SOME OF THESE BATTLEGROUND STATES, IT COULD REPRESENT SOME TROUBLE FOR TRUMP. BUT THERE IS STILL A SIZABLE PORTION OF REPUBLICAN VOTERS THAT ARE LOOKING FOR AN ALTERNATIVE. AND THOSE ARE THE FOLKS WHO ARE STILL VOTING FOR NIKKI HALEY, DESPITE THE FACT SHE’S LONG BEEN OUT OF THIS RACE. SO THESE VOTERS COULD DO A COUPLE OF THINGS ON ELECTION . THEY COULD STAY HOME. THEY COULD IT UP AND VOTE FOR TRUMP. THEY COULD FLIP FOR BIDEN. OR ARE THESE THE KIND OF VOTERS WHO MIGHT GO FOR THIRD PARTY CANDIDATES LIKE, YOU KNOW, RFK JR. WELL, ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE. AND OF COURSE, YES, THEY COULD GO FOR RFK JR OR A CORNEL WEST OR A JILL STEIN. BUT THOSE OPTIONS HAVE TO BE ON THE BALLOT IN THEIR STATES AND IN ORDER FOR THEM TO BE AN ALTERNATIVE TO TRUMP FOR SOME OF THESE REPUBLICAN VOTERS WHO MIGHT BE LOOKING ELSEWHERE. AND THAT’S GOING TO BE THE UPHILL BATTLE FOR THIRD PARTY CANDIDATES BECAUSE THEY ARE NOT NECESSARILY GUARANTEED A SPOT ON BALLOTS ACROSS THE COUNTRY. BUT, YES, THEY COULD BE STAYING HOME. THEY COULD HOLD THEIR AND VOTE FOR FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP OR THEY COULD FLIP TO BIDEN. THINK WE’RE GOING TO SEE A LITTLE BIT OF ALL THREE OF THESE OPTIONS AS. WE WAIT AND SEE WHAT HAPPENS IN NOVEMBER. ALL RIGHT, AVERI HARPER, THANK YOU SO MUCH. >> AND COMING UP, DOZENS OF PASSENGERS FRANTICALLY TRYING TO ESCAPE ON EMERGENCY SLIDES AFTER SMOKE AND SPARKS WERE SPOTTED FROM THEIR AIRPLANE.

WHEREVER THE NEWS IS WILL TAKE YOU THERE. WE’RE STREAMING ABC NEWS LIVE RIGHT NOW ON ABC NEWS LIVE. 20 TORNADOES TOUCHING DOWN IN FIVE STATES THIS HOUR. 57 MILLION PEOPLE FACING WEATHER ALERTS. WHERE THE STORMS ARE HEADED NEXT. PLUS, WE’VE HEARD OF GETTING INSIDE THE MIND OF A PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE, BUT NEVER LIKE THIS. THE NEW YORK TIMES REPORTING RFK JR HAD A INSIDE HIS BRAIN. WHAT DOES THAT MEAN FOR HIS LONGSHOT BID FOR THE WHITE HOUSE? AND STILL NOWHERE TO LIVE. MAUI FACING A MASSIVE SHORTAGE. NINE MONTHS AFTER THOSE DEADLY RIPPED THROUGH THE ISLAND. WE ARE LIVE IN MAUI WITH A CLOSER LOOK AT WHAT’S GOING ON AND WHY. >> GOOD AFTERNOON, EVERYONE. I’M KYRA PHILLIPS. OUR TOP STORY THIS HOUR, EXTREME AND A VIOLENT TORNADO OUTBREAK ACROSS SEVERAL STATES NOW. MICHIGAN HIT ESPECIALLY HARD. GOVERNOR GRETCHEN WHITMER DECLARING A STATE OF EMERGENCY THERE. THAT SITUATION SO BAD THAT THE NATIONAL SERVICE ALSO ISSUED ITS FIRST EVER TORNADO EMERGENCY. AT LEAST TWO TWISTERS TOUCHING DOWN IN THE CITY OF PORTAGE. THIS VIDEO SHOWING MAJOR DAMAGE TO A FEDEX FACILITY. AT LEAST 50 PEOPLE WERE THERE INSIDE WHEN THE STORM HIT. JUST FEDEX, 67 ALONG PORTAGE ROAD FOR AN ENTIRE BUILDING COLLAPSE. >> BRAND BUILDING. THIS IS JUST JUST GOT FINISHED ABOUT 2 TO 3 YEARS OR SO. >> SEVERE STORMS ALSO CAUSING MASS DESTRUCTION IN A MOBILE HOME PARK. IT KALAMAZOO, A LOT OF HOMES THERE FLIPPING UPSIDE DOWN, SIMPLY LEFT IN RUINS. MULTIPLE PEOPLE WERE HURT, A LOT OF THEM WAKING UP TO THE EXTENT OF THE. LETTING US OFF THIS OUR EXTREME WEATHER TEAM RIGHT THERE IN THE STORM ZONE TRACKING THE FORECAST AS WELL. LET’S START WITH YOU, ALEX PRESHA. AND THE HARD AREA OF PORTAGE JUST SOUTH OF GRAND RAPIDS. WHAT’S THE SITUATION WHERE YOU ARE RIGHT NOW? >> HEY, KYRA. SO WE’VE BEEN TRACKING THIS ALL DAY, BUT THIS IS THE CLEANUP EFFORT THAT IS NOW. YOU’RE LOOKING AT THIS MASSIVE TREE BACK HERE THAT FELL INTO SOMEONE’S HOME. RIGHT NOW, CREWS ARE TRYING CHOP IT UP INTO PIECES TO HELP REMOVE IT. WE’VE SEEN EFFORTS LIKE THIS GOING ON ALL AROUND THIS AREA. MIND YOU, WE’RE ABOUT ABOUT HALF MILE FROM THAT FEDEX FACILITY THAT WAS COMPLETELY DESTROYED. AND THE ROOF RIPPED OFF LIKE A TIN CAN THERE. BUT ONE OF THE BIG CHALLENGES FOR CREWS LIKE THIS, WHEN SEE THIS THIS THIS LOG PICKER UPPER CONTRAPTION HERE, ONE OF THE BIG CHALLENGES FOR THEM TODAY HAS BEEN DEALING WITH THE POWER LINES THERE. A LOT OF DOWNED LINES. IN FACT, ON MY WAY OVER HERE, I SAW TRYING TO TRYING TO DEAL WITH SOME THE VERY END OF THIS STREET. IT’S MADE IT HARD TO GET A LOT OF THIS HEAVY INTO PLACES LIKE THIS TO BEGIN THIS THIS REMEDIATION EFFORT, THESE REMEDIATION EFFORTS AND CHOP UP TREES LIKE THIS. BUT WE KNOW THAT THE RESPONSE HERE HAS BEEN BIG. GOVERNOR GRETCHEN WHITMER DECLARING A STATE OF EMERGENCY FOR THIS COUNTY, KALAMAZOO COUNTY, ALONG WITH A COUPLE OF OTHERS. >> TAKE A LOOK HERE. TAKE A LISTEN TO WHAT SHE SAID EARLIER TODAY. THE IS REAL. THERE ARE A LOT OF DISPLACED FAMILIES, A LOT OF BUSINESSES THAT HAVE BEEN THAT ARE GOING TO STRUGGLE BECAUSE THE WAKE OF THIS. AND THAT’S WHY IT WAS IMPORTANT THAT WE DECLARED THE LAST NIGHT SO THAT WE CAN EXPEDITE SUPPORT . AND SO, KYRA, ONE OF THE THINGS WE’VE HEARD FROM FAMILIES THAT WE’VE TALKED TO TODAY IS, LOOK, THERE IS A SENSE OF OF FEELING THANKFUL, THANKFUL THINGS WEREN’T WORSE OR THAT THEIR LOVED ONES WEREN’T HURT. BUT THERE’S ALSO REALIZATION THAT THERE IS A LOT OF THIS LEFT IS PICKING UP THIS KEEPING THE PEACE AS THE CLEANING UP RE. A LOT OF THIS LEFT IN THIS AS THEY WRAP UP THE CHAINSAWS BEHIND ME. WE SEE A LOT OF NEIGHBORS HELPING, BUT THIS IS GOING TO BE A LONG ROAD FORWARD. >> WELL, AND YOU CAN TELL THEY’RE IN THERE FOR THE LONG HAUL AS WELL. ALL RIGHT. LET’S TAKE IT TO OUR METEOROLOGIST, MELISSA GRIFFIN NOW. MELISSA, 57 MILLION PEOPLE ARE IN A TORNADO STORM ZONE TODAY. >> WHAT’S THE LATEST TRACK? WELL, KYRA, MAY IS THE PEAK MONTH FOR TORNADOES. IT’S REALLY LIVING UP TO ITS NAME BECAUSE I HAVE MORE TORNADO WATCHES TO TALK ABOUT. THEY KEEP GETTING ISSUED AND EXTENDING FURTHER EAST, INCLUDING NASHVILLE NOW UNDER THAT TORNADO WATCH THROUGH 9:00 TONIGHT. WE’RE STILL WATCHING TORNADO WARNINGS. THE RADAR INDICATED JUST IN EASTERN MISSOURI MOVING INTO PARTS OF SOUTHERN ILLINOIS, INCLUDING CARBONDALE. BUT LOOK AT THE NEW TORNADO WATCH NOW STRETCHING FROM EVANSVILLE, INDIANA, ACROSS SO MUCH OF KENTUCKY, BASICALLY ALL OF KENTUCKY IN A TORNADO WATCH THERE. AND THIS ONE EXTENDING INTO NORTHERN TENNESSEE. THAT INCLUDES NASHVILLE COOKS BILL. SO YOU’RE GOING TO SEE THESE STORMS CONTINUE TO FIRE UP ALL NIGHT LONG. AND NOT ONLY WILL THEY PRODUCE THAT SEVERE WEATHER, I’M ALSO FOR THE POTENTIAL OF FLASH FLOODING, EVEN PLACES THAT ARE NOT UNDER TORNADO OR SEVERE WEATHER WATCHES. LOUISVILLE TO CINCINNATI OVER THROUGH CHARLESTON, WEST, YOU’RE UNDER FLOOD WATCHES BECAUSE THESE STORMS ARE GOING TO PRODUCE VERY HEAVY RAIN. YOU CAN SEE IT THERE IN OUR FUTURE CAST. RADAR LIT UP IN THE PINKS AND YELLOWS. THAT’S EXTREMELY HEAVY RAIN AND ALSO SEVERE. THE RED AREA HERE, THAT’S WHERE I’M EXPECTING THE HIGHEST RISK FOR VERY LARGE HAIL, DAMAGING WINDS AND STRONG TORNADOES. BUT, KYRA, ONE FROM TEXAS, ALL LIKE THE CAROLINAS, NEEDS TO BE ON ALERT FOR TONIGHT. >> ALL RIGHT, MELISSA, ALEX, THANK YOU BOTH FOR HOLDING, BUT SENDING A STRONG SIGNAL TO ISRAEL. DEFENSE SECRETARY LLOYD NOW CONFIRMING THE U.S. IS PUTTING A PAUSE ON THAT WEAPONS FOR THE COUNTRY, INCLUDING SOME 3500 BOMBS. THIS IS THE FIRST TIME THAT WE KNOW OF THAT THE U.S. HAS DENIED ISRAEL ACCESS TO MILITARY AID TO TRY AND INFLUENCE THIS WAR. THE CONCERN IS NOT THAT THE WEAPONS WOULD BE USED IN RAFAH. THAT’S THE TOWN ISRAEL’S CROSSHAIRS RIGHT NOW WITH MORE THAN A MILLION PALESTINIAN CIVILIANS STILL CURRENTLY SEEKING REFUGE IN THAT AREA. THE SITUATION ALREADY DIRE AS WE KNOW. MEDICAL TEAMS SAYING AT LEAST 30 PEOPLE HAVE DIED. ANOTHER 200 HAVE BEEN INJURED JUST SINCE THEY ARE ALL AS A RESULT OF ISRAELI SHELLING. WE’VE ACTUALLY GOT NEW VIDEO THAT SHOWS CIVILIANS RUNNING FROM THE DAMAGE, RUSHING TO GET WOUNDED INDIVIDUALS TO THE HOSPITAL. OUR FOREIGN CORRESPONDENT MARCUS MOORE IS IN TEL AVIV AND JOINS ME NOW. >> SO, MARCUS, LET’S TALK JUST THE REACTION WITHIN ISRAEL TO THE PAUSE ON AMMO RIGHT NOW. >> YEAH, CERTAINLY IT’S GETTING ATTENTION. AND ONE OF THE THE STATEMENTS THAT WE HAVE IS FROM A SPOKESPERSON FROM THE IDF, DANIEL HARARI, AND HERE’S A BIT OF WHAT HE SAID EARLIER TODAY IN THE STATEMENT. HE SAID THAT THE AID THAT THEY’VE BEEN RECEIVING IS UNPRECEDENTED AND THAT THE OPERATION PARTNERSHIP WITH THE US IS A SIGNIFICANT AND THAT WHEN THERE ARE DISPUTES AND THAT THERE ARE THERE ARE DISPUTES, THEY’RE BEING RESOLVED BEHIND CLOSED DOORS IN A MATTER OF FACT WAY. AND THAT THAT’S HIS STATEMENT IN PART. BUT — BUT NO DOUBT THEY WILL WANT TO WORK THROUGH THIS AS THE THE MILITARY OPERATION CONTINUES TO UNFOLD. BUT, KYRA, THERE’S A LOT WE DON’T KNOW IN TERMS THE AMOUNT OF AMMO THAT THE IDF HAS CURRENTLY AND REALLY IN THE SHORT TERM, HOW THIS PAUSE WILL IMPACT THEIR WORK ON THE BATTLEFIELD. ALL OF THAT REMAINS TO BE SEEN, BUT CERTAINLY SOMETHING THEY’RE PAYING VERY CLOSE ATTENTION TO. >> SO MORE A MILLION PALESTINIANS ARE TAKING SHELTER THERE IN RAFAH. WE’VE TALKED ABOUT THIS AMID THE HUMANITARIAN CRISIS AND GROUPS INCLUDING THE INTERNATIONAL RESCUE COMMITTEE ARE NOW CALLING ON ISRAEL TO HALT THIS GROUND INCURSION INTO RAFAH, WARNING THAT, YOU KNOW, THESE INNOCENT PEOPLE HAVE NO OTHER PLACE TO GO. SO JUST TALK TO US ABOUT THE CONDITIONS AND WE COULD SEE PLAY OUT HERE. >> WELL, IT REALLY IT’S A DIRE SITUATION. I MEAN, YOU KNOW THIS VERY WELL, KYRA. ALL THE INFORMATION WE HAVE SEEN THROUGH, WITNESS TESTIMONIES, PEOPLE WHO HAVE TAKEN REFUGE IN RAFAH, AND OBVIOUSLY THE PICTURES THAT WE HAVE SEEN FROM THE REGION AND WE’RE TALKING ABOUT WHEN WE TALK ABOUT RAFAH, FOR EXAMPLE, MORE THAN A MILLION PALESTINIANS HAVE GONE THERE TO ESCAPE THE FIGHTING IN CENTRAL AND NORTHERN GAZA. AND SO WHEN YOU COMPOUND THAT WITH THE FACT THAT EVEN BEFORE THIS WAR, MANY PEOPLE NEEDED AID TO SURVIVE. NOW YOU HAVE THIS THIS CIRCUMSTANCES MAKING IT MAKING IT THAT MUCH WORSE. AND SO THE LIVING CONDITIONS ARE QUITE DIRE AND IT REALLY IS A SITUATION THAT CONTINUES TO WORSEN BY DAY, ACCORDING TO AID GROUPS. >> ALL RIGHT, MARCUS MOORE THERE IN TEL AVIV FOR US. MARCUS, THANK YOU. NOW, BACK HERE AT HOME, THE PROTESTS ON U.S. COLLEGE CAMPUSES. THERE ARE NEW CLASHES TODAY WITH POLICE TEARING DOWN ENCAMPMENTS AND PUTTING DEMONSTRATORS UNDER ARREST. IN D.C., IT WAS POLICE PEPPER SPRAYING PROTESTERS HERE, BREAKING UP AN ENCAMPMENT AT GEORGE WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY. AT LEAST 33 PEOPLE THERE ARRESTED. IN NEW YORK CITY, POLICE WERE BREAKING UP AN ENCAMPMENT AT THE FASHION INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY, ROUGHLY 50 PEOPLE ARRESTED THERE. AND WE’RE ALSO HEARING FROM A REPORTER WHO WAS DETAINED BY POLICE DURING A PROTEST AT CAL POLY HUMBOLDT A LITTLE OVER A WEEK AGO. >> THAT’S WHERE WE BRING IN OUR PHIL LIPOFF. HE’S FOLLOWING ALL THE LATEST DEVELOPMENTS. SO LET’S TALK ABOUT G.W. FIGHT. KIND OF WALK US THROUGH EXACTLY HAPPENED ON THOSE CAMPUSES, PHIL? >> OKAY. WELL, WE’LL START IN D.C., WHERE ARE. POLICE MOVED IN EARLY THIS MORNING TO CLEAR OUT AN ENCAMPMENT THAT. >> HAD BEEN THERE FOR ROUGHLY NINE DAYS. THERE WAS A SKIRMISH 33 PEOPLE, AS YOU MENTIONED, WERE ARRESTED. WE HAVE VIDEO FROM THAT SCENE. WHAT’S INTERESTING ABOUT THIS INCIDENT COMPARED TO MANY OTHER SCENES WE’VE SEEN ACROSS THE COUNTRY ON COLLEGE CAMPUSES, IS THAT HOURS BEFORE THIS WAS BEFORE WASHINGTON MAYOR MURIEL BOWSER AND HER POLICE CHIEF WERE TO TESTIFY IN FRONT OF A CONGRESSIONAL COMMITTEE INVESTIGATING. THE RESPONSE TO THIS ENCAMPMENT UP UNTIL THIS TIME, WHEN HOUSE OVERSIGHT CHAIR JAMES COLMER, A REPUBLICAN FROM KENTUCKY, HEARD ABOUT THIS POLICE ACTION AND THEY FINALLY CLEARED IT OUT. HE ANNOUNCED THAT THE HEARING WAS CANCELED AND TOOK CREDIT FOR THE ACTION. HERE IN NEW YORK CITY LAST NIGHT, OFFICERS FROM THE NYPD AND HELMETS IN RIOT GEAR CARRYING ZIP TIES GAVE THE ORDER TO CLEAR OUT, WAITED ABOUT MINUTES. THEN THEY WENT IN, MOVED DOZENS OF PEOPLE OUT, MADE DOZENS OF ARRESTS. HAD THAT CAMPUS CLEARED OUT IN ABOUT 30 MINUTES OR SO CAROL. >> ALL RIGHT. NOW, AT THIS CONFERENCE YOU AND I WERE TALKING ABOUT THIS MORNING, YOU KNOW, D.C. POLICE ,THAT SOME OF THOSE WITH WHOM WERE ARRESTED AT, G.W., HAD ACTUALLY PREVIOUSLY BEEN PROTESTERS AT COLUMBIA. CAN YOU TELL US ANY MORE ABOUT THAT? >> WELL, WE KNOW THAT THEY OBVIOUSLY WENT FROM COLUMBIA TO D.C. PROTEST. AND IT’S NOT SURPRISING FOR ME TO HEAR THAT OR ANYBODY ELSE WHO PROBABLY COVERED THE THE COLUMBIA EVENT, BECAUSE MANY OF THE PROTESTERS TOLD US THAT, YOU KNOW, THEY CAN CLEAR US OUT OF HERE, BUT WE ARE GOING TO CONTINUE TO PROTEST UNTIL THERE IS A CEASE FIRE. THAT WAS ONE OF THE DEMANDS THEY PUT ON THE SCHOOL. IT WAS THEIR PRIMARY DEMAND OUTSIDE OF DIVESTING AND CUTTING TIES WITH ISRAEL. BUT, YEAH, THEY SHOWED UP. AND THERE’S BEEN THIS SENSE OF SUPPORT FROM ONE CAMPUS TO ANOTHER. COLUMBIA’S REALLY, WHERE THE MATCH WAS LIT. AND THEN AND THEN OTHER CAMPUSES SAID THEY PROTESTING NOT ONLY FOR WHAT WAS HAPPENING IN GAZA, ALSO FOR THE PROTESTERS, THE ORIGINAL PROTESTERS AT COLUMBIA WHO WERE ARRESTED. >> OKAY. WE’RE ALSO HEARING FROM THIS REPORTER AT ABC AFFILIATE IN REDDING, CALIFORNIA, ABOUT HOW WAS ACTUALLY DETAINED WHILE COVERING THIS PROTEST AT CAL POLY HUMBOLDT. WHAT IS SHE SAYING ABOUT HER WHOLE ORDEAL? >> WELL, THIS ISN’T AN UNCOMMON EVENT. IT IS FOR HER BECAUSE. SHE IS A YOUNG REPORTER AND SHE WAS TRYING TO COVER THIS THIS EVENT TO HER NAME IS ADELE RUIZ. AND SHE IS A YOUNG REPORTER OUT THERE. SHE WAS COVERING THE POLICE, GETTING READY TO CLEAR OUT THE ENCAMPMENT. I BELIEVE THIS IS HER VIDEO AS SHE WAS FILMING ON HER PHONE CAMERA. AND SHE GOT WHAT POLICE FELT WAS A LITTLE TOO CLOSE FOR THEM. YOU SEE THEM IN THE SHIELDS AND THE HELMETS THEY LINE UP THERE. THAT IS HER PHONE VIDEO. EVENTUALLY, ONE OF THE OFFICERS CALLS HER OVER AND SAYS, HEY CAN YOU COME HERE FOR A MINUTE? SHE COMPLIES, GETS BEHIND THE POLICE LINE, AND THEY THEY ZIP TIRE AND ARREST HER. AND WHILE THEY ARRESTED HER, SHE WAS GIVING AN INTERVIEW. AND THIS IS A QUOTE FROM HER. SHE SAYS, I’M A NEWS REPORTER COVERING THE STORY. I’M JUST DOING MY JOB. >> THAT’S WHEN THE OFFICER WHO WAS ZIP TYING ME TOLD ME I NEEDED TO FIND A DIFFERENT JOB IF IT ME BREAK THE LAW. SO THEY SAY SHE WAS BREAKING THE LAW. >> THEY DID CHARGE HER WITH TRESPASSING AND A COUPLE OF OTHER THINGS. YOU KNOW, SHE’S OUTRAGED. I WAS THERE COVERING THIS. BUT, KARA, YOU’VE BEEN ALL OVER THE WORLD COVERING NEWS. I HAVE TO. YOU WERE EMBEDDED WITH TROOPS IN IRAQ, COVERED THE MIDDLE EAST. WE GO TO DANGEROUS PLACES. YOU SEE HER HERE. THEY HER ASIDE. THEY WERE ASKING HER NICELY TO COME INSIDE. SHE DIDN’T THINK SHE WAS GOING TO GET ARRESTED. THEY JUST SHE THOUGHT SHE WAS GOING TO BE BEHIND THEM. BUT THEN THEY ZIP TIED AND ARRESTED HER. BUT WHEN YOU GET THAT CLOSE TO THIS KIND OF ACTION, THERE’S ALWAYS YOU KNOW, THERE’S ALWAYS THAT CHANCE THAT YOU CAN GET CAUGHT UP IN IT. >> THAT’S RIGHT. YOU’VE GOT TO BE PREPARED FOR IT. PHIL, APPRECIATE IT SO MUCH. THANK YOU. SO FROM PROTESTS TO GRADUATION . NOW WE ARE TALKING ABOUT THE END OF STUDENTS COLLEGE CAREERS. AND FOR THOUSANDS OF GRADUATES, IT ALSO MEANS NO COMMENCEMENT SCALED DOWN CEREMONIES. EVEN SPEAKERS ARE BACKING OUT. USC ACTUALLY CANCELED ITS MAIN GRADUATION CEREMONY, BUT SOME SENIORS ARE STILL HOLDING ON TO SMALLER ONES LIKE THIS. KELLEHER, A MASTER’S STUDENT AT USC ANNENBERG SCHOOL OF COMMUNICATION AND JOURNALISM AND WHO IS GRADUATING THIS MONTH? CONGRATULATIONS, BOY. WHAT A WAY TO WRAP UP YOUR MASTER’S PROGRAM. HOW DOES IT FEEL? >> END YOUR TIME AT USC LIKE THIS? IT’S NOT AT ALL WHAT I EXPECTED FOR THE END OF MY. IT’S BEEN A VERY INTERESTING TIME TO A STUDENT AND AN INTERESTING TIME TO BE A STUDENT JOURNALIST. THINGS HAVE BEEN TENSE ON CAMPUS. THERE’S BEEN A LOT OF HEIGHTENED SECURITY. AND SEEING, YOU KNOW, A CAMPUS THAT I LOVE, MY DREAM SCHOOL, SEEING IT BECOME MILITARIZED, SEEING, YOU KNOW, TSA STYLE CHECKPOINTS TO GET INTO SCHOOL AND ALL THE DISRUPTION THAT THAT HAS CAUSED HAS CERTAINLY NOT BEEN WHAT I EXPECTED FOR MY GRADUATION WEEK . >> SO A LOT OF THIS UNREST BEGAN WHEN USC STOPPED, ASKED TO BOSTON, THE MUSLIM AMERICAN VALEDICTORIAN SELECTED BY THE COLLEGE FROM GIVING THE COMMENCEMENT SPEECH BECAUSE OF HER ONLINE SUPPORT FOR PALESTINIANS, THE SCHOOL HAS LONG TOUTED ITS SUPPORT OF DIVERSITY ON CAMPUS AND BACKING FREE. >> DO YOU THINK THAT THEY FAILED STUDENTS HERE? >> ABSOLUTELY. STUDENTS ARE VERY DISAPPOINTED IN ADMINISTRATION’S HANDLING OF ALL THE PROTESTS. BUT OF COURSE, YOU KNOW, MOST SPECIFICALLY THAT CANCELLATION OF THE VALEDICTORIAN ADMINISTRATION CITED, YOU KNOW, THREATS OF VIOLENCE, WERE UNABLE TO SAY WHO THOSE THREATS WERE TOWARDS WHERE THEY FROM. AND FOR MANY STUDENTS, INCLUDING MYSELF, IT SEEMS ADMINISTRATION HAS CHOSEN TO SILENCE ISNA RATHER THAN PROTECT HER. AND THAT FEELS LIKE A DIRECT ATTACK ON HER FREEDOM OF SPEECH. AND AS A RESULT, AS A STUDENT BODY, WE’RE QUESTIONING OUR RIGHTS FOR FREEDOM OF SPEECH. AND WE’VE THAT ECHOED IN THE RESPONSE TO THE PROTESTS ON CAMPUS THE LAST FEW WEEKS. >> SO WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT HOW THE ADMINISTRATION AND JUST HANDLED ALL OF THIS, THE PROTESTS AND THEN CANCELING THE MAIN COMMENCEMENT CEREMONY WAS THE RIGHT CALL. >> IT’S BEEN EXCESSIVE. AND I’VE BEEN COVERING THE PROTESTS CAMPUS SINCE LAST SEMESTER. I’VE SEEN, YOU KNOW RALLIES, MARCHES, DIANNE’S WALKOUTS. AND THERE WAS NOT THIS LEVEL OF CENSORSHIP IN THE PAST. BUT AFTER THAT CANCELLATION, THE TENOR ON CAMPUS REALLY HAS SHIFTED. AND I THINK THAT THERE WAS A LOT OF ALTERNATIVE OPTIONS THAT WEREN’T EXPLORED. AND THAT INCLUDES, YOU KNOW, REALLY MAKING GOOD-HEARTED EFFORT TO COMMUNICATE WITH THOSE PROTESTERS. AND I THINK WHAT’S KIND OF BEEN MISCONSTRUED IS IF YOU WEREN’T AT THE CENTER CAMPUS, IF YOU WEREN’T WHERE THAT ENCAMPMENT WAS, THE ONLY REAL SIGN OF ANYTHING. A MESS ON CAMPUS HAS BEEN THAT HEIGHTENED SECURITY. YOU KNOW, PRESIDENT FOLT HAS CITED DISRUPTION TO CAMPUS ACTIVITIES DISRUPTION TO FINALS AS ONE OF THE MAIN REASON SHE’S HAD TO CRACK DOWN ON THE ENCAMPMENT. >> BUT THE BIGGEST DISRUPTION THAT I EXPERIENCED WAS THE NEAR-CONSTANT LOW FLYING HELICOPTERS THAT WERE SO LOUD I COULDN’T FOCUS DURING CLASS. IT WAS THE LONG LINES TO GET INTO CAMPUS BECAUSE THERE’S CHECKS AND METAL DETECTORS AND BAG CHECKS THAT MADE ME LATE FOR FINAL. AND IT WAS THE MOBILIZING OF LAPD CAMPUS ON APRIL 24TH, IN THE MIDDLE OF THE DAY, IN THE MIDDLE OF CLASSES. >> SO THAT WAS THE REAL DISRUPTION THAT I’VE EXPERIENCED. WELL, I’LL TELL YOU ONE THING. IN ORDER TO BECOME A REALLY GREAT JOURNALIST, ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU’RE STARTING OUT, IT’S THE HANDS ON EXPERIENCE. AND YOU HAD A NATIONAL GLOBAL RIGHT THERE HAPPENING ON YOUR CAMPUS. >> IT’S GOOD EXPERIENCE FOR YOU AS YOU MOVE ON INTO YOUR CAREER. I’M SURE SOMETHING YOU’LL NEVER FORGET. LEAVE. APPRECIATE YOUR TIME. >> GOOD LUCK. THANK YOU SO MUCH. COMING UP. >> THIS ONE’S A HEAD SCRATCHER. JUST WHEN YOU THOUGHT THIS ELECTION COULDN’T GET ANY CRAZIER. WELL, TODAY WE FOUND OUT THAT RFK WAS TREATED YEARS AGO FOR BRAIN WORMS. THIS IS THE WRONG VIDEO. APOLOGIZE FOR THAT. WE’LL FIX THAT AFTER THE BREAK . >> WATCHING AMERICA’S NUMBER ONE STREAMING NEWS MY REPORTING BREAKING NEW EXCLUSIVES KEEPS STREAMING WITH ABC NEWS LIVES. >> EVERY KID IN AMERICA WHO WAS A DANCER WANTED TO BE ON DANCE MOMS AND ABBY KNEW IT. I DON’T CARE IF THEY LIKE ME OR NOT. THEY’RE FABULOUS WHEN IT COMES DOWN THE WAY SHE TREATED US. IT WAS TOUGH LOVE. YOU HAVE TROUBLE SAYING HER NAME? >> YEAH. I FEEL LIKE I HAVE TROUBLE JUST TALKING ABOUT IT IN GENERAL. WE WENT THROUGH SOME DRAMA TOGETHER AND WE SURVIVED IT. PEOPLE LOVE DRAMA AND THEY LOVE TO SEE CONFLICT. AND ABBY WAS GREAT THAT. >> DO YOU THINK THAT YOU WOULD TAKE BACK SOME OF THE HARSHNESS ? >> YOU LOOK BACK AT DANCE MOMS BEHIND THE CURTAIN. THIS IS "IMPACT X NIGHTLINE". I’M NOT THE BAD GUY. I WAS THE GUY THAT MADE IT HAPPEN. >> NOW STREAMING ON HULU. EVERY FRIDAY, HOTTEST TREND STYLES AND MUST HAVE A TIME GOODBYE THE RIGHT STUFF AND SAVE BIG TIME. DO THE RIGHT STUFF FRIDAYS ON "GMA". YOU’RE GOING TO LOVE IT. FIRST THING IN THE MORNING. >> THERE’S A LOT GOING ON. WE’RE STILL IN A FLASH FLOOD TO CATCH YOU UP WITH WHAT HAPPENED OVERNIGHT IN RIOT GEAR, ARRESTING OF PROTESTERS. WHAT’S HAPPENING TODAY? ESCALATING TENSIONS IN THE EAST . WHAT PEOPLE ARE TALKING ABOUT THE MIGRANT CRISIS. STRAIGHT FORWARD WITH SOME FUN IN BETWEEN. CHECK OUT THE GATOR ON THE 17TH HOLE, THE BUZZ KILL AND FACE FIRST THING IN THE MORNING. AMERICA THIS MORNING, AMERICA’S NUMBER ONE EARLY MORNING NEWS ON ABC NEWS. >> WHAT? GLAD YOU’RE SWIMMING WITH US. NOW TO PERHAPS THE MOST BIZARRE STORY OF THE DAY. INDEPENDENT PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE ROBERT F. KENNEDY REVEALING THAT A WORM ATE PART OF HIS BRAIN. YEAH, THAT’S ACCORDING TO AN ARTICLE THAT WAS PUBLISHED IN THE NEW YORK TODAY. WE’RE ALL TALKING ABOUT IT. WHAT CAN I TELL YOU? OUR SENIOR CONGRESSIONAL CORRESPONDENT, RACHEL SCOTT. YOU KNOW, SHE’S COVERED A LOT OF STORIES, TOO. THIS DEFINITELY GETS TO BE ONE OF THOSE WHERE YOU ARE GOING, OKAY, WHAT THE HECK IS GOING ON HERE? AND IS KENNEDY’S CAMP SAYING ANYTHING ABOUT THIS? >> YEAH, KYRA, IT’S ONE OF THOSE STORIES THAT YOU SEE THE HEADLINE AND YOU READ IT JUST ONCE, NOT JUST TWICE, BUT MAYBE THREE OR FOUR TIMES BEFORE PROCEEDING DOWN TO THE ARTICLE. >> SO, LOOK, THE CAMPAIGN IS NOT DISPUTING THIS REPORTING. AND THE "NEW YORK TIMES" HERE, IT SAYS THIS IS ALL FROM A 2012 DEPOSITION THAT RFK JUNIOR GAVE HIS DIVORCE PROCEEDINGS IN WHICH HE WAS TRYING TO EXPLAIN HE MAY HAVE HAD SHORT TERM OR LONGER TERM MEMORY LOSS. AND THEN HE SAYS THAT A DOCTOR TOLD HIM THAT A WORM GOT INTO HIS BRAIN, ATE A PORTION IT, AND THEN THAT WORM DIED. NOW, HIS CAMPAIGN TELLS US TODAY THAT MR. KENNEDY TRAVELED EXTENSIVELY IN AFRICA SOUTH AMERICA, ASIA AND WORKED AS AN ENVIRONMENTAL ADVOCATE. AND IN ONE OF THOSE LOCATIONS THAT HE CONTRACTED A PARASITE. THEY GO ON TO TELL US THAT THE ISSUE WAS RESOLVED MORE THAN TEN YEARS AGO AND THAT HE IS NOW IN ROBUST PHYSICAL MENTAL HEALTH. BUT AGAIN, KYRA, THE HEADLINE OF HERE IS THAT MR. KENNEDY SAYS THAT A DOCTOR TOLD HIM A WORM, IN FACT, GOT INTO HIS BRAIN, ATE A PORTION OF IT ,AND THEN DIED. >> YEAH, IT’S INTERESTING. JUST LOOKING TO WHAT WHAT IS IN THE ARTICLE AS YOU READ A LITTLE DEEPER, IT SAYS ABOUT THE SAME TIME THAT HE LEARNED OF THE PARASITE. HE SAID HE WAS ALSO DIAGNOSED WITH THE MERCURY POISONING MOST LIKELY FROM INGESTING TOO MUCH FISH CONTAINING THE DANGEROUS HEAVY METAL, WHICH CAN CAUSE SERIOUS NEUROLOGICAL ISSUES. >> AND IN THIS DEPOSITION, HE WENT ON TO SAY, I DO HAVE COGNITIVE PROBLEMS. I HAVE SHORT TERM MEMORY LOSS. LIKE YOU MENTIONED, I HAVE LONGER TERM MEMORY LOSS THAT AFFECTS ME. BUT HE DID GO ON TO TELL VOTERS THAT MIGHT BE QUESTIONING HIS HEALTH. >> WHAT? YEAH, HIS CAMPAIGN QUESTIONING MR. KENNEDY’S HEALTH IS HILARIOUS. IT’S A HILARIOUS SUGGESTION, THEY SAY, GIVEN HIS COMPETITION. >> AND WE KNOW THAT RFK JR HAS REALLY TRIED TO MARKET HIMSELF OUT THERE AS THE HEALTHIER ALTERNATIVE. THE YOUNGER ALTERNATIVE THAN MR. TRUMP. AND MR. BIDEN, OF COURSE, NOT THAT MUCH YOUNGER. HE’S 70 YEARS OLD IN COMPARISON TO PRESIDENT BIDEN, WHO IS 81. DONALD TRUMP IS 77, BUT HE OFTEN POST PICTURES OF HIMSELF WORKING OUT IN THE GYM OR POST PICTURES OR VIDEOS OUT THERE. SNOWBOARDING ARE REALLY TRYING TO SEND THAT MESSAGE TO VOTERS THAT. HE IS THE HEALTHIER, YOUNGER ALTERNATIVE. OF COURSE, THIS IS NOW A LOT OF QUESTIONS ABOUT WHETHER OR NOT THERE WERE ANY LASTING IMPACT. OBVIOUSLY, HIS CAMPAIGN SAYS THAT THEY ARE NOT. BUT THE "NEW YORK TIMES" DOES NOTE THAT THEY DID NOT TURN OVER THE CAMPAIGN, DID NOT TURN OVER ANY OF HIS MEDICAL. AND, OF COURSE, MR. TRUMP AND MR. BIDEN HAVE NOT EITHER. ALL RIGHT. SO, RACHEL, WHERE DOES THE NEWEST POLLING PUT RIGHT NOW? YEAH, AND WE JUST GOT A NEW POLL OUT ACTUALLY FROM QUINNIPIAC UNIVERSITY OF WISCONSIN. IT’S OUT FROM THE STATE TODAY. IT SHOWS BIDEN AT 40%, TRUMP AT 39%. AND RFK JR AT 12% THERE IN THAT STATE. AND OF COURSE, WHY THIS ALL MATTERS. WISCONSIN, A CRITICAL BATTLEGROUND STATE. WE KNOW THAT PRESIDENT BIDEN, THAT STATE BY LESS THAN ONE PERCENTAGE POINT, JUST ABOUT 20,000 VOTES BACK IN 2020. >> SO THERE’S CONCERN BOTH THE BIDEN AND THE TRUMP CAMP HERE, WHETHER OR NOT SOMEONE LIKE RFK JR, IF HE DOES GET ON THE BALLOT, CAN PEEL AWAY SOME OF THAT SUPPORT AND REALLY THE DIFFERENCE. >> RACHEL SCOTT THAT WAS DEFINITELY AN INTERESTING CONVERSATION. REALLY? WAS IT REALLY BY. THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT. COMING UP, REBUILDING MAUI, THE HOUSING CRISIS IN HAWAII. NEARLY A YEAR AFTER THOSE DEVASTATING WILDFIRES. WE’LL TAKE YOU THERE. >> THIS IS NOT ABOUT PARENTS WHO JUST LET THEIR KID WATCH VIOLENT MOVIES, PLAYED VIOLENT VIDEO GAMES. THIS IS ABOUT PARENTS NEGLECTED THEIR SON, IGNORED HIS CRIES FOR HELP. THEN BOUGHT HIM A GUN. THE FIRST PARENTS IN AMERICA TO BE CHARGED IN A SCHOOL SHOOTING. THEY PURCHASED THAT GUN AND GRABBED IT. YOU DON’T GET TO WALK AWAY FROM THAT. THAT’S A CRIME. >> SINS OF THE PARENTS. THE CRUMBLING TRIALS. THE OPPOSITE OF LOVE IS NOT HATE. IT’S JUST BEING IGNORED. ONLY ON HULU. >> WHY DO SO MANY PEOPLE START THEIR DAY HERE? FROM ABC NEWS? THIS IS "START HERE". TO BE IN THE KNOW AND GET A DIFFERENT TAKE ON THE DAY’S TOP STORIES. A LOT OF NEWS TODAY SO LET’S INTO IT. LISTEN NOW TO THE DAILY NEWS PODCAST HONORED WITH FOUR EDWARD OUR MURROW AWARDS AND SEE WHY THE NEW YORK TIMES CALLS IT A NEWS PODCAST WORTH LISTENING TO. START HERE. ABC NEWS MAKE IT YOUR DAILY FIRST LISTEN. NOW, THAT’S THE PART OF THE STORY THAT YOU DIDN’T SEE COMING. >> WHEREVER YOU GET YOUR PODCAST, START HERE. >> SO IT’S BEEN NINE MONTHS SINCE THE DEVASTATING WILDFIRES IN MAUI, AND THE CITY IS NOW FACING A MAJOR HOUSING CRISIS. THE COMMUNITY IS TRYING TO REBUILD, BUT CONSTRUCTION PERMITS ARE STILL STUCK IN LIMBO, LEAVING A LOT OF FAMILIES WITHOUT A HOME. OUR MIREYA VILLARREAL HAS BEEN FOLLOWING THE STORY AND JOINS ME NOW FROM WEST MAUI. MARIA, TALK ABOUT WHAT’S GOING ON AND JUST WHY THIS IS TAKING SO LONG. HEY, LISTEN, KYRA, IT IS A NATURAL DISASTER THAT CLEARLY IMPACTED THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE. AND WHILE WE HAVE SEEN A LOT OF THE DEBRIS CLEARED IN, THE MOST AFFECTED AREA, NOT ALL OF IT IS GONE. SO THE FRUSTRATION IS FOR THOSE PEOPLE WHO ARE LOOKING TO REBUILD, THEY’RE STILL HAVING TO CONSTRUCTION PERMITS ARE BASICALLY ON HOLD FOR NOW, WHICH MEANS THERE IS NO PERMANENT HOUSING SOLUTION. AND FOR A LOT OF FAMILIES, WE’RE TALKING ABOUT THE BASIC NEED FOR SHELTER. RIGHT. THAT IS NOW CREATING A MENTAL HEALTH AND ANXIETY SITUATION FOR A LOT OF THE FAMILIES HERE. WE ALSO THAT IN THE FIRE, LAHAINA HAD ALMOST ALL ITS MEDICAL FACILITIES BURNED EXCEPT FOR ONE THAT IS RUN BY THE. SO THERE ARE A LOT OF COMMUNITY BASED ORGANIZATIONS THAT ARE HAVING TO STEP IN LIKE MAUI BEHAVIORAL HEALTH RESOURCES. THEIR CEO, AN ISLAND NATIVE, NICOLE KAWANA, SAYS THEY ALREADY DEALING WITH A RISE IN MENTAL HEALTH ISSUES AND CONCERNS. AND NOW THE FIRE HAS EXACERBATED ALL OF THAT. >> IT’S REALLY HARD TO BE WELL ON MAUI RIGHT NOW. HOW IMPORTANT IS IT TO REALLY TAKE A LOOK AT THE COMMUNITY, THEIR NEEDS, AND BE OPEN TO A LOT OF DIFFERENT TYPES OF, QUOTE UNQUOTE? WE ARE NOT WE DON’T ALL HEAL IN THE SAME WAY. IT’S REALLY IMPORTANT TO BE OPEN MINDED AND TO BE PERSON CENTERED, COMMUNITY CENTERED. SO, CAROL, WE’VE SEEN EVERYTHING FROM ACTUAL LIKE TRADITIONAL THERAPY TO EQUINE, WHICH IS HORSE THERAPY TO WATERCOLOR PAINTING AS WELL. SO A LOT OF THAT WE WILL BE DISCUSSING LATER ON IN OUR STORY FOR ABC LIVE PRIME TONIGHT. WELL, AS YOU JUST MENTIONED, THERE IS A CLEAR NEED FOR MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES. TELL ME MORE ABOUT WHAT’S BEING DONE JUST TO PROVIDE SUPPORT FOR THOSE THAT THAT REALLY CONTINUE TO NEED IT ON A DAILY BASIS. >> YOU KNOW BEEN ABLE TO SEE THAT THERE’S ABOUT A $17 MILLION THAT WAS ALLOCATED TO THIS PARTICULAR AREA SPECIFICALLY FOR MENTAL HEALTH. BUT A REALLY INTERESTING POINT THAT WE WERE ABLE TO SEE AS WE VISITED WITH A LOT OF THESE ORGANIZATIONS AS THEY THAT LAHAINA AND MOST OF THE AFFECTED PEOPLE, THEY ARE A VERY TIGHT KNIT, CLOSED COMMUNITY. SO FOR THEM, THE IDEA OF JUST ALLOWING ANYONE TO COME IN AND OFFER THEM MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES, THAT’S NOT GOING TO HAPPEN. SO A LOT OF THESE ORGANIZATIONS HAVE RECRUITED PEOPLE FROM THE AREA THAT WAS AFFECTED TO COME OUT AND OUTREACH FOR THEM SO THAT OUTREACH CAN LOOK LIKE PUTTING TOGETHER SOME SORT OF THERAPY COUNSELING SESSION WITH JUST WOMEN WHERE THEY IT MIGHT BE FOR THE DAY, JUST MAKING SURE THAT THEY HAVE ENOUGH EAT OR DRINK. IT MIGHT BE MAKING SURE THAT THEY GO TO A LUAU AND ACTUALLY COME TOGETHER AND COMMISERATE IN WHAT THEY ARE ALL WITH. SO EVERY DAY IT IS A HEALING PROCESS, AND EVERY DAY YOU’RE LOOKING AT A NEW TYPE OF TREATMENT FOR A LOT OF THE PEOPLE THAT WERE AFFECTED. SO DEFINITELY STILL A TRANSITION MOMENT FOR MAUI, BUT HOPEFULLY THERE IS MOVEMENT IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION. MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES. OLAKUNLE I TO REMEMBER THAT AND KEEP SAYING THAT WHOLE ARRAY AREA. >> THERE YOU GO. I DO. I DO, TOO. I. MARIA, THANK YOU. AND THANKS TO ALL OF YOU FOR STREAMING WITH US. I’M KYRA PHILLIPS.

GOVERNOR GRETCHEN WHITMER DECLARING A STATE OF EMERGENCY. THAT SITUATION SO BAD. THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ALSO ITS FIRST EVER TORNADO EMERGENCY. AT LEAST TWO TWISTERS TOUCHING DOWN IN THE CITY OF PORTAGE. A FEDEX FACILITY IN THE AREA SUFFERING MAJOR DAMAGE. AT LEAST 50 PEOPLE WERE INSIDE THAT BUILDING WHEN THE STORM HIT. >> AND THEN STRONG STORMS ALSO RIPPED THROUGH ARKANSAS, DAMAGING WINDS, DOWNING TREES, KNOCKING OUT POWER, LEAVING A OFF THIS HOUR. EXTREME WEATHER TEAM IN THE STORM ZONE RIGHT NOW AND TRACKING THE FORECAST. MOLA LENGHI IS ACTUALLY IN LITTLE ROCK, ARKANSAS. MOLA A POSSIBLE TORNADO TOUCHING DOWN ROUGHLY AN HOUR FROM WHERE YOU ARE. >> YEAH, THAT’S RIGHT KYRA. >> SOME PRETTY HEAVY STORMS HERE OVER THE LAST 24 HOURS ACROSS THE STATE, RESULTING IN, LIKE YOU MENTIONED, AT LEAST POSSIBLE TORNADO IN HOT SPRINGS, ARKANSAS. THAT’S ABOUT AN HOUR FROM WHERE WE ARE HERE IN LITTLE ROCK. OFFICIALS SAYING THAT, YOU KNOW, SOME PRETTY POTENTIALLY EXTENSIVE THERE SURVEYING THE DAMAGE RIGHT NOW, POSSIBLY SOME DAMAGE TO STRUCTURES, POSSIBLY SOME DOWNED THAT TREES, DOWNED POWER LINES, SEVERAL ROADS IMPASSABLE. SO THEY’RE STILL SURVEYING THE DAMAGE THERE RIGHT NOW AS CREWS ARE CLEANING IT UP. >> ALL RIGHT. WELL, LET’S TALK ABOUT THIS TORNADO OUTBREAK. MOLA, MICHIGAN. WHAT MORE CAN YOU TELL US? YEAH, MICHIGAN, AGAIN, SUFFERED SOME SOME PRETTY EXTENSIVE DAMAGE HERE OVER THE LAST 24 HOURS. AND KEEP IN MIND, THAT IS A STATE, OF COURSE, NOT USED TO DEALING WITH TORNADOES. PRETTY RARE FOR TO SHOW UP THERE, OFFICIALS SAY. THE TOWN OF PORTAGE, MICHIGAN, NEAR KALAMAZOO SUFFERED, QUOTE, EXTENSIVE DAMAGE TO BOTH RESIDENTIAL AND COMMERCIAL PROPERTIES AFTER TWO TORNADOES RIPPED THE AREA. A MOBILE HOME COMMUNITY ALSO HIT THOSE PICKING UP THE PIECES TODAY. AND THIS AFTERNOON, THE GOVERNOR OF MICHIGAN TALKING ABOUT WHAT FOLKS IN HER STATE ARE GOING THROUGH RIGHT NOW. >> WE FEEL REALLY LUCKY THAT PEOPLE KNOW PEOPLE WERE LOST THEIR LIVES. WE KNOW ABOUT LOT OF PEOPLE LOST EVERYTHING. KYRA, HE ALSO MENTIONED THAT FEDEX FACILITY, MICHIGAN, THAT WAS HIT, REALLY TORN APART WITH ABOUT 50 PEOPLE, AT LEAST 50 PEOPLE INSIDE AT TIME. THE GOOD NEWS THERE IS THAT A REP FOR FEDEX CONFIRM THAT NONE OF THOSE FOLKS WHO WERE INSIDE AT THE TIME WERE INJURED KYRA. >> ALL RIGHT. WELL, THANKS SO MUCH. LET’S TAKE IT NOW TO. OUR METEOROLOGIST, MELISSA GRIFFIN. 57 MILLION PEOPLE IN A TORNADO STORM ZONE NOW. WHAT ARE TRACKING? >> WELL, CARE, IF YOU CAN BELIEVE IT. THIS IS THE FOURTH MULTI DAY TORNADO OUTBREAK IN AS MANY WEEKS. IN FOUR WEEKS. AND WE STILL HAVE THESE TORNADO WARNINGS THAT CONTINUE TO POP UP ACROSS THIS WATCH BOX THAT NOW EXTENDS BACK INTO WESTERN MISSOURI, EVEN INTO FAR EASTERN KANSAS. THIS ISN’T A FACTOR, 7:00 TONIGHT. LOOK AT THIS WARNING HERE. YOU SEE THAT VIOLENT STORM KIND OF CIRCULATING RIGHT FROM MOVING INTO SOUTHERN ILLINOIS JUST TO THE NORTHWEST OF CARBONDALE. WE’LL BE WATCHING THESE STORMS CLOSELY THROUGH THE EVENING BECAUSE THEY’RE JUST GOING PICK UP MORE AND MORE. AND LOOK AT THIS, FLOOD WATCHES IN EFFECT, NOT IS THE SEVERE WEATHER THREAT, BUT FLASH FLOODING IS ALSO A THREAT WITH VERY HEAVY DOWNPOURS THAT ARE GOING TO COME WITH THESE STORMS. SEVERE THUNDERSTORM STRETCHING ALL THE WAY EAST EVEN INTO THE CAROLINAS THERE. SO WE’RE WATCHING A WIDE AREA FOR SEVERE WEATHER. HERE’S THE TIMING. YOU SEE THESE STORMS EXPLODING RIGHT INTO THE OVERNIGHT HOURS YET AGAIN, THOSE OVERNIGHT TORNADO THREATS, THE MOST DANGEROUS ONES YOU CAN HAVE AND AT THIS RED AREA. THIS IS THE SECOND HIGHEST LEVEL FOR SEVERE STORMS, JUST TORNADOES, GIANT HAIL, WHICH CAN ALSO CAUSE SOME PRETTY SIGNIFICANT DAMAGE, AS WELL AS THOSE WINDS GUSTING TO 80 MILES PER HOUR. ANY ONE FROM DALLAS UP THROUGH ST. LOUIS, NASHVILLE, YOU’RE IN RED ZONE ALL THE WAY TO THE EAST COAST. LIKE I SAID, RALEIGH TO COLUMBIA SOUTH CAROLINA, ALL IN THAT SEVERE WEATHER THREAT THROUGH TONIGHT. AND KYRA PICKS RIGHT BACK UP AGAIN TOMORROW FROM TEXAS ALL THE WAY, THE GULF COAST, EVEN AS FAR NORTH AS D.C. WE’LL SEE MORE SEVERE WEATHER THURSDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING KYRA. MELISSA, THANKS SO MUCH AND TO YOU, TOO. MOLA WILL STAY IN TOUCH. WELL, TEARING DOWN ENCAMPMENTS AND PUTTING PROTESTERS UNDER ARREST. NEW CLASHES TODAY BETWEEN POLICE AND ON COLLEGE CAMPUSES HERE IN D.C. POLICE PEPPER SPRAYING, BREAKING UP AN ENCAMPMENT THERE AT GEORGE WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY. LEAST 30 PEOPLE, 33 PEOPLE ARRESTED THAT A NEW YORK CITY WERE BREAKING UP AN ENCAMPMENT AT THE FASHION INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY. 50 PEOPLE THERE WERE ARRESTED. OUR PHIL LIPOFF HAS BEEN ALL THE LATEST DEVELOPMENTS. LET’S GO AHEAD AND START WITH THE SITUATION AT GW. PROTESTERS HAD BEEN CAMPED OUT THERE FOR TWO WEEKS. WHAT MADE POLICE FINALLY MOVE IN? >> WELL, MORNING AFTER MORNING AFTER MORNING AND RIGHT OFF THE BAT, CAROL, WE SHOULD MENTION THAT THE PROTESTERS AT GW AND OTHER PLACES STILL AT THIS HOUR KNOW WHAT’S GOING TO HAPPEN. >> EVENTUALLY, THE POLICE ARE GOING TO MOVE IN. AND IN D.C., THEY DID TO CLEAR OUT THAT ENCAMPMENT. IT HAD BEEN THERE, AS I MENTIONED, FOR MORE THAN A WEEK. THERE WAS A SKIRMISH, AS YOU SEE. >> YOU MENTIONED 33 PEOPLE WERE ARRESTED. I WILL. WHAT’S INTERESTING ABOUT THIS PARTICULAR INCIDENT IS THAT IT HAPPENED JUST HOURS BEFORE WASHINGTON MAYOR MURIEL BROWSER BOWSER AND HER POLICE CHIEF WERE SCHEDULED TO TESTIFY IN FRONT OF A CONGRESSIONAL COMMITTEE INVESTIGATING THE RESPONSE TO THAT ENCAMPMENT. OVER THE PAST WEEK OR SO. I MEAN, THIS HAPPENED IN THE EARLY MORNING HOURS AND THAT COMMITTEE WAS SCHEDULED TO HAVE A HEARING TODAY WHEN OVERSIGHT CHAIR JAMES COLMER, A REPUBLICAN FROM KENTUCKY, HEARD ABOUT THE POLICE ACTION IN CLEARING OF THE ENCAMPMENT. HE ANNOUNCED THAT THE HEARING WAS CANCELED. WE DON’T HAVE IT ANYMORE. AND HE TOOK CREDIT FOR THE ACTION. IT’S INTERESTING FILLED JUST COMING ACROSS THE WIRE HERE THAT DURING A PRESS CONFERENCE D.C. POLICE THEY WERE EXPLAINING THAT THEY SHUT DOWN GEORGE WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY’S ENCAMPMENT AT 3 A.M., SAYING THAT PROTESTERS FROM UNIVERSITY ACTUALLY SHOWED UP AND INFILTRATED THESE PROTESTS . IT’S INTERESTING TO KIND OF SEE AS THINGS SLOW DOWN THERE IN NEW YORK, THERE ARE STILL THOSE THAT WERE INVOLVED, THESE PROTESTS KIND OF MOVING INTO OTHER AREAS. >> AND IT’S REALLY SURPRISING BECAUSE WHEN WE TALKED TO SOME OF THESE PROTESTERS AT COLUMBIA SPECIFICALLY, THEY SAID WE’RE NOT GOING TO STOP UNTIL THERE IS A CEASE FIRE. SO THAT, YOU KNOW, THEY DIDN’T TELL US THEY WERE GOING TO SHOW UP IN OTHER PLACES. >> BUT IT DOESN’T SURPRISE ME FOR SURE. WELL, YOU’VE GOT CROSS-COUNTRY FOLLOWING ALL THE OTHER ENCAMPMENTS AND PROTESTS. >> DO WE KNOW? WELL, IN TERMS OF OUTSIDE AGITATORS, WE SHOULD TOUCH ON THAT EVERYWHERE WE’VE GONE AND COVERED THIS ACROSS THE COUNTRY. THERE HAVE BEEN THERE’S BEEN THIS TALK ABOUT OUTSIDE AGITATORS. WE’VE SEEN MORE THAN 2500 ARRESTS ACROSS THE COUNTRY. COULD EVEN BE MORE NOW AT MORE THAN 40 CAMPUSES. THE PERCENTAGE OF PEOPLE ARRESTED IS DIFFERENT FROM CAMPUS CAMPUS AT COLUMBIA. THE NYPD SAYS ABOUT 30% OF THOSE THEY ARRESTED WERE NOT AFFILIATED WITH THAT SCHOOL. BUT AT CITY COLLEGE OF NEW YORK. THAT NUMBER WAS WAY HIGHER. 60% OF THE PEOPLE ARRESTED. POLICE TELL US WE’RE AFFILIATED WITH THAT SCHOOL. SO WHO ARE PEOPLE? WHERE ARE THEY COMING FROM? THEY’RE NOT ALWAYS FREELY GIVING THEIR ORGANIZED NATION. BUT WHAT WE DO KNOW IS THAT THERE IS A PORTION OF THESE PROTESTS, THESE PRO-PALESTINIAN PROTESTS, THAT OUTSIDE PEOPLE COMING IN TO TO AND POLICE WILL SAY AGITATE OR JUST THERE AND DO WHATEVER THEY DO. >> AND PHIL, IT’S SUCH A . SOME OF THESE UNIVERSITIES CANCELING COMMENCEMENT SPEECHES NOW. I MEAN, FOR THOSE THAT MAY NOT HAVE EVEN BEEN INVOLVED, THEY DON’T GET A LOT THESE STUDENTS ARE EXCITED TO GET UP ON THAT STAGE, RECEIVE THAT DIPLOMA. >> IT’S WHAT THEY’VE WORKED SO HARD FOR AND NOT JUST EXCITED, BUT YET THEY’VE EARNED IT. RIGHT. THEY THEY’VE DONE THIS FOR YEARS. ONE OF MY CHILDREN, MY MY OLDEST IS CLASS OF 2020. SO WE HAD TO DRIVE BY HER HIGH SCHOOL IN 2020 DURING THE PANDEMIC FOR HER GRADUATION. LUCKILY, SHE’S AT A SCHOOL THAT HER GRADUATION IS NOT THREATENED, BUT SHE HAS FRIENDS WHO ARE AT SCHOOLS. I HAVE A NEPHEW WHO’S AT USC AND THESE KIDS, IT’S THE IS IS A GREAT TECHNICAL TERM THAT YOU CAME UP WITH, KYRA. IT IS A FOR THESE KIDS AND THEY’VE GOTTEN USED TO , OVER THE LAST FOUR YEARS WITH THE PANDEMIC AND NOW THIS. >> IT’S I’M GOING BACK I’M GOING BACK TO MY DAYS IN COLLEGE WHERE THAT WAS THE WORD. >> IT’S A GOOD WORD. IT’S A GOOD WORD. YES, IT IS. IT IS A. YES. AND IT NEVER IT NEVER GETS ALL ENCOMPASSING. WILL APPRECIATE YOU, BILL? >> ALL RIGHT. WELL, HOLDING AMMO, BUT SENDING A STRONG SIGNAL SIGNAL TO ISRAEL, DEFENSE SECRETARY LLOYD AUSTIN NOW CONFIRMING THAT THE U.S. IS ACTUALLY PAUSING THAT WEAPONS SHIPMENT FOR THE COUNTRY, INCLUDING SOME 3500 BOMBS. NOW, THIS IS THE FIRST TIME THAT WE ACTUALLY KNOW OF THAT THE U.S. HAS DENIED ISRAEL ACCESS TO MILITARY AID TO TRY AND INFLUENCE THE WAR. THE CONCERN IS THAT THESE WEAPONS COULD BE USED IN RAFAH, THE TOWN IN ISRAEL’S CROSSHAIRS RIGHT NOW IS MORE THAN A MILLION PALESTINIAN CIVILIANS ARE CURRENTLY SEEKING REFUGE THERE. PRESIDENT BIDEN URGENTLY ISRAEL NOT TO INVADE RAFAH FOR THE LAST FEW WEEKS, BUT SO FAR THOSE WARNINGS HAVE BEEN IGNORED. SENIOR WHITE HOUSE CORRESPONDENT SELINA WANG JOINING ME NOW. SO, SELINA, LET’S TALK ABOUT THE REACTION ON THE HILL TO THE PAUSE OF AMMO. >> IT’S BEEN MIXED. WELL, KYRA, THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION IS FACING A LOT OF CRITICISM, BOTH FROM THE PROGRESSIVE SIDE OF THE PARTY AS WELL AS FROM THESE REPUBLICAN LAWMAKERS WHO ARE SLAMMING DECISION, SAYING THAT IT UNDERMINES AMERICA’S COMMITMENT TO ISRAEL SECURITY. YOU’VE HEARD ESPECIALLY SCATHING WORDS FROM REPUBLICAN SENATOR LINDSEY GRAHAM, WHO SAYS THAT THIS SENDS A VERY DANGEROUS MESSAGE TO ISRAEL’S ENEMIES, INCLUDING IRAN, HEZBOLLAH, OTHER PROXY GROUPS. TAKE A LISTEN. WHAT ELSE HE SAID. >> SO ISRAEL’S BEEN HIT IN THE LAST FEW WEEKS BY IRAN HEZBOLLAH AND HAMAS DEDICATED TO THEIR DESTRUCTION. AND YOU’RE TELLING ME YOU’RE GOING TO TELL THEM HOW TO FIGHT THE WAR AND WHAT THEY CAN AND CAN’T USE WHEN EVERYBODY AROUND AND WANTS TO KILL ALL THE JEWS? AND YOU’RE TELLING ME THAT IF WE WITHHOLD WEAPONS IN THIS FIGHT, THE EXISTENTIAL FIGHT FOR THE LIFE, THE JEWISH STATE, IT WON’T SEND THE WRONG SIGNAL . BUT, KYRA, THERE WAS ALSO SIGNIFICANT PUSHBACK FROM REPUBLICAN FROM DEMOCRATIC SENATORS TO WHAT SENATOR LINSEY GRAHAM SAID, SAYING, QUOTE, THIS IS FROM SENATOR CHRIS MURPHY. HE SAID HISTORY TELLS US THAT THE APPLICATION OF OVERWHELMING MILITARY FORCE CAN, IN FACT, GROW TERRORIST THREATS, NOT SHRINK THEM. SO HE CONTINUES TO SAY IF ISRAEL STRATEGY IS MAKING IT MORE LIKELY, NOT LESS LIKELY, THAT FUTURE TERRORIST ATTACKS WILL OCCUR, THEN IT IS NOT AN EFFECTIVE STRATEGY. AND, KYRA, OF COURSE, THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION IS MAINTAINING THAT THEIR COMMITMENT TO ISRAEL IS, IN FACT, STILL IRONCLAD, DESPITE THE WITHHOLDING OF THIS MILITARY SHIPMENT. ALL SELINA WANG FROM THE WHITE HOUSE. THANK YOU. AND COMING UP, DONALD TRUMP, WELL, HE MAY HAVE WON LAST NIGHT’S INDIANA PRIMARY, BUT THERE WERE PLENTY OF OTHER WARNING SIGNS ALONG WITH THAT VICTORY. EXPLAIN NEXT. >> WHAT DOES IT TAKE TO BE THE MOST WATCHED NEWSCAST IN AMERICA. WE ARE PART OF AN OPERATION. IT’S OUR COMBAT OPERATIONS. WE’RE APPROACHING THE GATE. MILITANTS CAME IN FROM DIFFERENT DIRECTIONS. NUCLEAR REACTOR. WE HAD A COUPLE OF LOADED AND READY TO GO. THE HOUSE IS DESTROYED, LIKE THE FLAG. YOU KNOW HOW IMPORTANT IT MADE THE USA GREAT WORK. >> HI, IT’S LEO. DAVID. I’M DAVID. >> YOU ARE WHO YOU ARE. EVERY NIGHT. ABC’S WORLD NEWS TONIGHT WITH DAVID IS AMERICA’S MOST WATCHED NEWSCAST. GLAD YOU’RE STICKING WITH US. WELL, HE MAY NOT BE SITTING IN A COURTROOM ACROSS FROM A WOMAN DESCRIBING LURID DETAILS ABOUT THEIR ALLEGED AFFAIR, BUT DONALD TRUMP’S LEGAL ISSUES ARE STILL FRONT AND CENTER TODAY. THE JUDGE IN THE FORMER PRESIDENT’S FLORIDA DOCUMENTS CASE JUST DELAYED THAT TRIAL INDEFINITELY. AND A GEORGIA APPEALS COURT DISHING OUT A NEW TWIST IN HIS ELECTION INTERFERENCE CASE. THE COURT SAYS IT WILL HEAR TRUMP’S APPEAL ON THAT RULING THAT ALLOWED DE FANI WILLIS TO STAY ON THE CASE. TRUMP’S TEAM HAS BEEN ARGUING THAT WILLIS’S RELATIONSHIP, FORMER SPECIAL PROSECUTOR NATHAN WADE, SHOULD BAR HER. THAT MOVE SIGNIFICANTLY DELAY THE CASE WITH ELECTION DAY. AS YOU KNOW, JUST SIX MONTHS AWAY NOW. LET’S BRING IN OUR INVESTIGATIVE REPORTER, OLIVIA RUBIN, TO BREAK IT ALL DOWN FOR US. SO, OLIVIA, LET’S TALK ABOUT HOW BIG OF A WIN THIS IS FOR TRUMP, ESPECIALLY IN TERMS OF HIS GEORGIA CASE FIRST. >> IT’S EXACTLY WHAT THEY WANTED. THEY WERE HOPING THAT THIS WOULD GET TAKEN UP ON APPEAL AND TO POTENTIALLY STALL THE CASE. AND WHEN YOU TAKE THE GEORGIA APPEALS RULING WITH JUDGE AILEEN CANNON’S DECISION THAT SHE IS DELAYING THE CASE INDEFINITELY, YOU HAVE TO BACK TO BACK ESSENTIALLY HOME RUNS FOR THE TRUMP TEAM. THEY ARE TRULY THRILLED WITH THIS. AND IT HAS BEEN A LOT OF THEIR STRATEGY, I WOULD SAY. KYRA, THINK ABOUT IT. THEY NECESSARILY THAT THEY HAD TO WIN THE DISQUALIFICATION RULING, ALTHOUGH THAT CERTAINLY WOULD HAVE BEEN A HUGE WIN. BUT JUST TO HAVE SOMETHING THAT THEY TAKE UP ON APPEAL IN HOPES OF BOGGING DOWN THE CASE THAT’S THE EXACT SAME THING THAT HAPPENED WITH THE JANUARY 6 CASE. THEY DID WIN THE INITIAL IMMUNITY RULING CLAIMING THAT HE HAS IMMUNITY, BUT GAVE THEM SOMETHING TO BRING UP THE CASE SO THAT THEY COULD HOPEFULLY BOG IT DOWN ON APPEAL. AND THAT’S EXACTLY WHAT WE’RE SEEING NOW IN GEORGIA. WHEN YOU TALK TO LEGAL EXPERTS DOWN THERE, WHICH I’VE BEEN DOING DAY, THEY KNOW THE LAWS DOWN THERE BETTER THAN ANYONE. THEY ALL SORT OF IN AGREEMENT THAT THERE IS ESSENTIALLY NO WORLD IN WHICH THIS CASE IS GOING TO NOW BE ABLE TO GO FORWARD BEFORE THE 2024 ELECTION SIMPLY BECAUSE OF THE PROCESS OF IT ALL THE TIME THAT IT IS GOING TO TAKE TO GET THIS ALL DONE, THAT IT AUTOMATICALLY STAYS THE CASE, BECAUSE IT CERTAINLY DOES NOT. BUT TRUMP’S TEAM NOW GO FORWARD AND ASK FOR THAT. STAY. GOT IT. SO LET’S JUST TALK ABOUT WHERE THIS CASE STANDS NOW AND JUST THE VARIOUS OPTIONS THAT COULD PLAY OUT COME NOVEMBER. WELL, THEY’RE GOING NOW SEE IF THEY CAN GET FANI WILLIS REMOVED FROM THE CASE. THEY ALSO HAVE NUMBER OF MOTIONS PENDING LOOKING TO THROW OUT MORE CHARGES IN THE CASE. THEY’VE ALREADY WON A COUPLE OF THEM. AT FIRST, HE WAS FACING 13 CHARGES IN GEORGIA AND NOW HE FACES TEN. SO WE’LL IF THEY CAN GET SOME MORE. THE JUDGE THERE, THOUGH, BEFORE THE COURT AGREED TO TAKE UP THE APPEAL HAD SORT OF VOWED, KYRA, TO KEEP THE CASE MOVING AN EARLIER ORDER. HE SAID EVEN IF THE COURT OF APPEALS TAKES THIS, I WILL KEEP MOVING FORWARD WITH OTHER UNRELATED MOTIONS. THE QUESTION REALLY BECOMES, CAN THEY HAVE A TRIAL WHERE THE OF THE PROSECUTOR IS IN DOUBT? FANI WILLIS HAS REPEATEDLY ASKED FOR AN AUGUST TRIAL DATE. JUDGE SCOTT MCAFEE HAS NEVER SET A TRIAL DATE IN THIS CASE, NOT EVEN BEFORE DISQUALIFICATION EFFORT BEGAN WHEN IT WAS IN JANUARY. AND NO ONE WAS TALKING ABOUT NATHAN WADE AND FANI WILLIS. THERE STILL WAS NO TRIAL DATE, AND SHE ALSO HAS SAID THAT THIS IS A TRIAL THAT COULD TAKE 3 TO 4 MONTHS. SO THE IDEA THAT YOU ARE GOING TO BE ABLE TO GET A TRIAL 3 TO 4 MONTHS IN BEFORE 20, 24, WHEN PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP COULD POTENTIALLY BECOME PRESIDENT AGAIN, JUST AS IT’S STARTING TO SEEM HIGHLY UNLIKELY. RIGHT. WELL, THERE ARE DELAYS IN FLORIDA, GEORGIA AND THE D.C. CASE ON HOLD PENDING THE SUPREME COURT DECISION THAT WE’RE WAITING FOR. SO OUT OF THE FOUR ONGOING CRIMINAL CASES IS THE HUSH MONEY CASE THE ONLY ONE WHERE WE COULD ACTUALLY SEE A DECISION BEFORE THE. >> WELL, THAT IS BECOMING THE QUESTION AND THAT’S WHAT’S STARTING TO SEEM INCREASINGLY LIKELY. BUT THE QUESTION REALLY IS GOING TO BECOME WHAT EFFECT COULD A CRIMINAL CONVICTION HAVE ON DONALD TRUMP’S ELECTION CHANCES. THERE ARE POLLS THAT YOU CAN SORT OF TRY GLEAN LITTLE NUGGETS FROM. THINK OF THE ABC NEWS POLL EARLIER THIS WEEK THAT FOUND THAT 4% OF SOME OF HIS SUPPORTERS COULD SAID THAT THEY WOULD NOT SUPPORT HIM IF HE WAS CONVICTED OF A CRIME. AND 4% SEEMED SMALL. BUT WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT HOW TIGHT THE ELECTION SEEMS, THAT COULD BE THE DIFFERENCE. SO IT COULD BE THAT THERE ONLY TO BE ONE TRIAL TO HURT DONALD TRUMP, OR IT COULD GO THE OPPOSITE AND A CONVICTION COULD HAVE NO EFFECT ON HIM WHATSOEVER. IT’S SORT OF YOU KNOW, IT DOESN’T NEED TO BE HOW MANY CONVICTIONS IS HE GOING TO HAVE? BUT IN SOME WORLD, WILL ONE CHANGE THE ELECTION BECAUSE IT IS LOOKING LIKE THERE IS GOING TO BE AT LEAST ONE VERDICT THAT COMES DOWN FOR DONALD TRUMP BEFORE THE ELECTION? OLIVIA RUBIN, APPRECIATE IT. THANK YOU. >> WELL, NIKKI HALEY IS EARNING THE TITLE OF THE LAZARUS OF 2024 AND SHOWING DONALD TRUMP THAT HIS GRIP ON THE REPUBLICAN PARTY ISN’T AS TIGHT AS HE MIGHT HAVE THOUGHT. HALEY DELIVERING A BIT OF A WARNING SIGN FOR THE FORMER PRESIDENT. LAST NIGHT’S PRIMARY IN INDIANA. WHILE TRUMP DID WIN, FORMER CANDIDATE HALEY GRABBED 22% OF THE VOTE, EVEN THOUGH SHE DROPPED OUT OF THE RACE IN MARCH. >> AND THIS ISN’T THE FIRST TIME THE FORMER SOUTH CAROLINA GOVERNOR HAS GATHERED VOTES SINCE EXITING THE RACE. HALEY ACTUALLY GOT A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF VOTES IN PRIMARIES IN PENNSYLVANIA WISCONSIN, NEW YORK, WASHINGTON, OHIO AND ARIZONA. >> DEPUTY POLITICAL DIRECTOR AVERI HARPER JOINING ME NOW TO DISCUSS WHAT THIS COULD MEAN ACTUALLY FOR THE BIG GENERAL ELECTION COME NOVEMBER. AVERY, LET’S TALK ABOUT THESE RECENT RESULTS AND WHAT DOES IT SIGNAL NOVEMBER, YOU THINK, AND JUST THE VOTE AGAINST TRUMP? >> IS IT GOING TO BECOME A PATTERN HERE? I THINK IT’S DEFINITELY A VULNERABILITY FOR FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP, PARTICULARLY IN SOME OF THESE BATTLEGROUND STATES. INDIANA IS NOT NECESSARILY A BATTLEGROUND STATE. IT’S ONE THAT’S RUBY RED. IT’S ONE THAT TRUMP WON BY DOUBLE DIGITS IN 2020. BUT WE’VE SEEN THIS PATTERN AT PLAY IN PLACES LIKE ARIZONA, PLACES, PENNSYLVANIA, WISCONSIN. >> THOSE ARE STATES WHERE THIS ELECTION IS GOING TO BE WON AND LOST AND LIKELY BY SLIM MARGINS. IT’S IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT, YOU KNOW, SOME OF THIS VOTE COULD HAVE BEEN IN FROM BEFORE NIKKI HALEY DROPPED OUT, BUT IT DOESN’T REPRESENT ALL OF THE VOTE THAT THERE WAS FOR HER IN STATES LIKE INDIANA, WHERE WE SAW MORE THAN 20% OF VOTERS COME OUT AND VOTE FOR HER. SO THE KEY IS GOING TO BE IS GOING TO HAPPEN IN NOVEMBER. WHERE DO THESE VOTERS GO? DO THEY HOLD THEIR NOSE AND VOTE FOR FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP? DO THEY FLIP? DO THEY VOTE FOR BIDEN? DO THEY OUT ALL TOGETHER OR DO THEY TRY AND FIND SOME SORT OF A THIRD PARTY ALTERNATIVE? AGAIN, I THINK THIS IS A VULNERABILITY TRUMP AS WE HEAD INTO NOVEMBER. >> SO GEARS A BIT TO EVEN MORE CONTROVERSY. AND THIS IS SURROUNDING TIKTOK. YOU KNOW, THE TIME INVOLVING DONALD TRUMP. YOU KNOW, HE WANTED TO BAN THE CHINESE OWNED PLATFORM WHEN HE WAS. BUT NOW THERE’S SUPER PAC, MAKE AMERICA AGAIN, INC., SUPPORTING THE FORMER PRESIDENT’S ELECTION CAMPAIGN WILL BE ON TICK, TICK, TIKTOK RATHER UNDER HANDLE AT MEGA. SO WHY THE FLIP FLOP YOU THINK ? >> WELL, I THINK IT’S IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT THE PAC IS NOT THE CAMPAIGN, BUT I DO THINK THAT THE POLITICAL ACTION, THEIR ARGUMENT IS GOING TO BE VERY SIMILAR TO THAT OF THE BIDEN CAMPAIGN. RIGHT. WE’VE SEEN PRESIDENT BIDEN ALSO COME OUT IN SUPPORT OF A TIKTOK BAN. BUT THERE IS A FEELING ON BOTH SIDES OF THE AISLE NOW WE’RE GOING TO SEE MAGA ON TICK TOCK THAT POWERFUL THIS IS A POWERFUL. TIKTOK IS AND THEY CANNOT ALLOW FOR ANY PLATFORM TO GO UNADDRESSED OR FOR THEM NOT TO ANY SPECIFIC PLATFORM THAT IS AS POWERFUL AS TICK TOCK, PARTICULARLY TO REACH YOUNG VOTERS. IT’S GOING TO BE AN IMPORTANT TOOL THEM TO REACH YOUNG VOTERS WITH THEIR MESSAGE. >> ALL RIGHT, AVERI HARPER GOOD TO SEE YOU. >> WELL, COMING UP, BEYONCE MAY BE GOING THE COUNTRY CHARTS, BUT CLEVE FRANCIS WAS THE SECOND BLACK COUNTRY ARTIST EVER SIGNED TO A MUSIC LABEL SINCE PRIDE IN 1965. HOW PIONEER PAVED THE WAY FOR QUEEN BEE DECADES AGO AGO. >> JEANNIE MONDAY, IT’S A PARTY WHEN KIDS TAKE CENTER STAGE. THEN TUESDAY MORNING IT’S TRANE AND REO SPEEDWAGON PERFORMING LAST ON TOUR ON TNA, SPONSORED BY LIVE NATION FROM THE TEAM THAT BROUGHT YOU THE DUPONT AWARD WINNING REPORT, A GROUNDBREAKING NEW INVESTIGATION SPANNING 9000 MILES TRASHED THE SECRET LIFE OF PLASTIC EXPORTS. >> STREAM FREE ON HULU. >> FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER, TWO BLACK ARTISTS ARE NOW AT THE TOP OF THE CHARTS BACK TO BACK FOR THEIR COUNTRY HITS. BEYONCE AND BOOSIE ARE BLOWING UP BILLBOARD HISTORY. IT’S A MOMENT IN MUSIC THAT’S FINALLY GIVING UNSUNG HEROES THEIR DUE ARTISTS LIKE CLEVE FRANCIS, WHO PAVED THE WAY FOR THE BLACK COUNTRY ARTIST DECADES AGO. >> TOMMY OH, MY. RIGHT DOWN THERE. OH, REALLY? IT GETS A LOT OF OH, YEAH. THAT IS A YOUNG CLEVE FRANCIS, THE SECOND BLACK COUNTRY ARTIST EVER SIGNED TO A MUSIC LABEL SINCE CHARLEY PRIDE IN 1965. BUT IT WAS A STRUGGLE. AMERICA WASN’T READY UNTIL NOW. SO AS WE WATCH BEYONCE, BOOM IN COUNTRY ALSO ARE GETTING A CHANCE TO HEAR THE ORIGINALS LIKE CLEVE AS, THEY ARE FEATURED IN. FROM WHERE I STAND, THE BLACK EXPERIENCE IN COUNTRY MUSIC, THE NEW BOX SET THAT EXPLORES BLACK MUSICIANS AND THEIR ROLE IN THE EVOLUTION OF COUNTRY MUSIC. IT WAS JUST REISSUED THROUGH THE COUNTRY MUSIC HALL OF FAME IN NASHVILLE. CLEVE JOINS ME HERE ON SET, ALONG WITH MICHAEL GRAY, HISTORIAN FOR THE COUNTRY MUSIC HALL OF FAME. GENTLEMEN, IT’S SO GREAT TO HAVE YOU BOTH HERE. GLAD TO BE HERE. SO, CLEVE, LET ME START WITH YOU. I MEAN, WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT BEYONCE’S CHANGING ALBUM? >> THIS IS WHILE THE SUBJECT IS BACK IN THE FOREFRONT. IT’S AMAZING. SHE’S EXPLORING A COUNTRY ROOTS AND INTRODUCING US TO NEW ACTS. >> WELL, AND YOU WERE ACTUALLY A CARDIOLOGIST. YOU TURNED COUNTRY MUSIC. AND AS I READ MORE ABOUT YOUR STORY, YOU KNOW, IT WAS STRUGGLE. EVEN THOUGH YOU MADE THE BILLBOARD CHARTS, YOU STILL HIT A WALL. >> WHY? WELL, THEY WERE NOT COUNTRY RADIO DECIDED NOT TO PLAY MY MUSIC. AND IT WAS IT WAS NO, THIS WAS NO PLACE FOR PEOPLE, ALTHOUGH WE WERE HERE FROM THE BEGINNING. THEY STILL TREATED AS THOUGH WE WERE INTERLOPERS AND WE DIDN’T BELONG THERE. BUT YOU DIDN’T GIVE UP. >> YOU GREW UP IN A FAMILY WITH NO MONEY IN LOUISIANA. BUT YOUR MOM SAID YOU’RE GOING TO GET AN EDUCATION AND YOU’RE GOING TO PURSUE YOUR DREAMS. >> YES. AND ONE OF THE DREAMS WAS TO CONTINUE MY MUSIC. I WENT ALL THE WAY TO CARDIOLOGY, BUT I KEPT MY LITTLE GUITAR AND I GOT DISCOVERED WHEN I WAS AT SOUTHERN UNIVERSITY ABOUT A PROFESSOR THERE TOLD ME I WAS SINGING COUNTRY AND FOLK, AND I KEPT DOING IT. >> YEAH. AND HE ASKED YOU? HE ACTUALLY MADE THINGS HAPPEN FOR YOU AND MICHAEL. I KNOW. YOU KNOW ALL CLEVE, BECAUSE AT YOUR MUSEUM, YOU HAVE HONORED BLACK ROOTS WITHIN COUNTRY MUSIC FOR DECADES AS A MUSEUM’S HISTORIAN. YOU HAVE MADE SURE THAT BLACK PIONEERS IN COUNTRY MUSIC ARE PROPERLY PORTRAYED FOR WHAT THEY’VE DONE AND CONTINUE TO DO. TELL ME WHY IT’S SO IMPORTANT JUST TO HIGHLIGHT AND REMEMBER GENRE. >> YEAH. THANK YOU, KYRA. BLACK AMERICANS HAVE ALWAYS CREATED COUNTRY, PLAIN AND SIMPLE. AND IT’S OUR JOB AS A COUNTRY HISTORY MUSEUM TO TELL THE STORY AND TELL IT ACCURATELY AND WE DO THAT THROUGH OUR EXHIBIT. YOU KNOW, STARTING THE WAY BACK TO THE ROOTS OF COUNTRY MUSIC THAT GO BACK CENTURIES, WHICH LEADS US TO THE BOX SET, WHICH ORIGINALLY WAS IDEA CLEVE. BACK IN 1995, YOU STARTED THE BLACK COUNTRY ASSOCIATION. YOU KNEW THERE NEEDED TO BE SOME SORT OF SOMETHING TO REMEMBER ALL THE AMAZING BLACK ARTISTS THIS IN THIS GENRE. >> WHY DID YOU FEEL A NEED TO DO THAT? WELL, PEOPLE KEPT TELLING ME. WHY ARE YOU INTERESTED IN COUNTRY MUSIC AT ALL? AND I HAD GROWN UP AROUND IT. SO I SAID, PEOPLE JUST DON’T KNOW. SO I FORMED THIS GROUP CALLED THE BLACK COUNTRY MUSIC ASSOCIATION AND WENT OVER TO TALK TO THE COUNTRY MUSIC HALL OF FAME, TOLD THEM ABOUT THE DILEMMA. WE NEEDED TO IDENTIFY THOSE PEOPLE. LET THE BOTH BLACK AND WHITE PUBLIC KNOW THAT WE’RE ALL HERE . >> WE WERE SINCE THE BEGINNING WHERE YOU IDENTIFIED THEM. ALL RIGHT, MICHAEL, THIS PARTNERSHIP WITH CLEVE, THIS BOX SET, WHICH CHRONICLES THE HISTORY OF BLACK MUSICIANS AND THE CONTRIBUTION TO COUNTRY MUSIC. I JUST WANT TO TAKE A QUICK LISTEN TO THE SOUNDS OF THE CAROLINE THE CHOCOLATE DROPS FEATURING RHIANNON GIDDENS. >> LET’S TAKE A LISTEN. RUBY, HONEY, ARE YOU MAD AT TOM? WELL, THIS PARTNERSHIP IS INCREDIBLE. EVEN EDUCATING PEOPLE FOR DECADES IN THE MUSEUM ALONG WITH YOU. AND NOW SEEING THESE NEW ARTISTS LIKE BEYONCE AND SHIBU Z BLOW THINGS UP. I’VE GOT A QUESTION FOR YOU, CLEVE. YOU KNOW, IS THIS THE TIME THAT BLACK WILL FINALLY BE GRANTED THE SAME FREEDOM AS WHITE ARTISTS AND BE ABLE TO EXIST IN THIS SPACE WITHOUT JUDGMENT? IT WILL DEPEND ON HOW THE RECORD LABELS DO THEY, YOU KNOW, INVESTIGATE? DO THEY LOOK FOR BLACK ARTISTS AND YOU IT’S LIKE A LOTTERY. YOU KNOW, LET ME BUY A LOTTERY TICKET, YOU KNOW, TO MAKE IT IN THIS BUSINESS IS A LOTTERY. EVEN THOUGH YOU GET ON A LABEL, YOU MAY NOT MAKE IT BIG, BUT YOU SHOULD HAVE A CHANCE TO. SO HOPING THAT BLACKS GET A CHANCE TO BUY THE LOTTERY TICKET FOR COUNTRY FAME. WELL, I’LL TELL YOU WHAT I THINK SO MANY HAVE HIT THE LOTTERY AND YOU HELP THEM DO IT. I APPRECIATE YOU SO MUCH HERE. NOW I SEE A CARDIOLOGIST. IF I SE YOU WHEN YOU SING TO ME? >> WELL, IF. YEAH, ONCE I TAKE CARE OF YOU MEDICALLY, I CAN INDEED.

You’re watching America’s number one streaming news ABC News live breaking news exclusives live reporting across the globe keeps streaming with ABC News live. This is not about parents who just let their kids watch violent movies or play violent video games. This is about parents who neglected their son ignored his cries for help and then bought him a gun the first parents in America to be charged in a school shooting involuntary manslaughter charges against parents of the shooter at Oxford High School who killed 4 students and wounded others. There’s a myth that the shooter just snaps. It’s just not true. There are always signs. He was crying for help and being ignored. He had pictures of the Target on his bedroom wall shell casings on his nightstand the very toxic turbulent relationship. Those people are yikes the life they lived was just crazy the sex thing and the really terrible things they had video of their sexual acts. They purchased that gun for him with his money and bragged about it being told by a school counselor that he thinks their son’s going to kill himself. And they do nothing as soon as I heard they were called to the school that day. The message is about lol. Don’t get caught. Those were very very concerning to me. That’s the moment that no juror is going to think. Well, haven’t we all been Here’s what it is. I got it. They do not seem Job about him having the gun. There was no shot zero zero School leaders aren’t created. They’re made and it’s made over time. You don’t get to walk away from that you just don’t. That’s a criminal act. Sins of the parents the crumbly trials the opposite of love is not hate. It’s just being ignored only on Hulu. GNA Monday, it’s a party when Kidz. Bop takes Center Stage then Tuesday morning. It’s trained and REO Speedwagon performing live. on tour on GMA sponsored by Live Nation Let’s go. The ship is incredible. It feels like living in a science fiction movie. We just saw where no one has seen before look at that. We are heading into the unknown. It doesn’t get any more Cutting Edge and this Tonight trapping the deadly tornado outbreak and damage as the severe weather moves east across Israel Hamas war and Rafa what happens next more Americans turn to World News Tonight with David Muir the most-watched news cast on television. >> Eva: WELCOME BACK TO "GMA." COURT IS BACK IN SESSION TOMORROW IN MANHATTAN WITH STORMY DANIELS AGAIN TAKING THE STAND AFTER AN EXPLOSIVE DAY OF TESTIMONY IN CRIMINAL COURT. >> Gio: YEAH, THE ADULT FILM STAR SHARING SALACIOUS TESTIMONY ABOUT HER ALLEGED RELATIONSHIP WITH THE FORMER PRESIDENT AND HIS HUSH MONEY TRIAL. HE DENIES ALL WRONGDOING, AND JOINING US NOW FROM OUTSIDE THE COURTHOUSE, OF COURSE, THE IS ABC SENIOR INVESTIGATIVE CORRESPONDENT, AARON. AARON HAS BEEN ON THIS FROM THE VERY BEGINNING. WHAT STOOD OUT FOR YOU THE MOST IN STORMY’S TESTIMONY? >> Reporter: I THINK, GIO, THAT IT EVEN HAPPENED. STORMY DANIELS, TELLING HER STORY IN FRONT OF A CRIMINAL COURT JURY WITH FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP FORCED TO SIT THERE AND LISTEN TO ALL OF IT, AND HE WAS FIDGETING. HE WOULDN’T LOOK AT HER. HE DID HIS BEST TO KEEP AN EXPRESSION OF DISINTEREST, BUT THE JURY SEEMED SPELLBOUND BY ALL OF THIS, SOME TAKING FURIOUS NOTES AS STORMY DANIELS WENT INTO DETAIL WE HADN’T HEARD BEFORE FROM THE BLACK-AND-WHITE TILE FLOOR IN THE HOTEL SUITE TO THE GIGANTIC FLORAL ARRANGEMENT IN THE FOYER TO THE SILK OR SATIN PAJAMAS SHE SAID TRUMP WAS WEARING TO THE IMBALANCE OF POWER THAT SHE SAID EXISTED BETWEEN THEM IN THIS ENCOUNTER THAT TRUMP DENIES EVER HAPPENED. >> Eva: THEY’RE NOT IN COURT TODAY, BUT THEY WILL RETURN TOMORROW, AND THE DEFENSE WILL CONTINUE THEIR CROSS-EXAMINATION OF STORMY DANIELS. WHAT’S THEIR STRATEGY BEEN SO FAR? >> Reporter: WELL, FIRST, THEY OBJECTED TO HER EVEN TESTIFYING, AND EVEN THE JUDGE AGREED SOME OF THE DETAILS PROBABLY WOULD HAVE BEEN BETTER LEFT UNSAID. SO, THE DEFENSE IS GOING TO HARP ON THE DIFFERENCES IN THE ACCOUNTS THAT STORMY DANIELS HAS GIVEN. THE DEFENSE BELIEVES SHE NEVER WOULD HAVE SPOKEN LIKE THIS IN 2016, BUT PROSECUTORS HAVE SAID THESE ARE THE VERY DETAILS THAT DONALD TRUMP PAID TO BURY WITH HIS $130,000 HUSH PAYMENT TO DANIELS JUST 12 DAYS BEFORE THE 2016 ELECTION. ON CROSS-EXAMINATION, STORMY DANIELS HAS ALREADY CONCEDED SHE HATES DONALD TRUMP, SHE WANTED TO SELL HER STORY, THOUGH SHE RESISTED THE DEFENSE NOTION THAT THIS AMOUNTED TO EXTORTION. >> Gio: AND AARON, YOU ALREADY TALKED ABOUT HOW DONALD TRUMP IS REACTING TO STORMY DANIELS’S PERFORMANCE OR TESTIMONY THERE, BUT THIS IS NOW DAY 14 TOMORROW OF THIS TRIAL, SO OVERALL, WHEN YOU LOOK AT ALL THOSE 14 DAYS, WHAT HAS HIS DEMEANOR BEEN LIKE? >> Reporter: WELL, HE WAS CLEARLY FURIOUS WITH STORMY DANIELS’ TESTIMONY. THE JUDGE TOLD HIS DEFENSE ATTORNEY THAT HE COULD HEAR TRUMP CURSING AUDIBLY AND VISIBLY REACTING, AND THE JUDGE CALLED THAT CONTEMPTUOUS AND TOLD THE ATTORNEY, YOU GOT TO TALK TO HIM, TELL HIM TO KNOCK IT OFF, BECAUSE IT COULD BE PREJUDICIAL, ALTHOUGH HE SAID HE DIDN’T WANT TO SAY IT OUT LOUD AND EMBARRASS THE FORMER PRESIDENT. HE DOESN’T WANT TO HEAR ANY OF THIS. HE BELIEVES THIS TRIAL IS UNFAIR. HE HAS SPOKEN FREQUENTLY OF A GAG ORDER THAT PREVENTS HIM FROM TALKING ABOUT THE WITNESSES AND THE JURY IN THE CASE. HE’S ALREADY RUN AFOUL OF IT TEN TIMES, AMASSED $10,000 IN FINES. THE JUDGE SAID THOSE FINES ARE NOT HAVING ANY DETERRENT EFFECT, SO IF HE DOES IT AGAIN, HE COULD BE TOSSED IN JAIL. >> Eva: AARON, I HAVE TO ASK, YOU MENTIONED THOSE GAG ORDERS AND THAT THREAT FROM THE JUDGE THAT IF HE VIOLATES IT AGAIN, THAT HE COULD BE TOSSED IN JAIL. HOW LIKELY IS THAT, REALLY? >> Reporter: IT SEEMS IMPOSSIBLE, DOESN’T IT? A FORMER PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES HAULED OFF TO JAIL OVER A GAG ORDER VIOLATION. I’LL TELL YOU, THOUGH, EVA, THE SECRET SERVICE HAS ACTUALLY BEEN MAKING INQUIRIES ABOUT WHAT THAT WOULD MEAN, SO THEY’RE TAKING EVEN THE POSSIBILITY SERIOUSLY. THE MAYOR OF NEW YORK, ERIC ADAMS, SAYS THAT WHATEVER THE CITY’S CORRECTION DEPARTMENT HAS TO DO, THEY’LL DO TO ACCOMMODATE THE FORMER PRESIDENT, BUT MY GOODNESS. EVEN THE POSSIBILITY LEAVES YOU SCRATCHING YOUR HEAD. >> Eva: ALL RIGHT, AARON KETERSKY, ON IT FROM THE BEGINNING, AND HE’LL CONTINUE TO FOLLOW IT ALL FOR US. THANK YOU SO MUCH. >>> UP NEXT, A LOVE LETTER TO HER DAUGHTER. >> Gio: YEAH, ESPN’S ELLE DUNCAN, OUR FRIEND, JOINS US ON THE UNIQUE MESSAGE IN HERMA" IS. What does it take?

JUST KEEP THAT COMING, GUYS. >> Gio: THIS CAME ABOUT IN A REALLY UNIQUE WAY, BECAUSE THIS STARTED AS A LETTER TO YOUR 18-MONTH-OLD DAUGHTER. HOW DID THIS TURN INTO A BOOK? >> THIS WAS A SPECIAL FOR ESPN YEARS AGO THROUGH OUR CULTURAL ARM, AND THEY ASKED IF I WOULD WRITE A LOVE LETTER TO A BLACK WOMAN, AND I WAS LIKE, I’M GOING TO WRITE THIS TO MY DAUGHTER. WHEN THE OPPORTUNITY CAME AROUND THROUGH DISNEY PUBLISHING TO TURN THIS INTO A BOOK, I WAS INTRIGUED BECAUSE I WROTE THIS LETTER WITH THESE REALLY BIG THEMES AND MANTRAS AND PROMISES AND VOWS, KNOWING MY DAUGHTER WOULD NOT UNDERSTAND IT FOR MANY, MANY YEARS, SO I THOUGHT THIS WOULD BE AN OPPORTUNITY TO SORT OF MEET HER WHERE SHE’S AT. SHE’S 5 NOW. SHE CAN READ THE BOOK HERSELF. SHE STILL DOESN’T UNDERSTAND SOME OF THE OVERARCHING THINGS, BUT SHE CAN RELATE TO THE ILLUSTRATIONS AND REACT TO SOME OF THE CULTURAL FIGURES THAT WE’VE WEAVED THROUGHOUT AS WELL. IT’S A LITTLE BIT OF A THREEFOLD APPROACH. IT’S A VOW FROM MOTHERS TO THEIR DAUGHTERS, IT’S FOR CHILDREN IN THE ILLUSTRATIONS, AND ALSO, THERE’S A LITTLE BIT OF HISTORY THAT’S WEAVED IN. >> Eva: LET’S TALK ABOUT THOSE ILLUSTRATIONS, BECAUSE THEY ARE BEAUTIFUL. >> YEAH. >> Eva: HOW MUCH DISCUSSION DID YOU HAVE AROUND WHAT YOU NEED TH THESE PICTURES TO LOOK LIKE? >> WE WANTED LAURA FREEMAN, AND WE WAITED FOR HER SPECIFICALLY BECAUSE OF THIS WORK. I’M A CREATIVE. I DON’T LIKE TO GET IN THE WAY OF CREATIVE PROCESSING, SO I REALLY DIDN’T GIVE HER THAT MUCH DIRECTION. THERE WAS A COUPLE OF THINGS THAT I WANTED TO BE INTENTIONAL ABOUT. THERE’S SOME IMAGE OF, YOU KNOW, MY DAUGHTER CRAWLING AND GOING THROUGH THE STAGES WHERE SHE STARTS RUNNING, AND I REALLY WANTED SORT OF THE WORDS THAT I WROTE TO BE PUNCTUATED BY SOME ILLUSTRATIONS THERE, BUT SHE MOSTLY, YOU KNOW, ASKED ME FOR INSPIRATION BY SENDING A TON OF PICTURES OF MY DAUGHTER, BUT OTHER THAN THAT, SHE JUST COOKED. AND WHEN I GOT THAT FIRST COPY OF THE BOOK, I WAS BLOWN AWAY. SHE REALLY TOOK MY WORDS AND MADE THEM HER OWN AND CAME UP WITH SOME OF THE MOST BEAUTIFUL IMAGERY. >> Gio: MY GOSH, THEY REALLY ARE SO BEAUTIFUL. WE SEE THAT PICTURE THERE BECAUSE — IT’S THE DIFFERENT STAGES OF HER LIFE. AND IT’S SORT OF FULL OF ALL THE PROMISES THAT YOU MAKE TO HER, AND I THINK THE OVERARCHING MESSAGE IS REALLY ABOUT JOY. >> YES. >> Gio: WHY IS THAT SO IMPORTANT FOR YOU? >> I THINK WHEN WE TALK ABOUT BEING A BLACK WOMAN AND THE EXPERIENCE OF BEING A BLACK WOMAN, IT IS VERY COMPLEX, AND WE UNDERSTAND THAT, AND THERE ARE SOME THINGS THAT WE CAN’T SHY AWAY FROM, BUT WHAT I WANTED HER TO UNDERSTAND IS THAT WE HAVE SO MUCH JOY. YOU KNOW? THE BLACK EXPERIENCE ISN’T ALWAYS TRAUMA. THERE IS A TON OF JOY. THERE’S SO MUCH SISTERHOOD. THERE’S SO MUCH JOY-BUILDING, AND I WANTED HER TO REMEMBER THAT MORE THAN ANYTHING, WHILE I PREPARE HER FOR LIFE AND A TALK ABOUT SOME OF THOSE COMPLEXITIES, WE’RE GOING TO LAUGH AND PLAY AND CELEBRATE. >> Gio: LOOK AT THE SMILE WE’RE SEEING ON THE SCREEN. >> WE DO A LOT OF LAUGHING AND CELEBRATING.

I was the guy that made it happen now screaming on Hulu. ♪ >> Eva: THAT OBVIOUSLY IS BECAUSE WE’RE TALKING ABOUT BEETHOVEN TODAY. THERE’S SOME INTERESTING NEW INFORMATION THEY’VE DISCOVERED FROM A LOCK OF BEETHOVEN’S HAIR. >> Dr. Darien: I LOVE THIS, WHEN YOU HAVE THE SCIENCE OF TODAY TO SOLVE THE QUESTIONS OF THE PAST. THIS IS A NEW FINDING THEY FOUND IN TERMS OF UNDERSTANDING HOW BEETHOVEN DIED. THERE WAS A LOT OF THEORIES BASED OFF OF DIARIES AND JOURNAL ENTRIES IN TERMS OF HIS SYMPTOMS, BUT NOW, USING LOCKS OF HIS HAIR THAT HAVE BEEN PRESERVED OVER THOSE 200 YEARS, THEY WERE ABLE TO IDENTIFY SPECIFIC FINDINGS THAT COULD LEAD TO REASONS WHY HE MIGHT HAVE DIED. ONE OF THEM BEING EXTREMELY HIGH LEVELS OF LEAD. MORE THAN 300 TIMES THE AMOUNT OF LEAD THAT YOU WOULD TYPICALLY FIND IN HAIR FOUND IN HIS LOCKS OF HAIR, WHICH MAY HAVE CONTRIBUTED TO HIS HEARING LOSS TOWARD THE MIDDLE OF HIS LIFE. >> Gio: THAT’S AMAZING THAT THEY CAN FIND THAT THROUGH A LOCK OF HAIR. >> Dr. Darien: IT’S INCREDIBLE. THE GENETIC ANALYSIS THAT’S AVAILABLE NOW THROUGH THE MAYO CLINIC, THEY WERE NOT ONLY ABLE TO FIND EXTREMELY HIGH LEVELS OF LEAD BUT ALSO DO GENETIC ANALYSIS ON THE HAIR TO FIND THAT HE HAD A PREDISPOSITION FOR LIVER DECIDE, AND WHAT CONNECTS BOTH OF THESE THINGS IS HIS USE OF ALCOHOL. THEY USED ALCOHOL, THINKING OF IT AS A HEALTH AID, AND LEAD WAS USED, LEAD ACETATE, WAS USED AS A SWEETENER IN ALCOHOL, WHICH UNFORTUNATELY GAVE MANY PEOPLE LEAD POISONING. >> Eva: TOWARDS THE END OF HIS LIFE, HE WAS KNOWN FOR NOT BEING IN HIS RIGHT MIND. DO YOU THINK THE LEAD PLAYED A PART OF THAT? >> Dr. Darien: I THINK STRONGLY. WHEN YOU TRY TO CONNECT ALL THESE VARIOUS SYMPTOMS, LEAD POISONING CAN BE VERY CONFUSING AND MISSED BECAUSE IT PRESENTS WITH A VARIETY OF SYMPTOMS, FATIGUE, LETHARGY, DEAFNESS. THAT MIGHT HAVE CONTRIBUTED TO ALL THESE SYMPTOMS. IT MIGHT BE THE ANSWER OF WHY HE WAS NOT IN HIS RIGHT STATE OF MIND. >> Gio: HE’S NOT ONLY A DOCTOR, HE’S A BEETHOVEN EXPERT. >> Dr. Darien: BIOLOGICAL HISTORY IS A SPECIALTY. >> Eva: A BIT. Let’s go. The ship is incredible. It feels like living in a science fiction movie. We just saw where no one has seen before look at that. We are heading into the unknown.

HONOR OF AANHPI MONTH, WE ARE CELEBRATING MEMBERS OF THE COMMUNITY WHO ARE MAKING A DIFFERENCE FOR EVERYONE. >> Eva: SHE’S A CONTENT CREATOR WITH MILLIONS OF FOLLOWERS, EMPOWERING WOMEN AND YOUNG PEOPLE. JOINING US NOW IS COFOUNDER OF AUGUST, NADYA OKAMOTO. >> Gio: WELCOME, WELCOME TO THE SHOW. >> Eva: I FEEL LIKE CONTENT CREATOR DOESN’T FULLY ENGULF EVERYTHING THAT YOU DO. YOU HAVE BEEN A REAL CHAMPION FOR MAKING PEOPLE FEEL COMFORTABLE TALKING ABOUT PERIODS. >> YEAH. >> Eva: A VERY UNCOMFORTABLE TOPIC FOR A LOT OF PEOPLE. TALK TO US A LITTLE BIT ABOUT HOW THAT ALL STARTED. >> YEAH, I MEAN, I STARTED TALKING ABOUT PERIODS, AND IT BECAME MY PROFESSION TEN YEARS AGO WHEN I WAS 16, AND I WOULD SAY THAT MY MISSION HAS NEVER CHANGED SINCE THAT. MY GOAL WAS ALWAYS TO TALK ABOUT PERIODS, DESTIGMATIZE IT, REALLY RAISE EDUCATION ABOUT BASIC PERIOD FACTS AND ALSO DEMOCRATIZE ACCESS TO QUALITY PERIOD CARE. IT’S JUST THE VEHICLE BY HOW I’VE DONE THAT HAS SHIFTED OVER THE YEARS AS I’VE LEARNED. I STARTED A NONPROFIT WHEN I WAS 16. I RAN FOR OFFICE A FEW YEARS LATER, WROTE A BOOK, AND THEN I THINK ALL OF THAT AND KIND OF WORKING IN THE SPACE, WORKING WITH A LOT OF THE BRANDS TO DISTRIBUTE PRODUCTS FOR CHARITABLE PURPOSES IS WHAT LED ME TO START A CONSUMER BRAND, KIND OF REALIZING THAT, IN A CONSUMERIST CULTURE, CONSUMER BRANDS ARE SUCH AN OPPORTUNITY TO CHANGE CULTURE AND REALLY CHANGE HABITS. >> Gio: AND YOU CALL IT THE AUGUST COMMUNITY. TELL US WHAT IT IS THAT YOU’VE LEARNED ON THIS JOURNEY SINCE YOU STARTED THE AUGUST COMMUNITY. >> IT’S NOT THE MOST POSITIVE THING THAT I HAVE LEARNED, BUT I’VE REALLY CONTINUED TO BE SURPRISED BY HOW MUCH OUR SCHOOL SYSTEM HAS LET US DOWN WHEN IT COMES TO BASIC SEX ED. I THINK THE MOST VIRAL — CONSISTENTLY VIRAL CONTENT THAT WE MAKE RESONATES BECAUSE IT’S ANSWERING BASIC COMMON QUESTIONS PEOPLE HAVE, LIKE, WHAT HOLE DOES A TAMPON GO IN? WHAT COLOR SHOULD PERIOD BLOOD BE? HOW MANY DAYS SHOULD IT BE? CAN I PEE WITH A TAMPON IN? BASIC QUESTIONS. >> Gio: AND REALLY IMPORTANT ONES. >> AND REALLY IMPORTANT ONES THAT I THINK I WOULD HOPE, AND WE WOULD ALL HOPE, THAT PEOPLE WHO HAVE BEEN MENSTRUATING FOR YEARS, DECADES, EVEN, KNOW THE ANSWER TO, BUT I THINK THAT’S BEEN ONE OF THE THINGS THAT CONSISTENTLY SURPRISES ME IS JUST HOW MUCH WE STILL HAVE UNANSWERED BASIC QUESTIONS ABOUT PERIODS. >> Gio: TELL US ABOUT THIS IMPORTANT INITIATIVE THAT YOU LAUNCHED LAST YEAR THROUGH THE AUGUST COMMUNITY. >> ONE OF THE THINGS I’VE ALWAYS CARED DEEPLY ABOUT IS THE TAMPON TAX, AND YOU KNOW, TEN YEARS AGO, WHEN I STARTED, IT WAS IN 40 STATES. NOW WE’RE IN 20. BUT IT’S A SALES TAX ON PERIOD PRODUCTS CONSIDERING THEM NONESSENTIAL GOODS, LIKE LUXURY ITEMS. MEANWHILE, PRODUCTS LIKE — YEAH, I KNOW. WE CAN LAUGH. PRODUCTS LIKE RO GAIN, VIAGRA, CONSIDERED MEDICAL NECESSITIES, AND I THINK THAT’S RIDICULOUS. SINCE THE BEGINNING OF AUGUST, WE HAVE ALWAYS EITHER NOT CHARGED CUSTOMERS THE TAMPON TAX WHEREVER POSSIBLE, BUT WHEN WE LAUNCHED IN STORES, WE CREATED A WAY THAT IF YOU TEXT US A PICTURE OF YOUR RECEIPT AND YOU WERE CHARGED A TAX, WE WILL VENMO, PAYPAL YOU BACK WITHIN 48 HOURS FOR THAT CHARGE. IT’S OUR WAY OF STANDING UP AND SAYING, WE DON’T AGREE WITH THIS TAX. WE THINK IT’S WRONG AND UNJUST. AND WHILE WE CONTINUE TO FIGHT ON THE BACK END THROUGH LEGISLATIVE EFFORTS TO TAKE DOWN THE TAMPON TAX IN THE REMAINING 20 STATES, WE WILL REIMBURSE YOU FOR IT IN THE MEANTIME. >> Gio: OH. >> Eva: THESE ARE NECESSARY PRODUCTS. >> Gio: YEP. >> ABSOLUTE NECESSARY PRODUCTS, BUT WE HAVE A LONG WAYS TO GO IN TERMS OF GETTING THERE. >> Gio: WELL, YOU’RE AT THE FOREFRONT OF IT. SO, YOU’RE SO COOL. NADYA OKAMOTO, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR BEING HERE. >> THANK YOU. HAPPY AANHPI MONTH. >> Gio: ABSOLUTELY. THANK YOU AGAIN. >>> UP NEXT HERE ON "GMA," TORY JOHNSON IS GOING TO JOIN US.

AND TAKE A LOOK AT THIS VIDEO. THIS IS FROM AN BUILDING IN PORTAGE, MICHIGAN. THAT’S SOUTH CENTRAL. IT SHOWS JUST HOW STRONG AND LIFE THREATENING STORM WINDS WERE AS THEY BARRELED THROUGH THAT WHOLE AREA. THERE HAVE BEEN MULTIPLE INJURIES REPORTED FAR, BUT NO DEATHS. SOME GOOD NEWS THERE. MICHIGAN GOVERNOR GRETCHEN SPOKE ABOUT THE AFTERMATH EARLIER TODAY. FEEL VERY LUCKY THAT THIS DIDN’T RESULT IN. BUT THE DEVASTATION IS REAL. THERE ARE A LOT OF DISPLACED, A LOT OF BUSINESSES THAT HAVE BEEN THAT ARE GOING TO STRUGGLE . AND TODAY MILLIONS OF AMERICANS ARE UP AGAINST WHAT COULD BE A THIRD DAY OF MORE DESTRUCTIVE TORNADOES. LET’S BRING IN ABC’S ALEX PRESHA REPORTING FROM PORTAGE, MICHIGAN, JUST OUTSIDE FEDEX BUILDING WHERE EMPLOYEES WERE TRAPPED WHEN THE TORNADO ROLLED THROUGH THERE. ALIX, MICHIGAN, NOW UNDER A STATE OF EMERGENCY. HOW BAD WAS THIS TORNADO? >> WHAT ARE OFFICIALS SAY? >> WELL, TERRY, I MEAN, YOU SAW THE DESTRUCTION TO THAT FEDEX FACILITY. IT LITERALLY RIPPED THE ROOF OFF LIKE A TIN CAN. AND WE’VE SEEN OTHER AREAS LIKE THIS HERE IS ABOUT A HALF MILE AWAY FROM. THAT PLANT, SIMILAR DESTRUCTION ACTUALLY, YOU KNOW CREWS HAVE BEEN OUT ALL DAY WORKING ON THIS HOUSE. THEY’VE BEEN CHOPPING OF A TREE. A TREE FELL ON THE SIDE OF IT HERE. THEY’VE BEEN REMOVING IT. YOU SEE THAT WOOD CHIPPER THERE IN THE DISTANCE IT FEELS LIKE IT’S A CONSTRUCTION ZONE HERE. AND IN A WAY, IT IS BUT THAT’S WHAT’S BEEN GOING ON ALL DAY IN THIS COMMUNITY AS RESIDENTS TRY TO PICK UP THE PIECES AND GET BACK TO SOME SORT OF NORMAL OBVIOUSLY A LOT LEFT HERE. ONE OF THE BIG THINGS THAT THEY WERE DEALING WITH HERE, TERRY, ARE THE NUMEROUS DOWNED POWER LINES. IT WAS ACTUALLY SOME 20,000 PEOPLE THAT WERE WITHOUT POWER WHEN THIS STORM BARRELED THROUGH HERE AND THESE POWER LINES BEING DOWN, IT ACTUALLY HINDERED SOME OF THIS EQUIPMENT LIKE WHAT YOU’RE SEEING BEHIND ME FROM IN. THEY HAD TO DEAL WITH THAT FIRST. BUT NOW A LOT OF THAT’S BEEN PICKED UP. AND SO YOU’RE THAT THAT THE THE TREE REMOVAL PROCESS REALLY KIND OF GET UNDERWAY. THEY MADE A LOT OF PROGRESS ON THIS TREE. AND AGAIN, WE’RE JUST ABOUT A HALF MILE AWAY FROM THAT FEDEX FACILITY. BUT THERE ARE A LOT OF PLACES THAT THAT ARE GOING TO BE PICKING UP THE PIECES FOR QUITE SOME TIME HERE. >> AGAIN, THIS MUST HAVE BEEN A TERRIFYING MOMENT, ALEX, AND I SEE OBVIOUSLY YOU’RE NOT STANDING IN FRONT OF A FEDEX THERE, BUT I KNOW YOU’VE BEEN AT THAT SITE. THAT ONE IS THE MOST DRAMATIC THAT THAT TORNADO TOOK DIRECT AIM AT THAT BUILDING. WE’RE LOOKING AT IT NOW. JUST TORE THE ROOF OFF OF IT. WAS ANYONE INJURED. >> WHAT CAN YOU TELL US ABOUT THAT SITE? SO, TERRY, THERE WERE 50 PEOPLE INSIDE THAT FEDEX FACILITY WHEN THE STORM ROLLED THROUGH, TRAPPED INSIDE. THANKFULLY, FEDEX TELLING ABC NEWS THAT THEY’RE ONLY SORRY. I’M DEALING WITH A GOLDEN RETRIEVER HERE. ONLY SOME MINOR INJURIES, NO SERIOUS INJURIES FROM FROM THAT FEDEX FACILITY, WHICH WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE PICTURES THERE ,IT’S INCREDIBLE THAT THAT’S ALL THAT HAPPENED. ABSOLUTELY. BE CAREFUL OF THAT DOG. I’VE HAD A DOG BITE ME WHEN I WAS YOUR POSITION DOING A STAND UP ONCE ON CAMERA. SO TAKE CARE YOURSELF, ALEX, AND THANK YOU FOR THAT REPORT FROM THE STORM ZONE. >> APPRECIATE IT. WELL, MILLIONS OF PEOPLE REMAIN IN STORM ZONES TODAY. ABC NEWS METEOROLOGIST MELISSA GRIFFIN HAS MORE ON WHERE THIS STORM SYSTEM HEADING NEXT. >> HI, MELISSA. TERRY MAY IS PEAK MONTH. IT’S SURELY LIVING UP TO ITS NAME BECAUSE WE HAVE TORNADO WATCHES IN SEVERAL STATES FROM OKLAHOMA AND ARKANSAS ALL THE WAY BACK THROUGH ALMOST THE ENTIRE STATE OF KENTUCKY, INCLUDING NASHVILLE THERE. THIS IS THROUGH LATE THIS EVENING, EVEN INTO THE OVERNIGHT HOURS, WE COULD SEE THESE STORMS. >> IT’S NOT JUST THE SEVERE WEATHER. WE ALSO HAVE FLOOD WATCHES IN EFFECT FROM TO CINCINNATI RIGHT DOWN INTO THE CAROLINAS, BECAUSE LOOK AT HOW HEAVY THIS RAIN IS ALONG WITH THESE SEVERE STORMS AS THEY PUSH ACROSS THE TENNESSEE EVEN INTO PARTS OF THE MID-ATLANTIC. THIS IS THE LARGE AREA OF OVER MILLION AMERICANS THAT COULD SEE SEVERE WEATHER THROUGH LATE TONIGHT. THIS RED AREA IS WHERE WE HAVE THE HIGHEST THREAT FOR GIANT HAIL AND SIGNIFICANT WIND GUSTS TO 80 MILES PER HOUR. BUT ANYONE FROM JUST EAST OF DALLAS ALL THE WAY INTO ST. LOUIS AND INTO CHARLOTTE NORTH CAROLINA COULD SEE THAT THREAT FOR STRONG TORNADOES. AND, OF COURSE THE OVERNIGHT HOURS ARE WET AND THEY’RE MOST DANGEROUS. THE SEVERE WEATHER DOESN’T END THERE. WE HAVE YET ANOTHER RISK TOMORROW, THE ENHANCED RISK DRAPED ACROSS THE GULF COAST. BUT ANYONE AS FAR NORTH AS D.C. COULD SEVERE WEATHER ON THURSDAY TERRY. >> ALL RIGHT. WILL BATTEN DOWN HATCHES HERE AS WELL. >> MELISSA, THANK YOU VERY MUCH. WELL, A GEORGIA COURT HAS AGREED TO REVIEW THE RULING BY A TRIAL COURT JUDGE THAT ALLOWED DISTRICT ATTORNEY FANI WILLIS TO REMAIN AS A PROSECUTOR ON GEORGIA’S ELECTION INTERFERENCE CASE AGAINST DONALD TRUMP. THIS IS A BIG DEAL AND CO-DEFENDANTS AS WELL. THAT APPEALS COURT MOVE COULD SIGNIFICANTLY PUSH BACK THE TIMELINE FOR A TRIAL IN THIS CASE. AND TRUMP’S ATTORNEY IN A STATEMENT SAYS THE FORMER PRESIDENT LOOKS FORWARD TO HIS TEAM, ARGUING THAT THE APPEALS COURT SHOULD REMOVE AND THE CASE’S DISMISSAL AS WELL. THIS COMES AFTER JUDGE SCOTT MCCARTHY, YOU MAY REMEMBER THIS. HE’S OVERSEEING TRUMP’S TRIAL. AGREED ALLOW D.A. WILLIS TO REMAIN ON THIS CASE AS LONG AS ONE OF HER TOP PROSECUTORS, NATHAN WADE, STEPPED DOWN. WHAT TRIGGERED ALL THIS WITH REVELATIONS THAT WADE AND WILLIS HAD A ROMANTIC RELATIONSHIP? JUST DAYS AGO, WADE TOLD ABC LOT PRIME ANCHOR LINSEY DAVIS IN AN EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW THAT HE DID NOT FEEL CASE WAS IN JEOPARDY. >> SO YOU SAID YOU DIDN’T TO VIOLATE THE PUBLIC’S TRUST. I’M CURIOUS, DO YOU THINK THAT YOU’VE DONE ANY KIND OF TO THIS CASE? NONE AT ALL. NOT AT ALL. EVEN THE PUBLIC PERCEPTION OF IT, MY PRIVATE LIFE BECAME THE FOCAL POINT OF THE CASE. MY PRIVATE LIFE HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE MERITS OF THAT PROSECUTION. SO LET’S BRING IN ABC NEWS SENIOR INVESTIGATIVE CORRESPONDENT AARON KATERSKY AND ABC NEWS CONTRIBUTOR AND FORMER GEORGIA PROSECUTOR TIMMONS ON THIS. SO, ERIN, FULTON COUNTY D.A.’S OFFICE, THEY DIDN’T TO ABC NEWS ON ALL OF THIS. BUT WHAT DO WE KNOW ABOUT THIS ORDER, THE APPEALS COURT? >> WHAT DOES IT DO TO THIS CASE? IT TOOK JUST ONE JUDGE ON THAT INTERMEDIATE APPEALS COURT IN GEORGIA, TERRY, TO LIKELY DELAY THIS TRIAL WELL PAST THE NOVEMBER ELECTION. TRUMP’S TEAM SAYS LOOKING FORWARD NOW TO PRESENTING ITS ARGUMENT THAT, FANI WILLIS SHOULD BE REMOVED, EVEN THOUGH TRIAL JUDGE SCOTT MCAFEE SAID HER RELATIONSHIP, HER ROMANTIC RELATIONSHIP WITH NATHAN WADE WAS NOT ENOUGH TO POSE AN ACTUAL CONFLICT INTEREST. THAT WAS THE STANDARD. THE JUDGE SAID THE TWO OF THEM SHOWED SOME BAD JUDGMENT, BUT IT DID NOT REPRESENT A CONFLICT SUCH THAT IT NEEDED TO HAVE WILLIS REMOVED AS LONG AS NATHAN WADE WENT, WHICH HE DID. SO NOW IT COULD TAKE WEEKS, IF NOT MONTHS, JUST TO SCHEDULE THE APPEAL. THE MACHINATIONS OF THE OF THE CASE CAN CONTINUE IN ALL LIKELIHOOD. TERRY, THIS WILL NOT SEE A TRIAL BEFORE NOVEMBER. >> RIGHT. SO THAT’S AN IMPORTANT DEVELOPMENT. CHRISTOPHER. SO, YOU KNOW, THE JUDGE IN THIS CASE, HE HEARD THE TESTIMONY. MOST OF THE NATION SAW IT AND DECIDED AT THE END OF THE DAY THAT IT WASN’T ENOUGH. THE FACTS AS THEY WERE PRESENTED TO HIM, EVEN THOUGH HE CALLED, THERE WAS AN ODOR OF MENDACITY AROUND SOME OF THE TESTIMONY. HE SAID IT WASN’T ENOUGH TO DISQUALIFY WHAT AN APPEALS COURT REVIEW IN THAT WHAT WHAT’S THEIR JOB AFTER THE TRIAL COURT HEARS THE FACTS AND SO APPLIES THE LAW AND SAYS THERE’S NO DISQUALIFICATION. >> SO THEY’RE REALLY THEY ARE LOOKING AT JUST THE LAW, TERRY. I MEAN, THEY’RE GOING TO HAVE TO TAKE THE FACTS AS THEY CAME TO THEM FROM JUDGE MCCARTHY. HE’S THE GUY THAT’S CALLING AND STRIKES AND HE’S THERE THE COURTROOM TO ASSESS CREDIBILITY IN REAL TIME. THE COURT OF APPEALS DOESN’T GET DO THAT, BUT THEY’RE GOING TO TAKE THE FACTS THAT THEY FOUND OUT FROM JUDGE SCOTT MCCARTHY AND. THEY’RE GOING TO MAKE A DECISION. DID HE, KNOWING THOSE FACTS, MAKE THE RIGHT DECISION, THE LAW, SHOULD HE HAVE DISQUALIFIED FANI WILLIS COMPLETELY FROM THE CASE AND NOT WITH FINDING WILLIS, BUT ALSO HER ENTIRE OFFICE? THAT IS A BIG QUESTION. WE’RE GOING TO BE TALKING ABOUT IT MORE WITH YOU AND CHRIS. AARON, THANKS VERY MUCH FOR THAT. WE WANT TO GO OVERSEAS NOW TO THE LATEST IN THE MIDDLE EAST. THE UNITED STATES HAS PAUSED AN ARMS SHIPMENTS TO ISRAEL. SECRETARY OF DEFENSE LLOYD AUSTIN, THAT DECISION DURING A SENATE HEARING EARLIER TODAY . AUSTIN WARNED THAT A MAJOR ISRAELI OPERATION AGAINST THE CITY OF RAFAH IN SOUTHERN GAZA, WHERE THOUSANDS OF PALESTINIANS ARE SHELTERING ,COULD CHANGE AMERICA’S CALCULUS ON SECURITY TO ISRAEL, BUT INSISTED THAT AMERICA’S COMMITMENT, ISRAEL REMAINS, QUOTE, IRONCLAD. >> AND WE’RE GOING TO CONTINUE TO DO WHAT’S NECESSARY TO ENSURE THAT ISRAEL HAS THE TO DEFEND ITSELF. BUT THAT SAID, WE ARE REVIEWING SOME NEAR TERM SECURITY ASSISTANCE SHIPMENTS IN THE CONTEXT OF UNFOLDING EVENTS IN RAFAH. >> AUSTIN ALSO SAID THE U.S. BEEN CLEAR ON ISRAEL PRIORITIZING THE PROTECTION OF PALESTINIAN CIVILIANS BEFORE ANY MAJOR COMBAT IN RAFAH CAPITAL. POLICE DID ARREST ONE PERSON DURING WASHINGTON’S TESTIMONY EARLIER AND SEVERAL, AS YOU SEE THERE, PRO-PALESTINIAN PROTESTERS. THEY RAISED THEIR HANDS, WHICH WERE DYED RED TO BRING ATTENTION THE ONGOING WAR THAT IS GOING TO FOLLOW THIS ADMINISTRATION AND THE PRESIDENT THROUGH THE ELECTION, NO QUESTION. MEANWHILE, ON THE GROUND IN GAZA SAYS IT REOPENED A KEY CROSSING AFTER A ROCKET ATTACK THERE. BUT THE UNITED NATIONS SAYS NO AID HAS YET ENTERED THROUGH THAT GATE. AND THE WORLD HEALTH ORGANIZATION REPORTS THAT ONE OF THE THREE HOSPITAL IS IN RAFAH IS NO LONGER FUNCTIONING. THE OTHER TWO MAY STOP TREATING CIVILIANS VERY SOON AS THEY’RE RUNNING OUT OF FUEL. SO LET’S BRING IN ABC NEWS SENIOR WHITE HOUSE CORRESPONDENT SELINA WANG ON THIS SELINA. SECRETARY AUSTIN FOR THE FIRST TIME. HI. ADMINISTRATION OFFICIAL CONFIRMING U.S. IS PAUSING SOME OF THE MUNITIONS THAT THEY’RE SENDING ISRAEL. >> WHAT’S GOING ON HERE? YEAH, TERRY, THIS IS A REALLY BIG DEAL. AND I WAS JUST SPEAKING TO A U.S. OFFICIAL WHO SAID THAT THIS IS ALL ABOUT SENDING THAT MESSAGE TO ISRAEL NOT TO LAUNCH A MAJOR INVASION INTO RAFAH. THIS IS WHERE MORE THAN A MILLION CIVILIANS ARE SHELTERING AND THEY ESSENTIALLY HAVE NOWHERE ELSE TO GO. AND THE PAUSE OF THE SHIPMENT WE’RE TALKING IT SPECIFICALLY FOR SPECIFIC TYPES OF BOMBS, INCLUDING THESE TWIN POUND BOMBS, AND THEY’RE VERY FEARFUL ABOUT THE DEATH AND DESTRUCTION IT COULD CAUSE IN A HIGHLY DENSE AREA LIKE IN RAFAH. AND IS REALLY THE FIRST TIME, TERRY, THAT WE’VE SEEN THE PRESIDENT WILLING TO USE THE MASSIVE AID THAT THE US PROVIDES TO ISRAEL AS LEVERAGE. WE’VE HEARD WORDS BEFORE, BUT THE FIRST TIME WE’RE SEEING IT ACTUALLY USE THAT AND PUT THIS INTO ACTION. AND ANOTHER EXAMPLE OF THAT GROWING RIFT, THE U.S. AND ISRAEL. >> RIGHT. THEY WANT TO TALK ABOUT THAT, THOSE £2,000 BOMBS. IT’S VERY HARD TO MAKE THE USE OF THAT PRECISE. THAT’S GOING TO BLOW UP A VERY LARGE AREA. BUT LET ME ASK ABOUT WHAT YOU WERE JUST TALKING ABOUT. WHAT DOES THIS SAY ABOUT THE PRESSURES ON PRESIDENT? BUT EVEN MORE DEEPLY, THIS DISTANCE THAT IS OPENING UP BETWEEN ISRAEL AND REALLY ITS MOST IMPORTANT ALLY IN THE WORLD, THE UNITED STATES? YEAH, WELL, THE GROWING FRUSTRATION, FRUSTRATION WE’VE SEEN FROM PRESIDENT BIDEN TOWARDS NETANYAHU, THAT IS NO SECRET. AND WE’VE REALLY SEEN THAT KIND COME TO THE FORE AND OPEN UP INTO THE PUBLIC. >> AND THE U.S. IS TRYING TO DO TWO THINGS AT THE SAME TIME. THEY WANT TO EMPHASIZE TO THE WORLD AND TO ISRAEL’S ENEMIES THAT U.S. SUPPORT FOR ISRAEL’S SECURITY IRONCLAD. IMPORTANT TO MENTION THAT THIS PAUSE IN SHIPMENTS HAS TO DO WITH THE BILLIONS OF DOLLARS IN AID THAT CONGRESS JUST PASSED AND THE RECENTLY SIGNED. THIS IS SEPARATE FROM THAT. ON THE OTHER HAND, THIS TRYING TO SEND A STRONG WARNING SHOT TO NETANYAHU THAT, LOOK, WE PAUSE SHIPMENTS NOW AND WE COULD CONTINUE TO PAUSE SHIPMENTS MOVING IF YOU DON’T DO MORE TO PROTECT CIVILIANS IN GAZA. AND OF AN EXTREMELY DELICATE POSITION FOR PRESIDENT BIDEN AS HE FACES PRESSURE FROM ALL SIDES, REPUBLICANS ALREADY SLAMMING HIM FOR THIS MOVE. >> AND THEN PROGRESSIVE DEMOCRATS SAY THIS IS ALL TOO LITTLE, TOO LATE, UNDER INTENSE PRESSURE. AND REALLY, NOTHING’S YET THAT WAR RAGES ON. >> SELINA, THANK YOU VERY MUCH . WELL, UKRAINIAN OFFICIALS WILL GO OVER TO THAT. RIGHT NOW, THEY ARE SAYING THAT ENERGY FACILITIES IN SIX REGIONS OF THAT COUNTRY WERE BOMBARDED EARLIER TODAY. A RUSSIAN AIR ATTACK, THE HOURS LONG STRIKE ALLEGEDLY INCLUDED AT LEAST 21 DRONES AND 55 MISSILES. UKRAINE’S FORCE SAYS ITS ANTI AIRCRAFT DEFENSE IS DOWN NEARLY 60 OF THOSE PROJECTILES. CREWS ARE WORKING TO RESTORE THE ENERGY AND ELECTRICITY PLANTS THAT WERE DAMAGED IN THAT ATTACK. AND THIS IS REALLY JUST THE LATEST RUSSIAN STRIKE ON UKRAINIAN INFRASTRUCTURE SINCE THE WAR BEGAN. AND IT HAS TAKEN A TREMENDOUS TOLL IN THAT COUNTRY. SO BACK IN GEORGIA, A GRAND JURY HAS INDICTED THE SUSPECT WHO IS ACCUSED OF KILLING 22-YEAR-OLD LINCOLN RILEY, 26-YEAR-OLD JOSE IBARRA HAS BEEN INDICTED ON TEN COUNTS RELATED TO THIS KILLING, INCLUDING MALICE AND FELONY MURDER. HE ALLEGEDLY KILLED RILEY BY STRIKING HER, HAD, QUOTE, MULTIPLE TIMES WITH A ROCK ON THE UNIVERSITY OF GEORGIA CAMPUS. RILEY WAS A NURSING STUDENT AT AUGUSTA UNIVERSITY. SHE WENT FOR A JOG BACK IN FEBRUARY AND WAS LATER FOUND DEAD IN A WOODED AREA AFTER DID NOT RETURN WHERE TO TAKE A BREAK. COMING UP, HUNDREDS OF PROTESTERS WERE ARRESTED OVERNIGHT AND TODAY, UNIVERSITIES CONTINUE TO BRING IN LAW ENFORCEMENT TO REMOVE THOSE ENCAMPMENTS.

I WAS THE GUY MADE IT HAPPEN. >> DO YOU THINK THAT YOU WOULD TAKE BACK SOME OF THE WHEN YOU LOOK BACK ON DANCE MOMS BEING, THE CURTAINS, THIS IS "IMPACT X NIGHTLINE" NOW STREAMING ON HULU. >> AND NOW TO THE PROTESTS THAT HAVE AT DOZENS OF COLLEGES ACROSS THE UNITED STATES. THE GEORGE WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY RIGHT HERE IN WASHINGTON, D.C. REMOVED A PROPOSAL EXTENDING AN ENCAMPMENT FROM CAMPUS. METRO D.C. POLICE ARRESTED 33 PEOPLE IN THAT MOVE. MEANWHILE, POLICE IN NEW YORK CITY WERE CALLED TO CLEAR OUT AN ENCAMPMENT AT THE FASHION OF TECHNOLOGY. >> THAT’S A MAJOR CENTER OF ON THAT SUBJECT THERE. SOME OF THOSE ARRESTED HAD PARTICIPATED IN A RALLY NEARBY AND THEN THEY MADE THEIR WAY TO FIGHT. LET’S BRING IN ABC’S PHILIP WITH THE LATEST DEVELOPMENTS OF PHIL AND AT GW HERE IN WASHINGTON D.C. TENSIONS HAD GROWN IN RECENT DAYS AFTER POLICE REMOVED LARGE PALESTINIAN FLAG THAT DEMONSTRATORS HAD RAISED ABOVE A CAMPUS. SO WHAT FINALLY CAUSED A SCHOOL WHICH HAD KIND OF BEEN PATIENT WITH ALL THIS TO BRING IN THE LAW ENFORCEMENT? >> WELL, YOU POINTED OUT THE SCHOOL HAD BEEN PATIENT. THE PRESIDENT WAS NOT HAPPY WITH THE ENCAMPMENT, SAID IT WAS UNAUTHORIZED. IT WAS JUST ORIGINALLY ON THE GREEN THERE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE CAMPUS. BUT THEN ANOTHER ENCAMPMENT GREW ACROSS THE STREET, ACROSS THEM BARRICADES. >> THEY THEN REMOVED THE BARRICADES AND PUT IT TOGETHER. AND IT WAS JUST GETTING UNTENABLE. OTHER KIDS ON CAMPUS WERE FEELING THREATENED BY IT, AS THEY REPORTED AND SO EARLY THIS MORNING, D.C. POLICE WENT IN AND CLEARED IT OUT, AS YOU TALKED ABOUT, ABOUT 33 PEOPLE WERE ARRESTED. >> WHAT’S INTERESTING, TERRY, THOUGH, IS THAT WAS JUST A FEW HOURS BEFORE THE MAYOR THERE IN D.C., MAYOR BOWSER, HER POLICE CHIEF, WERE SUPPOSED TO GO BEFORE A CONGRESSIONAL COMMITTEE TO TALK ABOUT WHY THIS HADN’T BEEN DEALT WITH. >> AND PHIL, YOU KNOW, YOU’VE COVERING THIS. SO WE’VE GOT MANY, MANY UNIVERSITY SCORES PROBABLY INVOLVED IN THIS DANCE WITH STUDENTS TO RESPECT THE FREE, FREE SPEECH RIGHTS AND SUPPORT WHAT THEY’RE DOING, RESPECT THEIR PASSION FOR ALL OF THIS. AND YET GRADUATION IS COMING UP. SOME SCHOOLS HAVE ALREADY CANCELED COMMENCEMENT EXERCISE SIZES. >> SO REALLY, WHERE DOES THIS GO FROM HERE? WELL, IT LOOKS LIKE IT’S GOING TO CONTINUE. >> THE PROTESTERS WE’VE SPOKEN TO SAY THEY’RE GOING TO CONTINUE MAYBE NOT NECESSARILY IN ENCAMPMENTS ON COLLEGE CAMPUSES WHERE THEY’VE BEEN REMOVED, BUT THEY’RE GOING TO CONTINUE PROTESTING UNTIL THERE IS A CEASE FIRE. AS FOR THE GRADUATIONS, WE’VE SEEN A LITTLE BIT OF EVERYTHING. SOME GRADUATIONS WERE DISRUPTED MOMENTARILY BY PRO-PALESTINIAN PROTESTERS. OTHER SCHOOLS DECIDED TO CANCEL THEIR SCHOOL WIDE, WIDE GRADUATIONS. AND JUST HAVE YOU GRADUATE WITHIN YOUR INDIVIDUAL COLLEGE ,WHETHER IT’S ENGINEERING OR EDUCATION OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT. BUT KEEP THIS IN MIND, TERRY THIS IS THE CLASS OF 2020. THESE ARE THE KIDS WHO A LOT OF THEM DIDN’T GET THEIR IN 2020. I REMEMBER MY DAUGHTERS IN THIS CLASS AND WE DID DRIVE BY HER HIGH SCHOOL FOR HER GRADUATION. SO THESE KIDS REALLY, WE’RE LOOKING FORWARD TO A GRADUATION. >> SO IT’S THAT CLASS AS WELL. YEAH, THEY’RE JUST THEY THEY DO NOT HAVE THE LUCK. LET’S HOPE THINGS SETTLE FOR AND IN THE RIGHT WAY. >> ALL RIGHT, BILL, THANKS VERY MUCH FOR THAT. SO WE HAVE SOME BREAKING NEWS RIGHT NOW HERE IN WASHINGTON, D.C. FROM CAPITOL HILL, CONGRESSWOMAN MARJORIE GREENE, REPUBLICAN OF GEORGIA, HAS GOING TO FILE APPARENTLY MOTION TO VACATE, MEANING KICK OUT THE OF THE HOUSE MIKE JOHNSON. SHE’S APPARENTLY FORCING A VOTE THE FLOOR. WE’RE GOING TO GO TO OUR ABC’S JAY O’BRIEN WHO KNOWS ALL THINGS WHAT’S GOING ON THERE? >> YEAH, TERRY, SHE IS ON THE FLOOR NOW TRIGGERING THAT MOTION TO OUST MIKE JOHNSON. REMEMBER, IN LATE MARCH, MARCH 22ND, MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE FILED. THIS MOTION CALLED THE MOTION TO VACATE. BUT SHE DIDN’T DO IT IN THE PROCEDURAL WAY THAT WOULD GUARANTEE IT A VOTE. INSTEAD, FOR MORE THAN A MONTH, SHE HELD THE POSSIBILITY OF CALLING FOR A VOTE TO OUST THE SPEAKER OVER THE SPEAKER’S HEAD. THEY HAD NEGOTIATED OVER THE LAST FEW DAYS ABOUT SOME POINTS THAT GREENE WANTED DONE ,ABOUT WHAT SOME CONSERVATIVE PRIORITIES THAT SHE HAD AND NEGOTIATIONS OBVIOUSLY APPEAR TO HAVE COMPLETELY UPENDED, IF NOT STALLED OUT, BECAUSE NOW SHE IS ON THE FLOOR SAYING SHE IS GOING TO FORCE A VOTE ON REMOVING MIKE JOHNSON AS THE SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE. NOW, PROCEDURALLY, WHAT HAS TO HAPPEN HERE IS THAT VOTE HAS TO OCCUR WITHIN TWO LEGISLATIVE DAYS. >> THIS IS THE LAST DAY OF WEEK THAT THE HOUSE IS IN. THEY RETURN NEXT WEEK. SO COULD BE A VOTE ON JOHNSON’S FUTURE NEXT WEEK OR PROCEDURAL THEY COULD CALL THIS TO A VOTE AS EARLY AS TONIGHT. THAT SOMETHING THAT I’VE TALKED TO REPUBLICAN SOURCES WHEN THIS WAS JUST A POSSIBILITY THAT GREENE WOULD DO THIS THAT THEY MIGHT WANT TO DO. REPUBLICAN SOURCES HAVE TOLD THEY MIGHT WANT TO DO AWAY WITH THIS QUICKLY BECAUSE. >> THEY HAVE THE VOTES TO SAVE. JOHNSON DEMOCRATIC LEADERSHIP SAID THAT THEY WILL VOTE TO TABLE GREENE’S MOTION PROCEDURALLY, PUSH IT ASIDE AND VOTE WITH REPUBLICANS. THE VAST MAJORITY OF REPUBLICANS TO PUSH THAT MOST INSIDE AND THUS SAVE . >> IT’S UNCLEAR HOW MANY VOTES GREENE WOULD GET NOT TO TABLE HER MOTION, INSTEAD TO PROCEED WITH A VOTE ON OUSTING JOHNSON. >> WE KNOW SHE’S GOT AT LEAST TWO OTHER HARD LINE REPUBLICAN LAWMAKERS EXCUSE ME. THERE WAS SOME COMMOTION HERE. YOU KNOW THAT SHE’S GOT AT LEAST TWO OTHER REPUBLICAN LAWMAKERS WHO HAVE SIGNED ON TO THIS EFFORT. IT’S PAUL GOSAR AND THOMAS MASSIE. >> BUT WHAT HER RANKS LOOK LIKE BEYOND THAT, WE JUST DON’T KNOW. >> ALL RIGHT, JAY O’BRIEN ON CAPITOL HILL, THANK YOU FOR THAT. WE’RE GOING TO MONITOR THIS CLOSELY, SEE WHAT HAPPENS TO THE SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE. YOU’VE PROBABLY SEEN THAT MOVIE BEFORE OVER THE COURSE OF LAST FEW MONTHS.

IT’S BEEN NINE MONTHS SINCE WILDFIRES DESTROYED PARTS OF MAUI, HAWAII. THAT COMMUNITY IS WORKING TO BUILD BACK STRONGER EVER, EVEN AS IT GRIEVES WHAT WAS REALLY A DEVASTATING, TRAGIC IF YOU CAN BELIEVE, THE PICTURES TO THIS DAY. MAUI FACES A MAJOR HOUSING SHORTAGE NOW AS THE COMMUNITY TRIES TO REBUILD. THERE ARE OFTEN DELAYS, INCLUDING FOR CONSTRUCTION PERMITS. THE FIRES NOT ONLY TOOK A TOLL PHYSICALLY, MENTALLY, AS MANY OF THE DISPLACED LOST THEIR HOMES AND EVERYTHING THEY HAD. ABC’S MIREYA VILLARREAL JOINS US FROM MAUI AS WE THAT MAY IS MENTAL HEALTH AWARENESS MONTH. SO YOU’VE DONE A LOT OF WORK ON THIS OVER THESE MONTHS. TELL US WHAT YOU’RE SEEING NOW AS YOU LISTEN AND YOU’RE THERE NOW NINE MONTHS LATER. YOU KNOW, TERRY, LISTEN THROUGH THE MAUI 808 INITIATIVE THAT WE HAVE HERE AT ABC, WE’VE BEEN ABLE TO KEEP IN CONTACT WITH A LOT OF THE PEOPLE THAT HAVE LOST SO MUCH HERE. AND ONE OF THE THINGS WE’VE HEARD FROM THEM IS AS THE DEBRIS STARTS TO CLEAR, THERE IS, THIS NEED AND DESIRE TO OBVIOUSLY START REBUILDING VERY QUICKLY. BUT UNFORTUNATELY JUST CAN’T HAPPEN RIGHT NOW. A LOT OF THE PERMITTING IS KIND OF CAUGHT IN THE PROCESS BECAUSE NOT EVERYBODY’S PROPERTIES HAVE CLEARED OUT. THAT BASICALLY MEANS THAT PEOPLE DON’T HAVE PERMANENT FOR HOUSING HERE. I MEAN, THIS IS A VERY BASIC NEED. AND WHEN YOU HAVE THAT HAPPEN IN A HOUSEHOLD, THERE IS STRESS AND ANXIETY THAT COMES ALONG WITH IT. WE’VE SEEN A LOT OF MENTAL HEALTH ISSUES START TO ARISE HERE. A LOT OF CONCERN OVER SUICIDE RISING HERE, CASES AS WELL. SO I THINK, YOU KNOW, AS OF RIGHT NOW, A LOT OF EXPERTS ON THE ISLAND ARE JUST TRYING TO MEET PEOPLE WHERE THEY ARE. ABSOLUTELY.

AND IN OUR SPOTLIGHT, THE U.S. PAUSES. A WEAPONS SHIPMENT ISRAEL. OUR PANEL WEIGHS IN ON THE CONCERNS OF THE EXPECTED ISRAELI FORCE INVASION OF RAFAH IN SOUTHERN GAZA. >> THIS IS NOT ABOUT PARENTS WHO JUST LET THEIR KID WATCH VIOLENT MOVIES OR PLAY VIOLENT VIDEO GAMES. THIS IS ABOUT PARENTS WHO COLLECTED THEIR SON, IGNORED HIS CRIES FOR HELP AND THEN BOUGHT HIM A GUN. THE FIRST PARENTS IN AMERICA TO BE CHARGED IN A SCHOOL SHOOTING. >> INVOLUNTARY MANSLAUGHTER CHARGES AGAINST THE PARENTS OF THE SHOOTER AT OXFORD HIGH SCHOOL WHO KILLED FOUR STUDENTS AND WOUNDED OTHERS. THERE’S A MYTH THAT THE SHOOTER JUST SNAPS. IT’S JUST NOT TRUE. THERE ARE ALWAYS SIGNS HE WAS CRYING FOR HELP AND BEING IGNORED. HE HAD PICTURES OF A TARGET ON HIS BEDROOM WALL. SHELL CASINGS ON HIS NIGHTSTAND. THE VERY TOXIC TURBULENT THOSE PEOPLE ARE. YIKES. THE LENGTHS THEY WAS JUST CRAZY. THE SEXTING AND THE REALLY TERRIBLE THINGS. THAT VIDEO OF THEIR ACT. THEY PURCHASED THAT GUN FOR HIM WITH HIS MONEY AND BRAGGED ABOUT IT. >> THEY’RE BEING TOLD BY A SCHOOL COUNSELOR THAT HE THINKS THEIR SON IS GOING TO KILL HIMSELF. AND THEY KNEW NOTHING. AS SOON AS I HEARD THEY WERE CALLED TO THE SCHOOL THAT DAY, THE MESSAGES ABOUT ELLA. WELL, DON’T GET CAUGHT. THOSE WERE VERY CONCERNING TO ME. THAT’S THE MOMENT THAT NO JURY IS GOING TO THINK WHAT HAPPENED. WE ALL BEEN THERE. HERE’S WHAT IT IS. I GOT IT. IT’S NOT JUST ABOUT HIM HAVING THAT. THERE WAS NO SHOCK. ZERO ZERO. SCHOOLS AREN’T CREATED AND IT’S MADE OVER TIME. YOU DON’T GET TO WALK AWAY FROM THAT. YOU JUST DON’T. THAT’S A CRIMINAL ACT. SINS OF THE PARENTS, THE CRUMBLEY. THE OPPOSITE OF LOVE IS NOT HATE.

I FEEL LIKE I HAVE TROUBLE JUST TALKING ABOUT IT IN GENERAL. I’M NOT THE BAD. >> I WAS THE GUY THAT MADE IT HAPPEN. DO YOU THINK THAT YOU WOULD TAKE SOME OF THE HARSHNESS WHEN YOU LOOK BACK ON DANCE BEHIND THE CURTAIN? THIS IS "IMPACT X NIGHTLINE" NOW STREAMING ON HULU FROM THE TEAM THAT BROUGHT YOU THE AWARD WINNING REPORT. A GROUNDBREAKING NEW INVESTIGATION SPANNING 9000 MILES TRASHED THE SECRET OF EXOTIC EXPORTS STREAMED FREE ON HULU. >> HI, I’M MANDY. AND I’M SABRINA AND WE’RE MOMS JUGGLING TONS OF STUFF EVERY DAY. LIKE ALL YOU MOMS OUT THERE. >> AND YOU KNOW WHAT WE LOVE? REALLY LOVE POP CULTURE. SO NOW TO OUR NEW PODCAST, POP CULTURE MOMS. WHEREVER YOU GET YOUR PODCASTS . THE TIMELINE IS POTENTIALLY SHIFTING YET AGAIN IN ONE OF DONALD TRUMP’S HIGH PROFILE LEGAL CASES. I’M TERRY MORAN IN WASHINGTON. AND TODAY’S BIG STORY, TRUMP’S LEGAL TEAM GETTING ANOTHER SHOT TO PUSH AND REMOVE FANI WILLIS FROM THE GEORGIA ELECTION CASE AGAINST TRUMP. I’LL SPEAK WITH FORMER GEORGIA PROSECUTOR ABOUT THIS APPEALS COURT DECISION TO REVIEW THE RULING THAT ALLOWED WILLIS TO STAY ON THE CASE IN THE FIRST PLACE. AND OUR SPOTLIGHT, THE U.S. PAUSES. A WEAPONS SHIPMENT TO ISRAEL. OUR PANEL WEIGHS IN ON THE CONCERNS OVER THE EXPECTED IDF OF RAFAH IN SOUTHERN GAZA. WELL, A GEORGIA APPEALS HAS AGREED TO REVIEW THE RULING THAT ALLOWED DISTRICT ATTORNEY FANI WILLIS IN FULTON COUNTY, GEORGIA, TO STAY ON THAT STATE’S ELECTION INTERFERENCE CASE AGAINST DONALD TRUMP AND 18 CO-DEFENDANTS. >> THIS COULD SIGNIFICANTLY PUSH BACK THE TIMELINE FOR A TRIAL. TRUMP’S ATTORNEY, IN A STATEMENT TO ABC, SAYS THE FORMER PRESIDENT LOOKS FORWARD TO ARGUING FOR WILLIS’S REMOVAL AND FOR THE CASE’S DISMISSAL AS WELL. THIS COMES AFTER JUDGE SCOTT MCAFEE, WHO IS OVERSEEING THIS TRIAL, AGREED TO ALLOW FANI WILLIS TO REMAIN AS ONE OF THE PROSECUTORS AS LONG AS ONE OF HER TOP PROSECUTORS. >> WADE STEPPED DOWN. THIS ALL CAME IN RESPONSE TO REVELATIONS THAT THOSE TWO HAD HAD AN AFFAIR. JUST DAYS AGO, WADE TOLD NEWS LIVE PRIME ANCHOR LINSEY DAVIS IN AN EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW THAT HE DOES NOT FEEL THIS CASE IS IN JEOPARDY. >> SO YOU SAID YOU DIDN’T WANT TO VIOLATE THE PUBLIC’S TRUST. I’M CURIOUS. DO YOU THINK THAT YOU’VE DONE ANY KIND OF DAMAGE TO THIS CASE? NONE AT ALL. NONE AT ALL. EVEN THE PUBLIC PERCEPTION OF IT, MY PRIVATE LIFE BECAME THE FOCAL OF THE CASE. MY PRIVATE LIFE HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE MERITS OF THAT PROSECUTION. WHILE ALL THIS COMES JUST ONE DAY AFTER THE FEDERAL JUDGE THAT’S A FEDERAL JUDGE OVERSEEING THAT CLASSIFIED DOCUMENTS CASE AGAINST TRUMP IN FLORIDA, A TRUMP APPOINTEE, EILEEN CANNON. JUDGE EILEEN CANNON, SHE POSTPONED THAT CASE INDEFINITELY UNTIL THE RESOLUTION OF ALL THE RELATED LEGAL MATTERS HAVING TO DO WITH CLASSIFIED INFORMATION. THAT CASE. FOR MORE, LET’S BRING IN ABC NEWS CONTRIBUTOR AND FORMER GEORGIA CHRIS TIM. >> SO CHRIS YOU KNOW IS NATHAN WADE RIGHT THAT NOTHING THAT HAPPENED IN THAT NATIONAL SOAP OPERA HIS RELATIONSHIP WITH FANI WILLIS AND THE JUDGE TRYING TO GET TO THE BOTTOM OF IT THAT THAT’S NOT GOING TO THREATEN THIS CASE THIS CASE GOING TO BE OKAY. >> NO, IT’S A HUGE PROBLEM. MEAN I THINK, TERRY, ONE OF THE THINGS YOU’VE GOT TO REALIZE IS THAT BY THE COURT OF APPEALS TODAY, ACCEPTING THE CASE FOR AN APPEAL, ALLOWING AN, INTERLOCUTORY OR KIND OF A AMID CASE APPEAL, THEY JUST SET THE CLOCK BACK BY SIX MONTHS AT THE VERY LEAST. NOW, IF WE GET TO SIX MONTHS, WE’RE GETTING TO NOVEMBER. AND I TALKED TO A COUPLE OF CONSTITUTIONAL LAW PROFESSORS TODAY. THEY INDICATED THAT THERE’S NO WAY THAT GEORGIA CAN LEGALLY TRY PRESIDENT TRUMP IF HE WAS REELECTED, TO ADD A SITTING PRESIDENT IN JANUARY. SO IT’S POSSIBLY A DEATH. AND THAT’S ALL OF NATHAN WADE’S FAULT, BECAUSE IF HE HADN’T ENGAGED IN THIS IMPROPER RELATIONSHIP, WE WOULDN’T HAVE THIS SIX MONTH LAYOFF OR AT THIS POINT, WE’VE HAD THIS THIS ISSUE HANGING OVER THE CASE SINCE JANUARY. SO, RESPECTFULLY, WITH REGARD TO THE MERITS OF THE CASE, HE’S RIGHT. DIDN’T AFFECT THE MERITS OF THE CASE. BUT IN TERMS OF THE OVERALL HEALTH OF THE CASE AND AS IT’S PROCEEDING, HE’S CREATED A MASSIVE DELAY. >> GOT IT. OKAY. THAT’S A GOOD DISTINCTION. BUT LET ME ASK WHAT THE APPEALS COURT IS GOING TO DO HERE. WHAT’S THE STANDARD FOR THEM TO TO SAY NO? >> THE TRIAL COURT’S AND UNDER GEORGIA LAW, WHATEVER THE APPEARANCE OF IMPROPRIETY, THE CONFLICT OF INTEREST OR WHATEVER THEY MIGHT BE, THE JUDGE CALLED IT ODOR OF MENDACITY THAT CAME OUT OF THESE WITNESSES IN HIS HEARING. >> WHAT IS IT THAT THE APPEALS COURT WILL BE LOOKING FOR TO SEE IF THEY SHOULD KICK HER OFF THE CASE? >> SO, TERRY, I’M FOR MUSICIANS TO BE A MEMBER OF MY BAND, WHICH WILL BE CALLED OF MENDACITY. BUT THAT SAID, WHAT THEY’RE GOING TO BE LOOKING AT AND THIS PARTICULAR CASE, THEY’RE GOING TO BE LOOKING AT TWO ISSUES. THEY’RE GOING TO BE LOOKING AT THE CONFLICT OF INTEREST ISSUE. THEY’RE ALSO GOING TO BE LOOKING AT WHAT THEY REFERRED TO AS, THE FORENSIC MISCONDUCT ISSUE, THE CONFLICT OF INTEREST ISSUES. PRETTY CLEAR THEY’RE TO BE MAKING A DECISION ON WHETHER MCCARTHY, WHEN HE SAID, YOU KNOW, IN APPEARANCE IS ENOUGH OR AT LEAST DIDN’T FIND AN APPEARANCE HERE OR WHETHER HE WAS CORRECT ON. THE OTHER THING THEY’RE LOOKING AT IS WHETHER THOSE COMMENTS THAT FANI WILLIS MADE TO THE CHURCH, I GUESS, BACK IN JANUARY, WHETHER THAT WAS TO GET HER OFF THE CASE BECAUSE IT CREATED SOME SORT OF CLOUD OVER THE DEFENDANT’S ODOR OF MENDACITY ASIDE, WE DON’T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT AN ODOR OF MENDACITY IN THE COURT OF APPEALS, BUT WE DO HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT THOSE TWO LEGAL ISSUES AND THEM TAKING A LOOK AT IT. >> AND WE HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT YOUR BAND HITTING THE ROAD WITH WITH THAT NAME AND BUT DOESN’T MEAN GET SERIOUS ONCE AGAIN AND ASK YOU IN THIS CASE AND OTHERS THE TIMELINE IS SO IMPORTANT TO SO MANY PEOPLE. PEOPLE ARE REALLY EAGER TO SEE DONALD TRUMP TRIED AND CONVICTED BEFORE THE ELECTION ARE TRIED AND ACQUITTED, WHATEVER. BUT SHOULD A JUDGE, SHOULD ANY JUDGE, SHOULD ANY COURT OF APPEALS, SHOULD THE SUPREME COURT CARE ABOUT THE PARTISAN POLITICAL INTERESTS AND WHAT TIMETABLE SHOULD BE GOING FORWARD IN THESE CASES, WHETHER IT’S THE REPUBLICAN PREFERENCE IN THE DEMOCRATIC? YES, IT’S A TOUGH QUESTION. I MEAN, BECAUSE YOU’RE THINKING ON THE ONE HAND, YOU KNOW, THIS DONALD TRUMP’S A DEFENDANT. HE SHOULD BE TREATED LIKE EVERY OTHER DEFENDANT IN THE CRIMINAL JUSTICE SYSTEM. HE SHOULDN’T BE GIVING PREFERENCE. HE SHOULDN’T LOSE ANY SORT OF STATUS BEYOND HIS CASE, SHOULD PROCEED AS IT NORMALLY WOULD. BUT AT THE SAME TIME, I MEAN, THIS IS YOU KNOW, THESE ARE THE MOST IMPORTANT CASES THAT ARE OCCURRING RIGHT NOW IN OUR COUNTRY. THEY COULD AFFECT WHO THE LEADER OF THE FREE WORLD IS. SO YOU EXPECT A LITTLE BIT SPECIAL TREATMENT THERE. I WAS A LITTLE SURPRISED THAT THE COURT OF APPEALS DECIDED TO TAKE THIS CASE. I THOUGHT THAT THE ISSUES LOOK PRETTY CLEAR THAT JUDGE MCCARTHY RULING WAS NOT CLEAR ERROR. IT WOULDN’T BE SOMETHING THAT NEEDED TO BE OVERTURNED. BUT AT THE SAME TIME, I DON’T WHETHER THE COURT OF APPEALS WILL EXPEDITE THE CASE BECAUSE OF THE IMPORTANCE OF MATTER AT STAKE. >> YEAH, AND CHRIS, IF I COULD JUST RAISE. WELL, WHAT HAPPENED IN COURT IN NEW YORK CITY YESTERDAY WHEN STORMY DANIELS, THE ADULT FILM ACTRESS, TOOK THE WITNESS STAND AND DESCRIBED AND DESCRIBED, I THINK, PRETTY GLEEFULLY IN RATHER LURID DETAIL, HER ENCOUNTER WITH PRESIDENT TRUMP AND TRUMP’S TEAM MOVE FROM MISTRIAL ,SAYING THIS ISN’T RELEVANT TO THE CHARGES WHICH ARE FALSE FALSIFYING BUSINESS RECORDS, A CAMPAIGN FINANCE VIOLATION AND THEY MOVE FOR A MISTRIAL. WHAT DO THINK OF THE JUDGE IN FACT ACKNOWLEDGED HE KIND OF LOST CONTROL OF HIS COURTROOM FOR A WHILE THERE BECAUSE SHE WAS TALKING ABOUT A LOT OF THINGS THAT PROBABLY AREN’T RELEVANT TO ANY THAT. >> DO YOU THINK THAT TRUMP HAS GROUNDS FOR A MISTRIAL OR ON APPEAL. >> I DON’T, TERRY. I MEAN, I THINK FOR IT TO A MISTRIAL, IT’S GOT TO BE SOMETHING THAT, YOU KNOW, TAINTS THE ENTIRE FAIRNESS OF THE ENTIRE PROCEEDING. AND HERE I THINK EVERYBODY KNEW FROM THE BEGINNING THAT WHAT WE WERE TALKING ABOUT HERE WERE HUSH MONEY PAYMENTS TO COVER UP THE FACT OR LEAST THE ALLEGATION ANY WAY THAT STORMY DANIELS AND THE FORMER PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED HAD SEX. AND SO, YOU KNOW, SEX WAS COMING INTO IT. NOW HOW GRAPHIC IT WAS GOING TO BE. I MEAN, YOU KNOW, MAYBE THE SHOULD HAVE CALMED THAT DOWN A LITTLE BIT. BUT AT THE SAME TIME, WE’RE ASSESSING CREDIBILITY AND SOME OF HER CREDIBILITY AND ABILITY TO DESCRIBE EXACTLY WHAT WENT ON BETWEEN HER AND THE FORMER PRESIDENT. >> YEAH. BUT YES, I THINK THAT’S A THAT’S A REALLY GOOD LEGAL POINT. I ACTUALLY THINK THAT GOOD SENSE. >> CHRIS TIMMINS, GREAT TO SEE YOU. THANKS VERY MUCH. THANK YOU, TERRY. >> THANK YOU. WELL, NOW LET’S BRING THE BIG STORY TO OUR PANEL. JOINING US TODAY, ABC NEWS CONTRIBUTOR AND OP ED COLUMNIST FOR THE LOS ANGELES TIMES, L.Z. GRANDERSON, ABC NEWS CONTRIBUTOR, DEMOCRATIC STRATEGIST ALICIA JOHNSON, FORMER REPUBLICAN CONGRESSMAN FROM VIRGINIA BARBARA COMSTOCK AND ABC NEWS AND SIRIUS XM RADIO HOST MIKE ME. SO, L.Z., LET ME START YOU. TRUMP STRATEGY IN GEORGIA. OBVIOUSLY, HE WANTS TO DISCREDIT THIS PROSECUTOR ACTION. AND THE JUDGE DID HEAR A LOT OF TESTIMONY THAT PRETTY FOR THE PROSECUTORS, BUT ORIGINALLY SAID THEY CAN STAY ON THE CASE. NOW, THE APPEALS COURT WANTS TO TAKE A LOOK. DO YOU THINK HE’S HIS STRATEGY IS WORKING? WELL, IF THE IS WORKING, BECAUSE REMEMBER, THE STRATEGY IS DELAY, DELAY, DELAY AND IN THE LARGER, YOU KNOW, KIND OF CONTACT OF IT ALL, THIS IS SOMETHING THAT WE’VE SEEN HIM DO WITH THE OTHER CASES AS WELL. YOU KNOW, WHETHER IT’S THE JUDGE OR THE PROSECUTION TEAM THEMSELVES, HE’S GONE AFTER THE ACTUAL PEOPLE WHO ARE ACCUSING HIM OF THESE CRIMES AS PART OF THIS LARGER GRIEVANCE. AND SO, YES, I WOULD SAY THE STRATEGY IS WORKING BECAUSE WE HAVE MORE. AND, BARBARA, THESE DELAYS, SURELY TRUMP’S OPPONENTS HOPE THAT LEGAL CASES AGAINST HIM WILL DERAIL ELECTION CAMPAIGN. THAT’S ONE OF THE REASONS THESE TIMELINES ARE SO IMPORTANT. SO MANY PEOPLE WHO DON’T SUPPORT TRUMP, THEY WANT TO SEE HIM CONVICTED THAT BEFORE THE VOTERS GO TO THE POLLS. AND THEN, OF COURSE THE ANSWER IS, WELL, REALLY THE ONLY WAY YOU’RE GOING TO REALLY DEFEAT DONALD TRUMP AND TRUMPISM IF YOU WANT TO, IS THE OLD FASHIONED WAY AT THE BALLOT BOX. >> WHAT DO YOU THINK OF THAT ARGUMENT? YEAH, WELL, THE AMERICAN PEOPLE ARE GOING TO HAVE TO BE THE JURY IN THIS CASE AND HAVE HEARD A LOT OF THESE THINGS. CERTAINLY IN GEORGIA CASE THEY’VE HEARD THE TAPES. SO THEY WILL HAVE TO BE THE JURY. AND THEN WHEN HE LOSES NOVEMBER, THIS TRIAL CAN STILL GO FORWARD NO MATTER WHO PROSECUTOR IS AND ALL OF HIS CO-DEFENDANTS WHO CAN’T BE PARDONED. WHETHER HE WINS OR LOSES ARE GOING TO BE IN THE DOCK WITH HIM. >> YEAH, IT’S A GREAT POINT THAT THAT TRUMP DOESN’T WIN THE PRESIDENCY. ALL OF THESE CASES WILL COME AT HIM. SAME WAY ENSUE. SO WHAT DO YOU MAKE OF THE NOTION THAT DEMOCRATS ARE PUTTING TOO MUCH ENERGY, TOO MUCH HOPE IN THIS, WHEN REALLY IT’S GOING TO TAKE A MASSIVE, GRASSROOTS, PASSIONATE CAMPAIGN, GET EVERYBODY OUT IF THEY’RE GOING TO BEAT TRUMP? >> LISTEN, I THINK IT’S A TWOFOLD STRATEGY FOR DEMOCRATS. YOU SEE THE BIDEN CAMPAIGN PLAYING AN OFFENSE RIGHT NOW. THEY ARE ACTUALLY BUILDING THAT GROUND GAME IN GEORGIA AND ALL OF THE OTHER KEY STATES WHILE AT THE SAME TIME, ALLOWING FOR THE SYSTEM TO DO WHAT NEEDS TO DO WHEN IT COMES TO DONALD TRUMP. >> THE DELAY TACTIC. AND AS L.Z. SAID, IT’S GOING TO CONTINUE TO DELAY. BUT THE BIDEN CAMPAIGN WILL USE THIS AS AN OPPORTUNITY TO TAKE THE CONTRAST OF WHAT CAN BE DONE WHEN THEY ARE REAL IF THEY ARE REELECTED AND THEY’RE BUILDING THAT GROUND GAME IN GEORGIA WHILE THIS PLAYS OUT . AND THANK YOU, NANCY AND MIKE. YOU BACK TO GEORGIA. SO THIS RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN FANI WILLIS AND NATHAN, WHICH WAS KIND OF SPILLED INTO THE PUBLIC IN THAT HEARING SEVERAL DAYS IN MAY, AS AS CHRIS TIMMONS JUST SAID OF HOW THE APPEALS COURT RULES DAMAGE THIS CASE BEYOND REPAIR, DOES IT DOES IT ALSO DAMAGE IT? DO YOU THINK IT ALSO IT IN THE MIND? >> IN THE PUBLIC MIND? NO I DON’T I THINK JUDGE MCAFEE RECONCILED THAT IN HIS REMARKS IN SAYING THAT THE CASE COULD GO ON WITH FANI WILLIS AT THE HELM AS LONG AS SHE OR NATHAN WADE STEPPED DOWN. I THINK WAS LOST TO WHAT CHRIS EVANS WAS ALLUDING TO IN A CONVERSATION WITH HIM. I ONCE THAT CASE IS PERMITTED TO GO ON AFTER THE APPEAL GOES FORWARD, I THINK THAT AT THAT TIME THE PROSECUTION WOULD BE ABLE TO HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO REPHRASE CAME THIS CASE WHERE IT IS AND REMOVE IT FROM ITS PLACE IN, THIS SALACIOUS THIS OF WHAT IT HAS BECOME. >> YEAH, NO QUESTION. FACTS ALLEGED ARE DESPERATELY SERIOUS. HEY, FELLAS, FIND ME 11,000 VOTES IS RIGHT AT THE HEART OF THAT. MIKE, L.Z. ZELENSKYY AND BARBARA, THANKS VERY MUCH. COMING UP IN OUR SPOTLIGHT TONIGHT, DEFENSE SECRETARY LLOYD AUSTIN HAS PUBLICLY CONFIRMED THAT THE WHITE HOUSE HAS, IN FACT, WITHHELD BOMB SHIPMENT TO ISRAEL OUT OF FEAR IT COULD BE USED IN RAFAH. PANEL WEIGHS IN COMING UP NEXT . >> WHENEVER NEWS BREAKS, WE ARE HERE IN ISRAEL, A NATION AT WAR AFTER THAT BRUTAL SURPRISE ATTACK BY HAMAS ON THE GROUND IN UKRAINE. >> REPORTING FROM LEWISTON, MAINE, THE SCENE OF A HORRIFIC MASS SHOOTING, ABC LIVE IS RIGHT THERE FROM THE SCENE OF THAT DEADLY MISSILE STRIKE FOR UKRAINE. REPORTING FROM THE EARTHQUAKE. TURKEY IN ROLLING FORTH THIS TORNADO TORE THROUGH THIS LITTLE TOWN FROM THE MOST DEVASTATING DISASTER IN HAWAII FROM CHARLESTON, SOUTH ON THE 2024 CAMPAIGN TRAIL IN ICELAND. LET’S GO TRAVELING WITH THE PRESIDENT IN MEXICO CITY, WHEREVER THE STORY IS ON THE FRONT LINES FROM SOUTHERN ISRAEL OUTSIDE THE GAZA STRIP IN BEIRUT FROM THE FBI BEFORE HE PUT THE NURSES ON THE PICKET LINE HERE AT TEN DOWNING STREET IN LONDON, STREAMING LIVE TO EVER HEAR THE STORY IS WHEREVER THE STORY IS, WHEREVER THE STORY IS, WE’RE TO TAKE YOU THERE. WE’RE STREAMING ABC NEWS LIVE, ABC NEWS LIVE, WE’RE STREAMING ABC NEWS LIVE, ABC NEWS LIVE STREAMING FREE AMERICA’S NUMBER ONE STREAMING NEWS FRIDAY NIGHT ,TWO TEENAGERS LEFT TO GO TO A BIRTHDAY PARTY BUT NEVER REACHED THEIR DESTINATION. BOTH MEN WERE SHOT EXECUTION STYLE. I CAN HEAR MY HEART BREATHING IN A COLD CASE THAT’S POSSIBLY BEEN CRACKED. THE HELP OF DNA EVIDENCE AND PRETTY MUCH ALL HELL BREAKS LOOSE. A MINISTER CHARGED WITH MURDER . >> WERE YOU WORRIED THAT THIS BLACK MAN, YOUR HUSBAND, IS BEING ACCUSED MURDERING TWO WHITE TEENAGE GIRLS? >> MAYBE YOU WERE LIVING WITH SOMEBODY YOU JUST DIDN’T KNOW? THE NEW 2020 FRIDAY NIGHT ON ABC. LET’S GO. THE SHIP IS INCREDIBLE. IT FEELS LIKE LIVING IN A SCIENCE FICTION MOVIE. WE JUST SAW WHAT NO ONE HAS SEEN BEFORE. LOOK AT THAT. OH, MY GOD. WELL, WE HEADING INTO THE UNKNOWN. HAMMER, HAMMER, HAMMER. IT DOESN’T GET ANY MORE CUTTING EDGE IN THIS? >> WHY DO SO MANY PEOPLE START THEIR DAY HERE? >> FROM ABC NEWS. THIS IS "START HERE". TO BE IN THE KNOW GET A DIFFERENT TAKE ON THE DAY’S TOP STORIES. A LOT OF NEWS TODAY. LET’S GET INTO IT. LISTEN NOW TO THE DAILY NEWS PODCAST HONORED WITH EDWARD ARE MURROW AWARDS AND SEE WHY THE NEW YORK TIMES CALLS IT A NEWS PODCAST WORTH LISTENING TO. YOU START HERE. ABC NEWS MAKE IT YOUR DAILY FIRST LISTEN NOW, THAT’S THE PART OF THE STORY THAT YOU DIDN’T SEE COMING. >> WHEREVER YOU GET YOUR PODCASTS, START HERE HERE AS WELL. WE’RE GOING TO CONTINUE TO DO WHAT’S NECESSARY TO ENSURE THAT ISRAEL HAS THE MEANS TO DEFEND. BUT THAT SAID, WE ARE CURRENTLY REVIEWING SOME NEAR TERM SECURITY ASSISTANCE GOVERNMENTS IN THE CONTEXT OF UNFOLDING EVENTS IN RWANDA. AND THAT’S IN OUR SPOTLIGHT TONIGHT. UNITED STATES HAS PAUSED AN ARMS SHIPMENT TO ISRAEL. SECRETARY OF DEFENSE LLOYD AUSTIN THERE CONFIRMED THAT DECISION DURING. A SENATE HEARING EARLIER TODAY. AUSTIN WARNED THAT A MAJOR ISRAELI OPERATION IN THE CITY OF RAFAH IN SOUTHERN GAZA WHERE MORE THAN A MILLION PALESTINIANS ARE SHELTERING, COULD CHANGE CALCULUS ON SECURITY ASSISTANCE TO ISRAEL. BUT HE INSISTED THAT AMERICA’S COMMITMENT TO ISRAEL REMAINS, QUOTE IRONCLAD. AUSTIN ALSO SAID THE U.S. HAS BEEN CLEAR ON PRIORITIZING THE PROTECTION OF PALESTINIAN CIVILIANS BEFORE ANY MAJOR IN RAFAH. CAPITOL POLICE ARRESTED ONE PERSON DURING AUSTIN’S TESTIMONY EARLIER AND SEVERAL PRO-PALESTINIAN PROTESTS AS THEY RAISED THEIR HANDS, WHICH WERE DYED RED TO, BRING ATTENTION TO THE ONGOING WAR KIND OF DEMO THAT THE ADMINISTRATION AND THE PRESIDENT CAN SEE A LOT BETWEEN NOW AND NOVEMBER. LET’S BRING BACK MY PANEL, L.Z., ALEXIA, BARBARA AND MIKE. SO, MIKE, YOU THINK THAT THE US HOLDING BACK THIS SHIPMENT OF WHAT OUR REPORTER SELINA WANG SAID WERE VERY LARGE BOMBS, £2,000 BOMBS? THIS A PRESSURE TACTIC AND WILL IT WORK AND DOES IT CHANGE THE NATURE OR DOES IT CHANGE THE CALCULATION OF THE US SUPPORT FOR ISRAEL? >> IT DOESN’T CHANGE THE CALCULATION OF THE SUPPORT AS WE’VE HEARD STATEMENTS THROUGHOUT THIS TIME PERIOD, WE’VE HEARD THE U.S. SAY THAT THEY’RE MORE INTERESTED IN MAKING SURE THAT ISRAEL HAS ALL THAT IT NEEDS, BUT IN PARTICULAR LOOKING AT IT FROM A DEFENSIVE POSTURE, NOT FOR AN OFFENSIVE POSTURE SO FAR, BUT WE’VE BEEN HEARING FROM ADMINISTRATION IS THAT THEY’RE LOOKING FOR A CEASEFIRE IN EXCHANGE FOR THE HOSTAGES. THEY’VE ALSO TO TERRY, BEEN ASKING FOR ISRAEL TO HAVE RESTRAINT FROM CONTINUE MOVING FORWARD, OFFENSIVE AND MOVING FORWARD INTO RAFAH, TO WHICH THIS MAN WHO HAS SHOWED NO SIGNS OF SLOWING DOWN, SLOWING DOWN. SO I THINK WITH THIS MOVE RIGHT HERE, IF THEY’RE USING THE TOOLS THAT THEY HAVE AS A NEGOTIATION TOOL IN ORDER TO GET NETANYAHU TO COME TO THE TABLE TO BE MORE IN LOCKSTEP TO WHAT PRESIDENT BIDEN AND SECRETARY BLINKEN’S AIMS AND GOALS ARE WHEN IT COMES TO A CEASEFIRE. WITH THE RELEASE OF THE HOSTAGES. >> YOU KNOW, THANK YOU AND MIKE, AND I’LL ANSWER YOU SINCE THAT MOMENT REALLY JUST HOURS AFTER THE OCTOBER SEVENTH ATTACK IN ISRAEL BY HAMAS. PRESIDENT BIDEN RIGHT THERE SHOULDER TO SHOULDER WITH PRIME MINISTER NETANYAHU. WE’VE SEEN THE DISTANCE AND GROW AND GROW AS NETANYAHU PURSUES THIS IN A WAY THAT HAS HORRIFIED MUCH OF THE WORLD, PUTTING BIDEN IN A VERY DIFFICULT POSITION. IS THIS A POLICY AND A POLITICAL ONE AS WELL, DO YOU THINK? I DO THINK THIS IS A BIT OF A POLICY SHIFT AND SURE, A POLITICAL SHIFT, BUT IT’S ALSO SHOWS THE HUMANITARIAN AND THE MORALITY PIECES AROUND THIS AS WELL. LOOK, THE PRESIDENT BIDEN UNDERSTANDS THAT THERE IS INTEREST TO HAVE ISRAEL AS AN ALLY. HE IS ALSO TRYING TO MANAGE THE FACT THAT WHAT HAS HAPPENED TO THE PALESTINIAN PEOPLE, THE HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS, MILLIONS WHO ARE DISPLACED, THE 40,000 WHO HAVE DIED. THAT IS THE EXTREME PROBLEM. AND SO HE HAS ALSO SEEN THAT IS FEEDING TO THE WARNINGS OF NOT BEING SO AGGRESSIVE. >> AND SO NOW THEY ARE DOING WHAT THEY TO DO. AND THAT HAS BECOME IN THE FORM OF HOLDING WITHDRAWN SOME WEAPONS OR HOLDING SOME WEAPONS. I THINK THERE SOME OF PRESIDENT BIDEN WHO WOULD WANT HIM TO GO FURTHER. >> BUT I DO THINK THAT THIS IS SHOWING THE WORLD THAT THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION IS A BIT FRUSTRATED WITH NETANYAHU’S TACTICS AND HIS TO COME TO THE TABLE FOR A CEASEFIRE. >> ABSOLUTELY. AND THE US TRYING TO SHAPE THE WAY THAT ISRAEL IS GOING TO FIGHT THIS NEXT BATTLE, IF THAT’S WHAT THIS IS. AND BARBARA, THIS COMES AS THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION FACES ANOTHER PROBLEM ITS REPORT ON WHETHER ISRAEL’S CONDUCT OF THE WAR IN GAZA COMPLIES WITH INTERNATIONAL AND U.S. LAWS THAT THAT IS A TOUGH QUESTION GIVEN WHAT’S HAPPENED IN GAZA. LOOKS LIKE. >> HOW DO YOU SEE THIS PLAYING OUT? >> WELL, I UNDERSTAND THE ADMINISTRATION’S CONCERN, BUT ONE OF THE THINGS BY DOING THIS AND MAKING THESE PAUSES, HE’S UPSET THE SENSITIVE BALANCE BETWEEN CONGRESS AND THE SUPPORT THAT HE GOT WITH THAT 300 PLUS VOTES FOR THE PACKAGE OF AID, ISRAEL AND UKRAINE. AND NOW YOU HAVE CONGRESSMEN LIKE MCCAUL AND MIKE ROGERS VERY UPSET THAT HE’S DOING THIS WITHOUT CONSULTING WITH CONGRESS, WITHOUT TALKING WITH CONGRESS. SO, YOU KNOW, WITH THE HOSTAGES AND WITH HAMAS AND HEZBOLLAH, IRAN AND ALL OF THESE VERY DELICATE SITUATION. I THINK HE WANTS KEEP THIS, YOU KNOW, WORKING WITH CONGRESS AND HAVING LEADERS LIKE THOSE WORKING WITH THEM, WORK CLOSELY. SO THERE ISN’T THIS RIFT IN CONGRESS. >> HMM. AND, L.Z., WHAT DO YOU WHAT DO YOU MAKE OF THIS DECISION TO WITHHOLD SOME £2,000 BOMBS WHILE THERE’S AN OPEN FAMINE THAT HAS OUT IN PARTS OF GAZA? WELL I THINK THAT’S PART OF IT, TERRY, THAT, YOU KNOW, NEEDS TO BE TALKED ABOUT AS AS THE POLITICS IS THE FACT THAT THERE ARE REAL MORAL QUESTIONS NEED TO BE ASKED IN THIS CONTEXT. AND THAT’S PART OF THE REASON WHY YOU SEE THE STUDENTS ON THE CAMPUS ISN’T BECAUSE THEY’RE WEIGHING THE POLITICS OF IT ALL. THIS BECAUSE THE QUESTION, THE MORALITY OF IT ALL. AND I THINK, YOU KNOW, THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION IS SHOWING THAT IT, TOO, IS MAYBE SHOWN A WILLINGNESS PAUSE IN THE BACKDROP OF THE MORALITY QUESTION, BECAUSE REMEMBER, PRESIDENT BIDEN HAS BEEN SIGNALING, YOU KNOW, NOT TO GO INTO IRAQ FOR WEEKS NOW. AND YOU SEE MORE AND MORE NATIONS TALK ABOUT THE CONDITIONS ON THE GROUND AND THEY’RE NOW AND WE’VE SEEN RECENTLY THIS WEEK REPORTS THE PENTAGON HAS YET TO A FEASIBLE PLAN TO PROTECT CIVILIANS AND IS HAPPY WITH. AND THAT WAS AFTER THE INVASION. SO WE’VE SORT OF SEEN THIS SORT OF THIS DIRECTION. AND IT’S ALL BASED, YOU KNOW, THROUGH OUR CONVERSATIONS, THROUGH POLITICS, BUT MIRRORING THE POLITICS, THE MORAL QUESTION OF IT ALL. >> YOU KNOW, PRESIDENT BIDEN FROM THE FIRST HAS CAUTIONED ISRAEL TO PROTECT CIVILIAN LIFE AND COMPLY WITH INTERNATIONAL LAWS. AND IT HAS BEEN HARD TO FOR HIM TO REALLY AFFECT THAT EVERY DAY. L.Z. ZELENSKYY, BARBARA AND MIKE, THANKS VERY MUCH. >> OKAY. SOME BREAKING NEWS HERE. WE’RE GOING TO TAKE YOU BACK CAPITOL HILL AFTER CONGRESSWOMAN MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE TRIGGERED A MOTION TO VACATE TO KICK OUT THE SPEAKER, THE HOUSE MIKE JOHNSON. WE WILL LOOK AT SOME LIVE IMAGES OF THE HOUSE FLOOR. WELL, RIGHT NOW, THE MEMBERS OF THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES ARE VOTING TABLE TO KILL MARJORIE TAYLOR. GREENE’S MOTION. AND THEY DID TEST THIS IS THEY DID TABLE THAT I AM TOLD, ART. SO LET’S GO TO ABC NEWS JAY O’BRIEN BACK ON CAPITOL HILL. >> SO, JAY, WHAT WENT DOWN HERE? SO, TERRY, THEY MADE QUICK WORK OF THIS MOTION. SO JUST WITHIN THE LAST HOUR YOU AND I WERE ON THE AIR TOGETHER WHEN MARJORIE TAYLOR. GREENE FINALLY, AFTER OF THREATENING IT, CALLED A VOTE TO OUST MIKE JOHNSON AS SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE. AND THEN AFTER SOME PROCEDURAL ITEMS ON PIECES OF LEGISLATION, HOUSE LEADERSHIP, REPUBLICANS MADE THE MOTION TO TABLE IT, MEANING ESSENTIALLY THERE WOULD BE VOTE ON JOHNSON’S FUTURE. THEY WOULD JUST PUSH MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE’S MOTION PROCEDURALLY ASIDE. AND THAT IS THE VOTE THAT JUST OCCURRED. AND OVERWHELMINGLY PASSED BECAUSE DEMOCRATS, AS THEY PROMISED TO VOTED WITH REPUBLICANS TO TABLE MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE’S MOTION . BUT IT’S NOT NECESSARILY THE FACT THAT THIS MOTION IS THE MOST NEWSWORTHY, BUT IT’S THE NUMBER OF REPUBLICANS THAT VOTED WITH GREENE AND AGAINST MIKE JOHNSON TO TRY TO HAVE THIS VOTE ON JOHNSON’S FUTURE 11 REPUBLICAN, INCLUDING MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE AND HER THREE. SO IN ADDITION TO THOSE THREE, THERE WAS MORE THAN NINE REPUBLICANS WHO VOTED ALONGSIDE MARJORIE TAYLOR. GREENE RECEIVED MORE THAN EIGHT WHO VOTED ALONGSIDE MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE TO HOLD VOTE ON WHETHER OR NOT JOHNSON SHOULD BE OUSTED. THAT WAS, FRANKLY, MORE THAN HAD TELEGRAPHED THAT THEY WOULD SUPPORT HER EFFORTS. AND IT’S UNCLEAR AS TO WHY THOSE REPUBLICANS VOTED THE WAY THEY DID. THERE WERE SOME REPUBLICANS, CHIP ROY, FOR INSTANCE, WHO’S A HARD LINE CONSERVATIVE, WHO HAVE HAD SOME POLICY WITH MIKE JOHNSON IN THE PAST. BUT CERTAINLY MIKE JOHNSON HAS SURVIVED THIS VOTE, BUT HE HAD A DECENT CHUNK OF HIS PARTY MORE WAS EXPECTED VOTE WITH MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE TO TRY TO PUSH A VOTE FORWARD TO OUST HIM. >> SO HE’S DAMAGED A LITTLE BIT THERE. BUT WHAT ABOUT MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE? SHE’S BEEN THREATENING, THREATENING AND THREATENING AND THREATENING AND THREATENING TO DO THIS FOR A WHILE NOW. AND THEN SHE DOES IT. AND FOR ALL THAT, YOU KNOW, JOHNSON SOME VOTES AMONG REPUBLICANS HERE, YOU KNOW, THAT THEY HAVE NOT, LIKE ANY OF THEIR SPEAKERS THAT CROWD SHE LOSES. >> I MEAN WHAT WHAT’S THE POINT OF IT AND SHE LOSES OVERWHELMINGLY, TERRY. >> I MEAN, 190 REPUBLICANS VOTED TO TABLE THIS MOTION. SO WHY YOU HAD, THOSE 11 REBELS OR WHATEVER YOU WANT TO CALL THEM, THERE WAS STILL AN OVERWHELMING MAJORITY OF REPUBLICANS WHO SAID. MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE MOTION NEEDS GO. THERE WERE MODERATE REPUBLICANS WHO GATHERED RIGHT OUT HERE ON THE CAPITOL STEPS BEFORE. THIS MOTION HAPPENED. AND I’M LOOKING OVER HERE TO SEE WHO’S OVER THERE. YOU KNOW, WE SHOULD GO OVER I DON’T KNOW WHO IT IS, BUT FOLLOW ME, IF YOU DON’T MIND. >> TERRY. SO THERE WAS A GROUP, MODERATE REPUBLICANS, WHO GATHERED ON THE CAPITOL STEPS AND FORGIVE. >> AS I WALK OVER THERE, THE CAMERA’S GOING TO TRY TO STAY WITH ME AS BEST AS IT CAN. BUT THE GAGGLE ON THE STEPS PRIOR TO THE VOTE AND ONE OF THE TOP LINES OF THEIR COMMENTS WERE THAT THEY ACCUSED MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE OF OF THROWING A QUOTE UNQUOTE, TEMPER TANTRUM . THEY SAID THAT THIS WAS UNPRODUCTIVE. THEY SAID THAT MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE, AS YOU NOTED, HAD FAILED IN HER EFFORTS TO OUST SPEAKER JOHNSON. NONETHELESS STILL, SHE DOES PICK UP THOSE 11 REPUBLICANS WHO VOTE WITH HER TO TRY TO COMPEL THIS VOTE TO OUST MIKE JOHNSON. >> AND SO IT IT AND THERE’S NO ONE THERE AS WE WALK OVER. BUT IT LOOKS LIKE THESE ARE REPORTERS WAITING FOR MARJORIE TAYLOR. GREENE TO GAGGLE BECAUSE HER TEAM HAD SAID THAT SHE WOULD LIKELY COME OUT AFTER THE VOTE AND STAND HERE AND TAKE SOME QUESTIONS. BUT THE QUESTION BECOMES, WHAT DOES THIS MEAN HOUSE REPUBLICANS GOING FORWARD? BECAUSE THERE ARE STILL THESE DIVISIONS, AS NOTED IN THIS VOTE BETWEEN THE HARD LINERS WHO HAVE DEEP DISAGREEMENTS WITH MIKE JOHNSON AND THE VAST MAJORITY OF OTHER REPUBLICANS WHO VIEW THIS EFFORT BY MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE AS UNPRODUCTIVE AND. THE OTHER QUESTION THAT HANGS OVER THIS REPUBLICAN CONFERENCE IS, DOES MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE AND HER ALLIES KEEP COMING FOR JOHNSON AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN UNDER THE HOUSE REPUBLICAN RULES? MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE CAN’T BRING ANOTHER VOTE TO OUST MIKE JOHNSON, BUT SOMEONE ELSE COULD, PERHAPS WITH HER BLESSING. >> SO THIS MIGHT NOT BE A PROBLEM THAT JOHNSON HAS FULLY ESCAPED FROM
