7:03 am
>> it is going to be an inspiring morning. thank you, robin. we're going to begin with the race for 2024. overnight, donald trump declared his intentions if he was elected back into the white house, refusing to rule out abusing the power of the presidency. the latest in a string of dangerous threats. this is why president biden said he's running for a second term. chief washington correspondent jon karl has details. good morning, jon. >> reporter: good morning, george. donald trump was asked a simple and direct question by a friendly interviewer and he wouldn't rule out abusing power if he gets back to the white house. in fact, he used the word dictator to describe his plans for day 1 in office. at a town hall overnight with fox news host sean hannity, donald trump was asked what should have been an easy question. would he abuse the power of the presidency during his second term? >> i want to be very, very clear on this. to be clear, do you in any way have any plans whatsoever, if re-elected president, to abuse power? to break the law?
7:04 am
to use the government to go after people? >> you mean like they're using right now? >> reporter: he dodged the question, but minutes later hannity pressed him again for an answer. >> under no circumstances, you are promising america tonight, you would never abuse power as retribution against anybody? >> except for day 1. except for day 1. >> meaning? >> i want to close the border and i want to drill drill drill. >> that's not retribution. >> i'm going to -- he says you're not going to be a dictator, are you? no, no, other than day 1. we're closing the border and we're drilling drilling drilling. after that i'm not a dictator. >> reporter: just the latest comment from the former president that's raised alarms about what he would do if he makes it back to the white house. it comes as joe biden is making the threat trump poses to democracy a big part of his campaign message. during a closed door fund-raiser
7:05 am
tuesday, biden told supporter, quote, if trump wasn't running, i'm not sure i'd be running. but we cannot let him win. the president later clarified that, telling reporters that he would still be running even if trump dropped out. a senior campaign adviser telling abc that biden is trying to underscore what is at stake in 2024. biden is facing low approval ratings and a slew of polls showing him neck and neck with trump even with the former president facing multiple criminal indictments. a new court filing in one of those cases makes it clear that special counsel jack smith is going to place the blame for the violence on january 6th squarely on donald trump, making the case that rioters were doing essentially what trump wanted them to do. jack smith plans to use trump's own words to argue the former president is not only responsible for the violence on january 6th, but that, quote, the rioters disruption of the certification proceeding is exactly what the defendant intended.
7:06 am
smith points to trump's embrace of those who have been convicted and sentenced to prison for storming the capitol. >> i call them the j6 hostages not prisoners. i call them the hostages, what's happened. it's a shame. >> reporter: he also cites how trump and his campaign have elevated the so called j6 choir a group of prisoners who recorded a version of the national anthem from behind bars. trump played their recording with video images of the violence on january 6th running in the background at the very first campaign rally of his 2024 campaign in waco, texas. >> justice for all featuring president donald j. trump as the j6 choir. >> reporter: smith also says he will present evidence that trump had enormous influence over the rioters, that he could have stopped the violence, but he didn't. something trump seemed to acknowledge in an interview with me not long after january 6th. >> i was thinking about going
7:07 am
back during the problem to stop the problem, doing it myself, secret service didn't like that idea too much. i could have done that. i would have been very well received. don't forget, the people that went to washington that day, in my opinion, they went because they thought the election was rigged. that's why they went. >> reporter: of course, trump didn't go to the capitol on january 6th. according to the sworn testimony of several of his top aide, he instead went to the small dining room next to the oval office and he watched television doing nothing to stop the violence as it unfolded on capitol hill. george? >> his intention and motivations hiding in plain sight. thank you very much. michael? we're going to turn to israel's war with hamas as the fighting intensify, the war is also raising alarms here in the u.s. the fbi director told lawmakers yesterday that the threat environment is unusually high.
7:08 am
>> all the lights were blinking red before 9/11. apparently, obviously, all of us missed it. would you say that there's multiple blinking red lights out there? >> i see blinking lights everywhere i turn. >> chief justice correspondent pierre thomas is tracking this homeland threat. good morning, pierre. >> reporter: michael, good morning. those of us who remember 9/11 see the fbi's director's exchange with senator graham as disturbing, chilling. here's why he said he's seeing blinking red lights everywhere. since the israeli/hamas war started a number of terror groups including isis and al qaeda have been flooding social media with calls of attack including here in the u.s. and there's been a spike of attack against the muslim community and jewish americans. in fact, wray said he's never seen a time where so many of the threats are all elevated all at exactly the same time. wray is calling on congress to renew the law which allows the fbi to conduct surveillance on terror suspects overseas.
7:09 am
that law is set to expire at the end of the year. wray said now is not the time to let that expire. juju? >> a chilling update. thanks. as concerns increase, so do concerns about anti-semitism across the country, including on college campuses here in the u.s. the presidents of three top universities were grilled on capitol hill. selina wang is there tracking the story. good morning. >> reporter: good morning, juju. college campuses are indeed at the center of heated debate around the israel and hamas war. the controversy at some of the world's most elite institutions even making its way to capitol hill. the presidents of three top universities penn, mit and harvard grilled on capitol hill, accused of not doing enough to track down an anti-semitism on their campuses. >> do you have the courage to condemn the ideology driving anti-semitism? or will you offer weak, blame shifting excuses?
7:10 am
>> reporter: the republican led committee expressing frustration that universities have not done more to discipline students and faculty who they believe are fostering anti-semitism mentioning incidents of vandalism of jewish cultural centers or slogans chanted in protest, threatening e-mails to faculty. university presidents say they have a duty toct student, while preserving free speech. >> i have sought to confront hate while preserving free expression. this is difficult work. i know that i have not always gotten it right. >> reporter: claudine gay is the president of harvard. >> does calling for the genocide of jews violate harvard's rules of bullying and harassment? yes or no? >> it can be, depending on the context. >> what's the context? >> targeted at an individual. >> it's targeted at jewish students. jewish individuals. do you understand your testimony is dehumanizing them? >> reporter: one congress woman, a harvard grad, called the school's president's response deafening.
7:11 am
>> i asked a very specific question. does calling for the genocide of jews violate their school's bullying and harassment policies? not a single university president could say yes. >> reporter: i spoke to an mit student during the hearing who was visibly shaking, in tears, telling me she believes her university leader has done nothing to address anti-semitism on campus. students are also dealing with a rise in islama phobia. this student telling us none of the communities are feeling safe. michael? >> definitely understand why. thanks. we're going to turn to the fight over more aid for ukraine. a critical vote in the senate appears doomed to fail as republican diggs in on border security. top spokesman for the national security council john kirby is standing by. but first terry moran is tracking the latest. >> reporter: this morning is the moment of truth for u.s. aid to ukraine. but the blame game has already begun on capitol hill. >> this mess was created entirely by hard right republicans.
7:12 am
>> reporter: democrats are furious that after weeks of talks over a bill that would send urgently needed military aid to ukraine, negotiations on capitol hill have fallen apart. a classified congressional briefing on aid to ukraine degenerated into a heated debate, with one senator screaming at a u.s. general, sources say. ukraine desperately needs more ammunition and weapons from the u.s., as russia's sheer size and brute force tactics generate steady gains on the battlefield. but republican house speaker mike johnson has drawn a line in the sand, declaring that any new funding is contingent on transformative change to our nation's border security laws. republicans insist that democrats and president biden must agree to toughen u.s. asylum laws and build more border wall, among other demands. congress has failed to act on major immigration reform for decades, and now communities along the border are overwhelmed. >> these are the people waiting as of right now to get into a van with border patrol, just to
7:13 am
get processed. but there are hundreds more standing right behind them, also waiting to somehow get picked up by the agents. >> reporter: last night as the clock ticked, the president was blunt. >> the failure to do this is absolutely crazy. >> reporter: senate majority leader schumer says there will be a vote on aid to ukraine today. it will almost certainly fail. and then we'll be back to negotiations, with both sides far apart and dug in and outnumbered ukrainian troops on the battlefield running out of ammunition and arms, as russian forces keep grinding them down. george? >> terry moran, thanks. let's bring in john kirby. john, thanks for joining us. we just heard president biden say it would be crazy not to pass this aid package. we also heard terry moran say democrats don't have votes right now. what is the president going to do? >> well, we're going to stay engaged in congress, george. we were up on capitol hill yesterday.
7:14 am
we'll keep having those conversations to try to get this over the finish line. this aid to ukraine is absolutely critical. it comes at a critical time, george, as the winter months start to set in and it becomes harder for the ukrainians to be able to claw back some of that territory. >> since it's so critical, what can the president do on border security to get the republican votes he needs? >> again, i won't negotiate in public. from day one he submitted a proposal for immigration reform. we're serious about it. we're willing to have a good faith negotiation with the republican side over this, but they're simply not willing to do this. they want to saddle up this supplemental funding here with borer proposals that are simply unacceptable for the president and administration and basically holding this ukraine aid hostage. again, we're willing to have a good faith negotiation. i would add a significant chunk of the supplemental requests that we submitted had border security in there. more borer patrol agents, more asylum courts and court officer, more physical infrastructure. i think we're willing to have a discussion on that.
7:15 am
what we don't want to see is ukraine held hostage for it. >> two sides don't seem close. the consequence of this stale mate could be the defeat of ukraine, couldn't it? >> it could lead to ukraine not being able to defend itself going into the winter months. we've been saying this for weeks. the russians are on the offensive in some places and they have every intention to continue to go on the offensive even through the winter months. they've got more man power and resources even if they aren't doing a lot on the battlefield. this is a critical time for ukraine. and we're running out of time and money. >> running out of time, money. israel aid is also at stake here in congress right now. the war continues to grind on in gaza. what can you tell us about the remaining american hostages? >> don't have a whole lot more information for you on that this morning, george. we think there's about eight hostages that are americans. we know at least one woman in that group. we're doing everything we can to try to get them released. we're constantly engaged with our partners in the region to
7:16 am
try to get the humanitarian pause back in place so that the flow of hostages can renew. i will tell you though that even with the pause now ended, we are still flowing in humanitarian assistance, trying to get it to the level it was during the pause. >> there doesn't appear to be a clear end game to this war. >> well, again, i can't speak to the end game specifically this morning, george. that's something for the israelis to speak to. we obviously want to see hamas eliminated as a threat to the israeli people. that hasn't been achieved yet. they're going after the leadership as best they can. they believe they need to operate in the south. we told them we'll continue to support their military operations. we want to make sure as they do that, they're factoring in those innocent civilian lives as much as possible. >> john kirby, thanks. juju? we're going to turn to breaking news overnight. six people were killed in texas. aaron katersky is here with the latest on that investigation. good morning, aaron. >> reporter: good morning to you. overnight austin police said the shootings and murders were the work of a single gun man but didn't know it until his arrest after an eight-hour spate of violence.
7:17 am
it began just before 11:00 a.m. tuesday with the shooting of an austin independent school district police sergeant. an hour later police were called to the scene of a double homicide. later in the day, someone on a bicycle was shot. police responded to a burglary called on a home where an officer came under fire. there was a shootout with the suspect, who fled. inside the home there were two people found dead. the shooter was finally caught on the outskirts of austin, and police linked him to a double murder in san antonio. in total, six dead, three others shot thankfully with nonlife threatening injuries, and a wild day in texas, guys. coming up, new details on the american woman killed in a shark attack in the bahamas as we hear from an eyewitness. >> celebrating the life and legacy of norman lear, the man behind some of the iconic american television shows. and the new warning about criminals rolling back miles on odometers. how experts say you can protect yourself when buying a used car.

we're back now with a warning about buying used cars as an old odometer scam is making a comeback that could cost you. steve osunsami join us with the story. >> reporter: there's now more incentive than ever to mess with car mileage because of the higher prices for used cars after the covid prices. experts say it's getting harder to tell when the numbers are wrong. paul burrows lives in iowa and said he had no idea the mileage on his pretty new car was a lie. in november he found an incredible deal and paid $10,000 for this 2015 audi to a private owner in chicago thinking it only had 66,000 miles. but when he registered the car with the state he discovered the
7:44 am
truth. >> the mileage had been altered. that car had 185,000 miles on it and not 66,000 miles on it. >> reporter: we asked experts to run the vehicle and they tell us if those low miles were real, the car would have been worth as much as $18,000. >> was i heart broken? yes. i thought maybe i was missing a really good car at 66,000 miles. >> reporter: as we discovered, it only takes minutes to cheat. >> go through and select chevrolet. hhr. this is a nine model. >> reporter: josh ingall repairs vehicle odometers north of atlanta and said thieves can quickly change an odometer reading. >> there's our kilometer value. 70,000 kilometers. >> and you just tell it a new number? >> that's it. miles will change. 43,000 miles. >> it changed instantly. >> seconds. it takes no time.
7:45 am
>> reporter: does the car have a record of like, oh, i have been tampered with? >> some do, some don't. this one does not. >> reporter: according to car fax new data tells them there are about 2.1 million cars with odometers that have been rolled back, up 7% from a year ago, and 14% from two years ago. the cost to american car buyers is more than $1 billion each year according to the federal government. >> there are sometimes organized scammers and there are sometimes one off people. >> reporter: experts say the best protection is to always get a report using your car's vin. and have an independent mechanic look underneath the car before you buy. >> they can look for overly worn brake pedals. they can look for shocks that may see much more wear than that odometer reading suggests. >> reporter: one bit of good news for someone buying a relatively new used car. experts say any car like an electric car, for example, that reports its mileage online or to the cloud is harder to mess with. but they warn the crooks will catch up there, too.

>> you to have any humorous outlook is amazing to me. how do you maintain that frame of mind? >> what's the alternative? the alternative is that you're negative and depressed. that's not going to help your cancer. especially if you believe in mind over matter. i think believing that you're going to get through it is, it resonates within your entire body. the brain is a very powerful thing. and laughter is always the best medicine. >> yeah. laughter seems to help a little bit of everything. you've been in the public eye for over 30 years. your career full steam ahead. you have this podcast going where you're going deeper into your career, your life. everything you have ever gone before. what do you think people will be most surprised to learn that they may not know already? >> oh. there's some -- >> oohing. okay.

>> most of the population here was renters. a lot of the people who owned the rental property, they can't rebuild the properties back. >> the vast majority of them didn't have renters insurance. so they not only lost their home, but they lost everything inside of their home. now what little they did have, they have nothing. >> britt williamson one of the city's beloved pastors taking things into his own hands. >> we are building between 1200 and 1300 square foot homes. >> launching a nonprofit called rolling fork rising, with a revolutionary idea. >> our goal is to help renter families that were affected by the tornado come back to rolling fork not as renters but as homeowners. >> the organization getting to work over the past eight months. >> we own ten lots inside rolling fork. we have four foundations poured. as you can see, we have two houses that are currently under construction.

[ applause ] to help build homes for families like yours. i know that's some good news for you. that's some good news for you. we saw how hard it is. what does that mean to get your community going? >> that is incredible because one of the great things that we need is resources, funding, material, different things to help our nonprofit be a blessing from god to people in our community. >> this is important. matt and robert are over here from 84 lumber. how are you? >> i'm doing well. how are you? >> i understand there's more than that. give me a number. is it $100,000? >> it is.

8:25 am
[ applause ] >> oh, wow. how did you come up with this idea to do this? >> well, after the tornado we started, my church did immediate disaster relief. in the midst of helping a lot of family, we discovered how many families were renters. because of our economic situation, people that own the rental home weren't going to build back. so if we didn't do something to help the renter families come back, rolling fork was probably gonna die. we just felt like we needed to be a blessing from the lord to put together a program, and god put together this program. he's given us a great team, great board, great construction manager. so what was the program like? what is it like? >> it's it was wonderful. i learned a lot. i learned the most important thing was, is the rebuilding of our town. when the

8:45 am
ballroom dances i want to focus on the latino portion of it and making it as accurate as i can. it's been a huge priority for me especially costumes and designing and just the background. they did a wonderful, wonderful job with the background in our free style. it's funny. i took val to his first dinner. that's where he saw the ofrenda. he was inspired by that aesthetic and that look. oh my gosh, if we could do this and execute it well with all the things, it would be so perfect. >> just the meaning of what it stands for and just her spirit of always kind of paying homage to the folks that came before her, whatever field she is participating. it felt right. >> that's awesome. i also know -- despite the four perfect score, xochitl, you came in with zero dance background.
