>> good morning america. he's good. one of my favorite people on this planet. looking forward to showing our conversation later in the show. >> we have a lot of news this morning. federal reserve signaled yesterday that not only is it done raising interest rates, it will start cutting them. it sent stocks soaring. we'll tell you what it means for your money. from loans to your 401k. we're going to begin with the major storm sweeping through the country. gio is standing by with how it could impact your early holiday travel plans. but first sam in for ginger starts us off with the track. good morning, sam. >> good morning. good morning, everyone. we've had several big storms that time themselves poorly into big travel. this is another one. so we start with this southern rockies snow about 4 inches of snow in colorado springs. but it was enough to snarl some traffic. it was a tough one. there will be about 6 inches more snow in this storm as it is a basic low coming out of the mountains. we signaled this yesterday. now it's spinning up into a game on low that's in the gulf. just quick timing.

i don't want you to hold this to me. we're going to go in the morning, early on saturday morning for florida to atlanta. by the time we get to sunday evening, this is in raleigh durham with the heavy rain. now look at monday morning. we're talking about all five area airports in new york and boston with heavy wind and rain. florida's had a tough time already because there's been a stationary front just down to the south of you. that's been some big wind and rain. we're going to see several days of wind and rain. keys could come up with about 10 inches of rain in the total. here's the rainfall totals. look at the big mark there all the way into some parts of the carolinas. lighter rainfall totals by the time you get into the deep south of texas, louisiana. robin? >> we'll keep an eye on that. sam, thank you. the storm could impact those getting an early start on holiday travel as airlines expect a record breaking number of people to hit the sky. our transportation correspondent gio benitez is at la guardia with more. good morning, gio.

>> reporter: hey, robin. good morning. yeah, we're not just talking about a slight increase in travellers here. we are talking about the busiest travel season ever during the holidays. take a look at these numbers. aaa is expecting 7.5 million domestic travellers between saturday december 23rd through monday january 1st. but that's more than 2019. u.s. airlines expect to sell 39 million seats domestically and internationally from next wednesday into the new year. you'll remember that southwest meltdown last december when almost 17,000 flights were cancelled, people were stranded all over the place. southwest says weather caused it, but it was the only airline hit hard because planes and crews were just in the wrong place. now, sam was just talking about that rough weather in major cities with major airports. that's what airlines are worried about. no small part because of the shortage in air traffic controllers. united said it is well prepared with more than 150 deicing trucks and 15,000 more hires by the end of the year. you just can't forget about the

roads. aaa expects nearly 104 million people to drive over the holidays. that weather, of course, could impact your trip. if you are driving, try to avoid as best you can saturday, december 23rd. that is gonna be the busiest day, michael. >> all right, gio. thank you for that advice. we will take it. going to turn to the israel/hamas war. national security adviser jake sullivan is in israel this morning meeting with officials as calls are growing for a humanitarian cease fire. let's go to our chief white house correspondent mary bruce. good morning, mary. >> reporter: good morning, michael. and these meetings could be tense, coming just days after president biden issued his harshest rebuke yet, warning israel to change its tactics or risk losing global support. this morning president biden's national security adviser touching down in israel. jake sullivan meeting with israeli prime minister netanyahu and his war cabinet, urging them to show restraint in their war against hamas. the meetings come as president biden is stepping up his criticism of israel's military

campaign. the president this week accusing israel of, quote, indiscriminate bombing in gaza, saying they're losing global support because of it. the white house now trying to downplay those remarks, refusing to say if the president's statement was a formal assessment or offhand remark and struggling to explain why the u.s. would continue to rush military aid to a country it thinks is engaged in indiscriminate attacks. abc's mary alice parks pressing spokesman john kirby. >> if the president believes israel is engaging in indiscriminate bombing wouldn't there be an obligation from the u.s. to put new conditions on their aid? >> it always comes with the expectation that the law of conflict will be respected and obeyed. >> but since they aren't, isn't there an obligation to change the way that it's delivering military aid. >> that's a hypothetical. i'm not prepared to engage in

that right now. >> it's not if he is saying indiscriminate bombing. >> it's a hypothetical i'm not going to engage in. we have expressed our concern, president has publicly and privately with israel. >> reporter: the u.s. and israel are still cooperating on another front, recovering the 135 hostages still held in gaza. at the white house, president biden meeting in person for the first time with the families of the americans still missing. jonathan deko hen, whose 35-year-old son was taken by hamas, praising biden's response. >> the u.s. administration is completely committed to getting the hostages out. we have no doubt about that. >> reporter: now eight americans are still missing believed to be held by hamas or another terrorist group but with fighting escalating, hopes for another truce to secure the release of additional hostages is dimming. michael? >> we sure hope they find a way though, mary. thank you. this bring us to the situation on the ground. our foreign correspondent james longman is there in tel aviv with more. good morning, james.

>> reporter: good morning, michael. jake sullivan will arrive here in israel in a bitter atmosphere between the families of the hostages and the israeli government. they feel not enough is being done to prioritize their loved ones. they are angry about the decision to pump sea water into tunnels under gaza. there is uproar over reports that prime minister netanyahu stopped the head of qatar to resume negotiations. they feel the government is playing russian roulette with their families lives. mean time, the situation in gaza goes from bad to worse. just this morning, hamas said 19 people were killed in an air strike. they say more than 18,500 civilians have died since the war began. idf is continuing its operations in neighborhoods north of the gaza strip around gaza city. the situation for palestinian civilians is truly horrific. that's why there are increasing calls for a cease fire and part of the reason why jake sullivan will push the israelis to offer a timetable to how they intend this war to end. >> thanks.

to capitol hill where house republicans voted to approve a formal impeachment inquiry into president biden despite presenting no evidence of high crimes or misdemeanors which is the high standard for impeachment. senior white house correspondent selina wang has the story. good morning, selina. >> reporter: good morning, george. there is still no evidence of wrongdoing by president biden, but house republicans say this is about strengthening their investigation while democrats say this is a sham intended to help his republican rival donald trump. this morning house republicans are pushing ahead with an impeachment inquiry into president biden despite finding no evidence of wrongdoing in nearly a year of investigation. the vote late yesterday falling along party lines. >> the house has now spoken. i think pretty loudly, pretty clearly, with every single republican voting in favor of moving into this official impeachment inquiry phase. >> reporter: the inquiry is focused on allegations that the president abused his power to enrich his family, and whether he made decisions while vice president to boost his son

hunter's businesses. is there hard evidence of wrongdoing? >> that's the point of an inquiry. to ask the questions. >> reporter: hunter biden faces federal tax and gun charges after a plea deal reached with prosecutors fell apart over the summer. he's pleaded not guilty on the weapons charge, and his attorneys say he's paid back the money he owed in taxes. still, he has been under scrutiny by republicans for his work with companies in ukraine and china. so far there's no evidence of the president's involvement. would you accept a pardon from your father. the younger biden making a public appearance on capitol hill yesterday. >> there's no evidence to support the allegations that my father was financially involved in my business because it did not happen. >> reporter: but he also defied a congressional subpoena, refusing to testify in private over concerns his words behind closed doors would be manipulated. instead, offering to testify in public. will he be held in contempt of congress? >> we certainly plan to do that, chairman jordan and i.

>> reporter: right now is there any evidence of wrongdoing on the part of president biden? >> we have questions about some checks joe biden received. >> reporter: democrats slamming the investigation. >> they've been at it for 11 months. they have found nothing. >> this is a ridiculous fishing expedition. >> reporter: after the vote, president biden issued a statement saying house republicans are focused on attacking him with lies instead of making american lives better. some democratic lawmakers saying that contrast could even help the president's re-election chances in 2024. george? >> thanks. now to the supreme court agreeing to take up a court that could impact donald trump's federal election interference trial. a law used against trump and other january 6 defendants. senior national correspondent terry moran has the story. good morning, terry. >> reporter: good morning, george. this case could have a big impact on the presidential election. hundreds of people who stormed the capitol and donald trump himself have all been charged under the same federal law that

makes it a crime to, quote, corruptly obstruct an official proceeding. but now the supreme court has announced that it will hear an appeal from one of the january 6th defendants who is arguing that that law, which was originally passed by congress to deal with witness tampering and corporate crime cases cannot be applied to the attack on the capitol. republicans have been saying this for months. they say the justice department has been overcharging some of the january 6th defendants. if the supreme court agrees with this argument, two of the four charges against donald trump would go away. trump got another boost in this case when the judge put all the proceedings on hold pending another appeal by donald trump on another issue that his claim of presidential immunity for everything he did to overturn the 2020 election. and that appeal could delay this trial, which is now scheduled to start in march, for months. robin? >> that it could. all right, terry. thank you. and the supreme court will also decide on the availability of a

commonly used abortion pill. it's the first major case involving abortion since the court overturned roe versus wade. rachel scott is here with more on that. good morning, rachel. >> reporter: good morning. millions of women will be watching this case. what the supreme court decides could change access to abortion for the second time in nearly two years. at the center of this case, the abortion pill mifopristone.

drug is used in more than half of the abortions in the u.s. the biden administration promised to fight a law that would make the drug less available, preventing it from being mailed to patients or prescribed during a tele health appointment. instead of requiring it be taken at a doctor's office, not at home.

the bottom line here, whatever the supreme court decides will not take the pill off the market, but it could make it harder to get access to it, even in states where abortion is currently legal. the justices are expected to weigh in by june, putting this issue front and center during the 2024 election. >> many people will be watching. thanks. now an urgent warning from police after a string of attempted kidnappings near the university of arizona all involving women college students in just the past week. rhiannon ally is tracking this. good morning. >> reporter: good morning, robin. this is really scary. as students are getting ready for winter break, they should be celebrating, having fun. it's hard for students at one university in arizona to let loose when their sense of security is being threateneded after three attempted abductions in less than a week. this morning an urgent investigation under way after a terrifying string of attempted abductions of college women. >> t has dedicated patrol,

investigative forensic personnel who are working tirelessly to identify and arrest the suspect or suspects involved in these incidents. >> reporter: tucson police saying in less than a week, there have been three attempted abductions of students at the university of arizona. each attempt within a mile of campus and every incident similar. a man following the women in his car. one victim was attacked from behind, screaming before the suspect fled. a second woman reported being followed by a car. the third woman groped but was able to get away. police are now searching for the suspect, described as driving a four door dark blue vehicle. >> 5' 10" to 6' tall, medium to heavyset build with close buzz cut hair. >> reporter: university students are now on edge. >> i'm not with at least two other people walking at night, i won't be around by myself. >> reporter: until they catch this guy, that's exactly what campus police are advising students to do, to travel in

group, not alone. they will also have increased patrol an the fbi has joined this investigation. hopefully this puts students a little more at ease. >> we hope so. thank you. now to the markets jumping up after the federal reserve signaled that it is done raising interest rates and expects to cut them next year. elizabeth schulze is at the federal reserve in washington with what this means for you. good morning, elizabeth. >> reporter: good morning, michael. the federal reserve here is entering a new era signaling it will cut interest rates three times next year after an historic series of rate hikes. that is sending the stock market to all time high. the dow jones industrial average surged 512 points wednesday after the fed's decision. with the index closing above 37,000 for the first time on record. in just the past month, the dow is up 8%. put that into dollar terms, for the average 401k balance, you'll see an increase of just about $8,000 in one month. traders are in high spirits because inflation has cooled enough to convince the fed that it can stop raising rates.

fed chair jerome powell said the central bank is looking at rate cuts next year so that would make it less expensive for businesses and consumers to borrow money. mortgage, credit card costs auto loans would go down. it would be relief. americans credit card debt is at a record high, with almost half of card holders carrying a balance from month to month. so the bottom line here, the question now even if the fed will lower the borrowing cost, but when. many analysts are telling me it could happen as soon as march of next year, guys. >> can't get here fast enough for a lot of people, i'm sure, elizabeth. thank you. coming up, we have the latest in the assault trial of actor jonathan majors as the judge releases evidence in the case, including video, audio and text. plus the 32-year-old social worker accused of posing as a high schooler is facing new charges. oprah revealing she is using a weight loss drug and is done with the shaming. first let's go back to sam. >> how about lake effect snow? i thought i heard someone singing it's the most wonderful time of the year.

and tell your doctor if you have had it, as it could come back. kesimpta can cause serious side effects, including infections. while no cases of pml were reported in rms clinical trials, it could happen. tell your doctor if you had or plan to have vaccines, or if you are or plan to become pregnant. kesimpta may cause a decrease in some types of antibodies. the most common side effects are upper respiratory tract infection, headache, and injection reactions. ask your doctor about treating rms with kesimpta.

[ laughter ] i'll tell you that. we have a lot more ahead including new research on severe morning sickness that could lead to better treatment. that's coming up. but right now we want to get to the trial of actor jonathan majors for allegedly assaulting his ex-girlfriend. the defense rested and the judge the evidence including video, audio, text and photos to be released. aaron katersky has the latest for us. good morning. >> reporter: michael, good morning. from here in court. jonathan majors with roles in ant man, the wasp, creed 3, was on the cusp of super stardom. now he's on trial for misdemeanor assault and harassment and the jury is about to get the case. this morning jonathan majors returns to court as the jury prepares to decide a domestic violence case that could determine the trajectory of the actor's career. >> what happened exactly, do you know? >> no, i don't know. she's unconscious. >> reporter: majors called 911 back in august.

>> i think i saw a cut behind her ear. >> reporter: after he found her on a closet floor in their apartment. the jury saw video from police body worn cameras. jabbari did have a cut behind her ear. the jury saw the picture of it. the jury also saw a photo of her finger that she testified majors fractured. it was during an assault in the back seat of an suv. my head was resting on his shoulder, jabbari told the jury. we were chatting and he was scrolling on his phone when a message popped up saying i wish i was kissing you. upset by the message, jabbari testified she grabbed the phone. then i felt a heavy thud on top of me what i knew to be the weight of him on top of me and him trying to pry the phone out of my fingers. video shows majors hoisting jabbari off the ground, shoving her back in the car before he's seen running off. she chases after him. he pushes her away and runs off. jabbari crossing traffic in pursuit. >> this case will hinge on two major components.

one, do you believe grace jabbari was injured by jonathan majors from all the video and testimony we saw and heard? and, two, was jonathan majors justified in his actions after grace jabbari admittedly took his property, his cell phone, and he tried to recover it from her. >> reporter: majors' career had been taking off when the star and jabbari met on the set of ant man and the wasp and began dating. before the alleged assault she testified he had mood swings and a temper. the jury seeing text messages purporting to show majors dissuading her from going to the hospital following an altercation between them in 2022. the jury also hearing this recording scolding jabbari. >> how dare you come home and talk about our house. >> reporter: telling her he needs a great woman because he's a great man. >> loretta scott king. do you know who that is?

dr. king's wife. michelle obama. barack obama's wife. all that. all that said. i am a great man. a great man. i am doing great things, not just for me, but for my culture and for the world. that is actually the position i'm in. the woman with me needs to be a great woman. >> reporter: majors did not testify in his own defense, but his attorneys tasked him as a victim of grace jabbari's aggression. if convicted he faces up to a year in prison. guys? >> aaron, thank you very much. now the 32-year-old woman accused of posing as a high school student. she faces new charges after pretending to be a traumatized child while collecting a salary as a massachusetts social worker. trevor ault has the story. good morning, trevor. >> reporter: good morning, george. investigators say this all began when a man claimed he was withdrawing his daughter from school because she was bullied even though she had just enrolled in the school a week prior. school officials thought something was up. prosecutors say that student was a woman in her early 30s.

this morning the massachusetts woman accused of posing as a boston public school high school student now facing multiple felony charges. investigators say last year 32-year-old shelby hewitt enrolled in three separate schools presenting herself as a teen foster child as young as 13 going by the name of daniella and ellie. >> in reality she was employed as a social worker. she was in her 30s. she had attended college and graduate school. >> reporter: prosecutors allege while hewitt was working as a social worker at the state department of children and families, she created multiple names and dates of birth for herself and several fake social workers to spread a false narrative she was an extremely traumatized child with significant special educational needs. 16-year-old janelle said she befriended hewitt in school and the pair had three classes together. she said she suspected hewitt had some mental health troubles because she'd have outbursts in class, but never suspected she was a different age.

we're going to turn to two big stories on the nba court overnight starting with the golden state warriors star draymond green, who has now been suspended indefinitely. will reeve is here. tell us why. good morning. >> good morning, robin. this is draymond green's sixth suspension of his nba career. second in less than a month. this time it was for swinging wildly at the phoenix suns center, knocking him to the ground. green claimed it was unintentional but he's got a long list of prior on court offenses. last month there he is choking out rudy gobert. that earned him a five game suspension. other suspensions include that famous kick of lebron james below the belt in the 2016 nba finals. and his team issued a ban in 2018 for a confrontation with a teammate kevin durant when they were on the warriors together. green escaped punishment for punching jordan poole in training camp last year. that's from that tmz video.

green is a four time champion, 2017 defensive player of the year. he's been a foundation of the warriors dynasty but is known to play on the edge. now the nba is deeming he's gone over it, too far, too often, saying for green to return he will, quote, be required to meet certain league and team conditions. >> yes. george's favorite player giannis. yeah, yeah. >> say his last name. >> no, you say it. thank you, sir. little bit of commotion after the game. >> a wild night between the bucks and pacers. giannis scored a franchise record 64 points which is fantastic. then things got a little weird after the game. giannis wanted the game ball. he ran back to the tunnel to grab it. said he wanted it to go to damian lillard. the pacers wanted to keep the ball to give it to a rookie who scored his first nba point. ultimately giannis did get a ball but he wasn't sure it was

the game ball. it was a mess all around. >> do we know who got the game ball? >> that's the mystery. i will stay on it. i will find out. we don't know who has it. >> you needed three of them. there were three things going on. wow. >> lot to celebrate. all right, will. thank you. coming up, why oprah is saying she is done with the shaming. come on back. hey.

activity and when a patient has kind of optimized all those interventions and they're still having struggles with their weight, then this is a great tool for them to get to an overall healthier weight and improve their risk of having other weight related conditions. >> experts say access to these drugs can be a barrier if they are not covered by medicare and demand outweighs the current supply. the new issue of "people" is available on newsstands friday. >> i also appreciated what she said. something about will power. people who have trouble losing weight, others will say, you just have to have will power. it goes beyond that. it goes beyond that. >> not that easy. >> no it is not. all right. eva, thank you. coming up next we have our play of the day on this thursday morning. ♪

vomiting is the leading cause of hospitalization in early pregnancy. in a recent study published in the journal nature, researchers found women who were nauseous during pregnancy had a significantly higher level of a hormone gdf15. what's cool about this discovery is that while there is no cure now, it may give us new treatment options in the future as researchers look into if targeting that hormone could effectively help women suffering with nausea and vomiting during pregnancy. good news for a lot of people, guys. >> eva, thank you. coming up in our gma morning menu, the actress known for her role in the big bang theory revealing her lung cancer diagnosis at just 43, and the new study on women and that disease. tory johnson here with the final deals and steals of the year. great gift ideas that will arrive just in time for christmas. plus my one on one with george clooney, directing and inspiring new movie based on a true story.
